How to Restore and Fix Bricked Samsung Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100) with UnBrickable SD

By
Wonder how you can fix and restore your dead and hard-bricked Samsung Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100) from messing-up tinkering?
Well, good news and need not to worry anymore, AdamOutler an Elite Recognized Developer from XDA and his team who created the UnBrickable Mod from the Galaxy S series now deploys a working Unbrickable SD that fix and resurrect hard-bricked and dead Samsung Galaxy Camera. This is going to be the best solution when you messed-up your Samsung Galaxy Camera and ended up from hard brick. You can now easily repair it by using this tool.This is also a very useful solution for those advance users even not bricked but loves to tweaks their Galaxy Camera and prevents them from future hard bricking.

When your Galaxy Camera is already hard bricked, the SBOOT is damaged and then it will not boot normally. This  cannot be easily recovered by Odin and flashing the factory image directly  because the device is already locked up and Odin factory mode (Recovery mode and Download mode) will no longer work. So, AdamOutler's idea to restore the device is by enabling the SBOOT by loading via the SDCard BOOT and reload onto the EMMC. By this method, by which Odin factory modes are enabled again, thus we can now flash the partition image (PIT file) and the Factory stock image (Firmware).

This unbricking procedure needs just a little workaround since it requires disassembling the device but its not that much brings you hassles when you badly needed bringing back your device to life. Some part of this process is by shorting a tiny parts called resistor on the device motherboard and then you are on your way to successfully restore your Galaxy Camera

UnBrickable SD- The ultimate in Exynos Necromancy
The UnBrickable SD allows for total resurrection of an otherwise hard-bricked and dead device. It takes a device-specific SDCard, and a jumper to be placed across a tiny resistor. This triggers the device to silently boot at which point it will count to 10 and reload the device's bootloaders. This uses Samsung Official firmware unlike UnBrickable SD Mod  which allows for dual-booting of custom and official.

Now head over to AdamOutler XDA-Developer original thread and follow the step by step guide on how to restore and fix your bricked Samsung Galaxy Camera.

Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

By
The paint chipping issue reported by some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 users appears to be a recurring problem that was also seen with the Z Fold 6. Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body. Samsung’s support page for the Z Fold 6 suggests that poorly grounded third-party chargers can cause leakage currents, damaging the anodized finish and leading to paint chipping. This is why Samsung advises using only official chargers. However, since at least one affected user on Reddit reported using an official 25W Samsung charger, it raises concerns that the problem might not be solely due to third-party chargers. It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions. Received the phone and been using for almost a week. Treated the phone like a baby but the paint seems to start peeling off (sort of) day by ...
