Folks,
It seems over on XDA there is quite the discussion about stock phones hitting the eMMC hard brick bug on the new UCLE5 firmware when performing a factory reset. This seems to be affecting any I777 running UCLE5, rooted or not. I have finally started seeing the decrease in battery life, screen lag and overall poor performance a lot of other users are seeing with the ICS update. I want to perform a factory reset per several recommendations on these forums, but I can't risk a hard brick, as this is my work phone. It has never been rooted or had the bootloader unlocked, totally stock. Has anyone else seen this issue, and if so, have you had any issues with getting any kind of support? Sammy is usually better than this, I can't believe they would allow an update to go out with such a potentially lethal bug in it.
