O.O depends on how hard you bricked your phone. if it's soft brick just use odin and flash back to stock rom. if you can't enter download mode then use usb jig (only for samsung). if you still can't enter download mode after using usb jig, samsung center is your only hope. |

Managed to test out the Samsung Galaxy W at the Samsung Store in Gardens Mall today.
Build quality is good, feels solid in the hands. Nice texture of the back of the phone for grip. The overall look of the phone is nice, simple and elegant. I'm also impressed with the display quality of the S-LCD. Colours look vibrant and sharp. Not as saturated and deep as the SAMOLED+ of the SGS II, but natural enough for my liking. Responsiveness of the touch screen is also pretty good. Swiping across the homescreens with multiple widgets is a breeze. The 3D Swipe thing works decently as well. Not much noticeable lag in the General UI.. so far so good! Web browsing is the excellent part of this phone(for me). Scrolling and pinch to zoom on web pages like engadget or gsmarena or forum.lowyat.net was silky smooth. I'm amazed how the processor manages to excel in this department very very well. I'd dare to say that the web browsing experience is close to that of the Samsung Galaxy S II. |

BTW guys if you are worried about warranty don't go root la...there is a lot of things you can do WITHOUT rooting...rooting is not for n00bs and absolutely not for those who easily get heart attack (not for the faint of heart) because rooting and messing around with the file system can seriously cause problems if you dont know what you're doing. Also as mentioned before there's a counter to track the number of times you root and unroot, if samsung wants to deny your warranty because of this they have the right to do so.
If you can't afford to buy another phone because you rooted the phone and bricked it - don't. Its as simple as that. You can still use outside APKs without rooting unlike iPhone. I won't say the word. You know what i mean by saying this.

I can confirm that the root guide give in xda forum is safe for our galaxy W
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582 I had done it, no problems. baseband verson I8150DXKJ2 kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXKJ3-CL644706root@DELL137#3 I guess if ur phone is the same version as mine, there shud not be any problems too. I was worried to root my phone, i had bricked my previous phone a galaxy mini before. But the temptation to be able to use apps that needs root is too strong. good thing is, i m just gonna stop by this stage if the cpu wasn't already tebo to 1.4ghz, i would already be searching for how to overclock it. overclocking on the galaxy mini is fun, 825mhz and the battery drains like shit |
