hey guys i just flashed to 2.3.4 and the results are amazing...!
like others i was also afraid to flash as it was first time...

1.i have not rooted my mini yet(afraid that warranty will be void)...
on froyo the qudrant benchmark score was 531 but after flashing to gb its 967(...!)..antutu score is 1559.. don't know how much it was before in froyo..angry birds and other games much smoothly on gb..

2.actually i had around 31 apps installed when i was using froyo and out of 160mb of phone memory only 70mb was free and before flashing i backed all apps using astro file manager and reinstalled all of them after upgrading gb..to my surprise i still have 123mb free phone memory even after installing all of them(..)..this a single reason why you should upgrade to gb..

3.i know if you install cm7(or any custom roms) you can still increase the device performance,but its a bit easier to flash using odin(and safe)..

4.i know there are many people(like me) who don't want to root the phone and are afraid in trying custom roms but yet want to improve their phone's performance,so for them gb is a must..

hope it helps..

Hello suicidallooney
-I will install driver thru Kies.
-I found *.ops file from samfirmware.com they are all the same version right? I got the one with file size 105kb and using it with the rest of the files as Small_town_boy tutorial.
-I am actually already reading your post regarding recovering from brick at http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570/403479-q-samsung-galaxy-mini-s5570l-bricked.html

Wish I can add you thru my jmerilo at gmail dot com

Thanks!

-Reinstalled drivers.
-Odin Can detect the phone when powered on during driver test it say Com9 but in device driver port it says com10
-Odin cant detec phone when pressing the three keys then plug into the pc

Is my phone totally bricked?

Is there a way to still recover from this?

Thanks
