i just wanted to make this thread to warn people. my phone just broke. wont turn on. and i have tried everything!!! the same thing happened to mssmison's old phone. and we think its just from flashing so many times that we just wore out the rom. i have probably (no lie) flashed my phone 60 times if not more. so i just wanna let everone know to go easy on the flashing as you may eventually break your phone!!!
i honestly dont think android messed it up i just wore the phone out.
android is not the cause of my phone crashing. so you can flash android to your phone, just dont go all buckwild on it and flash it like a fat guy at dunken donuts

Wow...
Sorry to hear about that.
Thanks for the heads up.
Sorry to hear that So it won't turn on at all, nothing? reboot button does nothing? Stinks man =/
I've noticed my phone sputter a few times when I was flashing, or rebooting, like I'll have to press reboot a few times before it responds. I always wonder how long this thing can possibly endure.

I read about this some times.
After diagnostic service only one answer: memory chip died.
I installed the odin one click from the CAPTIVATE .... and now the phone only flashes AT&T LOGO the usb is not working any more, not charging not doing anything, and i can't get it by any means in download mode or other mode again. The only thing it will do is flash AT&T logo.... can i get it fixed. or i will have to put it for sale as parts ? thanks hope someone can give me a good advice and help me repair it ...

It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

im sure samsung can fix it evan by changing the sd in the phone with the correct soft will solve it, but i want to see if there is another way of doing it
In the process of attempting to go to 2.2 my phone got bricked..
It won't even turn on now.
Anything I can do?
search "jig" ...
I know beggers can't be choosers.. but, is there any other options?
I am more accustomed to software than hardware..

If it won't respond to any button combos, then no, a jig is your only option.
If a jig won't bring it back, I hope you still have warranty left
I have read there is an easier way than chopping up usb so I will try the resistor method tomorrow maybe.
I was reading typically the only way to do this is to more or less totally kill your bootloader..
So if I can't get the resistor method working and I file a warranty.. I wonder if it would go through? or if they would actually try to check and see what I have done.. and if they did check if they would try to see if I rooted or what not..
and what is the typical success rate of jigs?

This would be the perfect time to file it..... as they just released an update (US) . Blame it on the Update.

Pretty much my plan..
I would guess the likely hood of my phone dying is about the same either way.
If my computer died in the middle of the real update, I am willing to bet the same thing would have happened..
Wonder if I should try to switch out for atrix XD (kidding for the most part).
*edit* a user on android forums actually had a pretty good question.
If it is bricked like this..
Will they be able to tell that it was every rooted/flashed because even if they do get it to the DLM screen whatever they load would just reflash it..
So I went to look check my phone, and it slipped from my hand, tried grabbing it, Felt like slow-mo, and just missed it, and watched it fall into the deep fat fryer, So I then had to watch it cook for 4 mins at 240°C.
Obviously turn of the fryer, and tried to dig out with tongs.
The interesting thing is it still works! Tad greasy, absolutly EVERYTHING work, Apart from the speak, So its now useless as a phone :/
Is the speaker user replaceable?

well, that's a pretty interesting story, man.
do you mean the speaker is broken or the microphone? you'll probably be able to get it repaired by samsung assuming you have a warranty on it.
With respect, would you really trust a phone, even repaired that you DEEP FRIED for 4 minutes? Be lucky you can get your data off it and buy a new phone!

Hmmm deep fried Gingerbread...lol
In all honesty, funkyblue is right. Get what data/contacts you can (if not backed up to google) and get yourself a new phone. If your headset port isn't caked up with grease then maybe you can use it as a glorified MP3/music player.
How on earth did the battery not die?
Forget the speaker, I think the main thing we are all curious about is...do you eat a deep fried SGS with ketchup, or malt vinegar?
Post the pics
BAHAHAHAHA (sorry!), this is the funniest title since someone deep froze their sgs (iirc).
But as to your question, I wouldn't be surprised if the speaker is replacable, iirc its a modular component!
EDIT: wait, was it 454 or 240 degrees? Big difference
or you can keep it and use phone with bluetooth headset???
Pictures have now been added, Sorry for the delay!
The speaker is now working albeit very quietly, There is this greasy ring inside the camera when taking a picture, Guessing oil is trapped in there.

turn off your powersaving apps and change your screen settings powersaving mode.
Please can you attach a photo? We can't tell you if its a hardware problem, energy save config or a kind of bug. When you turn on your phone, the green tint is still in the bootscreen? or just when the phone powers on completly?. We need more info please! Good luck! Sorry my bad english!

is the word Galaxy note also displayed in green when you first turn on the phone?
the galaxy note moniker is part of the bootloader ,the samsung moniker is part of the kernel and the OS.
if you get a clean Galaxy note splash screen then maybe there is hope ,but if not then I think that confirms it's a hardware thing.
best of luck.

I guess you know but just to be sure...you really should bring it back to stock rom and kernel first and check your binary counter. Otherwise you won't have any warranty.
My note became awfull yellowish over time and 'luckily' also had a heavy burn in problem. Send the device in 'as stock' and my screen was replaced under warranty without questions.
btw. my experience with the Sammy service center was good, received the device back within a week.
S'pose you don't like Shrek to huh.....oeps...sorry...couldn't resist.....
Good news,
My screen is going to be replaced under warranty without questions!! They took a look at my Note and said : Oh we have to replace the screen.........that simple!!

good service example, you went straight to Samsung service centre?
definitely an LCD issue. You know its not the rom when it's green before the rom starts. And since the screen shot is digital, it won't show you green if it's the LCD.
