Completely unresponsive: jig or warranty?

It's pretty classic. Was using Odin3 1.7 to go back to stock, it completed successfully and I was greeted with a black screen. No lights on the buttons, nothing on the screen, no vibration, nothing. I've tried every solution I can find, no combination of buttons or USB connection will evoke a response.
Is it worth throwing together a jig or is it time to call AT&T? I'm within a year of purchase, might be able to BS a replacement out of them. Thanks for any help/thoughts.

Yeah a jig wouldn't hurt.. but if you can't do anything with it you could send it to mobiletechvideos for jtag or get a jtag kit... or BS att

What did you end up doing? I have this problem now, but no longer under warranty.

Old Phone

Not sure if this is really off topic or not but, I had a old galaxy s 1 and I lost it. I told T-Mobile to cancel the phone then a few months later I found but, they already sent me my replacement and my parents canceled the warranty.
Now I want to know if I can put my sim card into the Galaxy s 1 to use or not.

It depends if they blocked the IMEI of your Galaxy S.

What if it is blocked. Can I still use it as a IPod touch and can they track me down?

Yes, you can use it as a media device.

If I put my sim card into the phone to see if its blocked or not. Will they be able to track me down? I told them I lost it at the airport but, it was in my bookbag the whole time.

What if I just turn on the phone without a sim card? Track or No? Lol I just want to be on the safe side.

Why not just call them, and tell them you found it, and RETURN IT.
Or do you like defrauding your carrier/insurance co (of said carrier)??

You should edit your imei out of the picture 2 and 4... Very nice though, reminds me I actually need to replace the screen of my gnex

I'm sure one of my four nexus 4's will break how hard is it to replace/take apart ( similar to iPhone replacement. And how much did the parts cost.

5 posts since 2006............ he might not be back for a while. He will wake up tomorrow with a phone that no longer works and will begin to think he caused it during the screen replacement.

Someone can take it and blacklist the phone so it won't work on the network

IMEI removed, you need to be more cautious sometimes

Do you have access to the sim slot? If so, could you take a close up picture and post it. The sim ejection mechanism is what is causing the rattling noise in a lo of phones. I want to find a way to fix that.
PS. How did you get your hand on a replacement screen?

I paid for tapatalk just a while back. But when I try to get it now they want me to pay again.. I paid for this one that comes up when I put tapatalk inn the playstore right now. I had it just days ago before I did the update. But here's the response from them. Pathetic. What would you guys do?

I had to buy it again too with the new update. Idk why they did that, was really Pissed but had to have it.

Yep the old one is free (classic whatever that is)
But I have paid for the old one and tapatalk 4 and now they are both gone wtf?

It didn't do that to me. I purchased it a long time ago and was able to install it just now. I'd be passed to.

I just had an update notification that Tapatalk needed my permission to update itself. So I let it. Now my old Tapatalk 2 is gone and I'm stuck with the ****ty new version that's slow as hell. Might as well go back to the xda app

Yes I did. A long time ago. So now I'm also using the free on as well? That's a bunch of crap.

Money hungry.
Here is a better explanation: http://m.androidcentral.com/tapatalk-now-free-hd-version-renamed-pro-additional-features

I bought it when they had the 99 cent sale to roll out the new one with Holo UI. I'd heard enough about it I just bought it to try it. Now I have the HD Version in my App pool, so I'm good here.
I still don't use it though. I appreciate the easy access to some things like "participated" and "subscribed" but maybe I'm doing it wrong... or not on enough forums that it supports. For the light forum use I do, and since it doesn't cover them all, I'm still just using my mobile browser.

hmmm. im curious about this too. I've just added Sprint insurance and dropped BestBuy's because theirs didnt cover theft or loss.

Sprint will tell you to call asurion and its $150 deductible

is that for Loss and damaged broken screens? I wonder if they'd actually give you a new one or refurbished.

No matter what the reason I need a repair is I just tell them the phone was stolen.

Ya I think if I had a problem and was gunna have to pay I would do the same. It ain't like the old days when u could just walk in complain about ur phone and walk out with a new one being shipped to u. I had many phones replaced in the past without paying anything. I went in today to let them know about my phone getting hot sometimes after a long charge and they said since it didn't happen in front of them they can't replace it. There used to be $50 or $100 deductible depending on what the cause for replacement was I guess now its just a straight 150?
I think that's the reason I drop the insurance back in the past I added it with this phone but I don't know if I'll keep it if that's the way it's going to be

Well sprint can't repair the one so lost, stolen, damaged is 150 deductible. If software related(and they can't prove you did it) and still under warranty no charge
