This.
I had the same issue and thought I had bricked it... If you plug the USB cable into the computer but not into the phone, then pull the battery out of the back, wait 30 seconds, put the battery back in and put the cover on, hold down both buttons at the same time and while holding them, stick the micro part of the SD cable into the phone, it boots into download mode.

tried both these, and a couple other combos i've found and nothing works.

Have you tried the 300k/301k/302k ohm USB jig?

Some people find it easier to explain their own problems than to read through others' problems to determine their fix. If you don't have the desire to help me out, then don't post in this thread. Your thoughts on how this forum could be improved aren't contributing to the fix of my phone so why bother?

I have the same problem. JIG doesn't help at all. BTW, I made two cable and tested on a working captivate. the JIG cable does work. It's just not working on the complete-bricked phone.
I tried any method I could find on the forum and nothing works. I don't even know how a successful flash (reported by ODIN) and the phone reboot itself and then complete dead after that.

so if I filed a claim for insurance no one be the wiser about me having unauthorized software on my phone?

If your phone shows absolutely no sign of life whatsoever, then something may have killed the hardware. You didn't say what you did to cause the hard bricking. Were you flashing a ROM?

Happened to me when I first flashed the official OTA update. It stopped mid download and tried to apply the update. Phone was completely dead and had to get it replaced...

Galaxy Tab bricked.. like really bricked

Ok guys, I feel this is just the end of the games... I was flashing back the Roto JME fw with the swype keyboard issue fixed that I have just made, when I accidentally unplugged the tab while starting flashing and in downloading mode.
Now all I get is a logo with a phone an alert symbol and a computer .
Windows as well as Odin see it, but I can't do anything, as Odin hangs on waiting for connection, or something like that.
Is there anything I can do?? Or do I really have to take it to the warranty? And if I will have to take it to the warranty will they see I have previously flashed a beta rooted image on it??
Here's what I am talking about
Please I need some help..
Thanks

Is there no recovery mode by buttons like the captivate? I hate seeing all the bricks

I've heard plenty of goofy stories about bricking devices over the years. You must conclude the following:
1.Flash your device in a locked room to avoid your wife/ child pulling cables or pressing buttons.
2.Don't touch anything while you're flashing. This is why many people that could help you will ignore you after reading about 'accidentally disconnected' wires - they just assume you're a moron not worth helping.
3.Read instructions carefully and write the procedure out in your own words if its your first time.
I've been flashing for years and haven't had a brick yet. Not crossing my fingers either because it has little to do with luck and much to do with care. In this way its a lot like making babies...

Good advice.
My only semi-bricks (that involved an hour or two of trial and error to unbrick) resulted from some manner of overzealous cable unplugging.

Well, first of all thanks for ur nice words. Let me just say that I was about to disconnect another device from the hub where the GTAB was attached and flashing at that time, and yea, I accidentally unplugged the GTAB instead of the other device. I may be a moron, thanks, and thankfully not everyone believes themselves as god, which is a good reason to not help other people who are in troubles, even if for stupid things sometimes... If everyone were thinking like u we were probably still at the age of 1400 ...

Mate it wasn't a barb directed at you personally, but you weren't exactly careful were you?
I'm no god... but I've never bricked a device either, and I've been flashing for over five years now. To top it off I've almost never owned a device which could be taken back to the shop (90% of them come from other countries, not my local retailers). Perhaps this has taught me to be careful.
In any case, what I said holds true, and if you ask around I'm certain you find most will agree.

Dude, you have the best avatar! I can't keep my eyes away! Good luck, and don't worry about mistakes - that is one reason this forum exists.

Cannot start my Gtab after trying update JMC
...Hello everybody,
I am really worry about the fact my Gtab doesn't want to switch on after trying to flash it. I tried all process to put it on download mode or recovery but nothing work.
Do you have any idea about it ? Is there a specific procedure to switch on (eg : press power for 1 minutes + blablabla).
My provider doesn't want to take my Gtab in warenty before my contract is activated (the 4th of february).
Thank you for your answer

I also had a semi-bricked VZW Tab, with the phone-triangle-computer warning graphic at start up. (I flashed a new boot loader, and failed to read the instructions closely enough. Either the file was incorrect for my device, or the drivers were not loaded correctly, but my tablet was borked.)
Using heimdall 1.3.2 (with the correct drivers, on a 32-bit windows system), I clicked the "close pc screen" option to clear the warning.
I then held the power button until it turned off, then held vol+ and power to re-enter download mode. Once in download mode, I used heimdall 1.1.1 to flash the zImage from SCH-I800-Stock-Rooted-2.3.5. My tablet (still unrooted, and still stock?) booted, but sat at the SAMSUNG logo for ten minutes or more. (It announced its progress, telling me periodically "five minutes remaining", etc.)
Once it finished, my tablet was revived. I will now follow the above advice and read all instructions very carefully, re-writing them in my own words to ensure I understand what I'm doing, before I try this again.

...like REALLY bricked
bumping this old thread in hopes that someone can point me in the right direction...
Got my p7510 (10.1" wifi retail) stuck pretty badly when trying to restore stock ROM coming from Overcome (it came rooted from ebay). From what I gather from the forums, seems like my bootloader is still locked.
whenever I attempt to flash a BOOTLOADER, PIT, or PDA using ODIN it connects, initializes, and gets stuck on "Flashing boot.img"
I think the recovery partition is damaged. When I boot using Power + Volume Down, I can get to the screen where you select recovery mode or download mode but recovery mode will not load. The screen flickers when I select recovery, but goes nowhere. Download mode works.
I tried using nvflash to force the right software onto it but I get error 0x4 (usb write failed).
There has to be a way to restore the stock bootloader and get this thing running again. Tablet will not boot android at this point. I have been searching the forums for about a week now, anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Major phone issue (hardbrick?)

I tried flashing the ics source port but forgot to flash cm7 first... It flashed fine and I followed the procedure to flash. The phone would turn on but always go straight to recovery. I figured this was because I didn't go to cm7 first, so I went to flash it but I kept getting errors. I went to flash stock, it started going so I walked away. When I came back my phone was just a white screen and odin was stuck at sbl.bin. So now I can't boot up the phone, there's no bootloaders, just a black screen whenever I try to do anything. The thing is, I can get into download mode just fine through button combos which leads me to think it's not bricked. However, odin/heimdall will not recognize it... Anyone know what to do?
EDIT: View last post by me.

Try the things listed in the "connectivity issues" post attached to my signature. If none of those works to get Odin/Heimdall to see your phone, post back.

followed it. Didn't recognize for like a minute then it showed up. I started it but it's stuck at do not turn off the target

tried again and same thing

What is it showing on the computer side (i.e. what is Odin/Heimdall saying right now)?

I'm using odin right now. But heimdal would always just say not recognized or whatever it says. Odin, when I get it to finally recognize after waiting a minute using your method, it just gets to DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET! and stalls there.

I got it to work. No clue what made it finally work

Good to hear. I know the feeling - it's like the computer/phone are just messing with you.

Damn. A similar thing happened. I had to flash to stock since button combos weren't working, and all the sudden while odin was running my screen just went black. I waited to see if anything would happen, but everything just stalled there. I've been trying to use my homemade 100k ohm resistor jig, and button combos to get into download mode but nothing seems to be doing anything. Am I bricked?

If u have no signs of life at all (no battery charging screen when u plug into a wall charger or no kind of something happening if u try to power it on) then u r hard bricked.
But there is Jtag and the Unbrickable Mod.

Sometimes, if you get a lucky brick, the UnBrickable resurrector will work without any mod. This is rare, but its a shot. If you need a mod and don't have the tools, pm me.

I had something similar happen to me,when I was running A6 or A7. I even noticed that I was losing folders that were visible on CWM. I was going to try to re-flash the ROM, but those folders were gone. What fixed it for me, was I did a Factory Reset, and al of the lost folders came back, and I was able to Odin back to stock. I was one of the more weird things I'd seen with my Cap

Galaxy Note - restored Rom, now Bricked!!!

I don't expect I can be helped, but I needed to restore my rooted Note and after going through the backup/restore process my note died and now will not switch on in any mode (download including). After reading on here I would appear to have "bricked" my Note. Can any one advise / help? Can I claim on phone insurance? Is there any point returning it to Samsung?

you are in stock ICS LPY Germany ???
restored with recovery stock or CWM CF??

The rooting process will have invalidated your warranty....
BUT....
if you are fully hard bricked (sounds like it), take it to Samsung service and say, "I was doing an official update to stock ROM with KIES and it just died".
Good luck.

why is this in development?

oh yeah you are bricked and most of all

yes it was stock ICS (germany)
and recovery was CWM CF
think I'll try Samsung service then if all else fails will try to claim on phone / home insurance.
Darn.

Good luck

you don't do it, just say to them your phone was off can't boot, just that, because they already know the reason was, cheer up!

I presume you've tried taking battery out and wait 10sec, put back in.
Is recovery and download mode working???
Recovery = holding vol up + home + power btn
Download = holding vol down + home + power btn

If....with odin classic stop in the flash gingerbread procedure you are in brick situation....
prove to retun in Gingerbread firmware

Hehe that's happen when you do stuff without READ FIRST. You fuc*ed up your /data partition
anyway there is a post in general forum about how to reformat partitions
If you have warranty send it to Sammy. If not then check that post.

I cannot enter download or recovery, no matter what I do and cannot see how I will be able to repartition if I cannot switch device on. I know I've made a mistake - but everyone has to start tinkering somewhere and this was mine, if I was an expert I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Last resort, I buy a cack phone and never play around again (but we wouldn't get anywhere if people did that).

I think you can try to get another phone from samsung. just say you ware using it as ussual then it just died after left charging over night. Don't mention words like brick or root or rom or recovery bla bla bla. And if you get lucky this time, i recommend doing some researches before doing anything serious next time

Hi there, tried the battery out and wait then switch on, did nothing. Waited 10 mins tried again, still nothing. Computer will not recognise connected device by USB. It would appear that I'm doomed!!!!

Send the phone back to Samsung
Also this not happens because you play with your phone. This happens when you do stuff without READ FIRST. People need to understand that if you want to do anything you need learn how to do it before doing it.
There are HUNDREDS of threads about this bricks.

OK - I get it, I should not have done this, but I have and now I need to deal with it. If I didn't do something every time I was told not to do it, I'd be a sad lonely man (but maybe with a phone that works). Oh well, I'll have to buy an SIII then.....

[Q] Cannot boot after flashing incorrect kernal.

Hello,
I'd like to preface this to say I've searched through this and other sites but have not found quite the same problem. I also apologise for the small wall of text. I just want to post everything that seems relevant.
Several weeks ago I unlocked my phone and flashed the latest stable Cyanogenmod. This has all gone fine. I decided today I wanted to try something else and settled on TeamAsylum's 4.4 rom.
Downloaded a whole bunch of stuff and was a little confused as the flashing process seemed a bit different and I didn't fully understand it. I booted into Clockwork Recovery and inadvertently flashed the raw kernel from here, which I downloaded in my searches earlier thinking I needed it. I rebooted the recovery but now I get nothing from the phone. No lights, no display, no vibrations.
I have tried a reset (Power+Volume UP). I have tried using SUS and Flashtool but both get to the same point and stop (hole Volume DOWN and plug USB in). Nothing happens after this. The only thing telling me the phone is alive is when I plug it in, Windows makes the detected sound. If it's plugged in when I hold power+Volume UP it repeats the detection sound as if the phone is trying to boot over and over.
I realise I have ****ed up by flashing the kernal of a different phone. I'm hoping someone can help me or guide me in the right direction.
Thank you.

Hi,
I tried what you said. When holding Volume UP and inserting cable, literally nothing happens. I don't even get a sound from Windows detecting it.
Whilst trying this several times though I did notice if I press Power the phone seems to stay on for 30-60 seconds. If I press Power and plug it in, Windows will make a sound. It will then make another sound after 30-60 seconds as if the device has been removed or turned off.

no clue then sorry can't help

Just for giggles, check your device manager to see if you have an unknown device... (you may need to install the fastboot drivers...) I've bootlooped my phone a couple of times while putzing with my phone... And can normally get back into flash mode and fast boot mode...

I did check this. There are no unknown devices. I did install the Xperia Z/fastbot/flashboot drivers from the flashtool folder. When it does make the detection sound Device Manager does 'reset' as if something has connected as well, although I can't find the device.
Most other similar issues have an LED or some type of display and generally are responsive to flashmode.

Note1 boot partition is the XZ's SBL3 (bootloader) partition. So you have effectively flashed a Note1 boot.img to your bootloader. Phone will never boot again once bootloader is hosed. Sorry about your loss

Shoey is right, your Z is toast now, sorry; the only solution here is to replace the MoBo, and that costs a pretty penny.
But why did you download stuff from the n7000 forum? Didn't everything said there sound unfamiliar and therefore suspicious enough for you
to double-check which forum you were in exactly?

I thought as much. I dun goof'd
Thanks for your help.
@chasmodo: Well I started in the N7000 thread and downloaded all the stuff and copied it to my SD card. I then realised I was in the wrong forum and switched to the relevant thread. All the stuff for the N7000 and the Z were both on my SD card, so it was just a stupid mistake really. Everything on both forums sounded a little unfamiliar. As I mentioned I was a bit cofused on the TWRP section. I should done more research before proceeding.
Do you think there is any use for the phone now? Do you know of anywhere/anyone I can donate it to for spare parts or something?

As I said, you can get it fixed by replacing the MoBo, but I don't know how much that costs in your country. Google a little, contact someone, get the info and then decide what to do.

I did have a look around and had trouble finding a main board in particular. I contacted Sony as well and they said it was quite expensive to replace.
I contacted my carrier and it appears getting a new phone is a lot cheaper than anything I've looked into so far.
Thanks for your help.

The next time you decide to flash your phone , make sure your in the correct forum. Lesson learned
