Hello Everyone,

thx very much!
would you mind sharing how u were able to fix it? i'm on the same screen.
For all you guys ... You need to enter download mode using 3 button combo and then flash a full package with odin .

Hey guys,
Did I brick my phone or is there a way to fix this? I'm stuck on a screen with a small exclamation point between a phone and a computer. (It's not the download screen).
Can't get into DL mode with the three button method it seems.

Hey guys
Sorry a little off-the-model topic - Spica. But serious help needed here!
The computer had a blue screen mid-flash (god bless MS) and now the phone is nothing but a small orange icon which has a computer and a mobile connected by a yellow exclamation mark icon.
Is it like properly bricked?
What can I do?
I was reading this thread. Can I use the tools given here on a Spica? - Can I use this on the Spica? If at all, how? I can't even get into download mode!
HELP PLEASE! WAITING FOR SOME HELP!
Thank you
This is for AT&T Captivates only, sorry.
Oh OK. Thanks for the reply.

Hi guys!
You are the only one that could help me....
A friend of mine has a G Note N7000 (white) and he wants to selll it...but....
He said that is bricked (not starting) after he tried to downgrade it from ICS to Android 2 Gingerbread....
is this gone for ever? it can be unbricked?
thank you!
please help me....i want this phone.....
Well there is alot of info about bricked notes so I advice you to do some xda searching as there are several ways to revive a bricked note. Use the search function and you'll find what you need. I would advice you to check Dr.Ketan's signature for some helpfull links. Ask your friend if he did a FULL WIPE when reverting from ICS to GB,that could be the 'source' of the brick.
So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
my friend told me that when he tried to downgrade it, the bootloader was broken....

well it depends... if he downgraded to GB and then wiped... it should be ok.. if on ICS and was on a safe kernel and wiped .. should be ok...
u need to get more info from him as to what exactly is the problem...
does the phone switch on...
is the download mode on the phone accessible
is the pc recognizing the phone when connected thru odin
he said that the phone is not switching on after full wipe....
ok the phone doesnot on...
but does it have access to download mode ? it is different from normally switching on (vol dwm+pwr+home)
latest news....
i took my Note to a service and they said that the phone is connecting to JTAG software, all is good, but cannot write (or something)....
what i wrong?

i want the phone from him and borrowed to do some research if it can be done....
So i've had a CM9 Beta 1 build on my phone, it was running like a charm past week, so while surfing around internet i've found a flashable zip that makes your status bar look like Jellybean (Specified it works with CM9 Beta 1!) and i've got stuck in recovery bootloop like the last time.
I've tried various way's, one of those was to reflash the ROM or flash a stock ROM from Odin, and it keeped getting stuck on stage VerifyPlatform...
So i've found a thread that fixes all of this mess with a .bat file for computer, and after using it my phone actually died.
I can't turn it on, it's all black..
I think i'm seriously lost...
I'm hoping for exact help that could fix it, not an maybe, i seriously need help! ;(

So far i did not pulled out battery for 15 minutes, so i'm not sure if this is normal, but the download mode combination does not work. :/
See HERE,i think it would help you.
Lol.. I accidentally hit the thanks button... maybe u can throw one back...
So I was just gonna reply that he can't get into download mode so this is useless my friend..
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS

U don't even get that phone to pc disrupted like connection picture when u try to boot?
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
i9000 use hummingbird chip .. can use usb jig or if detect as sp5c110, can use unbrickable mod software to revive it (if not detect then have to do hw mod)
i9001 use different chip ie msm8255t .. try the button combination or usb jig to get into download mode. If it detect as qusb_load something then there might still have chance. If still nothing I'm afraid only jtag/riffbox can help.
I once bricked a Galaxy W i8150 (msm8255t) because of wrong bootloader flashed. Usb jig don't work. Had to use riffbox to revive it.
Yeah if jig doesn't work then u gotta replace the jtag
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS
Hello, it's been a while. Thanks for all the feedback people.
I'm not trying to bump or anything, just saying that i've brought the phone to my carrier and played a little dumb game, lied and got it to be fixed. I hope to get good news soon.

Lols i almost got the same issue with my I9001. I would have blamed KIES...
OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!
Try connect phone to charger and we will see.
thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:
You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?
1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it
If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

i know that isn't the best thing i've ever said but you're sure that the battery isn't dead ?? it may happens but anyway it's weird ... you could meassure/verify it somehow
AW: [Q]How to unbrick?
Take battery out, wait 30 minutes Start Odin in your pc plug in the USB cable To the phone, press and hold the button Combo for download mode and take in the battery
sometimes this works, our phone is very hard To brick
i verified my battery with a multimeter and it's giving me Voltage.
unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.
thank you guys again.
edit:it hasn't been hit since I flashed my Homebrew crappy ROM.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.
Hi everybody!
I've got a little issue with my phone Samsnung S3(gt-i9305), I post a thread here because I don't know what else to do.
The problem is that the phone is freezed on the samsung logo which "flash", as soon as I put on the battery.
- I hold the "power" button for a long while, nothing happens
-I try to launch RecoveryMode(up+home+power), nothing happens
-I try differents battery, nothing happens
My only hope:
I can launch the "download" mode(down+home+power), but if I let the battery in, it return to the flashing logo.
So I have to remove the battery(with the USB on my PC of course) and it work!!
So I'm in download mode, without battery.
But:
- I install my latest stock ROM, about 10 times, nothing happens (Firmware : I9305XXUEMKC_I9305XEFEMK1_XEF (4.3))
- I try to do the previous step with "nand erase all" and "T-flash", nothing happens
... WTF!
Is someone's got any idea of what's going on, and how can I do to save my phone?
I'm still searchiong on the forum, but any help will be so deeeeply appreciated
Thank very much for reading and helping
I'm scratching my head very strong, and I think it may be a power supply problem, maybe the power switch on and off so the phone cannot boot, and that's why it's work when I remove the battery.
Is anybody knows that kind of problem? Do you think I can open my phone and fix the problem?
Thanks
Did u flash any file before this happened? And ur first post. Firstly, the gt-i9305 is NOT the s4. And this is the gt-i9300 forum. Anything u flash here will just lead to ur phone being hard bricked.

Hi, yes I know it's the S3, it was just a mistake sorry, I fixed it.
My phone was rootet and flashed with the last official stock rom samsung I9305XXUEMKC_I9305XEFEMK1_XEF (4.3).
Until now it worked very well!
I begin to prepare myself that my phone is definitly dead :'( but 've got a full copy of my internal Sd on my computer. I would like to get back my contacts, is anybody knows how to open that kind of file: contacts2.db-wal ?
I tried with SQlite bug it didn't work.
And Jumaqidi, I just saw that I missed the line of 9305 Q&A (was just above 9300), very sorry for that, what can I do, must I post another thread in the right section, or I wait until an admin move my thread?
Thanks
