i had an Doc & Stefunnel's ROM v9.1.4, just the 3 button Combo doesn't work, so i've decided to repair it.
i didn't understand/misunderstand the RazvanG instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821698
and install Raz-Fix-SGS.zip as update.zip in CWM and reboot the phone.
The phone is dead. The phone doesnt turn on, recovery mode doesnt work, download mode too. The unbrick with 301K Jig doesnt work too. Odin doesnt see my phone, i can't flash again bootloader, cause phone is just dead.. i dont know what to do. i know that i misunderstood the instrucion, and it is my fault, but i beg you to help me...
if recovery, download, and usb jig dont work, then your phone has passed away its an awful time and requires lots of grieving...
the best you can do is send back to samsung and blame it on an official kies update.
unless you have insurance ?
but what about rooting phone, and unbrand soft? when official service back it to life, they have to flash new official rom? will they know, that i had unbrand soft and rooted phone?
am i the first person who kill SGS? or someone has the same problem?
if it wont turn on or go into any mode at all, i dont know if samsung them self will bring it to life. even if they do its in such state it wont work until a new rom is on it (which they will do) then they would never know. (i think)
can someone confirm that?
Hey mate, for some moths ago, i did a soft brick my phone, i could not get ito Daonload, recovery mod.. using 3 button combo, so i send it back to Samsung for repear, and hopeful thay fixed my phone, but thay said to me, that if i brick my phone again thay will not repar it for free. my phone was rooted but i had Stock Rom 2.2. But thay never said anything about that i had rooted the phone.
So mabye Samsung will fix it for you. if thay dont want to fix it, tray to pay som dollars and thay will mabye fix it.
Good luck mate, and sry for ur phone.

but you wrote, that you can't get into Download and Recovery using 3 button combo, my SGS can't get into Download and recovery even with 301k jig. Your phone work normally and You just can't open recovery and download mode? My is off all the time
can someone confirm that?
The answer is you have broken your phone and your warranty.
Only a service centre can deal with it .
Will they find its been misused and charge you unlikely but not improbable .
Take it in then if they say you are naughty boy and its going to cost xxx then your choice to pay or walk away .
jje
haha well said.. MR.FROG YOU HAVE BEEN A NAUGHT NAUGHTY BOY !!!!
What was the outcome? Did they charge you?
I would guess not...if they had charged him he would have been back complaining about it.
If his phone was dead as they say, likely they just flashed it immediately or swapped it for a new one. I agree that in that circumstance I would be hard pressed to think how they would know he had rooted or modded the phone.
Personally i feel the best way to handle that situation is to go to your local proved rather then Samsung and just play dumb. They are far less likely to dig deep to see what the trouble is, especially if you are upset and holding up the line. They will just flash/replace and move on...especially if you have insurance on it.
Personally I feel the best way to handle that situation is to man up and take the consequences for f*cking up your phone. Get it fixed, and pay the repair costs.
I would say that you should go and try it at a Samsung support store. If they don't want to or can't repair your phone then I'm sorry for you.
But at least try it even if you have to pay.

Hello everyone,
One day, I upgraded a ROM firmware (I don't remember which ROM exactly..) on my Captivate..
I formated everything before update (data, cache, AND system !).
During update I was making a coffee, and when I came back on the phone,
it was absolutely dead.. Only a full black screen.. Not detected on USB, just nothing.
After that, I tried everything that was possible (a lot of combo's, Odin3..)
Then, I bought a JIG, but still nothing, I tried with some different combo's (I can't remember which ones..)
Now, I would like to recover my Captivate! But.. how ?
If someone find the final good solution, I would like to donate via Paypal
Thanks, in advance!
Need more info. Which rom? Did you use 3 button fix? Have you tried adb? What about holding volume down while plugging in usb? Are you sure battery isn't just dead (dont laugh, its happened)?
If you did all that, its most likely a hard brick. There are developers here that offer JTAG service.
As I said, I don't remember the ROM. I was trying every new ROM, so, I really can't remember.. Sorry
About 3 button fix.. I don't know what it is exactly !? If it is vol down+up+Power, yes I did !
Nope, I did not try ADB.. I tried to find informations about this, but I cannot find! If you can help me about this, u'r' welcome !
Vol down does nothing..
I think my battery is still alive. Because when I plug my charger on it, it becomes a little warm after some hours, so I guess it's still alive..
I saw some JTAG infos, but I don't know what to do.. Do I need to send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA !? It's like 40$ to send a secured shipping to USA..
Thanks for trying to help me!
If a jig will not turn it back on you may need the jtag. There are threads about it.

Is that possible to buy a JTAG ? I think I can't make one..
I made some searchs on eBay but I found nothing.
Thanks for helping
EDIT : I installed ADB on my computer, now I would like to connect it to my phone, but.. Don't know how!? What combo do I need to do, for my captivate be recognized by ADB ?
Thanks.

JTAG is not something you can buy on ebay. As mrhaley said, you need to send your phone to one of the developers who offer JTAG service. They will fix it and send it back to you.
Download AIO toolbox, go to advanced and clock reboot into download mode with your phone on and it will go to download mode, no jig needed. it worked for me just now.

Thank you guys for these answers.
* The problem is that I cannot send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA,
because it's approximately 40$ fees to send it ! Then, with a return, it makes a total of 80$..
* Another problem is that I bought my captivate on eBay, and it's not under warranty..
* Maybe it remains the "ADB" solution (I never tried this), but I don't know how to connect my phone? because it stays turned off, then if I connect, I just get nothing..
Adb doesn't work unless you can get into the OS. You have a brick, jtag is your ONLY option of getting a working phone.

Ok, I understand, but .. How could i use a JTAG if I cannot send my Captivate to USA ? (too much expensive!). Thanks
It's either bricked forever or you pay for jtag. Those are your only options.

How are you at soldering? The captivate is one of the hardest phones to jtag, the solder points are smaller than the width of a dime, it would be really easy to fry the circuit board trying to jtag it yourself.

Do you think I can still sell my Captivate, for those who want to repair/fix or use parts? If I can, what kind of price? (my captivate is in perfect state, like new)
There's a user from XDA forums,Mcguyver1980. In one of his posts says he's in Belgium and can fix bricked phones. I don't know anything about this guy personally, but since you're about to scrap your phone I figured it wouldn't hurt for you to check if this guy is legit. Just make sure he understand it's a hard brick.

I bought my phone in december/january 2011.. But the seller did not say it was under warranty I received the original box .. So, do you think its under warranty ? But I guess postage is at my expense..
First of all sorry for my bad English,I'm not a native.It happened when I was flashing back from i9000 rom to stock rom (I have no idea that it will brick my phone).I can't turn on my phone all I've got is black screen nothing shown up,no phone ! computer sign or Galaxy S logo.I've tried a several method to unbrick my phone but there is no luck for me.While I was trying to figured it out,my phone heated up like when you using it for a long time.Is there still a chance to get my phone back to work.I can't send it back to at&t,I'm not in the U.S.A.
Thanks

Will JIG really do the job ? I read some treads about this and it said JIG won't work if there are no phone!computer sign or galaxy S logo appear
anyway thanks for the help
Wouldn't hurt to try and you can make one for so cheap!
So...you get absolutely nothing out of it just a black screen and it heats up when plugged in, sounds like a brick to me. I'd still give a jig a try since they are easy to make and the parts are cheap, only when you try it take the battery out reinsert it, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS, insert jig, then hold both volume buttons. If that doesn't work it's a brick. You can go directly through samsung for a warranty replacement. Never have to even have an at&t contact. depending on how you aquired the device they might replace it they might not. it might be iffy if you bought it used on ebay. Don't mention anything about a custom rom, say it happened using kies. If they don't replace it, go to mobiletechvideos.com he can jtag it for 50 u.s. Dollars plus shipping...

Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've been living on the edge, like many of us LOL, and i finally got hard bricked. No battery charge, logo, download mode. Nothing. Just a black screen.
I was using ICS stunner 1.4.26 and decided to flash Catastrophic Meltdown 9 (CM9 for friends). The problems was that my battery died when it was installing the kernel, or the boot, i dont know.
So, i have been reading a lot those days but nothing seems to work. I have ordered a Jig but i think is not going to work. Yesterday i used windows, and something was detected when i plugged in the usb, but Odin not.Today it does not work, and windows doesnt play any sound. Any idea? A Jag?
I should say this is the best mobile phone i have ever touched. I would be eternal grateful with all of you if we could fix this mess. I was aware that there were risks. Im aware now maybe i cant fixit and im not gonna blame anyone because it was my responsability, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, nothing worked (tried the JIG). I had to send it in for repair, but they didn't see that it was my fault (still had warranty).

From my experience the only way u can get ur phone back in service is go to ssc and make some reasonable reason why ur phone is dead, so u can still claim for warranty and I am sure they will replace ur engine/mobo like my friends did a month ago.

It has nothing to do with your battery dying and everything with trying to flash CM9 directly from super-dangerous LP5 or LP6 leak ICS kernel.
No jig or JTag will revive your phone now.
However, if your Note refuses to go into download or recovery mode, you are in luck - if you have a warranty, that is. Just take your phone to the service center and tell them that it died when updating via Kies. There is no way for them to tell what had really happened and they will have to replace your motherboard free of charge.
Sadly, jig didnt solve the problem. Battery isnt hot when plugged in, is my motherboard fried by flashing the note?
Could a jtag solve the problem?
Try to take it back in for warranty before attempting a JTAG and voiding the warranty (that they can tell)

I got the same problem few days back..I went to service center and said that i got an ota update and after downloading had completed,it started rebooting and there i got some errors and finally my phone is dead
They were unable to find the exact reason why it got bricked as it was unable to enter download or recovery mode
So they replaced the motherboard under warrenty
Better this it once
All the best :good:
I dont think that warranty thing is gonna work, because i have lost some inside cover screws... yeah, thats a long story trying to fix it. If i borrow a motherboard... could i recover my data? because thats all i want at the moment. Or, is there any website where i can buy it? Otherwise, im going to try it with the warranty...

This is going to be a long story.
Had my note with me for about 3 years now.. Was waiting for the warranty to expire before I rooted it but I just never got to it.. So I was on Stock ROM and kernel all this time.
So last Friday (3 days back) was its doomsday.. had just replied to a text message, locked the phone and that was the last time I saw it working :crying:
It had switched off and when I tried to switch it back on it was stuck in bootloop, on the 'samsung galaxy note n7000' screen to be precise.. did some googling, came to xda forums, got that I need to get me recovery.. Vol Up + Home + Power.. nothing.. it just restarted and bought me to the boot note n7000 screen.. searched this now on xda,. got that I need to check if I have the download mode.. Vol Down + Home + Power and voila its alive, I had the download option.
Now from various threads I got that the next step would be install a kernel with recovery option it and I felt most recommended were Phil'z kernels.. So that is what I did. I downloaded Odin v3.09 and (not able to post URLs since a new user) Philz kernel (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2.tar) but it always got stuck at zimage.. tried 3 diff cables and 4 diff usb ports.. turned out the culprit was Odin version.. downloaded v 1.30 and it worked.. I was able to flash it to Philz kernel with a pass in Odin.. Tried to see if I could get the recovery option now but nada.. still stuck at the boot logo screen. Tried other Philz kernels for n7000 to see if they would do the trick.. I tried (philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000.tar.md5) and (philz_touch_6.12.8-n7000.tar.md5) but both got stuck at zimage so I left it at the cwm6 one.
Now read other threads and I got that the way to go back to stock kernel and flash the stock rom as well.. so downloaded the stock indian JB Rom (N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_N7000DDLS6_HOME.tar.md5) from sammobile's firmware and this stock kernel (DDLRI N7000), can't figure out which thread I downloaded this from though. So I flashed the kernel first and it was a pass and the odin mode screen showed, custom bin count as 1 and current binary as samsung official. Next I tried to flash the stock rom but Odin got stuck at 'factoryfs.img'. Then dunno why I thought that stock kernel is bad and decided to go to back to Philz kernel.. the one that I was able to flash successfully. I did it via Odin and it was a pass, the phone restarted and it hasn't switched on since. I mean I don't have even the download mode now.
So in short, no recovery mode, no download mode, and no boot loop screen as well.. I have tried to see if its in deep freeze or not, I mean whether the screen is not displaying anything and still be able to go to download mode to see if ODIN is able to detect it but it ain't working. Also if I try to charge it, nothings displayed on the screen but it does get warm
Do I have any hope in reviving it on my own? I have tried to contact fellow xda mates here in gurgaon to see if they can lend me their usb jig yet to see their response.. Is it worth it to spend money to get one of my own? Any idea what the fault might me and if all's lost how much would samsung charge me on fixing it.
Samsung would definitely charge too much, but i dont see anything wrong that you might have done to end up in this situation. I would suggest you to use a fully charged battery first to see if you can access download or recovery mode and if you dont have spare battery try to use external charger to charge only battery outside of phone, insert in phone and try the download mode or the recovery mode. USB jig shouldn't be too expensive if you want to try that after charging the battery and you can also make USB jig yourself if you understand those things.
Cheers!!!
Well I am trying to figure out where to buy the resistors to buy from.. Dad has a soldering kit so should be able to use that.. Yes I am afraid Samsung will charge me a bomb for this.. and on top of it I had bought a new battery just a day before.. Now I don't have an external charger to charge the battery separately.. Doesn't the device heating up mean that its charging?

Okay, will get one.. So you think there's still hope for my poor phone
Can't figure out why its lost its download screen.
Had gone on a work related trip hence the gap.. Got an external charger but didn't help.. same result..
Too much of a hassle to get the resistors where i live.. Have ordered one for myself now.. and that I believe is going to be my last hope or else I am going to have a very expensive paperweight.
Do you think it would be worth to get it checked by Samsung.. I hope they do give at least an estimate of the repair cost.
From what I have read in the forums here Samsung would charge around 260 $ on a new motherboard which would cost around 260$ and with the same amount I can buy a new Moto G.. so that's that.. waiting for the jig and then will make a call on what to do..
Please let me know if there is something else I can do to salvage this phone. Thanks

That's nice.. its a always a worry that you might get ripped off there Let me visit the service center today and see what they come back with.. If all fails will PM you for your friends details and take it to him.
They are charging me 8k - 9k.. :crying:
The mobo has failed and needs replacement. Seems like its time to say to bbye to my good old note.. and to top it, I think Note has spoiled me as well.. I had a friends moto g to try its look and feel.. it seemed so puny compared to my note and didn't like it the way it was don't understand why didn't they give an expandable memory slot as well..
Looks like am going to shell out more than 20k for my new phone now Hawk do you mind PM'ing me the contact details of the guy you know in Gaffar market.. Have to go to CP today so might as well give it a shot there.
So i have a S3 mini VE, and i was flashing a stock firmware on my phone suddenly the USB cable disconnected during the process (ODIN) now when i try to turn on the phone, it doesn't come on at all. the only way to get the phone on is to charge it (AC). but it goes into loop every 5 seconds. So when i take the battery outta the phone and then plug the charger in. It shows this message (See below) but won't go into loop. It's seriously weird. The button combo are fully dead.
So basically i can't get into the phone i tried every method, even tried USB JIG from eBay. i seriously don't know what's going on with the phone, i need help fixing this issue.
has this happened to anyone else?
Button combo (DEAD)
Flashing with ODIN (DEAD)
Download Mode (DEAD)
Recovery Mode (DEAD)
Connecting to PC (DEAD)
So i've done all this, so please don't tell me to do these again i've done em
Thanks!
Same problem
Man! How I understand you!
Recently I came up with a similar problem only with my Huawai Ascend mate 7. Even though I am able to connect the device in FASTBOOT mode and flash the recovery It just won't boot into it because there probably some mess up have happened to the device's partitions So in particular it is Hard bricked.
Reading a bit here about a hard bricking I think our best bet is to send the device to an Authorized service center. And what they can do is basically two things, first is use some so called "Hardware tool" to force the ROM re-flash. This is an ideal solution for us and ( as the Warranty is not applicable to our phones anymore) in this case we will pay less money, but we still have to . The other solution might be to replace the "Chip" or entire "Motherboard" and which might cost an arm and a leg. I am not sure it worth it then, maybe buying a new phone better and just sell this one for spares.
Anyway I am waiting for solution for me for some more time and then I will contact some authorized Huawei Service here in my City.
Haha better of just selling our device, i know for a fact i won't be able to fix it coz i tried everything i could, even USB JIG. Also tge repair service i seen will cost me around $30 which my phone is worth around that price. So im just gonna sell it off or i might just wait for couple of days to find a solution...
