1) yes, just near the small usb/charging connector. Pressing and hold the power button approx. 5 seconds is another method.
2) left thumb pressing the upper left of the battery cover, right thumb pressing the bottom right, and then both thumbs push/slide it up with force (read the manual for details)
3) hahahaha

LOL As my father always told me...RTFM (Read the F&!%$#@ Manual)
Did the device come with the battery already installed?
thank you, lazyweb
the dude at AT&T installed it and i was preoccupied with something else (probably my old Wizard).

What?
There is no solution to a bricked phone. It makes an expensive desk decoration though.

Not really sure where to start on this one....
1) Wrong forum, should be in the Q&A section because this is the developers forum.
2) Not really sure what you mean by the last line.
3) As far as I know, there is no way to bring back a truly bricked G1, although there are always tons of people who think they are bricked when they aren't.

well there is everything I try
First thing's first. Can you boot into recovery? If you don't know what that means it's when you hold the HOME+POWER buttons while the phone is off. If you can get to a screen with an exclamation mark inside a triangle I think you'll be fine.

Hate to tell you but about all you can do with it is use it for parts.
MOD EDIT
Thread moved to Q&A
Once a device is bricked it is unrecoverable.
Hold the HOME+POWER buttons. Can you get to a screen with an exclamation mark inside a triangle?

It was worth asking. I've seen loads of people saying "ZOMFGXZORS I can't get passed the G1 screen" and then the next post "Alt-w and alt-s the rom and mah G1 is unbricked!!". So yeah, If you cant get in to recovery or bootloader you're done for, enjoy your paperweight.
Hi there,
I was installing the stock rom yesterday and the process failed when it was almost done at odin and now my SGS is death. I can't turn on downloading mode and the screen is dead. I can't see any logo, vib nor sound. Odin can't find it neither. It is so dead...
Did all I could (after a lot of reading!!) without success. Could anyone gimme a hint?
Galaxy GT-I9000B
I9000BGSMH
Dead as hell!
It was running with Cyanogen... let me know if I can provide more info.
Was trying this tuto and almost complete the quests when black screen of the death got me.

thanks in advance
Did you follow and use the Files in the download as it shows you its for a SCH-I500 Fascinate phone
Which section did you follow no.4?
use a JIG
1 300k resistor 1/4 watt
1 1k resistor 1/4 watt
a mini-USB Type B,
series resistance welded edges and mini usb connector on pins 4 and 5.
jig to connect the phone and presto, enters download mode and you can flash the stock rom.
sorry for my eng

Yeah! I just realized it when it was too late... too much information. easy to get lost.
Yes I went thru section 4.
Now I just tried the USB Jig.. got none response. It might be serious...
Just did it.. nothing happens.
also tried Remove battery, SIM and SD card, Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time...

Oh wow! I don't think I can do it
I disassembled the SGS but the resistors are way too small. Incredible tiny little nothing!! lol
I may send the phone for professional assistance. I know someone that can make it for 50 bucks. I will give it a try.
Thanks everyone for the time and help. :good:
I will let you guys know what happened after get the phone back.

IT IS ALIVE! Jtag RiFFBox for the win!
The guy fixed my SGS with Jtag RIFFBox and he was able to recover the correct firmware for 50 bucks here in Brazil.
Thank you a lot EwOkie for all your attention and help. I will be more careful reading posts but I really can't complain cause I've learned a lot messing around with my SGS for 50 bucks (US). If it was the price that's not bad
Problem is solved! No panic when you can't boot your phone or even turn it on. There's always a helping hand here and Jtag Riffbox for the worse cases. :good::laugh::victory:
Hello everybody. You're my last hope!
Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.
I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.
Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.
After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?

When I plug my USB cable into the device, LITERALLY nothing happens. No sound, no vibration, nothing on the screen nothing. My computer doesn't know I've plugged anything in, not even on Device Manager.
Forget about connecting to the PC, can you enter download mode (Vol down, home and power)?

The link you listed is very reliable JTAG service and costs $50 US. I would use DHL to ship it.
If thats not an option, you can buy a replacement mainboard. I would use www.tvc-mall.com in Hong Kong.
OK...

Sorry for not reading more carefully, and for not realising the difference between recovery and download mode.
I've tried vol down and I'm still getting nothing. I tried it with my USB cable plugged into my PC, and once I got a notification that it tried and failed to find a device driver for the "Unknown device".
Yes and now u download the driver for it.

Firstly, my PC only saw the device ONCE. I haven't been able to get it to happen again. Secondly, even if I do download a "Samsung N7000 driver" or whatnot, it's no good if the PC can't see that I've plugged in an N7000. "Unknown device"???
Reports of my stupidity have been greatly exaggerated.
Some maturity please
Goodness you guys are in a real snark aren't you?
Look, the whole point of this forum is that I don't know something that you do. I ask the question, and anybody who's feeling helpful today tells me what I need to know.
But when somebody, as in my case, clearly isn't aware of, say, a separate download mode that is accessed by pressing the vol down key, all they get is sarcasm and snobbery. The person asking for help gets treated like an idiot, and this gets "thanked" for "putting the noob in his place". Everybody's so busy giving themselves an ego massage they forget to come up with any actual solutions.
I didn't come here for that.

Who started the sarcasm? The person who wanted help switched to arrogancy when a really helping member showed the correct way.
And: you install custom roms on your device without even trying to read and learn as a necessary preparation. But demanding help without listening.
As you said: we didn't come here for that too.
You might reconsider and start reading the standard tutorials here how to root etc. Most members did this. The sort of "Noob" and "so I do not need to read myself" are luckily rare.
OK calling a truce here

I'm sorry if that came across as arrogant. Not being aware of a vol down download mode, I thought it was the other person who hadn't bothered to read up, and that was my way of keeping it light instead of flaming the person. Turned out the person who hadn't read carefully enough was me, and I apologised for it, if you remember.
Actually, I have read the standard tutorials about how to root and followed the instructions very closely. I also am not the kind of person who says "I do not need to read myself", I merely misread, as I said about ten times already. I simply never needed the download mode while rooting my phone, and missed the distinction between download mode and recovery mode. Strange, I know, but there it is.
I am not demanding help without listening. What I am demanding is a little patience and politeness. Can you say that you have added anything to the conversation except sarcasm and put-downs?
my last addon to this not even funny thread:
if you read so many tutorials and following them so closely but missed download mode: maybe better stop flashing.

I am very thankful of the assistance given, and I have apologised whenever I have been at fault. But ThaiDai basically called me an idiot (hence the double quotes), and all I am saying is that snide insults are never, ever justified. Or are you saying they are, and I have no right to object?
Sorry for poisoning this thread...
You know what, I've had enough of this argument. More fool me for trying to talk down noob haters when all I wanted was a solution to my problem.
Thank you to Spydertracks for being so patient with me to start with, and sorry for not reading more carefully. Thank you to rangercaptain for the recommendation. If anybody else has anything to add I'd be very grateful.
I am a total newby when it comes to messing with this kind of stuff so please hang in there if I sound like I do not know what I am talking about....I dont.
I have a verizon samsung tab i800 and was in download mode yesterday (using odin3) when it the usb cord came unplugged.
I was following a tut on you tub and everything was going well til my dog unplugged the usb cord and now the thing acts as it was dead. I cant get it to turn on at all.
Is it a hopeless cause? Any way to resurrect it?
Thank for the input.
