need help xda...
I was flashing to stock 2.2 using odin one click.
My phone will NOT
turn on
boot to recovery
or boot to download screen.
I have currently sent it to samsung to get it fixed, and it is under warranty.
But i believe they will return it without a repair because ive heard this voids the warranty.
Help? any suggestions
well I guess you just wait and see...

You should (have told?)tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and the power went out, crashing your desktop PC. This will not void your warranty.
yeah.. i did i told them i was doing an ota update and the power went out. hopefully it works out.
you cannot brick a galaxy s phone..... you should have done some research on this forum... i just now got thru making a jig and forced my phone into download mode , ou could have easily done the same.... i also had a failed flash with odin on my captivate
I think, Samsung will repair it or will give you a replacement (refurbished)...if not than..
If it is from ATT then tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and followed instructions on the ATT website...but some how it was dead in between....as you have warranty on it for one year
They will replace (will give u refurb phone) it..I got two replacements lol
Refurb phone are better then dead paper weight...so try your luck

you are wrong, it can be bricked. I was doing Odin and my battery went dead (a very stupid mistake done by me)..There is no hope if the phone is completely not responsive....not even Jig will work...
well, i wanted to see if samsung would fix it first, and if they do for free its something i wont have to worry about...
I am posting here as a way to ensure that in the off chance that they dont fix the phone that i have a back up plan...
plan c is to get the nexus one. lol
Dear Friends,
Hi im from Philippines. Theres a lot of Samsung Service Center here. I have Galaxy Note 4months old i already Bricked it stucks in factoryfs in Odin. I brought it to Service Center. They asked me what happen im so stupid i answer its stuck in factoryfs and i used odin. They told me your warranty is void because odin. Then they told me to solve we need to change your Motherboard. They gonna charge me for that.
I told them im going pull out my note. Im planning to brought it to other Service Center all of service centers here have different owners.
This is my question Guys...
1. If im going back to other service center then if they ask me what happen im going to tell them i don't know i just press restore factory settings then its stuck. Is this will work guys?
2. I already root it with 2 custom binaries. And my note is battery drained already. If they change my MotherBoard will they going to see the 2custom binaries? If they saw it im dead!
I cant open my note because battery drained already and it wont charge its just keeps on blinking pc and gadget saying firmware upgrade encountered issue. Please select recovery mode in kies.
Please help guys... please answer my question! My note is just 4 months old and it has warranty...
Thanks in advanced...

Did they charge you for the motherboard
No... i have my warranty. It will expire in February 2013. Just don't tell them the magic word ODIN.
Just tell them i just press Restore Factory Setting then its stuck already...

I'm having the same problem. It might have something to do with the eMMC bug. How long did they say you will wait till you get your note back?
i unlocked bootloader and tried to install custom rom unsucsefully so i repaired my phone with pcc, then i did same mistake for a second time, after i repaired with pcc second time i tryed to unlock bootloader for third time with x8toolbox. After phone reboted noting is working he doesnt even charge, so what is hapening with my phone, and what i did? How to fix it ???
thanks
Seems like It's a hard brick.
U can't repair it by yourself.
Find a guy who have J-tag box and can use or send it to a phone repair shop.
Good luck

Get back to stock 2.1 and try to charge if it does then its ok....but if it dont then its a hard brick i think its a hardware failure......

:crying:i bricked my Samsung Galaxy ace plus.Please help.
Hey Guys!!!
I have bricked my Samsung Galaxy ace plus (GT7500). I was flashing this custom Atomic ROM.
First I did it successfully. The interface came where it demanded for my google account then i put in the information of my google account. The screen went blank.
Then i restarted it.but it got stuck into samsung boot logo. I even can't go through my download mode or clockwordmod.
so, was not able to use ODIN.
First ODIN Failed in flashing my ROM. then i got pissed off and switched off my mobile.
After sometime when i tried to start it. it went dead. it is even not starting. It is not even getting charged.
I know it is now bricked. Please tell me how to unbrick it.
Please help me.....

Try this, I know it's for Galaxy Ace, but maybe:

Sorry, any of us can help you in this. I guess you can still take your mobile to warranty, since it didn't passed a year yet.
Press the Thamks button if helped.
I did this several times. but didn't got any success.
How about using jig?? if i didnt get success will jig do any harm to my mobile.
or may be i should go to the samsung center and get it done by them.
Anyways thanks for the prompt reply.

if you don't know exactyl how to do use jig, I wouldn't do it, since you may loose your warranty again. I sent my bricked Galaxy Ace that didn't boot to Samsung, and they didn't notice I installed a custom rom in it, so maybe you should try.
I've found a thread like yours, maybe the solutions there will help you

Well i gave it to the samsung service center. They haven't repaired yet. but they told me that we are completely changing the motherboard which was totally damaged.
Can they find out now that i have rooted my ace plus, after changing the motherboard?? Hope they wont find it......
I am a bit worried about this.

Naa... They don't!!! Once the phone went off(bricked) no one would be able to find what happened before. But even if they enquire about it, behave as if U R a NOOB to all this. This's all what U need 2 do!!
Be cool & have patience!!
EDIT: Also, motherboard is not damaged in most(~all) cases. It can easily be cured by Riff Jtag box.

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it
Controversies,controversies everywhere :what:

i know that could be the way to back my phone to life, but just wondering, what the servicing guys would be going to do, which i cannot do.
They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

actually i know they will be going to use that, but they says they will be replacing the motherboard and according to that they are charging, but i know they will not be going to replace motherboard, is there any way i can check whether they have replaced the motherboard or not, or is there any other way to make it work without going to the service center.

I don't think being in-warranty would have made any difference, it would have been void anyway

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

is there any other way to recover my phone other than JTag, its really costing me a lot, can anyone help me with any other possible solutions, my warranty period has been expired. I really need my phone get back to life, missing my ace a lot. Can anyone please help me with this.
