im pretty confuse of these two terms here, semi and hard bricks. for what i know semi brick is when you see the phone--->pc thingy on your phone after a flash failure. and can be resolve by a JIG or tricks to get into download mode.
but what about HARD BRICKS?? can they be resolve with a JIG or tricks? what are the symptoms of hard brick phones? is there anyone from the forum that could not enter download mode with the use of JIG or tricks?
pls answer the following. it will help me with my phone before flashing.
Hard brick is just like soft brick, but you cant go download or recovery menu, and you have to send it to shop where you bought it.

You cant use JIG if your phone is hard bricked.
And, well your phone bricks if you flash wrong file with odin (sometimes) or wrong .zip
IN XDA/SGS 1 bricked means phone wont boot may be described as soft brick as its probably recoverable . Only one culprit in a soft bricked phone the user has not bothered to read/follow instructions .
Recovery is usually via download mode /jig and flash a stock rom .
Hardbricked dead never ever recover nothing the user can do combination of above or blown hardware .

I guess the guy recently on the Q&A forum had who did a fatal mistake on flashing (see attachment).
Semi bricks seem to happen far more often but from what I read here it doesn't really matter much on the SGS. I'm way no expert but it sounds you gotta mess up big time to hard brick it or be extremely unlucky when flashing boot loaders or something (correct me if I'm wrong).
Hard bricked phones have to be sent in for repair afaik. There are also some guys trying to figure out a different kind of cable to get into some more advanced service mode or so for hard bricks (?).
Anyways, what to do when you semi brick? Usually go to download or recovery mode and flash again.
My very first flash was about enabling these modes (my SGS came without them) so I had neither mode and semi bricked (better use direct USB). Luckily, thanks to all the info on XDA I knew I'd be screwed if things go wrong so I bought myself a JIG dongle off Ebay prior and thus could plug it in, get into download mode and re-flash, all fixed.

Do these products work for the SGM? I saw somebody mentioning a jig to recover bricked phone somewhere here (related to SGM), but my request for clarification was not answered. Hence, creating this thread.
What software is required to use them?
And anybody got heimdall to work?
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE COMBINATION, insert the battery, and keep the buttons pressed untill you get the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid firmware through Odin (Preferebly, have Odin prepared before doing this trick)
i saw many people posting this trick n it worked for galaxy series n sgm too..if it is hard bricked then also..i dont think this device jig is required to unbrick,,,.
u r asking of software it is ODIN v4.38 download it by searching on google

Thanks for this info. By "black screen", I hope you mean that the phone had neither download mode, nor battery charging sign??
Which jig did you use?
Can you describe the method or provide links?
In my case By "black screen", I mean that once i nstalled ROM MANAGER my phone does not start and shows only black screen and the phone had neither download mode, nor battery charging sign, in this case jig does not help.

I managed to return my phone to my provider cervice , in this case it is the only solution for our phone. There told me that they changed the motherboard to fix it.
yeah it works depending on how your phone is bricked, mines really really hard bricked, no download mode, no charging ****, and odin nor doesnt recognize it, the only option is to surrender it to the carrier u bought it from
Hmm, many had problems with ROM Manager as I could see, and I guess its the reason for bricking. I'm never gonna use it anyways !!
Btw, I'm concerned about how the Service Center unbricks our device ?
We can't do that manually ?
I understand if its a hardware bricked stage, then no other option rather than handing the device to them.

search google for for jtag. You need a jtag jig, which connects directly to the mother board (and not the usb jig). There is one available, but is real expensive, afaik.
thank you very much
confirmed, my usb jig , which works with i9000 doesn't work with my wife's SGM...
Yes it works. I Tested it myself.
But only on soft bricks not on hard bricks.
I can give you a video if you want just pm me. ^_^
With the SGM, you do not need a jig if it is only a soft brick. As long as you can enter download mode, ODIN works.

Actually, there might still be hope, USB Jig works, you can make one by stripping the USB cord's end and connect 3 100k ohms resistors on two points, I can post photos if you want.
If your bootloader is already damaged by a bad flash, just hope your factory download mode's partition isn't also damage. If not, then the jig will work.
Also if anybody would like, here's my thread on how to flash stock ROMs 100% safe.

Can anyone say when galaxy tab p1000 gets hard bricked? Everytime mine gets bricked, its a soft brick
If you try to flash, say a rom from another device and the rom contains a boot loader, you will hard brick it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA
If I heard right, if 2 files aren't flashed properly in Odin or Heimdall (boot and something else?), you can hard brick that way too.
The 2 files are the first things flashed in Odin if I recall correctly
About the only way to hard brick your Tab is by damaging the Primary boot loader (boot.bin) and the Secondary boot loader (sbl.bin). If these are damaged, you can't get to download or recovery mode anymore, and need extra hardware to be able to flash a ROM again. You can do this for instance by yanking out the cable during a flash, but even then you would have to be unlucky, because these files are small, and will be flashed in seconds. Flashing a ROM with boot loaders for the wrong Tab could do it too I bet.
BTW, it sounds like you are trying to hard brick it, and are frustrated you're not succeeding. Surely I'm wrong about that.

There is no such thing as a "soft brick", Thats is something n00bs just say when they screwed something up and cant boot into rom, your device is either bricked or it isnt. Its "bricked" when you cant get into download mode/recovery etc and only solution is hardware recovery like JTAG.
What you are referring to as "soft brick" is simply you not installing an OS correctly. Go and read/learn and then you will have no more "soft bricks"

From my readings, "Soft brick" is a very common term that refers to a screen that shows a handset connecting to a computer. A form of DL mode that doesn't show the expected Andy construction sign. This is the only thing that will ever show on the screen until you successfully flash it.

No, your device is either "bricked" or its not, its as simple as that. If you havent "bricked" it you simply go into download or recovery mode and reflash a rom, simple.
If you need extra hardware to recover your device like JTAG or you need to replace mobo, That is considered a "brick".
Thanks. At last hard bricked my device after deleting the *.bin files from the firmware before flashing.
Well download mode cannot be opened. Device does not light up.

May be the correct term is boot-loop or boot failure?
That's one way of looking at it, but it's actually not a bad idea to differentiate between two states of brickedness, and give them different names.
One state, familiar to many who flash their Tabs (which some may not even call a bricked state), is the result of a bad flash: the boot loader is intact, and you can get to download mode. However, if you just try to boot it, it will hang or get into a boot loop. This way it's as useful as a brick if you don't fix it, and many people won't know how to fix it. But more importantly, you'll need software to fix it (special hardware isn't necessary). So I like to think of this as a "soft brick".
In the other state there's something wrong with the boot loaders, and the Tab will not go into recovery mode. And yes, you've guessed it, you'll need special hardware to fix such a Tab, because the software inside a Tab needed to flash a ROM is itself damaged and therefore can't be used to flash a working ROM. It's definitely slightly less useful than a brick if you don't fix it, and even fewer people will have the resources to fix it, but it still can be fixed if you have those. Because it needs hardware I like to think of this state as a "hard brick".
You know it makes sense!

I'd say you are crazy, but the fact is your post just made me calm when I experienced a boot-loop. Thanks man.
all you have to do is delete the *.bin files (boot.bin & sbl.bin) from the .tar archive before flashing to get a hard brick
Huh?
Didn't someone said removing those files us removing boot loader.
And that us recommended when you get a rom you are not sure of.
Now I am confused.

So I think I bricked my Note by misunderstanding the lpy bug (tried to flash directly to cm9, didn't realise that was the wrong way). I don't seem to even be able to get into the bootloader though, is that a normal symptom of this emmc bug brick? Just want to make sure it really is bricked before trying to return it to Samsung. Basically holding vol down+home+power does nothing. Plugging it in to charge doesn't show the charging icon etc. Looks pretty bricked to me but perhaps I'm missing something?
Can you get into recoverymode vol-up+home+power?
nope

Yes I must have did that. I9070 JB on I9070P. I just ordered a jig online. I hope that sets my device into download mode.
I was worried, one of the mobiletechvideos on youtube showed sometimes a hard brick cant be fixed with a JIG. They showed a complex way (using some cables, JTAG... some techy stuff) to fix it. That was the reason for my post.
Thanks for your prompt reply. I will update this post after my experiment.
Flashing I9070 firmware on P version could not completely brick it. I once flashed I9100 firmware on my friends I9100G and i got it back by putting it into download mode and flashing G firmware with odin. I think the screen wasnt even turned on, try to put it into download mode and if it vibrates and odin sees it, you can restore it.
Unfortunately. Even with Usb jig, my phone is not turning. Now I doubt if it has anything to do with battery. I am not sure if myphone's batttry is charging when I put it to charger

Sorry but when you can´t get into recovery mode via Jig or keys you are still in big trouble...
there is just one opportunity for you...when you are able to flash a new bootloader via riffbox and on your pc (telnet) you can bring your phone back to life...this is a heavy method,but also a possibility!
:good:
Edit: I forget to say one thing regarding the Jig, before buying or building one!
The Jig is just the same way how the key combination keys on your device. It´s only because of another voltage on your accumulator,which leads to enter the recovery mode. (CWM/TWRP/STOCK)!

Yes. This video purports to show it working on a completely hard-bricked device.
But the XDA thread on USB jigs (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402286) suggests it only works on softbricks:
"If you soft brick your phone, you can force into download mode using USB jig and reflash new kernel or ROM. As far as i concern, there are few ways to force into download mode, however this is the most simple way to get into it. If USB jig doesn't work, i don't think other method will work either.
