[Q] soft bricked ! maybe...

Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html

If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360

thankyou guys but i can't use jig since i can't buy it nor am i capable of making one.
Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

I fear your Note is done for, if your PC Odin session got interrupted.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB

I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.

i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

Ok now try to flash abyss kernel with red pill first lets see if it revives the phone.Yeah you are right pit file is required when you tick repartition and auto reboot and f.reset must be ticked all time.

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!

dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.

i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!

[Q] Help on a brickd phone

Hey guys . I accidentally used Rom Manager on my Galaxy Ace and since Rom Manager is incompatible with Ace , it will brick your phone. So if you are reading this and didn't know , then now you know. Anyway , so I was an idiot yeah , but now I want to solve it . 1) I tried Odin , it kept being stuck at setup connection. I have Kies closed . 2)I can't boot at ALL . No Recovery mode no DOwnloading mode no nothing. 3)I don't want to go to the repair shop. 4)If there is really a way I can unbrick my phone without paying money , please share it with me I really need this help and would appreciate it Thank you

Please reply asap , I am really desperate for my items to be back but since I am rooted , I usd Gemini App Manager to force most of my apps to be moved to the SD Card . So if I have to do factory Reset I don't mind. But please help !!!

You can't fix it, if you don't go to the repair shop

Reply
Don't scare bro you'll need to repair it because is not only your roms problem. A half-bricked phone only needed to reflash or "odin" your phone will be repaired. But this time your phone's system part might damaged caused by the rom manager and you must go to the shop to repair. If that doesn't work you'll need to change one of the chip in your phone because it's damaged(The workers in the shop will ask you once they find out it's the chip's problem). Meh, just pay a bit of money and you'll get your phone back. Hope this helps!!! Next time becareful and not to brick your phone again.

1) Add Cement and build a house
2) Tell Samsung service centre it stopped working when you upgraded with kies- you know NOTHING about rooting ROMS the rest, just look nooby and sad
3) Get someone to do a JTAG repair on your ace.
4) Buy a RIFF JTAG box (more expensive than ace) and JTAG it yourself
sorry but they are really the only things you can do.

İf your phone doesn't go into downloadmod . Get someone to do Jtag.

By the way , you can try USB-JIG.İt may get your device into download mode.

Ok thank you so so much guys your replies are really appreciated , I guess I'll just bring it to the repair shop since I dk how to use the jtag or USB jig thing

Good, USB Jig doesn't work on ROM Manager brick, but they are nice for resetting flash count and going into download mode, you simply just plug it in the micro USB slot of your phone

if it is not connecting to download mode then u can't repair it by yourself, even samsung service center is helpless, because u have already void the terms and conditions by installing custom roms...

First you search: "How to unbrick Galaxy Ace in forum" and test it.
If not work, you have search in youtube, i remember have clip about this, need computer, cable and more.
But i think you return Samsung or Shop, you lost about 20$ for return Bootloader
Good luck to you.

[Q] I can not turn the device 'what to do?

Hello
Recently my device fails to reboot itself
I was with him in CM10. Then he began to have trouble running, absorption, and performance
Then I decided to lower it to CM 9 and solved at first, but then they grew and I could not format the device at all
What the device really shows me where this picture is off of the battery when I plug it into electricity.
Picture up and burns out until I physically take out the battery and has no access to electricity
Please note the battery is full and original.
I found a partial solution to insert the device via Odin and made burning GB version 2.3.5 with the PIT file. Full versions.
Although the device was. But I can not turn it off at all. Because if he turns off it returns to I said before you can not turn it at all and it displays the image with battery power connections.
What can you do?
Please help me! I have no idea how to solve the problem!

If u success in flashing stock 2.3.5 with ODIN without any failure and still become like that, only one problem: hardware failure.

That happened with me as well when I tried to flash anything! That means the eMMC chip is permanently damaged! You will need to discharge the battery using download mode and return to your seller to get refund or replacement if this doesn't work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660
If you have the NFC version of the S3 mini (GT-I8190N) then flash the PARAM_I8190N or otherwise try flashing PARAM_I8190

What?!?! Claim your warranty!!!
Did you return it to the manufacturer (Samsung) or to your seller? Return to your seller and get a refund or replacement. The contract of sales lies with your seller, not for you to give to Samsung customer services!
Did you try the link I sent you first though? Try that before returning it
