I was running leaked version of UCKF1 2.3.3 then I found this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281221&page=1 so tried to flash it. I got an error of failing to upgrade and phone couldn't boot up. Then I tried heimdall one click unbricker and it worked. Then I decided to flash to stock and after odin said PASS the phone just died. It can't turn on.. no boot screen no nothing. I can't see anything moving or lighting on the phone. please help me recover the phone
It won't respond to any combos like "vol up + vol down + USB" or any others..
Search for Adam Outler's "Am I bricked?" Thread. Help you figure out where you are.
Did you you use 3 button fix jf6? If ya did you hard bricked.
Thanks for replies.
I'm hard bricked and as I get it the only solution is JTAG which is quite expensive and I'll have to send my phone to someone
Isn't there any other solutions? please help me..
Check out the UnBrickableMOD in the DEV section if sending the phone somewhere is not an option. High skill is still required but it's a good alternative if you know someone who is skilled with soldering.
I don't want to open my phone myself so I guess I'll have to send it to someone anyway.. If I use JTAG will my data be saved?
Don't pay for Jtag. Pay for Unbrickable mod. Easier to do AND you are for ever free of hard brcks.

The Linux/Ubuntu part isn't hard. Go to Ubuntu site, downloads, option 3 which is the wubi installer. If you get the windows no disc error, just keep clicking continue until the installer starts.
Thanks all.. I knew from the start of the thread that I had it hard bricked coz I have flashed all of the roms out there and soft bricked many times and fixed, so I have some experience in this.
The part I don't understand is that after I tried to flash to stock it died after that.. quite odd.. I think I'll go for unbrickable after all.. but in Georgia, where I live it's gonna be a pain to find someone able to do this neatly..
Thanks for all your support..
You can send it to adam (one of the people that worked on that) or Connexion (mobiletechvideos.com) Cost you some though.
It may just be a black screen brick, not a hard brick. Pull the battery, wait 2 minutes, replace battery. Use a jig, let it stay plugged in about 30 seconds. Hook up to Odin and see if it lights a com box. If it does, you can flash stock. If it doesn't, time to send it off. Last I heard, jtag was only about $50. Shipping I don't know about.
Of course I had tried pulling the battery and all the stuff that can be done to maintain the phone.. shipping is +20$ for international and add it the cost of shipping from here to USA.. helluva sum.. it goes like 100$.. so I left off my phone in the local "Samsung" service center. I doubt they can even handle it but at least I won't have to pay if they can't.. if they can though it'll cost around 40$ as they said. So wish me luck I guess..
UPDATE!
Hey all.. I just got my captivate from the samsung service center and it's working quite well thanks for your effort

Dumbass me did exactly as the title says. Now the phone won't do jack, won't even go into download, don't see a bootscreen, just stays black and off. Tried all the button combos and ****. Am I ****ed? I'm still under warranty. What do I need to do? Do I need to get a JIG or will that not do?
Did u try pulling the the battery, opening the one click, plugging usb in then holding volume up and down only (no power button) then putting battery in. should go straight into download. If not that I would look into a jig. Captivates are pretty hard to permanently brick. The guys here on xda are pretty awesome. Helped me out of more than one hair losing situation

First please watch the swearing in The threads. Second if you can't get into dl mode by the method above then a jig may be your only hope. There are videos that will show you how to make one or how to order a pre made one. A search will get you where you need to be.

Yes, I'm not a noob, I said I tried all the button combos, how else do you think I even got OneClick to work on my phone in the first place... Doesn't go into download mode.
don't get smart with someone trying to help you...if you knew completely what you were doing you would have NEVER closed odin while it was flashing...just sayin.
my guess is you closed it while it was flashing bootloaders and its now bricked and nothing short of jtagging it or a warranty replacement will get you a working phone. next time wait until its done before you touch anything
JIG did the trick.
And don't be a smartass yourself, I screwed up, I said that, Mr. I'm-so-perfect-I-never-screw-up. I don't know what you do for a living, maybe you can go play Xbox with your friends from school while your phone is restoring, but I need to be able to use my computer for business at all times.

Dude, you need to relax. There are disclaimers all over the place. We do this because it is a pass-time for us as well as a hobby. By no means does anyone have to come in here and bow to your demands or be berated by you because you are frustrated at a problem with your phone. Use of the search function would have yielded the answers you so douchebaggedly demanded.
Using your computer for more than one task is possible. Run Odin all you want but this "windows" or other operating system you may run has this nifty ability to more than one thing at once.
... it's like watching a guy holding a hornet's nest and saying, "I don't care what you say, I'm punting this thing and that's that!".

Was your computer made in the 90's or something? It's easy do this stuff on the computer your work on in your spare time, just make sure you're a little more careful next time.
I'm glad the jig worked.
Hi
Ive bricked my Tab from updating to Gingerbread through ODIN, I knocked the USB lead out by accident. The bootloader froze and couldn't get it to flash again, so I turned it off (BIG MISTAKE) and now it wont turn on. It won't boot in to bootloader mode either.
BUT
If I plug it in to my PC, it is recognised as 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D'. The drivers wont install, if I hold the power button while plugged in to the PC then it disappears from Device Manager.
Ive searched the forums and found nobody with the same 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' detection.
Could somebody please help me, I cant find my receipt for it and im worried about the price of the repair.
Many Thanks
Ryan
does odin recognize it ? if does , flash again gingerbread and this time be more careful

Thanks for the reply, I cant seem to get odin to recognize it. Only each time when I plug it in, 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' pops up trying to install drivers. I've left it to charge on the mains for the rest of the day and going to see if that helps.
Ive found a bank statement with my purchase on it, so I might be able to use that as a proof of purchase. Do you think I could get this repaired under warranty even though Ive bricked it?

Go ahead and do a RMA with Samsung, i'm sure they will send you a new device, or at least they can try to repair the broken one. Good luck!
PS. don't tell that you've bricked the tab!

**Phone seems to have no power does nothing, pull battery same thing cant even get download flashing screen screen**
I bought my new Bell I9000M and loved it then started about rooting, purchased rom manager premium and download darky rom 9.5 thru it and installed it worked pretty good.
Now I upgraded to 10.2RE and ran it for about 2 weeks without problems then today I started playing with emulators. Played SNES all day then noticed N64 installed played zelda no problems then found a psx emulator.
This is when disaster struck. I went to play FFVII with the psx emulator and it would lock up then quit the program. So I thought if i just did a reboot it might work.
Apon rebooting I started getting Force Close on pretty much all apps.
I tried to just repeat the install procedure for 10.2RE with odin including to make sure the repartition option was checked and it would load up then say something about UID inconsistent so I retried about 3 times (seems like it wasn't actually repartitioning then installing the clean software).
Frustrated I rebooted my PC and redid the process clicking the repartition then like a F'n Tard only loaded the PIT and not the PDA!!!
So no power
recovery botton method not working
tried vol down+power, vol up+down+power, just power (all with battery pulls)
the thing doesnt blink, cherp, or squat
I think Im done but pleeeease someone have something for me to do I am not a noob in these kind of things but it just came down to not double checking before hitting start.
Do i have a $400 paper weight and need to save for a S2???

Sounds like you are gonna need to try and make a jig or grab one off ebay, if that fails then, you can always try a repair shop, if you are in the GTA I can recommend a place to you, they have a JTAG
Yeah I think its a JTAG repair at that point which involves a lot more hands on (search youtube - they have demos).

Well Im reading that I need to jtag.. Ive done this with satellite receivers before but my usb equipment is different then what all the youtube videos are showing.
From what I read I have a full/hard brick
I'm I wrong in that a jig will only fix a software brick (or does this classify as such) I can easily make the jig which i will attempt tomorrow but I just want to know if its worth my time as i read that a jig only works when u have a black screen with two little white boxes showing or something like that
Im in Edmonton, AB Canada can anyone help me out with a jtag? (If a jig is going to work then let me know to as Im waaay to tired right now!)
thanks for the help

Ahh right I just noticed the part where you said you have no power.... I dont think the jig will work for you in that case...
Just checked kijiji, you can call these guys and see if they have a JTAG

http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-service...es-Best-Prices-Guarranteed-W0QQAdIdZ218015698
So after much searching I have not found anyone in Edmonton who provides jtag flashing in town. If I was in Toronto I would be set.
Anyways since no one provides this service in Edmonton I feel like I should purchase the equipment and start providing this services.
Does anyone know what software and jtag I need to get and I reputable site to order off of?

Not that I have a fix, but that use to be a semi normal step about 10 mos ago installing firmwares, to do the pit by itself, I hardly would think that step caused your problem... I could me misguided. This is the first post I have read with this issue though...
There is a user on the east coast that was about to get one before I convinced him to try warranty first as they were still all under a year old. Which you might try too...
Brisk something was his handle. Check back in my posts late July maybe...

Hello ,
Y'day was updating my captivate tru samsung kies mini.
The kies downloaded the latest firmware and phone was in downloading mode .
All of sudden kies min said upgrade not sucessful and informed to remove the battery and try again in recover mode.
But the the phone does not want to turn on or do any thing even with 3 button mode recovery.
Its just powered OFF mode.
I have tried the usb cable jig with 300k resistors also no luck.
any help appreciated guys.
Thanks in advance.
Mine also did this, and I called AT&T. If it's under warranty you'll receive a refurb, if not AT&T may replace it for free if you can sweet talk them like I did. Just make sure they understand nothing you did was the reason it will not turn on, and try not to get snippy with them even though it's so easy, because they seem so dense.
They will make you go thru trying another battery, and cable. Just tell them you have already did this. I already tried the new battery in my old phone just to make sure. It still will not power on normally, or go into download mode with my dongle.
If AT&T won't replace it, then you Will have to contact adam outler, or mobiletechvideos.com for the unbrickable mod.
no use in creating a usb jig either to unbrick
May be I will have to send this to get it JTAG.
I am ok in soldering etc , so if any one has the instructions for JTAG please post it.

From what I understand, you'll probably have better luck with Unbrickable Mod than JTAG if you're going to do the soldering yourself. On top of that, you'll have the added benefit of never having to worry about bricking again.
UBM is much easier to do than the Jtag. Instructions for UBM found here
Before you go taking your phone apart try plugging it into the computer and seeing if it even registers it.
Well hello guys... first of all: thank you for taking your time to try to help me, I really appreciate that.
Secondnly, I was about to flash a new kernel (the lates nAa) and I had fullfilled all of the requirements on the thread. But! When I was going to pick the kernel from Flashtool i accidently picked the one that comes with the flashtool (X10_V1_BLRelock.ftf) and just now when im writing this i see that it is even named: BLRelock which i think has to mean bootloader relock(?).
However, this resulted to that i cannot boot the phone, don't get any response by pressing buttons, and no green light when trying to get to flashmode.
Ive heard that your phone gets bricked if you relock it when you're on another kernel.
Have you got any solution to this?
Kind regards
Kiwiii
Please search first.Because a lot of threads concerning this issue has been opened in XDA.
And to your problem:
Its probably a Hard brick.Means,you cant revive the phone by yourselves. You may need to use JTAG or just send the phone to Sony Repair shops. They will fix it for you. If you are under warranty just say that "My phone just went of on its own!" or anything like that as the cause of the Hard Brick. Otherwise you will have to take out some money from your pocket!
