[Q] Hard bricked Galaxy S i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok well I've had this Galaxy S and decided to follow a tutorial from a reputable website (not gonna name which one) and after following it, it led to the freezing of odin and as a result a hard bricking of my galaxy S. tried so many things read so many threads on this forum, ive even ordered a jig to try to use despite people saying that it won't work. then finally accepted the fact that it was screwed unless i used a jtagbox. now im not the best with that sort of stuff but just wanted to know if anyone knows any PROPER EXPERIENCED technicians in Australia if possible (in Sydney even more preferable) that can carry out the proper procedure for jtag. obviously if theres noone nearby im willing to post the phone out to them . what sort of price am i looking at for the procedure?
thanks in advance guys

there is an mobile repair shop next to Bankstown.
I don't know what u mean by Jtagbox, but my phone f**ked up so took it to him however I ended up getting a new phone for xmas lol
cheers

If you are really considering JTAG as your last resort, then better consider this first http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...wered-device-by-creating-your-own-bootloader/

G1 stuck on G1 screen

My G1 is stuck on g1 screen. I was flashing haykuro's spl but i forgot to update my radio. I dont have a warranty and i cant repair because i just got this back a week ago so help would be appreciated just tell me some code or gesture or something to fix this by monday or else my dad's gonna kill me. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
There is no fix....sorry!
Well actually I'm not sorry given the volume of threads and posts relating to SPLs and radios. If you had done a little research first you would have easily realized that you have to update the radio before the SPL....that's by we call it the danger SPL!
I thought flashing the SPL before the radio mistake was so 6 months ago....I guess I was wrong.

Yep he summed it up pretty much, but you can tell tmo that the 1.6 update broke you G1. Or it came broke when you turned it on.
-Coolest phone is the one with the power of hero
thought you should know that
If your dad's gonna kill you, I'd say either run away or find someone else's g1 to borrow for a while (don't mess with their phone tho! stick with ota firmware!) Also, you should tell any buddies you have with g1/mytouch to NOT ROOT THEIR PHONES if they don't know what they are doing, its better to have an ota phone that works than a bricked phone from a botched root access attempt
I got this phone from china thats where my dad ordered it. this costed him $495 and when I bricked it last time it costed him $40 and the afternoon i got my phone he told me that he doesnt want to see my phone bricked again.

I am good at modding its just i forgot that my radio was old. Im getting the psp go for christmas but if my dad finds out about this then Im not gonna get ANYTHING. Now its either you find someway to fix my g1 or your precious friend haykuro is coming down with me. ( I was flashing his spl when it soft bricked my phone)
I dont have $200 and i dont have a credit card. Can you guys do me a big favor? Can you all chip in to buy me a new g1 and one of you can buy it for me? PPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha this is sooooo funny. First off who is gonna pay almost $500 for a g1. And why get it from china. Second Just like DM said why should we feel sorry for you when there has been warning signs forever. And last WHY WOULD WE DONATE MONEY TO YOU. I'll tell my son that he can't have any christmas presents cause I had to donate money to an awesome modder.

Obviously your not good at modding if this happened
You can't fix a brick... well you can but it requires modding hardware and after what you did to modding software I wouldn't try it.
And why is Haykuro coming down with you, he specifically says that he is NOT responsible for anything that happens, it is all the responsibility of you- and you alone. The best he can do is give you the things needed and instructions the rest is you, and you seemed to have messed that up

Wow really?? I mean no, seriously really?? Maybe we should all just start a huge donation fund specifically designated to the masses that bricked their phones because THEY CAN'T READ/FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
But on the plus side think of this as a learning experience, after you sit there Christmas morning and weep that you don't have any presents to open, I bet you'll never try to modify something again without doing your research and actually try being prepared before you mess with a device that costs a couple hundred dollars

Help!! Bricked tab !! Worst case yet!!

Here the what i think happened.
I tried to flash a some firmware onto sprint tab that I got working for a day. i then wanted to try a different rom. something went wrong and my tab didnt boot correctly. i couldnt get it into download mode, although ive done it about 100 times prior. Nothing worked but the flash was on. i couldnt turn it off. it would come on when i pluged the device to the comp or the charger.
i figured ill let the battery drain and try again to recover with the no_modem.tar everyone has used before. no luck .
a week past and now ive tried hiem and this time i was able to get a read. i must have tried the same files and same order 20 times out of desperation. to tell you the truth i didnt even notice when it made the connection. i just saw the process complete.
i thought like many other times before im back. however i cant get a sign of life from this device. i tried everything. if i had to put it into words this thread will be 3 pages before anyone can attempt to give me some input.
i want to give up. if it wasnt for this forum and all i have learned here before with my ppc8700 years ago , i would have mailed it in. so please. give me some advice. im too tired to continue. just spent 5 hours and missed dinner holding the 3 buttons and well getting no response from the tab.
please help..excuse my grammar . i didnt even proof read....
And this is relevant to the development section????
Dude how is this a dev project? Use some common sense, go to the question forum.

[Q] $400 to fix my Galaxy

Hello all!!
I have recently tried to flash my Galaxy and me being the most useless person with technology must have done something wrong and now cannot work the phone.
Im pretty sure the message (now cant remember what it said) means it has ROM or something (please excuse my limited knowldege)
Anyway because I played around with it, its not under warranty hence they have to charge me.
However they have asked for $400 to fix the phone. Now I bought my phone for $900..??
I do accept my fault for breaking the phone in the first place, however I think $400 is a bit too much..
Now to my main question, is there a way for me to fix this myself?? or is there a cheaper place where I can fix this because this has gone way too far..
Living without my Android is like hell..
Can someone please help me!!!!
argh!!
I will try to get a better description of the fault if I can.
try reading some manuals and stuff like that on the forum
if it is rom related i think all u will need to do is flash a new rom from odin
just read and dig
if its software no problem to fix
i am learning my self too i had my phone not booting and stuff but after reading all good.
Ya, I got my phone bricked also, but managed to fix it. Basically search more info and tutorials for your particular problem and ways to fix it and you`ll find a way.
Did you drop it or?
If yes, you should repair it and pay :/
If not, setup adb and reflash your android!

My advise pay few dollars buy jig ebay flash with odin save yoursef 390+ dollars it is usb download jig very cheep believe it is exactly what you need
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
One the beginning as always .
Can you access download mode via 3 button or even recovery mode .
If so the probability is you can flash a stock rom to at least have a phone covered under warranty.If not working 100%.

[Q] Need to KILL Samsung Galaxy Note

Hey guys. Long time reader, first time poster here.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note, and I need to KILL it.
By kill, I mean, it has to stop working (wont even get to home screen etc) without taking it apart or anything.
Normally I can do it when an update is available, and I just download the update, and while it's installing, I remove the battery and format the SD card or whatever, and it makes the phone come up with an error message when it turns on.
As I live in Australia, the Galaxy Note has only just been released, and there are no ICS updates or anything for it, so I can't kill it that way.
I figure I'd ask the experts here if ANY of yo know how to do this.
Thanks heaps!
Well.....if you need to kill your phone, just flash this "sbl.bin" by PC ODIN (PDA)
Your phone will be dead (no screen, no lights, no sound.)
Enjoy crazy dude
Why kill it? Couldn't you sell it and make a happy note owner? Use the money for a new phone. Seems like a shame to waste a good phone. I'm sure some devs would appreciate a phone.
Why?
I have a better solution. Donate it to a dev here.

I need help

Hello, I have never posted in this forum before but I really need help, My cousin died a few months ago and ever since we have been trying to bypass his pattern lock, We have tried everything from dusting the phone to see if we could possibly get the pattern somehow that way to watching all his old climbing videos to see if he maybe opened his phone on camera. We are out of options and we do not want to format his phone due to the unknowing of how he died, it does not make sense and we wanna see if he had anything that can help us figure this all out. Is there anything we can do to get past the pattern lock on his phone, currently the phone is in airplane mode because he was living in the USVI and signal and wifi sucked there so at night he would put his phone in Airplane mode.
Thank you for the help.

You say you never posted here before and yet right next to your name it says you've made 30 posts so far and it doesn't lie.. Now regarding the phone, we don't help people bypass passwords/patterns/fingerprint or iris scans or any security at all and the reason we don't help with that is because too many people lie and they're just trying to get a stolen phone unlocked.. If your story is legitimate the phone carrier will help you unlock the phone itself so long as you can prove your story..

Ok so I have not posted since 2011 and forgot I even did, Thanks for being the big man for pointing that out, as to the carrier helping, NO they wont, even with the death certificate and proof of being the father he can not get any help other than a factory reset and that is not what he is looking for, we need the phone to be like it is. Another question would be is there a way to take it out of Airplane mode seeing we do know his login information?

Nope not possible to get it out of airplane mode when the screens locked because if that were possible then a thief could just turn the GPS off and keep the phone hidden.. You're pretty much going to have to read around and search Google..

No it's not a lie, The help they provide is doing a factory reset on the phone and we want to keep the data, I know of plenty of programs that will remove the pattern lock but none of them will work on the Note 8. I understand people not helping out because of the security risk and the potential of it being a stolen phone.

That is hard to proof what you say is a lie or not. We can all say things here but doesn't mean it's the truth or not.
As said before you won't get any help here on bypassing the FRP. (You'll understand if you lost your phone and someone else is trying to unlock your phone, would you want us to help that thief to unlock your phone and get your important files/banking info?)
Only thing I'll say is try a Samsung service center or even getting the police/lawyers to help.

The thing is we don't know 100% whether it's a lie or not because everyone and I mean everyone who asks us to help them get around the security seems to have some sort of crazy story in order to try to make us think it's legit and they all say the same thing, "I'm not lying." So try to see it from our side.. I don't want to be the person who causes someone else's stuff to be compromised or personal stuff taken or whatever.

So just to be clear, Who does he need to talk to when he goes in? He has all his information and the death certificate. I am going to assume that is the information he will need to prove that he is his dad and that was his son. The only store he has been into so far is in WA and they told him the only thing they could do is a factory reset and like I said we want to keep all data.
And just to be clear not one person said your stupid so not sure why you said that, so many people do not come to places like this to get help because of people like you, there is no reason to act like a smart butt for no reason, we are going through a hard time and just trying to find some answers and all I am doing is asking questions, I can not help the fact that the store he went to told him they will only do a factory reset, that does not turn into anyone lying or anything.

Again, no matter what you say, or your sad or bad situation, NOBODY HERE will help you bypass security locks of any kind, it is just like this, ethical forum rules, you know,
If you have proof that you are a relative of the owner of the device and have their death certificate. You could take the device to Samsung and ask them to unlock it for you. However Samsung will probably ask allot of questions and request that you provide official documentation to prove that you are a relative of the deceased person who owned the device.
However nobody in this forum will provide you with any assistance on unlocking the device. As we do not know if the device was obtained illegally.
Honestly I'm not sure even the carrier or one of their techs can bypass the screenlock. If anyone can, it would have to be Samsung.
Remember a couple years ago, the terrorist couple in California who killed several people? The FBI confiscated their iPhones as evidence, and they couldn't bypass the screenlock. The carrier couldn't do it. They went to Apple, who said they could but refused the court order. The FBI finally got a hacker to do it for them.
Not sure if Samsung is as picky as Apple, but if Apple wouldn't unlock an iPhone to potentially prevent more terrorist action, I doubt Samsung will do it to view some family member's videos.
Not trying to be cold about it, but it's a fact.

I don't think Samsung will do that period and even if they did do that, they're absolutely going to factory reset the phone and he doesn't want them to delete anything and unfortunately that just seems suspicious that someone would want or have a need for another person's personal information.. There's no getting around the fact that it seems suspicious even if he is being honest so I'm certain that they'd factory reset it either way.

I don't think it's suspicious he wants to get into a deceased loved ones phone. When my first wife died, it was a blessing to have her password for her phone. Knowing one of the last things she saw was a text from me, etc.

Yeah I get that and totally understand but Samsung isn't going to feel sorry or anything all they're going to be thinking about is protecting themselves from a lawsuit you know.

If he has offical documents proving that he is the relative of the deceased. I am sure that Samsung would be more than willing to help him unlock the device for them. Seeing as Samsung has at hand.

Yeah I get that and totally understand but Samsung isn't going to feel sorry or anything all they're going to be thinking about is protecting themselves from a lawsuit you know.

Even if Samsung does take him to court. If the court finds that the documents proving that he is a relative of the decease are genuine. They will order Samsung to do as he asked ASAP. I doubt that Samsung will take him to court if he does have the official documents at hand.
