Did you try the below solution? Buy a JIG on eBay, it's a must have for flash-o-philes!

How do i check my phone, is it hardbricked or softbricked?

Hi there.
From what I've met with my G.N, when you got other message than the yellow triangle, you may flash your G.N with a custom rom with no problems within Download Mode.
If you got the yellow triangle, you may could go to download mode, too and flash a custom rom.
if no way to go to download mode, then I think the only answer is JIG.

I have tried the 3-bottom method, and no reaction! Keep turned off! (Dead)

Maybe the USB jig will help you to boot into the download mode.
Can you enter CWM?
How did you "bricked" your Note?
What have you flashed?

I would flash my Note with odin.
But it fails, i think it was the wrong PIT file.
And after that, it turns off, and now i cant turn it on again.
Usb Jig is only for 2.3.4 and earlier use?
Mine is 2.3.6

Their is nothing to do with version. JIG used for Put your device in Download mode and Clear your Custom binary Counter.
Before flashing ROM please read all instructions carefully.
As they said while flashing ROM using PC Odin you should not use Pit file and Not to Tick "Re-Partition".

Yes.. MY BAD..! Now im stuck here with a dead phone. But the Usb jig can wake it alive again??

The USB jig can boot your phone into the download mode, but only if the phone does response in any other way, I think. For example showing the battery icon, when plugged in for charging.
But you can try it anyways.

The download mode will work!
the only exception is a hardware defect.
you can't get an hardware defect by flashing.
the bootloader (3 button or jig) will work.
there is no way to kill the hardware during flashing or something else.
buy a jig and it will work.
you wrote you see the samsung logo - that means, that the bootloader is OK.
happy flashing ;-)

Yes. But if your phone totally does not response, it might be a dead bootloader too. thats what i meant.

Well you can try the usb jig anyways, but if there is still no response there is no way out and you have to bring it to your local service partner or samsung, I think.
But one fact is good for you:
It doesn't response on anything you do. So that means it can't be read out and they'll not see that you've flashed it. They'll just change the mainboard and resend it to you. This happened to me with my samsung galaxy s.
I totally destroyed the bootloader and it won't response. I directly send it to samsung and they just change the mainboard, as I said.
For sure you doesn't have to pay anything, assumed you are in warranty.

I'm gonna buy a jig immediately, however all of them are indicated as for Galaxy S2. Will it work with galaxy note too, or should I keep looking something specific for Galaxy Note ?

It will work for you SGNote, too. Just go get one, and let us know what happened.

Odin flashed while brick showing!?

I was helping a wonderfully smart girl the past few days, and today she bricked herself, i wasnt available to help her but she was able to FIX HERSELF! Smart girl had a good teacher!
short story:
flashing with odin in download mode
seemed to freeze at (sorry) something like "setup connections"
restart odin and phone....
PHONE BRICK SCREEN
Heres the snag:
She swears up and down, Odin3 1.7 recognized the phone (turned yellow in box) AND FLASHED back to stock WHILE BRICK SCREEN WAS SHOWING... (didnt get into download mode)
she has flashed several times with odin and knows "download mode" screen.
ive never heard of this so thought i would post. see if any other brickers can do it..
My one and only thought on how this might be possible sometimes is dependant on how and at what part of the process she bricked first... but maybe we've overlooked something basic all this time...
let the denial begin....

I have that instances before when I was still learning to flash, a computer and a phone screen. All I have done was remove the battery put the battery back with cover, hold volume rocker both the up and down but dont press the power button then plug usb cable on your phone (cable must be already attached to pc) when you see the yellow triangle and the shovel guy (aka download mode) remove usb from phone then run odin once running connect your phone via usb again it should detect your phone. then hit start after it finishes and reboots you may a do master clear with usb debugging on in settings. I don't know if this will work for you as this has work with mine.
(note: odin will not detect your phone if it is running and at the same time you perform download mode with your phone in my part this is the process where I brick my phone) following the right steps is very crucial in flashing roms specialy when new to the process.
I am not freaking out as i havent tried jig to unbrick it yet...
but may be becoz of my build number and i lost 3 button combo when i used odin one clcik earlier...i am not lucky enough

Thank you for confirming this MAY be possible in some situations...
thats what i was looking for...
now she was flashing 2.1 rogers over 2.2 rogers when it bricked.. then successfully flashed 2.1 rogers while bricked. so rogers software may have a part, or its build #. her phone came 2.2 loaded...
i need to find out what build # her phone is.. it came packaged with 2.2

Samsung Galaxy S HARD BRICKED

Hello,
I tried to flash back to the stock ROM of Galaxy S and then install a new Jetpack 8.2 custom ROM.
Apparently, since I did a bad search on the internet on finding a stock ROM and pit file, i downloaded a pack from xda with the .pit file pda file phone file and CSC file.
I DONT REMEMBER which it was..i selected all the files from the pack through odin and re-partitioning was ticked (i saw it after the flash finished).
So when the processes was completed waited a bit and since the phone was not responding i pulled it out.
Now that's it.. The screen is black - wont power on - wont go into download mode - wont show battery charge while the USB cable is on - nothing (AND YES THE BATTERY IF FULLY CHARGED).
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
p.s: havent tried a usb jig but from searches i made on the internet and on xda forums ppl said it will prolly not work. are there any instruction on how to make one (link would be appriciated)?
Thanks in advance
Best option would be to try a Jig (you can buy one on ebay or dealextreme) and see if you can go into DL mode. Sometime the button combination for Download mode changes depending on the firmware. Try pressing the middle of the volume rocker and power at the same time.
If not wait for a Jib or build yourself one. There should be instruction in this forum on how to build one.
if the jig doesn't work, i would try and return it to the store you got it. I know its a long shot, but the same thing happened to me and I brought it back and she just gave me a new phone! Its worth a shot!

Worth a try. Just tell them it suddenly stopped working and you have no idea what's wrong. It's not like they can power it on and see that you failed flashing it or something. and even if they use a jig they can only get to download mode and reflash it...
even if they say no... a jig costs like $1.5 on eBay. search for "i9000 jig".
Insert if, press the power button and poof, you're in download mode,
the thing is that the phone is not under any warranty or something and the store i got it is far away now !!
JTAG service if you're in the UK: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/
The JIG won't work when you brick with a black screen (i.e. bootloader corruption, so no boot at all).
Your only solution is to JTAG it or sadlly, throw it away...
I used a I9003 ROM to flash it !!
Maybe there is still a solution?
also from what i've found on forum sometimes the JIG helped ppl who had a black screen to go into download mode. so how can you be so sure? @ Dan_Aykroyd

As long as your bootloader is intact, the jig will get you to the download mode
Wrongly flashed i9000 with i897 rom has been confirmed to work with the jig, but i don't know i9000 with i9003 rom...
Or you can apply the unbrickable mod if your phone's warranty was voided already, if not, send it back to the shop.

Had that also yesterday putting a new ROM on my GS. The process of writing the PDA halted.. Black screen, no way to start it up en no screen indications of charging etc..
I removed it from my USB, Removed the battery a few times did the three way download mode trick several times and finally I got the download mode screen from where I successfully loaded the new ROM.
So try a few times.. even when you get a black screen !!
let me be clear once more..i downloaded a complete I9003 rom pack from xda... some guy posted..i just missed that it was I9003 and not I9000..
and on odin re-partition was clicked..but the process was completed successfully even thou after that the phone wont start or go into download mode :/
i used not only PDA and PIT files but 2 more was included as well :/ so what i am asking is if this could really have damaged the bootloader or not

Try jig first.
Next try JTAG or UNBRICKABLE mod.
Then Try a service centre.
in case it wokes up.. anyone has links for stock rom and pit to flash with odin?
thanks again
There are some ways, when already got into DL mode is best to reflash with 812.pit file and then again with 512.pit file. After I bricked my phone and got "death" screen (God I was crying) I found way of taking up DL mode (hopefully SGS is pretty-hard to brick). Others than that try to connect to your phone via usb (remember to first inset usb and then battery) and hold ALL of the buttons on your phone. Screen must flash about 3 times and then release volUp to get DL mode combo. I hope that will help you as me.

Are you 100% sure the JIG wont work if bricked with a black screen. Are there any other possibilities to unbrick the phone. I really need this phone back or my dad will kill me..

Is my P1010 bricked?

I have rooted my P1010 for about 3 months now and now and again it used to freeze and have a black screen but the key at the bottom would still be lit up. But now all of a sudden the tab will not turn on at all. I have left it on the charge over night but still no sign of it turning on. Does this mean its bricked? I just dont know why it done this all of a sudden.
Hm... Maybe you just need to force the shutdown(Power button+Vol- button) and turn on again(power button).

Bro, there is this unbrickable mod you still can do. As long as you don't fry any hardware, there is nothing you can do software-wise to really brick your device. You are owning a very special device. A true Lazarus. Don't give up.
But as TheATHEiST mention, you may want to try this, bro:
Plug it into computer, start odin and press Power + Volume down for at least 5 seconds. See if Odin can catch your device. If Odin still can catch it, then it is in download mode - with blank screen.

I am currently running windows 7 so what would my best option be to do this?
Also now all of a sudden when I connect the tab through usb I can get it into download mode for 1 second then it just flashes on and off on the boot screen. If I leave it for a while it will sometimes go into recovery mode but I cant seem to flash anything or factory reset.
EDIT: WE GOT IT FIXED GUYS!!! Thanks for your help guys. I just kept forcing it into recovery and factory resetting it until it rebooted. What do you think caused it to do that? Should I unroot it or flash a different rom? Or did that just happen by chance?

[Q] Think I have bricked my i9000

A couple of days I bought an i9000 off ebay, it came running eclare 2.1
I followed a guide to rooting it by installing a tar via heimdall, however this soft bricked it and when I turned it on it would just get stuck on the samsung logo. My phone seemed to suffer from the 3 button bug and therefore I had to get a jig for it which I received this morning.
I then tried to fix it by using this guide: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...ot-cwm-and-cyanogen-install-help/#entry356900
Bassically I used odin to install the EU samsung firmware, odin said everything went fine and it all passed, however I can no longer turn my phone on.
Screen stays blank, I tried putting batery in, jig in and connecting it to my pc to see if it was just the screen that wasnt responding but still nothing in odin.
Someone please tell me I havent bricked my phone 2 days after getting it.
First of all, can you ask enter download mode?
Secondly, are you are that it is a I9000 and not one of the variants?

Yea, nothing happens when I press the power button/use the jig.
And this is 100% a software/firmware issue as it happened after flashing.
I have a feeling I disconnected it too soon, basically odin said it had passed and so i unplugged it but it just stayed on the download screen so I thought it might have gotten stuck and took the battery out. However i might have took the battery out while it was updating something, I dont know.

Everything is stored on the mobo. However, I am not sure if it will be cheap.
you can pick them up for about £30 if you wait
I have a problem with my SGS 9000 too after I mistakely install firmware for Galaxy Tab. Now it's bricked and it lost download mode. On all actions (power button, entering download mode) I just feel very short and almost insensible vibration impulse. May be somebody had same problem?
