Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

HI,
I am from INDIA, few months back I got a Samsung Captivate , Till now i tried FIREFLY and CM7 ROMs . The first time flash i did it with ODIN i guess i did it with a wrong firmware ,So was stuck with AT&T screen boot loop issue. Searching the forums and found JIG may help and so made a JIG (as i can't get one here) . and recovered my phone and flashed stock and then FIREFLY and 2 weeks back i flashed CM7 for getting Gingerbread and not likeing the UI of the ROM tried to switch back to stock and then customize on my own.
So When i tried flashing Stock the installation was success the screen stuck few moments on AT&T logo and i thought it would go off, But as i was very eager to get my phone online again i pulled of the battery to restart manually (Which i dont think was nice idea ) Now the screen remains black even i use the JIG to get into download mode. But the phone heats UP when i plug it for charging on computer or directly to switch
HELP NEEDED as i am very addicted to this PHONE
I have the same issue. I was tryint to load Cognition and it just gets stuck on the ATT screen but I haven't tried a jig yet. I was wondering if I can replace the files on the phone with good files that aren't corrupted and see if it boots up because droid explorere can still pick up the phone and so does Odin but when I do a master reset nothing happens.
@rajasekhar - Have you tried: Removing all parts (battery, sim, sd) let it sit for a few min (my preference is around 10 min to insure no residual power is left in the system) then hold the jig in place and putting the battery back in? Keeping the jig in place, so that as soon as the device gets power it is immediately seeing the jig, before it can try any other processes.
A bit difficult to do with hand made jigs I know. If you still getting nothing then your in for the worst and the phone need a JTAG or service center visit.
Tho it sounds a little odd that it could boot up to seeing the AT&T logo, but does not respond to the jig. Might even be a hardware problem.
@i3oots - Since you say your still getting PC response your safe to try and reflash it or just pick something different altogether. Tho you might wanna let ODIN settle and just sit there doing nothing for a few min, w/o then w/ the phone plugged in. Or learn about Heimdall and go that route.
Would I be able to flash it even though it get's stuck on the ATT screen? It won't go into download mode. I'll look on the forums how to flash it too. I'm a newb at this which is why I bricked it but everyone has to start somewhere lol.

You have probably Hard Bricked your phone. A JIG will not work to recover the phone. If the phone has any life at all, then the JIG will work. Else, u hard bricked it...you should never remove the usb cable when flashing bootloaders or odin or anything!
the only solution is to get a JTAG which can recover hard bricks OR you can go to a warranty store (don't know about india) and make up a sob story and have them replace it..

Does your computer recognize the phone? If odin is open, does the box turn yellow when you connect your phone? Make sure you have the right drivers. I think cm7 and captivate drivers are different. Keep trying with the jig. Just because you can't see anything on the screen doesn't mean the phone is dead.

If your phone is booting up far enough to send out USB info for ODIN and other PC programs to see it, then your still in a workable condition. This also means you can still get into download mode, but since things arn't working properly it will be harder. Depending on which bootloaders your phone has will direct which methods you'll have to try out to get into download mode.
AFTER you've had a chance to look around the forum and self-educate on the different ways of getting into download mode. If your still having problems give us a lil more info of what you were running before the flash and to which version of Cog you were trying to flash.
Did anything worked for you, if not only a jtag can help you looks like u hard bricked the phone.
Hi guys
@DaNarki : Yea i tried that method to .
Thanx for ur suggestions guys .I really squeezed through xda for all possible ways of unbricking but no use. SO thought JTAG was the only option.But wanna know more about JTAG???????
Went for a samsung service centre they said they wont handle other country products of samsung. Just yesterday went to the local Cell phone Repair store , He said like he would try using a Ctool box they have for installin onto the rom directly. So i thought why not Give a shot to it ...
That store guy raised another question in me . Yesterday after giving it in the morning he said to call in the evening . I did so and he said the Phone is booting on the Ctool but it is sometimes throwing error . I dint get his intention in saying so . have to go to him today
bricked maybe not
I thought I was bricked also ...HARD BRICKED......no buttons no nothing ...tried odin on, phone plugged in, and hold down volume up and down and reinstall batt......nothing worked.......but this... it worked for me........ok first of all remember this will be a bit tricky because you will have to keep the volume keys pressed the whole time till you have download mode......should also have full batt......take out the sim and any flash cards you may have in the phone and the batt.....set the phone down and watch a couple hours of tv or try to brick your buddies phone so he can feel your pain...lol something.....ok now after your tv show has gone off turn on your computer and start up odin one click to stock.... put just the batt in the phone.....if your friend is still there you should try this with 100% batt.... use his phone to charge your batt.....any way put the batt in the phone....plug the usb cable into your computer......now for the tricky part .......press down the volume up and down now and do not let them go till the end of this and you should have download mode.......now plug in the usb to your phone IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET DL MODE HERE THEN GO AHEAD AND LET GO OF THE VOLUME BUTTONS AND FLASH YOUR PHONE ....if not... KEEP THE BUTTONS PRESSED.......now take the batt out of the phone.....keep them pressed......unplug your usb cable......keep them pressed.... restart odin...... keep them pressed....plug your usb cable back in.......keep them pressed... re-install the batt.....you should get download mode.......remember you have to keep them pressed... JUST... the volume up and down pressed through the whole process nothing else....This worked for me and I was dead bricked no nothing from any of the keys no nothing..... I DIDNT INVENT THIS METHOD I READ IT ON HERE SOMEWHERE AND CANT FIND IT AGAIN......It did work for me when nothing else did.....so if the person that posted it reads this THANK YOU...... ................................................. I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cant find the original post

If you just wanna know a bit about the process ask this guy. He is pretty much the only person in the US (I know not all to useful to a person in India) that does JTAG for the cappy.
I can tell you this much, it requires a special device called a Riff box and it sends boot info directly to the chip on the main/mother board that is used for the booting process.
Somewhere I've seen a site that listed info of ppl around the world that will JTAG, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Hope it helps I wish I could find the original post again to thank the guy that told me how to do it. I had sent that phone back to att and the promptly sent it back and told me the water dammage sticker in the bat compartment was missing and they wanted to charge me 409 bucks for the phone ....long story short it was there when I sent it and I told them to go pound sand up their ass because I wasnt paying them that much and ended up paying 125 bucks for a paper weight.So that is when I decided to have it jtaged but figured I would give it one more shot before mailing it off. That was when I found the post from that person and low and behold it worked........................... I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cat find the original post

But ppl help me with JTAG thing and its users(or developers) availability in india
Forgot to mention
I Missed to explain my flashing procedure i have done this time . Like I never tried flash a boot file along and so was reading some threads about boot loader variations between FROYO and GINGERBREAD so i tried flashing ablong with boot loader and then I got the stock gingerbread file i put the boot loader SBL in heimdall Firstboot loader path .And Boom the first reboot got stuck and i removed the battery and then again when i tried to restart the phone is dead
Thinking this might have where the whole thing went wrong and made the cell dead .
I don't expect I can be helped, but I needed to restore my rooted Note and after going through the backup/restore process my note died and now will not switch on in any mode (download including). After reading on here I would appear to have "bricked" my Note. Can any one advise / help? Can I claim on phone insurance? Is there any point returning it to Samsung?

you are in stock ICS LPY Germany ???
restored with recovery stock or CWM CF??
The rooting process will have invalidated your warranty....
BUT....
if you are fully hard bricked (sounds like it), take it to Samsung service and say, "I was doing an official update to stock ROM with KIES and it just died".
Good luck.
why is this in development?
oh yeah you are bricked and most of all
YOU ARE ON THE WRONG FORUM CATEGORY....

Thanks for your reply's - this is my first post, so sorry if its in the wrong place, I'm not an expert just wanted some advice didn't mean to offend anyone!!!
yes it was stock ICS (germany)
and recovery was CWM CF
think I'll try Samsung service then if all else fails will try to claim on phone / home insurance.
Darn.
Good luck

The rooting process will have invalidated your warranty....
BUT....
if you are fully hard bricked (sounds like it), take it to Samsung service and say, "I was doing an official update to stock ROM with KIES and it just died".
Good luck.

you don't do it, just say to them your phone was off can't boot, just that, because they already know the reason was, cheer up!
I presume you've tried taking battery out and wait 10sec, put back in.
Is recovery and download mode working???
Recovery = holding vol up + home + power btn
Download = holding vol down + home + power btn
If....with odin classic stop in the flash gingerbread procedure you are in brick situation....
prove to retun in Gingerbread firmware
Hehe that's happen when you do stuff without READ FIRST. You fuc*ed up your /data partition
anyway there is a post in general forum about how to reformat partitions
If you have warranty send it to Sammy. If not then check that post.

I cannot enter download or recovery, no matter what I do and cannot see how I will be able to repartition if I cannot switch device on. I know I've made a mistake - but everyone has to start tinkering somewhere and this was mine, if I was an expert I wouldn't be in this situation in the first place. Last resort, I buy a cack phone and never play around again (but we wouldn't get anywhere if people did that).
I think you can try to get another phone from samsung. just say you ware using it as ussual then it just died after left charging over night. Don't mention words like brick or root or rom or recovery bla bla bla. And if you get lucky this time, i recommend doing some researches before doing anything serious next time

Hi there, tried the battery out and wait then switch on, did nothing. Waited 10 mins tried again, still nothing. Computer will not recognise connected device by USB. It would appear that I'm doomed!!!!
Send the phone back to Samsung
Also this not happens because you play with your phone. This happens when you do stuff without READ FIRST. People need to understand that if you want to do anything you need learn how to do it before doing it.
There are HUNDREDS of threads about this bricks.

OK - I get it, I should not have done this, but I have and now I need to deal with it. If I didn't do something every time I was told not to do it, I'd be a sad lonely man (but maybe with a phone that works). Oh well, I'll have to buy an SIII then.....
Hi there i have a SGS which was running ics on a custom rom working fine
I then wanted to flash the official 2.3.6 os back on it for a friend.
I put the phone into download mode then odin did'nt do anything so i turned it off
now i can't see anything on the phone when i turn on the power key please can i do anything?
Check your drivers on your labtop and retry to put the GS in download mode
Try going in recovery system and do all three wipes...

I've got a better solution and with it your phone will never be bricked in the future.
But you can use it only if you are handyman.
Follow this thread :

@drakester20 the utube video that you sent me went back to xda site and said it will only work if the bootloader is workin mine is'nt
and
that method you showed on disecting the phone might be my only option
just out of curiosity could i give it to samsung and will they detect that it has been rooted?
BTW i installed a I9100 flash file on to the odin when i did it which was samsung s2 flash file now i realise what went wrong

It's easy you just have to make a bridge between two connectors (OMX5 and OMX0) and after you flash a software. If this manipulation can make my phone like a survivor i can do it ^^

Don't worry about that the GS2 has a counter who is incremented when u flash a non official software it's a trick that the constructor used to help the Samsung's technicians to know if you can use the guarantee or not but the GS1 isn't equipped of this system, then it doesn't matter.
so @drakester20 are u saying that i can give it samsung and they wont know and charge mer nothing?

@drakester20 so what did u tell samsung when your phone got briked.
Just found found out that my phone still has warranty till the end of next moth.
What should I say to them?
Should i say i used samsung kies to update then a failure message came on my screen ?
What should i say as I am running out of time and my warranty is nearly about to go?

After being careful on flashing ROM based on our valued friends instruction, my Note got bricked somehow.
Rom installed: Slim Beans 4.3 build 2 with Raw kernel R4.
Everything works fine and smooth until on time, when i was using the phone with 19% batt while charging the phone hang. It was not responding at all so i pressed and hold the power button until it power off. Then i removed the charge and change the battery from a spare fully charged batt. Now the phone won't turn on.
Note won't go to recovery nor download mode. Does not show that its charging as no charging icon show up. I have an external battery charge though so i'm sure that my spare battery is fully charged. I tried to blindly perform the download mode and connect to PC with Odin and its not recognized. Even tried the one-click unbrick but would not recognize the phone. Any idea what else i can try beside using USB Jig or JTAG?
I’ve read about sudden death issues or reserve battery being depleted but non of the solution worked.
Anything else i might have failed to try? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Yes, nothing at all. it just died on me all of the sudden. I've never experienced even boot loop since flashing almost all sorts of ROM & kernel since CM 9 days, even jumping between TW/ASOP/CM/Miui roms. I've always been very careful in following the instructions reading since rooting my n7000.
now this happened. :crying:
Edit: And now i've read that they are about to release a Kitkat Omni ROM..
If there is no response from the phone at all.. then there could be board issues.. Try with a jig if possible. may be that can force the phone into download mode.. else repair center..

Hmm.. I was looking to flash the same kernel with the new tech. Maybe look for help from the developer? On his topic was a guy who had the similar situation.
Looking to hear more from you on this.
ps. flashed the kernel once (r4) and the backlights were turning on and off (in settings were turned off), so i figured the kernel isn't supported. Slim Rc2
Well, i finally got a usb jig today and tried it on my n7000, it didnt work. Still no download mode for me, nothing. As i suspect this is already super bricked due to damaged mainboard.
The screen won't light up at all? When you are in a dark room, the screen isn't completely black, and that is the sign you need. It could be messed up partitions. Have you used pit file before?

Yes, won't light up at all not even in a dark room. I have not tried using a pit file before but would love to try it. The problem is i can't get it to download mode, not even with a jig. Tried connecting PC with Odin running thinking that i can do it blindly even without anything showing on the screen. The problem is that Odin can't recognize it.
Having trawled the net for a solution to this, i am interested to see if you have any luck with this, as my note did exactly the same yesterday, although mine is stock.
Completely gutted:crying:
Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.
