so i rooted my phone installed rom manager and flashed something like colckwork rom of hawai mini i switched of my mobile.Today in morning when i tried to tun it on it wont only a black screen no sound no logo no vibration I even tried to remove and insert battery but no luck.I think its a hard brick i got this mobile on 28 feb 2011 and it is still under 1 year warrenty of samsung so can i get a new mobile in place of it or just recover it.(I have the UK system here noot of USA)
can you tell me any way to unbrick it any any one
I have done something similar to my Samsung Vibrant. Rooted and was in process of installing new ROM when on restart got a screen that has Vibrant at the top of screen and Samsung on the bottom of screen then a blank black screen and then goen into a vibrating loop of single vibrate and then another single vibrate and then a triple vibrate and then it starts the loop over again. The only thing I can do is pull the battery to stop it. Anyone know of any thing I can do to correct this or to revert the ROM or anything?
Thank you

Take it to T-Mobile and say when you turned it on it was like this and they might send it off to be replaced.
i hate those people who wanna pay their insurance for their silly things and fails!
i hope, tmobile won't take it back.
let's see..it's really hard to brick a phone though.
had some problems with my further hd2 as well..yeah, you get really annoyed but if you chill out, in 99% of the cases you'll find a solution.

so guys i live in india here it is called galaxy pop i went to samsung service center and there they replaced my motherboard for free cause it was still in warranty .I will get it next tuesday
I have this model, too. But it is called GT-S5570. It works fine, but i bought it network lock. Have you succeded unlock it?
Had the same, the solution is simple:
Download the newest firmware at samfirmware.com
Use Odin Multi Downloader to upload the firmware to your mobile
(mobile needs to be in download mode, this should still work. Try volume down + home + power)
Just upload the clean firmware and it should be done. The complete guide is placed on the same website on the download page.

download mode is not available while is bricked, changing the firmware is NOT an option.

(I don't have this problem, but...)
And I, I hate little brained guys who says f***king silly things like you. You're not just a little german, you're also a big sucker.
I swear you will have a problem with your phone, and no solution. Really I wish you that.
For other people who has this problem, don't worry, your phone is frozen, so they can't diagnose it. Just say you was syncronizing with Kies, and it happend the phone turned off and that's impossible to restart it. They'll just give you a new one or repair it.
HI
try these ways
it works with my galaxy s
Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector,
the last thing u can try is the jigs

Man that volume up and down doesn't support if you have a completely hard bricked phone .
And the jig does works but why use your penny if xda developed a unbricker wich really works for free
I prefer xda undricker the best

Hello guys.I have a galaxy mini and i tried to root it.Everything went fine.Then i saw that an application "Rom manager" would be helpful for my phone.
So i installed it(like an idiot).
Then i tried to install clockwork mode (smthg like that from rom manager) and boom!Everything went black.
I tried to go into recovery mode,download mode NOTHING.
I tried to a lot of things but nothing is working.
Odin recognises my phone when i use volume up+home+end!But it stucks on setup.Again tried to do it in that way but still nothing.
Last i tried that jig thing.I bought 3x100k ohm resistors and do it like he says(that video from youtube) BUT STILL NOTHING.
I dont know what to do!
I would be gratefull if some1 could give me an advice to make it to turn on!
Tyyy.
This is exactly what happened to me too. Did Service centre repair it for free ? What did you tell them ? Please help. ITs urgent/ Bricked black screen.

This!!!
rooted phone!! installed Titanium Backup pro, rom-manager (though i didnt use it).
First i removed yahoofinance.apk thingy... it went black but recovered to charging mode (battery charging screen)... odd i thought.. and (like a idiot) booted up and removed livebackground forest thingy... now!
Pitch black, no state of recovery.
Just thist:
Vol up, home and power button. makes it visible to windows and odin.. KIES failes to connect it...
Its almost like... i got one first warning.. and then samsung decided to **** me!
is it somekind of "security lock"?, its not like i removed the kernel.
EDIT: so.. im messing around... The only thing that one really gets comunication with is the modem circuits, so it looks that way... But then what do i know...
ODIN connects to the same com-port as the samsung modem reports having in device manager!, so i asume this is unit it uses to when transfering the data, flashing.
Other: i get some different behaviors... etc, i would use "volup, home and power" to make it visible in win and then i could just use the power button to get the connection on and off (or rather reset! since i just one time got it to actually stay disconnected).
Now on the other hand i cant use the just the "Vol up" button combo, i have to press both Vol up and down with pwr and home to get it to connect with drivers and show up in ODIN etc..
In some cases u have to have battery unpluged and show it in while holding button combo and sometimes u dont..
I cant make out anything out of this, but maby some of u guys can!?
Rom Manager screwed your phone. Not uninstalling forest wallpaper.
I got my phone hard bricked because of ROM manager. I have given it to the service center. Waiting for them to fix it.

If the phone is hard bricked (no download mode, no battery charge indicator when power plugged in), you really do not have a choice.
While people claim to be able to use jtag / USB jig (see the only thread started by me in the accesories section of this miniforum), I do not have clear answers in that thread.

That jig thing doesnt work..pfff
I've tried to put a new ROM using Clockwork Recovery 6.0.1.2, during process it stuck for 4 hours and was turned off by power button.
After that tab don't react on power button, on pwr+vol up, pwr+vol down, pwr+ both vol buttons, nothing.
It even doesn't show battery icon when charging - screen is always black.
Any advices?
Thanks in advance.
I think the method described here will do the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478361
kallt_kaffe is having the same problem and he describes the procedure as: "basically tape down the power button to force a reboot cycle."

1. Put on your computer headphones and turn the volume up.
2. Plug your tablet into your computer via USB.
3. Hold the power button & Vol - keys together (Volume - is the side that is closest to the power button)
4. Listen for the "USB device connected" or "USB device disconnected" sound on your PC
5. If you can hear that, something has gone bad within the bootloader and the display does not initialize properly. Edit: The ICS installation does indeed attempt to patch the bootloader
6. If there is no sound, then the tablet is stuck in limbo, so go ahead and do the battery drain procedure as described in the above post.
7. If, however, your computer detects a device connecting and makes the sound, you can most likely still enter Download mode. You will have to do it blindfolded though:
-open ODIN 1.85 and see if it shows a connected device. If your PC made a connected sound, then there will most likely be a yellow COM port in ODIN.
- Hold [Power] & [Volume Down] together for 15 seconds or longer whilst monitoring your Device Manager windows to see if you can get the tablet out of APX mode and have it appear as another type of Device. Then press Volume+ several times with 1.5 sec. intervals. With luck, this should get you into Download mode, and ODIN will shine yellow for you.
- While doing all of the above keep your headphones on and listen for connected or disconnected sounds from your PC.
- Make sure you have this firmware for the P7300 which contains a bootloader, which is essential: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/162686792/c693269/P7300ZSKK2_P7300ZZHKK2_TGY.zip.html
- Flash with "Bootloader update" checked in ODIN and see if device is resuscitated. If the tablet boots, it will be in Hong-Kongish, but just select a language you recognize from the dropdown, it has them all.
- It may be a good idea to also throw in a .pit file and check Repartiton
N.B. The firmware link that I have provided is for the Tab 8.9 3G P7300 only! Do not flash it on another version of the 8.9!
You will need to search for a firmware that contains a bootloader.bin.md5 file for your tablet model.
Again, all of this will only be possible if the device registers with your PC on connecting the USB cable.

Ok, I've disassembled the device, and removed a battery connector for a time.
Didn't help though.
When I'm connecting tab to PC and holding pwr+vol_down, I hear that connect-disconnect sound and there is a device called
NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices blinking in Device Manager with those sounds.
Odin shows no yellow com, all are empty, so download mode is not available.
you are stuck in APX mode , First go to this link and follow the instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574]
if you get this in nvflash :
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
this means your device is locked and the battery draining is that last thing that might work for you .
i still didn't try it, but i only disconnected the battery and connect it again but my device still dead for a month now .

I'm getting exactly what you posted:

and right after that tab disconnects from pc and disappear from devices list.
is it possible, that some Samsung Service Center will help me? I think that what I did voids the warranty, but anyway, I'm in Ukraine and getting official support here is almost mission impossible.

unfortunately the sbk (secure boot key) for locked Samsung devices is unknown and i was hoping that someone will be able to provide it since it's now increasing problem for 8.9 and 10.1 tabs especially after ics update . actually this is well known mode(apx) with all Nvidia Tegra devices such as acer a100 tablet and asus transformer ee pad but developers there were able to find the sbk for these devices .
if you are covered by warranty and the battery drain method didn't solve the problem you should go to Samsung and good luck . i am not covered by warranty and the only solution i found after connecting Samsung here in Egypt is replacing the mainboard costing almost as a new device (even Samsung couldn't fix it) .

Sounds like they want to get your cash.
If things went to sh*t software-wise, they can be fixed the same way.
They could just UART into the board and restore the bootloader. I don't have to expertise to do it, but they should have it.

1-7 okay. And device is "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", not APX (because i installed special driver).
But nothing happend when i try to enter Download mode.
USB Disconnect > Connect > Pressing power and vol button for ~7 seconds (why 15+?.. So 15 i tried too) > Sound > Pressing V+ 10 times... Nothing glows in Odin.

I had a broken bootloader and my display was dead the same way all of youse with bricked tabs describe.
It appears that in your case the bootloader is so badly messed up, that a fail-safe kicks in and sends the tab into APX mode directly.
Consider disassembling your device to disconnect the battery, press Power a few times with ti disconnected and keep it disconnected for a minute or so to force discharge of all capacitors, then reconnecting and attempting a reboot.
Disassembly is really easy - get a plastic knife and stick it under the display near the charging port and work your way around the whole unit. The entire display comes out of the back cover. Flip the display around and there you will notice where the battery connects to the main board, unplug the connector.
Have you tried?
And wut i must do after that?
---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------
Disassemble, disconnect battery, press power, short + and - (on device, not on battery lol)... After that connect battery and connect via usb ... the same. cant enter download menu.(

Hi, may I know what new ROM did you flash? And your previous ROM before flashing. So that we can all avoid that ROM until somebody can fix this mess cause by brickbug. Thanks.
Nah. Samsung service sucks.
They said that motherboard should be replaced.
I don't understand how software problem couldn't be fixed w/o hardware replacement.
Screw that, I'll go get Nexus 7.

Actually it turns out to be the problem with CWM 6.0.1.2. You should use 6.0.0.8 or less.

Hello everyone..
I broke my phone (i9000) screen flex.. and ordered a brand new screen.. i wait about 2 month to have got the new screen..
as soon as it arrived i replace the old one.. screen working without any problem.. but i couldn't manage to open the phone..
power button appears to not working.. if i connect to the charger i can see the battery icon, but i cant wake up the phone..
please help me..
I would suggest that you open the phone again...take the battery out and pull the rear- or middle cover away again (unscrew that 6 or 8 screws). Then insert battery again and try to start the phone by pushing direct onto the inside "powerbutton". I got this managed with my fingernails but perhaps a small tool will help for example a pencil or something like that.
If its starting then, you just have to adjust the inner powerbutton better to that small frame, so that the external powerbutton does it meet better by pressing it.
Fisrt of all, thank you for the reply..
The phone is separated to the parts.. i try your suggestion.. nothing happened..
i try to link the two base pin of the power switch with a cable.. still nothing happend..
something strange is happening but i can't understand..
update..
I start up the phone..
But the power key isn't working.. I can't take to the sleep mod with power key..
How can i boot it up.. I made a jig with 300k ohm.. then pluged in to the phone.. than it opened to the download mode..
I try to flash a new rom, but computer said "device don't connected".. I give up than unplug the jig.. Suddenly phone powered up..
So i don't know how i powered it up.. but it is working..
I still have an issue.. Please help me about non working power key..
I don't think your power key problem is software or rom related....there should be something mechanical or electrical wrong.
I made the same experience when i unplugged the usb jig...phone starts automatically (sometimes), think this unplugging causes a sort of electrical bridge between the contacts and so the phone starts.
To get in recovery mode there is an app in play store, called: reboot to recovery (root). With that you will get in CWM...i do not know anymore whether it also has an option: reboot to download mode, but therefore you will have your jig, if necessary.
I'm already using a cm rom.. So i can boot to recovery easily.. Updated to the lastest nightly..
I agree with you about the problem source.. But i don't know how to fix this..
I can open the phone with this jig methot.. but this is not working every attempt.. I need to fix problem..
Ok so this will be my second post, no one replied to my first.
Will try to explain what the problem is. in as much detail as I can.
Please help me out guys !
So, tab was in debug mode, messed up using odin, trying to root, not sure what went wrong there and gave up.
Rest of the day tab worked fine.
During the night it was not turned off but left on charger, icon showing.
I listen to audio book while falling asleep
When I woke up, pressed on and nothing, black screen
Panic and frustration followed.
New charge cable, black screen
Searched internet, did the button combo's , took back off, disconnected battery, drained battery, still black screen.
Disconnected all cables inside, reconnected, black screen
Conncted to win7 pc, by holding down power and vol down, pc sees unknown device in APX mode.
Installed various drivers, all I could find that might work, installed and seen in device manager.
Followed nvflash guides, get an error usb write failed.
List devices command, nothing appears.
Installed Samsung Kies. cant connect , using different drivers also.
Odin cant see the device either. Pdanet installed, same outcome.
Also the sdk route, always no device found
I havent got new battery yet, cant afford one at the moment.
With everything I tried it always comes down to device not being seen even though it does appear in device manager.
Installed usbdevieuw software , check the properties, it does say 0mA , which is different to when I check my usb keyboard or mouse, they do have power 90mA etc. which is weird.
I have read and tried just about everything concerning my specific device. I am stuck.
No idea what to try next.
I understood that apx = download mode., which would be fine if I could see something on the tab screen. I know that normally when into download mode you have to use vol up to cross over to the right icon.
So, power + vol down... wait till its in device manager on pc, then vol up. Tried this, seeing as the screen is black I just waited a bit and then vol up, guess work actually.
Anyway, if someone has any ideas etc please let me know.
Thank You All
Try This

Conncted to win7 pc, by holding down power and vol down, pc sees unknown device in APX mode.
Installed various drivers, all I could find that might work, installed and seen in device manager.
Followed nvflash guides, get an error usb write failed.
List devices command, nothing appears.
Installed Samsung Kies. cant connect , using different drivers also.
Odin cant see the device either. Pdanet installed, same outcome.
Also the sdk route, always no device found
I havent got new battery yet, cant afford one at the moment.
With everything I tried it always comes down to device not being seen even though it does appear in device manager.
Installed usbdevieuw software , check the properties, it does say 0mA , which is different to when I check my usb keyboard or mouse, they do have power 90mA etc. which is weird.
I have read and tried just about everything concerning my specific device. I am stuck.
No idea what to try next.
I understood that apx = download mode., which would be fine if I could see something on the tab screen. I know that normally when into download mode you have to use vol up to cross over to the right icon.
So, power + vol down... wait till its in device manager on pc, then vol up. Tried this, seeing as the screen is black I just waited a bit and then vol up, guess work actually.
Anyway, if someone has any ideas etc please let me know.
Thank You All

This same thing happened to me a while back...I used a program called Root With Restore by Bin4ry v18. Look it up, I think it might help you.

Thank you !! for responding. I did as you suggested, Its cool software.
that being said, no matter what option I choose I get The system cannot find the path specified. To me that means that the tablet cannot be entered even though it does show up in device manager samsung android phone> android adb interface.
I mailed samsung help desk and got a reply saying, take it to your nearest samsung repair store. .. THEY can fix it......as I expected they would say.
Im still wondering if the battery is causing the problems. As screen is black, when on charger stays black.
However if the tab is seen on my pc, does this mean tab has power?????
I have no idea how to test the battery without replacing it.
Im guessing tab is fully bricked and if so would that explain the no battery charging icon??? and lack of any other screens lol :laugh:
Anyway, I have learnt so much from reading this forum. I admire the great work and assistence provided.
Guess my tab problem is either too easy to provide a fix for or hardly no one has a clue how to fix my tab :silly:
Please respond and help me out!!!
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful
Regards,
