[Q] Yet another HELP IM BRICKED thread

Yeah i know, another jackass that is stupid and creates another thread for this. I have had experiance with my phone going with odin and all that good stuff, so i thought i could do the same to my co-workers phone. But he didnt have the 3 button combo working so i just used adb. I got into download started odin got stuck on file anyalisis so i unplugged it... jackass mistake. even after reading all the people that say dont. so now when i power it on its just phone ! computer. NO ATT screen. so are the bootloaders fried? i doubt that cause it still powers on. No button combo will work with usb. (vol up/down -usb, vol up/down/power/ -usb) none. i have tried everything. just goes to phone ! comp. Do i really have to tell him to wait for a jig? And will a jig fix it??? Thats what i am mostly worried about. i dont wanna pay for JTAG. Thanks guys

yup a jig will work. as long as it lights up its not completely fuxxored. could also build a ghetto rigged jig from radioshack and a microUSB end too if ya'll dont wanna wait

You could also try the one click unbrick I have not used it but it may work for you. The phone is not hard bricked which would need to then be jtagged, it is only soft bricked

One click unbrick? Where? Do you mean one click Odin to go to stock? Cause that wont work unless in download mode

Yeah i tried heimdal and one click ubrick it gives me. It doesnt recognize the phone is in download or phone!computer mode

i dunno if it will work but try this: take the battery out, put it back in, plug the phone into ur pc, when the phone /!\ comp screen comes up, hold vol down + vol up + power, wait till the second time the /!\ disappears then release only the power button, you should now be in download mode

I would post in the one click unbrick thread that is still very new and should fix your situation. Adam is working pretty hard to make that compatable, and universal. Make sure you give as much info as possible about the OS platform you are trying to run it on.

As mentioned, a JIG will save you or possible the one click unbrick tool. It sounds like you don't have the Heimdall driver installed correctly as well. Good luck!

Alright so a jig will work. But I don't want to drive into town if one click will work. When I try the resolution center to install drivers Samsung composite device isn't listed so I can't. I have my captivate can I just use that to install the drivers then switch em? I thought I already had the drivers installed cause I connect mine all the time.

Alright so I got a jig and its bow in download mode. But Odin just sits at "set pit file" "do not turn off target " no status bar on the cappy either ...... now what? Its on 2.2 I want it back to stock and so I can put root and cyanogen on it.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

this has happened to me quite a few times, try opening odin BEFORE you plug in your cappy in download mode

Hahahaha oh my gosh after I got it into download mode I couldn't get Odin to recognize. But that's because even though adb cmd was exited. It was still in the background process. Therefore blocking Odin. I did it! With your guys help. Thanks guys. Oh and Josh I bought one of your jigs from mobile tech videos. just to help out.

[BRICKED AGAIN !] Black screen, no bootscreen, no detection

Yesterday after unbricked my note from lpy brick (for the 5th time), I tried to flash a stock rom with a pit file (found somewhere on xda, special 16gb pit file for restoring bricked device) but the flash stuck at the begginning so I unplugged it.
Now my phone is unable to go in Download mode, recovery mode neither normal mode.

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file

Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.

USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...

I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?

Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?

[Q] Galaxy Note turns on but black screen.

maybe someone here can help? the other day i was using facebook on my phone and it died, so naturally i put it on the charger not thinking much of it, come back later and try and turn it on. it makes noises, vibrates, and the two buttons at the bottom light up but nothing come up on the screen. its just black. it wasnt rooted and was running on stock, although im not sure what version, i think gingerbread. ive tried pulling the battery many times, and tried getting it to bootin into the recovery stuff. any help on this would be much appreciated.

try this out and let me know

You do not have that Samsung logo when you try to power on phone? Do factory reset if you can, in recovery.

So you can go to download mode, but can't turn on the phone or go to recovery coz you only get the vibration, which suggest (ofc, lol) the phone won't even properly boot?
Everytime my battery is near zero and the phone shuts itself down and near total death, that's what happens. It just vibrates but nothing happen. IMHO, I don't think that you're facing bootloop or anything.
In your case, you said that you charged it and by the time you wakes up it's a goner. I would recommend trying a new battery for now. Your current one might be dead as in broken or something. Trying a new battery won't hurt.

I have the same problem, but a little different. I've thinked that was battery problem as you, i've bought a new battery, but nothing is changed. I was running JetMod. When my phone has low battery and than shut down i try to recharge it but doesn't work anything! if i try to turn it on it only vibrates (with black screen, nothing happened). The only thing that can i do is go to download mode, but for a few time becouse after 10 sec it shut down, so i think that it has not been charged.. I observe, when it was alive, when i try to charged it, that not many time he started recharging, i don't know why.. i've tried different plugs or with computer but it works only when it wants to..

ok, thank you.

I had same issue when i changed governor: cable plugged but battery don't charge ( i think )
Going to sleep, wake up and founded phone discharged.( when power up i had black screen and little vibration )
Remove battery, wait, insert battery, plug power cable, and wait if you see the battery logo charging.
Then Boot your phone.
If this not work ask to Samsung assistance

I don't know why, but i think is governor ( i use no frill cpu ), i tried some days ago to replicate the issue, changed governor to pegasusq , after some hours i plugged the power cable, but phone don't charge.( the power icon show me the battery in charge but % don't moving ).
Rolled to ondemand and interactive governer and problem go away.
I had only a good luck finding the solution.
This with cocore kernel 4.4 with 5 i haven't try... but is a very good kernel.

[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?

If you can't enter download mode then you should get a USB jig.

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.

if you have completely bricked the phone you may have to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330491&highlight=usb+jig

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?
