Bricked Captivate.

need help xda...
I was flashing to stock 2.2 using odin one click.
My phone will NOT
turn on
boot to recovery
or boot to download screen.
I have currently sent it to samsung to get it fixed, and it is under warranty.
But i believe they will return it without a repair because ive heard this voids the warranty.
Help? any suggestions

well I guess you just wait and see...

You should (have told?)tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and the power went out, crashing your desktop PC. This will not void your warranty.

yeah.. i did i told them i was doing an ota update and the power went out. hopefully it works out.

you cannot brick a galaxy s phone..... you should have done some research on this forum... i just now got thru making a jig and forced my phone into download mode , ou could have easily done the same.... i also had a failed flash with odin on my captivate

I think, Samsung will repair it or will give you a replacement (refurbished)...if not than..
If it is from ATT then tell them that you were upgrading to Froyo and followed instructions on the ATT website...but some how it was dead in between....as you have warranty on it for one year
They will replace (will give u refurb phone) it..I got two replacements lol
Refurb phone are better then dead paper weight...so try your luck

you are wrong, it can be bricked. I was doing Odin and my battery went dead (a very stupid mistake done by me)..There is no hope if the phone is completely not responsive....not even Jig will work...

well, i wanted to see if samsung would fix it first, and if they do for free its something i wont have to worry about...
I am posting here as a way to ensure that in the off chance that they dont fix the phone that i have a back up plan...
plan c is to get the nexus one. lol

Just to add to your post;
If you get any sign of life (light, vibration or any kind of image) then it's not bricked all you'll need is a JIG (you can build one for very cheap).
If that's not the case.. Well back to Trusselo's post

my suggestion is to try this first:

A JTAG is a module that will shoot the boatloaders in your phone. It has to be plugged directly to your phone's board so I suggest you get someone weith experience to do it.
I know that AdamOutler (sorry if I miss spelled) from Team Komin (A3) and Connexion2005 were offering JTAG services for free (for testing purpose). I this point, you have nothing to lose. Your phone is indeed bricked.
Here's a nice thread that will explain what happened: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049294

ohh ok so what if i install a 2.3.3 form and flash cognition are my files corrupt?

Depends.
how did you proceed?
I mean, you can use the 2.3 boatloaders on 2.2 ROMs but you need to flash back to stock using Odin. Even then, it doesn't always work and you've a good chance of bricking your phone.
EDIT: Thx Studa.. was typing too fast lol

Odin one click replaces both bootloaders bro.
To keep the gb bootloaders you use full odin with .tar files that don't contain ANY bootloaders.

omg i feel slow its it the phone or the battery?
strate answer please

The phone.

Cognition contains the sbl.bin (secondary bootloader) you flashed directly from gingerbread so now you have a gingerbread boot.bin and a froyo/eclair sbl.bin.
In short completely bricked.
Jtag debricking is your only out.

Ok i just got my RMA phone and thats the last time im romming

Thats the risk you assume when you try flashing roms when you have apparently done little to no research...

If all you get when you put your battery in out is a black screen and the keys on the bottom do not light up, it is hard bricked. I did it on friday. Took it into warranty center. They swapped battery and same result. 10 minutes later I walked out with a "new" phone.

[Q] Stock boot logo (:POP" - not "mini") wanted

Can one of you Indian users here please tell me which is the stock rom in India (preferably with output of *#12345#)?
Anybody know how to get back the "pop" boot animation?
The background:-
I have to take my phone to the ASS. The (loud) speaker wont work, ever since it returned from hard brick. Since I was busy, did not bother to fix it then, instead went ahead and ... what else .... of course, rooted it and am currently running tj's CM 7.1.
Of course, I have tried stock "asia" firmware from samfirmware. (Z5ska something).
But, it shows the "mini" logo. When the phone came out it was running Froyo. And showed "GT S5570 POP" while booting; now it shows "GT S 5570 mini" at boot time. And the buggered ROM boots into Chinese / Greek / Korean / Japanese / whatever. And is much more difficult than the Russian (where escaping from the initial language is much more easier).
Since the phone is working, it is important that it is as close to stock as possible before it take it to the a/s/s/.
PS:- have tried the "press on the speaker" and "play a long video for 2 hours or more" fixes; but that has not helped fixing the loud speaker problem. So, if you can help fe fix this, it will be still fine. :-D Otherwise, the phone is working fine.

its DDKA7 from sammobile.com Thats the India Stock POP rom. dude I bricked my phone. Black screen. My phone is 2 months old and I have the bill with the warranty . Will Service center fix the phone for free? what should I tell them >? Please help.

I am a bit confused by this. Did you mean that you bricked your phone using the DDKA7 ROM??
Or that DDKA7 is the ROM I should use; and rest of the post is a question to me?
Please clarify.
Regarding bricked phone, first try the "blind ODIN" way - prepare ODIN, take out battery, with vol down + middle + power pressed, put in the battery with somebody elese's help - and try flashing - even if ODIN does not recognise the phone.
Some people claim success with that.
On how to deal with the service center - yes - play dumb. Though initially did not work with me, (they made me agree to pay for the mobo), they finally replaced the mobo free. The sound issue persists.

DDKA7 is stock rom. I dint brick my phone caus of that.
I bricked my phone caus of ROM manager on android market.

OK. Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks guys. Went stock. Took it to the service center. They say will return phone after a week - the speaker is bust. So, let us wait.

I gave my phone to the service centre. I had a rooted phone with custom rom. It got completely bricked caus of ROM manager. The service centre ppl said they will have to change the motherboard. I ll get back my phone on thursday. Hope everything goes fine.
DONT USE ROM MANAGER ! IT SUCKS!

Let us hope they keep their word. I had to wait for 45 days. And 7-8 visits. And every time, 2/3 people were venting their rage at hapless staffers for non receipt of phones because the center did not get requisite parts.

Not on stock ROM. It works fine on custom roms - esp. CM 7.1 and other ROMs based on tj_style's CM. I have not used it though, even on CM 7.1.

Hard Bricked Galaxy Note GT-N7000 - Possible Fix?

Hello!
During flashing leaked kernel my phone was on soft brick, I wiped cache partition and data in CWM. This was the end of my beloved Note, it is 100% dead and none of the possible fixes posted works so far.
I have heard there is a possible fix by re partitioning and connection the phone in Linux environment, this way the computer reads the phone and can be fixed by repartitioning and could get into download mode. Please let me know if anybody confirms this.
Alternatively, what is the next step. My phone is still under warranty but I am scared if Samsung would find out the history of rooting or as my Phone is 100% dead they would not be able to find out, confused.......
If the motherboard needs to be replaced, how much would it cost, where should I take and most important if my phone recovers can I still play around with custom ROMs?
Look forward to suggestions bring my phone live as I purchased it on loan and it brings immense pain to pay emi for a dead phone.
Regards,
AK

Even it bricked by emmc bug, there shud be download mode still available
-First try to get other charged battery (or charge yours) and try to put in download mode, and look to Lt upper corner what is your flash score. If it is zero, simply reclain warranty.
-Otherwise try this

Thanks. I tried using charged batteries but still does not get into Download Mode also after reading somewhere I tried to connect using Odin assuming screen would be black but Odin detects. Even this did not work
So, no way of getting DM or looking at binary count.

Your phone is under warranty yet you are asking for costs? Those "recovery" method will give you a "crippled" device in terms of mem capacity.
So go and claim warranty. They wont know anything since your phone is totally dead anyway.

Hey, I just cam back from SS service. they said it could be a motherboard issue and they are replacing the motherboard.
Does that mean they would install the Stock Rom from fresh, I am sure yes.
Waiting for my recovered phone and educating myself to safely play around with custom ROMs.
One last question, which is the best stable custom ROM available for Galaxy Note, in terms of UI and better battery life?
Many Thanks.

Congrats on the replacement;
Custom ROM's are kind of personal preference, Best bet is to do your research now while you wait and you can decide for yourself which features you like / want / need in a ROM..
Suggestions to check would be ParanoidAndroid / CleaNote from my point of view, I've tried both but still run Stock ICS with custom Kernel.. Suits my needs...

while gaming, my phone suddenly hang and i decide to restart the device itself. upon booting, i am stuck at the "samsung" logo. I have tried flashing stock rom and kernel but to no avail. i can still go into download mode and recovery mode. Anybody know whats gone wrong?
And if i send for waranty, it is a one to one exchanged?

what is the current rom on your phone? have you tried going to recovery and wiping dalvik cache? still same thing? If it is, worst case you can try (since both Recovery and Download works still) is to wipe data in recovery and restart your phone again(Don't try doing this if your using an infected kernel and/or in ICS Rom)
Going back,
You have a soft bricked phone.. Why would you exchange it for warranty? you can easily fix your issue without returning it to Samsung.

Same problem...pls HELP !!!
I tried to install a custom rom and then the horror began. I can't turn it on geto to download or recovery mode.. I sent it to service because I still have a warranty but I don't know will they see the history of installed roms. The man I talked to said to me that they can do it but I read a comment that it is impossible to see so I got a hope. They also told me that it could be about motherboard and that they will do everything they can to save it. I am really afraid of losing my Note. I hope you guys will help me and tell me sth good.. I am also interested is it possible to fix it with usb jig. ?
thanks, my regards..

Already it's with samsung. If they cant do anything to revive, its a motherboard replacement.

Don't worry, if it is with samsung alrd. They'll sure give you replacement of the motherboard if they can't do anything to your existing one. This is considered as the "manufacturing fault", and therefore, they must be able to replace it.
1st few batches, N7000 came out under gingerbread 2.3.6 technology, and it worked very well without the eMMC brick bug. It is happened only when they upgrade to ICS, with their own stock kernel, which triggered the brick bug.
So long as they are delaying the fix for their own stock kernel with the eMMC brick bug removed, I think samsung is still liable to give replacement to user, no matter what you did to your device. As long as it is eMMC brick bug, and you have your warranty.
Why ?
very simple... Even most of the samsung sales person on their respective outlets, they know a lil bit or perhaps don't know at all about this bug. Unless the sales person is those who likes to play with handphone like most of us here.
And if they do know... they won't tell you as well about this bug. Otherwise, will you buy it ? :fingers-crossed:
So as a consumer, we have the right to be replaced if the bug has been triggered due to factory reset / wipe of data, since no one told us about this. **peace**.
Really do hope you get your replacement once they call you to take your phone.
Good Luck !

Bricked N7000

Hi guys, here's the story... I'm using ice cream sandwich 4.0.4 stock rom and attempted to upgrade it to jelly bean. I downloaded the custom firmware slimbean 4.2.2 for n7000. I rooted my note first using exynos apk file and it was successful. I placed the downloaded rom with gapps on my external memory and began puttng the phone to recovery mode. I flashed the slimbean and it says that it was installing so I thought everything is working fine and then suddenly the phone shuts down and it wont turn on anymore. I have tried several attempts getting the phone into download mode or recovery mode but no luck. Phone is not booting anymore. Yes, no splashscreen or whatever just blackscreen and its totally DEAD. I made my own jig and thinking this might work for me but unfortunately phone is not reacting but when I tried putting the jig on my s3 its working fine so its not the jig but the phone and when I observed the phone when battery is on, the phone gets hot meaning my phone is not totally dead. My battery has a charge so its not the battery at all. I've seen several article about this jtag thingy but dont have any idea how much will this cost but not planning to buy the jtag tool because I wanted to take it to a local repairshop here in the Philippines but i dont know how much will it cost me. Can someone please help me? Im really seeking for assistance here because warranty is already expired.

Yeah.. you flashed using stock recovery and stock kernel... ERROR
There will only be 2 options > try JTAG ( not 100%) or a motherboard replacement. JTAG is much cheaper that Mobo replacement,.

Not 100% for jtag? Aaaw. Im hoping not the MoBo.

Hi, the same thing happend to me on the n7000 of a collegue of mine. I already found a shop that can try a jtag. It costs about 50 euros. He said to take the phone to him and after he looks at it he will be able to tell me if he is able to repair it or not :| I'll keep you posted about the results. This n7000 was on 4.0.3 but the same slimbean rom. Imagine, it isn't even my phone. Hope i don't have to buy her another one :| If this goes well, or even if not, i am not touching any other phone again in my life !!! except mine ofc. :| Hope you will recover yours. GL to us both.

The thing is: why didn't you think about this before doing this? Do you have an insurance?
Maybe you should record the next meeting with your "friend".
Did you try the e2fsck check in hg42's thread? This helped in a few cases, maybe you are a lucky one.
Or the repartition trick? But you should inform your friend about the consequences.

Repartition?
I am stucked with no boot ...... Odin mode look like working but PC can not detect it when connected......
what should I try?
I installed that kernel v13.04.23 (former t8) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/maxfuacm/files/Galaxy Note/MaxFu_HydraCore/
mmmmm
---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------
When I boot to Odin mode and I connect usb to PC or Mac - there is nothing happens....
The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it(((( BUT here it DOES NOT SEE MY NOTE connected.....

i had this problem two weeks ago...if you are still on warranty send it they will replace it for you if not you have to replace it because jtag doesn't always work

I sent it to a repairshop. They've tried jtag'ing it using medusa but there's always an error 18. Technician said that it might be the emc or just a jtag error. Im sending it again for second opinion to other tech.
