It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.
Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.
reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

thanks, im not going to be upset if people make fun, they can do it because i was so stupid not to see that the soft is for another phone and brake it with my own hand. Isn't on this forum someone that works for Samsung and can tell me for sure what to do , or if the service can do ?

if we´d have this guy here, the galaxy s would be worlds top android device out of the box, since this guy would perfectly know what the problems are with it and could easily manage to incorporate fixes found here or based on testing people made here...

i was not referring to a developer from samsung or an engineer, i was asking for a guy that works in a Samsung service, and could tell me if my problem can be resolved in the service.

Why don't you just call them and ask yourself?
Im sorry but you screwed up. Im sure samsung can fix it but charge you heaps of money. You could always "loose" your phone if you have insurance

Well there is a way of getting your phone working by putting a file on your sd card but you'd have to look for that .

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

im sure samsung can fix it evan by changing the sd in the phone with the correct soft will solve it, but i want to see if there is another way of doing it
Would love to know how many people have bricked their notes.Is it just an odd few or are there 100s.Has anyone had repairs ,unbricked or replaced by their carrier?
I too would like to know this.
Ok
Soft brick? I am sure there are tons, me included, a proper brick brick after which you use the phone for a coaster, don't think so many, though I have one of those too (shattered display).
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was nearly impossible to brick an Android phone? When I was learning to flash and so on with my SGS, I certainly bollocked it up a lot of times (ah... misadventures with using incorrect files...). I have always been able one way or another been able to get back in and mend the damage.
With the Note, Download mode is hardwired in so I thought it would be difficult indeed to properly brick it. That said, I haven't done much with the SGN yet since it's my daily device and I leave it alone. (@torqu3e, I don't think shattered screens count towards the typical definition of 'bricked' do they? I thought it was a software f-up )
When someone says brick, I think of a phone that just won't turn on and is completely useless...but in many people's cases recently, the partition tables have been messed up and the phone is as good as useless. It no longer holds its function as an Android device. So yes, add me to the list of "bricked" Notes out there.
I got a hard brick! :-( It's in the shop..

Sharing wat you did to brick your phone might help others prevent it.This is not only to you but to all who's gonna report here....
I was talking more about bricking from flashing that dodgy ics ROM.Anyone unbricked or had it fixed under warranty.
Add me to the list. I bricked when I flashed a kernel that messed up the partition tables. Its at the service now.
one more to the list
i need to sent mine to the US
I faced a soft brick when i was flashing ics betas (mobile to pc screen) but fixed it by flashing stock rom then flashed back ics!

You should've made this a poll - feels a bit silly responding 'never bricked'

In ODIN while trying to flash CF-Root ICS progress bar froze on Factoryfs flash and after 30 minutes I unplugged it. Phone at this point wont restart turn on or anything. Didn't respond to JIG to go into download mode so I took it to a service center in Southern California. They tried fixing it with JTAG and it didn't respond. It is Kernel related. I got some sort of good news today from the service center that they may have found a solution and are receiving a new tool to do the trick. I am crossing my fingers and waiting for the next phone call from them that if they could get my phone up and running again!!

If u want to test that it is really not a hardware problem,
try flashing another rom to see if the problem persists or not..
If it persists then its the problem of ur touchscreen so take it to sony service center.They will get it repaired...
flash another rom to make sure,but if it is shown when you are running different apps and even in cwm i guess its hardware problem...

some times there is a screen cut if you are in high frequency.
anyway if its your screens problem there are some cheap in ebay..
If It is a Hardware Problem... Than Just Replace the Touch pad it Should Cost you Around 20$ to 25$(2nd Quality)
I had the Same Problem & Replaced the Touch Pad Now it Works Good For Me..!!
Yeah but i can't buy on Ebay and where i live is much more expensive...its will be the half of the price of a new phone.
But thanks anyway!
Send from My Xperia™X8
yeah...
maybe you can flash with another ROM
always flash the kernel and the other..after that try to wipe data
hope it can help to solve your problem
Have you consulted a service center? And maybe find out if it's a hardware issue (it probably is ) and maybe get an estimate on how much it would cost to fix it?
Worst case scenario: buy a new phone but don't throw away your x8 so you can stay active here. That's what i'd do.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Do you have the warranty still active? maybe you can fix it for free.
No,i have the phone around 1 year and 5 months,no more warranty.I tryed to change kernel+ROM and nothing.By now i will assume thats a hardware problrm and 'll try to dissasembly and see what i can do... hope its simple!
Well I really hope you will repair it successfully...hope for the best and good luck

Well,no way i could fix it,the problem is inside the display and only a new one would work,sadly i will need to buy a new phone.Thats it.Thanks everybody who tryied to help and goodbye!

2nd thread, search please before posting. Also check out the movie the grinch.
turn off your powersaving apps and change your screen settings powersaving mode.
Please can you attach a photo? We can't tell you if its a hardware problem, energy save config or a kind of bug. When you turn on your phone, the green tint is still in the bootscreen? or just when the phone powers on completly?. We need more info please! Good luck! Sorry my bad english!

Some screenshots attatched !! Crazy thing is dat when i check the screenshots they are good.......No green whatsoever !! I also made one of the settings with my webcam , see the difference.

is the word Galaxy note also displayed in green when you first turn on the phone?
the galaxy note moniker is part of the bootloader ,the samsung moniker is part of the kernel and the OS.
if you get a clean Galaxy note splash screen then maybe there is hope ,but if not then I think that confirms it's a hardware thing.
best of luck.

I guess you know but just to be sure...you really should bring it back to stock rom and kernel first and check your binary counter. Otherwise you won't have any warranty.
My note became awfull yellowish over time and 'luckily' also had a heavy burn in problem. Send the device in 'as stock' and my screen was replaced under warranty without questions.
btw. my experience with the Sammy service center was good, received the device back within a week.
S'pose you don't like Shrek to huh.....oeps...sorry...couldn't resist.....
Good news,
My screen is going to be replaced under warranty without questions!! They took a look at my Note and said : Oh we have to replace the screen.........that simple!!

Custom Rom r superrrrrr
Happy Flashing
good service example, you went straight to Samsung service centre?
definitely an LCD issue. You know its not the rom when it's green before the rom starts. And since the screen shot is digital, it won't show you green if it's the LCD.
