[Q] any solution for this brick?

my captivate cannot turn on at all
NO galaxy s, NO atnt screen, NOTHING
dead like without battery (but i am sure the battery is half full cos i tried it on another phone)
computer won't recognize it when usb plugged
cannot charge at all, no charging screen
SO NO download mode, NO recovery mode
tried all those remove sim, remove sd, remove battery, turn on odin first, connect to pc, having 3 buttons (actually all possible combinations) press, power button release, everything i could found on forum...
the only thing i didn't try yet is the 301k resistor
have a fd making that for me, will try that soon
but i doubt it will work since the situation looks very bad
so my question is...
has anyone with the EXACT symptoms, able to unbrick at last?
if u r those who able to unbrick becos ur captivate was still able to turn on
please don't reply, i really really appreciate ur help
but sorry urs wasn't really "brick"
and those solutions aren't what i looking for
if you want to know what i did...
all i did was trying to flash to Cognition v2.3b6 from a stock 2.1 following the wiki
i watched it formatting, copying files, ... , and then it try to reboot
but instead of successful reboot it stay dead forever

great...
tested even with the 301k resistor now
no luck

Yeah sorry man. Looks like you got a bad phone. Time to call att

i wish, but i didn't buy it from atnt
no receipt no shxx
and i am in canada

You know you still have the manufacturer's warranty. One year. Call Samsung and they will refurb it for ya. I got mine in Canada too. No receipt required as long as you have the original barcode on your box.

You're not holding onto the resistor with bare hands right?

I just get the same problem.
waiting for the solution too.

Have you tried a new battery?
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.

your Phone most likely not bricked.
I Actually had this same problem. I really thought my phone was bricked. I would pull the battery and put it back in and nothing but a black screen. I ended up having to go into download mode from another computer. If you do this install drivers first and try to go into download by pushing both volume up and down at the same time then plug in usb cable to computer with odin opened up.

the 301k resistor tested on my gf "still" working captivate
it works

I end up took it to some cell repair shop to fix it
they said they had to replace a chip inside
and it cost me cad$150
anyway now it's fixed
but i think i am going to sell it since i don't have much faith in it anymore
i can't keep a phone that i can't flash it just becos it might never boot again
to those who have the same problem
GOOD LUCK

Doesn't it really work with the JIG?
If it doesn't work, I would not try.
If I just give the phone back to the ATT to fix it or change another one, how much should I pay?
thanks.

if the JIG doesn't work for you, then it's really brick i guess

Thank you, I will try it.

[Q] Is my Captivate bricked? Guys, I need your help !

Hello everyone,
One day, I upgraded a ROM firmware (I don't remember which ROM exactly..) on my Captivate..
I formated everything before update (data, cache, AND system !).
During update I was making a coffee, and when I came back on the phone,
it was absolutely dead.. Only a full black screen.. Not detected on USB, just nothing.
After that, I tried everything that was possible (a lot of combo's, Odin3..)
Then, I bought a JIG, but still nothing, I tried with some different combo's (I can't remember which ones..)
Now, I would like to recover my Captivate! But.. how ?
If someone find the final good solution, I would like to donate via Paypal
Thanks, in advance!

Need more info. Which rom? Did you use 3 button fix? Have you tried adb? What about holding volume down while plugging in usb? Are you sure battery isn't just dead (dont laugh, its happened)?
If you did all that, its most likely a hard brick. There are developers here that offer JTAG service.

As I said, I don't remember the ROM. I was trying every new ROM, so, I really can't remember.. Sorry
About 3 button fix.. I don't know what it is exactly !? If it is vol down+up+Power, yes I did !
Nope, I did not try ADB.. I tried to find informations about this, but I cannot find! If you can help me about this, u'r' welcome !
Vol down does nothing..
I think my battery is still alive. Because when I plug my charger on it, it becomes a little warm after some hours, so I guess it's still alive..
I saw some JTAG infos, but I don't know what to do.. Do I need to send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA !? It's like 40$ to send a secured shipping to USA..
Thanks for trying to help me!

If a jig will not turn it back on you may need the jtag. There are threads about it.

JTAG is not something you can buy on ebay. As mrhaley said, you need to send your phone to one of the developers who offer JTAG service. They will fix it and send it back to you.

Download AIO toolbox, go to advanced and clock reboot into download mode with your phone on and it will go to download mode, no jig needed. it worked for me just now.

Thank you guys for these answers.
* The problem is that I cannot send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA,
because it's approximately 40$ fees to send it ! Then, with a return, it makes a total of 80$..
* Another problem is that I bought my captivate on eBay, and it's not under warranty..
* Maybe it remains the "ADB" solution (I never tried this), but I don't know how to connect my phone? because it stays turned off, then if I connect, I just get nothing..

Adb doesn't work unless you can get into the OS. You have a brick, jtag is your ONLY option of getting a working phone.

Ok, I understand, but .. How could i use a JTAG if I cannot send my Captivate to USA ? (too much expensive!). Thanks

It's either bricked forever or you pay for jtag. Those are your only options.

How are you at soldering? The captivate is one of the hardest phones to jtag, the solder points are smaller than the width of a dime, it would be really easy to fry the circuit board trying to jtag it yourself.

Do you think I can still sell my Captivate, for those who want to repair/fix or use parts? If I can, what kind of price? (my captivate is in perfect state, like new)

There's a user from XDA forums,Mcguyver1980. In one of his posts says he's in Belgium and can fix bricked phones. I don't know anything about this guy personally, but since you're about to scrap your phone I figured it wouldn't hurt for you to check if this guy is legit. Just make sure he understand it's a hard brick.

i will take it to samsung tomorrow and hope for best...

Please take a picture of the red dot. I wanna see it.
And maybe we can put a waterproof sticker over the red sticker so that when the phone actually does fall in water it won't turn red. Then remove the waterproof sticker and give it to the service center.

Oh you are that Delhi guy. Remember me
And for your phone.
Did you tried downloading mode. If working flash the stock rom. Then took it to Samsung guys.
But I think you should let it dry first fully and try your luck.
Better try with a dryer after removing the battery.

Yeah better let it dry first. I think putting the phone in a bowl of rice helps as well.
Edit: This might help.

Warranty is void anyway because of the awesome red dot stickers, so you could have told him since you'll be paying for the repair. But if telling CM7 is just an app worked then that is going to help a lot of Mini users claim their warranty. Thanks for sharing, man.

You referring to the current situation (Water damage, but Phone's working) or a fully bricked state.
And, they think Kies software would detect the Phone with a fully bricked state?
And if the phone is working, how much time would it take to look on "About Phone" section. From there, the Service Centre guys could easily detect whether Custom ROM is installed or not.

There is no waranty that covers water damage to the phone. Only phone insurance wich i doubt you have. If they inspect your phone, they will void your waranty because no matter how much you dried it, water leaves marks. Anyway, if the screen is ok and the phone boots up, you wont have to pay that much for the reparation.

You may be right that they can check in "About Phone".
But I have witnessed cases that the service center guys acts like totally idiot and can be easily fooled.
I think most of them don't have knowledge and they just do a GOOGLE SEARCH.

Once I told them to repair my headphones just after 7 days of purchase they asked me to give my phone, I asked Why?
They (she)replied: we have to check phone. She typed some number on the dial *#*#1234...something and some other number to get details.
I even asked them to upgrade it to gingerbread from froyo and i gave my phone.
Then next day I came to get my phone with repaired headphones
and those foolish! Mad ass people reflashed muy phone with what: froyo over froyo and i lost everything.
I asked (in anger) why did you reflashed with old one. In that they said gingerbread is not yet available.
As far as for flashing they surely used kies.

Galaxy Note bricked after JB flash

Hey everyone
I'm a bit lost as to how to get started with fixing my hard bricked phone. It occured when flashing a leaked JB rom and now won't turn on, not even in Download mode.
I'm in Australia but bought my phone in Malaysia so the local Samsung shop is refusing to repair it without replacing the main PCB. They advised that a repair would be possible without the hardware replacement, but it would be illegal for them to perform because of issues relating to the IMEI (WTF?).
I haven't been able to get any response out of the phone. The battery was very low when I flashed (terrible move, I know), is it possible that the battery now isn't charging and this is why I'm not able to go into Download mode? I have a few mates with the same phone so I could potentially try a charged battery in it...
All up - I'm guessing that I have to manually write to the EMMC.... Is this just a matter of obtaining a JIG cable and using Odin? I'd like to avoid opening the phone up, but I can do if it's my only option.
Cheers in advance

Sorry to learn about your mishap. I suggest you should not waste money on RIFFBOX as there is little chance you will be able to revive your device in the condition it is, and if you are not into electronics, and don't have hands on experience of soldering (i mean really thin wires), this will be useless for you. I am telling this from my experience as I have same bricked note with me. Had it jtagged, but could not get it revived because the bootloader in eMMC is damaged, so the only option is to replace eMMC, which is physically impossible without sophisticated high tech machinery, or to replace the motherboard carrying eMMC chip. That is not available anywhere (not even on eBay last I checked), except Samsung Service Center, and at least in my country, they are charging like USD400 for the motherboard. I read in another thread here (cannot find it now) that it cost another guy about US$200 for the same thing else where (I think it was in India).
How much are they charging for motherboard replacement? I think you should go for this option as even if somehow you get your note revived without mb replacement, it is highly likely you'll still end up with partially damaged eMMC chip.

how did you know that it s the emmc brick?, i have my phone hardbricked before when i tried to use swap partition, and i get no responce from the phone also, i though it was the emmc brick bug, but i get it worked only with jtag, and costed me around 20$ only, and it wasn't the emmc brick, it was hardbrick but without emmc chip corruption.
the only way the emmc brick ocures is by:
wiping or formatting while on unsafe kernel
any thing else isn't emmc brick, and i think this your condition, you have to try jtag dear.

Thanks for the responses guys It's much appreciated.
I've ordered myself a little USB JIG, will see how that goes and proceed from there!

My OB is bricked, i was flashing it with smartflash tool and installing official lg optimus gb image, but suddenly it was bricked. Now it is not starting, not even in download mode, no signal of power.
Any ideas?

It caused bcoz of loose cable connection.
While flashing any ROM, cable should have intact connectivity..

In case of hard rest, as N00BY0815 said, only way is to take the phone to LG service center, but you have to take precaution regarding:
Take out the memory card and keep at ur home, in case you rooted the phone, otherwise they will know that U rooted the phone and reject the warranty.

i dont think rooting is against warranty everywhere does your pc recognises it when you plug it in while holding p
volume+ ?

He already said, it doesnt even turn on in download mode, so there is no chance to revive it. LG will not know, if it was rooted or not, since noone can turn it on and check it. So just do what i told you above and everything should be good again

This is software error not hardware error. They can't charge you buying new free software.
If its hardware error, in this case, then the problem is not caused by the root and they can't reject warrenty (at least in Europe, I'm pretty sure in most places they'll get away with it.)
EDIT
@Nooby
If they can't access it through new bootloader they have to use JTAG equipement and then you can read and write to flash memory.

I have not much knowledge like xonar and N00BY0815,
Maybe they used JTAG or something ..bcoz at first they try to know whether it is rooted and non-rooted to get reject the phone here.
At that time, I contacted the most senior developers here in XDA, they also suggested that there is nothing to do if the phone is not turning on, & take it to service center...(the case is of LG P500)

That's strange. When I hard bricked mine, they kept my phone 3 weeks to finally say that it was the motherboard which died (I flashed a P990 rom by mistakes, it was for a friend but I forgot it in my sdcard).

11 days ago i installed cm10 nightly 11-14-12 after using the rom about 4 days, suddenly while charging my phone turn off and didn't turn on again. It can't enter sw upgrade. When i send it to the lg service center they said that it was a motherboard problem and need to replace it. It cause P9,000 (about $214). What the F**K! The brand new Optimus black here cause around P13,000 ($309). My warranty is already expired so i decided not to replace the motherboard and wait for the release of nexus 4 here in my country.
That time i'm using blackberry charger 5v output. Do you guys think that the hardbricked has also something related to the charger?
