I was using the instructions from here to remove the yellow triangle from my Note N7000, and found that other people have had similar issues to what happened with mine (on page 34 of thread). I flashed the 1.tar and get the complete black screen as the instructions state (step 6) ... but from step 7 onwards, I have no response at all from my phone. I have 2x Jigs, and have attempted to use both to get this fixed, but I am not able to get phone to reconnect to ODIN. People have reported the same issue, but to no response.
I had a Galaxy Note N7000 on Telstra (Australia) but unlocked from network, running CM9 4.0.3 and was trying to flash to 4.0.4 when I got the yellow triangle. Can't check any other the other stats at present as obviously, my phone is a brick. Anyone got any super secret squirrel tricks that will get my phone back so I don't need to take it back to Telstra to get them to fix it.
Further to the above, answering some questions already asked in original forum, battery had a charge, but when I attempt to connect to charger to confirm, get no battery charging symbol on screen, get nothing at all.
When connecting the phone to Odin 1.85, and 1.87 for Steps 7-9 and the Jig Bought from here as well as making one myself, still no joy.
Any assistance will be appreciated, or am I going to have to revert to the devil to get a repair due to a hardware fault?

At points 7-10 the screen will not work!
Follow the rest of instructions and your phone will be all set..
My Point was that even after steps 7-10, nothing happens. Follow them to the t, and don't get my screen back, still just have a brick.
No feedback from device, device won't connect with Odin at step 10 (No COM:XX comes up) ... and device doesn't even register with PC as being connected. Different USB Slots used everything tried, and I have scoured every post pertaining to a yellow triangle in XDA, still without having any joy in getting this fixed. :crying:
Further to the above, it was step 5 that lead to this result. From step 5 onwards, I haven't been able to use my Note. Which makes me a sad panda.
Just trying to find a way to fix it rather than sending it back to Telstra to try and get a warranty repair ... if I can.

Just to make sure that I wasn't doing something wrong, got the stop watch on my G15 out, and timed everything to the T, making sure that the battery wasn't in for longer than expected etc, and this was after having the phone on charge since my last message. Still to no avail. Follow the prompts of taking battery out etc, boot into download mode, push volume up to accept the download mode, connect to PC with Odin Loaded, and then without Odin Loaded, and no response from PC, so Phone isn't responding to the Unbricking, or the computer isn't responding. This was tried in my 3 free USB ports tonight, with no luck.

Well, I got a bit cocky after previously flashing a T-Mo Tab and didn't carefully (re) read the directions (I know...dumb..dumb...dumb).
Anyhoo, I rooted a factory AT&T Tab that was running Froyo, I verified the bootloader was not locked with the downloaded .apk..and began flashing BG stock (en route to Overcome) with only the PDA and Phone files selected....no .pit and not repartition checked.
The load went to about 90% then Odin "stopped unexpectedly". The device is currently stuck on the download screen showing the stuck progress bar. I am keeping it like this to drain the battery.
I have to confess that I actually did this same thing once before (on a unit that was returnable). I have only NOW determined that it is almost certainly the lack of the .pit that is causing this. I know from this previous experience that if I force the unit to power down...it will do nothing..no restore...no download. Therefore, I am keeping it in this state to drain the battery quicker.
I found another poster on the forum that has the ability to "un brick", but I am hoping that after the battery drains I can get to the download screen and Odin again.
Anyone have any thoughts? Am I likely to recover after the battery drains? Time will tell I guess...but I am anxious!
Thanks much...
p
Sorry...obviously I was flashing GB (GingerBread) stock.
TIA...p
If its in download mode doesn't ODIN recognise it? If so, just reflash with all the necessary files...
If you drain battery you might not get it working again. There have been people with problems like this....
Odin "sees" it as evidenced by yellow in COM port...but upon attempt to flash it fails to connect - load never starts.
Thanks for your reply anyway.
1st post, w00t!
Mine did something similar. After multiple attempts at getting Odin to connect, it finally did. I basically had to put it into download mode 5ish times. Pressed the 'reset' button in Odin a few times, unhooked it from the USB cable a few times.
I wish I could be more specific, but I don't remember the exact process, sorry . What I can tell you is that I was able to charge it over night by just leaving it plugged in and from what I could tell, it was powered off.
Best of luck mang!
Thanks for the note.
I wish I COULD put the device back into download mode.
Completed dead now....
Looking at un-bricking options (Samsung, private party, etc..)
PM sent...
I tried to flash Froyo on my friend's SGS.
It had Eclair 2.1 update 1
Three button combination never worked.
So....I had problems with MTP application but eventually I managed to connect the phone with KIES.
KIES offered me the update and I followed the steps.
Once the update process began the screen of the phone turned absolutely green.
When the progress in KIES came to 13% it stopped and I plugged the phone out after an hour or so because nothing was happening.
Now the phone is bricked and what ever I do it only shows black screen with a small white phone and a PC and the orange warning triangle is in between.
So..I can't get into download mode,and that's exactly what KIES suggests so I have no idea what to do.
Please help!
Simple, call up samsung and get them to fix it for you. They have service centres all over the place. Those symbols means its a software brick, which in most cases is easily fixable.
Alternatively buy a jig from ebay, to force download mode, and then follow what Kies says, or use odin to flash the stock or custom rom.
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH BAR FIRST AS THIS HAS BEEN ASKED MANY TIMES
thanks!
sorry for posting the thread but I searched and I didn't find my exact case
the thread may now be locked
So I was trying to return my friend's Captivate back to stock and had bad feelings about it due to his stupid PC in the first place but finally got everything downloaded and worked out(so I thought) and I was using the Heimdall one-click. During the flash it failed to upload the kernel(the first step in the flash) and now the phone just shows a phone symbole with a dotted line with a orange ! leading to a computer symbol.
Is it fixable from this point(if I need a JIG i can get one) or is it gone?
You need a jig. And about an hour.You need to read how to get download mode, also need to read how to diagnose connection issues. See the link in my sig? Follow that to the answers you seek.
Thank you. At least I know a JIG should fix it. Next time I just take it home and use my PC where i've flashed the same phone about 100 times from w/out any problems. Thats what I get trying to use a laptop which I can never seem to get a long with.
I have a captivate and its black screened. i have a jig and cant get it into download mode. On my computer it does not show up at all. On my friends computer we got it to show up once as a Unknown devices. Any suggestions?
My sig thread (see below for link) "Are you bricked"
Hi,
I installed a Cyanogenmod ICS 4.0.3. build 17 firmware on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 almost 5 months ago from a tutorial. The update itself has been a fantastic experience from the start and I'm not sure if my current problem is even related to that firmware update. Apparently new users like me can't post URLs so I can't provide it now. If you need it let me know.
I have to admit that lately the phone has been rebooting every couple of days, or Android's been freezing and I had to remove the battery, but I didn't think too much of it. It wasn't too bad of a problem really, but this morning all of a sudden the device has become totally unusable. Help! :-/
The issue that's started since today is that my phone won't boot anymore. It seems to reboot somewhere during the boot process. There's only two screens that will be shown, before it reboots. When I remove the battery, put it back in and attach the charger, I will only see two charging screens. While charging, the device will also*reboot after a while.*
I can get into download-mode (volume-down + ok-button + power-key) but can't get into recovery mode (volume-up + ok-button + power-key).
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!
Greetings,
Adriaan
ps -> I have pictures of the booting screens and the charging screens but wasn't allowed to post them here. Again, if you need to see them please PM.
Hi,
I think you have to reflash using odin. You can be happy to reach download mode
I'll try that, thanks.

Just to be sure, could you please check that my logic is correct?
First off: the tutorial I had followed had me follow a few procedures:
first I updated Galaxy S with XXJVU Firmware
then rooted Galaxy S on XXJVU Firmware
after that I flashed CM 9, ICS 4.0.3. build 17 to the device
To which of these steps were you referring? My guess would be to take the last one, but perhaps it's wiser to restart the tutorial from the beginning. I'd appreciate any additional support you can give me, you can understand that I don't want to brick my device due to my misunderstandings..
Seems like a high overclock or high underclock

Not sure what you mean there. In any event I've never taken any steps to overclock or underclock my device. Maybe it's going senile and I get to buy a galaxy s III soon
*phew* well my problem's been solved. Since I was able to get into download mode I flashed a baseline rom with Odin and found my way back to ICS. One surprise along the way was that from the same tutorial I had followed (and had happy results from) a few months ago, the step of using Odin to root the device wasn't working, it kept getting stuck at 'zImage' during the process! What's more, after that I was getting the BSOD image (the phone, exclamation mark and computer), which I found could be helped by using a 'One-Click Unbrick for Samsung devices'.
That was a XXJVU firmware. After some snooping around I found a different firmware than the one I had previously used and had switched from a XXJVU firmware to a XXJW4 firmware through a page on XDA-Developers. Did that. It worked. And now I'm back to ICS again, yay!
Thanks for the help along the way!
I have an AT&T Note 3. I was rooted using the KINGO app, but returned my phone to stock several weeks ago and the rom shows official and the knox count is 0. I am running the stock AT&T Note 3 Android 4.3
The other day, an official AT&T android update was pushed to my phone. The update bricked my phone and now I am unsure if I can even recover what was on my phone...or at the very least get it running again. For now, I am without a phone.
When I can get the phone to power up, the phone attempts to "Recovery Booting" (this is displayed in blue letters in the top left corner with the galaxy Note 3 Logo in the middle). It tries to install this AT&T update following the recovery wording when powering it on normally and when using Volume UP/Home/Power . The update progresses towards 100% then "completes" sometimes, but then the screen goes black and the phone does not start back up. I have to remove the battery for a period of time and replace to get the phone to do anything
I can get the phone to go into download mode (Volume down/Home/power), but my phone did not have USB debugging turned on the last time I was able to access the options, so it is not recognized by kies/odin, etc!
Even though their update caused the problem, AT&T wont help me (over the phone or at the store) as my phone is over a year old...their solution is to buy a new phone and plan as they say they can't do anything to fix the phone.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Can you get into recovery?..if so try to factory reset then maby you will be able to power up get to developer options and turn on debug so you can use odin...other option..I have heard of some doing this..go to Bestbuy Samsung counter..ask them if they have the odin tool. If they do they may be able to get you up and running.

Don't worry bro.
Just follow this post to put your phone back to stock and get it rooted again. My phone used to brick and I went through it.
Follow the steps carefully, and you'll get your phone back.
