[Q] Help (JTAG) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

good as a month ago I opened a thead where asking for help to fix the brick my captivate, to take technical service, but when I managed to install the operating system and restart the phone is back to being the same thing (turns brick ) brick odin pass came when two files (which were supposedly a bootloader of Samsung Galaxy S i9000) Is there a way to login and delete these files? At what partition did those files? Can you do a full format all partitions and then install the OS? or because the phone died?
I would like to know thanks.

[Q] Help me: Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab - full brick.

Hi all,
When re-flash the original ROM of my tab, follow link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
I don't read careful enough, I flash with Heimdall in Ubuntu, include boot.bin file (--primary-boot boot.bin). When success flash, my tab not run again. My battery is full (when began flash) but my tab not run, no live signal: no light, no signal to PC over cable.
What can I do? Should I take the my tab to producer for re-load bootloader?
Thank all.
If the flash went through fine then flashing a primary bootloader is fine as long as the bootloader is for your particular device. However my guess is that in this case the boot.bin you flashed was not designed for your particular tablet.
You can try a custom jig (search the forums), although I don't know if it will work with a busted primary bootloader. Otherwise you'll need to take the tablet back to Samsung and they'll fix it for you.

Finish flash, Heimdall notify is success and auto re-boot my tab. But tab shutdown and .... die.
I was search by key "custom jig" and found some solutions, I will try tonight.
Thank you again.
Hello every body.
I have been tested all solution about baterry (included shock baterry), and my baterry is ok. But my tab still dead.
Hello everybody,
My tab can return to download mode now, repair by RIFF JTAG box.
Thank all.
I'm in the same situation. Battery ran out during Odin process. Now it won't acknowledge the Tab when plugged in. I've put it on charge but still nothing.
I am having the same problem, but my tab died in the middle of an odin, failed and now will not turn on. Can someone help me get it going again?
Hi,
Please PM me if you need help with this as I have the necessary tools and skill to revive hard bricked devices and can definitely JTAG any of the TAB variants and work with HTC and Galaxy Phones daily in terms of reviving hard bricks.

Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 can't boot

Hi everybody
I'm really not lazy men, I check almost all posts here on the best forum in the world xda. I face this problem before 2 days, I unlock my phone with Galaxy_Ace_Unlock and root it, everything was worked perfect and suddenly it lose mobile signal. I check phone locking and it was locked again.
It wasn't main problem , then I read on this forum that this aplication is not safe and I uninstall it, after that I rebote my phone and got strange problem. I can't boot my phone I only get samsung boot screen 1 sec and it keeps restarting every sec. When I charge my phone via charger I don't see anything just screen is blanking.
More one thing, when I deleted app galaxy ace unlock I deleted from sd card root file that I use to root my phone.
I need help I try flashing it with odin 4.38 and no success, I can enter download mode, everything pass perfect and I got message PASS but phone can't boot, when it's finishing with odin on last step phone restart it self and keep blanking. This is very anoying problem, please help me if you can.
I use swisscom galaxy mini s5570 and I don't know how to solve this.
I try many different stock rooms but no success, always when I finish with odin it's successfull but I can't boot, I can't access recovery mode because phone is blinking all the time.
I know that this forum is most powerfull and tha we have the best experts, better than android developers that have, and I'm sure that you can help me in some way.
More once, I can enter download mode and flash with odin but I can' boot.
Sorry for my bad english I'm from Bosnia and my first language is Bosnian
Thanks, Reuf
If you can enter download mode, ODIN will most probably work. I think you have gone wrong while working with ODIN. Follow these instructions carefully and double check whether the correct files are selected for each category.
If you still have the problem try flashing a custom recovery and a custom ROM.
Or, the other most probable thing is some hardware error, the only thing to do then is to go to a Samsung center, and act dumb (like you do not know anything about rooting) and if you warranty is not void, they might get it right for you..

I can't go to the Samsung center because I bought phone from my friend. It was a new phone I got it in the box but he bought it in Swiss. I will try some other ROM but really I try many of them.
I think my phone is lost

But even in Swiss they have warranty agreements and receipts so if it is new you should have such purchasing receipts - otherwise your friend pulled you over the barrel.
Anyway, maybe you tried a ROM w/o boot-image to prevent from bootloops.
Maybe you should try the 2.3.5 version coming from samsung:

*URGENT* Huge Problem with my S3 Mini

Hey XDA guys,
I've got an I8190N
I've got a pretty big problems and I need the help of your big brains.
Well a long time ago (17th September 2013) I posted a thread about a problem with my phone, when I booted up, it had this screen:
*Image should either be here or in the attached thumbnails*
So about 3 weeks ago from today I was trying to install a new CM11 ROM update from Maclaw but after I put the zip on my sd card and booted into TWRP recovery (2.6.3.0, just in case it needs mentioning), the phone shut off in the middle of the installation, I thought it was just the usual bugs I get whilst flashing ROMs so I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on.
After a couple of attempts I finally realised that it's able to go into download mode only, I think that means it's soft-bricked right?
So I kept trying to re-install the stock ROM (unroot, unbrick etc) through odin but it kept failing.
I sent the phone to repairs and they wouldn't repair it (because it's rooted obviously, I thought maybe they wouldn't know but of course they did).
I obviously can't get a replacement and start over again because the warranty is void now that I've rooted it
So now they've sent it back and it's currently a paper weight that can go into download mode and refuses to install stock ROMs through Odin.
What do I do? I really need help guys (I don't need to worry about backups because I always backup)
Please answer soon, otherwise I'll be without a phone and my phone company will keep charging me for my contract eventhough I'm not using the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help given

I believe that kies has emergency firmware that you can use to revive your phone? Try that. What does it say when it fails in odin?
hello,
so you can still go into download modus?
try the latest recovery (2.7 if i'm correct...) and flash with odin.
then try to boot into recovery and reflash the latest mclaw (or any other) non stock firmware.
think about it that you have to unzip the odin firmware package you download from maclaws site ( i forgot it and got messing around 2hours ago.... also staring at the erro in odin and thinking W*F is happening :cyclops: but then i realized i need to unzip the package...
realy good luck.....
Hi
Odin flash pit file
It just says the big black FAIL in the red background where it's supposed to be PASS in the green background
Could you guys give me download links to the PIT files, TWRP and the firmwares so I could get the right ones please?
Thanks
LOOK HERE
(i8190_goldenxx.zip) is the pitfile for I8190 only and i8190N_goldenxx.zip for I8190N version
BUT: these are NO flashable files - extract them and choose xxx.pit in Odin.
MJ
Could you give me a link to the pit file please
Do you have a link to the firmware I should use because tys0n gave me one before which was the service firmware (like 1.29gb) but it wouldn't work for this problem

I'm pretty sure it's bricked... But maybe there's a chance?

So here's my problem. I think I've bricked my device. Don't know if it's softbrick or hardbrick, but either way my phone just does not boot up. The only instance it works is when I remove the battery and try to charge the phone, it shows a picture that it didn't find a battery. All of this occurred while trying to unlock the bootloader. Something similar already happened to me like a month or two ago, but I was able to flash stock KDZ using the online LG Support Tool. Anyway, the part where it all messed up is probably the aboot.bin file, although I'm quite certain I flashed the right file for my device. Also, installed CWM recovery, and after restarting the device it just won't boot at all, not even the software upgrade mode or anything. So my guess is that something is wrong because of either a wrong aboot.bin file for my D405N or the custom recovery. I tried flashing stock KDZ, but I couldn't get my phone into software upgrade mode. Also, tried doing a hard reset, but an LG logo didn't even come up. The battery is at least half full. So is there anything I can actually do in this case? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Yeah, I did post in another thread (though I didn't create it), but I'm quite desperate with this. Either I fix it myself somehow, or I'll have to take it to the warranty.
EDIT: Took it to a repair. Should be done in around a week. Got an old Samsung Galaxy Mini as a replacement.

Bricked my phone with xposed(all my fault but i need help)

i bricked my phone and i cant do anything i am using samsung galaxy s6 and when phone turns on just samsung logo appears but stays there forever
and i cant go to the recovery mode it is like deleted. Tried to re-root phone thought it could help. Guess not... anyways i need help just got that phone...
I have the exact same issue. Xposed bricked my phone (S7 Edge, SM G935F). My own fault, but I need to fix it asap. Getting phone back tomorrow in factory reset state. My only back-up is TWRP. I managed to create that back-up while the phone was already in bootloop status. Question is if I root again and restore the back-up I created, won't the Xposed being part of that back-up file simply brick my phone again. I can't figure out how to remove xposed from my TWRP back-up so it doesn't cause issues.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am paying $50 to have the phone fix and if I mess it up, it will be another issue.
Nougat or Marshmallow ?
Which firmware, model numbers? Have you tried flashing your preferred firmware via Odin in PC or Mac? List what you've done for us...

You need to put the phone on download mode and refresh the entire firmware. I think Samsung do it via ODIN still.. but not sure.
