Hi
Is there anyway back for a hard bricked Galaxy Note mobile...ie. wont turn on, wont go to recovery and wont go to download mod.
oh and the computer wont recognise it. :crying::crying:
thanks
It might be useful to tell us how exactly you bricked it. What software you were running, what you were trying to accomplish and other pieces of information like that...
As mentioned on other post last hope is JIG only in situation you are having.

The rom that was on the phone i think was kingdroid-ics-notemania-edition
The rom i was installing was paranoid-note-v01
The kernal was franco.kernal-r5
It just stopped in the middle of install and switched off.
The problem is I bought it of ebay about 4 months ago so have no proof of purchase.
If i took it to samsung service would they repair if I was willing to pay.
regards
Why you not taking chance first with jig, now just buy jig, if that will bring you to download mode then still chance to put life to ur device is there, if that won't work then last chance is ssc.

Thank you again I have to order a jig from ebay which I will do monday
can you tell me if that wont work can samsung tell what I have done. That I have bricked it.
I know i should know more but i have learnt the lesson "not to touch again" if it ever works again.:crying:
Best regards and many thanks
Yes there may b chance they can repair even without cost, b'oz i still won't say it is bricked.
This may b soft brick.
Just you need is download mode, n i think you have mess up bootloader.

Can anyone help?
My Galaxy S froze today, as I reset it by taking the batt off, it would get past the loading Galaxy S screen.
I cannot get it either into recovery or download mode, i have tried every combo you can, dropped batt and in whilst holding buttons, I have tried inserting pc usb whilst doing the same, surely if its loading its recoverable, not sure about this jig thing??
Would rather fix it now!
Pls help guys n gals
Some phones didn't have recovery or download mode working from factory. Mine was like that but applied a fix just in case to avoid any future problems such as yours.
Seems like a jig is your only hope now. They go pretty cheap on eBay but if you can't wait then you can make one youself if you know how.
Good luck!

Plug phone into PC, if it still works you can force it into recovery or download mode by using ADB

Since this is the OP's first post, it might be a good idea to include a link to where ADB is explained.
Anyway, go to this post and then go to section 3.

The jig is cheap on eBay. I was hesitant of getting one when I was on eClair, but it has worked each and every time that I've used it.
Just find a seller that has sold a few with positive feedback, but yeah I got into download mode no problem using it where I was "totally locked out" before like where you are at...

Ignore the jig options because it is stupid and the adb option is better and easy! Search it to activate download and recovery then flash a gingerbread rom then galnet, you'll then wanna make sweet love to your galaxy

I was in the same situation a year ago, I couldn't make jig and it would take a nother day so I did the following:
Took a hairdryer , took the batt out of the phone, and used the hairdryer on the phones back(where the batt should be), then I think I placed the batt back, and applied the hairdryer again and it went into download mode !
If this doesn't work, just make or get a JIG, if you don't trust it , take ya phone to a Samsung Service Center (I'm lucky there's one 10km from my house)
Good luck !

The JIG is the best solution here!! it worked for me personally..not long ago!!! YESTERDAY!!! n thats the best 0.99$ dollars av ever spent...

solved my problems!!
+1 for ADB method, JIG is fine too but it's unnecessary if your PC can detect the phone when plugged in through the USB port, plus the JIG takes time to ship
dude!! i made a JIG in 10 mins!!
And ADB method takes less than a minute, plus, not everyone has resistors lying around the house.
fine!! relax man!! i was just suggesting!!
n y are the two of us bothering over this..the guy who started this post is lost!!!
end of thread!!
The jig does not work or the button combos and the phone heats up when charged and there is no display
Also is my battery fried?
If u have no signs of life at all (even when charging) then u r hard bricked.
If u r on a computer lookin at this then check my signature below for links to get it repaired.

Yeah, if nothing works, then it's a hard brick. You will need to get the phone jtagged. Mobiletechvideos offer this service, and from what I heard, they are really good.

Yes, I recall hearing that jtag is $40 and unbrickablemod is $45. I recommend the latter over jtag because you will never have to worry/pay to fix it again

Thats a nice situation there,
Cannot go to download mode anymore?
Then i guess its bricked, (no soft and hard brick for me since as long as ypu can recover it, its not bricked)
Suggestion =
if it still has warranty, then let sammy do their job and bring it to them,
If not , better bring it to a tech since not many experience that white screen here,

Now I found his thread here.
sweynmonillas, he has a CDMA device.
Overcome method screwed his tab for good.
Next time be careful when recommending Overcome to others.
Ouch, didn't know that.
Sorry mate,
May i ask what is the difference between his unit and those p1000's around?
sent from my nokia 3110 using sms.
Basically it has different innards and works for CDMA network.
Their ROMs are not interchangeable.
Must be treated as a different device.

different reps will handle the same situation differently, one may replace it with less fuss than the other depending on what they know and what state you bring it back in.
why are you exchanging it, is it really bricked? is there something else wrong with the phone? is it rooted? these things will help determine what state you may want to leave your phone in when you walk through the door.
It's currently rooted with kingo but I think you can unroot it and it will get rid of the custom padlock ... I dropped it once at home but the silver rim is starting to chip off

Sooooo here are the options. IF you can get rid of the custom Padlock screen and remove root you can either Bootloop Soft brick ( though soft bricks are hard bricks for us right now ) or you can Brake the firmware and leave it in a Firmware has Encountered an Error screen. whichever one you feel more comfy explaining on your end as to how this occurred for the warranty claim.

I could not, it would recognize the device but never connect to transfer files.
I'll be pleased if they deny your claim and cite the accidental damage as the cause. Buy a case or insurance next time.
I do have insurance and case and screen protector since day 1

I've read your previous post. Seems like you had flash a lot, at least 10 flashes right? Had you ever reset your flash count? Like using Triangle away?
I don't know if the centre can reboot to system, but even by using USB JIG, you can reach download mode, which will show flash count and device status(official or custom).
But if only they can get to download mode. So lets hope they wont.
Good luck.

Not sure if all device will reset the count when using Jig, but it didn't on s3 mini, s4, and galaxy grand duos. I have 1, home made, tried on those phone. It work, just didn't reset the bin count. But maybe its different from the phone centres Jig. Lets hope your board totally fried.

Sure it can, thats the only thing it can do actually.
If the centre can wake your phone, I believe jig would work in it. Lucky you.
