[Q] Help me with detecting hardbrick - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Help! I have a brick while flashing via CWM. I wanna understand, which exactly brick i've got.
Details: i had MIUI 2.9.19 perfectly working. Then i try to flashing MIUI 2.9.29 via CWM, without any wiping, just updating. Process stopped on "Formating system partition" (or something like) for some minutes, then phone has switched off.
Now it are no longer bootable in any of the modes (voll up/down+home+power). Charging make battery warm. Odin does not see phone even in blind mode (with blang screen). I've try a homemade JIG (306kOm and 301kOm) with no effect.
How to boot it? What I have to try else?
Did it a broken system memory chip? Its a hard brick and need to chip replacement?
Plese help me, what i need to do. In my town have no samsung service...
Thanks and sorry my english)

i don't want make you sad but you super brick your note..all what you write is from super brick....I also I take my note before a week from service from super brick and they replace the motherboard with new one.I am happy because my note it was rooted but the warranty cover's me..!
I know a guy from us who can fix it with JTAG but I'm not trust things like that.
you cannot do anything..so hope cover you the warranty..

open odin on pc and connect the usb to phone and pc.. then press the vol dwn+pwr+home .. keep it pressed and check if something comes up on odin

nokiamodeln91, nothing comes up on odin (1.82 and 1.87 versions).
Have tried it many times with different USB ports... May be i need a special drivers? But windows 7 must be start searching it, new device not appeared even.

Visit dr ketan's thread and download the updated drivers

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

My phone was stuck on an infinite reboot once. I didnt have a Nandroid backup so I used this tutorial:
http://enzag.com/technology/android/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-to-gingerbread-2-3-6/
You will be reverted to a stock rom and you will lose your root. You can change the firmware in the guide with whichever firmware you want. It makes no difference
Did u read what u said?i cant boot in to download mode!

If its not entering either download mode or recovery mode, you will have to take it to the service center. You have bricked your phone.
Send it to the service center and don't mention them that you are rooted and they will replace your motherboard and give it back to you!!
They will do it for free if you have warranty. I had mine repaired just like that. I had also bricked my device with Rom Manager before!!
You have already posted this in the general thread why have you posted it in accessories?
Using rom manager can hard brick your phone the only option would be to take it to service center , say that it broke when updating through kies.

DO not mention Kies at all. I had a friend who needed a replacement for his phone which Samsung denied because he updated the software. He is still fighting with them because his phone is under warranty.
Just act stupid when you go to a service center and act as if you dont know anything about your phone. Just say you plugged it into the computer to transfer music or something and it went off and didnt come back on. If they manage to fix it, your phone works again. If they dont, you get a new phone. Its a win-win

But kies is Samsung's official software. Its bad customer service by Samsung. Can't see Samsung having much of an argument against your friend.

Go to Samsung service centre, and tell them that you wanted to update your software up to date, and something went wrong in the middle of the update, server's critical error or something, and now on it doesn't boot at all. Just don't mention Odin, or that you were rooted.
Sorry dude, service centre. Happened to me in the past. Just tell them that one fine day, it couldn't boot. Worked with me. DO NOT MENTION ROOT, ODIN, OR ANYTHING THAT VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY. They'll repair it for free if you do as above
Thats exactly what my friend told them. They are making some bull**** reason that the Kies he was using was downloaded from the internet and not installed from the CD in the box. The CD one was an old version and couldnt have updated his phone ever. Anyways I lost all hope for any Samsung support

Errmm.. dude. Lol service center. Any Galaxy Ace rom manager touches is automatically destroyed.
Just have a try at the service center. If they won´t repair your phone you can use it paperweight.
That's not the spirit of XDA...

Can you get repaired by SS service? That will be the easy option.
Otherwise, it seemed that Sar17 can help with his firsthand experience since he has just revived his hardbrick Note using a combination of several methods including Jtag and and repartition.

thanks for the reply... but i am still confused ... is it bricked or some other problem?
I guess whatever the cause does not matter much, still the same problem of a hard brick which could not even turn on, nothing. The choice to fix are below:
1. use a jig to get it start into download mod. Then odin stock rom or repartition using a custom PIT file if odin get stuck somewhere (because of partition damage by emmc bug kernel).
2. if jig does not work then need a Jtag to fix it. In case there is also partition damage jtag alone will not work, and will need also repartition. That is the case of Sar17.
That are the only ways that I know can help revived it (beside motherboard replace). Hope you can figure out or Sar17 can help you with more details. cheers.

can u explain how to use jig or jtag... i will be very thankful to u
This is how to use a Jig:
- Turn off your phone and pull out the battery
- Just put the battery back and don't turn it on
- Plug the Jig into the micro USB port on the phone
- After about 2 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
- Unplug the module
- Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via odin.
You can buy it online very cheap.

It does not list N7000 but will work since some people in xda have tried.
About Jtag it will cost more and more complicated to use. I do not have much info so you will need to search google.
Also remember to send Sar17 a private message. I guess he can help with Jtag.
Cheers.

There is also a guide on how to do it oneself which looks not very easy. Buying is a better option.

[Q] Easy guide to JTAG without using expensive box

So yeah, I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Ace with the wrong kernel through Clock Work Recovery, chose reboot option, screen turned black.
I have tried all the button combos, with inserting battery method and all of that, I even bought a USB Jig but to no avail. The furthest I've come to entering Download Mode(button combinations, to then flash with Odin) is that the computer is detecting the samsung galaxy ace as a modem(If I do not press the button combinations the computer detects nothing at all) and I cannot establish connection with the phone with Odin nor adb shell.
I have searched these forums a few hours a week the last two weeks and the only possible option seems to be JTAG unbrick. I have no money to get me a 100$ jtag-box just to resurrect this phone, so my question is this:
Is there any other way that Is cheap and not too advanced for a tech newbie like myself to unbrick the phone? I have no problem with soldering, but my question is, is there any other module(or would a simple jtag cable work?) to access the phones internal workings?
Or maybe there is another way to save this phone? Please post if you have experiance!
No, I have no warranty left on the phone, and no I do not want to leave it to some jtag service. That is not the problem.
Help/tricks greatly appreciated!
I had the exact same delema I kept plugging the phone into the c in download.mode and in the end my computer rexonized it ans was able to flash back to stock phone resets every now and then but other than that works fine I now use in rooted fully stock on.not.running the risk

Was the screen black when you flashed It through Odin aswell? Cause all Im getting from Odin is "setting up connection..." and there it stops. Did I miss something?
Wrong kernel as in?
Another device? A jig "might" help you...

Yeah, I got ahold of a Jig tried on my friends Samsung S2, and It did not work. I don't remember what I tried to flash it with, It was through clockworkmod and I was going to flash with rafaels kernel but must have got ahold of the wrong one in his SkyDrive map. Anyayws, I applied the .zip and chose reboot and all went permanently black.
Anyone have experiance in UART-Jigs and whatnot?

Huge problem .

Hello xda,
Sorry for the wrong section but i want a fast answer because my phone is almost gone
I have a problem with the charger ... it connects and disconnects frequently ...
I need to put the phone in a bizar pozition for it to charge.
Whatever...
I went to the store where i bought the phone to fix this problem.
But , it has cm10.1 installed and they say they can fix the problem only if i have the stock installed and 0 counter bin..........
I come home and try to flash stock via odin...
The USB works the same way as charger.
And while flashing I move accidentaly the phone...
And now is 0% battery and is not charging.......
I can't even open it...
What should I do?
Is there any chance to return it to stock?...
If not what mid-range phone did you suggest me?
I look for a s2 plus or a nokia lumia 520...
Thanks for understanding !
Borrow a battary from a frined and try to flash stock via odin carefully this time.

I have a problem with the place where the charger is putting...
And while i want to install 2.3.6 via odin and remove the usb at 65%....
It couldn't charge... because it has teoretical no software..
so.. you can use odin or not?
As i said... nope..
The phone doesen't turn on...
When i flash 2.3.6 via odin it fails
And the charger (the place where you put it) is massedup.........
I was thinking if i can give my battery to a friend with the same phone to charge my battery and then trying to flash again...
Hope it will work.
Thanks for all
Okay, the problem is the horrid usb port some sgm 2 series have, just go to the shop, tell them to replace your usb port. Its not a charger problem. Then feel free to flash cm again, because its the best

at the store they told me if i have root / not official soft they can't do nothing... thats the cause of me trying to flash 2.3.6
Dude, its completely fking irrelevant whether you have official or not, for usb port replacement it doesnt matter. Go to another service if they keep telling you bull$hit

It is relevant because guarranty does not apply if you don't have the official software, it doesn't matter what needs to be changed, you need to fulfil all the requirements for the guarranty to apply.
Thatt is true tho. In that case i dont see how this can be fixed
So.. i'm back !
I bought a new usb cable and a battery and flash 2.3.6 but with no wipe (via odin)
So the phone does not turn on (stuck at samsung logo) because i had 4.2.2 (cm10.1)
And I tryied to go to cwm (flashed via odin) to wipe and flash again 2.3.6
But it won't open.
Not even official recovery turned on ...
I tryied cwm / twrp but no chance.
Any helps how to enter into recovery??
it's a hard brick, nothing you can do.
Heh.
I just enter recovery and flash the 2.3.6.
My guarranty is back !
I take the phone tomorrow to service for charger fix !
THANKS A LOT !
