In the process of trying to flash a ROM to my Samsung Galaxy S Captivate I897, I ended up Bricking it. After searching XDA-Developers.com I came across a post about a One Click UnBrick Tool that was made by the XDA-Developer.com User AdamOutler. I'm assuming that I didn't do something correctly while trying to UnBrick my phone. My Question is, has anyone EVER seen this screen, and if so, what is it? And How does one fix it?

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.

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.

Hi Tim,
I've responded to your PM as well but I can fix your issue with my JTAG solution. Posting from the UK and getting back to you is no problem at all.

awhile ago i just made a mistake of flashing my bootloader without sufficient
knowledge and now my galaxy tab is stuck on "samsung" loading screen can anyone provide me bootloader for the Verizon galaxy tab version. it would be much appreciated or anything that would fix this. Iam new to this so i haven't made a backup on my ROM etc.. I really need help on this. i can still go to download mode and flash anything i haven't tried other boatloaders i feel its a bad idea i tried searching for my Verizon bootloader but still no luck help me please
*bump* can anybody help me..
I'm pretty noob with this stuff but after trying to flash to a new kernel, i got stuck at the samsung boot screen forever, but also could get in to download mode.
I can't link because this is my first post but google "restore verizon galaxy tab back to stock" and the first link should be a jamesriter blog that details the steps and links to the necessary files.
That solution got me back to stock
hope it helps
Ok! I bought a Samsung P1000N Galaxy Tab from ClaroPR this week. Like always with every android devices i have i rooted it with superoneclick. Yesterday i was trying to update the tablet to gingerbread since it had Froyo. Follow the tutorials in here to flash it(I guess i didnt read the warnings about the secure bootloaders or something like that) but the thing is that i ended up softbricking my device. The gingerbread i was trying to flash was the JQ1. Anyways, i tried to flash it using Odin 1.7, it ended up failing and now i just have the cell triangle and computer logo of dead on the screen. Thing is that i know its not supposed to be totally bricked. But then in the device manager it doesnt show as samsung composite device or anything like that. I need help from someone who has gone thru this already and knows what to do. Or is it just a brick and thats it? Thanks...

If you get anything on the screen at all (Triangle, Download mode, Samsung logo, etc...) It's not bricked, just sponged. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the P1000N, but in general, try reloading the samsung drivers and try another USB port. Once you get it to show up in device mangler you can push the right tar with Odin and you'll be cooking with gas again. Sorry I can't help with this specific model, but sammy devices in general are hard to truly "brick"
Okay i think now its dead. It turned off when it lost the charge and now not even Heimdall recognize it. So if someone knows about a good tutorial on Jtaging this i will appreciate.
Edit: Found useful guide in here to resurrect it so i will give that a try...
The Unbrickable Mod works like a champ! I know, because I had to resort to this over this last weekend.
However, it does require mods to the mainboard that require some skill. Once accomplished, it is virtually impossible to brick your Tab.

Why you want to go for Jtag just becoz battery is dead. Get the Tab Opened, Recharge the battery externally (Repair/Service Center should help). Follow the Team Overcome Guide to install the Stock Safe Rom and then you can either continue with it or move to any other ROM of your choice.
I would keep JTAG as the Last option.
If it's new Tab, it should still be under warranty.
wow, impressive post (the unbrickable mod).. Not sure I'd have the guts to do that though..
Hello everyone. I'm here to ask you one thing. Premise: I have a Samsung S3 Mini GT-I8190N
Last week I flashed a kernel that my phone is not supported and then it went in hard brick (I know I'm a sucker ).
Then I searched on the internet various guides on how to fix this brick and I saw guide on the JIG and JTAG.
By JIG I bought one but was not compatible with my phone's model and now another that I'm waiting for it to arrive (it should be compatible). Instead of JTAG I saw the various components that serve and the total price close to 130-140 € then I don't want to talk.
In the meantime I get the second JIG I found by chance a guide on how to fix the hard brick without JTAG.
The problem is that there are only three/ our similar guide to another model i.e. on a S3.
An example is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125
An another example is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
I'm coming to the point. In these guides are listed several things which are necessary and the only thing I miss is the debrick image.
I tried getting on google a debrick image for s3 mini i8190/N and there is nothing.
Exasperated, I always find by chance a guide on how to make this debrick. image.
This guide is here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...samsung-debrick-files-only-bootloader-1885507.
I do everything it says and the program tells me that there isn't ATF box which would be similiar a Riff Box for JTAG and this also costs about 110 €. I leave it alone.
After all this I ask: is there another way to create this damn debrick image? Or has anyone found a link to download it?
Or someone know how to fix this damn brick without SEND IT IN ASSISTANCE?
Meanwhile thank you!
P.s. sorry for bad english. I'm a italian guy that know very little english
Hello. I have the same problem. How did you fix it?
I tried to flash Lollipop 5.1.1 (Carbon) 20150701 on my S3 via odin and the cable failed and hard bricked my S3 mini. No download mode,No recovery,No Bootlogo,No Vibration…just dead. Is there a debrick img available so i might be able to save my phone? I cannot afford JTag right now. Please assist. I think it has to be the bootloader.
NOBODY?

Nobody out there on this site full of "experts"? Not one? Pathetic
Quick question. Can you get into download mode? If not then how is a debrick.img going to help?

If it works on other S3 models that are hard bricked why no the mini?

Why not the S3 8190? This one in the link above has a corrupted bootloader too.
I wish someone would help a brother out and upload an img instead of making remarks. Anything worth trying is better than getting a Riff Jtag. It seems as if this forum is all about reposting stuff from other sites or members are smartasses.
1. I'm trying to get an idea of the status of the device.
2. I'm just a guy that has the same phone without any android development knowledge who is trying his best to help.
3. There are some real geniuses on this site.

I apologise, I had been scouting every forum possible with no solution in sight and no hope of finding one. I was frustrated. The device has been taken to a repair center and the technician looked very confused but said he would try. As a south african you will understand my lack of confidence in the device being repaired as he was hired due to AA.
Apologies once again.
PS: I have bought a J5 brand new and I hope i dont kill it. Trying very hard to keep it stock...

I see that there is still nobody on this forum that actually knows what they are doing. ****ing morons.
Flashing phone via JTAG port could be a solution. You need a JTAG debugger ( Riff Box, Medusa, Z3X etc.) which supports your phone. The trouble is, this devices is not cheap so its better to send it to a phone service.
