Hello All,
My OB is bricked, i was flashing it with smartflash tool and installing official lg optimus gb image, but suddenly it was bricked. Now it is not starting, not even in download mode, no signal of power.
Any ideas?
It caused bcoz of loose cable connection.
While flashing any ROM, cable should have intact connectivity..

Probably a hard brick, bring it to a lg service center. Tell them you tried to update your phone and all of a sudden the update stopped and now it doesnt react anymore.

ok, but is there any other way?
In case of hard rest, as N00BY0815 said, only way is to take the phone to LG service center, but you have to take precaution regarding:
Take out the memory card and keep at ur home, in case you rooted the phone, otherwise they will know that U rooted the phone and reject the warranty.
i dont think rooting is against warranty everywhere does your pc recognises it when you plug it in while holding p
volume+ ?

He already said, it doesnt even turn on in download mode, so there is no chance to revive it. LG will not know, if it was rooted or not, since noone can turn it on and check it. So just do what i told you above and everything should be good again

This is software error not hardware error. They can't charge you buying new free software.
If its hardware error, in this case, then the problem is not caused by the root and they can't reject warrenty (at least in Europe, I'm pretty sure in most places they'll get away with it.)
EDIT
@Nooby
If they can't access it through new bootloader they have to use JTAG equipement and then you can read and write to flash memory.

I have not much knowledge like xonar and N00BY0815,
Maybe they used JTAG or something ..bcoz at first they try to know whether it is rooted and non-rooted to get reject the phone here.
At that time, I contacted the most senior developers here in XDA, they also suggested that there is nothing to do if the phone is not turning on, & take it to service center...(the case is of LG P500)
That's strange. When I hard bricked mine, they kept my phone 3 weeks to finally say that it was the motherboard which died (I flashed a P990 rom by mistakes, it was for a friend but I forgot it in my sdcard).

11 days ago i installed cm10 nightly 11-14-12 after using the rom about 4 days, suddenly while charging my phone turn off and didn't turn on again. It can't enter sw upgrade. When i send it to the lg service center they said that it was a motherboard problem and need to replace it. It cause P9,000 (about $214). What the F**K! The brand new Optimus black here cause around P13,000 ($309). My warranty is already expired so i decided not to replace the motherboard and wait for the release of nexus 4 here in my country.
That time i'm using blackberry charger 5v output. Do you guys think that the hardbricked has also something related to the charger?

Hello everyone,
One day, I upgraded a ROM firmware (I don't remember which ROM exactly..) on my Captivate..
I formated everything before update (data, cache, AND system !).
During update I was making a coffee, and when I came back on the phone,
it was absolutely dead.. Only a full black screen.. Not detected on USB, just nothing.
After that, I tried everything that was possible (a lot of combo's, Odin3..)
Then, I bought a JIG, but still nothing, I tried with some different combo's (I can't remember which ones..)
Now, I would like to recover my Captivate! But.. how ?
If someone find the final good solution, I would like to donate via Paypal
Thanks, in advance!
Need more info. Which rom? Did you use 3 button fix? Have you tried adb? What about holding volume down while plugging in usb? Are you sure battery isn't just dead (dont laugh, its happened)?
If you did all that, its most likely a hard brick. There are developers here that offer JTAG service.
As I said, I don't remember the ROM. I was trying every new ROM, so, I really can't remember.. Sorry
About 3 button fix.. I don't know what it is exactly !? If it is vol down+up+Power, yes I did !
Nope, I did not try ADB.. I tried to find informations about this, but I cannot find! If you can help me about this, u'r' welcome !
Vol down does nothing..
I think my battery is still alive. Because when I plug my charger on it, it becomes a little warm after some hours, so I guess it's still alive..
I saw some JTAG infos, but I don't know what to do.. Do I need to send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA !? It's like 40$ to send a secured shipping to USA..
Thanks for trying to help me!
If a jig will not turn it back on you may need the jtag. There are threads about it.

Is that possible to buy a JTAG ? I think I can't make one..
I made some searchs on eBay but I found nothing.
Thanks for helping
EDIT : I installed ADB on my computer, now I would like to connect it to my phone, but.. Don't know how!? What combo do I need to do, for my captivate be recognized by ADB ?
Thanks.

JTAG is not something you can buy on ebay. As mrhaley said, you need to send your phone to one of the developers who offer JTAG service. They will fix it and send it back to you.
Download AIO toolbox, go to advanced and clock reboot into download mode with your phone on and it will go to download mode, no jig needed. it worked for me just now.

Thank you guys for these answers.
* The problem is that I cannot send my Captivate to a JTAG's owner in USA,
because it's approximately 40$ fees to send it ! Then, with a return, it makes a total of 80$..
* Another problem is that I bought my captivate on eBay, and it's not under warranty..
* Maybe it remains the "ADB" solution (I never tried this), but I don't know how to connect my phone? because it stays turned off, then if I connect, I just get nothing..
Adb doesn't work unless you can get into the OS. You have a brick, jtag is your ONLY option of getting a working phone.

Ok, I understand, but .. How could i use a JTAG if I cannot send my Captivate to USA ? (too much expensive!). Thanks
It's either bricked forever or you pay for jtag. Those are your only options.

How are you at soldering? The captivate is one of the hardest phones to jtag, the solder points are smaller than the width of a dime, it would be really easy to fry the circuit board trying to jtag it yourself.

Do you think I can still sell my Captivate, for those who want to repair/fix or use parts? If I can, what kind of price? (my captivate is in perfect state, like new)
There's a user from XDA forums,Mcguyver1980. In one of his posts says he's in Belgium and can fix bricked phones. I don't know anything about this guy personally, but since you're about to scrap your phone I figured it wouldn't hurt for you to check if this guy is legit. Just make sure he understand it's a hard brick.

I bought my phone in december/january 2011.. But the seller did not say it was under warranty I received the original box .. So, do you think its under warranty ? But I guess postage is at my expense..
Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've been living on the edge, like many of us LOL, and i finally got hard bricked. No battery charge, logo, download mode. Nothing. Just a black screen.
I was using ICS stunner 1.4.26 and decided to flash Catastrophic Meltdown 9 (CM9 for friends). The problems was that my battery died when it was installing the kernel, or the boot, i dont know.
So, i have been reading a lot those days but nothing seems to work. I have ordered a Jig but i think is not going to work. Yesterday i used windows, and something was detected when i plugged in the usb, but Odin not.Today it does not work, and windows doesnt play any sound. Any idea? A Jag?
I should say this is the best mobile phone i have ever touched. I would be eternal grateful with all of you if we could fix this mess. I was aware that there were risks. Im aware now maybe i cant fixit and im not gonna blame anyone because it was my responsability, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, nothing worked (tried the JIG). I had to send it in for repair, but they didn't see that it was my fault (still had warranty).

From my experience the only way u can get ur phone back in service is go to ssc and make some reasonable reason why ur phone is dead, so u can still claim for warranty and I am sure they will replace ur engine/mobo like my friends did a month ago.

It has nothing to do with your battery dying and everything with trying to flash CM9 directly from super-dangerous LP5 or LP6 leak ICS kernel.
No jig or JTag will revive your phone now.
However, if your Note refuses to go into download or recovery mode, you are in luck - if you have a warranty, that is. Just take your phone to the service center and tell them that it died when updating via Kies. There is no way for them to tell what had really happened and they will have to replace your motherboard free of charge.
Sadly, jig didnt solve the problem. Battery isnt hot when plugged in, is my motherboard fried by flashing the note?
Could a jtag solve the problem?
Try to take it back in for warranty before attempting a JTAG and voiding the warranty (that they can tell)

I got the same problem few days back..I went to service center and said that i got an ota update and after downloading had completed,it started rebooting and there i got some errors and finally my phone is dead
They were unable to find the exact reason why it got bricked as it was unable to enter download or recovery mode
So they replaced the motherboard under warrenty
Better this it once
All the best :good:
I dont think that warranty thing is gonna work, because i have lost some inside cover screws... yeah, thats a long story trying to fix it. If i borrow a motherboard... could i recover my data? because thats all i want at the moment. Or, is there any website where i can buy it? Otherwise, im going to try it with the warranty...

@OP : Y U NO repair it in samsung service center? It's your fault so don't be so cheap with your phone.
They say they will change the motherboard.
But I think they are actually using Jtag to restore the phone! I think motherboard has the IMEI number assigned to it. Mine did not change even after I unbricked my phone with service center after using rom manager.
There is no spare parts for Ace in the grey market! Best thing to do will be giving it to service center!

go to the service center and use ur warranty.
If ur warranty is gone, make up an excuse.
One time, that happened to me and they didn't accept the warranty. sayin' its my fault?!
So, i made up an excuse saying that i thought this was a game and it sounded so fun...bla bla bla
I installed it then clicked on that, and then my phone didn't open.
and they got trolled, and accepted it.
man is your phone hard bricked or soft bricked
if it is a soft brick then it would get fine by simply flashing it with a new stock rom
is it hard bricked "means when pressing the power button and even on connecting it with a charger there is no response" then you have to get it's mother board changed from a service center and if it is in warranty then told tell them that it was rooted just say that it stopped working while using maps or any other pre-installed app.

I'm not sure if this will work since I'm new to this however if your phone is detected by your PC when you connect it then maybe try installing some kind of a ROM using Odin
Correct me if I'm wrong but I would have done that if that was my case. And again I am not sure if it is even possible because I don't know how Odin works to the fullest but I know it can install Roms to a phone from the PC only as long as its connected
Again correct me if I am wrong

If you can go to downlad mode, than you are not bricked your phone. Reflash or use guide to get back to GB.
P.S. Oh, didn't see your first post. You can go to some service to see if they can fix it with Jtag.

usb jig will work only if your device is not dead that mean when you press power button if you get some splash screen or stuck at boot logo then usb jig will work but if no response from power button then usb jig will not work for you.
And the solution for the boot repair is using jtag riff box. Its not good idea to buy riff box just for your one phone its better to take it to service centre for repair.
And also there is a elite developer Adam Outler who can fix it messing with the hardware you can see his threads.
Anyway good luck :good:

How can you not have warranty? The phone is barely an year old right? I think it launched in Europe during April 2012 or something.
Grey market purchase?

Go to Customer care, act like a fool, tell them anything like u were upgrading from froyo to gb via kies and suddenly power went off and now device isn't booting at all
They will replace motherboard free of cost (if its in warrenty)

thanks for the reply man
but
my phone is not under warranty
any other options ?
other than replacing the motherboard....there is something called a "JIG"...no clue though as to how it works.
can this be repaired at unauthorized service centers without replacing the motherboard....

Only motherboard can help. JIG is working, but for total brick it won't work.

Deja vu
This has happened with me too. Got my mini hard bricked and it was not under warranty. They will charge 5k for replacing the motherboard. I suggest you get yourself a new device instead of getting this repaired for 5000

My frnd told me earlier, what he did was, he went to his frnd's shop and made a new fake bill with date for under warrenty
Now go to cc with fake bill, in countries like india this will work but this will work only if u havent gone to care before cuz once u go there, they have saved copy for bill for first time
Try this only if u dont have any other option left instead of buying a new device
Whats wrong in trying, worked for my frnd he was lucky enough
