my phone doesn't turn on. the screen is completely dead. i will try odin though. but what do i do if my phone is completely dead? i heard of oneclickunbrick but im new to linux and i have no clue how to run it. what else can i try?

Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin
Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

Kabooot - it looks like your /efs folder is corrupt. If you have made a backup of that folder, you can try restoring it. There are some pointers on this thread.

Since you can get to the downloading screen I would suggest you reinstall JM9 following the instructions carefully.

thank you for your reply
If following all that stuff from the link does not work (I hope it does!), then you might try to flash a firmware with Odin, and select the option "Phone EFS Clear".
NOTE: I am not entirely sure this is safe!
But when I had the EXACT same problem you are having, I reflashed my phone like 20 times with many different firmwares, and a few times I selected that option. Then one time... just randomly... my phone started working, and I even got back my original IMEI and stuff.

I think he is a young kid & may not have a lot of experience/patience of many of us here, I think some patient soul here can guide him to flash an official ROM over Kies. I think Kies can see the phone in download mode & can update the firmware.
Have you solved your problem yet?

[Q] Bricked captivate!!!

I was trying to use odin and now im stuck on this screen thats black and has a phone with a warning sign between the phone and the computer picture, and ive tried using the volume up/down w power method but that doesnt work, how do i fix that...?
Get to download mode,reflash. Also, download whatever you were flashing again. Could be a corrupt download. Also check the sig link below for connection issues. Make sure your not having a problem with that. Last, make sure you have a good cable.
Check out the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" link that is in my sig link below.

Read the linked thread. It is easy.
If u tried everything in the "Captivate Connection Issues and Download Mode Help" link and it did not work, then u r gonna need a jig.
Check my sig link again for Linux Mode Detector. You'll know if you are hard bricked or just black screen bricked.

I'm going to ask a potentially dumb question - you are doing all of this on a Captivate, right? I only ask because your signature mentions that you use an Evo 4G, and if that's the case, things might not line up.
If you are on a Captivate, what Rom are you running?

Look in sig link, "Download Mode". One of those methods has to work. If not a single one of those methods worked, you would have a paperweight that used to be a cell phone. Make/buy a jig. If the phone boots up and is usable, even if it is stuck on a stock rom, use it that way until a jig can be ordered and delivered. You can try to make one, but are difficult to make work.

[Q]How to unbrick?

OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!
Try connect phone to charger and we will see.
thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:
You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.

I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it

AW: [Q]How to unbrick?
Take battery out, wait 30 minutes Start Odin in your pc plug in the USB cable To the phone, press and hold the button Combo for download mode and take in the battery
sometimes this works, our phone is very hard To brick
i verified my battery with a multimeter and it's giving me Voltage.
unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.
thank you guys again.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.

Dead Boot

Cheers,
Yesterday while I was using my phone (just the usual email/facebook), my phone began getting slow and sometimes unresponsive. So what I did
is that I turned it off, and back on again, however, when it booted it just stuck on boot animation, after this I turned it off again and this time
removing the battery, then placed the battery back again and tried to turn it on, however, from this point onward it wont turn on anymore.
The screen just remains black and nothing is happening. So i brought it to my nearest Samsung shop and they told me that its in Dead Boot,
and that according to them they will have to do it via JTag (no idea what this is) and that it would cost me (roughly 60$), and that
they are still not sure whether it'll be fixed.
Is there really no other way for me to fix it, without being to costly in my part?
Randy.

Try flashing stock rom from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
You may need to become a member(it's free) to download. Once you download the rom for your region and device, unzip the file and flash the .tar.md5 file in odin

EMMC Brick Bug takes another phone down. Unfortunately the EMMC is dead. You can try and take it to a specialized repair shop and have the EMMC replaced. But it would probably be very expensive. Download mode works because the SoC actually boots for download mode, EMMC is not accessed. Nand erase all is useless in this case, and Kies doesn't know what to do.

It will work normally, but make sure to take an i9300 motherboard for the normal S3 and an i9305 motherboard for the i9305. And also make sure to not damage anything. And not loose any screw (lost one already and regret it).
The IMEI will be different (if you have the box) but other than that, make sure the motherboard is tested, works 100% and doesn't have any problem.
Don't forget to push the tanks button just in case

how to change IMEI.... i wish to put my old IMEI ( in Box ) any option??
Very tricky, may not work and it could possibly blacklist both the IMEIs. Generally, IMEI copying is done using specialized programmes, but it is not generally both allowed, practical and in some parts, or global, ILLEGAL.
