Yes, that. Thanks ThaiDai i was too busy panicking to give details.
Well, I got extremely, extremely lucky this time; got the frame off and myself and a guy i know from the phone shop spent a lot of time VERY CAREFULLY pulling the card-adapter out, et voilá working Note. Could not be more happy, but dont recommend attempting this without technical help. This could have gone all sorts of wrong.
Solved!

Not entirely sure but can you get into the 3 button download mode? (Guide in general section). Also posting in the dev section will not help as that section is for developers not for questions about phone problems.

Hi,
I dont want to be rude but...
It's always an emergency, the fact is, it's a Forum, not a chat, let ppl the time to answer, don't urge them or you'll get 0 answers. Plus you didn't search enough, because everything you need is around... just try to use the search button.
You ****ed up so help yourself and don't be lazy...search: JIG/JTAG

If you know about JIG/JTAG so you supposed to know that's the only way in your case, no miracle, sorry.
Hope you sort it out that way, GL.
well i was hoping there was some other way of doing it to this. as seems results are scattered. y i posted here.
well thanks anyway
If it's truly an emergency you could try the heat trick, although jig will be infinitely safer.

The heat trick is a legend...made by ppl who actually have not really bricked or semi-bricked their phones (just a lucky coincidence). He'll only manage to kill his phone for real.

kinda reminds me of the old xbox has broken heat trick. if it did work i think the life of my fone would be shortened. it seems to have totally died now (guess coz cant charge) so im going to have a my fones stopped working chat. i think im still in the 28 days so hopefully they will just replace it. thanks all for the help
and sorry if seemed fussy - i know its my fault but there has always been some kind of software fix with my old htc's guess i rid on hope lol

I seem to be getting that impression too. on a worse case with any of my HTC phones i ever had i could do something to get it working. and i have had some **** ups happen. this was a stupid mistake and im sure on a forum where we have oms posted for both i cant be the first person to click the wrong one as im getting the idea they are simular but hey its a brick now. so carphonewarehouse i go. and just hope they cant switch it on and see the at&t screen lmao.
I had a similar result a couple of weeks back after trying to flash hardcore's speedmod kernel CWM version in Odin - not very sensible...
Couldn't get into download mode at all. After panicking for a couple of hours, I removed the battery for 2 hours, reinserted it and all was good - i.e., got download mode back.
Worth a try, you're not going to make it any worse. Hopefully... Good luck.

[Discontinued]- Stock GT-P6800 *Rooted, Deodexed and Zipligned*

Hey Everyone. I just wanted to let all of you know that I am very sorry about the screw-up on my part that led to damage of a few users devices. The error was all mine and it is inexcusable. Please know that I take this very seriously, to the point of losing sleep over it. As I have stated many times, I would like to pay for the cost of the bricked users JTAG repairs. Please just PM me.
I also want to apologize for my defensive attitude over the course of the past couple of days. I have never screwed up like this on these forums and I wasn't sure how to handle it.
There is some good news that has come out of this, however. I have been working with Task650 of GT 10.1 fame, an amazing dev and person, I might add, and we have come up with a beta ROM that I am running now that will be safe to flash and better than the original ROM I posted in terms of speed, stability and overall performance. I plan to have a private beta, and will ask for testers in a separate thread after Task650 and I have made sure that everything is OK and it is ultra-safe...
I have been humbled a great deal through this experience, and I believe it will make me a better developer. I have already learned a lot from Task and all of your posts, and I hope that I will be able to earn your trust with smooth, stable and innovative ROMs to come.
Steve

Whoah....
People are getting bricked? WTF? Works fine on mine. I will remove right away. Is it working for others? To the solution, let me get this clear, you flash and the device wont even turn on at all? Also, please let me know what build you are coming from.
Thanks, and i am so sorry for any problems. Lets get this fixed.

In another thread, you said you bricked cooking your own ROM. So which is it? Not trying to be testy, just wondering, so I can figure out what the issue is.
BTW - where are the bricked users from?
OK
So, flashed again, still fine. THe issue must be with the couple/few people's devices that bricked, or the installation process was messed up in some way. BTW, am NOT saying its anyone's fault, just saying that there must be something unique to your tab, or how you installed that caused the problem. So, if anyone has been "bricked", please let me know the following:
1. You did a full wipe, right?
2. You flashed on galaxy tab 7.7 wifi and 3g, not the wifi-only version, correct?
3. Where are you located and what was your build before flashing?
I am not asking these questions to be rude or defensive, I just want to know what's going on. I have had thousands (over 10k) of people download and flash my ROMS (search "Magnolia" in XDA), and have NEVER had anyone brick their device on my ROMs. I am known and respected by most or all U.S. developers for Verizon, so I am not some hack.
Thanks.
Steve
One last question...
Can you power on while holding down the Volume up key simultaneously? I am guessing, no, but thought I'd check. I just dont see how a device can be bricked when there is no firmware/radio, etc. being flashed. Not saying it can't, but it's weird...
EDIT - Try removing the SIM, too.

Nope. Only two users have had problems with it, that I am aware of. The other 148 seem to have been fine. However, if you are not willing to take a risk, don't flash it. Simple.
Dont get me wrong dude... i already downloaded your ROM, but reading through the thread makes me think twice of flashing... Sorry if my post offended you... ill be traveling this afternoon so i cant risk flashing now because i need my tab... Anyway Thanks for the effort of this ROM...

Definitely not offended, sorry if I came off that way. I just wanted to clear up that it is apparently a VERY small minority (2 users, that I know of, and one other who bricked cooking his own ROM and then came here to state that he was bricked for some reason) that seem to have this issue, and, in fact, samsung tabs seem to have the "wont turn on issue" anyway, so I am not sure if it's the ROM, the devices, or what. I just don't like the dissemination of potentially misleading statements, intentional or otherwise.
Thanks again for your post.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000b Black Screen of the death! How to recovery?

Hi there,
I was installing the stock rom yesterday and the process failed when it was almost done at odin and now my SGS is death. I can't turn on downloading mode and the screen is dead. I can't see any logo, vib nor sound. Odin can't find it neither. It is so dead...
Did all I could (after a lot of reading!!) without success. Could anyone gimme a hint?
Galaxy GT-I9000B
I9000BGSMH
Dead as hell!
It was running with Cyanogen... let me know if I can provide more info.
Was trying this tuto and almost complete the quests when black screen of the death got me.

Did you follow and use the Files in the download as it shows you its for a SCH-I500 Fascinate phone
Which section did you follow no.4?
use a JIG
1 300k resistor 1/4 watt
1 1k resistor 1/4 watt
a mini-USB Type B,
series resistance welded edges and mini usb connector on pins 4 and 5.
jig to connect the phone and presto, enters download mode and you can flash the stock rom.
sorry for my eng

Yeah! I just realized it when it was too late... too much information. easy to get lost.
Yes I went thru section 4.
Now I just tried the USB Jig.. got none response. It might be serious...
Just did it.. nothing happens.
also tried Remove battery, SIM and SD card, Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time...

Oh wow! I don't think I can do it
I disassembled the SGS but the resistors are way too small. Incredible tiny little nothing!! lol
I may send the phone for professional assistance. I know someone that can make it for 50 bucks. I will give it a try.
Thanks everyone for the time and help. :good:
I will let you guys know what happened after get the phone back.

IT IS ALIVE! Jtag RiFFBox for the win!
The guy fixed my SGS with Jtag RIFFBox and he was able to recover the correct firmware for 50 bucks here in Brazil.
Thank you a lot EwOkie for all your attention and help. I will be more careful reading posts but I really can't complain cause I've learned a lot messing around with my SGS for 50 bucks (US). If it was the price that's not bad
Problem is solved! No panic when you can't boot your phone or even turn it on. There's always a helping hand here and Jtag Riffbox for the worse cases. :good::laugh::victory:

[Q] Captivate gone off , bricked , dead ?

Problem:
Captivate is bricked. It wont boot , it doesnt charge , except it gets heated thats all . Nothing works.
Since no boot , system / ODIN doesnt recognize
its just like a paper weight. I have tried in some shops here , no one knows what is the problem. !
any help will be lovely !
even the JIG doesnt work...

yes ...i have seen that ... The mod is kind of not available here ..and also i am not very good in electronic !
- thread is in wrong section, nothing to do with Android development
- no information on how this happened and I can't find my crystal ball
- the only option you have is to try blind flash, screen driver may be the problem
- if bootloaders are messed up, then you have no chance to fix the issue at home
if the jig doesn't work, i think it's only riffbox that can save your phone

mini convert to tv

Hello!
I have a s3 mini with a broken screen and a dead battery + the proximity sensor is dead...
Now to repair it it's gonna cost more then getting a new one.
Can I convert it to different display? e.g. tv or monitor with hdmi/dvi input?

then perhaps you should not waste everyone's time by posting a thread when you already know the answer
if you had bothered to search you would have found several comments from people who have tried and not managed to get it working
and this is samsung s3 mini
not sony s3 mini
I know the answer yes, it's possible I just don't know how...
Probably I shouldn't ask this in a s3 mini forum, u really cant be nice if u own a s3 mini... Like the previews owner of mine that threw it in a wall.

feel free to show proof that it is possible, to my knowledge there is no hardware support aside from serious hardware modification to do this

just limited on patience for dumb end users who choose to be rude and are also too dumb to search for answers before posting nonsense

that is a usb device that connects to the TV that allows you to share movies and pictures
that hardware has been designed to do that
as i have already stated, unless there is a detailed hardware spec of the device you cannot modify the phone to cater for your requirements
sure go ahead and experiment with connections and soldering different points on the board, but unless you have the information you stand a high chance of either damaging the phone further or burning your tv hdmi port
so has there been any information found on how to do this?
please share as i am keen to see the results of your investigations and testing

Well my friend that studies electro studies (or whatever it's called in english) says it's possible but it need some things configured, and it's a lot of work..

it's also possible to fly to space but it requires some things configured
my statement still stands that it is currently not possible
no one has tried or even likely to bother trying since there is no detailed technical spec document shared to the public
It would take days maybe even longer to be able to map out the full circuit board just to understand what happens where and what is needed to make the conversion
just accept this and leave it at that
