[Q] My GNote hard-bricked? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Things I did:
1. Want to try out the JellyBAM ROM
2. Installed CWM and rooted the phone
3. Wiped user's data
4. Began flashing the ROM
But then I remembered that I haven't clear the dalvik cache yet and when I look at the ROM installing progress, it wasn't moving so I think something really did went wrong. Then I tried to reboot it into recovery mode again but it won't switch on any longer. Plugged into the pc, nothing, no charging sign, nothing at all! I can't neither go into recovery mode nor the download mode as well...sigh......
Is there still hope for my phone?

how did you install CWM?

If nothing works, try to get it repaired under Warranty, else as a final resort try jig.

Well, the phone was bought some time in the second half of year 2011, so I'm not sure whether or not the warranty still valid though…sigh. As for the jig, I've read that it won't really work all the time?

Warranty normally covers one year, yet check with a samsung dealer.

You may also give more details, such as which rom and kernel you were using, which cwm version, what happened during flashing via Odin, so that experts suggest better.

here i saw this :
Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1810954 and i clicked on last link and via Odin installed CF Root kernel CF-Root-SGN_XX_DBT_LRQ-v5.6-CWM5.zip , i done that and later install TriangleAway v1.95.
Than wanted to install ROM LiquidSmooth » JellyBean RC 3 » 29th Sept, and i wanted to do via CWM mode, and all goes good untill i saw on display : Erasing the system.....i wasnt near phone 1 minutes and display was black/turned off. I aited some 20 minutes, and nothing. Than i decided to try to turn on, nothing, dead. I leave battery out for some time, put back battery....nothing happened. PC cant see phone via USB.

Press vol down, power house 20 seconds, Vol up later. Connect your phone to your computer and see if the phone detects PCOdin.
If it detects three file upload stock ROM GB.
tried all that, nothing happened. Battery is charging when i connect charger, i can feel phone is hot.
still dead
PC Odin does not see your phone? And the computer when connected to the phone seems a sound?
odin cant see my phone, no sound when connecting phone to PC via USB
You probably do not have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer.
Download Kies network and install the drivers off Kies. Start Odin and try again later steps in my first message. Do not worry about the black phone screen. It is important that Odin saw the phone
he installed cf root kernel via Odin so drivers should be there right?

[Q] LG990 won't boot.

I installed a rom called Eaglesblood from ROM Manager.
When it was all installed, the phone just loops and won't start. The only thing that is showing is the Eaglesblood logo. I tried to boot ROM Manager, but it wont start since the LG logo is not showing.
Is there anything I can do?
One more thing, I tried to connect it to the computer and it is charing, but it does not show as any device on the computer though.
You must wipe your phone before installing a new rom, otherwise you can get bootloops, try it good luck

You must reboot in cwm and there you can wipe the phone... in option advanced are mire wipe option, best way to install a custom rom is making a fullwipe.. whatch in xda there are many guides for this.

I tried to access the CWM by holding the Power and -Vol on the phone. The phone just boot up and doesn't even go into the cwm. The Eaglesblood logo just repeats all over.
I can take pictures if you like, if it is easier to understand.
Is there anyway to access the phone by USB? I can't even find it on the PC when I plug it in, it just charges itself

If you are unable to recover your phone you can always use NVflash. It will flash one of the first Froyo versions on your phone. Then you can root it, install ClockworkMod and install any ROM you like.

It's low level flashing so use it only when there is no other option.

Thanks! But I still have an error trying to connect my phone to the computer. The USB is charing the phone, but the computer won't recognize the device. It doesn't even popup anything.
I have windows 8 on my desktop, and I tried to plug it in the laptop aswell, but it doesn't do anything. And yes, I have the LG drivers installed already.
If you remove battery and you push vol down key and power button and you connect to usb then you get into recovery mode?

No, it doesn't. The LG logo is just flashing then it turns black and repeats itself like that.
However, i tried only to hold down the vol-down button and plugged the USB in and then it starts something saying:
"S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading..." but it does not show up on the PC as if it was connected.
Yes, so try to reflash cwm.. look at the guids in the section android development..

I'm very thankful for linking me this, but the problem still exist that I can't find my device on Windows. If i remember correctly, the USB connection to the phone stoped to work when I fixed root access to the phone and the CWM.
Is there anything I can do to fix this USB connection issue?
Try this, you can get to the stock via s/w upgrade and smartflash this must work, there is a completr tutorial how to get on stock via smartflash. I hope i can help

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S - Buttons not working

Hello I am new here ;P
Yesterday my phone won't boot anymore so I kinda had a problem. The software I had installed was:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-0-4-ics-for-galaxy-s-i9000/
I was trying to get my phone back working and looked up some guides online. I tried to use the same guide I used before ( up here) but that won't work. So I kept looking to get my phone back working and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
I picked this one:
I897UCKJ3 Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
And just put my phone in download mode and installed it.
My phone booted again and I was able to use it but now I have some major issues..
- My home button is not working anymore.
- My back button works like a home button and closes all my apps
- The volume buttons don't work anymore
- When i plug it in my computer or the outlet to power it, it turns off. So I can't take things of it to my computer
Also my 3G isn't working anymore. I can't use it anymore now and I have no idea how to fix this :S IF anyone has a solution that would be great.
Otherwise I will try to bring it to the store..
Use this Odin or Heimdall i897ucKK4 One Click. It will do a full wipe and will get u back to Stock GB 2.3.5

U could also try to clean out the micro usb port and try a different cable.

Have you tried only using the down volume for recovery?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yep. Good call ko. .... Since he flashed i9000 firmware and it may have included bootloaders (i didn't look at the link that close)...
Download = power button and volume down together.
Recovery = power button and volume up together.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
If I hold the power button + volume down it shows me the At&T logo and then just starts up my phone without getting into download mode! :S
Try the above download method with ur phone powered off if u didn't already. If a no go then try below...
Open Odin or Heimdall (whichever u decide to use), Pull battery, replace it and cover, connect usb end of ur cable to the pc (not in a hub, but preferably a port in the back of the pc), hold both volume up and down together and then insert micro usb into phone. Does ur phone go into Download mode ? If so, proceed.

Be sure to have a constant power source and a reliable cable when flashin bootloaders. During the few seconds it takes to flash the boot.bin and sbl.bin, u don't want to loose power or usb/micro usb connection.

Okay I did that and I manged to install that one click i897uckk4.
It installed the new software and all my apps are gone again but still the home button is not working and the back button still closes all my apps.
And for future reference, once u have these bootloaders flashed that r included with the kk4, there should be no need to flash back to stock with bootloaders again. If u ever need to flash stock i897 firmware again, just use one without bootloaders.

Not sure why ur home button is not working and back button acts like home button ??? May be capacitive hardware issue ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I have no idea why these buttons are doing so weird but I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware problem because only when I installed this they stopped working. Are there any other versions I can try like the one I had before or would that totally destroy my phone?
I was trying to follow this tutorial to get it back running again but since I couldn't get into download mode I never did that:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-4-1-galaxy-s-i9000-install-remics-jb-rom/
Can I just follow that guide now or would that get into trouble with the stuff I just installed?

U don't need to flash that stuff in the guide u linked, because that is only for i9000.
There are other firmwares u can try to flash in that thread where the kk4 is located. Just use the ones without bootloaders.

Galaxy note dead !! Help !!

hello
i have Galaxy Note running ICS ROM based on samsung rom

1-download JELLYBAM ROM
2-copy JELLYBAM ROM to the SD CARD
3- wipe date (factory reset)
4-after i accept installing the rom my galaxy note freeze
i pull out the battery then i pull it in again and tunt it on but he won't turn on !!
sorry for my english
So you made a factory reset on a stock ICS. This might result in a bricked device. But let's hope it didn't.
Can you start the recovery or the download mode? (pressing three buttons at the same time: Home, Vol up or down (recovery or download) and then Power button. Hold it until you see recovery or download mode)
If so you can use PC Odin for installing a new Rom

This isn't good. Never install Roms when battery is under 50%. So I guess you didn't read so much before trying to install a Custom Rom.
First try to charge your battery (outside of the device) in another Note or with a charger.
Then try it again.

Before getting all these Problems, I wanted to get a CustomROM on my phone. Android 4.0.4 was installed at that point of time.
I rooted my phone and did a backup with CWM. Then i chose wipe data, while doing that I started to charge my phone (I don´t know if that matters). I didn´t see what happen exactly because i wasn´t looking at my phone all the time, but when i looked at it again there was only the charging sign shown. Then I tried to get into recoverymode again. This wouldn´t work. I tried to flash CWM with Odin which worked after some time. Then I tried to Wipe data and cache again. wipe data wouldn´t work. Wipe cache worked. I tried to install the backup. After waiting for more then 1 hour it looked like nothing happend and the installation was stuck. But the regular recovery of Android was installed.
Because flashing a ROM through CWM wouldn´t work, I tried to flash it through Odin. First time I tried with a Gingerbread Version. I was thinking, I don´t care which version as long as it works and try again to install a CustomROM from there on. Odin stopped at NAND Write Start!!. Tried it with the ICS Stock version. Same thing.
This is where I am at now
MY POST TO HIM:::::
Why did u buy SGN? To brick it?
Do you even read and search before doing something for the first time?

How much sweat did you get in your phone? I have had my phone in pouring rain, got water in the sensor, and rubbing alcohol the whole nine and my phone functions just like it came out the box. Are you running a custom recovery?

@BACARDILIMON is correct, get it replaced!
Definetly leave out the sweat part. U plugged it in last night and when u woke up phone was off. You powered it up and u got a weird blue screen. Done
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Lets just say when I woke up the phone was under me, and its not a blue screen, it is saying Samsung galaxy note 4 with recovery in blue at the top, phone didn't work for a day, now it is at least doing that, but yeah maybe something is ruined on the board but thanks for all of u guys comments, positive and negative, that's what this site is for, people who voice their opinion so I will wait a few days to see what the phone does then eventually get another one, thanks again guys

So let me get this straight, you are in bootloop (phone not broken) and you have the tiny blue letter that says going to recover but you never go into recovery? Your recovery is messed up...
So when you ODIN, assuming you are doing it properly (bad wires can give false "passed" status and you will bootlop) If you have a bad Odin, you will bootloop.
Make sure to ODIN and uncheck "reboot" and once odin is done, try to go into recovery yourself and wipe your data.
I will suggest better wiring as well. A simple good ODIN will get you back on track my friend
I will try it tonight, thanks
MAKE SURE YOU FACTORY RESET BEFORE BOOTING THE NEWLY FLASHED FIRMWARE.

Can you flash a custom recovery like TWRP via odin and boot into that?

Your recovery didn't stick. It shouldn't be a huge deal. You need to start over. Flash TWRP via ODIN. The phone won't let you boot into any ROM if it doesn't think a recovery is installed. By trashing to flash the stock firmaware it tried to flash the stock recovery over TWRP and it didn't work. If flashing TWRP in ODIN doesn't work, you may want to try to flash the stock recovery image by it self. My guess is that once you get a working recovery installed on the phone it will boot up just fine.

This is my thought. I had this same exact mess happen, on the note 3 though, and it was from a borked recovery. Once I got that part corrected I had no more problems. Flashing a stock image didn't work but forcing TWRP to the recovery partition did. Took me a while to decide to go that route for whatever reason.

Use ODIN 3.09 or above, the other ones were giving problems. I read that somewhere.
