I tried updating my 2.1 to 2.2 using the update software setting in my phone and the download stopped at 5%. It asked to retry and I went back to home and tried it again. I pressed resume updating and the phone automatically went to restart my phone and apply the update, even though the update was not finished downloading! Now the phone does not turn on at all or responds to common key combos. Now I messed it up for real. What are my options?
thanks

Try to find a local warranty shop. They will replace it as long as you bought it les than a year ago

Call at&t tell then that story get a replacement. That ota update is known to cause bricks idk why its even there,
firmware upgrades are done from your computer with a program from samsung called kies.

Making me double post and look like a jackass.

I bought this phone on eBay though. It is probably older than 1 year. Should I still go to ATT?

i doubt they will replace it...
at this point you are gonna need to get it jtag debricked.
user adam outler offers the service for $30
and user connexion2005 (of mobiletechvideos.com) offers it for $50
pm either of them...

Because the wi-fi and bluetooth does not work and the diagnosis assistance in samsung found this failure. And the motherboard for the GT P1000 is very expensive here.

How much?R u not inside warranty?

I wouldn't rely on Samsung assistance. I would really like you to install a different ROM. Try Overcome 7 4.1.0
I don't have the specifics, but usually it's a ROM problem that causes WIFI and BLUETOOTH to stop working.

Motherboard GT-P1000
Motherboards go for about 180-200 $ + shipping. You can have a look at that alibaba website. There is a supplier selling also small quantities. It is nevertheless probably cheaper to get a faulty one (e.g. with broken glass) and just replace the LCD and glass.
Furthermore they will most likely only accept regular money transfer and you will have no warranty that the requested item will arrive.
That usually is no problem as dealing with chinese companies is a more or less reliable matter but you never know, if the parcel gets lost or broken or wet or whatever.
Motherboard is the most expensive part on a GT-P1000.
Good luck

Yes, I already knew the site Alibaba, but hoped someone direct me to someone else.
First I'll try to reinstall the root suggested and then see what is the result. It may be that result. Who knows?

[Q] Availability of Replacement Motherboard for Hard-bricked N7000?

I've a hard-bricked GNote. Plz don't ask why and how I managed to screw it. I cannot regret enough myself. Never intended to and usually I take good care by reading before doing something potentially risky. It's just that the temporary cwm.zip was on that note for long, and it was downloaded and used for rooting before it was discovered and marked as dangerous and I did not visit XDA meanwhile.
Anyway, it has been more than a month now. The device is super-hard bricked. Nothing can revive it. It's totally dead; no display, download or recovery modes. Has been tried for JTAG and met with failure (eMMC seems to be damaged altogether). So the only thing left to do is to replace the motherboard. The seller from whom it was bought claimed that it had international warranty at the time it was sold. However, after this disaster, I discovered this particular unit has no warranty by Samsung (was strange for me). I have contacted Samsung UAE, Samsung South Africa, and Samsung USA and all of them refused to extend any help. The local Samsung service center would charge me $400 (yes that's correct - US$400 equivalent in my currency) for replacing the motherboard.
I might use some help here by getting information on whether the motherboard can be obtained from some other place, and how much would it cost. I have access to UAE or Singapore (friends visit these places). If someone can help me with this information on how much it would cost me to get a replacement MB from these markets or may be from the Samsung service centers there, it would really be helpful. Any help in this matter is much appreciated.

Hard bricked note
I have the same problem. if anyone can let me know whether ( & where ) i can get a replacement motherboard from any of the following countries in my region - Singapore , Malaysia, India or Srilanka, i have fiends in these places but they don't know where to look so if anyone can point me in the right direction. if i can get replacement i have technician who can get it done.
FYI - I live in Maldives ... which is a small Indian ocean island nation. Few Hi tech service centers avilable but no spares.

If you think the cost of mobo is high or you can't get one,you could try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26285877 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26428986
Please note that the above methods are not permanent fix for superbricked phones....it just makes it usable again....And it also lessen your SD card space drastically....

I think sourcing the actual mobo's will be very difficult except on ebay, but they're likely to be damaged ones anyway, you might be lucky.
As above poster mentions, you can try a repartition as a workaround until there's a concrete fix.

@vijai2011 and @SpyderTracks, thanks for your suggestion guys, but probably you are confusing it with a super-bricked GN. There is no way I can repartition the eMMC as there is no bootloader. Without it, I cannot go into download mode or have PC connectivity of any kind, whatsoever. MB replacement is my only option.

What I'm suggesting is the only way to replace emmc is by replacing the motherboard, and samsung is the only place that will do it, or any insurance place who'll probably send it to Samsung. Sourcing motherboards is notoriously difficult outside of a service center. It's the whole board that needs replacing not just the chip as it's embedded.

I guess the best thing for you is to acquire the eMMC chip and just take the defective chip out and replace it with another one (not entirely the entire motherboard). I'm not sure though how you can accomplish this feat but someone (courtesy of 'dekelm8' from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698977&page=59) was able to secure a replacement chip from this website - http://www.suppliesnow.nl/english-product-1108-000424.htm and http://www.aswo-elektronik.hr/eng/index.html (you need to register to that website actually).
So far he indicated that he got the replacement chip (* I think). Now to the nature if he was ever able to replace the eMMC chip with his replacement one, that remains a mystery to me still.
Hope that helps something on your dilemma and Good Luck if your able to fix back your Note.

[Q] Jtag, IMIE, IMSI Unlock

Now Its my understanding that changing my IMEI number on my phone is so illegal that my grandchildren will serve part of my jail sentence..
I hard bricked my HTC ONE M7 and sent it to Mobile Tech Videos to be Jtag repaired. After about a month of hardly any communication and him finally saying that he revived my device but couldn't get it to unlock no matter what code was entered. I told him to send it back to me and I would figure something out.
Once I received my device back after a month I started doing some research and then ran a fastboot getvar all and noticed that my serial number was different and my IMEI number was different. Besides how upset I am about that my question is this..
How come its illegal for me to change my numbers but it seems when a Jtag service does it, that seems to be alright?
Now Im stuck with a device that is just as worthless as being hard bricked.
Wondering if I call ATT would they except my new numbers or just a waste of time?
Any thoughts?

It's not illegal to restore the original IMEI, as in a repair.
ATT won't help you with an unlock code for the new IMEI as they have no record of it.

Most likely you got a new motherboard. Also a few people reported unable to unlock after JTAG process. If your Imei is different, take a chance to get an unlock code
sent from my mobile device

My motherboard wasn't replaced as far as I know.
I played for a new unlock code but doesn't unlock my device.
My device won't even connect to the ATT network.
I've had a Samsung jtag repaired and everything worked great. I believe the connection problem is directly related to the shotty job done by the repair shop.

seems like your MB was replaced

The board was NOT replaced. Also, I'd stress here that you were actually refunded in full (not sure if that was ever mentioned). See the issue that causes this problem as I have outlined in some other threads below...
"We are continuing to dig for a solution but the issue is there is a unique identifier within the eMMC which is checked by the modem through amss.bin with an RSA certification. If this unique identifier is destroyed by user corruption (bricking the phone within that region) then there is currently no way to rebuild it. The most logical way to resolve this issue is to have a developer patch the modem/radio to bypass that check. It should be able to be done and is already being done on the N7100 and I9300 devices which were facing a similar issue...
-Josh"

Mobile Tech is well known and respected here. IF they said it cant be done and they did everything they could then you can trust that.
People need to understand that there is very real risk with what is done here. When you flash your device, you accept that you could brick the device and have to buy a new one. This is all part of game that we play. If you are not willing to accept that then dont mess around with a $600 dollar device.

Where do I start?

First of all I would like to make sure Josh (Mobile Tech Videos) and all the entourage are fully aware that Im not an idiot and I can clearly see whats going on here. If you want to continue on with the smoke and mirrors then that's fine we can play this game all year.
I was in fact refunded most of the charges but not all. And I was refunded by a "Paypal" screw up. So lets not get carried away with the sincerity of a half hearted %80 refund.
I dont care about the refund lets get that straight! From a business standpoint sending my phone to get fixed cost me a lot of money in a week but a month I could have bought a new one. I was told 3 days it took 5 weeks and still no phone or resolution. I have heard "Bad Brick" "Your Brick" "Unusually Bad Brick" and my favorite "Your unusual Brick". All these terms are usually defined as Hard Brick. I only sent my device to Mobile Tech to transfer liability of getting the shell opened. I paid for express service then a week later I get a call asking permission to take my device apart. Now... Im not familiar with an HTC One m7 Jtag procedure at all really but especially one through the micro port.
I tried to be patient and wasn't surprised that problems arose. I understand that somethings just cant be fixed but I have tried to communicate with Josh (the staff at Mobile Tech Videos) for over a month then finally i get a message apologizing for the delay and communications problems.
I would like someone to explain to me how all the "Bricked" terms differ please.. And im talking about Dead no response NOT SOFT Brick. My point is dont say you can fix something that you cant fix and if your experimenting with my device I dont care just let me know.
zelendel Must be affiliated with mobile tech or just enjoys swinging from his nuts.. Thanks for the PSA but I think everyone who flashes anything is fully aware of the dangers by the time they get to that point. I dont think anyone accidentally unlocks, roots, installs recovery, downloads the rom they want, and then wonders how they got there or if they can just hit the back button..
I can clearly see that the wide net of "I can fix any device or brick" needs to be reeled in. I will be posting all the posts and transcripts if I need to. I was told by Josh (the entire staff at mobile tech videos) quote "I have not been able to find a solution for this unusual problem and not fix is currently available" So I try and find a solution and all the sudden Im looking down the barrel of mobile tech riff with all the xda troll pose ready to blast me with a fart gun!
Yes thats what I think of the piss poor way this whole transaction as went down and gotten out of control. I would have never sent my device to mobile tech but the professionals didn't seem to have pinouts yet but somehow Josh did. Or did he??? RIP HTC M7

Note 4 tmo purchasing replacement motherboard

Hi, I finally gave up on trying to keep my note 4 revived but being in almost perfect condition, I made a decision to purchase a replacement motherboard.
Knowing people are trying to unload parts with the same issue, I chose to purchase a new one (as so it says)
After getting the part, I was able to install in about 25 min.
Booted up upgraded to latest firmware...
Ran good for 1 day before issues started!
The moral to the story is buyer beware!!?

I'm over UK for now but my Note 4 was out of warranty it's a Network 3 brand network factory unlocked. I had this same problem as everyone else here ddi : mmc_read fail got to a point where the freezer trick worked but I got fed up and took it to Samsung Service Centre on Friday. Told the the problem ad showed them video footage of the problem. They replace my motherboard with a brand new one and FREE of charge which was a bonus as I was going to break it down and sell it for parts. If there were sign of water damage they would of billed me for the work and new motherboard which is not cheap.. They did it on-site within 90 minutes..
It's always worth a try to go in house and ask..
They check the warranty with their database and not your bill invoice for the device.
