Hi everybody, I searched everywhere for a solution but no luck
i love my note so much that if i couldnt fix it i think im gonna kill myself.
let me tell you the whole story, maybe you can revive my note again.
im a daily rom flasher, sometimes even 2 or 3 roms a day,
i wanted to flash ics stunner rom so i went into cwm recovery,flashed the zip file and wanted to format data\factory reset, but while the phone was formatting i accidently pressed the power button, the phone was stuck and didn't complete formatting, i took the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone, it was stuck at the bootscreen GTn7000 Galaxy Note.
I got into download mode and flashed a stock rom, but it was the same.
i downloaded and flashed other stock roms but it was stuck at the bootscreen.
then i wanted to flash a stock rom that came with a Pit file, i did everythig correctly, and Odin was stuck at the partition thing, for more than 15 minutes.
i unpluged the phone i pressed the power button, NOTHING!!
i officially bricked my phone which i worked so hard for months to get it.
i tried everything,even the jig thing, i couldn't buy so i had to make one.
maybe i did somethig wrong with the jig or maybe because i didnt solder it or the usb plug im using isnt working.
this may be relevant, i pluged the usb OTG in the phone and in the OTG was a bluetooth peice for computers, the piece had a light, and the light was ON.
Another thing that if i leave the battery in the phone for a while, the camera area in the back gets a little hot, my phone always did that meaning its still alive.
i may have written too much, forgive me but im really desperate.
Thanks in advance.
You probably end up going to Samsung. Pay €200 and get a new motherboard.
Good luck.

First thing donot flash Ics now untill you are craze about it.2nd donot use CWM as much as possible.Read this.
Ok to the problem now.Since you say it gets hot,it might be still alive.Remove the battery and insert it after 10 secs and insert the jig and after few secs press vol up button.Now connect the phone to computer and see if its detected if it does try flashing abyy's kernel.I dont know which kernel for sure.Somebody might help you.People were able to get into DL mode when there screen were not showing anything.
There are situations when your phone is working, but your screen is black.
Let's hope yours is one of those...Try this:
1. Don't flash Abyss. Download a stock GB Rom instead.
2. Charge your phone for a couple of hours. You need your battery for the
following steps.
3. After charging, take out your battery and wait 1 minute
4. Put it back in
5. Boot into Download mode (Volume Down+Home+Power) (you will see only black screen)
6. Count to 10
7. Press Volume Up
8. Count to 10
9. Start your PC Odin
10. Connect your phone to PC
11. Wait untill PC installs the necessary drivers
12. If all goes well, your PC Odin will flash the yellow light with COM info in it
13. Flash your stock GB Rom
If this doesn't work, you'll need to think of the ways of getting your phone JTagged or where to get a new motherboard.
Dude, if you have no way of repairing a bricked phone in your country then stay away from flashing custom ROMs!!!

Bro as u mentioned already that u flashed stock once...all root and cmw will be wiped... i would prefer going to samsung service center and tell them that u were updating your phone through kies and after the update completed ur phone stopped working... they will fix it for free... and act innocent
Edit::: dint see the other post where u mentioned that there is no samsung center at your place... in that case theres only one thing u can do... buy the motherboard and fix it urself.... sorry that ur beast is dead

Your phone is pretty much dead I'm afraid
Why didn't you bother to read stickies first?
It has been known for several weeks now that doing a wipe from CWM in a leaked recovery (I.e all ICS ROMs except cm9 official) will lead to a corrupted emmc drive ,thus a dead phone
And no ,you pressing the power button had nothing to do with it being stuck
The moment you hit wipe from ICS stunner's recovery your phone was dommed.
Anyway what's done is done ,now find an unofficial repair shop and replace your motherboard.
I hope this makes it clear ,and good luck to you.

OK, how much will it cost me ?
by the way i forgot to mention that before i bricked the note, it had a charging problem, saying voltage too high,charging stopped,and when the phone is turned off the battery icon keeps appearing and disapearing, could it be that the jig is not working because of that??
Try a different USB cable?

You're not going to like this: I had to send my phone back to Samsung to get that fixed. Basically the charging port was shorting out, happens when stuff gets inside it (dirt, moisture, etc, from what I read). You could try cleaning it, but for me the port didn't break, it just acted like it was charging when there was nothing plugged in. So the JIG will work if it's supposed to.

Just out of curiosity: Are you in the US and had to send your international Note somewhere? I am wondering how one can get a support for an International Note if you're in the US.
I don't mind sending it to another country, but which Samsung center will accept it?

Hey Guys,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830), recently while uprading the my ace with the Cyanogenmod10, i had bricked my phone, now it never goes into the download mode so that i can flash the firmware with Odin. Actually yesterday, i used Rom Manager to Install the Custom Rom, and when said yes to install the custom rom, phone shutdown, and never started again, i googled around for some way out to go into the download mode, tried all the key combination, but could not go into the download mode, i tried the Home + VolumeUp and connected the USB to PC, with this method, my phone was detected, but because it was not in the download mode (i guess), so Odin just stucked at setup connection... and does not go further. Have anyone went through this dilemma, can anyone help me out of this, my warranty period is elapsed, so was thinking to get phone back to life myself.
Please anyone help me with this, i love the phone... I know that was my mistake to use Rom Manager to Install the Rom.
take it to the service. there is no other way. i tried everything, belive me. repairing costed me 200hrk (around 45$).
and
DONT USE ROM MANAGER
By taking it to a service center...Only way to recover it

They'll use a JTAG. You can do that to but they're really really really expensive.

actually i know they will be going to use that, but they says they will be replacing the motherboard and according to that they are charging, but i know they will not be going to replace motherboard, is there any way i can check whether they have replaced the motherboard or not, or is there any other way to make it work without going to the service center.

check the back of your phone.when you remove your battery you will see 3 gold squares..when you take it to the service center and it becomes 9 silver small squares it means that they didnt change the motherboard they just solder it to connect wires to the motherboard they used jtag...:cyclops:

Check for imei no. If they use JTAG it won't change since the motherboard/chip set of the phone is same.

Don't know where, but its more expensive than a brand new ace (and lots of low-mid range smartphones)
I bricked mine 1 week after getting it. I took it in and said it shut off and I can't turn it back on. They made sure it wasn't the battery, then replaced it under warranty. So if you still have a warranty, it's worth a try. The guys at the store won't know you've been screwing around with it.
To use Rom Manager you need a CM-compatible rom installed. It says that right on Rom Manager's download page. DO NOT USE WITH STOCK ROMS EVER!!!

Do you have recovery mode?
Hi guys, here's the story... I'm using ice cream sandwich 4.0.4 stock rom and attempted to upgrade it to jelly bean. I downloaded the custom firmware slimbean 4.2.2 for n7000. I rooted my note first using exynos apk file and it was successful. I placed the downloaded rom with gapps on my external memory and began puttng the phone to recovery mode. I flashed the slimbean and it says that it was installing so I thought everything is working fine and then suddenly the phone shuts down and it wont turn on anymore. I have tried several attempts getting the phone into download mode or recovery mode but no luck. Phone is not booting anymore. Yes, no splashscreen or whatever just blackscreen and its totally DEAD. I made my own jig and thinking this might work for me but unfortunately phone is not reacting but when I tried putting the jig on my s3 its working fine so its not the jig but the phone and when I observed the phone when battery is on, the phone gets hot meaning my phone is not totally dead. My battery has a charge so its not the battery at all. I've seen several article about this jtag thingy but dont have any idea how much will this cost but not planning to buy the jtag tool because I wanted to take it to a local repairshop here in the Philippines but i dont know how much will it cost me. Can someone please help me? Im really seeking for assistance here because warranty is already expired.

Yeah.. you flashed using stock recovery and stock kernel... ERROR
There will only be 2 options > try JTAG ( not 100%) or a motherboard replacement. JTAG is much cheaper that Mobo replacement,.
Not 100% for jtag? Aaaw. Im hoping not the MoBo.

Hi, the same thing happend to me on the n7000 of a collegue of mine. I already found a shop that can try a jtag. It costs about 50 euros. He said to take the phone to him and after he looks at it he will be able to tell me if he is able to repair it or not :| I'll keep you posted about the results. This n7000 was on 4.0.3 but the same slimbean rom. Imagine, it isn't even my phone. Hope i don't have to buy her another one :| If this goes well, or even if not, i am not touching any other phone again in my life !!! except mine ofc. :| Hope you will recover yours. GL to us both.

The thing is: why didn't you think about this before doing this? Do you have an insurance?
Maybe you should record the next meeting with your "friend".
Did you try the e2fsck check in hg42's thread? This helped in a few cases, maybe you are a lucky one.
Or the repartition trick? But you should inform your friend about the consequences.
Repartition?

Hi.
I have an S Advance. Installed the russian firmware, and I had some lag... Then I saw a new chinise fw on sammobile so I decided to try it out. The installation went fine odin says 'pass' then 'restart'. My phone turned off but did not started. Tried to turn on manually but nothing. No boot no download mode or recovery, nothing. Its like someone had removed the battery. I borrowed an USB JIG (tried it on other device and working) but it did not work on my phone. Normally I would have warranty BUT my binary counter is on 3 for obvious reasons. Now Im without phone hoping that I can still do something. So far spent hours searching the web and also here without any luck. Is there any way I can still fix this or Im screwed? And I mean literally cuz I dont have any money to send it back for repair. If it helps:
XXLQ4 - I had this with stock kernel
ZCLPB - This fw killed the phone (also stock kernel)
Any Idea?
When the Chinese firmware released, a few users reported that they Hard Bricked their phone by flashing it... So I went on with flashing the Indian firmware instead.... You should have tried with any other firmware mate but now I think your phone is "gone"....
Take it to Service center and if you are sure that you can't boot to Download or Recovery mode then tell them your problem.... They just might give you a new phone or try to fix yours..
I tried to flash the Brazilian JB rom (I9070VJLPA) and surprise: my handset was hard bricked as well.
Right now, my GT-I9070 are at Samsung Service Center (because I hadn't the guts to make an USB JIG myself).
I'm hoping that the guarantee is accepted. Although the counter is still zero (checked in triangleaway) and I flashed only stock firmware. But the old rom was Russian JB and they can find out and charge to unbrick the phone. Or worse, they can charge one new motherboard.

Just act dumb and tell them it all happened when u were updating through Kies. Many users have succeeded in doing so....

Well, I just said "it doesn't turn on". The attendant only tested a bit (tried to turn on the handset) and gave me the warranty service order and spoke to me that it will be ready at day 17.

You mean it'll get repaired in warranty and after 17 days your handset would be back.
He means it'll be ready in the 17th, I guess.

thats why you should check other's feedback onto the fw before flasing it -.- research more about the fw then if you saw a good LEGIT feedback then proceed to flash it. typical newbie behavior like me when i was still a newbie to XDA xD
My Gmini power button will not work on rom or recovery, but works to turn on.
this happened after catching a virus, but I already did wip at all, and not resolved.:crying:
Anyone know a way to fix or is hopeless :crying:

but at least it is possible to use it yet.
Repair
Give it to a repair shop (Where they repair your phone). This is the only way as you have tried all methods. Yet it costs some Rupees

Be careful..it might brick your phone completely as the power button is linked to motherboard. This has happened to my friend's mini, when he gave it in so called samsung service center....even they failed to repair power button and bricked his phone...they gave him a dead phone..
This is not the right section to post your questions/help....you should post this kind of questions in q/a section.

Dude, virus cannot affect your hardware. But still if you think then make a full.format
Go to cwm - mount - format system etc
P.S this will format your OS too u then need immediatly flash a rom.
Or
Open your galaxy mini
Clean power button
Re close it
It's simple YouTube it.

Thanks I never knew this I will also try my best to repair the phome by flashing
Thanks to everyone, I will continue trying to fix.
I tried this updating your phone through kies and then check or press emergency recovery button
There's no such thing as virus can affects the power button.
Really, Android malware isn't exact thing as Window's malware. Android's virus needs permission to make your power button not working.
This is a hardware problem, I believe. Try to send it to SSC.

And its better to visit phone shops so may check your phone problem.

This is true but you need to pay the amount they want when fixed.
I managed to fix the button. How? I dont know
but I'll tell what happened.
I installed the Miui rom v4 by magmini, a couple days later I was watching a video and turned the phone upside down.
and the button is working again, I'm still trying to understand what happened.
Thanks everyone for trying to help. :victory:
Well good for you to figure it out.
