[Q] is there a way back?

Good Day All :
I started up with Odin so i could update the Tab, but the program closed down about 1-2 sec. after. When I tried to turn on the tablet, there was ... no reaction (!)
Tried to go in "download mode", but no reaction or by factory-reset. just black screen ...
i also tried "Recovery Code" (Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release) but its same no reaction.
Can it really be true that I have ended up with a piece of useless plastic?
Pls your help is vevry important
thanks

Do not panic.
Better connect to wall charger for an hour first; then try recovery mode (volume up + power).
Regards
Kongar

thanks for the reply.
it was in the wall charger for an 7 hour . i just try ... nothing happend ...

It sounds like you have stopped it in the middle of loading the bootloaders... That almost the only way to hard brick your tab...
If you can't get it recognised by ODIN then the only thing available is to JTag it. You need to send it in to someone who can do this - look around the general forum, there was someone there doing it - most phone repair places will say it needs motherboard replaced, expensive.
If its still in warranty, you might be able to send back to samsung, tell them it happened while flashing through Kies.... Don't tell them you flashed with ODIN.
Seems like a few people are doing this...
Good Luck...

ok, now after i update the PIT the GT is boteabel but its hange in the startup page GALAXY Tap.
Note : Every time i but the GT in the Dawnloading Mode and try to flash a rom i get faild in kernel stage.
any help Pls ...

Unbrick Note from wrong ROM

I accidentally flashed wrong ROM (SII CheckROM) on my Note and now it has stopped booting. IT is stuck on the Galaxy Note N7000 screen and screen starts misbehaving.
I cannot goto CWM recovery all I can still make it to is Stock recovery. How can I Unbrick this state?

Are you able to get into download mode? (Power off, then power on holding VolumeDown + Menu + Power all together until the screen comes on?)
Then you'll be able to flash a rom via Odin...

if you can get into download mode, which is what i assume you mean by stoke recovery you can flash the rom using odin on the pc

I have the same problem, I accidentally flashed a galaxy s2 kernel, and my screen misbehaves after logo. Now, I can't get into download mode since it says low battery. I've been trying to charge it with wall charger, even though back cover gets warmer, it still says low battery. I've purchased an Anker universal charger, left the battery overnight, nope still no luck, should I buy a new battery ?

Bricked Galaxy Note N7000 or Incorrect ROM Flash Easy Fix
Ok simple you won't see nothing on the screen because the bootloader is wrong.....
Just put the battery in then do following.
1. hold vol down+home+power for 15 seconds...
2. release then press volume up...
Note: Don't worry about seeing anything on the screen or any keys light
it will be blank this is because bootloader is incorrect
3. open odin you should see comxx in listed flash the original bootloader back
into phone this will/should resume visual display.
I have attached necessary files to resume
Load File in PDA NOT BOOTLOODER

4. Wait 10 seconds.. Remove Battery Then Boot Back into Bootloader following steps 1&2
5. finally flash Stock Rom to resume the whole phone to original state.
Hope That Helps......

I can get into download mode now, however I don't know which Stock Rom I should download since I forgot which was it. Is there any way I learn it without trying and failing among many available

odd note
hello all,
my case was a bit different, after the ics leak, i rooted and flashed rocketrom without problems, then i flashed kriskelo also without problems but wanted to go back to rocketrom, the problem is that the device got stucked in the galaxy note gt 7000 screen with the rooted triangle after i tried to recover rocketrom via cwm, i have back ups from all the roms, lcy, rocket and kriskelo except from the GB but the phone doesnt boot, i tried odin but it get stucked in the "network connecting" and it doesnt go far...im downloading now the stock gb and will try the antiguangenius way, just a small question, do i have to flash only the bootloader (file attached in the post} and then the stock rom or just the stockrom directly in the pda? what is the nt7000 bootloader file?
extra info, my phone enters in cwm recovery without problems, and if i connect the usb on it with the galaxy note gt7000 screen, i get the yellow flag ( i assume is the download mode, isnt it?) so its not completely bricked, i see all the menu from cwm and can also recover, but it wont boot anybody could help? im afraid how much it would be bringing it to the SSC...
thanks in advance
Dtorga

Sorry with all due respect, how can one accidentally flash a SII rom onto a N7000 or a N7000 rom onto a I717? Do you people think we all are stupid because we don't flash roms that were built for other devices onto our Notes? Why don't people think before they flash? I mean it's known that men cannot think clearly when they see a naked women with big b.... but I did not know that this effect also takes place when they see a phone and a rom

Help with my possible SOFT BRICK note

Hi
I bought me a 2nd hand galaxy note yesterday but was on 2.3.6 Ginger minger so this morning proceeded to update to ICS via KIES
stuck on 3% for 10 mins then on 4% reported an error, ever since I have been unable to follow any recovery options
Problem I have now is running Odin 1.85 with "N7000XXLRG_N7000DBTLRG_N7000XXLRB_HOME.tar.md5"
I am only able to boot into download mode not recovery but when I connect the USB cable, big fat nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone help me please
PS: I know how tetchy mods can be when you post in wrong section so apologies in advance
Cheers
EFC

if you connect the phone on download mode to your PC, does odin detect your note??
you can flash ICS even if the screen shows nothing as long as it gets detected by odin

Nope, and nor do I get the windows noise when you have plugged in a USB device like a mouse or something!!
I have re-installed the Samsung USB drivers twice both times it said they were already installed but I done it anyway
Does this sound fixable? Would a phone shop only try same recovery options that I am trying?

ok, let me get this straight..
you have download mode, no recovery right?
if you boot into download mode, then connect the phone, it doesn't get detected (blank screen) ?? have you tried charging the device then trying to connect again? or simply remove the battery then re-insert?

Does not go blank says "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"
Battery was full before I started this so I doubt its in need of a charge
Odin does not report any connecting in the Message box, tried on a different PC even installing "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" but still nothing
So I can asume that the issue with not connecting to Odin is with the phone
Question is.....what is my next move?
Thanks for your help much appreciated

I have given up, been trying since 10 this morning
Samsung has gone right down in my estimation due to this, all I done was install KIES and was when phone connected it prompted me to install an updated firmware, then got error at 4%
Never had this with HTC so if I cant get a warranty replacement am screwed!!!

Was Your phone locked or something before this happened ?
Maybe you could try a new Rom File...

I have tried 3 different firmwares 2 of them FAIL in Odin while 1 gets stuck on "setup connection"
It is in Warranty so are Vodafone going to want to attempt a repair or will it be a straight swap?

I think it will be a repair as its not a hardware fault I think.
Use ODIN 1.85. Maybe a last try before returning it to Service Centre ?
And don't change any option in ODIN. I think you have changed it.. Maybe I am wrong lol... Just wondering...

try to flash any custom kernel only with odin, not firmware, and if the kernel flashed, try to go to recovery and then full wipe and flash any rom.

But a few days later,I realize that European version ROM could flash Asia version offical ROM.So I flash Samsung-GT-I9070-XTE-I9070DXAMD1-1365494217(Because it has Chinese language).
when it want to flash CHN-I9070ZCLPC-20130812164209 into my device.Here problems come.

than i flash CHN-I9070ZCLPC-20130812164209(PDA) with 16G pit . this time i Successed.but when i odin say RESET.it was in RESET a long time. so i close odin.pull out the USB.
NOW i can`t light my phone with many ways.Such as HOME+VOL.DOWN+POWER and 301K.i also can`t get into recovery mode. when i Plug it in the power . it has no reaction. what should i do to save my Galaxy S Advance ?

1. Where are you from?
2. What 4.1.2 version did you download? Please post a link here!
3. Try: Press Volume down, Home button, Power button ... Any reaction? Did you get into Download mode?
If you didn't get into Download mode then you have a problem, your device is Hard-Bricked ... That means the only thing which can safe it is to give it to the shop where you bought it, hopefully you have still warranty ... Simply tell them your device didn't start anymore and perhaps you get a new one ... - I read already it is 2 years old ... so that is a big problem ...
If you didn't buy your phone in China or in completely Asia it was a big mistake to flash a Chinese version!!!

If your phone doesnt show any reaction, try to put out your battery for 20 minutes, put it in your phone back, connect it to the charger, wait 1 hour and try to get into Download Mode again ... I think the worst case happened for you, a Hard Brick. This happened because of disconnecting your phone during installing Stock rom with Odin ... Keep me up to date

Go to the shop where you buyed it and tell them you were just listening music or something on your phone and suddenly he shut down and you could never turn him back on.

working on it...
Hi,
I'm working on an unbrick procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701363) without JTAG or any box.
Results look promising but I have very few time to work on it.
But I think I'm close to it...
I have gained a good understanding of the boot and flashing procedure using the flashkit tool (on which the Snowball open source riff tool is based on).
We have all the pieces (including certificates). We "just" have to assemble the correct bootloader including the recovery software and boot it from USB using flashkit.
-> If someone with good linux/Android compiling knownledge helps me it might be fast.
If not, just wait that I manage to do it... or give up and go to a shop with a Riffbox, Z3x, Octopus or whatever it is called to recover the phone" the hard way"

There is a chance to unbrick your phone with a tool called USB JIG:

It may help, but perhaps not ... if you bought it you can safe your hard bricked phone in this way:

1. Put out the battery
2. Wait for 2 minutes
3. Plug in the USB JIG
4. Now put the battery back into your phone
Now your phone should boot into the Download Mode, like mentioned above, it should ...
If it worked for you it solves other things too: It makes the yellow triangle to disappear and it sets the Binary counter back to zero ...
I never tested it until now because I didn't break my phone so far, but this will be the one of the last opportunities to revive your phone ... But I can't guarantee anything ...

I9305 Spontaneous Death - Recovery/Rescue Options?

Background, Symptoms and Repair Attempts
My significant other's I9305 spontaneously died. The phone is fully stock, non-rooted. Was never custom-flashed.
It was working with no apparent problems, then one night we left it (turned on) to recharge overnight, as we usually do, and found it boot-looping in the morning.
"Boot-looping": repeatedly showing "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen for about 4 seconds, then restarts (screen goes black for about 3 seconds, then "Samsung Galaxy S3" screen shows again, infinitely repeating).
The boot-loop prevents access to recovery mode or to the main OS.
"Charge mode" is working - when phone is turned off, it shows charge animation when connected to power source (with battery level rising as charging progresses).
Download mode itself is accessible, and phone remains in it until I force it to end. Text shown on top of download mode screen:
Code:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9305
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
However, actual flashing is apparently impossible. I tried several times using Odin v3.09 to flash 2 different stock images:
I9305XXBME3_I9305DBTBMF1_I9305XXBME1 (Stock 4.1.2)
I9305XXUFNL1_I9305DBTFNL1_I9305XXUFOA1 (Stock 4.4.4)
In all my flashing attempts I had only "AP", "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" checkboxes checked, and the rest unchecked.
All attempts failed (with a red "FAIL!" on the top-left of the window) within 2-3 seconds after clicking the "Start" button. Odin's message log for such an attempt is as follows:
Code:
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> I9305XXBME3_I9305DBTBMF1_I9305XXBME1_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

I also tried using Odin to flash 2 different custom recovery images:
openrecovery-twrp-3.0.2-1-i9305-F2FS
CWM_touch_6.0.4.7_i9305
Attempts to flash these failed in the exact same way as the stock images did (as described above).
Despite all my (failed) flashing attempts, all symptoms remained unchanged (boot loops, no recovery, only download mode and charge mode working).
Questions
I'd really appreciate any tips, advice, or answers to the following questions:
Are these symptoms indicating a problem with the eMMC chip?
Is there any possible repair other than replacing the eMMC chip? Is there any chance for repair using a dedicated JTAG/eMMC tool?
Am I supposed to be able to salvage at least part of the data on the eMMC chip using an SD reader and an SD adapter soldered to the motherboard (e.g. in a manner similar to the process described here)?
Am I supposed to be able to salvage at least part of the data on the eMMC chip using a dedicated JTAG/eMMC tool? Would I be able to extract more data with such a tool than I would be able to extract using the soldered SD adapter and reader?
Many thanks in advance for your time and help efforts!

EMMC Brickbug claims another i930x device. Unfortunately, all the partitions after a certain area are useless because some defects in a batch of EMMCs. i9300 has had it for some time, but i didn't know that i9305 could have a part of the faulty lot that kneeled the i9300. You may be lucky enough, depending in what country you live, to find and go to a very good smartphone repair shop and get the EMMC replaced by some people that actually know what they are doing. Or, if you have money, skills and time to spare, replace it yourself, but you'd need to take some precautions to not f it up. (i.e. place some thick metal piece over the modem to not heat it up, and to not apply too much temperature to the board to damage it.)
