Hi all. My TAB is dead already. it's dead just normally not because of flashing or rooting process etc. The battery drain to below 10% before i go to sleep and left it without charging it. I don't think its the cause it's dead.
Btw, when i wake up tomorrow morning, i found it dead then, i connect it with the charger but nothing happen. no lights, no display, nothing show up.
After trying all the combination of keys that i found on google to wake it up, it still not helping.
For info, my Tab is already being rooted and flashed with Overcome 2.0.1 ROM from the first day i bought it a months ago. Its act like a normal before its really dead.
So, I send it to the Samsung Center (Malaysia). After a week, i got a call from them and they said my Tab Motherboard is fault/burn because of 3rd party software that i install on it. I think they mean the rooting & unlocking the Tab. So that, my warranty is VOID! and i need to pay around RM700 (USD 230.49) to change the motherboard if i want.
what you think guys? Does rooting/flashing a Rom will effect the hardware or its just their excuse?
..// sorry for my bad english btw.
i think by this money you better buy new tab .. how come you unlock your tab ? i thought all the tabs in malaysia are Unlocked .
did you try to keep it in charge for at least 4 hours and\or , in USB plug it to your computer and keep it plugging and see , ( this method may and may not work ) ..
but serious 700rm they are taik

You had overcome on it. Overcome allows for overclocking. Overclocking (even if you didn't do it) equals a voided warranty. it's made clear in every post that flashing the device voids a warranty. If you choose to fight, you won't win. This is why there are posts to restock the tab for sending back...

Yes Overclocking can destroy electronic components because of overheating. That is the main reason for me to remove overcome as my tab was abnormally warm compared to stock gb when I had gold flashed to it. I did not even touch any of the oc setting.....and may I add that I am in the Middle East where heat is an issue...

kinda similar with mine....now my gtab still on samsung centre. this morning tried to check it out and it was told that i will receive new korean battery & new machined
the customer service told that before i upgrade to gingerbread (also in samsung centre) my gtab is being rooted??
the question (in my case), is it possible to detect that my gtab was rooted since they (samsung centre) already upgrade it?
well alisabki, its kinda hard in your position....have you tried to look after the mother board on ebay/amazon perhaps? to get the alternatives price?
last night i just read (forgot the sources) that cost to build gtab is only $241 (part+labor)
come to think of it, i guess frequent flashing and trying new kernels may cause wear and tear to the tab. refers to my response here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14765324#post14765324
The service centre person told me they replaced the motherboard and the battery. I am staying stock for now.
Well folks,
Just pick up my gtab and it os i got new korean battery and new machine dunno what they mean with machine here i guess same with u, motherboard with free warranty power.
They said,"my gyab was being rooted" but they already upgrading to gingerbread so they helped me with free warranty.
Imho, my case happened because i had install couple application that required root such as adfree,quikreboot,etc and perhaps the officially gingerbread doesn't comfortable enough which is i haven't rooted
Fel good to be back with this magnificent 7
genuine asia gingerbread
I'm having a hard time believing that it's actually toast. If you'd like me to take a look at it, just PM me as I'm very familiar with fixing bricked TAB's in any condition.
I hard believe that they can recognize that you rooted your phone or whatever since they said to you that your motherboard is gone.........so, unfortunately it is also happened to me today, it's not the first one that i flash my tab but today i've hard bricked it, sent back to Vodafone, told me to wait 1 month (#[][]###[##!!)
Dammit, never brick a phone, well used to HTC never bought a Samsung and in all honesty i was thinking to change my beloved HD2 for a Galaxy S 2 but i've found very risky to flash those Samsung phones so changed idea and waiting for new HTC devices with bootloader not locked.
Will let you know for news from Vodafone but if they will say me that brick was because i've rooted it then i want proves of that, if they can see that then they can resurrect the phone without change motherboard...am i right?
Well, i love Overcome Rom. Its getting better and better. Yap. Like Pitbull, im also the battery-wh*re.. i dont care so much about its performance. Im not doing heavy stuff/work on it. i got my nexus one btw to trying or playing overclocking etc... im just using my tab to surfing, file transfering/dropbox, movies, and even games sometime which i think it's 1ghz power is still doing its job.
What is my really problem is they (samsung center) say my warranty is void because of 3rd party software that i install on it. i think its just their excuse. the overcome rom that i use is already a month old. nothing wrong with the 3rd party software that i've install.
Declan79, its possible to detect if we root it or not. in my case, they just change the motherboard and they will turn it on just like normal. for example, my pc dead because of the motherboard. i change it to the same model and walla.. its fixed! its the same concept..
the cost to change the motherboard is cost me around USD263.27 which is more expensive + no warranty. so what? everything is expensive in my country.
you're so lucky Declan. even you void the warranty by rooting it, u still got it repaired for free..

Hi all. First of all, I come here because I hard bricked my tablet (I did some research on some brick terminology.) I have some questions at the end of this thread, to satisfy my curiosity.
I misunderstood instructions and bricked my tablet. I barely had it two months. The instructions I spoke of where to install CM7 beta on my tablet (instructions here).
I downloaded and installed the files, then used heidmall to flash it. After the flash, heidmall said it was sucsessful. The problem was that it was hard bricked. No response to any button I pressed. I went on the Cyanogenmod forums and asked some questions. One of the users asked what the carrier was.. Verizon Wireless, I answered him. He said it wont boot up because I flashed a rom with a different radio or something (I dont remember all the details).
One of my questions is that, yes I did root my devices prior bricking it (voiding it.) If I send it to Samsung to get it repaired, will they be able to tell that I did root it? I did not install any roms on it (yet) or tried to overclock it; only thing I really did to use the root access was to use the wireless tether (just once). I know over clocking can make the device over heat and that leaves evidence on the motherboard, from what I read, thirdparty software. I have seen some videos about fixing bricked tablets using a program called JTAG to fix the boot-loaders. If Samsung are able to fix it, will they be able to see that it is rooted or was?
My primary question is that, can Samsung fix my device when I send it in, regarding the radio. Or will they fix it because it is rooted, or if they can't tell if it is.
I ask the evidence of the rooted device because last year, my Motorola Droid got overheated and I had to send it in to get it replaced. That device was rooted and had CM6 installed on it. I sbf'd it back to original stock and Verizon didn't contact me, so I am assuming they can't tell that it was rooted.
Another question. If Samsung does decide to repair my tablet, how much would that cost? And if they do find out it is rooted and they ask me if I wanted it fixed, how much would that cost? Estimated prices would be appreciated as well.
Another question. I have been browsing around and I found some supposedly reliable people who can fix my tablet. MobileTechVideos to be specific. I am not questioning their authenticity anything. I am wandering if I should send my tablet to them to fix it instead of Samsung. Because I am wondering if Samsung would charge me up the whoohoo to get it repaired.
I know my questions are many and seemed jumbled together. But I am curious.
answers
1- as i'm sure you were on froyo - did you patch the bootloader patch ? if not , then this is what caused the hard bricked
2- samsung will not know if you were rooted your tab , actually they will know because most of people go there with this specific issue because they flashed roms\kernels Unofficial
3- if you still under warranty they will fix it for you (for free) without any cost , all you need is a drama ( i updated via kies and then my tab off and never wont boot again ) it works 100%
4- as i heard MobileTechVideo are trusted people and they fixed alot of tabs
if you still under warranty send it to Samsung with the drama i just mentioned above and they will fix it in( a month or 3 weeks) for free
please from now on , do read guides carefully we all humans and we may miss something or do some mistakes , batter to be careful more than to be sorry
good luck

Yeah, I heard Mobile Tech do great job with only $50 dolar payment. You should let them fixed it for you..or
I'm not 100% sure, but there is 10 or 20% sammy can detect it is rooted. BUT if you already decide to send to sammy, better you make sure your tab is totally hard brick so that sammy could't detect it rooted at all. Ex:- put your tab inside microwave. I heard some person on HD2 forum do this and they manage to get brand new replacement of HD2. ;P..Just my suggestion.
haha..BUT read on this xda forum first. Do search until you are satistify your tab is screw up and totally hard brick and could not solve by you before you take my consideration..
You voided your warranty if you rooted it. Samsung will charge you to repair it because they will know. They will charge more than mobile tech, I promise. 130 from samsung is about right, 50 from tech.
You flashed a GSM rom into a CDMA device, so if you do get it repaired I recommend a lot of reading before you try again.

To reply to all above questions.
1. My tablet is completely hard bricked. No response to any hard reset or download mode. The screen bares no response to anything. I can feel some heat from the battery inside, just saying.
2. Microwaving my tablet seems a bit crazy. I might blow up my microwave and I have a feeling that would damage it to where Samsung will not replace it.
3. "You flashed a GSM rom into a CDMA device, so if you do get it repaired I recommend a lot of reading before you try again." Yes I know. I always thought that I could flash it back to fix it. But I can't even get to download mode.
It seems that I got some response that 'No Samsung will not find out its rooted', or 'Yes, they will find out I rooted it and will charge me." I will send it in to Samsung to get it repaired and tell the outcome here.
Hi ripjaw27!
any update on what Samsung said ?
I need to call them tomorrow!
Ofiaich
The Mobile Tech Video guys are very good. They resurrected by captivate when flashed the wrong bootloaders on it. Very fast turn around time and no BS whatsoever. I highly recommend them if you need JTAG services for any device. In the extremely rare event that he cant fix it he'll send the device back no charge - all you're out is shipping.
CDMA and GSM roms can't be used on the opposing devices... The wifi only version, gt - p1010, also shouldn't be flashed. You WILL end up with a brick, guaranteed... Fair enough you want to try these thingsa BUT theres a reason each rom is identified as GSM or CDMA....
They received my tablet, its been a week. But I haven't received any news from them. The ticket page they sent me still doesn't have a estimated repair date. So no updates as of yet.
I'd take down the repair invoice for a device you've admitted to bricking, friend. Just sayin...
Okay got an update from Samsung.

Just remembered what happened in a movie I saw.
Just for the records: Got my Hardbricked GTab repaired via T-Mo UK under warranty. Apparently they cannot check whether this has been flashed or not...
I think I might have to send my tablet back again. This time my 3G is not working after a few flashes and flashed a zimage to the modem and I bricked the modem now.... I have to find a stock firmware before I send it back. I am sad.
Ripjaw check your settings in > settings > wireless network > mobile network > names and connections and add your carrier UMTS - 3G \APN settings.
I did had the same when i flashed my GT-P1000, it is empty no default carrier settings build in..
OK mate, the 1st they'll repair under good graces but if you go back with the same or a similar problem, chances are they're going to look closer for the problem this time...
Hi all,
I've got the oppportunity to buy a 'bricked' sgs really cheap.
The device has been bricked by choosing a PDA file in the bootloader option in ODIN. As a result of this really foolish move, the phone won't boot, enter recovery or download mode.
Can this be solved with a JIG, or does this mean the device is irreversely bricked?
Some advice would be really appreciated, as I would´t pay anything for a shiny brick
PS: It is a regular I9000, international
IDK, it wouldnt hurt to try i guess,
depends on the price of the bricked SGS.
SGS is a tough piece of machinery, and if it is hardbricked and the jig doesn't work,
you could allways try the unbrickable mod.
i dont think i would have buyed an unusable brick doh, rather put in a few bucks and buy a working one.
Could the wrong flashing as I mentioned it above cause such a 'hard-brick'?
im affraid so, but im not too familiar with bootloaders,
is there any signs of life when you hit the power button like the cellphone, caution triangle and computer icon?
Nope, it's completely lifeless..
I guess it is too much of a risk, I won't buy the thing
Hey everyone
I'm a bit lost as to how to get started with fixing my hard bricked phone. It occured when flashing a leaked JB rom and now won't turn on, not even in Download mode.
I'm in Australia but bought my phone in Malaysia so the local Samsung shop is refusing to repair it without replacing the main PCB. They advised that a repair would be possible without the hardware replacement, but it would be illegal for them to perform because of issues relating to the IMEI (WTF?).
I haven't been able to get any response out of the phone. The battery was very low when I flashed (terrible move, I know), is it possible that the battery now isn't charging and this is why I'm not able to go into Download mode? I have a few mates with the same phone so I could potentially try a charged battery in it...
All up - I'm guessing that I have to manually write to the EMMC.... Is this just a matter of obtaining a JIG cable and using Odin? I'd like to avoid opening the phone up, but I can do if it's my only option.
Cheers in advance

Sorry to learn about your mishap. I suggest you should not waste money on RIFFBOX as there is little chance you will be able to revive your device in the condition it is, and if you are not into electronics, and don't have hands on experience of soldering (i mean really thin wires), this will be useless for you. I am telling this from my experience as I have same bricked note with me. Had it jtagged, but could not get it revived because the bootloader in eMMC is damaged, so the only option is to replace eMMC, which is physically impossible without sophisticated high tech machinery, or to replace the motherboard carrying eMMC chip. That is not available anywhere (not even on eBay last I checked), except Samsung Service Center, and at least in my country, they are charging like USD400 for the motherboard. I read in another thread here (cannot find it now) that it cost another guy about US$200 for the same thing else where (I think it was in India).
How much are they charging for motherboard replacement? I think you should go for this option as even if somehow you get your note revived without mb replacement, it is highly likely you'll still end up with partially damaged eMMC chip.
how did you know that it s the emmc brick?, i have my phone hardbricked before when i tried to use swap partition, and i get no responce from the phone also, i though it was the emmc brick bug, but i get it worked only with jtag, and costed me around 20$ only, and it wasn't the emmc brick, it was hardbrick but without emmc chip corruption.
the only way the emmc brick ocures is by:
wiping or formatting while on unsafe kernel
any thing else isn't emmc brick, and i think this your condition, you have to try jtag dear.
Thanks for the responses guys It's much appreciated.
I've ordered myself a little USB JIG, will see how that goes and proceed from there!

Anyway, I recently rooted my Galaxy Ace and immediately proceeded to convert it into a moderately expensive paperweight (hard bricked). I already know nothing is going to work, and my only option is turning it in to Samsung for repairs and service.
I would like to know, if the phone (being hard bricked) still contains any evidence to it being rooted that my void my warranty or is the storage completely wiped? If not, what is the best lie to cover up this accident? If so, is it best to tell the truth.
Also, apparently I can fix it with a jtag kit (whatever that is). Is this complicated and how do I get a hold of such a kit
I thank you in advance.

If you search here or on Google you can find info about jtag. I do remember seeing a few threads in the Q&A section of the Ace forums about bricked phones, you may find something there. If you do take it in for repair, play stupid about rooting and custom roms etc. You know nothing about what they are, if you catch my drift.
