Hey,
I recently bricked my Galaxy 8.9 GT-P7320T, I have taken it to A tech and they said jtag did not work and there's nothing they can do about it, So I am thinking the custom ROM has destroyed the partition tables.
I am wondering where can I get A motherboard replacement? being A Telstra Tablet I'm not sure where can I get one from but i'm still paying it off so I want a fix either way.
And can i use the P7320 motherboard as an replacement?
Thanks,
Spudster
This has been up for months?? Please someone answer??
thanks

I saw a SGT that is hanging at the bootlogo on ebay.
it's ending tomorrow, so any answers till then would be appreciated.
I hope I understood it correctly from what the seller wrote.
Is this easy to fix and how?
Im hoping to save some €uros, would it be a good idea if I can get it cheaper?
edit:
one more question. is there a clockworkmod bootable sdcard for the tab or what do I have to do to flash a new rom?
Mate, there are a lot of reasons the tab isn't booting. You may not be able to recover this.
I personally wouldn't buy a tab thats not booting, there could be a hardware problem and then those euros you spent have just been thrown away as you can't return the tab. You were fully aware there was a problem before you bought it....
Good idea is to visit other countries ebay, you may get a tab for cheap though do make sure it is compatible with your networks and the seller is happy to sell overseas...
seller writes it was like that when he got it?
is this possible at all?
or must he have done something to it, like flashing a rom and doing something wrong so that he cant recover it.

Well, if you buy it from him like that you would then be able to claim it was like that when you got it. It could be anything, as stated before, and I wouldn't touch it unless it was super cheap and I could use it for parts. Mine was brand new and after having it for almost a month it had to go in for repair (covered under warranty, but still a pain). Since you will likely not be covered under warranty, I just wouldn't bother.
he is sending the original slip with the device.
someone bought it for 301€, quite a lot.
Anyone that says you can't brick a Galaxy Tablet short of dropping the thing...
...is mistaken.
related- anyone know where I can get a 7" cdma galaxytab mobo cheap? don't care if ESN is clean, just using with wifi.
thanks.
probably cheaper/easier to send it to someone with jtag stuff to unbrick it.. unless you actually fried the mobo, shouldn't be that hard to unbrick with the right tools..

it doesn't even turn on anymore. gonna try to find one that someone cracked the screen on and see if I can get a mobo out of it.
I hadn't heard the term jtagged, in association with a CDMA tablet. Did I miss something?
So I am one of the people that hard bricked their Note by stupidly flashing a CM9 kernel while on ICS repack leaked kernels. Here is my problem:
my Note's EMMC chip is completely broken (sent it to mobiletechvideos to be fixed) and I contacted Samsung but apparently because I live in Canada and my Note is a European model there's NOTHING they can do to help me replace the motherboard. So I then called Samsung UK....and they stated they couldn't help me either because even though my Note is European model I live in Canada, they do not service phones outside Europe. › frustrated I began to look up on Google for places that sells the Notes motherboard with NO luck.
so if anyone who has a solution to this could please help me, I'd greatly appreciate it!

you wont find a mobo online i tried b4 , you could try getting in touch with companys in uk or usa who advertise to fix gt-n7000 and arrange to pay the postage fees there and back tho will be costly , would probably be cheaper to buy one on ebay and get it shipped and either keep your old one for spares or sell it for spares

I would just hang on to it. You at least have a replacement screen if you ever break the one on the new Note. Those alone are $180+ online
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.

Wait for note 2 xP... Not worth paying 400 dollars for a mobo its better to get a new device but why to get a new note 1 with note 2 around the corner?

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.
Search on YouTube : Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)
I have got a Riff Jtag Box from ebay, I have recently bricked my Samsung galaxy tablet 8.9 by installing a bad rom, although I found a youtube video about jtag and how to jtag. I received the jtag box and now I need the correct connections to solder the wires on to my tablets mother board. All I need to know is where can I find the correct connection for the jtag box to connect to the mother board , Thank you
My Device Is A: Samsung galaxy tab 8.9
Bricked
Idk, but it probably makes a difference if your tab is a p73xx or an i957.

Check out mobiletechvideos.com They can jtag it for you cheaper than samsung.
Ok
I have heard of them, Only problem is that I am in Australia. I think there service is located in America.
Not many people offer jtag repair services here I dont think unless you take it to samsung.
Another problem is its on contract with A carrier.
Alirght Found A tech that might help paying $50 to reinstall the internal firmware see how it goes to tommrow will reply here then.
I donr know what anyone is on about but I took my device into the technicians and they could not retrieve the tablet no matter what. Even with jtag. This just goes to show JTag does NOT save all devices that get bricked during firmware installations.
Anyway I have bought A new tablet Samsung Galaxy 7.0 This time I am never rooting again.
I got a smaller screen since I now I have A computer and it would still do the same job.
Thanks anyway
