Dead Boot - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Cheers,
Yesterday while I was using my phone (just the usual email/facebook), my phone began getting slow and sometimes unresponsive. So what I did
is that I turned it off, and back on again, however, when it booted it just stuck on boot animation, after this I turned it off again and this time
removing the battery, then placed the battery back again and tried to turn it on, however, from this point onward it wont turn on anymore.
The screen just remains black and nothing is happening. So i brought it to my nearest Samsung shop and they told me that its in Dead Boot,
and that according to them they will have to do it via JTag (no idea what this is) and that it would cost me (roughly 60$), and that
they are still not sure whether it'll be fixed.
Is there really no other way for me to fix it, without being to costly in my part?
Randy.

Yes, thats the first thing the tech did

JTag ? oh..sorry but i think there is no way you cant fix it yourself..
but you can take it to private individuals who have JTag box and can get it done cheaper
Hit thanks if you may please..! =) ×D

Galaxy Note-Can't see screen but touching works. Help

Hi guys, My galaxy note isn't working properly.
I can't see anything on the screen. (Black screen) but touch works.
I can still see the lights on menu and back button. Phone itself works fine. I called the phone and slide pick up even though I can't see the screen, I can talk.
So basically screen has stop show images.
Any idea what it is?
What did you do?
Honestly I didn't do anything. I left my phone in my bag then couple of hours later it stopped working. Works fine in the morning.
Can you elaborate your Note's configuration? Which ROM, kernel, etc?

Phone is rooted, Running rocket ROM. Been running rocket ROM for almost 1 month. I didn't do anything before this happen.
and fyi, when I boot up the phone, still can't see anything, even with recovery mode.
Probably an SOD. Have you tried rebooting? Which kernel do you use?

I've tried rebooting, taking out battery and restart, tried going to recovery mode, anything I could think of.
I'm not sure about kernel. I can't check. But it's the kernel the comes with Rocket ROM.

Sorry mate, seems that your hardware is faulty and you need to send it back for repair.

When I rebooted my phone, I can still hear my unopened text messages notification sound. Buttons and touch are responsive.
and phone is rooted, doesn't that void the warranty?
this has happened to me a couple of times..
it happens randomly after trying to come out of sleep...the phone works fine after a reboot..
i wonder what this problem is??
thankfully it only happens once in a blue moon...
I'm on stock rom unrooted...

Do you have custom binary counter increment and/or yellow triangle?
Well if you can't see anything on the screen, they won't either, provided it is a hardware malfunction.
I bought this phone on eBay, and it's overseas seller. Do I contact Samsung or the seller?
You should contact the party responsible for the warranty of your product.
Well, if they find out that you are on custom ROM they could deny warranty.
Since it looks like your screen went off, PC odin should still work, unconditionally.
So just boot up the phone in download mode (vol down+ menu+ power), connect to PC odin and flash stock firmware relevant to your country and you are good to go.

Hey this does not mean that your screen works, sorry for my misleading reply.
That is just to be sure that you get the warranty.
still doesn't work. Gonna have to send it for warranty i guess...
and could this be like a loose plug/connector inside a phone?

My Galaxy Note Is DEAD!!

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.

WOW...
the problem is that i live in a fu**ed up country and we dont have samsung here.
all phones come without warranty and by smuggling from other countries
You mentioned killing yourself. Bro it's just a phone... Hang in there!!!

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

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?

I am wondering the same thing, mine got bricked about a week ago and I don't really know what to do with it

[Q] Brick question

So I think I bricked my Note by misunderstanding the lpy bug (tried to flash directly to cm9, didn't realise that was the wrong way). I don't seem to even be able to get into the bootloader though, is that a normal symptom of this emmc bug brick? Just want to make sure it really is bricked before trying to return it to Samsung. Basically holding vol down+home+power does nothing. Plugging it in to charge doesn't show the charging icon etc. Looks pretty bricked to me but perhaps I'm missing something?
Can you get into recoverymode vol-up+home+power?
nope

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't seem to detect anything unfortunately. I think it might not apply to the Galaxy Note anyway.
Welcome to superbrick club.
Your best bet is to take the Note to SSC.
Act dumb, don't tell em' about rooting, flashing and roming.
What's SSC? Samsung something something I presume but..?
Ah Service Centre
Yeah and forgot to tell, flash stock kernel before you take your phone to SSC.
You don't wanna get caught with Clockwork Recovery, do you ?

Sorry, if it is stone cold dead it is not necessary and you are not able to enter download mode either.
Heh, yeah it's dead as a dodo!
Anyone know if it might be worth trying a USB jig?
If you have access to a JIG. Its allways worth a try, it wont hurt your phone more. But I dont think it will help.
Thanks. I've ordered one as they're cheap and I guess it's worth a try.
So your screen is just all black. Nothing lights up?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Yeah absolutely no response from holding any button combination. Tried charging and also battery pulling between trying button combinations too.
Same here. JIG didn't make any difference
:/
Figure I'll get the same but as the bug can affect different bits of memory I suppose there's a small chance.
Have you RTM'd it to Samsung?

Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin
Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

Samsung Galaxy S3 mini is completely dead

Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.
In the S III Mini General forum there are topics about getting your phone back to stock so that it is covered by warranty.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

I tried those solutions and they didn't work.
Kid, can you read?
What did you try? What was the result?
"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

I read all instructions, and when I flashed it via Odin, nothing actually changed even with the params!
