What rom and kernel are you on and how old is your battery? Take out the battery and spin it on a flat surface, does it look bulging?

GT-N7000 bricked?
Good day
I am new in this forum, but please help. the following summarizes my problem:
1: I upgraded it to 4.1.2 using N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_TTT about 2 months ago using Odin. It worked well
2. latter I tried to root with PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar.md5 using Odin. It was not successful, instead, it brought a yellow triangle with with an exclamation mark inside while booting up, but, it still worked well.
3. Yesterday, i tried to root it again with http://205.196.123.93/16u53bf954yg/6bxp34p353tf8ob/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63-signed.zip. It rooted quit alright but with the yellow triangle still there.
4. I then tried to remove the yellow bang with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
5. my phone went off totally. i tried the Jig, no effect. Plugged it to the computer and still no sign of life. How can i solve this?
I will appreciate any help rendered.

Its not good practice to hijack a thread in the middle of someone seeking help... If you really need to, start your own. I realise this is your first post, just letting you know how it works.
Philz kernels are meant to be flashed from recovery, not odin which is why you got the yellow triangle. I have no idea what method you took to remove yellow triangle, but easiest way is to use triangleaway from the play store.
You rooted correctly the first time and it was successful, you then tried to flash an incompatible Philz kernel which is why it won't boot. Flash a full rom using pc odin and start again, and read the instructions fully next time.

If you can't enter download mode with jig it's fully bricked and needs a motherboard replacement under warranty.

OK. but can i still claim warranty with the conditions explained? If no, i no, where can i buy and waht is the cost estimate? Any Idea?

No, warrantees don't cover intentional damage. You can recover a bricked phone for $50 US with the JTAG process. See www.mobiletechvideos.com.

What do you mean by international damage? more so, $50 is not a problem, shipping from and to Africa is more e xpensive and quite unsafe

[Q] [desperite]How long could odin repartition take?

Hey guys,
how long could a repartition with odin take? Its taking 10mins on "SET PARITION" for now. I wiped system before through CWM and flashed a CWM rom afterwards which didnt work and then started to reflash JVH through odin with repartiton checked and pit 512.
Could i unplug the phone if its stuck at set partition? Well it says "Do not turn off target in Odin" ... but i guess its stuck ... or could repartiton take so long?
Pls help
Cheers

[q] downloading do not turn off target

HELP HELP HELP -- I recently plugged my phone into my com to transfer music. samsung kies then started up and told me i needed a firmware upgrade. I proceeded to upgrade and mid upgrade i received an on screen message that my device wasn't recognised and the upgrade was auto cancelled. I now have a message with bright yellow/green trianle that says "do not turn off target". I have reinstalled kies - no luck. knocked phone on and off -no luck. i'm at a loss with what to do with the phone now !! phone not even being recognised by com or kies. Can anyone help please??? many many thanks in advance... thanks. ian.
Seems that you're new to that, so let me explain: if you see the yellow triangle with the android, you're in download mode. Normally, you access it by pressing power+home+vol down buttons while screen is off. As long as you can access download mode, your device isn't bricked. Now that you can't access anything else than download mode, you have to flash a new firmware with Odin. I recommend you to search for the JW4 firmware here in general section. There you should find help on how to flash it(best is Faryaab's thread).
maybe you can try and do a hard reset and flash a ROM from yr SD card..reboot in recoverymode..if the phone does not reboot..try and run the rooting program,might work.But most likely you'll have to reinstall the firmware...

Yep, I don't think that he has rooted, so flashing a ROM won't work.

I don't really think that he rooted his phone ever before, so I don't think that he needs root now... but if he wants to try it out, CF-root or DoOMlords rooting kit are the right choises.

Urgent help needed. Phone unresponsive.

Okay guys, I DESPERATELY need your help here.
I was flashing a rom through ODIN, when ODIN became unresponsive and closed on me.
Now, the handset is completely unresponsive.
What can I do to fix this?!
Please help, otherwise my Dad is going to kill me.

You can still force the phone into DL mode by using a JIG. Have you tried that?
JIGs can be bought on Amazon or you can just build one yourself.

Did you have the proper drivers installed on your pc for your galaxy s?

You can also build one if you are used to soldering. It's not that hard Anyways seems as if your problem can't be solved within a minute. If you have a local shop that sells electronic stuff, you can go and search for the parts needed to build that JIG It's nearly impossible to COMPLETELY brick your phone, so I guess this method will work!

Jig should work just fine, I know from hard experience! Strange that the three-button method does not get you into dl-mode.How did you originally enter download? Through the three button method or from some reboot option? And which Android version/build were you attempting to replace?

If you manage to really brick the device, I reckon that download mode can also become broken.

The jig should work mate the galaxy s series are virtually impossible to completely "brick". once u get your jig remove your battery for a minute then put it back together and use the jig to get into download mode... since ur phone is completely unresponsive it means there is no firmware or rom on your phone so u will have to start from scratch and install a 3file rom and then a cf+root. Then u will be sweet to start flashing your rom's through recovery mode much easier than dealing with odin. Hope this helps mate

S I9000 won't power up

Hi all,
I have a serious situation with my S I9000, I really need some help.
So I had jelly bean Cyanogenmod 10, It worked fine until one day I updated it, and then I tried to Update some apps using Google Play App but the update didn't finish and cause me lots of unworkable apps.
I rebooted my phone to recovery mode, I made a backup, and then tried to restore an old backup (before I updated Cyanogenmod) but then the phone didn't want to start, It powers up but stays at "Samsung galaxy S....." welcome screen forever.
I was not able to start in recovery mode, how ever the downloading mode worked, then I tried to flash android 2.3.6 with odin but it failed.
And now my phone won't power up and doesn't show anything, even the charging screen.
I know I really messed things up but I really need your assistant guys.
Thank you (and sorry for my weak English)
What did you flash through Odin?

It's probably a hard-brick (I had the same problem last week). There are two ways that can solve it.
First is with a USB Jig. You can buy one (are super cheap) or trying to construct one by yourself. Here are some posts of handmade USB Jigs:

Thank you, but I think that USB Jig doesn't work, cause the phone doesn't show anything at all : no downloading/recover mode and no battery charging screen.
I heard about JTAG.. do you have a tutorial for that ?
Thanks again.
JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it
is it really i9000? or i9003?
as far as i know, flashing i9000 ROM into i9003 will hardbrick ur fone

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.
