[Q] Anyone has exp. with RIFF JTAG to unbrick captivate

Today I bricked my captivate and tried various methods to try to unbrick it.
But looks like it is really bricked and was wondering if RIFF JTAG would help
http://www.jtagbox.com/?s=captivate
They seem to have added support for captivate today itself. So not sure how many folks would have used it to unbrick captivate, but in general has anyone used the RIFF jtag to unbrick any phone?
Or has any one used the JTAG to unbrick captivate?

Interesting find. I have very little experience with JTAG so can't really help but I am curious to know what you find out. Keep us posted.

I too have truely bricked my captivate. Quite upsetting but I have been wondering about these options as well

Me too, Me too, Mines bricked from bad bootloader, I can't get anything to show up, not even the (phone --- ! --- PC) thing.
Found a forum that people have successfully unbricked with the JTAG, but I have yet to get in touch with any of them to see if I can get them to unbrick mine for me.
If anyone is willing to do this, I'd be willing to pay some $ for it, I don't trust my soldering skills, or I'd buy the JTAG and attempt it myself.
Thanks!

I was skeptical at first, but when I saw the device itself and its specifications I can believe it does what it says for sure. Would be interested to know how much it costs though. Has anybody inquired as to its cost yet, by chance?

It costs $150 US including delivery. Tempting...

No JIG no JTAG

You guys don't need JTAG.. If you don't wanna mess around with soldering and Jig, try the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128
Takes a little time but cheap and no soldering or breaking a usb cord required..

Tried that resistor trick, didn't work on my bricked phone, but it did work on my replacement.
I'd love to get my brick working again so my fiancee can have it.

And it does work, there is a JTAG forum that one particular person has unbricked over 20 phones, a few of which were Captivates

Ricky, you think I'd spend $150 if it only fixed Captivates when I can easily fix it with a jig on a soft brick? It advertises that it can unbrick most modern phones including Androids and Iphone. That is tempting, imo.

If a Jig doesn't fix it, i'd sell my Captivate for parts rather than a JTag

Hey, I'm in Belgium and can unbrick model you want...

Most of cases you do not need a JTAG. You may want to try a jig first.

Still the Questions:

Short and painless: No, there's nothing you can do to repair the hard brick.
The two options left to you are:
1. Send it off to SE in case you somehow still have warranty.
2. Find a _SKILLED_ repair shop. I don't know if the phone can be revived through JTAG by using a RIFFBox, but it would be worth a try. Additionally the service guys could take a look at setool.net where the_laser entertains "SETool". There's a method on how you can revive it by using SETool and the Qualcomm Resurrection cable / test-pin connection (UART mode Flash).
I think the chances to return the phone might be impossible as it's too obvious that you did something wrong.

This is one of a 100 threads I have seen that is about bricking
1: Use the search button!!! It is not an ornament of a piece of jewelry. It is there for a reason.
2: do what b. Jay said. Send it off to se.

[Q] UJK JTAG Kit - compatible with n7000 or not?

I'm thinking about buying Riff Box and I would like to know if the UJK JTAG Kit would be working with Galaxy n7000? If yes is it a good or bad solution for repairing phones. I can only add that my soldering skills are not top notch at this moment

JTAG is a no go for N7000 bricks; to my knowledge, not a single device was revived that way.
And I've been around here for quite some time.

I can only hope that you are wrong as I don't have any other options right now (except buying new mainboard, but I don't like this idea).

[Q] Connections for Jtag Samung Galaxy 8.9 Tablet

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
