If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

Hello
I have a Problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Wifi
Nothing works... cant get in downloadmode, cant get in recovery mode... cant get in System.. nothing... Screen is black if i hit Key Combos like downloadmode or recovery or just powerbutton... after 10 sec the screnn is kinda lighter... but then turn off again... nothing... dead...
any help???
Possiblte to reset it kinda? back to somethin?
Any bootloader fixer??? please help!!!!
It would be helpful to know how your tab got that way - what did you do to it?
If you did nothing, then you should make sure it's 100% recharged, from the home power, not a laptop, using the stock charger, for at least four hours.
The sympton you explain looks like your battery is already out of juice. Its die i think. Yeah, try charge it for 4 hour and see how.
RootMe2Heaven, you probably flashed a wrong firmware version on your device. I had my sch-i800 like this but i managed to solve it.
First thing, as already told here, charge it for about 4 hours.
Second, put your usb cable in the device and try to turn it on until your pc recognizes it.
Third, if your pc is recognizing your device, try to boot again but in download mode and flash a stock firmware from samfirmware.com
If you can't make your pc recognize the device in any way, when connected via usb, then you probably have a hard brick that needs a riff box to ressurrect.
The most important is to make your pc connect to device via usb, after that is just a matter of flashing the correct firmware.
Oh yaa..what firmware are you? Did you flash with custom rom? What did the last thing you do before this problem happen?? Maybe some info could help this community to assist you.

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file
Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.
USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...
I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?
Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?
Dear fellows,
I need your help. My colleague has some how bricked his Galaxy I9000 device. As per discussion he said he tried to upgrade the rom and accidently the rom he selected for flash via odine was for I9003 which is a variant of Galaxy S line of product.
Now what happened is the phone is completely dead no download mode nothing its all dead. I prepared a USB Jig and plugged in and followed our expert's guidelines but still no success. The device is still dead. One hunch of mine was drained battery and I put it on charging and observed the back (camera side) was slightly heating up when i checked after couple of hour of charging but the situation remained the same.
Any suggestion to recover this device and what has happened to the device? Is the samsung phone are so fragile? Im personally using Xperia X10i and never faced such problem even bricked its all recoverable via software workarounds.
Please suggest
Thanks Faisal
well i dont know if this will help but ill give it a try. when you plug the phone into the computer does the computer recognize the device? if it does see if it recognizes in odin. if thats all good in odin (gives you a port number) then to flash these files http://www.mediafire.com/?34oxweahfpy53dj
just un rar and follow readme. this may not work for you but a while back i hd a simular problem and this is how i fixed it so try it see if it works. If it does hit thanks.
ps this has also worked on different devices with simular problems but i did it with different files(the ones meant for the proper device form samfirmware.com)
Good Luck!
try option bootloader flash in odin, if you flash a firmware package.
should be recoverable for sure
last resort would be Unbrickable mod
the files i posted will flash bootloaders at the sme time. At least thats what i think the sbl file that it flashes is
How can he flash via odin when he can't even get into download mode??
Anyways I think u gotta replace jtag now..
If my post helped, don't mind hitting THANKS

well if you read what i posted i clearly said that i had simular problems, meaning ive been to the point where i couldnt get into dl mode or recovery and that is how i fixed it. heres a example; start to flash via odin and unplug while its flashing. Then try to go into dl mode or recovery. You cant! it scared the crap out of me, so i didnt give up and all i had to do is plug it into the computer and i recognized it in odin. so i flashed and there i had it it was fixed
Thanks for responses
Hi Guys,
thanks for responses but when the device is plugged with PC no activity at all. Fully dead
My colleague acquired repair services and recovered the phone because I dont have JTAG/RIFF with me.
Unbrickable mod was hard to try specially modification by shorting resistors from device motherboard.
Thanks

SGS i9000b hard bricked and dead

I didnt understand your messege. Whats a JTAG/RIFF. Should I try the USB Jig on mine?
I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG?
Hi Guys this is my first time posting here and hoping to find a solution to what I'm experiencing right now.
This is actually the second time and what happened is that my phone got into a BOOTLOOP so of course, Ideally the first thing I did was to forced it to shutdown using the Volume down + Power button combination and so I did, the phone turned off, But after that, When I tried to turned it on again, it won't turn itself on. I even tried to hold various button combinations but to no avail, nothing worked. Aside from that, I have tried to plug in the charger periodically after 20 - 30 seconds with the same interval before plugging it out and repeated the cycle for 20 tries but same result, it didn't worked as well..
So I'm here hoping that someone will be able to help me out as I don't know what to do anymore and I badly need to use my phone for my studies as well.. :crying::crying:
Hello @johnmark21t, I will do my best to help you to figure out what's going wrong with your Note8
Have you tried to boot into download mode (volume down + Bixby + power button) ? Does it work or not ?
If you can't boot your device into Recovery Mode then the motherboard is fried. You are better off getting a new device rather than replacing the motherboard

That's what I'm also thinking about but I cannot comprehend as to why it became like this as my phone was just on standby mode and then just turned off by itself and by the time that it restarted, it was stucked on the Samsung logo in which after I saw that it was like that, I have forced restarted it so I think that's my last conclusion but I don't think that that is the case for me...
What rom and what kernel you have what modes?. What twrp you have? You have flash wrong rom? Wrong kernel? Is impossible for the phone to turn in boot loop mode itself. You did something wrong before the bootloop. Try volume up and Bixby and power button for 30 secs. Or volume down and Bixby and power button for 30 secs. Motherboard failure no give you boot loop. Give you blue screen. Try to flah with Odin is the easy way.

Unfortunately I'm only at stock, not even rooted and I don't have custom recovery mode installed.. all in stock. Even the Odin mode is inaccessible as well.. and again I didn't do anything prior before this happened..
Try connecting your device to a computer with Smartswitch installed and run the emergency recovery process. If that doesn't work then I would recommend that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it.
However you should be able to repair your issues using Smartswitch.

Download and install Smartswitch onto your computer. Then connect your device to your computer and launch Smartswitch. If your device is detected by Smartswitch then launch the Emergency Recovery Process.
I'd like to dig this topic out.
I'm also experiencing bootloop after latest OTA update. I've taken device to Samsung Service and they told me that it's faulty motherboard and they want to charge me 1300pln which is about 335$ so I'm like - Hell no, it's not worth it.
Anyway, I'm kind of sceptical about whole fried motherboard story, since recovery mode is working correctly, download mode is showing up as well. I tried to flash same firmware as it has now. It passed but result is the same.
Gonna download some older SW version and try again but maybe any other suggestions from you guys?
UPDATE: Older SW version downloaded and result is still the same. So yeah, screw it

Try flashing firmware that's at least one update above the version you have on the phone and after you flash it in Odin and it finishes with a "PASS" then go into recovery mode and do a factory reset in fact try doing a factory reset right now just to see if it'll work since you have nothing to lose at this point.

I had a similar issue with my note 8. Just today . My phone carrier sent me an update (from USA T-Mobile ) to install. I had my phone connected to power .. and Phone just died during the update . I wonder if motherboard got fried ...

Any update on your phone?
I hope there's a class-action lawsuit about this. My Note8 had the same problem. An OTA update was done, and the phone shut off, never to turn on again. No combination of buttons powered the phone on at all.
