I found a way to actually brick the cappy

Im retarted wasnt paying attn, too sleepy.
I flashed the stock pit and tar from an epic onto the cappy and now it wont even turn on. Wont respond to anything.
Cant get it in to download. No life at all,Shes dead captain, kinda thing.
So it started out i was going to flash back to something other than trident/cm7.
Im bought the car dock and was going to use the kernal so the dock would actually work.
Well it was like any other flash ive done countless times.. Till odin preformed an illegal operation and then it dawned on me what i did.. It was still in download but the computer didn't recognize it any longer. So power off and try to go back to dl mode.. the phone wont respond at all. The power button does nothing.. Plugging it in does nothing..
Im pretty sure its dead, thoughts? other than the flamming for being a newb.

Well with the jig it still has to be able to turn on.. I cant get it to even do that
So i dunno.. Thats why im drawing a blank. I would think it would at the very lest be able to get in to dl mode but nothing lol

So you had the 3 button combo working before?
Have you
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 plug in the cable to your computer
3 Hold the vol up/down buttons
4 Plug in micro usb to phone?
If that doesn't work try the same process but do this.
1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want
2 Remove battery from phone
3 Plug phone to computer and hold vol up/down
4 Push battery in
Try those methods if you haven't already. If they don't work a jig might be your best option to get the phone to DL mode.
And a jig seems to work when you really think it wouldn't but try either of these methods first. I was stuck last week when my phone would not power or anything and the second method worked for me.

Yepper thats the method ive been using forever to get into dl mode.
And yea tried the the 2nd way too no dice..

Idk what build number your phone is but build 1010 I'd under product advisory. I had a similar issue and brought it to the att service center and got a brand new cappy v 1008

Off topic, you had a 1010 build, got a replace that is 1008 and you think it's new.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

It sounds dead sir. No idea what ODIN did, but if it's not responding to the power, charger, usb, combo-tricks, etc. It sounds like it's been perma-bricked
If it's still under warranty, it's certainly worth trying to get it replaced... "What the hell is wrong with this phone? It won't turn on anymore?!"

Can still try a jig.

Look up connexion2005 on this site or get in touch with him on mobiletechreview.com you can also look him up on youtube and his rom in a flash videos. Ghats how I got in touch with him when my phone was fubard and 4 days after I shipped it to him I got it back working like new.
Its well worth the effort to get in touch with him. He is a good guy and I'm sure he can help you.

there is no point using a jig. return for warranty. play dumb.

So I made a jig and still dead as anything. Weird, oh well anyone think of anything else? Prob going to see about trying to get art to replace it. Or pay the insurance

Your battery isn't dead is it?

Ha nope at last recall it was around 80% before it happened. And I also tried a fully charged battery from an epic
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

I find it hard to believe since a bad flash killed my battery from 96%. But I'm not there so I can't say otherwise. The homemade jig thing from radioshack did not work for me though. I had to use one that was made by one of the members here. I had it plugged in, popped in the battery, and it fired up. Try a couple different combos and see if you get lucky. If I remember correctly it was like 3 tries for me

Yep, verified she's dead..
I hacked a usb cord, and teseted it on an Epic. worked great for the epic..
but the same method on the cappy and she's still dead no life..
/sad panda

how did you make the jig? i bricked mine not to long ago... i didnt use the 301k resistor that you hear about in other threads... i went to radio shack bought a pack of 100k resistors and a pack of 1k .... i soldered three of the 100k and one of the 1k, end to end... then soldered it to the 4 and 5 pin on the stripped charger plug.... this will work... the firmware/kernal/rom changes you have made shouldnt affect the phones ability to get into download mode....

you dont know what your doing then... if the jig you use from the members worked then you deffinately didnt make urs right.... search these threads there are pictures of what pins to use... you actually dont even have to solder them... just stick the stripped down plug in and touch the ends of the jig to the correct pins... however... do not touch the the actual wires of the jig as it will change the resistance, if that happens it will appear that the jig doesnt work... this is SIMPLE! and if you cant get it to work then youre not following directions, also as he said above.. it doesnt matter that you had 80% before... make sure your battery is charged and try your jig again... that is if you even made one to begin with...

Cut the guy some slack. Unless you know him or work with him, how do you know he hasn't?
Anyway. Look, I had a similar issue with odin. I didn't run it as admin on win7 and it froze about half way. I unplugged and popped the battery, next thing, it wouldn't start. Since I knew my phone wouldn't work with the 3 button, stock, I tried something else. I let the phone sit for about 5 minutes, came back, put in battery, held the volume buttons as I inserted the usb. Snapped right into download mode.
Not everything works for the same device. It could be that your jig has something wrong with it. Just a thought.
But a hint for the community, unless you know the person you are speaking to personally, don't assume he's lazy and hasn't made his jig.

Bricked Tab, No Lights, No Screen BUT USB recognised. HELP!

Hi
Ive bricked my Tab from updating to Gingerbread through ODIN, I knocked the USB lead out by accident. The bootloader froze and couldn't get it to flash again, so I turned it off (BIG MISTAKE) and now it wont turn on. It won't boot in to bootloader mode either.
BUT
If I plug it in to my PC, it is recognised as 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D'. The drivers wont install, if I hold the power button while plugged in to the PC then it disappears from Device Manager.
Ive searched the forums and found nobody with the same 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' detection.
Could somebody please help me, I cant find my receipt for it and im worried about the price of the repair.
Many Thanks
Ryan

Thanks for the reply, I cant seem to get odin to recognize it. Only each time when I plug it in, 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' pops up trying to install drivers. I've left it to charge on the mains for the rest of the day and going to see if that helps.
Ive found a bank statement with my purchase on it, so I might be able to use that as a proof of purchase. Do you think I could get this repaired under warranty even though Ive bricked it?

Go ahead and do a RMA with Samsung, i'm sure they will send you a new device, or at least they can try to repair the broken one. Good luck!
PS. don't tell that you've bricked the tab!

[Q] SGS I9000 computer crashed while updating flashing

My computer crashed while trying to flash an SGS I9000 through Odin. The phone will not boot at all - the screen just stays off. I've tried pulling the battery for extended periods but it makes no difference. I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. The screen seems permanently off.
When I put the battery in and plug the phone into the computer it tries (and fails) to install a driver for a "SEC S59C110 Test B/D".
I've tried the 301K resistor jig but it did not seem to do anything.
Any ideas on what I can do? The phone is long out of warranty, so if the phone is permanently dead then I'll just have to buy a new one (though I'm hoping for a fix, if possible!)

You could try this:

it's basically the same thing, but it talks about the possibility of using the unbrickable mod without doing the hardware mod... (if i got it right) wich i think it is your case because the computer is able to enumerate usb.

It's very strange that the jig fails on these situation.
Maybe that the jig is not correctly built....
Why don't you try with another usb dongle?
I hope that you solve your problem.

I can't believe it - I'm absolutely astounded. UnBrickable and Heimdall worked and they brought the phone back to life! Thank you guys so much!

you did the hardware mod for unbrickable?

No, I dismantled the phone and when I saw how tiny the resistors were I shat my pants.
I tried it without doing the hardware mods first, and I was going to mod it only if it failed (which, fortunately, it didn't!)

you lucky one then if the bootloader would be f.... up you would have to techmod
but anyways gg ;]

[Q] Deadly injured Note

Hello, guys.. I'm having a real trouble with my Note. I bought it 3 months ago, but it seems that today's my "lucky" day and the microUSB connector isn't working anymore. At all. No charging, no "usb connected", no mass storage. It's not charging even when I turn off the phone and plug the charger.
So.. I guess I have to ask for a repair or a replacement. But here's the problem. I've changed both the kernel and the ROM and I have to restore the phone to it's original state before taking it to the service. I read the UNroot topic under the development section, but I didn't understand it well. I need to do it through the phone since I can't connect the device to my computer because of the malfunctioning microUSB port. I can't charge the battery either, so I'm stuck with only 36% power and I can't simply shoot in the dark. I turned the phone to save the power and I hope it should be enough to finish the operation, but I don't really know how to start it. I guess I have to download stock kernal and stock ROM and then flash it somehow (Mobile Odin!?), but I'm not sure and I really need your help.
Any help would be highly appreciated, I'll continue looking around for info.
10x in advance

a lot of users suggest others - who are having a similar problem with you, to try cleaning the usb port...

It looks clean. The cable is okay too. I'm working at Gameloft so we have lot's of micro-usb devices and they're working just fine with the exact same PC and cable.
Anyway, to be 100% sure - how to clean the port? I mean - it's so tiny little hole and there isn't any direct access to it.. But I think it's gone.. It randomly shows "charging" while the cable is not plugged at all. Then it stops.. and starts again.

Put stock rom on your external sd,install mobile odin pro from market and use it to flash the stock rom.And remember donot select ever root,inject su,inject mobile odin.And after it finish flashing,you can send it for service

Put a stock rom and then try cleaning the USB as someone suggested. My usb port would stop working at random and I cleaned the port with a toothbrush and it has worked ever since. That was 2-3 months ago.

Well, thanks guys.. I'll try the tooth-brush trick when I get home and if it fails to solve the problem, I'm gonna flash the stock ROM with MOP and take it to the service. I'll keep you posted.

Not a difference you "see" technically. From my understanding mobile Odin cannot touch bootloaders. Pc Odin can. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. From Chainfires first.post in his Mobile Odin thread, "While in theory Mobile ODIN can repartition and flash EFS and bootloaders, it will cowardly refuse to do so, for your own safety."

Assumign that you have a micro SD in the slot-
Take the micro SD out and connect it to your computer. Or use airdroid for file transfer over wifi. Whichever way you use, create a folder called firmware and put the .md5 in the folder and flash it through CWM or mobile odin.

Fast Charging Only Works Wirelessly

After searching related posts, I still haven't found a solution to my problem.
- I have tried several 2.0 quick chargers and cables that all previously provided fast charging for my Note 5, but I'm still only getting regular cable charging.
- Tried unplugging and plugging immediately
- Tried soft reset
- Tried wiping cache
I don't know why fast charging suddenly stopped working. Wireless fast charging still works 100% of the time. Any suggestions?

Try using Odin to reflash the entire firmware. If this doesn't help then you will have to have Samsung send you another phone and they will as long as it's not over a year. You can download the firmware from sammobile and other places and then use Odin on Windows to flash but be sure to enable oem unlock in developer settings.
Before trying all of this toggle the fast charge off and back on again and reboot then see if it works

Thanks for the reply. The on/off toggle and restart didn't work.
There is something strange I notice when plugging in a charger sometimes. I get the notification for USB options. I feel like the fact that it's giving me the option to choose a media device, means that my phone is not recognizing the cable as a charging cable. Attached image.
Changing it to "charging" does not make a difference.

It's supposed to give you those options mine does that too. Try doing a full firmware reinstall and then if that doesn't work you really will have to ask Samsung for a replacement.

Well if its rooted .. Samsung won't. But you need to ask samsung for another charger.

Interesting that I see this post...I had exactly the same problem with a friends Note 5 ( SM-N920W8 ) he bought from a guy he found online met in person, and had the exact same issue.
I thought it might be the rapid charger, but it wasn't that at all.
He ended up selling that Note 5, and bought a brand spanking new sealed 920W8, and it now works perfectly fine.
I should also note that his N5 had a nice mark on the lower left side, which to me, it definitely has been dropped, I think it has something to do with it.
Hope this helps.

Well I tried reflashing the stock firmware with no luck. And I ultimately did a full restore, but that didn't work either. Can't take it to Samsung because Knox is tripped.
It must be a hardware issue at this point. Maybe the charging port on the phone needs to be replaced?

I'm having this issue too.. tried the same things you did.. I did called Samsung and it asked me to make a factory reset. But I don't want to do that... Mine is not rooted and I don't want to restore my apps manually... Did you tried factory reset?
I'm googling for 3 days and I guess it's a software issue... I use several usb chargers, I guess you too... and one of the times it detected the charger as a computer... I think it messed up everything....
I bought mine in Hong Kong so no warranty in my country... don't know what to do, but if you could try the factory reset I'll be interested to know if it worked.
EDITED: only now I saw you did the factory reset... sad it didn't work.... I head of people that used air machine to clean the micro usb slot.... they had some luck.. I didnt...

Samsung really isn't going to give a crap that Knox is tripped because they even send "certified replacements" with Knox tripped.

Things I suspect more, once I download a windows exe program that used ADB to debloat the device... did not function but I had to reset the device.... and as I said, I use multiple chargers, even a chinese powerpack cover that once was detected as a PC... very strange....
The fast charging is not a must for me... as I charge it during the night, but it sure is a hell of help when I have to use a lot of camera or GPS....

Factory reset didn't work. Cleaning the port with alcohol, cutip/small object, and canned air didn't work. I have dropped the phone, but nothing significant. Everyone has (probably). Should be no water damage.
I also used to think it was something software related. As you said xnes, I also suddenly started getting the notification for USB options when plugging a cable in (thinks it's a PC). I didn't used to get that before when fast charging worked properly. Since you're experiencing this too, I'm going back to a possible software issue. I never connected and pushed anything to my phone via ADB though.
I was gonna just replace the charging port, but after looking at the DIY video, I'm not about to remove the screen (and potentially breaking it) to replace this port, which may or may not even fix it.
Hmmm.. I don't know.

Did you try to at least re-odin the firmware as I suggested using the guide here..

Use your own firmware though.. if this doesn't work then it's not a software issue.

No sir, your Knox will be fine just follow the instructions and use the correct firmware for your phone.

Can you believe this? I've been in contact with Samsung support and they've confirmed that my phone is under warranty. So I send the phone out to them, and they send it back saying:
"We have performed a thorough examination of your device, and it has been determined that the unit is beyond economical repair. The unrepaired device has been returned to you."
So much for having warranty huh? So furious with Samsung on this. Won't even fix their faulty charger! Now I have to restore my phone again for the 14725625th time.
