Hi everyone. I have read the many threads on how to unbrick my Galaxy Note 1 and nothing works.
The problem appeared suddenly when I was trying to close an application called voice recorder.
The phone started to get on a boot loop. So I removed the battery, put it back on and tried to reboot it and was presented with a welcome menu set up in spanish. I shut down my phone, then removed the battery again, put it back and rebooted and since that my phone is no longer working. I have a completely black screen with no activity whatsoever.
I have tried the recovery option: volume up, home and ppower buttons with no response from the phone. Looks like it is completely dead
I have tried the flash odin option volume down, home and power button and none of my odin programs (odin 3 v3.07/ v1.85 or v.1836) are picking it up on the port.
What are my other options to revive my phone.
The last flash I used was Jelly Bean N7000XXLT9_N7000XXLT3_N7000OXXLT3_HOME.tar.md5.
I am also waiting for a jtag to come in the next few days.
Many thanks for your suggestions if there are any.
First make sure you have a charged battery. Then try recovery or download mode

Battery has been fully charged and is brand new and as I said nothing happens. No recovery, no download mode possible. Looks like it is all flat and dead!

Hello everyone.
I have a Galaxy S running stock ROM. No lagfix no custom ROM no root nothing.
Just now I tried going into recovery/download mode to see what features it have by pressing the volume down+home+Power button.
Now the phone says "Downloading
Do not turn of target! "
What can I do to solve this problem. Till now I havent tried to restart the phone? Should I do that?
Regards
Just pull the battery out and then start your phone normaly

Thanks for the quick reply. I am quite worried now.
Are you sure about the solution though? I have read about bricked phones though I dont think mine is such the case as I was not installing anything to the phone!
So pulling out battery is safe...or I should 1st try pressing the power button and see if it switches off?
Regards
If you didn't star flashing it with odin and just started download mode with 3 button combo there is nothing to be afraid of... You have to pull out the battery and put it back in.

Thanks a lot. I had simultaneously created this thread on 1 another forum also and someone told the same thing there.
I pulled out the battery and restarted the phone and it works fine. This incident have made sure I wont try Rooting the phone until its absolutely obselete!
Again thanks very much for your quick response which solved the problem.
Regards
I decided to upgrade to Cog2.2beta5 from Cog2.1.4 today using ROM Manager. Everything seemed to go well but after install and reboot all I got was a black screen and subsequent reboots landed me at the same result.
So I thought restoring back to stock with Odin One Click from this forum, the one with all the ROM files built right in, was the best next step. I downloaded Odin and followed the instruction to the T and it got stuck at the PIT step. After a few attempts at it now my phone won't even power on. I've let it sit without a battery in for several minutes and even charged it on a wall charger for 30 minutes just to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. Still won't power on or respond at all.
I'm fairly new to all of this... Any ideas on what would cause a total melt down of the phone to the point of not even powering on? It has been flawless for me since launch.
Didi you download the drivers? also did you unplug the phone while doing the flash>/
pull battery sim and sd if you have one
Wait a minutes or so
plug in USB
hold vol up and down
put in battery
If the phone does not immediately go to download mode, you have a fancy paper weight that doesn't even weigh that much.

I did download the drivers and from everything I could see, my system and Odin recognized the phone without issue.
I had to unplug it during the process because the process froze in the same spot for well over an hour. I didn't see any other choice.

Guess it's a paper weight then because the phone won't power up at all let alone go into download mode.
Thanks for your time guys.
sounds like you might have done exactly what i did with my first captivate and yes it IS bricked! i know you will read "its impossible" to do that but i "thought" i followed the correct steps and flashed only a pit file. what it does is repartition your file system but apparently nothing is added after that...
not sure what steps you took on odin but it sounds like you got the same error i did and then the same issue so im going to assume the same thing has happened here...sorry matey

I had mine hosed for a while and this is what I did to get it back.
When it is unplugged and everything is out of the phone (sd, sim, batt) , hold the power button down for 10 sec, then release.
Put in battery, hold vol up + vol dwn, Plug into different usb port, Plug into phone.
That should get you into download mode
Mine did this too and the steps mentioned fixed it for me

I too accidently only wrote the pit file and it wouldn't do anything at all just blank screen . Make sure you remove everything open Odin one click, plug in your phone with the USB cable, hold down volume up and down and plug in battery it should start in download mode. It does work.

What did you try to flash with Odin? (with version, variant #, with/without bootloaders)
What was the Odin log?
nothing, no roms yet. i was in the first part of the instruction. this is what i follow
1. Download and install the correct drivers below (mac and linux don't need drivers)
2. Plug in your usb cable to your phone and computer
3. Open Odin
4. Enter Download Mode (see below)
5. Click Start
6. Be Patient, the first boot will take a while
where can i find the odin logs?
I was trying to flash the Cognition 2.4 ROM, when it's done and reboot, it died. Nothing works, no download mode, no recovery mode, nothing on screen, but the phone is getting hotter and hotter after the power button is pressed.
I tried the procedures that says can cure a totally bricked captivate, but it didn't help.
Is there any other ways to unbrick it? It's only the 4th day after I purchase it
if you've only had it for 4 days, take it back..just don't tell em what you did to brick it..Just tell em you went to sleep and when you woke up thats how it was...or something to that affect
Just don't tell them you were trying to flash it or root it..Cause rooting DOES VOID YOUR WARRENTY!!!!
Search this site for Odin. There should be ways to recover. But as stated if you have had it for 4 days you can bring it back.
You said your phone just died. At what point, and how long did you wait before you gave up?
Captivate
Cog 2.4
Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Connect usb cable.
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.
Its worked when my phone did the same thing.
I used this one and it worked.

I had this happen a few weeks ago, same thing flashing cognition and got the crazy messed up text and pulled the battery....
In my case the guy who fixed it for me told me he needed to reflash the bootloader
I paid someone for this since I couldn't find a way. I hope for your sake you don't have too and can do it for free
Hello everybody,
I have a question regarding the actual situation of my phone since nobody on here seemed to had the same issue.
My diagnosis is that my phone is softbricked.
If I try to boot it normally the first Galaxy S logo appears but when the loading animation is supposed to begin, it doesn't. Additionally my phone vibrates one time with a logn vibration and after half a second with 3 short vibrations, looping on this situation.
Neither download mode or recovery mode button combo seems to work.
If I start with one of the two and release the keys as soon as the first logo appears it will be stuck at boot vibrating as above, if i don't release them, it just keeps rebooting.
Do you think I could get out of this with a download mode usb jig?
Thanks in advance
Soft brick......Yes to the jig.......try adb commands if you can get a connection..."adb reboot download"
Edit: Also have you read the many other attempts to try get to download... without battery but plugged in then combo, holding combo then putting battery in (no cable), finally cable and battery in then combo... i think there are a few more....
Also i hope you came across this
Telling us what you have done to your phone will help greatly!
What rom on /from, kernel, theme - what were you doing when it went tits-up?

try removing your battery for a few seconds. then hold down the vol down+power+menu then insert the battery while holding the 3 buttons to display the download mode.

I tried almost every combination I could find out on the net but nothing else happens, I've bought a jig on ebay and it should arrive in a couple of days. I will try and update ASAP.

I was on a stock 2.2 rooted room and I was following the guide to install cyanogenmod which is placed in the cyanogenmod wiki site...
after I flashed the speedmod kernel with hemdall, I got stuck in this situation.
Hello everyone ; Hope you're good,
So my Slll i9305 won't stop rebooting, and he bugged in Samsung logo, and again he reboot, I can't access to recovery mode " volume up, home button, and on button". I hoped to flash him, but I can't too, I can't connect my phone to PC,
I looked for the solution in google, and I finished to arrive here, maybe and I hope I can find the real solution of this problem
Thank you guys,
I'm waiting,
See u

Nep, I can't, I can't boot into download mode, and i can't do wipe
It's so complicated for me
That's weird. I assume the power button seems to be faulty. Were you running a stock rom? Did that happen out of the blue?

My Pc can't read the usb phone, I looked for all solution, and I tried them all, no hope
so im here needing ur help
thank you
What if you pull out battery for some minutes and then try to start your phone? Doesn't work either?
And my other questions? What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery?
Btw you don't have to quote each post, it is easier for reading
I give you a summary of the situation
I have a 9305 Black edition SIII, it restarts in a loop, and I can not charge the battery gets stuck with low battery and reboute yet, I even tried a different battery type EB-L1G6LLU and it lasts for two week almost;
The download mode does not work, every time I enabled it restarts,
The recovery mode to wipe the same, it does not even appear,
I tried to connect via keis Odin and the other failure of the operation
I even tried to change the connector, the same thing
Frankly I do not know what to do, If you have a tip, hint is welcome
What did you do before that boot loop happened? Are you running stock ROM and stock recovery? or all custom? If you pull out battery and put it back in, does the phone start on its own without you pressing the power button?
I tried any solution possible in Internet and form from the world wide.
My motherboard are dead so, I have only one solution it's to buy a other.
Thank you to be here and answing
