What were you doing before it bricked? ie. Were you flashing something, using it to hammer nails, or mixed it up for soap in the shower?

I wanted to install cm-9-20120804-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd on the device. Actual the installation was successful then when i was trying to restore my backup. it now stoped in d process of installing boot sector. after which remove the battery to start again. that was when it started showing that. actuall when i press power to on it doesn't respond but it only show the display when i plug my charger or usb to computer.
I had exactly the same problem. Use a program called one-click unbrick, that will get your phone back into download mode. After that you can use odin to restore stock. Watch out though, I was very happy when this all worked and I booted into stock only to find out that restarting the phone would brick my phone even worse than it was before. Now the computer wont even pick it up at all and it is stuck in a white at&t bootloop screen when I turn it on. When it is plugged in, all I get is a grey battery that isnt charging and it will not go into download mode. I don't know what I did wrong so I cant tell you how to prevent this problem so just be careful.
A jig would likely be your best option to force your phone in download mode.
If you haven't tried it already, try flashing a stock rom using Heimdall. I've had much better luck using that program than Odin with my own phone.

droy... The problem you're describing is exactly what happened to the first cappy I had, fortunately for me, I did it within a week of getting the phone.... I took it to an AT&T service center *aaack*, they were nice enough to tell me that there was nothing they could do and that I should be able to get it sent back in. Fortunately for me, it was right around the time when the 2.3.5 stock update came out and there were a few other people that were having somewhat similar problems. To try and fix it, I tried the jig, which I constructed myself only, ran the meter tests and found out that it didn't work after trying 3 different ones. I sent it back and got another, fortunately, I haven't ran into the issue again, so I think it may just be some kind of fault on the board given that I've never read of anyone else until now running into the problem
Thanks youall, gr8 help
Hi guys. My SGN is permanently freezing while booting. Suddenly the red lines appear and phone is stucked. It stucks on boot logo, or boot animation, or after successfull boot into system. It looks like this:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61718936/IMAG0003.jpg
Phone becomes quite hot on the back near camera.
I bought phone with stock 2.3.6. It was running for about 2 hours and i made OTA update to 4.0.4. It started to reboot itself while i was using it. So thought, i might use custom ROM to get rid of this freezes and reboots. But no change. Even on 4.2.1. I reverted back to 2.3.6. I noticed, that these red lines changes and moves (or even whole screen becomes red) while i'm twisting or pressing phone on various places. So i think, there is cold solder joint somewhere on motherboard. Maybe on graphic chip, because i didn't notice this problem while in recovery or download mode.
Can anybody help me with this problem, or point me on right place to look at on motherboard? Thanks in advance.
Seems to be defective device. Check with service center.

If you're able to, run this app to check for errors, I take it you have root. If it crashes mid scan, you've got problems with your emmc.

I hope you will find a solution for your problem.
But I have to admit I had to smile ("grinsen" in German is a much better word for it) when I saw your title:
Freezing even when >30°C
i'm not able to run device anymore but i already tried this app for checking emmc and this is the one with that bug. But it doesn't matter, because i was flashing only safe kernels, and i don't think this emmc is problem. I think the culprit is graphic chip, or CPU, or CfRF (Chip for Random Freezes)
I was not able to find any similar problem. Tomorrow, i will try to put device into download mode, flash any custom safe kernel with CWM, leave device in this recovery, and see if it freezes again. If yes, the only option is to get device warmer for a few degrees (300-350°C with my heat station haha ) and i will see if there was any cold solder joint. If not, device will be dead anyway so i have nothing to lose

guys i've made a small progress. I put a pressure on back side of the phone near camera, and i turned the phone on. It successfully booted to system. When i stopped pushing phones back, red lines appeared immediately and phone freezed. When i start to twist phone in hands, lines were getting bigger or smaller. When i pressed the back cover again, lines disappear (but phone was still frozen).
So now my task is, to find out, which chip is badly soldered.

You guys started having strange issues with ur notes. Maybe its something like a self destruct programmed on your phones so that after a year or two people will switch their phones. Besides the bigger the phones are getting the more issues they are having.
A phone should be like a device that shouod work flawless, in case of emergency one is needing to make a call and found that the phone freezed.
Sometimes i blame everything to android. Despite years of open development. Its yet not stabilizing, i guess because of it being open source vendors are putting crap in it making it more vulnerable to issues.
I dont rely on android rather i use a cheap phone for calls and text or iphone. Its just good for internet, ebooks, movies, music and camera.

Try pulling out the battery and then let the phone dry like a pair of wet socks. Clean the contacts and fit any loose thing that there may be.
Check your cable, if is loose or not, this way you could find if there were any unwanted sparks applied on the device.
Notice how it gets hot when is plugged in and you're using it? the battery reaches quickly 55 degrees which is not optimum, wait to cool to below this temperature.
My condolences in this sad event. Take care.
For some reason my xperia T won't boot up anymore. Its very strange and the second time it happened.
Previous time, after some tries with holding to volume keys while holding the power key, eventually it boot up again, but this time, it
just flashes red. Which means that it is empty. So I plug in the power cable and the red light stops flashing for a second and just turns solid red.
But then it turns off again.
Don't know what to do now. Pc companion obviously doesn't recognize the device since its off.
Last time that I actually fixed the problem, the touchscreen wouldn't work anymore, so I reflashed a very old firmware.
Then it worked again, so I installed the latest cyanogenmod, and had no problems for a few days.
I do think its a firmware issue. I think it actually has to do with the apollo app, or atleast the headphone plug being in use while the phone charges.
I was listening music while the phone was recharging, yesterday, and in the morning this happened. Last time the exact same situation.
Any Ideas? Not planning on spending money right now :fingers-crossed:
Leave it on charge for a long time and then try the hard reset.
okay. I'll try that. Already tried hard resetting few times now.

Didn't help. Left it recharging for hours, but when I try to boot it, it just gives me a red light that blinks 3 times. Maybe it is the battery or the usb,
but its still weird. Sudden death? Hard resetting still won't work..

I said a long time....
Lots of people leave it for 24 hours
I absolutelly do not recomend my solution untill everything else failed.
So here it goes:
When my phone was totally unresponssive (soft and hard boot reset failed), i dissasembled the phone and disconnected the battery and what solved my problem. I didn't know it was possible until i did it myself and this is the only reason i'm telling you: it's the very last thing but it's an option!

hmm, I want to try this. I just can't figure out how to open it. I saw a dissasembly vid on youtube, but when I get the first screw out, I can't seem to snap it open.. Im getting a bit desperate. Already went to the store, and they want to charge 45 euro's for a new battery+dissasembly.
Best way is to find the plastic tool it is shown in the video. But i had none so it takes some gentle force starting from the top left and then right to the key point that is the corner . It has to snap a little. Any metallic tools will damage the plastic and will leave traces. The tool might be replaced with a guitar feather if a friend of yours has one

If you are in a bootloop I suggest you have the wrong kernel
Just flash a stock ftf in flashtool
It just starts 2 months after I bought it. Initially the mobile will randomly and automatically shutdown, and it can only reboot when connected to the charger. But the problem is worse this time. Now when I start the mobile with the charger, and once the charger is removed, it will go black immediately.
I checked the battery when the mobile is rebooted, the battery is good.
I did the "wipe data" and "wipe cache partition" and reset the mobile to factory setting, the problem is still there.
I upgraded the mobile ROM via Ordin from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1, the same problem still happened.
Could anyone can help me to solve this problem ?
Do you have a case on the phone? I had a lot of heat issues with the Otterbox. Once I removed the case my slowness, lockups, and shutdowns stopped. Never again!

Do you resolve it? I have the same problem, i update to nugat beta2 And still shut down... May by it some hordware bug?
I have this issue last week. Solved by bring it for service. They said it's power IC problem. It's cheap to replace the IC, so you may want to try.

No, it's still lying on my table. Initially I doubt it's the battery problem, but after checking by the repairing shop, the battery is proved to be perfect. They consider it may be the software problem, so I upgraded the phone from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1, and nothing changes.
By the way, I tried to place the non-AT&T sim card in the phone, and it's still working with 6.0.1, but with the charger connected.

It shares the hardware with the normal S6, so a typical mobile repairing shop should be able to do the replacement

Solved.
But the service guy has to break the front screen to open the phone, therefor the front screen was also replaced and it's not cheap.

are you sure he had to break the phone screen? Maybe he made a mistake and told you so... I don't want to break my front screen just to fix the issue... I am currently on Android 7.0, SM-G920F, anyone experiencing the same?
I had this problem before it was from battery, I only change it & its okay now.

Hi sorry for late
I am on custom rom its good :good::good::good:
Hey guys,
I have a problem with this phone. I got my relative's note 8 for trying to fix ( i'm not android expert ).
As she says, for no reason phone freezed and shuted down. After that charging problem started, and battery doesn't show real percentage.
After that i got the phone, and tried to go factory reset in recovery menu. Now phone stucks at samsung logo. Sometimes it stucks at blue screen with "no command" text.
Phone doesn't works all the time also. For example, somehow phone charged %100, after that i tried to open it, it stucked at samsung logo. I tried hard reset, screen off and no more screen. After 4-5 hours it worked again, but stuck at samsung screen again.
I send phone to trusted local repair shop. They couldn't managed to fix also, they reported me that it should be motherboard issue and they can't do anything about it. I don't know did they tried to install stock rom again.
I see no reason for motherboard issue. No water, no big damage or something else happened to phone. There should be a way to fix this and i seek your support here.

I would go with what the repair shop said personally. They certainly know a lot more than I do. Unfortunately things do just break even with no error for the owner themselves.
It is definitely worth trying to flash stock rom with Odin though.
