Hello. Sorry for my english.
I've been living on the edge, like many of us LOL, and i finally got hard bricked. No battery charge, logo, download mode. Nothing. Just a black screen.
I was using ICS stunner 1.4.26 and decided to flash Catastrophic Meltdown 9 (CM9 for friends). The problems was that my battery died when it was installing the kernel, or the boot, i dont know.
So, i have been reading a lot those days but nothing seems to work. I have ordered a Jig but i think is not going to work. Yesterday i used windows, and something was detected when i plugged in the usb, but Odin not.Today it does not work, and windows doesnt play any sound. Any idea? A Jag?
I should say this is the best mobile phone i have ever touched. I would be eternal grateful with all of you if we could fix this mess. I was aware that there were risks. Im aware now maybe i cant fixit and im not gonna blame anyone because it was my responsability, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, nothing worked (tried the JIG). I had to send it in for repair, but they didn't see that it was my fault (still had warranty).

From my experience the only way u can get ur phone back in service is go to ssc and make some reasonable reason why ur phone is dead, so u can still claim for warranty and I am sure they will replace ur engine/mobo like my friends did a month ago.

It has nothing to do with your battery dying and everything with trying to flash CM9 directly from super-dangerous LP5 or LP6 leak ICS kernel.
No jig or JTag will revive your phone now.
However, if your Note refuses to go into download or recovery mode, you are in luck - if you have a warranty, that is. Just take your phone to the service center and tell them that it died when updating via Kies. There is no way for them to tell what had really happened and they will have to replace your motherboard free of charge.
Sadly, jig didnt solve the problem. Battery isnt hot when plugged in, is my motherboard fried by flashing the note?
Could a jtag solve the problem?
Try to take it back in for warranty before attempting a JTAG and voiding the warranty (that they can tell)

Yeah, that's a classic superbrick, need replacement mobo. Sorry dude. As mentioned just say you were updating ics ota or through kies.

I got the same problem few days back..I went to service center and said that i got an ota update and after downloading had completed,it started rebooting and there i got some errors and finally my phone is dead
They were unable to find the exact reason why it got bricked as it was unable to enter download or recovery mode
So they replaced the motherboard under warrenty
Better this it once
All the best :good:
I dont think that warranty thing is gonna work, because i have lost some inside cover screws... yeah, thats a long story trying to fix it. If i borrow a motherboard... could i recover my data? because thats all i want at the moment. Or, is there any website where i can buy it? Otherwise, im going to try it with the warranty...

What cover screws??
If you change your motherboard,you will lose all your data
I just came back from the service center and they are covering it under warranty . Similar symptoms and they are going to replace the whole board. Just take it to the service center and say "Yo man your **** died on it own" :fingers-crossed:

Hi everyone, I purchased my Xperia TX 2 months ago in Singapore and now I return to my home country- Vietnam. My phone was working good till last week.
I was surfing via 3G on my phone and i remember it was 3% battery left and then BANGGG...My phone turned black and i though it was out of battery.
Then I charged it on wall socket as usual and saw the red notification light as usual but it disappeared after a while. I couldnt turn it on anymore. I charged it for 4 hours and the screen kept the same.
I have tried to press "power +up/down volume" keys and its still frozen. Only the red light vibrates and nothing more.
I DIDNT unlock the boot loader, water, or drop it. I use my phone for daily uses and usually connect with the Sony Companion so I make sure again its not rooted yet.
Finally, I bring it on the customer service and they said its because of my fault to unplugged it when flashing ROM bla bla bla. i though Its because they have not seen any problem like this before since Xperia TX has not been released in Vietnam yet and they could not turn the phone on or connect it to PC. So, I left it there this morning and wait for the result.:crying:
Does anyone have the same problem with me? Is it the hardware or software problem? Is it the Sleep of Death (SOD) mentioned in some thread here? PLEASE show me how to fix it!
Have you tried taking out the battery, wait awhile and put it back again and plug the phone for charging again?
But since it's already in the service center, no need to worry, they can repair whatever the problem is.

you should have tried the backup and restore app of Sony bro, copy the backup to your PC and then restore it later after your phone got back from service center
anyways, next time try that app, it saves a lot of time
and about service center, they are quite very good in service quality

Yesterday i tried removing the battery and it was no use. I am mad because i just lightly used the product for less than 2 weeks, took good care of it, and wont be able to return it because I am in another country. So that is 539 USD wasted.
Hey, anything could solve this problem?
As many threads about this (Or a similar problem) suggest you just need to leave you rphone on charge for at least 24 hours. Use a wll charger not a USB.
Do not touch the phone in this time, just wait. If after this it does not charge, it appears your battery is FUBAR'd
Hey, device more than 24 hours when there is no change, still red light. I had some battery nothing helps. Help please what can be done? Thank you.

Do you know someone else with a phone that yu could borrow their battery to see?
I take it you have checked whether the charger works and tried other chargers?
Another trick I have heard of in the old X10 forum is to cut the end of your charger lead and directly put red wire onto positive end of battery and black wire onto the negative end and charge the battery that way. But do this at your own risk. I have no way of knowing if this will work on the TX and it may even make the battery worse....but for a last chance it may be worth a go.
Edit
Also, its not yet been 24 hours since my post saying leave it plugged in for 24 hours...so maybe following instructions to the letter is something to go with in the future...
Hey, thanks for the experience to help and sorry for publication in both forums. I just gave up. I tried another battery I have another battery ... Did not work I think just the CPU burned or something? Sony is waiting for a reply on the matter. Unfortunately I did not buy the device in my country is not out here so I'm not sure I'd have a warranty. Thanks again

Got the same problem. No one can resolve this, and Sony refusing to repair a month old phone if you bought it not in your country. What a shame.
Bought new phone instead of bricked one.
hey,
i was on slim bean, and wanted to flash a new ROM. So i switched on ODIN to go back to Stock JF6. During the process it got stuck at factoryfs.rfs. I closed ODIN, pulled out battery and tried the same process many times, always got stuck at factoryfs.rfs or sbl.bin
then, i tried going to Gingerbread 2.3.3 ODIN 1 click with bootloaders and kernel. again it kept getting stuck and after sometime, it stopped entering into download mode.
now, plugging it in doesnt show battery charging, the computer doesnt even detect new hardware (have tried on many pcs), no sign of life from my cappy.
have tried all sorts of button combos, etc
so is it like totally Bricked with no hopes of revival?
PS: since im in India, international shipping of the JIG costs a lot!!!

That's why there's a warning flashing bootloaders with Odin or Heimdall.. You never unplug/stop it. Your phone is most likely hard-bricked right now.
You only option would be to use mobiletechvideos .com services (JTAG).

yea, it seems its hard bricked now, the phone shows absolutely no signs of life whatsoever. not even the battery charging image is there, its just dead :'(
I cant send it for JTAG service cause im from India and its gonna cost a hell lot to ship it to the USA... damn
Hmmm.. same goes here.. I'm from Bangalore.. you can order usb jig frm ebay india. Cost you 220 rupees.. I just ordered one for me. My phone also bricked, don't knw whtr it is soft or hard bricked. It's not turning on, my phone went dark green while flashing stock Rom, aftr that no signs of life. One mobile repair shop is available in Bangalore,, they can unbrick our hard bricked phones using JTag..

Here is the address: Cell tech communications, asuntha mansion, 2nd floor, 6th cross, vinayakanagar, adugodi,bangalore30. Their contact no: 9972477771. They said, they might charge in between 1000-1500 rupees, i bargained, they accepted to do it for 1000. I think this issue occurs cause of bad data cable, first i request you to try with another data cable, thn try with jig. if issue still persist, thn go for repair..
omg thanks bro, really really thanks

If you can build one, yes. Otherwise, it's probably not worth the crazy shipping cost to India. They're fairly easy to make though: 100k resistor x3 that you tape together. There is a guide in here if you wanna look into it.
You r welcome ,I'm gng to get my jig today which I ordered yesterday.. I vl try n let you knw whtr its working or not..

Yeah, jig works on the samsung galaxy series. I bought one a year ago for my Captivate (S1) and it works on my S3.
Jig works for me I was able to flash stock ROM.. once you get your jig. Try to flash by connecting to another usb port. Coz same issue occurs for me by flashing using same usb port which I used last time.. after connecting the data cable to another usb port, everything went off smoothly. Yes galaxy s2 jig works for all sgs series phones., i wasted whole day on this. Bt I'm happy coz my issue resolved..

No signs of life.. mine was dead like yours bro.. I vl send you the ebay link2moro Mrng. Give me your contact number.. I vl give you a cal..
hey, i pm'd you my number...your number is incorrect man, its 9 digit , 1 digit missing
Reporting Back:
Got the jig today, Alas my phone didnt get into download mode, i thought maybe the battery has run out, got that checked and it was still doing 75%, tried all sorts of key combos along with the JIG also, lol, did everything. The phone just refuses to show any signs of life. Connecting to PC doesnt show new hardware attached. Nothing. So i guess its gone forever now, unless i find someone who does JTAG in India :'(
This is going to be a long story.
Had my note with me for about 3 years now.. Was waiting for the warranty to expire before I rooted it but I just never got to it.. So I was on Stock ROM and kernel all this time.
So last Friday (3 days back) was its doomsday.. had just replied to a text message, locked the phone and that was the last time I saw it working :crying:
It had switched off and when I tried to switch it back on it was stuck in bootloop, on the 'samsung galaxy note n7000' screen to be precise.. did some googling, came to xda forums, got that I need to get me recovery.. Vol Up + Home + Power.. nothing.. it just restarted and bought me to the boot note n7000 screen.. searched this now on xda,. got that I need to check if I have the download mode.. Vol Down + Home + Power and voila its alive, I had the download option.
Now from various threads I got that the next step would be install a kernel with recovery option it and I felt most recommended were Phil'z kernels.. So that is what I did. I downloaded Odin v3.09 and (not able to post URLs since a new user) Philz kernel (PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT9-ORA-5.11.2.tar) but it always got stuck at zimage.. tried 3 diff cables and 4 diff usb ports.. turned out the culprit was Odin version.. downloaded v 1.30 and it worked.. I was able to flash it to Philz kernel with a pass in Odin.. Tried to see if I could get the recovery option now but nada.. still stuck at the boot logo screen. Tried other Philz kernels for n7000 to see if they would do the trick.. I tried (philz_touch_6.07.9-n7000.tar.md5) and (philz_touch_6.12.8-n7000.tar.md5) but both got stuck at zimage so I left it at the cwm6 one.
Now read other threads and I got that the way to go back to stock kernel and flash the stock rom as well.. so downloaded the stock indian JB Rom (N7000DDLSC_N7000ODDLSC_N7000DDLS6_HOME.tar.md5) from sammobile's firmware and this stock kernel (DDLRI N7000), can't figure out which thread I downloaded this from though. So I flashed the kernel first and it was a pass and the odin mode screen showed, custom bin count as 1 and current binary as samsung official. Next I tried to flash the stock rom but Odin got stuck at 'factoryfs.img'. Then dunno why I thought that stock kernel is bad and decided to go to back to Philz kernel.. the one that I was able to flash successfully. I did it via Odin and it was a pass, the phone restarted and it hasn't switched on since. I mean I don't have even the download mode now.
So in short, no recovery mode, no download mode, and no boot loop screen as well.. I have tried to see if its in deep freeze or not, I mean whether the screen is not displaying anything and still be able to go to download mode to see if ODIN is able to detect it but it ain't working. Also if I try to charge it, nothings displayed on the screen but it does get warm
Do I have any hope in reviving it on my own? I have tried to contact fellow xda mates here in gurgaon to see if they can lend me their usb jig yet to see their response.. Is it worth it to spend money to get one of my own? Any idea what the fault might me and if all's lost how much would samsung charge me on fixing it.
Samsung would definitely charge too much, but i dont see anything wrong that you might have done to end up in this situation. I would suggest you to use a fully charged battery first to see if you can access download or recovery mode and if you dont have spare battery try to use external charger to charge only battery outside of phone, insert in phone and try the download mode or the recovery mode. USB jig shouldn't be too expensive if you want to try that after charging the battery and you can also make USB jig yourself if you understand those things.
Cheers!!!
Well I am trying to figure out where to buy the resistors to buy from.. Dad has a soldering kit so should be able to use that.. Yes I am afraid Samsung will charge me a bomb for this.. and on top of it I had bought a new battery just a day before.. Now I don't have an external charger to charge the battery separately.. Doesn't the device heating up mean that its charging?

It may mean that its charging as there is no way to check, purchase these, very inexpensive:

Not advertising, not promoting just showing the picture. You would get it from any local shop.
Okay, will get one.. So you think there's still hope for my poor phone
Can't figure out why its lost its download screen.
Had gone on a work related trip hence the gap.. Got an external charger but didn't help.. same result..
Too much of a hassle to get the resistors where i live.. Have ordered one for myself now.. and that I believe is going to be my last hope or else I am going to have a very expensive paperweight.
Do you think it would be worth to get it checked by Samsung.. I hope they do give at least an estimate of the repair cost.
From what I have read in the forums here Samsung would charge around 260 $ on a new motherboard which would cost around 260$ and with the same amount I can buy a new Moto G.. so that's that.. waiting for the jig and then will make a call on what to do..
Please let me know if there is something else I can do to salvage this phone. Thanks

Yes, try the JIG and if that too doesn't work, get an estimate atleast from Samsung (no harm in it). There are always repair technicians in the famous market (if you know which place i am referring to)

Got the jig today.. Still nothing the screen remains black even if I plug in the jig.. No download mode.. Connecting it to pc after removing the jig, with ODIN on also doesn't show any sign of life.. Guess will take it to the samsung service center and will ask for their estimate.. If they charge a paisa above 5k going for the Moto G then..
The jig works, I tried it on me mum's old galaxy y so has to be the phone only.. Thanks Hawk for all the help.. and regarding the famous market I think you were referring to Gaffar isn't it

That's nice.. its a always a worry that you might get ripped off there Let me visit the service center today and see what they come back with.. If all fails will PM you for your friends details and take it to him.
They are charging me 8k - 9k.. :crying:
The mobo has failed and needs replacement. Seems like its time to say to bbye to my good old note.. and to top it, I think Note has spoiled me as well.. I had a friends moto g to try its look and feel.. it seemed so puny compared to my note and didn't like it the way it was don't understand why didn't they give an expandable memory slot as well..
Looks like am going to shell out more than 20k for my new phone now Hawk do you mind PM'ing me the contact details of the guy you know in Gaffar market.. Have to go to CP today so might as well give it a shot there.
Hi.
Well this is a longer story. I try to tell the thumbnails.
The phone got (ocean) wet but didn't show problems for about a week or two then it stopped charging "normally" meaning charging got very slow and drained fast. Figured it was the little usb panel on the bottom. I ordered new one but putting it back together a screw stuck between the battery and the metal backplate. Pretty lame huh? I disassembled it fast so I thought sigh no problem. (the battery was on fire after i got it out and threw it on the ground in anger)
So I bought a new - not original - battery too. All ran fine again like it was before.
Then suddenly The phone turned off and looked like it was a bootloop.
Here's the interesting part because I don't remember if I already unlocked and put custom recovery / image on the phone before or only at this ponint. Mark this point.
After this, the phone only turned on while on the HP laptop's usb port with the little thunderbolt on it. Must have some tremendous juice or something. The phone shows 0% drained, not charging.
I switched cables, the usb part and battery again but still the same with both batteries, cables etc. Factory reset naturally.
My question is basically if this can happen because of a faulty/bad version/whatnot bootloader (I think i use TWRP) or this is a motherboard failure then? I don't have a HP laptop and have to search for one in case you say it does worth a try.
Thanks

did you read the whole post? it's unlocked, modified, was taken apart, parts exchanged.
if there was a warranty on it, that'd been the first thing i'd done. naturally.
thanks anyway

I am saying this because I think it may be a hardware problem. Did you try the test method?
