[Q] Bricked phone, Jig is not working

Ok so what happened was, I installed the Voodoo Lagfix + sound kernal for froyo and then I was having issues with the sound so I decided to just restore the phone back to stock. I put it into download mode via ADB, opened Odin and started it but somehow the cord got unplugged right when it says do not unplug. This has happened to me before so I have a jig that I bought online. It worked many times before but now when I take out the sim and sd and put in the jig with battery it just doesnt turn on. it says off and then if i hold the power by myself it boots into Phone..!..Computer. I cant do the 3 button download mode trick because I have flashed with odin before and it hasnt worked since then. What should I do? Should I just call Samsung and or att and just say my device got disconnected when updating?
EDIT :
I have already sent the phone to samsung, they said its going to take a total of 7 to 8 days for me to get my phone back. Thank you to everyone who helped

I read that if you remove the batt, put it back in then while holding just volume buttons in plug in the usb. Tried it and it went to dl mode for me. Hope this helps.

Yea, I called samsung and acted like i knew nothing about phones and I just told them that my computer turned off as it was updating. She then sent me a shipping label to send it to them

Captivated Brick Question

So I think my phone may be dead. I decided to Odin 1-click to Eclair from Cognition beta 1. My phone started, made it to rfs and then froze. The phone will not boot, recognize usb, charge, anything.
Does Eclair one click flash primary and secondary bootloaders? I know without them ordering a jig is useless. I have an upgrade and I can get a new phone but I would much rather fix my captivate. Any help guys?

I have odin'd back to stock from Cog 5 without problem but if you used the odin with the three button fix, you are screwed. the 3 button fix odin will mix bootloaders since it only loads one froyo/eclair bootloader.

Alright, I finally have time to sit at the computer.
The phone was running Cognition 5Beta1.
I did not use ODIN 1-click. I used ODIN3 v1.0, placed pit.pit in the pit, placed PDA in the PDA, Connected the phone and held the vol bumper. Phone booted into download and connected as COM4. (JF7 software) I clicked start, the phone made it all the way to RFS, the green bar made it approx 20% across and then the bump, the progress bar froze and would not continue any further. Now phone will not respond to any button. However, the battery was warm when I left it on the charger all night.
Doesn't the phone need the primary bootloader for charging?
I made the $1 JIG and failed. I do not have steady hands though. I'm pretty sure the phone needs JTAG but just wanted to sit and type everything out to make sure. I figured if sbl.bin completed that I would have a bootloader.

To answer my own question, my phone now has mismatched bootloaders and needs JTAG. Looks like it will be sent off soon.

Yeah That happened to me. Had GB loaders and went back to stock using JF6 secure. However I checked for an OTA update and there was one. So being the experimental type I downloaded it and while it was installing it failed halfway and complete Brick.....I realized soon afterwards my mistake. A few days and $50 later MobileTech sent me back a stock fixed device. Well worth it.
Last night I tried to use ODIN 3 1.3 to go back to stock out of a bootloop and since I have a new model captivate it doesn't play nice with 1.3. Got the infamous blackout. Thought I bricked again but soon after the phone-PC image appeared and I knew there was hope.
Used the JIG and ODIN3 1.8
to flash stock and reflashed my ROM.
Looking for an alternative to Continuum. seems to get laggy after a week or so. With an SGS 2 on the way I may go back to Froyo on this one or COG beta 5

Are you sure? Read AdamOutler's thread on the one click unbrick. Its possible you trashed a different file that is causing the black screen.

Very nice talking to you and thanks for following up on your thread as many people do not...

I tried the one click unbrick. Adam is doing some awesome work there. It will help a lot of people. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.
I looked at the flashing order and traced to where my flash failed. I only flashed one bootloader. A gingerbread/eclair mix doesn't boot, Haha.
It was also a pleasure talking to you as well. I've also decided one thing, I'm ditching this Atrix when my Captivate is fixed. It's a really awesome phone but I can't stand not having an AMOLED. Looks like I'll be waiting on the Galaxy S II to make it over.

It may sound silly, but i encountered the same problem today.
Disconnected my usb when working with odin and got permanently bricked.
Phone did not turn on, no indicator of charging, freaked out..
All i did was kept my mobile for charging for 20 mins even though it did not display that battery bar, disconnected from power supply, took out sim, ext sd, and removed the battery for 1 min and put it back and tried out the two button download mode, and done, my phone went into download mode, and then recovered everything back..
I know it sounds silly, but maybe of some help...

[Q] OB won't turn on.

Hello guys. My phone won't turn on, at all. Just black screen. I tried two different batteries, I tried to connect it to pc (I can't see s/w upgrade mode, so I can't reflash it), nothing happening. I was running CyanogenMod7 RC, and I just turned off my phone (holding power button, and selected power off). Please help.

Sorry to hear that but you know it happened the same thing to me. Using it at midnight, turning it off and charging and 10 hours later it couldn't react to anything. I sent it to repair and 3 weeks later LG sent it back : they say that motherboard was dead and they change it.

Really? Damn. My phone was rooted, and I am not sure do I still have warranthy. How much will it cost in the service center to repair it?

Hum... it cost me nothing (since the phone couldn't turn on they couldn't see that the phone was not with stock rom lol) because it was on warranty. But the 3 weeks waiting was toooo long lol.
EDIT : But try again to turn in on, I tried everything during more than a day, to be sure. ;-)

So is this really motherboard? Cuz I didn't do anything, just turned it off. Damn you LG.

I already tried; No luck. It just look like a piece of metal, no reaction at all. I tried two different batteries, but as far as I remember P970 can work even without batteries when it's connected to the charger.

Yeah I didn't understand why mine died also. Just charging after turning it off. But this new one seems to not have any problem... for now. What really pissed me off were the 3 weeks waiting for it. I hope you'll don't have to wait that long.

And yeah BTW I don't know if this matter, but I did partiotion from Recovery Menu, and used swapper before this happened.

Ok, now I know what the problem was. It's all swapper 2 fault. Somehow it managed to destroy boot sector. Oh well, it's also my fault, shoud've do appropriete reading before using this app. And why did I even need SWAP in the first place? Hello service center...

last chance(my)

Hi
Is there anyway back for a hard bricked Galaxy Note mobile...ie. wont turn on, wont go to recovery and wont go to download mod.
oh and the computer wont recognise it. :crying::crying:
thanks

It might be useful to tell us how exactly you bricked it. What software you were running, what you were trying to accomplish and other pieces of information like that...

As mentioned on other post last hope is JIG only in situation you are having.

The rom that was on the phone i think was kingdroid-ics-notemania-edition
The rom i was installing was paranoid-note-v01
The kernal was franco.kernal-r5
It just stopped in the middle of install and switched off.
The problem is I bought it of ebay about 4 months ago so have no proof of purchase.
If i took it to samsung service would they repair if I was willing to pay.
regards

Why you not taking chance first with jig, now just buy jig, if that will bring you to download mode then still chance to put life to ur device is there, if that won't work then last chance is ssc.

Best regards and many thanks

Yes there may b chance they can repair even without cost, b'oz i still won't say it is bricked.
This may b soft brick.
Just you need is download mode, n i think you have mess up bootloader.

I've read your previous post. Seems like you had flash a lot, at least 10 flashes right? Had you ever reset your flash count? Like using Triangle away?
I don't know if the centre can reboot to system, but even by using USB JIG, you can reach download mode, which will show flash count and device status(official or custom).
But if only they can get to download mode. So lets hope they wont.
Good luck.

Not sure if all device will reset the count when using Jig, but it didn't on s3 mini, s4, and galaxy grand duos. I have 1, home made, tried on those phone. It work, just didn't reset the bin count. But maybe its different from the phone centres Jig. Lets hope your board totally fried.

Sure it can, thats the only thing it can do actually.
If the centre can wake your phone, I believe jig would work in it. Lucky you.

AFAIK it will works, as long the resistor is in the phone range(mine is 300ohm) it'll work on s3 mini. Take you straight to Download mode.
