ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file

Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.

USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I have unbricked all my brickeds phones, I think there's always a solution for unbricking it, but if I can't I will take it to SSC

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...

I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?

Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?

[Q] Phone, Exclamation Triangle, PC - No Download mode

I'm really sorry, I searched for solutions but didnt found one that fits my problem.
I'm a total newbie and ****ed up my phone in many ways. I started trying to install something it wasnt suposed to work on my phone (rom destinated to 9000 and stuff). I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000b (sold to latin amarica) and came from factory with android 2.2.
I'm now stuck with the black screen of death, no matter what I do I get this screen. It hapened after I tryied to install unsucessfully the original rom of the phone and odin presented me with an error.
Before I try any further I'd like your advices as how to procede regarding my 9000b. Pulling the battery out, putting it in again and holding either vol down or both volumes and either pluging the phone on usb or pressing power allways gives me the same result, the screen with phone exclamation triangle and pc.
So, before I buy a jig cable on ebay that will probably take 3 weeks to get here (Brasil) is there anything else I can try?
Please help me, I'm desperate and I dont want to take it to assistence, it would cost me much money and ruin all my courage in trying to use Roms.
Thanks alot and sorry for the bad english.
so did you have the 3 button combination before this happened ??
have you tried to charge the phone whilst powered off, then when the phone gets hot, try download mode then ? sometimes this works, as heat can help download mode work.
another thing that has worked for SOME people, is leaving the battery out for 10mins, doing the 3 button combo, and whilst holding the 3 buttons, insert the battery.
you could try these and see what happens,
And 3 weeks delivery for the JIG is a long time, couldnt you make one in less that 3 weeks.
If you can't get into download mode, you are screwed until you get your hands on a jig, simple as that. Just wait. Patience is a virtue.
Thanks in advance for the quick reply guys, I ordered the jig, estimated 20 days, usualy it takes the same amount from the central postal ofice to my home since they allways restrict packages from hong kong. I'm considering making one but I'm a total denial in eletronics.
I was able to get to download mode before this problem yes. I would just hold down vol and center key and then power. Now even when I plug it in to charge I get the screen with the exclamation.
Any more sugestions?
no other suggestions other than whats listed above
looks like you will have to wait for the JIG to arrive.
Loner-phone here you come lol
Then I have a couple of questions.
1) Since I plut it in directly on the power and still recive the same screen is the phone still charging? Or once the battery is over I'm ****ed up twice?
2) Is there any chance that the jig wont work or I in some way ****ed up my I-9000b permanently?
3) After I make/get a jig how should I procede? I heard about one-click odin, but apears that its for another model of phone, and since I got on all this trouble exactly for trying to do things to my phone that were suposed to be only for another model, I'm kind of lost.
Inputs?
Thank you all for already awnsering my questions.
1) the system is corrupted so the charging indicator will be too - thus leading to Phone ! PC image - this is the only image the phone can now produce
2) The 'JIG' has a 100% success rate - providing that the motherboard is not fried - which it isnt as it still shows an image
3) the jig is just a modified USB, just plug it into the phone whilst powered off and download mode will appear, and then you just attach your genuine USB cable and flash stock ROM thru ODIN.
azzledazzle Thank you very much for your patience, but since I`m a total newbie to all this, some of your awnsers I didnt understood fully, do you care explain me better?
Regarding question 1) The power indicator is corrupted, ok. But this means if my battery die out of usage it wont charge again or just that the indicator wont show that is charging but the battery actualy is charging?
and for question 3) Is ther any tutorial directed to I-9000 on how to use odin to flash a stock ROM ? like baby steps? After all that I'm even afraid to turn the phone on, so I would like to know exactly what to do. I`m cosindering asking someone with technical skills to help me on a home made jig.
oh im sorry, i get carried away sometimes.
1) i assume the battery will be charging yes. only the phone will not be able to show this due to the corruption.
2) when you have made / bought a JIG (link below) you ideally want to flash a Stock ROM, you can get this from samfirmware (link below) and also on this site is a tutorial on how to use ODIN, its fairly easy if you just read the instructions provided.
JIG: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551&page=3
Firmwares : www.samfirmware.com
ODIN download and guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Its a miracle, somehow I managed to get into download mode. But I'm still a bit insecure
Here is the deal, I dowloaded a .tar file that alledgedly from my carrier and for my country. The tar is named JPA_JP3_JPA.
Inside the file there are cache.rfs factoryfs.rfs modem.bin param.lfs zimage
But what should I put where on ODIN if I only have PIT PDA PHONE and CSC?
And how can I discover if I should use pit 512 or 803?
Should I consider a master clear setting?
the file you downloaded is a full firmware compressed into 1 .tar file.
so in odin load the .tar file into PDA section and THATS IT !!
DO NOT USE PIT WITH THIS FILE.
press start and enjoy
PS do a factory reset after the flash

Hello all!
I've got my hands on a GT-I9000 today.
It's got 2.3.3 Android on it.
Wanting to install CM7, I was first of all trying to root it.
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8, thus I downloaded heimdall-frontend and the "Hardcore's SpeedMod kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery".
When I put my phone into DL Mode and connect it to my Mac, I can't write the image to it.
Heimdall is failing with "Failed to receive device info response!"
What do you ppl suggest me to do now?
Thanks,
F.

Indeed I now managed to get Windows XP PC.
one trouble still remains: after rooting the device remains in an infinite reboot loop!!!
It only stops when WiFi is disabled.
Any help bout this?
Or at least any means to get back to a factory ROM?
I got 2.3.3 before flashing...
Thanks!
Try to flash the nightly again, should solve the bootloop-issue.
Or you can wipe cache/dalvik cache, this helped me too.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy s

I think that i may of fully bricked my Galaxy s
I cant get into download mode or recovery
I have tried getting into download mode with a usb jig
Also my phone wont even turn on
Is there anything that i can do to make my galaxy s i9000 work again
I DONT want to have to get it repaired
hi dude did u tried to charge the battery
---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
if u did use jtag usb to active download mode and flash u re phone using odin
try to flash u re phone using a laptob if it s possible
hope u re phone wake up
Galaxy s
I have tried charging the battery and it didnt work
Tryed getting into download mode by using 3 button combo and a usb jig
I cannot flash with odin because i cannot get odin to recognize my phone due to the fact that it cant get into download mode
Cheers for ur help so far
Try getting a charged battery from someone else? maybe your battery is flat
Galaxy s
tried using a fully charged battery and it still didnt work
how did you do that? I mean, I thought it was nearly impossible to hard brick an Android Smartphone..
What did you try to do? More details would help pinpoint the issue properly.
i done all of this by updating my galaxy s by odin i then accidentilly removed the cable and now my phone is fully bricked. Samsung just say that it is impossible to brick it. They just speak a load of bull****
From what he said on YouTube:
He pulled the wire, accidentally, whilst he was on ODIN flashing back to stock rom...
I have suggested:
-Getting battery out + 3 button combo
-Trying to get into download mode
-Trying a JIG (which he got)
-Trying to get into recovery
I've run out of things to suggest...if anyone else knows more, then please post it for him :/
I'm just surprised the JIG doesn't work.
Which firmware did you flash? Did they have bootloaders?
@dhiru1602 i want to know if there is any methods that u know of that could help me get into download mode or just getting my phone working. I cannot do anything with my phone. I am thinking of sending it in for repair but that will only happen if there is no way of getting my phone to work
@dhiru1602 i flash back to jpx
Cheers totallydubbed for ur help so far
Can u check ur inbox on youtube plz
Answer these questions.
Which firmware were you on?
Which firmware did you flash?
When did the flashing stop? At the very start or sometime during the process?
Are you sure your battery has some charge?
It might be possible that the phone functions but display isn't coming. Have you tried the key combination and checking if the computer recognizes the phone?
Galaxy s
1. i was on Jp6(Froyo)
2. I flashed Jpx
3. The flashing stopped about half way during the process
4. Yes the battery is fully charged
5. How do u do the key combination to see if odin recognizes it ( if u mean the three button combo to get into download mode then Yes)
If the phone is being recognized by the computer then why dont you try a reflash?
Galaxy s
the problem is that i cant get my phone to be recognized by the computer
Repair
I have finally given in so I decided to send it in for repair. Thanks for it help anyway

well good luck my man.
Remember flashing is a learning curve, don't take it as bad or anything. it happens to everyone once in a while.
Just remember when in download mode you do not want to do the following:
-Disconnect it
-Have a power cut
USUALLY, a JIG solves issues, even if you had the above two - in your case it didn't
The only thing that I could think of is the bootloader getting corrupt due to which the Download Mode doesn't work.
Brand new phone
I have just got my phone back which was great. it wasnt covered by manufacture warranty but they still done it for free. However they couldnt fix the phone so they gave me a brand new Galaxy s!
Cheers for ur help anyway though

Samsung Galaxy S HARD BRICKED

Hello,
I tried to flash back to the stock ROM of Galaxy S and then install a new Jetpack 8.2 custom ROM.
Apparently, since I did a bad search on the internet on finding a stock ROM and pit file, i downloaded a pack from xda with the .pit file pda file phone file and CSC file.
I DONT REMEMBER which it was..i selected all the files from the pack through odin and re-partitioning was ticked (i saw it after the flash finished).
So when the processes was completed waited a bit and since the phone was not responding i pulled it out.
Now that's it.. The screen is black - wont power on - wont go into download mode - wont show battery charge while the USB cable is on - nothing (AND YES THE BATTERY IF FULLY CHARGED).
Is there anything i can do to fix it?
p.s: havent tried a usb jig but from searches i made on the internet and on xda forums ppl said it will prolly not work. are there any instruction on how to make one (link would be appriciated)?
Thanks in advance
Best option would be to try a Jig (you can buy one on ebay or dealextreme) and see if you can go into DL mode. Sometime the button combination for Download mode changes depending on the firmware. Try pressing the middle of the volume rocker and power at the same time.
If not wait for a Jib or build yourself one. There should be instruction in this forum on how to build one.
if the jig doesn't work, i would try and return it to the store you got it. I know its a long shot, but the same thing happened to me and I brought it back and she just gave me a new phone! Its worth a shot!

Worth a try. Just tell them it suddenly stopped working and you have no idea what's wrong. It's not like they can power it on and see that you failed flashing it or something. and even if they use a jig they can only get to download mode and reflash it...
even if they say no... a jig costs like $1.5 on eBay. search for "i9000 jig".
Insert if, press the power button and poof, you're in download mode,
the thing is that the phone is not under any warranty or something and the store i got it is far away now !!
JTAG service if you're in the UK: http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/
The JIG won't work when you brick with a black screen (i.e. bootloader corruption, so no boot at all).
Your only solution is to JTAG it or sadlly, throw it away...
I used a I9003 ROM to flash it !!
Maybe there is still a solution?
also from what i've found on forum sometimes the JIG helped ppl who had a black screen to go into download mode. so how can you be so sure? @ Dan_Aykroyd

As long as your bootloader is intact, the jig will get you to the download mode
Wrongly flashed i9000 with i897 rom has been confirmed to work with the jig, but i don't know i9000 with i9003 rom...
Or you can apply the unbrickable mod if your phone's warranty was voided already, if not, send it back to the shop.

Had that also yesterday putting a new ROM on my GS. The process of writing the PDA halted.. Black screen, no way to start it up en no screen indications of charging etc..
I removed it from my USB, Removed the battery a few times did the three way download mode trick several times and finally I got the download mode screen from where I successfully loaded the new ROM.
So try a few times.. even when you get a black screen !!
let me be clear once more..i downloaded a complete I9003 rom pack from xda... some guy posted..i just missed that it was I9003 and not I9000..
and on odin re-partition was clicked..but the process was completed successfully even thou after that the phone wont start or go into download mode :/
i used not only PDA and PIT files but 2 more was included as well :/ so what i am asking is if this could really have damaged the bootloader or not

Of course you're bound to brick it flashing a firmware for a phone completely different to yours...get a jig if you're confident or take it to a service centre

Try jig first.
Next try JTAG or UNBRICKABLE mod.
Then Try a service centre.
in case it wokes up.. anyone has links for stock rom and pit to flash with odin?
thanks again
There are some ways, when already got into DL mode is best to reflash with 812.pit file and then again with 512.pit file. After I bricked my phone and got "death" screen (God I was crying) I found way of taking up DL mode (hopefully SGS is pretty-hard to brick). Others than that try to connect to your phone via usb (remember to first inset usb and then battery) and hold ALL of the buttons on your phone. Screen must flash about 3 times and then release volUp to get DL mode combo. I hope that will help you as me.

[Q] Need Help with Galaxy I9000 Brick Issue very strange

Dear fellows,
I need your help. My colleague has some how bricked his Galaxy I9000 device. As per discussion he said he tried to upgrade the rom and accidently the rom he selected for flash via odine was for I9003 which is a variant of Galaxy S line of product.
Now what happened is the phone is completely dead no download mode nothing its all dead. I prepared a USB Jig and plugged in and followed our expert's guidelines but still no success. The device is still dead. One hunch of mine was drained battery and I put it on charging and observed the back (camera side) was slightly heating up when i checked after couple of hour of charging but the situation remained the same.
Any suggestion to recover this device and what has happened to the device? Is the samsung phone are so fragile? Im personally using Xperia X10i and never faced such problem even bricked its all recoverable via software workarounds.
Please suggest
Thanks Faisal
well i dont know if this will help but ill give it a try. when you plug the phone into the computer does the computer recognize the device? if it does see if it recognizes in odin. if thats all good in odin (gives you a port number) then to flash these files http://www.mediafire.com/?34oxweahfpy53dj
just un rar and follow readme. this may not work for you but a while back i hd a simular problem and this is how i fixed it so try it see if it works. If it does hit thanks.
ps this has also worked on different devices with simular problems but i did it with different files(the ones meant for the proper device form samfirmware.com)
Good Luck!
try option bootloader flash in odin, if you flash a firmware package.
should be recoverable for sure
last resort would be Unbrickable mod
the files i posted will flash bootloaders at the sme time. At least thats what i think the sbl file that it flashes is
How can he flash via odin when he can't even get into download mode??

well if you read what i posted i clearly said that i had simular problems, meaning ive been to the point where i couldnt get into dl mode or recovery and that is how i fixed it. heres a example; start to flash via odin and unplug while its flashing. Then try to go into dl mode or recovery. You cant! it scared the crap out of me, so i didnt give up and all i had to do is plug it into the computer and i recognized it in odin. so i flashed and there i had it it was fixed
Thanks for responses
Hi Guys,
thanks for responses but when the device is plugged with PC no activity at all. Fully dead
My colleague acquired repair services and recovered the phone because I dont have JTAG/RIFF with me.
Unbrickable mod was hard to try specially modification by shorting resistors from device motherboard.
Thanks

I didnt understand your messege. Whats a JTAG/RIFF. Should I try the USB Jig on mine?
I hard bricked a SGS I9000B and its not even mine, I mean it wont turn on, wont light up the screen, wont give any working sign, when battery is inserted for a long time the phone warms up. 3 buttons wont work, sliding the battery in and pressing 3 buttons also wont work. Should I try the USB JIG?

[Q] Hardbricked? Any way out of here?

Hi guys,
I'm in a problem with my GNote... I am (or was) running Android 4.0.4 stock from Samsung, then today completely out of the blue the phone froze and I had to reset, then it was stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note logo screen. I tried removing the SIM and SD card, etc but nothing. Then I tried reinstalling the ROM via Odin but it got stuck in "Writing NAND...". Then I read in a forum that I could try a repartitioning with the PIT for my memory size (16 GB). I tried this but it got disconnected in the middle (the cable connector is a bit unstable) and now I can't get it to boot ANYTHING. The screen is completely black and Odin doesn't recognize the phone, can't get into recovery mode, etc.
Any idea? My tel company told me that it has a little marking that looks like the phone was hit and so they can't accept it for warranty tech service. I will try Samsung Service Center directly but before that, is there anything I can do???
Thanks!!

Is it starting up? If note just remove ur battery for around 10 mnts, then insert that try pressing vol down + power + home for 20 seconds and then press vol +, just check if ur pc could detect the device and also if the battery is enough charged.
If this detects ur device, u have chances or else only jig is the option.
Hope 4 the best
Press THANKS if this helped u :fingers-crossed:
I don't think even jig is an option now... the phone screen is completely black, it doesn't even get into the logo screen... going to Samsung right now.
jig mite help you.. cuz even when the phone doesnt boot up .. the jig mite force it to download mode.. check with that.. if not then get it to the samsung service.. how did u reset... were u rooted? stuck on NAND write is not a good sign

Why not?
The Jig costs 2-3 US$ from Ebay, China...
Give it a try, its simple:
- remove battery
- put the Jig in
- wait a bit and put the battery back
- wait, pull battery out, pull Jig out
- connect the phone via USB to your PC, put battery back and start Odin
And if you are a lucky man you can flash a new firmware via Odin.
If you have an corrupt bootloader, Jig helps.
If there is a hardware problem you need a new maniboard.
How you described your Note there is possible only a corrupted bootloader ( Jig ) or a dead mainboard ( Samsung repair ).
Hmmm I'd say there is some serious problem. Originally (yesterday) my Note was working OK and then spontaneously (I didn't do anything or bump it or anything like that, I was just writing an email) it froze and so I used the reset combination (power+home buttons), then it entered into boot loop, it started and when it got to the Galaxy Note logo it rebooted, it did this 2 or 3 times and then it was stuck in Note logo. I took out the battery, put it back in, the same. I waited 10 minutes with the battery out, again the same results.
But I could get into recovery mode, so I tried re-flashing my ROM (LRQ Samsung stock from Germany, this was the only flash I did in my Note since last year when I bought it, I had 2.3.6 and then last month I updated to 4.0.4 via Kies official download and then using Odin I flashed the LRQ Samsung 4.0.4 stock because it has new features like the 3D gallery) but it got to "Writing NAND..." or something like that. I tried this several times and it was always the same.
So I read somewhere that I could try repartitioning the memory using Odin and the PIT file for my memory size (16GB), I tried this but just when I was in the process, the USB connector (which is a bit loose in my Note) disconnected for a second and reconnected and it was all. Phone dead. I'm guessing there's nothing there in the memory to boot from or to... so I'm taking it to Samsung.

bro Chaostar
your Gnote is totally got a called ( brick ) same my gnote but it is revive via repartition.. with 2GB loss
first you do is make sure your battery is full charge and forced your Gnote into DOWNLOAD MODE.....
how to forced to download mode?
1 press home button + volume down then press power button,, if result is not lucky...... go to second way
2 use jig for download mode
(a) remove batt,,
(b) then attach the jig to usb port
(c) then put back the batt,,, then wait almost 60second
(d) after 60sec, remove jig then press volume up,..... one press only.... it shown black screen but the system status is download mode.
(e) open odin pc, connect your Gnote,,, see and wait.. if you see your gnote is detected,,,, your welcome you have a chance.. then flash kernel only ( safe_CM9_kernel.tar) then reboot to recovery then flash the JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.20 or follow the repartition procedure,,
( f) what if not detected?.......... don't worry..:highfive: i have last option for you... this is revive your Gnote via (JTAG)..
GUDLUCK and see you..
Well I already left my Note in my cell company, it is within warranty period and I hope they can fix it. The only problem is that it has a slight marking that looks like a bump on the side and they said that this could void the warranty, but they will give me a budget if it has to be paid for, I hope they don't have to change the whole mainboard, and if they want to charge me I'll take it to Samsung directly as a last chance. After that, I guess it's jig.
What really gets to me is that this started as a sort of spontaneous error, I didn't do anything to the phone before the initial freezing and unability to boot. The problem is that then I tried the PIT stuff. Well, let's see what happens.
Thanks for your suggestions!!
