my phone doesn't turn on. the screen is completely dead. i will try odin though. but what do i do if my phone is completely dead? i heard of oneclickunbrick but im new to linux and i have no clue how to run it. what else can i try?

Well oneclickunbrick will run in Windows also, it would take your phone to download mode so you can go on with Odin
Otherwise if that doesn't work I think you'll need to go to repair service

[Q]How to unbrick?

OK guys!
yesterday i cooked a ROM with dsixda's Android Kitchen.I also checked the updateR-script file to prevent any damage.
but the problem is :
ROM was flashed successfully and every single function worked. I just turned my phone off and it doesn't boot any more.
Any suggestions?
Is that a BRICK?
Thank you all in advance!:crying:

Can you get into Download/Recovery Mode? and what is it doing? Just black or showing the bootanimation? And btw you should have posted that in the q&a thread!

Try connect phone to charger and we will see.

thank you!
first i knew this should have been posted in Q&A but thought you guys can help me more.
my phone is showing a black screen and no response.
I just dont know what the hell has happened to this. It was working fine but ... you know the story!
I dont know if its a hard brick either. cuz nothing (just nothing) happened to the phone. No wrong flashing,ROM manager,...
just wanted to know what the should i do with this thing:crying::crying::crying:

You don't have flashed any kernel that's not for the i9001 right? If you have done that it's hard bricked. if not it's rescue-able

So, does download mode work or not?

1.I haven't flashed any incorrect kernel
2.I can't boot the phone anyway.
Told you guys
dunno what the hell is wrong with this!
just after flashing my cooked ROM I shut the device down and thats all!
I don't think this is called a Brick but anyway I can't fix it

If you cant boot phone anyway, that's Hard Brick...

i know that isn't the best thing i've ever said but you're sure that the battery isn't dead ?? it may happens but anyway it's weird ... you could meassure/verify it somehow

AW: [Q]How to unbrick?
Take battery out, wait 30 minutes Start Odin in your pc plug in the USB cable To the phone, press and hold the button Combo for download mode and take in the battery
sometimes this works, our phone is very hard To brick

i verified my battery with a multimeter and it's giving me Voltage.
unfortunately there's no SSC here so I could fix it but battery seems a bit...................weird
maybe it's dead.
I try to buy a new one and try again.
BUT PLEASE GIVE UR FEEDBACK MAYBE I DIDN'T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING.
thank you guys again.
edit:it hasn't been hit since I flashed my Homebrew crappy ROM.

The first advice I can give to you is to take the battery out for overnight then put it back in.

[REQUEST] Debrick.img for S3 mini (GT 8190)

Hi! Can someone make a debrick.img for s3 mini using this command?

I will do a JTAG only if the single way. But then, i need the debrick.img

If you are able to write that image, it means that you can get into download mode.
If you can get the phone into download mode, you don't need a complete memory dump; you can just use a stock firmware to unbrick it.
Can you tell us what you did and what doesn't work?
If you have a bootloop and you can't get into recovery, please check this thread and a lot of other threads on the same topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50434034

As deconectat tried to explain you don't need it. The only thing you need is to get in download mode and try with some of the unbrick guides on this forum.
If you can't get in download mode with combo, jig or jtag, there's no way to fix your phone.

In linked thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525902 99ytrewq9111 requests only first 7 partitions, not whole /dev/block/mmcblk0, which is internal flash (~8GB of data)
It contains /data and /efs partitions. There are private data and IMEI on them

Youre all ****ing morons. The man was asking for a debrick.img to put on a SD card to get his phone into download mode. There are lots of posts on other forums of this working on other samsungs. Maybe you ****wits should learn to read instead of being smart asses. Piskor you referred him to a post on a different model (retard). deconectat you should just STFU because nowhere did he say he wanted to flash the image. (****tard). Clostry you backed up the ****tard.
It is of my firm opinion that the "experts" on here really do not know what they're doing.
pinguluk - I hope you succeeded.

Please, anyone have debrick.img for I8190?
Need this *.img
thx

Please help me unbrick!

Hi guys
So my uncle has asked me to unbrick his phone for him. One day it just wouldn't turn on apparently. When I received it from him, the Samsung logo would pop up, recovery mode was not accessible, but I could get into download mode
I followed this tutorial: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unbrick-restore-samsung-galaxy-note-gt-n7000/
but the flash failed, and now I can get no life from it at all.
In the mean time I am waiting for a JIg to arrive from eBay, but how should I go about fixing it when it does arrive- this seems to be a hard/dead brick.
Thanks, would appreciate any advice!

I did not screenshot anything at the time, but I believe it simply said "flash failed" or something to that effect.
Read somewhere that if I put the battery in a freezer, that would charge it up (to check if the phone is simply out of battery)
This true?

- I don't really see why it matters, that I did not know to record the exact message. The point is the phone isn't turning on and I wanted to know if there is anything I can do - I assume it is because the flash failed but I can't be certain.

If it doesn't matter then I'm sorry I bothered you asking for details.

Bricked Samsung phone

HI,
My Samsung galaxy s III has bricked. I can go to the download mode though. Can I flash a custom rom to recover the phone ? If yes, then please give me the link to the rom which I can flash via odin. Thanks.

Try flashing stock rom from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com
You may need to become a member(it's free) to download. Once you download the rom for your region and device, unzip the file and flash the .tar.md5 file in odin

Does it even go to recovery? Does it even go to download mode? Please post the error in ODIN or the error on the phone screen because the "board is gone" is too little. We are trying to help you but you don't give us enough information.

EMMC Brick Bug takes another phone down. Unfortunately the EMMC is dead. You can try and take it to a specialized repair shop and have the EMMC replaced. But it would probably be very expensive. Download mode works because the SoC actually boots for download mode, EMMC is not accessed. Nand erase all is useless in this case, and Kies doesn't know what to do.

It will work normally, but make sure to take an i9300 motherboard for the normal S3 and an i9305 motherboard for the i9305. And also make sure to not damage anything. And not loose any screw (lost one already and regret it).
The IMEI will be different (if you have the box) but other than that, make sure the motherboard is tested, works 100% and doesn't have any problem.
Don't forget to push the tanks button just in case

how to change IMEI.... i wish to put my old IMEI ( in Box ) any option??

Very tricky, may not work and it could possibly blacklist both the IMEIs. Generally, IMEI copying is done using specialized programmes, but it is not generally both allowed, practical and in some parts, or global, ILLEGAL.
