It's not a hard brick -_- if your phone shows any kind of activity, be it even battery charging animation when it's off.
Try to get a USB Jig, that'll take you to download mode and then flash anything via Odin.

if it is a Hard brick JTAG could be helpful. Also try to contact AdamOutler http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1236273 He is develpoing a SDCard Recovery for hardbrick devices.
He need a device for it, and if he get it in time it will help you.

No .. my phone didn't show any kind of activity
no light .. no charging animation .. nothing at all

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/explaining-and-advancing-the-unbrickable-mod/
Hard Brick-The device is unresponsive and will not enumerate USB, a hardware based solution is the only method which will recover this type of brick
Soft Brick -The device shows something on the screen or possibly nothing at all, firmware download is possible because this is a “Download Mode”.
UnBrickable-The device has been modified to accept a debug-mode flash which cannot be altered.
Lucky Brick- The device ends up in UnBrickable debug mode and the Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector can be used without a hardware modification to resurrect the device.

^ oK , good
any help ?

What kind of help are you expecting ? Tho it's obviously not what you want to hear, it doesn't sound like it's a firmware issue that might mean it's (relatively) easily fixable.
If its under warranty, send it in to Samsung/authorised repairer & hope they don't care or don't notice you've been running non-stock firmware on the phone. You never know, they might fix it under warranty. If they won't, then you can look at having it JTAG'd or repaired locally by a 3rd party repairer given that will probably be cheaper than having Samsung/authorised repairer fix it if they do decide to charge you.
Anything anyone here tells you to try is just delaying having your phone fixed/depriving you of your phone for as long as you delay having it fixed.

i mean i need to make sure there still a hope !
based on a previews experience .. anyone saw this problem before ?
also it's the first time to know about the Hard brick
based on what i said , is my phone having a hard brick ?
so , it will be a software problem or something like that ?

Try this ^^ CLICKY
can't hurt by sounds of things :good: :fingers-crossed:

The repairing shop told me that the mother board burned !

[Q] device doesnt shut down , keeps restarting

my device doesnt shut down , it keeps restarting everytime i try to shut it down .
if the battery is dead , it shuts down . but not when i want to .
For eg. i cannot go to recovery or download mode at all .
please help
Well apart from reading al the exact same question posts i would A factory reset B if that fails flash a stock rom or return to service centre for warranty .
jje
Or C clean your usb port.
Or D) provide some more info on what method you use to shutdown, what rom and kernel you have, is CWM installed, etc.
In the CWM app you can chose what method to use for rebooting, f.e. into recovery or in download mode.

Hold on, so your friends battery works, but yours doesn't? Just buy a new battery, for gods sake. Thinking it was an internal error. Use your friends battery, unroot your phone or whatever you want to do...

[Q] ): Can't upgrade using Download mode and more

Hi guys ! First of all , I'm sorry for being a noob ,as this is just my 2nd android phone ...
So,my problem is that after an upgrade(android 2.3.7 MIUI interface beta2) I get spammed with errors after I boot(all I can do is "Force Close" them) ...
-I can't enter Recovery Mode(freezes ,I had this problem on all my other android versions except CMs)
-When I try to upgrade my OS using download mode+RUT v1.1.4 I wait for it to finish but after it finishes and I take out the battery(to exit DL mode) and reboot,nothing is changed (same OS,same errors)
Things I Tried
-Hard Reset(done it 3-4 times,no luck)
-Take out the battery and restart the phone
-Restarting it several times(30 times or so)
-Removing SD card / SIM card
Phone : Orange Boston
Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks

Sounds like a hard brick to me, if it wont come on at all and you tried all possible ways then your phone is done, I would sell the phone on ebay for parts and use the money towards a new phone.

You are not in '****'..if you still can enter on the start up to fastboot mode, then u can flaash it through KDZ..dont worry u can rescue your phone..
Sometimes it happened to me when battery was low or batt stats use wrong parameters, then I wasnt able to enter to the recovery and did stack with bootloop..

You have two options
-buy jtag
-give phone to LG and tell them it happenes while updating to 2.3

Charge the battery alternately
Try charging your O1's battery using other means. Like borrowing another O1 and charging your O1's battery using that. Then see whether your phone is responding in any way. If it is, I'm sure KDZ will help. Also see whether the USB port can be fixed. Otherwise, you'll be taking great risks again. All the best.

i used my friend's charger and it seems to get heating (i think it is charging)
but the screen remains black and doesnt power on
Are you (at least) still under warranty ?
if YES, go to LG and try to convince them that was an accident (during an update)...
or just try another battery of your friends, the KDZ method worked for me too .

[Q] Bootloop after 5 second

Hi,
Yesterday my phone was working fine, today ... It bootloop after 5seconds, even if i start it in download mode, i feel like the "Start" button is stuck, but i prefer to ask first. i tried to get a log from adb logcat, but the phone isn't recognised in 5sec so i have nothing.
EDIT: The phone is comming back from support because of the motherboard "suddent death", they replaced it with a same new one.
Known problem ? Any idea ? :x
Firmware version ????
Read the sudden death syndrome post in general .
recovery ???

Thanks for the answer
As it reboot after 5second i can't even go in recovery mode,
I don't remember the firmware version, but it's the stock one.
I'm gonna read (again) the post about sudden death
seems like the power button is stuck.

I add that it also could be this:
rootSU said:
2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery. It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.
One problem Half SDS has is that the information download mode uses to show the status as "Official" appears to be wiped out by the bug, leaving your status as "Custom". This can leave you in a precarious position as this is what Samsung uses to establish warranty validity. You may also see your product field is blank.
Please help me maintain this list by identifying fixes as and when released, Please post the Link and Version number of anything with this fix implemented
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But i can't really go into download mode so ... i still think it's simply the button wich is stuck :x
LAST EDIT:
Ok, so after 10min connected to usb (and looping) it suddently ... stopped to loop... and just i started it normaly ...
but
exactly now, when i'm writing this, the phone just restarted and went back to 'loopboot' mode
BUT
when i'm about to send the message ... it stoped to loop and i'm starting it normaly ... >_<
Ok, now 10 minutes it started normaly, 98% percent charge.
No sim inserted,no SD card, if i try to open the parameters, it open for 1/2 second then close and send me back to main menu.
Every other app seems to work normaly. (Text, internet, file explorer).
I'm going to wait a bit more then try to insert SIM and SD and reboot.
EDIT: Trying to open any "Parameter" related thing bring me back to main menu (as "Connected as" or long press the Wi-Fi etc ...).
I can activate wifi and it works ... it seems it's only the GUI xD (Maybe it's normal while not having SIM card, i never tried to run my phone without one :x )
definitely hardware buttons issue.
Ok, so after this it worked like a charm for few days, and now, bootloop again \o/
It seems to happend when the phone is down because of low batery :/
I opened it, and removed the "power" button ... still the same. it seems it's not comming from there :/
Any idea ? :x
3h it bootloops
Any idea please ?
The phone is comming back from support

Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S9+

Hi , so I installed the SupriorOS ROM that a guy posted on S9 forums a few weeks ago , and seems like my phone is hard bricked now (I know that rom was fake, I don't need any comments related to this) , I can't boot to system , can't boot to recovery mode , can't boot to DOWNLOAD MODE , any idea if there is a way to fix the device? after digging the google I found out that I may fix it with a USB JIG (which should force download mode) but i'm doubted it would work on S9+ , any idea if there is another way to fix it?

I was at hard brick as you some times before...
I dont think this would work for every case, but I will share my method. I freezed it in Refrigerator for several hours so battery connection would be gone... then I was able to go to download mode after charging...

Yes, nothing happens till I release the buttons , and then the boot animation logo comes up , if you knew what I installed , you probably knew that nothing really works, I could once force download mode via after dirty flash THE SAME ROM and it actually worked, this time I flashed the rom after formatting my whole data (expected from it to work this time) but since adb is turned off now , I can't force download mode via adb again, any idea if a USB JIG would work for S9+ with an adapter?
An update : A USB JIG with an adapter didn't work , please tell me there is a way to fix it
I don't know the direct answer to your question. But please do not try to freeze your device. People who do that are not very bright. Ranging from battery damage. To high humidity. It is not good. The contraction and expansion can damage the seals. If you need to fully cut the power. Remove the back. And disconnect the battery properly not this half assed crap
So no fix I guess? Just get a new phone?
