Hi everyone,
Hopefully I have put this in the right place.
I have a N7000 sitting doing nothing.
I made it not work at all in trying to fix it.
I know alot more now but believe the device soft bricked and in trying to fix ended up using odin, a stock flash and ticked repartition.
So, the ROM install failed and the partitions got wiped.
The device does not show anything on the screen now at all. Believe it charges, as when I plug it in the device gets warm.
Anyways, is there someone near me (sydney, australia) that has a JTAG device which could be used to bring this device back from the dead?
Thanks

Ok, so Monday I had my Galaxy set up with Dorimanx kernel 7.22 dual booting 4.1.2 RR (1st ROM) and SalmanROM V4.2.(2nd ROM). I decided to remove the 2nd ROM and went to dual boot options in Recovery mode to remove it, however the phone got stuck while formatting data. I Restarted the phone in Recovery and was able to do a backup but when trying to access the internal SD card I got the error can't mount emmc/.
After reading a bit here: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) I found that my phone was soft bricked and had NAND rw corruption. I followed the steps but was not able to flash the recovery files or the kernel alone, I was only able to succesfully flash the bootloader but once I did that I tried the kernel again and had no luck. I decided to do it again and flashed the bootloader, Odin displayed it was completed and the phone rebooted, only that this time it didn't turn on.
Now my phone is basically dead, it doesn't turn on, it is not recognized by PC/Odin. I ordered a USB Jig which is supposed to arrive next week to see if that can revive it but looking around the web I'm seeing a guy selling an S2 for basically $100 dlls., the phone turns on you can hear the music when booting, rings when you call, only that the screen stays black. Seeing that my S2 might have a damaged motherboard this could help me fix it for less than what Samsung might charge me (I got the phone used so it doesn't have warranty)
My question is, should I wait for the jig to try and revive the phone? What chances do I have ? or should I get the spare one and replace the motherboard?
Thanks for helping!
USB Jig did not work, I will need a JTAG. Can anyone recommend me a good one? I've seen this one http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-jtag-brick-repair/ seems reliable but I want a second opinion.
I have a SGH-I747M 4.1.1 Galaxy S3.
I used the Unified Toolkit and rooted/installed CWM, backuped and ready for a new ROM.
As I was installing this custom ROM (Pardus HD), and error popped up and it was aborted, (still in the CWM main menu)
but having only the said custom ROM zip file in the internal memory,
I figured I just shut down and download a fresh copy of the ROM.
and put it in an external SD card then power on the phone back into recovery.
Only thing is it wont power on anymore, the screen is just black, plugging in USB and computer just makes connected/disconnected noise.
(Devices say its "Qualcomm HS-USB DQLoader 9008")
Also tried taking out putting in the battery.
(I know my mistake is I never re-installed the backup) I've run out of ideas, please help.
I have a very similar problem. I had my battery checked thinking that could be the problem. My battery shows that is no good. I tried a new one and still nothing. I can't help but think if it were a missing program it would still come on at least. Lucky for me its covered under insurance. I'd still like to know what happened and if I could fix it.
I'd like to know too if I could fix it myself, other than ''the jig'' or a repair service. currenty trying to revive it still
edit: currently trying this Heimdall thing, goodluck to me...
Have you checked the battery? If I wasn't sending mine back on an insurance claim I would take it apart. I have a Motorola that has a fuse next to the battery under the back of the case. Seems dumb, I know but how could changing the rom "short" out my battery. Dumb again I always thought bricking was only being able to bring up recovery.
I think the battery is fine, as CWM was still running after the error.
That's pretty much what happened to me. Maybe we got to the same problem 2 different ways. Hope you get it figured out.
THIS IS GT-I9300 SECTION..
c'mon there was an stickie on top of this section for you..

Your problem is that you flashed a rom for gt-i9300 (International) and you have some U.S. variant of s3. That in most cases bricks the phone.
Probably time for a service center visit.
Hello, today I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 from a friend. I'm not sure how to identify exactly which model, but it's american and doesn't have the oval home(?) button at the bottom.
I've done rooting and flashed roms before onto Samsung phones, and I haven't had this problem.
The phone started off completely stock, no modification whatsoever. Then I downloaded a kernel with clockworkmod on it, and it wouldn't boot again. It would get stuck in the bootloop with the little yellow caution symbol. After trying several other things I was able to flash another kernel onto it, however, something happened in ODIN and it disconnected. Ever since the only thing it does is the blue LED comes on. I cannot access download mode, or the recovery I was going for. When it's turned on it doesn't even have a bootloader.
Thank you very much for the help.
Your problem starts at 'I'm not exactly sure what model it is'. If it has no home button and does have a blue Led, it's most certainly not an i9100. I'm willing to bet you've been flashing the wrong firmwares all along.
Now that your phone disconnected during an Odin flash, it's done for. When you plug it in to the charger, does it get hot? If so, motherboard replacement.

Remove the battery and check the model.
Then go to the device's forum or ask the mods to move it 98% chance this is the wrong place for you.

Firstly, I apologiise if my question has already been covered in another thread, but I didn't find it.
A few months ago, an OTA Samsung update to my English I9300 screwed up and after trying to reboot, it seemed my phone was bricked and wouldn't get past the Samsung logo on startup. I didn't realise at the time that my original USB cable was broken (or I may have been able to fix my S3 with Odin)....so, unhappily, knowing I'd lose all my installed data and apps, I had it repaired under warranty by Samsung, I'd already rooted my S3 long before that, but it still came back from the service centre as good as new, working, albeit missing all my valuable data
Ok, to cut to the chase, last night, about 5 months after having my phone repaired, I took that leap again of rooting it with Odin 3. Now, this is where I'm puzzled.....after starting Odin, and flashing it with "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar" in PDA mode, the box said 'RESET', not 'PASSED', as one would expect.Is there a reason for this? I have since installed a few system root apps such as Titanium Backup, BusyBox, etc and run Triangle Away successfully....all reporting that my S3 is once again rooted; but, what I still can't understand is Odin reporting the flash as 'Reset' instead of 'Passed'. Can one or more of you folk please try to shed some light on this for me.....Thanks in advance

Cheers for that, it's quite a relief it wasn't an error.....just a result I hadn't encountered previous.
Ather reading up a lot of years on xda, and able to fix a lot of things (Thanks!) i finally screwed up
Got a Galaxy S2/gt-i9100 from friend and it got stuck in a bootloop (no special cause, just got into it after a dead battery/reboot), (no recovery, just download mode)
Main problem was with flashing new/custom/stock bootloaders/firmwire/kernels Odin just wouldnt let me finish, and mostly got stuck at Nand write fail. (is this indication that internal memory is screwed, no flashing would work at all, or did i had an option?)
So i took the step to thick the repartition (Firmwire from sammmobile and pit file from droidevelopers) and hoped for the best.. after about 5 minutes i was pretty sure it got stuck again and disconnected tried to reboot and was going to try again..
now a black screen and not responding to anything -_-'
And i would like to know if a USB Jig could get it back into download mode or is the last resort to find a JTAG guy around? (can i verify if memory is really dead somehow?) Or any other options out there?
Unplugging during an Odin flash? That's nasty. 99.9% sure that'll be a new motherboard/jtag sorry. Last chance is to click my signature & look at the part for 'no download mode'... I pretty much guarantee it won't work though :/
