You can't even get into dl mode? You might have to jig if you have battery...

Same problem.
I used Odin3 v1.81 and it seemed to do it's thing as expected. But when it rebooted, it never turned back on. Now I can't get it to do anything. Can't get to download mode to try again.
Freaking out a little.
Try odin 1.7

Same problem, I'm afraid. Can't get to download mode to use 1.7. Can't speak for iynfynity, but I'm starting to wonder if the hardware isn't just dead. This is for my wife's new handset. The radio stopped working and she just got this one today (refurbished, I believe).
Did u try all pulling the battery plug usb hold volume rocker up n down plug the battery while still holdin the rocker?

I did. Still no indication of life of any kind. I was hoping there was some other method of reviving it but I think it is truly bricked.
Eshwonok. So what happen to your phone from the beggining?

Try making a jig
as he described, phone wont power up -> hard bricked. JIG wont help
Call Samsung (not Tmobile) and send it in for FREE repair even if you got ur phone from Craiglist (my phone is from Craiglist, no receipt, no box)
The phone is being replaced as defective. I just hope the fact that it's been rooted doesn't become a hindrance. Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Hopefully they don't pull a logcat and charge you lol

Oh ya its happened before to me and other ppl so it would have been well worth a try.
Kind of a loss here. I have a At&T Galaxy note that I rooted and put clock work recovery mod on.
I accidentally downloaded a rom for the SGH-I777 not 717, and tried to flash in CWM. Now my phone wont even power on. Am I totally screwed?
Can you get into download mode or cwm from the powered off state?

Yea I agree with him if you can get into download mode you can odin to stock reroot and get cmr and install custom rom

The answer to everything is not 'get a replacement'. The guy above asking if download mode is accessible is spot on.
Provided you can get in there, reflashing a stock package for the i717 isn't impossible and should restore full functionality.
Best of luck
You can always try the Samsung Jig, it still works on my Note.
All im saying is if it won't turn on how can he get in DL mode? That doesn't make sense. Some say jigs work and some say they don't..

Download mode is not only if the phone powers on.
there maybe other things going on. the DL mode is a completely valid question. and i hope that he can.
a jig may work as well, i had luck with home made jigs from resiters. with about the 301 of resistance. but that was not for the note.

The response from above is a legit one....just because you cannot turn screen on dosent mean you cannot enter download mode.....try wont hurt any thing..juat out of curiosity hold the power button down for like 20 seconds, will it vibrate?

I need help I flashed my phone with I777 firmware and there's no life on the phone is this how easy my phone can go the painfully thing is that I'm in Nigeria I have a usb jig will try it wen I find it jtag I don't know were it can be done in Nigeria God please help me out of this
Yeah you wanted an i717 ROM instead if you can't get into recovery or download mode you have a hard brick and JTAG is really your only option. If you have access to a computer try Odin or kies as a last resort but I'm pretty sure your bricked sorry.

Did you read all the posts in the thread?
Can you get in in download mode? (hold volume down and press power)
If can not get in download mode, No one can save you here. The usb jig is your only hope you have. Or send it out to get repaired.
If you flash the wrong rom your phone needs JTAG service. You can send it from Nigeria using DHL and pre-pay the JTAG guy at www.mobiletechvideos.com. The JTAG is $50 but I don't know the shipping cost.

Hi!
I have the samsung galaxy note i717, a few days ago the phone shutted down by itself while i wasn't ussing it, it read online that it was too much apps. i did the soft and hard reset and i had the same issue, so i read the next step was a factory reset. so i did it, and wipe the cache. after that, the phone started to reboot/restart by itself while i wasn't using it or wasn't charging... i did the factory reset, reboot it and even reinstalled it the firmware again on kias, but, the problem keep happening. today i left it charging for a long time and the phone won't turn on, it doesn't even show the battery logo, no download mode, no safe mode, no reset mode... and i think it is hard bricked. i read about jtag, changing the motherboard, or use a jig... i want to know what u guys think about this... i bought it on ebay and i would have to return the phone otherwise, so i'm trying to fix it by myself...

JTAG is for a phone with the rom from another phone flashed to it. You can't enter recovery and Odin doesn't recognize it. It is the only way to bypass the boot and flash the correct rom.
Jig is for phones that won't go into recovery by software or buttons.
I think you have a battery issue. Trade with someone, then you will probably need the jig ($3.00 from ebay) to get into recovery.
well guys thanks a lot! but, i took it somewhere and the dude changed the battery nothing hapened and he told me i should just return it and i did. i loved that cellphone!
Hi everybody.
I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.
I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.
So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.
Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...

I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.
I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.

It is hard to autocorrect sometimes
I was trying to do an odin factory restore, everything looked as if it went ok. Green pass and all but no reboot on the phone. Im getting NOT a single thing from the device (no led, no screen, no downloading menu) but when plugged into the PC it recognizes something being connected and sounds off but odin won't find it either. These are the directions I followed http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=237
after flashing I noticed up on the title it says SPH-I545 but it says for verizon. Any help would be appreciated. The battery should be about 60%.
Also possible first hard brick (sch-i545)

Yes, I have been trying everything for hours now. I know this is only my second post, but Ive been doing this since the beginning. I have always received the help I needed via these forums, but clearly something has happened and I've soft bricked on many a droid phone and always found my way to a solution, but no lights, no vibration, yet when plugged into a computer, just as the first post mentions....it can tell a device was plugged in, but driver installation fails. I'm almost certain I hard bricked it and I'm very upset. I have an insurance policy that covers absolutely anything with a brand new device, but I have never filed a claim and can't afford to wait. I really messed up this time.....

Brand new several months old from Verizon Dealer. I never had a problem, worked like a charm always. Do you think there is a trick to get these bad boys operational again? All we need is for them to turn on and we can do the rest. I am so ticked off right now...

I hope so. Tomorrow I'm going to delete the drivers and see what happens. I read somewhere to disconnect from PC pull out battery, hold both volume buttons down insert battery then plug it into the PC while still holding the two buttons. That didn't work for me though

If you can not get into odinmode (download mode) or recovery, sounds like you are hard bricked and out of luck.
If you CAN get into odin mode, are you on Mdk or me7? Can use this method then. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259
Only other suggestion is to get the "kies" software and do an emergency update from there if it can recognize the device correctly.
From past experience when i bricked a previous smartphone, the end result was my computer would beep and recognize something was connecting, but never add it to devices would contiously beep on and off if i unplugged and plugged back in, and phone would not boot into any mode.
Damn. Thanks for the info.

States right at the bottom no jig will fix a hard bricked phone which is what it sounds like he has unfortunately. Pretty sure the only way to fix a hard bricked phone is jtag.

Yes and no haha. sometimes your pc will still make noise when you plug it in. Op google heimdall and give that a shot thats about the only thing I can think of. Never had to resort to it so cant confirm whether it works or not but its not like you have anything to lose at this point.

Like i said i havent used it personally only read about it but from what i read you dont have to be in download mode for heimdall. You can use it to flash the original bootloader and if it takes I think youll be able to then go into download mode and revive your phone.
