Bricked Galaxy Note - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

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?

If its less than 30 days return it.. That's probly your only option.

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.

Thats what I'm saying. I mean, when I gain download mode my phone is off...stands to reason it could work in this case. I hope it gets rocking again.

my friend i just brick my att note, you said the jig worked on yours?

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?

help
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.

Ouch! ..sounds like a hard brick, you may need to JTAG. Connexion25 does it. You can try download mode via jig. You can go to radio shack and make one or buy a nice tidy one already made.

I thought I had this with my captivate. I found out it still powered on by turning it on in a dark room and noticed a faint glow. Then I was finally able to get it into download mode with a jig and reflashed

What were you trying to load? Unless you were flashing something with bootloaders (WHY????), this should not have happened.

[Q] Will this Jig work for this Phone ?? If not what will ??

I recently purchased this Jig from Ebay and was wondering if anyone has any insight if this particular jig works on this Samsung Galaxy S3 Variant.

Did you try going into download mode by down on the volume pad, home button and power button all together and holding it?
From what I've heard, it should.

Just to clarify things. My phone has a black screen and shows the QHUSB_DLOAD on my computer.
Will the Jig still get my phone into Download mode ???
the video says it resets the flash counter too.. is that right?

I think for the flash counter you need an app called TriangleAway....
The Jig I think would only be good to force your phone into DMode

I was told by many people that the JIG will not work, I tried one and it didnt. I sent my bricked S3 to mobiletechvideos.com. They are the only ones who can fix fully bricked phones.

On the GS3 the jig will only put you in download mode. It will NOT reset the flash counter as it did with earlier Samsung phones.

Try a reset or reflash the rom your using. Ice hasn't been released yet officially for the note so you must be on one of the leaks. Try reflashing

Problem is the phone automatically turns off in 10 secs every time even in download mode. I'll keep trying hopefully it will stick. Thanks for the tip though.

Wow that's a new one in me. I thought read someplace that certain roms react this way if the battery get to low and you have to go into cwm and do a cache wipe I think. Sorry that all I got .

If phone is turning off in download mode I doubt it is the ROM installed. Have you tried swapping batteries?
Also the issue seems to ONLY HAPPEN WHEN MOVING THE PHONE! SO I dont think Its a doftware issue. I tried changing battries same issue. It stayed on all NIGHT last night. Then when I go to touch it this morning it restarts.

How about if you leave the charger plugged in? Hopefully you can get the opportunity to get it restored to stock and have it exchanged under warranty.
Edit: stuck power button maybe?

It does it with charger too. But ONLY really does it while moving it
I CANT get it to even turn on now, It will viberate and show samsung and then shut off
I can get it into download mode for a sec and it will flash and turn off
The power button got mashed a little too hard.
If its store bought, its a warranty issue.
If its Craigslist or ebay you have to pull the whole thing apart and reseat the silver button in the case correctly and reassemble.
I've come across a few phones that have this defect.
Hey Ranger, notice you spend a lot of time in what I call the "trenches" in the Q&A and Gen sections providing assistance and guidance. Where I like to hang out and since I have the Note now...and still providing to the Infuse 4G community...
You seem to be a resourceful individual, sir.
Thanks Ranger!

[Q] hard bricked or what? help plz! :'(

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...
ty :fingers-crossed:

I've kinda seen comments that jtaggn is like pretty efficient but you would have to do alot and jign plug tht thing and c if it will wake it up. Sometimes works and sometimes doesn't depends.how bricked the note is i guess a more direct app is jtaggn

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!

[Q] Bricked Note

I am a noob but a noob who can follow directions well, and I ask you all this. My situation involves a Samsung note from att the sgh-i717 ceramic white i believe is how its is classified on Samsung's site. Now I don't think the phone is completely hard bricked true i cant get into recovery or download modes adb does not see the device however a few drivers will load on my win 7 pc and a driver trys to complete a load but its is as if the system keeps connecting and disconnecting to phone. I really don't wish to send phone off to get jtaged and since you all seem to have a good working knowledge of Samsung tech maybe you could share some insight into my problem. The Qualcomm mmc driver is the driver that will not load correctly. Since some of the drivers load that indicates some form of communication so where do we go from here.
If you follow instructions well how did you get in this situation? No but I'm pretty sure you have to send it away if adb nor your PC is recognizing it. Does it say you need to format a storage?

No need to send away. Ours is one of the few phones with an unbrick tool available

You have to send away to have it jtagged. The tool is a jig not a jtag.

Did follow directions on the attached ota then my phone went into a loop before the Samsung logo so I took it to att and warranty is over and store said sorry got it back from att and realized what ever they did made it worse because now I can't even get the device to stay connected to the computer when I can get to the phone it does say that the storage device needs to be formated however before being able to do anything else I get another device disconnect and reconnect
