It stayed on Vibrant/Samsung screen.
I downloaded one click odin.. LIKE AN IDIOT I DIDNT SEE IT WAS FOR CAPTIVE (AT&T) ONLY!!
NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
PLEASE HELP and link me to wherever i need to download stuff.

Download mode doesnt work
It shows AT&T and keeps rebooting.. over and over. I have no idea if they will exchange it due to it being a t-mobile phone.
Maybe Try the jig
Not sure I know enough about the real issue other than you got the wrong rom. But, there is a jig you can make 301k resistor (or combo of a few to equal that number) soldered to a usb connector on # 4 & 5 pins look it up it will unbrick the phone and get you into the phone from there I not sure what you will need to do next but that would get you into the phone. Btw the resistors and usb cord less than 5 bucks good luck
Dude, you are being childish. I usually never flame but don't say you did because you didn't Enough. Slow down and take your time. If you are doing any kind of mods you should learn how to use Odin first, but unfortunately its always after the fact.
Learn how to use Odin, in the development bible I have a video there to show you how. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You are completely right. I was "trigger happy" you may say and I did it by rushing through it and ruined my phone. Luckily I have not yet sold my 3Gs and could use that until I get tmobile to exchange it.
The jig would most likely work for my case but I would need a step by step guide which unfortunately didn't find with images or video.
If I could just kill the AT&T boot logo it'd be perfect but sadly I can't.
I got the phone two days ago..so I am really sure I can get away with an exchange.
If you return the phone and it is booting with the At&t logo they will now you where messing with it and charge you the full amount of the phone which is around $400.
What you have is a soft brick. You can fix it if you bothered reading. Just follow this:

I wish mine was a soft brick but it isn't. That thread was for "phone ! PC" mine is a tmo vibrant that boot loops as AT&T captive since I flashed the wrong stock kernel.
Remove battery, SIM card and the external SD card.
Connect USB cord
Hold down both volume keys and insert the battery.
I love how everyone gives the same reply. The phone WAS FULLY BRICKED.
I took it to T-Mobile and said I did an update and this is what happened and they gave me a brand spanking new one! =D
Thanks for all your help though.

Pathetic, take some responsibility. Thanks for supporting a future of locked phones.
I googled for hours, and now i give up and ask here what to do.
My friends brought two Galaxy Ace s5830i from UAE. One works good, the other one not. Friend says he just turned the screen off and put the phone into pocket, and after that there were bootloop.
He never flashed any roms and stuff, doesn't have root, he is just a user who use stock things. He even hasn't downloaded any non-market apps, but he says some strange things about "I was playing angry birds, then I got some danger notification from samsung, I haven't read it, just pressed ok, and for some time everything was ok, but then blah blah blah", i don't know what that was.
He hasn't got any custom recovery either, and he has no warranty in our country.
Factory reset didn't help.
Odin can't see the phone (both 1.85 and 4.38).
Now they also say that their phones were taken somewhere for 20 minutes to "add russian language", the question is how? Flashing another stock rom? I am totally lost.
It seems so silly, but i don't know what to do.
Any ideas?

No recovery, no download mode. Just the same bootloop after reboot.
Kies can't connect too.
I usually tell people to try making a USB jig as their last resort, since they cant boot into download mode.
That's a cheap way to fix it.

I am a female (living with another two females) fixing the phone for male.
I am not that dumb, but I don't have skills or equip to make that jig thingy.
Though, I like the idea, so I would give it a try. Thank you.
300KOhm, 1/4W is okay or 301 needed?
You can find the details here:
http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-hacks/how-to-make-a-usb-jig-for-your-galaxy-s2/
Even though it says it's for the S2 it should work on SGA as well.
This guy on ebay listed a few phones by samsung:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-S5830-Fix-Download-USB-jig-MUST-HAVE-/130541952765
And if you would be able to get into download mode in the future, DONT use kies. I would rather stick with ODIN. I havent heard anyone getting their phone bricked using ODIN. A lot of people on XDA seem to have bricked their phone using kies, even my friend became a victim after the first day using his phone.
unfortunately, russian post is ****ty post. it would take too long, i'm afraid. will try to make or to find it here.
I wasnt encouraging you to buy it through ebay, I was only refering to the list

Hello..
please i need an urgent help..
i just downloaded "cm-10-20120727-n7000-XPLODWILD" and flashed it, and when i rebooted it, it stock and doens't want to start at allllllllllllll..
and i even tried to remove the battary and put it back and still the same.. and when i connected it to the charger it didn't show the battery charging
please i need help very fast
That's for the international note, you just hard bricked your phone. International roms aren't compatible with our phones and vice versa. Hopefully you're under warranty or have insurance...

N7000 is NOT the same as i717. Can you still get to recovery? Hold vol+, vol -, and power for 5 seconds or so until it shows samsung logo, with luck you will only have screwed your main kernel and still have recovery to flash a working i717 one. If not do Power+Vol+ for 5 seconds for download mode which requires Odin on PC to flash a cwm/twrp recovery or stock rom.

if you can't boot into download mode, your Note is dead , pull the battery out, leave it for a minute and while holding the volume down, stick the battery in and see if it boots into download mode. I'm not going to ask why at this point of time anyone wouldn't know the difference of the two model Notes, it happened at first right after the US Note came out , anyways, you can try to get your hands on a jig and force it into download mode if nothing else works, pretty cheap http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode-jig/ , I have one and all you do is plug it in the usb port and it should automatically boot into download mode, they don't have one for the note but the galaxy s/vibrant 4g/nexus should all work.
If you can get it booted into download mode you can save it with the proper rom flashed thru odin, the n7000 boot.img/zImage is what killed your note, you can't use the kernel or modem from each other.
Good luck.

Using a jig is completely different than JTAG. Jig simply boots download mode, and probably won't work. JTAG involves soldering something on the motherboard and costs about 50 bucks if you ship it to somebody to do, which could save your phone possibly. And since you didn't read enough to know the difference between the international and ATT notes, you should probably read a lot more before the next time you try something.

Sorry for your loss....
It's an expensive (and avoidable) lesson to learn...
(Reading for comprehension)...is mandatory around here, to avoid a paperweight...and I'd rather risk being flamed alive for asking a repeat question, than to brick my note due to lack of understanding. The difference between these two devices is "very" easy to spot with minimal research.
very sorry....g
Sorry man. I read a lot before I started anything with an iPhone or android. There are devoted sections to each international and states note. At the very least you learned a huge lesson. Try a warranty exchange or insurance and you'll be good to go again.

I gave you the only answer you need ! Unless you can boot into download mode your Note is D.E.A.D.-S.O.L.... if it won't boot to download mode, either make a USB jig or buy one like I showed you, even gave you a link for it or claim warranty/insurance. Don't know what else you want, maybe someone can take a trip to your house and do it for you.....

Brick means dead. Paperweight. It happens. JTAG.
Here is a link to mobiletechvideos
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note-jtag-brick-repair/
I just broke the rules by posting that, you're welcome.
That is listed for the international version, but at the bottom it says "valid for the at&t lte version"
Josh is a trusted member of xda, and he has zombified many phones.
As stated above, this type of repair is the only hope you have of saving this phone.
my phone was working fine .. I had done over 50 new roms on my galaxy note so im not to new to these.. anyways I downloaded the latest slim rom and the latest gapps.. i did full swipe 3 times plus dalvik and cache like I do usually and i installed a fresh copy of the slim rom plus the gapps.. as soon as the gapps finished the installation my phone went blank.. i tried to restart but nothing not even the vibration just blank screen.. i meant that not even trying to start up, i have two fully charge batteries and nothing .. it wont even go into recovery with power and the two volume keys.. please advice.. i never encountered a situation like these..
thanks in advance for any help//
I plug the phone to the charger and nothing.. its completely dead.!
Most likely installed rom version for a different device. There is no "new" version for our note i717 that i am aware of. So your best bet is JTAG for about $50 at mobiletechvideos.com.

So is download mode gone for Sure? ??
The link is good but there are no ROM downloads for the newest release for the I717 at the moment. There is for the N7000 and I777 though. Sounds like you installed a ROM not made for the I717.

Yes, you can recover your phone. Just get your fifty dollars and phone to the JTAG guy and it will be back in a week.

Best of luck OP....
It's a bad day when a device locks up ...
I joined XDA after thinking I knew more than I really did.
I was helping a friend with root on an HTC evo.......and missed a critical step, causing a hard brick.
No JTAG there ....so I said I'm sorry, and we got in my truck and drove too the Verizon store.
$375.00 later, he was up and going again.....(and I was much lighter in the wallet )
Ever since, I've been here trying to help others to avoid the same mistake I made.
Since then, I read everything 5 times before using it, and I'll even contact the developer if I have questions.
I'm never afraid to ask questions, and I stop if that "feeling" hits me with doubt.
Please post here when the phone comes back if you can.
We hate those bricks, but we love a good success story too ....g
Well. My curiousty led to a hard-bricked phone
It's definetly official. I am not going to install any more custom roms after this. To make my story breif. I aquired a motorola atrix 2 phone, and had read it could accomdate a custom rom, so I used a one click root method program and the program said it had done its job. I booted into the recovery and installed the rom, which ended in an infinite reboot. Great, so I read more on how to revert back to firmware using rsd lite. I did this, but the battery was dead. so I went out and purchased anther battery, attempted the restore, phone restart, then BOOM. it stayed black and now it wont come on. wtf.
Can any please recommend the proper cable I have to order to get the phone back working>?

Thank you. But an experienced repair guy said my phone wasn't responding to neither the USB jtag or the fast boot. So my phone is dead forever? Should I start digging its grave?
Sure sounds this way, and you shouldn't be doing JTAG through the USB port anyway unless your phone is something special I've never heard of
But in truth rooting your phone won't damage it, it just gives someone the opportunity to do so. I'm a firm believer in rooting all androids so long as they read and understand what they are doing, its very hard to brick a phone if you know what you're doing
So although this phone may be dead forever (unless you find someone who for sure knows the proper way to JTAG it) then still consider rooting your next one, just be sure to completely understand what's going on, and try to stay away from one click roots, its hard to learn anything from this
Best of luck on your next phone

I wish I had warranty on this thing. I got it second hand from craigslist. However i've managed to acquire an HTC inspire 4G, what an upgrade from a motorola cliq xt! I would love to install jelly bean on this thing but after messing up the Atrix 2 i'm scared I will F*ck this one up too. I can never find clear and concise instructions on the internet. Every web page I visit, it seems to be someones personal way of doing it. Steps not mentioned, or instructions written for intermediate users. For example, Every video or piece of instruction i've watched on youtube regarding booting into the fast boot on the atrix 2, said something about holding volume up and power button upon booting and I would see something on the top of the screen. However that did not work, First I had to use the volume down and power button, then I would get to this fastboot screen where those recovery options werent available, from there I had to hold both volume buttons down and press the power button twice which would bring me to the recovery options screen. thats just one example, and even then for some reasons I didn't have all the recovery options the instructions spoke of... for example. Very annoying and frustrating. On a side note, is there anyone on this site who lives in the US that can unbrick my atrix 2? The guy who repair phones I took it to said theres a device for 250.00 bucks he's waiting to get that can unbrick any device. However he doesnt have the funds and had gotten laid off work. I am just having a hard time believing a simple soft user error could permanently damage my device forever and that as sophiscated as our technology has gotten there's absolutely no way to revive it.

I can't attest to the videos you saw, but for most androids this is the best site with the most info, I only suggest being sure how to root before you do it, and to understand how the method works as well. When your not understanding this is when bricks happen.
I know it can be lots of reading and lots of questions but in the long run its worth the time
As for the JTAG equipment there are many who have it and you can easily spend less than 250 on getting the proper stuff.
Every logicboard is different so maybe this machine he speaks of has a wide variety of cables that come with it, but he's still paying too much
Anyway, most people seem to charge 50$ or so to JTAG it back, if that's more than the phone is worth to you just sell it on eBay for parts

Anyway, most people seem to charge 50$ or so to JTAG it back, if that's more than the phone is worth to you just sell it on eBay for parts

Can you link me to clear and concise instructions on how to upgrade my 2.3.7 ( i think) to jellybean on an htc inspire 4g? and is there anyone here who can fix my phone that you know of?
HERE IS YOUR PHONES FORUM
you will find links to all the guides you need here, always read the stickies in each section, this tends to have the important info you need
then anything your not sure about should be asked in the proper place within this forum for the best answers
example, question on how to root should be asked in the how to root thread for best chance of a good answer, question on how to flash a new radio should be asked in a thread pertaining to this
im sorry but i dont know enough about your phone specificly to help further but hopefully the members in your device specific forum will
best of luck!
