I'm stuck guys!!! Installed jellybean stock and then went into recovery today and press wipe data and my daughter then shut it down accidently halfway through , it now only boots to splash screen, no recovery, pc won't recognise it, I can't do anything..... Any suggestions
:crying:
Hold the powerbutton till it vibrates than hold the vol down button till you get the white text. Than volume up. Recovery... Install new Rom unless you have no recovery at all... Than use nvflash?

Nothing comes on the screen but a splash screen with Asus in the middle and "The device is unlocked" top right, I cannot believe from having a tablet that was running to now a tablet that cannot to my knowledge be fixed.... I'm so gutted.... Is there a jig or something so I can connect somehow to the tablets with a pc, my pc doesn't recognise it, I'm guessing I have a hard bricked Tablet here and bootloader is unlocked so Asus will just laugh at me and charge me more than its worth to fix it...... I'm sure this is gonna be a more and more popular problem as people updated to jellybean and may use the wipe in the stock recovery..... So a lesson here to you all that may do..... Don't use wipe in Stock jellybean if your battery is less than 40% its just not worth the risk.... If anybody had any ideas I would appreciate them. Thank you.

I have the same exact problem.... I can, however, get the computer to recgonize it through APX by resetting the prime holding the power button volume up. This puts it into APX mode. Unfortunately, I can't do a full system flash because I never backed up my NVFlash data....
I hit wipe data in the recovery screen as well and BAM. toast....

Did you try installing universal naked drivers found in the development thread? When you plug in the tab to pc what shows in the device manager? A data wipe shouldn't get rid of the recovery.....
I'm in missing something with the naked drivers as I downloaded them but they don't seem to be installable, just small files that open up notes about them, do I put these in a certain folder in Windows..... There is no. Exe. Files as to install them.... What I'm I doing wrong??

Taken from this page...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502&highlight=install&page=12
You need to do so through device manager. Choose Update Driver for the device, then "specific driver" (browse option) then "Have Disk" and point to the path you have the driver files. On newer windows OS's you should get a "Driver not signed" warning just click install. Voila, driver installed.
Of course the device needs to be plugged into the pc at the time....
But it doesn't even know it's connected, I've connected the usb to Asus prime and pc I've turned on prime and it's on slash screen but the pc isn't doing anything, and in device manager it doesn't show anything about my prime being connected

If you are unlocked and only have access to APX mode, but can't get to bootloader, and you have not installed NVFlash, the only option is to get a new motherboard and figure out how to install it which cost around 150$, or send it to Asus and have them repair it for like 160$+60$+10$, :/ sorry.

Yeah thats what I was worried about but had pretty much expected... Can you elaborate on the Asus costs? I have requested my RMA and will be shipping it to them today to see how much they are going to charge me.
$160 - for the motherboard?
$60 - for the work?
$10 - for them to ship it back?

A similar thing happened to me - installed JB, rebooted and stayed on the splash screen. Like you I hadn't installed NVFlash or anything. I didn't even have my serial number handy. Rma'd mine on the pretense I was going to pay to have it fixed. It turns out mine (after they salvaged the serial number) was still under the manufacturers warranty and I should be receiving it back today. Maybe you might have the same luck?

Did you "unlock" you Prime? Ours are both unlocked. They say that voids the warranty.

We have done every combo of button pressing and were still stuck with apx being the only thing we can get, I have learnt that I have 2 options now....

My friend broke his i777 when trying to update to the newest AOKP (he used rom manager) I wasn't home to help him fix it and he accidentally used some vibrant tool to fix it instead of normal Odin.
So it is hard bricked, he got a jig and that's not working either. Any ideas?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
If it is a hard brick and the jig does not work then i think you need to buy a new phone
If it's truely hard bricked, then the only option is jtag recovery. Mobile Tech Videos is a reputable vendor who can do that.
If there is absolutely no sign of life, then that is your only option. If there is any sign of life at all, then you possibly might recover the phone without that.

MTV repaired my captivate when i hard bricked it. Odin hanged on me during a boot-loader revert and it was toast. The guy that does the repair must have some special tools cause you'd never even know my phone had been opened up just by looking at it.
He flashed a vibrant rom with bootloaders?, that's the only way to hard brick a galaxy s2 from what I've read. Did you try connecting to computer and pressing volume up and down to enter in download mode?
Provide more information.
I don't know what vibrant thing he used it could have had boot loaders he doesn't know also yes I tried all those combinations
Also I am looking into JTAG repair now thanks for the help
Edit: are we sure this will work 50$ is allot (although not too much if it works) also where can I find this MTV guy?

Go to mobiletechvideos.com. $50 is worth it and he can fix it. And for whatever reason, they can't get it working , they refund your money. But they're a trusted site. They unbricked my captivate
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Before you send it in for jtag repair...
If you havn't tried it already, try putting the phone into download mode by first removing the battery, then holding down Vol+ and vol- (but not power) while you plug in the usb cable connected to your pc. The key here is to have the battery out. If this puts you into download mode, then go to the Download Repository and flash the I777UCKH7-CL503881 Stock Binaries including bootloaders.
Re: jtag. From what I have read, you can trust mobile tech videos. $50.00 is a bit less than replacing the phone. The XDA developer Adam Outler also has done some jtag repair for folks on the captivate, and may also do the sgsII. I havn't heard lately, but some time ago he was a little cheaper than MTV.
Yes Mobile Tech videos will work perfectly for getting it fixed. I have also spoken to him on the phone many of times and he is a really cool person and very knowledgeable. He fixed my cappy back in the day and he got it to work with our sgs2s back when they first came out. Also you may see if he can apply the unbreakable mod for you while he is at it. Makes it darn near impossible to ever brick it again with bad flashes of even wrong/bad boot loaders. And $50 is way cheaper than a new phone or even insurance if you now decide to accident run it over with your car before calling att.

I am wondering if AT&T would go to this level of trouble to determine if a ROM was uploaded to a phone or not to determine whether or not the warranty was voided? My phone froze under normal usage under one of the more popular ROMs. I wrote about it elsewhere so I won't write about it here again.. but it said something about encryption when rebooting and never came back from black.
My only concern is when sending it in under warranty at&t will reject and stick me for replacement bill..

Why post in a dead thread?
Bleh
This morning I was transferring a couple files from my computer to my phone sd card via usb, something I've done a million times. All of a sudden I heard that sound the computer makes when you disconnect via usb and my screen went black. So I disconnected the usb cable and pushed the power button to wake it. No dice. So I held the power button in like I was turning it on. No response. I let it sit for a while, still nothing. I can't boot into recovery or anything. It's like the phone has no power what so ever. The phone had a full charge, so the battery is not dead. When I plug the phone into the charger, the indicator does not come on.
Any ideas? Am I bricked just from a transfer????

try PWR + VOL UP for 10 seconds. I once had this happened during a call. Fully charged nothing wrong with it and it just died on me.
I did the above and after several tries it just turned itself on, on its own. Don't loose hope!

I tried the PWR + VOL UP several times, nothing. It's hard to describe the sounds my computer makes, but normally when I plug into usb it make a loud ding DING sound. When I plug the phone in now, it just makes a low pitched du du sound. But, it does make the normal sound when I unplug it.

An unfortunate problem with the very first batch was an issue where the phone would suddenly go onto a reboot and never come back on, it wasn't very common but enough of a problem for HTC to revise the hardware before selling any more of them. If you had an original it might explain why it suddenly happened, it happened in stock and custom. Nothing you could you could of done if it was an early model

I was @ work when I posted that response. What I wanted to add was the unbricker didn't work for me, mainly because I bricked my device downgrading firmware and the unbricker seems to be for specific brick related to lazypanda. AFAIK the unbricker will work if you bricked using lazypanda , as for phones bricked another way I don't think so.
Also my replacement came with 1.15 hboot . The sprint tech let me power up all the LTE's he had to check the boot loaders. No luck
Remember when we were on preorder someone posted an article about this phone being unbrickable. I haven't a lot of experience with android devices but it seems there are a considerable amount of bricks. Does anybody think this phone is bricking more or less than previous devices.

Where did you get that information? As far as i know all models have been hardware revision hw03.
From what I can tell the hardware id hasn't changed and I got the info from a sprint tech who received over 25 phones in a month with that exact issue and from people who can't figure out their voicemail much less unlock and root
Also plenty of phones with screen discoloration and a few with faulty proximity sensors

No I didn't. I thought the phone had to at least power up to do anything. It won't power on period. The computer doesn't recognize it when it's connected. Sprint couldn't even do anything with it.
Bought one, but have to wait till it ships, so figured I would ask if anybody in the 757 has a mini-usb jig that I could use to get my Note into download mode. Send PM if you do.

If you can see the samsung bootloader then yeah there's hope otherwise you're gonna need the $100 fix for it.
But at least people are responding, I got no love on my end, lol
keeping things in perspective, as I posted before, I have never seen anyone report that a jig does any good on this phone..
You would be better off either using JTAG, or calling Samsung, and playing stupid, and tell them it died after you did an update that the phone requested..they will send you a replacement, with no questions asked.

keeping things in perspective, as I posted before, I have never seen anyone report that a jig does any good on this phone..
You would be better off either using JTAG, or calling Samsung, and playing stupid, and tell them it died after you did an update that the phone requested..they will send you a replacement, with no questions asked.

Well smokestack76 told you differently yesterday. He said over 20 times with a jig. Plus for $1.60 I will give it a try.
yes, for the price, if it makes you feel better, try it..
and, if you believe him, when you can find 20 others that said it did absolutely nothing, then that's your choice.
the sooner you send it in to Samsung, the sooner you will have a working phone..
If Samsung is wiling to send you a loaner phone while you're under warranty i can't see why you wouldnt do that.
I know Nintendo is awesome like that but apparently Samsung reps are quite jaded when you do something silly like ask an honest question.
I wish Samsung would honor warranty services if the device hasn't been on the market longer than year.
I'm A. Maybe he Made a mistake and wants to own up for it insted of weasling into a fraudulent phone.
B. I would be a little jaded as well when I get people calling me all day that have messed up their own phone and are now trying to steal from me.
C. Samsung does honor warranties a year after the device has been on market. YOUR WARRANTY DOES NOT GO INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE ORIGINAL DATE OF PURCHASE. not when the first one of its kind rolls off the assembly line.
Also, wase a jig does work of you are not actually bricked, if you were to be soft bricked the jig would force download mode. I had a captivate I built a jig for, first thing I did was try it on my note. Bam, download mode.
And finally op it's a micro usb jig not mini. Mini is bigger than micro
yeah bro, I know a jig works for SOME phones; it helped me bring my S2 back to life..
However, I have read many many reports of it doing nothing for the Note, so that was why I said what I did..
Plus, people are using the term "Bricked" around here in so many ways, that its hard to know what they mean when they say it..to me, a bricked phone is DEAD, and nothing but an expensive paperweight.....
I can take a video of my note going from off to download mode with nothing but my jig. However the same jig that works on both my phones is out of resistance tolerance on my brothers sgs2.
And yes bricked is used much too often,it is a term to describe when your phone is inert, has no pliability and just sits there, like the baked red clay building material it was named for.
was curious to see if the OP had any luck with the jig....
Well the jig did nothing for me. I suggest send your phone to mobiletechvideos.com for repair, he goes through the JTAG recovery method, and he also unlocked mine... he did a great job. I bricked my Note flashing a ROM for another device by mistake, could not use the jig for anything, so had it repaired. Feeling really happy now... hope this helps.
the jig isn't and was never meant to fix a hard brick...
[history lesson]
Back on captivate, certain bootloaders would disable the button combos for download and recovery, making a simple (I hate the term... But) soft brick into a much stickier situation, so it was discovered that using 300k ohms of resistance across certain pins on the usb port from a powered off state would trigger download mode in seconds, making you then able to simply odin a stock rom and try again.
It was later discovered that the jig had the same effect on the sgs2 with the added benefit of restting the flash counter.
[/history lesson]
If you flash a firmware for the international note on an i717 you will need jtag because you are indeed bricked of the hard variety.

Nope gig still in the mail, however took Note to ATT Device Service Center and they told me mother board failure and replaced it. So might not have been related to flashing, inspection seem pretty in depth, removed back cover, using multi meter type of tool and said mother board didn't provide correct response to input. My mandatory 10 days to return no functioning unit is 17 Dec so don't think will have chance to try the jig before I send it back or be charged $549 for non-functioning unit.

might as well keep the jig for the couple of bucks it cost..plus, even if it doesn't work for this phone, it might work for your next one!
First off, I'd like to say that the video I watched before registering is comical!
I need help! So, being a complete noob to all this - I will allow you to tell me if my phone is the b word!
I just purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 1 - Model SHG-i717R (Rogers - Canada)only a few hours ago. The phone was owned by a kid, who advertised it as rooted and unlocked. I only really needed the unlocked part as I'm a Telus customer! Put my SIM in at it worked. Got home, boyfriend looked at it and the counter was already at 5 and the binary read "custom". The model number in the phone info read something like N7005 (if that makes any sense - it didn't match the model # on the back of the phone i717). The boyfriend decided he was going to install the original rom on it which he downloaded from sammobile, specifically for Rogers - Canada. He attempted the update in Odin, and it failed (twice). After it failed the screen stated the following:
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SGH-i717R
Custom Binary Download: YES(5 counts)
Current Binary: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE. PLEASE SELECT RECOVERY MODE IN KIES & TRY AGAIN.
Tried Kies, but it wouldn't recognize the phone.
He attempted to get the phone back into download mode with no luck.
When you pull the battery and put it back in and press the power button it does vibrate - but then shows that above mentioned screen. When i connect the phone via USB to the computer - it makes the connected noise and looks for the drivers but can't find them.
So, question is - am I bricked (soft or hard)? And, if not/so - is there a way to fix this?!
Thanks in advance! It's really going to suck if I just wasted all the money!
Push and hold volume down, and power for 15 seconds.
If DL mode is present, the device will vibrate 3 times at 5 second intervals.
Release both buttons after the third vibration, and you should be in DL mode.
Then push a factory image via Odin.
If no DL mode happened ....JTAG ...g
Edit : if you get an image pushed successfully, you must get the CWM recovery pushed also, Then wipe all data then caches, and factory reset to clear the device of the garbage....g

Uninstall kies and all drivers.
Reboot.
Reinstall everything.
Reboot.
Swap usb ports on pc.
Always right click odin and run as admin.
You should be able to flash just a custom recovery image with Odin, then flash a custom rom zip in recovery.
N7005 is the version from Singapore with compatible hardware to the I717 variants.
Flash counter doesn't matter until you're returning it for warranty...which being a second-hand owner doesn't apply to you at all.... I would have left well enough alone of it worked.. our tried another custom Rom. Why he wanted you to have the stock rom (eww) is beyond me.

I dont know what JTAG and g mean.... Did I mention I was a noob?!
Jtag is a way of recovering a truly bricked phone.
"....g" is just how he ends every. single. post.
As a signature. G as in greg, his name.

Haha, ok. So what is the process of JTAG?
I held the volume down button and power button... the custom os warning comes up - i still keep holding. The phone vibrates 3 times.. I let go it then vibrates a 4th time while not being pressed and gives me the same screen!
JTAG is done by a professional, it requires both special tools and the know how. Not to be done by the common user.
I don't think it's too the point of needing jtag, there is still life. A brick is when the phone exhibits all the electronic properties of that red baked clay building material it's named after. Not. A. Damn. Thing.
Hold all three buttons till you feel those vibrates, then let off the power while still holding the volumes. Hopefully you'll get sick recovery where you can try a factory reset.
Or hook up to pc and then manually push a custom recovery image with adb.

It's still doing the exact same thing - no matter which combination of buttons I try. It's also giving a 4 vibration after I have let go. It did show the Samsung logo for a second before giving me that screen again though.
Have you done the first steps I mentioned?
Uninstall everything phone related.
Reboot.
Reinstall.
Reboot, swap usb ports on computer.
Then try kies emergency firmware upgrade from that screen you're getting.

Did one better - tried on a computer that has never had anything phone related installed. Kies doesn't recognize the phone.

This person is in Canada, I dunno anywhere other than mobiletechvideos to send it to.. and that's an international shipment. Trying to save some money... Still a few things to try Mr. Pessimist.
BUT it's going to be more advanced.
You're going to have to install the android sdk, and see if adb sees the phone at any point in the process. If it does, you can then manually push a recovery to the phone and then flash a rom.zip from there.
Like I said, advanced and it'll take potentially all day to research and get set up... but jtag itself is $40 us.. not to mention shipping.
The above mentioned process is completely free...

Wow. I'm sure we have no idea how to do that! And, which person is in Canada?
You are.
Jtag guy is in Texas...
Mobiletechvideos.com
If you don't want to put on the effort and learn...there you go.

Where is the best place to find the steps to attempt this? I dont want to just use random google searches. Any reccommendations?
This site is the best place ....
Search here for SDK and related topics.
It's not going to be a 1 hour deal....as the device is jacked up pretty good.
It does not fit the total definition of hard brick, but if manipulated attempts to get into DL mode have failed, and Kies can't see the device, it's basically the same outcome.
Studacris is attempting to get you studied up on the android SDK, which simply means the tools used to access the device at the development level.
The obvious outcome, would be employing the SDK, and pushing files manually to the device via the android debug bridge, or ADB for short.
There is still device activity, thus we feel that it might be receptive to the attempt.
But as mentioned, it will take some steep learning by you, and some serious patients and attention to detail.
If done incorrectly, you'll make it worse.
So there are your options....
Either send it off for JTAG repair, or install a working SDK environment onto your PC and learn the grass roots of android.
The third option ....find the guy that sold you a brick, and beat him with it ...
(Third option not sanctioned here )....g
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium HD app
That 3rd option would be to break up with the dude who borked it.. hahaha
Whoever sold it...sold it in working condition.
Sorry OP ...
I'm unable to help you further ...
I've been asked to leave ..
But before I go ....I'd like to point out that a device without drivers, and no connection capability, "IS" a brick.
And would require the same repair as a brick.
Mrhaley ....please see my post before this one, and understand that I do have a genuine interest in helping this user.
Many suggestions and options there ...and I would be very interested in hearing your solution for a device exhibiting the problems listed above .....g

So I'm changing from androwook to cm10.2 however try as I might I can't get my prime to boot into recovery I've tried doing it from the power menu, from ROM manager and even holding power and volume down, from what I can tell it is looping when trying to open recovery, any ways I can reflash the recovery without a PC ? Eg mobile Odin ?
Just an update I was trying to wipe the user data and clicked wipe data on the pwr + volume down menu ,,fast boot?? Now it won't enter fast boot no matter what sequence of buttons it just goes the the Asus splash screen with this device is unlocked I. The top left, ??

Can you still get into android?
If you cannot then you are hard bricked by using that wipe menu.
I can't get into anything, it just loads the splash screen. I'm looking for ways to fix ur through apx but it was rooted when I bought it so never knew about nvflash been searching the forums for hours as there has to be a way of fixing it

Unfortunately without nvflash backups you are hard bricked. It was an easy fix when you had no recovery but as soon as you did that wipe in fastboot and lost access to fastboot you killed all hope.
Only option is a new motherboard.
Arse biscuits is there no way of repairing the mobo ? Possibly replacing the chips ?

Your best option is to find one with a smashed screen for sale on ebay etc and take the motherboard out of it.
Most people pay around the 100 dollars mark for one.
If you send it back to Asus they are going to charge you over 300.
You can buy them on eBay with dock in working condition for £120 brand new they are £230 I think I will just sell it on as spares and buy myself a new one unless I can get a replacement mobo for under £50 its not worth the effort
Thanks for the replys
