Hello to all. I have a problem that seems quite serious and I do not know what to do.
Basically, I tried to install on my phone firmware Mozilla Boot to Gecko, through recovery of kernel siyah v5.0, doing a restore of the file found on this page: harjunpaa.fi/B2G/
Of course, the firmware, which is in pre-alpha, is full of bugs. Among these, during calls, my partner could not hear my voice.
I then decided to run a deep clean to go back to android. So I went into recovery and I noticed that I had ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4, which is indicated on the first page above to perform the restore. So, instead of proceeding with the deep clean, I tried again to do a restore through this recovery.
The process actually lasted a bit 'more time than the first, and I thought then that I was doing the right thing.
Finished everything I restarted the phone, but nothing. Black screen. Then I removed the battery and tried to turn it on normally, but nothing. The phone does not even go into recovery or download mode. I also tried to force the download mode by inserting the jig key, but still nothing.
At this point I find myself with a brick that will not start in any way and do not know what to do. Of course, before I do this, I loaded the battery to 100%, so there is no danger that it is unloaded.
Please, I'm desperate, help me.
Sorry for my bad english. Thanks.
JTAG repair (if possible) or service centre. Can't see what else you could possibly do given you're getting absolutely nothing from the phone & you've tried a jig.

What is JTAG repair?
Its about £150 cheaper than a mobo replacement.
Do you have warranty.

I think your problem was that you had your phone discharge. My problem, unfortunately, is far more serious.
If it cant start(in any mode),and you have warranty,then samsung will replace the mobo.
i have warranty, but i have the phone rooted, so don't know if I can use it. however I have reset the counter with triangle away.
Send it to Samsung/authorised repairer & see what happens.

Why didn't you charge it at first? If you read the guides you were supposed to have at least 50% of battery.

Hey mate, sorry to hear about your phone. If you're getting the charging animation it's not dead.
The discription that i had didnt say anything about batterys percentage anyays its fine now i got it back

if I send the phone to samsung and I can not take advantage of the guarantee, do they warn me before repair?
If you removed the triangle and did a counter reset, then they can't do anything than repairing your mobile phone. What reasons do they have for refusing repair? Rooting files on your phone? Well they can't look up on what you have stored on your phone, you know, data privacy and stuff...

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.
Please help! my i9100 dunno why suddently unable to turn on wifi, click wifi button it just stuck there.
It has happend to me occasionally... its when i switch from one wifi to another...like from home to work or vice versa...while being on mobile network in between...
i have had to restart the phone.
maybe a bug in OS... dunno
I can confirm that the same happens to me. Atr first I thought it was just me because of my custom rom, but after reading the above I'm not so sure anymore...
Anyway my solution was to restart the phone, it went back to normal.
First rule of technology: if something doesn't work, turn off device and then turn back on again.

You can also try making a full backup, doing a full wipe, then re-flashing your rom or even try with a different rom to see if the problem persists. Could also be kernel related, so you could always try a different kernel to test it.

Try to unplug your router for 10 seconds and plug it back in. Then forget the wifi connection and reconnect to it.

No it's not a problem with anyone's router in this case... Wifi devices other than phone should be working fine as does in my case..
Fiddling with the router is a distraction than being root cause.

have did a full wipe,wipe every thing! have tried different kernel different modem and also have restart my router but simply cant solve the problem.
I believe it should be hardware problem
Well if you tried everything, flash a stock ROM from sammobile.com, and send your device off to a Samsung Repair Centre. It sounds like a hardware problem after everything you have done.

now i just worried about samsung may not want to give me a free of charge repair under warranty condition due to the reason that i have rooted my phone.
so now i have flashed back to stock rom and hoping that samsung wont mind lol
Make sure you remove your SD Card when you send it off, and just to be safe use a USB Jig to remove any traces of a custom binary counter and the use of Odin.

Using a JIG is a lot more safer if you aren't sure. Triangle Away can easily brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.

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

I've read a few posts where some users have issues with the power button sticking..
Try different USB ports on your PC if you can access download mode your still good.

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 there!
After trying to flash SGS2 i9100 to ICS with KIES phone got bricked... It doesn't charge and boot. When I try to power on, it begins to vibrate until I pull out the battery. Download mode not working, the screen stays black.
Can I somehow fix it or the only way is to bring it to the service center?
Send it to the service centre anyway they do a great job so you may aswel. And you know it will be fine once you get it back

It won't be covered by warranty, so before paying I'd like to know if I could fix it by myself
I set mine to the service centre when it wasnt under warranty and they did it for free...

It will. Tell the that Kies update broke it and play dumb.
I don't understand why first you try the hard way and not even considering the option to get it repaired effortlessly and free.

Hello,my friend has a problem.His phone was flashed and rooted.It worked without any problem but he said that after 2-3 month phone just freezed.He couldn't reset it,so he took battery out.And now he can't turn on phone, only black screen.So now I have tried entering Download mode but without any success.I have no idea what's wrong.It just died like that...Any help?Thanks!
It's in the so called "Paperweight" mode: anything will work. The only way to repair is to send it back to your seller. A JIG won#t work, throwing it through a room won't work... I feel sorry for you:crying:
