I flashed Liquidsmooth RC8 Quincyatt (and yes I made sure it was the quincyatt file). And now it's bricked. I can't turn anything on, screen is black, no vibrations, nothing. Will a jig cure this? Or will this have to be sent into samsung as I still have the warranty for it?
Thanks.
Ur warranty is void as soon as u flash and the flash counter is activated buddy. You can jig it or jtag it

Samsung will still warranty it. Might take forever just don't tell em it was rooted or ROM related. And how can u check a flash counter if the phone is dead. All they are gonna do is send u another phone.

well youre answer lies in youre own words i was reffering to the note i know about the jig from my captivate days ..
Jigs don't work on this phone, so don't bother..
yes, they work on some phones, just not this one
Jigs might not work but a jtag hits a home run

Hey guys. I was trying to unlock my Galaxy Note and in the process I put a ICS kernel on the Gingerbread Stock rom. The phone will do nothing. I made and tried using a USB Jib. Nothing happened. The jig works because I tried it on another phone. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for replying.. No I can't even get into download mode. I've tried several times.. And I'm 100% its not the jig . I used the 4th and 5th connectors and it works on my Galaxy S2 but not the Note.
You will need to send it off to someone with a JTAG device. It costs less than $50 and takes about ten days.
Wrong kernel == hard brick
you must have flashed an n700 note rom ..yup its a hard brick. need to send it to mobiletechvideos for the jtag. and dont flash anymore international note stuff

Nowww You tell me.. lol thanks i was in a rush and there were 2 threads for Android development one Original and one not. I picked the top one flashed a kernel thinking it would help me unlock..
You're not the only one. At least the mobiletech guy will get your phone fixed. Its a pretty cheap lesson but it sure hurts!
i just sent my hardbricked n7000 off to mobiletechvideos, hopeing it comes back fixed
Ok, great. See you in the international n7000 forums in a week.

how did you brick your device? Did you try the USB Jig?

Again, brick = JTAG. Jig is used if your phone has signs of life like battery indicator when charging or in a bootloop and you can't get to download mode or recovery.
I flashed the LQ6 Modem through CWM. It flashed successfully and I rebooted but the phone got stuck at the Siyah load screen. So I hard rebooted. Screen went black and now absolutely nothing works. Screen stays black no matter what. Computer doesn't pick it up at all. USB jig does nothing. :/
So unless there's someway I can revive it from here I guess JTAG is my only option.
My friend might be able to get me access to a JTAG box. How exactly do I go about unbricking?
Btw, does anyone know of someone in the San Diego area that does JTAG service? Thanks.

There was only 1 siyah release that did it and the developer pulled it just after an hour, and siyah has been safe since then. Due to that incident, most custom kernels are safe now since the developers are aware. Only Samsung stock is unsafe.

That is exactly what I'm talking about - OP is using safe kernel (siyah 4.x) and still he managed to brick his device while flashing modem from recovery. How did he managed to brick his device if he is using safe kernel?

Something else must have gone wrong because his case doesn't look like a typical emmc brick bug issue.

Yup, I was running Siyah 4.1.2 and a CM10 nightly. Worked fine until I flashed LQ6 and rebooted. I don't think it's emmc - at this point I'm chalking it up to a bad zip.

I was thinking the same thing too.
So does anyone know if I can use the RIFF software with a different JTAG box (not the RIFF box)?
Or anyone know of a reliable JTAG service in the San Diego area?
Sent my S2 in for JTAG service. Hopefully it comes back good as new!
Btw, I used cell-dr.com. Can't beat their price!

I also bricked my sgs2 i9100. Tried everything, nothing worked. Finally came across MobileTechVideos.com for JTAG Service and send my phone to them. They really did a great job . I am able to see my phone working again and surprisingly all my data were there. I think you should definitely give it a try if your phone is completely unresponsive. :good::good::good: to MobileTechVideos.com

I had the same as you mate.
There is nothing you can do at the moment.
There are several guys with this problem.
When you try to flash a rom,odin gives you a pit file error,right.
The battery is not charging,right.
You can't pass the first screen,right.
I brought mine to a repair center and they say the whole screen must be replaced,WTF.
Cost:216 euros.
I wait for a solution here on xda.
Perhaps JTAG helps

and after checking my IMEI number he told me they will have to get an approval from samsung something office anyway and after asking and asking and asking if it was stolen or something like that he told me no . . . thank god he really scared me
to clear things up i got this unit as a gift from someone in samsung "friend of a friend' before the official market date
im looking for someone that has JTAG to try and fix this
but for your unit i dont think it would be the screen if you can go into download mode and see it then the screen would be ok . . . i think

I'm no expert but if we take the worst case scenario it would be that your memory is dead

I have 2 questions about this:
1. is the USB jig the same for Samsung Galaxy S because I have one for that phone and it works for that one
2. What do I do when the phone shows up in download mode, what then?
Thanks for all your replys
USB jig is unusable on the galaxy note....
And if the phone arrives from a JTAG repair in download mode, then you are forced to push a stock rom to the device via Odin once you receive it.
I would be very surprised if the device comes back that way. All of the JTAG service users I'm aware of, received their devices back with a factory GB image....g
