Hello Everyone,
I have just installed a ROM from CWM, and selected Reboot system, and phone turned off and wouldn't turn back on. nothing, completely black, not even boot up screen, nothing, I pulled out battery and put back in, nothing as well. put it on charger and still nothing.
Not quite sure what to do.
Is there a reset button for it?
Anyone any thoughts?
Thanks.
try to get it into download mode...by pressing power button and down button
It's like im clicking nothing, doesn't make a difference, still powered off.
What rom did you flash on your note?
I have realized that I flashed a wrong ROM on there.
It's for N700 the other note. not the i717
[ROM] CriskeloRomNOTE ICS V1 Beta3
Although im CWM it read the file and expanded it.
You probily have bricked your galaxy note as the 2 different model notes, use different boatloaders as they both use differnt cpu chips.You will have to take your phone to Bell to get it fixed or replaced.
Try this method. ..pull battery and put it back in...hold down volume up and down while plugging into pc...
That may get you into download mode so you can flash the stock rom etc

You can try one of these. They're only a couple of dollars and supposed to force the phone into DL mode. I believe someone on the forums said it works for the ATT note:

Nothing worked,
Bell wouldn't send it away because it's been rooted, doesn't that void the warranty.

you are holding the buttons down yes ? hold the vol down and the power button, HOLD THEM down , if its not hard bricked you should boot to down load,, you will get a vibration and then the down load screan , if you get nothing at all your hard bricked and i think you are out of luck
yeah nothing,
It seems like I am out of luck.

Try the USB jig dude. Worst case is you're out $4.
If the phone does not boot, bell can not tell if it is rooted or not

For the future, NEVER admit to rooting a phone that cannot be turned on... Almost never comes back once mailed away from the dealer.... They just don't care... Just play dumb at the dealer....
You can buy a jig for $8.00 that will get you to download mode and flash back to stock. I bought mine from video tech out of Texas.

I'm sure this has been asked before and I apologize for asking again if so. (I tried to search but couldn't find the files I need.)
I need to get my Vibrant that is on ICS back to 100% factory.
I know I have to repartition to go back but I can't find the factory Odin and PIT file I need.
Thank you all in advance.
This link might be able to help you.

Awesome! Thanks.
New problem. (Small but important.)
I am not able to get into Odin download mode. I have all my drivers installed and when I connect the phone the battery icon pops up but if I do the three button method the screen goes black like it's supposed to be it just reboots and either goes back to the battery or powers on. (I am on ICS Passion V12 if that helps any.)
Any advice? I'm stuck without linking with Odin.

Cut the phone off, pull the battery out and put it back in. Hold volume up and volume down keys at the same time(do not hold power button) and plug the usb cable in. If you have gingerbread boot loaders then it's really simple, cut the phone off and hold volume up key only then press the power button.

It appears I can't catch a break!:crying:
I got the phone restored to 2.1 and it worked flawlessly.
I plugged it up to my pc to upgrade to 2.2 through Kies. I had charged to 100%, it upgraded successfully and said the device would reboot. It never did.
It appears Kies and 2.2 have hard bricked the phone. I don't get a charging indicator and can't get into recovery or download. The phone is completely unresponsive.
I am really starting to hate Samsung.
Yea - there should be a big warning everywhere not to use kies.
If you connect the phone to the pc does it show up in Odin? If so flash away.
Try the battery method again. Also instead of going to 2.1 you may want to try the Froyo KB5 2.2 Heimdall 1-click:

Doesn't show in odin cause I can't get into download mode. :-( I'm afraid it's a hard brick as I get no response at all no matter what I try.
have you tried
1. unplugging the phone
2. pulling the battery
3. plugging it into the computer
4. place the battery back in
5. holding volume up + volume down + power
this is how i got to download mode when my phone wasn't responding
I know you said you tried everything i just want to make sure.

Just tried it again. No luck. I guess the phone is trash thanks to Samsung. :-/
Hey there. My phone was unresponsive as well, would not go into download mode, even tried the battery thing..
This link, One-Click Unbrick
Try that and see if it works for you, make SURE you have the latest Java.
My phone wasn't completely black, I had the Phone to PC error, but I could NOT get it to get into download or even see that something was plugged in. It was unresponsive to everything. I tried this program and BAM, I'm back into bootlooping. Shut my phone off, turned on in bootloader and reinstalled everything.
You MAY have to reinstall somethings so you might have to go back to square one, however at least you'll have a working phone.
Kies also bricked my first Galaxy.
Hopefully the One-Click unbrick will work for you! I wish you good luck!

Samsung may replace the phone for you, call and tell them it bricked while using kies. For future reference do NOT use kies ever again, it is known to brick devices. If your phone is getting no power at all, then calling Samsung is your only choice and hope they replace it for you. I wish I would have known you were planning to use kies, definitely would have warned you not to. You can look into buying a usb jig for your phone, they are under $5 and maybe could help. You can also make them yourself for around 1 dollar.

The phone is out of warranty so I'm sure if they'd replace it or charge me to fix it.
The jig thread said it didn't work if you are completely unresponsive.
I'd used Kies on my Wife's Captivate and had no problems so I didn't know it would wonk up my sons Vibrant.
I'll try out the 1 click method and update.
Thanks again for the advice. (My son is using his old Nokia Nuron again so he at least has a phone in the interim.)

Yea you could be right about the warranty issue but it was Samsung's program that screwed up your phone. If you haven't called them already, I would call and explain that you would still have a working phone if it wasn't for kies bricking your device. After all, Samsung recommends us to upgrade through kies even tho it has caused more damage than good from my experience. It's worth a try, you never know.

Just so you know, we recently had another member that hard bricked his phone using kies and was also out of warranty with T-Mobile. He called Samsung and explained THEIR program/software rendered his phone useless. He got a brand new vibrant out of the deal.

Hi everyone,
New user here unable to find the answers via search, I've been sifting through thread back n forth for some time, so hoping someone can give me a little assistance.
I have a Bell(SGH-I747) Model S III, and I've seemed to Soft-Brick the phone.
I'm unable to get it to detect to the PC via USB.
This occurred while removing the cable from the phone, while the Reset bar was blue in Odin(Progress bar was completely green).
When I perform the Hold Home + Down then press Power for 2 seconds, I'll get a display for a moment saying Samsung.
The same occurs when I do the Hold Home + Up then press Power for 5 seconds.(although some times it will just vibrate while I do this)
I've removed the battery, and attempted it again then upon plugging it into the USB cable I got a flash of a battery picture.(But still no driver detection).
If anyone can help out I would be very grateful.
First off you hold home + up then power until Samsung screen appears then you release POWER ONLY, that should get you to recovery, the same applies for download mode, dont release home or volume until one of these modes come up, is your phone booting up fine but not connecting to pc? Or what you didn't explain too well, if thats all its doing then all you would have to do is download your drivers on pc, Kies will do this, explain a little better please

Thrasher,
I just removed the battery, held down home + up then power for 5 seconds. I than received a blink of the recovery screen(it says in blue text top left reading device then goes blank)
When I hold home + down then power for 2 seconds. It just blinks the Samsung screen.
I originally installed the drivers using SGS3 International Tool.
Also what is Kies?
Whoa whoa thats where you messed up you shouldn't be trying to root via the International tool, because you DON'T have the international version. If you can get into download mode which is the same way of recovery except the down volume button then id suggest doing the no trip root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426, nothing for the international works with our phones, NOTHING. Go there and follow instructions see if you can get it, read thoroughly and make sure you download the bell version only

Sorry I have no solution for you, but I had similar (or worse) result after trying install kernel, not knowing that there is a different section on the forum for non-international phones...first attempt got me to where you are, except I could get into download mode, then after second attempt flashing something else, I managed completely brick the phone, to the point that it would not display anything, no vibration, no led light, totally dead.
Hopefully it was still under 30 days warranty.
P.S. wish we had some kind of color marked topics for each carrier, like ATT would be blue, Verizon red, Sprint - yellow (orange), etc...
I did the same thing last night and freaked out, but I found a solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1727171
If you can't get into download mode, remove your sd card, that's what I had to do.
Note: the link is for sprint phones only, but its basically the same fix with a different file.

I was referring to general and q&a sections.
Okay so I've managed to resolve the issue by taken the matter in a little into my own hands, as well as with the assistence of you friendly folk here at XDA : ).
First - Removed the previous device drivers and the original rooting software I had installed.
Second - Removed the battery out of the device for several minutes, and the usb cable from the PC
Third - I downloaded/installed KIES & Odin v3.07 & stock firmware listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Fourth - Place the device in download mode, by holding the home key and down on the volume,then by pressing the power button.
Fifth - Run KIES and connect the device through the USB Cable(KEIS should install the correct drivers this way)
Sixth - Run Odin leave pre-selected Auto-Reboot & F.Reset Time, Check off PDA and Open Stock Rom
Lastly - Let Odin do it's thing & dance around your room while you achieve success
:highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:
Thats exactly what i wanted you to do, congrats! Now only flash stuff for your device which would all be in the att development forum since they are basically the same phone, youll just have to manually put in bell apns

Mistakenly posted this over in the I9100 forum first.
I tried to root an S2 with ODIN and siyah. Afterwards it worked but I noticed that the splash screen showed I9100 (I used the I777 file). Anyway, I later realized that the guy i bought it from had left stuff on it (he reset without wiping). I decided to wipe it and now it won't go past the splash screen and won't go into download mode that I can tell.
I was told in the other forum that I will most likely require a jig to get it to work. Considering I can't even root the thing right, I will probably buy one instead of making one. Does it matter what model of S2 it is on the jig? I see some that say I9100 but not I777. I just want to make sure if i order one I get the right thing.
What did you try to get it to download mode?

To get into Download Mode, I held down the down volume, the home button and the power button. The splash screen comes up but just goes blank after that. I'm afraid I may be out of luck.

The sticky I am looking at doesn't coincide with what you are saying, which may be why I am confused. The guide says:
Boot into download mode by this method:
With the phone powered off, plug in the usb cable while holding the vol up + vol down buttons (but not the power button).
When the warning screen appears, press Volume up to continue into download mode.

Which is not giving me a dang thing. Doing your method or any other method only gives me the splash screen then black again.

Sorry. Volume up down and power is for recovery. Volume up down and plug in usb is download. The only way this would have changed on your device is if you flashed primary or secondary bootloader from the i9100
But based on what you said before is that you were following the i9100 method to get into the different recovery and download mode, since the i777 doesn't have a physical home button like the i9100

Well, I followed a video from galaxys2rootdotcom that said it was for I777 and the file I used said I777 but after doing it, the splash screen said I9100. If I hold down the powerbutton and or other buttons while it is not plugged in, I get the splash screen with the exclamation then it goes off. If I try it while it is plugged in, I get a grey battery icon. Sounds like best bet is a jig?

Sounds like your battery is extremely drained. Try leaving it in the phone overnight and then use the wall charger in the morning.

Red - that was my initial thought but it was fine before I did the wipe and I did try charging it some. Also, when I did the wipe, it was plugged in, which makes it odd that it would die. I'll certainly give it a try.
One thing I noticed at home that I had not seen here (it was too bright to notice) was that it does indeed seem to be stuck in a loop. The screen flashes a little brighter every few seconds before going dim again. At this point, it doesn't seem that I have much option but to wait to try to use the jig to get it in download more *fingers crossed*, and then swear to never get advice from rooting from anywhere but here.
I got my jig in and immediately went into download mode, which was a relief. I went to try to reset to stock using the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659 .

Got it working now - looks fine!
So i have done the research and i can't find ne thing. i have tried the button combination volume up volume down and power. and it just takes me to the download mode screen. the only way i can get into recovery is if i use one of the apps. i'm using the tracfone version of the phone. also when i have my phone unhooked from everything and i have it turned off the battery shows up on the screen. its weird lol. i'm running jellybean on it.

It can be a software problem do a factory reset or install other rom and try again if it does not work so we can say that is a hardware failure

Tracfone... you mean the 959G from Straight Talk? If so, then yes; there's an entire thread devoted to your device you'd be wise to read through before doing anything else to your phone.
Regarding the recovery method, you have to hold all 3 buttons at the same time until you see the Samsung logo.

i do that and it just goes do the download mode.
Are you doing the three-finger-salute with the phone UNPLUGGED from a PC or power source?
for the i777, it's an important difference.
plugged in will take you to download mode,
unplugged will take you to recovery mode.
