Hey guys, first post, first real major issue I've encountered well rooting a phablet.
I have a ATT galaxy note, yesterday I rooted it and installed the Saurom ROM, everything was a breeze, I decided to try out ICS, I accidentally installed Criskelo onto the device before finding out it wasn't okay for the ATT note.
It hung on installing the rom itself and so I removed the battery imagining I could just revert to Saurom til I found a new ICS rom. But after I interuppted the ROM from installing, I get NO POWER! No download mode, nothing whatsoever on the screen =[ I'm ultra sad, best solution I find for the note is possibly a USB jig but I don't know if it will bring me back from this...
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! I'm sitting here with a bricked note and a broken heart.
Don't be heartbroken just yet. This just happened to a friend of mine with his Note. I'm sending him your way. He's working today so I doubt he can get to you right away but I'm pretty sure he has the answer you need.

Have you tried accessing the phone with odin to see if it shows up there?
did you install CWM prior to flashing? try the three button combo to boot into recovery
did you backup prior to flashing ICS?

Some ROMs can damage the device's onboard flash. Surprisingly the Note is one of the few devices that you can actually physically break by flashing the wrong ROM.

You may need to contact mobile tech videos and get jtag unbricking service.
A bad flash happened to me in my first week of owning the phone so I was under the 30 day return policy with AT&T. I told them I was updating apps in the market, it got super hot, shut off, and would not power up.
They couldn't get it to turn on either, for obvious reasons, and they exchanged it no further questions asked. Hopefully your still in the return period.

I'm sorry to say you probably have a hard brick on your hands. There's more info in this thread. I did the same thing myself. studacris's answer is the only option, you'll need to send it to someone who can do a JTAG repair on it, or you need to hope it's under warranty and send it back to AT&T and tell them that it just plain broke.
All notes are under warranty from Samsung still. They are for a year of purchase date. note has not been out a year.
Normally when I've had a a phone brick on me or a friends phone when out of the 30 day period, I would call 611 and have them send me a phone and when I received the new one I would mail the bricked one. It wasn't a big issue since the phones have manufacture warranties. Now they opened a device support center near buy and you can go and get a new one that same day.

question for the OP's question, Samsung has that flash counter on the phone, I'm assuming with a bad flash like this it doesn't go up. But does it? And it if does, would Samsung be able to tell what happened? I know Samsung has a hard stance on flashers. To OP, I did the same thing, and I resorted to getting the JTAG thing done, the few places I've came across won't charge unless they can fix it. And they only charge like $50.
I tried jtag. Waste of money. They could not save my phone, plus they charged me $30 for looking at it.
Not to mention I lost out on my shipping.

The last resort is to try a Jig to force download mode. If that fails, you are done. You can look on your PC in the Device Manager. In there it will show you an "state" when you connect the device trying to get into Download Mode. Google that state. I am guessing you are getting the bad one which at this time is a device exchange.
Hey guys,
So I have hardbricked my Galaxy S3. This is solely my fault as I was being dumb (even though I want to blame it on staying up so late at night) and did not check to see what GS3 version the ROM I flashed was for. Turns out it was international and now my phone is a sitting brick.
The only observations that I have made is that my computers recognize the phone almost like any other device. I have installed the correct drivers and tried to use 2 computers (1 with Kies, 1 w/o) with no luck of fixing it. However, both computers recognize it as QHSUSB_DLOAD under Device Manager and create that faulty driver installed sound when plugged in. When I plug the phone in with the battery out, its LED turns red and will stay like that unless I try to turn it on with the power button. When I do try, my computers seen to recognize some sort of change with its connection the phone.
I spent all afternoon yesterday making a homemade jig with 3 100k resistors in a series soldered into pins 4 and 5 of a microusb connector which I then connected to the phone with no avail
I was hoping to make this thread to see who else has this problem and different observations and solutions. Does anyone know if a jig bought from a 3rd party will work? I do not necessarily want to take the steps to return/exchange the phone.
Thanks in advance.
Well I ended up calling Samsung and getting them to check it out. I didn't want to do it this way, but I'm basically left with no choice. I read that galaxy s2 owners who bricked also sent theirs in and received it without any problems. Samsung paid for 2nd day air both ways. Let's hope for the best.
From what I've read in other threads....when you get the QHSUSB_DLOAD...that's hardbricked. Mind sharing what you told Samsung what you did? I'm curious to see if they'll fix it....please update what happens. Oh and sorry for your loss.
and for future losses, if any, check this out.... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/#reviews

There is a "how to" in the android development section for helping reverse a brick from flashing international gsm rom.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
the how to doesnt apply here
It's only for flashIng a bad boot.img. in this state it's like hardware w/o any software. I think Samsung has to wipe it clean to fix it so the old "it just wouldn't turn on" should do.. and the jig is no good in this situation either f.y.i
Hello,
I recently got a friend's old Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) from Verizon, SCH-I500 EH03. This is the first Smart Phone I ever owned and I wanted to join the bandwagon, long story short I read xda-developers.com for a couple of days trying to absorb as much as I could and after all my faulty USB Cable messed it all up.
I was updating PIT and PDA through ODIN, Powerwashed and Atlas when my USB Cable got a little bit loose, I tried to put it back it and unfortunately it came out of the device, Odin errored out, phone froze and I got a Green Screen, not knowing what was going on and out of desperation and bad judgement I pulled the battery out.
Now I get a black pitch screen with no icons on it, Ive already researched for Soft Bricked and I do not get the Black Screen of Death, this is just Black. Computer doesn't recognizes phone at all, I've trying holding power button for a long time, removing battery or just using USB Cable but nada.
I' did some research on the Jig mod but it seems that it only works if you get at least something on the screen while all I get is a black screen.
I'm about to try to attempt doing this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206216 - The Captivate Development Platform AKA Unbrickable Mod.
Before I do so I'd like to know if there is any other alternative, I don't have much experience on electronics and I'm going to purely base my judgement and fix on the thread above me. I realized that my phone might be gone for good so why not give it a last try.
Thanks in advance for reading.

First of all you don't know nearly enough information. To have done that you always take your battery out before odining because it works better that way but none the less I will make it my goal too get you fixed. DO NOT SKIP ANY OF THIS . now first off go too the Samsung satire or whatever and buy you a Samsung USB cable made for your phone too lessen the chances of bad things happening now turn on Odin 1.3 you can find that anywhere on the web just search when you run Odin run it as admistator plug in your phone with the USB cord WITH THE BATTERY OUT and hold the volume down button it will show a symbol it can be any kind its just going too show a symbol now it will install device drivers or whatever and Odin will recognize it by showing a little yellow rectangle u deer one of the com's now put the atlas 2.2 pit in the pit section chackmark PDA put the powerwashed.tar in there AND CLICK REPARTICIAN YES CLICK IT. And now press start. Wait for it too finish it may take up too 20 in too flash factory.fs JUST WAIT IT WILL CONTINUE ITS SLOW. Now then when it says PASS unplug your phone from the USB put back in the battery hold the power button it will power up and do something release the power button it will do its thing then power up into power washed and there ya go YOUR PHONE IS UNBRICKED!!!!

Hello,
Thanks for the response.
I did try to run Odin without the battery but the phone wouldn't even turn on at all, Id like to think this was caused because the Cable I used was a generic one and not the Original Samsung one, I have ordered one Online from Ebay, one that is Branded Samsung and specially for this Phone, I will update this thread as soon as I get it and try your steps.
Once again thanks for your help.

I must admit it man, I knew you knew your stuff, but I had my doubts, Thanks a lot for your help, I'm truly grateful for your help. My phone is unbricked now.
I got a couple of questions for you if you don't mind,
Id like to have newest android but I'm not sure if this phone can support it, you seem to have the same phone number as I do.. what version of Android do you run.
And last but not least.. is it true that since the phone was vberizon and I want to use a different carrier I can only use the Voice Plan for it?, Data plan won't work on rooted phones unless I go to the original carrier, is this a myth or true?
Thanks once again for the amazing help, I'm truly happy!

Np This phone is one of the most supported phones out there and the fastest. Right now I'm getting performance as good as the galaxy s3. This phone can run ICS, jellybean, and even the new 4.2. Jellybean ROMs run the smoothest though. Just look and droidsytles guide section 4 it will tell you everything. I also have couple of ROMs up. Also it is a myth.

Okay, I will go to their location to complete the activation, one more and last thing, Which ROM do you run on your phone, I instaleld Paranoid Anroid JB 4.1 but I've read a few threads that it drains the battery so I was wondering if you could share what you use since you seem to know this phone pretty well.
Thanks for all the previous help, without you I would be using a really old phone right now

My phone has been activated, with a different carrier than Verizon which is the original carrier of the phone.
They have reset my Android OS back to stock... but phone finally works I guess is a good thing, if I want to go back to JB Paranoid Android 4.1 would I have to reactivate again after following Droidstyles guide? or can I just do the 4th steep and the phone will be ready to go.

If you should need to do it dial *22890 or *22891
That will get you past having to input a number option to activate

Almost perfection!.
Two more questions,
1- Is there anytihg else I would need to do, load a rom or tweak so DATA works? , I've activated my phone and Voice works perfectly fine, I can also send text messages and WIFI works.
2- Somehow my phone still thinks is with Verizon Wireless for some stuff such as Google Play Store it gives me the option to Add a Card, Redeem Code or Charge my Verizon Account?
Also when I turn on the phone the bottom of Jelly Bean Menu to unlock the phone shows Verizon Wireless, is this normal?

Hey guys,
my usb port is starting to act wierd. It refuses to charge unless at a certain angle. It seems it got damaged with all the plug/unplug it went through during its life.
I know that Samsung "Might " exchange the phone rooted, but i rather restore it to factory ICS from bell as i will be doing the exchange through them and they can be assholes sometimes.
What is the best way to completely restore it to stock to avoid any issues?
Use the samsung Kies method, check the general section to find it, remember to wipe flash counter first. If you can't find it let me know

USB Stopped working completely. Phone died so I braught it to the Samsung Service Center.
They initally refused to service it and delcared it out of warranty because i Rooted the phone. It took 1 hour of yelling so they could fix the DAMN usb port....
R.I.P. little note.....(sniff)
well they replaced the USB board apparently and restored it to Stock ICS 4.04
They told me that if i root my phone again, they will not repair it .
However i went into download mode, and still see my original 4 flash counts
Now, before I re-restore to Black Star, How Can i Backup The original Bell Recovery firmware?
If this is was an AT&T phone, you would have had a better experience at the AT&T device support center.
I honestly had this problem and JUST came back from the AT&T device service center with a BRAND NEW NOTE. SO, first off, I did have my phone rooted w/ cyanogenmod. I thought this would be a problem, so with what little battery power I had left, I downloaded the last zip on this webpage from the device (USB doesn't work, remember?) and wiped everything and flashed that stock rom. Went to the AT&T device support center right here in San Francisco. Told them what was wrong, they took a look at it, plugged it in, did what I think was a water damage check, and proceeded to give me a new note. I didn't even have to sign anything.
I was a little worried at first, because I bought my phone from a dude on craigslist back in March, but apparently this didn't matter. So, if you're on AT&T they did a surprisingly AWESOME job switching out my phone for one with a functioning USB port. Best of luck to you if you attempt to do this, the dude did do a cursory investigation of my phone's software, which I don't think was very thorough, but likely didn't notice that it was a cleaned up rom (aka, no att crap on it).
I don't get why Samsung thinks rom flashing has anything to do with physical hardware. Kind of unlightened? Or just looking for any excuse not to provide that repair? I'm sorry to hear they are so lame.
I bought my note from craigslist and 2 months later my charging port was having the same issues, I don't have att, but found the charging port on ebay for $20 and replaced it my self, easy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
it was a "authorized" service center.
What strikes me is the fact that they told me if i bring it rooted they wont fix it again, but they didnt reset the trip counter....
Exactly what rangercaptain says. Samsung should, if they don't already, pride themselves in the fact that when someone buys there device, it should be theres to discover, not forced/told what they have to use for an OS or have limitations in general. I was lucky enough to discover this accidentally. This now is a HUGE, perhaps only factor in my future purchases. That is after all what Google Android is about to me, freedom. Creativity stumbles in its absence. I do however wish there was a dedicated charge port. Or that going with a wimpy micro usb over even the mini usb was a bad thing. This being said, devices that last longer don't sell new ones well.
Sounds to me as the OP states certain angle to charge....Happens to me on all my devices, the cause, lucky for me has always been faulty/cheap worn out cords. I know have a pile of them on hand. Best luck and quality I find works for me are BlackBerry cords.

So last week my rooted note 2 suddenly died on me. I tried a few ways to get it back working (flashing to stock with Odin, ADB, different pcs, USB cables and ports etc) but my phone just couldn't communicate with any computer. So this morning I sent it to samsungs repair center. I'm just wondering what to expect. Will they see it's rooted and therefor it would be an out of warranty repair? Would that be the case if they only have to reflash the system ? Is it possible it's just needing a reflash or would this more likely be SDS and need a new Emmc chip/main board? Is it possible that the charging port went bad instead? What type of cost am I looking at? Anyone who's done a repair at samsung for this reason or similar. Thanks !
Some history: only could get into download mode and not recovery. When I power on it stays at the samsung text. When I try to charge it stays at the battery symbol and clear circle.
Let me know if you need any more info!
