Well you have to try to enter download mode first.
If the jig doesn't work, your Note is done for. Good rule of thumb is, if you are even 1 % unsure, WAIT IT OUT.
dude that sucks. bad.

That's what you should have done in the first place. You might be better off trying to get a warranty replacement. If the phone is bricked, they won't be able to tell if you tried to do something to it anyway. Just an idea. Hope you learned your lesson. Should have been a given.

About a half hour of reading in the first place would have saved you the 600+ dollar paperweight you just created. In a half hour, you could effectively figure out that n7000 ROMs are a big no-no for the i717, learned how to root your i717, learn how to flash CWM on your i717, and flash an i717 ROM to your i717.
Not to condone screwing over AT&T, but I would suggest you do the following, if you by chance have the monthly insurance on your phone: report it lost or stolen, pay the $200 deductible to order a new one, then take your old one which is now completely useless, and smash it with a hammer, run it over with your car, burn it, spray paint it, burn it again, smash it some more, wrap a strip of firecrackers around it and light it off, use it for target practice for the nearest firearm or paintball gun, then put it in a display case to keep in a prominent location in your home or office as a reminder of what a lack of reading can do to your device. Then, while you are waiting patiently for your new i717 to arrive in the mail, take the time to READ everything you can about your specific phone so you know every in and out of it before it is in your hands.
All joking aside, the best you can probably do is report it lost or stolen, order a new one, and then see if somebody needs it to try out JTAG repairs for the Note. I'm not sure if JTAG has been accomplished on the i717 yet, but that's probably the most use your phone will ever provide again.

It's probably best to do it through att warranty as it will be added to their refurbished units.

No one has even asked the guy what his description of s brick is...cause everyone throes that word around like it means whenever your phone is in a state of not being able to use it
Op does your phone do ANYTHING AT ALL? bootloop, hang at splash screens, only show charging symbol when plugged in? All of those aren't bricks and are recoverable
If your phone just sits there and does absolutely nothing, nothing at all, like a corpse, then that and ONLY that is a brick.
What exactly id your phone doing?

Does anyone have any experience with jtag and unbricking? I ask because after bricking two phones, a third probably won't go over so well with the warranty dept. I'm willing to pick up a jtag jig so that I can keep developing but I'd like to pick the brain of someone with experience in this area before I do so. Possibly someone with the hardware already whose willing to soft brick and attempt a recovery. I know its a lot to ask but if we have
a definite way to unbrick we can really go at it. Plus I'd be willing to use the jig I pick up to attempt unbricking for others if they soft brick while devving.

qhusb_dload? I tried by doing the wire trick (like for s-off). I figured if I could get that I'd be able to recover but it wasn't working for me. Is there another way?
Right now I get no indication that the phone has any signs of life, no power on at all and not even a charge led. I have another one on its way but I really don't want to try for three strikes. I'm thinking I'm going to stay s-on for devving. It should be harder to brick then.

yep thats the one. if you could get it into download mode then you can flash a stock recovery and stock hboot back on. but like you said, there was no life at all. it sounds like you did what i did. :/
i dont think you need to worry about how many you are RMA'ing. im on my 3rd now. 2 HW failure and this one has a bad screen.

It would still be nice to have a solid way of unbricking. If I keep sending them back with the same exact problem I feel they would get suspicious eventually. Plus the new one I just got is pretty flawless so far, no dead pixels or anything so I'd like to keep it.
I have a new CM build sitting here right now that I'm terrified to try. Haha. So if you're uh sending the one with the bad screen back and want to try a couple things out first...
Yea that would be sick if we could get this to work. Probably, to find a JTAG/Uart port, we would have to take the board out of the device. I don't really wanna do it to mine since I wouldn't know how to put it back together

for those having problems with roms pre vramc3 and are having boot loop problems I would recommend getting a usb jig on eBay or Amazon or making one.

It'll save you a ton of time dealing with those finicky pit files and spending hours on Odin.
Then you can download whatever stock Rom and flash it with Odin!

Keep it up though man you'll be fine just please stop with the JTags and JIGs lol

I was having trouble getting TWRP to recognize my SD Card so I downloaded an updated version from goomanager. Flashed in TWRP, rebooted and the phone never came back up. It seems as though its dead. Can't get it to go in to recovery or download or anything. Did I brick it?

At this point I am assuming I did not install the right one. I have never updated via goo before. When I used it to search for roms it on;y showed me roms for my phone, so I assumed it was only showing me recoveries for my phone as well.
I believe it was this one openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-t03g.zip
After searching the goomanager website, I do see the phone specific recoveries have the phone name in the file name. DANG
2.5 is the most recent. You said no response to power button. What happens when you connect to your pc?

2.5 is the most recent, but like I said, now that I've searched the web, I am reasonably sure the file I flashed was not specific to my phone.
Nothing happens when I connect it to my PC.
Sorry Amigo, that's a brick. But you can get it repaired. The repair is called JTAG and its not a do-it-yourself job. You send the phone away and a week later and $50 later you get your phone back. www.mobiletechvideos.com has all the details.

I was afraid of that. MY fault for not learning more about goomanager. It wasn't something I used much, and it bit me.Thanks for the help and the link.

I thought JTAGs weren't available for the Note?

JTAG isn't a thing. Its a process where inputs are soldered to the mainboard and the OS is flashed directly to the ROM.

Not sure how you attempted to upgrade but if you choose "flash ROM" it will ask you if you want to search for a recovery. If you input yes it finds the proper file for your device.

I am admittedly a "stupid user" as many posts on these forums will show, but I think this is what happened to me as I have flashed many many roms, but when I tried to update to 2.5 TWRP I created a shiney door-stop.
I had updated before manually but thought, wow, goo manager looks more simple and dependable.
I could be wrong! No way to tell for sure. But I "feel" like this also happened to me.
I think it is the right thing to voice it as a concern.

Could i trim the quotes a lot more? Yea. And I will. Could you find something better to do with your time, than to go on a one man crusade and remake XDA in your likeness?
Next time, instead of sounding like a judgmental 12 year old girl, send a PM and make a "suggestion", listing the reasons its hetter for XDA, and ultimately, yourself. But it's not your role, its not your job, to ensure others are typing the way you like.
Hey buddy, relax. I was agreeing with you about getting jig and JTAG mixed up. Notice my patient response to your question.
Why are you getting so worked up? So why didn't you follow your own suggestion about PMs? Your rant sounds a little harsh. Who put you in charge of calling out people you don't agree with.
That thing about quotes is my signature line. How many people quote a huge post to only answer one line from the post? How often in a face-to-face conversation do you repeat everything a person said? Everyone would think you're on drugs. The reason the search function is usless is because of the needless quoting by lazy people.
If the signature bothers you, you probably need to follow the advice.

I was having trouble getting TWRP to recognize my SD Card so I downloaded an updated version from goomanager. Flashed in TWRP, rebooted and the phone never came back up. It seems as though its dead. Can't get it to go in to recovery or download or anything.

I almost did the same thing today! Used the Goo Manager app and it started downloading twrp 2.5, and I started thinking, isn't there a 2.6? Then I realized, even more importantly, that the file did not have i717 in the name, and I knew past versions had. I thought the app was going to automatically install and reboot (according to the teamw.in website), but thankfully my internet was slow and I was able to cancel the download about 30 seconds in. Scary stuff.
I would definitely NOT recommend trusting this app to download recovery. Do it the "old-fashioned" way.
