[Q] Nexus S Hard Bricked!

Hello everyone! Today I accidentally flashed a stock ROM (with stock bootloader) of Samsung i9020T on my Samsung i9023 and the result is that no longer turn on! Do you think I can solve with an USB Jig? If there were no other chances, can I send it to Samsung assistance?
P.s. sorry for my english

Can you get to download mode?

No, I cannot access either to the fastboot mode, or in recovery!! To access to download mode, I ordered an USB Jig on ebay, but it will arrive next week! Do you know if it works?
Thanks

There is a gnu/linux tool called unbrickableMod by adam outler, it can be found from android development section. Try that.

Because i red this on the thread:
If your phone is showing anything on-screen, this tool is not for you.

Do you know if I can repair my Nexus using an USB Jig to enter in download mode?

Hi Cesco, sorry for your problem. I thought that if the rom would have been not suitable for the phone it would have advice you. Can I ask you the link of the jig you bought? I think is good to always have one...

Hi, I bought it on ebay.it! I can't post the link beacuse i'm new on XDA so I write it without http: bit.ly/wSobGE
I installed the rom through CWM Recovery and it doesn't say anythink! The ROM is Gingerbread Stock 2.3.1 for Samsung Nexus S i9020! What do you think about?
Thanks!

Thank you Cesco! I think that if it doen't turn on, there's not other choice to use the Jig to turn it in download mode!
Anyway, are you the cesco of androidiani.com? If you solve you problem, you have to implement unbricking in your tool!

Ok, but I'm not sure that I can solve with the JIG!
Yes, I'm on Androidiani.com, but my tool can't solve an hard brick because are needed the JIG Usb and (if it works) ODIN Downloader, to reflash the bootloader.
If I can resurrect my phone I could write a tutorial to help the users with a problem like the mine..
Anyway I haven't yet figured out if, with the jig is 100% sure that I solve this problem. Have you never used it?
Thanks!

No, Cesco. I'm a lucky man and never needed this Jig. But you know, for only 3euros I want to be ready for the worst. I usually flash a lot. Let me know if it work!

Ok, last question, I found a post on androidiani.com says that in this case, the jig is not working, so, do you think that Samsung assistance accepts it?

I really don't know the warranty policy, but consider the warranty as the last thing. Try that jig, then you'll see what to do. The pc cannot see the phone plugged to usb neither with the PdaNet?
Try to open a thread on androidiani, maybe there's someone that have had your same experience!

I had the same problem, not turning on my phone. I fixed it with that tool. That helps to turn on device to the bootloader mode. And we can flash boot loader and recovery from their.

[Q] [HELP] Boot loop. Need help regarding PIT file

Hi all.
My note (GT-N8000 16GB version) stuck in boot loop and i can't access recovery mode, only download mode available. I'm doing some research regarding this and found that maybe the solution is by installing PIT file. I found pit file for my device in here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41158546#post41158546
I know that installing wrong PIT file will bricked my device for real. So before I'm doing some flashing I want to ask some question here for confirmation:
1. Did the Russian pit file on above link work to all GT-N8000 16GB in every region? my region is XSE
2. How to install the PIT file? I read somewhere that I need to load it along with stock 4.0.4 ROM from my region and then tick repartition check box. Is that the correct way?
Please help. I'm noob here. I really need some guidance. thanks

I am having the same issue.Why will a PIT file will stop the bootloop?
My Tablet charges and charges while it remains in a loop between srarting and recovery....back and forth. It never boots to Andriod and never enters recovery. Like you I can use the start and volume up key to enter download mode but it does not download anything through Odin or Flasher. Any help will be a ggodsend.
Thanks Anybody.......I have be working on it for a month. I am out of ideas.

Phone Dead, Need Assistance

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I tries to root my H810 ATT LG G4 and messed up somewhere along the process. Now my phone does not turn on, show anything or do anything. When it is connected to the computer it shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB Qdloader 9008, so there might be some hope. I've looked all over for system images for the H810 variant and tried to use the PR version from teh mega thread, but no luck as it might be corrupt.
If anyone can provide any guidance, it is much appreciated, I am at a wall.

Do you know where I can find an intact stock Rom? I tried the PR version and tried extracting it but the KDZ extractor says it was corrupt.

Further, is it possible to find the HEX file to flash?
Thanks

OPO recovery tool issue

Hi all ,
I'm having issues with the OPO recovery tool while trying to fix my hard bricked device.
After going through all the steps described in the original post, the device line lights up green apparently meaning that the device is unbricked. Yet now the phone is stuck at the one plus logo with nothing else happening. I am able to boot into fastboot mode but that's the extent of it.
I would really appreciate any help as I am getting really sick of my iphone 4 and can't really afford another phone.
Thank you

Thanks for your reply, I can't seem to find a working download link for it? Also on one website I found an "incremental update" that needs the previous version to work. Would appreciate any input as I'm not very good at this. Thank you!

Pixel Bricked & replaced - old phone returned - can i revive it somehow?

Hi all,
My Pixel bricked a few months back & was still under warranty. It was replaced & I've just today received the original bricked phone back to my surprise.
When plugged in via USB it shows as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
QFIL detects it but I can't find any .xml, .mbn, .hex files to flash it with.
Can i copy anything of the working phone (exact same model), to my laptop to then revive the bricked phone?
Thanks in advance for your advice...

Any luck with this? My girlfriend's Pixel is stuck in this mode as well. I can't find these files anywhere on the net. She's starting to get a little cranky.....please help!

Thanks for the reply. How and when do these files usually get released? Do you advise I keep the device in hopes that I will be able to revive it in the near future?

I wouldn't advise keeping it. They honestly will probably never be released, sadly.

Your right, IF you have a working bootloader. The op does not.

I was having this same issue. Currently running crDroid and selected the Reboot Recovery option from the advanced Power Menu. It turned off but didn't come back on. Tried booting into the bootloader but got nothing. Plugged it into my PC and saw the same device description then realized I probably had a hard brick. I was about to give up when I decided to just hold the power button alone and after about 20 seconds it booted normally. Looks like I dodged a bullet.
