Try this: Remove the battery, press the power button for 10 seconds, insert the battery and try to go to download mode.

None of the above methods worked i think its dead i think i will have to take phone to service centre it was under warranty period, i donot think they can come to know that the phone was rooted

Bad luck :/ Tell them that you were updating the phone with kies and after that it didnt started.

you are most likely right, as the phone does not boot, they either reflash it with their special flashing gear (not sure if that works with g3 since someone experimentied with usb jig already) or change the mainboard like was already reported by others with dead bootloaders.
next time remove boot.bin and sbl.bin from any rom you flash to keep you out of such trouble.

USB jig only works in soft brick... (just for our phone i mean)
I've send my phone back to warranty, its only way i found...

My phone once went accidently into washing machine ,became compleletly wet,but after drying it was absolutely fine,but it might have changed color of liquid damage indicator that time and so company might not gave warranty now can any1 tell where is the liquid damage indicator (LDI) located in our galaxy3 ? so that i can check it before going to company.
EDIT : Found it... LDI was situated below the USB port on the inside of backcover as white square paper seen after opening up the phone ,it was still white in my cell fortunately

Don't worry about service center they repaired my hard bricked phone and my warranty was still valid after rooting and flashing froyo

Strange that nobody came up with the hairdrier method, sounds strange, but also works on sgs:
Open battery cover and remove battery
Use a hairdrier to heat your device where the battery used to be
Replace battery and use 3bc to boot into download mode.
I take no response if this method does not work, explode or melt your phone or impregnate your house pig...

Fully bricked Captivate? Please, help! Tried many things..

Hi everyone,
Here's my problem :
Since some few days, my Captivate won't start up, and won't connect anymore.
The screen stays black!
I tried usually things : removing battery,sim,microsd, then pressing vol up, down and power, connecting with ODIN3.. Nothing happends.
It was bricked after a custom ROM update. I did format data, cache and .. system ! As usually, because I tought formatting system was necessary. Maybe it was the wrong thing that made it crashes..
So, I thank you a lot for bringing me any help !!

could you give pls a little detail. as to what custom rom did you flashed, is it the froyo rom or ginger rom? and elaborate further on what did you do when this happens it might give other people here some more understanding on how to help you. If your your phone won't power at all and the soft bottons won't light up and won't respond with key combos or even a jig you likely had a perma brick as in hard brick.!!......If you are still on warranty no worries just tell them that your phone suddenly dies and that you have no clue what happens to it.
You can also try this if you like read the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020976&page=3
Thanks for your answer!
I flash many of my phones, so, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of ROM it was! I also try many of those I can find on XDA.
Here's what happens :
Had formatted data,cache, and system. Then, flashed the ROM, and selected "reboot". Just after that, I was making coffee.. So, I came back 5 min after, and the phone was .. dead!
After many, many, many Captivate's ROM flashes (maybe 70 !?), first time it happends!
The phone is no more under warranty, so I can't do anything..
Btw, what is a "jig" ? Heard alot that word but..
And thanks for the thread, but I don't think there's a solution in it!?
I will browse it tomorrow, thanks
Thanks again for help!

The jig is usually the last resort for some. That is if holding volume up and volume down then plugging in the usb cable into your phone ( the other end being already plugged into your computer) does not put it into download mode.

U can either buy a jig from someone like mobiletechvideos on YouTube or make one urself using resistors (tutorials are scattered around the forum). U plug it into ur micro USB slot and it will put ur phone onto download mode. This works if ur phone is soft bricked and it may not work for u but definitely worth a try

Sounds like you flashed a single bootloader and hard bricked your phone. Either jtag it or buy a new one...
JIG2WIN4LIFE if you can still turn on your phone without a perma black screen anyways
Hi,
I took a look over "JIG" on eBay, and found it for approx. 8 $.
But it says it can be used for ALL cases, at the exception if the screen stays black ! And that's my case..
So, do I have to buy it anyway, or is it really dead?
I don't want to buy another one!
Thank you.
sometimes the jig works, if you take out battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS, put in jig. worked for me.
BUT your phone is under 1 year old. it has a warranty. if it happens to get broken in a way that they cant tell, and can never read the phone again... you get a [email protected]!!!
think speaker magnet or
2 seconds in the microwave 1 or 2 times MAX.. dont want phisical dammage! and there is plenty of electronic parts to get messed up very easy this way

Wow, nuking it will cover your tracks if they try to access anything on it?
if it is electrically damaged and wont work, they cant access it, and they cant see your tracks...
and my buddy nuked a phone before, to destroy it for fun, there were sparks immediatly. if that happens the phone aint going to work anymore. so do it in very short bursts. you do not want any physical damage.
or wave it in-front of a LARGE magnet to degause it until it doesnt boot anymore.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but my phone is no more under warranty..
There was no warranty when I bought it from USA (on eBay), and I'm living in Belgium! So, no way
I will have to try the JIG then.. I suppose it's my last chance
yup jig is your last chance..
now the other day i bricked and the jig wouldnt work either unitl I found a trick that helped my jig work. this worked FOR ME in my situation. not all.
remove battery count to 5 and replace battery
DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS
put in jig. download mode!!!!
if i touched ANY button the jig would not work. worth a shot.
jigs are about 8$ on ebay or can be made with a few resistors for a couple dollars. (or whatever currency you have in Belgium). there are many threads on how to make them in the captivate forums on xda here. just make sure not to touch the resistors with your fingers if you make one. use tape to hold it.!! good luck buddy!
Thanks a lot!
I will buy a JIG on eBay then.. It would be safer!
We are using Euro currency in Belgium . So, a JIG is approximately 6 €.
It's a cheap price for this kind of tool! But by the way, HTC has much more solutions to unbrick their devices..

[Q] Is my Sensation dead?

Hi guys!
I'm Running Leedroid 2.3.0 on my sensation since 2.3.0 was released.
I'm CWM v4.0.1.4 (charging fixed! blue text) on it.
The Phone ran perfect until yesterday. I didn't overclock and didn't do any other special tweaks, i used it as it was.
Yesterday i used google maps navigation for about 5 - 10 minutes. after that the phone was really hot. I stopped navigation and killed google maps with the stock task manager.
I put the phone into my pocket, about 20min later i noticed the phone turned off. it was still a little bit warm.
Now the phone doesn't turn on anymore. when i plug in the charger, nothing happens. not even the orange led turns on. absolutely nothing.
i've tried all combinations off pulling the battery, left it out for som time and plug it in again. try to charge....
No chance - the phone seems to be dead.
I've got no idea if it is a hardware or a software problem. how can i find out?
What can i do?
I think my warranty is void by rooting and flashing the custom rom.
You should check first if the Battery or the phone is the problem. Try getting another battery that u can try out. If it is not working, then probably your phone is dead. However, I would replace it with warranty. Since it's dead they can not turn it on and check if u modded it. Maybe they can detected that if they would take out the mainboard and connect it to some JTAG device, but I'm 99.9% sure they will not do this. Imagine the costs of doing this with every phone they get for replacement... It's not easy to detect if the Software on the phone was manipulated once the phone is dead due to a hardware defect.
What you can also try ist connect it to usb port on PC and try turning on. Does the PC detect anything?
PC doesn't detect anything.
I tried another battery today, same problem.
Do you think it is a hardware problem?
It may have gotten so hot it damaged some of the hardware. Like he said up there ^ take it to Tmobile and ask them to replace it. These things are notorious for overheating anyways so your story will be believable.

agreed. warranty, warranty, warranty
i think it is best for you to bring back to the tmobile store to get it check or get a new replacement. dont answer too much questions if they ask because they might try to look for away to void your warranty or refuse for service.
I'll bring it to t-mobile tomorrow.
I got a new one.
T-Mobile replaced it.

[Q]Galaxy R shuts down immediately after I turn it on

Hello.
I am new here but I've been lurking for a while even before there was a dedicated area for the SGR. This might be a long read since I put in a lot of details. Now, straight to my point.
My fone is new. Not even a month from purchase. Never rooted since I'm afraid I might brick it since I'm not well inclined with technology.
It was ok when I got it but the problem started to occur a few days ago.
When I turn on the fone, it goes past the samsung animation part then, the screen goes all black,even if i press any button, I assume it's turned off.
What I tried:
1. Tried lodging a small piece of paper in the battery area because I thought it was a terminal problem. (did not fix it)
2. Cleaned gold plated contacts of the battery and it's phone counterpart. (did not fix it)
3. Factory Reset the thing by pressing vol up+mid button when turning on. Deleted ALL of my things in the fone but the problem is still there.
So, when the fone "dies" on me, even if I don't take out the battery, it will turn on but it will prolly turn off again as soon as 10 secs after the samsung animation part. When I take out the battery, sometimes it will operate normally but, it will turn off again randomly. The past few days have been very tasking for me. I think I'm going crazy....
What I've done to the fone since getting it:
1. install a custom skin from Market
2. install some social media apps and messenger apps
3. installed a passcode thing to make things private
4. installed games via ASTRO. (download apk from net + put in SD card via USB + install via ASTRO)
5. installed kies into my laptop and connected the fone. Also via Kies Air
6. Restored the fone to factory settings by pressing vol up+middle button when turning fone on.
Just a few minutes ago, when the fone was starting up, I saw a WHITE TRIANGLE with a (!) in the middle on the upper left area of the screen but it was gone in a few secs.
My fone data:
model num gt-i9103
android ver 2.3.5
baseband ver i9103xxki2
kernel ver [email protected]#3
build num gibgerbread.jpki3
My dilemma:
1.I live in the Philippines and the fone was purchased in Qatar. I can send it back but maybe as a LAST RESORT, shipping costs would be quite expensive....
2. SGR is not released here in my home country so I doubt if I can get proper support. Even screenguards are not available here for this model.
Again, I apologize for the VERY LONG read but I tried me best to put in every detail I can to help solve my problem. I look forward to seeing your replies. Please feel free to ask me further details to help you help me. Happy New Year.
PS:
I alos tried calling the fone after it does it's shutdown thing and I think it really dies because it's not ringing like it should be when the fone is turned on.
When I think everything is ok and peachy, I start watching MVs in youtube but, after like 20mins, the fone just turns off by itself. I know it's off because there is no sound coming out so I doubt that the screen just "Sleeps". Thank you again.
Hi, there were more people with the problem you described above. Unfortunately I'm afraid it ended up with service. But since you have an international warranty you may try to contact samsung customer service and ask if you can send your phone directly to them in Philippines instead of shipping it to Quatar first.
exactly my problem.. I gave it to the Samsung service centre, they changed the motherboard of the phone, but still, the problem was there. The new motherboard was also faulty.. They are again changing the motherboard of the phone.. lets see what happens now.
Thank You for your replies. I will try to put up a vid so I can give you lot a better "picture" of the situation.

Does the Galaxy R have firmware files up on www.sammobile.com yet ?
If yes , you can try flashing a firmware with Odin3

Hello.
If I upgrade it to the latest using odin, will it void the warranty?

I think it could be hardware failure.
Download n flash the latest ROM and then get a USB Jig to reset the flash count.
Then bring it to ur nearest Samsung service centre and get it fixed or replaced.

I have already removed the paper I put on the battery area since I'm certain it's not a contact problem.
When the device shuts off after I turn it on, I press the power button the same way as I usually do.

I decided to go to the Service Center today after work. I hope they confirm the problem and hopefully be able to fix it. I will be updating this thread as soon as I can. Thank you for all your inputs.

If you have SD card inside, can you remove it and try to start your phone? You can also format the SD card in PC.
Just a wild guess, not harm in trying!!

I want to flash the taiwan rom/update....
I want to know if it will be compatible with my device even if it's stock rom is arabic.....
Will my download counter increase if I use odin and flash the official Samsung taiwan rom/update? I can't risk this because I don't think there is a USB jig for GSR here in my country.
Thank you for all the input guys.
Guys!
I tried something "extreme" well sort of.
I removed the simcard. and the phone did not auto shut off!!! I tried 2 sims of local carriers, same problem, same results.
No sim card so far no shut off.
Sorry for the language but, my mind is so full of **** right now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I spoke too soon, it still died even without the simcard but, the white triangle with (!) on the upper left side is gone without the sim.
What I tried so far:
No sim + no sd card = still auto shutdown
No sim + 2gb sd card from box = still auto shutdown
this is driving me nuts.

Suggestions to my dead i9023...

What can I do? I saw in some places some suggestions, like this:
1- Take battery and chip out.
2- Hold power button for ten seconds ("to remove any energy power")
3- Put battery and chip back
4- Plug at the charger
5- If Google Logo is on the screen, sucess, if not...
---
Some guys said that I should use JTAG/JIT
I saw in someplace that theses box are expensive, I do not have them...
---
Soo if someone here know something to help... Tell me!
Oh, my phone is dead because I take the battery out when the phone was starting. :angel:
Samsung should send me a Galaxy Nexus, this would be perfect. And the phone is a little bit old, so, samsung "can't" do nothing.
Edit: I was running 4.2 from forum.
Pulling battery while at Google logo instantly burns your motherboard, so your phone is absolutely dead. If you still have your warranty, Samsung will repair it! Same happened to me

You make it sound like any battery pull during that time will kill a Nexus. I've pulled my battery countless times, during the whole boot process from Google first logo to boot animation end and my Nexus still works fine. It doesn't absolutely instantly burn the motherboard, lol...
But anyway, if it's physical damage, adam outler ressurector won't do anything. That's only good for warranty.
Yup, I'll try to see if Samsung "can" help me...

I really like the Nexus S and Samsung should give another phone, I did make anything bad, just took the battery off, I didn't see some warning in the box saying that. This is anoying! I'll try to convice them to give me another, if not... Maybe I have to sue them...

Bootloop after water drop

Hello,
so my sister droped her phone in water and gave it to me to repair it. Because it didn´t boot up at all I cleaned the motherboard with isopropanol. After this I charging worked but I was still stuck in the powered by android screen. (The phone tries to reboot every 10 seconds or so). I did flash twrp and could save all of her data via mtp. After that I tried to flash a custom rom, a stock rom with samsung smart switch and a stock one via odin. It always did work but the phone is still stuck in the powered by android screen and wont boot up
Is there anything left I can do or is the phone lost?
Thank you very much for your help!
Looks like too much mess with hardware, do youself a favour and do not mess with it anymore and get a help from 3rd party service (not samsung ofc, they would charge you a hell of a lot)
Sounds really familiar. I do repair phones for my work and a customer with a custom ROM had the same problem. I also tried everything, custom ROM, stock ROM, update, downgrade, etc... Nothing worked. Keeps rebooting. In the end a mainbord swap was the only solution. I'm afraid , especially after water damage , this could be the case with your s6.
