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...

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

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..

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

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...

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.
glad they did!

Ok guys i have helped a lot of you out there but i need help this time.
Few days ago i accidently dropped my phone down but nothing happened that time.
Next day everything was fine until the day after when my phone suddenly switched off.i switched it on but after few minutes it became off again.then i tried to switch it on but nothing happened.
i tried removing battery and charging again but nothing happened.
but one strange thing was my battery was getting hot even when the phone was off.
i thought smth is wrong with battery and i bought a new one but nothing happened.
no download mode no recovery nothing....i mean nothing..........
So know i dont know whats wrong and its not even in warranty as i dont have bill and other things.
i went to a local shop but they said give it to us a we will find the problem but i am scared that there may be only minute problem for which they will charge like rs.500 to rs.1500 and may still not fix it.so i dont trust them.
so pls. help by telling me what could have happened and has this happened to anyone else??
and yeah i have not flashed clockwork mod.....i had chocobread 3.2........
maybe the battery leaked inside the phone and thats why it wouldnt on
thats why the battery was hot due to the chemical reactions taking place inside the battery.
try putting the new battery in and charging it for like 10 min and then on and see if it works.
try shaking the phone also to see if any part inside the phone is lose or broken
last option is give it for repair
PS: if u do know a lot about ur phone hardware try opening it and see whats wrong inside even though i got no idea what will happen coz ive never tried
best of luck
may be the screens cable broken..
It looks something that samsung care can fix...be ready to shell out some cash...
I would advise against unofficial service, atleast for smartphones...

Well its really f***in trouble man...
I'm guessing that your phones hardware are down, because of the impact... maybe the display flexible or the power supply that's going bad and that's why you're phone can't turned on again..
Battery shouldn't be problem, coz it charge and getting hot...
My advise is just go and repair it to the Samsung Service Center..
Just my little opinion..

Thanks guys but how much expense can I expect like from just damaged power supply to damaged chips?
I don't want to spend much as I am looking to buy s3 very soon.

My friend which is a phone technician told me that your problem is the IC Power (power supply)..
Just replace it with the new one ...
I'll guest its about 5 to 10 USD..
Sent from my Galaxy Fit
It should not cost too much. While i doubt that it would have anything to do with the battery (as ive dropped my phone several times over the past one yr ) id agree that you take it to the samsung service ctr. It may cost a little, but the fit is worth every penny

It seems the Power IC, however check the pins that connect battery with motherboard.
Hi guys,
my phone's charging pin is not working. I am unable to connect any charger properly. It is happening with 3 chargers and a usb cable. So, I need to replace the pin. But, I have no idea where to get it done. Suggestions please?
Also, is it possible that I can fix this problem by myself (maybe it is just dirt issue)? If yes, how do I proceed with that?
Okay, so I bought new charger, got the pin changed, and still the same problem. My phone doesn't charge while it still displays "Charging". It doesn't matter whether it is connected or not. It just says "Charging". I have done two clean flash, and same issue. Heck it happens even with DDLF2. So, I am out of ideas.
Someone help me here. My phone is a brick for past 2 days now.

holy hell. that is pretty much useless then.
If i were in your situation i would search Ebay for that part (Charging board).
And if possible with the tools including everything you need to disassemble the device.
If you're not experienced with phone repairs... Dont worry.
Check this i9003 Disassemble Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UW4T-aNkQY
The video shows that there is a Charging part.
Search for that part or dead / damaged devices.
Replace it and you're done.
If you want to go the hard way...
There are charging ports for 1$ or 2$.
If you have the proper tools its easy.
If not there are other ways. But it's very risky.

Thanks for the help. I did asked mobile repair shop here, and they are expecting 100rs.(less than 2$) to replace the part. Turns out it is pretty common part and is almost always of same specifications.
Okay, so the socket/pin was not the issue. There was some water damage to the assembly itself. We tried 3 different sockets, and all resulted in same issue. But, replacing assembly itself was cheap enough. So, finally my phone is back and charging fine. :victory:
Good good and good again. Another SL didn't bite the dust.
