[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 Mega-superbrick

Hello everybody. You're my last hope!
Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.
I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.
Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.
After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?

[Q] GT-8013 16gig wifi only, stuck on logo screen and wont go into recovery mode

I have done hours of searches and can't find the answer to my problem. Hopefully someone here can help.
My GT-N8013 is stuck in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo screen. I can't even turn it off without it bringing this screen right back up. It only goes dead when I unplug it and let the battery run out of juice.
I can get it to restart into Odin Download mode, but not into the recovery mode. I can install roms and CWM and stock roms using both Kies and desktop Odin3, and I get "pass" status with no errors, most the time, when I do rom update, but I can't get to the restore screen with the power + volume up button, then releasing the power button and holding down the volume up button only. It just stays on the Logo screen.
I hold down the power + Volume down button and it will restart into the Warning screen that allows me to hit the volume down to go to the download screen or volume up to cancel and restart. Both the volume up and down buttons work for this action so I'm sure the buttons are working okay.
I thought maybe the battery wasn't charging right and that was preventing it from going into recovery mode, but I can charge it for a while and unplug it and the screen will stay on the logo screen for a long time, so I think the battery is okey.
Samsung just said I should send it in, but it is out of warranty and I don't want to put much more money into this devices since it is old and a new version is out now, but I hate to think a great device like this that worked so well for so long is now going to be worthless because I can't figure out how to fix it. Hardware seams to be working fine and just a few days ago, the software was working fine. I'm so confused.
Leading up to these events, I had it turned off for a few weeks because I was traveling and going on airplanes and never ended up using it on the trips so it remained turned off. When I turned it back on, there was a OTA system update that I wasn't sure what it did. Didn't appear to do anything noticeable. Still worked normal. Then a few days later I did a personal data wipe because I was going to sell it and get the new Note 10.1. I went through the new setup process without problems, everything was fine. I sold it to a guy and a day later he contacts me and says it isn't working properly and I've been dealing with this ever since. It didn't appear to have any physical damage and the custom binary download count was at "No" so I don't think he tried to load any custom roms. I don't think this guy is tech savvy enough to do anything but plug it in and use it normal, so I don't suspect foul play.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the exact same symptoms. (No recovery mode / stuck on boot screen even after fresh stock rom installed). Out of the blue after working fine the day before.
Anyone know:
a) of anything further that I can try to resurrect this
b) if I might still have any joy getting warranty service from the shop I bought it from in the UK / Samsung if they send it back to them. I have more than a year left on the 2-year warranty they provided, and have only ever run/attempted to run stock. However as I have been out of the UK my custom binary count has increased to 7 as I have tried to reinstall Stock Roms myself to fix the problem. (However OS version still shows as Samsung Official, not custom)
Thanks so much if anyone can help me

Custom binary 7 = warranty void .
I would try flashing Philz recovery tar through Odin and try recovery mode .

One mini with bootloader fail. Still alive but not boot up accurately

Hello to all.
I tried to find an answer for my troubles here by a few hours but unfortunatelly i didnt. So I wonder to find help here thanks to XDA specimens society.
Problem symptoms
1 I bought One mini in USA. Seller provided a photo with bootloader screen which I attach below.
2 When received device, it didnt boot up at all. Only a HTC logo appeared at white background and screen began black.
Than when I press a power button, a touch buttons under screen flash 10 times and stop. Again press of power button gives one short vibration and nothing later happens.
I noticed that alu cover at down side (battery area) becomes warm and it is working till battery power goes to 0%
3 When "working", mobile is detected by Windows system connected by usb. It show mass storage, modem and not recognized device.
4 Also it shows a battery charging animation if power button was not pressed before and battery is charged from 0%.
After a two weeks in my desk it still shows 99% what means that battery is mint condition and mobile is not working when not powered on before.
Serviceman said that I have broken bootloader and it should be repaired.
Finally I found out that I can install a new ROM.
So I downloaded a
drivers (recommended here at another article)
TWRP recovery file 2 7 0 5 m4kk
customized Rom by CodenameLungo version CM 11
What I should do now? What tools install? How to putt all these into phone memory if I have not acces to bootloader screen?
If you know article which solve my problem than I will be thankfull for a link.
I know that for most of you these questions are stupid but I m not a pro and will be thankfull for a little help
THX in advance for all who will try to help me.

Do you know how to enter bootloader? When the phone is off, you hold the Volume Down Button and the power button until phone boots up (several seconds). If you can access bootloader this way, we have a chance to help you out.

Yes I read about this method. Unfortunatelly it didnt work. Or i tried power+vol up.
Today I visited another specialist and left it for diagnostic purposes. They suppose that bootloader is damaged and should be reconstructed (if I can name it this way).
They were listening to me carefully before said that wold try to connect it with computer.
I hope they know what to do. Will call them on Friday and post here what s going on in their opinion.

OK. Good luck with it.

Bootloader was reconstructed and now it is running to the boot menu. But serviceman has a problem with flashing ROM. He said that during instalation system cant rebuild certificate and all proces fails at 3%.
May anyone point me any link with instructions what should be done at this situation? We have a deal that on Monday i take mobile back, even if rom will not be flashed correctly...
He confirmed that this phone comes from ATT broadband and is not sure if that change anything or not.
Also suggest that previous owner tried to modify ROM by himself and thats why bootloader was damaged...

[Q] Motorola RAZR HD XT925 Doesn't Start (Blinking Green LED)

Hello. I have problems with my device, a Motorola Razr xt925 HD. It doesn't start, it just keeps the green led blinking when connected to wall charger, and when I plug the USB, makes a sound of a new device detected but only for a few seconds then it makes a sound of an unplugged device, and so on. It doesn't respond to any combination of buttons. I let it charging overnight, even though the battery was nearly full before this happened. Don't know if this is relevant but before this happened, I was going to flash stock Retail Brazil firmware by fastboot and got a flash failure. I turned it off and then it wouldn't turn on again. I never had this happened, I had problems but I always solved them all. Not this time hopefully you guys can help me or tell me what it could be, because I doubt it was the battery. I leave you a video showing my case.

i dont know for certain but the only time i see that green light is when battery is ou and i put it to chrge. Could your phone be in apfastboot and can t charge. It is a bit of a tough situation to troubleshoot.
Did you try keys combo to put it in fastboot, and test it by flashing
or maybe use rsd lite see if it shows you device connected? maybe then you can flash stock
i am sure there are other possibilities, let s hear from you

There's no way to enter in Fastboot by key combos and RSD lite doesn't show my device :/ maybe I need a factory cable, just in case that the battery is empty. I need more suggestions please

me paso lo mismo
did you find any solution?

im having this problem after i start using KK 4.4.2 seems like the phone go to sleeping mood by it self while my screen is locked so i have to keep clicking at power and volume up and down to restart the device now im looking for an update or a fix for this problem, another problem is the device WIFI do not catch my house signal while im away 10 feet from the house the software have bugs

I've been using CM 11 (KK 4.4.4) with no issues. This is a flash problem or maybe the battery. My phone is still dead btw I see that two more people are having the same problem here... we need a solution please.

i think your your device is dead.
this exact thing happened to me.
it happened on september, i was forced to get a new device.
i love this phone but it was dead.
i hope a fix comes through i would like to have it back

I ll take one of your hand, I need parts if interested

Any update with this? Did you try with a factory cable?

I'm going through the same thing , I read the other day that and the driver installed and nothing more .
keep trying to revive my device.

I'm going through the same thing. When I plug it into my pc , under device manager it shows "Human Interface Device" then it unmounts itself then remounts itself then unmounts. Over and over..... I've even replaced the battery.

I was running stock rom with just root, phone was working great. phone rebooted, screen never came back on but when i connect it to my computer it sees it in adb..........
Any advice would be great.
Thank you

This thread for the droid Ultra might interest you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-ultra-maxx-brick-recovery-t2830806
There is some discussion of the Razr HD in this thread. It looks like someone with an unlocked device would need to dd their bootloader partition for this method to work.

A few years later .... Any solution? rsrsrs

any update on this scenario?
i have this situation too and the time could give us an answer, i am searching again, i took my device to some 'phone repair stores' and in less than 5 minutes they told me that the phone was dead, but i have my last doubts

Just to add an update here
I ended up with the Green light only and blank screen after trying to fix a battery issue, despite getting a number of batteries my phone wasn't accepting the batteries.
I remembered a battery issue a long while back, so went to reflash my phone to see if it resolved it.
I ended up with the green light and blank screen and no matter what buttons, it would just make a noise then keep rebooting.
I ended up using the Unbrick bat file.
RSD Lite was briefly showing a Medfield device of something starting with Med, but since the phone kept rebooting I couldn't reflash it again.
I did the Pwr and Vol down and as soon as I saw the device, I clicked the UnBrick bat and it managed to get my Moto logo up.
I then booted to Fastboot mode and reflashed and my phone is back,
See this link for the UnBrick, but when you do it, you have to be fast to catch it while the device is seen, otherwise the phone reboots after 4s or soo.

Nexus 5 DEAD - QHSUS_BULK

Hello everyone,
This morning while I was having coffee, my phone started playing jokes on me. At first it got really slow while doing the easiest things, like checking a mail, send a text and make a phone call. 10-15 After that I get a notification, Phone was locked, I tried to unlock it. I did spam the button like 5-10 times, Screen won't come up, but notification LED was working. At that point I thought that the power button was pretty much done for. Nope not the case. I held it down for 10 seconds, phone actually powered down. No chance in hell I could turn it back on. At that point I just went home. Got home plugged the phone into my PC. As soon as I did that, Windows started to check for a driver, had to wait almost 5 minutes to find QHSUSB_BULK.
Now, doing a bit of a search I found out that this could be the result of different problems, One that has to do with the memory just dying cause yeah, Nexus 5 and the eternal memory problem +Lollipop screw around with Data partitions, another that has to do with Roms, another that had to do with custom recovery.
What the hell is in my case? I run a custom Rom and a custom recovery, Atm I have Cyanogenmod 12.1 and lateste TWRP recovery.
I have a handful of tools at my disposal, a Cable, a good keyboard and a iron will.
In this case, Can I do something to fix my phone from home? Can't really send into warranty as I have custom software that's running on it and I'll just get a generic response that basically tells me that my warranty was voided due to custom software running on the terminal. We all love generic response like that, Don't we?
TLR: Phone died this morning, I couldn't unlock the screen and I thought it was the power button be cause, the notification led was still working. At that point I just powered it down by holding the power button down for 10 sec.
I wasn't able since to power it back on. If I connect it to my PC I get QHSUSB_BULK.
Hopefully there's some one who can point me in a direction ASAP. I have no backup phone atm and I really need this one to actually be ALIVE again.
Can't send it to Warranty because I run custom software on it. GSM Services/Fix Shops are out of the question too.
Pls halp ASAP
Will pay in Galactic Credits.
Thanks!

I have the exact same problem but this answer doesn't help. This solution requires that you can turn your phone on in the first place. He specifically said he can't turn the phone on at all. Same with me, no matter what I've got nothing. Need help!

Thanks to everyone.
I used the board diag - clicked Start and... it said "failed to open partition from EMMC". The test aborted. I think my phone is gone for good.
Oh and I had to take the battery out, plug it in, and sometimes re-attached to latch that goes over the battery several times before I could even get it to read anything in Device Manager. Before that it would say "failed USB connection".
This all started yesterday when the phone just spontaneously put itself into a boot loop while on charge. I tried to do a factory reset but it froze. After several hours I tried to cancel it. The Nexus went full brick.
Thanks again
