Hard Bricked Fix?

I recently hard bricked my phone it wont turn on, hold volume key and try putting in download mode. Connected to Charger no background picture or lighting at all. So i was frustrated and messed around with my phone and apparently unbricked it.
I held down the volume keys power button and plug in a usb jig and it went into download mode after numerous attempts trying to turn on the phone show some kind of lighting to just regulalry use the Usb Jig. if you have a hardbricked sg4g u can try this method.

I hold the volume keys for couple sec then plugged in the jig and it went into download mode after numerous attept to get some kind of BAck lighting to use the jig regularly
ack lighting

Yeah I used a usb JIG to fix my friends captivate the other night. JIG is apparently pretty universal to get into Download mode on samsung phones.
I'll be keeping that JIG handy in case I ever need it again . I took a iGO power tip and stripped the black rubber off, then disconnected the iGO part from the USB wires. Then slowly removed the silicon plastic from the wires.
Touch the yellow wire and black wire (pin 4 and 5) with 3 connected transistors and bing! download mode.

Was his regular bricked? Like it showed some kind of lighting?

His was bricked in the sense that you could turn it on, but it did nothing. Yes, lighting but nothing happened. No AT&T Logo etc.
As soon as I JIG'ed it (3 seconds holding the transistor ends on the 4 and 5 pin) it instantly brought it into download mode.

JIG ?? what is it?
Where does one get one of these things, and is there any full explination about it?

Jig is just another word for tool. In this case a tool to get a bricked samsung device into download mode.
Read up a bit in this thread. I stripped an iGO power tip ($10 at radio shack) that is for the USB port on samsung phones. Then used three transistors wrapped around and covered with tape ($0.99 at radio shack) to touch the yellow and black wire (pin 4 and 5 on the usb end).
This causes the phone to go into download mode when the 3 button salute and other options fail.

You can get one for 8dollars on ebay

Yep, you are correct. I already had the materials. Additionally, wasn't a situation where if I had to go get them I wouldn't. Waiting for shipping would be too long.
Definitely multiple ways to get a jig.

very good info Joe, I bookmarked this in case I run into the same issue.

you're all talking about SOFT bricked devices here...
If you have backlights when you turn the device on, but no on-screen display (no AT&T or custom ROM logo), your device isn't HARD-BRICKED.
With the exception of the first run / initial batch of Galaxy Vibrants, the 3 button recovery and/or download mode options should work just fine (and you don't need a JIG; but it doesn't hurt to have one handy. My buddy's I9000 would NOT go into download without a JIG; but my SGH-I897 would, no problem).
Holding VOL up & VOL down while the device is off and then inserting the USB cable will put you into download mode. if this works, you have SOFT brick, and can breathe easy.
HARD bricked devices have no back-light response -- not from A/C *or* USB. They don't turn on, and the JIG does NOT work... I am speaking from personal experience here. Flashing does have its risks...
The only way I personally know how to fix a HARD-bricked device, is to send it in for warranty repair/replacement (and hope that Samsung doesn't dig too deep into why the device is borked).

or be one of the lucky few that spent the money on a riff box jtag

For the price of a riff box you can buy a new phone (more or less. you're looking at about $229 + shipping -- and there's no guarantee it'll be successful).
The dude who makes Cognition ROM (@designgears), hard-bricked his galaxy and the riff box jtag didn't fix it, FYI (according to his tweets).
After I sent my SGH-I897 in for service, I replaced it with a new-in-box/unopened Dell Streak 5, for CDN$50 (total). So, even if Samsung send it back as-is, I'm only out the cost of the captivate ($550) plus $50-- which, at the end of the day, is still better than a kick in the ass with a frozen mukluk.

hello guys..
recently i downloaded some ROM and i wanted to flash it, and that wasnt' my frist time i ever flash a rom..
and reset the factor and the cash then reboot and then no respond at all from my Galaxy Note...
not even a light or respond to A/C nor USB..
i tried to make that simple USB JIG but didn't work..and i think it is a hard brick...
so i think i will send it for maintenance, but my serious question is.. is there any chance i will get my NOTE work again? or did i lose it forever??

*LOOK* Trying To Fix a Droid that wont boot up.

i purchased this motorola droid from a friend for 20 bucks, anytime u plug it into an outlet and try to power it on it comes up and says Battery To Low To Program on the boot loader screen, well i got past this by cutting up a USB cable and connecting the positive and negative to the battery connectors inside the phone like this...

Now im at the boot loader screen that says...
I have installed the RSDLITE 4.9 and the latest Motorola Drivers from Motorola, and i cant get RSDLite to find my phone at all, even if i check the first come first serve option under config, the only way i can get it to recognize it is to roll back from RSDLite 4.9 back to 4.5.3 and then it will recognize it and say its connected but when i add the .sbf file and hit start i get this error...
"Device SE flash OMAP3430 MI is not supported
Failed flashing process unable to find initialization values INI file (0x7029)"
Im not a beginner in anyway when it comes to android ive been messing with them for about a year now started out with a droid and then moved over to sprint where i have a rooted EVO that i mess with alot, if there is anything anyone can think of to help id really appreciate it im out of ideas and i hate to just throw in the towel and say its broke, the phone will go into recovery when i try to do a factory wipe it just gives me a bunch of E: open dev then says it ran out of trys, clears my cache and data and thats it, i still get the white M screen and all that just when i try to power it up it goes straight to the bootloader 2C.7C screen. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled each version of RSDLite from 4.5 all the way up to 4.9 as well as old and new motorola usb drivers as well as rebooting my machine each time. When i plug the phone in after holding Up + Power my computer does recognize the Motorola SE Flash interface or whatever it says when you plug them in and load the boot loader so idk please help...
**EDIT**
As far as i know this phone was not rooted when i got it and is not the phone in my signature, the guy said one day it just started giving him the low power cannot program screen.

really? no one has any ideas?

The first thing I would do is find out if the phone had been rooted. If so the answer could be as simple as flashing a rom onto it if you can get to recovery. I'm pretty new to working with rooted devices and it seems you've come to the wrong place to discuss this phone as it seems not many people care about the Droid. Its more about the Milestone here.
If the device isn't rooted and you do decide to break down, you could call Verizon or Motorola (depending on who you want to deal with) and see about getting a replacement phone.
The droid is pretty fun to mess with and it seems that there are a lot of cool things you can do with it. It doesn't have some of the hardware that the newer phones have, so some of the apps/mods/addons wont work the way you want them to, but its still fun to have a phone around that you can constantly test on and work with.
I wish you the best of luck with this my friend and I hope that some how I helped with this. I'm looking forward to finding out if you got your "Dinodroid" running again lol.

Considering this is the section for droid its the right place to come. Just because more user have milestones does not mean theres not someone willing to help.
As for the droid what .sbf file are you trying to flash? You just said you flashing a .sbf file you didn't say exactly what? I'm guessing a custom rom image or a stock version of the droid. You might wanna double check the sbf your using to make sure its for the droid and not milestone. Don't know much about the droid but thats the first thing Id check.

well i have made some progress, my cousin has a moto droid 1 and i swapped his battery in with mine and what do you know, phone fired right up! I took the phone home, plugged it into a charger with the original battery and it worked, battery even started charging. Well... Soon after me messing with it for probably an hour or 2 the phone starts randomly rebooting and now will only start up to the bootloader screen. Im thinking the battery could be bad and its maybe sending mixed voltages to the phone and making it operate radicly? I know these phone are suppose to operate at a certain "safe" voltage in order to work correctly and im thinking that may be why cutting up the USB cable and connecting it to the battery terminals of the phone may have not worked? Im thinking the battery may be bad and the phone is trying to protect itself from being shorted out? Idk just an idea. So i ordered a brand new droid battery from amazon so we will see what happens once it gets here.
And for Mastur Mynd, thanks for the advice, thankfully this isnt my main phone, i have a evo 4g on sprint and this phone is just for tinkering i figured i could fix it and if not im only out 20 bucks and my time. Hopefully the battery works tho because the phone is MINT and it worked perfectly for the short time i got it to fire up.
TaintedCross - as far as i know the phone wasnt rooted, the guy said he spilt water on the table the phone was on and the water ran underneath the phone and didnt actually get on it, so thats why im thinking its just the battery shorting out. I doubled checked the .sbf files like 10 times downloading them from differnt websites and stuff so i know thats not the problem.

I had an incredibly similar problem trying to repair a friend's Droid X. It was water damage to the boot sector. If you can get it to boot up again, I suggest flashing a new ROM via ClockworkMod. If you're lucky, it may fix the problem by overwriting the kernel, system, etc. where the problem could be located. If that doesn't work, try to .sbf about a hundred times. I spent a good 12 hours .sbfing over and over until it stuck. The only thing is that you HAVE to have +80% battery before attempting an .sbf flash because the phone doesn't charge while in the bootloader. Hope this helps.

[Q] What could be my issue?

A week ago Tuesday, my TF101 (B40) and dock (B90) were working fine. I charged them up and then put them in a carry bag for a weekend trip (still docked). I never used it on the trip or the following week. This morning I tried to power it on and it wouldn't; I figured it was a dead battery. Still docked, I plugged it in and the light was solid red on the dock (not blinking red which it usually does when depleted). After over an hour, I still cannot power on my tablet. I now have the tablet plugged directly into the wall, no dock, but I thought I'd post to get some ideas in case that doesn't revive it. If it was all the way dead, how long would it likely take to charge enough to come on? Is there a way to see if there's something else? Unfortunately for me, I have some data on it that isn't on the microSD; is there any way to even get in a state to copy the files off as a USB drive or something?
It's unrooted, stock Honeycomb (I never upgraded because I use Flash in the stock browser for Amazon Prime).

Have you tried holding the power button for like 10 seconds, it could have just locked up holding it does a reset a bit like taking the battery out and putting it back in.
Also I believe in between the headphone jack and the HDMI there is a little hole, might be worth having a Google but I think that is another reset type button.
Even if the batt is completely dead it only needs to be plugged in for 5 secs for your to be able to switch it on with the power still in.

So it's been an hour and a half and it still won't power on, even holding it down for 30 seconds, and also doing a Volume Down + Power for 30 seconds. I'm trying to get a full charge on the dock now to make sure it isn't my charger or cable, and then I am hoping that re-docking will supply enough power to bring it on.
Edit: The dock now has a full charge, indicated with a green LED. The tablet is docked in and won't power up.

Actually, it might be working..
Try plugging it into a TV or another screen via HDMI cable..
I had a similar problem with mine, where I thought it was a power thing but infact it was a dead touch screen..
I actually did a complete flash back to stock via this method and sent it back for repair.
Lucky for me it still had the little sticker on the bottom of it and they replaced free of charge..

^^ This.
Otherwise I would completely kill the battery on the tablet, then try to recharge it via dock or direct cable, you may want to hold the power button for 30+secs to attempt to get it working, and see if your computer will detect it in APX mode via cable.. (Power + Vol up, no image will show) Then try reflashing it.
ToD

Thanks for responses so far. It now is recognized by Windows and I was able to get my data off, thankfully. I can't find my HDMI cable but I will try that soon to confirm it as a display issue.
Is there any chance it got a corrupted load from something OTA (I was still on Android 3.x) and is stuck in APX mode? It is a stock device but I read that APX-mode doesn't show you anything on the screen (like Fastboot does on my phone).

If its recognized by windows normally its not stuck in apx mode (windows detects "apx" mode, and you cant openly transfer files in apx) im assuming your not covered by warranty, you could pull it apart (easy to do) and see if anythings out of place, e.g loose connections, possibly even the battery connection but top priority is getting a hdmi connection going to see if its just the display or more.

there is a good youtube video that i used to confirm that i had touchscreen death.
its a tear down video and shows how to push the touch connector back into position as this seems to slide off
on a few devices, thus you lose touch screen.. check the q&a thread as i have posted a link to the video a few months ago..

^^ This, they are well known for pulling their own display cable out of place when they receive a knock, the ribbon cable is wrapped around the battery so when you knock it, the battery shifts and pulls the ribbon cable out of its socket, fairly easy fix once you get the back off and find the cable

Thanks to everyone who responded! I confirmed via HDMI that the tablet is working and the touch interface is active. I'll tear it down this weekend and put that cable back in!

So I'm bumping my old thread, because despite my good intentions in March I didn't try to open it up until a few weeks ago, and then the cable looked properly seated. I still disconnected and reconnected it to make sure and the tablet display still doesn't work.
Is there a chance I did something wrong or could it just be a bad display or other circuit board? I checked and via HDMI the touch interface still works. I don't want to give up on it because a repair or even buying a different TF101 off eBay is cheaper than a TF700+new dock.

[Q] Xoom will not turn on

Okay my sister is having major problems with her Xoom. At little background information. Me, my sister and my other brother all received Xoom 4Gs as Christmas gifts. They are all unlocked and rooted. And up until now no major problems besides the occasional lockup. Now to the problem at hand. She was playing a game on her tablet and set it down to go do something. My brother, whom also has a Xoom, picked it up and hit the power button and the little red light next to the camera flashed. So he plugged it in. An hour later the charge light was green which she found odd because it normally takes a few hours for it to charge from dead. She tried to turn it on and nothing happened. No light flash no nothing. Later that day, I tried all the little tricks to get it to come on but nothing works. The only thing that does "work" is the charge light. I took the back off and disconnected the battery for about a minute, I didn't think to check the voltage while i had it apart though. What could it be, would really like to get it back up and running by the end of the month for a trip we are taking.
Or is there a way to get her data off of it?

I faced similar issue , the only thing that was showing was the notification light when charging, after reading all the forums i decided to plug in a micro hdmi cable to the tv so that i can see if the xoom is working.
and yes it was working perfectly fine!!! i could see the screen on tv and the touch was also working but i wasn't able to see anything on the screen(XOOM)
then i finally unscrewed the 2 screws and opened up the xoom , i removed the lcd connection and plugged it again! and THAT WORKED!!!
REALLY!!! TRY That!!!
here is a photo that can help you , you dont have to dig up the whole system, just disconnect the lcd cable and plug it in and be patient please!

Did you try connecting it to your tv using micro usb ?

When you push the power button , does it make the click sound?
Power button in my xoom got used off and became irresponsive , had to take off the back cover and glue some smal piece of foam to it, works, need to push hard but works.

i dont think it is the power button. when i connect it to my computer, the internal HD and the sd card shows up, and i can see all the files on it. that means xoom is working fine, it boot up. but i cant see anything on the screen. will have to wait for my micro hdmi cable and connect to a tv see if i can still use the touch sceen.
my son drop some water into it from where the sd card is. i took apart most parts, battery, motherboard and disconnect all the wires, still nothing.

Hi,
I have the same issue, received the phone from china yesterday and will only charge when the phone is turned off.
and pc wont recognize it when attached via usb.
Ive tried different usb cords and wall chargers all the same outcome.

Thanks for the help.
So if the connector is disconnected it can still charge and get power?
Though if that is the case ill have to send it back to the supplier as it is 2 days old, which means $30 shipping and a month or so waiting for a replacement.

First before sending check that the drivers are properly installed.
Due to the connector, I let myself to recognize the PC as the connector goes from the load plate to the main board, this problem you happened to many people, after a fall of the phone will even have come to put paper below so as not to release more.
You can do the test pressing on the connector by removing the battery and putting the mobile on a towel to see if it connects, it does not remove it.

Sorry i dont understand the step with the towel.
The supplier got back to me saying the factory informed them it could be a back board issue? whatever that means?
I can return it or they can send out a new back board.
So not sure what to do?
Thinking about returning it and getting a full refund and trying another supplier?

Promblem is with charging iocean x7s! It can be charged only if it is turn off!!
Can I solve this problem?
Please help me
