Too bad that my friend's galaxy R also become black screen forever today! (Is it a black day today?)
He told me that he has plugged the machine to USB charge and leave it there for an hour. After unplugged, he cannot wake up the device. After pulling off battery and re-plug the battery, he still could not see anything from screen except complete darkness...
I do think that the phone has gone into APX mode and *might* be rescued by using nvflash method... still, I don't know how to help him. Anyone get any ideas?
I knowed more than 10 people whose GSR become brick . And i doubt the quality of Samsung GSR . because according to those people they said their phone become brick unexpected. and only way to recovery is use one machine called T32 or riff Tjag...
I've flashed about five different stock roms, and three seperate fan made roms plus numerous part builds to test for devs, and I have had zero problems
sorry to hear about yours

Thanks for your information.
So, should I suggest my friend to return the phone to Samsung repair center? Can Samsung recover it? If the phone has been rooted, is it still under warranty? Thanks.

If they detect the root, then they would not give you the warranty. But if it completely dead and they are unable to see if it has been rooted or not, they can't void the warranty.

Yes, you should see my name in some Chinese forums as I have also posted my kernel for Galaxy R in some Chinese forums
Well, I think we should obey the rules in this forum that we should communicate in English in all open threads.
If you want to talk in Chinese with me, can you please type to me using "Private Messages"? Thanks.
So , is there any news ?
RIFF doesn't detect my phone .
i had tried to install a custom rom and my phone is not starting in either way
it is neither starting in download mode ; the normal on nor in the recovery mode
i have already done this rooting and i am not new to installing custom rom in my device i.e. SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE.
i have also tried to boot it by using usb jig but it failed.
so guys do u have any idea how i can get my phone back or is it bricked for ever.
please share ur views.
Can you link the ROM you flashed?
If you take out the battery then put it back in, then turn it on (or attempt to), does it do anything at all? Vibrate, flash something, anything?
If you plug it in to your computer, does it recognize anything as plugged in, even just a driver?

the 2nd section on unbricking, there's a chance you are missing the drivers necessary to have your computer recognize it and restore it. It's worth a shot.

Oh, I didn't actually watch the video, I assumed "unbrick" had something to do with maybe not being able to access Download Mode.
Something crazy, are you sure your battery is in correctly, and are any of the pins that connect to the battery from the phone bent?

Sounds hard bricked to me, let me see if someone with more knowledge on that phone has better insight.
It does sound like its hard bricked.
If usb jig didn't work for you, then only Samsung can fix it for you.
As for warranty, depending on what reason you give them for the "sudden death" of your phone, you might be able to claim it.
Your phone's hard bricked. Get it repaired in the service center!

They might honor the warranty without having to "have" anything, just ask them. I have no idea how much they'll charge.
Motherboard replacement - anywhere around 2500INR
Approx 50USD.
There's one last thing to try.
JTAG. If you don't know how to do it, ask these guys if they can help you with your phone. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/
They're very good and trustworthy, and their service is great.
It may not start in Download mode, but I'm quite sure a JTAG is still in point. If it doesn't boot into Download mode, it means bl.bin got messed up, which is something unusual since only Samsung code/flashable through ODIN can change that file.

You will have to send it to them and it will cost money. It's not something you can get a guide to do - they need to hook up hardware to the phone and that hardware is more expensive than paying them to do it, and not a "do it yourself" kind of thing.
You could search for JTAG repair in your country. Shipping might not be too bad in a small pre-paid USPS PMI box if you have access to that - I sent a small box to Russia for $13 USD

Hi guys,
I need some help from you. I have a problem with my galaxy r since today. At night it works perfectly, the last time, i used it, was at midnight, but at the morning, the display doesn't turn on. I plugged out the battery and after 1 minute, i plugged it in and tried to turn on the phone, but the phone does nothing. No Display, no vibration, nothing. Then i tried to plugin in the charger with battery - still the same problem.
If I put in the usb cable to the pc, the pc search a driver for "apx".
What can i do, to rescue my galaxy R ?
Software at the phone: Stock GB Austria "3" firmware
Kernel: Stock
CWM: 6 touch
root: yes
Hope, that somebody can help me
Sorry for my bad english - I'm from Austria
Dont worry I had the same problem with my phone ... check out this thread ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706572
Hi shad24, thank you for your answer. I know this thread, but i haven't backuped my "efs" folder and so i brought it to my local shop and they sended it to repair station, because i'm still having warranty.
Hope there is no problem, because i have cwm and many more things on my phone. But i think, they didn't know them, because the phone completely didn't work. If they change the mainboard, do they know, which data is in the "internal sd card" ? Or is it only a flash chip in the phone and not a real sd card?
Best regards
Hey,
See if they repair your phone by changing the chip or flashing the memory ... what ever you have saved on your internal memory i.e. phone memory will be deleted ...I am sorry there is no way to recover it...

But, i meant the internal sd card, not the internal phone memory. I know, that the flash of the phone memory will be deleted, if they flash a new software. But whats with the internal SD Card?. Is this only a flash chip on the mainboard, or is it a real sd card?.
The problem is this:
If they found a cwm or something like that on my phone, i didn't have warranty and so i have to pay for the repair. But if it is unpossible to find something like that, i have warranty and didn't have any problems.

Do you know about Brickbug...?? It just brick your emmc. & what is emmc..?? I think its your Internal SDcard of 8GB which partitioned into 2 ways. So if they will change your motherboard then your data in Internal Sdcard will be deleted.

No dont worry I do not think they will be able to find your CWM recovery because if the device is stuck in APX mode ... Nothing is recoverable from the chip...

Ok, so the "internal sd card" isn't a real sd card, but a flash chip on the motherboard?

Great buddy..now you can feel the magic of galaxy r.
Hello i think i have the same kind of problem somehow (Running Cynagonmod Nightly build 10.1 not sure about which excat version i think 01.05.2013), but I'm not certain. Last night i forgot my Galaxy R in the car with about 19% battery left. In the Morning it was not on anymore. I didn't bother much about it and went to my office and put in my USB cable to the computer to get a little bit of battery. I left it there like 3 hours. Then i tried to turn it on and at first all got was the battery symbol with a loading circle. After that I tried again and i got the boot-screen of Cynagonmod the it turned on, but after awhile it turned of again and ever since the it is stuck in the boot-screen and runs a little bit hot. I tried to remove battery and everything many times but neither did work. Can somebody verify if i have the same problem?:crying: Because after flashing 10.1 the phone got so much better. Thank you guys:good:
-----------------------------
Hey guys it somehow reverted i got it running after taking out battery again and then turning it on without connecting it to a wallplug. Then I put the charger again and now it seems to be happily loading.

This method seemed to work as i was able to boot into recovery cwm and go through the options. I then ran the supersu zip and verified that the appdrawer had it in there. things looked ok i thought. so now i was ready to download a rom. Attempted the most current CM10 nightly through recovery.- it failed giving me the status 7 error. i then went to the only post about status 7 in the all things tab 2 thread and attempted to download mobile odin but when i loaded the app it said not compatible with my device.
I then attempted to download a stock rom and remove root from phone because sometime in this all i lost the ability to use wifi and my imei showed missing in the settings. no attempt at unrooting seems to work because of the cwm not allowing me to use roms. I attempted to recover the nandroid i made the minute i "rooted" and its giving me the md5 sum error as well.
Please help!!

I'm worried for you, in that you have corrupted your efs folder - did you make an efs backup? as far as i'm aware, you can only recover your efs if you have backed it up. good luck.
If it helps I am an At&t store manager, and i do have access to a identical tab that is about to be sent back from a return. I am scared though of corrupting that one and then being in a worse situation. If i knew i could create a backup that could be moved to my personal one i would do it. is that possible? I'm not familiar with an efs backup but am researching it to check now.

I'm not sure it would, as a store manager you will know imei numbers are specific to each device!...you could swap the tabs over, but I don't condone that
Did you by chance rename the backup after making it? That has caused me problems in the past.

I totally understand what you mean now, i wasn't thinking a backup would switch over the imei i just thought it would contain whatever identifiers needed not realizing it would have the actual number in that.. I used total commander to look into the root file and there is a efs folder with all the separate folders "bluetooth, wifi, and other folders".

I did rename it when i was going through a fix for the md5 sum issue, i was going through adb and couldn't navigate to the folder so i did rename it... i cant imagine that the recovery would have an issue just because of that? i wouldn't be sure what to name it back to.
I wonder if Samsung has any option for me to send it in and get them to reboot the thing. This sucks!

i'm pretty sure samsung has an option for you to send it in, but depending on what firmware your running/whether the flash counter has increased in download mode - your warranty would be void - or you may have to pay some $$$$ - they may even refuse. i don't know for sure though.

if the counter is at 0 it sounds like you still have root access, do you?
you could try flashing a stock firmware through odin , which ever came with the tab - 4.0.4??? get the firmware from sammobile.com - that may :fingers-crossed: get rid of the modified status.

You're missing the point! He has a corrupt imei number. He can flash that but still won't be able to get signal.
I had a simaler issue with my S3 (d2tmo) as well as many others. Qpst I believe is what I used to get the imei back. I had the links all save on the laptop but it died 3 moths back. (10 year old dell). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997 try that out see if it will help. I have some of the other stuff saved that I will upload to you. Search the issue on S3 (us variants) it could help.
Samsung Rocks!
Great news! Samsung had me send it in and they repaired it in less than 2 days of having it. their ticket email says this
Problem found: ESN corrupted
Solution: Replaced PBA
-- not sure what a pba is but they didn't charge me for the repair! I'm taking this as a gracious sign from above that i should leave it well enough alone and enjoy it the way it was made! I'll just stick to rooting my s3 and doing what im comfortable with. I appreciate all your words of help and advice to try and narrow down a solution.
First of all, you flashed some things not meant for your device. the CF-Autoroot method is designed for the Pxxx models, NOT the SGH/SCH models. Flashing this on your device flashed partitions it shouldn't have.
Second, the PBA is the mainboard. I bricked my tab a few weeks ago (typo in my updater script) and they replaced the PBA also. Samsung warranty is pretty great. Glad you got it fixed.
Always, ALWAYS, be sure you flash a ROM/recovery/etc designed for your specific device. The pxxx tabs and sgh/sch tabs are 100% different in hardware AND partition layout. If you flash a ROM for the Pxxx tab on a SGH/SCH tab, it will overwrite imei. Moderators REALLY need to suck it up and create separate forums for the lte tabs.

Don't think this will happen, too small community and even no CM.
I think the verizon Tab is the Xperia Pro in the Xperia Arc Forum

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.
