Hello everyone! Today I accidentally flashed a stock ROM (with stock bootloader) of Samsung i9020T on my Samsung i9023 and the result is that no longer turn on! Do you think I can solve with an USB Jig? If there were no other chances, can I send it to Samsung assistance?
P.s. sorry for my english
Can you get to download mode?

No, I cannot access either to the fastboot mode, or in recovery!! To access to download mode, I ordered an USB Jig on ebay, but it will arrive next week! Do you know if it works?
Thanks
There is a gnu/linux tool called unbrickableMod by adam outler, it can be found from android development section. Try that.

Do you know if I can repair my Nexus using an USB Jig to enter in download mode?

Hi Cesco, sorry for your problem. I thought that if the rom would have been not suitable for the phone it would have advice you. Can I ask you the link of the jig you bought? I think is good to always have one...

Hi, I bought it on ebay.it! I can't post the link beacuse i'm new on XDA so I write it without http: bit.ly/wSobGE
I installed the rom through CWM Recovery and it doesn't say anythink! The ROM is Gingerbread Stock 2.3.1 for Samsung Nexus S i9020! What do you think about?
Thanks!

Thank you Cesco! I think that if it doen't turn on, there's not other choice to use the Jig to turn it in download mode!
Anyway, are you the cesco of androidiani.com? If you solve you problem, you have to implement unbricking in your tool!

Ok, but I'm not sure that I can solve with the JIG!
Yes, I'm on Androidiani.com, but my tool can't solve an hard brick because are needed the JIG Usb and (if it works) ODIN Downloader, to reflash the bootloader.
If I can resurrect my phone I could write a tutorial to help the users with a problem like the mine..
Anyway I haven't yet figured out if, with the jig is 100% sure that I solve this problem. Have you never used it?
Thanks!

No, Cesco. I'm a lucky man and never needed this Jig. But you know, for only 3euros I want to be ready for the worst. I usually flash a lot. Let me know if it work!
Ok, last question, I found a post on androidiani.com says that in this case, the jig is not working, so, do you think that Samsung assistance accepts it?

I really don't know the warranty policy, but consider the warranty as the last thing. Try that jig, then you'll see what to do. The pc cannot see the phone plugged to usb neither with the PdaNet?
Try to open a thread on androidiani, maybe there's someone that have had your same experience!

I had the same problem, not turning on my phone. I fixed it with that tool. That helps to turn on device to the bootloader mode. And we can flash boot loader and recovery from their.

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?

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

Just updating thru Mobile Odin Pro, pressed the 'Flash' button, said yes to checking MD5, halfway thru that the screen went black and now wont turn on!
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this down to MOP or the phone?
Tried the charger, computer, nothing....
Anthing I can do with my multimeter to see if its getting power? I see some copper contacts under the back cover...

Assume you've pulled the battery? [EDIT] Checking the MD5 may have just crashed the phone out, similar to the way ODIN stutters when you load a file in[/EDIT] - if not try it and then try reach Download mode/Recovery.
For power, try a different usb cable.
Did you flash the wrong firmware? They is plenty version of Note 3.
oh boy, hope this isn't your only or main phone. Sucks to have this happen on holiday.

I dont think so. Maybe it was flashing and u didnt realize. The phone cannot dead just by checking MD5 sum.
BTW,
1- what was your original firmware (region, version...)?
2- what is the firmware u are going to flash? What is the filename?
3- what version of Mobile Odin Pro?
4- have u turned off reactivation lock?
5- have u selected any wipe option?
6- which button (in Mobile Odin Pro) u've used to select the firmware file?

1. MI6 I think. The very first one.
2. MK2 United Kingdom
3. 2.85 I think. The latest one.
4. Dont know.
5. Had wipe data and cache ticked in MOP
6. I loaded the md5 file then removed the kernel and recovery components.
That last bit, I dont understand what you're asking. My phone was about 75% thru checking MD5 and then it died.
Phone is booked in for repair. Just waiting for the envelope from Samsung to send it to them.

Before you start any actions to modify the phone, you should get it repaired by the vendor. Its not even a year since the model was released, so you should have still guarantee on it.

Bump! unlock your bootloader, then you will be able flashing roms via recovery. BUT its really risky if your phone has no working USB port as you cant flash the stock firware if something goes wrong.

It's a completely stock phone? You've never unlocked the bootloader or tried to flash anything?
If that's the case, you'd be far better off contacting Asus about it. It is well within the year warranty and you may require a special cable to flash it correctly yourself. It sounds like it may be defective, so even recovering it could only be temporary.

It says they are updating the page. You probably won't hear back over the weekend and they take a couple days to reply normally. It is the safest way to restore the phone, though.
Making cables and using software that doesn't come directly from Asus for restoring from a brick is risky. It's a last resort when they say they won't help.

If the device is under warranty and this happened without you altering anything I don't understand how they can reject it
If the device is only stuck in EDL mode but no hardware damage and has a working bootloader you can try (entirely at own risk):
1 - Make (or buy) a deep flash cable and see if you can snap it out of EDL mode by activating it a few times while the device is connected. (Chances are slim but it does work sometimes).
2 - Disconnect and re-connect the battery pack from the mainboard. The battery connector of ROG 5 is located on the right side between the north battery and the mainboard when looked from the back. You need to remove the top part of the motherboard for access to it. It's not a huge operation but requires some basic tools and some phone adhesive for closing the backcase again. Some cooling paste is also useful to repaste the heat conducting parts before closing it again (optional).
However, if the device doesn't have a working boot and/or it's really damaged then all above is useless.
