So I recently ****ed my gnex 6 ways from sunday. Im talkin no screen no dl mode no fastboot. NOTHIN, ZILTCH. When plugged into comp i get the noise over and over again as if im removing and repluggin the cord repeatedly. sometimes after 20 minutes of that it will finally show up in device manager as unknown device or OMAP440. but thats rarely and it dont stay long. Im no noob and this seems a clear cut case of a Hard Brick. But I beg of you, PLease prove me wrong. Thanks all.
Got the jig. Yup, this thing is ****ed. Probly gna send it to the big S jus to see what they gotta say. Thanks to all those who helped.
I'm pretty sure there is a usb jig that will force odin mode. If that doesn't work I think you'd be screwed. Here's a video on how to make your own jig. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKRrTZayRxU
Or you can buy one already made for $5.50 US at http://usbjig.com/
What were you flashing when this happened?
a little info on how this happened can help.
Are you unlocked and rooted?
Did you drop the phone?
If you call the phone, does it ring?
In other words, is it your screen that's broken? I recently returned a rooted HTC thunderbolt with a non functioning screen back to stock to take advantage of factory warranty.
Sorry to be vauge. to clear things up;
No, Never Dropped, still looks brand new. Definately not the screen. This things a brick. And I was running a linux installer last i'd seen the phone but i had left it unattended for probably 15 mins or so. Also, heard the jig dont work on these, can anyone elaborate? Thanks
Linux installer? No, what exactly were you doing or flashing?
Thats it. Nothing else was going when i left it

I think he meant "What Linux installer?"
Send it to a service center and say "I downloadz app and it won't turn onz"
I can tell you that motorola was good about rooted phones being serviced, not sure about Samsung.

That wasn't much better. You need to tell us step by step exactly what you did leading up to this problem. Be specific as possible.

There's multiple reports of the Galaxy S II jig working with the Gnex. I hope this helps. There is a forum on another website I can post the link if you want with a confirmed report of the jig working.
Anyway here's the link to buy the jig $1.60 with free shipping is a pretty good deal to save a $600 phone. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/unbric...msung-t959-i9000-i897-m110s-i8700-i9100-93514
Good Luck
Other than this, w w w . androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/linux-installer_fuxq_comments.html , the phone was doing nothing else. started the setup process walked awayfor a bit, came back and BRICK.

and this is why we can't have nice things....
this is one of the reasons why phone companies are so against unlocking bootloaders. people screw up their rooted, unlocked phones and then send it back to vzw or the manufacturer to cover the bill.
if you're going to root your phone and mod it, then man up and accept the consequences when you derp it.
not saying the op isn't going to accept full responsibility, but your advice is what's wrong w/ some in this rooted community.
Since the linux installer is only using chroot then one would think that it is simply adding its distro to the system partition then chrooting to start. How this bricked you is puzzling. There's no flashing operation here...
I'm guessing hardware failure. The coincidence is hard to ignore though. However, you weren't there when it actually died so who knows what happened.
i was flashing stock ICS 4.0.4 with Odin and then half way through an error came up. so i removed closed Odin from the PC and tried redoing it. and then it was saying analyzing files.
and so i closed it again and restarted the phone. and what came on the screen was a sign, with a phone dots an exclamation mark dots and a monitor. i think thats when the phones bricked rite? any help?

not bricked at all mine did it
happened to me do you have version 1.85 of odin and do you have a propper version of 4.0.4
odin 1.85 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394051&highlight=odin+stock
the 4.0.4 version i used here http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
i had the same thing on my screen and it all worked fine the second time round.. i tried for a total of 8 hours doing different things but this worked with the latest odin.
make sure you load via the pda Make sure in the ODIN program "Re-Partition", "Phone EFS Clear", and "Phone Bootloader Update" are NOT checked.
hope that works. im a total novice but worked a dream

The jig DOES work, it IS a brick, and YES, YOU'RE F**KED
Sorry, but I canot say this, any politer ^^
And, please. Don't take me too hard but, I think you are still a n00b ^^
This has nothing to do with you post rate, or anything, like that... But, there IS no Linux installer, for the GNex ^^
BTW, try a battery pull, and leave it for a few hours, before posting anything else... It works wanders ^^ Maybe you just fried your phone, a tiny bit...

Sorry your post is so retarded I have to double reply.
Do you really think the tiny amount of repairs coming from botched hacks is the reason most companies are locking bootloaders? Like really..
My advice is what's wrong? Hmm..
Maybe the OP should "man up" and go buy a new handset instead of Samsung hiring some monkey for $12 an hour to hook his phone up to a jig.

hey guys,
so my friend got a One X, that's Dead...pretty cheap...and we're trying to revive it.
up till now, the phone only vibrates when pressing the power button, screen doesn't wake up. how to access the bootloader "if it's even accessible"?
any way to know if it's fixable?
Uhh, it doesn't sound too easily fixable. If the screen isn't even turning on, you're off to a bad start. Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, not something you'll be able to flash to fix.

That's a hardware fault maybe faulty flex cable

if you look at the phone, it's very clean, i can tell it never had a smudge or any fall...also the screen is clean, no scratches. quite a catch! what could have made the flex cable go bad?!
in the boot animation the screen is quite good!
You say in the boot animation the screen is good, does it ever clear up entirely? You COULD get a display like that from software, but it's more than likely hardware. For example, running Gingerbread ROMs on the Infuse with Froyo bootloaders cause similar rainbow effects due to a change in coding, so you can POSSIBLY have a scrambled display without a hardware failure.
It may have just been a faulty phone and that's why it looks like it's in good shape. It's not necessarily something that someone broke. It could be a bad GPU chip, it could be a flex cable as mentioned, it could be a lot of things. If you (or rather your friend) got it for cheap, and you want to try opening it up to inspect the cables, you can find disassembly threads and videos to tell you how. You could be going on a wild goose chase though.

sometimes it boots up with that white messed up screen, sometimes it boots with the sense 4 lockscreen. lags a lot while trying to unlock the lockscreen, after that all hell breaks loose and screen becomes messed up pretty bad.
thanks for the tips man, i will try opening it up and having a look inside.
it could be a bad factory outlet as a friend suggested...

Well, hell, you can try reflashing the software if you can see enough in recovery mode (vol down and power at the same time). I can't see how it would hurt it any more. From the sound of it, you either have VERY messed up software, or more than likely, faulty hardware. Does it seem like the display works any better when it's been off for a while (cold)? If it gets worse the longer it's on, or if it had been on and you just rebooted, it would point more towards a faulty gpu chip to me and the heat causing the problem to come out.
Not sure about how warranties transfer or if they do at all (might depend country to country too), but you could see if it's still under warranty and can be sent in before you open it up.

What honestly it looks like to me is that they tried to flash a american version of a rom on to the phone so you have the improper bootloaders and such. hopefully this works for you.

I know I don't own an one x, but I do have a HTC Rezound, and I cracked the screen in it, and mine did the something while watching YouTube videos, but then it just went back to normal, this happened twice to me. I thought my screen was going out, but if yours is doing it and there's no physical damage, had to be something in the phone, or maybe software is that even possible? Lol.
Just thought I'd share what happened to me..

yes it could be a software issue. so your phone had that issue after changing your digitizer/screen? and then became normally by itself later on...?

yes, check your PM.
I've searched the forums for a while and haven't found an issue exactly like this..
At first my phone would boot and the soft keys would light up and the LED would shine while charging. Shortly after that, I had no display and no illumination whatsoever on my screen. I just disassembled the phone to make sure all of the bands and connecters are connected and they are fine. I have reason to believe the screen works because when I receive a call, i can press where I usually would to accept calls and it works.
I have done some research on getting a new digitizer, screen, ribbons, etc.. but it's just too costly to justify it seems.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Depends on where you go and who you get. The last time I went, the associate thought it was awesome that I have sense on my phone. If possible, Odin back though.
I did get around to blindly putting my phone into download mode and flashing the stock tar through odin.. I'm assuming the flash worked since I heard the stock boot/shutdown animation theme music accordingly.
Unfortunately the screen and the soft keys are still not illuminated. The QWERTY remains functional including backlighting.
My phone is no longer on any network, but do you think I could still take it up to a location and bs my way into getting at least a used equal or lesser value device?
Put it up on Fleabay as a clean ESN, broken screen phone and stop wasting our time while you try to scam Sprint.

You're right, certainly not an ethical option. I'm more of a DIY person though, as I'm sure I could say the same for everyone else here.

If your phone was not updated to 4.1.2 then this is called Sudden Death syndrome which happens in note 2 when it is on 4.1.1. I haven't experienced this but, i heard the only way is to replace the mother board. I think this is a hard brick and hence no one will be able to tell whether your phone was rooted or not.

Hi,
i just posted this query in another forum and the answer is you've the warranty you'll not be made to pay for this.
If you're not under warranty, it costs about half of the device cost.
Just let me know whats happens ok?
and also whether you were able to access download or recovery mode?
Here is the problem. I install a custom rom. it's working properly. but a few days ago, it says weather widget stop working. and i uninstall it using titanium backup. but after a few days later, the screen is not turning on but it got sound from the lockscreen and opening app drawer. i tried few ways. then, it's working again. but just now, it happened again. screen off. the boot and lockscreen can be hear properly. is it the rom problem or my screen problem? if it is my screen problem, how do i claim warranty since the device already rooted. please help me. this really made me sad. :crying:

If your screen is dead, they can't check if the phone is rooted until they fix the screen
Even if they fix the screen, they will most likely be too lazy to check if its rooted.

WOW. I didn't know someone can be an asshole this big.
I don't know man.....i don't think so :/
You could try removing the marker with something, and then try sending to the Store you bought it from.
The thing is, with a phone this expensive, no one will give up easily, if it was a 100-200$ phone you would get a replacement no doubt...
the sam but another problem...
Hey i have the Problem that i cant see anymore BUT i dont root or modified my Phone and i can see a colorful screen.
What do you think. is the screen damage or is it the GPU chip?

yeah. i was totally shocked when i found that written at the battery slot. Guess i'll jus go fix the lcd only since there is sound coming when i push the power button. they said it will cost about 400$ to repair it. 200$ for the lcd and 200$ for the main board. i think they just want it to be original just as new. that's why they want to change the main board. what do you think?
