My samsung galaxy note 2 got bricked!

Hello everyone I have bricked my note 2 and suddenly I can't boot because it's stucked on the Samsung Logo. After i installed a font program it said that I had to reboot and then I did.
And then I was trying to recover with "recovery-cwm-6.0.1.5-N7100"
But right now it doesn't display more than Samsung galaxy note 2...
Would be awesome if you guys can help me

Well youre in luck because if it showing a Samsung logo its not bricked.
Second just flash the factory image found in the android development forum. You can do this by booting into download mode by holding the power button and home button and volume down as it boots and then use odin to flash the .tar factory image you just downloaded...its simple really. So dont panic because its entirely fixable!
Just go find a guide on how to flash factory images and youll find step by step Instructions

I'd have to be shown it is possible to brick a high end samsung device. Between recovery and in the worst cases Odin or in some cases emergency recovery in Kies I have recovered from a complete non bootable phone. No vibrate, no splash screen, nothing. One of the real positives to Samsung and their software. An, as far as I am concerned, virtually unbrickable smartphone.

Ill tell you a way. Go flash some roms from other phones see what kind of damage that does. Most people dont make efs backups until its too late. See jow many times you can flash in correct roms before you lose that all important imei

If you soft-bricked your phone because you messed up the fonts like me just now, you don't have to reflash the entire ROM!
Instead it's enough to just restore the fonts via one of the zip files found [URL="]http://tips4droid.com/how-to-install-jelly-bean-font-by-flashing-it-through-cwm-recovery/#.US8t2Ddc1ic"here:[/URL]
I copied the zip file to my external SD card and then used CWM Recovery to install it to my phone.
To enter CWM Recovery, press Volume UP, Home and Power Button at the same time.
Hope this is helpful!

Although Im sure he appreciates the tip, this thread is almost 4 months old, and Im sure its been fixed and/or replaced by now.

There might be others, such as me, you know...

what i did the other day was.....
i was installing different ROMs. maybe 3 or 4 a day just to get a feel for different ones. Since i am using a t889 on NET10's ATT network, i wanted to ATTEMPT to change over my phones hardware or internal settings to pick up the ATT towers better... my phone is already unlocked for ATT, so whatever im attempting is not needed. not knowing exactly what I'm doing I confused myself a bit. I went to the GooManager recovery page and was wiping all my information so i can install another ROM. while wiping the information off my phone, i was browsing through my SD card i had in the phone and saw a modem pack i put on it. FORGETTING that i just deleted everything i went ahead and just installed the modem pack and rebooted my phone. lol it got stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXT NOTE 2 page. my MAC, PC & KIES on both weren't picking up my phone via USB. i left the phone attached to my PC and went to get dinner. came back 2 hours later and saw that my phone was connected to the computer. I ran ODIN, put a stock image of tmobiles system on the phone and had to start over with my ROM experiment.
needless to say, i was bummed thinking that i just broke such a nice phone.

[Q] Phone stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go into recovery

Hey everyone
I've got a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I've got a huge problem.
It first started out with me trying to root my phone, everything seemed to go well until i tried to turn my phone on, which resulted in it being stuck on the samsung logo, I snooped around the internet trying to find a solution and was recommended to reflash with different tar files but nothing worked. I tried to reset to factory settings through recovery mode but I couldn't even access the recovery mode. I then tried to get back to factory settings using Samsung Kies but after the whole installation it didn't seem to work either. I tried almost everything possible, I checked out every link on the first page of google relating to my problem yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is enter download mode and that's it.

Very different internals in your Galaxy S3 Mini compared to the tmobile galaxy s3 t999. Did you flash using the methods from this forum? If so youre using the wrong files. Head on over to s3 mini sub forum and see if you can get some answers there.

Yea that was for the original s3 varients not the mini. Spend some time over at the other forum and see what they have to say. Take it slow too! Its better to spend a day or two without a phone and getting it right then to rush a fix and end up ruining it!!
the fact that you can still enter download mode is good though. If kies still recognizes your phone when its in download mode then I think it will be an easy fix. Again though, research over on that subforum as it will be your best bet!

Ynt: [Q] Phone stuck on the Samsung logo and won't go into recovery
You can use Odin to flash another rom. I have been in the same situation and rooted with stock rom via odin and succeed.

Thanks for the new breath of hope! I thought this phone was completely done for. I'd gladly have no phone for a week or two as long as I get a fix for it.

I think we've all been in that situation before! I hard bricked my sprint s3 by flashing an internation rom...oops. there was no saving that one

Me too
yeah well i've got the same problem. I accidentally turn off my phone via removing the battery while its still on . Then after that , it's stuck on the samsung logo . What to do ?

Boot recovery and factory reset. (If it's stock recovery it will wipe your internal sdcard)
If that doesn't work Odin flash the stock firmware.

[Q] Is it bricked or...?

I've been searching for an answer to this since before Christmas...I haven't found anything that's worked.
I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2. I attempted the Jedi Mind Trick Rom (I'm pretty sure that's what it was called...it's been so long I can't really remember all of the details). And my phone hasn't turned on since. I've been told that it's hard bricked and I'm willing to accept that, but I thought before I threw in the towel once and for all I'd see if anyone on here could shed some light on this. When I connect it to my computer, the computer recognizes it and wants me to format it and then tells me it can't format it. Then constantly (like every few seconds) the message pops up (see attached pics). I'm hoping someone out there can tell me if that's normal of a bricked phone or if by some miracle it's holding on by a tiny thread and there's something I can do to revive it. My fiancé and I had the same phone, so I've been able to put a fully charged battery in it, but still nothing. I think I've tried every button combo possible, too. Well...hope someone has some insight on this. Thank you in advance!!!!

A quoted by keithross39:
Ok.....so there are several different levels of "brick"......
Bootloop.....recovery and download modes are both accessible and wiping cache and dalvic will fix the problem....
Softbrick 1....recovery and download modes are accessible, wiping cache and dalvic doesn't solve things but reflashing the ROM in recovery does......
Softbrick 2....Only download mode accessible....flashing a firmware via odin fixes the problem.....
Hardbrick 1.....neither recovery or download modes are accessible, but you still get the battery charging symbol appearing when you plug in your charger....a jig *might* get you into download mode, a jtag *might* also help......
Hardbrick 2 (aka...call in the undertaker).....no recovery, no download, no signs of life even if the charger is plugged in....jig and jtag will NOT help.....mainboard replacement by Samsung the only option......
On that list....where are you? And what were you doing to the phone to cause it?. Also, what firmware/ROM were you on before it went "pear shaped"?.......

This happen to my t989 after I flash wrong rom so I just call te mobile to replace my phone so they gone send me new one I try everything and nothing work

For last-ditch recovery attempts I generally recommend installing Kies and seeing if it can do a full factory restore on your phone. It'll write over everything from bad ROMS to bad radios and leave you right at whatever stock is being pushed right now. Then you can re-start the tinkering from that base.

SGH-I747 Bricked to hell and Back again!!

SOooO I'm just some tinkering nut that likes to check out all of the roms out there for my devices. Flashing is worse than crack for me. I have bricked de-bricked and re-bricked this poor little galaxy and updated to 4.3 and downgraded back to 4.0 all to make it look like it just came out of the box again. nice clean bootloader. A factory rom. 0 flash count which is simply nutz since this thing should be a stripper I have flashed it with so many Roms and Mods. I have pretty much every file you can think of for this device on my computer and I am more than happy to share my information and tips with the community here at xda.
If you think you need some assistance and don't want to spend 3days hopped up on pizza and mt.dew searching every inch of the forums looking for answers feel free to ask me and I can try my best to help out.
I have almost every custom Rom out for this device.
I have Custom Kernels from chapters 4.0.3 - 4.1.1 - 4.3 - 4.4
I have Debrick Images from the first three chapters will make one for 4.4 when I see a stable Rom
I have Stock Rom Files
I have updated Stock Rom Files.
I have updated rooted no knox Files
I have a crap load of continuous hours of searching breaking and Fixing this poor little thing.
I would have made a Tutorial page but it looks like there are plenty on the forums. I KNOW I've read them all:silly:
so I would rather put my knowledge to use in letting you simply ask me a question and I will reply as quickly as possible.
I know its going to sound nubcake. Buuut.... this is my daily device and I know how frustrating it can be when you have made one of them fatal mistakes and your device goes black or won't flash your new custom rom you want to test out.
Shoot some questions my way and see if I can't help you out quicker than you searching the 4 corners of the net.

If I had to take a wild guess and you still have access to cwm or twrp flash the stock rom and you should be good.

If you go from the 4.3 bootloader to a previous one, you will brick your device via an e-fuse. You shouldn't need to revert to an older bootloader anyway unless for a specific rom. If that is the case, you are better off waiting until the developer catches up.

Sudden Death AT&T GS3
Hi,
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3. I was running CM11 nightlies. It was working perfectly fine for all these days. Couple of days back it suddenly died. The phone hasn’t been switching on back since then. I tried putting it on full charge. Whenever I pull out the battery and reinsert it, it vibrates, The LED comes on and the Samsung screen comes on for a second and turn turns off again. I cannot access the recovery or download modes through the key combinations. I also tried going into download mode using a Jig. I have to remove the battery and reinsert it. The Jig did work and the phone did go into download mode but, only for a second and then turns off. I’m not sure what exactly the issue is.
I would be very grateful if you could help me find a solution.
Thanks.

once again not for your device but scroll down to stock firmwares and READ the whole guide. There is a kid that makes a video some where arround here as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125 you need a 16gb class 10 sdcard or larger as well for this

Disk Space Back
I had trouble getting my max disk space after I did the debrick trick. So i'm going to shoot a quick tip to get all your space back.
go to your windows start menu and in the search type diskpart and hit enter.
in the command line type "list disk" no quotations and enter.
You should see your hard drive and any other storage devices connected in you computer. Determine which one is the sd card.
Next in the command line hit select disk x. x represents your sdcard.
last is clean disk in command line and your sd card has all its space but you must reformat it how ever you choose.
I just used sd formater.
hope that helps some peeps if so hook a noob up with some thanks clicks. :good:

*I bought this off a friend of mine.*
All he told me was that he tried installing a rom and he thinks that he installed a rom for a different model S3.
What Happens/What I Did?
1. I tried to plug it into the computer and the computer doesn't show that anything plugged in, the S3 doesn't turn on. NOTHING.
2. I connected the phone to the PC without the battery inside and the phone responds with one RED light at the top left of the phone. Nothing shows up on my computer still, not even that the phone was connected NOTHING.
3. I bought a JIG device and tried plugging it into my phone and it doesn't work. (I previously tested this JIG on another samsung device and it worked)
4. I tried doing the method to use a 16gb SD card and downloading an i747m debrick IMG and using Win32FlashTool to copy it to my SD Card. I tried with 2 different cards the first one was a 16gb SD card and the other was a 32gb SD card.
5. Through a lot of research I found a leaked way to unbrick the Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 by shorting out the R313 chip, I'm sure you guys are all aware of this method. I opened my device and couldn't find the R313 chip. After further research I found that a user was able to locate the R313 chip on the i747m and he'd unbricked his phone with that method. If anyone can help me locate the i747m R313 chip it'd be GREATLY appreciated!
If anyone can help me out it would be great! I'm very experienced at soldering so if there's a method that requires me to solder I'm more than confident I can do it.
Thank you!! :good:

I am not an expert but I'm pretty sure you need the mjb2 but there are guides all over that point misleading information. I can post a link that I believe is helpful. And as always I take no credit just pointing a finger here.

[Q] Xperia Z1 Compact HARD BRICKED

So I had a custom firmware on my Z1C and I followed a tutorial and how to go back to stock firmware.I followed the instructions and now my phone is hard bricked. My phone's led lights either flashes red, does one short flash of red and then one long one, or when it's plugged into a wall charger it's green. I tried all different variations on turning on the phone but it won't simply turn on. There were other tutorials on using Sony Companion and other updaters but that didn't work because everytime I'd plug my phone in. My PC recognizes an ADB driver but the it says it failed.
I think this would help me fix it but I don't quite understand how to do this. I already opened up my phone but can someone please explain on how to do this.

I tried using this link and the one I provided before combined but I think I need certain downloads or something to do it.

Can someone basically just show me how I can unbrick my phone the way using the test point and GND. Please, my phone really needs to come back, and It'd be cool if you showed me how to go back to the official stock rom too. HELP ME PLEASE

Would be good to know which custom rom you had, which tutorial you followed and which rom you installed to brick it

That sucks man, are you gonna buy a new one? I mean a bricked phone is per definition not fixable.
...So is it really bricked or did you just **** up and want help with it? Change your topic.
