brick galaxy w

hello,
I tried to swapper2 to increase ram of the galaxy w but after a reboot, the smartphone will not turn over.
connecting it via usb driver tells me qhsusb_dload not found.
how can I fix this?
Thank you.
sorry for my english.

I'm afraid that sounds like a hard brick. The qhsusb_dload thing is exactly what I had on my hard bricks. It means that the primary bootloader has been wiped. Nothing you can do about it except sending it in for service.

Guys, I saw Riff jtag mentioned by contributor alidsd here
This was the link given:
http://www.jtagbox.com/jtag-news/sa...samsung-ancora-unbrick-boot-repair-supported/

I think it corrupted the bootloader. In assistance could realize that the root has been done and that the kernel has changed?

i´ve also by mistake mess with the bootloader partition, it went to service and they replace motherboard. if you can´t turn the device on, they won´t notice because they will flash everything new. but i tink they will replace motherboard because the service provided by samsung in several countries is donne by companies that cooperate with samsung, it´s not samsung itself and they are the ones that have that kind of equipment. in my opinion take to warranty

[Q] A few questions related to Hard Brick and QHSUSB_DLOAD

I am now owner of what may very well be a Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S3 with the inability to reach Download Mode and computer not recognizing my handheld. It ll happen't as I unlocked my bootloader to go in fastboot mode, it was then, all over. But of course as desperate as it may look like I've done some researches on Google and some people with different models managed to have some magic done in a situation like mine, but since I didn't own the same device the solutions were of no avail for me. So my question is, is there any sort of trickery to help me come out of this misery? Such as force installing new QHSUSB_DLOAD specifically for a Samsung Galaxy S3 or some battery related magic that could help me reach Download Mode where I could flash a stock rom back in and get back to normal? Any help would be much appreciated.

this just happened to me as well today, not to happy, my heart sank in, did u find any solutions as far as fixing this qhusb thing?

AFAIK there is no fix, same deal on all phones with the same SoC, like the one x. I could be way wrong though and I hope I am. Hope you guys get up and running soon.

Most likely they will say that you voided your warranty so you may have to take it in to a JTAG service.

Any update on this? My phone did this to me last night when updating CWM. I'm about to go to Radio Shack to buy some resisters to see if I can force download mode, like on Captivates.
EDIT: Even though this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrZUrE5Nqj0) shows that the Jig works with the GS3, I was not successful in putting it into download mode. I was able to with my captivate, just to make sure I was on the correct pins.
Hopefully the AT&T store will just swap it out and leave it at that, since I pay for insurance...I don't want to have to send it away to mobiletechvideos.com for JTAG repair, but will if necessary.

You can look all you want for a solution, there is NOT one for this problem, other than find a jtag service. Period!

Wow, this is a complete waste of time. This will not work with SG3

Talking about "waist of time" you are in the wrong forum, the att sgs3 doesn't have locked bootloader (this is the att/bell/Rogers forum) Go to the Verizon sgs3 forum...

Regardless of where the phone came from the end result is still the same... you guys are hard bricked. The only available solutions to you atm (and trust me on this I hard bricked mine aswell) is
A - Send your phone in for warrenty/insurance, dont worry about everyone saying you cant because of voided warrenty... your bootloader is screwed and they wouldnt be able to tell anything about rooting/cwm etc.
B - if warrenty/insurance is unavailable to you then your only other options are to send it to samsung to get it repaired on your own dime. Or save yourself a bit of money and send it for jtag repair which is what I did. If you live in the states the guy can have your phone back in your hands usually within 4-5 business days.

hi there
i have an SDcard of 4GB i tried on 4 S3 i747M hard bricked phones its worked ....this card let them alive to download mode by pressing volume down key +home key + power. i want to share this image but when ever i connect this card to my PC (windows) its shows (need to format your card)
is there any software so i can make image and share...to help those who hard-bricked their phones.

I reject your reality, and substitute my own! Ah, anyway.. any updates on this? Its been a year or so.. I have the sprint s3, but i believe it had an insecure boot image flashed to it. The emmc boot method has failed me thus far. Not sure if it's because mine is a 32gb and the debrick files for for 16gb '(which shouldn't matter), if the board for my 32gb is affected by a brick bug, or what.. The qpst tool just seems like it's the perfect tool to fix a bad bootloader on any qualcomm phone, but all the guides I've found are for other phones still. I accidentally dd'd an image of my EFS partition to the sbl2 partition. I looked up the international s3 table by mistake

Yes. Download a live linux distro, like knopix or such. Any linux distribution will work, really. Then in a terminal you would do something like
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdX of=debrick-image.img
Where the "X" in "sdX" corresponds to the sdcard you want to copy. After you insert the card, in a terminal do:
Code:
dmesg | tail
and you should be able to see that it is sdb, sdc, sdd, etc. Google the usage of "dd" if you need more info.

Thanks for info i'll try this today

No Pit Partition.. Am I bricked?

Hello,
2 Days ago my phone unlocked galaxy note 2 in the uk stopped working in the middle of the night, no idea how, My borthers phone stopped the same night also.
My friends note 2 got an OTA update the next morning but his is working fine.
SInce then my phone wont go past the first boot screen, it is completely stock and has no custom rom or root.
I took it to a samsung repair centre they put it in DL mode and they said i had a custom rom and they cant help..
Iv come home and i have tried to now flash a new firmware, i have then tried to flash CWM via odin but it comes up with a message..
No pit partition
then it fails...
Anyone have any ideas? what has caused this the OTA update? Both me and my brother bought the phones directly through samsung trade but my friend bought his through phones 4 u..
The update my friend got was N7100xxdmb2
ANy ideas or help is greatly appreciated

HI and thanks for quick response!
When i plug in to charge i get a single red flash on the further left light, then the battery image appears witht he spinning circle but then it freezes there, the usual green battery filling doesnt occur. When i disconnect the screen is frozen witht eh battery picture on screen.
In download mode i get:
Odin Mode (in red)
Product name :
Custom Binary Download :NO
Current BInary : Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Thanks again

Sorry to say but yes its bricked, and this is happened due to bug in older rom. It's sds (sudden death syndrome)
Another thing your binary counter on download mode is 'no'
And they can't reject earranty claim, you have to convince them. Otherwise you have to pay for it and you will need to change motherboard, which is costly.

Ok thats a shame, pretty poor in my opinion..
Has this affected many others? and was it caused by the OTA update failing or something?
Thanks for the help and i assume that you are certain that i cant fix with software?

Yes there are lots of people affected by this bug just search sds /sudden death in forum. This is purely poor samsung crap and s3 and note2 both devices have same bug (badically faulty emmc chip), you can't fix it with sw once it bricked, latest rom 4.1.2 released in 2013 have fixed for it, but that just can prevent device from getting bricked, who already have bricked have to just replace motherboard.
Sorry and I can feel for it. But you should not put down and let them to know about it to reclaim warranty.
Your downloaf mode information don't suggest you had custom rom, and all the sds victims have same information and got replacement.

really annoying but... im sure in time i will get over it!
thanks for the help and the reply.
just one last question - when the system status says : custom , what exactly does this mean? and what's the difference between that and official. i am asking as i want to make sure im armed with enough information should they decide to get all official with me!
thanks again.

It should official but
I have seen lots cases who never have flashed any custom stuff and having status Modified, so I think they won't Stand up with argument. Yes if your binary download is non zero then it certainly proves you have flashed custom stuff. I have seen more than 20 sds cases on note2 and I really not remember if anyone have status 'official' and I believe this sds issue itself causing status Modified.

Just upgrade your FW. Fix has been implemented since January, 2013 in Samsung FWs.

I am having the exact problem as the OP. Were you able to fix it? I got my phone from eBay, contacted Samsung Canada, and they said I'd have to go contact Samsung Hong Kong

Help to repair the phone stucked on Qload state

I wrote this request in another thread and I think hasn't been read by many people, so I opened a specific thread.
Our phone may remain stucked for several reasons in a QLOAD 9008 device state, or similar device (easily verifiable even with Windows). It's better to test a solution very simple and useful for all.
To do this is required to extract some files residing in an area of ​​the phone's memory and only a working phone can be used to extract a dump of this files following how explained in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136738
Don't think an hardbrick can't happens to you, it may happens and without a tested solution your phone may become a paperweight. Alas my phone is bricked (!), I cannot extract any file from it, I can only try to repair the phone but I need this files to test this method. I invite anyone who has care of his phone to read the topic linked above and try to extract the files needed to repair the phone locked in QDLOAD mode (05c6:9008), we have only this way to unbrick the hardbricked phone for free (if the phone warranty is expired or invalid).
I thank anyone (uhm... mr. Arco68?...) who gives a hand to solve the "Qload 9008 mode" brick problem with this method!

I hope that someone will help you.

I've read the thread, and I'm willing to help... but what exactly I have to do?
Honestly, I can't make any sense of the thread...

Today, or as soon as possible, I'll try to make backups of the bootloader, partition table and a .pit from an i9100. If I cannot do that, as soon as possible I will try with a i9001 that has hardware very similar to the i8150. I hope I can do it, so I will explain here how to do it step by step to allow other users do the same more easily. Stay tuned!

When you open up ODIN, make sure you "Run as Administrator" and the Sammy usb drivers are installed, above PDA, theres a box PIT.. click the box and browse to the PIT file on your PC and select it.. it appears in the box next to PIT button, then put a tick in the box Re-Partition, put the ROM in PDA then click Start and off you go.
So far as I know, you only use ODiN for stock roms, plus,. Im pretty sure Stock Roms are All in one PDA file now.
Anyway, hope that helps
Good Luck

Looks like SDS. Anyways, have to wait for experts to review it.
By the way, which ROM you were using before this has happened?
As you do not have Custom Binary counter set, I hope you can claim the warranty. So just go ahead in claiming warranty,

The phones with SDS issue will have blank in Product code field as well as the Binary status will be custom.. You shouldn't have any problem in claiming warranty if you have it's bill/invoice/warranty card...
By the way, din't you check the phone before buying? You said that it was like that while buying.. You should have returned it to the previous owner itself.. Incase you do not get warranty, this will cost you huge money to repair as the motherboard replacement is the only solution... Instead of that, its better you put some more money and buy new.

First off all that blank in product code problem i had it, and i buy the phone on the web in second hand, i try to reach the guy who sell me the phone and as it was from expect he didnt had the bill/invoice/warranty card, correct me if im wrong or being dumb, but if they released the phone only in 2012, September, even i buy it on the first day, didn´t past 2 years yet,
i took the phone to they, and they make a couple of questions like if i rooted the phone, i asked them what is rooting (ahahha), and they said, that will give it a see and then call me,
About the possibility of buy a new one, that only cost me 130 pounds, about 154 euros, so it was a nice deal, if they charge me more that 50 euros, wich i think they will i will buy a Jtag Riff box and repair emmc myself, or buy the chip here and solder him myself at home, but if that happens i will spread everywhere that samsung sucks and show my indignation and anger about them.
