[Q] Blue light, Nothing else goes on!

I know there must be somewhere in the thread but i can't find one with the same problem as mine. I was in middle of odin to put my phone back to stock. and it was stuck for over a half hr at the same place. so i unplugged it and tried to put it back on but it wont go the only thing that turns on is the blue light. i already tried the jig. its a no go. how can i unbrick this phone?

My phone has shut itself off then when i try to turn it back on i get nothing but a blue light what worked for me was taking the battery out for a couple minutes then trying it again. Have you tried that?

That happened to me when the phone first came out. Only a blue light came on and nothing else. Even the jig didn't work. I ended up just selling it and buying a new one. I hope someone has figured out a way to fix it for you

You have hard bricked your phone most likely. Like it was said, you can try to remove the battery for a few minutes to see if resetting the capacitors will fix it but I am ninety nine percent sure that it will not work. You have two options.
1) Play dumb at a sprint store
2) JTAG repair from mobiletechvideos
What you have done is flashed over the bootloader so you can no longer boot it or plug it into the computer. Can you post a link to the file that you flashed? My guess is that you flashed an i9000 tar and PIT which is not compatible with the E4GT. Not all Galaxy S2 phones are the same. In fact, they are all different.

I did the exact same thing when I first rooted my phone but by the grace of god odin still recognized it so I was able to flash back to stock.

That my friend is exactly right. Your cell is gone... Swap or jtag is your only options.

I am going to give the, "taking the battery out for a couple of min", a shot... I was afraid that those two were my last options. The phone is maybe 2 months old and I am not with sprint anymore. Is there a way to claim through warranty or something?

Good question... I do believe that there is a one year manufacturer warranty, but don't know how you would go about making a claim. I would definitely recommend the jtag service its only like $50. Even sprint would charge you $35 to swap if you were still with the m. So if you look at out that way $15 more ain't so bad.

Remove battery. Replace. Plug into charger. Does the batt charging screen come on? If so hold power until it boots. Done. Do your happy dance.. If no charge indication = brick.

The batt recharge didnt come on ill see if i can somehow claim by samsung if not then ill have to send it in to jtag

Dude that's a bummer. Good luck. Hwy keep us updated on how it turns out.

This same thing happened to me!
What did you end up doing?

This happened to me too, but after flashing gunslinger kernel. I did a battery pull, then it let me boot into recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

same thing happened to me, went back to best buy where i got it and said "i dont know what happened", got a new one on the spot.
On top of it, when i got it at best buy they price matched amazon mobile, so i got it for 130

I Also bought it from Best Buy! But it was two months ago... You think i can still do it by them?

After an hour of searching forums I had realized that the phone was dead and wasn't coming back on. I too had the same blue light problem, couldn't get into recovery, couldn't do anything with the black screen. I took it to Sprint, and they don't have the capability of turning it back on in store. I believe this needs to be done by Samsung, and I imagine Best Buy wouldn't be able to either. The tech told me if he could not repair it, it would be replaced. My concern was the ship time and getting a refurbished unit. He told me because the phone was so new they are almost always replaced with a new unit. He said it was $35 because I didn't have insurance, but to "Come back after an hour, and if I can't fix it and it is insured it will be replaced free of charge." I went home, had Sprint add insurance, went back to the store a couple hours later. They swapped out my unit for a brand new one, free of charge, in about 5 minutes, activated and all. I was very pleased with how everything went as I was PISSED at myself for bricking my phone so bad! In all my years of hacking Palm Pres and Evos I never bricked a phone so bad that it couldn't be powered back on! But now I have a new GS2 (ROOTED )!
I recommend just trying a Sprint Repair Center. I bought mine over the phone. I played dumb and said that I let it die completely, which I rarely do, and when I charged it the blue light went on and it never powered back up. They said that was weird but gave no qualm about it. Hope this helps..

Any hope for my HARD, yes HARD BRICKED galaxy nexus?

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

Send it to a service center and say "I downloadz app and it won't turn onz"

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

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

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.

My USB is not working. What can i do?

Ive had this phone since the day it came out, and since then its been dropped several times. My phone is rooted and now my usb crapped out on me.
It does not charge properly(very slow charging) on top of that when i connect it to a computer it will not recognize it at all. I know its not the wire either cause i tried with a different phone and a different computer, my phone wasnt being recognized as a mass storage.
I took it back to tmobile and a new phone is sopposed to come in but, im scared about the warranty being voided because my phone is rooted. I tried making it as stock as i could by flashing a stock rom. But that actually kinda made things worse cause now i dont have cwr , no root, and no usb so i cant use download mode to odin flash. My phone still has darkside's kernel on it too and i tried looking for a stock kernel and theyre all for odin.
So i guess when it comes right down to it, is there a way to get a stock kernel on my phone? I really dont want them coming back to me and saying the warranty is voided cause its rooted :/ is there anything i can do?

I sent my Vibrant to Mobile Tech Videos to get my USB port replaced. They charge $35.00 and it got back to me in 10 days. Just giving you another option if your scared to send it to T-Mobile.

Well i already contacted tmobile and they going to send me a new phone. It wont be in for another week.
Ill just turn it in and cross my fingers lol
what will they do if they mark it for voided warranty anyways?

Worst they can do is charge you money

Actually ..the worst they can do is keep your phone for a month and a half, call you and tell you its ready, make you go pick it up only to find out it hasn't been fixed because it was damaged by liquid (even thought all stickers are 100% clean).
Yes indeed.. this is indeed what Telus did to me.
In any case, I called Samsung and they took care of the problem for me. Turned out to be a defective USB jack that they just replaced, and they ignored my CM7 install (although they did seem to reflash it back to stock for some reason)... They did not find 'water' damage so the repair was done under warranty.
I don't know about TMo but Telus tends to drop the ball in these kind of situations.

I've sent mine back 3 times rooted and never had a problem. They just send you a refurbished one. I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case you can always brick it then they definitely won't know it was rooted.

[Q] Hard Bricked, possibly hardware?

Hey guys,
I've been having issues for the past month or so with random reboots while using the phone followed by boot loops requiring a battery pull to get it to work again. At first I thought it was a software issue, so I returned to stock, which didn't help, and then installed a few other roms. I'm 99% sure it is a hardware failure, as now the phone is completely dead. It was fine when I went to bed, and in the morning it showed no signs of power (or heat). I tried 2 different batteries and 3 chargers, so I'm pretty sure it's toast. It does not show up in the device manager so I can't odin or KIES recover to stock, or do anything else with it for that matter. Download mode doesn't work, and the phone is literally a useless hunk of plastic.
Having said that, I am getting a replacement phone. What I'm concerned about is if the storage on the phone will be examined upon receipt by either T-Mo or Samsung. I was using CM10 when it went dark, however because it was working (with the random reboots still) the night before I'm pretty sure it's not a flashing issue (as it worked fine after the flash, well as fine as a phone does that randomly reboots).
Do they have the capability to remove the storage from the phone and check it against something else? Is there a way to wipe it without being able to odin/power it on?
Am I over thinking this? Will they just send it back to samsung who will test the power, then pitch the phone?
Is there anything else I should try to do to fix it?
Thanks for your time.

You could by a USB download mode jig for like $5 to see if it can get you into download mode. I wouldn't worry about the storage too much.

If it's completely bricked (like can't even get the bootloader to pick up), not charging, and still under warranty, odds are they will just replace it without wasting too much time on it.

Would the download jig do anything better than just plugging it into the computer with the buttons down? I didn't flash a bad kernel or anything like that (as in it booted and rebooted a few times without new issues) and it was a sgh-t989 kernel (which I used the buttons to get into recovery with).
I do have the replacement on the way, as it's my work phone too so I really need it next week. If the general consensus is not to worry about it I may just leave it. The water indicator isn't pink so I'm in good shape, and if they see it's bad and it's not worth the time to repair I doubt they would audit it/do additional tests.
Also, on the plus side I had 1 tiny microscratch in the year I've had the phone and it would fill with finger oils (really only obnoxious on white backgrounds). Here's to a scratch free screen!

Are you sure your phone does not charge or it just doesn't simply turn on? Try testing your battery, maybe if a friend has a similar GS2 you can try your battery with his to see if it still works. The try the USB Jig mentioned above to get in to download mode if you haven't done so yet.
Depending on when you got your phone and if you have the original receipt you can try contacting Samsung and get a RMA code to send the phone to a be fixed at a support center. Your last option would be to sell the phone for parts if it's still in any good condition. Good luck!

Since you seem like the type who likes to mess around with things, you can try making a USB jig on your own. This site has great instructions on how to do so. If you have a USB cable which I'm sure you do and go to your closest electronics store you can find some resistors. Hopefully that will help you out before you go ahead with buying the Note 2, GS4 or whatever the next expensive flagship phone is, lol. Good luck!

first make sure you are brick if i remember you can get in to download mode even with batt removed now if for sure brick or broke to no turn on now you can take your pick
if you have tmo warranty that is the fastest and free if they fine its not your fault if it is then will cost 150 to replaces whole phone if i remember right but the phone comes in mail fast they send new phone you send in old takes 1 day
go with samsung the same but if they find its broke and your fault idk how much they cost but it will take longer to fix 2 days to ship phone their 2-3 to process and fix and 2 to send back

Yeah per my original post I couldn't get into download mode, and the failure wasn't caused by an improper kernel flash.
I got the replacement through T-Mobile today, and sent the old out.

[Q] my galaxy note 2 wont start (urgent please help)

Dear all,
I am in deep trouble , my phone was working fine yesterday night but some how today in the morning when I was trying to switch it on the phone wont respond no startup logo nothing I tried to remove the battery/ sim/ memory card but still nothing happening I tried to plug the phone to laptop but it is not responding even I connected my phone with the charger no signs is it really charging or not, but still I tried to charge the phone for atleast 7-8 hours , only thing which I am getting is the red identification light keeps blinking when I try to switch on the phone , otherwise phone seems to be completely dead.
I am rooted & I have jelly bean 4.1.1, any help in this regard will be appreciated ... because I already have void the warranty by rooting although I have set the binary counter to zero through triangle away app.
thank you very much.

I think that your phone have SDS. But in your case i would check battery and charger - if that wont help just send it to warranty (if this is SDS its hard to check that you have root

I must say you should flash ur note2

thanks for the reply, I have tried 3-4 different chargers but no work for my phone for battery I have to check it, I heard that same crazy stuff were happening with SG-S3 but I is not the case with note 2, SDS means they have to replace some hardware components will it going to effect my data in phone also.
thanks again.

Dear member, thanks for the advise but it is not possible as my phone is not detectable by PC, so flashing is not possible until you tell me some other way.

If download mode not work in my opinion there is no way to bring it to life at home. Only replace motherboard can help.
Yes the same bug is in SGS3 (same eMMC chip on board). This is happening on 16 GB variant of sgs3 and note2. To avoid this next time use android 4.1.2 (Samsung propably fix this, - risk of SDS on newest roms are lower).
Try to check voltage on battery.

Have you ever flashed it before.. if not then you can claim warranty
If you have flashed it once or more the counter will raise and samsung might be a b*tch about it and charge you for it (like they did with me)
The thing you should not do at all if its the SDS is flash it because it will not write NAND and will always fail then

Guys just today I have seen this thread...

SDS chances are high on my device also, as the symptoms seems to be the same for me, I didn`t have the chance to check my phone chip but I did buy the phone on 20th Oct 2012, so fingers cross, I will recommend to go through the above thread, to safe yourself from any unpredictable hassle.
Wish me a best of luck, I will going to visit service center today.

^^
Good luck :angel:

SOrry to say its SDS the moment i saw your OP about the red light thing i was able to make out.

My first Note 2 died exactly this way....unrepairable and not covered under warranty due to glass being cracked.... On my second one now at MY expense

Hi guys,
The update is my mother board was effected & replaced also, I lost all my data from sd card, board is replaced by service center at their cost as it was in the warranty so luckyly rooting my device did not make any issue, they have installed the latest firmware jelly bean 4.1.2 which they told me will make sure not to happen again
