[Q] How to unbrick S8500(Cheapest way)

Hello guys!
I guess the possibly of bricking this phone is going to be higher with the new update and even if not i think it would be great if we had a thread that explains how to Unbrick S8500. I'm a developer and a fast learner and my plans is to join the android porting project but first i need the tools to unbrick the phone(mine is not bricked.. yet).
So i found this :
multi-com.pl/index.php/en_US,details,id_pr,8047,menu_mode,categories.html
Very Cheap and seems easy to use. I guess some wires(cable) are missing so if anyone could link the products(tools) that are missing.
Would be nice if we could help each other to have a good tread that could help people to unbrick S8500.

This is additional help for solderless connection...
You need JTAG Hardware... see here:

Around 99 Euro or more... only with big luck less money...
Best Regards

New Amontec JtagKey should do also. But can't confirm it yet - still not getting proper JTAG enumeration on mine similiar thing. (soldering issue most likely)
//edit: Oh yea, original jtagkey is kinda expensive. But there are some constructions based on it and much cheaper.

can you suggest me the best way of unbrick the s8530 i am newer in this my phone is not starting and there's no sign of charging i tried to find out but nothing happen.....

Depend on what happens...
Maybe more details...
Why dead?
During Flashing with Multiloader or other Firmwareupdate procedure?
Key Combination for Download Mode work?
Are you sure battery is full enough... not empty?
Best Regards

i guess its not battery problem ...i consult to samsung care they its not battery ...is there any way of find out what exact problem is ..

Can someone help me install jellybean?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Android 2.3.6 on my phone and I'd like to update it to a recent Android firmware (4.4). What exactly will I need to install and also will I need to backup my files in case it formats the device before running the update?

first, start reading n try to understand.
if u dun understand then start asking, no body willing spoon feed anyone. :cyclops:
start with this;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941028
very important notes:
warnings r everywhere, do not ignore them, do it at your own risks.
1) once u start, warranty is void.
2) high chance of bricking phone, then u can buy a new more powerful n cheaper phone. :good:
good luck.

here is a nice video about brick risk.

[Q][Canadian i317m] Hidden Menu Unlock? MK5 4.3 & NH2 4.4.2

Sorry for asking this but with lots of people making topics about same topic its geting confusing.
Can we keep a sticky on how and what works then lock it?
I'm looking to unlock 2 x Note II I317M's
# 1.) Is running NH2 4.4.2 Firmware
# 2.) Is running MK5 4.3 Firmware
So can I just downgrade the modems to MODEM_I317MVLALJ2 If so how can I do this?
Only asking because some are saying you can and some are saying you can't. Sorry again for asking this. I just don't want to brick these phones. One is for my pregnant wife and one is for me as our 2.5yr old broke both of ours and got these ones second hand but they are locked. Just don't want this to be wasted money.
Thank you all xda'ers in advance

Anyone?

Wow thanks guys your input was helpful and it works.
Oh wait no one gave input.
Anyways for others. its only the modem you flash not rom.
Some say rom but you just need the modem.
thanks again xda'ers ill be sure not to come to this site again for help.
What's rude is is that people donate $ and phones for support yet onece new device is out yiu really don't give support. If no support then refund donations.

If you down grade to 4.1.1, you can unlock the devices using the service menu. The only way you can get 4.1.1 onto the device is using Odin. There is a tutorial somewhere on xda that gives you the step-by-step.

I would've posted links but it's not so simple on app, also if you can't be bothered to search and read on complex topics, which might result in you destroying your expensive phone, maybe you shouldn't be undertaking them.
What's wrong with today's society is people expect everything handed to them on a plate, with little or Jo effort on their part.

+1. I agree. People can't be expected to be spoon fed all the time. Just search it! It's that simple.

What else could we expect from a user (OP) whose nickname seems mispelled?
