Hey guy today I was planning on updating my gio to ics via galaxyics.com but before I did that I tried to backup my rom via rom manager and it went all wrong. After I hit the OK button my phone turned off and would not turn on via power button or charging (even removed the battery for 15minutes) I can't get it on at all. So if my knowledge is correct is this not hard bricking and how could I fix it. I no it won't be easy but what if I flashed my phones internal memory somehow and reloaded android to it. Would that work? Other options please help. If nothing works btw how much do you think i could get for it on eBay or something (maybe as parts)?
Take it to service center, they will fix it for free as long as you say you didn't root it. Sorry man, but this is the same hard brick i got a couple of months ago

If you own a Gio, don't install ROM Manager on it - you have a better chance bricking your phone than doing anything useful with it.

Then, try to get into download mode. If you are not able to, you have to pay in service

Ya I'm gonna try to get it into download again when I get home but I wasn't having any luck prior but what would they do if I sent it away in comparison to what I can do at home.
Last time i used rom manager nothing worked, downloadmode, recovery, booting. Give up this thing needs to be repaired there is nothing you can do.

Alpacino: they would in all likelihood change the motherboard.
If you're in the Montreal area there is an authorized Samsung service centre near the 40 and Cavendish, it's called Service Absolut. I would suggest you take your phone there. You might even be able to wait while they repair it.
As per my experience and this thread you will need some proof of purchase though to get warranty service.
Good luck,
Darkshado
Got the same brick. It worked only after they've changed its motherboard!

Unfortunately I'm about 12 hours from Quebec but on the up side I found full schematics for tthe phone last night. Now I am curious to why you say the mother board as I assumed the boot pprocedures where stored on the internal memory of the phone hence why they got damaged not in the bios of the motherboard.How much you think a new board will run me?
Nothing with a bit of luck

The thread I linked to also has a Samsung phone number worth trying to get a shipping label for the service center (be it the one in Montreal or another, they have a few). And they shouldn't really care who your carrier is as long as you have a proof of purchase (even something with the original seller's name on it and note of some sort might work).
I was overwriting CWM Recovery with a different version so that I could install CM10 and when it restarted the screen went black. Now it won't turn on no matter what. I've tried holding VolUp-Home-Power, VolDown-Home-Power, Home-Power, just Power, just home, just VolUp, just VolDown, and nothing. I've tried plugging it into the wall, nothing. As if there were no battery in it at all.
So obviously I made a mistake somewhere. It happens. Not blaming anybody. Does anyone have any other suggesstions for me to try before I send it away for repairs?

Many thanks for the response and posting a helpful thread.
The farthest I've got is unplugging the battery, plugging in the USB and getting a Red Led turned on. It wouldn't do that with the battery inside.
I've tried using Odin and the Tookit from that thread but neither will detect the phone. Also, Windows won't detect the phone even with Samsung's drivers.
Thanks for trying though, I really appreciate it. I'm assuming it's hard bricked and no other way to fix it than to send it off to Samsung.
If warrenty is a possibility I say don't waste any time. Don't tell them what you were doing obviously...they can't verify that your rooted anyways in its current state. If warrenty or insurance isn't a option then one service that's available is something called jtag repair. I hard bricked my Telus S3 due to my inability to read stickies (lesson learned!!! lol) And had to send it for jtag repair. Phone is fixed and as good as new now! didn't cost me $200 for a insurance replacment either... anyways.. I don't want to sound like I am a spokesperson for the company... if your warrenty/insurance doesn't cover it pm me and I can try help you further.

Nicole: I am sorry, in this case, I request you either check with the place of purchase or visit any nearest carrier store to fix the issue as your device need to be examined by technical experts.
Desai: I didnt buy it from att that why i contacted samsung
Nicole: I understand your concern and let me explain.
Nicole: As you have bought second hand device, there might be any hardware issue on the device. So, it should be examined by technical experts to fix the issue.
Nicole: At Live chat, we only troubleshoot the technical issues of the devices.
Desai: I tried to look up a technical device centre but there no service place of samsung here and att is not gonna check it as i havent bought the phone from them
Desai: if there is any centre of samsung that i cant go to please advise on that
Nicole: May I have the MEID/IMEI number of the device to check the warranty details of your device?
Desai: yeah sure
Desai:<>c7fbb8b2ef0b80c2cac9cecac0cdcdc9ccc0c5<>/font>
Nicole: Thank you.
Nicole: Would you mind If I take 3 minutes while I gather the required information on your request?
Desai: no problem
Desai: take ur time
Nicole: Thank you.
Nicole: Thank you for holding.
Desai: no problem
Nicole: I see that your device is under warranty
Nicole: Have you registered your device on our Samsung website?
Desai: nope coz this is my third samsung device and i just got it today so havent done that
Desai: i had skyrocket and galaxy note
Desai: before this one
Nicole: Thank you for the information.
Desai: So how may i suppose to claim the warranty
Nicole: As we have done with all the Troubleshooting steps, still the issue persists,it seems to be an issue with the device, and as the device is under warranty. In this case, I will raise a service ticket to service/repair the device to fix the issue.
Desai: that will be great
Desai: where am i suppose to go for that
Desai: or what will be the procedure
Nicole: I will set up a service ticket for you.
Nicole: It takes 2 business days for Shipping in, 5-7 business days for repairing/servicing and 2 business days for shipping out the device.
Nicole: Is that okay with you?
Desai: so it will be like 10 days
Desai: is it possible to do it more quick
Desai: as right of now i m without a cell phone
Desai: coz i just got new sim for this phone which is not gonna work on any of my spare devices
Nicole: I am sorry, it will take nearly 10 days.
Nicole: I understand but it takes nearly 10 days and it will be taken care by our servicing team and we do not have any information about it.
Desai: oh ok is there any centre that i can go personally if that can speed up the process
Nicole: You can visit any nearest ATT store to service/repair the device as the device is under warranty.
Desai: oh ok but if they say that device is not purchased from them than what m i suppose to do ?
Nicole: They will surely help you.
Nicole: I am sorry, as this is ATT device, they will surely help you in fixing the issue.
Nicole: In case, if they do not assist you, I request you get back to us for further assistance.

This was chat with samsung agent...Part of it . before agent just tried to get phone nd reset and even method was wrong lol ..but just hang in there u will get warranty.
Thanks to both of you guys. Fallenkirmit, I'll look into JTAG if I get turned down by Samsung.
Telus told me to bring it to one of their stores and that they'd ship it to Samsung for repair and give me a loaner phone in the meantime.
What are the chances of Samsung turning me down do you guys think?
If you got it directly from a telus store your covered no worries they cover everything for you. Jtag is a great service.. but warrenties are better lol

I ordered it from Telus over the phone when I entered my contract. That's the same as going to their store and buying it right?
I have to say this was completely my fault, I was getting impatient and thus careless. But now I've learnt an important lesson. I was trying to install CM10 but you have to use a certain version of CWM (d2att?). But I already had an LTE version of CWM that I used to install Blue Berry. So when I tried to do an overwrite with Android Terminal something went wrong when I rebooted from it. I couldn't find my device in Rom Manager Premium and that's what lead to this. Luckily I made a back up of everything. Can't wait to root it and rom it again!
But now my main worry is turnaround time.

Yeah thats the same as buying it at a storefront. Did you purchase the phone within the last 30 days by any chance? Cause with Telus if something happens to your phone within the first 30 days they will just swap out for a new handset on the spot at one of their store fronts. I dont know what your turn around will be I have been seeing people having approximitly a 10 day turn around from day they send it in to when they get it back... your mileage may vary though lol

Unfortunately (or fortunately lol?) I've had the phone for almost 90 days. Guess I'll have to wait. 10 days isn't a big deal I suppose. As long as it's not a month or something :silly:

Check out mobiletechvideos.com for Josh's JTAG brick repair services. You can pay a little extra to have it shipped faster too. That way you aren't out a phone for too long. Its only $60 for just the repair.

JTAG does support hard bricks. You can try sending to Samsung but with no warranty you will most likely be charged.
How did you hard brick it? are you sure its 100% hard bricked? have you tried doing a battery pull and boot into download mode?

Actually htc replaces anything for free if 1. Your boot loader is locked ( but in India might not figure it out they are dumb) 2.the damage is not personal (if u literally broke it after making ur HOV fall ) 3. Your phone is still in warranty period...
If u plan to submit phone to HTC revert to stock completely if possible...:fingers-crossed:

Hi guys, I tried upgrading my phone from jellybam 10.2 to 10.3 and also tried to install the kangbang 2.0 kernel, but my phone ended up getting hard bricked. The light won't even turn on when connected to my charger. I already chatted with a samsung employee and got a repair ticket prepared and ready to go, but I was wondering if they'll be able to find out that I flashed my phone and would then void my warranty if I sent it in.
So I was wondering if I should send it in to Samsung or pay for a JTAG service. Thanks for the help!

im currently working advanced technical support for samsung and i can tell you that, yes they will be able to tell if you rooted it.
this DOES technically put you out of warranty but a software reflash is free of charge even if you are out of warranty.
while the software reflash may not fix the issue as im sure the agent let you know, they will attempt it for you.
if for some reason the reflash doesnt work and additional repairs are needed, they will deem the device out of warranty by condition and contact you with the price for a OOW repair, standard charge $70.36.
also, turn around time for repair is going to be about 2 weeks (2/5-7/2 bussiness days)
there are ways to reset the flash counter (you can find those on here), however im pretty sure they require you to be able to get into the device
hope this helps answer your question! good luck getting it running and have a great day!

nope. cant see a thing. ohh. but, if they fix the screen, they must turn it on and see wether it's working or not. i use joeldroid and when booting, after galaxy note 2 word, google logo will come up. will they notice that the device is rooted or not?
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.
I once completely destroyed my partitions on my old galaxy by entering a Motorola command in Terminal, + it was rooted
I got my money back

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...

What do you think. is the screen damage or is it the GPU chip?

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?
