Phone bricked after flashing arco's ICS

Hey guys,
I flashed arco's ICS alpha 3 using CWM and everything was working fine for a few hours. Installed some apps and rebooted the phone. But suddenly the phone didn't reboot and now isn't turning on anymore. I can't even get it to the recovery or download mode. It's totally bricked. When I connect it to the PC, it trys to install QHSUSB_DLOAD driver.
Is there a way that I can unbrick the son of a *****?
Any help will be appreciated.

In my opinion it is a full brick. To "unbrick" the minimum is to be able to get into download mode.

I was affraid of that. But ok. Thanks for the response. I'll try to go to samsung costumer center and see if they will help me.
I installed Winamp Pro, XDA and Swiftkey X for testing.
I was able to reboot the phone with no problems even after I installed the apps. Rebooted it a few times. But on the last time I tried it bricked, for no apparent reason.

is the charger animation visible?
put your phone for a half hour on the charger and then try to enter downloadmode.
or pull out the battery för ten minutes and then try to enter downloadmode

No. It's completely dead. Won't show up anything.

[Q] Cant get into recovery, stuck on boot

Hey... i searched for a solution and couldn't find one....
So i tried to install the Omega rom, the process went by pretty quickly, that's when i became suspicious.
Now i can turn my phone on, but there is something... strange... for instance once the screen turns off, the phone plays dead until i restart it.
i can get into download mode, and i did, tried to install cwm6 again, but it didnt work.
and if i try to go into recovery mode (vol up home and power) it just hangs on the "Samsung galaxy note 2 n-7100" screen.
Thanks for the help in advance =]
edit: Forgot to mention, if i plug it into the pc, windows/kies doesn't recognise it.

:< Please help me i am completly lost and beating my self up for trying this foolishness

Did u check "usb debug" on your device? Try samsung driver instead.
Try reflash recovery via pc odin again.

Might wanna try TWRP as people have been having issues with CWM when flashing ROM's.

Hey thanks for the answers, i indeed check usb debugging and it is on.
i also relized i SOMEHOW managed to download the galaxy s3 rom instead of the note 2 rom and flash it, and i guess thats the problem, however im sure it didnt flash right, any way i downloaded the correct rom and flashed it using mobile odin, every thing worked fine
however i still cant get into recovery mod, and the problem where the device stays in sleep mode is still there...
Im going to try this TWRP thingy now

By the way, as noted by Adam Outler, you should not use ODIN to continuously flash ROM's. Just to reset phone if needed. Using ODIN to flash ROM's will only turn out badly.

Are you using a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port? use 20. if you're not already.

im using 2.0, i tried every usb port on my pc just in case....
The thing is it used to work earlier, before ive gone and messed it all up

Sorry you're not having much luck. Maybe one of the brilliant devs will hop in and lend some thoughts. I'm out of ideas at the moment.

Thanks any way dude, appreciate it.
Im going to sleep, but let me reiterate the problem.
- Tried to flash a Galaxy s3 rom onto the Note 2, dont ask me how i made this mistake
- something.. happened during the flash
- now the phone wouldn't connect to usb (so i cant use odin) and after the screen turns off it wont turn back on again without switching the device off and on
- eventually downloaded the note 2 rom (omega) and flashed it using mobile odin, this time the proccess finished fine, but...
-Still cant connect the phone to the pc usb, (it charges tho, drivers are installed)
-Screen still wont come back on after it turns off

Shameless bump =[

Man.......
im guessing this problem is not a common one eh?
I hate to spam but im really lost, having this 600$ mirrior feels bad :<

Have you tried flashing a stock rom with odin mobile? I've not used odin mobile so I have no idea what it can and can't do. But you could try flashing a stock rom and then put Cwm or twrp after you have checked it

Possibly you need to flash Stock ROM (i recommend one by kunal shah) again with PIT file in ODIN.
Search Google and XDA.

I don't know ; I think touch is fine as I can slide between home screens
and just for few seconds after rebooting apps can be opened
but after that many services are not responding and
thus I think this unusual behavior is happening..

Swtich rom
Try switching to another rom

[Q] Galaxy s4 mini Hard brick

Hi guys.
One of my friends recently gave me his bricked galaxy s4 mini. The phone doesn't turn on and when I plug it in to my laptop it comes up as Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode) . I've tried to fix it using qdload.pl and QPST but none of them worked.
Is there any way to restore the device without jtaging it ?? I have another working gs4 mini if that helps.

Download odin and a firmware from sammobile. Then do the steps showing on the website and done.

The same thing just happened to my working S4 mini. I put it on charge yesterday and it switched off after 5 minutes and never switched back on. I don't think there's any way to fix it as the EMMC is most likely dead :crying:

Brickbug much?

=/
Same thing happenned to me. I installed TWRP and the phone just died. Now it turns on and everything but is stuck in bootloop. Main issue is, my recovery just shows TWRP symbol and no options to be able to flash a new rom or a new recovery.
Odin flashes stuff such as cwm, stock rom, but none of these seem to actually have any impact in my phone behaviour.
I think it's just dead yet I just don't want to accept it, I'm trying everything I can to make it work again.
PS: I hate myself the day I decided to install a trwp
