I used to love your ROMs for my old Touch HD.. good to see you now have a Galaxy S!
Not so sure from your posts above what method you have tried. When are you trying to connect Odin? You need to be in Download Mode first, fire up Odin, then connect your phone...
Is this what you are doing?
Also, which version of Odin you using? In Win7 you may need to right click and run as administrator?

The best way is to look on the odin how to here in forum

Brother, use Odin3 v1.7 from my signature & see if it detects? A lot of guys have recovered their phones using 1.7. trust me.

pull the battery
wait a few seconds
put the battery back in
hold vol-down + power + home
You should get into download mode
connect the phone physically to the pc
flash a ROM or a kernel or whatever you desire
I wish you good luck^^

Close any kies process running in background and try again

is there anything i can do to force a start to anything
maybe with a software setup on the sd card?

The jig most likely wont work if the phone is completely dead, you could try a hairdryer it seems to work sometimes. Otherwise its back to samsung.

cant find anything on google about it on how to do it

Maybe you've tried this already but I've had this problem after a bad flash and the phone wouldn't boot up anymore. I just remove the battery and all good again.

@dr.ketan hi thanks for the reply m8
i used this method
Here is the files that should be selected on odin :
PIT : Q1_20110919_32GB.pit
PDA : N7000_CODE_N7000XXLP1_CL88317_REV02_user_mid_noship.tar.md5
PHONE : MODEM_N7000XXLP1_REV_05_CL1098475.tar.md5
CSC : GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-OXALP1.tar.md5
Press Start button then upgrading Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Ice Cream Sandwich ICS 4.0.3 N7000XXLP1 process will be started
Wait until finish and odin show PASS! but missed the Check Re-Partition option ???? like a fool and now my phone is bricked ?? it wont do anything my pc say recognised usb device thats all ??? i hope you can help me m8

Do you have a 32gb version of the Note?
If not you are using the wrong pit-file.
There is one to the 16gb version too, and just Google for it.
Skickat från min GT-N7000 via Tapatalk

yes m8 i used the 16gb version but missed the Check Re-Partition option on odin thats why its bricked m8 ?? is there anybody who repairs them in uk ??????

Define brick, is it completely dead?
No download mode?
Skickat från min GT-N7000 via Tapatalk

yes m8 no download mode just dead and pc says recognised usb device thats all ?? m8 duno if usb jig would work not shure if they sell them for note ????

I have heard about flashes gone wrong and after that the screen then doesn't work.
Try to remove the battery then insert it and try to enter download mode, vol down home and power then I belive you have to push vol up once to confirm to enter download mode.
Then look if odin recognises yor phone, if so try to flash it again.
This is a longshot but worth a try.

yea flashed sgs2 ics on my note lol instead of the sgs2 no screen but sound worked had to blind download odin flash it was fun. maybe he can do the same thing just get it in download mode the button combo than hit up plug it in the usb and see if odin see's it.

This Jig puts a dead Note into download mode , so you are able to flash again with odin.
Turn off your phone and pull out the battery
Put the battery back and don't turn it on
Plug the JIG into the micro USB port on the phone
After about 2 seconds, you can see the yellow download mode logo on the screen.
Remove the JIG
Connect your phone with USB cable to computer and then flash your phone via the program "odin"
This JIG should work for all Android Samsungs.
Its just US$ 1,60 and free shipping so worth a try.
If it doesn't work you should send it to Samsung.
Good luck and let us know about the progress.

[i9505]I think I've hard bricked my phone

Hi guys,
So apparently I did a very stupid thing today. I have a MAC and a Windows 7 on my bootcamp. I've downloaded the firmware for my country (Philippines) from sammobile link: http://hotfile.com/dl/234886746/526112d/GLB-I9505XXUBMG5-20130710140005.zip.html.
I've used heimdall(basically odin for linux/MAC) and if you're familiar with it you actually need to extract the .tar files and flash them one by one on heimdall whereas on odin you just put it on PDA.
Here's what exactly what I did:
1. Booted to download mode(obviously)
2. I then fired up heimdall and added the pit file which I've downloaded from my device. Again if you're familiar with heimdall, you actually need the pit file everytime you flash unlike odin.
3. This is the part where I think I've screwed something up, I've flashed these files which I've extracted from the MG5 .tar file:
- modem.bin
- NON-HLOS.bin
- boot.img
- recovery.img
- aboot.mbn
- cache.img.ext4
- hidden.img.ext4
- rpm.mbn
- sbl2.mbn
- sbl3.mbn
- system.img.ext4
- tz.mbn
According to heimdall the flash was successful and immediately exited download mode. This is the part when the phone was supposed to reboot but it didn't. The blue led was lit and the phone is not rebooting at all so I manually rebooted it via the power button. Now the phone is not booting at all. Literally no power.
I cannot enter recovery mode and the worse part, I cannot enter that damn download mode to try and re-flash the firmware again. The phone has about 90% charge left before I rebooted manually. Also the phone is not charging. I mean even if it's turned off it should charge with the charging animation to indicate that it's charging or the led is lit up, but in this case there was no led lit up nor the charging animation.
I'm quite frustrated right now and I know I should have used ODIN considering that I have bootcamp with Win 7 installed, but I did it for testing purposes and I paid the price and ended up with a $650 brick
Now I know I'm screwed and have probably voided my warranty by doing all this but I just wanna know where did it go wrong or is there something else that I could do before I send it for repairs?

Honestly ... Go back to shop and tell them that Kies told you that there is an update ... and after the phone havent start ...
Or try like this:
Pull out the battery
Plug USB
Hold volume up
and plug the battery
Should see it.. if not try with JIG to enter in download mode

Yeah I'll go to the shop tomorrow, just wanting to know if there is something else that can be done as the repairs could take months.
There'll be no way for them to know what actually happened and if I'm lucky I would still have warranty and not pay any single cent lol. I'm guessing that they'll replace the motherboard or sumthin. Thank you anyway I'll try that

perhaps your file is corrupted.
even if redownload the firmware and use odin to check the MD5 sum.
you must do your self a JIG usb dongle to force the download mode on your phone.
hope that help you.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure it won't hard brick the phone even if it's corrupted. Worst case scenario is that it would be a soft brick. Jig will probably work but I don't have access to it.
Something might have gone wrong on the way I've flashed it via heimdall. I've probably messed up and accidentally flashed the wrong pit(but I'm pretty sure I didn't) or probably the bootloader. Anyway I'll just save myself the trouble and just send the damn phone for repairs and suck up the 1 month wait. I just hope that they won't void my warranty. Not much I can do really.

Thanks but it didn't work. It gave me a little hope though no harm in trying. Really not sure if jig will work but one thing is for sure, I now have a $650 paper weight.
I just hope that the samsung guys won't be able to bring this back to life. I hope that they just replace the motherboard straight away because if they are able to resurrect the phone, I'm screwed. They will find out that I've modified it. Worse part is I will need to shoulder the repair costs which I wouldn't want if they void the warranty

Bricked Phone! - Dead - NEED HELP!!

Hi guys, I'm gonna tell you what happened with my S4 to see if you can help me.
I got a MetroPCS Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919N) then I went to a tech and unlocked it. After 2 days the screen started blinking in pink color and I decided to flash it with a stock ROM from T-Mobile (SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131) using ODIN. Everything was great, in a couple of days the screen went kinda black (No brightness at all) I could barely see it. In this state with the phone turned off and tried to plug in to the PC or charge it and started blinking in green color. I decided once again to flash it with the stock ROM mentioned above but the phone won't enter in recovery or download mode after that I tried to flash it with the CyanogenMOD Installer......everything was OK but it stuck in about 75%, left the phone connected for 20min aprox and nothing happened. I unplugged it and tried to turn it on (It vibrates but I get no startup sound, logo, boot, anything!) ODIN doesn't recognized anymore, can't enter in recovery or download.
I tried to reboot download with ADB to flash it with ODIN but usb debugging is not enabled and ADB commands doesn't work.
I don't know what to do with my S4, I hope you guys can help me. I'm not in the US so I can't return it for replacement.
I hope to hear from you soon. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Is the battery working ok? Does the LED go red when charger is plugged in as normal?
What happens when you try to boot to recovery?

If your screen start blinking pink and after that turning black, why do assume it's a software problem? No rom would cause that. It's clearly a hardware failure.

The battery is OK, I tested it already with another phone. The LED doesn't turn on when the charger is plugged in. When I try to enter to recovery it vibrates but nothing else happens (Black Screen).

Can you boot in to download mode or recovery

Yes ,, just can't see anything...

So how do you know if you can boot in to download mode if you can't see anything?
Try to flash new stock rom with pit file.
Like you would like to unbrick it

Odin says it is connected,, when attempting to put it in download mode.. and I will try that ,, not my phone so I was trying not to erase everything,, but it might just be the best way to fix

So if you turn it on does it make any sound, or something?
When it's ON and you plug it in to pc can you see it there?

Ok I have tried Odin and the phone is recognized on computer,, but no luck with fixing the display,,,,, I think the display (board) is cracked ...oh well
I am still rocking mine on star's Apocalyps Rom ....
