UIf you bricked it by flashing custom software then that is on you and not up to insurance to replace and doing so is fraud and XDA doesnt condone this, Thread closed

Samsung repair centres in the Uk and super hard brick, revive by USB JIG?

Does anyone know a website for official repair centres or locations in the Uk?
Also...I think I have a super hard brick as my phone is not responding to anything, PC can't detect it. Does that mean Sunsung won't know if I have flashed a custom rom and how many times?
Is it possible to revive via a USB jig and how?
Thanks.

Guess its possible if the connection drops in the middle of an installation and you`re stuck when the download might not be complete or corrupt, especialy when going from GB to ICS.

Didn't you bricked because you install your custom rom? That's what you said in the dev forum

Here http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/repair/supportRepairSelfTracking.do?page=REPAIR.TRACKING
First register if you don't already have an account and request for repair. You will have the option to take it to a repair centre near you or send it to them for repair. I bricked mine when i flashed ICS, Binary count was zero but i had CMW installed. My phone was repaired free with no issues. I would advise you to just send it to them if your binary count has not increased. You will need to wait 2 weeks for repair though.
I was referring to the story I will tell Carphone Warehouse and Sunsung, I can't exactly go and tell then I flashed a custom rom that I made, they'll probably try and con me for begin so stupid for what I did.

Thanks for the advice, i've been flashing for ages now and never a problem, this is the first time I have ever bricked.
Btw...will they know my binary count with a hard brick?
I'm going to make a trip to Maplins tomorrow to buy a resistor and a connector to make a quick USB JIG before I send it off, sending it off is a last resort.
Pm me if you need any help sending it off and I will see what I can with regards a repair.

I had a superbrick, where the phone wouldn't even switch on (Also my first brick even though i've been doing it for years). So I couldn't reset any binary counters or restore any firmware to hide what i'd done. It was as it was, and I sent it off to Samsung and they replaced the motherboard FOC for me
USB JIG was no use. You may as well make yourself a JIG for future reference, but I think in this instance, it might be a waste of time.
All I said was, that I restarted the phone and after that it wouldn't switch on again - That was it. They replaced the motherboard for me

I doubt they will know if the phone does not turn on at all but if you can get to download mode so can they. And they will know your binary count from there. I have also been flashing for ages and this is my first time as well bricking a phone. It doesn't feel good at all.
I've went through the service centre and it needs to be sent off to Glasgow in Scotland, is it not possible to deliver it to a closer repair centre?

[Q] Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 hard brick

Hi Guys,
I havent used this site in years but recently I bought a Galaxy S4 outright from JBHIFI.
Before you guys give me alot of crap, I have a very bad feeling that I may have hard bricked it.
It doesnt turn on anymore, not even in recovery or download mode. I am very new to android as I was using an iPhone before and couldn't resist attempting to root my phone (stock program were killing my battery)
I hadn't even had the chance to flash a custom rom on there as far as i know i just grated root access.
Funny thing is it was doing the same thing the other day. But randomly it decided to charge and turn on. Now it is definitely not charging or turning on and i have no idea what to do... it just sucks cause i havent ever this phone for a month and its already useless! :crying:
I was using it for about a week after i rooted and now im just stuck with a brick.
Any help would greatly be appreciated, feel free to ask any questions.
Send back t store and thel t workers that just whont turn on.Dhont thel that is rooted or somthing
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
yeah thats what im planning to do its about exactly a month since i had it today... i just didnt want to mention anything cause i know you guys and moderaters dont condone that kind of behaviour! thanks though, im pretty much screwed arent i? ill be heading into jbhifi on my lunch break will go ahead with that plan haha.
ill tell you guys how it goes.
Have you tried a battery pull?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
sorry... is that just taking the battery out? LOL if so, yes ive tried it quite a few times.
at one stage it was turning on but only loading the splash screen... so i pulled the battery out. even if i tried to start it in recovery mode, it would only load the blue text at the top of the screen and then freeze.
i have a mate who also got an s4 so i was going to meet up with them and see if i could use their battery because it seems the phone has even lost its capability to charge.

that seems very useful, but to use it i would have to be in download mode atleast right? problem is i cant even turn on phone to get into download mode
didnt go jbhifi today had to fix my rims instead LOL, trying other solutions and finding a spare battery to see if its just that... maybe then it will beable to atleast boot in download mode

No, you don't have to be in download mode. Install right driver, connect your phone to pc and run the program. Then it will be in download mode, so flash firmware with pit file
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
well so far... i tried this at work and no luck, so i went home and tried it there... still no luck.
you mentioned i need to install the right driver? is that the QHSUSB drivers? (where can i find them and are they specific for the S4) anyway when i plug my phone into the computer there is no indication that it is being detected at all.
just hoping to try out more suggested solutions before i attempt to take it back into the store and have em tell me that my warranty is cooked
Hi just an update.
Took my phone to samsung because it was just completely screwed. They replaced the motherboard and camera but didnt find out that my phone was rooted which was good.
Thanks for your help everyone
*edit*
After they said they replaced my camera i am now getting the "camera app failed" message, wheres theres a black screen and the app doesnt work... ive had it with this phone now... going to walk into samsung and lose my ****.

Don't bash the phone for nothing ...
Somehow I doubt that they didn't test the camera after replacing it.
Next time, take it easy, and what ever you do, read carefully the instructions.
same issue
My galaxy S4 is "hard bricked" as well after trying to flash OMEGA ROM onto the device. My guess is that somebody mislabeled the ROM and it was intended for the octal-core processors and not the US quad-core ones.
Does anyone have a link for the qualcomm drivers that are needed? I'm at a loss currently in regards of which direction to take.
Thanks in advance,

i know... its just frustrating... i pretty much got it when it came out and convinced all my mates that it was the best phone out there at the moment (all the features are pretty nifty and its powerful ill admit)
funny thing was the camera was working perfectly before i took it in and didnt even think it needed replacing. the camera worked when i got it back the first time i opened the app but it had smearing (pink vertical lines on bright objects). after that it the app didnt open again and just has the "camera app failed" error.
as for the hardbrick guys i think the qualcomm drivers work but only if you can get your phone to turn on or enter d/l mode. mine was so fried out that it wouldnt show any signs of life even after getting the drivers.

He probably means this: http://forum.legija.net/showthread....g-galaxy-S4-(i9505-and-similar)-via-USB-Cable
This was also samersh72's suggestion when i bricked mine. Problem is, there was no way for me to acces that qhusb mode thing as the phone was totally dead and doesn't even charge.
Jtag could probably revive it though.
Anyway, sent mine for repairs with
custom binary status and the samsung guys accepted it as there was no way for them to revive the phone(the motherboard was replaced). They didn't found out that it was modified.

hey thanks for the reply,
no as the phone is hard bricked its 100% unusable, if it would even switch on that would be fantastic.
its more complex than soft brick.
im having the same problem... is your note alive again?
Return it and claim warranty, tell them that your phone suddenly went off and that you don't know the reason. They may replace the board for you.
wow thats sad

Then it's up to you to convince your client to return it to Samsung for warranty. As for recovering his data, that is the hard part.

Do you mean the bootloader that needs to be written as T-Flash to a microsd using Odin 3.09 or higher? (as per 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf) Isn't that just the same as sboot.bin written raw to first sectors of microsd?
I would be interested to hear if you managed to use that just for the "extreme hacking" angle of it :good:

I do not think the microsd is enough - the Note3 ONLY boots from microsd if you short R4075 on the mainboard - there is a notice from Samsung service somewhere around with a name like 13-58_SM-N900_Boot_Recovery_Guide_rev1.0.pdf that describes the details (and comes with a good picture of what you need to short).

Well, I did hard brick my Galaxy Grand 2. For my hard brick cause, is when I flash Gennxt kitkat superior on my Rooted JB Grand 2.
After I installed it, there is no bootanimation. Instead of blank screen with vibration and then reboots again.
So my problem was Hard bricked and bootloop.
I send my phone to Samsung service center in Indonesia. After the reparation is done, there is a slip.
They say that the circuit board needs to replaced and reinstall stock fw.
And my phone reparation was free! :victory::laugh:
But the good thing is the Technician didn't notice that I already voided my warranty.
Because of the hard brick making me saving money for $75 or $100! Lucky me!

Error when flashing upgrade? Do you mean THIS screen?
Firmware update encountered an issue.
Please flash it again using Kies, or something like that?
That is a soft bricked, my friend. The problem can be fixed by reinstalling Stock firmware.

If you are not able to go to download mode or recovery mode, even the service center will not be able to say that the warranty is void. so if your phone is under warranty, take it to the service center and tell them PC conked off while updating thru kies.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped

Yureka DEAD!

Guys, i think my Yureka got hardbricked.
I updated to CM12 by downloading zip file and flashing from stock recovery. But the update sucked big time, lags, battery heating, etc. so i thought of reverting back to CM11 by fastboot method and now phone is not booting up, not able to go in recovery mode, not able to go in fastboot mode, not charging, i mean nothing! after searching internet, i came to know that u cannot downgrade from 64bit(CM12) to 32bit(CM11). I tried to recover by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040 but device is not getting detected in device manager, so couldnt proceed further. tried calling Yu customer care, but they wont even pick up the call. please help!

u can not revert back to cm11 from cm 12 because partition size is different for both so partition resize file needed in this direction development is already started u can see result as soon as development completed
Have anyone recovered their hard bricked yureka? So many experienced developers on xda but none are able to post successful method

My device brick after lollipop OTA update, reaching customer support was areal nightmare but today after 5 days continues efforts and 126 calls one after another i mange to get through Yu Customer care. surprisingly they got my personal details already within their systems and after reconfirming my details they agree for replacement of trans-receiver with in 10 days time. ( only trans-receiver not anything in box).
My first priority will be sale this device whenever i receive solution for brick. Cant waste time and money after micromax in future. terrible experience.

Yup, never ever buy a MMX/YU product
I pity you guys!! why don't you guys Google and find the solution... If your device is not detected on pc it isn't a big issue you can easily make your pc to recognize and then proceeding further is no tough job. All you have to do is just Google... It isn't issue with Micromax... The culprit here is cyanogenmod

dude, after trying all possible ways, i have taken this step. i'm not a noob to directly go to customer care without checking solutions. and i was talking about MMX/YU after sales support, nothing else
