Help phone won't boot hardbricked? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys i have a samsung sm9005 note 3 and it was working awesome i had it rooted and have tested many custom roms from this forum .
The battery was dying so i replaced it with original battery and it worked perfectly i was on Phronesis Rom N7 v7.0 Feature Rich & Smooth and it was my daily driver untill i decided to flash the [ROM][9.0.0_r37][HLTE/CHN/KOR/TMO] Pixel Experience [AOSP][UnOFFICIAL]
i flashed it successfully through trwp 3 version and it booted properly and i was using it daily i bought a new phone and i kept my note 3 aside for a month i decided to use the phone again and put my note on charge but i dint see any charging light i let it charge for few hours and tried powering on but it didn't . I tried to boot into recovery it didn't . Tried to boot into bootloader mode so that i can flash back the previous rom but it didn't boot into dowload mode
I searched in forum and i believe it's a hard brick and there are solutions like using debrick.img and qfile software but since i had my phone on 9.0 will the debrick.img shared in fourm work?
Please suggest me the solution i dont want this phone to die? please help me resurrect it

Not booting to download mode try the USB recovery jig via google or ebay .

Simple, use another battery to boot it.

I have the same problem.. i flashed a too big bootlogo, and now phone does nothing at all..
Hope someone could give us some advice, because i have no warranty...
hi i have a jig which you can buy from ebay it puts my i5700 into download mode.still not sure if it will help because i was changing the firmware on mine and it just loads the boot screens. i have forgoton how to get recovery using the buttons,it allso does the galaxy s and s11
If you have flashed too big bootlogo, then end. Trully bricked.
USB jig doesn't work on Spica.
Samsung_saad: what did you do before brick spica?
Unbrick!!
addictivetips.com/mobile/one-click-unbrick-for-samsung-phones-having-odin-guide/
When I originally rooted my phone, I used Odin... I haven't tried this particular method for unbricking, but apparently it works.
Hope that helps
I tried the one click unbrick method. Wasent working for me.
In the original post it says that it works with all devices using Odin 3. Is a while ago, but i think to remember i was using Odin 2.x the last times for flashing.
Eaven it dident work for me, might still be worth a try for you.
The button combination for download mode is "volume down + camera + power"
As long as you can get into that mode you're safe and the phone is not bricked!

[Q] Note 3 doesn't start anymore

Dear all,
I have only recently lost my IMEI und tried everything to recover it. As a matter of fact I had made a backup before and tried to restore it and it didn't work. Today, I tried doing that another time and after that I wanted to reboot my phone but after it shut down it just doesn't boot up anymore. It shows nothing, only the black screen. It seems like it doesn't react to anything, I also tried to pull the battery but that also wasn't successful. I also can't get into Download Mode.
Any ideas what I could do?
Charge the battery or try another battery first .
I did both, I charged the battery but it didn't help and I also tried another (fully charged) battery, without success.
try to connect with kies 3
Kies doesn't recognize my phone.
Service centre repair your next step .
I'll let my carrier send it to Samsung and tell them that it crashed after trying to update to Lollipop via Kies, I read that this worked in some cases. If it doesn't I'll have to have it repaired.
What do you guys think about those "USB jigs"? Do you think those could help me with my problem?
YAAAAY!
Thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625332 I was able to unbrick my device and by flashing a new PIT-File and a Stock ROM even my IMEI came back. I think my partition was somehow messed up because after flashing the PIT-File it began to work properly, but I flashed the Stock ROM to have a "clean" system again and installed Cyanogenmod afterwards with success.
So how does this fix work if the phone is unable to connect or power on ..
OP yes try the usb recovery jig to see if it boots to download mode .
Well, it did help. After I had put the Image on my SDcard and removed my SIM card I was able to boot my phone, this was the main issue. The rest was child's play, I flashed the PIT-file and a stock ROM and everything was working fine again.
flash new PIT file
hi you got to flash a new pit flie. maybe something damaged your phone boot. look in here

Help!! I bricked my grand 2 :*(

can anyone help me with my problem?!...
earlier today, i tried to upgrade my grand 2 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 via odin.
I downloaded all the required files and started the process, i got my phone into download mode and plugged it in my pc (i used a cheap usb cable) and pressed start.
after 30 seconds it stopped and failed the upgrade.
i tried to flash it again and it was the same.
now my phone won't even boot or charge or enter download mode.
PLEASE HELP!
sorry for the long post.
Its ok brother...it happens...and i dont think so its becuz of cheap usb cable i think its becuz ur ROM was not properly downloaded!
Now as becuz u cant go to download mode...try going to recovery and reset your phone ! if you get successfuldo that...i think you'll be able to boot to download mode #likemypostifyoufeltok

How to revive Hard bricked asus zenfone max 2016 zc550kl

Hi everyone i was trying to upgrade my phone's os which is 6.1 to 7.1. i did it with the help of TWRP which failed and my phone was working in recovery mode and. Later was strucked in boot loop. Later i was trying to flash stock rom. But my phone got bricked. It's off for several days it doesn't respond to pressing power buttons nor does it responds to connecting to charger. But while i connect it to computer the new usb added sound comes from computer.
I'm really strucked guys help me out. Every video i see online is for phone which are strucked in boot loop. I'm sure if I'm able to reach that state I'll make it working but for instance ineed to revive it. My friend says i have deleted bootloader how can i put it back ?. Also we disassembled it and assembled it again. It also didn't work.
Well you did something stupid. Upgrading from MM to Nougat without clean flash? Also flashing stock rom with TWRP? Well you can't revive anymore.. If you really Hard bricked buy new phone

[Help pls] Note 3, not responding: Bricked? Installing Lineage OS

I just bought a BNIB Note 3.
Samsung Note 3: SM-N900W8
Symptoms: Won't turn on, no lights, no load screen, no recovery mode, no download mode.
When I hook the phone up to the PC via USB it does vibrate and sounds the connection ringtone
What I was doing when this happened:
I had just recently rooted using "KINGRoot" - checked root and it was successful
I installed "TWRP" and booted into recovery mode and it was a success as well(I didn't actually run here yet)
***I installed and opened "Flashfire" to Flash the LINEAGE OS to my Rom buuut I didn't actually select the Lineage pack and I accidently pressed FLash(insert expletive here) *****
So Flashfire went through it's loading and when it was done it shut off and then the symptoms started.
It's a Note3 from Bell with all of their bloatware on it and I wanted to clean it all off and run a clean/efficient Note 3 cell with Rogers. I'm not looking to keep any of the data currently on the phone as there isn't anything currently on it. I just want to be able to install Lineage and use my Note.
I've searched for 30 hours pretty solid so far and unfortunately I haven't come across a clear solution. Can anyone give me a diagnosis and a tutorial or a link to a fix.
I'm open to loading from MicroSD, USB Jig, Samsung Kies....anymore information you require from me as away and I'll get back ASAP
Dead battery would be first check .

Battery - I did the "spin" test on the battery and it doesn't show any physical characteristics of an overheated(bulged) battery. I'm going to test fit my battery into another note3 and I'll respond asap.

I tried the battery in another Note3 and my battery is 52% charged and had no issues booting the tester phone.
I have the phone being tested for any Hardware issues right now.
If it's not a hardware issue will I be able to force a Rom(whether OEM Firmware or other) to install via MicroSD or USB jig?
When the phone is connected to a Windows machine, does a new device appear in device manager?
Have you tried to force it into download mode with a USB jig?
For flashing ROMs to the sm-n900w8, the simplest method is to flash TWRP, boot to TWRP, wipe everything, and flash the desired ROM.
If nothing works, you could take it to a cell repair shop and hopefully have it repaired with a jtag cable or a similar method.

No, the PC doesn't see the phone.
The USB jig or MicroSD force is something I'm researching to try next(feel free to provide any good links to set up a jig(I've done this with Ubuntu on my laptop but this has a more intimidating feel to it)). The Tech at the shop I took it to test the hardware says "the motherboard" is broken and he'll fix it for $60.
For future considerations I'll learn to use TWRP flashing ROMs.
If the shop is offering to fix it for $60, they may be just force-flashing the firmware with something like an Octopusbox.
The USB jig may force the phone into download. If it doesn't, I don't think you'll have a choice but to pay to have it flashed. Unfortunately, Samsung will not help as rooting would trip the knox counter.
USB jig ebay are the usual cheap source.
