Hi ,
My SGH-i927 was working quite happily sat on charge connected to a USB cable on my PC, I left work with the phone in my pocket and when I came to use it a couple of hours later it was completely unresponsive.
It will not respond to power button at all
It shows no activity when on charge either via wall wart or USB, it does not show up as connected to the PC when USB cable plugged in.
I've tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes and also a different battery with long and short presses of the Power Button whiles't holding volume with various combinations there of.
This is not as a result of my flashing anything it just stopped, the threads I've seen using search all seem to be able to get to a boot screen of some description mine is completely dead.
Phone was Unlocked / rooted / backed up + efs backup / running 4.0.4 UCLJ3 Lite Kernel
Anyone have a suggestion on how I might be able to resurrect it or should I put it in a long ship and set fire to it ?
Please note I imported this Phone into the UK
I approached a local SAMSUNG service center and they won't touch it as it's from outside the EU. - Further more on discussing the nature of the problem I was informed it's probably a hardware fault due to IC or Fuse or combination of them. As these are surface mounted components they wouldn't be repairable by normal means and they wouldn't even give me a number for an independent phone repair.
Can anyone know of and can give me the contact details of a repair person based in the UK who'd be willing to look at it ?

Thankyou,
I appreciate the time taken to respond and especially the offer, however although not completely inept with a soldering iron changing the motherboard may well be beyond my expertise, but I'd be willing to give it a go if all else fails.
I have managed to locate another repair center reportedly having Samsung Qualified technicians. Initial communications seemed to suggest they could deal with the assessment which they provide for free. I have sent the handset to them and am now awaiting their report.
If things do not work out with the repair center, I would like to contact you to discuss your offer further.
Regards
Response from repair center - beyond economical repair - but no further detail.
I think I'll call it quits now and just invest in a new handset.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2KF0YV4051 $145 brand new.
I might be willing to part with my own for a reasonable price too, but it wouldn't be less than $100. Has an extended battery. Probably better to get a brand new one.
HELP
I just f*^$d up my DZ with wrong engineering hboot
Now it wont boot (nothing works: POWER, POWER+VOL-, except POWER+VOL+ vibretes 3 times and orange led is flashing "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM")

Damn
Riff box with DZ jtag cable costs 150$ (about 500PLN on Polish Allegro)
Its more expensive than new motherboard for DZ
Can I make roff box in home?
Or just soldier some parallel pins from PC to mu DZ mtherboard?
You could get to work with an arduino and a serial port on PC, then solder points to logic board, probably run ya about 50-60$

50-60$?
its still 200PLN, this is better than 150$ (350PLN)
I saw some models like paperduino (http://lab.guilhermemartins.net/2009/05/06/paperduino-prints/)
or AVTduino (http://sklep.avt.pl/p/pl/57409/avtduino+-+starter+kit.html)
Paperduino is about 30-40PLN, but AVTduino cost 90PLN
Still better than 500PLN for riffbox
IMO I thing you'd be better off trying your luck on eBay or some local online bazar or something... get a broken phone for 40-50$ and replace broken parts.

Please consider me Novice in JTag field, Do we need different boxes for different devices, i have seen several videos on Jtag,I have sent mail to their US distributor bcoz unfortunately we do not have any in Canada. What's the success rate on these devices ?? Do we have any instructional videos or any support how to use RIFFBOX , just want to make sure if i would be able to use it before i make my order
I have just realised that you don't tell us if you have warranty... if you have it then use it. Cause the way I've told you before probably will void the warranty.

I don't know how it works in your country but here in mexico, there are several External Service Centers (not official) they repare anything, softbrick, hardware brick, change the case cover, dialpad, etc. but it has a cost. If you buy the box just to repair your phone I think it will cost a lot of money to you since this boxes works with a lot of models of different brands (they are expensive) and you need technical knowledge about how to work with them.
In my case, the Service Center first tried with riffbox (cheaper and fast way) and it worked to turn on the phone in a couple of minutes, it was indicating there was bootloader broken so it worked when tried to rapair it but since my emmc memory was kinda buggy, it died the same day, so i left it again to warranty on the SC and they then tried with jtag this way they told me is like the "hard reset" since wipe and make again the partition system and install all the stuff, now works pretty well but they make a warning to me abut future deads because the final solution and the real one that needs my phone is to change the motherboard (they don't change just the emmc).
But if your emmc is ok, they probably just need to use riffbox maybe jtag but your phone will surely be ok again.
the cost for the reparation should be about 30-50 USD
If you don't know where is one of this external service centers on your town, try searching on google about riffbox, jtag service center in -your town-.

Thanks a lot for this much knowledge about this product. I always help my friend fixing their phones and some of my good friends pay me for that. Its kind of part time job for me. I am just crazy to try something new in this field so I am not worrying about money part right now. That is why I am just seeking information how much it will cost and from where i can get information how to use this box. I guess we need lot of new things to learn before i start using it. Please let me know whatever u know about it, I am gathering knowledge from google too and other websites , Your help so far is very much appreciated. Please let me know what else you know about these riffbox or jtag ?
I accidentally dropped my HTC 10 and now the vibration/haptic feedback isn't working.
I've turned the vibration setting on. I've ran the diagnostic test and it isn't working so I know it is a hardware problem and that the motor is most likely broken or disconnected.
My question is, does anyone know if it's possible to have someone open up the phone and do a quick check to see what's wrong or to contact HTC and get a replacement? I'm aware that HTC has a terrible customer service and that here in Hong Kong they are apparently even worse than elsewhere. There are a lot of phone repair stores throughout Hong Kong that could easily open up my phone and see if it can be easily fixed, but I would like to know if it is something that can be repaired by re-attaching something or is it a part that is soldered onto the phone and would need to be sent back in?
Cheers
You are lucky:laugh: htc 10 vibration is very annoing

Checking the vibration motor means the LCD has to be removed, since that's the only way to acess the phone boards and components.
Doing this operation might damage the LCD, and in my opinion it's a high risk just to have the vibration working/checked.
Hello guys,
My 5X is infected by this "bootloop" issues which I posted here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/help-screen-freeze-stuck-lines-reboot-t3528689, well I manage to temporary fixed it but yeah sometimes it still reboot or hang by itself like once in a week.
I know it's not a big deal but I'm afraid it will lead to something worse in the future, so I think I should try to fix the hardware.
Some people says it was the EMMC thou other say it gotta be something else, then I asked one of phone repair technician in my place to help to fix the EMMC, well after I told him, he agreed that it's has problem with the EMMC. So he offer to change the EMMC with the one from Samsung, but as I look into the spreadsheet the original one is made by Toshiba, then he tell me that it will make no difference since they both are made for phone.
So I'm asking for help from anyone who knows about this technical or maybe an expert at repairing a phone is it true ?
Is there anything to notice before changing the EMMC on the phone ? like the EMMC specification ? since the Toshiba one has "5.0" on it and I'm sure it meaning something but I couldnt figure it out.
Please any advice will be appriciated.
Thanks in advanced.
please help anyone ? or someone with experienced in tearing down the phone components ?
I owned G3 before i facing screen faded,bootloop
first method i use piece of paper to push EMMC it work for few day
second method i reheat EMMC with baker for 8min 200'c it work for a week then i sell it
you should reheat you EMMC and add pressure to EMMC to make more contact in mainboard.

thanks for your response
so are two of those method just works for temporary ?
do you know by a chance that it is possible to change the EMMC with another EMMC different from the original one ?
Here!
https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-5-hardware-modded-to-64gb-internal-storage-by-replacing-emmc/
second method i reheat it but i didnt add pressure on the chip so you might try it,before change the emmc.
Heat it up and press on the chip to make more contact on mainboard
when you press try to not move to chip it might malfunctional.

I tried to pm you but it appear I can't
So here it is....I want to try your method about heating the chip but I need to ask few questions and hope you help me on this.
How much temperature needed to heat the chip and how long it took ?
Is it the processor chip or the emmc one ?
Thanks in advance.
8min at 200 degrees Celsius.
