[Q] Hard Bricked, unrespsonsive, Jig doesnt work, about to get physical

---

So, heres my problem. I have 2 samsung fascinates. I screwed one up a while back and was able to pull it back together and get it into ICS on CM9 with all the proper files using Odin.

I recently got a second samsung fascinate and was attempting to flash the same files, through Odin, but was having trouble.

I was able to get CWR (I believe it was voodoo) onto the phone, but once in recovery mode and having cleared all cache's, wiped files, and factory reset, I still could not successfully instal the files from the SD card (the same ones that worked on the 1st fascinate)

SO

I downloaded another version (or so I thought), Pushed it through Odin, Odin said it passed and auto restarts the phone. The phone never comes back on.

In hindsight think that CWR somehow ended up being deleted from the phone (if thats possible without doing it on purpose) before what was pushed by Odin was actually pushed. The file might have been wrong, im not sure, I will post up the exact file name when I get home.

At this point, the phone is completely unresponsive,. No holding the volume, plugging it in, putting the battery in. Jig doesnt work, Heimdall Doesnt work, Fastboot doesnt work. No download mode, period. No lights, no vibration. Tried multiple batteries, tried assuming the screen was bad, tried multiple cables, tried plugging into wall and computer. Nothing.

Mac will not notice the device at all once its plugged in, however, PC notices and starts to wig out. I have to hold the power button down, while its plugged into the computer to allow for it to search for drivers

The driver is SEC S5PC110 TEST B/D notification.....I feel like this is for a phone other than the fascinate.

Either way, I try to download fascinate drives, or the driver its calling for, both being unresponsive.

Am I completely screwed? Or is the questions more that I found myself at the point the I have either deleted what was deemed "Un-deleteable" or do I need to take the board out and get a soldering iron?

Also, I know a developer, I have taken it to him and he looked at it and scratched his head......hopefully someone has some sort of solution. Thanks

What file did you try to flash?

I9100_APBOOT_I9100XXKP2_CL17109_REV02_eng_mid_ship .tar

This was the file I flashed. Again, in hindsight and based on what I was reading in the forum, it looked good. I have no idea what it actually is, and therfore should not have flashed it. But I was in read and repeat mode, so I didnt question much. If I can track down the exact thread I was in I will post it up as well.

thats what happens when you flash files for another
device to this one. there is a guide in the general section that has everything you needed. hopefully next time you do a bit more research before you get flash happy. at this point unbrickable mod is your only way out and that requires some microscopic soldering skills.

It looks like you flashed a bootloader for the Galaxy S2.

Interesting. It was in a fascinate forum talking about how to add ics to a fascinate phone.....hmm.
