That would probably mean the battery doesn't have enough juice in it, so you have to charge the device a little while.
After a couple of minutes, go to download mode (power + volume down while the Tab is powered off and not plugged in). You will see a yellow sign with an exclamation mark (!). You should be able to use Odin after you plugged in the Tab.

Been trying all-day. Nothing works all I get is the battery logo . I just can't get odin to see it

[Q] Bricked? Stuck on either white AT&T screen or grey, frozen battery screen, no USB

[Q] Bricked? Stuck on either white AT&T screen or grey, frozen battery screen, no USB
While trying to install Cognition v2.2b3 via Clockworkmod (from stock at&t 2.1 froyo) something happened mid-install and my phone ended up rebooting, and I have not been able to turn it on since.
-When attempting to power on normally, phone shows white AT&T screen and hangs there
-When attaching USB, phone shows battery screen but battery is all grey and rotating progress icon is frozen. Does not appear to be charging.
-Computer does not recognize phone in any state. Latest USB drivers are installed and I have had no issues connecting via USB previously.
-Cannot get into download or recovery mode using any volume/power button combination or through adb. Also tried attaching USB with ODIN running while attempting button combinations, inserting/removing battery etc, still nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anything else I should try?

Go into Download mode, hold both volume buttons down and plug your phone into USB. If it doesn't work than pull the battery and try again.
If that doesn't work keep trying until it does. I'm serious, it took me like 40 tries last night to flash stock with the 1 click and then finally get cognition running (that only took one flash)
Odin is a piece of crap, it works maybe every 10th time for me. I've never used the rom manager to install roms, always use clockwork recovery. Less to go wrong if your in recovery mode I suppose.
But literally just keep trying until it works o.0
Hi. I've experienced exactly the same this night. Try this: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911 it helped instantaneously.
BTW, you really need to wait at least 10 secs after removing battery.
I have the exact same problem.
My battery screen shows up with nothing but a flash loading icon and a grey battery. When I simply turn my phone on its stuck in ATT boot screen. I tried the instructions many times trying to get into download mode but right when i put it in the battery while holding down up/down/power it simply just shows the "frozen battery charging" screen again.
HELPP

phone stuck on galaxy s screen

Alright guys,
Tried installing some battery icon replacement the phone then restarted...then gets stuck on galaxy s screen it plays the startup music in the background but doesnt change...i held the volume up, home and power button to reset the phone but it still freezes on the screen.
I've got no idea how to flash to stock australian rom any help would be most appreacited....
Turn the phone off.
Check then if download mode is working(volume+,home then power).
If this works then use odin to change the firmware.
Search the development section for this.
Hope you fix it.
Cheers

BAD thing after 2.2.1 update

I have updated the phone to android 2.2.1 and after reboot it appears Samsung's logo, vibrate once, but then it goes to a black screen, vibrating something like this: "bzzz.....bzz-bzz.............bzzz....bzz-bzz...." and so on )
The phone didn't restarted by himself, I had to chose system reboot. There were some red lines, but I don't remember what they were saing, as I did not pay attention to them
The update was made through Kies. The phone was with 2.2 version and was rooted with some app from the market, don't remember which, and is from Orange Romania.
So...what I need to do? Does anyone knows? It's not even my phone, my brother has it, but I'm the one who wanted the update )
L.E.: LagFix was also installed on the phone and I think those errors was from some files which could not be edited or something like that...and please, I'm a little desperate...

Which firmware you had before update? 2.1 Eclair? Most known lagfixes supports for 2.2 froyo
Did you tried your luck with odin?
Thank you androidsl for reply. The phone had froyo 2.2. I don't know where to get odin, this is what I'm searching now. I am downloading I9000XXJPY.rar from samfirmware right now. After I'll get it, I will try to install it with odin, even if I never used it before
And that charghing battery appears on screen when I plug it in USB powered off like it's charging. If I turn it on, no sound as a new hardware detected hears, so it's posible to do anything with odin if my computer doesn't see the phone connected?
Another thing...I can't get the phone in download mode :| It must be the one with 3 buttons problem..damn! What can I do?

Did your phone have working 3 button download mode?
Press Volume down key and while holding that press home key. while keep pressing those two, press the power button and hold the all three keys until you saw the boot screen. then release all keys.
If you have a yellowish screen saying "Download mode, do not turn off the target", Man this is your lucky day
If I press those keys and release them after that samsung galaxy s logo, it gos into that black screen and vibrating thing again. If I keep pressing those 3 buttons for a long time it just rebooting continuously (samsung galaxy s logo appears-disappears-appears-disappears-appears-disappears etc until I release the buttons and goes into that black screen)
So, to be clear what is going on with the phone. It's turned off. I turn it on and it displays that samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 logo, then that animation with that sound..and that's all. After that..a black screen and vibrations
If you can not get to download mode that is a thing to consider. no download mode mean no odin
In that case i think you have to get a custom USB flashing cable to get into download mode. i saw ebay have that cable for a low price
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
Or return phone to vendor for repair .
jje
you need to hold vol down + home + power while the phones off and it should go into download mode.
what rom did you have before trying JPY?
My brother is leaving town after a few hours and he needed the phone. Eh...)
I will buy a microUSB cable and mod it for download mode. If that's not working...I will go with it on a service. Thank you guys. I thought that something could be done, even the 3 buttons method doesn't work

[Q] unbrick galaxy mini?

so i rooted my phone installed rom manager and flashed something like colckwork rom of hawai mini i switched of my mobile.Today in morning when i tried to tun it on it wont only a black screen no sound no logo no vibration I even tried to remove and insert battery but no luck.I think its a hard brick i got this mobile on 28 feb 2011 and it is still under 1 year warrenty of samsung so can i get a new mobile in place of it or just recover it.(I have the UK system here noot of USA)
can you tell me any way to unbrick it any any one
I have done something similar to my Samsung Vibrant. Rooted and was in process of installing new ROM when on restart got a screen that has Vibrant at the top of screen and Samsung on the bottom of screen then a blank black screen and then goen into a vibrating loop of single vibrate and then another single vibrate and then a triple vibrate and then it starts the loop over again. The only thing I can do is pull the battery to stop it. Anyone know of any thing I can do to correct this or to revert the ROM or anything?
Thank you
Larry
Take it to T-Mobile and say when you turned it on it was like this and they might send it off to be replaced.
i hate those people who wanna pay their insurance for their silly things and fails!
i hope, tmobile won't take it back.
let's see..it's really hard to brick a phone though.
had some problems with my further hd2 as well..yeah, you get really annoyed but if you chill out, in 99% of the cases you'll find a solution.

so guys i live in india here it is called galaxy pop i went to samsung service center and there they replaced my motherboard for free cause it was still in warranty .I will get it next tuesday
I have this model, too. But it is called GT-S5570. It works fine, but i bought it network lock. Have you succeded unlock it?
Had the same, the solution is simple:
Download the newest firmware at samfirmware.com
Use Odin Multi Downloader to upload the firmware to your mobile
(mobile needs to be in download mode, this should still work. Try volume down + home + power)
Just upload the clean firmware and it should be done. The complete guide is placed on the same website on the download page.

download mode is not available while is bricked, changing the firmware is NOT an option.

And I, I hate little brained guys who says f***king silly things like you. You're not just a little german, you're also a big sucker.
I swear you will have a problem with your phone, and no solution. Really I wish you that.
For other people who has this problem, don't worry, your phone is frozen, so they can't diagnose it. Just say you was syncronizing with Kies, and it happend the phone turned off and that's impossible to restart it. They'll just give you a new one or repair it.
HI
try these ways
it works with my galaxy s
Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector,
the last thing u can try is the jigs

Hello guys.I have a galaxy mini and i tried to root it.Everything went fine.Then i saw that an application "Rom manager" would be helpful for my phone.
So i installed it(like an idiot).
Then i tried to install clockwork mode (smthg like that from rom manager) and boom!Everything went black.
I tried to go into recovery mode,download mode NOTHING.
I tried to a lot of things but nothing is working.
Odin recognises my phone when i use volume up+home+end!But it stucks on setup.Again tried to do it in that way but still nothing.
Last i tried that jig thing.I bought 3x100k ohm resistors and do it like he says(that video from youtube) BUT STILL NOTHING.
I dont know what to do!
I would be gratefull if some1 could give me an advice to make it to turn on!
Tyyy.
This is exactly what happened to me too. Did Service centre repair it for free ? What did you tell them ? Please help. ITs urgent/ Bricked black screen.

This!!!
rooted phone!! installed Titanium Backup pro, rom-manager (though i didnt use it).
First i removed yahoofinance.apk thingy... it went black but recovered to charging mode (battery charging screen)... odd i thought.. and (like a idiot) booted up and removed livebackground forest thingy... now!
Pitch black, no state of recovery.
Just thist:
Vol up, home and power button. makes it visible to windows and odin.. KIES failes to connect it...
Its almost like... i got one first warning.. and then samsung decided to **** me!
is it somekind of "security lock"?, its not like i removed the kernel.
EDIT: so.. im messing around... The only thing that one really gets comunication with is the modem circuits, so it looks that way... But then what do i know...
ODIN connects to the same com-port as the samsung modem reports having in device manager!, so i asume this is unit it uses to when transfering the data, flashing.
Other: i get some different behaviors... etc, i would use "volup, home and power" to make it visible in win and then i could just use the power button to get the connection on and off (or rather reset! since i just one time got it to actually stay disconnected).
Now on the other hand i cant use the just the "Vol up" button combo, i have to press both Vol up and down with pwr and home to get it to connect with drivers and show up in ODIN etc..
In some cases u have to have battery unpluged and show it in while holding button combo and sometimes u dont..
I cant make out anything out of this, but maby some of u guys can!?

If the phone is hard bricked (no download mode, no battery charge indicator when power plugged in), you really do not have a choice.
While people claim to be able to use jtag / USB jig (see the only thread started by me in the accesories section of this miniforum), I do not have clear answers in that thread.

[Q] Galaxy N7000 will not turn on following boot loop

Hi
I have a Galaxy Note One N7000 on Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone when plugged in overnight somehow got stuck in a boot loop showing the Samsung G7000 screen followed by the Samsung Logo. I had not updated the OS and the phone had just been plugged in for charging.
I turned the phone off, held down the Power>Home>Vol Down keys and it gave me the message about downloading other OS's so I cancelled that.
The I held down the Power>Home>Vol Up keys which then brought up the image of the Android man with the blue rotating pattern in his middle.
After some minutes this disappeared and the phone started to boot. This time the phone stayed on the first Samsung G7000 screen permanently. So I pulled the battery and tried again with holding down the Power>Home>Vol Up keys and the phone went through the same sequence.
Tried this a third time and the phone then failed to turn on after the Android man disappeared.
Now the phone is dead and will not turn on. I have three batteries and they are all charged via a desktop charger so I know they are OK, so its not the battery.
Has anybody got any suggestions?
:crying:
Have you done any wipes whilst on ics?
