[Q] HELP |galaxy wont turn on after flash - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i tried to flash my tab by the xda tutorial...
i got a flash fail and then the tab wont turn on...
wont get into download mode.
what can i do??
thanks.

Wont turn on at all?
We need more specifics. What did you try to flash with? What did you try to flash? What device are you using?
Usually a device that won't turn on means corrupt bootloader, which is a bricked tab. But that may not be the case, we just need specifics.

And make sure you have a full charge -for hours connected to outlet, not usb+pc.

k, so its an asiain tab,
i flashed it using odin 1.3
p1_add_hidden.pit
in the PDA i accedentlly put P1000OXAJM6(PAR)
i got "failed" at the factoryfs phase and i cant
turn it on even to DL mode or recovery...
do u need any more info?
tx.

If you aren't getting any screen at all (not even the ---!--- screen), even with a full charge, it's bricked, and going to take a jtag to repair.
Just read another thread in the CM7 thread about someone flashing the wrong file in the wrong spot. Usually means bricked.

and if its bricked, i assume i cant do it on my own... right?

You can buy a jtag and an adapter and do it yourself, bout 200 for both I think.

This is the Galaxy Tab forums not the Galaxy S.
You really should be asking your question over there...

Hate to say it, but Atheist is right, this post is beyond being in the wrong sub-forum...
but I can tell you, if you can't force it to turn on, it sounds boned.

Of course if you don't know how to use a JTAG or don't have the time to learn how, you can bring it to Samsung and have them fix it... If it's still possible to get fixed.

[Q] galaxy tab dead

hi i loaded froyo (i9000ugjl2) on galaxy tab, but now it doesent come on. the flashlight at the back stays on and flashes sometime. wot do i do?
We need WAY WAY more information than that to provide assistance. Lets start with:
Tab Version (Wi-fi, GSM, CDMA)
Carrier
What you did/how you got to this point. PRECISELY, and step by step.
ok i have the tab p1000 cdma. i loaded t-mobile via odin on saterday, but that was not my default rom. i googled froyo and found ( I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC ) file and it said froyo download.
after loading it with odin (pda) the tab switched off and the flash stayed on.
If I'm not mistaken, I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC is for Galaxy S, not Galaxy Tab. loading this ROM into Galaxy Tab can damage the device's board physically.
Not to mention the t-mobile ROM is GSM, and you have a CDMA device.
You bricked it, twice.
*edit* Pretty sure you wont get any 3 button combination to work, but in the off chance, try putting it into download mode... If it goes, you have a chance... If you can't get it into download mode, it's toast.
ok it looks like i can go into download mode cuz if i conect to odin and start it dosent but if i hold volume down and power it seems to work i dont think i have the right software to laod to the tab.

You need to reflash back to stock, I'm a GSM device owner and know very little about CDMA tabs, but if you do a search in the development forums for "CDMA Stock" or something similar you should find what you are looking for.
If you can access download mode, I don't believe it's beyond repair... Just do your research on this forum before flashing anything else, and always do it before flashing a device for the first time. Search is your friend.

First thing's first, don't keep on trying to do something until you are sure of it. It might drain your battery.
hi guys
ja i have given up on this tab. i downloaded (P1000ZHKC2_P1000ZHKC1_P1000ZZHKC1_HOME) and loaded it on tab. it loads then reboots but still no luck.
the flash still stays on ......... im gona c if i can do a insurance claim then get the tab 10inch. unless some1 can come up with a way on how to do a hardware reset. (formate via hardware)

[Q] Help please. No reaction after odinflash.

Hey guys
I'm really ****ed. I just tried to flash the JVO stock firmware via odin. Before I was running on Darkys 10.1 Resurrection rom.
Odin just worked normally, I booted into DL-mode, checked Repartition and inserted all the JVO files from Samfirmware using .512pit. Odin finished and gave me the "Pass!" message, then i waited for my phone to reboot but nothing happened. No vibration, no lights, no anything. I can neither get into recovery nor download mode anymore. I tried different things, taking out the battery, connecting USB in several combinations, but still nothing happens...
Can anybody help me or is there just no hope left?
Thanks
Try to take the battery out for 10 mins and try download mode again,
Thanks I will try that. Did it work before?
it has for some people but it all depends on the seriousness of the flash,
some people have corrupted the bootloaders leaving the phone completely dead
some have managed to get their SGS to rise from the dead... i dont know what category yours comes under
seems as if it didnt work... should i try contacting the samsung support?
does the phone show any sign of life ??
does anything light up ? does the charging screen come on when charger is connected ?
if nothing happens then samsung will be your last resort.
BUT act dumb, act like you dont know **** about phones, and try your best to blame it on kies, do not mention the words froyo or gingerbread or odin. you might be ok
no it does not show any sign, just nothing... just a black brick anymore
i'm gonna try to contact samsung, thank you for your help!
You had deadlys rom = broken phone .
Use download recovery jig flash stock rom with pit and repartition checked .
jje
i would love to but i cant get into download mode anymore...
the jigs i already had a look for are said only to work with devices that still show a sign of life, mine does not do anything...
if still persist, could you please send me a link to that jig?
Go to galaxy s general/stickies, its the 2nd post I think....good luck

nope, send it off to samsung, or take it to your nearest service centre, you should have it fixed and returned in 14 days or less.
until then, bring out the old nokia everyone has one, at least you wont need to charge it everyday
Thank you guys alot, got it back working after 8 days!
got it working ? or got it fixed by samsung ?
fixed by samsung! twice by now ^^

[Q] plz guys help me am in big trouble ??????

it started when i wanted to upgrade my galaxy tab to 2.3.3 gingerbread but something went wrong on oden and my galaxy stucked at screen of death (that screen that has a mobile icon pc and an exclamation mark) anyway i got out of it using hiemdall but now iam stucked at adroid system recovery 3e how to go back to the OS and also i can go to download screen ......
thnx (sorry for disturbance)
guys 85 views and no answer plz i need help
Well I can tell you how to completely brick your tab but I, probably as well as most of the people who viewed your post, don't know how to fix...
Doesn't take much to view a post, less to give bad advice... Requires patience to get the person who can help, to find your post and answer...
You also have a cdma tab, i believe, that's bad as most people have the gsm variant. It also means that steps I take to rectify your problem on my tab will probably brick yours...
Now, would you like me to tell you how to fix MY tab???
Also, no idea what you were on, what you were trying to flash, rooted or unrooted, locked bootloader check done and cdma, wifi-only or gsm??? We need this information before we can help.
thnx for your reply ultra. my phone is gsm (the one that i can insert sim card) and its rooted and i was updating to ginerbread when oden stucked at factoryfs and failed and it bricked i used hiemdall to skip the pc screen and go to download screen so what can i do know ????????
thnx in advance
1st thing I'd do is get my stock froyo rom... The one that came on the gtab. reflash that and then try again from there if successful...
You night find your stock rom here on xda or you might need to go further afield like samfirmware. I'd also, if back on stock rom, test to make sure my bootloaders weren't locked otherwise you may end up here again....
bootloadercheck/patch can be found in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
Cheers...
thnx for the replay but there is a prooblem that happened yestarday my galaxy tab wont start while out of charger but while in charger it shows that pc thingy screen if you may help i apperciate it thnx

Did you check to see if you had a locked bootloader before attempting to flash?
Which rom/guide did you use/follow?
Have you tried the Overcome rom/guide?

Any chances of resurrecting my Galaxy Tab?

Ok! I bought a Samsung P1000N Galaxy Tab from ClaroPR this week. Like always with every android devices i have i rooted it with superoneclick. Yesterday i was trying to update the tablet to gingerbread since it had Froyo. Follow the tutorials in here to flash it(I guess i didnt read the warnings about the secure bootloaders or something like that) but the thing is that i ended up softbricking my device. The gingerbread i was trying to flash was the JQ1. Anyways, i tried to flash it using Odin 1.7, it ended up failing and now i just have the cell triangle and computer logo of dead on the screen. Thing is that i know its not supposed to be totally bricked. But then in the device manager it doesnt show as samsung composite device or anything like that. I need help from someone who has gone thru this already and knows what to do. Or is it just a brick and thats it? Thanks...

If you get anything on the screen at all (Triangle, Download mode, Samsung logo, etc...) It's not bricked, just sponged. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the P1000N, but in general, try reloading the samsung drivers and try another USB port. Once you get it to show up in device mangler you can push the right tar with Odin and you'll be cooking with gas again. Sorry I can't help with this specific model, but sammy devices in general are hard to truly "brick"
Okay i think now its dead. It turned off when it lost the charge and now not even Heimdall recognize it. So if someone knows about a good tutorial on Jtaging this i will appreciate.
Edit: Found useful guide in here to resurrect it so i will give that a try...
The Unbrickable Mod works like a champ! I know, because I had to resort to this over this last weekend.
However, it does require mods to the mainboard that require some skill. Once accomplished, it is virtually impossible to brick your Tab.

Why you want to go for Jtag just becoz battery is dead. Get the Tab Opened, Recharge the battery externally (Repair/Service Center should help). Follow the Team Overcome Guide to install the Stock Safe Rom and then you can either continue with it or move to any other ROM of your choice.
I would keep JTAG as the Last option.
If it's new Tab, it should still be under warranty.
wow, impressive post (the unbrickable mod).. Not sure I'd have the guts to do that though..

[Q] Samsung Captivate hard bricked. HELP.

So the other day i was on my captivate and i had just factory reset it to original eclair. so i tried updating it with kies but it kept failing. So i then tried using Odin and accidently checked bootloader and now my phone turned off and wont show any signs of life. PLEASE IM ASKING YOU PLEASE HELP! What do I do?
Can u get into Download mode with button combo or jig ?
If ur phone shows zero signs of life, even when plugged in to a wall charger, then it is probably hard bricked and so u will need jtag service in order to bring ur phone back to life. Check out mobiletechvideos.com, they can fix ur phone.

But i dont get it. I was flashing with odin and it magically formatted the bootloader. Is there a way for me to fix it by myself like restoring the bootloader. I got my phone only 2 month ago. I dont have 40 dollars to invest on jtag service. Like how would they fix it. Could I please get instructions? Thanks and most help is appreciated

It doesn't format the bootloaders per say, it you flash a stock ROM with Odin that has bootloaders and if it gets interrupted while it's replacing them, your phone will be bricked as it doesn't have a way to boot (hence the name bootloaders).
The JTAG service basically pushes the bootloaders into the phone. It's something we can't do on our own unless we have the right equipment (riftbox).
Like 4-2ndtwin mentioned, try to get some response from your phone, anything that would show life. That means you can recover on your phone. From there, you'd have to be able to get in download mode and flash Odin KK4 without ANY interruption.
My phone wont turn on and when i put it in charge it wont even show the battery charging. What else can i do to fix my phone?

Try the button combo to get in download mode (could even try a jig). If that fails too, you'll have to get jtag service.

The only alternative I can suggest you is to find that service around your place, hopefully for cheaper.

From what I've read in your thread, you had the i9000 image working, correct? If so, why not just roll with it?
All Captivate/i9000 rom works with the i9000 bootloader. Captivate GB Rom will need to get the 2.3.5 i9000 Music Player APK, but aside from that, it all works. AOSP roms like Cyanogenmod and Slimbean will work out of the box if you get the captivate version. To install them, you'll need a slight workaround though:
Flash a kernel with CWM.
From there, flash the Captivate Glitch Kernel V13. It only comes in .ZIP format, which is why you need a CWM kernel before hand
Flash CM7 to convert the partition table(IMPORTANT. Rom will not boot if you skip this step.)
Flash anything from here on. If it throw a status 7 about device not being SGH-i896/SGH-i897, etc..., flash the Glitch Kernel before attempting to flash the ROM. You do not need to flash CM7 again.
(I know other ROM should have converted the partition table, but in reality it doesn't. Since you're flashing from Glitch, a CM7/MIUI kernel, they assumes you already have the MTD partition layout, and only resize it instead of doing a full conversion. CM7 check the partition table regardless of which kernel you're flashing it from.)
As a plus, Deep Idle works only with the i9000 bootloader. You'll get sleep of death otherwise. If you want your ATT World Phone image back, you can flash the custom param.lfs and change it manually. This can only be done from Touchwiz ROM though.
