can someone help me

I am in the same situation as you.
Recently rooted my Tab using v4root (Permanent Root)
Had already installed latest Kies and connected via USB to see it was being picked up.
Then tried to flash a rom using Odin v1.3 but it too failed towards the end and hung. I (stupidly) pulled the usb and restarted the tab to try again but now nothing!!
If I press power+down to get into DL mode, or power+Up to get into Recovery mode - all i get is the backlight turn on after 10seconds. Soon as I release the Power button, the backlight turns off.
Have tried plugging it to Odin but it does not see it at all (no yellow COM box) and also in Kies, it is not recognised even to try an Emergency Firmware Recovery.
Help please anyone

Can Someone help our problems????

i had a similar predicament mid last month when i made a mistake with the files i was flashing.. ended up with a black screen and my pc only recognises the tab as "SECs5pc110 test b/d device"... and either kies, odin, or heimdall wasn't seeing it as a tab. i had no choice but to send it to a samsung repair center. i got it back last friday.
if you are not able to enter a download mode or an alternate download mode there is no other choice but to send it to a repair center.

How long did it take for it to come back?
Did they charge you a repair/diagnostic fee for it, if so how much
I just got off the phone to them and they said i could send it over very recorded (insured) delivery but my "software update may have voided my warranty as there isn't a latest software update for the Galaxy Tab as yet"

i got my tab back after 2 weeks. as i was still covered by warranty (bought it around december 2010) i got it back without paying anything.

I have the same backlight on and black screen issue. Isn't there any other option and solve for the problem rather than sending it to a samsung repair center??

@ygmrsimsek when you connect your tab to your pc, does it detect your tab? when you check on your device manager does it recognize your tab as "SECs5pc110 test b/d device" or something similar to this?

Hopefully this will help. Go to download mode (Power button + Down volume + home key). use odin to repartition your tab. This should recover your failed tab. Btw, there are many help on this in software hacking and development forum. Check them out.

Got my tab back
after a week i wait for my tablet..
its back to mee..they said my mainboard is broken,so they replace it with a new one
thanks all for ur support...
looks like i stop doing the flash and upgrading things

that's good to hear.. did they charge you for the replacement?

[Q] After update, black screen (rooted phone)

Hi,
At first I would like to apologize for any grammar errors I'm from Holland but I'll try to do it right
I've gotten myself into a problem, I tried to update my Galaxy S which runs on Froyo and it's rooted.
It all went pretty well until I had to reboot my phone, it show the moving S sign and plays the music at start-up but wont go any further and keeps displaying a black screen and from time to time it vibrates a bit.
I don't know what I should do now and any help would be very much appreciated.
If someone needs moor information about the error or something else just say so
Greetings!
hello i had the exact same problem as you. in the end i had to reset factory setting which will delete most of the data (on mine it deleted text messages and contacts). however this was months ago and there may be a better fix now (where you get to keep the data)
but with the phone off press and hold voume up + home button + power buton together for a few seconds (untill galaxy s appears on screen) and select the data reset option (volume keys are up and down, power key is used to select the highlighted option)
if you follow my method then you MAY lose data nut you will get your phone back. however there MAY be a better way than that.
Hi,
yes I've tried that but I can't seem to acces that menu, when I press home + power button + volume up it gets me in a loop of showing Galaxy S GT-19000, and then it keep on rebooting. So or I'm doing something wrong or my phone isn't working properly.
Seems that you have a broken SBL ( secondary boot loader ) . It can be fixed but you first need to make yourself or buy a Galaxy S Jig to enter Download mode , where you can flash a rom and hopefully repair your SBL also ( with Bell i9000M rom I repaired my SBL).
Yea, if the phone isnt detected by your computer you will need to make/buy a jig. Newer galaxy s phones had the option to enter download mode and recovery disabled.

Well went to the store were I bought the phone, and they couldn't access the phone, he was able to get it into the download mode but he wasn't able to download any roms to it.
So he send it to Samsung because I still got my factory warranty so its up to them I gues..

[Q] Stuck on clockworkmod

Hi
I tried to remove Bejeweled using a program I downloaded (I can't remember the name). It said it would reboot twice, but it seemed to have frozen after the first reboot, so I pulled the battery.
Now, every time I try to turn the phone on, it goes into ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0 and stays there. None of the buttons do anything at all, so I can't get to any of the options.
Samsung Kies and Odin 3 don't seem to recognise the phone when I plug it in by USB and I can't find any button combinations that stop it going to ClockworkMod.
I only got the phone a few days ago, so I'm not sure if I can send it back and claim the Froyo update on Kies broke it. I would prefer to fix it myself though. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
So can you get into download mode or not?
No, I can't get to anything other than clockworkmod, and that freezes.
When I plug the usb lead in, it turns on without pressing the power button, but still freezes at clockworkmod. Hope that helps.

GOOD
What you want to do is, pull battery out, put it back in, Hold volume down and Home button, THEN put in the usb lead, That should put you into download mode, then you can flash thru odin
Pull ur battery so phone is completely dark hold the 3 button combo for the download mode the phone should power in download mode or last option is get a jig for a pound on ebay

Thanks for your help. When I tried azzledazzle's solution, it went to frozen clockworkmod again, but the Galaxy S screen at the start doesn't show. Also, my version has never responded to any key combos, even when it worked.
I have attached a picture of what Odin shows when I put the USB lead in. Not sure if I can do anything with it. By the way, I've never used Odin before so I don't know if there are any settings I need to change.
I'll order one of those 'jigs' but hopefully I can get it fixed before that arrives.
you have selected 512 pit, but you havent ticked re-partition, that is whats causing your problem.
you say your phone never responded to button combo's. does that mean you have never been in download mode ??
The 'jig' has arrived and put me straight into download mode! Definitely recommended for anyone who can't use the three button combos. I have used a new rom with the 512 pit and repartition unchecked, and Android 2.2.1 installed fine. This also solved the button combo problem.
In reply to azzledazzle, the only time I saw download mode before the jig arrived was when Kies mucked up an update.

[Q] all apps are crashing

I installed Amimod that lets me change the transitions between apps, i ran it to change it to a cross fading transition and it said i had to reboot later to make the changes take effect. I kept that and mind and used some other apps. They all didn't load and gave me the "com.xxx.xxxx is unable to continue" type deal with the force quit button.
So i restarted my phone and now launcher loads but the pop ups come saying "com.android.phone is unable etc" or "com.android.media is unable...". There is no status bar and the phone doesn't lock. After about five minutes of trying to press the force quit button, nothing happens. I went into recover mode and cleared my cache but that didn't help.
[tldr] I can get my phone into download mode but is it possible to open the phone as a root folder on my computer so i could uninstall Animod and any changes it made? I don't want to master reset.
ROM reflash is only option.
I reflashed using odin but now its stuck in a boot loop with the att logo. When i plug it into the usb it loops the loading sign and the battery sign. What now?
Have you used odin before?
Which odin did you use?
What build is your phone?
Can you still get into download mode?
I have not used odin before this was my first time.
I used the one that is prepackaged with the .pit and .tar file "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe"
My phone was stock android that i rooted.
Cant get it into download with any button combo.
Under your battery left side on the white sticker. Your phone had a build number. Mine is 1008. 10 meaning 2010 08 meaning august. What is yours
Also tell me exactly what you have tried to get into dl mode
Build number 1011, and now my phone wont even turn on. When i hold the power button it is unresponsive, and its not dead i charged it.

Looks like you will need to try to force the DL mode with the odin instructions or get a jig and see if that works
Download mode
remove all sd, sim, bat
Put bat back in
Hold volume up abd down
Plug in usb
In it works great, if not usb jig
Going forward do not use odin one click use this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&po
i got it into download mode using the button combos (battery out then hold vol up and down etc) and used the odin 1 click downloader for captivate, but it failed twice.
It got to the point where I had to buy some resistors to make a USB jig. The jig worked fine and put it into download mode but Odin still failed...Twice more. Now my phone wont even show the logo when i hold the powerbutton and the jig doesnt seem to work anymore. Its not the battery because i charged it for a full night before i tried jigging it again.
I would try the non one click odin method now except that i cannot get my phone into download mode.
I have no idea what to do now, it seems like its completely bricked.
At this point (if I'm able to replace it) would the workers at samsung or att be able to access my data at all? I only had the phone for 3 months. And would my warranty be void for rooting/flashing?

Hypothetically, yes and yes, but the reality is they will likely just wipe it and reflash it without ever looking at what's on it. Just tell them something went wrong when you tried to upgrade to Froyo via Kies. That's happened to enough people that they probably won't question it.

Galaxy mini doesn't do anythin HELP

Edit

bricked. (not very sure,cwm frm rom manager is partially supported now. work in progress)

That is a nice, nasty, hard brick.
If you are getting into download mode and ODIN running on the PC recognises your phone, you are lucky - get any stock rom from samfirmware and flash it first. Use the phone for a few days more, and then, you can upgrade to new 7.1 cyanogenmod ROM.
try going into download mode by holding home and vol down the connect the usb 2 ur phone
or try holding vol up+down home and power
if it doesnt work try getting a jig from ebay
get a jig its the only way to fix it
SSC (Samsung Service Center) is the only way.
Congrats, next time read before doing anything.

[Q] Samsung galaxy s plus cant boot

Hi, Im David, I have got a Samsung Galaxy S plus mobile.
I installed the clockworkmod to the phone to backup my datas, but i couldnt exit from the CWM.
After few rebooting, my mobile not boot. The samsung logo dont appear, and i plug into the charger, the battery dont appears too...
What should i do?
Im sorry for my grammar errors, im Hungarian.
Thank you for your answers!
Whatever you try to do screen remains black? No sound, nothing?
If so, I'm afraid you have been hard-bricked, but no need to panic, follow these steps and it will get your phone into download mode and from there you can flash a rom throught odin and your phone will be back to life.
Step 1 – Prepare odin with the firmware u want to flash and get it ready to go;
Step 2 – Remove battery, SIM and SD card, next connect your galaxy to the computer;
Step 3 – Hold Volume down + Power + Home button at the same time;
Step 4 – Insert the battery and wait a bit;
Step 5 – At this point Odin should have detected your galaxy ( Yellow rectangle should appear in your odin );
Step 6 – Click Start button in Odin and wait about 5 min.
That should bring your phone back to life.
If it worked for you, please click the "Thanks" button =)
No sound, no sign, the screen is black.
Im trying your steps. But how long the buttons I hold at step3?
if not something went wrong, it doesnt work
What about usb jig? Do i try it?
Well yeah you can try using a jig, As the jig will force your phone into the download mode and from there you can flash a custom rom.
If you don't have a jig you can find one on ebay
Jig might aswell not solve your problem, Since I think that your phone's bootloaders are damaged and therfore you have to send your phone to a repair place, and since your warrent is voided, they will charge you extra cash for that.
But you should first try the jig, High chance that it will force your phone into download mode.
Goodluck!
Press the "Thanks" button if I helped you
I will try the jig soon.
But i have a warranty. If i take it to the t-mobile with warranty, they repair it?

Once you rooted your phone, you have voided your warranty,, therefore they will charge you for the repair, If you still have your warranty, they will repair it for free, but rooting voides the warranty.
I installed only clockworkmod recovery.
Nothing else.
I tired the jig, nothing.
I think I take it to the service
