[Q] Bricked Galaxy tab :(

I bricked my tab. First I tried to install Modaco's kernel with Odin 1.7 and then it got stuck on galaxy tab screen. I could enter download mode, I tried to install rotohamers ROM and Odin said pass but I was still stuck on the same screen. So I entered download mode again and Odin got stuck for 30 minutes, I closed Odin and turned off the tab now I can't enter download mode or turn on the tab or do anything. When I plug it in to charge the screen lights up that's pretty much all that happens. Is there any hope? And if not can I get the tab replaced? Thanks in advance. Now I get a white screen when I plug it in.

I guess, if cannot enter download mode there ist no chance to solve the problem without help of a samsung service station.
Or you must reassemble your device and flash it with a riff box.
google for "riff-box-jtag"

I guess I will need my receipt.. And I don't have it.. Do you think it's worth a try?

First try to charge the tab. Than put it into download mode by pressing power and volume down. Check odin if it found device. If yes you are saved. I am telling this because it has been mentioned few times here that tabs simply discharged during flashing and it can be unnoticed. Secondly during failed attempts tab screen can show anything but in fact it can be in download mode once power + vol down is pressed so just check if this is your case.

I tried it but the Tab just show a blank screen and Windows won't even find it..

Youve screwed your bootloader up.
Your only option is to JTAG it or send it away fro repair.

What is a JTAG ? From what i've seen (Google ) it's seems to be something that I buy?
Thank you all for your answers!

At this point mate, send it to samsung service centre for repair...
J-tag is NOT for the faint of heart or noobs...Not for most people come to that...

That's what I tought and I gave them a call, but they say they can't do anything without a receipt.
I'll give them a second call.

ok if you cant get samsung to accept your tab try letting ur tab discharged all the way to empty. Once its completely dead, let it be for a day, then plug it in and try to boot to download mode. I havent used this technique on the tab, but it has worked for other phones ive had by removing the battery for a bit and put it back. Let me know if it works. Thanks
PS
Dont know if you are in the states, but if you purchased from any of the carriers, they should be able to help you out within the first year or so. unbranded, you should be able to track down the reciept from place of purchase

this is where im at.
first the history. I had serindipity, tried adding the unusefull kernel and got stuff in a att splash then off cycle. I made a jig, got it to the downloader screen. plugged into odin and all was going well but odin stalled and i waited a good 15 minutes. nothing, i pulled the battery and no matter what i do i get this screen. been looking all over for answers before i asked, but nothing anyone else did works. currently my pc does not see anything plugged up which scares me. ive tried 3 different usb cables. any ideas?
and yes i read ALL the threads that populated when i typed the title.

Can you still get into download mode?
You did try closing odin, then reopen it. Pull battery out of phone. Put back in. Dont turn it back on. hold volume up and down button at same time then plug the usb into phone.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Build or buy a USB download mode JIG. Just search the term and either give it a shot or buy one to get back into download mode.

what is an unusefull kernel? do you mean unhelpful? the forum member? that was a 2.1 kernel. other than that i dont know what an "unusefull" kernel can be.
even if you get the phone to computer screenthe phone can take a connection from odin occasionally.
pull the battery
open odin
hold the volume up and volume down buttons
put the battery back in
keep holding the volume buttons untill either the phone+computer or a yellow android with a shovel pops up on the phone screen
watch odin and see if a yellow box lights up. if it does then press start on odin.
the phone + computer screen sometimes shows when the phone is in download mode if something is really messed up but seeing it doesnt mean you are also in download mode.
i dont want anyone telling me the difference between the phone+computer and download because i have succesfully flashed with the phone+computer screen as well as with a completely black screen, sometimes you get lucky!

It was the unhelpful kernal. Sorry about that. I have done everything you guys have said already. I guess I will just keep trying for now. Hopefully it it will work atleast once. I have the jig an that's how I got it to dl mode the first time.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775911
i have read all 23 of these pages, and im still stuck. but i want it back. nice to have a rooted phone for all the fun stuff!
lucky my main phone is a moto atrix. this phone was donated for experiments from a customer.

just keep trying.. If you have the jig and can get into download mode.. Keep trying. Try a different usb port, restart your computer.. close up odin and re-open it..

why did you make a jig before flashing? dont you know about the button combos?
dani forgot to mention have the phone plugged into the computer for his instructions.
few ways to try download mode:
from powered off, hold both volume buttons, plug usb into phone FROM PC
or
remove battery, plug usb into phone and pc, hold both buttons, put in battery
or
from powered off, put in jig.
or
just MAYBE>>> from soft brick screen, try adb command "adb reboot download" (adb setup guide in my sig) worth a shot.
what version of odin are you using? 1.0? use 1.82. it freezes less. and some people have been able to flash at the soft brick screen
ODIN3 v.1.82.zip

just for one small second i got the pc to know something was plugged in. but no drivers were found and then adb coudnt get to it. still stuck at phone!computer. i havent seen any other screen other than that yet.
its late so i will get at this again tomorrow. thank you for the help so far.

if you wouldnt mind sending it to someone adam outler may be able to flash it being it is not a hard brick. he has been able to get download mode with his uart/arduino setup. the method is far from complete or perfected but it is fairly safe for the phone.

heres what i get from adb. i should also say that i still dont hear my pc making a noise at anytime when i plug it in. normally anytime i plug something into a usb i hear it make a sound. is this bad or normal at this point?
i have tried all the key combos and jig. still stuck with the same screen. even when i use the jig i still get phone--!-- computer.

Definitely fixable with the jig! Best investment I ever made ..... after fidgeting with a home-made one from Radioshack.

Homemade jig or did you buy one? If it's homemade, you have to keep trying - it took me a half hour to touch the right contacts the first time ....
Jig should work - it shorts out the usb connection and forces download mode ....

go to ebay, search for "micro usb jig".

i already have a jig (homemade), thats how i got it to download mode instead of the looping. the last time i used the jig it still put it into phone--!--computer. i just searched ebay and found it, im gonna order one.
lucky my daily phone is a atrix, (soon to be a s2, LOVE the samoled) this is just a experiment phone so i can learn (donated by a loving customers pool). i now know a lot more than a did 2 days ago.

well, i guess i have got the jig working well now. i have got it back into dl mode. i should be good from here. thank you thank you guys!!!
all done!!!
re rooted and ready to screw something else up!!! how else will i learn?

it's great that you got your phone going... after a week of attempts with my home made jig, i finally ordered one fromm ebay. I'll attemtp to repair then and post results.
UPDATED!
I had forgotten about posting here, and my problem has been resolved. So here it is... I tried everything that I could find within this forum, almost. I built my own jig with inferior radio shack components that would not activate download mode, though it would turn the phone on. I got wise, spent 8 dollars at ebay and purchased a JIG there. Instant download mode after 3 days (shipping). Reflashed with one click, updated w/ kies, made kernal changes and am now rockin my captivate. Thanks to those who assisted.

Captivate doing some weird stuff. Need Help!

Well my phone was working great until a few days ago. I went on vacation and had the phone with me. It was very hot outside while i waited for my room to be ready. The battery was down to 6% by the time i got my room. I turned the phone off to charge it. When i plugged it in it turned back on so i unplugged it and turned it off again. I plugged it in again and it turned on again so this time i left it plugged in and turned it off. It did not go to charge mode or do anything. So i tried to turn it back on again but it would not turn on.
I left it for a few days and tried again but nothing. Now if i plug it in to charge and hold down the volume up and down keys with the power button i get the little white thing and then the battery icon then i let the buttons go and it starts to charge. Now once i get the battery icon and it charges i can now press the power button and it will turn on and run like there is nothing wrong! But as soon as i turn it off it will not turn back on unless i go through the same procedure of plugging it in holding the buttons etc.
It also will not connect to my computer or kies. Usb does not seem to work or even ask me how i want to mount it.
I bought it privately and its only 5 months old and still under Samsung's warranty but with it being rooted i have my doubts unless i can un root it.
Any help would be great!

I had the same issue. Mine was actually a battery defect. I would try that first. Worst case, you have an extra battery. And to answer your other question, yes you can unroot. There are various postings for this. If you need any help or have any other questions, feel free to pm me.

Hey Masterflash,
Thanks for the reply. Ill get a new battery and try that but i have tried a new one at bestbuy and it did not work either. It was not fully charged but it still should have worked. As for un rooting it if there is a way to do it without having to connect it to the computer could you let me know. I would like to un root it before i send it back to Samsung for warranty. I used SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse to root it.

If you are on stock then you can just remove the files that enble root:
adb shell
su
rm -r /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm -r /system/xbin/busybox
rm -r /system/bin/su

No im still rooted right now. I was trying to connect to the computer to un root but the computer does not see it and the phone does not go into mounted mode. I do have one click lag fix installed. Will the un root option in it un root my phone or do i have to un root with the SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse program i used to root the phone?

We i contacted Samsung and im sending in my phone to be checked over to see if they can determine whats wrong.
I got the phone unrooted but is there anything i should do to the phone before i send it in? Will there be any traces of the phone being rooted?
Thanks.

May want to reset phone to factory settings

Did you test it with a program or action that requires root to verify it is no longer rooted?
I would suggest to also reset it to factory settings at the very least.
(i.e., go to settings, privacy and factory data reset). Keep in mind if there are any files on the internal sd card, make sure you back them up and if you have an external microsd, dont forget to remove it before sending it off, I learned the hard way ).
If you really want to make it a bulletproof case, use the One-Click Odin to flash back to stock. Then after boot, re-connect and do a master clear. Finally, if you want, you then can update it to stock froyo via kies. I know that all drawn out and
possibly not all necessary, but it is good if you are nitpicky like me haha. At least then when they look at it, they have no other excuse as to why its not working.

Reply from Samsung Service! With pictures.
Well i got a reply back from Samsung repair. They said its not covered under warranty because its water damage to the USB plug. I just about lost it on them and told them the phone has never been wet or near water. They said it could be condensation on the connector going from cold to hot. I told them if that's the case then its a design flaw and should be covered under warranty.
I then asked for the Manager and she is going to look into it and get back to me on Friday.
Here are the pics of the USB the service people sent me showing water damage. If you cant see it then your like me! They said the contacts were all corroded and rusty. The phone is only 5 months old.

Samsung should replace it for you, it's a bad design. Sounds like they're just bs'n you with corrosion and rusty.
My phone is as new as yours and my usb connector is loose. It comes with wear and tear if you use it too much. So now I only charge via external battery charger and try to transfer via WIFI/BT or mSD card.
For a $5 fix, search for "captivate connector" on ebay for a replacement if you wish to diy and not go with the repair.

Thanks Stev3-o, I'm going to wait to see what the reply from Samsung's Manager on Friday is going to be regarding this issue.

Well after a lot of calls and going higher up the ladder at Samsung i got my phone fixed under warranty. So if you get told its not covered under warranty due to water damage fight it. I'm so happy to have my cappy back!
Oh one more thing. The company that repaired it, (Service Absolute in Quebec) sent my phone back to me in a bubble envelope!! Can you believe that. Talk about asking for trouble.

Galaxy Tab Back to Froyo STOCK from GB Stock

I think I've Bricked to completion now!
I have been using Overcome ROM and had issues with battery performance and other items. So I decided just to go to stock GB. Well I did and I thought to myself, why not get really good battery use and go back to Froyo. So I downloaded from samfirmware.com the JM2 ROM. Well, I did just that, using Odin 1.7 and it showed "PASS" in green. Normal pit file and reset partition checked.
Will not turn on at all and won't even go into "Download".
Besides the obvious "BRICK OF THE YEAR AWARD" replies, does anyone have any help they can lend?

I'm not the one with the answers, but I casually saw these two posts hours ago:
How to unbrick tabs:

This unlocks bootloaders so your SamFirmware.com rom won't brick you:

Thanks for the help, with the link you provided. I called the guy that I got my simple mobile phones from(and my tablet sim from, too) and he said he could fix it. So I left work immediately. Well after about 10 minutes, he said, "Here you go, the LCD screen is fried"
So I'm really bummed, but I'm also hopeful cause I can get a new LCD installed from ubreakifix.com. They are the same people that I got the new 3.5mm jack and repaired the Tablet, just about 30 days ago. So even though I'm bummed, cause I just got it fixed, I'm very hopeful that I can get it fixed, I just have to come up with some money for the part.

Can you try plugging it in the Computer and wait for while and see if anything shows up?
When i soft bricked my tab after a failed odin attempt it wouldn't turn on or nothing. I left it plugged into the computer, started to youtube a bit and after sometime pasted a phone and pc screen popped up.
Try it because if the lcd screen fried i would think the LED buttons would atleast light up if it was on.

Looks like you're not very lucky with your tab.
Then again you're lucky you have this kind of service (ubreakifix) in the States, coz we're stuck with the overly expensive regular services from companies like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and so on, and they not only fix nothing but also charge you for that. I wish there were alternative services like this here too.

Hey thanks you all! I'll attempt plugging the unit into the laptop tonight and pray something happens.
I've actually connected the unit to Odin and Odin recognizes the unit, by show the COM:0, but I'll try the laptop at home. This all failed at the office PC.

Yah try that first because if loading a new rom doesn't do anything then yah something else is wrong.
So atleast then you know its hardware not software. If odin recognized the phone then there is hope. There are times the tabs go into what's we call a coma state and it usually clears up by loading a new rom. So atleast odin sees it.
It took like 20min for my tab to turn on with that phone to pc screen. If nothing comes on but odin sees it...load the overcome gbsafe_v5 rom and if you get green light then wait for it to reboot

"use genuine battery" message

Hi there,
I've been using CM all the time, but now I decided to switch back to stock rom.
I installed everything properly but after boot up, I got the message "use genuine battery" and the phone shuts down.
Of course I am using my original battery that was in the package.
I tried without success:
- pressing PowerOn-button for 20 seconds when battery unplugged
- cleaning battery contacts with nail polisher
By googling I found this advise that shoud fix the problem:
Many LG Models have a common error of saying Use Genuine Battery then powering off. This is a very common and fixable issue. please understand that this method will most on most LG phones but does exclude the 8100 and older models, and the exact location of the items you'll be looking for in programming will vary model to model.
If you encounter this error you can attempt to correct the phone if you have another battery for the phone that will power the handset up.
Install the battery that is working
Type in: ##LGSERVICEMENU send (##5473784296368) on the dialpad.
enter the security code: 000000
locate: SW/HW Tests or HW test or SW/HW Versions
once you locate and select the correct field you need to find "bypass booting"
in this menu you need to locate fake battery mode select it and choose on.
Your LG will now work with any battery that fits into the phone.

I tried this and borrowed a battery from a friend. With this battery everthing worked fine. But unfortunately the service-menu as described by typing ##5473784296368 didnt work on my 4xHD. Instead I tried the hidden menu 3845#*880#. But there I wasn't able to find anything like "fake battery" or so.
Does anybody know where this menu point could be?
My phone is too old so I wont get a new battery from LG Service.
thanks in advance :good:

Did you SERIOUSLY just recommend that the OP simply wipe all partitions in order to fix a battery problem? Really? I guess he'd be so pi$$ed off at no longer having a phone which would boot that he would no longer notice the battery problem?
If this is the level of your advice to help people out then I suggest you stop bashing on your keyboard and find something else to do with your time instead.
And to top it all off you beg for thanks at the bottom of your post

thanks for all answers
of course I would have been aware of, that in case I'd wipe all partitions, I need to reflash recovery and rom.
But could this really fix the problem?
I even tried another baseband (v10h and v20a)

Just re-read your first post properly.
You have been using CM with no issues, but when you went back to Stock this started happening? What Stock have you gone back to? Given that, I'd be tempted to do a full KDZ reflash and see if that makes any difference as it's possible something has gone wrong when you've reflashed.
Although, if I read right, you used a friend's battery with no problems? Just buy an OEM battery from eBay and see if that fixes it.

pfffff..... that it's a problem, you should charge your battery with a phone battery charger device and when it's fully charged or 80% put the battery on the phone plug the usb on the phone press down volume button and plug the usb to your computer (you will need to have phone driver installed)
and flash the fw with kdz.
just give one more chance to your battery!

Fix Maybe?
Hello,
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but just for information in case anyone else comes over this issue and end up on this thread.
I found with my p880 that one of the battery prongs on the phone was bent in so that it didn't attach properly to the battery connection.
I got a pin and hooked it underneath, then pull the pin slightly out which brought it back in line with the others.
I then got cleaning alcohol, I used isopropyl, to clean all the contacts.
After doing this I found the error message went away and the phone works as it should.
Hope this helps someone else with the problem.
Regards,
Monkey
