Another "bricked Galaxy Tab" thread :( - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people,
I have just got a Galaxy Tab just for kicks. It's a P1000L brazilian one.
I want to unbrand it (it's Claro branded, the operator took out Gmail and Gtalk, also assigned search to Yahoo instead of Google), so I have talked to a friend which also has a Galaxy Tab, same model, but unbranded, all Google apps inside.
My FW is (or was ) P1000LVJJJ4, and his FW is P1000LVJJM9, so I went to this thread at TheGalaxyTabForum, downloaded the P1000LVJJM9 FW, PIT file and ODIN 1.3.
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/112-samsung-galaxy-tab-firmware-list/
I have read about the process and started doing it. Here's what happened.
I haven't checked the partition option, just put the PIT file and the FW file in the correct fields, put my Tab in download mode, clicked start... and after some time, almost at the end, ODIN failed. My Tab got stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. I got it disconnected from the USB cable, than put it again. Restarted the process, but ODIN got stuck in setup connection.
I took my Tab off the usb cable again, it was still stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. Pressed the power button for a while, it has turned off completely. Now it's bricked, maybe dead. No life signal, nothing happens when I press any button or button combination, nothing is shown when connected to the charger or USB, not recognized in KIES and ODIN, nothing at all.
Is there any hope for me? What can I do to solve this?

i have the same problem, did u get any solution???

Hmm, if nothing happens on screen at all either when you plug it in or hold the power button, that's very bad...
Otherwise, I think the most you can do is either let it charge for I think a few hours and then see what happens

volume down + power
Tab will not respond but plug it in the pc anyway, odin will normally recognize it even without the "android shoveling" screen.

[Q] Foryo 2.2 problem

The odin doesnt work for me
It goes really fast and my phone never restarts.
My phone just stays on the downloading screen.
Am i using the right odin if not can any tell me where it is?
i got mine from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
You have to start up Odin then plug in your phone while powered off, then using the button combos, vol up and down and power buttons held down at the same time when the battery charging icon flashes off for the second time release only the power button, within a few seconds you should see the download screen and Odin should see your phone, then hit start. The process should take about ten minutes, from the time Odin starts, your phone reboots and scans media.
Sounds like you had your phone in download mode before starting Odin. That is the correct Odin, check to see if Odin sees your phone forst by starting Odin and then while the phone is powered on plug it in. If Odin dosen't recognize your phone, you need the correct drivers found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989.

Yellow Exclamation Mark!

When I try to boot my galaxy tab I get into a pc - exclamation mark - phone image!!
I read some who solved the problem by flashing an image with odin by entering the download mode!
The problem is that I can't enter the download mode!
When I connect the tab into the pc it won't turn on at all... Not even the exclamation mark image appears!!
When I charge it by connecting it to a power source the tab shows the image for seconds, turns off for seconds, shows the image again, turn off again etc...
Please help!!
Please search before posting.
But power off, press home+vol down+power until that screen comes up, connect to Odin and reflash your rom with the p1-hidden.pit and youll be fine.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
I know, the problem is that I can't load into this mode when the tab is connected to PC... It just turns off and never turns on again until I plug it in a power source...
Then charge it for a while then try.
Ive had the issue with the exclamation mark, but when you press the buttons to enter download it does enter it, but the picture never changes. You just have to repartition your device and reflash.
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
Charged it for hours, still can't get into the exclamation mark screen when plugged out from the power source...
And I still wonder why does it turn on and off intermittently every few seconds while charging?!
Any ideas?!
Wont it stay on reguardless of how you try to power up?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |
The picture won't change. Here's how:
1. Put it into download mode by pressing the volume down + power buttons together. Again, the picture WON'T change.
2. I used Heimdall for this, but I don't know if Odin will work. Anyway, load the Roto JMI-V2 ROM into your tab. I used this rom because it bypassed the fact that my tab's bootloader was still locked. Here's the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
3. Wait for it and it'll load.
The reason why you got that is because you have a locked bootloader. If you are using a GSM Tab, then use the "patch bootloader" app by Chainfire and Rotohammer in the forums. Here's the patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
I hope your Tab will work.
Edit: You should post questions in the Q&A Sub-forum btw.
When plugged to a power source, it stays on
When plugged out, it never turns on whatever I press, not even the exclamation mark page appears...

It is like the buttons of the tab are not functioning

I had the same issue - Ive trying to root locked kernel and got yellow exclamation mark.
Follows the advice here I am sucessfully restored tab.
Tips:
Powering tab with volume down indeed turning the tab into download mode even if display shows exclamation mark. Just check if ODIN see the device.
Flash Gingerbread stock rom (follow the istructions from thread).
Dont wipe the data folder.
Install root just after flash.
Install titanium backup, backup all apps
Boot into recovery mode and wipe data dir/factory restore.
I understand all this. The problem is that the tab doesn't power on, not even the exclamation mark page appears, unless it is connected to a power source!!
Whenever it is plugged out, the screen goes off!!

Don't tell me that you exhausted your battery... O_O
It sounds like your battery is dead and won't hold a charge. Plug your cable into a powered usb port on your laptop, and operate the buttons on the tab to get into download mode, start odin, then flash.
I had exactly the some problem after bad flash.
Battery is not charging from charger and will be without charge by now.
If you connect to computer nothing will happen and Odin will not recognise it.
To fix the problem connect Tab to computer and leave it for a while (at least 20min). Now Odin should see it. Leave it connected a bit longer to get some more charge in to battery. Flash using Odin again. Hopefuly it will be OK this time.
I had something like this after screwing around with different roms.
I left it plugged in to the PC for a good while (could have been up to an hour) and eventually an image came on the screen of a phone - yellow exclamation mark in triangle - a pc. This made the phone show up in odin (so it seems it was some sort of back up download mode). At this point though flashing the kernal kept failing so I took it to the store, *****ed about how the phone crashed after an update and didn't leave til they gave me a replacement (after having a go at the manager).
Hopefully if you can get into this "alternative" download mode someone can help you from there.
Same issue of " alternative download mode", even when I'm lucky enough to have the screen show up while my tab is plugged into the usb the computer doesn't recognize that anything is there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Samsung drivers, rebooted my comp, tried every usb port, tried kies, tried with sdcard in and out, but neither odin, heimdall, nor win7 can detect any USB device exists. I also have an Epic and haven't had any issues with it. Running out of ideas so anything would be helpful.
*update* as tho anyone wereon the edge of their seat... I was able to get my PC to recognize my tab after uninstalling samsung drvrs and reinstalling then shutting down, restarted while tab charged via wall socket, then plugged it into front usb and voila about 15 min later I hear windows alert me that a connection was made and its searching/installing drivers. From their I flashed Sprint firmware w/o modem and it finally stuck. Then had to go back to work. Next I need the modem bc I couldn't get heimdall to flash the firmware from the sprint flasher package. Said it couldn't find device or something

[Q] Soft Brick issue

Hi,
First time working with a samsung phone, so im not very used to some samsung realted soft.
I'm doing a favor to a friend, he came to this problem where his phone woudnt boot up, He says one day he run out of battery and coudl never turn it on again.
when i turn it on, it gets stucked at boot image (first attached image), if i try to charge the battery image appears but with the loading logo (the loading logo is not moving), he told me that he also tried with another battery and the same appeared.
For what i've read there is a download mode besides recovery mode. I think i have no problem entering download mode (3rd pic), even though i don't know how to use it, pressing a button does nothing, and pluggin it to a pc (drivers installed it) seems the same.
So i wanted to enter recovery mode, and trying o factory reset it, but when i try to enter most of times nothing happens, the others i get weird screen like the one i attached.
I'm not pretty sure how to preceed now. The only thing that appears to be working is the download mode. If that's the case, how can i flahs the stock firmware on it?
Thanks for reading!

You would do the same thing as if it were custom firmware, goto http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and download the stock firmware compatible with the device
Enter the device in download mode and flash the stock firmware with Odin
Instructions by SamMobile self:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minute

thanks for the reply, i think i might be doing something wrong, ODIN failed, i attach a screenshot, any idea?
I cannot tell much from the screenshot to be honest, all i can point at would be a newer version of Odin as the instructions told: [LINK TO ODIN 3.09]

Same error as before
im downloading some other firmwares to try, but i dont think there is the problem :s
I've been having this issue for months now. It does that exact thing. Try removing the SIM card and starting the phone as normal and see what happens. If it starts then, we have the exact problem. Mine works perfectly WITHOUT the SIM card but....what's a phone without a SIM card right? I've tried putting the Stock ROM on to no avail as well. I think my thread about this is still somewhere around but I doubt anyone managed to solve the problem either.
If you do work something out post it back. Sorry I couldn't be much help.

HELP! Bootloop, restart continuosly, and download mode can't detected on my PC

Hi there, i want to ask some help to you. This is very sucks for me, when i need to communicate with my family and my friends, my phone was had a probelm. First probelm is my phone was bootloop, it was booted just until "Samsung Galaxy S III Mini" logo. Second probelm, after that bootloop, my phone was restarted and go back again to boot logo, and then restart again and go back again to boot logo, again and again continuosly until my battery was drain down. And the last probelm, after i found that probelm then i try to flash my phone to newest version firmware, when my phone enter to download mode and try to connected to my PC, it not recognized with my PC, indeed there's no notification that the device is not recognized (normally if you connect the device to PC and not recognized, will show notification "USB Not Recognized"). I try to connect again on Windows 7 (My PC was dual-booted Windows 10 and Windows 7), there's no changed, still not recognize and not showing notification. And then, an hour ago before i posted this post, i try to connect and flashing in my friends PC, but still not recognized. I think there's no probelm with my USB cable, when i use to charging, it still working.
And then i really really really need your solution, PLEASE help me, i dont have much money to repair my phone because i just have IDR 10000 (converted to USD is just $0,95) and my guarantee is expired. Soon i will face the National Exam and i dont want lost my focus to that. I hope i can get the best solution quickly. Thanks for your attention, sorry for my badly english. :crying::crying:

just a little side note....where did u get windows 10.......good luck with the phone
Hi whith model s3mimi you have i8190x or 8200? If 8190 do that:
1.Download drivers and Odin from novafusion.pl/downloads, there is section s3mini->extras and heres Drivers and Odin.
Download stock rom from sammobile or samsung-firmware for your specific model and location.
2.Install drivers, next unzip to any location Odin and downloaded rom, but in the same place both.
3.Take out battery and put in the phone, then push Vol- Home Power buttons until you see Download mode, then clik Vol+ to enter it.
4.Open Odin and select PDA and find unpacked stock rom then connect phone to usb. Make sure that ONLY Auto Reboot*and*F.Reset Time are selected.
Your pc find drivers and Odin show to you in first box in left corner info about port:comX, nevermind what number of Com but you must see info about Com port. Its important.
5.Pull button Start and wait few minutes. On finish your phone restart, you dont need to disconnect from pc. Now wait 5-8min, in this time you see only logo samsung and thats all. After logo you see configuration panel and voila.
If not see configuration screen after 8min, pull out batt, put in, go to recovery by Vol+ Home Power Buttons and clean cache, next do factory reset. Now might be work, but after restart you still wait max 8min until see configuration screen.
