My galaxy tab is bricked and cannot boot in download mode no matter what

I accidentally bricked my galaxy tab when I try to install Overcome Ware and I accidentally unplug the usb cable in the middle of the progress. I cannot boot into downloading mode no matter how hard I try. My tab only show a phone icon, an exclamation mark and a pc. Does my tab brick forever or what? Can you help me out. I'm very appreciate your help. Thank you so much for reading my thread.

That mode is also one type of download mode. Flash a stock rom like roto jmi with repartition.

i was DL new ROM to and my pc died and brickedmy P1000 and i can only see the phone ! PC sign if i have it plugged into electricity and ODIN doesnt recognize it if i plug it in to intall official 2.3.3.
what should i do?

I bricked my tab while flashing many times.
Try this:
1. Turn off your Tab then turn on.
2. Run Odin and connect to PC (Odin will not recognise it but its OK).
3. Just install the .PIT file (It'll be installed).
4. Your Tab will restart and you'll see "SAMSUNG".
5. Now goto download mode and install PDA,CSC or whatever else you want.
Done !

If u have warranty,claim it at Sammy service center telling them nothing about ur flashing business.
If not,read these threads and try one by one.

@IcedCube
What u told could have been told in a gentler way,couldn't it?
It seems that u have acquired ur Tab only yesterday and here u r giving ur "Valuable 2 cents" at a newbie.
BTW, our tab cannot be Hard bricked that easily and even PC-triangle-Device screen as well as a Blank screen also r Download modes for our Tab.

After a bad/stupid ODIN flash my tab now only shows the "Samsung galaxy tab" for 1 sec and turns of again.
I do think i some how i flash a wrong ROM to the device.
And to make things even more bad, my volume down button do NOT work.
So i guess my only solution is a RIFF JTAG solution... anyone here had success with this solution ??

If it still fires up, no need for that. Just start Odin, plug in the Tab and start it up. If Odin recognises it, you're on the safe side. But first get the Overcome GB-restock v5 and have it ready for a new 'blind' flash.

Overcome GB-restock v5 have been downloaded and ready for flashing.
But i am very sure that my TAB is hardbricked, because it ONLY shows the samsung logo for max 1 sec and the turnes off. And as mentioned my volume down button do NOT work
And i have tried to have it connected to the pc with ODIN up and running while i turn it on for that second but odin do not see it and it is off again before you can blink...
So JTAG service is the solution i think.. Just wish there was someone in London that did that.

Hmmm, weird... as long as the Samsung logo appears it's not bricked. Maybe the Google SDK can help then. It's including very basic ADB support, which should give you a way to connect the PC and your phone.
If not, sorry and good luck

Thanks for the help and now i will go out on the big world wide web and see if can learn about Google SDK and basic ADB support..
And when that is done lets hope it will be on long enough to receive and execute an command like this one: adb reboot download or something like that..
If no go there i will send it it of for JTAG

Mkay learning done:
And it all points to JTAG.
Because adb do not find the device, and i think that is becuase it turns it selv off verry quickly.
Command:

If the phone's bootloader is still intact, that is you see at least the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo or the "PC !

You can make this jig using a micro USB plug and a resistor.

As I said before as long as there's a lifeform on screen, it's still not bricked. Anyway, the method described to build a 'fix' also means you don't need buttons to press. The problem for the Tab will be to find an USB-to-microUSB adapter that will plug into the Tab's cable. Once that hurdle taken, you'll be in Download mode and on your way to Odin's Wizardry...
Cheers,

"i Have Odin ready with all the files selected and ready to push tha button"

My Galaxy tab (Korean Made) GT P1000 "GOON TOO SOON"
Hello;
I used Odin to mistakenly flashed my Samsung galaxy tab GT1000 with wrong firmware; I end-up with black screen no boot. Odin was able to detect the device after 3 times; after the third flash Odin can not detect the device any more. all efforts proved abortive in other to connect the device back. If I power the device it will show flash light and on with no display on the screen after 5 seconds the light will off but the device will still ON with blank screen I can not get my device to download mode even if I try to it will still power up in blank screen. so please what is your advice on this mess?
Thanks.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy s

I think that i may of fully bricked my Galaxy s
I cant get into download mode or recovery
I have tried getting into download mode with a usb jig
Also my phone wont even turn on
Is there anything that i can do to make my galaxy s i9000 work again
I DONT want to have to get it repaired

hi dude did u tried to charge the battery
---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
if u did use jtag usb to active download mode and flash u re phone using odin
try to flash u re phone using a laptob if it s possible
hope u re phone wake up

Galaxy s
I have tried charging the battery and it didnt work
Tryed getting into download mode by using 3 button combo and a usb jig
I cannot flash with odin because i cannot get odin to recognize my phone due to the fact that it cant get into download mode
Cheers for ur help so far

Try getting a charged battery from someone else? maybe your battery is flat

Galaxy s
tried using a fully charged battery and it still didnt work

how did you do that? I mean, I thought it was nearly impossible to hard brick an Android Smartphone..

What did you try to do? More details would help pinpoint the issue properly.

i done all of this by updating my galaxy s by odin i then accidentilly removed the cable and now my phone is fully bricked. Samsung just say that it is impossible to brick it. They just speak a load of bull****

From what he said on YouTube:
He pulled the wire, accidentally, whilst he was on ODIN flashing back to stock rom...
I have suggested:
-Getting battery out + 3 button combo
-Trying to get into download mode
-Trying a JIG (which he got)
-Trying to get into recovery
I've run out of things to suggest...if anyone else knows more, then please post it for him :/
I'm just surprised the JIG doesn't work.

Which firmware did you flash? Did they have bootloaders?

@dhiru1602 i want to know if there is any methods that u know of that could help me get into download mode or just getting my phone working. I cannot do anything with my phone. I am thinking of sending it in for repair but that will only happen if there is no way of getting my phone to work

@dhiru1602 i flash back to jpx
Cheers totallydubbed for ur help so far
Can u check ur inbox on youtube plz

Answer these questions.
Which firmware were you on?
Which firmware did you flash?
When did the flashing stop? At the very start or sometime during the process?
Are you sure your battery has some charge?
It might be possible that the phone functions but display isn't coming. Have you tried the key combination and checking if the computer recognizes the phone?

Galaxy s
1. i was on Jp6(Froyo)
2. I flashed Jpx
3. The flashing stopped about half way during the process
4. Yes the battery is fully charged
5. How do u do the key combination to see if odin recognizes it ( if u mean the three button combo to get into download mode then Yes)

If the phone is being recognized by the computer then why dont you try a reflash?

Galaxy s
the problem is that i cant get my phone to be recognized by the computer

Repair
I have finally given in so I decided to send it in for repair. Thanks for it help anyway

well good luck my man.
Remember flashing is a learning curve, don't take it as bad or anything. it happens to everyone once in a while.
Just remember when in download mode you do not want to do the following:
-Disconnect it
-Have a power cut
USUALLY, a JIG solves issues, even if you had the above two - in your case it didn't

The only thing that I could think of is the bootloader getting corrupt due to which the Download Mode doesn't work.

Brand new phone
I have just got my phone back which was great. it wasnt covered by manufacture warranty but they still done it for free. However they couldnt fix the phone so they gave me a brand new Galaxy s!
Cheers for ur help anyway though

Do you have your phone restarted in download mode? (turn your phone off and restart it by holding volume down, home and power button at the same time)
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? (i can't post links yet but if you search for "Samsung Galaxy Mini USB drivers" on Google you'll find it, if you don't, just download Kies, the drivers are included)

maybe because it's a different handset?

It really isn't, it's the same S5570 with a Qualcomm MSM 7227 as the Mini.
Same everything else too.
Even if it wasn't, Odin wouldn't care, it'd detect it anyway. Odin will let you flash anything even remotely compatible, that is why you have to be careful about what you flash, you will get no warnings and you can mess up and brick your phone.
I just restored a Mini flashed to a Fit rom using Odin for both the mistake and the fix.

If you use cwm of galaxy mini on galaxy mini plus it may brick your phone..as both are different...
Swyped from my first Android device....!

- Make sure you have kies or samsung usb driver
- Make sure your usb cable is working
- Make sure your usb port is not damaged (working)
- Make sure your odin is virus-free
- Open odin
- Boot your device to download mode ( volume key down + home + power key )
- Connect to your PC
That should do it...
Hope it helped...

Naaa.. it doesn't help a bit .. the real problem is, odin cannot detect the phone, alredy installed all the driver, test the cable, test the connection .. you name it everything, still not success... Or, maybe odin did not support Galaxy Pop Plus ? ( S5570i )

i wish it'll help !!

So, you actually have the yellow triangle and the yellow text below it that says "downloading..." and when connected to your PC you get a notification of how it's connected but Odin won't recognize it?
Well, that's just not possible, it really isn't possible.
Just get some WD40 into the connector, retry and you should be fine, yes my friends, sometimes the best solution is in the garage.

Odin most definetly supports galaxy pop plus, it's the same as any mini but with a newer core, the rest is absolutely the exact same, i have even reviewed the chip codings.
If Odin doesn't recognize it, Kies won't either because both use the exact same method, Odin being a leaked Samsung application and all.
Try better when you're trolling, because this is just daft.

The Galaxy Pop Plus sports 832MHz over 600mhz

hope it won't brick the phone just like a lot of people with minis who brick their's coz of ROM manager..

No CWM
Actually, there is no permanent CWM in galaxy pop plus or sgy which you can flash through odin.
Instead, you can root it and flash temporary CWM from stock recovery. If you want permanent CWM, flash a kernel which has it built in like cyanus.

Pop plus not similar to mini
The galaxy pop plus is not similar in hardware to galaxy mini. It is more similar to galaxy y s5360 in hardware except for camera quality. sgy roms work for pop plus, but galaxy mini roms brick pop plus

[i9000b] BSOD - Phone ! Computer Screen

I had Android 4.0.3 (IceCream Sandwich) on my Galaxy S GT-I9000B (I did install it through Odin, nothing went wrong), but is was laggish (too much for it to handle, I think) and after a few months, I decided to roll it back to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread).
I started the process to install the firmware through Odin3 v1.85 - the file I download (from sammobile.com/firmware, had only one file that I used on the PDA space.
Odin recognized my phone and I started to install it, but after a while my phone was stuck on the downloading screen (2 hours of installation, I tought that something went wrong).
I then turned my phone off to try and install again, but when I turned it on, there were a Phone - exclamation mark - Computer Symbol.
I can get it to dowlonad mode (Volume Down+Home+Power), but when I plug it to the pc, it says "unknown device" and it can't find drivers for it.
I think I have the latest drivers from Samsung (I had from Kies and I re-downloaded a file somewhere from this forum named SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_1_5_6_0.exe).
It appears that since windows can't install the drivers, Odin doesn't recognize the device - it was recognizing it before, when I was installing the firmware.
Now I'm stuck - I tried anything I saw in this forum and in other places - I did even pray for a miracle, but it didn't work
I know that there must be a way, but I don't know how.
Before I forget, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

If you can get it in download mode everything should be fine, I've had a problem like this, my pc couldn't see the phone in download no matter what. Try to use another USB port, better another PC. Also I've heard that x64 doesn't get along well with Odin. If possible you can try Linux and Heimdall, after all Android is Linux too.

Ok, k4Z3666, has given you a starting point...the phone is still in download mode but without a booting ROM, so its OK, the problem is your PC, USB cable or USB port. If you want to be quick about it, just try on a lap top..if not a simple Reboot of PC ( after removing power cord) and Phone (after a battery Pull), and a switch to a different USB port at the back of PC can solve this for some...for other solutions try these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 anything else you may need can be found on My Android collections., link below

I tried other USB Ports and also rebooting. It was working just fine - it seems like a driver problem to me.
My notebook is dead, but I'll try using someone else computer.
Does Odin runs in Windows XP? I might try it in my virtual box - I doubt that it will work, but it is the best thing I have to do untill tomorrow.

I got it working in my mother's notebook - should I try something different? I only have the PDA, should I try a PIT?
I don't know what those do, but I read somewhere that PIT is used to recover bricked phones.
EDIT: I installed only the PDA, it worked fine on the 2nd time (first time, it got stuck but I could make it work changing the usb port and cable).
Now it is on loop - it repeats the samsung logo over and over again. Any ideas now?

Yep if u want to back to stock u need pit file because ICS use different system file
Why u don't like ICS ? Its way better and faster than sammy ROM even its more stable , I think u should try it again with devil kernel with oc to 1.2 it will fly u can add some live oc which will give more fluidity

ICS wasn't faster here - it was laggish and always crashed some common apps (gallery, music player). I believe that the firmware wasn't completely "done" as it was being adapted from another version (my phone is brazilian) and some functionalities that it has (i.e. digital TV) wasn't available.
What I done to correct the boot was simple (I found a tutorial in a brazilian site, so it had all the roms that I needed).
1) Used a PIT and a stock rom to get it back to factory version;
2) Upgraded to Froyo (original) - That was kind of a mistake, the tutorial said to do it because then KIES would update it automatically to Gingerbread. The phone was fully functional, but KIES said that it couldn't update it (it recognized the phone and everything).
The tutorial stoped there, but since I had the ROM, I used Odin to install Gingerbread (the one that was looping) and it was done.
Now I need to remember how to root it because there are some dumb apps who can't get away (i.e. Orkut app, some demo games).
Thank you all for the help!

From recovery you can always try to flash another kernel, that would probably resolve things too. Anyways the problem's solved, glad to help

[Q] Bricked after Kies Update

HI, i´ve search, but just want to confirm if is there any other option, to revive my ace.
I´ve uptdate tne mobile with kies, at middle it stoped, and just display " donload" at the scren , after the error on kies, it power off and boot only to blank screen, nothing more.
Using the " jigKik" , it will whork?
Many thx.
Samsung Ace s5830

Just see if you are able to go to the DOWNLOAD MODE.
If you can then you can easily flash your firmware through ODIN

When the phone is off, press Home + Power + Volume Down and hold.
If 'downloading' appears, you can flash a stock ROM and revive your ace.

Try a newer version of Odin if your odin in outdated

Many thx for the help, but no way, the video and the odin don´t work.
The video have the link´s broken,can not get the OPS file.
The odin i´ve tried :
-odin multi downloader v4.38
-Odin Multi Downloader v4.42
The problem is the same, do not pass the setup connection...
Maybe is the OPS file??
I´m desperate, the phone was perfect , try to update and lost the phone
Thx for all the help.

Just to make sure, did you get the yellow "downloading...." word on screen before using the Odin. Because you say the phone is blank when using the Odin.

Have you closed all kies.exe processes? I read somewhere that you can unplug and re-plug the usb when it stuck on "setup connection", but I'm not sure 'cause I didn't tried.
