[Q] Screen will not wake up! - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm new to the Galaxy Tab, but I have a rooted and rom'd DroidX as well, so I'm not a total noob! I just installed the Overcome 2.0.0 rom last night. I followed the instructions exactly, I updated to the GB stock safe file, and then to the overcome rom through cwm. Everything works just fine with the tab as far as powering on, apps, etc.
However if I let the screen shut off and go black (sleep) for more than about 3 seconds, I can't get it to turn back on without holding the power button down and forcing it to reboot. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
EDIT.....restored stock GB through cwm, and reflashed = fixed.

1st of all , can add something to [Q] ???
second . maybe you do something wrong ? how you restore your backups ? did you try to re-flash again ?

Yeah, sorry about that, I was in a rush.
I didn't come from a backup. I flashed the stock GB through odin, then the Overcome through cwm. I didn't have any apps to restore, because I literally just got the tab.

[SOLVED] Help!!! BootLoop and no CWM

Hi Guys
I really hope someone can help me!
I've searched the forums and can't find anyone else with my problem.
I flashed ICS stunner and that was working fine.
Then I tried LiquidSmooth and eventually got that working fine.
Then I tried to go back to ICS Stunner and this is where my problems start.
I had some failed flashes with CWM and I think I've messed up the kernel.
I tried to sort this out by flashing back to pre-rooted GB rom so I could reinstall CF Kernel.
The flash in Odin appears to complete successfully, but afterwards phone just goes into bootloop at Samsung boot animation.
As I flashed back to pre-rooted stock rom I don't have recovery.
As far as I can find, to install a kernel I will need to either boot into android (which I can't due to bootloop) or install through CWM (which I can't as no longer have CWM)
Can anyone help?
Try factory reset from stock recovery.

Turn off your phone, press and hold the three following buttons together for more than 10 seconds: Volume up button + Home button + Power button
That is if you are having bootloops after flashing Gingerbread using PC Odin coming from ICS
Sorry, I know this post is really old, i have the exact same issue. I dont have a home button so what can i use instead of that? also when it try to boot into recovery it just shows the open android logo.

You do not have the same issue because here nobody spoke of a missing home button.
So: What do you mean? Your home button is broken? Or you do have a device without home button?
After this is clear we can start to analyze your problem.

Bricked Note

I have been searching for a solution, but haven't found any..
I flashed to kingdroid rom a while ago from stock GB with abyss kernel. Everything went fine, and later wanted to try a new rom.
So I wiped the data and factory reset in CWM and tried to restore the old stock GB. I don't know if anything went wrong in that process, but now I can't even turn on the phone? I can't boot up CWM either?

Can you enter download mode??If so flash any GB rom.If the flash is getting stuck at factoryfs or somewhere for long than 15 mins..you have superbricked your phone by doing a wipe.Only way is to replace the mobo or trying this
yeah go on download mode. Use odin pc. It will raise the counter, but its much better than a brick note.. Hehe
Download mode is volume down, home key and turn on key right?
Doesnt work.. how long is I supposed to hold it in?
And what is a MOBO?
Easy ... Don't Panic

The First Thing you did was right, since you did the wipe using the AbyssKernel kernel, witch was safe and away from the HardBrick Thing around the Stock ICS Kernel.
But what you did wrong, is that you did wipe and restore using the Kernel inside the rom you used, wich of course was in cause !!!! so Here is what you will do, just Follow the Steps in My following Post, and you are done

Glad to hear kimifender!
Sorry for not being that bright in all this.. But how can I do all the instructions when I can't turn the phone on? I can't find the sdcards on my computer either when i connect the phone to the computer
Sounds like you have a big paperweight. You need to somehow get it to a Samsung repair center to get the motherboard replaced. There's a thread in the General section that MIGHT help revive it, but no guarantees.
Always make sure you read, read, read before you flash anything. Like other people said, the restore is what bricked it.

He said he wiped after beeing on the other rom. So he wiped with an unsafe kernel.
=> Superbrick.
So there is no way I can revive my phone?
Maybe im just not turning it on the right way?

If you're pushing the power button, you are turning it on. If you are holding down volume up/down + power + home button you are trying to put it in download/recovery.
Sorry, but it sounds like it is a paperweight/brick.

Check battery. make sure it still has power. Pull out and leave out 5 minutes and replace it back as well.
Then turn it on and try to enter download mode (Home volume-down and power) and connect it to PC odin (even in case the screen does not turn on) and see the yellow box is there. If there is, you can flash kernel that has CWM as well, and there is hope to revive it.
If you cannot get odin to see it, then SS service is the only way.

Well Of course, If your phone is not ON, it won't show any usb storage on the PC.
Don't Give up Yet !!!
Are you sure your phone has enough battery charge,
Not Sure? well Do this :
- Keep your phone under AC Battery Charger (no USB charging) for at least 45 min.
- Take Off the Battery for at least 10s seconde,
put it back, Then try to to enter to download mode directly : Vol down + Power + Home Button at the same time untill you see the Yellow Dowload Logo, Don't Try to turn your phone on by Pressing the power Button as Normally, It Simply won't turn on !!
Keep taking the Battery Off and Back untill it works, believe me this happened before.
How much would it cost to get it fixed?
How much would a new motherboard cost?

Try what I told you in Post N°12,
If you get the chance to get into the download mode : then Follow My Post N°5.
You Have to Make sure your phone is really Dead, or just need a push to wake up again.
I swear this happened to me before, and believe me I'm no noob.
Just Try First. If it doesn't work, then Buy another one ;;;;
how i fixed it
Iám new as a member here but not new on reading here on this forum.
Want to post fast how i brickt my phone with ics and kernel problems and wipe going wrong.
Cwm still working but nothing is going anymore.
In cwm flash a franco kernel (i used Franco kernel 10 because had it on my sd card) then reboot into recovery and flash the Abys kernel.
Reboot into recovery and install your rom or restore an backup you made.
I hope sthis works for all.

[Q] facing problem with my note

Hello everybody
before i was using galaxy nexus .. so i have previous experience
yesterday i just rooted my note and everything working well
i was going to install CM10 but i read that i have to downgrade to GB so i followed a video
first problem: after downgrading and installing the rom as the video maker made .. i tried to boot the rom but it stucks at rocket bootloader for more that 20 minutes (i know for the first time it may takes long time to boot but not 20 minutes) i had a nap in this 20 minutes
second problem: i said that if it's not working i am going to install the stock kernal and run the CWM and install stock rom .. i just installed the kernal and rebooted then i was showing the text { galaxy note GT-N 7000 etc....) it was rebooting in the same screen of text .. i tried to get the recovery mode but i can't {volume up + Power button + Home button) but i can enter downloading mode (Volume down + Power button + Home button)
i need solution for the second problem and explain for my why the first problem was like that
my heart falls down in my stomach
Firstly,you can directly flash jb rom directly from ics..Its not necessary to downgrade to gb
And after downgrading to gb,you should have tried doing a factory reset
Now,again try flashing stock gb rom and if the process gets failed,then what is the error you get??

[Q] Freezing and black screen issues!

Hi,
I am using Galaxy Note N7000 for the past 1 year. (OFFICIAL ROM)
I am facing a strange issue since the day I bought this phone... The screen goes black suddenly (this could happen even if the phone is not touched for 3 to 4 hrs. Don't know why this happens) and freezes. If i press any button , the screen will not wake up. During this time, if someone calls me then I will not get any ring, but the other party who calls me gets the ring tone that my phone is ringing. The only way to bring up my phone is , i need to press the power button still the phone reboots.
I tried factory reset twice (both gui mode and the other with Volume UP+HOME+power button)
I tried Wipe cache memory many times.
Pls let me know .. how to get rid of this issue. Should I need to use some other rom. If so pls advice.
I am ready to do any thing to get this phone to work properly.
Regards,
Dennis
It could be a motherboard issue.
Ahh this is simple, this is when your phone just goes to sleep! This can be configured, by changing your kernel! if you're on stock this happens a lot! so Change your kernel it should help a lot! I prefer speedmod or C.O.H ! They may solve this issue! it's not a board issue, don't be worried! and try Good ROMS! not the stock!
Hit Thanks!
thanks

Can you pls let me know exact ROM, which I can use it for better performance. If possible help me with tutorial link too... As I am amateur with this flashing things.. I have seen some videos , but still don't have any hands-on experience.
THis is very simple brother! First you need to have a SD Card, and download Philz kernel and install via Recovery(Volume UP+ Home+ Power) and you need to be on jellybean then it is helpful! or to be on a safer side, download odin and flash the philz or speedmod odin files! they will get you CWM Recovery and Root!
But first I recommend using a kernel if that doesn't help! then Flash a ROM!
I gone through many links... and not able to clearly find what is the philz kernal.

Should I need to take backup and factory reset the phone before doing this activity. Later can I use Kies to restore the backup??

[Q] How do I save my (bricked?) phone? (after system wipe :( )

Here goes: in a stupidity attack, before installing a stock rom, I wiped everything but the external cared (YEAH, the SYSTEM too). I then flashed the rom, and it never installed (my phone got stuck on showing the "samsung galaxy s advance" for over half an hour).
(might be relevant: the phone was rooted, and had CoCore + TWRP installed)
What should I do? How do I get my phone back? Can it be saved? :crying:

Referring to that matter, the same thing has happened to me but even the stock GB is stuck on the Samsung logo. Also, it looks like a bootloop, it keeps restarting.

I closed my phone (took the battery out) and then pressed power-soundUp-button for recovery, and reached the recovery. I restored from a backup I had on my external card. If you don't have a backup, you can put stock rom on your external card (directly from your PC with a card reader dongle) and flash it.
The other option is to install a stock rom by downloading it to your phone through the computer with Odin. That means that you download Odin and stock rom. To do this you still need to take the battery out (to close the phone), put it back in, and then press power-soundDown-button to download (the difference here is sound-DOWN). Then work according to the tutorials about using Odin (don't forget to open the file as admin!).
Good luck!

Are you trying to do a factory reset/wipe data via stock recovery?
I think I have done this, yes. Do you think this was the reason for the bootloop?
However, I've now succsefully flashed Slimkat, it looks promising.
I hope I won't have to turn back to GB or JB in the future.
