[Q] - Can I unplug my Tab while in download mode? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If I'm in download mode and NOT doing anything, is it safe to unplug without turning off the Tab?
Example:
Plugged it in while in download mode
Didn't appear to be recognized
Want to unplug
Good to go?

You have permission to unplug

I know it was a dumb question, and I thought it would be ok - but better safe than sorry!

Odin wont recognize phone

My phone goes into download mode without doing anything. It can be plugged into the charger and it would go into dowonload mode, just the power button puts it into download mode too. I'm trying to flash it back to stock but odin would not recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the driver for my phone and it is not working. Help?

Maybe there's something that's blocking your volume keys.. Keep pressing and letting go of the volume keys till they feel better and then press the power to power on.. try it
Drivers
Where did you get your drivers from?
If you got them from the samsung website, then Odin won't see the phone.
You need to get them from this website.
Here's a link to a post that has the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
If you did get them from here, try to reinstall them.
If that doesn't work, then it's above my head.
So... never mentioned - was your phone ever recognized by your computer in the first place?

And if I leave the phone in download mode plugged into the computer, screen goes black, out of download mode and back into download mode every minute or so.
What i did was i downloaded the drivers restart the computer open odin then put phone in download mode plug it in

Is the icon you have a triangle with an android Guy and a shovel? If so try remove battery remove sim.remove SD. Insert bettery and go back into download mode and re odin..what phone also
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Is this the icon?
If the icon is the one connexion posted, then it should be fixed if you build a jig. A jig is essentially 300k worth of resistors. You can research more on this subforum to find out more information about it

yes, this is the icon!!
i will try with a jig, i hope this will help!
thanks a lot!
I had that icon after a soft brick trying to install GB, and my phone was actually in download mode. I opened Odin one click, plugged it in, and was able to flash back to stock. Then I got cocky and tried to install GB again, same symbol, different results. I was not able to save my phone until my jig arrived.
Moral of the story: phone!computer can sometimes be download mode, but not always, and keep a jig on hand just in case.
Sent from my Captivate running Cognition
I had that when trying to install GB the first time as well. Have you tried putting the phone into download mode via vol down/pwr?
If that doesnt work try holding vol up/vol down and plugging in the usb cable. While doing both the above mentioned and this make sure the phone is powered off first. Perform battery pull
If you can get it into download mode, use odin to flash back to stock jf6 and then retry. Best use would be odin oneclick search for it, its somewhere in here
if key combo does not work for you, the jig will help then ... try to build one yourself, or buy it on ebay (search for "micro usb jig").

[Q] Difficulty entering Download Mode

Hi,
I am trying to put my Galaxy S into download mode with the 3 key combo but all that happens is i see the Samsung Logo and screen goes blank and back to the Samsung logo and back to black, that's it, i also tried a battery pull and no difference, any help?
Okay i had adb and put the phone into download mode via adb, fixed it, lol
If your phone is still functional you can enter download mode by using a terminal emulator and type reboot download or via ADB.

i hope so...
try and post the result..
I've read a bunch of descriptions on the vulcan-deth-gripp to get into recovery/download.
And had my fair share of failures.. What NORMALY works for me, (my $.02)
1: Make certain that it's NOT pluged in
2: Make certain it's OFF (unplugg battery if necesary)
3: Push vol-down (for download) + home
4: Press power,
5: Release power (and keep the others pressed) once you get a short flash in the samsung logo (normaly 1-2 seconds)
Viola..
If you keep power pressed, it will trigger another reset sequence...
/PS
@ PhantomSage Sorry that method didnt work..
And for everyone who has had this issue or is facing this issue, the USB Jig Method works I made my own and walla i had the phone working...god i am so relived, thanks everyone for helping me out...usb jig worked like a charm, its god sent..

Is anyone willing to walk me through gettinig my device into download mode using adb? I am not a newbie, but it's been years since I've worked with adb and I have forgotten most of it.

after flashing, the phone does not power up. nothing.

i think it's my fault, but maybe i can do something to unbreak it?
here it goes.
i downloaded the latest build from this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575
when first i entered CWM and wiping everything, i try to flash the rom, but the installation aborted with 'error 7'
so i look for error 7 in google, and get into this video which explain how to bypass it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW1znjDLe-k
i did exactly what he said, and remove the assert till the ' ; '
after that i ziped it back and send it again to my phone, and again get into CWM.
the installation went OK.
it said so .
i did a reboot, but then the phone didn't power up.
he is very dead
is it final, or i can do something to revive it?
thanks!
Status 7 error is due to a corrupt rom file. Download the rom again, place it on sd card & flash again.

not working, because after i insert the battery, and start odin, it don't recognize any device that connected to the computer.
but, if i press the Volume UP + home + power, it install USB drivers of the phone, and in odin i see that it know that something is connected to the computer in: com 39.
but i cant flash the firmware, because it's stuck on setup connection...

Downloading mode is volume down+home+power & in doing this, you must see downloading written in yellow letters on your screen. Then you're good to go.

You have the right area so don't worry about that.
It looks like your phone is done for good, but let's try to salvage it. Follow the steps carefully to avoid messing it up even further.
1.Make sure your battery is charged. Use an universal charger or something similar to charge it if not.
2.Unplug your phone from your USB cable or charger.
3.Put the battery back inside but do not power it up yet.
4.Hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the HOME button. While holding both of them, press and hold the POWER button. You should be prompted with a DOWNLOADING message. If nothing shows, then it's dead.
5.If you are shown the message, then you can still make it work. Make sure you have all your USB Drivers installed. After that download ODIN.
6.Open ODIN and plug in your phone while it is still in DOWNLOAD mode.
7.If it recognizes it, follow the steps here and you should be done.

There is not much left to do. If there is a method of fixing this type of hard brick, the chances are very slim. You're better off sending the phone to Samsung Care.
