[Q] Tab won't go into download mode or recovery. - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in a bit of a pickle here.
Galaxy Tab (p1010) was stuck in a loop a while ago. I've tried to put the Tab into Download mode to flash a new firmware onto it but it doesnt work.
The tab, when plugged into mains just turns on, blank screen with back-light on and turns back off. It keeps doing this repetitively. If I hold down the Volume - button and the power button it goes into Download mode for about half a second and switches off again. The one or two times in which I've managed to get to Download mode doesn't last for more than 15 seconds which is not enough for it to download the firmware from Odin.
I've tried Volume + and Power button to get to recovery but no luck there either
I'm going to leave the tab on charge overnight but has anyone else had this problem before and found a solution to it??
Edit: NEVERMIND!!!!! In my stupidity I wasn't using the Samsung Mains plug to charge it so not enough power was going to the Tab. I managed to put the Samsung charger in, leave it for a couple of mins and managed to get to Download mode just fine. Tab is now reflashed and working fine

[Q] Brick..No screen, cannot turn on or download/recovery mode

Yesterday, I was flashing back to the JH6 again. It stuck at factory.rfs for a long time. Then, I tried to restart. After phone is off, it couldn't turn on any more. No matter, press vol down + power or press vol up and down then plug in usb with ODIN on. Or just press power button. I've tried the whole day even try to put on wall charger overnight. There is no battery screen during charge just for the reference.
It seems there is no way to bring it back other than jtag? anyone has any experience about this dead phone and bring it back to life?
Thanks.
Have you tried another battery? Just to make sure it didn't take a dump. It has been reported by very few that has happened.
Same thing happened to me it froze during the Factory.rfs so I turned it off and the phone wouldn't turn back on. I panicked and found somewhere else on these forums although I cannot find the thread again. What I did I just plugged my phone into the wall charger for a couple minutes with the battery. Then I unplugged it and took the battery out for a another minute then put the battery in and try to turn it on while holding the volume - or + I forgot, and if you start to see Orange Text being dumped to your screen chances are you can force it back into Download Mode. Just keep trying different button combos to get it working, unless I was extremely lucky but I do not think these phones can be bricked so easily.
Thanks. I did see the thread you mentioned and tried every way I can but not available. Fortunately, I got ATT warranty center to send me a replacement. However, the only catch is that I'm not sure if it's unlockable now since it might come with JH7. If that's the case, I'm gonna sell it and get other phone.

[Q] My Note Doesn't Turn On

Hi,
I've tried to flash my Galaxy Note to siyah kernel, and unfortunately it got bricked. It was turning on, however after samsung logo showing up, it was showing distorted colors and lines.
I've bought a jig, it showed the download mode screen for a second and turned off. I wanted to charge it, charging suddenly stopped, and started to not turn on.
I've bought a battery charger, charged the battery overnight, still not turning on.
I'm in USA and I got my phone via Expansys-usa, what shall I do ?
Can you get to Download Mode screen now that it's charged? Press Volume Down + Home Button + Power simultaneously (Power button the last) and tell us if you can boot into Download Mode.
If you can, I'll walk you through to getting your Note alive and kicking again.
Unfortunately, I can not get any signal of life from my phone. I can not get to Download Mode screen neither with jig, nor with pressing 3 buttons. I guess I'll have to send it back.

It seems to be your only option if you cannot get your Note to boot into Download mode. My commiserations, mate.
try to charge for 20-30 mins your phone, maybe your phone battery discharged and thats why you cant go in download mode ;D

Pull out the battery and put back after 20-30 secs. Then try download mode normally pressing hardware buttons, otherwise use JIG.
Nope, it doesn't charge at all. I've tried every method again, nothing seems to work.

Did you manage to get it to go into download mode again? I am in the same situation.
It says, low battery can't get into download mode. Since it doesn't charge I'm going to buy another battery and battery charger and will try again.
You could also try an external battery charger, this would be a cheaper solution.
Very sorry for you, but where did you got siyah kernel for note...
Did you flash the one for galaxy s2?
Dont worry ur phone working it just no sound and no lights, screen off......but he can see odin.....go and try 30 times.....(download mode >>>odin)
Take the damn battery out.
Wait 7 sec
Put it back.
Press Volume Down + Home Button + Power* ( Your screen will be off !)
Connect to the PC odin and it will be sound witch is mean your phone connected to odin)
Do it., and dont tell me you cant
Yep, I've used the one for GS2. I've got a new charger with a battery and now can get into download mode. Odin recognizes it, however I don't remember which Stock Rom the phone came with. Which one I should go for ?

dead TM-810 or signs of life?

I was messing around a bit the other night with the build.prop trying to get a bit more performance out of the tablet, then rebooted - and it appears to be barely hanging onto life now - it will not boot, I can't get into recovery mode, can't get into safe mode, and I can't get into download mode. Since it is not powering up - the computer, ODIN, or ADB are unable to find it.
when the battery of totally dead, and I plug it on - the battery charging thing pops up, with a 0Q% percent battery - and it will charge at that point - I tried to boot it once it was around 20%, and the Samsung logo popped up like it was going to start, and then everything went dead again.
I have on the tablet:
TWRP Recovery
rooted
cyanogenmod 13 with nightly builds
Things have been working great for the past 5 months, up until this issue.
So I don't know at this point if I am deal with a bad battery issue (Not holding enough charge to boot the tablet) or a software / hardware issue - or it is all software problems with the build.prop
I have talking to a person that does JTAG, and he did not think it was a software issue - he was kind of leaning towards it being a power issue - just based on the battery going from 20% down to 0% with the tablet not even turned on - and that it would not help things to have it JTAGED.
so some though - what could it be? and how do I go about getting the tablet up and working again.
The battery thing does make some sense - but to have it happen right when I making changes, and the reboot - is strange.
I am using the original charger, and the original cord.
FIXED
Hopefully this will be of some to you guys out their with your phone or tablet stuck on the Samsung logo - after the tablet sitting overnight on the logo - I started playing around, and found that by pressing the home button and volume down for about 5 minutes, it would shut the screen off, but only for about a second - but if during that second, if you released all the buttons, and did the home, volume down and power, if will reboot into download mode - took several tries to get everything done that quick, but it is possible, and that's how I got the tablet up and working again.

If you hold Home, Vol down and Power for about ten seconds, it should reboot the tablet. As soon as the green screen appears, release the buttons and press Vol up, and you should be in download mode. Or, better yet, if you have TWRP installed, hold Home, Vol Down and power and as soon as the screen turns black, switch from Vol down to Vol up and when the Samsung logo appears, release the power button. That should put you in TWRP where you can restore a backup.

Not really I somehow made it makingt it starting by disconecting battery cable and when connecting battery again on the board it starts without pushing power button . While started pushed volume button and made it in download mode but after a few seconds exits download mode and turns off .

SM-G920C refuses to do anything other than bootloop when plugged in.

I reflashed the stock firmware on my phone after it was throwing some errors on boot, and once it got to the Updating... screen it changed to Erasing... and was stuck for over an hour before I did a force shutdown. After that it entered download mode one time (in which I did not do anything with odin) and now:
Turns on and gets stuck on the Note5 splash screen when plugged in or put on a charging pad, force shutdown works in this state.
No change to the above when holding vol+ and - or any other button combo before charging
Power button does nothing outside force shutdown, it will not boot off the charger when holding it nor do recovery or download mode shortcuts work
None of this changes after running flat and recharging
The buttons were all functional before, so I am guessing they still work. Have I hard bricked it?
