Blackscreen 4 Ever - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a Problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab Wifi
Nothing works... cant get in downloadmode, cant get in recovery mode... cant get in System.. nothing... Screen is black if i hit Key Combos like downloadmode or recovery or just powerbutton... after 10 sec the screnn is kinda lighter... but then turn off again... nothing... dead...
any help???
Possiblte to reset it kinda? back to somethin?
Any bootloader fixer??? please help!!!!

It would be helpful to know how your tab got that way - what did you do to it?
If you did nothing, then you should make sure it's 100% recharged, from the home power, not a laptop, using the stock charger, for at least four hours.

The sympton you explain looks like your battery is already out of juice. Its die i think. Yeah, try charge it for 4 hour and see how.

RootMe2Heaven, you probably flashed a wrong firmware version on your device. I had my sch-i800 like this but i managed to solve it.
First thing, as already told here, charge it for about 4 hours.
Second, put your usb cable in the device and try to turn it on until your pc recognizes it.
Third, if your pc is recognizing your device, try to boot again but in download mode and flash a stock firmware from samfirmware.com
If you can't make your pc recognize the device in any way, when connected via usb, then you probably have a hard brick that needs a riff box to ressurrect.
The most important is to make your pc connect to device via usb, after that is just a matter of flashing the correct firmware.

Oh yaa..what firmware are you? Did you flash with custom rom? What did the last thing you do before this problem happen?? Maybe some info could help this community to assist you.

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

help bricked phone

Hi everyone. Im not normally in this section as i have an x8 but my friend has seen all the roms,mods and updates ive done so he tried to do it to his galaxy s i9000 without rooting or unlocking his bootloader. I asked him what he did he said he just tried to update software with keis but now it wont turn on just white screen with a red triangle in the middle i hope its download mode as i dont have a galaxy i dont really no but the battery has died and it wont charge im guessing hes damaged the bootloader am i right and if so whats the best corse of action to tepair it. Thanks.
You can check if it is in download mode by pluggin it in pc with odin. See the wiki page what it says about soft brick.
Soft-Bricked
After flashing a rom you might not be able to enter the Download Mode by pressing Volume Down + Home + Power. In this case a so called 'JIG' would be helpfull.
You could build it on your own: [HOWTO] [REF] Get Download Mode without 3-button combo using homemade JIG
... or buy a preassembled one on a well known marketplace.Hint: There is no difference between a JIG for Samsung S/S2 or S-Plus.
See if you can go into d0wnload mode with vol down home and power. If that works go and try to find the stock firmware for the phone and download and extract. Download odin and put csc pda and phone/modem in there rightful places. 512 pit in pit section. Pit usually comes with odin download. If not find it somewhere. Repartition checked and hit start. It should reboot when done. It will problaby take a couple of min to boot but be patient. If it starts to go into boot loop put back into download mode again and reflash. Its very hard to mess up the phone to where you cant fix it. So relax and watch tuts or whatever helps you best. I know of a link i that i will find and post for you when i do.

DEAD bricked phone
So, my friend's phone (hopefully she'll stay my friend after this) was turning itself on and off all on it's own. So I (no good deed goes unpunished) suggested that I will upgrade her firmware for her. She had 2.3.3 firmware. I downloaded the odin1.7 as well as a package of all the info for 2.3.5 firmware upgrade. I flashed the phone- originally only using the PDA option with a file called: CODE_I9000XXJVS_CL565837_REV03_user_low_ship
It worked, the phone restarted and showed the firmware as being 2.3.5.
I don't know why, but I thought it would be a good idea to update the CSC and the pit and the modem as well- so I did that. when this was finished - though odin said that the flashing was successful the phone is completely unresponsive. The computer doesn't recognize it, it doesn't show any signs of life at all- like it's in the dark ages and there is no electricity in it.
HELP!!!
First question: do you think a jig will work? how dangerous is it?
second question: is there any other option to try that I haven't come across other than changing the motherboard, and if there isn't do you know where I can get one, bear in mind I live in Israel.
Please e-mail me a copy of the response to [email protected] if you can...
Odin dosnt pick it up atall plus the batteries dead aswell now and the stupid thing wont charge so i cant evan try any thing till i find away or some one to charge it but thanks for the tips.

Try to recharge the battery from other phone or use another battery.
Check whether you have the download mode working. (Home+Power+Volume down)
If yes, put phone in download mode and flash Darky RE or any other Rom via ODIN. Try to get the recovery mod after rooting and then try ROMs.
Or try restarting the phone it may work without update also. Long press power in download mode restarts the phone. However be careful.
What is the status of the device can you go to download mode
Post your firmware files name and how you choose in the odin flasher.
Dont try anything crazy you will bricked your device more:banghead:

Alternate way to Download mode
Hi gavster26
I have been there with a buddy's phone... not a nice place.
Found a link showing this other trick ... but you have to trial and error this one on the different combos:
1. Phone off
2. USB cable pluged in
3. Odin running
4. Down (or Up - test both) Volume button + Home button + plug in the USB cable.
This booted my dead "bricked" phone into download mode.
Try it.

You're definitely not hard bricked since your phone still does something when it's plugged in -- so there's hope. Keep trying your homemade jig and see if that works eventually (it's very frustrating trust me). USB combos don't work for download mode?

[BRICKED AGAIN !] Black screen, no bootscreen, no detection

Yesterday after unbricked my note from lpy brick (for the 5th time), I tried to flash a stock rom with a pit file (found somewhere on xda, special 16gb pit file for restoring bricked device) but the flash stuck at the begginning so I unplugged it.
Now my phone is unable to go in Download mode, recovery mode neither normal mode.

I tried to put it in charge all the night but now the problem is still here.
Any help appreciated

ur phone still ok but u need do manually ...
1st-take out ur battery
2nd-put it back
3rd-Put your Galaxy Note into download mode by holding down Volume Down, Center button, and Power button together for about 10 seconds.
after that press volume up , then connect ur device to odin , flash new fresh rom without pit file
Your phone seems to be totally unresponsive; that sounds like the ultimate hard brick to me.
Take it to the nearest service centre.
USB jig
Did you try putting your phone to download using USB jig ? There are many articles relating to that . Sometimes the phone may not charged when its bricked . So get it charged from somewhere else , or may be from your friend who has note and try using USB jig . It might work , no guarantee , try your luck , else be ready to spend almost half what you paid for your phone to change the motherboard !

I don't think that the problem is battery, It was 55% yesterday evening, but I haven't friend with a Gnote
I haven't a JIG but I will try to make one if I can find a 300K resistor
Can I find a 300K resistor into a old none working device ? (Like a old radio, tv, telecommand ?)

similar type of brick....and the suggestion given by the SSC is better to buy a new mobile since they have to replace the main board....(without warranty)..and cost will be around (Dhs.1150) that is almost half the price of new mobile....
btw i have tried jig also but no luck...
I have the same problem with my galaxy note.
i treid everything no reaction
pls has somebody an idea for me ?
Same problem with me.
Weird, I had a I91000 for a year, flashed everything and never had any problems. Never got close to bricking it.
I did this:
Rooted it with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719 - OK
Ran again CWM.
I put the latest nightly from CM9. When I started flashing it, it hung. I turned off my cell (no other option, it was stuck), now it won't turn on.
Whoa... What did I do wrong? I admit I was anxious and didn't take the proper care I should've, I was very anxious, but, wow... I wasn't expecting it to be so easily brickable.
Do I have any hope left?

Sam S10 bricked when PC switched off while flashing by Odin

Hi guys,
I was flashing my S10 by Odin, using USB-C connector which is also charging the laptop.. (why didnt use the second one I idiot??)
Odin sudently stoped flashing, stuck maybe on 90% and I was waiting more then hour, but flashing did not succesful, if laptop discharged the battery and switched off.
Samsung is totaly dead, I tried everything like get to recovery mode, Odin mode, leave the battery fully discharged, unplug and replug battery... No any sign of life. PC doesn't see it..
It seems there is nothing I can do for unbrick it, but maybe YOU know some trick that may rescue my phone...?
Is it possible that some box as Octoplus or some like that will be working for my problem?
Many thanks for any idea, Regards, Tomas.
HI there, i had this once with another older Samsung, i think S5. It does charge, eventhough it does not look like it.
Keep in connected for an hour or so, and then immdediatley try to put it into download mode.... Ie Switch on, while holding VOL DOWN and Bixby.... The PC should recognise it, so you can reflash via ODIN.
Oh yes, and use your wallcharger, not plugged in via PC as its not fast charging**
Thanks, will try it and let you know..
