Tried to install CWM from market as Galaxy Tab 10.1. The tab is bricked, if you choose to boot into recovery you will get sutck in an endless loop of reboots. With a little effort and connecting the tab to a PC you can get back to the choice menu and enter download mode.
You have been warned!

Thanks, downloading now from: http://www.samsung-firmware.de/pxxx_62889641.html
This is the netload folder for the wi-fi version: http://netfolder.in/folder.php?folder_id=VgnYQ90 and the password: samsung-stuff.de
Samfirmware uses awful slow hosts lately.
Just got it today and I really got scared as the boot menu didn't show up anymore (the sammy logo did appear but it was followed by immediate shutdown) I was starting to think I got myself a hard brick
Got it from Amazon.fr, sorry I won't be able to share my firmware anymore...

Be careful. Sometimes it clears your SD card as well (depending on what exactly you're doing).
To be safe, make a backup of you SD card on your computer.
Only flashed the bootloader from that pack, seems to work!
... more or less. Trying to boot into recovery will restart the tabled, trying to do so from the CWM app will bring you back to the reboot loop...

Sweet bro.
Sure wished I'd seen this message last night.....
Well, now to see if I can fix mine.

Thanks for finding this trick. I applied it but I moved from soft brick to what I thought was hard brick. Leaving it on the charger for a half hour as I took the dogs for a walk "woke the dead".

A hard brick is when nothing shows up no matter what. Screen stays black no matter what you do, power button doesnt work, you cant get into any recovery or bootloader or anything..
I was a little iffy to install it...so glad I didn't. Had some issues with it on my GS2..pfft
i think i have bricked mine new P 7500
but there is nothing wrong i did with this device
tab is now in only conecting in APX
NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
no sign of charging and no light on display
is there any way to recover it back??????????
this is semi or hard bricked?????
How? this thread is meant for the 8.9 tabs...
This topic should be a sticky!
Anyway too late for me, just trying to work out what brick I have. Basically I done the above too but I'm trying to work out what type of brick I've got. I cannot see a charge light when put on charge. I can get to an option for recovery or download but can't get to recovery. I just get a bootloop of powering on as far as the samsung logo before shutting down, or at least the screen going black. I've never connected to computer yet but I think I've found the files I need should it be a soft brick. Any help in getting me through this would be appreciated.

Trapped myself in this lobster pot too. Probably hold the record for purchase to soft brick in 10 hrs!
there is a link in second post from op which has the roms and the flashing software (Odin)eunfortunately they only had a 7310 rom when I looked. You need a 7300 rom for your phone to work. Please read as many forums as you can on this first. I ended up flashing an Asian image just to get back on my feet, then ended up flashing overcome and over clocking which works very well. Wish you luck!
same
same thing happened to me .I should of looked here before trying a backup. Used Odin to install this and its all good, and 3.2. megaupload.com/?d=0KYNVV4Z
FYI, I was stupid yesterday and allowed ROM manager to update my recovery partition (it told me there was an update available). Of course the update was for a Tab 10.1 and soft bricked my tab (it went into a boot loop). I recovered by going into download mode and using odin to flash only Tab 8.9 clockwork recovery image.
So, if anyone else bricks their tab by using an incompatible recovery, you should be able to recover back to where you were by just flashing a compatible recovery instead of using a full odin ROM.
So i've had a CM9 Beta 1 build on my phone, it was running like a charm past week, so while surfing around internet i've found a flashable zip that makes your status bar look like Jellybean (Specified it works with CM9 Beta 1!) and i've got stuck in recovery bootloop like the last time.
I've tried various way's, one of those was to reflash the ROM or flash a stock ROM from Odin, and it keeped getting stuck on stage VerifyPlatform...
So i've found a thread that fixes all of this mess with a .bat file for computer, and after using it my phone actually died.
I can't turn it on, it's all black..
I think i'm seriously lost...
I'm hoping for exact help that could fix it, not an maybe, i seriously need help! ;(

i9000 use hummingbird chip .. can use usb jig or if detect as sp5c110, can use unbrickable mod software to revive it (if not detect then have to do hw mod)
i9001 use different chip ie msm8255t .. try the button combination or usb jig to get into download mode. If it detect as qusb_load something then there might still have chance. If still nothing I'm afraid only jtag/riffbox can help.
I once bricked a Galaxy W i8150 (msm8255t) because of wrong bootloader flashed. Usb jig don't work. Had to use riffbox to revive it.
Yeah if jig doesn't work then u gotta replace the jtag

Ok, so firstly, my USB port burnt out the day after I call HTC and ask them to collect my phone to repair the screen -_- (Bad Karma, God is punishing me? You choose)
I can return to stock ROM by sending the ROM over using Airdroid but how can I get back to stock recovery, I didn't make a nandroid backup right after flashing the recovery, could I just drop the recovery.img in dev/block/nandg or is there another way, please help, they are picking my device up on monday, just remembered I also need to relock my bootloader.

Impossible without usb and adb, though you could try using adb wireless over a shared wifi connection but i doubt fastboot works wireless. Here is an app for it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sherdle.adbwireless.
Nope don't trust wireless Usb
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Yeah I already thought of wireless ADB, one method I'm thinking of is creating a flashable zip of the RUU and putting onto my sdcard root and loading the bootloader and hoping it recognises it and starts to install, if I do that, I go back to stock everything including recovery I believe
I wouldn't trust that...it's 2013 find a computer

Obviously you didn't read the OP properly, my USB port is BURNT OUT, as in it's blackened, and smells like burning
I've got a similar problem. I have a 2 month old Sprint HTC One, running Stock Plus Goodies v1.10. Had no problems until a week ago. All of a sudden the usb port doesn't work. The only way to charge is to connect the charger and then reboot, which then puts the phone into car mode for some reason, but at least I can charge. Can't connect to pc no matter what I do. The guy at the Sprint store I bought from is a douche, and I know he won't even look at it with it rooted, unlocked, etc., even though the problem is obviously physically with the usb port (isn't it?). Did you find a solution to this problem? For now this is just a minor irritant, but if it gets worse I'm afraid I'll have a non-removable battery in a phone that doesn't charge, aka a $600 paperweight. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!
imboots42 , i have the exaclty same issue as you, something makes me weird,I'm from the debate if physical damage or software, it is worth mentioning that I Use revone for S-OFF my htc one m7, and since renove is a early alpha version can corrupt any partition with usb stuff like drivers or something like this.

Recently purchased a Galaxy S3 Mini from Verizon, was pretty excited about the aspect of rooting and installing custom roms.
Only problem is that I can't seem to find a single thread/video/(anything) that is able to root the version of the phone that I have.
Every thread I search for is either for the normal S3, or only unlocks the S3 mini if it's running 4.1.1 or 4.1.2, but my phone is running 4.2.2.
I read somewhere that Verizon has blocks in place set to stop rooting from happening, but 1.) I'm sure someone has found a way around this and 2.) I'm not sure whether it's true or not.
If anyone wants to know:
Model Number: SM-G730V
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Version: JDQ39.G730VVRUAMI9
Android Version: 4.2.2
Not sure what other information might be needed, though I'm more than happy to answer any and all questions that might get me (and possibly others, if they're having the same issue) some help.
My fiancée is in the same boat

Yes, please do :good:
I'm pretty sure it will work. It's the same phone, just from another carrier.
So I looked into the method tys0n posted, and it led me to a Chinese root method called VRoot.
http://www.mgyun.com/vroot
It's a one-click method, and installed it's own SU on the phone, but I'm installing root-only apps at the moment to check whether it's actually rooted or not.
This thread has pictures explaining what the all-Chinese app is doing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459910&highlight=one+click
root worked for me!!!! Now does anyone know of any ROMS that are compatible?
The Chinese 1 click root worked for me as well. After the reboot, I installed SuperSU and root explorer. SuperSu prompted me to allow it to uninstall the chinese su so I allowed it. I updated the binary without issue and have titanium backup running and uninstalled some verizon apps and froze some other things. Freed up some RAM and it already seems to be a bit snappier. Not that it was really that bad to begin with.
Wouldn't we need to have a custom recovery to be able to flash any ROM's? I never bothered to try any with my Note II since it ran so smoothly but on my dx2 prior to that, we needed the custom recovery.
I am also in the same predicament with a Verizon S3 Mini (SM-G730V). I was hoping to install maclaws 4.4 on it but apparently that is only for the GSM model, I8190. I would be very interested to hear if anyone is able to get this running on the G730V.

For SM-G730V, to get to diag mode is ##DMMODE# or *#0808#
If you had flash Samsung before, then you will not get any problem from this one.

First off -- My friend Joe bricked his phone, not me; I'm just the poor schmuck trying to help him fix it.
What happened?
Joe lacks the terminology to adequately explain what went wrong, but I believe I've narrowed it down to two possibilities:
The phone was undergoing a system update and he restarted it before it completed, or it ran out of batteries
The phone completed the update normally, but the update was bad and the rom is corrupt now
The phone is completely stock (what a shame?) and is now boot looping. We can get the phone into "hard reset mode" and "hardware key control mode" using the methods described here. Unfortunately we cannot get the phone into "download mode" or "recovery mode" (which sounds similar to the poor Ukrainian dude a few threads up).
We did try running the factory reset, but unsurprisingly, it's still boot looping. Hopefully that wasn't a bad idea . . .
What I've looked at thus far
Reflashing stock? I doubt this would work, because how could I get the phone to take the file?

Stock boot and recovery, but same problem: how do I get it to take the files?

The new flash tool (not the offline method) should do it
---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------
If it was updating to kitkat 4.4.2 then you won't have a download mode to go into. And I'm not sure if the LG flash tool can do anything if it's not in download mode. But it's worth a shot. But if the phone is bone stick no root then have your friend return it to T-Mobile under warranty. For $5 they will send another one out overnight FedEx and he'll have to put his bad one in the box the new one comes in to return it. Warranty replacement.
Take it to T-Mobile. There is no fix for that. I spent 2 days working on the same issue with no success. Fortunately lg fixed it for me (I assume haven't received it back yet)
try a forced shutdown
Thanks mattwheat and kintwofan!
I had Joe stop by the T-mobile store today. Apparently they'd given him a hard time over the phone, but were far more polite in person. They said they'd have a replacement in tomorrow.
