Soft Brick - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hey guys,
I have soft bricked my 8.9. I've downloaded all the files to do a recovery, but when I open the Odin program and plug in the Tab, it won't recognize it. I've downloaded the driver several times, but it still does nothing when plugged in. Any ideas?

are you using windows?

Yes

Where did you get the driver?

From this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1406137

Tried a different usb port? Would it attach before you bricked it?

I've tried all the ports. This is the first time I've tried connecting since I rooted and unbricked last month.

[Q]Samsung Captivate bricked?

Recently, I was updating my new Captivate using Kies Mini and the update failed, I flashed a couple of ROMs using Odinoneclick and after a couple of tries, I ****ed up my phone, I got it to a point where it would go through a boot loop and eventually get to the GB rom I installed but even that barely worked. Now I finally got my phone into download mode (actually the screeen with the pic of the phone then the triangle then the computer) but my phone wont be detected by my laptop (as in no message pops up as I plug it in) so I can't do an Odin Oneclick to stock 2.1. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks in advance

If you installed Heimdall, Odin won't work on the same USB port. I assume you already tried deleting and reinstalling your drivers?
The only thing that worked for me when that happened before was using a different USB port and finaly flashed KK4 through Odin. If you have access to another pc, that would probably fix your connection problem as well (as long as that pc has the needed drivers).

Well then you don't have that many options left. If I were you, I'd keep trying to delete/reinstall drivers (of course, pc restart), swapping USB port and try both Odin and Heimdall (remember that Odin won't work on the same USB port as Heimwall installed his drivers on). Perhaps, using a different usb cable would work too. After that, the only thing I can think would be to use a different pc.
Sometime it's a mix of those things that will make it work, our cappys are quite capricious lol.

I made a 300k ohm jig and it worked but now when I try it, I think it puts the phone in Firmware error mode or whatever its called, or am I just doing it wrong
U r doing it right. That can be an alternate download mode.
U just got to get Odin or Heimdall to recoqnize it now, so u can flash a Stock firmware.
Have u tried using a different micro usb/usb cable to get Odin to see ur phone ? And usb port in the back of the pc, not a hub ?

It's a laptop and I've tried every USB port, and Idh any other cables
Ok...but if u can get ur hands on another cable, it would definately be worth a try, especially if all else is not working. I have personally see it and read it over and over that a different cable does the trick.

Is it most likely the cable?
Idk about most likely...but like i said, if u have exhausted all other means, then it is worth trying.
I personally found several at a Dollar Tree store over a year and a half ago. I use one of them all of the time instead of the one that came with the phone, because that samsung cable just stopped workin for me just outta the blue. It happens. One day a trustworthy cable and then one day not. And of all things, the cable i got for a $1 has worked great. :thumbup:

You can also try reinstalling LG usb drivers, using other cable or other computer with older/newer Windows

Huuum... I'm not sure if it is the same thing I have finally but I already got troubles with my phone being recognized so what I needed to do was to go to that S/W mode but without releasing the volume up button until a certain amount of time because if not, it would't detect my phone. I guess you can try the same ? It worth I try I guess. That's just not comfortable to keep your finger pressing the button lol.

everyone who got this "phone not being detected by pc".
it's a hardware problem.
mine is because I dropped it alot of times.

so go get your phone checked by expert:laugh:

[Q] Windows not recognising P7310

EDIT2:
Problem solved! The problem seemed to be with my computer, using a different one resolved the connectivity issues. The BSOD kept on poping up during the Odin flash. The tablet will show a screen saying te update went wrong en you have to connect to Kies. However, give it a factory reset and you will be able to boot normally. For me the blue screen popped up 4 times, the fifth time it worked. So I guess, just keep trying!
___EDIT1____
Ok, so I was finally able to get the tablet connected to a different computer. I tried flashing the stock ICS firmware via Odin, however I get a blue screen on my PC during the process. I am able to restart both my PC and the tablet, so I can also get into download mode. I have tried it 3 times, blue screen keeps on popping up.
What to do??
_____________
Hello all!
I've had lurked around here some months ago, learning how to root my tab and how to install a custom rom. Now that Samsung has finally come with their update (ICS ) I'm trying to install this update on my p7310. I have donwloaded the correct software from sammobile.com, however, my PC (Win 7) does not recognize the tab when connecting via USB, so I'm unable to use Odin. Win 7 shows the device status: ''Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)''.
I have tried re-installing Kies, have re-installed the drivers from this thread, have tried it on all the USB ports and have tried two different USB cables. I have tried it with both 'USB Debugging' turned on and off and have given it a reset/data wipe.
The tablet is able to charge normally via the wall charger and does charge when connected to the PC.
My tablet:
GT-P7310
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel-version: 2.6.36.4_motley_v3+ [email protected] #81 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 5 12:35:41 EDT 2012
Build number: IMM76D
Mod Version: aokp-b32-galaxiansoup-p5wifi
I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
Greetings,
Painore
Does Odin recognize the device? I've been able to flash thru odin even when the computer doesn't recognize the device. If the com port lights up in odin you should be ok.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately Odin also does not see my tablet.
My tab has been very tricky getting a computer to recognize it. Do you have another computer you can try. It works on my laptop but not my desktop.

Unfortunatly I haven't got a different computer available right now, I can try it tomorow at the university however.
Finally had to time to test on a different computer, it connects!
Ok, my fortune didn't last long. Blue screen pops up during Odin process. What to do?
What version of odin are you using? Use 1.85. I tried 3.07, don't remember exactly what the ver number is, it didn't work well for me.

Good! And good luck in the future.

[Q] How to reinstall touchwiz

Hi,
My galaxy S advance started showing some problems with USB port, like stop charging and not being recognized by PC. I attempted to fix it doing a factory reset and wiping cache. The problem was that I had uninstalled Touchwiz (backed up using titanium) because I had another launcher installed and when the initial setups is complete a message showing that com.android.setupwizard has stopped appears and alI that I can access is the notification bar.
I know that you'll tell me to reflash the original ROM with ODIN, but my usb port isn't working well and my pc doesn't recognize my GSA anymore.
How can I flash the rom or reinstall the touchwiz or another launcher to access my cellphone again?
Odin uses different drivers. So it will work as far as you don't physically damage the usb port.

My usb has a problem which after I disconnect it from a pc/charger it keeps showing that the cellphone is charging or is connected. When I plug it to my pc its shown that the USB had a malfunctioning and the device isn't recognized. There's some way to flash touchwiz using the stock recovery?

[Q] USB mode not working

Hey, been using this site for couple weeks now and loving all the roms you guys make but i'm having trouble getting my s5830 to connect through usb mode.
I'm running slimrom V3 and windows xp home edition, i've installed kies and all the drivers but when i open kies it just says connecting then gives an i/o error when i click on the new drive in my computer. Any ideas how i can get it working?
Kies won't detect your phone after root and after installing a custom rom. What happens when you plug you phone into the computer? Does your phone say in the notification bar USB connected

Yea it shows in the notification bar, i can turn usb mode on an off but when i click the new drive in my computer it either crashes or gives an i/o error.
The drivers should be set up already if not try and reinstall them again you might aswel delete Kies unless you have a stock phone, what are you trying to do?
