{FIXED} take a look at this bricked galaxy tab, repairable? [FIXED]

basically i messed up the bootloaders now it does this (bear with me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkFsZK79XYQ
it only does this when plugged into the wall and it will not do anything if plugged into usb port on the pc, my guess now is the battery is so flat that it wont do a thing any more! i almost got it to run via odin on the pc but the battery drained so bad that it wont respond, i have left it plugged in for at least 6 hours with then just the same response just on and off on and off.
can i take the battery out and charge it via a separate charger to get some life into it to then flash the stock rom via odin?
any ideas would be great! i don't mind taking it apart but don't want to if i'm going to fry the battery i have all sorts of wall chargers, can i join the + and - from the wall charger to the correct wires on the battery for it to charge? i have a multimeter to test the batteries voltage. any suggestions?
[UPDATE 1 ] flashed overcome stock rom then pc wont connect to odin even in recovery mode, :recovery is stock: :rom is stock: from the overcome website, cant flash any rom via odin as it wotn connect, error message usb device not recognised' how to fix this issue? maybe update.zip via sdcard within stock recovery? which rom and for gt-p1000 united kingdom. i tried to reinstall samsung kies for the correct driver but still the same issue, cannot connect after flashing. i have been following this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 any help with connection would be great or flashing via recovery, almost unbricked but not quite.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet

Hello, I don't think that you have a dead battery. I think your rom has a defect cause your Tab would like to boot. Is it possible to go to recovery or to the download mode? Try to flash something. Does your Tab start this screen flash automaticly by plug on a PC od starts this only if you try to turn it on?
PS: It is possible to remove the battery but it is a little difficult. My suggestion: don't touch the Battery

will not go to download mode or recovery. no response when pushing power power button, all i get is the flashing screen with pc and mobile phone connection.

i left tab connected to the pc for one hour, the tab came on with the pc-phone connection image, i flashed overcome rom via odin with repartition which completed but when it went to reboot it has stayed turned off and wont come on at all even when pressing the power button, no download mode and no recovery, i will wait again for it to come on and try the stock rom, not sure if i've got the correct bootloaders or not.
any ideas?

Have you tried leaving it on the ac outlet? or car charger?

ok slight update. . .
i left it plugged into the pc after it passed the odin flash it then BOOTED i was like WWWAAAAAAHHHHOOOOO bouncing on my chair and feeling very happy indeed the battery is totally dead but is now charging in the wall switched off to get some life back into the battery im so pleased
next steps is to get the overcome rom to flash!

i tried for 6 hours to plug it directly into the wall but nothing worked.

Exact same thing happened to me on the Sprint Tab. Called Samsung and sent the unit in. They sent me a brand new unit the next week.

when plugged into my pc now i get an error message, ' usb device has not been recognised' im thinking its the drivers but not sure where to get them, i have searched.
i have updated the 1st post with more information on this issue.

Your tab was showing a secondary bootloader so if you mess up your primary bootloader with the bootloader patch it'll still be recoverable and as for getting overcome I would recommend upgrading to gingerbread which doesn't have protected bootloaders and flash kratos or Jupiter which are faster than the froyo based overcome rims ;-)

the only issue im having now is the fact that the pc wont recognise the android phone when in download mode.
the only message i get on the screen is 'usb device not recognised' i am then unable to flash a different rom or a stock rom via odin being gingerbread or froyo. thats why im asking if there is an update.zip file that i can flash from the recovery to make the usb mode work as it wont even work with debugging mode on or off and wont show via samsung kies or odin when the tab is booted.

my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet

good troubleshooting!!! I

[Q] [HELP] Galaxy note bricked

I was updating my galaxy note to ICS with ODIN3. And on the final, just stopped on HIDDEN.img and keep this way till my battery runs out. Now the phone only power on with download mode, and I cannot flash any rom with ODIN, I tried to flash the ICS from the chinese link, from the sammobile.com, and I also tried others stock roms. Or the same thing happens or just fail or finish without flashing the rom =/

if you can get into download mode you can flash a stock rom using odin

try flashing a stock kernal...or unsecure one..

In proper terms:
DONT PANIC. You're not bricked, just borked.
Pull the battery and leave it out for 5 minutes.
Put the battery in and plug the phone into a WALL CHARGER.
Allow it to charge for 2 hours MINIMUM. VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Especially if you let the battery die previously.
Put battery in and go into download mode.
Connect Odin to the phone. One you have the yellow box letting you know it's connected flash a STOCK ROM from here.
Profit.

Well, I'm not at home now. But I already tried to flash a stock rom, and nothing happens, it finishes with 0 instals and 0 errors or just stop on HIDDEN.img. And I use a universal battery charger on my battery

Then you are doing something wrong...
Swyped from a white note.

If it gets stuck at hidden then most probably you are using the wrong pit file as there are 2.. 1 for the 32gb and 1 for the 16gb..

Well, I didn't think about that !!!
On the ICS I downloaded, there was the pit for 32gb, but mine is 16. But I dont remember if I flash the pit. I'll try to flash the 16gb pit again !!!

I'm at almost same position. I have the same screen problem, phone not turning on after Samsung logo.
I'm trying to go into download mode, it says low battery. So, I try to charge it, but it's not charging at all. Tried a battery charger, didn't work as well.

Well, I used a universal battery charge to charge my battery.
I flash the pit 16gb alone, and then I tried do flash the rom and it just get stuck on setupconnection!!!

Well I fixed it.
I removed the sd card and the chip. Downloaded odin3 v.1.83 on 4shared (really easy to find it) because I read this on sammobile.com:
For those user that stuck at hidden.img,kindly proceed with Odin 1.83..100% guaranteed because i’ve try it and it works perfectly..thanks sammobile..
greghart_mirrus
and it work !!! *_*

I installed the ICS, but is full of bugs... So I installed the stock rom again (2.3.6) and its full of errors too =/

did you do a full wipe and cache clearing ?

Did u try to flash the rom with odin3 v1.83??? I did this and didnt stuck on the hidden.img. I flashed this rom http://www.mirorii.com/fichier/3/501208/I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK-tar.html

I am still stuck at same point. Trying to charge the battery with battery charger, and put it back, the phone says low battery can't get in download mode. I plug it into to wall charger it doesn't seem it's charging at all. I don't know what I'm supposed to do ? Should I buy new battery

Hi! I noticed you guys were having problems with ICS. CLICK HERE to check out my guide to get ICS working easily. You can flash the chainfire repack with the attached 16gb pit file (unzip it first) to get ICS. But I suggest you start with step 1 from the guide to get a stable baseband for your ICS.
PS. I have also attached ODIN v1.85.

Galaxy Note N7000 dead bricked

Hello to everyone and happy holidays.
I think i've dead bricked my note n7000.
I've tried to put an ics custom rom having windows 8 x64 and got a failed message and blue screen.
During trying to restore a stock gingerbread rom, i remained without battery.
When i put usb cable in the phone, nothing happens, in wall charger i get a yellow triangle with firmware upgrade failed.
When i try to enter into download mode "Battery too low. Cant download".
What can I do ? Please help me, because i tried a lot of solutions and nothing worked.
The only way is to get an external charger ? Or something like that ?
Thanks.

Your battery should load with wall charger. don't care about Triangle or so.
Wait until it's loaded, bring it to download mode an flash rom via Odin...

I left the phone into wall charger about 2-3 hours and nothing If i take out usb cable, no screen light

So maybe the battery is damaged. Sorry no idea. Looks like you need a service center.

Best regards.

You have a spare battery? You rascal.
Glad that you managed it. :thumbup:

[Q] Phone Stuck in boot loop - USB port broken

First of all, i'm new here, so if I make a mistake, no hate please.
So I was trying to install Xbean onto my Galaxy S GT-I9000.
This phone has a broken USB port, and as such, I had to root and flash Clockwordmod Recovery mod onto it without a computer. I managed to get into CWM Recovery and went to flash the Xbean.zip file I had on the internal SD card, and when I did, it lasted maybe 3 seconds, then turned off and back on. It's now hanging at the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" first boot screen. For some reason, the 3 button combo doesn't work for either recovery or download.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
P.s. I have already taken the battery out and placed it back in multiple times.

same here. I have a galaxy s I9000 with a broken usb port and I can get into download mode but no recovery. because of the usb port can not use odin. searched a lot but I could not find a solution. without odin it seems it is not possible to fix the phone. One repair center guy told me that there is a chip or something on the motherboard that regulates the usb connection. that thing is damaged because of imporperly charging. I have a bricked phone.(though I have still download mode)

both of u. if ur on GB. n u success to boot to recovery before da problem occur, u need to flash cm9 stable first to gain da cwm not direct custom ROM. then first flash will bootloop. juz take out battery, n use 3 combo button to go back to recovery again. its da matter of releasing da combo button. release it RIGHT AFTER u see da first bootsplash n wait. if failed. try again. n if it still fail. it means da kernel doesnt even flashed inside system.so u need to flash back to firmware using odin.
note: first flash will install cwm n kernel only as upgrading partition.
second flash will install da ROM.
try to boot to recovery again.

Usually the way to fix this would be to use the adb shell to force download mode, or using a USB jig to go back to stock. However neither of them would work because you have a broken USB port... :/

Again, best way to do this would be to use download mode and flash in a stock rom. Bu tif the USB port is broken... :/
I think the only thing you guys can do would be to get the USB port repaired somehow. Most methods (although do try @compacity's method, it may work) rely on the USB port and a USB connection.

was struggling with the same problem for 2 weeks until I had to give up and send it in.
In my case though, it was not like the support guy said a broken chip but abrasion of the connector in the middle of the USB Port. Obviously plugged it in too often.
Sent it to W-Support, they replaced the small plate in the middle of the connector and everything is working nicely again. So probably a piece of hope for you that maybe some support can still revive your phone. Unfortunately afaik there is no way to recover it w/o reflashing. Was within warranty so no clue what the price would be.
Some people are reporting that removing the battery for like one night made the bootloop disappear.. desperate times etc. wo why not give it a shot

As I said before donwload mode is ok but conection can not be done due to broken usb port (even after fixing the usb port two times). So I guess there is something wrong with the main board. Anyway thanks to all...May be if there is a way to boot from an external sd (like installing ubuntu from usb stick) if not I have dead phone....

[Q] no micro USB port? :/

i got a defective Galaxy S from my friend, he said that the usb port dont work, soo it wont charge on a normal charger
now, i bought a universal charger, so ill just charge the battery ( but then i was eager to boot it, i put it on 10mins later )
it wont boot, but when i put it on download mode, it does!
but how can i flash fresh firmware if the usb port aint working?
i believe it was on gingerbread
EDIT: is was working but, the micro usb port is not really working, soo what can i do to root it and install custom rom in it?
EDIT: Fvck, i bricked it, i installed a boot.img (from a custom rom) using mobile odin, it takes time to flash, about 10 mins, and nothing happened, i tried to put it on recovery and the're is no recovery, it kept on bootloop, deym, what can i do? i put it on download mode, but the micro usb port isnt working, so how can i flash it to stock again?
