The title says it all, almost.
The skinny: took the sim out, rebooted, put sim in, rebooted.... problem. Now the tab sits at an unpowered screen and no button combo gets it to recovery or download.
Plug to computer and I get a message repeatedly to format the drive, and then remounts to the same message, forever.... :wtf:
Look in dev manager and all I see is the modem remounting.
No adb, no Odin, can't get anywhere.
Not really expecting a fix, just wanna see if there is one.
If my tab be borked, I'm in need of advice for another tablet.

Sounds bricked. Did you have a custom Rom? I had a i957 running cm10 that bricked right in the middle of connecting to a wifi. Don't know if it was just a coincidence or what but it didn't happen during our after a flash where you could expect a brick. I had the same symptoms as you do. I did have it repaired under warranty. The fix was software, Samsung was pretty vague. My guess is jtag would repair yours if it's out of warranty.

+1 to the jtag IF u have exhausted yourself trying to fix. Not bad to fix for $30 vice tossing it. Just try all manner of holding buttons for extended periods of time with and without power plugged in. Sometimes you catch a break.
Anybody able to point me to where I could get a jtag?

Check out mobiletechvideos. You'll probably have to to call them to see if they can do the i957. If they can't they might know someone who can.

I wonder if a usb jig for a couple bucks on ebay will at least get you to the bootloader to explore other options.
*if they make them for samsung 30 pin connector
going thru the same exact problems the OP has. in for results.

My i957 is defined as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
He wore a black screen. Tell me how to restore the boot loader
You can't. You're hard bricked. Jtag or warranty are your only options.

THIS REPAIR IS NOT MEANT FOR HARD BRICKED GALAXY TAB 8.9 DEVICES. IF YOUR TABLET WON'T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF POWER AND THE SCREEN IS BLACK DO NOT ORDER THIS AS THE SOLUTION ISN'T HERE FOR THAT ISSUE YET. IF THE TABLET DOES SHOW SIGNS OF POWER BUT JUST WONT BOOT OR YOUR AT THE EMERGENCY SCREEN THEN THIS REPAIR WILL WORK.

Shows mtp initialization then mtp connected. And the battery shows an x it does seem to charge when shutdown. But never shows fully charged. Anyone have this problem?

Any update on this? I'm having the same problem, stock kernal. Don't really want to start flashing things.
sammobile.com has your firmware.
something with the tab or the charger is making it think that it is plugged into the usb and not the wall charger, and since USB charging is disabled in the kernel, you are out of luck there.
Im having this issue on i957 on latest Rogers rom. Using a generic cable as my used tab didnt come with stock one. It doesnt indicate its charging but it does verrrry slowly.
Simple answer is likely to get a stock cable but im just waiting for my 7.7 to get here and ill try that stock cable.
Wonder if this app would work. USE AT OWN RISK. Will probably only work on the i957.

Im pretty sure my issue is a combo of something i installed and removed/still have or the fact none of my wall plugs for the generic usb cable put out more than 1.0A. I say it could be something i installed or an issue with the rom because when i hold the power button a few short seconds i get no power menu but it restarts.
May try that app tomorrow though so thanks for that. Really just wasting time since ill have to wipe everything to start fresh for cm10.
It appears my camera LED stopped working. Does anyone know how to test it? I've tried a flashlight app but nothing happens.any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda app-developers app
Did you try taking a picture or video with the light on in the settings? I also went into the hidden menu and did the Camera Test. That also should show you if the flash is working or not.
To access hidden menu you need to dial 3845#*925# or you can create a shortcut with Anycut.
Have you tried rebooting? That happened to me once when I was out and about and a reboot did the trick

If you know how to solder, you could always solder a new one on.

Sometimes while using my tablet, the screen suddenly "shifts" out of place: http://imgur.com/a/94hr8 Sometimes it also gets "corrupted": http://imgur.com/yErJp.jpg The tablet works normally when this happens, and it responds to touch at the correct position(i.e. touch doesn't change). It doesn't show up on screenshots. I haven't noticed it being "linked" to anything specific, and it's always done it. Turning the screen off and on again returns it to normal. Why does this happen? Is it solveable? I've tried googling around but nothing.
Thank you.

maybe you can post more details on your device

It is completely stock 3.2, only rooted with a zip I flashed from stock recovery. I'm pretty sure it did that before rooting, though.

It sounds hardware related and nothing you'll be able to resolve. Are you still under warranty? If you are I'd take it in.

I have a HTC Desire C and when i connect to the computer, it installs the drivers and recognizes the device. However, the screen, buttons etc do not work on phone. I want to root this and install a new kernel, as i think that might fix the problem, but i have no way of enabling ADB. Is there anything i can do?

No. There is never any repsonse, no screen no buttons no vibrate no backlight on buttons. But it shows up when connected and installs drivers, so there must be something!

Not to be a jerk but this should have been posted in Q&A section. But anyhow it sounds lije your proximity sensor may be bad. Open your phone app and press menu button to access settings if you cant figure it out I would just backup all the data with Kies 3 or whatever and do a factory reset

Haven't tried a reset, bbut download this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tigermonster.proxfinder and am getting readings for 0 and 8cm (no intermediate) as well as time covered.
So not really sure what to do next. Reset might be only way.

Try this:
Go to- Settings

Turn off screen during calls.
There should be a check next to it. Try turning it off & on again.
Be aware things change if you're using bluetooth...
Hope this helps.

That sounds like your case was blocking the proximity sensor on the front of your device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using xda app-developers app
Yup thats what i discovered. It doesnt directly block it but the presence of the case close to the sensor must be creating some confusing for it.
