So I have a S5830D, and it's been working fine for the past while. It's rooted and I have this ROM on it. It was working fine, and I haven't removed any apps or installed anything for a while, but I noticed that when I tried charging it, my phone wouldn't respond to the charger(it wouldn't show as charging). Using a new outlet, and trying to charge it from my computer via USB didn't work either, so I tried turning it off, but now I can't turn it back on. I get no response at all. No Samsung logo or anything. Is my phone bricked, or is there something wrong with the hardware?
Would this work for a 5830D, or is there something else I can try to unbrick it, if it is bricked?
EDIT:I can put it into emergency download mode, and RAM DUMP ARM9?
EDIT2: Managed to turn it back on, it seems like the battery drained, and I wasn't able to charge it through my stock charger. Had to connect it to my PC for a few minutes. However, now I can only charge through my PC, and not through the normal wall outlet charger. Any clues as to how to fix this?

the sgs, when switched off, thinks that it is connected to a charger and that big battery screen shows up, at first the phone wasnt turning off after that.
ive since flashed using odin and 3 files hoping it would help. the phone now turns on but once switched off it continues to think that it is charging.
when i try and reboot, which i must do by plugging in a charger then pressing the power button once charging actually starts a minute later, the phone goes into a boot loop. Once it managed to get through after around 15mins.
I can get into both download and recovery mode. main problem is that the phone doesnt ever turn off (charging screen comes on), and that booting up is difficult and is hit or miss.
I have looked for other threads on this but havent found anything, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Felleese
Try a factory reset...
Thanks for the tip but it hasn't helped.
Anything else I should try?

Hello all,
I searched around, but didn't find anything quite like my issue so figured I'd create a new thread.
I work for a company that uses Galaxy Tabs for various purposes. One of our men brought back their VZW Galaxy Tab (SCH-i800) and it was in an infinite boot loop.
I went to recovery and attempted to do a full wipe. This did not work (partitions were all jacked up) so I couldn't get it fixed. I'm not sure if the guy tried to root the thing and broke it or what.
Anyway, I was attempting to root then fix the partitions (then was going to flash a stock unrooted rom) and ended up soft bricking it (Phone Icon -- /!\ -- Computer Icon). The issue I'm having is the only time that screen comes up is when the device is plugged into the wall. It turns on, then off, then on, then off. If I unplug the device, it shuts down with no way of bringing it back up. I've tried holding power for 5 minutes, the same amount of time with power + vol up and power + vol down. Plugging it into the computer's USB ports does not help either.
It's like the battery is drained but it won't charge when it's on the soft brick screen. I've had it plugged in to the wall for almost 6 hours now with no hope in sight. When it's plugged in, I feel heat on the back of the device like it would normally be charging. The AC adapter is also the standard warmth after a lengthy charge.
I was wondering if anybody has had similar issues with this device and if there is any way to correct it.
--- EDIT 8/10/2012 ---
Another thing of note is when the device is charging, I can power it down by holding power for a few seconds, but the Soft Brick screen pops back up almost immediately upon release of the button.
I cannot boot into recovery or the standard download mode even when it's plugged in.
As long as you can get the Phone ! PC screen, your'e good, because this screen IS as a download screen. Go to this screen and flash a known good ROM.

You must not have read the whole thing. Not a problem.
The only time I get the Phone ! PC screen is when it's plugged in to the wall. As soon as I unplug it, it goes away and the device won't start up no matter what I try.
When you connect the tab to the pc, is it recognized by Odin.

No... When the device is unplugged from the wall it is shut down and won't boot back to the download screen, recovery, nothing. It doesn't turn on. There are occasions where the download screen stays up but it appears to just be frozen. The computer doesn't recognize it and neither does Odin.
I left it plugged in when I left work on Friday... Going to see if charging for the weekend does anything.

No dice.. still jacked.
I determined the following scenarios may have happened:
1) The battery died (bad battery) during a software update and messed up the partitions
2) The battery died (bad battery) while he attempted to (unauthorized) root or flash the device, messing up the partitions.
The only thing I'm sure of is the battery is fried so any kind of hacking I can do to the device are for naught. I was able to get it to connect to Odin this morning for about 3 minutes (after having it plugged in to the wall all weekend). During the flash it shut down again bricking it even worse. Now the device won't turn on when plugged in to the wall.
Thanks for the suggestions and help. I'm calling this a lost cause at this point. We're just swapping out the device for a new one. Once that's complete, I may tear the device down and try to do a reset on the main board to see if that does anything, though I doubt that's the case.
Right I had exactly the same problem as you (exactly the same symptoms) but I have now fixed my tablet.
Like you I got to the point where the Tablet had enough charge to actually unplug it and connect it to my PC where I then tried to flash a stock ROM using Odin. About three quarters of the way through flashing the stock ROM the tablet died, disconnected from Odin and I got a message in the task list in Odin advising me that the process had failed. Even weirder my PC did an emergency shut down and restarted in safe mode.
Anyway I tried it again but when I started my machine, once I'd logged onto my desktop I started up Odin as quickly as possibly, selected the .tar file and pressed start as quickly as possible....it worked and my tablet was flashed with a stock ROM. However my battery was still pretty much dead and the first time of charging once it had been flashed with the ROM took about 24hrs plugged in at a mains charger for the battery to reach 100%.
My point is persevere with it and you will fix it. I was at the point where I was about to send it off to be un-bricked but obviously I'm glad I didn't now.
It is a ***** of a brick though, this 'coma brick'.
I've been having these same issue with my friends i800 galaxy tab. Can you chime in and offer some advice?

same problem-solved
I was having the exact same issue. the device screen was completely black when plugged into the computer. I was just about to give up when, all of a sudden the device went to the boot error screen while plugged into my computer. Apparently, it must remain plugged into the computer for about 20-30 minutes. Once this screen appeared, I ran the Heimdall one-click unbrick utility, and like magic, my galaxy tab was working again. Give it a try, and good luck.

I am having this issue with my sch-i800.... phone /!\ pc screen only when plugged into the wall, and no recognition of it on the pc. Any way of fixing it?
Hi everyone, first things first I have already read through the various threads on this subject but there doesn't seem to be any consistent advice/suggestions with my specific problem. I was trying to flash a custom ROM on my tablet and I don't know whats happened but the net result is that my tablet won't turn on and it only shows any signs of life when it is plugged in to the wall charger where you see the clam-shell style cell phone connecting to a computer screen but its flashing rather than constant (the forum won't let me post the youtube clip thats out there demonstrating this but google 'Samsung Galaxy Tablet Bricked' and if the first video that appears).
If its connected to my laptop then it doesn't charge at all and the laptop doesn't recognise the tablet at all so I can't re-flash stock firmware via Odin.
I have had it on charge using the wall charger for over 12 hours now and yet there still seems to be no life in it and I've tried all the various combinations of power + volume down button etc
Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can sort it. Am I right in thinking that as it at least shows some signs that its not dead when you plug it in at the wall, that its not completely bricked?
Any help at all is greatly appreciated and apologies for going over old ground.

Does Odin see it? Computer may not recognize tablet but odin/heimdall should.

Otherwise, send it to this site, they claim that they will repair full bricked tabs

No even Odin doesn't recognise it. Haven't tried Heimdall though.
Its now been on charge for about 2 days and yet if you unplug it from the wall it doesn't turn on/respond to anything.
Boot into download mode before connecting to pc. Then open odin or heimdall. Use the latest versions.

the tab is that dead that I cannot boot it at all, let alone in download mode. If I unplug it from the wall charger it doesn't respond to anything. Completely impossible to do the above.
well my friend you have the same problem of another member in xda, i dont remember where i read about it, but am pretty sure that your battery is completely dead, it shows the same thing, when plugged to wall you can boot into download mode, once unplugged, you can't access to anything. In his case, he tried to charge it for a day, and then the tab turned on, he thought that the tab is alive again, so he tried to flash it, after 3 minutes, the tab went off again before the operation complete, and now his tab is fully bricked.
yours still alive, i think that it is soft brick, or not bricked at all, but your battery is dead, and you can't do anything without a working battery, if you have enough skills to change the battery, get one form the net, and you can also make sure that the battery is the problem when you open it, you can connect it to a stabilized power supply with the needed voltage and current, if it turns on, your battery is indeed the problem, if not, we should think about something else.
good luck my friend, i hope i helped a little.

this is exactly the same problem you have, read all the thread, before you do anything more harmful to your tab.

Hi, I have a problem with my Galaxy S3 Mini, the issue is that the phone was discharged, went out and did not turn over. When you get home and connect the charger it came on and also the loading screen. After ten minutes or so, left the battery charging icon and then off again. since then, the phone will not turn on, I can not enter the download mode or recovery mode if I connect it to the computer does not recognize it.
I installed Carbon Maclaw Mod 4.4.2
What could have been and what can I do?

Hi there. I really hope someone can shed some light into this big problem I'm having.
I'm running CM11 with TWRP as my custom recovery.
Earlier today, I was streaming a video with flash. Then the video hanged but the kept playing. Nothing happened when I pressed the back button, menu or power. So I pressed and held the power button until the phone turned off. Then it wouldn't turn on again. I thought that the phone just locked and got stuck so I removed the battery. But it still wouldn't turn on. I can't even go to recovery or download mode. I tried plugging it in to a charger just to see if by some miraculous reason the battery completely drained, but still nothing. So that's what happened. It was working perfectly fine until it hanged.
I hope someone can tell me what happened to my phone...
Thanks,
Harold
update: I tried plugging my phone into a my laptop and I keep hearing the usb connect/eject sound. It seems like the phone is trying to turn on but can't. I removed it, removed/reconnected the battery, tried to go to download mode, but nothing happened, then I connected it again to my laptop but I can't hear the usb sounds anymore. So I removed/reconnected the battery again then plugged it in my laptop, and the sounds are there again.
I don't know what this means. I really hope someone can help me...
My tip would be to remove the battery for 15 minutes, then try to put it back and turn on.

Already tried it.
I don't think it's the battery, it would at least turn the screen on for a while.
Try to put the battery in, and connect to charger (don't turn on).
I guess there is nothing else to do here, send it to RMA. :crying:
Can't you get into download mode?

I can't get into any mode. And as I've mentioned above, when I plug it in my computer, it makes the usb sound, like I'm continuously plugging and unplugging it.
Odin is not recognizing it, even Kies.
