[Q] Verizon SCH-i800 Bricked with back light off - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys!
Two days ago i tryed to replace the kernel of my SCH-i800 using ODIN and now it is apparently briked.
It is able to go to download mode and since then i am trying to flash lots of ROMs, kernels, PIT etc.
Some times, depending of the ROM I use to flash, it can boot, but the screen is black, like if the back light is turned off. I can either interact with the capacitive screen, but I can't see anything. Is is the closest i could get a unbricking.
Probably it can enter in recovery mode, but I can not interact with the menus because is completely black.
Someone could help me? Someone had the same issue and know what is happening with the back light?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Priyana, but I already tried this method before and it did not work.
I think that it is a problem with the bootloader files, but i cant find a link with the complete rom with the bootloader files.
Could you help me?

Unfortunately I don't have enough resources for CDMA tabs.
Yeah, you maybe need a complete ROM.
But since you can enter download mode, I would hazard a guess that your bootloader is intact.

[Q] tab bricked?or is it?

I had issues with my Verizon tab. I flashed the rom back to stock with himdall. It now has black screen unless I plug it in then the camera flash stays on. My windows 7 laptop can still connect to it. I reflased again the light goes of then back on. Want to get it back to stock but don't know and think maybe its permanently bricked?I can not get it to boot or do anything.

Verizon is CDMA correct?

Woah buddy I didn't say go ahead and flash it. So you put it in download mode first and then flashed that?
There was no way to get into download mode. I flashed it but this time the camera flash went off and stayed off.
So how did you flash it then if not in DL mode?

Had this same issue and tried overcome method. after flashing screen is off and only capacitive buttons light up. I tried charging it but it doesn't display the battery charging icon. Any help would be appreciated
Luisoman2000,
Sounds like you have other than P1000
Maybe a P1000N or P1000L of the Latin America?
If so, you need to seek out alroger's site for L/N kernel.

yup, its a p1000n. im charging the tab right now, tried connecting it to pc and it was recognized by odin so i guess those are good news.
Definitely.
You can use overcome method to restock, but you will need humberos kernel to get it boot up.
Let me know if you can find the right post.
Btw you don't need to refresh the whole thing. Just need the right kernel.
I am only speaking from what I read, no first hand experience.

Use heimdall 1.3.1 (later version may cause other issue) and you needed to use zadig.exe to install USB driver.
Odin I am not sure, it needs to be .tar format.
I don't know if taring a file make it OK to Odin. Never tried myself.

Ok, I did what you said, now it just goes to 'logo_ql.jpg' draw failed. It also wont let me get back into download mode, it just goes to this message. now what?
EDIT, nevermind, got it into download mode... guess i just need to keep trying different roms to figure out which one works?
You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Don't ever wipe using stock ICS kernel. It will hard brick your device. I think now already got affected. Flash a safe kernel first then wipe.

So I have a question. I had tried rooting my device and it failed into a soft brick. Previously I had jzo54k on there. Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.

Touch Screen not working after ICS update

Hello all,
I have a GTab 8.9 from AT&T. I performed the ICS upgrade last night using Kies and it seemed to load correctly with no errors however the touch screen does not work now. It boots up fine but I cannot do anything with the screen. Power and volume buttons seem to be working fine.
I was able to reboot the device by holding the power button in and then go into download mode and do a factory reset. That went with no errors but the touch screen still does not work.
So, next I thought I would use Odin and try to push the factory rom back to it however Odin never sees the device, (tried multiple usb ports and 2 different pc's Win7 32b and 64b) However if I go ahead and let the GTab boot on up Odin does see it at that point. I can also get to the internal sdcard via my computer.
I also tried to copy the 7300_cwmr files to the sdcard and rebooted back to download mode. I selected apply update from sdcard and went into each of the directories but the device does not see any files in the directories, just the directories themselves.
So.... at this point I'm at a loss what to try next and I'm hoping someone on this forum can give me a nudge in the right direction.
I did reinstall the usb driver
Odin sucessfully recognized this device in download mode 'before' the ICS upgdate, not after.
I am using the factory usb cable and I did try a second one.
I was running version 3.2 before the upgrade.
Not ever rooted
Kies recognizes the device as well, can kies be used to flash my device? (sorry if that's a stupid question)
Thanks ahead
Are you sure you're in download mode, not recovery, when you try Odin. If kies recognizes the device I can't believe Odin won't.
Is the stock rom file you're trying to flash a zip file or a .tar.md5? The recovery is looking for a zip file and that may be why you didn't see it in any folder. Odin uses the tar file.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I am in download mode. As I mentioned, Odin was able to see my GT before I upgraded to ICS, but not after. At least not in DL mode. If I let the GT go ahead and boot up Odin recognizes it with the port showing up in it's normal amber color.
It boots up fine, the touch screen is not working though so I can't use the GT. Once it boots up I can see it in my computer and place files on on it.
Thanks
Have you tried fixing permissions when you're in recovery mode? Do you have a custom recovery installed our the stock recovery, and if custom which one?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I apologize, I'm not sure what you mean by fixing permissions while in recovery mode. I do not see that option on the screen. Everything is factory on the GT. I have not installed a custom recovery. The only change to the device from stock was the ICS upgrade that I just performed via Kies.
Is there a way that I can recover the device back to 3.2 using either Kies or while in DL/recovery mode? When the device boots I can see it and add files via my computer. Can I place the stock rom that I have downloaded from sammobile on the devices sdcard and reboot into DL mode and do a restore from sdcard? Is there a different way to do this without Odin?
Odin... I am not sure why it is not recognizing it while in DL mode. Odin will recognize it after the device boots. Actually Odin recognizes it just after the "Samsung" logo displays... while the AT&T "Rethink Possible" startup video is playing Odin will see it at that point. Not before. Quite frustrating actually. (I have tried multiple pc's and usb ports)
Thanks again for the help and apologies if I am asking stupid questions.
With the device off, hold down the power and both volume keys. When you see the Samsung logo release the power key but continue to hold down the volume keys for 2 seconds then release them. That should get you into down load mode. It'll say something about pressing the volume up key to continue. Have Odin running and then plug on the usb cable. Have you done something like that?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
ok... so I found an old "XP" laptop here at my office and downloaded the usb driver and Odin again and wnet into DL mode and for whatever reason Odin sees it on the XP machine. (whatever) grrr
Anyway... I downloaded and tried pushing both of the roms I found on sammobile.com for AT&T ( i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4) to my GT8.9, both times they completed successfully and when rebooting the touch screen would not work.
Is the rom still available for 3.2? Can I revert back to what came with it when it was originally released?
Thanks again for the assistance.
It sounds like you have a bigger problem than putting the stock Rom on it is going to fix. If you're still under warranty I'd take it in.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I called them up and can toss it back at them, which I will do if I cant find an original factory rom to try and push to it.
I'm still searching for one though I have not been able to find one yet. Can anyone point me to a factory rom for this device?
I'd like to try and flash it back to stock before I send it back to them (if possible) as the touch screen was working just fine before I pushed out the update via kies the other day. Once the update finished and it rebooted, the touch screen did not work after that.
Thanks!
Go to sammobile.com for the stock roms. You'll have to sign-up but it's free.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I've been to that site, that's where I got the 2 I mentioned above (i957UCKJ7 and i957UCLK4). I believe the UCLK4 file is ICS, correct? I'm not sure what version the UCKJ7 file is. I did try both. Those were the only 2 roms I could find there for the 8.9 ATT GT. I'll go back and look again. Maybe I missed it.
Thanks for your help
I'm sure those are the only two. The other one is honeycomb. They are the official Samsung roms. I think you've done what you can.

In a small way I'm glad to see that others are experiencing this also.
I wonder if anyone out there has a completely stock rom or knows where I can pick one up? I have tried the 2 over at sammobile and neither brought my touch screen back. I have searched and searched online and can't find anything.
I was reading on a different site while researching this issue and he said he reverted back to his original factory image and the touch screen functionality came back. I'd really just like to get my GT back up and running somehow until this ICS touch screen problem gets figured out.
Thanks ahead for any help.
Sammobile is the stock roms. Use the oldest one, honeycomb. The download is a zip file. To use Odin you'll need to extract the .tar.md5 file out of the zip. Use 7-zip to do that.

LG G2, Need help finding a fix.

So I have an LG G2 that I used AutoRec on and it flashed a different kernel not compatible with the display type. I flashed the stock ROM back thinking it would fix the problem but it did not. Does anyone know how to flash the right kernel for the display? I've been looking but it seems I'm going to have no luck since I just flashed back to stock and I need root and a custom recovery to do so. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have looked through that whole thread and it seems you need to be able to use recovery and have root permission. Most of them claim to have only a few lines but they are still able to see their screen. Mine stays how it looks in the picture 100% of the time. I used the TOT method before to flash it back to stock but it seems that didn't do anything to fix it, that's why I'm asking on this forum. Since it's complete stock and I have no way of seeing what's going on on the display. For some reason it seems to boot up into download mode also without me doing anything but turning it on. If you have any experience with this issue could you inform me about it? Thanks, man.

Most of them claim to have only a few lines but they are still able to see their screen. Mine stays how it looks in the picture 100% of the time. I used the TOT method before to flash it back to stock but it seems that didn't do anything to fix it, that's why I'm asking on this forum. Since it's complete stock and I have no way of seeing what's going on on the display. For some reason it seems to boot up into download mode also without me doing anything but turning it on. If you have any experience with this issue could you inform me about it? Thanks, man.

Can you get into recovery? Try grabbing the kernel here and flashing it.

Otherwise if the screen is like this 100% of the time, I'd say it's farked, use the return to stock guide and take it back for a replacement.
Thank for replying, unfortunately that is the answer to my question. It is like that 100% of the time and I flashed stock back on to it thinking it would fix the problem. This leaves me with a messed up screen and a phone without any root or custom recovery. I will ask, is it possible to flash a kernel in stock somehow with adb or anything of the sort? I have already sent it in for a replacement so I don't think I will be able to send it in again.
