[Q] Thinking my Galaxay Tab is bricked....

As I have been searching around on here for a while now it may seem my Tab has bricked. To make a story short, my tab kept freezing and restarting to the point it would stay on the Samsung screen and just restart over and over again.
Previous cures have been to just wipe it and install the stock firmware but after a while it will happen again. Well now while going through the process again it basically froze in the middle of flashing and lost connection to the computer.
Now I get this on my screen. Does it mean its bricked? I can't even get to the Down Load Screen at all. Can it still be flashed? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Oh ok. So this would be considered a service screen then. So I am not totally effed in other words? Sorry if this was a noob question that has been answered already.
Its strange though because I followed that guide to the "T" and it would still hang and give me the error screen as I have searched ( the cant find the BIN file error as well ). Ok then I will keep trying. I believe I read a post about loading it several different ways. I have never seen this screen before. Thanks again and sorry for a noob post.

This screen means you are still in download mode. Flash away!

Oh ok. Thank you both for the help. Thought I was screwed.

If you get it working, I have a Viewsonic G-Tab if you want to trade!

Ooooo I will for sure get it going!!!!

What model do you have a GSM or CDMA?
Soft bricks may still be flash using Odin or heimdall but make sure that the rom not the locked version (zImage, boot.bin, sbl.bin).
odin use if you want to repartition.
I have the original files from the SPH-P100 gtab CDMA version which I get with a roto-backup method

It's a Sprint Tab. Every time I try it, it just wont let me. ODIN keeps failing and the other method keeps telling me it can't find the BIN file. Frustrating me.......
I tried both methods that I have off hand and it just wont do it. I am starting to think its an issue with my computer but it detects the tab though when in ODIN or the other non-ODIN way which I find strange. I have flashed it before with no problems but this just started to happen now.
k0sh, I just noticed your thread you have going and noticed #34 ([GUIDE] Sprint sph p100 stock firmware RECEOVERY: last resort.) This may be my last resort. Will give it a try when I get home.

Its always best to get back to stock after a flashing nightmare.

I totally agree. Thats where I am trying to get LOL.

Is there a dbdata file for your rom? For other roms, when you don't flash that file you get a bootloop. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Are you talking about when it just reboots over and over again in the Samsung screen because that is what mine would do. And yes this tar I got has a dbdata file.
Well I am relieved! Ok I read over the Heimdall and did everything as the thread stated. It still told me it failed right off. So being the persistent noob I am I went ahead and took the tar file from the "No Modem" Stock tar file and used ODIN one more time. To my surprise it began to take it in. Crossed both finger and it finished with a PASS! I tried holding the Vol Down and the Power Button and I now have my Download Screen back! Turned it off and I tried turning it back on and bam! Got the Samsung Screen back on. I now have my Tab back! Currently charging again. Going to install all the Stuff I had on it before.
Happy to say Brick aborted! One more Tab out and about again.

I backup the stock rom DJ30, complete files

After taking a quick peek at the video, I noticed you already had the phone connected when you opened Odin. I'm guessing you've probably already tried this to get Odin to see the phone, but in case you haven't, restart the computer with the phone disconnected. Put the phone in download mode with the Jig, but don't connect it. Start up Odin, and then connect the phone.
That may also tie into the issues you're having with Heimdall. I can't guarantee it, but it's at least worth a shot if you haven't done that already.
Also, try unhooking all other USB devices from the computer. It may not matter, but having fewer USB things for the controller to look at may make a difference. And, as always, try different ports, rebooting if necessary.

thanks i from a port thats works better but now it says my partition is wrong who do i fix it

Sorry, but could you clarify a little bit where you're receiving the partition error message? Is your phone, Odin, Heimdall, or something else giving you that message? When is the message occurring? What is the exact message?
On a side note, in another thread, someone mentioned that the drivers for Heimdall and Odin seem to be mutually exclusive. If you want to use one or the other, it sounds like you'll have to uninstall the one you're not using.

it was heimdall one-click and im just trying to flash 2.3.4 and it says partition error

Ok. What you may want to try is to go here and download the full Heimdall 1.3.0 package. Since it looks like Heimdall is working to communicate with your phone, my guess is that you'll need to use the Heimdall front end and tell it to repartition your device (or whatever heimdall's equivalent of that is). Once you have that, you'll need to find a package that works with Heimdall to put UCKH3 on your device.
That being said, I've also seen that Heimdall currently may be having some issue with doing repartitioning. If so, you may need to head back to Odin land (with drivers) and grab UCKF1 to flash, with the repartition checked in full Odin 1.x. I'm linking to that specific UCKF1 package because it's stock, and has no bootloaders to possibly cause further issues. You can try the one-click version first, and if that doesn't work, grab full Odin and the 3-file package.

I just wanna say i love you if finally downloading if i could tell me how to repay you you have maid me one of the happiest peoples every

Glad to hear it's working. I'm just happy to give back.

Bricked Droid 3

Can't get my phone into recovery at all after trying to get the new up date. Only way it comes on is by plugging it into the wall, and the only way to get it to turn off is to pull the battery. Besides the Motorola sign when it is on, that is all it does right now. I think what caused this is using safestrap instead of boot strap. Here are more details from a convo with an acquaintance. BTW, I've tried the technique for getting it to boot in recovery a 1000 times but have been unsucessful.

homescreen looks sick man. Liking the launcher too.
Been waiting on the Galaxy Nexus...going to drop my X for this.
What's up?
Thanks. Btw, I fell asleep waiting on the files to transfer to my phone. When I woke up it was bricked
I backed up EVERYTHING on the sd, I just need to figure out how to get the phone past the bootloop now. Hopefully I can get it done connected to the laptop, but any advice would be appreciated. The guys on xda were a little vaugue on the directions.
Did you clear data/cache before installing the files?
I would boot back into recovery and do this. It won't delete the files you just installed, just all the old data (system settings, etc) in your phone.
I'd try a few battery pulls first.
If that doesn't work, enter into recovery from here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...-recovery.html
And wipe data/cache, then reboot.
If I plug it into a power source, the motorola emblem comes up, but nothing else. It won't even power off. Power + X or M doesn't do a damn thing, and if I plug it into my computer it also does nothing at all. The laptop doesn't even recognize it or even try to charge it as far as I can tell.
After Power + X did you hit the volume buttons in the guide like it says?
You probably did but just wanted to make sure.
You're only other choice seems to flash a fastboot file.
These are about the easiest instructions you'll find.
I've never done on a D3, but looks right to me.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-...959-and-56890/
Don't turn on your phone to charge it, leave it off and charge it.
Unless you can tell me how to install/uninstall programs located on the internal and external memory of the phone when I can't get it to turn on (even in recovery mode), I'm fairly certain I'm screwed. I believe that my only hope originally was to be able to access the memory via laptop to be able to get it into recovery. That ROM I put on had to use this http://www.hash-of-codes.com/files/Droid3Safestrap.apk, which won't work for the factory update, which has to use this http://download.clockworkmod.com//te...3Bootstrap.apk. So even though I have all the programs that I need on the memory of the phone to get the factory update then reinstall the custom ROM, I can't get the phone on so that I can install and uninstall the programs necessary for recovery. I should never have messed with my phone when I was half asleep to begin with.

Well, I got it unbricked, but it was a real trick to get it done. Like I mentioned before, I suspected an issue with battery power, because when it was plugged in for charging, the screen stayed on with the motorola logo displayed. As everyone knows, this uses a lot of power. Even being plugged in to the wall (phone WOULD NOT turn off), it was using most of the power that was supposed to be charging the battery. This is what I did to bypass the problem.
1. Let charge all night
2. Hit X + power (M + power WOULD NOT work) simultanously,then slowly inserted phone end of USB cord that was already plugged into the wall
3. After the Motorola logo displayed on the screen, I closed the keyboard and waited for the Andoid avatar to be displayed. Once he popped up, I hit the volume button up and down at the same time, which FINALLY got it into recovery.
4. Factory reset by toggleing to that option and hitting power button.
5. Once factory reset was complete, I selected the ZIPPED leak update and hit the power button.
6. After update completed, system reboot. Phone kept its root status and the DarkDroid ROM

Btw, does this info look right (asking anyone who knows). Phone is supposed to be updated with Verizon update, rooted, and running DarkDroid ROM

Sounds like your friend got a shot bootloader. Theres nothing that can be done for a LG phone that relies on their update mode with shot bootloader.
Return it to the shops for repair and say you tried to update you phone and your computer lost power during the update and hope they believe you (throw in a few tears about how your life is ruined and you'll never buy a LG product again and you should have nothing to worry about - they'll fix it for you). A failed official update is the only thing that can kill your bootloader that doesn't kill your warranty.
I said all this amusing that the optimus elite uses lg's software update bootloader.
Did you try fastboot yet?

Good day all, I'm the one that OP referenced. Somehow in the process of rooting this guys phone I incorrectly took the Elite and the Black to be the same model. Of course upon looking them up they are obviously different... problem remains that I now have a phone in download mode, windows sees it and loads drivers but no talky. LG mobile support tool attempts to update it but it craps out around 20% heimdall and odin don't negotiate with it. As suggested above it likely is a paper weight and is bound for RTV but as it isn't my phone I'd like to exhaust all efforts before I tell the owner that I bricked his toy.

If fastboot says waiting for device then it's a no go for fastboot. Still not sure why Lg removed it. Its just so convenient.

When you say SFT. What firmware are you trying to flash? What model.dll are you using? All downloads for that I know of got model.dll of Optimus Black included. What method did you use to root in the first place?

I was trying to flash using the official LG tool which auto downloads the firmware I'm not sure which version it is grabbing but no doubt the latest.
as for odin/heimdall, I know, I know...samsung, but I was hoping for some sign of life/port negotiation at least.

How do I Remove files in [xbin] folder from Failed [Root] attempts?
Okay, first time [Rooting] , I recently rooted my kindle HD 7, and yesterday my SU is no longer in its folder and my system appears semi wiped. I say semi because i have a ' Google market apk' that doesn't work and a apex launcher which still works somehow now embedded in the factory settings. That's one issue, the other is well, I tried a number of things, factory reset, fastboot with firstaide32, and reroot, but and they dont disappear and now when i try to do shell commands to the xbin folder I get this error, " cannot copy or install files to /system/xbin folder is full on device". Im stumped. How do i wipe the xbin folder so i can root again? Im still fresh to the linux coding commands.
Thank you to anyone with some insight.:confused

How to make one
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app

For me after weeks of searching believe I found the answer. When I first rooted my KFTT 7.2.3 it went smoothly. When it updated the same process wasn't working even though others on this site said it should. (Method used was Root with restore and Qemu Root) After receiving many ADB push errors and permission errors I decided to do a complete restore after reading a suggestion somewhere on the internet. I was hesitant to do this because I could not back up my app data and my Fruit Ninja high scores would be wiped, but I needed root to make my launcher wallpapers work. So I charged up my Kindle to 45% (40% required for restoring) and restored. Then I went to the rooting tool on my PC and presto not a single failed adb push in sight. All it needed was a little restore. Although RIP my poor hoghscores :crying:

its more about the effort-to-enjoyment ratio. i dont like the device enough to warrant the effort of getting it to work the way i want. it was free, so whatever i sell it for is free money to put towards a better device.
ive tried a restore and lost all my scrabble scores and games, but it did nothing for me. every pc in my house decided the kindle is now an unknown device, even when i install the adb drivers. ive tried deleting phantom installs, ive tried every tip in this forum, and nothing is working. thats why im giving up, its not for lack of trying or anything.

called amazon today, apparently theres a known bug theyre working on. 7.3.1 addresses some of them, but did not work for me. i was told another update is coming out within the next few weeks to fix all known bugs. they were very attentive and had me list all bugs im noticing, the first guy i talked to seemed happy to be dealing with someone who can spell usb, so he pumped me for info. i told him what drivers ive tried, how i switch to test mode, disable diver sig verification, etc...
the first call ended when i had to wait for 7.3.1 to dl and install by pressing sync. called back after the update didnt change anything and theyre replacing it. i'll have a new one in 2 days. you cant beat that kind of service imo. im gonna give the device a second chance simply because ive now seen how firmly theyre behind it, and because their customer service system is wonderfully painless.
