P1010 Bricked....?

Hello everyone!
I have a serious problem with my Wi-Fi Only Galaxy Tab. It came with Froyo out of the box and I tried installing GB via ODIN but in the middle of the process, my computer turned off because of a blackout and my tablet was in download mode with the big "DO NOT TURN OFF" warning. The process wouldn't resume after I got my computer back on and I had to turn off the Tab. The problem is that now it won't turn on, when I press the power button (long enough, about 10 seconds) the LCD turns on in black and if I let go of the power button it goes back off. Tried connecting to the PC but nothing happens, tried charging for more than 4 hours and still got nothing.
HELP PLEASE!

So to get this straight... you cant go into downloading mode or recovery? Even if it doesnt display it on the tab... try holding power and volume down while odin is open (reinstall the drivers too) If that doesnt work then I believe you sir have a hard brick and have messed up your bootloader. If that's the case i just saw a post about a service that fixes them for 50$ somewhere on the gt7 forums...

Just go to download mode again and reflash. Don't forget about battery.

If you are using the TMobile note you have to make sure the USB cable is plugged onto the device as well as the computer then do the necessary hold. I think you have to hold both volume down and up and power button then when phone reboots let go of power button

As illest_one_7777 just said. Make sure your USB cable is plugged in to the phone and PC. Then do the hold buttons thing. Just had this problem a few minutes ago and it works perfect with cable plugged in.

I had the same problem and realised that I have to use the usb cable that came with phone, any other cable will cause the issue that you had.
Try to do it with the usb cable that came with your phone, this solved my issue , hope it does yours.

I use an old PC program that I found here on xda, called aio vibrant tool box. Turn on USB debugging and boot to download mode straight from windows, its worked on every Samsung phone I've used. Hope that helps..

Will this jig fix a phone that just keeps rebooting without the screen coming on? It just keeps vibrating every 2 seconds.

this is the right answer OP.
hold all 3 - up/down/pwr

Yes, well sort of, it will put you into download mode the rest is up to you having Odin installed properly, and the correct ROM to flash.

I thought you just do volume down+power and than press up when it boots

Put your battery on it

Download Mode Success
I had success getting into Download mode by having the USB cable connected and holding down BOTH the up & down vol. buttons while also holding the power button. Released power button only when I felt the first vibration during boot and still holding BOTH vol. buttons.
If I did the same thing without the USB cable plugged in, It would boot to Recovery instead of Download mode.

Wont go into recovery mode

Hey I need some help.
I have a stock exhibit II 4g and I am trying to root it but I've tried a thousand times and it will not go into recovery mode. I've tried many timing variations one the simple power and volume up. Some site say to do power, volume up, and home. and the there volume down and power which takes it into Odin Mode which just sits there "downloading" forever.
I've even watched youtube videos and time it exactly like they do but my phone just does not do the same thing that theirs does. Is there some trick to it that I'm not getting?

Try this. Plug it into USB cable of computer, pull out battery, hold volume up and power and reinsert battery. You should come to a screen with a triangle, just hit the menu key and you will be in recovery.

Besuure the computer has the right drivers installed as well. Not sure where you was getting the info but the wiki for this phone list the correct procedures

That worked, thanks. But now my data doesn't work with any of the ROM's I've tried (CM10 and slimbean both 4.1.2). and the android keyboard stops working whenever i install gapps.
Any idea why?

Not that the roms come with data off but did you check to be sure data is enabled. Usually the easiest is the most overlooked.

I've managed to get into recovery by holding both up and down, holding power till the screen turns on, releasing power, then waiting till I see the recovery menu to release up and down.

Go to settings, then under wireless and networks select more>> mobile networks... Make sure data option is checked, if not check it and see if that solves your problem

[Q] Stuck in recovery mode - galaxy s

I am sure that this has been covered before unfortunately I am very technically challenged. Let me briefly explain. My son has a galaxy S, his bottom 4 buttons stopped working, he downloaded an app which somewhat replaced those. He read that you can do a factory reset and it might restore the buttons. Mind you he is 14, in doing so it went into recovery mode. Now it is stuck, we have read many threads and have pressed just about every combination of buttons to try to get it out, I guess ultimately we are trying do get it into a download mode in order to reinstall software, none of which have worked, is there any way to do this without the home button, sorry if this has been rehashed many times.

stuck in where? n what button cant be use? is it bootloop?n sgs got 2 hardkey n 2 softkey + 2 vol button, so which one?
n u can do jig if hardkey broke

Ok, I have made a mistake, I looked at his brothers phone and the model is actually model sch-I500, the buttons that are not responding are the buttons across the bottom, the home, back, search and settings. The phone is currently stuck in the manual recovery mode. I can toggle up and down but am not able to select anything due to the home button not working. I have downloaded the ADB program and was able to see his brothers phone. I am still not able to see the phone that is stuck. So I know the drivers are ok. I have read that the usb debugging has to be enabled. Frankly I have no idea if it is, it does come up on the computer as a cd drive but not accessible. I do not know what a jig is. Thanks.

use power button to execute or select.

How to get Recovery/Download modes

Of so after much trail and error here is the process to get to them.
1. With the gear on press and hold the power button until gear screen goes black.
2. Once the reboot screen appears press the power button 5 times with about a second interval between each press.
3. You will then be presented with the following three options: continue/download/recovery
4. Pressing the power button will cycle through the options.
5. Leaving it on the options or pressing the power button for 3 seconds will select the option picked.
NOTE: My experience so far download works like the phones, but be warned if recovery is chosen it will say "installing update" after which it will reboot to factory defaults. So that means all will be deleted and you will be presented with a fresh gear.
Hope that helps everyone especially devs. Hopefully getting some cool new things on our gear.
If this info helped leave me a thanks and pass the work. Glad I could have helped.

yes it works.

You can use adb to reboot into these modes:
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot download
If you do it this way, recovery does not reset your phone
Now if only someone knew how to compile custom recovery so that we could get philz touch support
EDIT:
From what I've seen, gear currently runs android 4.2.2
