[Q] Another bricked Samsung Tab - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hi. My 8.9 tab is rooted and it looks as though it is bricked. (Was working fine so I assume the other half has done a software update). Battery is completely dead and not taking charge. Do I have any options other than using it as a paperweight? Cheers guys

I didn't understand what is the problem with your device!!!
do you mean you have a battery drain and you're not able to charge it??

It won't even switch on and will not charge. Looks as though it's been bricked. It will go into download mode though

Check the charger. My tab will not charge with a normal low power phone charger so I always use the original charger.

Tried various chargers, I'm pretty sure this is a firmware/brick issue.

so why won't you install a stock ROM through download mode using odin??

Are you seeing any error messages on POST? Try to install a stock ROM. If you receive disk write errors in red, you may have had the issue I had (see recent post).

S I9000 won't power up

Hi all,
I have a serious situation with my S I9000, I really need some help.
So I had jelly bean Cyanogenmod 10, It worked fine until one day I updated it, and then I tried to Update some apps using Google Play App but the update didn't finish and cause me lots of unworkable apps.
I rebooted my phone to recovery mode, I made a backup, and then tried to restore an old backup (before I updated Cyanogenmod) but then the phone didn't want to start, It powers up but stays at "Samsung galaxy S....." welcome screen forever.
I was not able to start in recovery mode, how ever the downloading mode worked, then I tried to flash android 2.3.6 with odin but it failed.
And now my phone won't power up and doesn't show anything, even the charging screen.
I know I really messed things up but I really need your assistant guys.
Thank you (and sorry for my weak English)
What did you flash through Odin?

It's probably a hard-brick (I had the same problem last week). There are two ways that can solve it.
First is with a USB Jig. You can buy one (are super cheap) or trying to construct one by yourself. Here are some posts of handmade USB Jigs:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331782
The second way is by taking your phone to the shop.

Thank you, but I think that USB Jig doesn't work, cause the phone doesn't show anything at all : no downloading/recover mode and no battery charging screen.
I heard about JTAG.. do you have a tutorial for that ?
Thanks again.
JTAG i think is only used by professionals, so i don't think there is any guide about it
is it really i9000? or i9003?
as far as i know, flashing i9000 ROM into i9003 will hardbrick ur fone

You can not restore any pre-CM backup as it has different format. I had the same situation last week and learned now how to revive my i9000
It is just a soft brick probably, if you have download mode (check 3-buttons) let me know if it works, I will help you later then.

The phone was completely dead. downloading mode or recovery mode didn't work even the battery charge status wouldn't appear.
The solution was JTAG. it's complicated and used only by professionals as @TenKoX said.

2. latter I tried to root with PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar.md5 using Odin. It was not successful, instead, it brought a yellow triangle with with an exclamation mark inside while booting up, but, it still worked well.
3. Yesterday, i tried to root it again with http://205.196.123.93/16u53bf954yg/6bxp34p353tf8ob/PhilZ-cwm6-XXLSZ-OXA-4.63-signed.zip. It rooted quit alright but with the yellow triangle still there.
4. I then tried to remove the yellow bang with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354888
5. my phone went off totally. i tried the Jig, no effect. Plugged it to the computer and still no sign of life. How can i solve this?

Its not good practice to hijack a thread in the middle of someone seeking help... If you really need to, start your own. I realise this is your first post, just letting you know how it works.
Philz kernels are meant to be flashed from recovery, not odin which is why you got the yellow triangle. I have no idea what method you took to remove yellow triangle, but easiest way is to use triangleaway from the play store.
You rooted correctly the first time and it was successful, you then tried to flash an incompatible Philz kernel which is why it won't boot. Flash a full rom using pc odin and start again, and read the instructions fully next time.

If you can't enter download mode with jig it's fully bricked and needs a motherboard replacement under warranty.

No, warrantees don't cover intentional damage. You can recover a bricked phone for $50 US with the JTAG process. See www.mobiletechvideos.com.

[Q] USB No Longer Working, How To Get Back To Stock For RMA?

Hi,
It would seem that after 3-4 months of using a car charger has killed my charging/sync capabilities of my Nexus 7 3G It will only charge from mains power/usb power when switched completely off but as soon as the device is booted it does not charge. As I can no longer use the usb connection I am unable to load the stock rom using the tool kit I loaded this flashable zip so I can RMA the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377685&page=1
Although the ROM appears to work fine (Still have the sync/charge issue though) and according to the "About Tablet" info everything appears to be stock, however if I enter recover mode with the power/volume down button I am presented with Clockwork Mod Recovery Menu which I would obviously need to remove somehow?
Can anyone please offer any advice on how I can do this to enable me to send the unit back for an RMA?
Many Thanks

And, in truth, if it's a hardware failure, rooted or not shouldn't matter.
One of the first diagnostics that they generally do is nvflash a stock image to eliminate software as an issue.

Its a Nexus Device... When manufacturers put that tag on a device they know many people will but it to modify its software... I sent my first nexus Back with a very non stock rom on it because of the screen issue. It came back fixed with the same os on it . This was sent to Asus ..
If you have opened it or modified it physically in any way they will charge you. If its a software issue they prob will not but have a right to charge you..
but you can get back to stop.. D/load the stock image from google. to the device boot into cwm and flash it.. You will now be stock.You can then d/load stock recovery and flash that with cwm. So recovery will be stock..
Call ASUS To confirm about the above. they are quite open to talk to you .

Hi,
This appears to be a software issue as the port will allow usb/mains charge when powered off but not when powered on, (alot of reports from other users on this after using Amazon cigarette lighter chargers like me! ) the cables/chargers have all been changed and the port itself seems fine and has never been damaged in any way but sadly I cannot use fastboot due to the USB connection issues...

Hi,

I have the original stock rom from google but it is in TGZ format and I thought I could only flash ZIP format with side loading? where would I put the Standard ROM TGZ File on the device to load with CWM?

The tgz format is a compressed container like zip. You can upcompress it, and I think uncompress something inside it again you will eventually see .img files that you can you to go back to stock

Samsung Galaxy S3 mini is completely dead

Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

Ok, can't help you, maybe search this forum for unbrick device. I know there are fixes that can be used with some bricks.

And I don't think Samsung will repair it as my warranty is void and I doubt if my parents would get me a new phone as this phone is only 3 months as well! And I have seen an unbrick thread and I tried it and it didn't work :'(
Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Don't worry everyone I sent it to a repair shop (not Samsung) so I hope they manage to fix it.

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.
In the S III Mini General forum there are topics about getting your phone back to stock so that it is covered by warranty.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

I tried those solutions and they didn't work.
Kid, can you read?
What did you try? What was the result?
"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

I read all instructions, and when I flashed it via Odin, nothing actually changed even with the params!
