[Q] galaxy tab soft brick ? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my friend gave me his samsung galaxy tab and it seems to have softbricked as soon as you plug it into wallcharger or computer it powers off but if you unplug it it comes on to a screen that says firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies

Does sound like a soft brick. Do you know whats on the tab? Stock, cm or kang. Rooted? Hard to suggest a method to fix without knowing the status.

[Q] Samsung Kies Update, Phone Failure

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S, which I had rooted and had done the lag fix for.
I decided to update the Android OS to 2.2.
So I removed the lag fix, but didn't remove root.
I then tried to officially upgrade via Kies.
The upgrade went through, Kies confirmed completion, and the phone rebooted.
However on reboot the phone gets past the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and stays on a blank screen, vibrating every 20-30 seconds.
I can restart in recovery and download mode but don't know what the correct steps are to get the phone working again.
If anyone can offer some advice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Try a factory reset from recovery.
No need to flash the older firmware again?
had the same problem, factory reset solved it for me

I can not do anything.... I visited all the forums, but there is a solution, but I do know if the usb jig would work .. Because all youtube video showing usb jig with the problem of the panel exclamation between the cell and the computer, but they do not show the same problem as me
Thing is IF a jig wont fix it you will have to send it to get fixed with a Jtag. Jig can be made with little cost (made mine for about $2.50) or buy em already made for $8-$11.
Keep in mind when I say the jig can fix i mean it can force your phone in to download mode.
-Pull battery
-Plug usb cable
-Put battery & hold Vol+/Vol-
If you can't go in download via this method you need a usb jig to force it.
Then reflash with Odin until successfull. You just had a bad flash and a bad fs will not let you boot the phone normally and use the button combo to go into download so you need to bypass with the usb cable method or the jig.

So let me get this right. You just bought the phone, then watched a video without reading anything and now your stuck. Please do your part is saving hard bricked devices. DO THE RESEARCH.
Yea flashing roms is a big deal you should be sure you read everything before tring then read it a 2nd and 3rd time. And not just info in the op all the info on your device.
Good luck

[Q] Probably hardbricked Galaxy Mini

I undesirably flashed recovery image on my Galaxy Mini with ROM Manager to probably unsupported CWM. No I can't boot my phone.
Odin and Kies can't detect my phone.
I can't access recovery or download mode.
Phone is rooted and installed Gingerbread 2.3 on it.
Is there way to unbrick it?
Yes, Samsung service center. Play dumb, and don't ever mention root, flashing or ROM manager

just that your updating and your phone died
Donate 2$ for galaxy fit so they can get their JB and ics

^ This is not the right way to ask for galaxy fit donations. Especially at this thread. You have no idea how mind gets ****ed when your phone gets hard bricked.
Take it to a repair shop and ask them to do a usb jig, to get your phone into download mode.

If your phone shows a PC and a phone close it and then press volume up and power key. It will show you FOTA updating.It will restart and then it will work again...
If I helped you please press the THANKS button.
