[Q] Wierd problem

Hi guys,
I have a problem.. my phone won't connect on the computer or with charger.
If i restart it, it just displays the battery and the spinner for a few seconds and then the screen goes black again and the process repeats over and over. I'm able though to get in download mode and flush successfully a stock firmware with odin.
As long as i keep it plugged on the computer it can connect with kies and recharge, once i unplug it won't connect again..
Can anybody help?
Thanks in advance.
well the fact that you can flash thru odin and connect with kies ect suggests its not a hardware fault...
perhaps you could try a (stock) firmware that contains all 3 files. and maybe flash it using pit and repartition... sounds like some sort of bug in the rom, confusing the phone when connected..........
just to make sure.. you have the latest drivers installed right ??
I've flushed JPO stock firmware, everything now works fine but it won't boot unless i connect it to the charger. It shows empty battery..
very strange..... are you running CWM if so boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.. then try charging the phone for a bit whilst it is switched off...
if it still fails to work properly then i must be wrong and it could be some sort of hardware fault... only samsung can repair that (unless you have insurance for a straight swap)
I wiped the battery stats but with no luck.. it didn't work.. I don't have insurance.. anyway, thanks for your help.
All i can say is that i have seen similar problems posted .Phone not working unless charger plugged in almost as if phone has lost the battery .
Dont know if problem was solved but a thought would be bad battery connections .

{FIXED} take a look at this bricked galaxy tab, repairable? [FIXED]

basically i messed up the bootloaders now it does this (bear with me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkFsZK79XYQ
it only does this when plugged into the wall and it will not do anything if plugged into usb port on the pc, my guess now is the battery is so flat that it wont do a thing any more! i almost got it to run via odin on the pc but the battery drained so bad that it wont respond, i have left it plugged in for at least 6 hours with then just the same response just on and off on and off.
can i take the battery out and charge it via a separate charger to get some life into it to then flash the stock rom via odin?
any ideas would be great! i don't mind taking it apart but don't want to if i'm going to fry the battery i have all sorts of wall chargers, can i join the + and - from the wall charger to the correct wires on the battery for it to charge? i have a multimeter to test the batteries voltage. any suggestions?
[UPDATE 1 ] flashed overcome stock rom then pc wont connect to odin even in recovery mode, :recovery is stock: :rom is stock: from the overcome website, cant flash any rom via odin as it wotn connect, error message usb device not recognised' how to fix this issue? maybe update.zip via sdcard within stock recovery? which rom and for gt-p1000 united kingdom. i tried to reinstall samsung kies for the correct driver but still the same issue, cannot connect after flashing. i have been following this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 any help with connection would be great or flashing via recovery, almost unbricked but not quite.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet
Hello, I don't think that you have a dead battery. I think your rom has a defect cause your Tab would like to boot. Is it possible to go to recovery or to the download mode? Try to flash something. Does your Tab start this screen flash automaticly by plug on a PC od starts this only if you try to turn it on?
PS: It is possible to remove the battery but it is a little difficult. My suggestion: don't touch the Battery
will not go to download mode or recovery. no response when pushing power power button, all i get is the flashing screen with pc and mobile phone connection.
i left tab connected to the pc for one hour, the tab came on with the pc-phone connection image, i flashed overcome rom via odin with repartition which completed but when it went to reboot it has stayed turned off and wont come on at all even when pressing the power button, no download mode and no recovery, i will wait again for it to come on and try the stock rom, not sure if i've got the correct bootloaders or not.
any ideas?
Have you tried leaving it on the ac outlet? or car charger?
ok slight update. . .
i left it plugged into the pc after it passed the odin flash it then BOOTED i was like WWWAAAAAAHHHHOOOOO bouncing on my chair and feeling very happy indeed the battery is totally dead but is now charging in the wall switched off to get some life back into the battery im so pleased
next steps is to get the overcome rom to flash!

i tried for 6 hours to plug it directly into the wall but nothing worked.
Exact same thing happened to me on the Sprint Tab. Called Samsung and sent the unit in. They sent me a brand new unit the next week.
when plugged into my pc now i get an error message, ' usb device has not been recognised' im thinking its the drivers but not sure where to get them, i have searched.
i have updated the 1st post with more information on this issue.
Your tab was showing a secondary bootloader so if you mess up your primary bootloader with the bootloader patch it'll still be recoverable and as for getting overcome I would recommend upgrading to gingerbread which doesn't have protected bootloaders and flash kratos or Jupiter which are faster than the froyo based overcome rims ;-)

the only issue im having now is the fact that the pc wont recognise the android phone when in download mode.
the only message i get on the screen is 'usb device not recognised' i am then unable to flash a different rom or a stock rom via odin being gingerbread or froyo. thats why im asking if there is an update.zip file that i can flash from the recovery to make the usb mode work as it wont even work with debugging mode on or off and wont show via samsung kies or odin when the tab is booted.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet
good troubleshooting!!! I

[Q] Phone Stuck in boot loop - USB port broken

First of all, i'm new here, so if I make a mistake, no hate please.
So I was trying to install Xbean onto my Galaxy S GT-I9000.
This phone has a broken USB port, and as such, I had to root and flash Clockwordmod Recovery mod onto it without a computer. I managed to get into CWM Recovery and went to flash the Xbean.zip file I had on the internal SD card, and when I did, it lasted maybe 3 seconds, then turned off and back on. It's now hanging at the "Galaxy S GT-I9000" first boot screen. For some reason, the 3 button combo doesn't work for either recovery or download.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this issue?
P.s. I have already taken the battery out and placed it back in multiple times.
same here. I have a galaxy s I9000 with a broken usb port and I can get into download mode but no recovery. because of the usb port can not use odin. searched a lot but I could not find a solution. without odin it seems it is not possible to fix the phone. One repair center guy told me that there is a chip or something on the motherboard that regulates the usb connection. that thing is damaged because of imporperly charging. I have a bricked phone.(though I have still download mode)
both of u. if ur on GB. n u success to boot to recovery before da problem occur, u need to flash cm9 stable first to gain da cwm not direct custom ROM. then first flash will bootloop. juz take out battery, n use 3 combo button to go back to recovery again. its da matter of releasing da combo button. release it RIGHT AFTER u see da first bootsplash n wait. if failed. try again. n if it still fail. it means da kernel doesnt even flashed inside system.so u need to flash back to firmware using odin.
note: first flash will install cwm n kernel only as upgrading partition.
second flash will install da ROM.
try to boot to recovery again.

Usually the way to fix this would be to use the adb shell to force download mode, or using a USB jig to go back to stock. However neither of them would work because you have a broken USB port... :/

Again, best way to do this would be to use download mode and flash in a stock rom. Bu tif the USB port is broken... :/
I think the only thing you guys can do would be to get the USB port repaired somehow. Most methods (although do try @compacity's method, it may work) rely on the USB port and a USB connection.

was struggling with the same problem for 2 weeks until I had to give up and send it in.
In my case though, it was not like the support guy said a broken chip but abrasion of the connector in the middle of the USB Port. Obviously plugged it in too often.
Sent it to W-Support, they replaced the small plate in the middle of the connector and everything is working nicely again. So probably a piece of hope for you that maybe some support can still revive your phone. Unfortunately afaik there is no way to recover it w/o reflashing. Was within warranty so no clue what the price would be.
Some people are reporting that removing the battery for like one night made the bootloop disappear.. desperate times etc. wo why not give it a shot

As I said before donwload mode is ok but conection can not be done due to broken usb port (even after fixing the usb port two times). So I guess there is something wrong with the main board. Anyway thanks to all...May be if there is a way to boot from an external sd (like installing ubuntu from usb stick) if not I have dead phone....

[Q] Samsung logo freeze, cant recovery, can download mode (cant join to pc)

Hello everyone I am sure that there is a lot of this thread going.
But I think mine is even worse.
the problem:
I rooted the device, everything worked fine ( did it with card reader - because my pc can not recognize the device had the problem a long time ago, somehow it worked then, but does not now, giving me the code 10 and 43
I think my USB port on the SAMSUNG might be damaged, because it does recharge but wont connect at all, tried kies, tried all the debugging modes, drivers, turning off the computer, rebooting all that stuff..)
The main problem is I flashed the cwm, rebooted, worked fine, then I clicked the do Backup thing and from then I can only go to yellow "downloading" or samsung logo, cannot even use that "Odin" because my USB is apparently damaged.. Any Ideas at all other than taking the phone and throwing it into the dumpster?
it is gt-s5830
my system is Win7-64bit
any help will be deeply appreciated ...

Hi there
you will need to give a usb jigg service to your device and then flsah it back to stock using odin
SGA s5830 stuck @ boot logo
I follwed these steps before it stuck @ boot logo
1 rooted phone through root_S5830.zip file
2 then used 6.0.4.6-cooper_fix.zip cwm recovery
3 decided to flash Touchwiz-Resurrected_ROM_V1.0.zip rom
4 followed all steps to flash thrrough CWM recovery
phone reebots samsung.com logo>> samsung boot animation shows up>>samsung name appears again keeps glowing and phone restarts!!!
after it I tried 6-7 different roms then i tried to flash through odin but wasnt able to do so but failed the device showed up in odin but wasnt able to flash stock rom
then i decided to go for Phil touch recovery I installed Philtouch recovery and tried to flash a custom rom now I'm stuck again at boot name GALAXY ACE s5830 nothing goes further!!!
I searched over XDA and some guy quoted this problem is solvable by using odin and putting phone in downloading mode (vol- button+home button + Power on ) I am able to put my phone in downloading mode, but when i conncet it to PC it says USB device not recognized WTF!!!!!???? 10 mins ago i connected my Phone using same cable same port same odin now this ***** appears ???
I swapped PC's, Cables, ports everything nothings working , phone wont start stuck @ boot logo pls help ASAP :crying:
That's it.. You have hard bricked your phone that's dead recovery and dead download mode. Give your phone the usb jigg service which will force it to go to either the download mode or the recovery mode whatever you want.
