Yellow Exclamation Mark!

When I try to boot my galaxy tab I get into a pc - exclamation mark - phone image!!
I read some who solved the problem by flashing an image with odin by entering the download mode!
The problem is that I can't enter the download mode!
When I connect the tab into the pc it won't turn on at all... Not even the exclamation mark image appears!!
When I charge it by connecting it to a power source the tab shows the image for seconds, turns off for seconds, shows the image again, turn off again etc...
Please help!!

Please search before posting.
But power off, press home+vol down+power until that screen comes up, connect to Odin and reflash your rom with the p1-hidden.pit and youll be fine.

I know, the problem is that I can't load into this mode when the tab is connected to PC... It just turns off and never turns on again until I plug it in a power source...

Then charge it for a while then try.
Ive had the issue with the exclamation mark, but when you press the buttons to enter download it does enter it, but the picture never changes. You just have to repartition your device and reflash.

Charged it for hours, still can't get into the exclamation mark screen when plugged out from the power source...
And I still wonder why does it turn on and off intermittently every few seconds while charging?!
Any ideas?!

Wont it stay on reguardless of how you try to power up?
| Don't Revive Me Bro! |

The picture won't change. Here's how:
1. Put it into download mode by pressing the volume down + power buttons together. Again, the picture WON'T change.
2. I used Heimdall for this, but I don't know if Odin will work. Anyway, load the Roto JMI-V2 ROM into your tab. I used this rom because it bypassed the fact that my tab's bootloader was still locked. Here's the ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
3. Wait for it and it'll load.
The reason why you got that is because you have a locked bootloader. If you are using a GSM Tab, then use the "patch bootloader" app by Chainfire and Rotohammer in the forums. Here's the patch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
I hope your Tab will work.
Edit: You should post questions in the Q&A Sub-forum btw.

When plugged to a power source, it stays on
When plugged out, it never turns on whatever I press, not even the exclamation mark page appears...

It is like the buttons of the tab are not functioning

I had the same issue - Ive trying to root locked kernel and got yellow exclamation mark.
Follows the advice here I am sucessfully restored tab.
Tips:
Powering tab with volume down indeed turning the tab into download mode even if display shows exclamation mark. Just check if ODIN see the device.
Flash Gingerbread stock rom (follow the istructions from thread).
Dont wipe the data folder.
Install root just after flash.
Install titanium backup, backup all apps
Boot into recovery mode and wipe data dir/factory restore.

I understand all this. The problem is that the tab doesn't power on, not even the exclamation mark page appears, unless it is connected to a power source!!
Whenever it is plugged out, the screen goes off!!

Don't tell me that you exhausted your battery... O_O

It sounds like your battery is dead and won't hold a charge. Plug your cable into a powered usb port on your laptop, and operate the buttons on the tab to get into download mode, start odin, then flash.

I had exactly the some problem after bad flash.
Battery is not charging from charger and will be without charge by now.
If you connect to computer nothing will happen and Odin will not recognise it.
To fix the problem connect Tab to computer and leave it for a while (at least 20min). Now Odin should see it. Leave it connected a bit longer to get some more charge in to battery. Flash using Odin again. Hopefuly it will be OK this time.

I had something like this after screwing around with different roms.
I left it plugged in to the PC for a good while (could have been up to an hour) and eventually an image came on the screen of a phone - yellow exclamation mark in triangle - a pc. This made the phone show up in odin (so it seems it was some sort of back up download mode). At this point though flashing the kernal kept failing so I took it to the store, *****ed about how the phone crashed after an update and didn't leave til they gave me a replacement (after having a go at the manager).
Hopefully if you can get into this "alternative" download mode someone can help you from there.

Same issue of " alternative download mode", even when I'm lucky enough to have the screen show up while my tab is plugged into the usb the computer doesn't recognize that anything is there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Samsung drivers, rebooted my comp, tried every usb port, tried kies, tried with sdcard in and out, but neither odin, heimdall, nor win7 can detect any USB device exists. I also have an Epic and haven't had any issues with it. Running out of ideas so anything would be helpful.

*update* as tho anyone wereon the edge of their seat... I was able to get my PC to recognize my tab after uninstalling samsung drvrs and reinstalling then shutting down, restarted while tab charged via wall socket, then plugged it into front usb and voila about 15 min later I hear windows alert me that a connection was made and its searching/installing drivers. From their I flashed Sprint firmware w/o modem and it finally stuck. Then had to go back to work. Next I need the modem bc I couldn't get heimdall to flash the firmware from the sprint flasher package. Said it couldn't find device or something

Another "bricked Galaxy Tab" thread :(

Hi people,
I have just got a Galaxy Tab just for kicks. It's a P1000L brazilian one.
I want to unbrand it (it's Claro branded, the operator took out Gmail and Gtalk, also assigned search to Yahoo instead of Google), so I have talked to a friend which also has a Galaxy Tab, same model, but unbranded, all Google apps inside.
My FW is (or was ) P1000LVJJJ4, and his FW is P1000LVJJM9, so I went to this thread at TheGalaxyTabForum, downloaded the P1000LVJJM9 FW, PIT file and ODIN 1.3.
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/112-samsung-galaxy-tab-firmware-list/
I have read about the process and started doing it. Here's what happened.
I haven't checked the partition option, just put the PIT file and the FW file in the correct fields, put my Tab in download mode, clicked start... and after some time, almost at the end, ODIN failed. My Tab got stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. I got it disconnected from the USB cable, than put it again. Restarted the process, but ODIN got stuck in setup connection.
I took my Tab off the usb cable again, it was still stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. Pressed the power button for a while, it has turned off completely. Now it's bricked, maybe dead. No life signal, nothing happens when I press any button or button combination, nothing is shown when connected to the charger or USB, not recognized in KIES and ODIN, nothing at all.
Is there any hope for me? What can I do to solve this?

i have the same problem, did u get any solution???

Hmm, if nothing happens on screen at all either when you plug it in or hold the power button, that's very bad...
Otherwise, I think the most you can do is either let it charge for I think a few hours and then see what happens

volume down + power
Tab will not respond but plug it in the pc anyway, odin will normally recognize it even without the "android shoveling" screen.
flash stock GB

Suffering with a BIGGEST PROBLEM, I never thought of (on my Galaxy ace s5830i)
Two days back, I bymistake downloaded and installed one of ROM of s5830 on my s5830i
Installation showed successfull on CWM... but after rebooting, No display on screen and since then it hasn't displayed anything till now...
> So display is blank - No Logo, No boot, does nothing...
> Power button - doesn't do anything
> Home + Pwr + Vol Up Buttons for going to CWM - doesn't work
> Connecting USB to PC and pressing Pwr + Home + Vol Up + Vol Dwn button for 10 sec - shows hardware is connected on PC (But no display on Phone)
> Odin3 (v1.84) and flashing it's firmware stops at message 'SetupConnection...' (See screenshot is attached)
:crying: Any hopes on this phone?
Please help!

Dont worry..Since download mode is working.Try again use different pc or different usb port.It should work. Refer the unbrick tutorial in dev section
On Jellyblast 3.0.3

Still, not able to flash files ...
> Tried Different versions of Odin
> Tried firmwares from different sources as well as from Samsung
> Tried from all USB ports
> Tried on other machine
But nothing worked, every time the process stops at 'SetupConnection..' & the phone is like dark blank dead screen, nothing to display.
Even Unbricking process also stopped at this error.
Any other idea for different method for flashing the files?

Odin detects your phone but your phone is not in downloading mode therefore no rom is currently flashing. Go to Downloading Mode by VOLUP + VOLDOWN + POWER and then connect to odin and flash stock firmware. If you can't go in download mode trying everything. Then the only methods left are USB JIG and JTAG Method for which you'll have to take the phone to service center

Galaxy Ace Hardbricked?

The other day i installed the SGS3 V4 rom on my s5830 (only realised after that it was made for s5830i -.-) and now i just have a permanent black screen, no backlight or anything, nothing appears when i plug the charger in and it wont boot into download or recovery mode the only way i can get some life out of it is if i plug the usb cable in then hold Vol up + Vol down + Home + Power as i put the battery in, then my computer shows that a device has been recognised and a yellow rectangle appears in odin but whenever i try to flash the stock rom it just hangs on '<1> setup connection...'
Ive also tried using a usb jig but it doesnt do anything unless im not using it properly.
anyone found a solution? Im now stuck with my blackberry again and i cant stand it

HELP! Bootloop, restart continuosly, and download mode can't detected on my PC

Hi there, i want to ask some help to you. This is very sucks for me, when i need to communicate with my family and my friends, my phone was had a probelm. First probelm is my phone was bootloop, it was booted just until "Samsung Galaxy S III Mini" logo. Second probelm, after that bootloop, my phone was restarted and go back again to boot logo, and then restart again and go back again to boot logo, again and again continuosly until my battery was drain down. And the last probelm, after i found that probelm then i try to flash my phone to newest version firmware, when my phone enter to download mode and try to connected to my PC, it not recognized with my PC, indeed there's no notification that the device is not recognized (normally if you connect the device to PC and not recognized, will show notification "USB Not Recognized"). I try to connect again on Windows 7 (My PC was dual-booted Windows 10 and Windows 7), there's no changed, still not recognize and not showing notification. And then, an hour ago before i posted this post, i try to connect and flashing in my friends PC, but still not recognized. I think there's no probelm with my USB cable, when i use to charging, it still working.
And then i really really really need your solution, PLEASE help me, i dont have much money to repair my phone because i just have IDR 10000 (converted to USD is just $0,95) and my guarantee is expired. Soon i will face the National Exam and i dont want lost my focus to that. I hope i can get the best solution quickly. Thanks for your attention, sorry for my badly english. :crying::crying:

Msg me if you hv problem.

just a little side note....where did u get windows 10.......good luck with the phone

Hi whith model s3mimi you have i8190x or 8200? If 8190 do that:
1.Download drivers and Odin from novafusion.pl/downloads, there is section s3mini->extras and heres Drivers and Odin.
Download stock rom from sammobile or samsung-firmware for your specific model and location.
2.Install drivers, next unzip to any location Odin and downloaded rom, but in the same place both.
3.Take out battery and put in the phone, then push Vol- Home Power buttons until you see Download mode, then clik Vol+ to enter it.
4.Open Odin and select PDA and find unpacked stock rom then connect phone to usb. Make sure that ONLY Auto Reboot*and*F.Reset Time are selected.
Your pc find drivers and Odin show to you in first box in left corner info about port:comX, nevermind what number of Com but you must see info about Com port. Its important.
5.Pull button Start and wait few minutes. On finish your phone restart, you dont need to disconnect from pc. Now wait 5-8min, in this time you see only logo samsung and thats all. After logo you see configuration panel and voila.
If not see configuration screen after 8min, pull out batt, put in, go to recovery by Vol+ Home Power Buttons and clean cache, next do factory reset. Now might be work, but after restart you still wait max 8min until see configuration screen.
