Hi all
(I'am French. M'y english is bad. I apologize).
Here's my problem : I bought a used Samsung SM-T715.
Unfortunately, it's defective, and the owner has disappeared.
In fact, the tablet will reboot when it is turned off. But, it will reboot also after approximately 1 minute. For exemple, when I load "recovery menu", I select "Wype data", he runs, then I want to select "Wype cach" , I cannot because the tablet restarts.
I followed a tutorial to install an official ROMs via Odin. Everything went well. The tablet restarts. Home screen first use. I have to set the wifi, ok, but when I use the keyboard, it crashes after a few seconds. Impossible to use, the tablet reboots ...
So, I am disappointed. I tried again the recovery menu. I selected "Wype data and cach" . Same result. after à few seconds, the tablet reboots.
My question is : How totally reset the tablet, like unboxing ? Samsung has technical unavailable to the general public?
Please, help me. Thank you so much.
Pierre
Your tablet is broken. Flashing stock firmware with Odin usually fix every problem if it's based with software problem.
Same problem with 710, but my problem only happens inside the OS, not outside
Do a search for battery connector issues. It may help your problem.

I have samsung galaxy tab p1000, india.
I am experiencing a problem with touch screen.
Once it starts working, it works perfectly fine with no glitches or any problem but once it goes to sleep mode, it may or may not recover from the sleep mode. When I press the power button, the screen comes but i m not able to unlock it or used.
Initially this problem used to occur rarely but now it is very rare to get my touch working.
I have tried hard reset / soft reset / changing the firmware (approx 20 times) but m not able to make the touchscreen working reliably.
Have also flashed miui ICS, aokp , firmware from samfirmware , tsar300, but no use.
As far as i appreciate this is a software glitch as the touch screen are not able to load everytime the tab wakes up. So, if some body could correct this problem or suggest a solution.... it would mean a lot ..
continue
I was just working out things. When i flashed stock firmware ddjm2, i had a comparatively stable system and improved touch response, although the frequency has reduced but the problem still exists. Any help would be apperciated, i am really frustrated,
thanx in advance
It may be a kernel issue. Have you tried Overcome's kernel/ROM?
tried overcome kernel also, no use.....
It sounds like a software/firmware problem, but if you're still having issues on stock kernel & ROM, it may be a hardware issue...I've never had any issues with touch on my tab...

thanx bigz1981, one more thing discovered today.
once i flashed fresh froyo 2.2, it works fine but when i connect it to internet, something is updated which results in touchscreen showing above abnormal behaviour. This time after installing the firmware, I switched off the network, lets see if this solves the problem. Nyways thanx for the advice.
Also, i now remember that previously I updated my "tsp update" by dialing that *#____#* number, Which had failed. All this may be result of that. Can you throw some light on TSP,
1. is it touch screen ******,
2. whats wrong in updating it.
3. Was it trying to update through internet, since I was not flashing anything at that time.
4. Is there anything known as touch screen firmware , from where can i update it.
Thanx dear, for all the effort putin by you.....
I also request some senior administrator of the forum to show some way in this darkness...
from the developers, i wanna know,like we have device drivers in case of computers ,
1. we must be having some drivers for thetouch screen ,???.
2. Can this driver be loaded everytime the tab wakes up from sleep.
3. Can we shift loading of this touch screen driver higher in the booting sequence.
I am not a android nerd, but i know some basics of windows. Please guide the correct way. Thanxxxx
Just another input for processing, around 8hrs earlier i had again flashed my tab with ddjm2 foryo2.2, and disconnected from internet. The tab worked fine. I operated it for around 40 times waking up from sleep. It worked perfectly except 4-5 times. I am not able to understand,, what is there that is spoiling the firmware, once it starts updating through internet.
Hello .....
i came up to the forum ....with some expectations .... . ....
moderators , administrators pl listen,....
I saw a similar thread, but try to download ILITEK Touch Utility from the Play Store & see if this helps with your issue.
Dear,
I have the same issue!! very odd. I was a long time without using my tab and then I found out this issue few weeks ago. I've installed 2 applications (angry birds space and juice defender) right before the issue, no new rom updates (I'm still using the euro rom update on my t-mobile tab done 2y ago), however not sure if any automatic update has been performed on the apps. After deleting these 2 apps, issue still persists.
Let me know if someone found a solution.
B. Regards,
Marcel
happened to me when google market is updated to google play
Hi,
I have 2 weeks ago bought a Galaxy Tab Verizon SCH-I800 from a friend. Everything worked perfectly, after 5 minutes, there was a message "System Update Available". This I did. The tab was a reset, since it is dead Nothing, just nothing, no download mode, no recovery mode, no battery sign. I guess because I am from Germany, the system has loaded a German update. Since this tab is not available in Germany, however, it probably came to this crash. Please, please give me some advice on how I this tab again to bring it to work. And please, if you have a suggestion, please explain it so that it is understood an idiot, I am of this field is an absolute layman.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
Sound strange. Have you noted something strange when updating?
Have you tried to plug your tab for a long period like the whole night?
After that, try pressing the power + volume down and see if it get into the download mode.

Hi hello howdy!
I'm going to skip the foreplay cose the action here is pretty weird and you'll want to get right in, trust me.
I've a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-8190L, that reboots itself, after it has booted up, and I entered the sim pin and lock pattern I've from seconds to 5 min of grace before the phone restarts itself. I have tried two different batteries and the problem persists. I went and decided to rule out hardware problems (power bttn) and after some tinkering, ruled that out too. So now my best guess is firmware.
The phone is not rooted, does not have recovery mode installed, and is running stock 4.1.2 jelly bean with TouchWiz, no mods, no hack-y stuff, your old regular samsung s3 mini.
I tried installing CM11 with odin, and didn't work. But not because odin threw an error, no, that went on perfectly according to the program. But when the phone booted up, the rom was still stock, nothing changed, and it rebooted itself briefly. Weird. So then I thought "well, maybe at least the recovery mode is there now" since it supposedly was a package install. But no, when I tried to boot onto recovery the phone gets stucked on the boot screen with the samsung brand and model of the phone, and then restarts itself, this happens like four times and then the phone boots normally, the OS starts, everything loads and then goes on to restarting. So this was not a solution either.
Next I though, well lets just install the recovery, no, that didn't work, odin said that the install was successful but it was not. Tried with odin 3.04, .07 and .09, tried CW and TWR, neither of them load, as before, when trying to boot to recovery the phone displays the splash and the reboots itself like four times before starting up the OS.
Next I though well, lets try to root this thing, at this point I was just trying anything to see if anything sticked, but nothing, tried SuperOneClick, and no. Wanted to try TowelRoot but that uses an apk. I tried vRoot against my best judgement, but that didn't work, but not because of the reasons you might think, it did install, the phone managed to stay on for enough time for it to get running, but when it restarted, there was no app there, it was as if nothing was installed just a few second ago. I thought "huhh? That's really weird". So I went and did some testing on this matter.
It turns out that no matter what I do, I can install an app, delete 5 apps, change settings, and nothing sticks, when the phone restarts it goes back to the way it was, its like the phone lost the short memory and its like that Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore's movie, 50 First Dates. The phone rollsback to the state it was when everything began.
I even tried to change something quick, and restart myself the phone to see if that would make the change stick, but no, that didn't work either.
So, I came up with a brilliant idea, look up a similar case on internet, 'cose you know, it has to have happened to someone else before me. But this is so weird that looking it up is a challenge by itself. I tried a few things here and there but nothing does it. So now I'm here writing my sci-fi story looking for some feedback on how can this story be ended without killing any of the characters, I want everyone to survive and work again. You know, happy endings.
Any ideas on what can be the problem? Seen anything like this before?
Hi Guys,
I have this phone for many years, but suddenly the random reboots started approx 2-3 months ago, running originally KitKat 4.4.4 at this time. Before that I was rooted the phone and I supposed it could be something with that. However, flashing back & factory resets didn't help at all, clearing dalvik caches as well. What I tried up to now:
1. Upgraded/Downgraded the bootloader -- no change
2. Tried different recovery modes -- CWM & TWRP(the current one)
3. Different ROMs -- no change, the sudden restarts persist.
(4. Updated the radio -- the signal got quite better)
Three days ago I've upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 (the Cyanogenmod 12.1), the same story continued after a while (different applications installed).
There's one thing for sure: flashing the factories always results into a very stable phone at the beginning, installing some more applications leads to the same state -- random and frequent restarts.
I've checked the hardware -- the power button looks ok, it's definitely not the main cause b/c it reboots without touching! The CPU temp & free memory look quite good too.
Now, the current situation is as follows:
- flashed ROM (official one): 2016-03-03 Poland (T-mobile) 4.4.4 I9305XXUFOL2 I9305TPLFOL2 (seems like the most stable till now)
- installed ATK (Advanced Task Killer) -- configured to kill all applications aggressively when the screen goes off.
For me it looks like the ATK helps much, although I don't know the reason. Also, memory checked, I've executed all kind of possible tests up to the phone -- all appears as OK. Also, I don't know if it's related to the issue but I moved all possible apps installed to the SD card. The internal memory has been formatted via TWRP before the last ROM installation... Does anyone have any idea what could be the reason for the sudden restarts? It restarts even in Safe Mode, without any obvious reason and not touching the phone at all. The CPU load at the times of restart is quite low, the temperature as well. I doubt if the RAM is corrupted or maybe the NAND has some bad blocks. Are there any useful utils for tests that could be executed?
PS: I attach some log file, which I gathered once I was running the Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Lollipop). As I stated above the situation is the same when running 4.4.4 and 5.1.1. Sometimes after such a restart, it sticks in a boot-loop (if I boot manually via the GUI in recovery or download mode it will not).
Current versions:
---------------------
Android: 4.4.4
Baseband: I9305XXUFOA1
Kernel: 3.0.31-4282983/[email protected] #1
Build: KTU84P.I9305XXUFOL2
SELinux: Enforcing
Recovery: TWRP
I beg for your help on this! Cheers!
Same problem here...
Hi there
I'm having this same annoying issue with my Samsung GT-I9305. It suddenly restarts without doing absolutely nothing but looking at the screen or scrolling a text or just sending a sms/whatsapp/whatever.... I started trying to restart the phone (nah) turning it off and back on (nah) changing the battery for another one that I have here with me (nah)... After that, I extracted the SD Card and leave the phone only with internal storage (again, nothing happened but restarting randomly). I tried not installing apps such as FB, even Pebble App or just stopped sycronizing my phone with my Pebble Time via Bluetooth, but with the same and well known result: still restarting suddenly. I have noticed that when Google Play detects that there are few apps with a newer version asking to be updated, the phone restarts too! I tried deactivating this option in Google Play, just letting me to decide when and how to upgrade my apps, but It seems that it still detects the app upgrading needs and keep doing it the same way.
About a year ago, I found the same problem with my phone, but in that time it was related to the power button, it seems that it was pressed all the time and the device felt into a rebooting cycle. I check some blogs and I solved the problem cleaning the button with this electronic cleaning spray. I almost drowned my Samsung but I let it dry for a few hours. It worked fine, until now.
My cellphone is still in Android 4.3 (I9305ZHUCNB1) I don't know why I can't upgrade it to a newer version, even when I see that the 4.4 is available for this model. Right now, I'm thinking about change the cellphone and just forget the whole problem. But I'm just exploring again to see if I can find a last solution that tackles this annoying issue.
Did you manage to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately not, I had to buy a new phone. I guess the processor or other element suddenly broke, there's no other explanation to me. Also, as you see no any reasonable support in the forum.. Anyway, wish you a good luck with this.
Not so good here too...
Thank you. But unfortunately for me too... Today my phone went black screened suddenly, when booting only got to Samsung GTI9305 logo... I tried to restart through secure mode and the other one you get pressing power plus home plus volume high, and when tried to do a cache cleaning and rebooting it showed some mmcblk failed issues. So I couldn't do so much to revert this situation. I already bought a new phone, not Samsung of course. I have read that some people had the same problem as me just because they let the battery reach a very low level in one opportunity, and something in the internal memory went broke. So it was a great phone, for three years and half, but it's so bad that it fails this way unexpectedly and without any apparent reason...
Yeh... There's no much support here, especially with old flagship cellphones...

Sorry for bothering this thread also... I got success by replacing the display!
Hi,
A few days ago, I replaced a USB socket on friend's old Samsung Note 1 (GT-N7000). Soldering may not be very professional, but it does the job - the phone is charging and it can connect to the computer.
Today (3 days after replacing the USB) he came back to me with another problem -
after turning on the phone, only the white brand name and model appear at the start and then nothing, a black screen. I think it's turning off. He says he had some problems with the battery in the meantime and the screen was flickering strangely.
He had a custom ROM loaded for a long time that worked normally and worked well on this phone.
Today, despite not starting the system, I was able to enter TWRP recovery and DL mode. However, if I wanted to do anything in recovery (backup, factory reset, etc), the screen turned off. After a few attempts, it stopped going into recovery.
I have restored the original software using Odin and N7000XXLSZ_OXELS7_4.1.2_Repair_Firmware
- still after the white inscriptions at the start, the screen goes black and nothing
- trying to enter recovery, overturned android appears for a moment and the screen goes black
- DL mode works
Maybe someone knows what could have happened and most importantly how to get this phone work? Preferably on some "custom ROM" to have at least Android 7.
I was thinking, I was looking, I was tearing my hair out of my head. I searched half the internet and suddenly stumbled upon this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bricked-only-download-mode-available.3096409/
The phone is the same, the problem is the same - the battery is to blame. I immediately called the owner to give all the batteries he has.
OH, OF COURSE! The one I got along with the phone and its problems was the only one that caused all the restarts and errors. After inserting a different battery, the problems were resolved.
All that's left is to clean up Android and the case is closed.
By the way - I have collected in one place the files and information (Polish language only) on how to install NightOwl LineageOS 14.1 Android 7.1.
2 on this phone. If anyone needs this information, please visit here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1libYpWC4qJbjGJRE1Szf8L3eTdoHPTpE?usp=sharing
