Hey everyone, Having an issue hoping for a solution on. My Sprint Galaxy Tab S2 wont boot at all, wont (atleast show) charging, Odin isnt picking it up, and Smartswitch is telling me its not connected to the pc either. I put my S/N into SS but it comes back saying wrong SN each time I try again. Technically I am within my 1 yr however, Ive rooted it also so bye bye warranty... Anyone that can throw me a bone? Id sure appreciate it!
I noticed my volume button is also sticking a bit but Im not sure its even part of the issue. The phone died (hard bricked?!?) during an update I believe. Im hoping I can recover the device especially because in the past Ive done the same with my Note 3 and Note 4 and have been able to locate the proper resources to recover with odin even when odin didnt see it at first. (Dunno I did it but I know it was some awesome advice from xda-devs that had obviously been there with past noobs. If theres anyone that could refresh my memory or hand me the news that I'll need to seek proper burial for this dead stick I sure would appreciate it regardless....
thanks all
:good:
Thanks

i have a family in usa and they come visit me in my country soon.
now,i can tell them to buy for me samsung captivate but im worry about 1 thing.
i heard that some of the samsung galaxy line coming with hardware lock [you cant accsses the download mode or recovery]
i saw that there are some methods but i also saw alot of people that said that this method bricked thier phone X:
so im not really sure if its good idea to buy this phone becuase if its locked im screwed becuase i cant ask for exchange or something.
should i buy this phone or not? [this is the best android phone that i found in my price range [500$] , this is why im intrested in this phone]
sorry for my english and thanks for help.
I have the 1008 model which is said to cause alot of problems getting into recovery and download mode. As long as you are careful you should be fine. It's still possible to get into these modes, and to date I have not had a problem.
If you want the phone don't let that hold you back. It's not something I worry about too much.
EDIT: It's still possible to get into these modes just not my normal means. And there is a fix in the forums to correct the problem, if you decide to.

ye i know there is a way to acsses this modes but i heard that you cant make a backup and if something happen so your phone is bricked X:
btw this hardware lock is for sure to some of the sgs phones and not all of them?
thanks.

under the battery there is a number above the sku. 1006 is has download. 1007 is hit or miss and 1008 has a problem. the phone can get recovery and download mode through adb reboot and some of the froyo roms in the dev section have download and recovery added to the context menu when you press power. then as a last resort for a phone without the button combo that is bricked there si a jig that you can build that forces download mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551&highlight=download+mode+jig
its a feature on the hardware, and has saved phones thought to be bricked
there is a fix in the development section but i think you lose the fix if you flash to jf6 unless you use the jf6 version with the fix integrated.
if you dont live in the states why not a GT i-9000? or if you want a contract phone for the reduced price why not a vibrant which has hsupa enabled?
i cant contract becuase i dont have this phone in my country.
btw, at&t are not selling only 1008 phones now or its randomal?
thanks
I got my phone replaced a short while ago, and I got back a 1009 model.
And it works just as it should.

It's your choice but I think you should keep in mind that there are problems with the phone like the random shutdowns some users have experienced (including me). I think it only occurs to some rooted devices but I am not sure. You don't want to be left in a position where you cannot return your phone. I stopped having random shutdowns and it's a great device for me but there are other android devices you can go for
HI everyone.
Im wuold really need some help with this problem.
My phone have had some problems with connecting with usb earlyer and its been coin flip will pc regonize it, well after instaaling some apps and making back up before that i noticed that im getting black screen and have to reboot to get my galaxy screen working back.
FInally i made factory reset but then i got really big problem, when i start galaxy it shows the galaxy text and after it that flashing S logo but after it screen goes black and thats pretty much it!
Also usb not working dont know shuold it be in that state working!?
And pressing those 3 buttons wont do anything have tried multipletimes everyday, so my phone has locked me out pretty good is there any solutions on that? Or is my phone totally ****ed up?
Hopefully you will be able to cure it with the jig method (look in dev section)

What rom where you on before ?
Well phone where updated with Froyo 2.1 but nothing else. oh it were also rooted and thats about it! have been thinking about to sending phone back to the manufacturer! dont really have time trying to find some cure for it.
Rooting = no warranty so you would be best to clear it via jig just in case .
jje
rere
hi there it been longtime since i wroted here.
Well i tryed the jig method with usb cable and with single 300k resistance, made little mistake not to measure it before because there is a 5% tolerance with it so my resistance were only 294k. Doesnt work btw phone dont do anything with it, well i have to make new cable and be sure that it is the 301k resistance. will be adding new info after it what will happen. Im slightly scare that even getting that right resistance it wount do anything, it wuold be that point when i will send it to samsung and maybe get it working again.
Downloading...
okay. next problem with jig managed to get my phone to download mode!! JIIHAA
but now my computer cant regonize it!? actually this problem had before the magical black screen. Any solutions for that? have installed new usb drivers and oldones but cant find it.
PLS need more help!!
Sounds like you need to clean the cable. I've had a hell of a time with these issues in the past. When it is on again off again (or you just get 'generic device' or unkown device) then try cleaning the port on the computer with running alcholol and something tiny enough to get in there.
I did that after a huge long search on here and it was like freakin magic. 8 drivers popped up all at once!
Never hurts to do the comp and the cable too (and make sure its not a charging only micro usb...).

Hi
Ive bricked my Tab from updating to Gingerbread through ODIN, I knocked the USB lead out by accident. The bootloader froze and couldn't get it to flash again, so I turned it off (BIG MISTAKE) and now it wont turn on. It won't boot in to bootloader mode either.
BUT
If I plug it in to my PC, it is recognised as 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D'. The drivers wont install, if I hold the power button while plugged in to the PC then it disappears from Device Manager.
Ive searched the forums and found nobody with the same 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' detection.
Could somebody please help me, I cant find my receipt for it and im worried about the price of the repair.
Many Thanks
Ryan
does odin recognize it ? if does , flash again gingerbread and this time be more careful

Thanks for the reply, I cant seem to get odin to recognize it. Only each time when I plug it in, 'SEC S5PC110 Test B/D' pops up trying to install drivers. I've left it to charge on the mains for the rest of the day and going to see if that helps.
Ive found a bank statement with my purchase on it, so I might be able to use that as a proof of purchase. Do you think I could get this repaired under warranty even though Ive bricked it?

Go ahead and do a RMA with Samsung, i'm sure they will send you a new device, or at least they can try to repair the broken one. Good luck!
PS. don't tell that you've bricked the tab!

Ok, Ive looked around and to my despair ive tried everything and have not been able to do anything. What happened was I flashed a CM9 nightly onto my Galaxy S i9000 and was stuck at the S during booting. I couldnt get into recovery but I could do download mode.
I was looking around and stupid me found a one click ODIN that was for the CAPTIVATE only, which I should have read that first....
So then what happened was it turned on and got stuck at an AT&T screen during boot, couldnt get into download no matter what I tried. Then I just left it at that screen because I was pissed off with myself.
Not long after I left it, I came back for another crack at fixing it, but the phone was off, was cold, and couldnt turn it on. I cant charge it, I cant do any sequence of events to get it to even feel remotely responsive. and now I may as well just buy the Galaxy II.
I do want to save my little friend of a phone though that I have had for 2 years, I might buy a jig if I can find one for like 1 AUD on ebay or something, but am unsure that it will work.
So please im begging someone, is there any way I can revive my little buddy. I am begging for a response that works :'(
U got soldering skills ? Search adamoutler for the unbrickable mod.
To get ur battery up and running ask some Samsung center nearby to help charge the battery for u . Or ask a buddy with a working sgs to charge it for u .
If ur hopelessly lost Samsung will fix it for a cost .

dont give up just yet!!
leave it plugged into a usb port for at least 1 hour see if anything comes up on the screen.
try that and then report back! you may find it gives a logo of (connect pc to phone) if it does that let me know and i will give you a guide with links to install from fresh with odin
Hi Guys,
So this morning, I woke up to find my phone had rebooted overnight. Not surprised by this, as it often happens randomly from time to time. This time however it was stuck on the Samsung splash screen, black screen with white writing, saying N7000 blah blah....
So I rebooted the phone, and it was still stuck on the N7000 splash screen. I left it like this whilst I drove to work, and it was still like it.
I took the battery out, and left it for a little while and put it back in, but NOTHING. black / blank screen... I left it on charge on and off through out the day, as I was trying to fix another phone issue (someone elses at work...)
Anyway, got back to mine, and still nothing. Still nothing booting or displaying on screen now, just blank / black screen. As our phones don't have LED notification light, can't tell if there's life there or not. The [Open Windows] and [Back] buttons don't light up or anything.
I've read about the famous "Samsung, Black Screen of Death" which appears to affect many Galaxy branded devices, S1 - S5, Note 1 - 4, and some other models, higher up without removable batteries.
They all seems to post positive remarks, getting their phones back from the dead, by holding power button down for 1x minute and leaving the battery out to drain phone of residual? power.... I've tried this, and still no life yet. They say it may not work first time... I've tried it a few times.
Do I keep going, or is it DEAD DEAD now?? Anyone else had this? Has it worked for you guys or not??
So gutted, loved this phone...
Thanks, Lister
:crying:Still DEAD:crying:
Have you tried using Kies to restore the OS? Or download the OS file from Sammobile and install it manually using Odin.
Hi @iceepyon,
Thank you so much for replying, I appreciate that... :good:
Sadly though, I think my Note is a little beyond that stage... It doesn't even turn on, with or without battery/mains power. I think either the eMMC chip is toast, or some other hardware failure now.
All these Black Screen of Deaths for Samsung video's appear not to apply to my device, and think my device is actually just a paperweight now. Gonna try one more time to bring it back from the dead, with a JIG and see if I can repair it that way... Otherwise, it will be going to the great Silicon Heaven, in the sky.....
Thanks again... Lister

Best of luck to you. If the eMMC chip is indeed toast then you would have to purchase a replacement motherboard. It is very hard to find a N910C motherboard.
