Galaxy Tab Back to Froyo STOCK from GB Stock

I think I've Bricked to completion now!
I have been using Overcome ROM and had issues with battery performance and other items. So I decided just to go to stock GB. Well I did and I thought to myself, why not get really good battery use and go back to Froyo. So I downloaded from samfirmware.com the JM2 ROM. Well, I did just that, using Odin 1.7 and it showed "PASS" in green. Normal pit file and reset partition checked.
Will not turn on at all and won't even go into "Download".
Besides the obvious "BRICK OF THE YEAR AWARD" replies, does anyone have any help they can lend?

I'm not the one with the answers, but I casually saw these two posts hours ago:
How to unbrick tabs:

This unlocks bootloaders so your SamFirmware.com rom won't brick you:

Thanks for the help, with the link you provided. I called the guy that I got my simple mobile phones from(and my tablet sim from, too) and he said he could fix it. So I left work immediately. Well after about 10 minutes, he said, "Here you go, the LCD screen is fried"
So I'm really bummed, but I'm also hopeful cause I can get a new LCD installed from ubreakifix.com. They are the same people that I got the new 3.5mm jack and repaired the Tablet, just about 30 days ago. So even though I'm bummed, cause I just got it fixed, I'm very hopeful that I can get it fixed, I just have to come up with some money for the part.

Can you try plugging it in the Computer and wait for while and see if anything shows up?
When i soft bricked my tab after a failed odin attempt it wouldn't turn on or nothing. I left it plugged into the computer, started to youtube a bit and after sometime pasted a phone and pc screen popped up.
Try it because if the lcd screen fried i would think the LED buttons would atleast light up if it was on.

Looks like you're not very lucky with your tab.
Then again you're lucky you have this kind of service (ubreakifix) in the States, coz we're stuck with the overly expensive regular services from companies like Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and so on, and they not only fix nothing but also charge you for that. I wish there were alternative services like this here too.

Hey thanks you all! I'll attempt plugging the unit into the laptop tonight and pray something happens.
I've actually connected the unit to Odin and Odin recognizes the unit, by show the COM:0, but I'll try the laptop at home. This all failed at the office PC.

Yah try that first because if loading a new rom doesn't do anything then yah something else is wrong.
So atleast then you know its hardware not software. If odin recognized the phone then there is hope. There are times the tabs go into what's we call a coma state and it usually clears up by loading a new rom. So atleast odin sees it.
It took like 20min for my tab to turn on with that phone to pc screen. If nothing comes on but odin sees it...load the overcome gbsafe_v5 rom and if you get green light then wait for it to reboot

"use genuine battery" message

Hi there,
I've been using CM all the time, but now I decided to switch back to stock rom.
I installed everything properly but after boot up, I got the message "use genuine battery" and the phone shuts down.
Of course I am using my original battery that was in the package.
I tried without success:
- pressing PowerOn-button for 20 seconds when battery unplugged
- cleaning battery contacts with nail polisher
By googling I found this advise that shoud fix the problem:
Many LG Models have a common error of saying Use Genuine Battery then powering off. This is a very common and fixable issue. please understand that this method will most on most LG phones but does exclude the 8100 and older models, and the exact location of the items you'll be looking for in programming will vary model to model.
If you encounter this error you can attempt to correct the phone if you have another battery for the phone that will power the handset up.
Install the battery that is working
Type in: ##LGSERVICEMENU send (##5473784296368) on the dialpad.
enter the security code: 000000
locate: SW/HW Tests or HW test or SW/HW Versions
once you locate and select the correct field you need to find "bypass booting"
in this menu you need to locate fake battery mode select it and choose on.
Your LG will now work with any battery that fits into the phone.

I tried this and borrowed a battery from a friend. With this battery everthing worked fine. But unfortunately the service-menu as described by typing ##5473784296368 didnt work on my 4xHD. Instead I tried the hidden menu 3845#*880#. But there I wasn't able to find anything like "fake battery" or so.
Does anybody know where this menu point could be?
My phone is too old so I wont get a new battery from LG Service.
thanks in advance :good:

Try this number: 3845#*880# maby is that option in this menu

Ok @eFCiKay maybe you should enter in recovery and wipe all partitions, this would be fix that problem.

Did you SERIOUSLY just recommend that the OP simply wipe all partitions in order to fix a battery problem? Really? I guess he'd be so pi$$ed off at no longer having a phone which would boot that he would no longer notice the battery problem?
If this is the level of your advice to help people out then I suggest you stop bashing on your keyboard and find something else to do with your time instead.
And to top it all off you beg for thanks at the bottom of your post

thanks for all answers
of course I would have been aware of, that in case I'd wipe all partitions, I need to reflash recovery and rom.
But could this really fix the problem?
I even tried another baseband (v10h and v20a)

Just re-read your first post properly.
You have been using CM with no issues, but when you went back to Stock this started happening? What Stock have you gone back to? Given that, I'd be tempted to do a full KDZ reflash and see if that makes any difference as it's possible something has gone wrong when you've reflashed.
Although, if I read right, you used a friend's battery with no problems? Just buy an OEM battery from eBay and see if that fixes it.

pfffff..... that it's a problem, you should charge your battery with a phone battery charger device and when it's fully charged or 80% put the battery on the phone plug the usb on the phone press down volume button and plug the usb to your computer (you will need to have phone driver installed)
and flash the fw with kdz.
just give one more chance to your battery!

Fix Maybe?
Hello,
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but just for information in case anyone else comes over this issue and end up on this thread.
I found with my p880 that one of the battery prongs on the phone was bent in so that it didn't attach properly to the battery connection.
I got a pin and hooked it underneath, then pull the pin slightly out which brought it back in line with the others.
I then got cleaning alcohol, I used isopropyl, to clean all the contacts.
After doing this I found the error message went away and the phone works as it should.
Hope this helps someone else with the problem.
Regards,
Monkey

damaged Huawei P9 - get data

Hello everybody,
I have a heavily damaged Huawei P9 - no display anymore, but the phone is still working, can charge it, can start it or shut it down, connect to the usb, but just in charge mode as the adb or Huawei software needs an authorization or to select in the phone to connect on the right way to the PC to see the files etc...
My question is : do you know a method how I can get all data dumped to my PC in this state ?
especially when I have no display and cannot select the right connection type.
Thank you very much,

did ur phone was dead ??
still on screen .. ur phone booting up ?

Not possible! Let your screen repaired

The screen repair I think is not an option for me, the phone is so damaged that it will be a waste of money, although the hardware is operational yet.

to somehow access some boot menu where I can get the dump of the phone or access the phone memory ?

No it is not burned, just a mechanical damage.
the phone is still working, still can charge it, start it, and when I connect the usb the connection sound etc... but offcourse the display is totally damaged.

Thank you, I will try the guide, I did a try earlier to access the phone through adb, but the adb cannot see it, as the phone default is just charging when it is connected to the usb, and due to missing display I cannot do any change or settings, I have just 2 buttons, the power on/off the vomune up/down buttons

Exactly the same problem with Huawey P9!!

I broke up my screen, can i recover my SMS ?

Hi everyone,
Before starting, i want to apologize if you don't understand everything, i'm a french guy and i think the only way to having help is to come here, 'cause the french forum aren't really alive about the Nexus 6...
Yesterday night, i had a very bad night. For some reasons, i threw my phone away on a wall. Then, i saw only this morning that i completly broke my screen. Now, it doesn't work at all, i can't do anything on it.
But, i can enter in Downloading Mode (i don't know if its his name ??? Just by pressing power and volume down) and i hoped that i can used this to enable the Debugging Mode, or find any other way to take back all my SMS, who is very very important for me. Do u think that there is a way to get them back ? I heared that i could flash a kernel with debugging mode enabled, but i can't find this on the web...
I used the Textra app for texting with my contacts. I never used the Hangout app (and i think i regret if there is a cloud save option).
I really hope that you're gonna help me guys...! Ask me if you need more informations, or if you don't understand something.. lol
Cheers

Oh, ouch! That seem to hurt. Be careful with your fingers.
What I would suggest you to do is to install vysor (which is a chrome plugin) from the internet on your computer. Hook your phone to the computer with cable and the program will install the app on your phone. Now through adb it will show your mobile screen on your computer and you will be able to control your phone from your computer. Search vysor in Google and search for it on YouTube too to better understand how it works.

But the problem is still the same, every app (including Vysor) ask me to enable the Debugging Mode. Without it, i can't do anything... or maybe i missed something ?

Unfortunately yes, you do need that enable with most apps seeking access externally to control the phone. I assume that the upper level of the screen is not working? Do you have an OTG cable and a mouse that you can use and try going into developer options to enable debugging?

That would be a good solution if you're able to navigate with the little of the screen that is working. Sometimes autorotating the screen will help you see part of what is at the bottom of the screen. That way you might get into developer option with an otg cable.
It there are anyone else here with any other solutions, it sure would be nice to hear.

I just bought the Honor Mate 8 to replace this nexus, 'cause the Pixel XL isn't available in France and the Mate 9 cost too much. I hope it will be better in performance, but i'm sure i will regret all the new Stock Android updates
Tomorrow, i will buy this OTG Cable. We'll see if it works well..!

Hi friends,
I would like to share this with you... : My screen is now completly black, only maybe... 5 % of is working lol. BUT... I've bought an OTG Cable today and with luck and by knowning my phone perfectly, i have enabling this famous Debugging mode and now, i can finally use him with my PC.
I would like to thank you for your help, and a goodbye because of my next phone who is a Huawei Mate (8... the 9 cost too much lol)

Question Phone randomly Restarting

Hello everyone, my Phone (Mi11 venus 256GB) sometimes out of nowhere is just Rebooting itself. I tried Facory Reset wich didnt help then Flashed new Firmware with MiFlash. Problem still occurring. It does not seem to be related to high usage of CPU/GPU because sometimes it happened when i wasnt using the Device for a while a short Time after i unlocked Screen, when Recieving a Call for example. Is there a Way to test the RAM for Errors like in Windows? Where can i find precise logfiles that maybe show the Error or help me Narrow it down? Has maybe someone faced similar issues?
Thx for any Help

Hi, did changing the battery solve your problem? My MI11 256gb also often reboots itself. It's often rebooting on stock rom, xiaomieu and also on all custom AOSP ROMs. Thanks.

No luck. I changed the battery and still having spontaneous reboots. Often it does not even pass the mi logo while booting. I tried to get the error using adb logcat but nothing relevant is logged when the device reboots. Seems like hardware issue.

Oh I'm really sorry about that. I thought you are atleast able to boot into the device and it shuts down in the middle of something.
You have to get the hardware of the phone inspected.
