Bricked s2 i9100 - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i wanted to install linage os. But unfortunately i got error 7. I deleted the stock android so now I can't go back. Download mode doesn't work for me, the computer doesn't find the phone. Tried removing asserts but then i get invalid zip error. Tried flashing newer trwp with the current one but i get error that the file is bigger than the partition. Any ideas?

Just saw your post.
Here is <Tab S2> forum so you better ask in phone section.
Btw. Afaik in download mode the device is only found by Odin not the PC. So you can flash stock ROM still.
That sees it only in recovery mode or when ROM has started.

I tried with Odin but the phone doesn't appear there. I think it's because the usb debugging need to be turn on and actually there is no android

I've never tried without turned on debugging so idk.
Tried other cables/USB ports already?
If a TWRP is working what about flashlng any old custom ROM with it?
I once flashed a friends S2 with LOS 14 or higher but had to repartition it to be able to.

@TheHaterBg seems not necessarily to be turned on.
Which Odin used?

now my phone is bricked (Expensive stone) because my usb debugging is off and the odin do not recornize my captivate in downloading mode!!
What i can do now? How i fix debugging ON that i can flash my phone again to stock etc..
USB debugging has nothing to do with it.
you need to get ODIN to recognize your phone. sounds like driver problems
I install odin drivers for captivate 32bit and my windows 7 don't recognize my phone, also odin do not recognize.. i test Downloading Mode.. Is usb debugging off or on with Downloading Mode?
also sdk manager installed with google samsung drivers..
Anybody else that having this recognize issues with windows 7? what to do that recognize are working
In CWM, check to see if you have the option to Root. If you do, apply Root and try flashing the rom again.
I had similar issues with 2 roms with similar errors and I had to apply root in CWM and re-flash and it went trough fine.

USB DEBUGGING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH DOWNLOAD MODE!
usb debugging only has an effect if you are ALREADY booted or currently BOOTING beyond the splash screen. it doesnt matter for download mode...period.

this is one of the most ridiculous things i have read today. root also only applies to the OS....from within recovery or download mode, you arent in the OS...so root doesnt mean SH** within recovery

Don't be a dip****,. I was stating my experience.
From stock 2.1 I could not install Continuum v4 in recovery and got a similar error for E:/
I had to flash a SpeedMod based kernel in recovery and root first before the rom would go all the way trough to flash properly!
It only happens to certain roms...other roms can just flash in recovery from stock no problem without rooting first.

This statement thus proves you have no idea what you are talking about. When you understand how a Rom flash works, then you can come back to the discussion. In the meantime, try reading an update-script or 2

You said that you installed the 32 bit drivers for windows 7? Unless you are running a netbook or installed Win 7 on an older computer you probably need the 64 bit drivers. Most newer laptops these days are 64 bit OS. You can check by right clicking on "my computer" and selecting properties. It will say whether you are running 32 or 64 bit.
I also recommend downloading kies (samsung sync software). You can get it off the Samsung website under downloads. Once it's installed and opened, under tools, you can select install drivers. Go through that process and then close kies (make sure it isn't still running in your system tray), open odin and try to connect in download mode again. Don't forget basic troubleshooting like trying a different USB port if the first one doesn't work the first time.......

[Q] HELP! Download Mode not connecting to mac or win

Hi,
I actually have a really really weird issue with my I9000.
I was trying to recover it fro the known mmcblk0p1 issue.
So I went back to stock firmware even if I knew it would bootloop. All good.
After some days I discovered that I can access either stock recovery and download mode, but the last one won't connect to my computer!!!
I tried a lot of things: changing cable, usb ports, os, computer etc.... nothing works cause the problem is inside the i9000.
So, I'm now thinking in flashing something from the 3e stock recovery, which is the only option I have before a trash the phone...
What do I have to flash? Kernel? Can somebody link me a solution?
Thanx and Happy easter!!!1

Hi Foongaz,
Have you tried using the latest version of Odin? The bootloop is likely caused from a problem with the installation of the rom/kernel or from forgetting to factory reset and wiping cache.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanx for the answer.
I tried also Odin 3.09 and 3.07.
My problem now it's not the bootloop but the download mode which is not recognized from the computer.
Odin and Heimdall are probably not a usable tool here.
The only thing which works is the stock recovery, so I may have to install something via update.zip

I see that there is a problem with the i9000 where odin can not detect the device once your phone has been flashed several times. This has happened to my phone before and heimdall (via cmd command) seemed to do the trick. I haven't tried flashing a rom via the stock recovery as the phone needs to be rooted beforehand. You can try renaming zip and flash it but I doubt that this will fix your problem. Try heimdall first, download the latest heimdall suite. Make sure you have the latest usb drivers for your phone using zadig. Then download the latest semaphore kernel which is a .tar folder and inside should have zImage. Move the zImage file into the extracted heimdall folder. Follow the guide over at Cyanogenmod: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd

Same problem as Odin and Heimdall (suite and frontend):
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.
This happens with three computers: macbook, imac and parallels windows with odin. None of them can recognize I'm in download mode. WTF....
I'm thinking about throw the phone or maybe buying a i9000 broken glass one.
BTW I tried also to rename a .zip file but nothing works, I guess also for the mmc01 problem...
I'm lost....

I guess this is the only pic which makes sense to provide.
As u can see, I can wipe and reset to data factory, but i cannot format internal SD.
Update.zip won't install for this reason of course....
My last thought is: and if I format an Ext SD with these partitions?
-1 reiser
-1 fat fot OS
-1 fat fot update.zip
will the stock recovery let me install the OS on the external SD?
thanx

I know I may sound a little stupid here, but if you have an SD card, try reflashing Stock firmware after removing your SD Card through Heimdall. That fixed my problem. Also, You could always try going to the nearest Samsung Service Center. They always fix your stuff. They'll fix your issue for $3
Before you take it to the nearest Samsung Service Center try this, remove battery and simcard then hold buttons for download mode then replace battery while holding buttons.
EDIT: sorry didn't read all the post, so you can get into download mode but your computer doesn't recognize it.

Can't flash ROM: Wipe all and don't have OS

Hi there.
I recently flashed the OmniROM to my i8190, but since it got several issues, after two weeks i decided to flash stock ROM.
So i enter TWRP recovery and wipe all data on the smartphone, but then my computer crashed and lost the VM that got Odin and drivers etc. so in a new VM i decided to try to flash, but now i can't.
Odin doesn't recognize my i8190, i thought ADB sideload could do the trick following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200but all i got was:
error: device not found
Now i ended up with a pretty brick hahaha.
How can i flash a ROM ..ANY to my phone.
I got another i8190 so i installed the drivers from it to the VM, all except the MTP device, that got error.
I also installed SAMSUNG drivers, but nothing, ... i'm kind of losing it now hahaha.
Can someone helpe me flash this thing?
a) I CAN enter TWRP Recovery
b) I CAN enter Download Mode
c) Don't know if Odin doesn't pick it up since USB Debug i presume it's not on, but then again, since no OS is installed, i don't know how to turn it on from recovery or something like it.

Try another usb port and/or another usb cable. Also make sure that nothing with kies is runnung in background if you happens to have that installed.
When you connect with adb, also take a look on your phone screen if it asks for authorization to connect.
You got both download and recovery so problem is with connection/drivers.

Try this :
If you have an external sdcard in your s3 mini then :
1. remove it and put it into a other phone
2. download a ROM and move the ROM what you downloaded to your external sdcard
3. Put the external sdcard back to your s3 mini
4. Go to recovery and choose "install from external sdcard"
5. And intstall the ROM
6. Done! You have a OS again.
It's very easy and if you don't have a external sdcard then you have a big problem bro

If you have an adapter (micro SD to SD) then you should be able to insert the card into a card reader. This will probably be easier than trying to find another phone.

Yeah i did this, but no luck at all.
Finally i change the usb driver, installed Kies again and voilá! Odin picked up the phone and flash were on .
Thanks to all.
Glad you've got it sorted.
I've noticed my PC wants to install drivers for the phone almost constantly. Every small change seems to result in a change of driver. It can be frustrating.

due to windows updates this should be expected that certain third party software like the drivers would need updates
so that leaves two choices
either keep your stuff up to date
or
get left behind and drowned in problems

You need to flash via Odin, you can't flash it with recovery.
You need to put the device in download mode not recovery.

Is this device running lollipop or marshmallow?
I'm afraid there's not much can be done with this tablet if it's stuck in demo mode.
The normal procedure is to install twrp then factory reset and then flash stock firmware.
However because this device has a locked bootloader you won't be able to flash anything custom such as recovery.
There's a chance that if this device is running lollipop you can try and root with kingroot then follow the procedure to convert to supersu.
With that you can install Flashfire then factory reset and install the stock firmware with that.

Phone won't turn on after trying to install a custom rom

Hi,
my Note 9 started having some signal issues on 3G and LTE network since Android 10 and I wanted to solve this problem by installing an Android Pie firmware but it didn't work, so I've decided to install a custom ROM from Dr.Ketan and I was following the instructions from a YT video and I think I've mistaken something, because after installing/flashing (I don't know the right word for this) that CP and BL files is Odin it started to reboot but can't and displayed this error when it tried to turn on: kernel rev check fail device 6 binary 5 . I have the stock Android 10 firmware from SAMMOBILE but I can't install it because I can't get to the download mode because as I wrote I can't turn on the phone because of the mentioned error.
So my question is what should I do to fix this problem? If there isn't any solutions for this problem I'll take it to a service but if there is a solution I'll try to fix it for myself.

No, I can't.
You probably was trying to odin earlier version of bootloader over a new one.
Find the latest firmware for your phone in sammobile. Extract BL and flash again.
Even when you turn on the phone and there is whatever error shown just flash it with odin. That should work normally. Or you can flash the whole firmware if you want.
try holding vol down+bixby button and plug in your usb cable to computer ?

Phone not detected? You sure it's not usb driver problem? Too bad because whatever the error is, should still be flashable with odin.
