I flashed Hard SPL 1.34 then upgraded the radio to 25.05 then put on Bepe's 0.95 ROM
It worked for a while, then started to crash and needed to press the reset button to boot it up.
Now it won't move from the Touch Diamond startup screen when I boot it up, then turns off. Can't hard reset, and can't enter bootloader.
Any ideas? I just suddenly did this, also, it doesn't have the original vendor ROM on it so if I send it back, what's the chances of them getting into it and then saying a big FO because I messed with it?

What happens when you try to enter bootloader mode? Have you tried removing the battery for a while?
bootloader is volume down and reset yes?

Yes, korrect
diddly squat, not even any ROM id's coming up on boot screen. I think it's bricked
Hard reset is volume down + enter (round key) and red reset button. Keep down the first two until you see the reset screen

Can you be a little more descriptive? What exactly happens? Does the phone reset at all?
Did you hold volume down for a few seconds? Just pressing it while you hit the reset button is not enough. You need to hold it down until the tri-color bootloader appears. That's usually around 5 seconds.
Edit:
Clarification: You press volume down and hold it. Then you shortly push down the reset button with the stylus, while still holding the volume down button. You can release the volume down button after the tri-color screen appears. (or after 10 seconds if it's really not coming up)
Should it come up, you can use the chance to flash another ROM. If that's giving you trouble, see the link in my signature.
Ok, here's what happens
If I press the power button, it vibrates, Touch Diamond comes up, no ROM info, stays for a few seconds, disappears, phone is then off again.
Holding volume down, pressing reset button, nothing happens, phone doesn't power on, volume down held for 10 seconds, nothing happens
Holding volume down and action button, then pressing reset button, again nothing happens at all.
I successfully hard resetted the phone with the official ROM, but since installing Bepe's 0.95 I hadn't attempted a hard reset, but I had rebooted the phone successfully before this problem occured
Okay, in the off state the reset button will not function.
What you could try is turning it on and immediately afterwards follow the bootloder-procedure.
Also I did a quick search. The following threads might or might not be related and help you (I didn't read them, too late for me tonight):

I realize they're for different phones, but that might not make such a big difference in this case...
also, can you confirm that you successfully flashed hard-spl before this? as in, you manually went to bootloader and saw that it had changed to hard spl?
Try this....
might seem stupid but your phone is also acting as it would with a 99% flat battery........phone just starts then dies.......
Stupid question......put it on charge for a couple hours...you never know....it might be the problem you have
Well I came to start it up this morning after leaving it on a shelf all night with distain and it booted up fine.
So I'm going to flash the official ROM, and other stuff back to factory and send it back. there's obviously something wrong with it somewhere.
Thanks for all the help guys, let's hope my next diamond is a bit more well behaved.
phone does not boot up
Hi, i got a prob with my phone, when i power it on it gives me that display with the 4 colors(red,green,blue and white), i have tried hard reset but it does not help, can anyone assist.
Hi,
I am facing a problem with my Tmobile DASH.It got suddenly bricked.Hard reset didn't work.It freezes when it gets booted at the Tmobile screen before loading the windows mobile screen itself.I tried to flash the ROM by holding the camera key and plugging the USB cable.I got tri color screen (bootloader) and tried to install the ROM from Tmobile itself.It got installed to 100%. and got switched off automatically.When I tried to power on it is not powering on,battery is fully charged.(even I can't make it to bootloader screen),please HELP me....
Someone..please HELP me
depanding on the rom u use, it might be other key combination for the boot loader. try holding the center key and press the on off for LESS then 3 sec. its either that or the two soft keys + the power on off, again for less then 3 sec
thanks Eran.I tried with the options you have mentioned but still facing the same issue..the phone is not turning ON..I flashed the ROM with this version
T-Mobile_Dash_Software_Update_1.22.531.4.
Same problem here, but I was flashing one of the other new ROMs. Other than that, same issues and same result. Any chance you fixed it? I am hoping it just screwed my battery and I can buy another....
I upgraded from 2.51.1 to 3.4.2-117, and the phone lags, seems to me that it is because of the google sync. Someone posted the very same problem and said that factory reset solved his problem.
My problem is that the phone does not do factory reset, in Privacy I press the erase button and nothing happens.
I tried to boot into recovery, but I can't get into it. The droid comes up but upon touching the lower right corner nothing happens.
When i try to boot with vol up and down same time, the phone boots into safe mode.
How shall I get into recovery so I could do a wipe? The phone is basically unuseable now because of the lags and freezes
Hey mate! Don't give up. When you see the droid in the center of the lcd just push vol+ and vol- at once. You'll get into recovery mode. )))
thx dude, i figured it out "accidentaly"
Everyone was writing on the net that the recovery boot is up and down the same time instead of the old method of power & volume -.
So, when I got to the droid, started to push every possible button in every possible variation and I got in.
since then I learned that the vol up and down is after power & vol -, not instead.
Hello Everyone!
First of all, let me say that i'm desperately in need of help with my phone. Here's what happened to it so everyone knows.
My Phone was bought in UAE and was given to me, i live in the Philippines and it was working fine, i can use it on everyday tasks Until, a few days ago my phone performed updates (auto updates) which made it froze, i tried to press and hold the power button but it doesn't turn off. I removed the battery and restarted my phone then all i get is the Boot screen. I went to recovery mode to perform a wipe/factory reset. it returned with a lot of errors about files missing, etc etc...
At that point i thought that my phone might have been updating the OS when it froze so i DLed a stock firmware because i can still go to download mode.
After a day (crappy internet + limited download speed from sammobile) i finished the firmware download then tried going to download mode on my phone but now, my phone doesnt turn on at all. when i press and hold power+down vol+home nothing happens. i tried going back to recovery mode and still nothing happens. Even if i just press the power key nothing happens at all. I tried charging the phone but its not charging as well, The Battery Icon is not showing on the screen anymore but after minutes f charging i can feel my phone getting warmer.
Anyone experienced this issue before or knows how to fix it? i do not believe that the battery died because it was working just a day before.
Any help and TIPS would greatly help.
again: I cannot go to download/recovery mode nor go to the boot screen.
Hello there,
Try to connect your phone to PC and press power button / vol / home button simultaneously, if PC still recognize your phone, then you still got chance to recover it using Octoplus software?
Hi all, my Tab S 10.5 (T800) was running stock MM with no root. I tried using the Adoptive storage enabler patch from this site. After installing the TWRP using Odin and flashing the adoptable storage patch, I am stuck in that stupid reboot loop. I did selected "Allow modification to system partition..." in TWRP. I managed to apply the batch and after a number of attempts boot successfully, changed to internal storage etc but still getting random reboots all the time now. Read more on the site; then did cache clear, factory reset via recovery and then also flashed back stock MM firmware - everything successful but still getting random reboots.
Just to mention, the tablet has recently had a brand new original battery so that is not the problem. It was working fine before I attempted the TWRP/Adoptive storage patch or stock firmware flash and now getting random reboots (sometimes right at startup logos and sometimes soon after booting up).
This appears to be a very common one on these Samsung tablets so no clear reason anywhere why it happens. Any suggestion for a quick fix for this please. I am getting random reboots at the moment all the time since I tried flashing the recovery/patch/stock firmware. Any help would be appreciated please...
update
Just to provide quick update and info:
Purely by hit and trial, I have found that if I keep hold of the power button (pressing it constantly since power up), it goes past the initial boot loop consistently and boots the device up. But then, once it hits the limit for holding the power button (think 30 secs), it vibrates and turns itself off (which I think is normal behaviour). So I thought this is interesting to share as not something I have read anywhere else. Not sure what difference it makes to the startup by holding down on the power button but that does not appear make it loop. Of course, this is not a solution as the tablet eventually shuts down after 30 secs of holding the power button.
The power button itself seems fine and not broken/damage or anything - clicks fine and solid and works fine every time. Also the random restarts does not happen in recovery/download mode so I take it the power button is not faulty as else, it should be happening for everything.
Again, requesting everyone for some help please as I am a bit stuck what to try next.... thanks in advance!
anyone pls...?
Bump again... in the hope one of the experts will jump in to help!!
Thanks in advance
I'm experiencing the same exact issue, The tablet will power up to the setup screen and I can almost finish the setup process but then it vibrates and powers down. PLEASE... someone, chime in and help with this problem.
Thanks In Advance
