My t999 is running on root box custom ROM. I can tell this ROM is quite stable but after 3 weeks of using, I turned off the phone and now it won't boot up. I didn't flash or anything. It still vibrates if I try to turn on with the power button. Any idea what happen?
Is it plugged into a charger port? Unplug after letting it charge for 10 minutes, hold power until vibrate let go. If not that then might be the recently popular dying S III issue.
Update. it doesnt let me boot into safe or download mode.

Just use odin from there, read up and do the process. Make sure you have it on the charger while it's sitting. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

This guide will get your phone back up and running properly
Follow the instructions below.
Easy and sure way fix your problem - Here is s step by step guide:
Download this pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean v4.1.2 rom: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22946563261203914
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up, then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

So I have liquid smooth 4.2.2 installed with along of Clockworkmod recovery. However this morning i recieved a notification saying that i had a gapps update. so i I went ahead and downloaded the zip file. When attempted to install, it asked if i have a recovery system or something like that. Me very ignorantly selected no and my phone guided me to download a different recovery. so i went ahead and installed it and after it booted i rkept on recieving a message that said unfortanely gapps has stopped. Then I thought that if i did a factory reset it would reset my whole phone and hopefully clear this error. I went ahead and pressed home, power and volume up and bam thats when i realized i overwrote my clockworkmod recovery with another recovery. It had to options to factory reset so i went ahead and tried it anyways. when the phone booted i still recieved the error message but this time it also had the message "setup wizard has stopped." im stuck with the screen you get when you intiially set up your phone and i can't do anything about it. I try pressing home, volume up, and the power button but it doesnt bring me to the recovery screen. Instead it just loads back to the initial setup screen after a while. When i try plugging it in the computer it doesnt not read. I cant do anything. Please help me! I just got the phone about a couple months ago and am to poor to buy another one.
Did you try going to download mode by holding volume down + home + power buttons?

ok future fix for anyone interested, it was the actual rom since it would do if even after a battery pull and even before it actually boot up, for some reason my power button I guess it was "stuck" so I open my galaxy up and took out just the plastic parts their is two, and took out the plastic power button, then I blew on the power button and I blew it with some air compressed air that you use for PC's and i pressed it with a needle just to make sure it worked installed the power button again and everything again and phone works better than before
OK I have a Galaxy Tab3 GT-P5210, I have developer usb debugging enabled, I have the Samsung KIES package installed on my PC and I've downloaded Odin307, the TWRP package and the ROOT package that is well documented in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2525630
The problem I'm having is with the step that says:
Power down your device and put it into download mode. To do this, press and hold the Home + Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds until you see the warning screen.
When I do this it goes into something called 'Android System Recovery <3e>" with a prompt that says "# MANUAL MODE #" with the following options:
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
and it does not show up in Odin so I cannot get further...how can I resolve this?
as a rant here, I really wish Google would mandate that all providers supply an option to root the device and install stock Android...this nonstop jumping thru hoops just to have basic control over a device you spent good money on is ****ing stupid
Found your problem!

Hey man download mode is where you flash custom recoveries and custom or stock Roms on your device. The answer to you for download mode is your not holding it down enough. first power off the device. Second hold these buttons all together: power + Volume Down + home button. Keep holding these buttons for a minimum of 10-15 seconds or more and it will go into download mode. From there you open up Odin on your pc and then you should see in a box your com port this means your connected. From there you it PDA and you select your recovery file. It should end with
.md5! Make sure re-partition is not checked or you will brick your device! Now it start and once it's done it will say Res OK. Good luck!

You know what it was? Its a brand new tablet for me and so when it is held lengthwise (like you'd hold a phone normally) the Vol+ button is at the BOTTOM, not the top like every phone I've ever owned. So I was holding Vol- instead and that's why it wasn't working for me...boneheaded mistake but thanks for the reply...I can now boot it into Download mode ...though I still can't get Odin to recognize it
thanks for the reply

After trying some different things I got Odin working, was able to install TWRP and root the device so that's all good
Now I've downloaded the framework-res.apk and decompiled it, modded it as i wanted to and recompiled using the Android Multitool app and the final issue I'm having is pushing the new framework-res.apk back to the device. The Android Multitool app claims it pushes the file but it does not. So I downloaded the latest sdk and I'm going to try using the raw ADB tool to push the file and see if that works...wish me luck
You can use twrp file manger to do that.
Just copy your file to sdcard while connected to pc and then reboot to recovery use file manager in advanced settings. Find your file and copy it to where ever you need it.
My Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 doesn't do anything when I tap the "Reset Device" icon.
When I load it in Recovery Mode, it shows the "Andy" the Android guy with a red "warning sign" over it, and then my device restarts.
Any suggestions/solutions?
Can't upload pictures at the moment to show what I mean because I don't have enough posts =/
"Reset Device" icon?
if you think the device is corrupt boot to fastboot mode and flash the firmware again using odin or the samsung software.

It would say after the start up that the memory is damaged and there's an icon or button below it that says "Reset Device" and tapping that button does nothing.
I'm currently trying to flash a firmware (if I'm using the correct term), by going into fastboot mode. I found the firmwares on theandroidsoul.com and tried all 4 firmwares and got mmc_write fail on the tablet and fail on Odin.
I installed the Samsung drivers, restarted my laptop, everything. Still nothing.
What is the Samsung software that you mentioned and where can I find it?

Yeah, I visited Sammobile but clicking on regular download doesn't do anything. Clicking on Fast Download takes it to their payment plans page.
I created an account and I still can't click on regular download.
EDIT: I just saw the notice that there's maintenance until the 28th, but premium downloads are still available. Looks like I'll have to wait until then.

If you can get a stable connection, flash the TAR file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
My post has the latest TAR and instructions for flashing using Odin, including a link to a video.
Something must've happened when you turned off Developer mode or somehow got your OEM Unlock unchecked. One of the reasons that an FRP Lock happens is when OEM Unlock isn't checked whilst having a Custom Binary / Custom Software installed.
Turn off your device, press and hold Vol Down + Home Key + Power Button to get into Download mode, Press Vol Up to continue towards download mode.
Download Samsung drivers from Samsung support website, search SM-G920P, and look for v1.5.45.0 for mobile phone
Download Samsung Odin v3.10.7 or which ever preferred version of your choosing.
Download the QB1 Marshmallow TAR or the Nougat Tar from koop1955's post in the general's section thread
Load Samsung Odin in administrator mode, select AP and load the TAR file that you chose, attach your device to the PC and let it load ( COM:## within Samsung Odin )
Start process, should be a 5~10 minute tar install process. Once this process is done the Odin installer will say PASS! in green and your device should automatically reboot if you have auto reboot checked within Odin's Options tab.
