[Q] Bricked Device? - Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

Hi,
I have tried to Root my GT-N5100 with the ToolKit 1.1.0.
Now it will not reboot anymore.
I can turn the device on, it will start but it does not boot into Android.
I can also get the device into Odin mode or recovery mode.
Also I wiped the device, but still not booting.
Any hints what I need to do?
Thanks in advance

Ok, up and running again.

The fix?
Can you give more details about how you got the tablet "up and running again." It might help others in a similar situation.
Thank you.

[Q] Stuck in Odin Mode after trying to download and install Stock 4.2

Hello everyone
After being prompted with the option to download and install stock Android 4.2 I pressed the respective button but instead of having an updated system my phone is now stuck Odin Mode.
I'm facing the following situation:
- When trying to boot into fastboot mode the phone shows the Android guy and says "Downloading Do not turn off target".
- When rebooting it, the Google logo shows up and nothing else happens.
- When I connect it to the computer [in fastboot mode] it says that the OMAP4440 drivers could not be installed.
- It is not recognized by the toolkit.
Before I've tried updating to the recommended stock rom I was running some early 4.2 release. My bootloader was unlocked and my phone rooted. CWM 6 was installed.
I'm pretty much screwed right now, no matter what I do, my phone is not recognized by the toolkit and stuck in Odin mode.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out!
Thanks in advance.
Rob
Just thinking aloud... have you tried connecting it to another computer in fastboot mode?
Not yet, unfortunately I have no other computer to my direct disposition (except the university ones). Also, I would also have to install the drivers which apparently fails for the one I need.

1) that isnt fastboot mode. fastboot mode is pressing and holding vol up AND down and the power button
Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to boot into fastboot mode - CWM is gone, the only option available is "Start".
My phone still doesn't get recognized, the error I get from Windows is "unable to install galaxy nexus bootloader driver".

sigh. use the volume buttons to select recovery mode.
just that screen however is fastboot. as far as the driver thing, you need to install the driver manually. follow step A: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

Thanks for your reply. The problem is, that navigating by means of the volume buttons didn't work. But at least my phone got recognized in fastboot mode. I'll try to reinstall the stock rom now.
Once the computer can communicate with the phone in fastboot, you are golden... just make sure you flash the right radio.
Managed to flash Stock 4.2.1 and everything works fine
Thanks a lot for your help guys!

Galaxy Tab S bootloader not accessible help!

Hi, i successfully rooted my Galaxy tab s 8.4 with the root method discussed on the development
section. I am using a stock rom. the tablet runs fine with the OS. I decided to try a custom rom.
I have tried everything to get into bootloader, the power button with the volume keys gets me to
the "downloading target the android guy logo. I do not get the screen that gives me the options
to select recovery, bootloader or reboot screen. I have all the drivers installed. fast boot fails.
I dont know what else to. I have tried loading thru TWRPa rom and i get a sig verification.
i have heard what an ADB sodeload but not sure if that will help. Any recommendations would
be appreciated.
thanks!

tried this yet?
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
I have the same problem, I'm trying to simply get fastboot access to install CWM instead of TWRP. bootloader command in adb does absolutely nothing, just reboots into the OS. Also, running quickboot with root permission does the same thing. The bootloader just seems to be gone, but the tablet works flawlessly.
Same problem with mine.
My Galaxy Tab S 8.4 was bought from HK.
Same here. Sadly there is no option to use fastboot with this device. The only solution is to flash via Odin.
Cheers
reboot download * NOT * reboot bootloader

[Q] Bricked Tablet - Downloading only

Hi Guys,
After playing with a lot of different roms on this tablet, i was content with CM12. I thought also now would be a good time to update TWRP from the ROM itself. So, i downloaded the TWRP manager, told it my device and told it to update. It asked me if the location for recovery was ok, and i (assumed....so its me being stupid) told it it was.......
Now my tablet wont boot anymore, i only get to see the "downloading" screen with the android dude. I love the android dude, but not so much that he's all i want to see
I tried using odin to re-apply the TWRP file from there, but it just is stuck at "initialization". I tried doing the same with the stock firmware from Sammobile, but the same thing happens.
I know there HAS to be a way to get it working again as it is still powering on...but i am running out of ideas. Can anyone please help me? If you're in town i will treat you to a nice Jopen bier
Thanks guys,
Yves

What Device you have? When you flash TWRP with Odin, do you uncheck Auto Reboot? I always uncheck it then power off then press Power, Home and Vol up to boot TWRP. Maybe no help.

Sorry, Samsung galaxy tab pro 10.1, sm-t520 aka picassowifi.
Auto reboot does not change anything... Still stops at 'initialization'.
I cannot get anywhere else but the downloading screen...
Thanks so far
I know you can't take the battery out but I been reading to let it die. Then plug it in works for some.
Note 4 Port Evolution 3.0
I drained it...when I get home I will try the Odin method. I'm starting to worry though....
Thanks again
Thanks for your help guys! The battery drain did the trick! I successfully installed the new TWRP and new CM 12.1
Thanks guys!

How to drain battery?
Good to hear it worked for you but how did you drained the battery. I dont know how to drain it if I cant use the tablet ( and I believe my tablet is fully charged)
I am in a similar situation.
I have SM-T900 (Galaxy Tab PRO 12.2) and when I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 (for v2wifixx) for the first time over the stock recovery. It was successful and booted into recovery, but then it was not able to wipe any data. It gave some errors which I do not remember right now.
Then I tried re-flashing the same but it is not booting back into recovery, anymore after more than 5 attempts. When am re-flashing the TWRP, it is showing SUCCESS in Odin but the device is not booting into recovery. Current situation is that I cannot power it off nor boot into recovery. All it is allowing me is to get into download mode. Also, I have Kies 3/Smart Switch installed and NONE of them is recognizing the device in download mode either. However, am able to login to the download mode and reflash the twrp recovery image file.
Currently, opened the back cover and removed the battery connector and re-connected it and that is only way I could get the power off. I will try to re-flash TWRP again in the evening today.
I am posting here to ask for any other ideas. Is there anything else that I can try?
Thanks.

Finally fixed the issue.
I downloaded the firmware from www.sammobile.com for SM-T900 (Cellular South) having the PDA version as T900UEUBOI2 and this is for US. I downloaded the latest (v5.1.1) as of this writing.
I switched ON the tab in download mode and connected to computer using the USB. It appeared in Odin (I used v3.10.7). I flashed the firmware file downloaded (link in above para) and it roughly took 3 mins to show SUCCESS. Since, I selected the Auto Reboot in Odin, it tried to reboot but the device has been going through bootloop. At this point, I powered OFF the device and tried to boot into recovery. After couple of trials, it booted into recovery. I did a "wipe data - factory reset" an rebooted the device and it worked guys. I finally happy to see the device coming back to life.. however with the stock rom. However, I did not root the device as of this writing.
It worked finally. Hope this would help others.

Hi I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM12 on my Tab pro 8.4 wifi. Left it untouched for a month or 2. That mean battery fully drained. Then I tried to charged but no luck. The tab only shows a hollow grey battery icon with a static circle in the middle. Cannot boot to recovery mode but only download mode. No charging at all.
I tried the button combo like holding down power + vol up 20s, etc. No luck. I then bought a battery and changed it....shxt, same!
Then I used KIES to flash stock rom. A bit better now I can see the samsung text but freezed there. Anyone can help?

OnePlus 3 will NOT turn on under any circumstances

Hi guys, my OnePlus 3 will not turn on at all. It does not boot into recovery mode, fast boot mode or regular booting up. No matter what button I press/press and hold, it does not turn on. I can also confirm that the screen is working and it doesn't have that display issue, it's literally off and won't turn on under any circumstances. What do I do? I've plugged it into my Windows PC and it detected my phone but it won't show anything about the phone at all. Please help me, I've been at this for over a week. How did this happen? It started with my flashing CM13 with GAPPS (Google Apps) and that worked successfully. I then tried to flash CM14 without GAPPS because I was too excited (stupid me) and now if I try to boot into recovery mode it won't boot up into anything at all. Please help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Search for the Hard Bricked thread by Naman Bhalla and use it. The links in it may point to older versions, so find out if any later versions are available.

If pc detects phone try /adb devices ,if it detects phone, go like this: /adb reboot bootloader then it should reboot into fastboot. If so try fastboot flash recovery "yourrecovery.img" (I suggest stock recovery of oos you had before brick). The next step, if you boot into recovery is to adb sideload stock oos. Command for that is /adb sideload "youroosfile.zip"
You need to use Msmdownloadtool to go back to stock because you are stuck in EDL(qualcomm emergency download mode), check Mega unbrick guide and use method 2 to go back to stock, and i guarantee it will work 100%.

[Solved] Alternating between TWRP and Samsung logo

Hi,
I was running LineageOS on my Galaxy Tab S tablet (SM-T800). I tried to update LineageOS. I went into the settings and downloaded the lastest version. However, the installation didn't go through. The download was successful, but an error message told me to try and manually install the update. I tried to go into TWRP mode to install manually the update. Instead of going in the recovery mode, I saw a TWRP app on the Google Play store. I tried and install that app. It went ok, however, I needed to reboot my tablet to finish. I did so, but after that, I got stuck in booting mode, between the TWRP logo and the Samsung logo. So the tablet was trying to boot in TWRP mode, but after about 5 seconds on the splash screen of TWRP, the spalsh screen disapear and then the tablet tries to boot in normal mode. It doesn't work, and the tablet reboots in TWRP mode, but, again, unsuccessful. It's a loop, alterning between the two splash screens.
I tryed to go into download mode and flashed the stock ROM (found on Updato) while using Odin on my computer. It worked. However, after the process, my tablet got stucked on the Samsung logo only. Now, it doesn't go in recovery mode (TWRP). I can only go in download mode or regular mode (but not working). Only the download mode works.
I don't really know waht to do. I tryed to redo the process with Odin and the custon ROM, but it didn't work better.
What can I do?
Thank you very much for your help!

Have you tried to reflash twrp via odin ? If that works go into twrp reformat your partitions, then flash a custom rom.
Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin on my computer. The process went well, but the reboot of my tablet that occurs at the end of the process got stuck again on the Samsung logo. It didn't get to TWRP mode. I tried to go manually into recovery mode by holding power+vol up+home, but it didn't work.
What else can I try? Thank you,

Are you trying to get to twrp from powered off state ? If not , get to power off state, then use key combo again to try to get into twrp.
Also when you flash twrp, in odi , there is a setting to prevent auto reboot, use that and try to get to twrp via key combo from download. Mode., finally tripple chech the key combo you are using is correct
Hi,
Thanks for the help. I tried to get to TWRP from power off state. The TWRP splash screen appears, and stays on for about 5-10 sec. After that, the splash screen disappear and the tablet reboot to get stuck on the Samsung logo again. It's like if the TWRP booting process doesn't go through...
Thanks again for your help,
Ouch !!
Looks like you got a real problem , and getting into territory I'm not expert in, Ashyx is the real authority with twrp for this device, you can try to pm him and hope he takes pity on you ( he has been helping guys on this qa thread tirelessly for over a year, and is prob taking a well deserved break ).
Otherwise a few more suggestions,
Maybe your PIT is messed up , ( but you prob would not make it to twrp splash screen in that case )
Twrp may still be trying to execute the script from the original linage update and not finding something bails ( total guess ).
Try flashing a stock ( downloaded from sammobile or somwhere you trust ) rom via odin, and see if you can get into the stock recovery. From there do a factory reset and see if you can get stock running.
Try getting into twrp with device connected to pc ( helped in some wierd cases, you never know lol ).
When TWRP splash screen comes up, try some key combos , maybe twrp checks for a script abbort key combo ?
Checkout the TWRP github issues page, see if your bug is there and a solution, create a bug report or mail a dev directly.
Have a look at the TWRP code, maybe some clues ??
Hi,
So not much development here...
I tried to download the stock ROM for my device from Sammobile and tried flashing it with Odin (JOdin actually, I'm on Mac), but it says it need a PIT file. I let Casual fin the PIT file and it finds it. Only, after that my device does not reconnect to Odin even though it's still plugged in my computer. I tried to unplug it then plug it back, but then Odin says the PIT file is corrupted. I tried to restart my device, but still not connecting to Odin...
I tried getting into TWRP with my device connected to my computer. Still the same problem of rebooting while TWRP is booting (while it's on splash page).
No combo key seems to work to keep TWRP open and loading...
Didn't find anything on TWRP github and I'm not saavy enough to look into TWRP code.
So, I'm still stuck with my initial problem. Do any of ou have some advices/suggestions or can help me with my problem please? At this point, I've been without my tablet for more than a month and it S**KS!!
Thanks in advance everyone,

Use ODIN via Windows or a VM on your Mac.
Flash stock firmware then boot to recovery and factory reset.
Reboot and wait ten minutes.
Hi, thanks a lot for your time.
I will try that at work tomorrow as I don't have Windows at home. However, I did try to flash stock ROM with Windows initially (see first post for more info) and it didn't solve my problem. I wasn't able to access recovery mode after the stock ROM was flashed. Hope it's gonna work now and I'll be able to factory reset.
I'll let you know tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,
