Hard bricked - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So...
The device wouldn't turn on. I'm assuming it's hard bricked. Just got it like 2 months ago. Any ideas what I should do?
Thanks

If you didn't mod it just claim your warranty from Samsung.
Did you try plugging it in to the original charger for a few hours? Which device are you even talking about, those tabs are slightly different from each other

Please say what device you have and what steps you performed before it got in this state.

Not sure what Tab u have like others have said but when I had the 8.9 via AT&T I did something wrong when flashing after rooting. My tab would not come on either. I plugged it into an outlet and into the computer but nothing happened. I contacted Samsung and sent it in and they repaired it at no cost to me.

You will need to provide a bit more detail.
1. Did you mod it in any way at all? Root, custom recovery, etc.
2. Was it physically dropped?
3. Was the battery charged correctly? Via cable plugged to wall, not via usb to PC
4. Any strange behaviour prior to latest shutdown?
The answers to these will likely hold the solution to your problem, friend.

Need help!!! Is my galaxy nexus dead???

hi everyone
last night i was just using my gnexus as usual, then all of a sudden the device just freezes and then proceed to emit a loud noise, like a "buuuzzz" nonstop..i coundt turn it off through the pwer button so i decided to remove the battery..reinsert it, and then can't turn it on again..
tried to conect to pc, the device is not recognized..
cant power on with the charger plugged in..tried another charger, no success
meanwhile i'm trying to put the battery on an external charger to see if its an issue with the battery itself..
i'm starting to think that my nexus is dead..
please if someone cound help me, it would be much appreciated. thx in advance!!!
sorry for my broken english, i'm from brazil
So it doesn't vibrate or anything? You can't get into bootloader? No Odin?
If no, then try OMAP flashing. I never did it, so I don't quite know about it, but apparently this saved some good amount of people with the hard bricking.
Do you have the ability to give it a try with another battery?

Not in the moment, but the battery just runs fine with an external charger. But i'll try to find another one available..
The thing that really bothers me is the no response when plugged to the pc. Am i mistaken, or it should beep when connected through usb(without the battery)?
have the device for TWO months..wow...

I had Similar issue with another phone. It was hardware related. Were you overclocked? Running custom Rom?
Are you under warranty?

Yeah I recently had something similar happen. Taking the battery out and plugging it into the computer did the trick and it booted back up. Something to try anyway.

Never messed with the clockspeed, however yes i'm using a custom Rom. Actually i've been using this for 3 days, no problems whatsoever. until now..do u think that's the cause? The phone is literally dead by now. Thats REALLY depressing. and the loud noise when it froze before it completely stopped working.. unbelievable

If it's dead go ahead and exchange of in warranty. The buzzing sound is a chip frying.

thx for the reply everyone!
So the strangest thing happened. i left the battery in the external charger for a full day..when a took it off and put it in the phone, pressed the pwr button with no sucess...nothing again...tried a couple of times..and yet nothing
five minutes later ,on a last ditch effort, pushed the pwer button once more and..FINALLY ! the thing wakes up..booted normaly, like nothing happened.
today when the battery runs out again(on about 2 %) i turned it off and connected the usb cable to charge in my work's pc..now again the same thing happens, phone is dead again. tried with 2 different cables..battery is already in the external charger, gonna try again tomorrow..
starting to think the problem is in the usb connector or the battery itself..but at least my biggest fear(fried phone) seems less likely

[Q] Nexus doesn't get power anymore when on

Hi guys,
Since yesterday my Gnex doesn't get power from the adapter anymore when it's turned on. Only if I shut it down, it will get power.
Also when I connect it to the computer, it says: "device is not recognized".
Can anyone help me?

i don't know, your phone is dying?
those of us who have never experienced that particular behaviour, we need something more.
please provide more information; ac/usb charging or both? other charger/cable? running stock, stock+custom kernel, custom rom? list the apps you have installed. fastcharge y/n? if you turn it on after it begins to charge, does it keep charging? have you tried another battery? how do the pins/usb port on the device look: dirty, bent, any kind of damage?
Before thiis happened, I didnt change much things at my nexus. I use AndroidHD rom for quite a while now, and didnt install any new apps.
I tried several chargers but nothing is working. Only of its off, but even then it says its charging but thats not the case all the time.

reflash stock images if you want, relock bootloader, turn it in for warranty, if you checked usb port state.

The problem is that my pc doesn't recognize the phone as a usb-device anymore, so it will be hard to change it back to stock and locked bootloader. Or do you think there is a way? I would like to here it
I also tried different chargers, but it doesn't change anything unfortunately.
Thnx for trying to help guys, it's appreciated.

I've looked at the post, re-locked the bootloader --> that worked.
Now I want to download the ODIN.tar files for de Odin Mobile app, but I can only find the .tar files voor Verizon models.. I however have a GSM model from a Dutch carrier.
Do you have a link for ODIN.tar file(s) for the GSM version of the GNex?
Mine just started doing this as well.

You're not on your own. I'm having the exact same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. since a couple of days.
Only way I can charge it is by turning the device off. Then while its rebooting plugging it in.
I also have the 3 dot connect docking station. Same problem with that way of charging... So I know it is not the USB thats faulty.
My device is rooted. with superuser permission. no special rom. only a different launcher,
never had any problems with it. and I did not change anything in my phone for 2 weeks.
I have no clue how to relock my bootloader without USB.
Casparovic i have a GSM model too. also from a Dutch carrier Vodafone.
Ill try Jubakuba his guide.
Well, I relocked the bootloader (without usb), but it's still not charging when turned on.
I can't figure out what it is. Also i can't send it to the carrier because it's rooted.
Can someone tell me how to go further?
I have the same issues, I just bought 3 spare batteries, and only 2 of them work on my Nexus. So basically I switch between the original battery and the extra battery I bought and charge them with wireless chargers. Very inconvenient, I hate samsungs absolute garbage quality, never again.... 6 years of a loyal HTC customer, guess this is what I get lol

Having the exact same problem. It won't charge when connected to the AC adapter as well as through USB. Computer doesn't always recognize it either.
It does charge however with my rocketfish car adapter and a BlackBerry ac adapter.
Not sure if this could related to the OS, currently running Cm10 v1.7. Or is it something else?

I have had the same problem running Jellybro and AOKP.
Only way to fix it for me was to go back to stock and wipe everything on the internal storage. Then unlock, root etc.. all the way back to whatever nightly I was running and put all my apps and data back on.
This has happened 3 times now in the past 2 months. I really panicked the first time!!
Also, sometimes I have had an issue with it showing that it was charging when nothing was plugged in! Same method to fix... oh well, the price for being a rom flash addict...
Mine randomly started working again. I've been on cm10 nightlies since they started, never changed the kernel. I also have 2 Hyperion 3800mah batteries and the stick battery. Everything charges like normal now.

Well I haven't been able to unroot my phone so I thought it just take my phone to my carrier and get it Fixed,
There the Tech guy Told me.. that you are alowed to root all nexus phone's. So basicly there is no need to be scared. just take your phone to your carrier and they will fix itt.:good:

Phone Wont turn on :(

So I updated my phone from CM10.1.0 to CM10.1.2 today. I used the updating feature found in settings.
Everything seemed to go well, the rom updated, phone rebooted, and 140 or so apps updated. Got to home screen and everything works fine. About 5 mins later the phone shuts down. I turn my phone on again, 1 app updates, and I get the home screen. I checked my email and such and put my phone in my pocket. About 5 mins later I notice my phone has turned off again, cept this time now it won't come back on :/
I've searched google and some people point to the battery being the culprit.
http://www.sebertech.com/2013/03/sam...-problems.html Issue #16
and
http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...turn-help.html
Both say to remove battery, plug the phone in, watch for the charging light to come on, then reinsert the battery. This doesnt work either.
If I take my battery out and plug in the charger, the charging light does come on. If I hold the power button down in this state after a few seconds the light will turn off until I release the power button. With the light on and after reinserting the battery the light goes back out after a few seconds. I just went and got a new battery, but thats not working either :/ I havent been able to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
If the update bricked my phone would it turn on and work just fine before dying? I used a data connection just fine after the update.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

The rom shouldn't be an issue at all because CMTeam... Why would they do such a thing.
When you updated from 1.0 to 1.2 did you:
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache before you updated.
reset permissions via Custom Recovery after update?
I saw a few people with S3's that went through exactly the same problem but it turns out the phone's main-board was fried because of a corrupted NAND right after a flash.
If there's no haptic feedback or led when you try to turn on the phone ( With a battery ), it's a possible brick but its not super-bricked.
If you put a usb / charger on the phone with no battery in it and it indicates a red LED. There is a possible 50/50 you can restore it but
it'll cost around some 40-60 bucks for having it JTAGGED.
If there is no LED when the phone's plugged to a charger wall port / USB via computer with no battery.
It is completely dead and you'd wanna send that in to get a brand new phone.
It just looks like you need it JTAG Repaired.
Hopefully others would have a better and possible way of finding what happened. Because mines would be a last resort
type of thing and its the only thing I know when the SIII Bricks after completely doing a clean flash or if the phone ends up dying
for no reason after a flash.

I used the method provided by CM found in settings -> phone info, like I have many many many times. I dont remember the full process, but I dont think those options are provided in that method, just download the rom then click update.

You claim it booted up after the flash and everything worked, so it can't be that you flashed a cm rom for a different device. It doesn't even attempt the boot splash?
Have you tried putting the battery in and plugging the charger for several hours? Could just be a bad usb port and or bad charger cable and your device simply is out of power. Find a different cable or charger all together and try see if anyone has a similar phone that you can try their battery in your phone.

Yeh, the fact that it started fine twice is what is baffling me. Though it did turn itself off after a few mins both times.
Yeh, I plugged the charger in overnight last night just in case. I took it to the sprint store where the guy took out my battery and tested it, he said it was bad and that was the issue. As of now I've tried 4 different batteries. My own, a new one I bought and fully charged and 2 borrowed from people at work.
That's really weird.... And none of the led come on at all? Really weird, it's not a brick issue because it would give some symptoms but it's like it's not getting power at all. It could just be a major hardware failure. The power button is defective on the S3 but it usually makes an attempt to turn on.

It really sounds like it flashed an International rom from those symptoms. But you said it turned on after the flash.

I've posted in the CM10.1 thread, I'm not sure if Ive heard anything from anyone on the CM team though. I guess it's possible they messed something up, but I havent seen anyone else with this issue and CM, so I'm guessing the issue is on my end.
I would let the phone sit on the charger and try to boot into recovery and try to flash a tw rom. If you haven't tried that already its worth a shot.

[Q] HELP! hOx wont turn on!

I was installing an app (swiftkey) and my phone froze. I manually tried rebooting but it wont turn on at all (not even bootloader). When I connect it to a power supply the LED doesn't even light up (although it had 25% battery before the problem). My phone definitely wasn't overheating (I checked immediately after to make sure nothing happened) and I wasn't OCing or anything.
Any ideas what to do?
Thanks in advance,

Is it recognized on a computer? Trying to rule out whether it's the QHSUSB_DLOAD issue that some people got, if it's recognized on a computer, and the driver installation says that, your phone's in usb download mode, as far as I know there are tools out there to kick the phone out of that mode, just not sure if it's for the One X.
P.S, what HOX is it? Because this only happens to the US variants

I was worried about the motherboard also although I cant believe I didnt think of checking the battery. I'll take apart the phone tomorrow see whats going on inside - thanks for the ideas.
Dead HOX
If you disassembly motherboard connect it to the PC . You should see it in control panel and also storage. Conect only battery and led diode should glow in red colour. If you end up with dead motherboard be carefull i bought one from ebay useless and 2 localy also useless. Unfortunately used motherboards on the market are mostly useless. Good luck.
Ok motherboards' gone.... I purchased a Nexus 5 32gb I think it should take my HoX's place nicely.
Thanks guys!

SOLVED: HELP NEEDED!!! Note 2 wont turn on. BadgeProvider and Samsung has stopped!!!!

As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????
Also to add to this, yesterday when I was taking the phone's battery out and in the phone would start booting by itself. Could this be a power button issue? I've only had the phone for about 10 months and never dropped it without the otterbox defender series on it.

From that statement above, having the otter box doesn't mean you'll be protected against drops. Yes it'll protect the phone but still suffered inside the device! I had a friend crack his screen on the corner, with an otter box on with one drop!
Now back to the phone:
Since you can get into recovery have you tried a factory data reset to see if that fixes your problem..

I plan to read all responses as soon as I can because I'm in dire need of help. The phone WILL NOT turn back on. The first day I had the problem it gave me the "BadgeProvider" has stopped working and also the "Samsung" has stopped working error messages. The only thing that was responsive was responsive was my notification bar. I could slide it down turn wifi on and off etc from there but when I hit the setting button on the notification bar it would not open up the settings immediately and there was maybe a 2 minute delay (I walked away from the phone and came back to it) and it would finally open it up but giving me the 2 error messages "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped working. Read online that clearing the BadgeProvider data under "Application Manager->All->BadgeProvider" would fix this issue so thats what I did. Wallah it worked fine.....fell asleep without my phone on the charger and it died but I have 5 batteries so who cares. Woke up noticed the phone was dead then I swapped batteries (OEM Samsung battery). Tried to turn it on and it will not turn on. Tried putting it on the charger (even though it should be a freshly charged battery) and the red charging light will not even come on. Tried to boot into recovery mode and still unresponsive.
As of now I CANNOT boot into revovery mode, turn on the phone in any way, get the charging light to come on when plugged in (I have 5 other batteries plus an external battery charger so its definitely not truely dead battery wise), I cannot get the phone to do anything what so ever. Tried removing external storage from it, tried removing sim, tried 5 different fully charged batteries and nothing.
Anyone that can give me some insight on what the problem may be and a possible solution I would greatly appreciate it.

True, true.....Or, they post the same question in five forums....lol.
What do you guys think about using Odin? Can he get into the phone if it won't go to recovery? Can you install TWRP or CWM, they may automatically set the phone to restart in recovery mode? Just some thoughts....I am not a dev., just an avid user.
Something here might help as well. :

Keep us posted on what you try, and your status. Good luck.
Also if it helps any, I have had my phone restart by itself randomly way before rooting it. After rooting I still had the restarts just as I have always had (maybe once every 3 weeks). Rooting it gave me no errors at all and it has been working fine for months being rooted. Not sure if letting you guys know of the restarting issue is going to help anything but I'm telling you all I know to try to debug this issue.

So there is no power at all, not even a loop. I had a similar problem with a LePan tab, but when I plugged it into my laptop via USB, it would start.....Sorry. Sounds hardware....
Good luck

As the title reads my Note 2 will not turn on. It will not go into recovery mode. I have 5 batteries and none of them are working. Yesterday I got 2 weird messages that "BadgeProvider" and "Samsung" has stopped. The phone started acting weird by not letting me use anything but the notification bar. I couldn't even turn it off using the power button. I removed the battery and reinserted the battery a couple of times and still it didn't work only letting me use the notification bar. Finally it started working for some random reason and I restarted the phone and all was well.
I'm so use to having 5 batteries that I did not have the phone on the charger last night and it died. Now the phone will not turn on at all. Not into recovery mode. Not normal mode. It is totally unresponsive. Tried rapidly touching the contacts with the battery contact and nothing. What can I do to get my phone working????????????

I did read the whole post, hence my reply. Towards the end of his post, he says that the phone won't turn on at all. Maybe you should read the whole post.

Thanks man. I'm thinking it's hardware too. Herd of motherboard problems early on with this phone that would cause it to randomly shut off and not come back on.
Has ANYONE had any experience with samsung repair centers???? Do they care if the device is rooted even if its a known hardware issue?
Thanks for any help

I've read a few people having that problem with the phone randomly turning off.
[Q] did you get the phone New or used? If its used you have a lot of people out there selling devices with problems that they couldn't fix! FYI
#2
Does it get recognized by the PC?
When you plug it in? If so then you should be able to try the Kies recovery!
If not then kies won't help..

I brought it directly from AT&T new. And nope. Tried pluggin it into the PC and not recognized. Tried Kies and Odin and neither had any affect. The phone is just completely unresponsive now.
Thinking about trying to take it to Samsung before AT&T so I can try to miss the deductible.
Remove the battery ...then plug the device in to USB connection with your PC...
Then attempt to boot the phone into download mode..
If successful ....then immediately push the rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinsons thread in the development section...
If no download mode exists while attempting boot with the battery removed ...then the likelihood of device damage is high...
This of course does not rule out the possibility of a stuck power button ...but that hardware failure generally presents a repeated and uncontrolled loop which in this case we are not seeing...
Odin mode failure generally means a defective or damaged Chipset...g

Ok since you want to take it in to Sammy. And you did state you got it New from the AT&T store. Then you can take it into one of the DSC. (Device support center)
Check HERE:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429&cv=820#fbid=CS_QLPeF54-
Hopefully there's one in your area. I have one like 10 mins away from me
Hopefully they can help you get back up and running. No charge either. It's a warranty center. Member no Rom talk in there.. LOL:sly:
But if they can't get it to turn on you'll be getting another the same day. Takes about a total of 15 minutes and you'll be on your way with your new toy!! Yay and good luck to you. Lety us know what you're outcome is!

Got a new phone. It was a painless process. Just walk in play dumb and talk as least as possible. They never asked a question about rooting. I'm guessing because I seemed like an idiot . Going to let it do all the updates it can then going to root it tomorrow using CFroot.
Thanks all for the info.
Anyone reading this in the future let me know if I can help in anyway.
Glad you got a new device ..and for the record ...I personally believe you had a bad device from day 1...
Normally I would frown on anyone taking back a device that has been modded ...but I can see no evidence in your case that indicates your doing anything that would break your chipset ...
And I know that others feel the same way ...
You tried your guts out ...and the device just didn't act properly from day 1...
Please place a "Solved" in the thread title if you don't mind ...
That way ...everyone knows the issue has been corrected ..
Many thanks ...and....
Happy flashing ....g
