Hey guys, My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (Wifi) Won't turn on anymore. Don't even charge! My brother was playing minecraft until my Tablet's life reach 0% (Died). Then I charged it, It's still charging after 30 mins of charging I turned it on then the SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 logo appear (Start-Up) but it fails like it shutted down. I tried charging it again but it wont charge anymore nor turn on, I'm not using any ROM but i rooted my SGT 3 10.1
Anyone knows how to fix this? Please help asap!
Try different charger, usb cable, leave it for a while then try charging it, plug it into computer usb port or plug out sd card then try

Okay, Gonna try those now and hope something will fixed this. I'll reply if it works or not soon
Edit :
Be right back in 2 hours to check everything.
Edit Again :
My Tablet is fixed now, Thanks dude.
What I did is stopped charging for 10 minutes then i charged it using PC/Laptop then waited 1 hour, then charge it on normal then it started to charge and turned on. but again, stuck on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 logo then shut down....
None of those works. Any other idea?
I would do the process over again. But do not start the tablet. See if you can get into recovery mode (Vol+ / Power) or download mode (Vol- / Power). If that is successful then leave it there for awhile. Power off and try again. If good, then I would reload the OEM Rom or a backup that you may have. But I would not try powering the unit again. There might be a corrupt file caused by the initial improper shutdown.
It got even Worse, I tried to do the process again but it DOESNT turn on or Charge anymore. I waited 1 hour then charge, still, charge 2 hours, still. What to do now? Theres no helper here on our village except me so please help me
If your device is not charging then I wonder if it is the charger and not the device. I don't think the battery could go bad that fast. I could be wrong, but I don't think. So that leads me to believe that your charger possibly is not working like Ripshock mentioned.
Is the charger the OEM that came with the Tablet?
If not, can it produce 5vdc @ 2 amps?
What about the USB cable, is it OEM that came with the Tablet?
If not, is it wired correctly and can it handle 2 amps?
Regardless of how you answered the questions, I would seek another source for charging. I don't think the PC will charge. I don't believe the USP ports are setup to handle that much current. I could be wrong, but again, you might seek out another source for charging.
UPC won't charge tab. It has to be plugged into an eletrical outlet

As I suspected, but I thought I read somewhere that the PC can be setup to do just that on the USB port. Key phrase is "thought I read".
Nah. For some reason the tablet can't charge and transmit data through the cable at the same time unlike our phones and other devices. Personally i think it's stupid that it won't charge but hey that's how they were made lol. I use a very good cable too.

Well, I have been to this situation more than once (Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which are both family tablets). Do a "force boot"
Steps:
1.) Leave it there for, like, 4 hours or while it is charging do step 2.
2.) Now, press the power, volume up, volume down and home button together, until the it boots up completely
3.) Charge the tablet again..
Easy as that.. If that does not work, remove the battery inside (You need to have proper tools and a hand that can search youtube)
or, even if that does not work, your brother may have screwed something up (Either by dirty flashing another ROM or by doing some dangerous system modifications).. Your last hope is the repair shop (If you have warranty, send it back to a SAMSUNG REPAIR SHOP and act dumb, they will fix it for you, free of charge.)
I am not 100% sure here, but I don't think pressing the home key while using the power and vol keys will do anything. I believe that to be a process found on some of the other Samsung devices, but not the P5210. I personally have not tried it and I really don't want too knowing right now that my machine is working just fine. Would hate to do something that I cannot reverse.

Yep, I did those steps. and it's turning on now. but i cant start it up. When I open it, it goes to TWRP mode. This happens when I wipe all my phone cache,dalvik,etc (everything) then when i restarted the system it says "no OS installed, still continue?" I choose yes, then it said "your tablet's root could be corrupted, want to install a fresh new one?" I choose yes then my tablet restarts but on TWRP again, I install a rom named Pimpdroid then restarted the tablet, still the same (Always go to TWRP mode even i'm not press power+up volume+home bottom together) Just the power button but it goes to TWRP mode, i tried installing other roms but its still the same. If you can't understand properly due to my poor english. I can make a video on it if u r willing to help me. I really need help guys since theres no repair shop here its just an island!
Does anyone experienced this problem already? or does anyone knows how to fix this problem? Help me please

When it asked to reinstall the root, say NO. Then power off the unit. Do not try and run the tab at this time. There is no OS. Start the tab in download mode. Connect to PC and start ODIN. Load the OEM Rom. This is the only way to get things back to normal unless you have saved a backup. If you have a back up, then start the tab in recovery mode (TWRP/CWM) and restore from backup.
I would recommend NOT installing Pimpdroid or any other rom until you have a fully operational tablet again. Best to always start from a fresh OEM Rom.
What is OEM Rom? and where can I download it?
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacture
OEM Rom is the firmware that was developed by Samsung and is the only official Rom for your device. All the other roms that are developed here are done so with caveats placed on them. Mainly that the roms can damage your device or brick it (cause it to fail completely).
Original firmware (OEM Rom) can be found here. In the search window just enter the model number of the device you have. In this case that would be P5210. It will take several hours to download the rom as it is huge, on the order of 1.9GB. Just be patient. It is always a good idea to have the OEM Rom safely tucked away on you computer for situations like this.

It's just like a rom? after downloading ill just install it like other roms?
and, Which country firmware should I download? There are tons of Country but the same rom
You will download the version for your country. I have no information about your whereabout. So you will have to find the rom for your country or region of the world.
You will need to extract the MD5 file from the zip and place it on your computer. Once extracted, you will open ODIN and load the MD5 file into the PDA slot and upload it to your device. Don't worry about the SS_DLL file. It will take some time to load into ODIN and then some time to load into your device. Do not stop the upload or interrupt. Once loaded, you will then restart your device and configure it like it was brand new out of the box.
The standard recovery will be loaded also. If you desire to load TWRP or CWM, you can if you want. You can also root the device. But I would not recommend loading any of the other roms until you get a better understand of what that rom does and how to load it. There are many posts on XDA that tell you how to load an OEM (stock) Rom. Just do a search for them. No need to be redundant here.
Just be careful.

Well, This is pretty weird. There's no Philippines (Which is my country) OEM rom and on the Tablet, it wont go to Recovery mode or Download mode. because when I charge my tablet it automatically opens then go to TWRP. When i turned it off it goes to normal charging. Then when I try to open it using this (Power button+volume up+ Home) it still goes to TWRP mode. How to fix this?

I took my stock AT&T tab and wiped it then flashed Roto JME-4. When I rebooted, I had a black screen for about 60 seconds, with a skinny white line, and I could hear the samsung music. After about 1.5 minutes, I pressed the power key, and screen went totally black - no line. Then I pushed power again, and everything was normal after that, unless I rebooted.
Anyway, here is it fix:
1) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899196 and download the jj4bootloader.zip file
2) use odin to flash the unzipped jj4 file. It goes in PDA and nothing else in any options.
3) upon reboot, you will have a 100% normal startup with logo and music.
I used the Bootloader Patch app to check this, and it reports it is safe, and that I can flash anything.
Thanks to Roto, Chain Fire, and alexnoalex
Ok, so, just to be sure I'm not going to break my Tab, doing this ONLY changes/fixes the boot animation etc. (get's rid of the AT&T stuff, and puts in the Samsung stuff).
To be clear, I just flashed Roto's latest Euro firmware (Baseband P1000XXJMA, Build FROYO.XXJME), so performing this fix won't affect/change ony of this stuff right?
If I have to re-flash everyting from scratch, then it's really more trouble than it's worth (Blank screen at bootup? Big deal... It's just at boot right? Everything else works perfectly!)
I wish rotohammer and other rom devs would include this information clearly in their initial posts. Took me awhile to find this fix but it works well. This is also important because you can't see the recovery screen without it.

This is just a quick 30 second flash thru odin, it only repairs the black screen, and doesn't touch anything else!
The developers took out the sound and logo to make the rom file size correct.
That's just the answer I was looking for! Thank you good sir!
Glad I could help.
Hello, I have the same problem but I cannot flash the zip file because my computer doesn't detect the tab when I'm in download mode. I tried updating the drivers and software and it still doesn't want to detect it. I cannot get into recovery mode because of the black screen/white line. Do you know what I can do to get my computer to detect my TAB? I tried searching the forum but could not find any info that helped. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using windows xp, or 7? Put the tab in download mode before you connect to the computer. Is your tab set to usb debugging mode?
I used Win XP, Windows 7 x64 and x86, non of them worked. They can detect my Galaxy S I9000 phone but not my TAB. Yes, I tried it with both debugging on and off, it still doesn't work. Could it be the kernal's fault? Maybe the cable? It will charge the TAB but for some reason my computer won't detect it.
Try different usb cables and ports on the computer.
I tried a different wire and usb ports and it's still not working. I just realized the TAB is not charging anymore. It doesn't make the charging sound when I plug it in. Figured out it's not the cable because it worked on another TAB. Could it be the firmware or kernal?
Not charging when plugged in the computer, or in the wall outlet? Plug it in the wall for at least for hours to get a full charge.
It charges if I plug it into the wall but its very slow like when you charge it via usb. Im using the original charger and cable. There is an x next to the charging/lightening icon on the top when I plug it into the wall and computer.
Just let it charge all night. Be sure its off when charging.
What's the point of having it fully charged? How will that help? My computer still won't detect it even if it's fully charged. I need help to get my computer to detect it so I can restore the original firmware.
I have seen five problems like yours, and after a complete charge, then reboot the phone into download mode, the problem cleared up. They used a different usb port also.
Go to windows update and update your pc.
Look a few threads further down named «help help help»
Ok its currently 50% now. Ill let you know once its fully charged. Thanks for your help so far.
Its 100% and my computer still doesn't detect it. Now what?
Did you have a chance to see the thread “help help help"?
This will sound crazy, but double check your cable - recently someone had the same trouble, because they had dust in the cable connector.
I cannot see the thread you're referring to.
Yes, I did tried a different cable and it's still the same.

Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Darkshado

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

Hello, I purchased a phone off kijiji fully knowing it was not functional - For the 40 dollars my curiosity got the best of me; and if I can fix it well I can get myself a new phone for cheap. I was informed that this phone: Samsung Galaxy sgh-i747m had the latest update (not custom rom). The phone suddenly would not boot past Samsung logo and by the time I bought it, would not boot up at all. So after doing extensive research I decided I would give the 16gb class 10 sd card boot a chance. While somewhat of a success, the only thing it boots me to is this.
BOOT RECOVERY MODE (IN GREEN)
CHECK BOOT PARTITIONS
COPY FROM T-FLASH
BOOT RECOVERY
WRITE 159488 SECTORS
FLASH WRITE FAILURE (RED)
ODIN MODE (RED)
PRODUCT NAME: SGH-I747M
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: NONE
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Warranty Bit: 0
BOOTLOADER AP SWERV: 1
I should note that with the debrick-SGH-I747M-UEMK5 image that I used, the phone will boot to recovery mode without holding any buttons(While Plugged in). It will also boot to recovery if it is unplugged and I simply hold and release the power button when I feel the vibrate. I have also tried volume down + home + power. Same thing. If I take the sd card out I cannot get any sign of life / no recovery mode.
The computer does not see the device at all, even in device manager as a random name. There are no signs of life on the computer end. ODIN also does not detect it even when in boot recovery mode. Will not boot to download mode. A red light comes on if I pull the battery out and plug in the usb cable.

Will do. Going to build jig today and test it out
Another solution may be to have the firmware flashed via jtag.
You should be able to flash with Odin from there if I'm not mistaken. (Been a long time since I've been through this part myself). You may need to try different drivers, different cables, usb ports, etc.

Yea I didn't want to have to go that route if possible as my goal was to gain experience and knowledge from this little project. If I got the phone working then I would just replace my old Samsung infuse. I made the USB Jig using the 301K ohm's and it still does not work. I know the jig works because I tested it on my wife sgh-i747m and also on my infuse. Both of which boot into download mode immediately. My concern is there is something wrong with the main board because it really doesn't seem like it was rooted at all.
I am just going to see what I can get for it at this point, I paid 70 so would be looking to get at least 60

I have tried 5 different cords, and two different computers on all usb ports. Nothing
You said it'll boot recovery, is it stock or a custom one? Also, are you familiar with ADB?
When you plug it into the computer, is it detected by odin? If so, what does it say in the message box when you try to flash?
Look in device manager too. What does it detect the device as?

You have the Canadian version of the s3? Will you phone boot into download mode without the sd card installed?
Sorry, I have the SGH-i747. The phone only boots with the SD card and just stays in download mode. Odin doesn't recognize it.

What was the last stock ATT ROM on the phone? Can the phone boot into download mode without the external SD card?
When you connect the phone to you computer in download mode, are you prompted to install drivers? If you are using Windows, any unrecognized devices in device manager?
And don't forget to try different cables and every USB port on the computer. Cables go bad much more easily than most people think, and many charging cables cannot be used for data transfer.
I've seen a number of times where people found that only one of the USB ports would allow it to connect.
You might also want to try several different driver versions. (I'd start with the oldest that was release along with the S3.) You can find several in the link in my signature.

So, one day ago, I installed TWRP via heimdall suite and flashed the last stable Cyanogenmod 12.1 for GT-N5100, following all the instructions. For my surprise, the tablet doesn't charge with any type of source. Tried lots of cables and adapters and nothing.
I returned to stock ROM, 4.4.2, but the same problem remains.
What I found is that somehow it start recharging when plugged for some time, but only some few %, and the tablet is readily recognized via USB when on download mode. So, it's not a hardware issue.
Someone, please help me.

I think you have system corruption from kernels. I have experienced various issues around power with the note 8.0... all of which were from various kernel loads effecting low level device operation. Unfortunately there is no reset button or easy access to clean out the corruption.
You can remove the battery connection and wait a few minutes. Then connect and go into download mode and flash a stock rom. Then boot to setup and finalize your installation. Check and see if it will charge and properly function with power off and reboot options from the power menu.
If so flash a recovery, and wipe completly and flash your ROM of choice. If you choose a custom kernel outside of the ROM package, that may be done on top of the ROM load, to assist in a clean and trouble free ROM install.

Tried exactly what you said: Opened it, removed the battery for a while, flashed the stock rom via Odin and factory reseted. Nothing changes.
Doesn't charge anyway. It's recognized when in download mode, though.
With 16% battery right now. If it drop to 0%, that means gameover? Or can i charge while on download mode (odin mode)?
Can't I flash TWRP and then install a custom kernel from there?
Thanks, dude.
I use Philz Recovery, as had issues with TWRP long ago and gave up once I tried Philz.
I would have done a full wipe and reset in philz.
You can charge in Philz and in Download mode, once you are able to get the phone to reset the power mode by the kernel flash.
One thing I think may be your issue... the USB connector may be bad. All you need is the voltage pin to go bad. Data will operate without voltage for powering the device.
Removing the USB board and lightly compress the top and bottom of the connectors frame, so that your cable end fits snug. Had to do that a few years ago when a cable end stretched it out after a few uses. Did not go back to using it again once I corrected the fit issue.

Tried also, without response.
It really doesn't seem to be a hardware problem.
Right now I plugged into the charger and there you go: Charging!!
I don't know what I did different, but it's working, at least for a while. Probably it will not fully charge, but ok.
I remembered that, prior to flashing TWRP+CM12.1, I got constant pop-ups about Power Sharing. Reading some forums, some guys experienced the same problem with this feature and them their phones stopped charging. Some reported that a factory reset solved, which is not my case.
I will keep posting what I did and if I find something that solves, it may help someone who's stuck with the same error.
Anyway, thanks so much, gooberdude.
(And sorry for my lame grammar.. writing is much harder than reading and listening english)

Hello
My N5100 faces the same problem of charging as this thread.
Could you put in details about your status of N5100
- Your regional model: Ex: EU, America, Asia....?
- Your Tab is working fine until today, doesnt it?
- If it's working fine , what was ROM you are using currently?
- What did Recovery you use to flash ROM?
Thank you so much
Hello my tab has a charging problem too it started with not being recognised when I plug to my computer. When I plug to a power source it charges sometimes other times it just doesn't and I'm certain the charger isn't the problem
Well hello everyone i got a nearly new note 7 n930f with its box and all for about 130$ but the owner had let it update and now it only works while plugged to a charger, i tried getting into download mode while on charger but nothing happened just a black screen and sometimes it just boots up guess because the battery is at 0%.. i own a repair shop and i have a z3x box if nessecary.. i thought of opening it and charge the battery separatly or use s7 one but i really don't want to lose water resistance. But since i can get to use the phone i thought maybe i can root it using kingroot or sth and get system file and modify something so i can charge it a bit to get into download mode to flash twrp and costume rom but i'm not that good with sys files or mobile odin to downgrade to 30% battery firmware or sth.. i'm really stuck and i contacted samsung and they didn't want to take it back since it's purchased from another country (in europe)
Please anyone who has any solution help me.. i really love this phone and it was my dream phone when it launched
I did it guys, although no one has replied xD!.. after a lot of research, the way was to power on phone while on charger, check oem unluck then power off, plug usb into pc and do the download mode sequence 5 times with 3sec-1sec interval then flashed twrp and flash hydra kernel, it let it charge to 60%, after that anything can be done.. i'm on note fe oreo port btw!

How did you manage to check OEM. I can only get to download mode while charging and not through USB. My phone is not getting recongnized using USB. Pretty much stuck. Can you/someone help?

I could turn on the phone only with original charger and waiting for about a minute then by going to recovery mode then select "reboot phone".. it boots up then go to developer mode and check oem unlock and flash twrp and no verity opt then hydra rom or something
I'm having similar problems, but mine won't go let me into the recovery menu. Does anyone have any useful tips for me? Can anyone elaborate on the concept of the 3-1 second thing? thanks in advance for all the help!
