[Q] Stuck in Odin Mode - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys, I have an immediate problem with my SM-T705 Galaxy Tab S 8.4. It is in Odin mode and it wouldn't power off no matter what buttons I press. I've pressed the power button for 30 seconds, home and power button combo, etc.
Background story:
I have already rooted it, but seeing edan1979's SelambA ROM NG2 V1.1.0 20140820, I thought flashing it would be a good way to get rid of bloatware.
Thinking I need to backup my existing firmware, I used Flashify to get TWRP Recovery but Flashify said there's no TWRP for my device. So I went to http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/238 and downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-klimtwifi.img, put it in my internal storage, used Flashify to install it. Once done, I had the option to reboot, which I did. Thereafter, my tablet went into a boot loop. So I thought I might as well flash the SelambA ROM immediately. I went into Odin Mode, connect my tablet to my PC with a USB cable, launched Odin 3.0.7 and it detected my tablet. Unfortunately, I discovered Odin (unlike Sony's Flashtool) wouldn't read .zip files, which is the file format of SelambA ROM.
Now I've found and downloading the original stock firmware, hopefully that .zip contains the .md5 format. It's a super slow download that will take about 8 hours more to complete. In the mean time, my tablet screen is switched on, stuck in Odin mode.
What else can I do to rectify this situation?

3 buttons at the same time?
Other than that, would something like Kies detect my device and download the proper firmware for it?
Edit: That I did home+power+volume up. Got to Recovery mode. The I pressed and hold the power button to get to the boot loop. Now charging it while it boot loops.

Yes, heimdall (open source) will be an alternative for kies/odin. But:
1) identify your device and region (to guess proper firmware archive)
2) you need to download your device firmware yourself (http://www.samdown.com or others)
3) enter into download mode by POWER+VOL DOWN+HOME
4) run heimdall as single command or via frontend
5) before flashing with heimdall, you can use heimdall print-pit option to test working interaction between heimdall and your device
6) the heimdall flash command looks like this:
Code:
# heimdall flash \
--CACHE cache.img \
--BOOT boot.img \
--SYSTEM system.img \
--RECOVERY recovery.img \
--RADIO modem.bin \
--HIDDEN hidden.img \
--BOOTLOADER sboot.bin
If needed after flashing take a full reset/wipe via recovery mode (POWER+VOL UP+HOME).

Phone Bricked?

I tried flashing the CWM 3.1.0.1 PURPLE bzImage directly to /dev/block/bml8 using redbend_ua. It seemed to flash I think and then the phone soft rebooted. I tried to enter the recover menu by going to ROM Manger and selecting 'reboot into recovery. Which I think was where I may have messed up beyond repair. When booting the phone now gets stuck at the Samsung logo and won't go any further. I'm guessing since i didn't use the button shortcut for endering recovery mode now every time the phone boots it tries to boot the recovery partition which is now foobared it seems. Is there any way to make the phone boot normally or am I boned?
I don't think that works for us. Power off phone and press vol down, camera, and power st the same time to get to recovery.
you are NOT bricked.
You can also go into download mode and odin back to stock if necessary.
Check out qbking77's youtube to see how.

I've tried using the button shortcut to get to recover mode a few times.. Never loads. Just sits there forever.. tried the download mode shortcut too but that also just sits at the samsung logo. The download mode shortcut i tried was volume down and power.
No download mode is holding 1 on the keyboard and hold power. Then u can flash something with odin or heimdale. That's your only options if u can't get to recover. If the phone boots its nit bricked.

Oh sorry I was mistaken. I did try holding 1 on the keyboard to get to the download mode. Still only shows the samsung logo. Guess i'll be going by a store in the morning.
EDIT:
Anyone know where I might have gone wrong? I downloaded the oneclick root and copied all the recovery files to /system/bin/ as the oneclick would. Set permissions for all the recover files to 0755 as the one click would. Copied redbend_ua to /data/local and the zImage for CWM 3.1.0.1 PURPLE to /data/local/tmp and ran 'redbend_ua restore /data/local/tmp/zImage /dev/block/bml8
I was fairly confident that would work but it seems I was wrong.
One click must be downloaded to your computer then extracted and run the run.bat plug your phone in and click enter. That's it. Not suposed to put files into the phone directly.

If you are getting the Samsung logo you are doing it wrong. Turn off the phone. Pull the battery. Put the battery back in. Pull out the key board. Put your finger on the 1 key and hold it down. While holding the 1 key press and hold the power button. Download mode will appear.
And to get into recovery properly press and hold the camera button first, then add pressing and holding volume down, then add pressing and holding power button until the recovery menu appears. Order is important.

Exactly. Also, there is a flashable zip for cwm 3.1.0.1. Who gave you the idea of putting these things in files? You will need to odin to ec05 before using the oneclick root exploit. You can pm me if you want for faster responses

All the oneclick does is use adb or whatever to execute commands on the phone itself. I basically did the exact same thing except using shell on the device itself to do all the commands as at the time I didn't have a computer I could connect to to actually use the 'one click'. Also I've never been able to get the windows drivers to work.
I was actually able to get into the download mode. I then used heimdall on my linux box to flash Froyo EC05 Prerooted/ClockWorkMod v2.5.1.0 (RFS Filesystem) Odexed. NO DATA WIPE/LOSS !! using the below command.
I tried to link to the zip file I used but i can't link to outside sites yet.
Code:
./heimdall flash --cache cache.rfs --kernel zImage --recovery recovery.bin --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --modem modem.bin
I probably didn't need to do the factoryfs or modem options.
After that I was able to easily install the clean kernel and CWM 3.1.0.1 and everything is all good now.

[Q] PC doesn't recognize phone even in download mode (No win 8 involved)

Hi,
So 2 days ago I flashed a stock rom, then CMW 6.0.4.8 (that advanced edition), then CM11 + GAPPS found in that same thread.
Result is an only half booting gio, I can enter pin, then select a language and then it's all black except for the battery and signal indicators.
I tried flashing again with a different recovery and flashed CMW 6.0.4.5. Now I got the bluescreen which is common on that version.
No problem, just put it in download mode and odin flash it... wel, not!
I tried on at least 5 different pcs, all windows 7, with custom driver packages, with official samsung kies (2.6), with reboots and without reboots, all usb ports and different usb cables. One pc began installing drivers for MSM72xx (GOOD), but then failed saying the device was disconnected while it wasn't. On most pcs it appears in device manager under usb devices as unknown with error 43, but trying to manually install inf files for it isn't working.
So no pc sees my phone when in download mode, I can't access recovery and I can't even make it to the android homescreen.
Any ideas on how to get it working again? Cause obviously it isn't bricked, its just that by pure coincidince all roads to a working phone are blocked (only half booting android + bugged recovery + weird behaviour in download mode).
EDIT:
Maybe usefull info. The inigial stockrom I flashed (the latest you can find on sammobile.com) didn't completely boot either. It stayed in the boot animation for almost 1 hour before I turned it off. I hope there wasn't something wrong with the stock rom cause me to have a broken download mode now (though it passed odin's md5 check).
Thanks,
Stan
No problem!!!

1. First Flash CM11 Blindly From Existing (Blue Screened) Recovery via Following Method:
Download latest CM 11 For Gio (http://download.androidarmv6.org/_builds/gio/stable/cm-11.0.0-RC5-GT-S5660-gio.zip) to your PC, place it on c:\ drive
Boot to recovery 6.0.4.5, press
Vol. down -> Home -> Vol. down -> Vol. down -> Home
Thus you'll enter "Install zip from sideload"
Download Minimal ADB from Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
. Connect your phone to PC via usb. Launch adb and type
Then Type:
adb devices
you'll get an output like
12346789 sideload
this means everything's ok
now type
adb sideload c:\cm-11.0.0-RC5-GT-S5660-gio.zip
wait aproximately 5 min for the rom to be copied to phone abd flashed
the press on the phone
back -> back -> vol. down -> vol.down -> Home -> vol. down -> Home
this is wipe data/factory reset
press
now back -> back ->
Home to reboot to system
Wait for the rom to boot up
Enjoy!

Thanks To @belyava
Now You Can Flash any other recovery via terminal method from within the ROM :good:
BTW have you tried pressing home button after black screen with half booting ROM?
@Stannieman
The biggest problem is you flashed
Stannieman said:
CM11 + GAPPS

at the same time. I don't know why, but the cm11 rom and gapps have to be flashed separately: you have to boot to system after flashing the rom, make some customizations(change language, enable WiFi, etc.) and then reboot to recovery to flash gapps.
And where do all of you get these "blueish" recoveries???? use this one
Ok thanks a looooot! Going to try it as soon as I'm home.
And yes I did try pressing the home button but still no launcher.
EDIT:
Unfortunately the blind recovery method doesn't work either, still unknown device.
If I can't get it fixed before Monday I'll buy a new one and explore the world of WP8.1.
Did you try linux?
when you connect the phone to linux PC in terminal type
lsusb
it should show all usb devices
I just don't know if odin would work under linux
I just stumbeld across this post coz I am unable to access download mode nor recovery on my phone(but that's another story)
also I think when you download adb for linux you can cd to platform-tools/ and while your phone is connected in download mode type
./fastboot devices
it should pop up
these are just my ideas...
Magic happened yesterday. I'm doing an internship in a company where they develop for android. When in download mode it got immediately picked up by one of the developers' pc and we were able to flash a stock rom with odin. I guess he has some extra drivers that came with the SDK or something. For some reason my pc still doesn't see it in download mode, but at least I've got an up and running Gio again!

[Factory Images] Factory Images and Flashing tools

NOTE: FLASHING KITKAT AFTER UPDATING TO LOLLIPOP (i.e. DOWNGRADING) IS NOT SUPPORTED. YOUR DEVICE WILL GET HARD BRICKED IF YOU ATTEMPT TO DO SO
Hello Yureka Users,
The factory image (fastboot flashable zip) and debuggable boot image are now available on Cyanogen Support page.
For the convenience of the users, we have also created a package containing required tools for flashing and a one-click flashing script.

if i will flash this. will i revert back to stock recovery and locked bootloader ?
i come to know that lolipop update will be flashable only on stock recovery. is it true ?
does this method apply to fastboot files of cm12 as well?
Cause many users who directly flashed this cm12 fastboot files are now having hard bricked devices

P6 bricked? Stuck on Huawei logo

Hello,
my problem is after trying to revert back to the stock rom I messed things up and I can't get back to fastboot mode.
But I will describe what I did. First thing I did many weeks ago was the installation of cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on the P6.
All worked fine except for the high power consumption. Because of that I decided to switch back to the stock rom.
To do that I have made the following steps.
1. I downloaded the Jelly Bean firmware from the official huawei website. (I can't post the link since I'm a new user)
2. I used the download extractor to extract boot.img and recovery.img
3. I flashed them via fastboot
4. I prepared a SD card with the update.app in the dload folder
5. booted the phone with volume buttons pressed. Update process started but failed. There was no error message only a huge FAIL message.
6. After that I switched back to TWRP recovery what worked fine
7. I build a flashable zip file with the update extractor of boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img, userdata.img and flashed it via TWRP
8. Than I realised that I mistakenly included the recovery.img which overwrote the TWRP recovery
Now the phone always starts to the huawei logo also when starting with volume buttons pressed. I can't access the fastboot mode anymore.
When shutting it down it reboots instantly.
My questions are the following.
* Can a corrupted recovery block the access of the fastboot mode or any mode to access the phone via USB to flash a new recovery?
* Are there other ways to reset the phone?
* Was it a problem to take a Jelly Bean stock rom after a KitKat installation?
* If the phone is bricked, do you have any suggestion what to do with it? Is it worthless now? Sell on ebay? Hope this is not necessary.
Thank you so much!

When you say its bricked does that mean that it gets stuck on huawei ascend logo? If thats the case than you should be ablr to enter fastbboot since thats the sign you are in bootloader mode.

Well that is what I thought too, but I can't get a connection via adb or fastboot.
"adb devices" lists nothing. When connecting the phone via usb to the computer there is no log entry generated on the computer like it's the case with other usb devices.
I tried different usb cables. I'm unsure how to be really sure whether I'm in fastboot mode or not.
Before flashing the zip everything worked fine so it's very unlikely to be a driver issue or something related to the computer I think.
i have the same problem and i cant communicate with the device in any way but what happen to me that i download a wrong recovery img.
if someone can help please
i fix my phone and get it back to the stock recovery ::victory:
Can you please share how you make it? I have the same problem...
I fixed it by replacing the motherboard using a very detailed tutorial on ifixit.
The P6 is not build to be repaired by the customer but with the right tools it was ok.

I turn the phone in the debug mode and flash the stock recovery back you enter the debug mode by press and hold on the volume down then after it the power for 10 sec. after you plug the phone to the computer via usb then download this file: 4shared.com/rar/9HO06Lpjba/p6_stock_recovery.html
and then unzip the file then open by order
1- adb-windows if you have windows

Samsung S20 Exynos boot looped due to wrong version of dtbo.img

Hi,
I have a global variant of S20 with Exynos chipset running rooted stock Android 10 with G980FXXS2ATE7 firmware.
Root was done with Magisk and it was properly working.
I installed a Magisk extension that caused the initial boot loop, but Recovery and Download mode was working. I was trying to install TWRP but that failed to load with some DTBO related problems. So I restored the stock recovery for Android 10 and then choose to flash the Android 11 version of dtbo alone without any additional files from that package, because I was hoping that it would make TWRP work. So I have a combination of stock files for Android 10 + corresponding rooted bootloader and stock recovery + Android 11 version of DTBO.
This was a big mistake, as since the device is rebooting every 30 sec. It only shows that the bootloader was unlocked and afterwards the "Samsung Galaxy S20 secured by Knox" screen. It stays here for a while and then reboots automatically.
Download mode and recovery are inaccessible. They simply do not appear, not with any key combination via which they worked earlier.
If I plug the phone into my laptop, there is absolutely no USB traffic, it is not recognized as a device.
Odin does not see the device either (as there is no USB device recognized by the OS).
The only thing I can do else is if I hold the Vol down + power button for a while and then plug in the charger when the screen goes dark, then the charging logo appears without showing the percentage of the battery. I stays there even if the unplug the charger. When touching the buttons, it goes back to the boot loop.
I have not found a way to power down the phone, even pressing and holding any combination of Vol up, Vol down and Power buttons.
I think the problem is that neither Recover nor Download mode can boot and this is because of the wrong DTBO file that I flashed.
Do you have any idea how I could repair and reflash the working DTBO file matching the firmware on the device under these circumstances?
Is there any trick for Exynos to boot from the SD Card like there is something for Qualcomm based phones?
Or any other way via which I could trigger some activity on USB?
Thanks for any suggestion
Try launching fastboot devices while holding fastboot keys.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I solved the problem finally.
It is strange, but recovery and download mode started to work with the hardware buttons after I removed the SD Card from the phone. I do not know how this is related, but afterwards I could flash with Odin and after reflashing the original firmware and the the usual vbmeta zip, the phone booted up properly.
Afterwards, I could reflash the magisk patched bootloader and regained root access as well.
