Download mode is accessable by pressing "Vol down + home +power" at the same time. If the phone won't turn on in any way check the battery. If the battery is fine, your bootloader is broken and need to be fixed by a technician. You can check out e.g. ebay for "8160P bootloader repair".
May I ask what happened to your phone that it became like this?

[GUIDE]How To Unbrick Your Galaxy Tab!

DO NOT MESSAGE ME BECAUSE WHAT'S IN HERE IS THE SAME I'M GOING TO REPLY YOU WITH.... :
Many of you guys are posting questions everyday about bricking your tab and most of you actually don't know what bricking is regarding to your device, in Phones\tablets there are three kinda of bricks which are listed below:
Warning :
Many People Are Soft\Hard bricking their Tab So Please Flash Safe And Read Carefully the Guides in Every Thread. Flash Safe
HARD BRICK
Unit does not power up, visibly charge, reach a boot-screen of any kind including a service or "download" screen. A device in this state requires service from the manufacturer or an individual equipped with the proper tools. There is no other way to recover a device in this state. (SpaceMoose1)
you can refer to this guide to recover your HARDBRICK !!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312391
SOFT BRICK
Unit powers up, reaches a "download" or service screen, visibly charges but does not boot into an OS. Crashing, hanging etc. all apply here. It is easy to recover a device from this state so long as one has access to a firmware that was designed for the device and the ability to flash said firmware. (SpaceMoose1)
COMA BRICK
Device wont power on at all or respond to button input.
Device powered off, NO show of big battery icon, even when charger is plugged in. Don't panic, let it charge fully for 4 hours from a mains supply not usb.It will start again !!!. Battery big icon will appear around 30% battery charged, I know because that's what I saw. I didn't check when it's in 10% or 20%. The 1st time I check was already 30% up from no-boot or no response. (cx5)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR UNBRICKING
Here are some steps you have to follow to make sure that your tab will work or will not work at all
HARD BRICK
Check to see if the device is actually "Hard" bricked by leaving it plugged into charge for atleast 4 hours via a mains supply (NOT USB).
If above doesn't work you will need to send your Tab To Samsung To Fix it For you or visit this link.

1. download heimdall. get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265
2. download the stock verizon files. get them from here: Click On Me
you need all four files.
3. download the drivers for the samsung sch-i800. find those here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...v1.3.350.0.exe
4. unzip heimdall. go into the drivers folder, and run zadig.exe. at the top, select 'list all devices'. go to the dropdown menu, and select Samsung Composite USB (i'm pretty sure that's what it was called.) click start, and let it run.
5. open the heimdall front end.
6. put system in system (if you're flashing to ec02, then put factory in system)
put cache into cache
put param into param
put the zimage into both the kernel and recovery slots.
7. turn your tab off, and plug it into the computer using USB. hold down the power and the volume down buttons until you see the little droid dude with a shovel.
8. click the start button on heimdall.
9. wait for the flash to complete (don't unplug your device, obviously, during the flashing.) once your phone reboots, it's okay to unplug it.
10. now, boot into the stock recovery, and wipe data and cache. reboot, and update to ec02.
11. enable usb debugging.
12. plug your phone back in to the computer.
13. now run superoneclick for root. get that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
14. either play with it in stock, or go find oldmacnut's excellent Better Than Life Rom, and follow the instructions to flash that.
15. enjoy your tab!

You should add a link to Connexion2005's profile for hard brick service. He can jtag just about anything to recover from a bricked state. Really great service and I can vouch for it second hand. For the tab it costs 50 bucks and this includes return shipping back to you. If he fails to unbrick the device (which I haven't actually heard of him doing) you don't pay for the service (only the shipping and diagnostic.)

i already tagged Spacemoose1 thread for the hard brick i can't post like this info because i'm not responsible about what is happen between the victim ( bricked tab) and the JTAG (man)
glad that my 900 was here and not in another thread
You take no responsibility anyways, it's just offering up advice. You aren't forcing anyone to send it anywhere... just offering a suggestion... Some of us have voided our warranty and this service would be better for us.

thanks for mention it the links Fixed already
Nothing is working
I have used
Heimdall
Odin 1.3/1.7/EA24 Sprint
Tried
VZW zimage
Zephyr
Stock DJ30 with and without modem
Khaz's OC for CDMA
And all fail. From what I see in Odin it fails right at zimage load.
On the device it has the blue bar and stays stuck.
Is there a solution to this?
I have heard of the JTAG fix, is this possible to build?
if your tab is still working why do you wanna use JTAG ?
It just loads into emergency download mode.
Phone..Triangle..PC
this is the second download mode .. that means your tab SOFT bricked .. you need to find your stock rom to flash it and you all good
I have a Sprint P100 Galaxy tab. Went and googled kept getting the same EA24 and DJ30 roms which say are stock and do not load.
then go to the nearest samsung service and let it like this in second download mode
and tell them i try to update via kies , they will ask you to wait for 10mins and you'll get your tab back . and pls after you get it back , do not flash anything and let it the way it is better for u
Thanks but dont count me out...
This is not my first Rodeo, I had the rotten luck of loading CWM and then Zephyr and corrupting the device. I would still like to try the JTAG and perform the fix. Thanks for your time and assistance.
Right, so long story short. Tried to update my Tab. Got stuck while downloading GB-safe-stock v3 from Overcome.
Now after leaving it on charge over night. Nil doesn't do anything, not even light up a little. Guessing Hard Bricked?
Prob is I live in South Africa and I think my nearest Samsung agent is 300km.
Any suggestions?
Great guide, keep it updated and you'll save a lot of tabs.

Galaxy note 2 WONT BOOT!!!

Really need some assistance here if someone could please help. I downloaded chainfire 3d, because i read it would speed up my game lag/speed. After install, it asked for a reboot....my phone hasnt been able to boot now, it has been stuck on the logo screen. I can get into recovery mode, i did a reset and formatted everything (which i REALLY didnt want to do), but i need my phone on asap. After all that, nothing has worked after reboot. Still stuck on logo screen, someone please give me any ideas to get this back on its really upsetting Thanks a lot, really hope someone has some ideas.

If you can still get into Download Mode you can always flash the stock rom back using the Odin tool on your PC. Use the procedure below to get into download mode:
Entering download mode is very simple. First you will need to turn off your device. Once it’s off, you need to press this button combination: volume down, power button and home button. Keep them pressed until the download mode shows up. Once you’re there, you will be requires to press volume up to enter the download mode or volume down to cancel and reboot the device.
Then follow these instructions:
If u have a custom recovery there's always this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769
And sadly yes cf3d does not work on any device with touchwiz jellybean
What I did in that situation is first download a stock deodexed rom.
Then connect your phone with your pc and open the Odin program on your computer.
(may or may not have to install Kies)
Then flash the deodexed rom to your phone.

help: need to return orignel samsung rom

hey there. so its like this : 12-14 months ago i bought an galaxy note n7100 from a compeny called K.S.P any way they sold the phone with the original samsung rom beacuse the phone was in english and didnt had the option to change to my Language . approximately 2 months after i bought him i rooted him and installed Android Revolution HD v3 i think or maybe v4 any way today the phone turned off and i cant turn him on.
i want to K.S.P and they said they cant help me beacause the phone is rooted and blah blah blah ...so they said i should turn it back to the origanel samsung rom (i think they mentioned the words "by using samsung kies")
so after i wrote way too much all i ask is a Guide for changing it back so he will turn on.
thanks in advance for helpers!!.
sorry for my suckish english.

wrong section. this has nothing to do with development.
anyway, choose a stock odexed original rom. they are somewhere here in the forums, just search for it, flash it via odin and get rid of your modified increased binary counter (if it is increased which will probably be the case) then flash a rom via odin which doesn't increase the counter (I think there are some not sure though)

Try another charger or usb cable for the charger...they sometimes break and don't give juice anymore. Try another battery maybe your battery is dead.
If the above doesn't help...flash a stock rom thru odin ( latest version of your country and send it in for warranty )

[Q] Possible Bricked Tab 3 SMT10R

All, I did watch the guide and I did spend nigh-on 3 hours, no exaggeration, trying to find my solution.
But it looks like I've really messed up big time!!!!
Idiot that I am, I had everything running perfectly before, however I have become far to over confident and i think i have bricked my device!! I flashed this thinking it was rom that was stable (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561064)
Unfortunately its left my device unable to turn off & will only will restart showing the Samsung logo. I installed previously a custom recovery & cannot access it. I also cannot access download mode.
When you stop laughing at me can you please advise my wisest course of action? Stupid thing is I can flash and mess around with my GNex until the cows come home, but this has me flummoxed and greatly worried.
I look forward to any reply's.

As previously said, cwm or odin are the only ways you can do to revert to stock because you flashed a test cm rom. Did you try to charge your tab maybe you have lowbattery. Or maybe one of your volume keys and home button are broken.

don't blame my rom lol. Hold volume down , home button and power at the same time for like 20 secs then it will be in download mode. I have soft bricked it over 50 times. same for recovery you have to hold , vol up , home , and power until tab reboots to tab 3 logo then keep holding it for like 3 secs then let go it will go into recovery.
Thanks for all the prompt comments, yep panic over I managed to get into download mode & re-flashed the standard rom.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660 wont start at all..

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy GT-S5660 and it was working fine but when I tried using the ROM Manager for recovery mode the phone display went off and after that it is not starting again, no key combinations are working now, no download mode, recovery mode etc not even the battery is shown charging or discharging now...the battery is working fine though...it seems completely dead. I had shown it to the Samsung Service centre they said hardware is fine but the problem seems to be with the software...probably boot loader or something else is corrupted...still don't know the exact problem...Had shown it to a lot of Service people but since its not starting nobody seems to know what could be the problem here...How do I get my phone to start again??? please help

You Shouldn't Have Used ROM Manager As Galaxy Gio Is Not Supported By ROM Manager. I Am Sorry But Theirs Nothing You Can Do To Revive Your Phone. Only JTAG Can Unbrick A Gio Bricked By ROM Manager
Thank you for the information...
