Frozen on Samsung Logo - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I was trying out Blisspop on this tablet and decided I preferred CM11 so decided to restore a backup. After rebooting, nothing turned on, only download mode worked so I just flashed stock firmware using Odin (which I had used successfully previously). Now it boots but gets stuck at the Samsung Logo. I can still get to download mode, but nothing else. I've read that if factory reset in the stock recovery, it'll work itself out but I can't even get to it. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Dont panic really common problem happened to me.
1. Boot into recovery, if not flash one with odin coz your gonna need something...like philz touch or team win or whatever.
2. Wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and wait, samething might appear to happen but it should boot.
Basically ive noticed a few times now on my t805 that the cache wouldnt format propperly and became corrupt and caused this.
I knew this because in the recovery a bunch of errors appeared saying couldnt acces log from cache/blah zt each time i navigated the menu of revoveryand so i wiped cache and they stopped
Booted and viola...if you see any other errors in recovery tell us here.
Good luck m8.

The problem was that I couldn't even get into recovery. But found thread on xda that mentioned if you turn off the tablet from download mode (pressing power and volume down) then you can use the normal three button method to get to recovery. And then yes, I wiped everything I could and it finally booted back up. Thanks for the help mate.

Something was bound to go wrong...

Hello,
well I read a lot about rooting and flashing custom Roms the last few days and I figured I would give it a try.
I really hope I didn't break my phone, hopefully one of you Android / Defy Gurus can help me out
I rooted my phone with Super-One-Click and that worked fine, then I installed Recovery Bootstrap for Defy from a thread in this forum (can't find it at the moment) but it is this one: "bootstrap-recovery-clockwork-mod"
Anyway, that worked fine too... I make a backup (backup/restore->backup). Then did multiple factory resets and deleted the Cache as well as the dalvik cache multiple times. And then installed CM7 off the SD card.... the first time it didn't work, and it booted back to the setup of blur... I tried it again this time activating "Fix Permissions" before install... it then worked and it booted up CM7 fine.
I then wanted to go ahead and install The Google apps from here: goo-inside.me for CM7 ... did the same thing wiping the caches and then installing off of SD card... rebooted and I get stuck with the motorola logo... which just stays there and does not go away.
I rebooted multiple times (by taking out the battery) entered recovery mode with the volume button (this is the standard android recovery) tried clearing cache and rebooting, same problem... tried "wipe data / factory reset" same problem. No matter what I do it doesn't boot past the motorola logo.
Any ideas? I read about RSDLite and downloaded a stock sbf but my phone isn't recognized by RSDLite while not booted... even in the recovery utlitiy no connection is made (USB Debugging is off I think).
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am kind of freaking out, I just got the phone a few days ago
Thanks so much,
MrPink52
before u turn your phone on hold vol+ key until it loads the bootloader for rsd lite
Didn't want to make the first post overly long or complicated so here a quick update.
I read somewhere else that I could get a connection in RSDLite by holding volume up while booting and entering the bootloader... that seemed to work, so chose this SBF File "JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0" from and developers and told RSDLite to flash it... it said complete...the display then turned black... and now I don't have any image at all. It is still found in RSDLite but nothing happens when I boot... and I don't even see the logo anymore.
Now I will definetly stop trying until someone here can hopefully help me.... it seems like me trying by myself is only making things worse
Please tell me there is still hope for my Def.
Thanks,
MrPink52
When the red M logo is on the screen the led should turn blue for a few seconds, at this point press the Down Volume key & you should then go into ClockworkMod Recovery. I would try clearing the cache from there or maybe even doing a factory reset.
you will probably have to flash stock and start over

I already tried that, like I said it didn't start the ClockWorkMod but instead the standard Android recovery Utlity which only has limited options... but now as I have described, the problem has gotten worse... I can't even get in there anymore after flashing with RSDLite.
Help!

im in us and my stock file is this one p3_jordan_umts_jordan-user-2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4-000000-release-keys-signed-T-Mobile-US.sbf

I took the one listed for Germany. My phone isn't branded so I tried to flash it with the sbf that seemed to fit.
Can you tell me exactly how I can do this correctly?
I may be doing something wrong with RSD Lite... but slowly I am really affraid I have bricked my Defy for good
MrPink52
after you flash go into stock recovery vol- key and factory reset then reboot should work fine then

That gives me hope... the problem is I can't press vol- after flashing... the screen just stays black... I can reflash it and I get white writing on the screen "Updating SW" but when its finished the screen just turns black again... and neither Vol+ nor Vol- during boot does anything.
Any further advice?
try another sbf the one ur flashing isnt the right one
it should show a gray motorola logo when u go to boot
i think this is the one u neeFull SBF name ::JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6.1_TMNAB_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PD S03C_USAJRDNFRYOTMDE_P016_A013_M005_HWp3_Service1F F.sbfd
Do you have a direct link? I couldn't find it on the and-developers site... so a direct link would be great!
Until then I guess it can't hurt to try various sbf files to see if one works.
The only thing I am afraid of, is that my battery will dy during the flashing... is there a way to charge the battery in my current state? Or will it only charge when Android is booted?
Thanks for your support so far,
MrPink52
go here and follow directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175801
after reading that is the only one i could find for ya hope it works for ya
if u can get into a recovery it will charge when plugged in
I have tried some of the sbf files... and tried this one: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
that seemed to work, at least I got the logo back and could enter the Android utilities... and it seems like it is booting up blur right now... wow... what a scare.
Don't know if I will try to move to CM7 again anytime soon... I don't know what went wrong since I tried to follow tutorials.
But again thank you for your help.. I will update here again when I know for sure that everything is working
your fine dont let that scare you just wrong file its not the end of the world anyways enjoy!!!
I just did mine last night and at times it was a little scary, being the 1st time I had tried to flash a phone. I followed these directions to a point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445 I also used these directions pretty much combined the 2 to get the job done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
When I got to the point where CM7 RC1v2 was installed along with Google Apps I then rebooted and let it all start and create all the necessary caches. I then flashed the nightly from the sd card.
I did NOT do the 3g stuff mentioned in the instructions, There is an app that will let you set your baseband for your country in the app drawer called Defy Baseband

Telus s2x wont enter download mode, or boot, or cwm

I FOLLOWED ALL TUTORIALS BUT I AM STILL STUCK, PLEASE I NEED SOME HELP
So here is the story:
I had Jedi Mind Trick X, but i wanted to upgrade to CM10, and they said that the best was to get CWM Recovery 6, so i open up the ROM Manager app, and clicked on Flash CWM, everything was working fine untill the app asked for root rights, i granted it and then the app frozze. So i tried it again, and same results. So i figured out i had to see if it has updated (the cwm recovery), so i enter recovery mode, and then i can see there that it was updated (this i think, was the bad choice).
And so i start the process of flashing CM10 following the instructions, i already had a nandroid backup so i skipped that step and go right into the wipe data / factory reset. When i was on that screen the app froze, after waiting for a while that it was still froze, i shut down my device and started up again. Of course the phone didnt boot.
So at this point i had a phone that didnt boot, and a recovery that wasnt full installed (so it didnt work either). So i thinked ODIN might be the solution.
i flashed trought odin CWM 5 again and Telus stock ROM.
BUT now, the phone wont enter download mode (shuts downs), and it wont boot either. Althought, the phone DID boot once so i was happy, but it didnt work, the phone shut down by himself.
So now i cant enter recovery mode, download mode, neither boot. every time it enters a mode, it shuts down. so i need gelp
Im thinking of attaching a video of my situation.
Im sory for my english, im from Argentina.
Thanks in advance.
im starting to think tha might be a hardware problem of the power button

[Q] N7100 Bootloop, Custom Recovery failure.

It's a problem I've never encountered before.
After charging my phone, I go to my usual routine, facebook-ing. After opening the app, my phone hangs. So, i restarted it. Tried opening facebook again, and it hanged again. Another restart, this time, I didn't open facebook, but tinder instead, still hanged.
To my desperation, I went to recovery to reset my phone, unfortunately, after pressing "wipe all user data"(factory reset), the phone restarted before even finishing the process. Now I'm stuck in bootloop.
Then again, I tried dirty flashing the ROM I used before this madness (DN4), before finishing the format process of the installation, the phone restarted AGAIN.
I don't know what happened to this but I can't get pass "galaxy note II" logo and I can't install any ROMs.
Anyone who have experienced this problem? I've tried any solutions I could think of with no luck. I hope someone could help me with this one. Thank yo u very much.

flash stock through odin. then if everythings works fine you can flash custom recovery and rom again.
Try wiping system and flash again. But Odin seems to be the safest route here.

The only solution that worked was flashing official rom through Odin. Everything seems to work fine now. Thanks!

Hard bricked GT-P5200 (can still access download mode)

Hey guys
A friend of mine was flashing his Galaxy Note 3 GT-P5200 and it suddenly froze, then it restarted.
Now at every restart, it's stuck in a recovery loop.
I can still access donwload mode, and I've tried flashing several firmwares with Odin but it still reboots directly to the recovery mode and restarts.
I've tried flashing different recoveries, but it still reboots every time.
Is it hard bricked ?
If it is, what are the solutions ?
Thank you

If it stays in recovery mode long enough to perform a cache wipe, try that. Then a full data wipe/factory reset. If you can't get that to work, then I have no other ideas. You did flash a full firmware package in Odin, correct?

Unfortunately it doesn't stay on the recovery mode even half a second.
It restarts right away.
And yeah, I've flashed the correct files again and again but the problem persists.
I guess it just went to electronics heaven ...

Razer Phone stuck in bootloop

I tried to update to the latest update to the Razer Phone and was able to install it successfully, but when I went to install Magisk on the new update, it caused the Wifi to stop working. For that reason, I tried to restore my old TWRP backup I made prior to updating which everything was working before updating. I wiped cache, dalvik, data and system and restored my old backup. Now when I try to boot, it gets stuck at the Razer logo and doesn't get past that. I also tried wiping data and restoring the system image only to no avail and it didn't do anything.
Have you tried booting to TWRP and booting The other [email protected]
How long did you wait on the Razer logo.. When I reset my phone after relocking it.. It took 10+min for first boot. I was scared it wasn't gonna work but I just left it alone and it eventually booted itself up

Thanks. I'll try that and see if it works. But I let it sit for 5 or so minutes.
Edit: I'll go ahead and add it was stuck at the Razer logo. It never got to the actual boot animation.
Edit 2: I let it sit for 20+ minutes and it wouldn't boot or get past the Razer logo.

Yes I've tried switching slots and it didn't work.
Any luck with the stuck at logo screen? I followed instructions from Razer and fkashall and now it won't boot to recovery download or system . It just hangs at the logo screen for better part of 2 hours now so it's not a waiting game .. any luck in fixing yours?
hi there, same here after flashing google pixel experience on razer phone1. seems to be a general problem for many users. Any hints?
Best regards
Michael
I have the same problem, but I wasn't updating or installed any new app. I was just ordering food from an app and then all of a sudden my phone restared and got stuck in a bootloop.
I reflashed the stock rom, over and over, slot a or slot b, hoping that would fix it somehow... it's just stuck there now. I could go into download mode and recovery mode. but, it's only until there.
now it's bootloop until it gets into download mode...

I could fix it. After flashing (even Android Pi) you have to do a factory reset.
IMPORTANT: THE FACTORY RESET IN TWRP DOES NOT WORK. So you have to flash the boot-sector in your system partition with the stock boot.img and reset to STOCK RECOVERY by typing "fastboot reboot" and pressing the vol-up button. Once in stock recovery, do a factory reset and return to bootloader. Now you can flash the boot.partition with twrp boot.img, install in recovery the stock boot.img, install the twrp-installer.zip and reboot to system. The bootlogo will not stuck anymore.
I hope, I could help you. Do not forget to backup before trying.
Best regards
Mellus
sry for my bad english
