Hi All,
As mentioned in the title, my Tabt S T700 has suddenly restarted last night when browsing and is now in a bootloop.
I can't go into recovery but download mode is working.
So I am assuming that I should reflash the recovery with Odin.
The problem is Odin doesn't want to help as it gets blocked on the "Initialization" Step. I tried 2 different PC's, different USB cables but nothing works.
Cand you guys please give me a help?

Try while in download mode , press power, home, and volume down and volume up all at the same time and you should boot into a black screen as soon as you see the black screen quickly press and hold power, home, and volume up until you enter recovery.
Thank you for your answers DUHAsianSKILLZ and maxal.
@maxal, if i do this i only get to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab S ...Powerd by Android" screen. Should the device be connected or something?

That's right you do get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S splash screen you need to keep all power, home, and volume up held a bit longer until you go into recovery
I Kept pressing for about 40 seconds, still nothing.
If I release everything the tab just remains on this "Galaxy Tab" Screen.

When I try to get to recovery it stays on the very first "Samsung" screen and nothing happens.
If I restart i go through the first screen, then lead to the Animated Samsung logo and once the animation is finished the Tab restarts over and over...

I take it Odin was working fine before your problems started, hopefully someone with more knowledge will come on and help you.
I was having similar trouble with my SMT800. I could only access Download mode, from there I tried Odin, still wouldn't work. Reinstalled Odin (3.10) and it worked. Not sure if that helps or really why that worked for me , but it did.

how can i get odin to read my device if my device is stuck in the screen mentioned and when i enter download mode through usb connecting, takes me to the warning screen!! but when i press volume up it doesnt go into the next step, it goes straight to the same screen that i mentioned. thanks for replying btw, your the only person thats helped me out since i started searching for help.
Did you try the button combo to get into download/odin mode? If so you need to get a usb jig to force it into download mode so you can flash back to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Same thing happened to me. Just have Odin open and ready to go, plug phone into DL mode just like normal, when the screen pops up give Odin a second or two and then you should see the com light up yellow as Odin recognise your device. Start the flash and let Odin do it's thing and it will reboot and all will be fine.

Ok, just tried this method, when i get into download mode i click vol up and continues to the screen im stuck on. odin still didnt recognize my phone

im having the same issue with my phone. i googled around it saw ppl with the same issue, but when ppl fix their problem they didnt say how. i left a post on 3 of the threads (including 1 not on xda) but i havent received a response. i tried the hold the buttons method, the delete kies method, the just let odin flash a rom over but when odin gets to "cashe" it fails everytime. i hope i can find a fix, cuz ppl are having this problem and fixing there phone pretty quickly.

Try the second link in the second post. It worked for me. The post with the headline Odin Mode
if your screen has a pc and a warning symbol you still can odin,
open oding and conect your phone to pc while that screen you are saying pops up then see if odin recognizes..

My device is read by Odin and it flashes things. Once I flash a working rom though, it bootloops and I have no recovery to wipe data. I've never been able to get the repartition function to work
And the error I keep receiving every time almost is an error about line 1876. I have no idea what this is. I Googled it and I can't find it.
FWIW My phone would not go into download mode to save my life. I then decided to try the OE Samsung cable instead of the motorola cable I had been using and it worked right away.
Troubleshooting 101, start with the basics.
So I have the same problem as the OP. The only screen I boot to is mobile ! PC in Odin mode. This happened after I was rooted with my stock rom and CWM, but tried to do the OTA update from Kies.
My device is recognized by Odin utility, so I tried what the 2nd poster put and used Odin to flash the stock kernel (UVKID tar) from the PDA button and it failed. I used the default settings in Odin, but maybe I didn't set one right? I have attached a screen shot.
So now do I use Odin to flash the stock recovery? I'm working on making a USB jig in case that will help.
UPDATE: I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. Now it boots up like normal. I would like to try the OTA update through Kies again, but I'm worried. Any suggestions?

OK the somewhat hidden Firmware Recovery built into Kies is not to hard to find,
First you will need to write on a piece of paper your S/N and your Model #, the same way it is written under the battery on the sticker.
Second boot your phone into download mode and connect it to the computer.
Third open Kies, select the tools drop down menu.
Now you have a choice. Select Firmware Emergency Recovery to recover your current firmware version... or select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization to install the latest OTA, either way just fallow the steps on screen and when done your will have a working phone.
hit the thanks button if this helped
Bro you should check the dates out xD thx anyway though

If the 3 button method doesn't work you may be able try ADB to get into recovery.

Any of those firmwares will work on a i747
If you have a i747M or you're not ATT look here and select your correct phone information in the drop down boxes:

These will restore you to factory, you will still have to root.

Does the phone actually connect to your pc? I assume you have the proper drivers installed? Open odin while in download mode and see if it detects the phone. Sounds as if the phone's bootloader is screwed. If its detected you should be able to fix without much trouble. Sometimes you have to flash the original stock rom as the newer ones sometime have trouble for whatever reason. Version 4.0.4 i believe.

I need something like a odin flashable tar that wipes cache /resets (because this usually fixes the stuck on logo)

flashing anything with a fluky power button is very hazardous. If it goes off in the middle of something, your device could be toast.
I'd get it fixed before doing anything. if it can't be fixed....phone shopping time! [emoji106]

In case anyone doesn't know.....Odin won't see your device if kies is running. You need to kill the kies process. Make sure there's no mention of it in windows task manager.
Then, if your drivers are installed right....Odin should see your phone.
Also, I've always had the best luck with Odin 3.04.

exactly ... kies is utter ****!
I would never recommend it too. A pure waste of time
Also, see what your phone shows as in windows device manager. If its listed with an "!" on it....the drivers may need to be reinstalled. If windows doesn't see it correctly, either will Odin. ?
Problem solved, I reinstalled drivers.
That simple.
Thanks for the video btw, I even added the guy from youtube channel
please help me!! clearly i am more of a noob than I thought I was!
I rooted my phone using Odin a few months ago. Then it just crapped out on me. Now it is stuck in a boot loop mode. I can get it to recovery mood and download mode. I have tried wiping the cache partition and done the factory rest. That isn't the issue. The issue is that when I have Odin open the phone isn't being recognized. it keeps saying "USB device not recognized. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". I have tried reinstalling the drivers for my Sprint S6. I have also updated the media package for my windows 8.1. But it still isn't recognizing the phone. I also tried un instaling and reinstalling. I have smart switch but still nothing. I am not entirely sure how to fix this. Please Help!! Also, in the top left hand corner where it says "kernal is not seandriod enforcing. custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I've exhausted everything best to my knowledge. I appreciate all the help I can get from you experts. Thank all in advance from this tech noob!

Geez... that sucks, and disappointing no one has replied yet.
I hate to reply with a few of the obvious tricks- but it has happened multiple times to me that my phone won't be recognized by ODIN (or anything other than as "charging"). Usually this is solved by switching to other USB ports, and plugging-unplugging a few times, but when that fails (which it does not infrequently)- I have gotten lucky by not just restarting my computer, but actually turning it off, waiting a moment and turning it back on.
Magically sometimes that does it.
Hope that works for you, and that others more senior weigh in on this :good:
I second what spammy said.
I just spent 6 hours fixing my Sprint s6. I got it domestic unlocked and somehow near-bricked it, and then got the dreaded usb not recognized message. Shutting my laptop all the way down and letting it sit a few minutes did the trick and I was able to use Odin afterwards.
update!!
so, i got it to connect by just lifting the tongue a little. It connected to Odin. I tried to flash it using the TAR file but it keeps saying failed. Can anyone tell me why it says "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and how to fix that ? I know I have to connect it to samsung online or something but the phone is stuck in boot loop mode so I cant really do much. Like I said before I tried to flash with the 5.0.2 TAR file and ended up with the following message at the top left and corner in red and black highlight "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1" what does this mean? is there a fix? and how do I fix it? my phone is already factory rest and I lost everything so I am not concerned about that as long as I can get it to turn back on. Please help me.

Like I said before I tried to flash with the 5.0.2 TAR file and ended up with the following message at the top left and corner in red and black highlight "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1" what does this mean? is there a fix? and how do I fix it? my phone is already factory rest and I lost everything so I am not concerned about that as long as I can get it to turn back on. Please help me.

Where you previously on 5.1.1? If so I hear downgrading causes problems. Download a more recent tar.
Mine is 5.1.1 OL1 modem.
I'm betting that is your problem.

Sounds like your USB is a bit out of wack. You need to make sure that the PC you are using is finding the device properly, loading the drivers, and allowing you to access the internal storage. Just go to "My Computer" on your PC and your device should show up and allow you to access it. Otherwise trying to use Odin will be a waste of your time.
Once you have that Odin should find it no problem. However, if your microUSB on the device is acting intermittent and you start flashing in Odin and it disconnects for a sec there will be issues. You don't want an interrupt during the flash.
If you can do all this go to this link and download Odin 3.10.6 and the OJ7 tar file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/general/how-to-to-100-stock-root-t3075448
Don't use previous version of Odin as they are confirmed to have issues flashing some tar files on the S6. If it doesn't work try doing another factory reset through stock recovery and try again.
Report back your findings to continue troubleshooting if needed.
Thank you! progress/update

so, i downloaded the 5.1.1 Tar file progress is that I am going to flash it. I have been using the most updated version of Odin (3.10.7) could that be causing the issue? the phone stays connected while its flashing in Odin. Once it is connected I dont mess with it? Also, please answer me if I am able to fix this issue and will i be able to get my phone booted?

I have not used the 3.10.7 version yet but should not be a problem.
Download the tar file, connect the device and make sure Odin shows the device as connected/ready, hit the AP button and select your tar file, then flash and let finish. Then it will reboot automatically and boot up normally.
Try this and post your findings.

Dont worry about that. That's what happened to me, but that screen functions the same as Download mode. you can still flash tar files from there.
Here was the link to the tar files I used.

Gladi80rPrincess09 said:
please help me!! clearly i am more of a noob than I thought I was!
I rooted my phone using Odin a few months ago. Then it just crapped out on me. Now it is stuck in a boot loop mode. I can get it to recovery mood and download mode. I have tried wiping the cache partition and done the factory rest. That isn't the issue. The issue is that when I have Odin open the phone isn't being recognized. it keeps saying "USB device not recognized. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it". I have tried reinstalling the drivers for my Sprint S6. I have also updated the media package for my windows 8.1. But it still isn't recognizing the phone. I also tried un instaling and reinstalling. I have smart switch but still nothing. I am not entirely sure how to fix this. Please Help!! Also, in the top left hand corner where it says "kernal is not seandriod enforcing. custom binary blocked by frp lock"
I've exhausted everything best to my knowledge. I appreciate all the help I can get from you experts. Thank all in advance from this tech noob!

Hi to all,
yesterday I attempted to install LineageOS on my LG G4 h815.
I followed this tutorial -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/howto-complete-guide-to-unlock-twrp-t3370003
Everything went fine. I was able to boot under LineageOS reinstall my apps etc, etc.
This morning when I woke up everything seemed normal too. But, few minutes ago, I sent an SMS via Google Messages the phone froze and then black screen.
When it froze I had 97% battery.
Ï tried to reboot it with power button -> Nothing.
I tried to remove the battery put it back on and pressed the power button -> One tiny vibration but nothing
I tried several times the same last process and finally I managed to get the screen with "Bootloader state : Unlocked !", but I cannot go further.
If I connect the phone with a USB cable, wether he's "turned on" or turned off no led is blinking.
Does someone have a clue to fix this or has ever encountered this issue ?
Tanks in advance and do not hesitate to refer to an old post. I wil check (but found no same case).
Jérémie.

If you can get it in to download mode use you laptop to flash recovery this is probably why it has failed.......remember Google s your friend.

Just to perfectly understand.
Are you advising me to flash my recovery with an older version via my laptop (I imagine via adb/fastboot) despite I can't even get my LG be recognized by my laptop ?
Will the adb/fastboot command be functional as the LG seems not to be recognized on the PC?

The best way to get your laptop I recognize your phone is to get LG up running then with the usb plugged n drop the battery out then put battery back in then close off LG up.
Then start it again and when it go's into download mode the pull usb and close off LG up Then plug it back in with dos prompt open............

Thanks for your reply and your time. I didn't know this software "LG Up", I will give it a try this evening (in France ^^') and give you feedback then.

LG UP had no effect on the phone.
However, now the phone seems to have 0% battery and when I try to boot it I get the graphics to plug the phone on a source of energy. Once I do that the front led is blinking in orange (I guess because I had less than 1 or 2% o battery) and now the front led is still lit on in orange. Is this a good news or I'm hoping for nothing.
Anyway tomorrow I will try to get it back to my retailer.
Does anyone succedeed to get it replaced by LG even if the bootloader is unlocked ?
Thanks.
After a little journey to the repair shop of my retailer everything seems to work correctly, for the moment, with LineageOS !
Thanks everyone for your help !
