Is my device bricked? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an issue on my device (Galaxy Tab S 8.4). I´m either stuck on boot loop (flashed with TWRP that worked fine for months until recently after a restart) or I can enter download mode and get stuck at the "Download... Do not turn off target!"-screen. Cant ever enter recovery no matter how I try... If I let the battery die it boots up into the boot loop as soon as I plug in the power chord. Is my device bricked or can this be fixed somehow?

[Q] Can't Get Into Recovery Or Download Mode

So I bought 2 broken Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 from a friend knowing that the screens were cracked and that there were pass codes but I just figured I could replace the screens and then wipe them. Fast forward to today and I got one fixed but it won't go into recovery or download mode. I do the right button sequences for each one and but it just boots up as normal. All the buttons function and I tested them with the device on but no matter what I do it just starts up as normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do?
Just replaced the actual volume buttons and still no luck. Any one have any idea?
Rooted ?
Options:
If you can get into system ( normal bootup ) try enable USB debugging and install ADB on PC then run adb reboot boot loader or adb reboot recovery
or
If you are rooted, install Rom Toolbox and use reboot option
or
Use a usbjig, its small and cheap XD once you plugged in you can reboot into boodloader
Sorry to bump this so late but I just started trying to fix these again and still can't figure out what to do with this one. New buttons are installed and they work when the tablet is on but whenever I try to boot into recovery or download mode it just boots normal. At a lost here any suggestions?
Ok ordered a USB jig and got it into download mode. Loaded stock from odin and it still popped up with password so I flashed stock again with odin but erased NAND and now I'm just stuck at the final samsung screen and it won't boot. Tried 2 different stock roms with no luck no idea what to do

[Q] TWRP Loop

Hi,
I had rooted my device with TWRP Recovery installed. I then updated my Cyanogen 12 version from cm-12-20150430-NIGHTLY to cm-12-20150502-NIGHTLY. Post that, I did a factory reset from CM12. Since then, my phone has been stuck in a constant TWRP Loop where the TWRP logo keeps flashing every few seconds. Unable to access the recovery. The phone buttons do not power off or restart the phone. However, I can access fastboot if i let the battery run out and then start the phone. Please help me.

Note 2 gt-n7100 not working

Hi everyone!
I'm stuck with my galaxy note 2..
Here's my problem,
At first, I was stuck at the boot up screen but the phone did not boot.
There was a problem with the battery, replaced it but still no change.
I though maybe I should flash a stock ROM through Odin - I did that, it said pass but yes the phone remained shut down.
Disconnected the device and tried to turn it on and since than I'm stuck and says the phone can't boot up - try to connect it to kies recovery mode.
Tried that - no success.
Tried flashing ROM again - did not work,
It was stuck on sending pit, or either crashed and failed after almost flashing the ROM completely..
Now the phone is shut down and not booting at all.
What can I do ?
Need help asap!
Thanks and have a nice day .. :laugh:

Connect phone with PC and check if you Notification light turn on or not.
If it's still on, your phone got hard bricked (maybe because you mess with custom roms and TWRP). Next time follow Flash guide in each custom roms.
You can use unbrick hardbrick method (free) or get service (paid). I recommend try free method first but when use SP Flash tool, remember ONLY use "Download Only" (Some stupid local shop can use Format and you can lose IMEI too, so careful).
You can find that method easily on: Youtube, XDA, Github, Telegram,...
If you have any error, you can reply here or join Telegram group to get help.
hi i already using SP Flash tool but i stuck at this level..
