TAB S8.4 BRICKED, Give me a hand please - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, I will tell you this sad story. Galaxy Tab S8.4 Android 6.0
Well it started like this: screen flickering and restarting. Once on a while for a couple of months, then It became too frecuent, a couple of days ago like a bootloop. So I decided to wipe the data in Recovery Mode. I did, when it was happening the tablet rebooted...
I thought it was a battery problem so I bought a new one and installed it by myself.
Now when connected to the battery charger it just show the battery icon empty and then at 100%. I can't turn on the tablet with no charger connected. Even when connected it does not turn on, but I can acces to Recovery mode and Download mode. In recovery mode it shows an error on the inferior left corner, I don't remmember now what it says.
I wanted to flash a stock rom by Odin, but it does not recognize the tablet when connected on Download Mode.
What do you think I can do?

I was able to flash by Odin the 6.0 rom, but when it was over, it did not go to the installing app thing as usual.
What can I do?

Disconnect the battery wait a few minutes then reconnect it again then put it in download mode and flash with Odin and see how it goes.

Looks like it's going directly to recovery.
Flash again with odin, it should auto boot to recovery and complete the update after odin finishes flashing, then it will reboot itself.

[Q] Screen Blinking Problem (GT-N5110)

Later this night my tablet was working perfectly... I was charging the tablet that was with %1 of battery
Suddenly, the tablet turned off, and when I tryed to turn it back on, the screen started blinking, and I coulnd't even turn it on because it freezes every time i tryed to boot it...
I tryed restoring a Nandroid Backup, and it worked, for 10 seconds :victory:
The blinking started again, so I tried flashing a new ROM, maybe it could work, but no
I wiped the data, cache dalvik-cache, and formated system, but when I tried to choose the ROM, this message "Couldn't mount /sdcard" appeared
So, my last chance was to flash a firmware via Odin, but also, didn´t work
I enter into Download Mode, loaded the firmware, clicked start, and "FAIL" when writing "boot"
What I tried
_Stock firmware 4.1.2
_Stock firmware 4.2.2
_Odin 3.07
_Odin 3.09
_Windows 8
_Windows 8.1
First what was the % of the battery??? Did you say one (1) ? Try charging it all the way till it says 100%
Second do you still have custom recovery? If so go to mounts and storage and see if it says unmount in front of the SD card ... if so hit that and it should turn to unmount... then try again to find your Rom.
Hoping this helps you

Never flash or attempt to start a device under minimum power. That is rule number one!
Like the above answer, with the device off, plug in power and let it charge to 100%.
Start up recovery, and flash a backup ROM.
Not sure about windows 8. can't vouch for you there.

Sorry if didn't specified better...
When it got broken the battery was %0, and I don't know if it´s getting charged because the only things I can do es enter into Download Mode, or watch that message about a bad flashing.
And about the Recovery, it got lost when the flashing went wrong. Anyway something happened with the internal storage that "wasn't mount", when in "mounts and storage" menu appeared like mounted
You think that if I charge the tablet some hours, will I be able to flash through Odin?
Or maybe any other idea?

When the tablet is off and you plug in the charger there should a battery "popping" up and should tell you how many % of charge it has, just let it charge all the way to 100%
Once it is completely charged you should be able to flash via Odin.
But the internal storage is kind of worrisome to me, when you tried to flash you did not by accident have the re-partition checked? I hope.
Anyway wait till its completely charged and try flashing a Stock Rom again.

The thing is that battery popping up doesn't appear... There's just a message telling me that the flashing went wrong...
Anyway, I´m gonna rey letting it charge some houts and then try to flash again...
Thanks

Try holding down the power button with the charger cable detached and see if that message disappears, it looks to me that the tablet is still on, if it does disappear plug your charge cable in and see what happens.

I had the same problem. In my case, i realize that it had happend a few days after I opened the tablet (n5110). After the blinking problem, I opened again and disconneted the battery with the power cable on. Waited for a few seconds and confirm that the blinking is same side effect of the battery disconnected or with bad connection. After reconnect the battery, everything ok and charging normally again. Good luck for you all!
I have My Samsung GTN 5100 with me.Last day I plug it for charging and I went out. When i back it was 100% charged and i just leave it as it is. Suddently I started continually looping 'Samsung GTN 5100 Note 8.0'
Then I tried to hard reset by using Power Vol down and home. It doesnt Work, then try to open down load mode. It doesnt wrok. I hv tried wit Odin and Kies. the device is not recognize bt the PC. is there any software or method for gard brick

i have identical problem. i disconnected also battery, but changes nothing. Any ideas?
I have similar problem and solved
I have similar problem, I left the phone charged, and suddenly the phone switched off and on again, the screen start blinking rapidly and stuck in boot screen. If I turned off and charge it, no battery signal pop, only empty battery with white circle (I thought it was stuck when the phone tried to show battery charging animation).
This is what have done:
1. Open the back case of the phone and checked the battery, and it was OK, but the phone still has same behavior after I put the battery back.
2. Tried to flash using ODIN and no luck, because the phone was not detected.
3. I suspect there was a connection problem between ODIN and the phone, so I checked the cable and PC USB driver, still no luck.
4. I am lucky have spare USB charger connector part (Female USB connector attached in the bottom of the phone with small PCB and ribbon cable). I replaced the part.
5. Try re-run ODIN and the phone was detected, I flashed it and my phone back to normal
I am not sure what cause the blinking screen, maybe there was some glitch in the software, but it is fixed after flashing the ROM using ODIN.
For undetected phone, I suggest you check the computer USB driver, USB cable and the connector. And for preemptive action, I suggest you force charging the phone, even no charging animation appear to make sure the phone is flashed with sufficient power.
Hope this helps you to solve the problem.

If your phone is stock try to hard reset with buttons combination.
If you have root and twrp then look on android development for stock rooted rom to flash again from recovery.
For else you must found stock kdz rom to flash it on download mode.

You have custom recovery on your G4 or stock?
Στάλθηκε από το LG-H815 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
alright, this is what i did:
I unlocked bootloader
Following the LG unlock bootloader site guide (http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS)
then i installed TWRP: following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/recovery-twrp-2-8-6-0-touch-recovery-t3125859
then installed SuperSU..
after this i logged into the phone again, everything was working, started installing normal apps from the appstore, everything was working and then needed to reboot the phone and it got stuck on the logo, havent been able to
get it back on..
this is what i have done after this: tryed to get into recovery by pressing buttons, but i cant get into the recovery am i hiting the wrong buttons?
then i tryed hard reset with button combinations restart the phone but still nothing happends, still stuck on logo..
when i try to connect the phone to the pc aslong as its stuck on the logo the pc dosnt find the phone, so i cant command it to go to recovery by commaneder.
to answer about the custom rom, i havent installed anything else then TWRP and SuperSU.
factory data reset was the last thing i did yesterday. still gets tuck on the logo.

I Did this Charge battery fully. 2) Plug charging cable into computer's USB. 3) Pull battery from LG G4 for a few seconds. 4) Plug other end of cable into LG G4 at the same time plug battery in. 5) If the boot loop continues go back to and repeat steps 3 and 4. Or alternate with steps 3 then 6. 6) Hold the power button and volume down button at the same time. Plug in the battery.
After a while this brought up the Optimizing Apps screen and once that completed phone booted successfully. Once booted, promptly enable Airplane mode. When I disable Airplane mode the LG G4 goes back to boot loop. but I took out mem card & Verizon sims card seems to be working now
My lg g4 h818p struck on lg logo and iam not able to recharge the battery ,which is required for connect to lg bridge and upgrade recovery form it please help

Galaxy tab s 10.5 Stock Firmware Bricked me

Hey guys, I could REALLY use some help with this. So i had my tablet Rooted. Then after a while my google play store wouldn't respond and I couldn't update any apps. So I decided to revert back to stock firmware. This was the file I had used.
(T800XXU1BOJ1_T800XAR1BOJ1_HOME.tar.md5)
I have the Tab S 10.5 bronze.
So I installed it with Odin and I noticed on Odin it said (Succeeded 0/ Failed 0) and the tablet didn't reboot itself. so I thought okay... it must not have worked. Let me reboot the tablet myself. Mind you the screen on the tablet was still in Odin (Download) Mode. After I reboot it, it went into the same bootloop with the TEAMWIN icon popping up over and over again. So I reboot it again to try and put back into download mode. Well it wouldn't. It just popped up with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S Icon and kept repeating that spot. So once again I turned it off to try and get it into Odin mode, and now it wont turn on at all.
Okay. As i was typing this, i have the tablet connected to the computer and it just randomly turned itself on and now its in the TEAMWIN bootloop again. I don't wanna touch it until I get someones opinion on what to do next...
AWESOME it bootlooped itself again but this time when the samsung logo popped up I held the volume button and got it into Odin Mode! now.... what to do next? I dont want to try the same Stock FIrmware. Idk if it was the problem or not.
alright so here is what I just did..
The tablet rebooted itself while I was typing that message while it was plugged into the PC. It turned itself on but when it was at the Samsung Logo I quickly pressed the Volume button and had gotten it into Odin Mode. I disconnected it from the PC, loaded up the Stock firmware from the first post. Plugged in the Tablet while it was in the Downloading Odin Mode. Hit start on Odin and it did the rest. Now the issue is it reboot, samsung logos popped up and went away. the Samsung logo with the little blips of light/stars around it came up. then it said Installing Applications with a loading bar. That lasted about 2 seconds then went back to the samsung logo with the stars. Then the tablet shut off and now i cant get it back on again.....
Hold POWER + VOL DOWN
Yeah. I know that. That's how I got it into Odin mode.. Thanks for four word incredibly helpful post...
Are you sure you downloaded the correct software for your device? You could try another region's firnware or re-download the one you used.
Since you still see the Teamwin icon I guess it didn't install the firmware correctly or all of it since your recovery should be the stock one again after flashing. Or did you remove items from the .tar file you try to flash?

Mi A2 Lite won't start

Hello,
After simply rebooting, the phone (Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite) won't stop loading Android. It is stuck at the loading bar indefinitely.
It is stock, not modded or rooted, and it wasn't updating so it is very strange. I tried to wipe cache partition but it doesn't have this option.
Can you help me? I wanted to keep my pictures and apps if possible.
Thank you.

Reflash stock rom without fastboot erase userdata
Hello everyone. i have a strange problem. my phone is completely dead. was working fine. can't turn it on, battery was replaced, nothing. when i plug in the charger a white light flashes and that's all. Tried to reset by unplugging battery, holding buttons, nothing. pc won't recognize it.
Finally i ended up shorting with a pair of tweezers the IP8 and BOOT dots on the board and connect it to the pc. it came up as Qualcom hs-usb QDLoader 9008 (COM).
The mi flash tool recognizes it as com 9 but can't flash.
I downloaded the stock rom, renamed as mprg. i get an error after 2 sec (reached end of file.)

The only sign i'm getting is that flashing white light. it turns off after 5 min if i leave it on charge...was working fine and just suddenly turned off. Must be a software issue... It does the same with the new battery as well as old battery. Both charged up as i mesured voltage(4.07)

What about the questions I did? And in which mode you are trying to flash?
It doesn't seem a battery issue.

Question Mi 11 Lite (courbet) sometimes starts and most of the time gets stuck in Mi Logo bootloop...

Since a few months, I'm facing this problem. The phone is working OK when I can get to the system, but If I turn it off or the battery runs off, it gets stuck on a loopboot: the Mi logo shows and restarts itself after a few seconds. Can't access the recovery mode (it just restarts again to the Mi logo), fastboot works tho'.
The only way I have to get to the system is to start the Fastboot Mode, keep the phone on it to drain the battery and once it's empty, plug it to the charger and try to boot 15-20 times until it magically works.
I've never unlocked the bootloader or tried to install anything, the ROM and Recovery are the Xiaomi's stock EEA. I'm on MIUI 13.
Any ideas about how I can fix this weird behavior? Anybody has faced the same problem?
Thanks for reading/helping and happy new year to you all!
