Hi XDA,
I've searched in many threads but i can't find an anwser.
I've bricked my Galaxy Gio when i flashed a custom kernel. It was the kernel in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319816
Now it does nothing, I can't boot in any mode, not in download mode, not in recovery mode...
I have android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
Is there any way to unbrick or is my phone just an expensive decoration now.
Thanks in Advance.
Hi !!!
same new here
This ll work in some cases
Hope this will work in your device as well
Pull the battery to kill the boot loop (or whatever is hosed up), put the phone into downloading mode and re-flash the stock ROM.
Free to try...
Thanks for quick reply but i can't go into download mode as i said. Also my phone is just totally off and won't boot at all. My pc also doesn't detect it when it is plugged in.

If not even adb detects it, i'm pretty sure you're buggered, mate.
did you try and leave the battery out for some 10 min or more?
If adb does not detect the phone after that, then it seems to be a brick for real.
Is your phone stop at the "samsung" when you turn on your phone?
If is this,it's very easy to unbrick
One easy procedure which you might want to try with no guarantee it'll work:
-Remove the battery, microSD and SIM from the phone.
-Prepare the Odin software and your ROM on a known working system
-Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable.
-With one hand, simultaneously hold Volume down, home and power.
-With your other hand, put the battery in the phone.
I was able to get Odin to detect an otherwise bricked phone this way. I was however unable to get further than the "setup connection" step. Maybe your outcome will be better.

Yes this way usually works. I've tested this way.
that worked for me to on a brick when it didnt even went on, no recovery, download mode etc, after waiting 2 weeks and trying to repair it myself I nearly throw it away, and then suddenly it went into download mode for about 1 or 2 seconds, wich told me the battery whasn't working.. so I started to charge the battery, and hoped it would boot, but it didn't.. using that method given above, I could get into download mode again, and flashes a new stock ROM. now I still have my phone, working.

I had my mainboard replaced at a service center... Probably not the news you would have liked, but I'm afraid that's your next step as well.

Hey guys, My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (Wifi) Won't turn on anymore. Don't even charge! My brother was playing minecraft until my Tablet's life reach 0% (Died). Then I charged it, It's still charging after 30 mins of charging I turned it on then the SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 logo appear (Start-Up) but it fails like it shutted down. I tried charging it again but it wont charge anymore nor turn on, I'm not using any ROM but i rooted my SGT 3 10.1
Anyone knows how to fix this? Please help asap!
Try different charger, usb cable, leave it for a while then try charging it, plug it into computer usb port or plug out sd card then try

Okay, Gonna try those now and hope something will fixed this. I'll reply if it works or not soon
Edit :
Be right back in 2 hours to check everything.
Edit Again :
My Tablet is fixed now, Thanks dude.
What I did is stopped charging for 10 minutes then i charged it using PC/Laptop then waited 1 hour, then charge it on normal then it started to charge and turned on. but again, stuck on SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 3 logo then shut down....
None of those works. Any other idea?
I would do the process over again. But do not start the tablet. See if you can get into recovery mode (Vol+ / Power) or download mode (Vol- / Power). If that is successful then leave it there for awhile. Power off and try again. If good, then I would reload the OEM Rom or a backup that you may have. But I would not try powering the unit again. There might be a corrupt file caused by the initial improper shutdown.
It got even Worse, I tried to do the process again but it DOESNT turn on or Charge anymore. I waited 1 hour then charge, still, charge 2 hours, still. What to do now? Theres no helper here on our village except me so please help me
If your device is not charging then I wonder if it is the charger and not the device. I don't think the battery could go bad that fast. I could be wrong, but I don't think. So that leads me to believe that your charger possibly is not working like Ripshock mentioned.
Is the charger the OEM that came with the Tablet?
If not, can it produce 5vdc @ 2 amps?
What about the USB cable, is it OEM that came with the Tablet?
If not, is it wired correctly and can it handle 2 amps?
Regardless of how you answered the questions, I would seek another source for charging. I don't think the PC will charge. I don't believe the USP ports are setup to handle that much current. I could be wrong, but again, you might seek out another source for charging.
UPC won't charge tab. It has to be plugged into an eletrical outlet

As I suspected, but I thought I read somewhere that the PC can be setup to do just that on the USB port. Key phrase is "thought I read".
Nah. For some reason the tablet can't charge and transmit data through the cable at the same time unlike our phones and other devices. Personally i think it's stupid that it won't charge but hey that's how they were made lol. I use a very good cable too.

Well, I have been to this situation more than once (Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, which are both family tablets). Do a "force boot"
Steps:
1.) Leave it there for, like, 4 hours or while it is charging do step 2.
2.) Now, press the power, volume up, volume down and home button together, until the it boots up completely
3.) Charge the tablet again..
Easy as that.. If that does not work, remove the battery inside (You need to have proper tools and a hand that can search youtube)
or, even if that does not work, your brother may have screwed something up (Either by dirty flashing another ROM or by doing some dangerous system modifications).. Your last hope is the repair shop (If you have warranty, send it back to a SAMSUNG REPAIR SHOP and act dumb, they will fix it for you, free of charge.)
I am not 100% sure here, but I don't think pressing the home key while using the power and vol keys will do anything. I believe that to be a process found on some of the other Samsung devices, but not the P5210. I personally have not tried it and I really don't want too knowing right now that my machine is working just fine. Would hate to do something that I cannot reverse.

Yep, I did those steps. and it's turning on now. but i cant start it up. When I open it, it goes to TWRP mode. This happens when I wipe all my phone cache,dalvik,etc (everything) then when i restarted the system it says "no OS installed, still continue?" I choose yes, then it said "your tablet's root could be corrupted, want to install a fresh new one?" I choose yes then my tablet restarts but on TWRP again, I install a rom named Pimpdroid then restarted the tablet, still the same (Always go to TWRP mode even i'm not press power+up volume+home bottom together) Just the power button but it goes to TWRP mode, i tried installing other roms but its still the same. If you can't understand properly due to my poor english. I can make a video on it if u r willing to help me. I really need help guys since theres no repair shop here its just an island!
Does anyone experienced this problem already? or does anyone knows how to fix this problem? Help me please

When it asked to reinstall the root, say NO. Then power off the unit. Do not try and run the tab at this time. There is no OS. Start the tab in download mode. Connect to PC and start ODIN. Load the OEM Rom. This is the only way to get things back to normal unless you have saved a backup. If you have a back up, then start the tab in recovery mode (TWRP/CWM) and restore from backup.
I would recommend NOT installing Pimpdroid or any other rom until you have a fully operational tablet again. Best to always start from a fresh OEM Rom.
What is OEM Rom? and where can I download it?
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacture
OEM Rom is the firmware that was developed by Samsung and is the only official Rom for your device. All the other roms that are developed here are done so with caveats placed on them. Mainly that the roms can damage your device or brick it (cause it to fail completely).
Original firmware (OEM Rom) can be found here. In the search window just enter the model number of the device you have. In this case that would be P5210. It will take several hours to download the rom as it is huge, on the order of 1.9GB. Just be patient. It is always a good idea to have the OEM Rom safely tucked away on you computer for situations like this.

It's just like a rom? after downloading ill just install it like other roms?
and, Which country firmware should I download? There are tons of Country but the same rom
You will download the version for your country. I have no information about your whereabout. So you will have to find the rom for your country or region of the world.
You will need to extract the MD5 file from the zip and place it on your computer. Once extracted, you will open ODIN and load the MD5 file into the PDA slot and upload it to your device. Don't worry about the SS_DLL file. It will take some time to load into ODIN and then some time to load into your device. Do not stop the upload or interrupt. Once loaded, you will then restart your device and configure it like it was brand new out of the box.
The standard recovery will be loaded also. If you desire to load TWRP or CWM, you can if you want. You can also root the device. But I would not recommend loading any of the other roms until you get a better understand of what that rom does and how to load it. There are many posts on XDA that tell you how to load an OEM (stock) Rom. Just do a search for them. No need to be redundant here.
Just be careful.

Well, This is pretty weird. There's no Philippines (Which is my country) OEM rom and on the Tablet, it wont go to Recovery mode or Download mode. because when I charge my tablet it automatically opens then go to TWRP. When i turned it off it goes to normal charging. Then when I try to open it using this (Power button+volume up+ Home) it still goes to TWRP mode. How to fix this?
So I have had this device since February and finally decided I wanted to Unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and get some cool new roms on it. I have the GPE by the way.
Anyways so I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP and then rooted the device by flashing a zip file for root. I assumed the tablet got rooted so I then decided to try the multi window hack and flashed that. Well it caused some apps to corrupt (the phone app in particular) and they would keep crashing preventing me from doing anything. I decided to go back into recovery and try to do a data and cache wipe but that did not help. Eventually I wiped the entire OS which was a mistake. I was still able to get into recovery mode but I have no SD card to load up with a rom to flash and it was late to go buy one. I also tried ADB through the recovery mode that did not seem to work.
I did some searching and found out that I could download the LGMlauncher and it could get me back to stock but to use that I needed my serial number which is on the box (which I had at the office). So I plugged it in (and got the little battery icon) and a few hours ago went to the office to get the box. I tried the LGMlauncher and it keeps on crashing while trying to update and now I am not able to get into recovery mode. What are some other steps I can take to try and recover it?
Thanks.
Edit: I tried the LGMlauncher again and it said my battery was low so I plugged it back in. is there a trick to charging it while it is off? I assume that could be why recovery mode wont work.

Yeah It appears as though the battery was not charging even though I had plugged it in and now it is dead. I cannot seem to get it to go into recovery or anything. Is it safe to say it is bricked?
When my HP Touchpads battery was to low to take a charge from the wall charger, the only way it could get enough charge to be able to use the wall charger was to trickle charge it from my computer usb port for a couple of days.

the best advice in your case would be to edit your post - insert commas and dots.
in download mode flash stock rom via odin. you can try different versions of Odin.

I've tried that with multiple roms. I have even tried to install a custom ROM by I don't think USB debugging was turned only. I checked the volts on the battery they are fine. It won't do anything unless it is plugged into something via USB. After every attempt with Odin it either did absolutely nothing or only be to restore or, where I'm a now, stuck on the galaxy note 2 screen and does nothing.

Hello
I got the note 2 to go to the note 2 screen but it stops after that and goes to the battery charging screen.
Guys I need your help
I don't know what happened to my Note II phone.
Only thing I've done was to root it. I'm still using the same O.S. I haven't tried flashing something on it before
Here's what happened.
I was just chillin, chatting on Messenger when all of a sudden, the phone LED indicator flashes but it doesn't unlock. then the phone died and when i was trying to charge it, there was only a charge icon on the screen but it wasn't moving.
The next day i bought a new battery and now what happened was that it wasn't going through the Galaxy Note II screen (bootloop perhaps?) i tried going through recovery mode -- dead android icon then it shuts down. and i was still able to access download mode
before i was able to follow the soft brick recovery mode, all of a sudden it doesn't even go to recovery/download mode anymore
LED indicator does not turn on for charging even if i plug it into the charger.
What do i need to do? i don't have JTAG as an option
I read somewhere that I you can boot hardbricked phones using an SD card by doing something about partition stuff there will that work? :laugh::laugh::laugh: hope to get some replies from you guys :good::good:

Not much you can do if the phone can't get into recovery mode.
When connected to a computer, do any devices appear in the device manager?
I am also facing the same problem,,,,..not entering to recovery mode .......when trying to install stock firmware through odin (using windows 10)it says nand write and next step fail....i didn't even root my phone.....please friends help me....Thanks in advance....and yes it enters to download mode
Are you using the original Samsung USB cable? Tried other USB cables and all USB ports on the computer? What is the specific Odin error?
