Hi guys,
you are my last hope, iam probably the unluckiest person making decisions regarding tablets. So first i tried this "[MOD] Thermal mod of T805/T800 boost performance by 150%" - yes indeed the performance was "good" but afterall it sucked my tablet overnight in "standby" closely to 50% down. Even after i reset deathly auditor to default, it didnt changed the battery drain. I went even further buying a new battery, but still battery drain was in Standby around 5-10% per hour. So i went on and bought a new tablet matepad 10.4, just to find out it cant be installed with google services... so back to my old T800 and i tried to give it a last heart surgery - i wanted a fresh install of lingeos, but soon i recognized that normal "factory reset by menu" doesnt worked for me. But as it was a rooted T800 i just went into recovery over an app which was recommended here in a other thread and it booted into recovery (TWRP). I went for "factory reset" . Now i have a clean lingeos 14.1 - but my root is gone, and even worse i cant come into download mode nor hard reset! I tried everything, even discharging completly etc... The Combo Power - V Down - Menu doenst work. My PC wont recognize the tablet neither, i cant change the option "usb charging" into transfer, nothing happens!
Is there any possibility left so i can get into download mode and freshly install lingeos with root etc?
thank you in advance

This is a list of events that I have gone through today. I received a new charger because the old one I had became defective & was charging my phone up & then it would go back down to 0% & then shut off & it would end up in a problem where the phone would not turn on unless I pulled out the battery while the AC was in & then it was able to charge but still it would turn on, on its own to drain the battery when off & this was very frustrating. The charger I have now works but the device acts strange over the last few months doing a task29 & flashing the first ROM after would make that ROM not work & then I had to flash a totally different ROM to make it work. I was using Android & it had died a few times & also I experienced the same thing I did when it would charge up & go back down to 0%. please read below:
I got my new charger today & at 62% of charge I decided to flash to a custom ROM via mem card again well the ROM was a success but when pulling battery out to restart it didnt want to work. So I went to flash again in bootloader by memory card it shut off on me in the middle & restarted into bootloader again & shut off again right away. I did a task29 it worked got it out of bootloader & now the orange led flashes off & on when its off & now ive gotten that to stop. What exactly is wrong with this device?
it was @ 73% and finally setup a ROM NRGY however it ended up shutting off on its self & going into a power boot loop constantly restarting until that ROM can no longer start & now its stuck on the boot screen w/ its info.
I flashed the stock SPL on USB now im going to try to flash the carriers ROM back.
Stock SPL = Successful!
2nd Touch Pro 2 ROM Version Flash = Successful!
Its working for now. Battery is @ 80%
AHH! After charging to 100% idk what it did but when I went into the other room to check out its all possessed.
I have a black screen w/ white text that says:
The device is unable to boot because either you have turned off the device incorrectly or tried to install an application from untrusted source.
Press Volume Up to reset your device or press any other button to cancel.
This operation will delete all your personal data and restore the device to its factory default settings.
IDK how this happened.
When I hit any key it didnt do anything it was stuck until I did a battery pull. Then I restarted the device it was stuck at the boot screen w/ its red info. It erased the entire ROM. Then I tried to do recover mode & it did nothing. I tried to flash the stock ROM again & no results & then again & still no results. I think its now not accepting the ROM at all since from: in the ROM update utility is blank.
Now it decides to get past the boot screen but then it malfunctions again & restarts itself & it tries to setup a 2nd time then after it does & its on sense home for a couple of mins it reboots twice & now its stuck on the boot screen again.
Things that I can think of.
- Isn't your batterie just broken? You will break your batteries when you deplete them completely. Maybe try a new batterie, because you said that you let it die for a few times. It could be that this is causing your problems.
- Did you flash true usb when you were in the bootloader? Give that a try, because I believe that the customruu performs some sort of checks. Maybe this is nonsens, but you can try it.
The battery was fully charged & it was working better than before.
I reflashed the Stock SPL to flash the carriers ROM back & that worked but at anytime it just rebooted for whatever reason to make it so the ROM was unusable at any time I would reboot it would decide to actually go past it seldom. I experienced that at one point oddly it went into setup n it did it again after a while its just acting strange.
If you're back to stock SPL and stock ROM, can't you just send it back for a warranty replacement ?
IDK how old it is. I bought it brand new from ebay.

No warranty bro...
You can try but no warranty 9/10 times.
What ROM are you using? I used to have that issue with my betas.
It wld destroy itself after softreset and I would have to reflash.
Try to flash, turn off right after it boots, turn on and see how that works for ya.
Rep had told me I could get it replaced & they know I bought from ebay. But I havent called them on this yet.
It doesnt work. It usually doesnt go past the boot screen. Flashing does nothing to help it. Whenever it feels like it it may have to stay on for a few mins to go into setup but most of the time it will stay there & reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot each time its a different # of times & it will reset itself at anytime. Ive even had bootloader shut off on me & restart itself during flashing its a pain. I had another issue I didnt mention my device on any custom ROM when I had 0.85 olinex SPL the device would just freeze & not respond every time. Now this is a different situation. I am back of SPL 0.87 which is the default. I flashed the entire carrier ROM which 0.79 was rewritten w/ 0.87 & that was successful but its still rebooting & causing fatal problems including the black screen w/ white text.
UPDATE: I just walked into the kitchen. Somehow the device turned on by itself & now its sitting on the sense home screen. I know its not fixed but idk why it would turn itself on.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try flashing task 29 1st... Might be because when you flash remnants of the older OS are still there causing trouble. Remember though, you need to have Hard SPLed it 1st....
I got so frustrated I just got done calling T-Mobile Tech Support & they are going to ship me a replacement.

I thought I would reply to you.
This is what started my problems is when I did a task 29 my device was acting funny afterwards. I did it again about a month later cuz I flashed way too much & it kept getting worse. But Task29 didnt help this time its what caused me to have to flash 2 different ROMs cuz the first one I flash after doesnt work.
I received the battery & it didnt do anything.
I'm still waiting on the replacement to come.
Stock galaxy nexus, ui force closed. Powered off. Can get into recovery mode to attempt to reinstall stock rom. It shows a droid with an opened chest, with a red triangle above it when I try to go to recovery mode from the odin screen.
Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to flash using a mac? I have limited access to a pc.
Thanks all.
This is the hspa version.

The android icon you're referring to sounds like the stock recovery. In order to flash a ROM (even stock) from recovery mode, you'll need to load a custom recovery. This requires the device to be unlocked.
Not very often a stock setup needs to be restored. Generally, with the stock setup, only the /data partition is wiped (revert to factory default) and the issues are cleared. Not sure why a stock setup would need to be restore.
If you're still going to pursue reloading the system, without access to the normal android mode, the best route will be using fastboot. This can be done on a mac and the fastboot commands should be the same.
Hope that helps get a start!
This happened me earlier. I was able to factory reset it, which, unfortunately really annoyed me because I hadn't saved a backup..
Before the "Google" logo shows up, press and hold the power button and the volume up and down buttons.
Then go into recovery mode using the volume buttons.
When it reboots, you get that Droid with the hazard sign (which I know you're at, but just for the sake of others who need help) all you have to do is hold down the power button and WHILE it's held, press the volume up or down button and move to "Factory Reset". When you hold down the power button and press the volume rocker, a little menu will appear. It should only take a few minutes then.
Hope this helps. Apparently this is a WiFi issue. I'll definitely be keeping backups as of now..
I left it off, plugged it back in for a couple of hours and it booted right up. Strange.
I'm wondering if it had anything to do with juice defender and its settings that take effect at a lower battery level? Its the only thing I can come up with. Never had a stock phone's ui force quit and not reboot. The battery was definitely up to 25% given the time it was initially charging, but maybe it was still interfering.
Well, now that she's running, time to get root, recovery, rom and rejoice.
Thanks for the replies, very much appreciated.

I had the exact same problem happen last night with UI crashing and then the getting stuck at the boot animation. I was desperately searching online, looking to find a solution that didn't involve rebooting to factory setting and came across this post and did exactly what you did and it WORKED, very strange, I really wanna know what caused that!!!!
I've had the same problem with my Galaxy Nexus. I received it on December 21st, with stock 4.0.1 build. No root or unlock attempt at any time. On January 2nd I experienced this problems (UI process crash, screen not responding, reboot and stuck in boot animation).
The only solution was to do a factory reset and start over.
On January 10th same problem, same solution. Second factory reset.
I got the 4.0.2 OTA just two days after that. I thought that would resolve the problem. The phone seemed more stable, with less FC's and no trace of the UI crash. Indeed it lasted long...
Exactly until January 24th when I picked up the phone and seemed in the sleep of dead. Removed the battery, restarted the phone... and stuck in the boot animation.
Do you have any advice? Should I return the phone? Aside from those specific problems I am quite happy with the SGN and Android 4 in general. And I use it quite a lot (I have a very long train commute) without other problems.
Again...
It happened again!!
I don't know what to do anymore, this is not a usable phone when I have to reinstall and reconfigure every 3 weeks.
I may have found the problem
Well, not me exactly, but this bug report seems to fit the problem and the charging workaround. Seems to be a problem the file used to store the battery stats and draw the charge graph.
It also fits my usage (I try not to charge it up until 100%).
I can't post links to the forum, the issue is id number 24518 which you can find in code.google.com/p/android/
My Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (unlocked, OS is gingerbread 2.3.6, cant upgrade to ICS as I dont have unlock code) was working absolutely fine till early evening when I switched it off and put in on charging (battery remaining was less than 10%). After about 45 mins of charging, I removed the charger and switched the phone on. However, since then, the phone screen blinks white and then the phone is reset after about 10-15 secs max.
I had tried no OS upgradations at all, and the only non-market apps installed were the ones which are quite big in size (in Google Play). I did have quite a few games installed, but I never got any memory low messages or anything. My last installation was the game Jetpack Joyride roughly 5 days ago. The only thing out of the ordinary is that the app ADM (Advanced Download Manager) had been updated 3-4 times in the past fortnight, but I didnt download the latest update for it.
Also I deleted ADM and Battery Widget in the short time that I got between resets, as I thought both of them were installed in phone memory. But there was absolutely no improvement after doing that.
I did save data thru Kies, but even after connecting to the computer, the phone continues to reset, and so it is impossible to restore anything, at the moment.
So, is there any way to get the phone back to a working state?? Would really appreaciate any and all suggestions!!
If I boot into android recovery (power + volume down) there is an option to "wipe data/factory reset". Will my phone get locked again if I choose to do that??
The phone at the moment is bad as bricked at the moment, and I am starting to contemplate the pros and cons of doing a factory reset, or an upgrade to ICS. So my next question is whether I can flash the stock ICS from Samfirmwire thru ODIN or recovery mode (since the phone is completely stable in those modes?? And how??
Hi everyone, a couple days ago I flashed from stock (smp600) to cm 12 unofficial. I also installed xposed and a few modules. The last module, which I have a hunch is what caused the problem, was xhalofloatingwindows. Last night it was fine when I powered down, but this morning I got a boot loop when I turned it on. So, I booted to recovery, flashed the uninstall xposed and rebooted. It optimized my apps and then shut down automatically after it finished. Same thing when I turned it back on again. So I did a full wipe and reinstalled the cm 12 and xposed, then rebooted system and walked away. When I came back it was hard bricked. Power button doesn't work, no recovery, no download mode, no charging symbol when plugged in. Any ideas? Any way to get into download mode without a removable battery? Thanks in advance for any help!
hi there,
well, first of all, you could try the usb jig to force it into download mode ( Read this: http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_download_mode_usb_jig ). You can make one on your own if you have the connector and soldering iron (and buy the needed resistor), or you can buy one ready to use (search ebay). Another option is to let it charge for few hours, amazingly this can help. I didn´t get what you said about 'removable battery', do you mean removing battery?
If not succeeded, would take a little more effort, and a multimeter. Disassemble device, and measure battery with the multimeter. If it has less than 3.3v, it won´t show charging till gets at least 3.5v. If it shows 0v, your battery could be drained so much that tablet cannot charge without a little help from a regulated power suply. If bat is above 3.65v, and still nothing, you may have to take it to Samsung Service Center or some repair shop that have jtag tools (it can rewrite boot sector and make download mode alive again). Hope you get it fixed.
I'll start from the beginining.. Okay so since i bought my tab (3 months ago) i had a battery problem, but it wasnt a bad battery problem. Once it got to 95% battery it stopped charging. Anyway, about a week after that i was unhappy with the performace of touchwiz on my tab so i decided to root it and install the cyanogenmod 12 nightlies. I was happy with cm for a while but eventually i got bored of all the bugs and instabilities so i decided to switch to a touchwiz rom.. This touchwiz rom was a vast improvement from the stock touchwiz so i decided to keep it. However i still wanted to improve the performace so i researched online for apk's/zip's that could improve my tabs performace. I came across crossbreeder and people said it was really good so i decided to install crossbreeder through TWRP. Once installed i rebooted my device and i instantly found many more battery problems. For example my battery would go from 50% to 20% in 5 mins/my battery would run out and i would reboot it and it would have had 40% etc. I downloaded some battery calibrating apps and calibrated my tab. After all that, that battery wasnt so bad. It was still dodgy but no where near as bad as it was straight after installing crossbreeder. Anyway, this was about 1 month ago. Since then, no new problems had occured with the battery until last night. Last night, my battery ent don to 1% then turned off like it should. I put my tab on charge and rebooted however when it rebooted nothing would work. My touchscreen didnt work, my home button didnt work, none of the keys next to the home button didnt work. So i thought that this was no problem and i could just boot into TWRP, factory reset and install the backup that i made. When i tried this, i booted into TWRP successfully however i couldnt press any of the TWRP buttons, again, i thought that this could be solved by flashing the stock firmware through odin. I put my tab into download mode and connected it to my pc, then flashed the stock rom. Once finished it showed a 'pass' and i thought everything was sorted.. When my tab booted up, it again, didnt let me press anything and none of the buttons would work. This is when i panicked. I then went into the stock recovery to factory reset my tab to see if that would work however, when i went into stock recovery, i couldnt go up or down using the volume keys.. So my volume keys didnt work either. I next put my tab in download mode and connected it to my pc. I opened odin and checked the 'Nand erase all' box thinking this would fully reset my whole tab. I then researched the 'nand erase all' function to find that everyone said that it breakes your device and puts it in bootloop etc. After reading this i instantly disconnected the usb from my computer to my tab. I tried rebooting my tab to see if it still booted and it didnt.. (i waited 20 mins). I then ran odin with 'clear efs' box ticked on. Again it didnt boot. I went into stock recovery again to see if the volume keys would work.. they didnt.. Infact when i opened stock recovery it had 3 errors showing (which it didnt last time i opened stock recovery). They all started with 'failed to mount /data'. Now i am here.. Sorry it was such a long read, i thought it would be better if i explained in detail. Thanks to anyone that replies/helps me.
NAND Erase All shouldn't destroy your device. What you need to do is boot into recovery, and choose the Factory Reset/Wipe Data option. From there, reboot and you should be good! Otherwise if it doesn't boot, just flash in Odin again, reboot to recovery, and then Factory Reset/Wipe Data again. We'll get you back up and running in no time
The reason why you are getting those errors is because your data partition is NOT formatted (because NAND Erase All wipes out your partition details, so it looks unformatted), so the recovery and your kernel are not finding your data partition. Your device will be unable to boot without. Factory Reset will reformat your data partition and get everything into place. Let me know how it goes!
