would it be pssile to have an APX mode for the sgp 5.0? because if we had apx mode and then use nvflash we could possible unbrick a hard brick, because i think my device is hard-bricked but i am still able to charge it because it gets warm with the charger plugged in and that means it is still functional so i could get it into APx mode if there is one, ideas?

Nope with samsung we have the download mode which is bassically is the same as APX mode But because you can't access it normally you need to buy a USB jig and then reflash a rom. I recommend buying a jig from here.
Link: usbjig.com
EDIT: isn't nvflash is for devices with nvidia tegra? I have a transformer and I would like to know how it works.
yeah i have an iconia tab that uses for unbricking but i have never bricked my tablet(kind of hard actually) and i have used it to flash the unlcoked bootloader but i really dont know how it works
and about the jig, have you tried that one for the Player 5.0? because it said it worked for the 4.0 because it has a removeable battery

If you manage to totally turn off your device, it should work.

Used NVflash last night to install CM. Almost immediately there were problems. I was able to boot in CM recovery only once. After that, I could only get to apx mode. Tried to flash again this morning using NVflash and now my tablet won't connect to the PC at all even in apx. Can anyone help? I can't even get the PC to read the tablet at all so I can't transfer files or anything.
EDIT: Finally got into CM Recovery. Did a factory wipe and still can't connect to my PC. Please help!!!
Some severe APX loop problems can look like a completely dead tablet. The screen might not light up at all but you might still be in APX mode. Check to see if your charge light comes on when it's plugged in. If that works then hook it up to your computer and check to see if it's in APX. If it's not press the power key for 2-3 seconds and check it again. You might find that it's just being stubborn.
I'm pretty sure i have attempted every solution on here (XDA) and elsewhere to troubleshoot my problem. I am hoping it is obvious, but i've put hours into this and i could really use some help!
My tablet is (or was) a Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy 10.1
I had successfully rooted it when i first got it using Odin...i flashed a ROM...can;t remember which one (obviously a wrong one) and ever since it has been rather temperamental.
Over the course of the past week i have been to APX and back... Heimdall (which i am pretty sure i am not doing correctly) to attempting to flash firmware..stock roms etc...
I don;t know whether it is a driver issue, or if i need a stock rom or to flash firmware....but here is where i am at now.
If i try to power up normally...the Samsung galaxy tab logo bootlader flashes for a sec or two...the screen then either goes black...and repeats a few times...or sometimes it flashes the logo and the backlight stays on until i turn it off.
(Seems to be a fairly common problem)
If i hold the volume up and power together...i can get to the Odin download screen with the flashing droid and the midget droid that appears to be walking away from a trash can.
HOWEVER, when i plug the tab into my laptop (windows 7 x64) (i also have access to a (windows 7 x86) and my girlfriends xp machine. I've tried on all mostly on my x64 machine.
Heres the thing.
When i power down...sometimes just pressing the power button once or twice...sometimes, while off i hold the volume down button for a few sec..and all of a sudden the comp reads the device and i can get open ODIN...get the yellow COM thing...but never seem i always get the same error message...can not open/find com/port...
so i can get into odin on my comp with a black screen on my device...or i can get to download mode on my device and my machine wont recognize it.
I seem to have inherited a little bit of everyones problems on here...
Please tell me that there is hope for my tablet...please help? I'm sure you can imagine my frustration. TY.

Thanks for the quick reply. I think i did try this at one point...the problem still stands...when i am in odin dl mode on my tab...the com tab wont turn yellow and comp wont read my device.
If i do it the other way....with a black screen...it wont be able to communicate or find the port. ...but ill try again right now.
Nope....epic fail. There has to be a solution, right?
As long as you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it. Most likely the issue is not your tab but the drivers on your computer.
I spent the better part of a day frustrated trying to go from the leaked 3.2 to official 3.2 having issues similar to you with Odin. Funny thing is for me the PC somehow ended up not recognizing the tab on the USB port I used to flash on but would on others so I simply swapped Ports and continued. Little did I realize that although things seemed okay that issue was a symptom and Odin was now flashing corrupted info onto the tablet.
A simple reboot of the PC fixed things for me. That you have tried other machines though is worrisome. Still there's a chance it still is a driver issue so I would check drivers on the PC and perhaps install kies if you don't have it to see if the drivers with kies help.
Since you're on the Verizon tab flash back to stock 3.1 and flash stock recovery. Then let all the OTA updates run. After that all you need to do is flash cwm and Pershoots kernel along with superuser to be rooted. There is no better ROM for our Verizon tab than this and all wifi ROMs are incompatible with it.
Still, no luck. When i am in download mode on my tab....my computer doesn't recognize it. When I just power up and and plus it in, the screen goes black but the computer sees the device as well as ODIN. However sometimes it is recognized as APX and sometimes it is recognized as a Samsung android device... usually with one or two driver errors.
So, it seems obvious that it would be a driver issue... i've tries kies, and as many variations of drivers i can find.,.. when in APX mode i try to flash using the nvflash method in cmd or heimdall, otherwise i try ODIN and it seems to be successful until the "setup connection" point.
Is there a way (if it is even something i should do ) to get drivers on my device in its current state?
Im at a loss...i know this thing can be resurrected...everything just seems so backwards. Any thoughts?
I know that this is a very basic question, but do you have USB Debugging enabled?
George
No way to check now, as he says the tablet doesn't boot any more.
It sounds like a driver issue for sure, and to be clear here the ONLY requirement that I know of when flashing with odin on the TABLET end is for it to be in download mode waiting for usb BEFORE being plugged in. So when I say driver issue Im talking about on the PC side here. Have kies installed just to get the drivers, fire up odin and get the tab into download mode while unplugged. Plug it in and watch odin to see if the com port status lights up. If not swap usb port and repeat. Do not use a hub and ypu may want to remove unnecessary usb devices too just to see.
Hello!
I just had the LG Optimus 2X. The phone is close to unbrickable because of NVFlash. Now i have the Galaxy S3.
Is ODIN roughly the same as NVFlash? Making our S3 unbrickable? I miss the flashing roms etc. like i did with the O2X. But i want to be absolutely sure.
Yeah if you get a brick just go into download mode by holding volume down, home and power together and flash what you want with Odin.
If your phone has a corrupt bootloader you can use a jig (usb-plug) to revive and put it into download mode, so yea it's pretty safe.
Of course if you wanted you might be able to hardbrick it anyway, someone might come up with a hardware-based solution such as S2's unbrickable mod.
So even a hardbrick is possible to unbrick. USB Jig from ebay and im all set to go? Sounds good! Thanks guys!

No, no no
Don't get terminology confused.
A hard brick is unrecoverable by the user!
Only a Jtag service or Samsung service centre can revive the device. Normally the NAND r/w function is corrupted and the phone cannot power on, into download mode or recovery.
A soft brick is where the device is stuck in kernel panic mode, boot loop, or boot screen etc. This is recoverable by the user by entering download mode or recovery to flash firmware.
The USB jig (may) force the device onto download mode where other methods fail.

Currently bought a sch-i905 4g lte verizon galaxy tablet.
Boots normally, and functions.
Last night i was writing a bootloader through odin, and accidently had auto reboot checked. I was unable to write the modem/kernel that goes with it and now have a galaxy tablet that boots into the OS just fine.
The problem now is though that i can not get my tablet/computer to communicate in download mode it says "waiting for cable"
as well as my recovery is a black screen of doom.
Through rom manager when boot the tablet up i can see that clock work is installed just not boot properly..
I need some help here guys since this is outside my knowledge of fixing.
i can boot into the android OS, but when i charge it while its on it wont actually charge, the X is over the battery, but if i leave it off i can charge it just fine.

unfortunately when i use download mode, it only shows "waiting for cable" no matter what pc, what driver, and what cable i use.
If i boot into normal android, the drivers load fine, i can transfer files etc . just cant recognize it in download mode.
so without recognition from download mode,
a blanked/blacked out recovery mode
im not sure how to fix it.

I was originally rooted, but no longer am as i made the errors in the process of returning to stock.
I have super user, but the binary isnt there so i know im not rooted anymore.
that was another option i tried as well.
exactly what are you are trying to do where it says "waiting for cable"????
and you may also got to ty hard reset for your device!!!

its under my impression that hard reset will not fix download mode or recovery mode.
well, i did a factory reset, and now my tablet just goes to the samsung tablet 10.1 and still boots up with an ALL BLACK screen.
once its completely turned on, I can hit the power button to dim it, then i hit the power button and all is well im back to android os.
now you've fixed my battery charging issue while my tablet is on, so i am forever grateful.
Next 2 things to fix:
Download Mode & Recovery

Hi there,
A few day ago, i installed "TWRP Recovery" to my Samsung Galaxy S3 GI9300 via "TWRP Manager".
Then I reboot but after reboot, I can't see anything on my phone. There is only a black screen. I tried to boot to Download Mode but I can't seem to enter Download Mode. When I connect my phone to computer, i only see "HQSUSB_DLOAD" . Anyone can tell me how to fix this.
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.
Are your sure that you flashed the correct version of TWRP? Sometimes there is more then one version of a phone (I know that there were 2 versions of the Galaxy S2. If you flashes a wrong recovery it bricked ) You can try to use a usb jig. This is a little micor usb stick with an 330Ohm resistor in it. Samsung Galaxy phones boot into the download mode if you plug it in. If this does not work your phone is probably bricked (whick means that you need special hardware to flash a working bootloader again)
