Hey guys i got a galaxy tab, i was trying to root it and do a custom rom on it.
I put all the files necessary into the SD card and turn off the tab
then i went to hit vol down (button farthest away from the power) + power
Now all it is a black screen, i cant do anything, cant turn on or off. I plugged it into the computer and it installed some Nvidia drivers.
can anyone please helpe?
thanks
Sounds like the Sleep Of Death this and other Tegra 2 devices suffer from. Try holding the power button for 30 sec.
ok, so i tired to hold the power button for 30 seconds, nothing happens. I tried to do it with it plugged in and no plugged in. Any other suggestions?
i also have no idea if the tablet is on or off because nothing happens now when i plug it into the computer or press the power button. makes no sound. nada
no 1 else has any ideas?

Try again holding vol down (that's the button CLOSEST to the power) and power. If you can get to download mode your good.

I have a TAB 10.1, that WONT turn on, and WONT charge, I don't have the receipt as I have received it as a gift, however Samsung took it for repair AND DID NOT REPAIR IT ! Very disappointing!
Is there any other solution to fix it, when I plug it into the computer still nothing...
Please get back to me guys, need your help, thanks
did you tried holding the power button a little bit longer?
It happens from time to time. Just keep it charged and try to turn on from time to time (sometimes holding the button for multiple seconds). Eventually it will turn on. It's the standby of death problem.

yes, I tried everything, holding power down for up to a minute, holding power and volume up and down, also holding the power button while touching the screen, still nothing...
Try connecting to computer.
Or maybe its Sleep of Death issue. Search for it. you will get solutions like draining your battery completely.

Did you try Power button, then volume down button (only, don't touch the power up) for 8-10 seconds while still holding the power button, then letting off the volume down button? It always works for me.

yes I have tried that, nothing happanes, also nothing happens when I connect it with the computer as well (not even apx mode)...
I got an Atrix from a friend who was having problems with it.
I tried turning it on and it stays tuck in a boot loop with the "Dual Core Technology" screen.
I tried a couple of key combinations to see if I could get to fastboot but nothing works. So far I've tried the following combinations:
1. holding the volume up button while powering on
2. holding the volume down button while powering on
3. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then pressing the power button
4. holding volume up + volume down while putting the battery in and then letting go of volume down and pressing the power button
5. holding power and volume up button while putting the battery in
I also tried this. After holding down the volume up button and pressing the power button, i tried hitting the volume down button once and then hitting volume up, hitting it twice and then volume up, 3 times and volume up, etc. etc. and then plugging in the phone to the computer, just in case the fastboot menu was there but I couldn't see it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
As it stands right now, all I'm getting is the boot loop. The phone had been sitting around for a while so I'm not really sure what the history is so all I have to go off of is what I have in front of me.
I'd appreciate any help in the matter.
Can you tell more history of the phone?
Is it rooted?
Is the bootloader unlocked?
Which ROM is it running if it's running one?

I'm pretty sure its not rooted and almost certain its the stock rom but I have no idea about the bootloader. My friend is not very tech-savy so I'm guessing that the bootloader is locked.
I have no way to verify any of this. All I have at this point is the phone that sits looping at the "dual core technology" screen.
If you have any ideas about which way to proceed from here, I'd greatly appreciate it!
What exactly is happening (down to the last detail) when you boot while holding Vol(-)?

When I have the volume down button pressed while booting, the green led stays on for 4-5 seconds, then the phone boots to the dual core screen, it'll stay there for about 5-7 seconds, then go to the M logo with the ripples and then the screen goes black for a second and then it loops back to the dual core screen. Only, this time, there is no delay between the 'dual core technology' screen and the M logo with the ripples.
Try this:
1) Remove battery
2) Replace battery while holding volume down button
3) Navigate to recovery
Should get you out of the loop.

Maybe the easiest way to get make it work again would be to flash the original stock rom with RSDLite.
It's very easy, you just need to connect your phone via fastboot ( when powering on hold vol(-) key until it says fastboot), then press vol(+) and the computer will detect it.
Just remember to flash the correcto sbf for your phone, otherwise you will have another bootloop.

Where do I get the stock rom?
How about you do some searching on your own for a change?
This time search for fruitcakes. That's the stock ROM.

Hello @Vokko,
I put out the battery and waited about 2 days until it was empty but unfortunately it was not successful.
Iam still looking for a solution.
Have you tried holding the volume down button and the power button (keep both pressed, don't let power button go)?

If I connect with PC and hold volume down + power button I see "APX" in other devices.
Sorry, I forgot your model uses volume up + power button to access recovery. Unplug from computer, turn off then hold volume up and power button together (don't just press power briefly but keep it and volume buttons held down) to see if it enters recovery.
i have this tablet which i think is bricked, it wont turn on even if i hold down volume up or down. when I connect it to the pc, after 30/60 seconds the com port appears (screenshot), after 1 second it disappears and continues like this. would anyone know what to do? flash a firmware? in the screenshots there are all the information of the motherboard
similar issues i had with my chinese tablets. The core issue i figured was that they don't hold charge any more and the battery drops like 20-40% with every restart. so the best way to get this up back is to put it on charge for few hours. then hold the vol up + power button, you should see the recovery mode/options page where when you press vol up button you can choose between 3 options of recovery, fastboot, normal. keep presessing vol up and go to normal and then press vol down to reboot into normal mode. if you have a different battery to replace, start there. Good Luck!
