hey nomadrider123,
i tried that still got the same green battery icon, no yellow download occur.
: ((
please see youtube video
thanks
I have heard that sometimes pulling your battery for 10 min or so has helped.
Or maybe rebooting your pc or a different usb port
Hm....have you tried only pressing the Vol. DOWN buttom? Try this:
1. Take out battery of phone
2. Press Vol. DOWN only
3. Insert the battery back to the phone. (Keep pressing VOL. DOWN)
4. Press POWER (Keep pressing VOL. DOWN)
5. Then, when you see the "Download Mode" icon, plug the USB (Note, you need to have the USB unplugged during the whole process for this to work, and only plug it in when you see the Download Mode icon. Also, when you plug it in, you need to have Odin opened ALREADY, and the drivers installed. Remember you don't only need the Samsung's Drivers, you also need the Nexus S drivers)
This seems the only way i can go into download mode. I made a thread a couple of days back, it have lots of info and suggestions on how to go into download mode, here it is:

Make sure your battery is not in your phone when you plug in the cable. If your getting the charging icon, I think your battery is in

My friend brought by his Galaxy Tab 10.1 over for me to fix and another of his friends had loaded a custom ROM on it and it was stuck in an endless boot cycle. I got into the CWM recover menu to factory reset and wipe all cache folders used ADB to push Android Open Kang Project - p4wifi (build 21) followed instructions to a T... Rebooted and started the first time setup of ICS and it froze and rebooted just like the other ROM before. I re-flashed the ROM with out Gapps and factory reset. Rebooted and it got to the home screen and froze again after about 30 seconds. I turned it off (by holding the power button down). Now when I try to turn it on it does nothing. Hold power and vol - it does nothing. Plugged it into the wall to charge it does nothing. Power and vol + does nothing a well. Plugged it to my PC the drivers are no longer found... Tried everything the only signs of life are the fact that when its plugged to the PC the drivers don't install (listed as APX under other devices) and power + vol + makes a 3 beep tone on my windows idk what that means...
I need help please!
I tried to downgrade my phone from using this guide:
thespicygadgematics.com/2012/06/downgrade-and-install-gingerbread-and.html
with the gb rom from here:
thespicygadgematics.com/2012/07/root-xperia-s-lt26i-without-unlock.html
I was on this part:
Enable fastboot mode by press and hold the volume down button and same time connect the phone to the PC via USB cable (differ from device to device)
I did it and it started flashing but suddenly it disconnected the phone and now it always displays the logo, goes back dark and so on!
What do I do now?? Please help me
First do the forced shutdown by holding power button + vol down. Then try to charge battery again, just plug it in, and try to flash again. If you can't get it to charge battery try flashing again hoping it will last long enough to finish the process.
Thanks for the reply! I did the voldown+power, then plug it into the computer and did a software reset with seus. Now everything is working again
Just bricked my Tf201 - I cannot get it past the splash screen. I have tried the method of Holding down power and volume down but it does not get me into the recovery menu.
The device is rooted and the last action I did was in goomanager rebooting into recovery mode so I could install TWRP
I have my laptop hooked up to the tablet.
1: When I power button down for 3 seconds nothing happens
2: power down + volume up the tablet vibrates - usb disconnect then usb reconnect sound plays on my laptop. I cannot see the device on my laptop and my ADB devices command returns a blank
3: power button for 10 seconds - USB disconnect sound plays, tablet goes to splash screen and hangs there
4: power button + volume down for 5 seconds the splash screen reappears - no USB sound
5: power button & volume up - same result
6: After a couple cycles of this I notice that the laptop does detect that there is a device attached to the laptop but it cannot install the drivers.
Hello XDA Community,
Sorry I didn't know where to post this...
Two weeks ago I purchased a Lenovo S8-50LC Tablet. It was working fine until last night, I was watching movies on Youtube and chatting with some friends. Then I went to bed and there was still around 50% charge in the battery.
When I woke up, I tired to wake up the device but it didn't respond. I thought it was stuck or something, so I tired to hold the power button for 20 seconds to do a hard reset but still didn't work. After that I plugged it in to a power source with the compatible charger that came with it and the screen light up with no data on it. I tried to power it on then and it showed the Lenovo logo and in a very tiny font underneath the logo it said "Boot Fail, Efi hard drive".
Then it would take me to a screen which says:
"EFI Shell version 2.31 [1.0]
Current running mode 1.1.2
map: Cannot find required map name.
Press ESC in 5 seconds to skip startup.nsh, any other key to continue.
Shell>_"
http://imageshack.com/a/img907/6979/reZJPf.jpg
and that's it!
I don't understand why this screen appears. I mean the tablet was working properly over the night and it had no issues whatsoever, but now it doesn't boot!
Then I tried to power it off and press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it showed a black screen with only one line: "FastBoot Starting...Can't get eMMC Info, revert to default value!"
http://imageshack.com/a/img661/1158/bRg9jj.jpg
That's all what I got...
PS:
1- The tablet does all that only when it's plugged to a power source, but when it's not plugged, it doesn't show anything.
2- When I plug it into the pc via USB, the pc doesn't recognize it.
3- I tried to boot into fastboot mode or recovery mode but it doesn't work either.
Please help me fix my tablet and I hope it's going to be soon. Thank you all in advance!
UPDATE:
1- I left it on the charger for maybe 2 hours and now it's turning on without being plugged in to a power source.
2- When I press Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power Button, it shows the previous mentioned phrase, but now when I connect it to the pc via USB, windows recognizes it as Lenovo Composite ADB Interface under Android Phone

3- Tried to perform some fastboot commands like flash, format and erase, it always fails with the error:
Failed (remote: unknown command)
UPDATE2:
1- When executing ADB commands like adb devices it says "no devices found"
anyone?
Hello. A friend of mine has the same problem. He dropped the device and the screen cracked. After a reboot the tablet is on the same situation. I plugged a keyboard via otg , it stops the countdown in the EFI SHELL, but i can not type anything. I think is an eMMC related problem.
I guess the eMMC is totally fried or something. But, I mean, I didn't leave it on the charger all night or anything, why would it do such a thing!
any solutions or suggestions??

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't work .. as I mentioned earlier I don't have a "download mode" because any key combination I try to use just sends me to the shell window .. anymore suggestions would be appreciated!
-unplug usb cable
-turn off
-hold (volum+) and (volume -) towice
-press power button
It should go to fastboot quickly (a black screen with a little text)
