Hi,
Noob here, just bought a galaxy tab off of a co-worker.
I wanted to upgrade filmware to gingerbread, when using odin the update failed and the tab has went black.
Tried the power up, Power down, and also power + Hold Screen+ up. Need help! And help would be great.
Have you tried this???
Look Here
---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------
Hey swalks.
For us to be able to help you we need more info.
What rom did you try to flash?
Where did it fail?? (What did it say in Odin?)
Does anything happene when you connect it to a charger?
Ive tried all of the options.
*Odin
*Power button+Vol. up
*Power button+Vol. down
*Hold power button more than 10 sec
*Charge it up.
Nothing works, just because of the new firmware to GT-P1010 2.3.6
what can I do?
Oki. I c.
But here are some more questions to see if we can fix this.
When u connect the charger do u see anything on the screen?
Does it look like the backlight comes on?
When u connect it to a pc, does the pc see anything? Does it register anything?
It more appropriate for you to ask in your device thread as this the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P75xx series), information might not be the same between the two.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752 is your device section.

When I connect the charger-nothing-Connect to computer nothing either, I
Tried to flash filmware: p1000xwjq8_p1000o2uj3_p1000xxjpz_home.tar.md5
But a few seconds in it just stopped & said fail.
Does not sound good.
I do know that someone has left there tab for some days to completely dischard and then conect it to a charger and it did "wake up" enough to get into download mode, but it is a looooooooooooooong shot.
But it sounds like you have bricked it, and if that is the case the only way to "fix" it is to have someone do a JTAG "recovery".
Search the P1000 forum for (link provided by nakedninja42) "JTAG and you will find alot of info.
Hope it helps.
when im holding the power button it shows bit of light from the sides of the screen.
the touch buttons are not turning on in any way.
I can do JTAG recovery by myself?
IF you had done as i told U, you would have got the answer!
but NO YOU CAN NOT jtag yourself!!!
Here is some info about someone that can, and they after what i know have a good reputation here at XDA!

Now go off and help yourself and good luck bringing your tab back to life.

I was flashing my Vibrant back to the stock ROM using ODIN, and I had the re-partition checked off... and I think this is what killed my vibrant. If I click the power button it doesn't do anything. It has a full battery and even with it on the charger... still nothing. I can't see anything on the screen. What are my options to fix my Vibrant?

not a single button is working, either JIG i have it, what can i do?
Sorry to disappoint you; it seems that you are out of luck. I was flashing my Vibrant in the similar situation like yours and my phone has never turned on again since then (6 weeks). I live in Thailand and have been searching both English and Thai version for a solution. None comes up so far. The only way the USB jig will help is your phone can be powered up. I have tried that myself. You can look for the confirmation elsewhere in this forum. Any way if you can find a diy solution, please let me know and I will post it here if I can find one myself. Thanks!

they bro, i appreciate that your trying to help the guy but read.
the title states its a "HARD BRICK" meaning it will not turn on. If the OP has enough sense to name the thread its a HARD brick, then i'm sure he knows what a hard brick is. All solutions your leading to cannot be done AT ALL. The phone is a paperweight, you cant do anything but 2 things:
@OP
Do one of these 2 things:
1) build a JIG costs around 10$ a bit more or a bit less. but no over than 15$
(search JIG for vibrant on youtube by mobiletechvideos)
2) Send it to tmobile.
I hard bricked my phone 4 days ago.
I called them, and their sending in a replacement, and i send them mine and im done.

Your first option is out because I have tried that. The only option left is the second one. since I live in Thailand, I have to ship the phone to my friend in Los Angeles to have him replace it for me. It is costly, but at least I will get a phone to work.
It seems to me that this issue is a special case that doesn't happen very often. Only the chosen ones will get into trouble like this when making an error here and there while flashing rom.
I had an IPhone 3G before and, of course, I made mistakes while updating it with all kinds of firmware, but the hardware never fails on me no matter what I did.
Thanks all who try to help.

Just because he put hard bricked in the title means little. It was his first post. He very well could be a aviid user. All I could go by is he said he hit power and nothing happend thats about all he said over and over. No battery pull 3 button try. So what I did was try to help thats it. I did not suggest anything to make matters worse. A lot of ppl thought their phones were "hard bricked" but they got it to come out of it. Just because your more of a wiz then most ppl here. I would appreciate if you would get off my back a bit for I was just trying to help.

I'm not getting on your back, why is it you think so?
Most of the users as i've encountered don't have the sense to name their threads appropriately, the OP on this one specifically named it HARD BRICKED, so instead of telling him to do all these instructions, you could've asked 1 thing "when you plug your usb, or wall charger, does it show any lights? or Are there any symbols on the screen? any lights glowing?"
Those 2 questions could've saved him, and you time.
Trust me i'm a beginner as well, i just know how to get out of these because i've been with this problem a few times. Alot of people here know more than me, specifically s15.. idk his full name.
i flashed stock froyo and my phone will not turn on.
already tried the battery pull,combo buttons (download and recovery)
what happened: i flashed back to stock froyo and all loaded successfully with odin.
as it started to reboot the screen went blank.
any ideas?

Try flashing stock eclair 2.1. And then upgrade your rom from there.

THANKS for all of your suggestion. i tried all of the above an no luck.
So you've already tried the USB jig to access DL mode like @movieaddict suggested and still can't? Thats odd..... What kinda life are you getting out of the phone? Does it turn on at all? How about plugging the USB into the PC or a charger.... anything? spindles or the battery charging icon?
- If the phone is completely dead as in your getting NO life at all then it is in fact HARD BRICKED. I have heard about a JTAG fix for HARD BRICKED Vibrants and I assume its similar to the XBOX360 deal that most of us have probably done in the past, but I have not personally on the Vibrant. I know there is a youtube video/tutorial. Unfortunately thats pretty much all I know about that. I would suggest a google search or search the Q&A threads here for something like:
"Samsung, Vibrant, hard, bricked, jtag"
Good luck!
I would not recommend trying jtag yourself, as you have to rub away a section of the motherboard to access certain solder points and it requires a very expensive jtagging device. If it is truly bricked you can send it to these guys and they will jtag it and bring it back to life for you.
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=778
Already have you on the right page there. It's the second one on that list.
I agree with the above post. Its probably not something everyone should attempt. Although I think most will realize that when you see all that is involved. Here is the thread that I first heard about it:

So your phone isn't responding at all? Try holding power and volume +. You might get a screen with orange text on it. This worked for me.
From there you can get to download mode by plugging the phone in and using the three finger method.

may i ask what did you flash and what rom was on your phone before. Knowing what was flashed and where you were coming from may probably help us better to understand what is happening.
try press volume down and up button hold it and plug data cable connected to ur computer. That will let u boot to download mode. Try and let me kw how it went.
Same thing happened to me, I was able to fix by the following post...
1. Start AIO toolbox
2. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
4. Plug USB cable into Phone.
5. Plug USB cable into PC.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
The idea is to get ODIN to see your phone again.
Think I bricked my phone somehow. To the story, I had phone in download mode to flash the leodroid rom which didn't flash at all, as I waited for 10mins to see if it would flash, but to no avail. Anyway, after that I disconnected the phone from pc, removed the battery, inserted the battery again then BOOM! Nothing, no download mode, no recovery, no boot screen, just a blank screen, a brick.
Dunno, if anyone else has had this problem, but if you managed to somehow get yours working again please tell me! And if you can't, guess I'll have to send it back. Anyone know how to deal with online shops, when returning phones?
Cheers in advance.

I`m assuming you`re unable to use volume down + Home + Power buttons together and keep holding them until a menu appears on the screen?

I'm no expert when it comes to things like this
but if you can't access download mode via the button combos
have you tried using one of these 'usb jigs'?

it should force your phone into download mode
i think you can either purchase them from a member of this site, forgotten his name :\, or there are plenty of options on ebay

Leodroid, I am guessing this is not a SGS2 rom ?
Well hopefully a JIG works, I have ordered one from ebay earlier this week, hope it comes soon. And yeh the 3 button combos doesn't work. Although I thought the jig won't work if you're unable to power on your phone. Guess I'll give it a go regardless. It wouldn't hurt to try.

it is, although its under investigation right now.
i had this issue but i was able to go back using 3 button procedure.
i would suggest you take battery out and pop it in and immediately hold the 3 buttons and don't let go until you see something on the screen.
Also, i made my usb jig the other day .. it literally took 10 minutes cutting thru the usb. Just go to any electronics shop and get 300K ohms transistor. put the usb you made in your phone and connect the transistor with your hand on the correct pins .. no need to even solder anything .. just make them touch for few seconds.
My brother held the phone and i held the transistor ... poped the battery in and i was at download mode.
best of luck.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem here with my phone, a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II.
After trying to flash a new firmware I rebooted my phone into "Downloading mode" and starting (i think) a veery earli version of Odin3 software. But when I didnt know what to do I just shut down my phone and closed the applikation.
And then: Totally stone dead, as a brick. I have ordered a USB-thing from ebay, but I'm pretty sure it aint going to work. No response on either powerbuttons, combos or anything else. Just a black screen. Is the only solution to send it in to Samsung service center or is it any else more possibilty? (Excuse me for bad grammar.)

Why would he need to do that? He can't even see the Download mode screen. How is anyone at Samsung Service center going to see a counter that won't even come on.
Samsung Service Center is going to just jtag flash it, then send it back. Which also wipes the counter, and even if there is a hidden counter, it's erases that as well.
Anyways, I don't think the USB Jig would work. USB Jig will only work if the bootloader is still intact. The USB JIG uses a 300k or 301k resistor, not transistor.
The reason the thread is closed is because it was based off someone else's work, and not giving any credit.
SO I haven't seen a direct answer to my question....
I did a software update on my Galaxy S2 and it downloaded fine. After the download it froze on the "software update" screen. It's a white screen with software up date above a progress box, but there's no progression showing. It just says "loading...."
How do I fix this? I've seen a few post with people having the same problem, but no answers!! It's been like this all day.
I have tried turn off and on with power button, as well as attempting a hard restart, but nothing works. The white screen pops up despite any attempt. Ohhh and I also already tried removing the battery.
Any help is greatly appreciated......I am a big noob when it comes to this technology, so PLEASE bare with me.
Still loking for help!! Any one!?

ATT, SGH-I777. I've tried to do the 3 button reset, but nothing is working. No matter what it loads to the white loading screen. I'm getting really frustrated I touch the thing. It's taking all my might not to just thrash it.....it must be due to my lack of tech smarts.

Try this:
- Power the phone off.
- Plug the usb cable into the computer (not the phone)
- Hold both sides of the volume rocker down (vol up + vol down)
- While holding those buttons down, insert the usb cable.
Then flash the stock rom.
Gave me Odin mode. Any tips on what to do, or do I just follow the instructions? THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Awaiting the next step since I have no clue where to get file or how to set it up. Do I use Odin 3185? Or something else? Any links will help. This is a US phone if it matters.
I'd like to get it done today if possible!!!

I've searched and searched, but I've been unable to find a solution to, or even any examples of, my particular problem. I was wiping and formatting everything before I flashing a ROM as I've done countless times before, but this time I decided to format the boot partition, which I can't remember ever doing before, and I think I then pulled the battery before flashing anything.
Now when I put the battery back in or plug in the USB cable (without pressing any buttons at all) the phone immediately shows the Vibrant/Samsung screen and nothing else happens. Holding the power button (or power + vol up, or power + vol down, or power + vol up and down) makes the screen flash off momentarily and then come back on again, but that's it. I can't get into recovery mode, and I couldn't get into download mode either, as the phone won't stay off when I put the battery in.
So, I bought a USB jig and to my relief it enabled the phone to get into download mode. I put the jig in the USB port and insert the battery, and download mode immediately comes up. Then I remove the jig and either connect the USB cable and then start Odin, or start Odin and then connect the USB cable. Either way, Odin doesn't recognize the phone. Windows gives me some sort of error about a malfunctioning USB device.
I know the problem is the phone, and not my cable or computer, because I can Odin to my wife's Vibrant no problem. Any ideas?

Read it over, test it out and if it doesn't work head back here and let us know and we can figure something out...and who knows, maybe by then someone with far more knowledge of this particular problem will pass on through and shed some light on the situation.
But for now, concentrate on staying calm and we'll work through it.
Sounds like you deleted the boot loaders. Make sure you have correct drivers installed, windows isn't auto detecting. Try to get Odin to recognize again, try all USB ports. If you get it recognized make sure to √ re-partition.
BTW Xeno, you made me bust out laughing!

All in a days work! Aha!
Also, not to go against your advice, because I think its awesome that you responded and are searching for a "cure" but OP do not, I repeat, do NOT touch kies. I'm sure you've heard about the Holocaust in your history classes at some point, yes? Well that was microscopic compared to the disasters that will befall your vibrant if you bring it anywhere near the kies software. Do NOT do it. Think of the kids for God's sake. That is all.

Alrighty, well...I actually remember a thread like this coming up awhile back and having no freakin' clue personally...however it lead me to think that you ought to have done a search of the forums before posting this. I was however wrong. I've spent about the last 45 minutes reading thread upon thread upon thread dealing with this issue without any of them offering a solution. Most were simply saying things like:
or
or even
Okay...I made that up. Our community isn't so mean lol However, those were pretty much the only solutions I came across, and sadly they did not work.
So....I'm going to take a shot in the dark and suggest you head on over to this thread and give it a whirl:

"Failed. Unspecified Error." Thanks for the suggestion, though, Xenoism. I knew that no matter how diligent my search of the forums, somebody would toss out a link to a post I missed.
@xeno, your killing me hahaha! I have heard about bad experiences with kies. I have used it a few times without issue, this was my Pre xda days. I figured this guy didn't have much to lose and if kies hard bricked it, he'd have a better shot of Sammy or tmo hooking him up with a fix. I guess for $40 he could get a JTAG repair.

I was afraid that might not help you. I spent another hour or so this morning looking throughout the web for potential solutions...nothing just yet :/
I'll keep searching though, if you do the same man ^^
