Edit: Fixed the problem. Used OTG cable and flash drive to move the recovery.
Phone was working fine, but suddenly after a reboot it goes past the HTC logo, then remains black. I have a backup on my computer, but can't go into recovery and restore because I get an error when I try to mount. Factory reset doesn't work.

i was streamin a movie with vplayer. i was using the mhl adapter and had it going to my hdmi on tv. it was working and suddenly froze. it was completely unresponsive so i took out the battery. i unplugged all the cables and tried to reboot. it keeps flashing the samsung logo screen over and over. it wont boot up. i went to recovery, rebooted, nothing. stock recovery mode says
cant access /system/csc/ATT/system
i was using the stock android that it came with, i believe 2.3.4
i can enter download mode and recovery mode
i wiped data, nothing
i flashed cwm with odin, (CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OXA_KK5-v5.0-CWM5.zip) wouldnt mount sd. went and choose fix permissions, able to mount sd, reset, nothing
flashed stock, still stuck
flashed bootloader and parafram, now stock recovery wont show up
still can go download mode, still can recover mode when i reflash cwm
any help? can it be fixed?
Download mode is always a good sign. These steps are going to bring you back to the day you bought it:

does this require the usb jig? can it be flashed without it?
and the stock android recovery is not working, it just displays "deleting encryption meta data" then turns off again
No jig needed if you can still enter download mode.
Take the battery out. Put back in, plug USB cable in while holding volume down.
Simple. Can't boot. /system is formatted. If I turn off the device and connect to the charger it freezes before showing the charging animation. Tried to flash and it get stuck on the boot.img, and fails. This isn't mine Tab, I can't stay long time with it, so i'm kinda desperated. The recovery is CWM, I could use USB Mass Storage, but isn't working. Any idea?
Solved. Sorry for the thread, I was really desperated. If it didn't boot, I would have to pay another tablet.
What I did? Flashed another recovery from CM9, entered recovery, wiped data, system, rebooted to download mode and flashed sucessfuly the XWLB1. Hope it can help anyone.
Hey,
SGS II without any reason turned off and didn't want to turn on. I had to remove battery and plug it in again. Then phone booted but only to Samsung Galaxy S II logo.
I reflashed ROM via CWM (is accessible). Cleared dalvik cache and partition cache. Nothing helped.
What more can I do?
I can't reflash phone via Odin because Windows won't detect phone which is in boot logo freeze.
Restore backup or factory reset/wipe ?
During making backup of current ROM I got error that making backup of /data was not possible.
I restored image from older time and it went smoothly. Then suddenly again I got such error after while I plugged cable to USB port.
hope it helps

try a fresh install.. it mean wipe data, cache and system.. download ultimate kernel cleaning.. and flash all new ones at once.. dont reboot if you aren't finished at least flashing ROM and kernel.. (flash modem : optional)
I made restore, didn't plug USB in yet. So far is OK. If not USB, why then restored system would have had failure too?
This could be totally unrelated, but I am just throwing it out.
Everything was working normally, and one day I noticed that USB mass storage was malfunctioning.
When I turn on USB mass storage and connect to PC, it only connect for a minute or so, then internal and external SD get disconnected without any warning.
When this happens, if screen is on I can see the USB droid turn from orange (connected) to green (disconnected),
but the phone completely freezes on that screen unresponsive. If screen is off, it just freezes with a blank screen.
I have to pull the battery to get out.
Factory reset, wiping, restoring to an old nandroid, using different cable, connect to another PC, nothing helped.
Then by accident, I connected the phone without external SD in it and the phone connected just fine indefinitely.
So, I took the SD card, formatted it on PC, put it back in the phone and tried connecting to PC. It works fine.
I have no problem with USB connection now, and I hope it stays that way.

Background on what I did, in case it's relevant:
I had rooted my A13. Installed BusyBox. Then was trying to figure out how to flash CWM by first trying to figure out how to get into the stock recovery. Holding down power+volup and power+voldown didn't do anything. I think I had the USB and power both plugged in at the same time. Next thing I know, the tablet rebooted and appeared to have factory reset. But now every time it is turned off and turned back on it goes back to factory default.
Real problem:
Turns out the OS is not mounting data which is why it appears like its factory reset.
What I have done:
Installed CWM. The only way I can get to CWM is to choose factory reset from the OS and when it reboots, it goes into CWM. There's no other way for me to get into recovery, so at this point, I am hesitant to try and flash random ROMs. From CWM I can mount data and see that it should go to /dev/block/nande. With the OS booted back up, I can manually mount data and see all the files in ADB shell, But it doesn't affect the OS since it has already booted up. And if I reboot, it won't be mounted again.
So how do I make Android mount data on bootup? Or what to check to see why its not mounting data anymore? vold.fstab appears to only list SDCARD mounts.
Bump!

Hello, I was trying to reset my tab completely and I wiped EVERYTHING. I have CWM version 6.0.1.0, My tab gets stuck on Samsung logo screen. It can go into recovery but nothing else. I was told that the reason it won't boot is because I deleted the rom and there is no rom for it to go to. When I try to mount it, it doesn't show up...I've tried to install CWM 6.0.4.6 zip from external SD but installation gets aborted. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY TAB BACK ! Also it shows charging when it's turned completely off...

When you say mount it do you mean trying to send the files over through ADB or just mounting the SD card or putting it into download mode?
If its the ADB issue, try to put your tablet into download mode by using the volume key and power button, then download odin and its stock firmware and flash it using odin. Your tablet should restore to factory defaults using that method
If its the SD card then use the method above as it sounds like recovery may have lost it a bit
If you can not put the phone into download mode (which i doubt is the issue you may want to think about a USB jig as they sometimes get past those issues but from your description I doubt its a hard brick as it gets to the logo
2 things you can try!

I really new to this, i mean writing to help people, so don't flock me.
First, you say your device still have the recharging lights on when shut down, it tells me it's not only a software error, but some short circuit has happend.
Have you tried a hardreset? search google for your model if you doesn't know how.
From what i can read you still have the CWM Recovery, so download Android-SDK and try flashing the recovery from ADB (Found in platform tools.
Last but most tricky, if nothing helps, you' have to disassemble your device and temporary disable the battery, them press and hold the start button down for 5 sec to remove the poweroverload, reassemble again and try ASB adain, you can't reinstall the recovery directly from the SD
