Hi guys.
Tonight I did a data reset via the system settings menu within the OS so that all personal data can be wiped from the phone.
Shortly after I did this, the phone reset, then just started randomly flashing and not booting, occasionally pausing on a totally white screen.
I tried to enter into recovery mode with no luck, and had no luck with download mode either.
My USB jig worked and got me into download mode, and it now also lets me enter download mode via the 3 button method.
I figured I would just use odin to flash a new kernel/ROM, however the phone refuses to come up in odin and is no longer even recognised on my PC (unknown usb device).
I've tried installing and reinstalling drivers, different usb ports, different cable etc and nothing makes any difference.
Anyone have any clue what I can do about this?
PS. The phone was on rootbox rom (unsure of version) and I'm fairly certain it had siyah kernel.
sorry, posted in the wrong section.
please switch it over, mods
No recovery?

What version were you running? GB, ICS or JB? Which kernel? Did you try to flash tar file? Repartition through Odin?
Sent from my digital submersible hovercraft.
It was running ICS, unsure of exact version.
And I did not try to do anything with odin as the phone is not recognised at all any more, doesn't come up in odin..
and yes, I cannot access recovery mode at all via the 3 button method
Didn't it work with the jig?
Tell us what you can do with your device right now.
Sent from the little guy
as above, I can enter download mode, but absolutely nothing else.
no boot, no recovery, phone is not recognised in odin, phone is not recognised by windows.
Can you find the device in windows device manager as unknown device?

mate, I really appreciate you trying to help me but I'm not entirely sure that you are even reading my posts.
I'm not sure how I am supposed to flash a kernel when my device is not even seen (besides "unknown device") on my PC, and does not display at all in Odin.
ps: i've already tried all of those steps in that link, nothing has helped

I've read your post?
Have you read mine?
What are we trying to do here?
To make your PC see your device.....am I right?
yes, the objective is to make my PC see the device.
and seeing as the PC needs to see the device for me to flash anything to it, I'm unsure as to how flashing siyah will help me when I cannot in fact flash anything at all

yeah yeah
You get unkown device when plugged in? delete that.
Install kies.
Already installed? uninstall it.
Re install.
just figured out the problem with it not recognising it via usb, it was a dodgy USB flex that I'd installed to fix a microphone problem (which eventually turned out to not be hardware related).
just swapped back the original board and hey presto, the damn thing is recognised in windows and in odin.
thanks for the help guys
Be carefull now.

Try a different USB port, lgnpst won't work with USB 3.0 .
i only have usb 3.0 =(
Hye Guys
as per title, i read most of the solution ( i think so) in this forum, but none can solve mine,
because..
1) my original usb cable cant be detected by my pc so I cant use ODIN
2) the android recovery does not have "install zip from sd card" , so i cant flash cwm and root
so, my tab isnt rooted and I cant flash to a new rom due to above reason
This is all happened when I tried to factory reset from stock ICS..
please help me with a good solution

try to uninstall yours device drivers from pc. Do a fresh clean and reinstall em. After that if u can t link your device maybe you have a broken cable.
Anyway u aren y be able to see install to zip option because your device isn t rooted yet and u can do that using odin or twp as i know.
^ what he said...your main problem is getting your tab connected to PC. Either reinstall your drivers or use another cable. Once that's done, Odin flash cwm recovery and then only you can root and install custom ROMs.

1. Do you have correct driver installed ?
2. Did you try using it as OTG with your usb drive whether it connect as storage ?
3. If you can boot to recovery mode , you'll surely have the option "install zip from sd card" .Try look again into it.What's your recovery version ?
4. You can set your PC folder as Sharing samba and put your 10.1 root.zip into your sdcard.Install es explorer and copy the file as LAN wifi router.
5. Manual back to recovery and root it again.
6. Install latest recovery ver via odin again
Hope it helps

You don't have the install zip from sdcard because you're recovery is stock...and the old ( update from sdcard option ) on stock recovery was removed in 4.0.4 ICS...So that's out.
Do as above stated and try a fresh install of drivers/or older set and a different version of Odin. I have an older version linked in my FAQ thread...but only use the recovery zip and root zip in the link if you have a p4wifi only tablet. The Odin version will work though for any tablet model.
I'll look around..I might have an alternative way...but I'm not sure. I'll post back later today, as I'm at work..:good:

Give this thread a read and try the app...its called Framaroot...it has a new exploit that might now work with you're device. If it doesn't..no harm done. But read the thread op...as it will give you info on some things to try if the app fails the first time.
Let me know if it works.. So I can update my FAQs thread and you or myself can post to the apps thread to help update the supported devices for the op over there...Thanks

guys, thank you for trying to help,
but sorry, none above can solve the problem,
for cable and driver issue ;
i already tried to uninstall and install various type of galaxy tab p7500 driver that available in the internet, and tried to connect it to my pc, my friend's and my wife's pc but still a NO, tried to change the setting>storage>choose usb pc connection, disable USB debugging, but still nothing
and i tried to use the cable to connect my wife's galaxy tab to pc, and it works just fine
so confirm : driver - OK , cable - OK
for ODIN ; NO GO
as related to above issue, i tried to download mode and nothing happen, on the screen only appear "waiting for usb" and no yellow signal from ODIN in pc, tried with Odin3-v1.85
for recovery ; NO GO
in the screen tab, it appear version Android System Recovery <3e>
it only have menu:
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
with the help from airdroid app(via wifi), i put cwm file recovery.img and update.zip/root.zip/superuser.zip for root, but none of them is detected in the recovery
so neither rooting nor flashing can be done here
for Framaroot app NO GO
i installed Framaroot-1.6.1 into the tab, it rejected right away, not supported
mobile odin pro 3.76 ; NO GO
need to root first
terminal emulator; PENDING
need to root, but i found somewhere in the internet that we can root via TE just that need the specific code, I have no idea on this, tried to search terminal emulator help for galaxy tab 10.1 but none found, only found for other devices.
and another problem i cant type anything in the TE
so Terminal Emulator ; can't type , not sure the script/command
USB OTG;
i have no clue on this, do i need a specific driver?
so, is it Terminal emulator or usb otg might able to solve the problem?
really appreciate ur assistance, guys
@khaix
Seen this...maybe worth a try...
Quick STEP:
1. Connect TAB to PC ( with its corresponding USB cord )
2. While its connected ( MTP connected appears on your TAB )
3. GO to Control Panel on your PC ( Find the Devices and printer )
4. while in the " Devices and Printer ( SAMSUNG ANDROID will appear w/ a red marker saying " it has a problem connecting " )
5. Right Click the " SAMSUNG ANDROID " and press the fix problem .
6. then it will automatically fix the problem why your TAB wont connect to your PC ( Just fallow the troubleshoot steps )
7. Then its a rap.
If that is not an option...
Try uninstalling drivers and kies..reboot you're computer( make sure drivers were uninstalled ). Now reinstall drivers,but not kies. Or just plug in you're device and let it download the drivers..but no kies..
Try these two options to get connected and let me know...if they don't work I'll keep look...

As said before, you can't flash anything in your current t recovery because it is the stock recovery. About TE, for some reason you can't type anything using the stock Samsung keyboard. Download Google Keyboard from play store then you can type in it. But you won't be able to write the recovery.img into your tab because that would require root.
Try to go to Settings -> Storage -> press the menu button or the 3 dot button (whatever it is you want to call it) at the top right -> make sure the first checkbox is ticked.

Hi guys,
I already unistalled Kies and the tab driver, restart, install the latest usb driver and restart again, and connect my tab to pc, still nothing, but when i ttried my wife's tab, it immediately detected the tab, so the cable is ok, only something is wrong with the tab...
i also double checked at setting>storage>3 lines at right end corner>media device (mtp)
still nothing
ok, one thing i forgot to mention
this problem happen after I did a factory reset on this tab. now got "x" red cross at battery bar, and when i switch it off, it appear the charging bar like it is charging even it is not. and end up battery still draining even in off mode
also sim card cant be detected..

Sounds to me like you need to clean the charger port...it might have something crossed over...I've seen this in the epic 4g touch forum.. You're device is reading that something is in contact with the charging port...since its not reading the cable that came with the device..it puts the red x over the battery bar. You can't charge these tabs with just any cord..unless you're running a custom ROM..
The sim card I'm not sure...check that port and we'll proceed from there..

I just did that, clean the port carefully and tried again to connect to pc
The result still the same, not detected but only chargin like before, with red x on the battery bar
This is so frustating, am i reaching a dead end?
Sorry if you mentioned it before, but is your tab able to connect to PC normally? I mean without download mode and Odin and all those stuff.
And all this happens after you factory reset your tab using stock recovery right?

The x happens when connected to USB or charging? If USB then its normal since by default it isn't charging.

Look at this thread.. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...galaxy-tab-10-1-not-charging-brand-new-3.html
I'm thinking it has to be the port or the 30 pin connector...I know. You said it works with other devices...but trust me when I say...technology is a fickle mistress...
Did he say that? Whoops, I think I missed it.
I don't know much about these ports so I'll let you take over this thread.

Hey guys,
So I've scoured the internet to no avail, perhaps someone smarter than me can be of some use here. Here's my problem:
I have an S3, when plugging it into ANY PC with one of four USB cables, it starts charging, and does nothing else, the PC does not pick it up at all. I know there's no problem with the cable or the PC because I've tried it with another S3 which is detected immediately by windows.
I've tried multiple codes, setting it to Modem and PDA mode, I even did a factory reset which brings me to my second problem: I lost the data I thought I'd backed up.
So I'm not worried about recovering this data, I'm fairly certain I'll be able to get it back if I can get this USB working, but I'm out of ideas. I know it's not my drivers, because 3 different PC's manage to detect the other S3 without a hitch.
I've removed the battery, the sim card, rebooted, booted in download mode. Still nothing.
Any ideas?
PS: First post FTW. I'm not one to ask for these things unless I've exhausted all other resources, so if there is actually a working solution I've missed, I apologise in advance.

Hmm I'd give it a try if I could actually connect it to a pc... There's no way to flash anything straight from the phone, correct?

Ok thanks will give it a try
Another question, in terms of recovery. I made xml and vcf backups onto the internal storage, thinking they'd stay on the device. Should the USB mode not work, is there any way for me to recover these files from the device? The apps I've seen so far, only recover images. Which is great, but not completely helpful.

Use PhilZ recovery there is a odin compatible version in his thread you can flash and also a Aroma installer add on where you can browse and copy files in recovery. Look in his thread >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 << post three explains Aroma and how to use.

I'm failing to see what your post is trying to accomplish. You're a senior member here. Did you read my post at all, beyond the title?

Lol, I assumed as much. I deduced that the microUSB port must have had some form of internal breakage. Which is fine, I'll get that repaired if I can. I failed to mention it's a family member's phone. So I'm a bit weary of doing too much hacking/flashing, etc.
I did manage to root it with that Aragorn rooting app, I forget the name. I then installed DiskDigger and recovered some images, a good start. I'm still somewhat lost as to how I can recover XML and VCF files, as DiskDigger doesn't seem to support such formats. Those were my SMS and contact backups.
PS: I appreciate all the help so far Tallman, many thanks
