[Q] Bricked Tab3, Help** - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I successfully rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 (model sm-t110, if that matters), then made a huge mistake. Upon believing that i was going to sell it, i went to settings, and selected to reset phone, foolishly thinking it would take it back to factory/out-of-the-box condition. Now, when i attempt startup, the B&W logo appears repeatedly, followed by this screen with options:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What is the best way to fix this? I prefer to go back to the rooted version, or whichever method is easiest!
Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

re:
The closest i came is trying to flash? a ROM (i think, my knowledge is obv limited) via SD card. But i think i read error msgs right before the device re-booted...
Thanks again....
RWB
EDIT: microSD, not USB! Dammit

HELP!?
Lil' help please?!
Just point me in the right direction, anything!!
Thanks in advance!

You can download the stock firmware and flash it via Odin. That should restore it back to it's stock unrooted out of the box state

Hey, thanks for the reply.
Currently, i dont have access to a PC or laptop. I can borrow one from a friend, if needed...seems like it is a necessity, right??
Thanks again, and if there are any other tips you or anyone can provide, it would be MUCH appreciated!

Yes. You would need a Windows PC for ODin to work, and the Samsung drivers installed.

Not so familiar with chrome books, but I'm guessing, NO

Look around for jODIN3 , it's a web based solution for flashing Odin files...I know for a fact that it works on Mac and Linux..,
You might want to give it a shot and let us know if it works on a chrome book

[Q] [HELP] [WTSR/SMPL] Bricked SGSII by removing Gmaps

Hey guys,
Pretty desperate here, and I've been searching the forums and other pages on the web for a solution, but nothing yet.
I'm afraid I did something pretty stupid. I wanted to update Gmaps, but Play Store gave me the 'not signed correctly, please delete older version' message. So I tried to uninstall the old Gmaps through Settings, but that didn't work.
Than I had this 'brilliant' idea to just hardcore delete Gmaps through Titanium Backup. Well, I did and... BOOM! Black screen, a short boot loop and after that... nothing.
I took out the battery for about 15 minutes and placed it back in, and now I get this weird message saying 'WTSR/SMPL'.
Phone won't start up in Recovery, only Download mode.
Somebody can help me out here?

Flash a stock rom in download mode with Odin, clean slate. Then re-root your phone & you can restore a backup (if you have one).

Thanks for your response so quick, appreciate it.
BTW, are you sure there is no other way? Did you see this WTSR message before?
No probs. No, I've never seen it. But thinking logically; you have no recovery, the phone won't boot normally & you can only get into download mode. You don't really have any other option other than the one I suggested, do you ?

Not sure. The weird thing is: when I press the home button repeatedly, the screen starts flickering from white to black and back. So there's still something alive, don't you think?

Help required to unbrick!

So I got this after a blunder with Odin.

It was fine till I downloaded Odin 1 Click download.
After that, the ohone simply won't turn on!!
Whats wrong? And What to do next?
forced download, the device is begging you to flash something.
Plug it in, odin it, and make sure you are flashing the RIGHT ROM for your device's model.

Yes, I did.
Then I downloaded Odin 1 Click, which was suppose to stock ROM it. Instead, created a new problem.

[SEEK] Thread with complete explanations on custom rom protocol installation

Hello there, I won't lie, I ask for help, you answer me.
I don't understand enought your method, because it's not well described.
But.. Therefore...
I'm able to root my device.
I'm able to backup my ta partition or my drm keys.
I'm able to unlock my bootloader.
I'm able to restore my bootloader to lock it back.
i'm able to unbrick my phone when it couldn't boot via flashtool.
Click to expand...

But I'm unable to install a custom recovery and or even launch the stock on it there was one.
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647492 (normal boot and no pink led).
I tried this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799388 via flashtool and my phone couldn't boot, even to the SONY logo, but it were vibrating when pushing on the power button.
Anyway, I flashed via flashtool the 14.4.A.0.108 back, now I'm still rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.

What can I do to install a custom recovery via the 14.4.A.0.108 ?
Or this operation is impossible and I have to downgrade ?
(I read about downgrade and I'm affraid to lose my IMEI)

Thank you for your glorious complete explanations.

I'm pretty sure the problem here is that there is a stock firmware development aka the custom ROMs can't just start "taking over from where the devs left off" like it happened with Samsung Devices that get stuck at v4.1.2 unless someone else does something about it.
I guess most things here just are not stable. I hope the stock works out for you. Did you get the rooting done? I found a video tutorial for that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...de-root-android-4-4-4-ver-14-4-0-108-t2801587

Hello, of course I have done rooting, now I'm back in full stock, nk rooting, just pure sony beauty. And everything works better without root, or it doesn't matter, but the navigation and the use of the device is much smoother without lags

sure, here you can download it: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=38A2609CB47711E7963AFA163EE8F90B or https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-e/SM-T377P/SPR/download/T377PVPU3CQI4/192072/
if you decide to flash this, please helpme with the debrick.img again:laugh:
I have sm 377w that the same thing has happened to I tried to bypass by following instructions on here I flashed a combo rom it to a screen that said binary something. So the next step was to factory reset dis that and then the samsung logo came up and it shut off. Would your method work to get a Derrick.img file. I have the exact same tablet that I can try on. I just don't want to be stuck with two bricks.
I know this is 5 year old post but if anyone stumbles on this thread, here is the debrick.img taken from a SM-t377w.
Just rename it debrick.img cause chrome renames it ands [1] to the name.

[SOLVED] S10+ Clone boot looping after TWRP attempt!

Hello guys, very cool forum! I'm a new B so please bare a little patience
I had a dusty S10+ clone laying around, so I have tried to TWRP it! Unfortunately, did not thought of backing up firmware at first!
Ended up with a non booting phone! I have tried many MTK6580 firmwares with no luck. It is supposed to be a MT6580 With Android 9, but all the firmware I find are SM-G9700 or 9750, when at the back of the phone is written SM-G9600UD. Dont' think this is relevant since the firmwares are tweaked anyway! Finally found 2 firmwares, one with boot sound volume keys sound but white screen and the other one with black screen, no boot no sound but with recovery menu showing up with correct key pressed (not working) but at least I think this LK.BIN works with this screen! I first tried to use the working lk.bin with the booting firmware but then I get a back light on to off loop with no boot! I know some of you can edit the files to make it work but I have no idea an no knowledge how to do that! The stock firmware is supposed to be MT6580_EMMC_samsung_SM-G9600_9_0_ALPS_L1_MP6_V2_19_HCT6580_WEG_A_L_P55 but I only find SM-G9700 or 9750! I have tried a android 7 once for GM9600 but the LK.BIN in this firmware almost fried the screen! So now I am very careful, any ideas would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
