Hi,
My Samsung Tbalet 10.1 GT7500 with Android 4.0 suddenly froze with the Samsung logo at boot and then became dead. Not starting or charging.
I have searched for help and done the following -
1.Pressing the power button long enough
2.Pressing power and volume together and similar permutations
3.Pressing volume up and down and touching the screen
4.Connecting to a car charger and connecting to a PC
5. Opened the back cover and disconnected the connector from the battery for 3 minutes and tried to charge again
I cannot even do a hard reset by pressing buttons since there's no response to any button!
Can anyone help? I don't mind even a hard rest just to get it going or any other clever ideas.
A bit desperate as cannot replace this tablet for some months!
Megan
Can only see apx on the device manager!
After spending a day with it, the tablet is still dead but when i connect to the pc and press power, I can view apx in the device manager?!!
Can any one in XDA help at all?!

I noticed that my hp touchpad was shutting down while in standby. I immediately thought it was a autoupgrade and so when it booted up and started installing the new webos I panicked and hit the power and home buttons to prevent the upgrade because I have CM7 alpha 3.5.
When I booted it up again I could only see a battery icon with a question mark in the middle. I can't make my win7 pc recognize the tablet and nor does the hp doctor for the same reason.
Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? I know that some people in the past had this same issue that was caused by faulty usb cable or not having the battery correctly inserted (for other webos devices) but this is not the case. Just before I canceled the upgrade I had 20% battery and I had it plugged in and charging.
Thanks.
Don't know if you already tried it or if it helps, but charge your TP with the original charger and your cable while the icon appears. After app. 2 h charging (should be sufficient) try to reboot it (power + mid button) into recovery mode (vol up button). If this does'n work (no reboot or something) try to force reboot (hold power button and press 10 times the home button quite fast) into recovery mode. After that, the USB icon should appear and doctoring should work (exept if you have created an extf3 partition which has to be removed BEFORE doctoring).
Hope it helps...
Best, z3no
I had it plugged in yesterday for most of the day and nothing happened apart from booting up to the same screen. Left it during the night unplugged and now can't get it to boot again. Just a bank screen , nothing happens. I have it plugged in for the last 2h but nothing changed.
Basics
Have you tried holding both the power button and the "center" or "home" button down for about 20 seconds? Release when you see the HP logo. That should force a hard reset. It saved my bacon when I had a problem caused by the new WebOS update.

thanks. I did it for more than a minute and nothing. I can't get any response from it now.
Try another charger, maybe the one you have is faulty?
There is also a posibility that the cable is now bad. I had a friend have the similar symptoms. It turned out he was abusing his cable to the point is was intermittent. He'd plug it in and think it was charging, just to come back and find it black screen, dead. He replaced it with his Blackberry charge cable (micro USB) and he's good to go.
I had the same issue with charging from day one I found that both of my touchpads
Had issues charging With the touchpad cables
the cable to me seems very flimsy so I went out and bought two blackberry cables and I have had no problems since then and the cables feel a lot better made than the hp cables
So just before going for extreme measures (aka open the device) I decided to phone HP that told me that they were going to collect the device free of charge because it's still under warranty (they confirmed that). The problem is what if they find out that I had and Ext3 with android on it? will they charge me for the fix? because the issue must be in the battery (once it can not even charge or boot). But can they fix the battery but then charge me because later they find out about the CM7 stuff? Thanks for your help
Hey guys, I'm desperate for help. I am running Slimbean 4.3 on my Vibrant, and last night while I was just browsing Reddit in an app, my phone shuts off immediately with no warning, no shut down sequence, and plenty of battery charge left. Now it just sticks on the Vibrant boot screen, restarting every 20 seconds or so if I try to turn it on, or if I plug it in it just stays at the spinning circle. I am unable to enter recovery mode through all the button combinations I have tried. The best result I have had is taking the battery out, holding up/down volume, then inserting the battery. This gets me to the "downloading, do not turn of target!!!" screen, but I cant get past that screen. The only computer I have access to is a mac, so I have't been able to try anything using ODIN. Does anyone have any tips or advice, I really can't afford to buy another phone right now with Christmas coming up. Thanks a lot guys.

Usually it send the phone to download mode when you have a USB or charger cable plugged in. Make sure you have that port clear then try it. Mac's can run Hemidall (I think that's how you spell it) which is like an odin equivalent. I don't have much experience with that but someone else here might. Try researching that as well. That should put you on the right track
I just bricked my xp.
Firstly, even though there was no OTG connected, i got otg power consumption error and the battery kept on draining even when my charger was connected.
Then, when the phone was off, i connected it to the wall charger. It did not switch on, it was like a semi bootloop where it kept on showing kernel name, the restarting.
So i went into CWM and tried backing up. During backup, the battery ran out and there was the hard brick.
power button, charger, vol up down not responding.
Any help appreciated.
I love god
WOW,
i got so angry that i threw my phone down, and it stated to work,
Admin pls delete this thread
first connect your phone to pc
then boot into recovery mode by pressing. v- and. power button together.
all done your phone will restart
press thanks
Hi I'm really hoping someone can help me. I received a Sony z2 tablet spg521. I was told it was new but it would not power on or charge, and the charge light would sometimes blink red. Well I got the fixed or so I thought by doing a soft reset and then pc companion...sounded simple but spent a couple days trying to be successful. Sometimes my computer would recognize it sometimes it wouldn't.... Any way I finally got it out the blue dont know what the difference was I was just happy it finally worked... I then fully charged...yadayada and used it flawlessly for about a week... It would turn on and off, battery held charge like its supposed to, everything seemed to work.....then I went to power off but hit the restart by mistake....no there is no power again and this time it will not do a soft reboot.....no light ever....computer will not recognize ever....I have been trying off and on for a few days.....among-est my research to try to correct it seems like this is very common....when i shut it off the battery was over 50%..so how can something work fine then just die like this??? Ive seen that sometimes with sony if you disconnect the battery and the reconnect this will work... does anyone know? does anyone have any advice before I take apart this cherry tablet to try the battery thing???
I would really appreciate any insight as I have fixed many of my own problems and for others from advice on this site. Have a wonderful day and thank you!!! :silly:
ok today i tried to use flash-tool that Ive read about on this site....when it asked to plug n device computer recognized it and red light came on, but flash-tool did not recognize it....torn between letting it set and seeing what happens or trying to get the flash-tool to work, I chose the flash-tool...bad mistake when I went to try to reconnect and see if the FT would see it..it was no longer recognized by the computer and no light but computer did say USB device not recognized and not installed correctly.....now I already have the right drives so now Im really confused..tried a couple more times with same results and then once again nothing...no light no soft reset no recognized at all by computer not even not recognize USB....so disappointing loved the tab but this is insane that sony does this as its not user error but sony error and they dont even man-up and try to make it like you dumb or something....will try again..when i calm...
reset the device by pressing power+volume(up or down) for several seconds. It seems like a toasted one, possibly caused by putting magnetic charger on wrong polarity.
Thank you yes Ive tried all kinds of resets I have found...I agree seems fried but I would not know how. I have not used a magnetic charger...only the regular sony one that came with it....
So last few days I have tried off and on again....now computer recognizes by making noise when connected and disconnected but does not show up...PCC does not recognize it.....flashtool says its connected in log but when it asks for it to be plugged in it never leaves the screen telling you how to connect....when I try to connect the charge light comes on for about 4-5 secs then turns off....still no vibrate when try to reset still no light when plugged to a charger.....I want to get another one but I am scared this will happen again....gonna chuck this one as if time is money then I have well exceed the worth in time... I only got this because some time ago a sony z1 came my way and I so love it...i recently upgraded to z3.....i have a lg pad but screen got broke so I got the sony tab....maybe Ill just fix the lg

Mine is kinda toasted and this is how it works. Whenever I have a problem, I have to reset by pressing power + volume up, as soon as I hear three vibrations, I turn it on by pressing power button. Otherwise this tablet will just repeat sony logo and no boot. If you have bought one "NEW" make sure to return or replace it. If you want to enter fastboot mode, repeat the resetting routine and pressing power button to turn on, but also right after that or even simultaneously press volume up to enter fastboot mode with usb cable inserted, or volume down to enter flash mode. either way, your unit is toasted and sony sucks.
Well, I have the same problem, and isn't fun. Just very extreme rare cases it turns on the screen charging the battery, but doesn't turn on sadly
I did a happy boot today after 3-4 months off with several times trying turn it on, and did all the tricks from all treats about SOD
Last weekend I did a full charge from deep red to green light and battery animation on screen at start, but no luck.
I put it back in the box
This weekend I got some visitors, one of them asked about the tab, told him it didn't work and showed to him
Pressed the power button and to my WERY BIG surprise, it vibrate and turned on as nothing was wrong
The battery was only 54% after one week off. it received a update (264) and I installed as normal, turned off and on again as normal and happy I was

Bought Elephone P9000 for her indoors, when she switched the phone on initially there was a test screen which baffled her so she switched the phone of and left it for me. Now the phone will show that it is charging and the battery image will show on the screen. However the phone will not power on. I have tried the power button and starting via the Hard Reset buttons and nothing is appearing on the screen. Any suggestions as to how to rectify this problem?
Hi.
Is it possible to boot recovery? Hold vol+ and power.
Greetings

Try flashing a stock ROM using SP Dlash Tools.
Stupid question, but have you disconnected from power before trying to turn on? It seems to show battery every time I try to turn on with power connected but turns on fine with a 3 second hold of the power button once charger is disconnected.
My phone won't power up, too. It is just showing the elephone logo. Is this the case for you, too?
I.have the same issue. Vol and.Power.buttons do not.do thing. if the charger is plugged in, a green egg timer appears.for a few.seconds, but the phone does not power up/ switch on.
Any ideas anyone?
soloution

Does anyone knows if the connector on power button is cut off (the flex cable for power and volumes buttons), the phone will not charge anymore?
The phone stop charging or power on, I opened the back cover carrefully and observe that this flex cable is broken.

this forum is for elephone p9000 not s7.. post questions in elephone forum website or the right xda device thread(if theres one..)
Connect it with a PC through a branded USB Cable and then press power or POwer+Vol button it will show you some messages on screen.
My Elephone S7 shows boot Mode and the cursor keep on scrolling from Top to Bottom.
I think you may have some problem like the same.
