Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE (sch-i905)
So I got this tablet from a friend who said it was bricked, said I could have it if I got it working. So I plug it in and it turns on no problem, strange. wiped tablet and added a couple apps. Got busy at work and the tablet drain power. That's when I got to see it bricked, but still not sure why it booted for a bit for me.
Symptoms:
Boots to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 splash screen (not the animated one after), sits there for ever.
Boots to Odin update mode
When booting to recovery I get a blank, back lit screen and nothing ever.
I've tried:
-Pushing clockwork mode to fix recovery
-I've had a hell of a time finding stock firmware for some reason (it isn't on sammobile), but I did find one eventually. I pushed it to the tablet via Odin, and it was successful, but rebooted to blank black back-lit screen. Have to hard boot and hold power buttun until I see the splash screen to get that far. I followed the guide on rootzwiki reposted on icsforums - www icsforums com/forum/showthread / 13525 (sorry new member can't post links)
-Followed another guide that involved draining battery completely, no go.
I don't care what firmware I end up on, or if I can use LTE (I won't anyway)
I'm a network engineer so I'm tech savy, but not heavy on Android OS. I'm looking for anything else I can try. I saw another method involving heimdall suite, but can't find the files for my model.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.

I had this problem on my gt-p7510...
What I ended up doing was wiping my sdcard..I must have had something corrupt in my file system or a kernel issue( still not sure which )..
Since you have no recovery..I think you can use odin to repartition ( I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT THIS IS JUST A GUESS )..I have not tried it..but i will search after this post to confirm..I also believe there is a way using ADB..again not sure..
I just wanted to post this so you would know somebody was looking and to maybe give you a couple ideas to follow up on...I'll search around and see what I find
Edit...I believe ADB will only work with usb debugging checked...But you can flash a stock rom in odin with re-partition checked..you need a .pit file....I think...
Edit...Here is a link to a stock rom thread for you're device..It seems to have helped a couple people with their soft-bricked devices..just follow directions in OP..no repartition checked. I cant even find a .pit file to do a re-partition with for you're device..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342995 Let me know if this works for you..
Thanks for the post!! Really appreciate it.
That firmware is the one I found in the end and tried. Odin pushes it ok, but then still doesn't boot. In fact after pushing that firmware it boots to backlit blank screen, but when hard reset boots to splash screen.
I tried a pit file I found that I thought was the right one, but it failed when I used that so it must have been wrong.

I have the exact same problem as you, except sometimes I can't my tablet to boot. I know it is a software problem because before I was messing with recovery yesterday, everything was working just fine. All I wanted to do was restore to factory settings and instead ended up bricking the device... If you find / know the answer, please do share.

Did you ever get this fixed? I've had the same problem for months. I just gave up and put it away. I recently fixed a Galaxy Tab 2 and now I want to see if anyone else was able to fix this i905 not booting issue.
did anyone know the solution of this question
To bring to whomever is reading this up to speed, I was trying to flash DN3 Rom to my note 2, and it just bootlooped and i thought it was because i didnt have an updated enough bootloader.
So i decided to download the bootloader from drketan's post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52278651&postcount=24217
After i had flashed that using odin, my note just started flashing with the samsung logo. I couldn't boot into recovery, only into download mode.
After hours of searching for fixes, i think i might have a Nand rw corruption and i've tried nearly everything i can find. But each "solution" ends the same.
I've tried reflashing to stock using the sticky thread's instructions, but odin simply stalls at the "Getting PIT for mapping.."
Anyone out there that can help me out?
Additional Info: Not sure if it'd help out, but before my note said "i605" under "Product Name" and now it says GT7100.
Just tried to plug my phone into the wall charger, and its just flashing with the samsung logo again, no led or anything.
So let me get this straight.. you have a Verizon I605 correct? And you tried flashing N7100 boot loader? Umm yea your going to need a jtag service or a new mother board..
You CAN NOT flash a bootloader from a different device..bad things will happen..
I hard bricked by galaxy s4 on the nc5 and I'm wondering if anyone else is on the nc5 and willing to make a de-brick image for me.
It's not NC5, but I have a NK1! Can still be rooted! I can make you a NC5 if you like!
NK1 Service File:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4RU_ZH5QUASdHE1b2Q2NXpVX0U/edit?usp=docslist_api
NK1 won't let me bypass the activation screen like on NC5. I tried installing a custom recovery and it killed my IMEI and Baseband. Im stuck using WiFi only and can't get past activation screen without bypassing.
I highly doubt you hard bricked your phone if you're asking for stock rom to fix it. Hard bricked it when you can't power it on or put it in download mode. It won't even light up when plugged into a charger. That happened to me with a Sprint S3 and I had to make a special SD that forced it to boot up into Download mode. I don't even think there was a battery attached. It was a while ago but pretty wild once I got it working.
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
Hello guys,
My phone hard bricked when I was trying to install a factory room, I accidentally moved all my files including system to my sd card and after that I was unable to start my cellphone and when I tried to reinstall the room something went wrong and now I can't access the download screen.
I want to know if there's anyway to solve this without a jig.
I saw this post and I think it can be the answer but it seems that no one has ever made a brick recovery image to the model of my cellphone.

Thanks for the attention!
Well i have a issue. after a fail flash. odin just get stuck at the preloader.img . tried a lot of versions of odin. non of help. even on win 10 or win 7. don't what to do...
Our device is fairly new, I doubt you will find extensive tutorials. I would give it probably a year (Nov 2017)
Exactly the same happened to me right now.
I was flashing SM-G532MUBU1APIG_CL9364647 and after Odin said PASS!
It won't do absolutely anything.
Did anyone manage to make the debrick.img?
