Hello. I have a 2012 Samsung Tab 2 that was branded for ATT and the model number is SGH 1497. It has been in a drawer for a year and I never use it but I thought I would experiment with it and try to install the Marshmellow Rom even though I am a noob at this stuff. My first problem was that I saw nothing for my version SGH 1497 but I did read on a forum that the Rom 5113 would work for that model. After going through a lot of websites I finally found one that seemed pretty easy and the root process went perfectly for me, no issues at all. I then followed instructions and downloaded the needed files and moved them onto my tablet and all was going well. I was then instructed to boot into recovery mode and that is where my troubles started. I believe it said to hold power and volume down key. Recovery mode would pop onto the screen but then vanish and it would never go into it. So I did more reading and someone had posted that I needed to download the toolkit and re-install a new recovery mode. So I did that just fine and still the same thing happened. I then tried 2-3 more of the other recovery modes and the same thing happened. At that time the tablet would still boot normally. So then I did something else and now my tablet wont turn on anymore. If I push power enough times the Samsung logo will pop onto the screen and then it goes away and that's it. It will turn on to download mode but that is it. Nothing else. Im not upset because I knew this could happen but I surely should have came here first. Is there anything I can do to get this thing back working again or is it hopeless??
Thank you for any help and advice.

I was able to fix it by finding the exact same firmware that ATT put on this tablet and then using Odin to flash it. Works fine and is rooted.
Does anyone know of a custom rom that will work on this model sgh 1497??
Thanks.

I am at wits end. Got it rooted and everything, but used the wrong kernal. I had good sucess with my Captivate, so I tried a similar procedure. Unfortunetly, when I boot the phone I end up with "Can't acess to '/system/csc/ATT/system/'. I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post but at the risk of looking like an idiot, I'll beg
Edit: I do have access to download mode, and Odin.
Im sorry i cant help you, im not good enough, but i guess we (who's able to help) need more informations.
Model of your S2? i9100 or 9100g?
What kind of wrong kernel you flashed?
Is your phone a standard or a AT&T S2?
I think this infos can be very helpfull
It's the i777, the kernal was the XWKDD, and it's an AT&T. It worked fine, rooted, got Busybox and everything to work. But I noticed the back button didn't work, and the home button backed me up. To I attempted to install a ROM, and then it won't start. I got one installed, but it sits at the clockwork recovery screen. The power button won't function as OK, so I can't qipe the data.
Designgears has started a ATT sgs2 ROM. you can use that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286939
I discovered the 3-file way to do it in another thread, but this unfortunately leaves me back and my search button not functioning.
Edit: Fairly certain I turned it into the european version of the phone, since the 2 buttons don't work and the default clock is 24 hour.
As an update, I can get most things to work except I can't get the button configuration correct...which isn't an issue until I try to use CWM or something of that sort...any help to get the button config back to standard I777 would be GREATLY appreciated

My apologies, I don't know my way around here like I do at OCN.
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
Hi Everyone,
First of all I would like to apologize, if I am repeating any question. I tried many threads but I couldn't understand completely. Hence I am afraid I need to ask individually. Hope thats fine with the community.
So, I own a Samsung Galaxy SII since last 27 months. I bought it with Orange on a contract in France and the company unlocked it many months ago since I do not live in France anymore. I have never flashed the phone with any other ROM, or provided root access or anything else. I have always used Kies to update the software. If I remember correctly the phone currently has Jelly Bean on it (4.1.2 I think). It doesn't have any external SD card, just the internal memory.
Due to some unknown reason, since yesterday the phone is not able to boot up. Its stuck at "Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100" screen. I tried to used Volume up+Home+Power keys to go into recovery mode which is not possible. I also tried to go in Download mode using Volume down+Home+Power keys which is possible. Then I tried to connect with Kies to connect it but after 15-20 mins Kies gives error in recognizing the device. When I open ODIN 1.85 (I guess that is the version which should work with my phone), it does shows "Added" status for the device.
Now after reading many posts I have realized that restoring to stock rom would resolve the issue, but it still dint for many. What is appropriate way to deal with this problem. I found some stock rom on the page of mobile network comparison webpage , but I am not sure if I should use it or not. Also I am afraid if I should check the region/model etc for this. I guess I should only install ROM which lies in France-Orange category.
I do not care about any data since I back up my phone from time to time. But I do not wish to play around with the phone much, unless required. However I would appreciate if there is any way to restore the contacts and message stuff.
Thank you very much for your help and support. I highly appreciate the effort.
I had rooted my T110, but it was still very slow. I took everything I didn't use out of there, including the default keyboard. I ended up getting a new tablet through a Verizon promotion, so decided to sell the T100. A friend was looking for one for her son, I told her to look at it and if he wanted it, to let me get it ready. I explained I had done a few things that needed to be undone before he could reset it. She either didn't listen or didn't understand. When he said he wanted it, she factory reset it. It started up and all seemed fine until she found there was no keyboard.
I have used Odin 3.09 and tried to put stock firmware on it. Odin says it was successful but it was still coming up without a keyboard. Now I can only boot into download mode. It only stays on for a couple seconds in any mode except download mode, and even then if it is not connected via usb to the computer it shuts down. I can't get it into recovery mode at all and as I said, to try to just start it, it gets to the first page saying Samsung Tab 3 Lite, then almost immediately shuts down.
Can anyone help me find an answer for this? I might be wrong, but keep thinking since I am able to get it to work with Odin, it is possible that I haven't totally lost it and still may be able to get a few bucks out of it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
Ok, first up I know there are many posts out there about this issue because I've looked at most of them and tried them so please bear with me.
I have a Samsung Galaxy GT-N8010, about 4 years old. I have never rooted or done anything to the firmware in all that time except OTA updates & the occasional factory reset to clean things up.
Couple of months ago it was on, i had been using it and put it down and when i came back it was on the Samsung logo screen and has been ever since.
Since i could get into the download page even though it was already bricked I figured i'd try rooting to see if i could fix the problem. Now possibly i should have attempted to get into recovery mode first but I attempted to install CWM (as per posts here). It appeared to install fine. But no recovery partition, screen blinks and goes back to the logo.
I've tried flashing stock firmware, TWRP, CWM - all 'appear' to install successfully according to ODIN, but nothing changes, still stuck on the logo screen.
So does this sound like a hardware issue or am i missing something? The Tab A 10.1 with s-pen looks great, would be a perfect replacement, but is not available in NL
Thanks guys (& gals)
