boot loop or soft brick - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , I use Galaxy Tab 4 , SM-T235
and it suddenly started getting slower , I did not use any kind of rooting , I restarted my device and now it stuck to Samsung Logo
I tried to use Odin to put a new ROM or firmware or whatever it is, but Odin says FAILED , after that when I restart my Tab , it shows " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue , please select recovery mode in Kies and try again "
so now the only thing I can do is going to download mode , I tried using Kies but it shows connecting and it takes forever for connecting but it never connects and it never shows any error, when I go to Tools > Emergency firmware recovery , it asks for recovery code , and I have no idea what's that , I tried many times with Odin , but it keeps failing , I changed the USB cable and used other USB ports and other Odin versions and it keeps showing FAILED .
So I appreciate it if anyone helps me !

do search, and do post ur qestion in correct section
and read this
srry for the post in wrong section as i m new.....phone is normaly going to download mode but on flashing it stuck at MIBIB i've tried many multilple file as well as single file firmwares
might be kies running in background, or usb port problem, or ur pc problem, or ur usb cable problem.
so close kies, kill its process via taskmanager, try other usb port, try other pc/laptop, try other usb cable.
I have the problem like that. using odin and stuck in MBIB. I have that problem when using windows xp and just granted as normal user.
then I login as administrator, and there is no problem any more.
Well , download a stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it using odin.Remove the battery to shut down the phone , the boot it and go to download mod

[Q] Replace mainboard GT-I9300 ??

Hi all,
Yes, i know there might be another topic on this, but trust me, ive looked, ive been looking for a solution for a full week now, and i know someone here can help me..
SO PLEASE HELP!!
I was running AOKP build6 on my SGS3 GT-I9300 International version, which performed excellent for more than a year, suddenly it became unstable, my phone would freeze completely and i had to reboot 10 times a day, it got worse, it just started rebooting out of nowhere
SO, i thought it a good idea to look for another ROM, and to be safe i tried flashing the stock ROM from the CMW recovery mode..
That did not work for some reason, it said Fail - so i went to try the PDA file option in Odin (newest version)
In Odin, i use the PDA button to load a md5/tar file, (Odin says 0COM/ connected, it can see my phone is connected) but when i start, it says Fail
-Phone will not start in recovery mode, it DOES go into Download mode, but any other way of trying to start in Download mode, it gives the following message:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies"
I have updated (reinstalled) the latest version of Kies, but Kies cannot connect to my phone (while Odin does)
It just keeps "Connecting" but does not connect, i tried all options in Kies "connection problems" (mine is in dutch) but it just will not connect
I am almost sure i unticked the box for USB Debugging, / so USB Debugging mode is OFF (im pretty sure)
Can this be the reason why Kies does not connect?
Am i completely scr*wed now?
I tried the firmware on another topic here, but in Odin it just says FAIL
I think you would call this HARD BRICKED??
i can still boot into Download mode, but is that enough? cause USB Debugging is OFF and Kies does not find my phone
Is it neccesary to replace my mainboard perhaps? I feel i have no luck trying to push firmware whatsoever...\
This hurts (since my backup phone is a slow unrooted S1
PLEASE PLEASE some help ?? ?
Sounds like either partial sds (product name blank in download mode) or a hard brick.
Lots of other identical threads, if you've read them then you already know there is no easy solution.
Use "firmware update and initialization" option in kies, under tools.

HELP - Odin . Galaxy S3 (Cant Open Serial(com) Port)

Hi,
A friend of mine has a problem with his S3. As soon as it boots it shows this screen:
Phone isn't able to boot into recovery mode. Only Download mode - it shows the following:
The problem is when trying to flash a emergency firmware (or any other thing) in Odin. It shows COM7 Connected, but when press Start, it takes a few minutes, and finally then shows the message: Failed to open COM (Port)!!...
I am sure that Kies is not running (even tried at other PC - installed successfully Samsung Drivers), and the result is the same!
Can you help me with this? Or shall I consider it a lost cause?
Thanks in Advance
Cako
That's a corrupt or damage emmc chip, sorry.
Try the dead boot restore thread in general forum.

Samsung Galaxy Tab [GT-P1000] Soft Bricked

Today,I was trying to upgrade my samsung tab.The upgrade instruction shows me how to upgrade using Odin 1.7v.
When I in downloading mode,Odin say FAILED! to me.I disconnected my tab and computer safely.Suddenly,my tab shows the computer and phone image.I was google this problem and i know this is soft brick.After that, my tab wont show anything if it not connected to the power.It is not work on my computer too so my computer cant detect my tab so odin and heimdall not found my device.
My questions is:
Why did my phone not connected to my tab.
Sorry for any wrong spelling because im malay
Hi , let's be clear
You can't flash like that any firmware for your device !
You must flash just firmware for the region for which the phone is made that why Odin will fail .
I understand that on your device once you had disconnected from pc is showing now Computer and phone icon with usb or what ?
Did you tried again to put your device into Download mode ?
