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!!!

So I have the tab 10.1, rooted with clockwork mod. I did a system update through settings-about-software update. It took a couple of hours, powered off. Now it won't power back on. Can't get to recovery or anything. The only time I can even get an image on the screen is if I have it charging for about a half an hour it will show the "charging screen" little android dude and the battery. Have I bricked the device? or is there anything I can do. I kinda need this fixed asap. Mom has ALS and this is her only way to communicate with us.
Hard bricking a device usually means that it won't even respond to charging. Maybe do a search and figure out what your options are. I'm not too familiar with this particular tablet but I know there are many useful toolkits out there for many devices and one may help you.
Can you get into download mode?
Would this help?

If you can get into download mode and your computer is able to detect your tablet you can go ahead and follow the video to flash stock ROM and bootloader.
Doesn't work. Gave me an error msg about md5 sum not working. I used all the files provided too. Now another thing is that i CAN get into clockwork recovery mode too, but i forgot to create a backup of my stock. Is there any way i can get access to the "sdcard" so I can flash through that?
Never mind that last post, It worked. I just downloaded it. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the help
Glad to hear it

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if ever I'm posting this on the wrong section cause I'm not sure if this is a problem from android or samsung.
I'm not good at all when it comes to phone troubleshooting so I will try my luck and ask questions about what have happened to my phone just awhile ago. I got this phone from Japan(Samsung Galaxy SII Wimax isw11sc) months ago and I only use it for multimedia purposes as it is region locked and I am at another country atm. everything is running fine until my phone asked for a software update(not really sure what upgrade that was) and I decided to give it a shot and let it download the updates. I left it to do some chores and when I came back to check on it, it reboot looped itself on the AU(mobile phone company from japan) logo.
I did some research and found some things like hard reset and download mode. I tried to do the hard reset(power/home/volume up) method but I can't seem to access the settings instead, the phone keeps on showing me this "Preparing for S/W update. Please wait." after a few seconds, the phone will reset itself back to the reboot loop.
I tried to do the download mode using odin mode but then, I realized that my phone and computer won' connect via USB port because well, my phone won't boot. Also downloaded the manual driver but my pc won't recognize it.(win7 if that helps.)
Please tell me what have happened and what I can do to fix this problem, I don't really care if i lose everything that I have stored on my phone, I just want it to work again. Help will be much appreciated, Thank you.
This may turn out a bit long...
My s2 has been playing up in one way or another for a few months now such as freezing, turning itself off and kept going into drive mode by itself then last week all my messages deleted and I couldn't send or receive any more and then the next day it turned itself off and I can't get it back on properly. It turns on, goes onto the Samsung Galaxy S2 screen then onto the O2 welcome screen then to the screen with the flashing S then just goes between that and the O2 screen over and over again. Been looking for help the last few days and the main thing I could find was to go into recovery mode and restore it but I can't do that because my home key doesn't work. So nor could I do the second thing I read could help which was to go into download mode and flash it. I didn't even know anything about recovery mode, download mode, flashing, rom, odin or anything else until last week. My phone is exactly as I bought it. I then read about a usb jig which would force it into download mode which I got today and it didn't do anything. I actually couldn't care less about the phone, I would love to just smash it to bits! BUT is there any chance I will ever be able to do anything get it back on just once so I can get my photos and videos off it? I've connected it to the computer but it comes up as an Android Modem so that I can't get the files off that way and it won't connect through Kies either. I know sending it to be repaired would end up with it coming back totally wiped so no point doing that. I normally wouldn't be so bothered it's just there's pictures of my daughter's first birthday and holiday and videos of her first steps. Is there anything else that can be done? Thanks.
There's a 0.000001% chance the phone will boot normally & your stuff will be intact if you can get into download mode & flash a one part stock rom. The more likely scenario is you'll need to flash a 3 part rom which will wipe the device.
You could try ADB to get into download mode, but you're going to need to be motivated to learn how to use it (plenty of tutorials on XDA/elsewhere; search). If that doesn't work for whatever reason, try fixing the home button.
Being a former betting man though, I don't like your chances of recovering data.

Thanks for replying. I don't have a clue what a one part or three part rom are sorry! Doesn't look good then. I'm so annoyed. I had planned to sort through my files and get them backed up last weekend because I knew this would end up happening and the stupid phone died on Thursday! I don't think fixing my home button would help because the volume button didn't work much either, it's a wreck to be honest! Had a quick look at ADB, looks complicated but I'll have a proper look later on as a final hope otherwise I'll just have to accept my files are gone for good
Just an update...tried to get into download mode with adb but it doesn't find my phone. Is this because it only comes up as an android modem by any chance? Think I may have to give up hope. At least I will learn from this and back things up a lot more often!
Hey - I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Verizon. I was trying to root and unlock it. I messed it up really horribly.
I just want to put it back to factory. Sigh.
I put it into download mode - volume down + power + home. My PC won't even recognize it.(Odin)
When I start the phone normally, I get the Verizon tone, but nothing on the screen.
If I boot into recover mode, I get the message about firmware problem detected. So, I can't even factory reset it from there.
I'm not looking for you to fix my issue, I'll do that myself.
I just want to set everything back to default.
What would be my best bet to start?
Well you should try a different cable and computer
Reset
I think at this point, I want to put this phone back to factory defaults. If I can get to that, I can at least have a common starting point if I bugger it up again.
I'm sure there is a post somewhere in here about getting a 'bricked' Galaxy S4 Verizown back to stock.
Can someone point me to that?
Thanks much!

If it gets into download mode try a different cable or try to re install the drivers for the phone and see if odin detects it.
Thanks
I will try that - thanks for the suggestion.

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.
Thomas
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.
