Well , first of all this problem started when i was trying to update the table with kies and it got stuck in 66% for hours ,so i decided to boot the tablet and try again but the problem didnt dissapear. After many tries now the kies wont recognize the tablet , it just shows a box saying the device is not answering blah blah reboot , i do it but still it wont recognize it. so i wonder what should i do , i tried installing the pda by odin but it gets stuck too in system =/ and after a while it says that it failed
That should be a lesson for everyone to NEVER use Kies.
And posting that "the device is not answering blah blah" will never get you help. If you want to have your problem solved, post detailed information with what exact steps you performed and what exact errors you get. Take a screenshot, etc. Do your best to help us help you.
You probably boot loop'ed your device, go in CWM mode and do a complete wipe for starters... it will mostly do nothing but worth a try. Then, flash your tablet with a stock vanilla 3.1 ROM which will not allow you anymore to upgrade to TouchWiz unless you use a custom ROM like Starburst or Task560. Personally, I believe that TouchWiz is a pile of garbage... but that is my humble opinion.
well somehow i managed to get it done with odin3 but as fas as i see it looks like with an europe software , cuz when i try to update or logg with my samsung acc and i have to choose a country theres no US lol
Btw what ROM would you suggest and why
Thanks for answering anyways
Hi everyone, i have a problem with my Sony Tablet S, suddenly it's freezing and when i try to turned it back on it stuck on booting screen (with sony logo ).
then i checked to the internet and i found that i have to hard reset it, by holding down the + volume button and power button in order to get to the Android System Recovery. But then again no clue, i have tried reset to factory setting and keep stuck on boot screen. its frustating.
Prompt on my screen :
E: Fail to read boot logo flag
E: Cant Open / Dev/block/mmcblk0p5
(No Such file or directory)
E: Failed to Mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: Cant mpunt/ cache/recovery/command
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E: failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
On the Android System Recovery there is Update System from SD Card, is there any possible ways that i can put Honeycomb virtual image on to the SD Card then make it as a bootable device, so i can boot from my SD Card.
Please help! thanks a lot !
If it was previously on Honeycomb, and you could find someone with a rooted Tablet running ICS from the same region and same version (WiFi vs 3G etc) then you might be able to recover it.
You would need to get them to install the rescue-bcakdoor on their device, allowing them to download the OTA update file. You could then try and ABD push that file onto your device's storage and install from the Recovery menu.
Just a thought! Otherwise, you could try sending it back under Warranty or something..
Disclaimer: This is by no means a tested solution and you may want to check on a few things before trying this. I take no responsibility for anything that happens as a result of this procedure. As always, I recommend trying Sony's Warranty and Repairs department for an official, warranty-valid repair.
Same problem here
I have the same problem with my Sony tablet s, i udated it to 4.0.3, it was working fine till yesterday when it would not start, its stuck at the logo, ive tried factory reset, but nothing changed, i did not have a recovery data either.
i would appreciate if some one would guide me how to fix it, either upload the ota update file, can i root it some how or flash it by using an UPDATE.Zip on memory card and try system recovery using android 3.2.1 ota file. please help

I got the same problem yesterday(29. May), it might be google did something via OTA. I'm using China version, changed region to US and upgraded it to ICS, but unfortunatlly, can't root in ICS now. Yesterday, it suddenly stuck and can't reboot any more. always stuck on Starting Screen. I called Sony Customer Center, and follow their struture to reset the tablet, but not help. Can any one help me to fix it....

I'm not too sure about easy fixes (I'd have to work through it a lot more, which is tricky without the error), but I know that it can't be Google. Google neither could nor would release an OTA package that aggressively downloaded to the device, installed and then broke something at system boot-level. Doesn't really work like that.

If you have this problem and you don't have a rooted tablet, you won't be able to downgrade. you must send it back for repair, since it can't reboot normally, sony won't detect any self bricking tracks, so warranty is still in the game, had the same problem to with Region Changer somewhere in V2.1 or something.
Goodluck.!
I have the same problem too, and I can't send it to sony service because it's not on sale in my country. I look forward to deal with it through sd card. Can't use USB connection. (not rooted too).
I have a similar issue, but mine seems to be stuck on the bootscreen animation (with the swirly yellow lines traveling from one side to the other). Haven't tried the power + volume up yet, will try that to see if I can hard reset. I was rooted on HC, but decided to take the ICS update so I believe that I'm unrooted at this point--still unsure though.
Regions - guarantee
Same problem here
Have tried all of the tips in this post...Still stucked with the Sony logo..
I bought my in Krakow, Poland, but lives in Norway... it has the /P on the back instead of the /N.
Do you know if the guarantee is worldwide? If I can drop this to a Sony shop in Norway?
I dont have the receipt anymore, because I claimed a refound from the company I work in...
Thanks

What color is on the tabblet?
Is it green or red?
I think if its green, there is no fix.
If its red, use the battery completely then recharge it until green light.
Try after that. Mine was fixed whit same problem.
Well, I've tried everything that I've found on the forums/internet to no avail. Just contacted Sony support and am having them send me a box to ship it back for repairs (luckily I only bought it last December). The operator on the phone says that it's most likely a hardware issue if it doesn't get pass the "Sony" logo. This leaves me a bad taste with Sony, won't be buying a tab or phone from them again.
I have had the same issue, so will be going back to Sony soon for a repair. Disappointed as I've only had it 6 weeks, but as long as the repair service is good I'll be ok.
Same problem here tonight. Unreal. Purchased last August. Won't buy another Sony again. First it was the constant soft resets in order to power on. Now this.
I got the same problem on my sony tablet s device too model SGPT111US/S anykne fixed this erorr yet?
Now i can't do any things because it stoped at logo SONY, please help, any flasher or rom support this device from pc ?
Just got off the phone with tech support. Couldn't even get it to do a factory reset. Stuck on system restore screen. Sending it in for repair. Very disappointing. Paid $500 for this thing. Didn't last a year. A few more weeks and I would have been out of luck on the warranty.

Hello,
I reciently rooted my samsung galaxy s2. I tried a few roms so i could get used to the system or restoring etc. However i encountered a problem whilst having a peek at an alpha jellybean rom, where i noticed that my CWM app on the phone had vanished? I attempted the restore using the 3 button combo and found that i kept recieveing E: can't mount/ E: can't cache messages whilst on the restore screen. i could find my latest restore on my sd card however it wouldnt restore. I believe the CWM was removed from my phone which caused it to not work. I was then stuck in a bootloop. no matter what i done, boot to a stock rom via odin, try the different CF roms i and try to put CWM back on to the phone? I read a post on here from someone who had the same problem, who was told it looked as though there is a problem with the partitions. i followed a tutorial and used odin to put Latona 20110114.pit on the phone. it said i would get a blank screen once this has done and i needed to remove then place the battery back in the phone then put it into download again. This didnt happen!! I done as instructed and now my phone wont go into recovery mode, download mode or even boot loop. I fear i have completely bricked my phone so i am trying to use oneclick heimdall to sort it however my PC keeps saying i need admin rights to install it which i have.
Can someone please help me out. I am new to this so please go easy on me.
many thanks
If you have no signs of life from the phone, it's probably cactus.
You might as well try a jig (but unlikely to work; still try one tho). Only option is service centre & hope they can't tell/don't care you've been messing with it & fix it under warranty or JTAG repair by a 3rd party repairer, at your cost obviously; will be cheaper than having Samsung/an authorised repairer fix it if they refuse warranty service which they're quite within their rights to do.

First result of searching suggests that's meant for the I9003. Good job.

Hello,
Awe well then. never mind eh, whats done is done! Its totally bricked so i thought i would chance my luck by sending it back to O2 for repair. I was reading the only other way to get the phone running again was to take it to bits and hook it up for some stock flashing. so heres hopping they sort it!
lesson learnt!!!
Hi there, I have a very big problem in my hands.
So, I had this LG K350N that I didn't use for quite a while (2-3 years or so) and wanted to try it out and root it, since it's TWRP native.
First boot.
Logo showed up.
Error message: "The device is corrupted. It cannot be trusted or functional properly", and it will not boot.
I tried EVERYTHING: flashing via Bridge, nothing, flashing via LGUP, still nada, LG Mobile Support Tool didn't even wanted to install on my PC, tried even with recovery, couldn't get even past the logo that the error shows up.
I've digged and reached the bottom, now please help me, because I don't want to bring it to a repair shop and spend money on him.
Thank you for your time and patience.
