GT-N8000 Soft Bricked!? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
My Samsung GT-N8000 was working perfectly a few months ago, then out of the blue I started it up to an error which says, "Encryption unsuccessful, encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset etc..." So naturally I tried entering into twrp recovery in bootup using the power button + volume down but for some reason I cannot access recovery, it just shows samsung galaxy logo TWICE and then proceeds to normal bootup which leads to the encryption unsuccessful message. (Download Mode still works tho...) So I tried using Odin to recover twrp but nooo ,Odin decides not to recognize my device.
I've tried every possible instructions I could find online but to no avail... So I've quickly created an account here just to post this query out of frustration. listed below are some the things I have already tried.
-Updated Samsung USB Drivers on my PC, Laptop and friends PC
- Using Odin on another PC
- Used 3 different USB Cords on my GT-n8000 but still the same.
-tried all the ports on my PC, Laptop and friends PC
PS I've flashed Lineage OS on my device and it was rooted.
Any help will be very much appreciated
Cheers! :good:

maybe get a keyboard and use the port on the keyboard insead

[Q] my bricked micromax a88 phome

Recently, i rooted my micromax a88 (Ver. 4.1.1) through kingo tool and after that i installed chainfire app. But after the reboot, it is stuck on the starting logo and nothing seems to be working. It is only showing the Recovery mode and the Factory mode when i start it with the volume up and down and power button pressed. I even did the factory reset, cleared cache but it still shows the start up logo and does not do anything beyond that.
I even tried connecting it to pc using USB cable but its not detecting my device but earlier it was showing up. On connecting it through USB cable its only charging the phone. Someone please help as i have tried searching the internet for resolution but it just not seems to be working.

S3 won't boot up. Tried everything known to man.

Yesterday I glanced over to my Samsung Galaxy S3 to see the startup logo (as below) just stuck on my screen. The one that says "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300".
Here's as much useful info about my phone as I can think of:
I have never tried to root my phone, or do any other modding to it
I bought it second hand from a friend, who says they have not done anything of the sort either. I did a fresh install of what I think was Android 4.3 when I got it
I live in the UK and I think the phone is from the UK too, originally tied to a provider but is now unlocked.
I obviously attempted to reboot the phone. I held down the power button and after quite a few seconds the screen went black, then I let go and instantly the same startup logo reappeared. I tried again, without releasing the power button this time, same result.
I tried plugging in the charger, held down the power button, and it then went to a sort-of charging screen. There was a little grey icon on the battery, appearing as though it was not charging.
It wasn't showing the usual charging animation, rather a different one with a greyed battery icon. Holding down the power button on this screen performed the same as with the original logo screen, it just looped.
Here's what I then tried, in order:
removing the battery for 5, 10, 30 minutes. No luck.
leaving it at the startup screen for 30 minutes. No luck
gently tapping the side of the phone, in case the power button was stuck. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and CLEARING CACHE PARTITION. No luck.
entering RECOVERY MODE and WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. No luck.
downloaded Kies and connected phone to PC via USB. Kies recognised that the phone was connected but it would stick at the "connecting" screen. I tried multiple USB cables and multiple USB ports, both front and rear of PC. No luck.
I then downloaded Odin and attempted to 'flash' (not good with the terminology, excuse any mistakes I make) my phone using various firmwares I found on the internet. I tried the md5 file both in the PDA and PHONE boxes. I kept downloading "BTU" firmwares(?), read that's what I want somewhere. The file name is "I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_I9300XXUGMK6_HOME.tar.md5". However I kept encountering various errors, ranging from "there is no PIT partition", to "can't open the serial(com) port". Basically it would always fail.
I tried 5 different versions of Odin - 3.10, 3.9, 3.7, 3.04, 1.85. No luck, same errors.
I then tried uninstalling Kies, ending all processes related to it, and retrying Odin. Still no luck, getting the same serial(com) port error.
I then tried to use a "GT-9300.pit" file that I found online, in the PIT section of Odin. No luck
MY CURRENT SITUATION:
Having tried all of the above, my phone no longer enters recovery mode. When I boot my phone it goes to the following firmware upgrade error screen saying "Firmware upgrade encounteerd an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
It allows me to enter DOWNLOAD MODE, but not RECOVERY MODE. It loops in the same behaviour as previous screens. Even when on charge it shows this screen now.
I have tried my best to include everything I can so I can get more appropriate help. I do not have any experience with phones and I have tried everything I can by myself, hopefully someone here can help!
Long story,if you know what is Teamviewer i can help you. It would take long time to troubleshoot what you did wrong. Best thing would be to start from scratch.

Thank you so much for your offer to help!
I do know what Teamviewer is! I've used it for many years
I also have Skype and a webcam (for showing the phone), so that would be very useful too..
Ok,we don,t need Skype. It's not important for me to see the phone. I will tell you what to prepare,what to download so we can be fast and productive

Samsung S3 - help flashing back factory image

A while back I unsuccessfully tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S3.
The phone still worked OK, rebooted fine, etc., was using it for months.
Just recently though I decided to factory reset so I can give my phone to a family member, and this happened (see pics below ). Now it just hangs on T-Mobile screen and never boots at all.
http://imgur.com/gallery/0BWqcUA
Can anyone point me in the right direction to flash the default factory image back on there.
This is with T-Mobile in case that matters.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I located this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3
Also tried downloading this driver:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T999ZWATMB
The problem right now is neither ODIN nor ADB sees my device. I have the device in "Downloading" mode (boot power down key, home ,power button).
Also tried the up-volume boot and adb side load.
Uninstall all Samsung drivers, reboot, and install Samsung Kies. This will setup the drivers you need, then you can use Odin to restore. If this doesn't work, try different cables, ports, or another computer. Check in Device Manager to see which driver is loading and manually switch if needed.
PS. You're not going to be able to communicate with the phone via adb without it booted and USB Debugging enabled or with a custom recovery that you're booted into.

Lenovo vibe Z90-7 brick - stucking at initializing

Hello, after playing with my z90 (with the original rom that was Z90a40_USR_S118 international, bought in october 2015) I wanted to clean it up and make some updates. So I made my backups etc... Entered the recovery (not the green lenovo one wich is very limited) with hold vol - , I choosed to wipe (the phone was encrypted just to mention) all that I can and reset to factory, all was done but when it finished, it reboot and it stuck to initializing just after lenovo logo it reboot... initializing... and it s an inifinite loop. So I retryed to go to the maintenance recovery but it s not possible a black screen come and it reboot, I can go to the limited lenovo green recovery, but no factory reset, so I make the wipe datas etc... nothing... infinite reboot loop!
So I found some rom put them in the micro SD, go for an update.zip with the recovery, update work well but... initializing.... reboot...
Grrr, lenovo... So I take the big tools, installed a minimal win7 with qualcom drivers, lenovo ones, qpst. I tried many manipulation to enter the download mode with port com (I finaly managed multiple times with not the exact manipulation it s vol- + power + 10s and multiple spanning of the vol - button....) And I have succefully flashed multiple roms with qfil but with always the same results... initializing, reboot... I don t know where to search now, I someone can help me to find where to go, perhaps reflashing the recovery or I saw the .qnc in a russian forum but I can t understand one word.... 2 days of flashing make me hate my lenovo, my first brick with a phone . Any help?
Thanks,
sorry for my bad english

Hi,
here is my solution if can help.
I had on my vibe shot s208 rooted ROW. It stacked after SU update in boot loop.
1. I did wipe data without formatting from recovery mode (Vol+ and Vol- and Power button. When Logo is on release power button and hold Vol+ and Vol - until you are in recovery mode). STILL boot loop.
2. I did wipe data with formatting from the same menu. - STILL boot loop.
3. I did factory reset from recovery menu (Vol - and Power after logo is on release Power and hold Vol - until you get recovery mode) - STILL boot loop.
Then I did next:
1. I downloaded and installed QFIL (QPST_2.7.422) - I am not allowed to post links yet.
2. I have connected OTG adapter to phone. Phone was off.
3. then connected OTG to PC. It was some HDD activities but I did not hear any sound.
4. press Vol- for as long as something is going on - HDD activities. Then I think came up sound too - but not sure.
5. I had installed Qualcomm USB drivers from before I suppose.
6. Because I couldn't see my device as ...908 I disconnected and connected again usb cable... then I got my device as ...908 in device manager, but it was written "RECONNECTED" or similar in front of word "QUALCOM".
7. Then just follow instructions for QFIL. and ROM will be installed.
First I have installed INTERNATIONAL no root ROM. But because I needed phone to be rooted in order to use data recovery software I flashed again with s240 ROOTED. When I flashed second time I did not use OTG, just direct usb cable connection to PC, and my phone was again recognized after I reconnected usb cable and in device manger was "RECONNECTED" in front of word "QUALCOM".
Hello, thanks for replying. But I already tried all the roms with qfil, they were successfully installed as wtih miflash but I always got a initializing boot loop... Unfortunately I tried some other method, I successfully erase all partitions, I m now in 9006 mode with a long vibration on start and I cant do anything now No flashing works anymore... I ll try some stuff when I had a little time.
did you find a solution ?? , cause I have the same problem ... tried everything, adb or cwm recovery won't work cause my device is not rooted nor the usb debugging is on .. so am stuck with this "initializing loop".. flashing didn't solve it for me, I tried every ROM I could find, rooted or not .. nothing .... this problem happened with my phone after wiping user data and trying to restore QCN, cause before this problem I had another one with network services, tried to solve it, and here I am, from bad to worse
Hello,
I had the same problem. I tried with QFile and MiFlash but unfortunately without success. will you a track ?
I reinstalled the drivers QDLoader HS- USB Driver. I maintained volume + for 3 seconds , however, nothing happens ! (Before it worked ) I also tried adb reboot eld the prolème is the USBport phone is not known !
I followed the procedure of DejXDA carefully until the end staying press the VOL- the phone starts to recharging battery ... have you others sollutions ? thanks in advance.
Hey there !
Same problem for me... The solution may be to rebuild the partition table, but we need a working phone, and a backup with QPST.
Would anyone post a *.qcn file from his phone, made with QPST Software Download ? or a *.hex ?
And the user partitions ? Or a factory image (*.mbn) ?
Any gurus here, what would you advise for that problem ? Would using QPST properly work ?
Cheers !
Z90-7 (Z90a40) unbricked (at last...)
Hello!
After days and days of fails, my Z90-7 is unbricked!
How?
Just follow the OTG cable method, but copy in the SD card, in the sdfuse folder, this image:

You can download it from russian forum*, freely.
*I'm not allowed to post links, but enter the exact reference (Z90a40_S209_150716_ROW.qsb) in Google search (don't accept the Google's proposition to correct it), the link is the first answer. Use Google trad as I did if you don't speak russian .

Need help installing firmware, accidentally deleted OS.

So after flashing xposed, my phone got stuck in a bootloop. After trying to fix via many different methods, none of them worked, so I decided to factory reset my phone. Well, idiot me somehow managed to delete the OS, and now I can't reinstall it. I have tried using Odin, but after clicking start it just says "FAIL!". I also cannot use Kies or Smart Switch because they both say "Unsupported device". I've used 2 different cables in all the USB ports, installed new drivers and turned off firewall and anti-virus, but it still won't connect. I'm stumped as to what else I can do. I should probably mention I'm using an SM-G925F.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Switch your Samsung Galaxy S6 completely.
Boot into Galaxy S6 download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S6 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of download mode. Now you can plug your phone to your computer. Download your official ROM for your phone, and flash it with Odin. Thats it.
