[solved] Need help: Galaxy Tab shows cellphone - yellow excalamation mark - computer

Hello,
I couldn't boot my Galaxy Tab (european version) anymore, so I decided to flash it. Everything worked well, it rebooted but still got stuck at the same postition than before (Galaxy Logo). So I rebooted again, but now I have a white cellphone, a yellow exclamation mark and a computer symbol right upon turning it on. I can't get into download mode anymore. The only button combination that works it pressing volume-up and volume-down together with the power button. Then I get to a "POWER RESET or unknown download mode" screen. What can I do?? Please help.

Happens/happened to a lot of guys/galls. Me too...
In Odin i picked repartion and used the pit-file from Roto. Also used the JMI-build van Roto . So get the files here:

Its possible that after the succesfull flash you have to flash the baseband-modem. Flash the baseband in Odin- phone. You can find the latest here;

Thanks again. But now I am stuck at the "GalaxyTAB / Samsung" Boot screen. It stays there forever. I can't connect with adb or Kies, it is also not deteced (lsusb shows nothing). Any hints?

You say 'lsusbs' does not show?! Are the drivers installed? If not update the drivers., and try flashing again.

No, in Linux it does not show up when I type "lsusb", which means list all usb attached devices. As soon as I was able to flash with odin (in a windows vm) prior to that it showed up in the list of devices attached to my computer.
So, when it is not in flashing mode but stuck at the "GalaxyTab Samsung" bootscreen, it cannot be detected neither by Windows nor by Linux. So I can't access it with adb (Linux) or with Kies (Windows).
From my G1 I always could access with adb when it was stuck at the bootscreen.
I believe it could have something to do with a protection built in the bootloader. How can I replace the bootloader?

I am opening a new thread for this, since it is a different problem than the original question.

[Q] Soft Bricked My SGH-I337

I was running CyanogenMod 10.1 Loki'd and the clock widget locked up. I rebooted figuring that would fix it, but it it didn't. I decided to put the Slim Rom on it and went into TWRP. It locked up & I rebooted it and now I'm at the dreaded "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." Kies says device not responding and won't connect. I then tried to reinstall the stock using Odin 3.07 and it errors out after it tries to write. The error says Complete (Write) Operation failed. All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1
Can someone please help? I've read & searched till I'm blue in the face.

Reboot from your stock nandroid backup and start over

It seems like my TWRP recovery is gone. It will only either go into Download mode or the triangle recovery failed mode. I haven't found anything I can do at this point.

Wipe data/Factory Reset in recovery mode (not in TWRP).
Then try ODIN again.

It won't go into recovery. This triangle recovery error screen seems to have taken over recovery. I've tried mucho times to get into recovery by holding power, volume up & home at the same time.

Maybe you can try Adam's Casual tool (in Development section) to see if it will work. It is supposed to "one click" CWM or TWRP onto your phone. If it works, you will have recovery to flash another ROM to get you back going. It might be worth a try anyway.

This is beyond my knowledge.
Since you did everything already (via KIES, ODIN and Recovery).
Sorry and hopefully someone can guide you to right direction.

Thank Scott. I'll give it a whirl.

That was a no go. It didn't see my phone just like Kies. I wonder why Odin has the error I put in my OP.

It sounds like you have a driver issue. Has your PC recognized your phone before this?
Also, see if you can get your hands on an earlier version of ODIN (1.87 Maybe or another) and give it a try. At this point I don't think you have much to lose.

Oh yes. It's never not connected. It's doing the same here on my laptop. The phone's drives don't even show in Explorer since this has happened.
The phone won't stay turned off in this state unless I take the battery out.

I'm calling it a night. Maybe the day crew can help me out on up this morning. I sure hope so.

Did you try to push the "volume up" key after the phone displayed the triangle? Once the phone shows the triangle and you have let go of all of the buttons, try to push the volume up button again and see if anything happens.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried the volume up & it did nothing after the triangle screen came and I released all three buttons. So I then tried the volume down button and still had no result.

Fixed - Got Damn Lucky
I reckon the stock rom I had and was trying to install with Odin was evidently corrupt. I re-downloaded it and Odin installed it flawlessly.
Thank God!!!! I thought I'd ruined it for awhile.

Nice.

ODIN will error everytime if you have the worthless keis installed, remove keis, load the newest samsung att g4 drivers , and it will NOT error again. I setup a workstation at the house JUST FOR THE PHONES a year ago, smooth ever since. lets see, $200 for a computer, $600 for a paper weight, best move I ever made. Nothing loaded on that puter but win 7 and samsung drivers, and any prog I need to do whatever, NEVER has odin errored on me...ever.

Well, might be that. But I have KIES on my everyday PC, I can restore using KIES or ODIN without problem :good:

I didn't install Kies till Odin was failing. I downloaded the Rom from Samfirms; I think its called.

We need more info:
Which file dit you flash?
Dit you flash one file in PHONE?
or mulitple files, like PIT+BOOTLADER+PDA?
Also it is a good idea to check the MD5 before you flash to make shure the download is not corrupt.
Can you stil go into download mode? Volume Down + Power + Home
Can you go into recovery? Volume UP + Power + Home
Also you can retry with Odin3 v1.85.

Here is my suggestion, reboot the phone into recovery mode. (it's ok if its a stock recovery)
After going into recovery do a "factory reset" and see if the phone starts up normally.
There is at least a 50/50 chance that it will.
If it still does not boot then you need to go to SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com
and get the stock official ODIN flash firmware for your specific phone model.
I would have given you the exact download link for your specific phone if you would
have been more SPECIFIC and added the EXACT model of your phone in your post.

[Q] Galaxy S2 i9100 won't root

Hi,
I am trying to flash my S2 using Odin, and no matter what I try I always get the same result.
It doesn't work.
The phone will go in to the mod where I press the volume down button, home and power, but if I try to press up, home and power notkinh happens.
It all started a few days a go when it started getting stuck in a loop, just showing samsung mobile logo and it won't go further than that.
When I start Odin, it recognises the device, starts normally, and then it says Complete(Write) operation failed.
I've attached a screenshot, please help if you can.
thank you in advance

and if I try adding a pit file this is what happens (see attachement), but then it lasts for ages, I am not even sure anything is happening.

SAMSUNG S5 [SM-G906S] - BOOTLOOP/No RECOVERY

Hey Guys I'm new to this forum and apologies if this has been covered and would be grateful if someone to point me to the right direction. Link-drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiSkF3VWN0UmpFSHc/view?usp=sharing
So just briefly the problem at hand : I did an update to 6.0.1 and after this update my fone screen motion sensor stop working, didnt switch when i turn the fone side ways and also the games with motion requirement didnt work. So just recently there was an heartstone(Blizzard game update) I did the update the fone was working fine till i manually did a restart, thats when my s5 g906s went into bootloop. with a little distortion on the bottom right hand corner. Link-drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiSkF3VWN0UmpFSHc/view?usp=sharing
1.)I've already tried to restore it with kies3 manually added the S/N and IMEI it completes but same bootloop with a little distortion on the bottom right hand corner.
2.)I tried to go into recovery mode by pressing Power+Home+Volume Up but it wont enter that mode.
3.)I tried to Use Odin with the fone variant with full AP,BL,CP,CSC and pit ODIN loads all files and give me a PASS message but after this when the fone restarts it tries to go into recovering mode(top lefthand in blue) but it just turns off with a vibrate. Link - drive.google.com/file/d/0BwqxONwTQDjiVHV2RGxrSVRRNU0/view?usp=sharing
4.) So i though the recovery is faulty so i tried to flash a recovery unofficial_philz_touch_6.48.4-g906s_hsk.tar but i get this error
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
After this i read some threads saying I need root so i tried to flash from autoroot_chainfire_eu but same <ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth) error.
Now im just stuck, what am i doing wrong? Please if someone can help me out a little would mean a great deal, thanks.
