Hi!
Galaxy tab 6800. There was rooted stock firmware.
Someday somehow it become not responding, and I pressed power button for some seconds. Unexpectedly, instead of just rebooting, the Tab went into some downloading mode (quite the same as ODIN mode, except that I had a word "Factory" instead of "Odin"). In this state I can only do the following:
1. Hold Power = Factory mode
2. Hold Power+Volume Up = Factory mode
3. Hold Power+Volume Down = Flash OS invite screen, then Volume Up = Odin mode, or Volume Down = Factory mode
__NO Power off, NO Recovery__
So several times I flashed FW's with ODiN both rooted and stock (stock based, not to touch the counter). Everytime right after flashing, Tab normally booted into Android, so I could get to Recovery menu, and I've made all the available format/wipe procedures, flashed again, but every time I tried to power off the Tab, I got rebooted into this odd Factory mode.
Once I have read that one drained his battery and got out of this dead loop. But that was not my case. Firstly it worked, but after I once got working power off and recovery it again rebooted instead of shutting down...
Please, HELP!

If you can get into flashing a stock rom,( without installing CWM ) then get into the recovery of ODIN , and wipe data/factory reset from there, probably you have data corruption.

Just wanted to make sure you meant ODIN recovery & not CWM recovery.
Update. After a couple of days the problem still persists. But for some reason (surely, I flashed and formatted the tab several times during this issue) it became possible to switch to recovery mode after some attempts, though it wasn't yesterday. So I don't need to drain the battery or to connect to PC in order to just power-cycle the device. I can say that it's usable now

I think I may have bricked my phone. I have a Verizon Note 3 - rooted - running Kit Kat with Safe Strap. In the power menu (accessed when I hold the power button down) I accidentally selected boot into recovery mode. Now my phone is stuck in an endless boot loop. It powers on to the 'Note 3 - Custom' screen with blue text at the top that says "Booting recovery..." then it shuts down and starts over again and refuses to actually boot into recovery mode. I've tried taking out the battery and sim card, with no luck... the same result. Can anyone think of a way to troubleshoot given that I cant even get the phone to boot at all? Thank you.

It doesn't sound like your phone is bricked... it just sounds like you're stuck in a bootloop, which is usually fixable.
Try removing the battery again and leaving it out about 10 mins... also press down the power button on the phone for 10 seconds or so with the battery out to discharge any remaining power still in the device. Put battery back in after a bit and see if you can boot into stock recovery (by pressing volume up+home button+power button all at same time). If it lets you boot into stock recovery, see if just wiping the cache allows it to boot back up. If that doesn't work, pull battery... reinsert... boot back into stock recovery and do a factory reset (that will wipe all your data as I'm sure you know, so that's why I thought wiping cache first may be worth a try--even though wiping cache alone probably won't work). Hopefully, you have made a TWRP backup in safestrap that you can use to restore if you have to factory reset.
If you can't get into stock recovery manually.... or if you can and wiping cache or factory reset doesn't work, then you could boot into Odin mode (by pressing volume down+home button+power button all at same time), and restore the phone back to KitKat 4.4.2 with Odin. Droidstyle has put together a great guide to help restore the phone which you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46461911
I hope this helps you get it fixed. Good luck!
I was reading through older forum posts and came across this thread which may help with some other ideas if you couldn't get into stock recovery to fix it with a wipe.... ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56087194 ).
A couple of the suggested fixes in the thread may be easier than using Odin to go back to stock.
So my phone is bootlooping whenever my battery is attached. I can't go into recovery mode nor download mode. I try to push the combo buttons and the yellow triangle comes up. But when I push the vol up button it didn't load to download mode and keep rebooting. Help?
This happened after i flashed the new 5.0.1 Lollipop OS and try to put CWM recovery.

If you have the same symptons then it's your powerbutton.
I tried to upgrade to the latest version via Keis on my rooted S5. After it said it was successful, it rebooted and now it freezes on the verizon screen when it loads and goes no further. I tried to reset the phone by using Odin 3.09 and the original stock kernal G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 but it will just stay at the "samsung unlocked" screen, reboot, then goes into recovery mode. I have done a factory reset on it and re-tried the upgrade with no luck. It will only boot into the recovery mode automatically (I don't have to press anything, it just goes strait to it when it boots). Any advice?
Thank you,

I was able to finally get it working by following the directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
I did try your way but it still gave me the same error. I think something got f'd up on the partitioning? I'm not sure, but i loaded it into Odin and it kept on failing. Only after I re-partitioned it, it finally came back. Thank you though for your help.

Glad it worked out and thanks for telling how you solved it.
Hello guys, been a while, but I got myself into trouble. For a while I had rooted the phone but one time I rebooted and it supposedly no longer had root. Today I got a notification that magisk updated, so I decided to try it. I booted into recovery and tried to flash. Nothing happened. I tried wiping davlik cache and tried again. What ended up happening instead was that the phone was unresponsive. I attempted to reboot, but instead I got stuck in a bootloop.
I realize the most effective way to get out of it is to flash the firmware via Odin, but since I didn't make a backup I want to avoid that if possible. The problem is that other than the soft reboot (power + volume down) I cannot power off the phone to access recovery mode! I've searched and searched, but have only found ways to soft reset, which doesn't help me access recovery mode.
Is there a way to power off the phone while stuck in a bootloop? Or, alternatively, is there a way to boot into recovery while in a bootloop?
It's so frustrating to not be able to something as simple as a battery pull since the phone is sealed. Is there a way to replicate that to be able to power it off?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Hold Vol down and power for soft reboot. As soon as the screen goes off to reboot quickly switch to recovery combo (bixby + up + power) it should boot to recovery

What if Vol down and power don't work, adb, fastboot and device manager don't see it, any other combinations tried too, wait for full discharge don't option. Help plz
Did you manage to get out of this?
Im really scared i bricked my phone now. Everything was working fine but after i did a normal reboot it suddenly would not start up.
Screen is black and the only way i can get a response from the phone is the soft restart (vol down + power).
I need to get into recovery somehow so i can restore my nandroid backup but vol up + bixby + power doesnt work (i assume the phone is on and frozen or something?)
I managed to fix my phone. After leaving it for 24 hours the battery was fully drained. After charging again i could boot to twrp and restore my nandroid backup.
I deleted all the things system partition, cache and all, the 3 data clearing options in the lineageOs recovery mode. And now with no OS, and nothing the interface is stuck at download mode, nothing happens.
Tried applying TWRP Recovery with odin, displays Pass, but can't be opened.
Tried passing auto-root writes Success, but nothing. Stock-Rom was passed through Odin bit it tells Fail, I even tried two versions. By continously trying only black screen appears, then samsung logo, then charging image, then download mode.
Help please.
I was using lineageOS 19.0 android 12 before this massacre and tried to sideload GApps but it lead to this, as after first attempt Gapps didn't load, so in the second attempt, I tried to become oversmart.
What to do ?? Please explain ?? I am a Noobie....
Sorry for tagging few people I don't know much, I'm new here.
Try pressing and holding volume up, power and home screen. When something appears let go, it should load TWRP if installed correctly.
Thanks. I will try....
Volume up + power + home doesn't work.
After 20 secs of pressing volume down + power + home, black screen appears, then charging image appears after 1-2 minutes, but twrp doesn't open.
After multiple auto-root flashing, and after multiple stock rom flash, this image was displayed after every rom flash....

I would say twrp isn't installed then. You need to use Odin in the download mode.
Using odin i tried to flash 2 stock roms, but it tells failed, I should go to the samsung service center, maybe they will be able to help me...
No, they said it's not from this country so we can't do anything.
Can it be unbricked by flashing rom with replacing the recovery img. with another recovery img. , and then flashing with odin, if yes, then can you tell me step by step.
