Ok I bought this tablet on 4/7/2014 then yesterday which was 4/8/2014 it bricked on me and it wont power on or charge i tried taking the battery out then replacing it that didnt work next i tried the volume combinations that didnt work either i ran fast boot via pc didnt even picked up the tablet my guess is that either the file structure or NAND went bad and i need to fix that so i can use it again if you know a way to get this tablet working then please tell me also i tried many android toolkits none worked im guessing i need to fix the NAND but dont know how if you can help i would really appreciate it oh btw i was running stock 4.4.2 and had an unlocked bootloader at the time its like my tablet is completely empty.
If you only had it one day is RMA an option? Otherwise your looking at a new motherboard. Does anything happen when you plug it into a PC any noise or connection? Usually corrupted nand will turn on but will bootloop and any attempt to flash will fail. You may be stuck in apx mode with a corrupted bootloader but either way it sounds like your up a creek.

hey guys is will need some help with this device im not kind of a noobie on this kind of things bcs i been working with several phones, like the veteran xperia10, galaxy ace, motoroi2, etc etc. but never with a tablet
here is what it happens a friend ask me if i can upgrade his sgt-p1010 to a newer version, honeycomb or maybe ics, i´ve read a lot of posts regarding this on how to upgrade it trough odin everything was fine until the reboot of the device, bcs by my mistake i flash a rom of the 7.7" tab and this one is a 7" only now the tab is not turning on, odin is not recognizing it, either samsung kies or the pc. buttons are not responding it wont charge and cant enter to download mode.
I REALLY NEED HELP FROM U GUYS, HOPE U CAN HELP ME
ps. srry for my english :laugh:
This kind of thing can result in the inability to boot which can only be repaired by the use of specific hardware, i.e. this could be a "hard brick". Then again, maybe it can be restored to working order by flashing it again (a "soft brick"). So the very first thing you need to know is, can it get to download mode?
Turn it off, if it's switched on, and charge it for a couple of hours,say four hours. Use the original charger connected to mains. It doesn't matter if it shows anything, or nothing on the screen, let it charge. This is to make sure flashing it won't fail because it doesn't hold a charge.
Now connect it to the PC with the original USB cable. Then after making sure it's switched off, switch it on by pressing the On/Off button, while simultaneously the Volume UP switch. Press them both at the same time, and keep them pressed! If you're lucky you'll get the yellow graphic with the download text. A phone symbol, an !, and a PC symbol is fine too. Even if it doesn't show anything, you may be in download mode, so install the right drivers, and hopefully Odin or Heimdall will recognise is, and will allow you to flash the right ROM.
well i already let it charge for all night long and nothing happens after i perfomed the flashing the screen was totally in black but it doesnt shoes anything i mean the tab was turned on, then apparently batterie dies and after that is not charging. already tried with the heimdall thing but it says that device is not connected.
I think that this is going to be a HARD BRICK
so do u thhink there is another way to solve it?????
or it will be necessary the JTAG stuff???? bcs i dont want to try that it seems that is very difficult to me bcs i dont know nothing about hardware jejejeje
You have installed the Heimdall driver? It's called zadig.exe. Then you have to go to download mode and connect the Tab to the PC with the USB cable. Then Heimdall hopefully will detect the Tab.
If there's no way software will revive the Tab, it's hard bricked and will need hardware to get it working again. There's this guy mobiletechvideos.com who will repair any kind of brick. Basically he uses the JTAG on the board of the Tab and a special box to flash the right ROM to the Tab, even when it's dead. Some here have tried the service, and they say he's quite reliable. Another way is to modify your Tab with Adam Outler's Unbrickable Mod. It's brilliant, you can't soft brick your Tab after that, but it involves soldering very small components on the board of the Tab. The mobiletechvideos guy can do it for you I believe.
Well, I guess you just got a hardbrick .
The only way to fix this problem is go to SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTER.

A few weeks ago my girlfriend rebooted my Neuxs 7 but it somehow got in a bootloop. I tried to fix this but i managed to shred the bootloader i guess because now it won't turn on at all.
I've tried to boot it into fastboot, but that won't work, so i'm pretty sure that the bootloader is broken.
When i plug it in to my computer and hold in the powerbutton it shows up as a apx device, which i guess is a good thing in this situation (meaning i havn't completely broken the device).
I'm not very skilled with these kind of situations and really need help from you guys.
I've read about apx drivers and if i understand the situation correctly i could somehow install a new bootloader this way?
Could anyone help me step by step restoring my precious Nexus?
I could send it to service, but i don't think i have any warrenty left on it since i bought it almost 2 years ago. I also suspect it would cost me a lot of money if i send it to service.
Please give me happy answers
Pretty sure you needed to make a backup of your device first to flash back with apx mode as this is device specific
Same problem here.
From what I read the only way to restore your N7 in APX mode is if you had a backup(again from apx mode).But now the device doesn't have(or its broken somehow) a bootloader anymore so we can't do it.
If you still have warranty return it,if you don't buy a new motherboard(40-60$ on ebay depending on the storage) and change it your self.There is plenty of tutorials on the web how to do it.
Good luck.
I believe I have the same issue. Nothing on screen, does not come up on computer but shows as APX. Does back up have to be from our device or can a backup be made by someone and we restore from that copy?
To the best of my understanding it is device specific so for those who want to be safe make a backup now as you can't use someone elses

Okay, well that sucks! Guess i'll have to order a new motherboard then.
I changed a cracked screen on a Nexus 4. I have done this before with no problems. It is not rooted and locked to a carrier. Now it is stuck in bootloop.
Now the real problem is that even though the phone will take a charge, when I connect it to a PC it the PV doesnt see the phone and it doesn't show up in file folders or in Nexus Toolkit.
So I cannot access ADB either since the PC doesn't see the device and same with Nexus Toolkit.
I can boot into recovery mode but it goes to Android man on back with red flag and "No Command Found" message.
I have spent a week on this. Who out there knows what the hell I can do. I have thought about swapping out the charger port to see if thats why the pc isnt seeing the phone...I am stumped. Help would be very appreciated folks.
Thanks

What happened to this? I have the same damn issue. Although I managed to get fastboot and adb functionality with great difficulty. But the device doesn't seem to be able to boot into anything. I've tried every single thing software by the book, and by the forums too. I suspect it might be hardware.
Any luck?
Hi does anyone know if there is a method to boot an apparently bricked Note 4 from the SD card? I see that this option is available for a few other Samsung phones but i cant seem to find a method for this searching the forum or google.
Background, i have a N910T that upon a reboot it would not boot up again. It just sits there with a black screen. I am not sure if something with the internal flash is corrupt. I am hoping to be able to boot to download mode from the SD card so i can attempt to fully reflash a stock rom image though odin and get this working again.
I have also tried a USB Jig that i had hoping i could kick this thing into download mode but no such luck.
Thanks!
So you can't get to download mode using the "power-home-volume down button combo?
Did you get things working?
It's almost impossible to bricked a phone now days....there are too many methods out there to recover from that. Just put the device into recovery mode and Odin the software and that should get your note 4 out of bricked!

I actually looked for this last week for ~4 hours... and found that No, there's no way to do this when the phone is already bricked. There were some things you could do if you are able to get into the phone to prepare it for booting from an external sd card, but if you can't get in to it to prepare it, then there's no way to do it - at least I wasn't able to find one.
Why not Odin flash a stock rom? I haven't ran into a full brick actually thanks to Odin I thought it was impossible to have a bricked device
Down volume, home, power option is all you need for Odin are you saying you can't even do that?

Hopefully you pulled the battery!
It pretty hard to brick the Note 4...
Soft brick yeah, I've done mine several times..
Just make sure your battery is charged and rdy!
Good luck
Ok, so to start off I'm very familiar with Nexus Root Toolkit an its many graceful features & its ablity to bring the N7 from the brink of destruction (Soft -Brick) "AS LONG AS YOUR PC CAN DETECT THE DEVICE".
Here's the issue.. I was in TWRP (Multi-ROM) just renaming 1 of the Secondary ROMs to more friendly names, I hadn't done any flashing of any zips or roms for a few boots, I just booted into Recovery to do some renaming of Secondary ROMs that I had installed a few nights before but I had been in an out of several different one's just making sure they were all working so anyway.. after I was done renaming, I reboot the system & it just went F'ing blank.. now nothing.. there's no back light, no bootlogo, nothing happens at all when I plug in the charging or hold the power button with or w/out the vol-+ keys, I've checked the battery connection, it was snug but I removed it over night.. still nothing, I'm just clueless.. Before we jump on the NRT do a factory wipe & restore, when I plug it into Windows it instantly pops up with the "Device has Malfunctioned" not the "installing adb drivers" or anything like it has so many times before.. either Im over thinking this an the answer is so simple Im blinded by rage over how much this p1sses me off that it was working fine one moment an then just reboots to blank nothingness.. even if I take the battery out an try plugging it directing into the pc via the OEM usb cable it gives the same error with or w/o the battery in .. the toolkit cant even see it cause windows cant establish what the hell it is.. And yes I've tried installing every android driver possible.. the N7 was primarily for my wife to read e-books on.. so i rarely played with it.. an it was new sealed in the box just bought last year around this time so i can't believe the Flash Memory is shot already, if anyone could throw me their 2 cents it would be greatly appreciated , this is so frustrating but I think its BRICKED.. or at least some tiny flash chip is toast..
its the - N7 2012 Grouper WIFI Only model -
p.s. I apologize for the slight harsh tone, I'm just upset with this issue.. I got this particular tablet with the knowledge an understanding that it was the (almost) un-brickable tablet, yet I managed to do it.. If by some chance I get it to fire up, I will definitely let ya know.. But I have read alot of posts an my guess is somehow I managed to mess up the nvflash an now the memory chip or something is corrupt beyond a NRT Factory reset.. but again it was at almost full battery when i rebooted from within the TWRP Menus & I wasn't flashing anything previous to me being in my Main Rom which was stock rooted 4.4.4 de-bloated, playing a game called Empire 4 Kingdoms for like a 1/2 (just getting my daily's) before i decided to check out my Secondary Roms an rename a few because I wanted to started playing around with them to test how the same game played on different flavors or Android..

UPDATE STATUS - If I plug it into the pc without the battery i get a windows driver install box that says "Installing APX..." does this indicate the NVFlash is corrupt or is there a way to get out of apx mode.. im not familiar with that mode .. only ADB & fastboot..
Update 2 - After reading lots, I've come to conclude its hardbricked, must have had an error in memory or whatever.. its stuck in APX mode so im going to replace the whole MB with a working 32GB [model me370t] & start over .. maybe ill not install so many ROMS via multirom.. just a few - THREAD BE CLOSED - I'm done here, good luck to anyone with similar results
