I didnt reflash galaxy tab, was probably installing some software from the market. Now the battery has died, i restarted it and it keeps restarting after the logo... help, i dont know any recovery options :S Kies has nothing
I'm having the same issue. It sounds like a fastboot -w is required to wipe out userdata and cache.
Unfortunately I can't seem to get my PC to recognize my tablet in fastboot mode. I might have to send my tablet back to Samsung to get reflashed.

That has happened to me when I was having battery issues. I was able to keep connecting and disconnecting the charger cable until I got my tab to work again.
yeah might be that as well, i noticed strange behavior for last weeks, suddenly it started draining battery very fast or shutting down in the middle of the battery. running very slow and freezing.
when connected to pc it always goes: connect/disconnect/connect/... (hearing windows sounds for that)
i fully charged that yesterday, will try to boot today.
HOWEVER i was able to get into recovery menu, wipe/delete cache, sdcard, factory reset, etc.
might be that firmware/rom/bootstrap has been fuked up when battery died suddenly?
sharing experience
Hi guys
I didn't install new apps, no updates, no battery weak problem, no connect/disconnect problem, had DiP7's 2.3.3 rom since 10th July, very stable & solid. Not a single problem.
But my SGT GSM suddenly reboot-loop. I was just reading emails, reviewing photos.
Solutions: -
Enter recovery mode, Wipe date/Factory reset without wiping dalvik/battery stats etc. It just works and could run Titanium Backup to restore if I needed.
But ............................. Alternatives??? (New Life???): -
Tried HC_RC1, was good, but not daily driver yet, finally jumped to BOCA's 2.3.7, still playing around.
You may need to open up your tab and do the battery disconnect procedure. I finally had enough with my tab and opened it up. So far I am happy again.
i have some issue to
anyone can resolve it?
always reboot , and if i want to open keyboard, it restarting again
Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work for me...I experienced same problem you mentioned below except I had gone on vacation and my tab battery died and when I was able to recharge it, it just recycles through the Samsung logo!
Tried all the suggestions on this site and no luck so far...I'm guessing it might be time to take it in to Tmobile and see what they have to say, probably not much!
I'm not ever going to get a Samsung tablet again...Asus from here on out!!!

if its gsm go to overcome restocking method
Just go into recovery mode by holding volume down+power button.
Wipe everything then do a hard reset in recover screen.
If not do this.
Go here and download gbsafe_v5. Zip. It has everything you need including drivers and odin files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384
Also download overcome-kernel_4. 0.tar file as well.
Once you downloaded these two files plug in your tab to usb and wait for that phone and pc screen or download mode screen.
Go here and follow steps up to 10.

Your phone is now stock'ish GB with OC'ed kernel including custom clockwork recovery. This version also comes with phone capabilities unlocked so you can use it like a real phone. All you have to do is load tmobile. Modem file. If not then use as wifi only.

It's been few days since ur post. But I'll give it a shot for trying to suggest.
Try holding power button for 8 seconds to properly power off. Then charge it for a good hour before starting the unit.
Else just keep charging it. Standard times are 4 hours to get zero to 100%.
Once my power used till zero and no response what so ever even after charge 5 mins. Finally let it charge 1 good hour & it came back to life.
Good luck.

pull the battery for three minutes, put it back in, then try booting while pressing the menu button the whole time during boot(until its fully booted).
Thank you for your quick response , He just tried it and nothing...
any other suggestion?

maybe reupdate the stock rom, or try a different battery.
Could be an internal SD card problem (it does not mount). Try to remove battery and boot, do it ~20 times, if it's SD card issue you will get booted at least once.
Hi, i'm an original iphone user, got bored of it my planned ran out and I chose the Samsung galaxy S4.. So forgive me if i'm a bit of a 'noob'
I just received the phone Friday afternoon everythings all good. Starting to love the S4 but when I lock the phone (press the side button, don't use it anymore) after about 5-10 seconds it just keeps restarting.. It will restart and if I don't put my sim pin in, it will restart again (within 2 min).
Same if I'm on a call about 2 minutes in it will restart and do the same process.
things i've tried.
>taken the battery out, restarted again.
> did a bit of googling and did that restore to factory settings thing (turned off hold power, volume and home button)
I've rang my service provider and told them about it only option is to send it back. Is there anything I can do from home to resolve the issue, cbf being without a phone.
cheers in advance
Have you checked for update ?

yeah mate yeeeup seems all up to date
Try updating it to a new version the Odin way. Haven't heard of this issue before but it could be a buggy old firmware.

Any recent application installs which might have caused this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
if i remember correctly the last thing i installed is quadrant benchmark
is it possible that something on the root/data/app got missing or uninstalled?
this is the first time i encountered this problem. , havent seen it before in devices that ive handled
It sounds a little like the cache is corrupted (can happen if it doesnt shut down cleanly).
I had similar behaviour on my galaxy note.
The first time I did a factory reset and that fixed it (remember this wipes all data).
The second time I tried formatting the cache partition first and that fixed it.
When I did those I was using CWM recovery. I cant recall the stock recovery options.
If all is the same between phone versions, to enter recovery you hold down home-power-volume_up til it boots.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
from other posts from orher devices i have read they say its cache but the problem is when i turn it on it doesnt even boot the iniitial logo (samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9505)
it doesnt show up anything. . . screen doesnt lit up so also a problem how do i go now to recovery if the screen doesnt even turn on (the phone vibrates as a respond but the LED and the Screen doesnt lit up)
i know how to enter recovery mode. . . thats the only problem (softbricked)? this phone was bought on the official day of release
I'm having the same problem... Did you find a solution?
Anyone Solve this?
Getting quite anxious about not being power it on
Alex

having the same problem too
1. you still CAN go to the download mode even if screen is off (I flashed full stock but this did not resolve a problem)
2. I was able to turn on my phone after many attempts: (press power, after vibration release) - I did it about 30-50(maybe more) times and my phone boots up. But after rebooting it again doesnt turn on (again many attempts helps me).
3. I have observed - in my phone vibration turns on after 6s after power button is pressed, in a correctly working one - after 4s.
(sorry for my english)
Was anyone able to resolve this?
same problem here too !! but seem to have found a solution
My galaxy s4 was acting all weird one day, randomly it switched off and wont turn on but keeps on vibrating it was only 3months old I thought it had some serious hardware issues because I tried all the means to resetthe phone but nothing gave me a solution even tried another battery no effect it wont turn on even if it did turn on it would randomly shut itself up within notmorethan 15min I stay in india where i9505 is not sold so Samsung officials would not take my phone for service as they feel its different from i9500 in all means I got fed up and brought myself a new phone a 5s .
A few days before I badly wanted my galaxy so sat whole day searching the internet for fixes couldnt find one . I got angry and smashed the phone hard on the table .to my surprise it gurned on (was connected to the charger ) turns out some phones have a problem with there power button and mine was one of them
I didnt get my button fixed yet but after turning on not using the power button helps . Have been working for 4 days in a row now no problem what so ever . But if I lock my phone using the power button then it tends to get the same problem again ! So guys get your power button checked
Try to fix the button with WD40, worked for me.

Hello,
Maybe someone can help..
Samsung s4 i337 32Gb will only show the Samsung logo when turned on and after about 2 seconds nothing, screen blank , ( New Screen ) No lights , though it vibrates when its first turned on,
For what ever reason if I keep messing with it( take batter in and out) , it will boot all the way, Even then after a short time it turns off again, and that's only after a few days of messing with it..
Any ideas ?
on s side note I am a retired computer /electronic engineer and have an idea how these work, I repair them on the side for clients and so forth, but am at a lose with this one, Its my personal and would love to be able to get pics and so forth off it,,
Thank you !!
Is the phone running a stock Samsung rom? Have you tried reflashing a stock rom or performing a factory wipe?

yes it's stock and No have not re flashed the rom , wont stay on long enough for a rom flash or a system wipe..
Maybe a battery problem? This happens regardless of whether the phone is or is not connected to a power source?

The same thing happened to my i337 after I installed one app (soft keys) and reboot. Samsung logo showed up for a second and then went dark.
Went to recovery and wipe /factory reset twice did not work.
Finally, went to download mode and odin the NB1 firmware. That solved the problem.
I was on OK2 bootloader then. I do not know what bootloader you are on.

problem is , it wont stay on long enough in down loader mode, Plus I do have things I would like to save if I can.,
I just may have to try and find another 32Gb main board or a broken screen phone type thing and start over..
If it wont stay on, I'm not how the data could be pulled from the phone. If USB debugging was enabled, adb commands may be useful in recovery mode.

I may end up losing the data, So be it..
Would have been nice to figure out what is going on with this one though..
If anyone knows where I can get a i337 32Gb main board, I maybe interested in it..
