Hi, i got a problem with my 10:1 tab. Today i tried to install honeycomb rom using clockworkmod recovery and after the installation and rooting my tab there was a question should flash boot be fixed because the new one will replace other without going back so new flash and root from honeycomb could take it place and i said no to fixing it, second after my tab went off black and it not reacting to anything including trying to power on and get into recovery mode and i tried to push all the buttons and nothing works. Odin doesnt recognize the tab and if i plug it to charger or pc there is no response. The only thing i realized is i heard a plug in usb sound when i connect tab to pc and try to pull the power on button for like 5 seconds i hear plug in and second later plug out usb sound. What can i do to make it works again? I cannot give it to guaranty and all i can do is by myself
Send it to Samsung for a repair.
i cant, i have no guarantee all i can do is by myself, what can i do?
Did you try to hold power button a little longer ? Like 10 or 30sec. This works for some devices

Pull back cover off (use google to figure out how to do so), unplug battery for a few seconds. Plug battery back in. Press and hold power + vol down to try to get into ODIN.
There is no honeycomb rom for these tabs. What did you try to install? Link me.
Holding power button gives nothing, i tried ever combination for a couple minutes and not working. I tried to remove battery yesterday but it was connected via cables and there was no way to remove it without cutting out cables as far as i seen, if anyone can know how i can remove battery then let mw know because i can't find anything ever the internet. I downloaded HoneyVillain_1.2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138115. I tried to plug tab to charger today but after 10 hours it didn't worked at all, still got black screen with no reaction to buttons ;/
Hello
bad news - I killed my P5100 2 months ago and I can't repair it. I have same problem - I can hear plug on / plug off sound in Windows. But i have installed drivers and found that this is OMAP4430 device was connected/disconnected each time. And I can't do anything with my Tab.
I have took my Tab to official Samsung service and I've received answer that it is not repairable - only full replacement of internal board possible, and it costs 300$.
And I have tried to unofficial services and they tells me what my problem. Bootloader was corrupted and device can't start. So it is impossible to repair bootloader because it is protected in Galaxy Tab 2 and they proposed me to replace internal flash memory chip.
So I have dead Tab and wait for ability to programmatically repair my Tab
You can see my thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908949, maybe it will be helpful for you

I honestly believe that the Rom you downloaded is for the acer ionica!
See xda has created separate forums for each phone because you can't use one phones rom for another! Yet you flashed that!
There s nothing you can do other than sending your phone for repair!

No. Its a paper weight now and you could have prevented this by reading.
If you can't get it into Download Mode, then the only options are to send it to Samsung to fix it, or find some loose papers.
Hey guys, thanks for the answers so far I would like to know if every type of tablet brick can be unbricked? I mean if there is no brick that couldn't be unbricked by using cables and garage methods

I don't know how much support you'll get to follow this method but if nothing else will work it's worth a try.
As far as this tablet being unbrickable, that's only true if you don't intentionally flash something that was made for a completely different tablet...

Well that's the point, I flashed with rom made for different tablet and it's dead now My question was if any brick could be repaired if i'll give it to someone with all the right tools to resurrect it, or there are certain bricks that can't be repaired no matter what tools and skills the person who attempt it have?

Check my post again for the link as that's the only method that shows up on Google search for this tab.
does odin recognize your tablet?
Is it a tab 2. In your op it just said tab 10:1. Not tab 2. Just making sure as this is the tab 2
sent from MY BAD A$$ ET4G
I might be able to help u
Alright i had the problem recently and heres what i did to fix it If you can get into download mode ur all good from there. To get into download mode hold the power button and up on the volume rocker, if u get a message saying flashing roms is dangerous blah blah blah then press down on the volume rocker to enter download mode. Odin will recognize it if its in download mode, also what model is ur galaxy tab? Also if its a 10 inch model GT5113 i have the stock rom file for it so i could send it to u
Some helpful Info
Maybe you should have said yes? because after all you can't be too carefull , maybe there was something wrong with the rom. If the system asks you if you want to fix ALWAYS say YES. You should have said yes. Why did you say no ?! all right now to the fixing part. PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN ROOTING BUT I'LL GIVE IT A GO. I think that if you can, then power it up and press the VOLUME UP key while holding the power button. From the menu choose recovery and factory reset your device. If it's possible reset rom to default. It should work if not then Post a reply saying not and I'll see what else can be found. Hold on tight for now!There is a Optional thing you can do if the above doesn't work: that is, if possible, you can un-root your tablet with an app from the market. If all of the above is impossible to do, and you cant even power your tab on, it's as useful as a brick, a black screen. Then I'm afraid it's a hard brick fopr you, boyo.

Sorry for my previous post, didn't read the whole forum! Stupid me! ok now there are only two types of brick. Soft brick and hard brick. Soft brick can be fixed, Hard brick - Not quite. And as you said, you flashed a rom for a different tab, maybe thats a compatibility issue. If you want a new os, honeycomb to be exact. You can always upgrade, just search 'honeycomb upgrade'.

Any recent application installs which might have caused this?

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

Was anyone able to solve this? I'm experiencing the same problem. I can switch it on after removing the battery for a long time, but I can't seem to be able to get to recovery, or reboot proprely. Please help... thanks!

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.

Hi guys,
I did a research regarding my problem, found a couple of threads but none of them helped and I noticed my situation is a bit different from most users having this problem.
I live in Brazil, went on a trip to USA for 15 days, kept my SIM card and SD into the phone, just used it to access WiFi, watch videos, make a couple of Viber calls, send messages via WhatsApp, etc. Everything was fine, no problem at all.
Today, when I landed in Brazil, I turned on the phone, entered my pattern and since then my phone just displays that initial screen "Samsung Galaxy S4" and keeps rebooting like crazy. In these last 15 days, I didn't make a single change on the phone. Absolutely nothing. It just decided not to work anymore
My phone is not rooted, runs the latest updates.
I tried initializing in safe mode (power+home+volume up), it shows the android green robot at a glance and then reboots again. I can't even read what is written on the screen, so fast the reboot takes place. I also tried pressing the menu button repeatedly, but no luck as well. Tried removing the battery, turning on without SIM & SD, nothing. When I connect it to a power source, the red led doesn't even light. My computer doesn't recognize it either.
Any suggestions on what to do? Returning it to the shop is not an option as well, cause I bought it out of Brazil...
Thanks a lot, colleagues!

You could try this take the battery out for at least 12 hours , I read somewhere that can work for your kind of problem
I had this with Note 2.
No other option but to factory reset and flash official samsung firmware from sammobile.com
After that we were back to normal. Try that.
sounds not that bad..
try booting on download mode then flash some official firmware from sammobile.com
NOTE: don't flash XXUMH8 or any MH firmware for it contains new bootloaders with the samsung KNOX crap.
I really wish I could solve that without having to install everything again... but anyway
I'm sorry for this newbie question, but how can I flash a new firmware if my computer doesn't recognize my phone?
And what software do I need in order to do that?
Thanks a lot!
Just one more question...
if I really have to install a firmware, isn't it better to flash one from another country?
It seems like Brazil is always one of the latest to get the updates
Which country would you recommend?
Thanks a lot again, colleagues.

I'm totally sure it is genuine.
I mean, I can go to download mode.
When I press power+home+volume down, it works.
But when I click volume up in order to continue to download mode, the phone reboots.
It can't stay stable for more than 3 seconds, let's say.

Ok, but in order to perform a hard reset, I need to press power+home+volume up at the same time, right?
That doesn't work either.
When the small green android robot is shown, the phone immediately reboots. I can't even read if there's something written, so fast it reboots.
Are there any options left or just sending to Samsung?

Hi all,
I've received my S7 Edge today(Exynos), yay.
All was working flawlessly until few moments ago, I was running 3Dmark, and before I even start to bench, while i was downloading the first scene The screen goes all black, then after 10 seconds, there's a message on top (in the same way a rooted phone would display "kernel is not seandroid enforced..."):
Bootloader Exception
[RST_START = 0x100000000 ]
[...]
Exception: do_handler_serror: SERROR(esr: 0xbf00000000)
[...]
I didn't install any rom, root or else, it's pure stock untouched. I tried to reboot phone using volume down+power, it reboots I think (screen goes all black) but quickly the same message appears...
I'm surely going to call phone operator to tell them that phone is KO, but if one of you guys has any idea that would avoid me to send back phone to warranty, it would be nice
Thanks !
@mods : Sorry for posting in wrong section

I'd suggest a factory reset if the above fails.
Hold Power + Volume Up + Menu
Then use the volume keys to scroll to factory reset and select using menu or power buttons.
Hi guys,
Thanks very much for you answers,
Unfortunately any key combination is not working can't get into recovery nor download mode ...
I don't want to try Odin, scared about potential warranty issues ... but it kills me to have to send the phone back to sammy and wait ..

The phone must be off for the Volume Up + Power + Home button combination to work. Keep those pressed for like 10 seconds, even after the phone powers on. I just tried it on my S7 Edge (which drops every call) and could restore to factory settings (but didn't solve the issue).

Unfortunately, even with this combination and a lot of patience I cannot manage to "bypass" this Bootloader error ...

Yep, I wanted to avoid it, but I don't see other reasonnable option. The phone didn't last more than 24h ... ok, it happens, I know ...
My previous (Still actual (sic)) Phone was a Note 3 and I installed so much roms, soft bricked the device so many times, but I could always restore it ... But not the S7 EDGE ... And I didn't spot any other user with same bootloader issue...
I've just sent back the phone for replacement, Thanks for all who replied to me in this thread
Oh and by the way : don't download 3DMark from play store , it will Hard brick your phone !!! (haha just kidding , i know it's not what caused my phone to die, I'm sure of it , however I won't try to install it anymore i think^^ )

Sorry to hear that bro
Try things to troubleshoot if you wanna, but my advice : don't lose one day of trying to fix it, send it back directly to warranty...
I tried lot of things, key combination to reboot phone in recovery or download, I tried Kies, Odin, ADB....
I believe it's a real samsung bug that will happen to many people, So send it now before sammy is drowned under hard bricked S7 phones and start to have issues to provide replacement devices....
the S7 edge is getting a "urgent" update on approx 3mb..maybe this is a fix of some sort.

That is to correct the Screen Edge sensitivity
For anyone else who runs into this issue, I managed to fix my phone.
Holding the power and VOL down buttons for about 5-10 seconds will reboot the phone; if you hold home at the same time you can get into download mode (might take a couple tries).
From there, you can flash a new bootloader (BL option in odin) and then get back into recovery to do whatever you need to do.
Went from soft-brick to full restore in about ten minutes--not even a factory reset necessary.
Hope this helps!
hi guys, just been handed this s7 edge and it wont boot properly.

it was passed to me this way, stuck on splash screen.but apparently it was flashed with a stock firmeware and this is the result, stuck on splash screen. the rest i found by trying to put it into download mode to try and revive it.
will ask tomorrow what file they flashed.
what model of edge is it.
judging from bootloader problem, they may have flashed the wrong software on it.
hmm strange one, i got up this morning and nothing on the display, entered download mode and flashed no plroblem, phone revived lol

Well, dammit. That's good news for you, but I was hoping for some de-bricking (unbricking?) method to be discovered and laid out here in gory detail. Cause I'm weird like that. I haven't bricked my phone, and don't plan to, but I always like reading about other people bricking and fixing their phones, in case it happens to me.

Did you ever end up unbricking your S7? I am having the same problem that is outlined in this thread and cant figure a way out of it. Please help me if you can.
same problem here . any ideas ???
Wipe the data/partition cache if you can boot into recovery mode.
Or try to hold Power + VOL D -- wait 10 seconds until phone reboots, then let go of power button but keep holding VOL D-- see if you are in downloading mode.
