[Q] Is my Tab done for? Is it fixable? Help!

I'm having the following problems with my TAB and would like to know it's fixable. I treid almost everything to fix it without success. I'm hoping someone can help me. Anyone have these problems before?
1. Doesn't charge normally. It would charge but charge really slow like it's connected via us. It shows an x next to the lightening icon when I charge it using the original charger and cable.
2. I cannot go into recovery mode. I get the black screen with the white line. There's also no boot animation when it boots up.
3. The camera doesn't work. I get a fail message when I open it.
4. My computer doesn't detect it in download mode, kies or mass storage. My computer detect my samsung galaxy s i9000 without any problems so I know it's not the computer. I cannot change the firmware because my computer doesnt detect it.
5. I dont have the receipt to do a warranty repair. What are my other option?
AT&T SGH-i987
Firmware 2.2
Baseband P1000XXJHA
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #19
Build XXJMA
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
Did you register your Tab with Samsung?
If so, they have a record of your purchase and will be able to provide support.
If not, then try this which I got from their online chat: Hope it helps.
"Kyle: To recover the device via the hardware keys, do the following:
Kyle: 1. Power off the handset.
Kyle: 2. Hold the Vol Down Key + Vol Up Key + Power Key for 15 seconds then release.
Kyle: 3.When the recovery screen comes up, use the volume up key and volume down key to navigate through the selections and the power key to select item.
Kyle: 4. Select Delete all user data to recover the device. To confirm, scroll down and select Yes – delete all user data. The phone reboots and again displays the recovery screen.
Kyle: 5. Select Reboot system to restart the handset again. "
Thanks but I cannot get to that recovery screen like I said above. All I get is a black screen with a white line when I try to go into recovery mode. I also purchase this used with no receipt.
U just need to flash a working rom. Try roto jm... in the dev forum
Your tab was modified. I wont blame Samsung if they wont fix it for u

How do i flash to a different rom if a computer wont detect it?
Do you have the latest kies installed? Is USB Debug on? If it still doesn't detect, have you tried android-sdk or heimdall. Each comes with usb driver. I find it hard to believe your PC doesn't detect the tab. I never heard such thing before unless you're the real first victim then...yeah, try to call Samsung and pay a fee.
Yes, I tried to use android-sdk and heimdall but they don't detect my TAB for me to do anything. I also installed the newest KIES software. I also don't understand why it doesn't detect it in download mode. This is the first time I encounter this problem. I flashed my Galaxy S I9000 phones many times without a problem. Is the combination of the firmware and kernal I have that is causing my computer not to detect the TAB?
Is there a way to root my TAB via an APK? I tried Z4Root but it's not working. It tries to acquirer shell and closes after a few vibrate. yes, debugging mode is on.

You've followed Heimdall's README and installed the included driver? Make sure you follow the instructions exactly.
If you have done that and your device still isn't recognised consider trying a another cable, USB port or entirely different PC.

Thanks for your advice but I already tried above. I didn't have any problems/trouble connecting my Verizon Tab and Galaxy S phone to the computers to change the roms. There is most likely something wrong with the Tab. I gave up and contacted Samsung yesterday. I sent the Tab to them yesterday and hopefully they won't charge me to fix it.

[Q] Galaxy Y in another boot loop!

Hi guys, please help if you can before I pull all of my hair out. My wife’s Galaxy Y is in a boot loop & I’ve spent most of the weekend trying to fix it without success. I'm a newbie here but have searched your forums before & found them very helpful but can't find a solution to my missing drivers problem.
So far I’ve followed the instructions in post 6 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33706714 but ODIN’s ID:COM field never changes colour (version 1.85). I’m guessing this is because every time I connect the phone to my PC I’m getting a message stating that the CDC drivers ACM & OBEX can’t be found despite having installed KIES from the link supplied.
It's a standard phone, never been flashed before it that's any help.
Okay...

So, you've never rooted it? What changes did you do last before it ran into a bootloop? My galaxy y, after receiving an update took 45 mins to boot up.
you dont need kies its pretty much usless for galaxy y
You need to install the samsung usb drivers
see my firmware thread for full instructions on how to use odin and link to the usb driver
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568853
Also you can just try wiping data in cwm - you will loose all data but the phone should start normally else you will have to flash stock rom via odin

Wow guys, that was fast! Thanks for your help, my wife doesn't remember changing or d/ling anything recently me0211.
I have already d/l the drivers from your link, Marcus. However, my PC wasn't picking up the CDC drivers even if I manually point the setup to the folder where I d/l the drivers. However, I've just renamed the folder it d/l the drivers to & redownloaded them again. Sure enough, connected the the phone to the PC & the drivers were successfully installed! Opened ODIN, the ID:COM field turned yellow, & everything worked perfectly from there!
Thanks so much Marcus, I've earned maximum brownie points with the wife & I'm now considering a Rooney weave for the hair I've lost.
She's lost all her texts but that's probably a blessing, she does like to to text. :laugh:
1- you need samsung drivere google it then install it
2- new odin version try ti get the latest update
3- to recovrey and wipe data and cache
4- entre cwm and wipe data and cache again
5- enter download mod and connect phone to pc and open odin the flash new rom
Dats it

[Q] Help! Samsung S5 no service

For two weeks, my Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F has no signals. It keeps showing No Service, I can't receive calls/messages at all.
I have used Smart Tutor to contact Samsung, their engineer reset the system (maybe), but couldn't make it work. Then I sent the phone back to UK service centre, they sent it back to me quickly with doing anything --just because my phone is not in European warranty. :crying:
The details of the phone:
IMEI is right, fireware is Country: Hong Kong, PDA: G900FZHU1BOA1,
From I have read, it seems like the Radio was turned off. But I don't know how to turn it on.
I tried to enter Service mode by dialing code *#*#4636#*#* but it didn't work for me.
I can get into ServiceMode by code *#0011# but I don't know what to do next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi lingowistico,
I did what you said, but it still can't work.
Is the modem not for the UK? (btw, the phone was from Hongkong, but I use it in the UK)
help......
Aside from the radio/modem that you should try flashing i suggest trying a custom rom as i had a similar issue on the official one

You can do that by reading the stickies like everyone else does instead of expecting that someone else will do it for you.
same here in 3 different devices...
The same happened to mine and my wife's devices. Since last Saturday I rooted them both, load 4.4.4, then ulgrade them to 5.0... downgrade them again. Tried flas modem a d flash radio. Seems nothing is working. Both are g900h. And today just realized that my cousin's g900f just have the same issue since friday. How can I know the date of the automatic installed updates... maybe some update cause this?
Also tried shortcut master to enter the secref codes with super user... no code is working...
The signal just comes and go every 5 mi utes. Sometime I can make a phone call but it crashed like 1 minute after I made it. Lazy data signal.
What else do you guys reccomend?

Need help on unfamiliar error screen. Image provided.

Just got the Note3 from a online seller who seems to be legit but when the phone was received via the mail, it didn't work as expected.
I've had some experience with android ROMs and rooting but those are mostly for the other phones, this is the first Samsung phone i got. Could you guys help and advise what to do to resolve this error?
I've actually downloaded Kies3 and use the emergency recover thing, but most of the times it couldn't detect the phone connection.
And on the rare occasion that it does detect something, it says that the model is incompatible with Kies3. Tried it with the old Kies too, but didn't work as well!
1. Turn off your device and reboot in stock recovery (Vol. up + Home button + Power button).
2. We need know your CSC for avoid problems.
3. Add one pic like the one attached pls.
Don't double post, i replied with everything you need in your other thread the same as this.

[i9505] Odin not working Windows 10 x64

So I am trying to install a custom recovery for my i9505, but Odin does not recognize the phone which was put in download mode before. Please help me! Here are some details:
I got proper USB Drivers installed (1.5.55.0), tried even with Kies/smart switch installed
Using Odin 3.09-3.10.7
Different usb-cables
Completly UNROOTED i9505 with STOCK recovery and 80% charge
In device manager the phone does not appear properly. It has two listings:
1. Other Devices\ MSM8960
2. USB-Controller \ Unknown USB Device (Error trying to get device description //translated from German
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Personally I think it should be a problem with Windows 10 but I am not sure...
To the phone itself because it could be hardware-wise broken:
The phone itself is a completly meltdown. Before I tried repairing it the speaker were broken (no sound). The phone ran an official lollipop rom. I think 5.0.1. Then I thought I could just hit a software update to fix maybe some problems. I updated to I9505XXUHOJ2 [5.0.1] DBT
And now the software experience is completly broken. The phone gets a lot of soft-reboots, the booting takes like 5 minutes and yes the phone is factory reseted. BUT HEY THE SPEAKER WORK AGAIN?!
I really dont know what is happening but there can be only 2 solutions:
1. Re-Install stock software via odin and then switch to cm and hope it works
2. or throw this piece of sh*t away because the cr*ppy hardware is brokanus sarus rekt
or is there any other solution? Tell me
Otherwise I would also ask if there is any solution to install cm12.1 or a custom recovery without root and odin access. (thinking of sideloading in recovery or something like this)
Thanks for reading and replying. I am gratefull for everything I hope the best ^.^
Try running Odin in compatibility mode, set for Windows 7.

Windows 10 x64 works fine. I used it myself.
Try all the different usb ports and reinstall the drivers. Use the drivers from here:
http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117
Hi,
As the addition, make sure Kies isn't running when Odin is executed as it could cause the device being not detected properly in Odin.
PS Note: I used Windows 10 Home x64 too and working fine as it should.
