[Q] Galaxy Tab hangs on Galaxy Tab Logo after firmware upgrade

Hello, I have upgraded my galaxy tab (pda jj3-phone jid - csc jj2) to roto jmi firmware with odin 1.7. all the process seems to be ok, no error message.
After rebooting, the device hangs on galaxy tab samsung logo. factory reset is no longer possible. Does anybody have a idea?
Many thanks in advance.

Ever heard of "if it ain't broke dont fix it"? So, there you go

sure... sure but now it is

Try using volume UP rocker + power button.
This should put the phone into recovery.. Then you select reset to factory defaults. That should do the trick.

thx kragebein, unfortunately my device won't to go in recovery mode

Are you sure you are doing it right? Hold down the up volume rocker and the power button at the same time until you hit the recovery screen? Optionally you could try to see if you get it in download mode, and reflash your phone.. i had severe problems with mine, but got it fixed today by using roto-jma rom..

Yes, I think I dit it right. Download mode can be activated with volume down & power, but not recovery mode with volume up & power. I have tried to load the firmware again without any error message, but no way.

Same here. Whatever I do (flash) I don't get past the Samsung Boot screen.

You need to flash a complete rom, like Roto JME FULL v.4 with the tab in download mode. He gives complete instructions.
Some releases are just upgrades, so start with a complete rom.

I have tried that and either it fails to upload the primary bootloader (boot.bin) or it stays the same after flashing: it doesn't go beyond the first Samsung Screen. No adb connection possible.
How can I flash a primary bootloader without protection? With JTAG only?

A forum member, Rotohammer used a Jtag box to fix the bootloader issue. He doesn't recieve PM's, but someone he collaborated with to solve the bootloader issue is a fellow named Chainfire. Perhaps you can contact him for the procedure.
But when you flashed the JME did you use the hidden .pit file with repartition selected?
If I was in your spot I would
1. turn off the tab (push power button for 10 sec)
2. then push power and volume down to go to download (yellow digger screen or phone and pc screen)
3. Connect to pc with odin3 already opened, wait until the yellow box shows the connection
4. Load the p1_hidden.pit and check repartition
5. Flash that, then power off, go into DL again, load and flash JME v4 full rom
6. Now flash a modem

hi guys im thinking that u guys may have flash a lock bootloader rom
or u actually already have a lock bootloader rom
try load a roto jme v4 full version see if it works~
1. download odin 1.7
2. download Addon-JME-Modem.zip / P1_add_hidden.pit / Roto-JME-Full-v4.zip from http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
3. and follow the instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827

I wish i said that.

The bootloader mentioned above is in a thread about the black screen and white line you are experiencing. It has the link to that jj4 file.

Thanks, but this didn't help. I think it may be a hardware issue (e.g. the kernel can't be loaded, panic or something). I will return my tab tomorrow.

We need more info:
Which file dit you flash?
Dit you flash one file in PHONE?
or mulitple files, like PIT+BOOTLADER+PDA?
Also it is a good idea to check the MD5 before you flash to make shure the download is not corrupt.
Can you stil go into download mode? Volume Down + Power + Home
Can you go into recovery? Volume UP + Power + Home
Also you can retry with Odin3 v1.85.

Here is my suggestion, reboot the phone into recovery mode. (it's ok if its a stock recovery)
After going into recovery do a "factory reset" and see if the phone starts up normally.
There is at least a 50/50 chance that it will.
If it still does not boot then you need to go to SamMobile: http://www.sammobile.com
and get the stock official ODIN flash firmware for your specific phone model.
I would have given you the exact download link for your specific phone if you would
have been more SPECIFIC and added the EXACT model of your phone in your post.
(i9500-i9505-i9505G and so on)

Is it bricked?

Just reflash it, and make sure you have the right CWM recovery .6 iirc is the correct one.

Remember the term bricked means basically a paperweight. Won't turn on at all and basically a dud. If your phone turns on then it's not bricked even if it boot loops etc

Another way take out the battery, insert, turn on by direct boot to download mode, use Odin reflash the ROM with tick Phone Bootloader Updates.

Guys whenever I remove battery ,try hard reset or try to enter download mode..it starts in stuck boot screen (won't go any further) showing this...

Take the battery out to power off the device, then put it back in... Hold volume down + Home + Power to get to download mode. You are trying recovery mode which is different.

Seems you were right thx a lot

Friend was having this same issue, followed the thread and got it fixed, thanks everyone!

Note 3 stuck on recovery boot

Hi guys, I just recently attempted to root my Note 3 using CF-Auto-Root however after downloading and installing using my version (SM-N900T since I have tmo) it is stuck at a screen saying
RECOVERY BOOTING....
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
SET WARRANTY BIT: RECOVERY
It seems that I cannot leave this boot screen to get into download mode and the device will not boot into android so I am at a loss of what to do. My computer does not see the device when I plug it in.

Use below file for rooting & once rooted successfully, switch off your phone & reboot in recovery.

Remove battery, wait 10 seconds replace battery and
hold down the volume down+power+home key at the
same time. Then the phone will go into download mode.

I have 4 sprint Note 3's I rooted with CWM for all 4 but one is "stuck" at recovery like this any time I turn it on it always tries to boot into recovery and gets stuck.
I can get into download mode. will cf auto root fix this? (trying to avoid a full odin restore)
the only thing different about this sprint note 3 that I am aware of is that its flashed to boost (if that matters it should not matter)
the other 3 went flawlessly. yes I tried to odin the cwm root a second time no change.

Thanks!!!
Thanks for the link. Just unboxed the note 3 (sprint) with version 4.3 and followed qbking77 and it was stuck on that same screen (tried it 3 times).
Your link saved me. :good::good::good:
I wonder why qbking's didn't work ... it always has in the past.

Why didn't you use the specific file for your device (Note 3 Sprint): http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip

thought I was...
Maybe I'm getting dumber, or maybe it's getting more confusing to root. Seems like there's a crap load of how to root this device pages and it takes a long time to figure out which one actually works. Then once I find it, I'm faced with dead links to the downloads.

I read on many posts and comments that everyone is able to boot in download mode. My Note 3 just stuck on recovery boot and I can't get it to boot in download mode. I tried all of the suggestions about pressing three buttons, removing battery etc.
Does anyone know solution for when you can't get into download mode?
Thanks

Do you have access to a USB jig?

i know this thread is old....but sometimes i have to access download mode, and then chose cancel in order for it to boot. usually from recovery when i tap reboot system, it brings me back to recovery. so i have to pull the battery and button combo to download mode then cancel. does this issue have any familiarity?

Someone please help I have a Samsung note edge that I just reset through the menu settings backup and reset option and phone turned off but did not fully come back on its just sitting on black Samsung Screen and on top left corner it says recovery booting set warranty bit : recovery in blue and yellow letters and I am able to got into the download screen but I press volume down just to cancel and reboot and stars coming on but gose back to same black Samung screen. Like i said I did not try rooting it or any such thing.

Wrong forum this is not EDGE model .
Download mode and flash stock rom through Odin is generic advice .

"Recovery Booting" Bootloop fix
A few months ago, my rooted Galaxy Note 3 (sm-n900t) was force closing and freezing my apps often. So I decided to boot into recovery to clear device cache. The 'recovery booting' would appear on the screen with the logo, but after 7 seconds it would reboot normally instead of opening recovery(I had version 3.2.3.0). So I did reboot recovery with Rom Toolbox and it began bootlooping with the message:
Recovery Booting....
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
It wouldn't boot normally, in recovery or download mode.
STEPS TO FIX:
1.) Let phone Bootloop until completely dead
2.) On PC downloaded (2.8.7.0) twrp file for device from twrp.me/devices
3.) Press and hold volume down + home + power until phone reboots into download mode.
4.) Plug device into PC USB where drivers are loaded.
5.) Start Odin or Samsung Tool z3x flashing tab
6.) Load twrp in AP or PDA section and flash
7.) Phone should reboot normally!

[Q] Note 3 boot loop (can't get into download mode).

Hi guys i think ive screwed up here massively. I was running stock lollipop on my note 3 and i attempted to gain root using odin and cf auto root hlte hltexx smn9005. After Odin said PASS i unplugged it but i may have done it too soon (not sure). Now when i turn it on it appears to automatically attempt to boot in to recovery over and over. I've removed the battery and tried to boot in to recovery and download holding all the button combinations and it doesn't boot long enough to get into any mode. Any advice to fix or is it completely bricked?

To root you need to flash twrp. Then flash supersu.zip. Don't think cf auto root working with lollipop.
So now try to flash twrp 2.8.5. If your phone boots successfully into twrp, flash supersu2.4.6.zip which your can find it by google.
If your phone still doesn't boot, odin whole firmware.

Did you try pulling the battery? When using Odin the best (safest) way to do it is pull the battery (without the USB cable plugged in ) wait 10 secs or so then put it back in and hold down the DL mode keys. There seems to be a fundamental difference between a hot boot into DL and a physical restart via battery removal.

Happened to me the other day too. Just hold volume down + power + home and THEN plug in the battery. It worked like a charmo for me.

It worked
Wow battery out then insert worked!!! So stoked. You guys are awesome i thought the phone was gone so i went out and got a note 4 on my plan as i was out of contract lol. Oh well all good new phone and i can get the note 3 on ebay. Cheers guys!!!
