I'm not sure what exactly you're asking but I suppose you could stick it into Download mode using the buttons then just flash a ROM and kernel on it using odin

[SOLVED] My Note 10.1 shows a fuzzy/white lined screen when booting up ??? [Video]

I flashed stock firmware via odin, but before I clicked start I left my tablet to charge for a bit. While I was gone my son had been messing with my laptop without my knowledge, but I'm not sure whether he ticked one of the boxes on ODIN or not.
Anyway, I went back later and began the flash. It finished successfully. Then I started up my note 10.1 and the splash screen was showing white lines across the screen instead of the usual "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Sometime it shows the 'download mode' screen for a few seconds too.
Here is a video showing what happens...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9gFJBz0THc
How do I get it back to normal and why did this happen? Also, will this effect how my tablet runs in any way?
I've tried flashing the firmware again via ODIN and again via kies, with no luck.

My tablet does the same thing, it did this after I flashed with Odin as well. It does not really bother me that much though because I rarely ever shut down my tablet.

No clue as to why it happened. If you've reloaded the s/w again successfully via Odin and it's still there I'd try a hard reset from recovery. Turn it off and when it restarts hold "power/volume up" and select "wipe data/factory reset" as shown below. It might just be a coincidental h/w issue that popped up. But the fact "download mode" appears occasionally makes that improbable. You can always send it in for repair claiming ignorance. If you've only used Odin to flash stock s/w for your device's model (EG: N8010>N8010) Samsung will be none the wiser.

The strange things are that when the download mode shows at the beginning of a boot, it's always just a kind of screen shot from when I last went into download mode. Plus everything is working perfectly fine, the system runs as it usually would, same speed, etc. I can still root, flash a recovery, flash custom ROMS, etc.
I've already tried what you said, numerous times. I've flashed a few times too, completely erasing system, data and cache before flashing. I'm currently using a custom ROM and everything is working perfectly fine. The boot issue is the only thing wrong with the tablet. Surely there's a way to change it? Like flashing a boot animations?
I thought maybe it's soft bricked? I read somewhere that flashing the PIT would fix the issue I'm having, but i can't find the N8010 PIT file anywhere

I've come to the conclusion that 'NAND erase all' had been ticked on Odin. What exactly does that do and can I reverse it?

There is no "nand erase all" option in the odin version you should be using.

I had no clue I should be using a certain version of Odin, I assumed latest version was best version to use.
Does this mean there's nothing I can do?
I've also noticed that after flashing stock firmware via Odin, the phone stays stuck on the bootloader, unless I do a factory reset in recovery.
I guess for now there is nothing I can do. Nobody seems to know what the problem is.
Finally fixed it!!
I don't know exactly what did it, but I flashed the new N8010 4.1.2 firmware via Mobile Odin, and it was as good as new
Thanks to everyone that tried to help

Thanks, it fixed it for me as well . I'm assuming in this firmware they fixed the exynos exploit, so they must of changed something in the bootloader or something, which happened to fix this? I do not really know.

Hard bricked phone?

Hello everyone,
I recently tried to flash a kernel and it seems that it was a corrupted download or something of the sorts and no whenever my phone powers on, the phone sits on a black screen and just vibrates. I have gotten into download mode and ODIN'd it with the stock image but it put me right back at the same thing. Has anyone else had this issue and if so can itt be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
It would help to know what device you have, what firmware you where on and what kernel you tried to flash

I'm not for sure about it being hard bricked if you can still get into download mode. Did you use a jig to get into download mode becuz I think that would be the only way to get to it if it was hardbricked,if not you may be able to get the pit file and fix it

In settings, about device would show the firmware. If you odined and you were on the mdl firmware. You can't get into recovery right now? Only download mode? Did you try to flash a rom before the kernel? I assume you have an i337?

After odin says sucessful,you have to remove the battery cause it will be stuck stuck on the download screen and go into recovery and factory reset the phone and it should boot right up.I dont think your phone is hard-bricked if you was able to use odin.

yeah i have done the samething. i went from stock rooted and had cyanogenmod 10 successfully downloaded and running one night. The next morning i installed ktoonsez kernel 100% certain it was for my cyano and everything i was running and its 90% hard bricked. The only thing i can do is get it into odin mode. Ive also flashed my att ucuamdl file with odin to try and reset it and it has said successful. The only thing i had checked was t ime reset and reboot. So i pulled the battery to try and fire it back up and nothing happens but a black screen and a little vibration. Kind of pisses me of since im not the only one who has had this happen. So far ive still had no luck with anything about the phone. no recovery, no nothing. Anybody else know anything?

If you can get into odin mode flash the mdl file again but make sure you have nothing ticked such as the f rest time or auto boot.And once you done pull out your usb cord and it should still say downloading on the screen.So pull the battery and then place it back in but dont boot up go into recovery what i do to get in recovery is hold the volume up,power and home button until i see the recovery booting sign at the top left corner then i let go off the power button and hold the volume up and home button until it boots into recovery.but when you go into recovery it will download the install the mdl file so you might have to do the recovery part twice after it installs the file then factory reset your phone and it should boot right up.

What kt kernel did you install was it the aosp kt kernel or the tw kt kernel you might flashed the wrong kernel.

I know that you would think that it would be the newbie mistake to install an tw kernel on top of a aosp ROM, but I made 100% sure to choose the correct ROM. I know the difference between touch wiz and also.
Also, sorry to hijack the thread I just saw it and figured since we both have the same problem we might all solve it together.

[Q] NOTE3 Power button/ Lock screen problem.

I recently rooted my note3 and installed xpose framework and other tweaks. i later realised that my power button cant lock and put my device into my lock screen.
the power button still works for everything else and i have a software button to bring it to the lock screen which i made using the "greenify app".
whats causing this and is there any fix? or any ways to put the device into safe mode ans see if this is caused by some faulty tweak? bug?
Summary:
"Power button works for everything except putting the phone to lockscreen/screen blackout"
Basic solution is to go to security and check "power button instantly locks" something like that.

I removed all my modules and root permissions and used super user to remove my root.
Ive backed up all my data, removed my root access and im planning to do a factory reset. That should fix it right? Is it possible to soft brick my device this way?
Im fluent when it comes to jailbreaking but still a total noob with rooting.

Factory reset will delete all data photos, music, vids, contact and messages etc. If you've backed up everything then you are good to go for factory reset and will welcome you back to fresh out of the box phone. And no soft brick can occur by doing this.

You could remote wipe it if you have a google account connected to it.
I don't think it requires any other action except the phone having an internet connection.
By flashing a stock firmware and select a .pit file and check repartition. You have to know what you are doing though.
Or boot into the recovery, look for a screenshot of the recovery on google and try to factory reset it using the buttons.
Yes but that would be fairly trial and error.

Unfortunately the phone wasn't set up for android device manager as device administrator so can't use this function.
Also the screen doesn't turn on, so can't use the buttons for doing a hard reset through recovery
