Galaxy Tab A T515 stuck in recovery mode help ? - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I am new to the forum , i've been led here because i have a problem with my Glalaxy Tab A 10.1 T515 tablet. Every time i start the tablet it boots into recovery mode. i've tried everything i can with the limited knowledge i have but nothing seems to work and im just looking for some advice as to whether its a lost cause or something may be able to fix it. so far ive tried wipe cache partition , wipe data / factory reset and ive even tried reflashing it with standard firmware through odin but it fails. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Paul

[Q] My Note III is bricked??

Hi guys, I am new here, I am now finding help anywhere about my Note III recent problem...
My note III is SM-N9005 Malaysia version, I did root it with CF Auto Root and I had been using it without problems until yesterday morning,
This is my case :
I realized my alarm was written "Clock has been not responding" and I lost my network service, then I tried to restart my phone,
Since I restart, it became worst, my phone went into boot loop and sometimes freeze on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 3" screen,
But in a few times of reboot, it will be able to boot into homescreen, but still no service for the network, and everything processes work extremely slow, even freezing and crashing!
What I tried to do to fix it :
-I went to the Samsung service center, and the technician said that my warranty is voided (Ofcourse I knew it), and he told me that this problem is due to software problem instead of hardware.
-I did flash my kernel with stock kernel again which was downloaded from Sammobile, but it did not fix my problem,
-And I tried to hard reset and factory reset of my phone, it did not help too,
-I am also tried to clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot the device, it didn't seems working...
I have already done what I could but I still yet to fix my phone, what should I do now, any experts can guild me?? T^T
Thank you

I didn't really know about EFS while I root my phone, I just knew it recently due to my current issue, so I didn't backup it....
Is there any other solution??? Or could I recover my EFS eventhough I didn't do a backup??
BTW, thx for reply~

check your internal card or sd card for a folder called Backups or something similar, if your running a custom rom normally EFS is automatically stored there if your custom rom does do EFS backup automatically at install....if not do a search on the forum for EFS RECOVERY or re-flash your rom it may help or may not, but im sure it wont though...
also read though the link i sent you there maybe some think there that may help you

Its not bricked if its still working. Have you tried turning on your phone without a sim card / sd card inserted?
also try *#06# to see if your imei number is presant..

Thanks guys for the replies
-I went for a search for the backup folder in either of the storage mentioned by I didn't see a file called "backup"... I think I deleted it since the factory reset I've done yesterday, I went to many forums hat talk about EFS, and it wont help my problem cos all of them are talk about "Backup/recover", where I didn't backup my EFS earlier...
-I tried for the IMEI code, that's the reason I know about EFS, it shows "null/null", and most the information are showing unknown, such as baseband version, IMEISV, IP Address, Bluetooth Address.
-My current situation is whatever I flash into my phone, it just wont help, the problem didn't improvise at all...
Thanks..

download Stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates
turn phone off, boot into recovery mode wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
turn phone off, boot into download mode
use odin v 3.09 load your downloaded firmware into AP, check update boot loader box, don't check anything else and click start.
once it finishes flashing, it will reboot by itself.
if it fails then you might want to repeat the process above one more time.
if still fails u might want to do emergency recovery via kies.
Good luck and hope this helps.

I have tried the odin method and it didn't work...
Now I am trying for the kies emergency recovery method, and I will reply if there are any improvements...
Hi guys, I think have some new clues to determine my problem now
I flashed a custom recovery into my phone this morning,
and I realise that my /system, /efs and /firmware-modem is unmounted,
I tried to mount them, it was successful, but when I reboot the device, the problem still there,
Boot loop, no IMEI, no Baseband Version, Lag Processes,
and I went back to recovery again, I realised they have been unmounted again...
Any idea what is the problem guys??
Thx

Hi there,
I have tried the kies emergency recovery method, but it was unsuccessful,
My note 3 was connected to the kies, but when I run Emergency Firmware Recovery,
My device was instantly disconnected with kies
And I have also tried the Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation,
The Kies showed me that my device is not supported with initialisation...
Anything I should do??
Thx

FAILED to flash rom, stuck in bootloop I9500, please help.

Hey guys. I tried to find similar topic but I couldn't.
I'm facing a problem with my Galaxy S4 i9500. Around a mouth ago I flushed kitkat with odin. After that I rooted it. The phone was working properly until couple of days ago. It start freezing and restarting. 2 days ago couldn't start at all. Stuck on SAMSUNG logo. I tried to flash kitkat again , but it failed. I was able to flash CWM recovery 6.0.3.3-i9500 and clean the cache, delvik cache and tried to restore the manufacturer settings. After rebooting, I see Samsung logo. phone restart and stuck on the Samsung logo again.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
Thank you.
Doesn't sound like a software problem. I think you have some hardware failure. I don't think it's your power button though, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay in download mode for more then a few sec.
That doesn't sound good. What hardware problem might be? The phone has never been dropped and always been in a case.

Did you remove all knox related apps when you rooted?
I recommend..flash stock rom.

Then reroot via philz itself..(philz options reroot)

[Q] Unfortunately, System UI has stopped

Hi,
I was messaging a friend on my phone when all of a sudden it shuts down. Now when it reloads after the samsung logo I box pops up saying Unfortunately, System UI has stopped. I flashed lollipop over a week ago and everything was going great until now... Any ideas anyone? I tried to flash again but MMC_write fail at start. so no go. Odin sees it. TWRP is available but I cant restore since my restore point has disappeared. I cant mount anything besides system and micro sd. Cant get int Adb sideload either.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can offer or lead me to an answer.

It fails due to the fact that it cant mount data, cache, or internal storage. Any other ideas? Man I wish it was that simple though would have been free from the stress last few days.
Thanks,
I got the same problem when i flashed cf root for kitkat on my SM-N9005 5.0 lollipop, i simply reflashed the stock rom via odin and problem solved

I was thinking the same, however everytime I try to flash something with odin it fails. On the screen it says MMC: MMC_write fail not sure how to get around this part. Sent to samsung tech guy and he said he couldn't either. any other ideas?
Is it ok on xda to bump a thread? if not my bad. Still desperately looking for an answer on this topic.
Anyone with ideas? It's been since feb and still sitting in the corner looking all sad.... IF all else fails is there a way to brick the phone completely so that Samsung will honor my warranty? Microwave? Oven? Something?!!?

[Q] sm-g870a

Howdy, att s5 active was acting up so i downloaded the stock ne4 firmware from sammobile and flashed it via odin. Now the phone is stuck at the s5 splash screen and refuses to boot. I have tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and performing a factory reset to no avail. I have also tried using the firmware upgrade feature in kies but this did not work either. I am at a loss if anyone could point me in the right direction to help me get this thing working again i would be very appreciative.
The phone is completely stock , never rooted or messed with recovery or anything like that.

For anyone experiencing issues similar to what I was i believe i have found a solution : eventually i was able to get 4.4.2 to boot fully up - but then began to experience random resets. What I did was go into developer options and switch from dalvik to art. After all of the apps were done optimizing the s5 active now works perfectly, without issue. Hopefully this information helps someone else get theirs working properly.
hello
What firmware you flas first time? ???4.4.2???

Looking for help (s8)

Hey guys,
I have an Exynos S8 and installed twrp. Somehow, when i want to wipe data to factory reset, it says unable to mount /preload.
So when i start my phone normally, it stays in the "GALAXY S8" screen with the black background (forever).
Does anybody know how to fix it? Or even better, how to proceed if i want to install LineageOS ?
Please help and thanks in advance!
UPDATE: I was able to wipe preload by disabling MTP. Only now, when i choose the reboot TWRP says "no OS installed. Are you sure to reboot?" I don't want to try that ^^
SOLVED - was able to flash lineageos
gymarang said:
Hey guys,
sorry in advance for the newbielike mistakes i made...^^
I wanted to put lineageOS on my galaxy s8 by following the step by step guide from "getdroidtips".
I've installed Twrp and it seems to work so far, and here is where im stuck. From there, i can't flash lineageOS like i should be able to.
Now i wanted to put the original firmware back in the phone with odin, and i did everything right (also extract pit file from csc etc.), but odin just says "setup connection" without doing anything else.
I'm really desperite now :'(
Could anybody help?
Thx in advance

What is the problem you are facing when trying to install lineage os? Did you format the data partition and erased system and cache? What version are you using (SD or exynos) Where did you download it from? Your problem should be easily fixable

Hi thanks for the quick answer,
i took everything provided from that website, and yes i erased everything before trying to install lineageOS ( it was in the steps)
I'm on exynos ^^
The problem i faced is after the (re)boot, my phone just went in a loop when turning on (black screen -> GALAXY S8 -> black screen -> GALAXY S8...)
