Hello people, thanks for reading and trying to help in advance hehe
ok here it goes ....
i bought a galaxy tab 10.1v "Australian Vodafone Version" a while back, and since me and other users that own this pices of **** didn't get updates and stuff i decided to "unlock+Root+rom". I did that successfully after following guieds:
unlock :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064793
root+room: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079781
Everything wsa fine and i had the super user and everything, but in the second guide it says it is recomended or something like that to download ROM Manager from the market which i did, and i started the app and and did a backup. My Tab rebooted to a blank screen , i waited for a while but with no luck so i turned off and tried to go to DW mode or recovery mood so i can at least connecte it to odin3 and do something. When press V- + Power theres no DW nor recovery mode all i see is one smmall line on the left top corner that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
When i plug the usb into my computer nothing happenes no sound , no new device installing no nothin. but since i have been reading alot regarding this issue, i read something about APX mode and NVflash here and many other websites but i followed this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574
i got my tab connected but i couldn't do NVflash because whenever i do
"--sync" or "nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --go"
i get this :
Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)
some say that that means the device is locked eventho i pretty sure it not because i had the lock logo. anyway ...
just to answer every possible question in advnce and give more info :
*its a 10.1v "Vodafone Australia Version"
*was working fine after root/rom
*stoped working after using the app "ROM Manager" (i think its not compactible)
* the device on somekinda boot loop, the screen would turn on and off "blank screen with nothing in it no sound also"
* pressing Volum down + Pwer will taking me to a blank screen with one little line that says "Booting Recovery Kernal Image#"
*when i plug the usb to the computer nothing hapenes
* in APX mod is working but i cannot do anytning since the NVflash won't work.
* I followed everything step by step
Does that mean my device is useless ? is there anyway to get it back to life ?
Thank you and sorry for the spilling mistakes as im using a F'ed up keyboard
one more thing i did :
I let the battery drain overnight and pluged charged it again hopeing that will help, the battery logo won't even show up, just a blank screen
thanks

Hi Barry. Welcome to XDA. One quick suggestion: If you want to get help in an enthusiasts forum, don't call the object of everyone's affections a "pices [sic] of ****."
We all understand the stress of having non-responsive electronics; but you'll catch more flies with honey...
***edit. Wrote some stuff for you only to realize that you're on a 10.1v. Not sure how I missed that in your title (and thus, I suppose I can't comment on whether or not it really is a POS!). Until just now I never realized how different your tab is from the regular 10.1 (guides are much more difficult to follow!) Anyways, I found these threads that might be useful to you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083517
and

i apologize for that, but i was referring to my tab only ... anyways
thanks for your reply and for the links you gave me .. but still the biggest problem is i'm unable to connect my tab to odin, and downloading mode and recovery mode are not even there .. theyre all gone, only APX mode is working and even with that, NVflash won't work and i would give me this error
"Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)"
if i could connect to odin i could actually do something, or even NVflash i could run bootloader and it would install image files and all.
i'm not sure if i can do anything with APX other than NVflash .. or if i could somehow bypass Nvflash error ..
i just have a feeling that my tab won't make it
Just an idea... did you try to do the work with another pc?
For example a fresh XP 32bit install on another pc.
This "usb write error" seems strange.

Thanks for replying. .. Yes i tried with anither pc. . I have read in this forum and others that this error means that the tablet is somehow locked even tho it wasnt before i root/rom it
Its like not writable, ill install a freah xp pro and givr it another try since i tried only win win 7
Did you try to drain completely the battery and then charge?

Yes i did as i metioned in my post, didnt help
When i charged it after i drained the battery, the screen light will turn on but no battery logo or anything.. The only thing that would show up on the screen is when i try to enter downloading mod/recovery mod by pressing power+volume is a little line on the top right corner which says : " booting recovery image# "
thank you for your reply, what do you guys recommend since i can access APX mod, will i be able to do anthing other than nvflash in APX mod?
Since you are getting a usb write error as well as no charge indicator, is it possible that your USB cable is bad?

thanks for your reply
when i charge, the tablet does charge but no Battery logo, i can tell its charging because the screen lights will go on.
what i have tried so far :
* installed APX but when i try to nvflash it says something like writing failed
* tried both windows XP and windows 7
* drained the battery twice for 2 days
* changed USB cable
* tried to connect it to different versions on odin but computer only recognise the device in APX mode
* device still showing ( booting recovery kernel image#) when a try to access DW mod.
it all started when i used a backup program after rooting it, i don't get .. is its a backup it shouldn't delete everything (the system) and brick the tablet...
whats Kernel ? << noob
any new ideas guys ? is there any other programs/methods out there ?
anyone have the same problem ?
thanks

When it says booting recovery kernel image, did you try to just wait for about 15 to 20 minutes to find out if it boots again, or try logcat command?

yes, i left it like that till the next morning
** update **
Today i disassembled my tab after i read somewhere in this forum that i might get it back if i take the battery out or unplug the screen cables. Some claim that the touch screen could cause the tab to go into a boot loop; however that didn't work
i decided anyway to buy a new tab either Asus Transformer or Galaxy 8.9, even tho I'm kinda worried that this thing could happen to my new tab when i try to root it and install roms. I don't want to spend that much money until i figure out the problem, so i'm making this tablet "A testing Device" i'm gonna test every possible way to revive it for me and and others. I'll do my best with your help guys to solve this so we can provide help for others.
There was a Guide here in this forum about JTAGing that tablet along with a software that some company use to unbrick devices but i cold not find it, my cousin owns a hardware store and i could use everything i need .. i just need someone to guide me.
Thanks
Sounds like a cool project, sorry it cost so much.
zBarry, You should try this while you can, It sounds simple as it is but it worked for both my tablets that had the 0x4 aka locked bootloader. Sorry if you had already "Lego" lized your tablet into pieces but this may help. :]

As far as I know linux won't help, what % is your tablet charge at? Since you've opened it already why not just de-attach the battery and reattach it back and try to power it directly into fastboot. Normally draining is the same as stopping the flow of current into the tablet. Unlike phones where you can pop out the battery you can't do it to the tab unless you've opened it.
Can you please let me know what steps have you tried so far? Would be nice to know in detailed So I can help you out at best.

i think i have third every possible way out there... and the steps that i did to revive the device your way was :
i taped the power button and left it for like 2 days, then i plugged it to the computer in APX mode to check if its drained or not, but i think it was charging off the computer. So i repeated the first step and left it for 3 days, then plugged it into the socket. after couple of mins the screen turned on, but no logo or anything, just black screen (same issue). i decided to disassemble the device to take the battery out which i did and yet same result. i had hope so i re-did the battery drain thing and left it for a week and when i plugged it i pressed pwr+ vlo + and something.
my tab turns on, but just a black screen it won't that up, and power + volume up will show me a kernel message.
thanks so much, i aprreciate your trying to help any other way you think i should try ?
What sort of kernel message do you get? As far as I know maybe perhaps the contact's arent touching properly? Seems to me you did everything right but when it turns on you don't get the charging icon.
The good part is the display works and atleast you can boot up *Somehow* the bad part is you can't get it into Fastboot mode.
As far as I know the tablet is supposed to light up but have you checked if you get the offline charge icon (That green battery that sits in the middle of the screen and charges?) once you get it to drain/disconnect you should leave it to charge via wall socket for about 5-10secs for that icon to pop up. If you get that icon atleast then you know you are getting somewhere
I wish I had the tablet in hand so I could see what's going on. The whole oceans away solution makes it hard to guess what's happening

Try looking up some recovery software from the manufacturer like HTC does. Otherwise is a little to vague.

I have the same problem :crying:
Does someone know what to do?
I got a P9000 in the late spring, and have been really happy with it. Unfortunately I dropped it on the ground, and the screen cracked, after which the touch function did not work (but the phone did) I finally managed to get a new screen from China, and it has been installed by a local shop dealing with mobiles. However, the shop told me they could/would not deal with anything else but changing the LCD screen. The phone switches on (I can hear starting jingles and emails downloading etc) but the screen just turns from black to dark blue and stays that way. I have been trawling through the forums, but not sure what to do next. Take it that I need to flash it, and have followed the instructions given here, but it just seems to time out. Anyone got the patience to walk me through this?

You are in a boot loop. This is not a bad sign, now you know the screen works. It's normal that you have to flash the Rom again after replacing the screen. if you use flashtool, start download in flashtools before you connect your phone to the PC, then hold vol+ on your P9000 and connect the phone to the pc.

no, it's not the battery. You made a mistake by flashing the rom, now you are in a boot loop. Ignore the message on the screen. Try to flash the rom again. start flashtool, select the scattertext, click download, hold vol+ button on the phone and connect the phone to the PC

P9000 screen replacement
Hi . I had my p9000 about 2 months when I sat on it and cracked the screen,the casing was very slightly curved so I gave it to a shop to repair,now nearly 2 months later they say they can't get it to start up. They tried a new battery and I told them what I'd read on this forum regarding flahing the rom but They gave me back the phone with a new screen and nothing else, so I told them i'm not paying for 1/2 a repair and told them to remove the new screen and give me back the phone as it was . What do you think could be the problem if a repair shop cannot repair a screen and install new sorftware is there hope for it?
Hi, i broked my screen again so i am not a newbie about this... but this time after flashing the Phone show nothing at all... the small LED Dot is shining when android is boot, so i dont think the cable is connected wrong. The touch works fine..What can it be??
I bricked my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (YTS-X50F) this morning.
Trying to flash as ROM to get an update. it said it worked fine, rebooted and well ... I'm here aren't I.
Here is the thing, its somewhere between a soft brick and a hard brick.
If I try to power it down (or force it to turn off) I can hear it go through the motions. It plays the super obnoxious, deafeningly loud start up sound and vibrates. But the screen isn't readable. In some light you can kind of sorta make out the lenovo logo.
At one point I let it go through the motions, I could tell when I tried to swipe to unlock it worked (it vibrated when I did it from the wrong side and chimed when I did it right). I could kinda sort of make out stuff on the screen. but it wasn't in English. It was all as if someone had the screen brightness all the way down.
I know if I press and hold power and Vol+ it should go into Recovery and I could reset to factory etc. I just can't see that screen to do that!
Are there any kind of tools to force that from my computer? If I plug it into my computer and its on, my laptop recognizes its there.
I know I posted in the Lenovo forums, but I wanted to post here in a more general area in case other Android experts have ideas.

For lenovo no recovery needed to fix using pc. Actually while flashing you don't even have to power on your device.

Hate to pester you but I've been searching on this all day with no luck. I've got Stock frimware downloaded (zip file) and extracted. Yet I can not seem to locate the scatter file required to use the SP Flash tools. Most sites say "includes scatter file" yet no zip file seems to have it included (yes I've tried it more than one place).

For lenovo no recovery needed to fix using pc. Actually while flashing you don't even have to power on your device.

Hello guys,
I flashed the Android 11 firmware on my Samsung Galaxy A21s (SM-A217F) using odin. The progress didn't finish successful because of an fail.
Now my phone seems to not boot anymore. It shows the "Samsung powered by Android" - Screen and after this nothing more is happening. It's not possible to fully start the device. Also downloadmode doen't work. Connect the phone to PC doesn't work because phone is not turned on.
Is it possible to install OS/ROM/firmware with an SD-card or otherwise?
Do you have any other ideas to safe the phone und make it running again?
Please bear with me if the topic already exists and I didn't find it in the search. I apologize in this case and ask for reference to the forum post.
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to XDA. I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting please read the guidances that are stuck on top of every forum like
Note: Questions go in Q&A Forum
If you are posting a Question Thread post it in the Q&A forum. Technical discussion of Android development and hacking. No noobs, please. Device-specific releases should go under the appropriate device forum...
forum.xda-developers.com
and the others. I've moved the thread to Android Q&A as it didn't qualify for development.
Thanks for your cooperation.

download mode will work again once device left boot-loop. shutdown can be achieved by draining battery or long press power

Hello alecxs,
thanks for your answer. The phone is turned off. It shuts off automaticly after showing the first screen. Nothing else happens.
Downloadmode with pushing the buttons and insert the data cabel is not working. It also shows that screen and goes to black screen again.
It can work if phone Is bootloop will go again on download mode open your phone disconnect battery and replace wait for 7 or 10second then connect the battery hold volume up and down connect usb cable will redirect you for download mode thank you

well, that's not true. this device requires high skills and hair dryer - I do strongly not recommend this
just wait few weeks for the battery is drained

I will give it a try, if there is no other option.
But is my phone really in a bootloop? I don't think so. In the loop the Android-screen shows again and again. In my case, it only shows once including vibration and after this the screen turn off again. No second boot. The phone seems to turn off again.
In this case it will take ages to let the battery be empty.
yes that's boot-loop
if device would have powered off you would see charging animation when plugged..
according to this factory reset will solve?
Fingerprint sensor after update
Just installed UPDATE for A22. Fingerprint sensor not working any suggestions?

I've tried it. The is truely no charging animation.
So now I need to let die battery die and once that happend booting into download-mode is possible again?
Why did u try to flash using odin in the first place?
don't nail me but I believe buttons for download mode are read from ABL (aboot.mbn) it's very unlikely that OTA or stock ROM caused corrupted bootloader...
you can see Samsung logo, guess that means aboot is alive
@Verspot pointed out it requires vol dn + vol up + usb cable to enter download mode (imho bit unusual)

The mentioned button combination is the one I used to get to download mode before I flashed the firmware.
Now the button combination is not working.
It will not boot to recovery or the download mode.
Yes but what I meant the usb cable is important (instead pwr button) - obviously you did it right before, just wanted to clarify intentionally/unintentionally.
The error screen "fingerprint protection failed." suggest it can not read fingerprint so I guess your phone stucks somewhere beyond aboot, that's why it does not work
after doing some more research I have bad news for you:
found two other sites with same issue "fingerprint protection failed" (in espanol and nepalese) both suggest bricked bootloader which can only fixed by JTAG or ISP.
If that's true I recommend RMA to Samsung there is a good chance they treat as hardware failure (don't tell anything)

I don't like to hear that but after nothing so far worked, I expacted something like that.
Is my idea to boot the phone from an SD-card (like booting windows from USB-drive) and reinstall Android Firmware nonsense or is it somehow possible?
