Okay, here's the situation. I was playing Minecraft PE on a server. While I was playing, all of a sudden, my tab stopped working and froze. Then I reset (power button >5 seconds) the tab. After that, I was stuck on the splash screen (shows Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). But I did set the settings to not show the boot animation during boot (this was a long time ago). I left it there for 2 hours++ and nothing happened. I even left it to drain until it shut down itself. I did a full charge, not working. I took out the battery overnight, not working. Only CWM recovery works. I tried to backup, but then was stuck on SettingsProvider.apk. I cleared cache and dalvik, not working. I didn't factory reset though as I will lose the entire Rom itself. I tried to sideload the rom on my pc, but Windows shows USB not recognized etc. I also tried going into download mode, but then same thing, windows does not recognize it. In ODIN, nothing shows up. I suspect a faulty cable, so I'll buy a new one. However, that couldn't make it bootloop in the first place. So I need help for this.. It has been almost a week. My ROM is SlimBean p4 20121211. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I used the factory reset function on my tab a couple days ago to delete all apps and such and upon reboot it was stuck at the slowly flashing Samsung logo and would proceed no further. I left it for a good hour and a half in that state before I tried hard resetting it but no dice. I've had it do this before when I first rooted it, but unlike that time it doesn't replay the whole boot animation, just the logo part at the end of the animation. I managed to get it in clockwork mod or bootloader whatever that function is and cleared all the caches and did a reboot recovery (i believe thats what it was called) but upon reboot it did the same exact thing. So after that I gave up and went to bed, but the next day when I went back at it again it wouldn't even turn on. After messing around with the power button and volume button trying to get into recovery mode it finally turned on but went to the battery screen with no other actions. I've tried several times to get it into recovery mode but it either wont turn on or it just goes to the battery screen. I have it plugged into my pc at the moment and apparently it is in recovery mode or something because Odin recognizes it. Says [0:COM3] and the box is yellow, but the screen never turns on though when holding the power button and volume button while it's plugged into a pc, the pc recognizes something plugged into the USB slot. My pc is only recognizing it as a modem and will do nothing else with it.
I have the Starburst rom and the overclocked kernel installed and would like to either revert it to stock rom or perhaps the AOKP rom, milestone 6. Is there any way to do this if I can't boot it into a state where I can access the SD card on my pc? All the guides I've found always require I put files on the sd card to flash in clockwork recovery mod. Thanks for any assistance
Edit: Solved it myself, feel free to delete this post. Thanks!
About 3-4 months ago I flashed stock ICS into my Galaxy S2 (I did not wipe the cache, which I discover today was a mistake). I noticed a few weeks later that it was a bit unstable, crashing, restarting, etc. I did not care much and just kept using it.
Today it just would not boot, so after 1 hour trying, I managed to keep it alive (using safe mode) long enough to go to setting and have a factory reset.
Then it would not boot again.
From there, I tried several times the factory reset and wipe cache (using volume up + home + power menu). It would sometimes hang on the "installing applications" until several restarts it would eventually go. Then it would hang randomly on startup "s" video, until I managed to get to the welcome screen - which freezes pretty much on the first or second screen (choosing language and date/time).
I flashed I9100GXXLPY_I9100GDBTLP3_DBT and got the same result.
The phone is not rooted, there is no clockwork and I can't even access the phone to put it into debug mode.
Anyone has any more idea of what can be done besides throwing it on the trash? :/
My Tab is not feeling well.
I have installed CM-10.1. Everyting worked perfectly. Until it didn’t work at all.
Suddenly it boots and gets stuck at Bootup image "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1".
It all happened just like that, and during some update or alteration on it.
And until this happened the tab worked perfectly.
Have tried:
Restart. Stuck at Bootup image "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1".
ReFlashing the CM-10.1-20130119-nightly-p4.zip. The whole process works normally until it will boot up and then it gets stuck.
Wipe dalvik
Wipe cache partition.
Wiped the screen.
ReFlashed the CM 20130108 (which was the first I put in before I update via settings)
ReAdded a new bootloader via Odin.
Fix permissions
Nothing helps.
What differs.
Tried factory reset. It starts running the reset but after aprox. 10 sec. the Bootup image "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1" turns up.
When I insert the charger, the battery symbol comes up, but does not show that it is charging. Stuck on the battery with the star/sun in it.
Tried to restore the saved backup in Nandorid. "Could not open directory"
What has happened? And how do I do now?
My Rooted Nexus 7 was working perfectly. Now I am not sure If it is Soft Bricked or something else is wrong with it, It was charging one day and I took it off one micro usb charger and put it on another Nexus 7 charger. I went back and turned it on, Now it was stuck in bootloop, I have seen bootloops before, but not like this. It turns on and goes to the lock screen, then after a few second it freezes then restarts. I have been able to quickly log in boot into safe mode but it still freezes and restarts, I made it to the app menu once and then it sad , Unfortunately Launcher has stopped, I have cleared the cache and dalvik cache and nothing works, I have bootloader version 4.1.3 and CWM version 6.0.1.9, I have tried to format tablet and factory reset with cwm recovery but when I turn it back on I still see my stuff and I still reboots, I have tried to restore from a backup from a while ago with cwm but it fails. I tried to use nexus toolkit but I dont remember my version and I cant check, I gave it a guess but It can not find my device when plugged in, even in recovery mode, It said something about fastboot but i think i did that but I am not 100% sure what it is, I need to get this workig again fast.
Hi,
I was using nameless ROM on my TAB. I think it was 4.4.2. I have decided to try ART runtime, so I have removed Xposed Framework, switched to ART and restarted my TAB, it booted fine and showed "Android is upgrading" message so I left the TAB to start.
When I picked it up later I was "black screen only", I thought that battery driained out so I have connected it to charger but nothing happened, so i left if for a few days suspecting I has frozen so I can't unlock it/shut it down.
Right now after a week it's still "black", doesn't respond to connecting charger (I have tried 2).
I also tried to shut it down by pressing power button for 10 seconds but it didn't help either.
What I should try next?
What are the chances that perfectly working tab has died because of ART runtime, I though that bootloop it the worst scenario as system partition can be damaged only while flashing.
Is it possible that the TAB is bricked?
I can also add that I have previously tested ART with Omni ROM but a few apps that I used FC then...
Can you boot into recovery? If so, you can revert back to dalvik using this flashable zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707841
No, it doesn't power-up at all. Looks like phone with no battery.
Then I have no clue. Never tried ART on my tab before because of Xposed. The one time I tried most of my apps kept FC-ing then I went back to dalvik. But you have to find a way to get your tab into recovery, then you can flash that zip.
