Hello...
I am having the following problem...
And yes I have looked all over before I decided to post this thread...
I was trying to flash a new rom on my Galaxy Tab 7 with Odin and somehow it got stuck.
Now all i get is the PC/Phone/Exclamation Icon. The icons only show up when the Tab is plugged into the wall. It will show the icon for about a minute and then it will go black. It's a continuing loop.
When I disconnect it from the wall charger to connect it to the PC to run Odin, the icon disappears and does not come back.
I have read on the forums of people that have disconnected the battery on other devices and that fixes the problem, so I opened up my Galaxy Tab 7 and did the same. That did not work.
I cannot get the Tab into Download Mode whatsoever to be able to use Odin or Heimdall. I even downloaded the One-Click Unbrick Java Software but that won't recognize it either
Can anyone help me???
Just shooting in the dark here cause i dont have a galaxy tab but this is the method i used for my galaxy s wgen i had a similar issue... Make sure the device is off and battery is out. Open odin then plug device in while holding both volume buttons down and then putting the battery back in. Hope this helps. Good luck
Know 50...
I tried that already and that doesn't work either.
I may have a nice big paperweight now!!!
LOL!!!
Well I put the Galaxy Tab to charge for about an hour and then after I hooked it up to the computer, it was recognized by Odin.
I was able to flash the stock rom back to it successfully, but after it finished the Tab is now off and won't come back on.
I guess I'll charge it for a few more hours and see what happens...

Just spent the last couple hours going through the rooting process, except for I never got the chance to flash CWM. The volume down button is not working to bring it into download mode. I know the button works when the phone is on, so it's not a mechanical issue.
I installed/uninstalled the Samsung drivers a handful of times, even grabbed the official file from Samsung's site. Restarted, didn't restart, ran Odin as admin and not, tried several USB cords, and several USB ports, and still nothing. I got it to go once, held til the COM port showed up in Odin, but then the phone randomly disconnected and got an error from Windows says drivers not installed correctly.
Any other ideas to try? I am coming from a rooted OG Droid, so it isn't my first time, but I am by no means an expert.
Thanks in advance.
Download terminal emulator and allow su permissions
Just type su, allow, restart app.
Type su, then reboot download

The Charge is kind of touchy about download mode, I've noticed.
Here's what you can do.
1) Turn the phone off completely, unplugged off the charger.
2) When it is off completely, plug in the the USB cord and hit the volume down button at the same time. Hit the volume down button constantly many times until download mode finally kicks in.
ALTERNATIVELY -
You can download "Quick Boot (Reboot)" from the market. This will allow you to boot into Download Mode or Recovery straight from the app. Only if you're rooted though.
why not try another computer? also, are you using a laptop or a desktop. if you are using a laptop, make sure it is plugged into an outlet. (If on Vista or 7) Make sure your power settings are set to balanced or high performance (not sure if this affects USB ports but it may).
In addition to all that, what version of ODIN are you using?
I'll just tell you what I know works from experience.
#1: Turn the phone off and wait 15 seconds(it needs to completely shut off)
#2: Remove the battery
#3: Open Odin
#4: Plug the phone with no battery into the back USB port of your desktop(if you have a laptop just use any port)and while its plugged in just hold the Down volume control for a few seconds until a yellow triangle pops up on your screen but DONT let go until one of the rectangle ports in Odin turns yellow as well, then you can let go of the Down volume button.
If that doesn't work then I can't help ya D:

I am using Windows 7 desktop so I'll check my power settings tonight.
Odin should be v1.3 IIRC. Laptop had the same issue which is also running 7 so I'll need to check settings on that as well.

Thanks for the other replies as well. Tonight will be attempt 2. Touchwiz is unfortuantely growing on me, but having the bloatware is really annoying me. Will probably run stock for a bit then flash gummy charged.

Got it working finally. Had to have the battery in the whole time otherwise it just kept failing.
I am now rooted and nearly debloated! Thanks for the tips.
I have an extreme problem with my Nexus. I've been through thick and thin with this phone, and I'm hoping you guys will help with a solution to this problem.
The power button to my Nexus is broken completely. I stabbed it so much that the clicking black part is completely removed from the slot (on the motherboard).
One time, my Nexus S died, and I realized I had no way to turn it back on. I tried every single method (battery pulling, button pressing, USB connecting, etc) with no answer. I finally was able to find a solution. I used Odin to restore the bootloader tar md5 file, and thus auto rebooting the nexus (when the box is checked). This worked like a charm, until I realize I made a fatal mistake.
I chose an md5 file for the ORIGINAL Nexus S (not 4g).
I was able to easily go into recovery with Quick Boot from the Play Store. I installed Raspbean Jellybean (02-05-13 build), but the installation was very faulty. The home button is nonfunctional (it vibrates when pressed, but nothing happens) and Browser is not working as it just closes itself instantly. Like an idiot, I didn't install Gapps before rebooting into the ROM.
Stuck in that dilemma, I used the built in email app to sync my Gmail account to the phone. I sent a Quick Boot APK to myself to try and open so I could reach recovery, but it said there's no type of program that can open that file (maybe because Gapps isn't installed).
The last thing I tried was Odin again. I tried to restore the ICS release keys, but Odin will not recognize my phone anymore for nothing. I tried 3 different USBs (2 with shorts, and 1 normal one. I don't know if the type of USB has anything to do with it). Nothing.
So here I am with a faulty, Gappless ROM on my Nexus S 4G with a completely broken power.
I'm wondering if you guys have any solution/suggestion to get Odin to recognize my phone again so I can restore it and work from there.
Apart from that, ANY solution to this problem is highly acceptable and greatly appreciated (ways to get into recovery, etc). I don't want this to be the last of me and my sweet ole Nexus =(,
Thanks x1000 XDA!
Hey Guys. I was actually able to reach recovery, because the ROM I'm using has a Power Menu widget in it's quick settings (Go Figure). But my phone is still unable to be recognized by Odin in Download mode. The phone is also not recognized by my pc at all. It only charges, no matter what USB I try. I even tried mounting in recovery, no go.
Please help. Thanks!
Today, I finally managed to fix my Galaxy S GT-i9000 after bricking it last week. When it was restored I got android 2.2 and before this I had 2.3.6.
I restored it using Unbrickable resurruractor
And Heimdall One click
I restored to AT&T world phone firmware while I used to have the stock european dutch firmware
I'd like to address some issues I have with it. I have no doubt some of them are just some stupidities of android 2.2, but i'd still like them to be resolved as quikly as posible.
Tomorrow I wil try to update to 2.3.6
In the meantime i hope that somebody could help me with these issues.
Here's the list:
1.Sound isn't working. This includes games, music, ringtones, keypresses .ect (this one really irritates me)
2.I can't connect via USB. Whenever I insert the USB cable into my phone, it connects, to the PC for 2 Seconds, then shuts off and does nothing until I take
The USB cable out. I wanted to Get my original firmware back using Odin, but because of it, I can't do this.
And because of this i also can't recharge my phone
3. The back button (arrow on the right) functions as the home button (Black/White middle button) and the home button does nothing
4. The accelorometer is off, I tried recalibrating it, but that doesn't help.
5 I can't acces the recovery menu or download mode in any way
I hope that somebody can answer my questions or post a solution to my problem.
But because my phone doesn't charge it's just a race against the clock. I don't have acces to another Galaxy S so i can't use another battery.

Bump!
Hello!
I have a big problem with my Galaxy Tab 7.7. I got my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6800) rooted yesterday (worked very well) and then I have made a backup with ClockworkMod. This worked well too. Then I wanted to test the backup and I tried to restore the Tab. Unfortunately, during the restoring process the tab crashed (black screen), although there was still enough battery available. Since then the tab is dead. It can’t be turned on – I can’t get into the boot menu. When I plug in the charging cable nothing happens. My PC does not recognize anything when I connect it via USB.
For this reason, I wanted to ask if you think my tab can be saved (if so how?), or is it completely dead? What do you think?
Thank you very much in advance!
I am sure you already tried to keep it plugged in for minimum 15 minutes then hold power button for 15 secs? Or odin and kies? Did you wipe?
Sounds like bricked..
Hey guys, I hope you can point me in the right direction.
My son decided that he wanted to try and root his Galaxy using Odin. Nothing I would ever tell him not to do, but he is young and never fully reads through the directions of a good root process before beginning. It started off with a problem of only booting to a frozen battery icon, and never going any further. It would not even let you turn the phone completely off. It would simply reboot back to the battery sign which didn't budge. So he had the brilliant idea of trying Odin again, except this time, he left the Delete Partition checkmarked. While going through the process, his computer lost power, and of course the process was interrupted. Only now, the Galaxy Tab will not turn on at all. When we plug the tab into the computer,*Windowsstates that the USB device is not recognized. However it will let us in to the device file folder structure, although everything is empty. Is there anything that can be done with this machine, or is it simply Totalled?
Thanks for any help you can point me to.
