I cannot seem to get my gtab to boot anymore. I was in the middle of flashing it a week ago and I hit the power button in the middle of the process, and it shut off. I have been unable to boot it beyond a black screen since then.
I tried to put cwmod on the microsd card and hold power + volume up while booting but nothing happens.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
Yeah - I bricked mine as well trying to get rid of the birds. Will post link to my fix shortly.

Awesome, thanks guys nvflash did the trick!
help!
I had a very similar issue but I don't see how nvflash will help. My tablet refuses to load at all after a failed rom attempt. I don't get the load screen and I definitely can't do the power + volume button reset.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Note that nvFlash is power - volume, not power + volume that's used to get into recovery mode. while using nvflash, you need to have tablet to be connected to the pc in order to run nvflash. when power - volume is pressed, screen appears to be turned off on the tablet, until you run nvflash.bat on pc to push the stock rom. Hope that helps..
The black screen after the "birds logo" or even when you power on and don't get the logo is when the tablet is stuck in APX mode. It is hard to tell the difference between tablet off and tablet on in apx mode.
The best thing to do is plug in USB to the PC and see if the tablet shows up as a device (check device manager on Windows). If there is nothing popping up in Dev. Manager then try pressing the power button again to turn it on. Even though the screen still looks off, the device should come up and you can access it with nvflash.
As others have said, using nvflash to get back to stock, or even just flashing CWM recovery will sometimes work.
Hello,
I am really annoyed because I cannot turn off my Xoom.
I was stupid enough to accept OTA when I was on Custom ROM (TIAMAT) and I am now stuck with 99% battery at the green droid + exclamation mark.
I can press for minuts on the power button, nothing happens.
Cannot access with adb neither fastboot!
What can I do?

Can you make it reboot by pressing volume up and power at the same time and holding? If it reboots, wait about 3 seconds once you see the dual core logo and then tap volume down you should see android recovery, then tap up to choose it. I hope you did a nandroid backup. If not, you can try and get fastboot by tapping volume down sooner after it reboots.
You saved my Xoom!
Thank a lot, dude.
I will add this to the Q&A thread.
Thanks Okantomi.

HY,you need to press home+power+volume down,but you need to do this when your phone is shut down.When you feel a vibration let go the power button and keep holding volume+home till you get to recovery(CWM) and proceed to backup/restore click backup,and youre done.PLEASE PRESS THANKS IF I HELPED YOU!!!!!
Thanks for the reply! I did the Volume Up + Home + Power button and release the Power once the Samsung S3 logo comes up (I've disabled the startup vibration). Once I do this, it takes me to this screen where the Android bot has fallen down and a red triangle with an exclamation mark is placed on top of it. There are options to do reset, flash, update from ex. sd card but NO option to do back up .... Next to the Android bot, there is a text that reads Multi-CSC successfully done.

HY,do you have CWM recovery installed as it should on your android device?
Yep. I went to the Google Play store and downloaded the CW ROM Manager. Before this, I did root my phone using a method suggested in this thread earlier, via ODIN.
Am I missing something that I had to do?
Appreciate your replies!

HY, you can remove the red triangle by going to play store and download triangleaway apk from CHAINFIRE.I think that it should work,but if it doesnt do what you did before to get to the recovery that gave you the red triangle and press again power button +volume up,on moust devices this works.
Dear all,
If you haven't updated it, don't do it.
My situation now is:
1. It stucks at the red dual core logo; (I think it shouldn't be called a boot loop)
2. It can't be powered down; (even I press and hold the power button forever!)
3. If I reboot it, I can still press the -vol button to choose between modes, but there are one 3: NvFlash; RSD; and fastboot. No "android recovery" option.
As of now, I put it into Nvflash mode so that the screen will not keep shining with the red logo.
May anyone suggest how I could unbrick it, or the worst case, reinstall everthing to stock?
Thanks very much for your help!

If you lost recovery then you need to ADB into the unit to force it into recovery (if you don't know what I'm talking about get a friend who does).
In either case you will need to have the developer tools installed on a computer and connect via USB to be able to flash Stock Rom via fastboot.
Back to EOS4 203 build!

Dear Guys,
Thanks you for your opinions.
1. I would like to flash back to 203. Would any one care to give me some step by step guides how to do that, given my situation, being stucked at the start up and couldn't go into recovery?
2. If I have a friend who is so technically superb, I wouldn't have to come up here to ask for help. As I always think here is where the genius gather.
Looking forward to a solution. Thanks again for all of you who cares.
re-install earlier ROM

Try the power + vol up +vol down reboot... this should get you to a bootloader screen, from there you can select recovery and that should allow you to re-install the 203 nightly. BTW... the problem was noted in the developer forum soon after the 204/205 file were posted.
ADVICE:: you might want to review any files in the forum before jumping on any upgrade.
if the above doesn't work then try -
Re-install your recovery - using the same steps that originally were used to root and install a recovery.
You may have to use ADB to push the files out to the device. (do a search for adb in this forum, or perhaps root kit)
With this it should be simple to recover.
I was fortunate that I was able to return to recovery and install 203 with no issues other than a anxious moments wondering what I did wrong
hope this helps
Hi guys,
I've got a replica of a Galaxy Note 2 5 months ago. It worked alright till today, when I turned it off to replace the battery and it never loaded back.
It's rooted. When I try to enter recovery mode, only the dead droid with the red triangle appears.
I've changed the battery again. Waited for a long time, but it never passes the samsung logo.
Can someone help me with it?

So the problem is caused by the battery change? It never happened before. Anyway, thanks for trying to help. Unfortunately, when i'm on that screen with the red triangle, nothing happens. I've tried lots of combinations of the hard buttons, but no menu appears. Is there an specific order of pressing, or time? Can you give me detailed information on the process?

Well, no success. I turn on the phone holding v up + power. It starts with a "recovery msg" below. Then it enters the screen with the red triangle. On that screen, nothing happens. I did as you told, and tried the following combinations: v up + power, v down + power, v up + home + power, and v down + home + power, for 20 seconds each try, and still, the same screen, no menu, no msg.
I have to mention again that it's a fake galaxy note 2, not a real samsung one.
Any other directions?

HY,the recovery that you went in was the stock,you said that you are rooted,and i assume you also have a custom recovery,where you flash roms,kernells,etc.I suggest that you should press v up +power+home,and release all 3 when the device model appears(galaxy note 2),if you can reach that make a backup of the device,and after you did it delete cache,dalvik from recovery and restore he backup.

Well, I remember using only a windows software to root. "Super One Click" if I'm not mistaken. The process was really simple, and i didn't do anything other then some clicks to root. No rom, kernell, backup or other stuff. It was simple, so that's why I did it.
About the phone, releasing the buttons still takes me to the red triangle screen. Using the v down instead of v up takes me to factory menu. The volume buttons only navigate through the options, but nothing selects them.

Well, as I told the post before, nothing selects any of the options on factory mode. Volume just navigates, and that's it. Power or home don't do a thing. I don't have a "fastboot" option on the menu either. I'm starting to give up. Any more ideas?
Just one advice, dont buy fake phone
