[Q] Completely Dead :( !! Wont power-on!

HI folks, I'm using Samsung galaxy i1550. I tried to root my phone using universal-androot and it was successful. After that i flashed clockworkmod recovery. And i thought of making a back-up of my current stock-ROM and there it was... my phone suddenly got blacked-out. Now i cant even turn-on my phone. I tried all the different possibilities like holding 'vol down+home+power', 'vol up+vol down+power', dint work .!! help me please
I insisted on posting this here because no one gave me a reply where it was actually posted. sorry

I am not familiar with that phone, but can you get a standalone battery charger for it? Maybe the battery is too dead to charge through the phone.

Wrong section.
Please re-explain what you mean. Are you bricked? Use better English please.

Thread moved to General.

I also have this problem. My tab got drained so when I got home, I plugged in the charger to the tab. Then I pressed the power button. So the tab opened but it hangs when the SAMSUNG logo is on the screen. I tried to wait it out for around 10mins but nothing happened, it remained in the SAMSUNG logo. So I tried holding the power button for 15secs to reboot but when it rebooted, the tab still hangs in the SAMSUNG logo.
Please help. I just bought this tab 3days ago. It is not rooted and so far I have installed only around 10 apps and games all from the market. Im not sure what caused this problem.

check in the development section under official firmwares post. there are official firmwares and instructions for odin. try to charge up battery as much as possible. a failed Odin flash could be a perma-brick. If you have Kies , I think there is an emergency software recovery option as well.

thanks for the reply dude. so im gonna have to flash this tab. i checked the instructions and all is good except for the ROM to use. there are 2 ROMs posted for the P6200. Im not sure which one i should use. I bought my tab here in Manila. All i know is that its a P6200 3g tab. Could i just pick anyone from the two?

The KK5 is the original firmware that the p-6200 came with . If you install that, as soon as you run it, it should be giving you the notification that an update is available . There will be 2 incremental upgrades and you will end up with KL1.
Or you can directly download the KL1 .

thanks dude! anyway im still thinking if i should flash this now or just bring it to Samsung for service. im afraid that if i flashed this, Samsung might say that ive been tinkering with it.

Before venturing yourself into flashing the stock rom why don't you try a factory reset from the recovery menu :
Turn off the tablet
Press at the same time the power button and the volume up button
As soon as you see the galaxy logo release the power button but keep the volume up pressed until the recovery menu pop up
Select the factory reset option using the volume button and confirm with the power button
I am pretty sure that it will fix your problem
Let me know how it goes

thanks dude!! the problem was fixed after the factory reset.
im still wondering though what caused the problem. ill probably try draining the battery again to see if this problem reoccurs.
thanks again!!!

successfully done p 6200

Hi all. I've had the same problem last month. My P6200's battery got drained and was kind of in a boot loop. I didn't know how to do a factory reset then so I looked online for a Samsung Service Center here in the Philippines. I was advised that my device was not covered by International Warranty as I bought it outside of the Philippines (I got mine in India) as only Samsung cameras have have international coverage. The guy still tried to flash it, however, it did not fix the problem. Now it just boot loops to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and does not reach the Samsung logo that it used to go to after that.
I'm trying to reset my tab but pressing and holding the power and volume up buttons don't work. Please advise what I can do. I don't want this device to go to waste.
Many Thanks!

ive also had the same problem duno wut to do anymore

Had bootloop problem too
Download Odin and the appropriate firmware for your region then flash it via Odin(turn off tab,press volum down and power until you go in download mode then connect the tab to pc,click pda on Odin,click start,wait to flash)
Good luck

i had the same problem before, when i restart my tab, it was stuck at samsung logo, i wait for 15m but still the same and then i connect to my laptop.
amazingly, kies can detect my tab, so i did backup, suddenly samsung logo disappeared and enter homescreen. maybe around 15m more after i connect to my laptop.
my suspect was the ADW laucher because there's no problem before i installed adw launcher and set it as default launcher.

[Q] Stuck at deleting cryption meta data

Hey guys,
Yesterday my Galaxy R (GT-I9103) was stuck at the BootUp screen (the Samsung and Galaxy R screen).
I googled around and found the "booting recovery" method. I got to the menu without Problems (Pwr + VolUp + Home) and used the "wipe cache" function. After rebooting the device I was stuck again on the Samsung logo.
Okay, back to the "booting recovery" for the factory reset. After the automatic reboot, guess what, Samsung logo again. After waiting for a while I restartet the device again and tried to enter the "booting recover". But instead of getting into the recovery mode I only get a message with "deleting cryption meta data".
So I searched and searched read threads and threads with similar issues but didn't quite find the right answer. So I decided to flash the phone and install the stock rom to the phone.
I found a pretty nice thread in your forums and the flash worked without problems:
here is what i used:
Odin3-v1.85
I9103XWLA4_I9103DRELA1_DRE.tar.md5 <- stock rom for Austria
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed
After installing the new stock rom the device rebootet and I got stock at the Samsung logo again and the "deleting cryption meta data" message still appears.
then I installed the Superuser which made difference.
Can you give me some advice how to proceed? I stumbled over the Galaxy R - Dead Repair, but since i had no chance to backup my /efs folder i didnt want to try this method.

This is a very interesting issue! I have never encountered that message. You can take EFS backup if you are in CWM as it has adb running by default (I have thought of risky situations.). Have you ever flashed ICS?

I know that XWLA4 is GB. I just asked if he has flashed ICS ever.

have you encrypted your device when you are using ICS if so then flash ICS again it should work....

I was stuck at the same issue couple of weeks ago. I managed to recover with a cwm backup of ics.
But had issues with reboot, stuck at Samsung splash screen, went to ssc as I had just a fortnight of warranty left. My motherboard was changed. All is well now. You can try and experiment to recover if you have breather time till warranty expires. Else take to ssc.

Hey guys,
sorry for the late reply but was pretty busy over the holidays .
I finally brought the phone back to life .
Actually it wasn't a big deal. Just flashed a new Kernel (some Aradat Version, dont know the exact number but I can check when I'm back on my other PC).
After flashing the new kernel the phone booted without further problems.

Great to hear that buddy.. Do change the title to [solved] so that if someone has a similar problem they'll be able to find the fix

[Q] Stock Boot Loop Need Help

Ok I have searched and found no answer to the problem I am having. So hopefully someone can help me out since there are alot of very intelligent people on here. So here is what im experiencing... I recently modded my phone to the CM10.1 and used it for a while and it was very nice to have but there were a few issuse that botherd me and im not complaining very good work. The thing that was bothering me was the audio glitch. I listen to music all the time and no matter what I used ie. IHeart Radio, Pandora, or my own audio files the audio was just to glitchy for me so I decided to flash it back to stock using Odin. Everything went great in that respect but now at random points my phone just shuts off and then goes into a boot loop with the samsung logo. Now I can get it to stop by pressing the power button a few times and it stops and boots right up as normal. It almost seems like it does it when I have a few things going on at the same time like listening to music and texting but i cant pin point what it actually making it do this. I also notice that I can have a full battery and once it boot loops sometimes the battery is the same and sometimes it comes back showing next to nothing. Just today it went from 100% battery, went to the boot loop, got it to boot back up but now the battery is at 11%. I have been dealing with this for a few days now and was wondering if anyone has heard of this problem and if so does anyone know of a solution? I thougth about flashing back to stock again using Odin but I dont want to mess the phone up even more. Thanks for your time.

You might have a bad flash or download.I'd try doing the 3 wipes and flash again it won't hurt it.I have had mine do some strange stuff before doing this always fixed my problems.Good luck.

Your intentions are good, but I think that all will be better served with a brand new thread. Otherwise, it gets confusing who's symptoms we're talking about. It might help to describe what you see when you try to use Odin. (And describe if you can get to recovery mode and to download mode.)

I had a hell of a time but I think I finally got it. I first formatted the internal and external SD cards. I flashed back to stock using Odin and did that about 3 times. Everything worked. But was having a problem with the Google play store I couldn't download any apparently I kept getting an error so I cleared the data and cache from the play store and the Google framework and rebooted the phone. I have been testing it out all day and so far no problems. I will keep posted of any changes problems... thanks again

[Q] Some major problems I am facing with Samsung Galaxy Y

About a week ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Y CDMA (SCH-i509). I used it for 2-3 days. Since I needed a more external memory, I exchanged my phone's sdcard with my father's sdcard which was 16 gb. I exchanged all the data using a computer but then, since almost all apps had been uninstalled, I decided to reset my phone. So I went into recovery mode and reset it. Then I started getting some problems. First, I noticed that the mobile wasn't getting locked. Pressing the power button just put the screen asleep. Then I noticed that the home button wasn't working. I could use it to make screen awake and take screenshots, but otherwise it just didn't do anything. Then I realised that all the calls were getting auto rejected, but it ala showed them as missed calls. I checked the settings but everything was alright. There were also many other problems like I can't watch any videos on my sdcard. I thought that while transferring the data, the videos might have got broken. But then I recorded a video and couldn't watch it too. Then I went to the browser and still couldn't stream videos but I could still watch videos on YouTube. I am also facing loads of other problems. Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how to tackle these problems?

I have reset it once but nothing happened. And as for flashing, it's really hard to find a custom ROM for this device.
