NEED HELP

few weeks ago i used Brk guide to root my transformer and unrooted it with nvflash because i was having problems with deep sleep.. no matter how long i pressed start button it wouldnt start so i went to my friend house and the moment i plugged my xformer to his comp and pressed power button it powered on with 0% on battery so i just charged it and unrroted after chariging it.
so i thought unrooting would solve my problems but even now im still having the problem that xformer turn off by itself and wont power... dunno what else to do.. also dont know if by using nvflash to unroot it everything is stock or not so i dont leave any trace that i rooted my tab.. please any suggestion is welcome

I used the stock-US 8.6.5.9 (for windows) nvflash ROM from here:
http://tabletroms.com/forums/transf...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html
The unit was wiped clean of any trace. My TF was RMA.ed without problem.

u had same problem as me?

got another question, i remember after i rooted my pad it said something like US 8.6.5.9 but now that i have nvflashed i says WW 8.6.5.9 how do i know what kind of tablet i got from US or WW. i bought from amazon USA

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) won't shut down after the latest firmware update

Hi. I hope this is the correct forum. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (10.1) won't shut down after the latest firmware update. I believe I had 4.2.1 and now I have 4.2.2. My device name is is GT-P5113. I plugged the Tab into my computer and Kies opened automatically. It said there was an update for my device so I updated.
All seems to be ok, but now when I choose to "shut down" the tablet shuts down and then cycles back on as if I had just pressed the power button to turn it back on.
I guess it could be worse - it could be refusing to turn on.
Is there a fix for this? Anybody else had this problem?
It is not rooted and I don't really want to do so.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I think u could wipe cache in stock recovery I would do that and see if that fixes it. Hold down vol up and power at the same time till the device reboots into recovery. Dunno how it is on the bigger ones but on the 7" I have to keeo holding the buttons for a second longer after the samsung gtab2 logo comes on to boot in to recovery.
Remember u dont want to factory reset just wipe cache

wipe cache
Thank you for the reply. I tried that and got an "error". I was able to get to recovery mode and choose "wipe cache". It begins and I get an error message.

I just uploaded 4 pics to a section of a website that I already have running.
Here is the link:
http://6thgraderocks.wix.com/galazyerror
The images show the end process of updating through Kies (I screen captured), the current tab info, the recovery screen and the error I get when I try to erase cache. Keep in mind, I am able to reboot and my tablet comes on like normal - no issues except when I try to turn it off - it comes right back on.

Did you try flashing pit?? did you flash jb bootloader ?? did your device be rooted before flash ?? were you on cm/aokp/pac/slim/etc ??? if yes whic h build did you flash black hawk next kernel ?? <--- may be it what caused it ---> did you try to downgrade to 4.0.3/4.0.4/4.1.2 if yes what happened what did you flash before going to stock rom like mod and etc ???? hope you answer these questions !!
also try this
enable usb debugging
turn off your tab fully
connect tab to pc pull a logcat dsmg ksmg and post them as txt or pastbin
does your tab stuck in recovery loop like rebooting always to recovery sometimes until you compeletly shut down the tab?
if it is under warranty return it to SAMMY TO FIX IT IT IS THEIR FAULT !!
i think it is not hard ware related don't worry !!

This tab is not rooted or tampered with at all. I have no desire to do so.

I have the exact same problem with BOTH my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Wi-Fi only) It's a software problem for sure...

Also flashing back to 4.1.1 or lower will eliminate the problem
Sent from my GT-P5113 using xda app-developers app

I know I could probably do that (flash back) myself, but I just don't want to. I have bricked a Kindle Fire before while trying to make it do what I wanted it to. I don't want to mess with this Galaxy - it does exactly what I want it to --- surf the web, Netflix/Hulu, and comic books - I'm not too complicated!
I spoke with Samsung yesterday and they said to try a hard reset. That did not work. I spoke with another rep this morning and they are going to repair or replace it for me. He sent a shipping label to my email. This was a gift and I have no receipt. I am VERY pleased with the service from Samsung.

So you're going to replace a perfectly good product with a software mistake? I've two tablets, unrooted, 4.2.2 with the same problem... Your better off waiting for a fix..

Why shoukd he feel burdened for something he had no control over. Samsung sent the update, iys not his fault its not doing what it should. If he wants to return it cuz it doesnt turn off as it should he has every right to do so. At least he didnt brick it and is expecting samsung to pay for it.

I had the same problem
Hello,
I registered here to just answer your question since I've been searching around on the internet as well for this problem. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 with version 4.2.1. I updated to version 4.2.2 and all hell broke loose. Before I get into it, I had a perfectly working tablet that never had any problems. I installed all updates through OTA or Samsung Kies. It's not rooted.
Anyway, after the update to 4.2.2 my tablet wouldn't turn on. I had to plug it into the wall outlet and then it finally turned on. After playing around with it, some of the widgets didn't work so I thought maybe I should turn it off and reboot it. When I chose "power off" it wouldn't turn off. Instead it would automatically restart. After trying several attempts it still wouldn't turn off so I contacted Samsung. They made me clear the cache and then wipe out the whole system and install a fresh copy of the software. The tablet then went black and now all that was shown on the screen was the little android bot with the error message like how yours is now. It wouldn't boot up to the main screen anymore.
So I had to return the tablet back to Samsung yesterday and they are going to attempt to fix it. It's still under warranty but I'll be pissed if I won't be able to install the new software on my tablet since I like the new updates they did for it.
Anyway, sorry for my long response but I hope this helps you out even though nothing was resolved. I'll post what happens once I get back my tablet.

Similar "Reboot after turn off" issue
I have the same "can't turn off" issue on my stock Tab 2 10.1 updated to 4.2.2 via Kies. After turning off and confirming on the screen, the tablet simply turns back on. This typically happens several times in a row before something happens and it stays off. I emailed Samsung to request support.

I had a live chat with Samsung just now. It is interesting that the tech I communicated with did not know of any issue with the rebooting and there was no mention in their system that a problem even existed (so I sent a link to this page to him).
Anyway, the end result was that it I wanted to fix the problem, I would have to restore Android through KIES:
samsung.com/us/support/faq/FAQ00052690/61266/GT-P3113GRSXAR
This will delete all data and get back to Android 4.2.1
Since I have already have seen issues with KIES, I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to just use ODIN? Any suggestions from those who might have tried both?

update #1
Just wanted to give an update. Samsung sent me an email yesterday stating they "fixed" my tablet. I should be getting back my tablet by the end of this week or early next week. The receipt said that it was a "software problem" and they reinstalled new software with the latest update. I'm just wondering if it's 4.1.2(that worked fine with my tablet) or 4.2.2(which messed up my tablet)
I'll give another update once I get it in my possession.

I tried this when I chatted with Samsung and it messed up my tablet completely where as when I rebooted my tablet it would show an android robot with "error"
Plus, I don't know about you but I don't want to have 4.2.1. I want to have the 4.2.2 update on my tablet. It's a much more sleeker interface. Just the only problem is that it wouldn't shut off. I will see what happens once I have it. If 4.2.1 is on my tablet I will try again updating the software to 4.2.2.

There are some problems like boot fail or can't poweroff I've seen at some posts, they do the same things:
1.flash a 4.2.2 stock rom
2.have some problems: boot fail or can't poweroff eg..
3.boot to recovery and want to wipe the cache
4.get a error with the robot logo lie down
I found a post mentions that he've fixed this problem by using odin 3.07 flash the 4.2.2 stock rom with a matched kernel boot file.
The post is here, it's in chinese:
http://b.it168.com/thread-4690107-1-1.html
His solution is get to this site to find the 4.2.2 stock rom and matched kernel file of your device and use odin 3.07 flash them:
http://samsung-updates.com/
do it at your own risk maybe solve your problem.

Update #2
So I got my tablet today and I turned it on to see that it had android software 4.1.1. Then the software update icon popped up and I updated to 4.2.2. Then the same problem happened again like the last time. The tablet wouldn't turn off and it would automatically restart. I contacted Samsung Support again and they had me do a factory reset which then fried my tablet again. It doesn't turn on. So now I have to send it back again for a 2nd time. This time they said they may have to replace the tablet either with the same tablet or a different model tablet. But I stressed to them to make sure to update the tablet this time to 4.2.2 so they can see the problem I'm facing. We shall see next week I guess what happens.

2 TF700 issues 1.freezes and reboots 2. Power button turns off tablet

Hi guys I recently install Cyanogenmod onto my Asus TF700 and now every time I go to the main screen which is the home screen I get to use the tablet for a tiny bit and then it freezes and then reboots! Also everytime I press the sleep button/power button the tablet shuts down without a question. I previously had CROMI and nothing like this occurred. Does anybody know of a fix or has the same issue?
I have TWRP latest version and yes my Asus is unlocked. Please help me out here

Looks like you are using an old bootloader, it must be 10.6.1.14.x.

[Q] Bricked Asus MeMo Pad ME172v

Hi Everyone. You can't imagine how frustrated i am right now.
I was watching a movie, then suddently the Memopad went off. Since then, When I tried to turn it back on, It just shows the asus logo blinking on and off. Like on an infinite reboot cycle. And if i press the + and - volume keys at the same time, it will go into download mode. (An android with a workers helmet, and it says "Ready for Download")
So the thing is... is it possible to flash the stock rom from a pc to the tablet? Like when you use Odin on samsung phones. Because i tried with the hard reset file. It did not work, and obviously an update OTA is impossible
I'm going nuts about this!

hello alejo65, im sorry about your frustration. i have tried to look up a possible way to get back to stock on your device but all i seemed to have found is this https://www.mediafire.com/folder/23ycdy8i4f8mu/ASUS-me172v im sure odin will not work with your memopad since its made for samsung devices only.

Yes..I found that same link. But since there's no way to even get the bootloader I wouldn't know what to do with all those files.
I don't wanna give up on this one. The warranty has expired i think... Any other idea crossing your mind?

might be able to send it to them for repairs, if you can only access download mode i dont think they can see if you rooted your device, is there a trip/flash counter?

PLEASE HELP! Tablet shows black screen at startup and then hangs, no boot BRICKED

Hi thanks for reading, I will tell you as quick as I can
Basically I got this Allwinner A31 Tablet Q102 and wanted to root it and flash it when I got it, so I got it only a week ago, week ago from tommorow.
I managed to root it with VRoot and then attempted to install CWM because ROM Manager would say that it isnt supported. So after tons of research I took the method of rooting an Onda tablet which was to use the ADB. I got the Recovery.tar extracted the files inside it and then did the
adb push /data/recovery.img
And stuff like that
After I did all that it told me to hold the VOL+/POWER to enter CWM, I held it for like 1 minute until CWM showed and it was working. CWM version was 6.0.2.7 I think. So I was like oh ok its working now. So then I rebooted the system using the first option CWM gave me. After it turned off it didnt turn back on. So I turned it on manually and all I see is a blank BLACK screen. Thats it. It hangs and does nothing. Cant enter Recovery, safe mode, the USB is not recognized. Infact it doesnt even connect anymore.
If I hold the power button, it turns off then once I let go it turns back on doing the same thing.
Please help me as I only just got the Tablet and can't afford to lose it. Theres too many files I need to keep, only some were moved to the SD card.

Hi, thanks for the replay, the business wouldnt replace it but they offered to have a look, I know its bricked so there is no point sending it there. I hear you can fix it in Phoenix Suite but I cant find the firmware for it.
Btw what should it be in, I had trouble sorting it lol

Took ages to find out, but its called an Allwinner Q102 something with YBC, Ive heard of a similar one called Allwinner A31s Yonestoptech and was also a Q102

Hey,
What's up with your tablet? I own the same model and was thinking about installing cyanogenmod, but I have no idea yet. Have you managed to figure something out, or found any way to repair it?
Cheers!

flash ??
Try to flash the stock ROM.......

Nah man, I can't do anything with it. Turn it on just a black screen. Holding the volume down button then pressing Tue power button a couple of times makes my computer detect the tablet. But nothing else.
I cannot enter CWM, after I flashed CWM it said Can't mount boot.IMG can't Mount this and that and then I restarted it and it happened.
SO DONT FLASH ANY CWM OR ROMS ON IT.
I really want the tablet fixed man. What the hell do I do?

@addy187a - Did you get it done?
I have the same problem.... - I installed successfully twrp, did a backup, wiped and tried to install another rom - failed. Now I am not able to boot into recovery - it is black, not recognized by the system (so I can't use imageburntool).
It starts, is black illuminated, nothing happens, only power is possible
my device: Fusion5 F5CS 32GB, Q102, 32GB
..no idea what to do...

Hey, I know I'm 1 year late to reply but I only just logged in to XDA since ages! I know right? Anyway, the way I fixed it was to download the firmware for the tablet which I found out by keeping a note about tablet model number (Settings> About device> Model) and spent a couple minutes searching for the firmware for it. Then I used Phoenix suite or just Phoenix can't remember what it was called to flash the tablet. There are plenty of YouTube videos and instructions on the web of how to use it, I can't remember how I did it as this was over a year and a half ago! It's as simple as that and words cannot describe how relieved I felt after reviving it. If an admin sees this, please close the thread. I'm still finding out how to use this site.
