[Q] Possibly bricked my tab 2 10.1 trying to install CM10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I have a at&t Tab2 10.1 3g that i tried to install CM10.1 on. I downloaded the nightly rom for 5100 and flashed it to the tab, then flashed the gapps afterwards. I have CWM recovery on my tab. After the choosing to reboot, the tab never rebooted, just a black screen. I've read that maybe fully charging it with the wall charger will help out, I think I was only at around 20% when I was doing all the updates, not sure if that has anything to do with it either. But while I'm waiting for the tab to charge back up, has anyone have any suggestions if it doesnt power up in the morning for me? I'm pretty sure I did everything correctly since I have a S3 that still works perfectly fine.
Worst case scenario, its either send it in to Samsung to get fixed, or try out the mobiletechvideos guys. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
BTW, I also tried holding the power by itself and also power + vol- for over 30sec with no luck either.

Why? I mean your model number is SGH-I497, why you came on such a foolish idea to flash a 5100 ROM to your SGH-I497? Thats totaly different Tabs...
....OH and your Tab is Hardbricked.

There is no custom rom for the i497. I have looked. If you can boot to CWM I have the stock rom backed up. I also dumped my rom, but it isn't in a odin file. So you might be SOL unless you can find a dev willing to work with it.

yea, guess I misunderstood when I thought I read that the att 3g version was the same as th 5100 version

Yea, my tab doesnt even turn on anymore. I just misread everything thinking mine was the same as the 5100 because of the 3g.

That was in reply to Oditius's comments.

It's a shame, Sorry I can't help, if you can't get into CWM or download mode that is unfortunate. I was going to try the Tmobile rom, but decided to pass. They would be closer than any other. But no LTE service with it... I will just wait till a dev picks up a i497 and creates one.

All good, thanks for a quick response though. Looks like I'm just going to have to shell out the money and send it out to mobiletechvideos to have them do the jtag work on it.

good question - on one hand, I would think so, as the difference would be just in the SIM card. but on the other hand, there could some VZW info on the custom ROMs that may not jive with a non-VZW phone.
I'll defer to someone with more experience.
sorry I could not be of any help on this.
The US Cellular Galaxy S Aviator, despite being the same phone, was not compatible with the recovery from this phone, and without that, you're getting nowhere. Back when the Aviator came out, someone was able to get a copy of the stock Odin from the phone, and imnuts used that to build a CWM recovery for it so superuser could be flashed. Something similar could probably be done here, but I wouldn't know where to start.
Having the version from the software might be helpful. I know the Aviator versions are different than the Charge. If the Lightray is the same as either, there is a chance that the recovery is the same as the matching phone, but even that is no guarantee. If you can't get the stock Odin to recover from, you'll probably be risking a brick to find out.

HELP! Is Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G 'unrootable'??
I have tried three different techniques, to root the Samsung Galaxy S Lightray 4G Metropcs, all to NO AVAIL!
My first feeble attempt was using SuperOneClick=softbrick ie, stuck on download screen,
Then I tried the basic Odin flash, with stock uckk4 ROM=Odin stuck in 'set up, battery died while waiting, as 'NOT to turn off Target'=softbrick,
and last but by no means least, the Droid Charge technique=hardbrick
HELP!!! I have scoured the net and can find NOTHING that has proven to be successful!
To make matters worse, it's not even my phone! I was trying to help my brother in law, since he and my sis are moving out of state, California, and are going to need to sign with different server once they've passed Texas, I believe, on their way to South Carolina.

You'll need a custom recovery, and as far as I know, there isn't one for the Lightray. I don't think any devs even have the phone, either. The only real chance is to get a stock Odin image and the source to someone who knows how to work with recoveries.

I haven't found one who did, although, I thought maybe (I could be really wrong) that you could cross boot CM 10.1 of another device with similar specs. It could be an option
Anything going on with the Galaxy Lightray?
They just dropped the price to $99, going to get one for my wife since I broke her phone last night. I see a root for it, but no roms.
thanks.

Nope, tried that one before it bricked with ODIN....Trouble is, still no recovery ROM and it's nearing 2 since it's release. Here I STILL sit with a R940 with less then a couple months talk time on it! Phhhffffffffffffttttttttttttt

Unbrick

So yesterday I was running cm9 and I decided to flash a different Rom so I went onto recovery and wipe the phone and then went ahead and flashed
The redemption rom. I went ahead and waited for about 10 minutes to see if it works reboot the samsung logo came on last for like 2 seconds then the screen went blank. So now I into Odin to see if I could flash the Stock image.. when I tried that the first step goes through then I go to the second step and it fails. Here are some pics of my computer and my phone. Please help.

Never ever do that, get your sources from here, you might have repartioned your phone which is not recoverable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 go here and scroll down to return to stock.
L710 is the model number of the Sprint GSIII. Hopefully you can get it back with section 2 of the link posted above.
If that doesn't work use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 and it will unbrick your phone.
It looks like your are right ... I wanna thank you for pointing out that I was trying to install the sprint version and not the Verizon version. What relief... Thank you again.

Glad you got it working again. Just so happened to recognize the L710 model number from modifying the build.prop to get Google Wallet working. Always be sure that anything you flash for the Galaxy SIII is for the Verizon specific I535. They all look the same but can put you up #(*%*'s creek if you're not careful. I'd suggest avoiding anything that's not specifically in the Verizon Galaxy SIII sub-forums.

[Q] Help!

hey guys i just recently bought and unlocked my skyrocket...the phone has been working great for a couple weeks now the battery randomly shuts off and i get a black screen with a vibrate when trying to boot phone up. I installed the Juggernaut ROM onto this phone and it works like a charm. I even bought a new battery and it worked for a day and now back to square 1. I even tried my battery from SGS 4G and that started the phone. What exactly is wrong? Rom or battery?

Are the battery contacts all dirty, bent, or something look wrong with them?
Restoring to stock makes no change meaning that the problem is with the phone itself or something. Maybe you had messed it up by doing something wrong while flashing or... ))
I think what better for you is that you should contact your carrier and have them replace your phone. This will not be a problem as you've just got it.
Just tell them exactly what happens to the phone, but don't tell them that the phone used to be rooted.
When you got your replacement, pm me inbox, I'm gonna show you how to install CMW, and then go straight ahead to Jelly Bean which is the ROM I'm running right now. Since you said your phone was unlocked, I think even if you use your stock ROM, you still are able to use T-Mobile SIM card or any others. ( But I was told by an ATT agent that the phone needed to be used at least 3 months or something in order to get the code to unlock it)
The reason I'm using custom ROMs is that I can do a wifi tether whenever I want, and be able to run the most recent Android version as soon as it is released.

[Q] Can I return my Galaxy s3?

Hi all, First post on here hope everyone is nice. So I rooted my s3 played around with wickeds rom and liked it alot! Then I saw Synergy came up with the multi window rom so I flashed that! Everything worked great except wifi was not turning on. I saw someone say you need to unlock bootloader and reflash. So...
I used ez unlock to unlock bootloader
I pressed reboot into recovery
AND.... Bricked.. I think.
Can this be fixed? Most people who brick their phones by flashing to a wrong rom but not in my case. The phone wont turn on and wont go into download mode.
WHAT CAN I DO? can i call samsung and tell them that the screen stopped working or something? Its a 2 week old phone!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
U can search for hardbrick solution, i think there is a way to reflash bootloader. If not take it to samsung, maybe they won't see what u did.

[Q] N8020 Custom Roms?

HI.
Are there any custom roms for N8020?
Why do seem to find all goodies for N8000 and N8010, however N8020 not much.
I know being the LTE, obviusly has a different radio, but what seems to be the hold up with compiling CM or Omega or any other of the big roms for the N8020?
I am a software developer by trade, and if there are no port of CM or OMEGA to N8020, I would like to get involved to make it happen. Could someone guide me in the process?

Basic answer NO .
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search/forum/1739?query=n8020
4.4.2 is the last release of stock firmware for N8020 .
Development is mostly dead for this model and many links no longer exist .
