[Q] Help! My note 10.1 was bricked !!

hi,
I got a secondhand Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) with Android Honeycomb version a few days ago.
To upgrade android OS version from honeycomb to jellybean with official ROM,
I entered Odin mode and saw the product name was "GT-P7570".
Even if the product name shown on Odin mode was GT-P7570, I flashed the official ROM to my note 10.1,
because the model number displayed on the Note 10.1's "About device" menu was "GT-N8000".
Anyway. my secondary note 10.1 seems to be bricked. (dose not turn on, enter Odin mode, and see charging icon while charging with AC adapter.)
I heard that there are three types of brick mode ("hard brick", "soft brick", and "coma brick"), and I don't know what kind of brick my note 10.1 encountered. Are there any ways to fix my note 10.1 ?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
You need to know what the product is first . Honeycomb is a very old OS .
A guess this is either not the Note or its been flashed with old Tab Firmware or other non Note/Tab firmware .

Yeah, and somebody may have altered the build.prop to make it Seem as if its a Note 10.1. Sounds like Sounds like You May have been cheated. Does your Tab have a Pen in the bottom right corner? If not its a galaxy tab 2 10.1...
Sounds like a Galaxy Tab 10.1. Especially if it came with honeycomb.

Yep, the Note 10.1 came Natively with ICS. Never had honeycomb. That was the previous generation of tabs...

The seller said that the initial version sold in germany, (my second Note 10.1) has no S Pen slot.
At that time of purchase, the S Pen came with the note 10.1 separately.
When i search on the internet, in my case, there is no way to fix my Tap with software manner.
The only way for fixing is to change the mainboard of my TAP with extra charge :crying:
Should i call Samsung to fix my Tap or is there any other ideas?
I'd take it back and demand my money back as it was sold under fraudulent circumstances. No note 10.1 was sold without spen, that was its main selling point. If it happened here in Oz, if it wasn't either replaced or refunded I'd go to dept of consumer affairs.
At the very least they can pay to get it fixed as you have tried to upgrade on the premise that it was a Galaxy Note 10.1, not the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
If you bought it privately there may be not much you can do but if its a store I'd be making sure I got my money back.
Samsung will probably charge more than your not a Note is worth .
But if you can identify the product it may be possible to recover .

Samsung don't fix TAPS you need a plumber for that!
Couldn't resist.

When you flash firmware that was intended for another device,your device will be bricked.
Only solution is motherboard replacement.

newbie question

So i've never rooted a phone before, all i've done is activate the developeralternative and set 1 on bakground processes cause it's so slow. Still like the phone, don't wanna change.
However now comes the question. A lot of important apps like bank apps and such says my android version will not work anymore in the latest update.
Will the android version "get upgraded" if i root the phone? Sorry for being completely stupid.
I saw before lots of different download packages for S2 plus but i have no clue what to get, i have the samsung galaxy s2 plus 19105 version.
Thanks!
:bump: anyone??? Or do i need to get a new phone?
Better buy a new phone. The development is dead

Different firmware for a Samsung tablet

Hey there, I recently found out Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 will get a DeX mode and thought about how to get it on the previous flagship tablet of Samsung - Tab S3. I have one and I really think that DeX mode will be a nice thing to have on a tablet with a pen. We all know, that Samsung can add that feature later like it did with S9 camera functions on S8 with last firmware update. So there is the question: is it possible to install a Tab S4 firmware on a Tab S3? They have different screen ratio but that must be all differences out there. Maybe hardware home button also. I read about installing different firmware on Android tablets but often people said something like "the devices must be nearly identical to use the same firmware" and all that stuff. But really, the only thing that is really alarming me is the software buttons on Tab S4. I think they will float there for no reason if it si possible to install Tab S4 firmware on Tab S3. If you know something about a different firmware on Android device, please, tell me. Thanks.

It is possible to flash a firmware from a different device but they have to be of the same hardware chipset. For example, some models of US versions of Galaxy S3 can share each others firmware, but the S4 cannot use the S3 firmware.
But, generally speaking(95% of the time or more) flashing a firmware from a different device results in a hardbricked device. This is mostly due to differences in bootloader and modem. I have a Galaxy S3 SCH-S968C(Straight Talk) that can use the custom ROMs from the SCH-I535(Verizon) because they are virtually the same device BUT the SCH-S968C CANNOT flash the SCH-I535 stock firmware, it results in a hardbricked device, even though they are the exact same device.
There is no definitive answer to your question other than it is "possible" to use another firmware. But it is ALWAYS a special case scenario because you have to research the devices in question to see exactly how similar they are or are not.
There are cases of devices from one country being used in another country by flashing the firmware from the country the device is being used in, but it is not possible on ALL devices.

Samsung Pay - Does it work for you?

Hey all, i have a quick question for you: Does Samsung Pay work on your note 10 lite?
I'm from the US and I bought my sm-n770f/ds on ebay. When setting up my phone, Samsung Pay came preloaded on my device and works flawlessly for me personally. However, I'm reading reports of note 10 lite devices not having Samsung Pay pre-installed at all, with the phone reporting that it's not supported by Samsung Pay when trying to install it after the fact.
Did your device come with it pre-installed? Are you able to use it? I'd like to get to the bottom of why some of these devices just don't have it.
Notr10 lite是可以使用samsung pay
EU Baltic Region...not worked for me? but Im not using it...period
Just in case
i think i have vastly overestimated how many people actually own this phone lmao

Can The Note 8 Do call and message continuity?

I've tried everything. To my knowledge that seems to be available to get this INSTALLED on Note 8 via these mirror links for the actual app.
Firsr things first. No I AM NOT on [Verizon].
I use T-Mobile and I purchased the phone from T-Mobile.
My Note 8 is on Android 9 though. Now that can make a difference for sure I know.
I know its old and the newer phones all support the feature built in. So, I am asking.
Has any person gotten it installed onto a not work and managed to get it to work through something new like Galaxy S7 - S5.
I have the Galaxy S7+, thia feature would be essential for me when I'm using the tablet.
Also, my S7+ is Wifi only, no Cell 4G/5G.
I've seen a post where a guy said he "Installed"
Call & Message Continuity
Does this even work on Android 9?
Help?
Really. No one has any kind of answer?
