theres a diff btw recovery mode and download mode ok
Secondly plz unplug charging before trying to get into either modes
So to go to download mode close tab completly then press and hold on vol down with power untill screen appears then realeas both and click vol up thats it
To go to recovery mode shut off tab completly then press and hold vol up and power once screen appears leave power but continue holding vol up untill screen goes off then release vol up and wait a second and u will be in recovery mode
Here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fMk0PhA_qc

Hit thanks button if helped

i tried doing that but nothing happens, it just shows charging icon, btw, i 've done this before, i mean going to download mode when i first root my tab 2, but now when im planning to upgrade my firmware i can't go to download mode. i think there's problem with my tablet? what you think? im going on download mode not connected to usb or charger.
its kinda irrelevant, but its just strange things with my tablet, when discharged, the battery icon, shows the x sign, when i turn off my tablet, shows charging state even if im not charging..

How did you root the phone? Did you wipe the phone before installing? Which rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Thanks because I know you want to help but I thing that these does not have resolve . When I installed a the ROM I didnt clear the data or something I just put the phone on recovery mode and then find the ROM and installed it. My phone do not want to put on recovery mode :S. Is there another way to put your phone on recovery mode because I cant and also it does not boot.
flash official rom
Hi
look 1st of all tell the name of the rom that u flashed, and whether it is rooted or not,
if it is official rom without rooting, yellow triangle should not be there, and if you have rooted the phone or if there is any custom ROM, then either you can go for triangle remover, look into the gt-i9100 forum, how to remove triangle, you will find it or either you can go for USB JIG, that u have to purchase, if u r from INDIA and i don't know whether it is allowed or not in this forum, u can share ur no if need to come out on urgent basis.

[Q] Xperia Go Wont Turn

Hi! Im fairly new to android, last night I tryied to update my CWM from version 5 to tuch version 6.
I did this through CWM > flash sip from sd card. It said completed however when the phone rebooted it was stuck at an illuminated black screen.
I tried shutting down the phone but it doesn't respond. It stayed on that screen all night until the battery drained.
I can't enter fastboot, flash mode or even turn it on. When the USB cable is plugged in, it just shows the red light.
Help! How can I bring this phone back to life?
android is like playing with lego ..

I am experiencing the same problem too. I can find the attach file on your post
Hi thanks for the advice, I have a copy of the ROM you mentioned. Problem is, that my battery is drained. NOT CHARGING. Even if I leave it for hours in wall socket, red led turns on, then turns off after a few minutes. Thus, I cant enter fastboot (blue light) or flash mode(green light). I read somewhere that witouth a working kernel, the phone just wont charge the battery. Do you know a way to charge an embedded battery without the kernel?

Still waiting for my phone to charge, or find a way to charge my phone without the kernel.
But hey; here's the link for the V13 ROM: http://d-h.st/Qyc
Although I'm not using Xperia go, I can't turn on my Xperia Ray as I was flashing it to Android 4.2 but I accidentally exited CWM halfway and I can't reenter it, I don't know why, I tried key combinations but it won't go into CWM. It only shows the logo "SONY" and won't move anywhere. Help please, is there anyway i can revive the phone ?
Just charge it after flashing kernel (only) . Kernel flash takes about two three seconds and then battery would charge too

Get it repaired (talk to your phone company about this e.g. Sony), i think its the only way to fix your phone.:thumbup:

No need to worry you have not hard bricked. The problem is with your ace+ power button. If you have warranty then go to service center they can fix it. If you are out of warranty then you can go to a local mobile repair shop and ask there for repair of power button.
I saw the same issue on my friend's ace plus and replacing the power button worked.

[Q] Help 10.1 stuck at Samsung logo!

Hi, my Samsung note 10.1 is stuck at the start logo. I googled it and looked at solutions on this site but my situation seems more hopeless than others I've read about. Firstly, I have never rooted this and it should be running ICS. I had left my (working) tablet for about 10 hours and tried to activate the screen when I picked it up. I pressed the power button which gave me the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo which stayed on the screen and wouldn't budge but when I held the power and volume buttons, it would go off after 4 or five seconds only to come on again. I have looked at these and other forums and have tried a hard re-set but I just get the same logo appearing again and again. I couldn't actually turn it off, so I opened it and disconnected the battery. This has made no difference. I removed the SD card while I tried every permutation of pressing buttons but all to no avail. Please help. Is this now permanently dead? I would love to do a re-set and don't care about losing stuff but that doesn't work.????
Thanks for reading this....

When you press the On/Off + Volume Up buttons at the same time you need to hold them until the writing shows up. Once you see the Samsung logo then let the buttons go. If you release the buttons before that the device will just do a regular boot instead.

I have the exact same issue, stuck at screen, also just got it yesterday. I believe it is due to kitkat OTA, as I was running 4.1.2 and was not planning to update. I think the tablet somehow updated itself.
---------- Post added at 01:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------
I also tried flashing various recovery, including the stock recovery, TWRP, CWM. The furthest I get to the recovery is the android boot logo, and it reboots back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" logo screen
I think it would be fine if I can hard reset the device, but no dice for now.
Going to try flashing older 4.1.2 rom later. Hope that works.

Thanks for this, it would explain why my 10.1 suddenly became useless without me doing anything to it. I've read that the KIt Kat update was only made available to the wi-fi and 3G versions and that installing it on the Wi-Fi only could brick it!
Can you point me in the direction of a guide to trying what you've done? Otherwise this is going back to Samsung to fix for silly money, no doubt.
Turn off the tablet completely. Then, press the Volume Up and On/Off buttons at the same time for a few seconds until you see the writings come up (most likely the Samsung logo). As soon as you see the writings let the buttons go. That will get you into the Recovery mode. Do a Factory Reset and reboot.
You have to set up everything after doing this but at least you'll get your tablet back.

Nope, apparently after asking around , mosts owners that bricked their device this way, can't enter recovery mode. It just shows the android logo that supposedly leads to the recovery option for a few secs, and restarts. I think its an issue with the new bootloader 4.4 is bundled with, that only afflicts a small number of devices. I even have a colleague at work that had the same problem after auto updating, but somehow after multiple reboots getting stuck at the logo screen, it now works properly, and boots up with 4.4 instead of the previous os.

It just shows the android logo that supposedly leads to the recovery option for a few secs, and restarts. I think its an issue with the new bootloader 4.4 is bundled with, that only afflicts a small number of devices. I even have a colleague at work that had the same problem after auto updating, but somehow after multiple reboots getting stuck at the logo screen, it now works properly, and boots up with 4.4 instead of the previous os.

Nope, thats my colleague's tablet. At my workplace, most use note 10.1 tablet, so i had a generous sampling. Most upgraded without incident, but some, like me and a few others, are all suffering the same issue. All within weeks of the kitkat update rollout i my country.

I still don't know why you can't get into the Recovery mode with the Vol. Up + On/Off?
Do you hold the buttons until you see the logo comes up or you let it go before that?

I have been using custom and stock recovery on my almost 2 year old note 10.1. Pretty sure I did not make a mistake pressing it, its just that the recovery mode loads and fail. I see the android recovery logo for a sec or two, then it reboots before showing the recovery menu. So this boot loop prevents most people from reseting/wipe from the recovery menu.
But its rather nonsensical to assume a guy who knows how to flash custom recovery on his almost 2 year old note 10.1 doesn't know how to enter the recovery mode, don't you think?

I agree. Well, I couldn't find any information regarding your situation. Sorry pal. I wish you luck.
I think that I can tell you an old experience I had. I was on stock Jelly Bean. It wasn't this type of a problem but maybe it might help somebody. Here's what happened:
I was using my tablet in the afternoon and I pressed the power button to close the screen. Then I left. After a while I came back and tried turning on my tablet. It wasn't turning on. It wasn't reacting to anything. Neither the power button, nor the charger. I searched online and found out that you could hold your finger on the screen while pressing the power button. And guess what! My tablet showed the charging screen. Then I just booted normally. My tablet was just like before!

Same problem!!!
I have been all over for days on this. I can get into odin mode, but it absolutely will not go into recovery mode. I ran Odin3 v3.0.7 and twrp, no luck, would just lock up. I ran Odin3 3.10.7 and sammmobile factory firmware. This says Pass! but it still just hitches at the title screen. I can't even get it to turn off. Only way is to run it dead or unplug the batt internally. Please help? Is there nothing I can do?

I'm coming for two years with the same problem as you, and I have not found a solution in any forum. I'm losing hope
