First download : http://www.4shared.com/zip/Uj3mr3gL/ICS_ROOT_RECOVERY.html
Just unpack , connect your phone and click run.but......good luck !

It doesn't work for me Is there another way to hard reset my phone ?

recovery from 4.0.3 has a bug on SLCD-screens: screen is too dark and appears black. the recovery is actually running, but you have to navigate blind. some reported that using a torch directed at the screen lets you see something...
dunno, i replaced stock-recovery with clockworkmod.
what i do know is you didn't search before posting...

True, i haven't searched as I should since I'm new with the Nexus S i9023 (before i had Galaxy S) but i was directed by google to xda forum, and since i had a username, and the topic was about my problem i thought it is ok to write here
Anyway, if that's so, when it is in recovery, and blackout, what should i do to hard reset it ? I mean, how many times should I press the volume down to pe on "hard reset" ?

According to this pic, two times. Then power as enter button. But I don't know what the confirmation screen looks like...
www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Ach...exus-S-3-Update-1397457.html?view=zoom;zoom=2
I always use cwm, never seen stock recovery.

With my Galaxy S I used cmw, but with this one I would like to use the stock recovery..
I will try to wipe it "blind" Hope it works. Tanks alot
P.S.: It doesn't work

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.

Abnormal Behaviour in Galaxy R

Hi,
I've gt some problem in ma fone.I am facing this issue from yesterday.
The issue is that the fone shutdowns abnormally
First time when i faced the issue, i was only using whatsapp from 2-3 hrs.. and all of a sudden it went black..shutdown
Even after restarting the fone, the same thing was happening..
after 2-3 attempts, it began to function properly
Second time was today, while listening to music.
After 3-4 attempts, it began to work properly.
First i thought that it mite be due to overheating. bt even after removing the battery for a while, it didn't solve d prob.
Now its 30days from d day i had purchased dis fone from letsbuy. i have 45day replacement guarantee from letsbuy.
I have a Question to u ppl, is dis genuine issue in android/Galaxt R ??
shall i replace dis fone and ask for Refund (Dnt feel like giving d fone)
Particularly d issue occurs at start-up process, i.e 'Media Scanner Running, Usb Storage ...etc'
Moreover m Using Stock Rom 2.3.5 with 8gb external_sd_card
and sd_card is 1-1.4GB free

How about flashing the stock ROM once again and clearing the cache by going into recovery ?

That would:
1. Void Warranty ?
2. Take Time
I want to confirm asap.
I can factory reset the phone, at least.

That's good !
But if it starts to act up once again the first try a Factory Reset along with clearing the cache it might help.

So you are also in the same boat ?
Here's what you need to do. . .
1. Switch of the mobile completely.
2. Hold POWER + HOME + VOLUMEUP at once to go into recovery mode.
Now select wipe cache and you are done.
Hope this helps.

That's the way to enter apx mode. To enter recovery you must: 1) hold POWER untill splash screen, 2) release POWER and press VOLUME UP + HOME until you see "booting android recovery"

Guys, check this last/recent review on flipkart titled "bad phone", he has mentioned that his phone wouldn't power up with SIM inserted, is it the same issue people are facing, when R dies off, or refuses to boot?? It is a very weird issue. Well, atleast this would help someone to restore to stock and take it back to CC. But, I don't know how can they have such a hardware issue... Hmm!

Hi
I dont want to take your hope...but if you have allready tried to:
Press button combo for bootloader, button combo for download mode...remove battery and nothing worked...no google logo at all
The PC didnt recognize the device ....same fastboot/adb...no charging sign..
So the display stays black...you have the same issue like me.
I have had same a few weeks ago..and some others too.
Only way out is send it to samsung for warranty-repair.
In my case the mainboard and the nand where changed because the´re messed up.
good luck

[Q] not enough words can describe my problem

i think im ****ed.. i would like opininos suggestions..im desperate right now lol sounds bad i know however
first :my power button does not seem to want to work anymore
secondly: i noticed there was a basband and firmware update and i downloaded mf1 and the modem
third: i went into my quick setings since my power buton is broken and clicked on recovery mode and clicked ok
fourth: i waited .. the little blue words appeared in the top left corner as usual, and then it says samsung galaxy s3 and hangs for a minute then shuts off and turns back on.. continuing the loop.
possiblly important infomation;
my battery level was only 24 percent and i think if i charge it up or try to get it to charge that it may work out
your probably wondering what i do when my phone dies ..
well i put it on the charger and it turns on and the charging screen pops up with the battery
then i unplug the phone and it boots up without me touching the power button .
any information will be apprciated thanks ahead of time
BTW the phone was purchased the first day it was released i think the warrenty is expired
THANKS

The same power button issue happened to me a few weeks ago. I found a YouTube video of a guy who demonstrated slamming his phone on a table to fix it. Now I know what your thinking sounds stupid but it worked for me. Hold your phone so the side with the power button is flat on the table (this is how it needs to land). Then lift it and slam it down. I used a mouse pad to cushion the impact. Took like 20 tries but its been good ever since.

i forgot to mention.. i was planning on letting the phone completely die and then giving it some juice to see if that breaks the loop or sends it into normal boot mode i dont have the screw driver small enough to unscrew the back, if i did do you think holding the power button on the board will break the loop?

Trust me I know the feeling. I had soft bricked my phone after I tried to downgrade from 4.3 (before the fix was found) right after I thought I found the solution my phone was doing the power loop. Scared the crap out of me.

can i update my firmware and baseband with odin ? or do you reccommend me downloading clockwork mod and using that instead of teamwin ? i want slim kat .. seems alot better then this 4.1.3 bull**** lol .. althought the bone stock rom was very very very trusty.
my next question is should i instal the firmware first hen the modem then the rom i want ?

I personally like twrp more. yes you can update that stuff with odin i think there are links in the development section. As long as you do a factory reset and dalvik format you should beable to flash whatever you want now. It is recommended to be on at least 4.1.2 modem for ROMs. If you flash the 4.3 modem make sure it is only the modem and not the full firmware. You will be on a locked bootloader if you do.

As long as you do a factory reset and dalvik format you should beable to flash whatever you want now. It is recommended to be on at least 4.1.2 modem for ROMs. If you flash the 4.3 modem make sure it is only the modem and not the full firmware. You will be on a locked bootloader if you do.
