[Q] SGS i-9000 dead?

Yes, 1 post = noob......well spotted
My SGS GT I-9000 will not even load now. Here is the history:
Australian phone running 2.2 (optus)
Rooted it and installed a Darky rom (9.something I think, worked fine)
Then installed DarkyROM_v10.2.2_Extreme_Edition (worked fine)
A friend recommended CyanogenMod, so I installed CyanogenMod-7.1 (I did not do a nand back up)
Not really feeling CyanogenMod, so want to remove it.
Tried installing 2 other roms in the usual methods and would not load them, kept defaulting back to CyanogenMod-7.1.
Then tried to install a stock rom with the following process:
1. Make sure you have extracted the contents of the Firmware and ODIN rar files to a folder.
2. Turn off your phone and boot into the Download Mode (Volume DOWN+Home+Power Button).
3. Start ODIN. Then connect the phone to the computer. ODIN will say 'Added!'.
4. Then, in ODIN, select the following file in PDA: JPY_JPY_JPY.tar
5. Leave everything else as it is shown in the screenshot below:
5. Now, click on Start.
6. When ODIN says 'Close serial port and wait until rebooting', and the phone reboots, disconnect the phone from the computer.
Now my phone boots into the original SGS boot sequence and then stays blank and every 1 minute or so vibrates. It will not boot into recovery mode (Up+Menu+Power) or download mode (Down+Menu+Power).
I loaded Samsung Kies onto my PC. It recognises the phone as a SGS GT I-9000, but can not access anything.
Do I have a dead SGS?
Cheers

Help i bricked my tab 2 10.1

My tab 2 started feeling sluggish so i decided to wipe it. Firstly i did a factory reset from within android but my files were still intact so i then went into CWM and formatted the mounts. Now it wont boot past the first samsung logo so im guessing i formatted something i shouldnt have ..I cant access CWM anymore, it must have been wiped when i formatted the mounts so i have no means of copying files to it.
My tab 2 is the 10.1 inch version GT-P5100 with 3g
I'm currently downloading my stock rom for odin but i cant see how im going to copy the file to my device since i cant get into any recovery.
Is there any hope for me ?

you're going to have to power the tab down and then boot it into "download mode" which I think is hold Vol - and power at the same time. Then USB it to your computer and you'll see "added" in the box within Odin and then you can add the firmware to the PDA field and flash. I'm pretty sure you'll be okay...but you definitely don't need the firmware file on your phone, just your computer.

Thanks all sorted. Once i had odin downloaded everything was clear...I'm now running Cyanogem mod and everything feels much faster on the tablet.

[Q] tab 2 7.0 P3110 stuck at Samsung Tab 2 7.0 screen unable to boot to recovery

Please can you help I bought this samsung tab 2 7.0 P3110 with it only powering on to the samsung tab 2 7.0 logo screen.
I am unable to get to recovery screen using the power and the vol up button all this does is power it off even if I hold for over one minute.
I can get to the download screen (power and vol down doing so is easy as it works) I have been able to use odin (failed many times) and download firmwares.
Last night I was able to download and gain a pass in Odin for CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi-espressowifixx-gtp3110 this I ran fist then 4.1.1 P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU. the problem after that is when odin tells it to reboot it hangs at the logo screen everytime. I have tried without the reboot and reboot manually it staill hangs.
is it a bootloader problem? corrupted partition? I think it needs the whole boot process reinstalled or rewritten if someone knows how
I am not looking for a custom rom All i want it to do is to power on into the stock recovery and to power on into the sofware by using something that works either by reformat or re partition the tab to get that part of the tab working before looking at firmware. sometime I have seen write fail when in odin.
simple instructions for how to get it back is all I am looking for.
I have browsed your site and watched youtube for hours no light at the end of the tunnel
thanks in advance for your help

I am not too sure about the partition/repartition thing, but I think you should use said Odin to flash CWM 6.0.45. It doesn't mean you have to install a ROM, but try attempting a factory reset (at this point, not being able to boot up, you might need to use Cwm to create some sort of backup).
However, I suggest waiting until you receive more than one reply, as I may be wrong

For going into recovery, try holding the buttons at the same time. When you see the first samsung bootscreen, release the power button and continue to hold the other button.

Thanks for your reply I probably didnt explain myself. I have always been holding down the power and the vol up button at the same time.
I have access to another tab 2 7.0 P3110 that is working in stock mode (a trusted friend allowed me to check how to get to the download and recovery screens ) I have noted the time it takes to boot into recovery from power off and from the samsung tab 2 7.0 screen and also going into recovery from the download screen. mine dont do any it just goes to the download screen or power off. the screen is black no life lol.
just a thought I dont think it actually powers off although the screen is black because I left it for over 10 hours I felt the back and it was warm battery was low as I couldnt power it on it was fully charged when I tried to get into recovery 10 hours earlier.
will try to explain one step at a time
because of the problem I am thinking I have to start from scratch instead of jumping into the middle of what is already possibly corrupt files. (I have probably built a house out of my bricked Tab)
1. what do I have to do to get a totally clean 8gb space for recovery and firmware to go onto?
2. what has to be installed via Odin to get to recovery (can recovery be tested on its own before the firmware is installed)
3. I have tried a PIT file before all I had was 0 completed and 0 failed???? is that good or bad? didnt see a PASS at the top left. did I have the correct PIT file?
4. are PIT files dependant on which version of Odin I run or recovery or firmware? if they are can someone point my in the right direction for everything that is compatible with each other
I read on this forum of splitting the MD5 files into bootloader pit by extracting it twice I tried that in winRAR I only had one chance it left a tar.md5 file which is the file I used to upload in Odin.
Thanks again for everyones help

2. You need to install Clockwork Mod Recovery version 6.0.4.5. It can be found in the development forum, made by Android-Andi
As for the rest, I'm not familiar

I have tried the above it passes and reboots to samsung tab 2 7.0 and thats as far as it goes. I waited 15 minutes no change tried the usual to get into recovery not happening. went back to download screen and ran gtab2P311x8g.pit below is a snippet of the important bits from Odin output screen bottom left I had auto reboot, repartition and f reset time all selected
set pit file
get pit for mapping
theres no pit for mapping
all threads completed succeed 0 failed 1
I have also ran philz touch 6.008 universal root also pass with reboot and without reboot
all tar md5 files installs and with a pass reboots but no blue bar on the bottom of download screen and no access to recovery screen.
I think the internal 8gb memory needs to be wiped and partitioned.
maybe someone can tell me how to extract all the files that are needed to get the os onto the tab from the tar md5 file like the partition, recovery and bootloader etc and the order of installing in Odin

Am now running with Odin 3.07 and CF Auto Root espressowifi....md5
it all run through with pass at the end. It doesnt show the blue line running across the bottom of the download screen on the tab. I have never seen this in all the 20 + times I have tried with Odin. All the you tube vids show this as part of the installation process. If I have auto reboot on the tab reboots when Odin send the request to the tab to reset.

ADB devices does not attach itself to the tab. ADB just says its waiting for device when in download mode and fastboot returns nothing. I think its because I am unable to run USB debugging due to no firmware.
Is there a way to get into the tab if theres no os?
I have taken the back off thinking the volume or power key might be faulty, there not. Pressing the power button and the up vol does nothing apart from putting the tab in a reboot loop or power off. I can get into download mode no prob. I have tried pressing the up and down vol keys with the power button to try to put the tab into shock no change.

I was searching the forum for a similar problem as mine.
And you have the exact same problem as I do.
At some point when I used Odin 3.07 and flashing an official firmware from samsung I got past the first boot screen.
But right after that it shows an android robot with a dedacahedron in front of it showing an animation and a loading bar.
Soon I discovered the next loop, since this animation would loop over and over again.
Now I waited for the battery to run out and charge it up till its full.
By the way:
When the tablet is off and I plug it in with the original cable and charger the tablet shows the battery icon, but it doesnt show the charging animation. The battery icon shows a "waiting" circle. So I cant really see if its charging or not.
Have you had any progress?
Would be so awesome to fix this, this galaxy tab is not mine. Its my brothers and I broke it by trying to root it and install cwm xD

Eureka
Dude I totally got into recovery mode.
I downloaded CWM (clockwordmod) 6.0.1.1 SuperSU 0.96 Busybox 1.2.0.2 md5 file.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880010
In the first post there are attached files.
The right one is in that list.
Then I tried flashing it with Odin3 Version 3.09
I googled for a newer version of Odin and found this version 3.09
First time rebooting didnt work.
But the seccond time I succesfully got into CWM recovery.
Hope this works for you 2!
Cheers.

Thanks for the detailed guide and everyone's responses.. I was SOL also and re-flashing CWM helped get me back to where I can flash again.

[Q] MAJOR probs p600 (note 10.1 2014)

Hi,
So I have a Note 10.1 2014 edition the SM-P600. I rooted it, and all worked fine, but then I wanted to go back to stock firmware. Booted up Odin 3.7 and plugged it in all normal, except it failed on cache.img..... now it doesnt boot into download mode or recovery.
snag[dot]gy/dJnVc.jpg
On the screen it shows
TABLET --> YELLOW ! -> PC
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Problem being, I boot up Kies and attach the device, but Kies tells me the device is not recognised with this version of Kies (its correct Kies version, version 3)
The tablet is still recognised by the PC + Odin, so perhaps flashing a different firmware may bring it back to life?
In this firmware error mode, when I flash with Odin it does show a progress bar at the bottom which DOES move as Odin bar moves, so something is at least attempting to do something to it.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
EDIT:
Ok so I fixed it, I let the battery totally die, then plugged it in, and at the same time held the buttons for Download mode. Got in there and reflashed a stock rom. All back working.

Your problem most likely being that this is the Note 10.1 thread, yes, but it's the 2012 Note thread. Under the assumption you possibly downloaded from the completely wrong place. This is the 2014 edition forum.

EMERGENCY! Help Please!

Okay so while I was in TWRP, I was wiping and wiped everything even my internal storage because I wanted to start fresh.
For whatever reason, I didn't realize it would remove my ROMs that were in my internal at the moment.
My phone is now Stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Powered by Android" screen and is recognized in Odin but Odin won't do anything! Is there anything I can do to fix this PLEASE!
Edit - Forgot to mention it will not boot. TWRP told me there was no OS installed and I went back and tried to mount and nothing happened.
I hope this isn't bricked... it's not paid off..
Edit 2 - I cannot turn the phone off... I am going to try to wait until it dies on its own, charge it up some and try to get into Download Mode.
From there HOPEFULLY I will be good..

If you download a Odin flash able Img You will be able to flash it just put your phone in download mode there's no reason this want work

Same thing happened to me just hold the volume down and power button for about 10 secs to power off. Boot into download mode, Odin stock and you'll be perfect again you'll just have to do everything over again.

Did you get it to work? If not here's what to do
1. Download ODIN
2. Download.tar file (find it in Android development)
3. Put in download mode
4. Flash .tar file in ODIN
I did the same thing too lol.
Sent from my SM-N920P using XDA Premium HD app

Also it is a good idea to invest in a Sandisk (or any other brand) OTG external. It has saved my butt many headaches. Also good for moving those pesky 10gb+ backups to I picked up a 32gb on sale for like $12 on Amazon. TWRP recognizes it and you can flash whatever you need from it.
