Hi,
I installed a new ROM for my Samsung yesterday evening (For anyone who wants to see - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461009)
It worked absolutely fine for the first few hours, and I noticed a huge speed improvement and it all just felt great, but as soon as I went to sleep, I left the tablet turned on throughout the night, as I came back to go on it, I noticed that it was turned off, so I powered it on, it just froze at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" logo screen, and nothing happened, so my next thought was to put it into recovery mode and try to fix the problem, again, same thing happened, so I rebooted it anyway, but this time, nothing is showing, I left the tablet to charge for 6 hours (To see if I had drained the battery) and still nothing, it does not respond to any events (Charging, Power buttons), I would like to know if I could fix this as I use my tablet for my studies and its a huge part of my daily routine, any help is greatly appreciated and I will try to reply as much as possible!
Thanks in advance,
~ Josh
P.S - If I make any mistakes in this post please do not hesitate to tell me as this is my first post

bro no need to worry we are here
first tell me that before flashing this rom did you wipe cache partition , factory reset ,wipe dalvik cache cos these things are important for a clean flashing of any rom
also try these things now
first just try wipe cache partition in recovery then see if you are able to boot or not
if still no good then try all that i have mentioned
if still no good try reflashing stock rom from odin
good luck

A few details before I start
I am on Galaxy S3 i535 from Verizon, was running CleanROM 5.6 for a few hours after coming from Codename Android that I was using for a few days(I've been going crazy with trying roms lately.)
I flashed LiquidSmooth 2.0 with CWM (never have used odin)
On all of these flashes before i did so I wiped system/factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and formatted system, cache, and data.
I had just finished flashing Liquid Smooth about an hour ago and was installing a few things with titanium back up. everything up until this point was going fine, got all my apps instaIlled and ready to go, and I head into the settings and try to turn on a few things and edit some settings in the Liquidsmooth settings.
Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop and I'm not sure what to do. I have tried power/volume down, power/home/volume up, power/home/volume down, and nothing will get it to reboot. I dont know whether or not it is safe to take out the battery and start from there, so if that is the route I should take, please let me know.
I have no experience with odin, but I can most definitely look that up so I wont need help there. Just some help on whether or not I should take out the battery or do something else. I just don't want to brick it in any way if that is avoidable:fingers-crossed :fingers-crossed:
Thanks to whoever can help me!
Edit:
I used the search a little better this time and saw people say pull battery on similar cases, and I did that, and I'm still stuck in bootloop. (It seems like in most of the threads I found pulling the battery was a given so people didnt mention it, but I needed to know for sure.) So I am still in the bootloop and am just going to boot into download mode and go from there.
Alright I was able to odin to stock, and now im back to square one.
Not sure how to delete threads :S

Yeah, we noticed you only read the first few lines. :what:
If you are gonna try to help at least read the whole OP.
And to manually boot recovery its: Volume up+home+power.
Not

OP you are missing the point here. You have to take the battery out and put it back in before going to recovery. Once you have done that try vol-up/home/ power at the same time. Once samsung logog appears look at the top left if you see words release. it will boot to recovery. You can take it from there.
Hi, i have been looking for answers on the forum, and i learn new things but not how to fix this or what is causing it.
I have buyed i997 from a reseller. He sayd it doesnt work because it have bootloop, but i thinks that is not too much problem getting it working again, so i started searching for the pc drivers n software, then i find here in the forum the stock rom with and without root, i tested them both with odin and the bootloop stills present. I wipe cache and do a factory reset but it keep bootlooping, then think maybe if i update to latest AT&T rom, but no luck.Sometimes the phone just start and theres no bootloop but its very rare and most of the time when i get to the lock screen or setup manager suddently a gapps or something crash and my phome freezes and reboot. I flashed the carbon-jb-v1.6 and suddently it worked fine, no more bootloop and everything smooth,no crashes etc.. then i installed Facebook app and when i was ttyping a message the phone froze up and then restarts, and the bootloop came again, and im stuck on it, and when i pass it, which is very rare, i start typing info in the startup manager and the phone freezes and reboot.. I wipe/format cache, dalvik, factory reset, formated system and data before and after flashing the carbon rom again and it keeps bootlooping. Somebody have similar problems or know how to fix it?
Thanks
P.d. sorry for my bad english.

Thanks man, but you think it can be the power button? When i unplug the battery and put it again the phone doesnt turn on or something, and when it boot up when i lock the screen with the power button it works fine. I set the cpu governor to conservative and since yesterday i didnt have any problem, but sometimes the phone reboots when typing, i think its someting with the processor or when the phone have little ram or something.
Thanks.

If you ran the phone on complete stock GB or FROYO and you are getting boot loops, it may be a hardware issue.
One of the few things that will give you boot loop with the samsung logo while using the phone is the power button.
Either way, it's no big deal to open it and clean it up to see if the problem goes away.

Thanks bud, I will try cleaning the button. Also I want to ask, is there something to log everything when the phone start? Or something to test the hardware functionality?

Bootlog Uptime will keep a record of all boots from an Android OS perspective ... It will also track crashes... It won't track events outside of a complete restart (i.e. power button bootloops.. But those are pretty obvious when they occur)
For hardware testing, try Z Device Test... That won't tell you about the buttons though... If your screen turns on without pressing power button or from any other standard event (like receiving a text or a phone call), or the phone restarts by itself, time to get cleaning..

Hey guys!
I just bricked my phone by wiping dalvik cache after installing marmite. Now my phone is just showing a black screen when power on.
Ive tried using the UnbrickableMod Tool by Adam, but my device does not get recognized.
What do I have to do? I love this phone, and I do not want to buy a new one yet
>>devil188
So , I just did use the ubtool again , but this time on linuxmint, which gave me superuser access using that. But I only get far till <sbl inj. failed>
Gonna take a look now who over dudes solved that, but still feel free to help me
flash the non-cm version of marmite.
how can i flash something if i can't get into download/fastboot etc. mode ?
Anyway, I still can't get through the SBL injection Failed thingy, i think i gotta make a hardware modification (unbrickable mod) :/
Well, ain't nobody helping me? Doing that UnbrickableMod looks extremely hard, because the things you gotta change are very very small!

If THAT ALONE caused the brick you're describing, maybe nobody has the ability to understand what just happened.

Try Nexus Root Toolkit (for windows).. Though I think you'll need to be able to boot to boot loader??.. (vol + & power)
If you can't do that, read the threads on Odin, it may help..
Doesn't work either, actually I can't access anything on the phone :/
Gonna take a look at the odin threads
Hi everyone I am a newbie when it comes to rooting phone and installing a Roms, I recently rooted my S3 and everything went smooth except my WIFI did not work so after so research it seemed as if I did not do it correctly but i followed all the steps. So i decided to try a new Rom I put the Rom on my S3 rebooted into recovery and wiped the phone and the cache as well. I then loaded the Rom that I downloaded from XDA and showed to work with my S3. I used Clean ROM 5.6 and I am sure I jacked something up. Well after I went through the install it went back to my recovery screen and looked like it was asking me to update my sd zip file or something so I updated it and restarted my phone. I am now getting the message "System software not authorized by verizon Wireless has been found on your phone". I thought that the SU privileges were removed or somehow the phone became unrooted so I tried to re-root my S3 and everything shows to go through successful but I cannot get passed this screen, I can get to download mode but i cannot get to recovery at all, I am not sure what I jacked up but its jacked. Any help would be greatly appreciated very much Thanks.
so you say that you cannot open your recovery? try pressing home button, volume up, and power button all at once. try this, if it does not work,i have some more
tricks up my sleeve!!
