Hi,
Not sure why this happened, but while charging my tablet (galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8013 2013 edition) the tablet flashed and rebooted itself without user interaction. Upon reboot it froze on the samsung splash screen, so i pressed and held in the power button until the device restarted. When it did restart it no longer showed the splash screen, just squiggly lines thru the screen and it sits there unresponsive. I can boot the device into download (odin) mode, it shows that there is no custom binary download, shows the current binary is samsung official, but it says system status is custom, which is odd because i have never attempted to flash a custom rom nor have i tried to root this device.
i proceeded to install odin on my laptop and downloaded the factory binary from sammobile. I loaded everything up (as per the directions) but it fails, says there is no PIT partition. Im not sure where to go from here, i contacted samsung, but they are useless, says they cant help because the device is out of warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated , thanx in advance.

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.
Hi
i recently bricked my phone while updating from stock to phils cwm recovery and my cable unplugged. After that my phone went just dead. I read on the internet and used a OMAP flash and after that i could access my download mode, but it has a yellow exclamation mark triangle and has the android mascot with a 0 in it. I dont know what that means.
Now i some how managed to put a stock rom in it (Gingerbread). But it never switches on. I keep getting a blank screen, not even the samsung bot load symbol comes up. But when ever i use a pit file to just repartition the device my phone starts up and the gingerbread os switches on. But it keeps flashing that every process of google is being forced close, so i cant even move ahead. its just stuck there, and error keeps coming up with force close pop up.
If i try to restart the device it gets the blank screen again. it works again if i repartition it.
i even tried nand flash, but it gets stuck in odin after the message Erase.....
i tried adding a new recovery to no avail. Neither does a new Android OS gets pushed in, gets stuck at NAND write start.
The phone doesnt let me access recovery also. It gets the same blank screen when i try.
help please

Hmm ... after flashing a custom (PhilZ-cwm) recovery, the yellow triangle shows that you are no longer on official/stock firmware.
You can reset it with TriangleAway app from Chainfire.
If download mode still works, you can try to flash another (custom) kernel with a custom recovery. But it has to be a kernel which is compatible with your current ROM.
For further questions, please post in the Galaxy SII GT-I9100 G Q&A thread.
If you have issues with your download mode, check the [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked I9100G thread.
Thread closed ... thank you !

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Sorry to hear about your trouble but fortunately there is an XDA area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1 which would be a good starting place. I suggest you post your question with all relevant details in the friendly Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/help where the experts familiar with your device will be best able to guide you.
Good luck!
TLDR;
Trying to install custom recovery with odin auto-reboot checked off so stock doesnt replace odin says PASS I disconnect the phone but in downloading mode the blue bar is full and the phone doesn't want to shut down. I remove the battery and try to boot into custom philz-recovery it gets stuck in samsung logo. But functions perfectly on normal boot. I reset the whole phone and try the cf-auto-root method and the phone gets stuck in samsung logo now not even booting up normally. So i reset the whole phone again with odin and firmware from sammobile now sitting with a stock android and knox warranty ticked without having a root.
(Sorry for the long post I've tried to provide as much info as I can) So I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 exact model number SM-G900H. And I'm trying to root it. I go into download mode than I launch Odin and check off Auto-Reboot so it won't boot up and the stock recovery replaces the custom I'm trying to install, I connect the phone it says its connected than I select AP and than choose philz-recovery (latest version) and start it. So the Odin finishes its work says "PASS" in green letters. I disconnect the phone but on S5 the blue bar is full and it does not want to shut down (if the auto-reboot is checked it just reboots and it doesn't even want to boot into stock recovery just stuck on samsung logo) I've waited a good hour and still nothing. So I pull out the battery for it to shut down and than I straight try to boot into recovery and it just gets stuck on samsung logo and the blue letters don't even show up. Before rooting the recovery worked and I factory resetted the device before so samsungs knox does't interrupt with its not-being-able-to-boot-into-recovery-if-you-dont-know-the-password-to-the-samsung-account. And I'm now sitting here now with knox warranty ticked and not even rooted BUT I CAN STILL USE THE PHONE PERFECTLY WITHOUT TRYING TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY JUST BOOTS UP NORMALLY. So what I do than is reset the phones firmware with Odin from sammobile. Ok stock android. Than I try the Cf-auto root method with Odin. No luck phone just doesn't even boot up. So I reset the phone again same method. Ok stock android again. Sitting here reading through google for 8 hours 5 of thise spent on xda. STILL NO LUCK. So I hope someone can resolve the issue. I can't provide any pictures as I just rage closed my computer and didn't take pics. And if I install cynogenmod with heimdall is it going to be rooted (i know you don't need a root to do that) and can someone provide a guide to that heimdall cynogenmod install method?
I have been given an S7 SM-930FD [Dual Sim] that was supposed to be bricked. It wouldn't boot into anything but I have successfully got it into download mode and been able to successfully flash a stock ROM downloaded from Sammobile [several times] with no errors. Each time I have used the full set of AP,CP,CSC files and the previous owner is not sure what ROM it was on or what he tried to install. I have tried different versions of the firmware for this model for various android versions and regions simply to try and get it to boot, but without success. I have tried HOME CSC and CSC files too.
But each time it starts to install the update / reboot it hangs. Either when it installing the update on the blue screen with the robot and its "erasing" - small rotating symbol just stops and nothing happens OR it loads to the GALAXY S7 normal boot screen then hangs.
When it hangs it will only respond to one key combination Power + Vol Down. It then "switched off" and will not reboot in any mode. When I say "switched off" I mean the screen goes black. However if I then connect the charger, it won't show the charging symbol UNLESS I leave it for a few hours and the battery goes flat. It will then charge and I can boot into download / recovery mode but normal boot starts installing the update and it will hang all over again. On one occasion it hung with and black screen and blue flashing light but again no key combinations worked and I had to wait for the battery to drain.
Also tried Smart Switch Emergency Recovery. Even with the drivers freshly installed it does not recognise the phone, it does accept the model number during initialisation, but once the S/N is entered it comes back and says it can't find the model, S/N or IMEI in the database!
I have researched the web for hours and watched every relevant youtube video and tried their suggested key combinations etc and they just don't work.
So I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this frustrating situation, not least because of the delays between attempts!
Presumably as I can consistently get it into download mode there is a solution out there somewhere???????
What am I doing wrong? Should I be looking at a custom ROM or trying something else?
All help appreciated.
