I haven't found what I am looking for yet. I kinda have the same problem like these guys on the posts above. I got my phone water damaged a while back and since then my phone whenever on charge gives me a message like "charging paused. Battery temperature too high or too low". I have been trying to fix this problem for a while but I can't seem to find any reasonable solution. Like I understand that this could be a hardware problem and I can't do much about it if it is but I still have to try different options before I pay Samsung to fix it.
Like what I am trying to achieve is that I would like to somehow root the tab and upgrade it using just the recovery system mode. I somehow believe that if I do that this problem will miraculously vanish . The galaxy tab that I own is this one here http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ls_o06_s00_i00. I never rooted the tab before this problem and I am sure I never upgraded it either. So all I am left with now is a tab that turns on only for few seconds and then switches off. Even when it is on the charge the tab switches off after giving me the message "charging paused. blah blah blah". The only time it stays on forever is when the phone is on the charge (AC and not usb PC) and on Android System Recovery <3e>.
There is no possible way of starting the tab and using the android system as the message pops up just before the loading up and switches the phone off immediately. If someone can guide on how to root and upgrade my tab through using my sd card or doing it in recovery mode, then I promise to buy a couple of pints (money will be sent via paypal) or else the money goes to Samsung and ruins the whole joy of fixing my tab with yourr help. Cheers
Can someone please help me wth this?

hi
As the title says my phone doesn't boot past Samsung logo, recovery and download mode doesn't work .
Also when connected to a computer gets recognized as "TAVOR OBM" and doesn't find any driver.
My question is:
How do I repair it?
First question:
What did you do to brick it?
By just using Google TAVOR OBM, I found a possible solution. But because it is in a german forum, I will tell you here (but I guess Google Translate could do that, too):
Your only hope is getting into dowload mode with a USB Jig. There are many tutorials on this. You need a 301 kOhm resistor between pin 4 and 5 of the USB. With a bit luck (some forum guy reports it works), you will be able to flash a new firmware with Odin.
Last solution, if everything fails:
If the Jig does not work, send your phone to Samsung and tell them it does not boot. Apparently, they will replace it.
I bought the cellphone from a guy online, what he said was that he tried to root it to play hacked games.
How do I make this JIG?
here you go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604707 or if you wanna buy one http://usbjig.com/ or search one on amazon
I did a jig 3x 100k and 1 1k resistor and sold it to the 4 and 5 pin on the micro usb.
but nothing happened and
now my phone won't even turn on to the samsung logo screen
what are my other options?

How exactly did you proceed?
I have never done this by myself, but from what I know, you have to
switch it off
pull out the battery
wait 5 minutes
put it back in
plug in the Jig
and it should turn on by itself. So do not press the power button.
Can i get some help?
I was downloading a file on my 6800 when it froze, at about 20% battery remaining, so i help the power button to reset the device.
Once it booted up to the lock screen, i entered my lock pattern and it froze again.
So i reset the device again, but this time it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 screen. So i reset the device again. Same problem.
Now i am not getting anything. I have plugged the power cord into the tab and i am not getting any indication that it is charging. Nothing.
I cannot get into download/recovery because nothing is happening.
Is my device truly dead?
P.s. How do i find the serial number? Its supposed to start with R, but i cant find it on the device or the box.
Let the tablet discharge completely, then recharge it again. And try booting up normally, in recovery or download mode. Serial number can be found at the back of the device. If not check your original purchase bill.

The tab is essentially a paper wieght. There is no indication that that it has any power, and will not boot into anything as nothing happens when the power button is pressed. So I cannot discharge it since i dont there is no indication of the remaining battery life and charging it shows no indication of current battery level.
The serial number is not on the back of the device, and i checked on my other tablet the P1000 it isnt there either, there is only the model number, the IMIE number and where it was made.

M out of station at the moment. Will be home next Monday. Will inform you if the serial number is printed on the box or not. I guess you'll need a zig cable to bring your device in download mode. Is your tab still under warranty? If so I guess it'll be better to take it to a service center.

Mine has frozen up a few times and read somewhere that if you have a black screen..and no buttons working..
then plug in wall charger wait for atleast 15 mins ..then hold power button for 15 secs..
the battery charging icon should appear..then can be turned on.\
its kind of like before you could hold power button and or volume buttons but nothing happening.
I was worried mine had somehow hard bricked but this worked for me recentley..
If doesnt work for you and still nothing then see samsung..

Tried it and it didnt work. Thanks for some advice. Any chance you can get a picture of the back where the imie & serial number are supposed to be? You can obscure your imie & serial number, i just need to see how it looks.

Your welcome... If you've kept the original plastic protector at the back there is also a sticker indicating the IMEI and S/N.
Just send it back to Hong Kong with origonal purchase receipt..
They will replace motherboard and no questions asked.
I bought mine in HK and have sent it back twice under warrenty..
To be honest i think sending it Hard bricked is the best way to get it repaird
as they have no way of knowing what Roms n stuff youve Flashed lol..

The thing about HK is different price for chinese and different price for the Gui Lo's!!!
seems like mine is now bricked - no response from the charger or by usb, i was using it today and it ran out of battery and wont do anything,it was acting funning the last few days, it actually would never turn off, when i powered it off it would just turn back on again, and as i posted in another thread it would charge with the cable for a few days it would only charge by usb, them all of a sudden it starting charging by usb again but not with the original charger it came with - i have had it charging for over an hour and still nothing, i will charge it overnight and try again tomorrow - i will probably send it to my office in hong kong and see if they can work with the repair center to get it fixed - but in the meantime i need another 7.7 ! i guess i will just have to pick one up on kijiji - there is one in my area for $375 which is about half the price i paid for my current one - oh well i will just sell 2 of my nexus 7's and get another 7.7 i dont really use the nexus 7's anyway only to test out different roms
edit - does anyone know if samsung canada can / will repair it if i pay for it or know anyone else that can i would rather pay and get in done here then send to hong kong ? i had a company in mississauga that fixed my bricked original galaxy tab 7 a few years ago but i dont really trust those guys to work on this tablet

I wish mine could have been sorted by using a different adaptor but it works in my other tablet.
may be the battery is dead,so open the phone and change the battery.it may wotk.
another method u can use higher volt to shock the memory battery,it may work but it is very danger

Hey guys
I rooted and flashed paranoid android of my tab and it was working fine. Couple of weeks later I left it to charge overnight not realizing the charger is spoilt, hence, didn't charge my tab. Batt drained completely and i couldn't get it started again. Tried leaving it to discharge overnight and plugging in a new charger to charge overnight and still nothing. It was still under warranty so I sent to to samsung and guess what? They told me it's been rooted and hence the warranty is void and they told me they need to replace the motherboard which costs almost $300. :crying: FML. Took it back and now I have a really fancy paperweight.
Was wondering if you guys know anything I can do to get it back to life? Or at least unroot it so I can send it back for repairs?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Maybe not Dead, just its gone completely flat.
When it discharges to a certain amount you cant charge it even with wall charger as needs a certain amount of power
from the battery to activate the charging circuits.
I havent pulled one open yet but u need to pop the screen out from the front..
then remove battery and charge it from some other means then replace it..\
should now turn on again..
Just a guess but if its a paper weight you got nothing to loose right?
Hello everybody. You're my last hope!
Here's my situation: I bought a second hand Note a year back, and it's suddenly done a hard brick on me. So hard my computer can't even see it when I use the USB data cable.
I'd rooted it with CWM, flashed a custom JB ROM, and had been using Link2SD to shift some non-essential apps to a secondary partition and free up some system space. Although all the above came with their hiccups, I'd been using the phone without a hitch for about a week when "it" happened.
Today I pick it up and it has the "Galaxy Note N7000" welcome screen, which disappears when I hold down the power button. After that, nothing. Nothing from the power button, nothing from the power button+menu button+volume up. Nothing when I replace the battery with my fully charged spare. Nothing when I plug it in to charge, nothing when I connect it to the PC. No warning, nothing. Out of the blue, just like that.
After a bit of online rummaging I think I need a JTAG fix, something like "Samsung Galaxy Note - JTAG Brick Repair Service (Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX)" by MobileTechVideos on Youtube (I'd paste a link, but this site). Problem is, I'm all the way out here in Turkey. What would you suggest?
Thank you in advance.
PS: I'm struck by how all this makes you appreciate the simpler things in life. Like your father-in-law's little old beat-up Nokia that never skipped a beat all these years and is now saving your life. Is it really so hard to make a phone that is guaranteed to boot no matter what?
Hi there.
I have a friend that had a galaxy s3 mini till a few days ago when supposedly the board got fried up from an official OS update. His phone was never rooted.. and minding one or two scratches.. it was a "virgin" phone.
He said that one day he had his phone turned off and when he turned it on, it displayed the message that it was updating but then a few % in, it completely shut down and since then he was never able to turn it on again. He tried charging the battery, switching battery, pressing those combinations of buttons to get into download and recovery mode and nothing.
He went to a unofficial store and also to a samsung store and both believed it was the board that fried up. Even though the guys from samsung never admitted, the guy from that unofficial store said it wasn't the first samsung he was getting that week with the same problem after that latest update. He really believed it was the update that fried it. Oh well.. if it's true or not, we don't know. Either way, since they didn't take responsibility and wasn't a way to really know if it was samsung's fault or just a somewhat old phone problem.. my friend got the s7 (yeah.. samsung got money for this xD..) and we were wondering if there is anyway he can recover at least some of the internal data of the dead phone? It doesn't turn on at all.. so don't know if that's possible. Can someone please clarify me that?
Google shows a lot of results about data recovery but the tools used for that are fishy imo and say that they are used to recover data from dead phones but require the phone to be in recovery or download mode which is even fishier right? I mean.. if it's dead.. xD
Any help on this would be very much appreciated!
Hi !
A device which can`t be powered on it is a dead device , the local storage can`t be accessible so its data can`t be recovered
Cheers !
Oh.. those are indeed sad news. But oh well..
Thank you for replying!!
