So my friend gave me his Tab 2 7.0(P3100) for me to check out since it has problems to see if I can fix it.
And I checked it out and here are the problems:
The tablet constantly crashes. TouchWiz ran for a few seconds(Very laggy) before it reboots and it repeats again.
You may though factory reset would do the job.
However I tried to factory reset via the recovery. The recovery shows something unusual as seen below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So when I wipe data/factory reset, the recovery goes through the process as normal. But once it reboots, it does NOTHING AT ALL!
Then I reboot into safe mode and tried to factory reset in the settings. Once I went to backup and reset and tap the delete everything, nothing happens even after I tap the delete everything multiple times.
Oh, the thing also crashed in safe mode. It ran longer than the normal mode though.
I was unable to factory reset the thing.
However there is another weird problem. When I set a setting like connecting to a wifi network, uninstalling an app and changing brightness, after it reboots, all the settings I applied are reverted. So the wifi network is forgotten, the app I uninstalled is back and the brightness was set back to what it used to be.
I worked with multiple devices in the past and I've never seen anything like this.
Have anyone encountered a problem like this. And please give any solutions if you do.
I do have a feeling the problem is not normal but you can help out.
I need to return the tablet the next day after posting this thread so any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
UPDATE
I tried reflashing the firmware using ODIN and this happened
And you thought when it fails halfway especially when the system.img is flashing would brick the thing.
It doesn't. The tablet still reboots and same thing happens over and over again....
I tried flashing the same thing again but still the same results.
Probably eMMC was set to read-only memory.

hi,im a noob to android and my first step into the pool is the garmin asus a50..
yesterday i decided to root the phone
i installed a file manager
i installed titanium back up and ran it
i installed z4root and rooted
i installed super user
i installed root explorer.
all went well until i started deleting all the optus bloatwear,facebook ciao etc
i did a reboot of the fone and a msg came up stating a google file couldnt be opened,apart from that all was well..
so i decided i needed a restore to start again,i couldnt work out how to restore from titanium so i did a master reset and reinstalled the software off the garmin site..
i want to try this again...this time ill just root and root explore.
has anyone got any tips or ideas for me..
where i went wrong before etc
cheers
guys whats happening? lol
everybody is ruining the bastard. ha ha
mine is broken too, a50, i rooted the damn brick with faulty app, then it got slow and unstable, so i did the master reset, wow. now a virus warning stacks on the screen after start up and pin code, saying the battery cover is open and ask for restart, crazy retarded.
so it doesnt let me to do anything.
I need to install the ROM via USB plug, anyone got an idea if it works? Im actually mushroom, so I need to know which Rom is good, like 2.1 update works? and can pour the rom into its chip using USB cable?and if yes, how should I do it.
Plug the phone into the wall or computer.
power it off.
Hold the D-Pad left while powering the phone back on.
"Wipe Userdata" should appear on the screen. Let go, and let it run.
It will restore the phone to factory settings, including all software.

So.. it all started with google services framework.

}
It kept crashing every 30 seconds. I tried to clean cache, clean data, force stop, reboot phone, remove google account in "Accounts & Sync", everything you can find on the internet (except for an actual solution, which i still didn't find). I thought re-installing it would help. I found an apk for Android 2.3.4, and installed it. I rebooted the phone. I had the same problem with play store a couple of months earlier, and I thought it would be the same.
Android didn't boot after that. Tried removing battery, rebooting phone, nothing. Had to do a factory reset. Once the phone booted (after factory reset) i got to the part where I get a green android with a message "Touch the android to begin"
I tried factory reset a couple of times, with and without sd and sim cards, no luck. Tried tapping the corners, but nothing. Found some other **** online, same result.
Why did you try to install an OS using an apk? It sounds like what you should have done was reflashed GAPPS which should have overridden the framework you were having a problem with and solved the problem. If your phone is not rooted, the only way you can fix it is to boot into recovery and reset from there. If you do have a rooted phone, it'll probably be easier to go into CWM and reflash your ROM.

Hi,
I've been having problems with this phone, everytime I turn on the data plan it keeps poping up messages that all the process have stopped working so whenever I rebooted this keeps happening.
I tried going into recovery mode (e3) and wiping (factory reset) everything but this doesn't work, everything remains the same,
So I was trying to follow the guide to root it and load cwm recovery (from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899736) but it is not working.
I installed the drivers and I'm able to see my device in the windows explorer but when I start the runme.bat to root the phone it just throws a bunch of error messages.

So i tried to load the cwm recovery using the flastool and the process completed with no problem (the green circle appeared) but when I turn on the phone it loads the stock e3 recovery mode.
Is my phone broken ? what do you guys suggest I do ?
thanks in advance
i have this problem to :S somebody can help us??
Liquid Gallant won't reboot
I've got the same issue as mentioned in the post before; does the owner found a solution for his issue?
I tried to follow the tutorial on this forum and got the same issue when installing the *. bat file. File runs but won't detect the phone and closes.
Untill now the problem persists; frequent crash and shut down while using (wathever what, phone, internet, apps,..). I have not much experience with smartphones but it seems to me the internal boot is corrupt. Are any possible tpols or hints available or should the item be returned to ACer (when you know their helpdesk and utility service is crap!)
Same problem
Hello,
I had the same problem last year. I couldn't hard reset ( tried the 2 ways: via the settings or via the volum button when you start). It doesn't reset anything. The applications closes by themselves and I cannot do anything.
Last year, I sent the phone under the warranty and they repaired it and sent to me back.
Now I have exactly the same problem but my phone is not under warranty anymore.
Does anyone found a solution ?
Thanks.
Hello guys,
I'm new here, I've read a lot about your different topics and I'm admirative for some level god members with their answers :good: :laugh:
Indeed I'm a dev, but for websites so it's a bit different with phones for me, and I will try to explain as detailed as I can.
I have a samsung SM G965F, bought in Poland (I work here for the moment); And indeed tried to root it for private purposes.
I followed a tutorial; I was on Pie 9 (****tiest ever update for me); from there OEM in DEV tools was activated, and the TWRP was installed.
the phone wasn't root, but I had the TWRP options (when push Volume up+bixby+lock) so thought I'm on the good way, but only after, and there is my mistake, I understood by reading something that I should make faster an operation when enabled the OEM (before it start to delete all my infos) that I should switch to recovery mode (or installation) and if not there was a story with 7 days to wait.
So the phone was just reseted with only memory card datas not deleted, and the phone was working, just the OEM always disabled, and when you select to enable it it says "ok we reboot the phone you will loose all your files etcc..." and anyway after many attempts, it says always the same after the reboots, and never is enabled after. So I tried to install a new rom, and then I thought I had a problem, in the installation it was written "Secure Check Fail : PIT".
So I tried to found the right rom, with the number "6" inside as per this screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then the Secure Check Fail : PIT dissapeared and now its just Fail in Odin.
Also, I tried to reboot normally but it says that there was an error and I need to reinstall with smart view or smart touch, I don't really remember, so I just reinstalled the first TWRP and now the screen of my phone is looping on Samsung, and rebooting.
I'm lost, I spent from 3pm to 4 am yesterday in the internet to found a solution, so my final option is write to ask your help guys.
Hope you can help me, thank you in advance
PS: Sorry for the big picture, there is no acceptance unfortunately for resizing codes, or maybe I just still don't have access to this option cuz I have less than 10 messages, if need delete it or explain me if you need pictures, I did it 10 min ago, even if there is not a lot to do because i'm limited with my phone now
Hi Everyone Thans for having me Im stuck
My s7 froze and wouldnt do anything I managed to turn it off ,then it wouldnt boot ,after clearing the cashe and rebooting system it almost started but kept going to the android falling over ,
I read the options to sort this and tried to flash twrp recovery I seemed to go ok but when the phone rebooted it went to the An error has occured while updating the device software screen ,
I have tried smart switch but it does not see /connect the phone ,I can with a bit of messing with the buttons get from the An error /use the emergency recovery function screen to the ODIN Mode screen and the phone connects to odin But when i try to re flash the boot loader it flashes to the end then fails .
Am I right thinking Its the boot loader I need to get on 1st to get any further ?
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?

Sounds to me, like part of the storage may have suddenly failed or been damaged, causing your device to lock up and after a reboot, triggering this unusual state. Part of the bootloader is likely not getting read or written to properly, so installing fails only after partially writing to the device, and it refuses to boot. You could try a repartition and complete installation - that might also make it worse though. I've seen the blue screen of mild annoyance many times - not sure about the falling android, was there any text? If so, what did it say? The firmware does contain screens for various diffrent panic states, resembling the one you mentioned. I would encourage you to do some more research on those and look for patterns in the way it fails - or doesn't - when flashing other parts of the firmware package. Don't even bother with SmartSwitch - in my experience, it fails at anything the errors tell you to use it for. Also, simple issues like a faulty cable or the wrong firmware can often be overlooked - so make sure those are fine before starting to experiment.
