Hello people, i really need some help on Reviving my Samsung Note 10.1 N8000. Ive been using it with the latest Version of Android from samsung for almost a year. Device was bought 2012.
One night, after doing some email checking and browsing, the battery got drained and the Device shut down as i fell asleep. I plug the charger around 5 hours later that morning and waited for battery capacity to reach 100% before switching the note on.
Upon doing so, my Note, would boot through the moving samsung emblem as it would normaly do, but would get stuck in the Samsung Logo... indefinitely or until it runs out of juice again i would assume since Device got Warm after around 15 minutes..
I have tried the following Key Combinations to boot / reset or get into restore mode...
Hold Power On Button = Turns on Device, will shut down ONLY if Charger is inserted. Charging the battery would work as it normally would. (Visible battery icon while charging)
Hold Power On Button + volume (+) Key = Device would constantly be in boot loop (initial moving samsung splash over and over). Letting go of all keys, Device would freeze up to Samsung logo..... No Recovery Mode
Hold Power Button + volume (-) key = Brings device to Odin mode, ive tried flashing various Stock roms up to the latest using Different Odin Versions, All FAIL. Odin would recognize the device.... BUT.... none of my efforts seemed to work. Once i click START.... id get a FAIL in 2 seconds. I've been reading that i need it to be on USB Debugging mode... but how can i do that, given the circumstances?
Is there somthing i am missing? Should i call it quits? Im really trying my best... but ive seemed to come into a dead end trying to revive this. If there are other options i havent explored, please to tell me. I would appreciate any help regarding this.
Thanks alot
Please.... anyone?
Difficult to follow your post .

I was trying to get 2.2 on my captivate. It got hung and after about an hour, I powered down phone (battery out).
I'm now getting [phone... (!).. COMPUTER] picture
Trying to get back to stock ROM 2.1, but I cannot get device in download mode
I had to use adb to get in download mode originally.
Is it possible I got a phone that doesn't go into download mode based on button combinations? If so, what do I do?
Unplug your phone from USB
Pull battery
Close Odin
Open Odin
Put in battery
Hold both volume buttons (NO POWER) and plug in USB
Hopefully this gets you into download mode
Still Fail
I've been trying that, but without open/close of Odin.
Still failed when I added that step.
get to that screen again: hold volume up/down and power at the same time.
When the screen goes black, then release power button but keep holding down volume up/down

Yes, and remember to keep the volume buttons pressed in while plugging in the USB... I always hold them in until the droid/caution sign comes up.

Try the methods prescribed. There are several minor variations but you may have a phone that doesn't do three button recovery. In order to tell, we need some history on your phone. What is the RF Cal date? Were you able to three button into download before? Do you know if it was one of the ones that had the three button problem?
autocorrelation,
I tried that with the usb cable plugged in and without it plugged in.
Still no good.
joeybear23,
I've been trying that all afternoon. Probably about 50 times.
ianwood,
How do I get the RF Cal date? I don't see it under the battery where the S/N is located. I tried to do 3 button recovery to put phone into download mode when trying to install 2.2, but it wouldn't work. I had to use "adb reboot download".
I've never tried it before today. The only issue I've had was that it could NEVER connect to AT&T server to check for an update.
can you get it into recovery mode?
no recovery
No. It won't go into recovery mode either.
The only thing it WILL do is respond to all 3 buttons being pressed by the black screen flash after about 8 seconds.
If you keep holding all 3 buttons will it flash again after the initial black screen? Try releasing the power button and keeping holding vol up/down after the second black screen.
If I keep holding all 3 buttons, it just keeps flashing.
Also tried to let it flash twice (and even more) and releasing power right when it goes to black 2nd (or 3rd) time. Also tried releasing power half way through black screen, and right before black screen re-appears and also just as the screen powers back up. None of them work.
I ran into this yesterday and about freaked out. Don't panic - apparently one of the guys had this happen to them a lot. Take a deep breath, have ODIN open, plug your USB cable in, hold the volume buttons down at the same time, press and hold the power button till you see the phone to computer, and let go. You should get to the download screen again. Good luck; sucks when something like that happens and you don't know what's going on.
I know this wont help much, but I have one of the no 3 button phones, and after 20 minutes of trying all these methods, it did go into d-load mode. Unfortunately, I don't know exactly which combo I used since my brain went into overload when I finally saw the triangle appear. There is hope though, and please PLEASE post which one works for you(I'm afraid to mess with mine until I find a foolproof method)
I had a phone that wouldnt respond to ANY 3 button combo I tried. I bricked it (sorta on purpose) to the phone-!-computer screen and went and replaced the phone at AT&T (under the 30 day deal).
It didnt initially work with the 3-button but after the JH7 OTA DL mode and recovery mode work perfectly now. Also, GPS has been completely spot on when testing on my motorcycle with the phone in my backpack running my tracks.
If you are under the 30-day return policy, bring it in and come up with a good reason as to why they should give you a new phone. If not, then you're sorta SOL....

This method just saved my butt!!!
I have never had trouble getting into recovery or download mode until today when I did a dumb thing. The phone would lock at the ATT screen when trying to power on and if the phone was off and I plugged it in to charge it would freeze and the circle logo that comes up before the green charging battery does.
Every method of getting into download or recovery failed up till now.
Thanks Zilch!!!
Hey guys gonna move this to Q&A.
I had this problem a few days ago after updating to 2.2. I tried every single button/usb/battery combo and nothing worked. FORTUNATELY I was within 30 days of purchasing it (I guess there's a silver lining when diving right into "hacking"), and I brought it to the store with the box and receipt and just told them it gave me an error when turning it on (played dumb) and they swapped it out without even testing. If you're over the 30 days then I think you're pretty much SOL... gotta pay for a replacement.
bricked
I declared it to be bricked and took it back to the store. I have only had it 2 weeks, so I basically pulled the same move of playing dumb and they gave me another one without any problem.
I'm wanting to try to see if I can put it in recovery mode and/or download mode with the buttons without even attaching it to anything, but now I'm paranoid about bricking it.

Buddy, we need you to remember I'm in the exact position, no combo works and I bricked it after trying to load 2.2
Going into recovery or download will not brick it, its only everything after that point that might get you bricked.
I decided to install VooDoo lagfix on my new captivate when it still didn't have anything on it to minimize potential loss of information. I downloaded the lagfix, got it started, then the damn battery popped out when I got off my bed a few min into the mod. Immediately I felt like an idiot. Now, when I start my phone I get this sequence: ATT world phone screen, then a GALAXY S / GT-I9000 / SAMSUNG screen which it freezes on.
I have odin3 v1.7, but I'm unable to get it to Download Mode with any of the methods I've found (I don't know what I need for adb or what it is though...).
If I attempt to go go into download mode with Vol + & Power it shows a circle of radial lines, then it goes to a battery with the circle of radial lines (and I'm still holding both Vol + & power), then a black screen, then repeats what seems an indefinite amount of times. If I release the Power or Vol buttons it stays black for a couple seconds then it goes to the charging battery screen.
If I plug it in and turn it on with odin3 running, the phone stays on the frozen GALAXY S screen, odin3 recognizes it as COM6 but wont allow Start.
Any help would be great. My intuition says it has to be fixable if it's software.
Not sure if this will help, but earlier today I installed a theme on my phone that wasn't supported by my kernel by accident. The phone went to the AT&T World Phone screen then hit the Samsung Galaxy S screen and froze. I pulled the battery out to unfreeze the phone and then I put it back in after a few seconds and turned the phone on. I immediatly did the three button method and held it down so the phone did the AT&T World Phone/Samsung Galaxy S thing. I kept my fingers on them and the phone rebooted again (which is supposed to happen) and I kept the three buttons held down so again, it rebooted. After the second reboot I immediately took my fingers off the buttons when the AT&T World Phone screen popped up and I got into recovery. Now, this is a theme so it's totally different, but it's worth a shot and hopefully it works for you.
But if that doesn't work I still wouldn't worry as you most likely didn't brick your phone. If it was bricked it wouldn't be turning on at all and Odin is reading it at least so I'm sure with the right help if my method doesn't work, you can fix it.
Hopes this helps you man!
No power, just volume up and down plus in usb
Get a Jig. I was in the same boat. Worked like a charm.. You can make one (I did)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512
or you can buy a jig. Will surely work. Good luck
This is my first post on the boards, so I apologize in advance.
This phone belongs to a friend of mine, they had it rooted and then they reset it to factory default, and it stopped working. That's when it was given to me.
Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Captivate (Rogers)
SGH-I896
When I got the device, it could be turned on and would say "SGH-i1987" and "19000i" or something. After a short time an "S" would appear and glow until the screen went idle. It would never boot up.
After a lot of trial and error, I eventually got it into download mode by holding VOLUME DOWN and clicking the POWER button.
Once on, I tried flashing using a One Click Odin from this site. It seemed to be installing through Odin and eventually the device booted up an "AT&T" logo then rebooted, and kept doing so over and over.
After 5 or so minutes, I hit the power button and Odin said 1 Successful/1 Failure ( i believe) and so I unplugged the device.
Now when I turn it on it keeps loading the AT&T logo and then rebooting, or if I connect the USB it shows the grey battery, then reboots.
Here I have tried everything. I tried VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN, VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN + POWER, VOLUME DOWN + POWER, USB, no usb, I tried 10 times doing each. I could never get a different result.
I bought 3x100k resistors and tried linking them, ran it over a meter and say that it had 300k resistance. I tried making contact to the microUSB slot but after a few hours it still hadn't gone into download mode. I stripped a microUSB plug but I had to junk it, the contacts weren't helpful. I've since ordered a USB jig but would like to fix the phone before that comes in, if possible.
Is there any other way to fix it other then the jig, is the jig going to help? I have a microSD card, can I use that to enable the buttons or flash something helpful onto the device? I don't have much experience with this but I've read several forum posts on the subject so far. Also, if I get it into download mode, what is my best course of action to get a simple WORKING OS loaded.
Thanks a lot for any help you can offer me!
Hi guys,
this is my first post on this comprehensive website which helped a lot in the past by reading slimmer issues and their fixes,
now I have hard one, my oldie Galaxy note, GT-N7000, stopped working with the following symptoms,
The phone suddenly stopped, black screen, I removed the battery for a minute, put it back, pressed power button the phone stuck on Welcome Samsung logo screen,
removed the batteries for a minute, pressed the 3 combination Home+Power+up the phone give the first screen of recovery Waring " A custom OS can ......, then two option Volume Up: continue and Volume down to cancel (restart phone), if I press volume down the phone black died! otherwise if I press volume up the phone go to " downloading don't turn off target" stuck forever, no other keys are responding, I had to remove the battery and start again.
when I connect to Kies, refuses the "emergency firmware recovery" as I don't have recovery code, as well as when I use "firmware upgrade and initialization" it prompt me that this device is not supported!
lastly when I am in downloading mode connecting to Kies, the application trying to connect keep circulating like trying to connect with no result.
I charged my both batteries to 100% , changed 3 PC's, used different usb cables, nothing worked.
If you have an idea to share, I would be much grateful

I was flashing new nougat king's rom for the s7 edge, however I forgot to untick autoreboot, and ofc, I got phone stuck in a bootloop....
I tried plugging it in, but PC doesn't recognize it at all, nothing like I didn't plug anything in, and OFC it doesn't show up in odin, that is the main problem.
Also I tried to force restart and enter recovery or download mode, nothing is possible, I restart with power+vol down, and when I switch buttons to power+home+ vol up (or down depends what I try to enter) nothing happens. I thought my timing may be a bit off, but I even used a stopwatch to know when it will restart and switch to another combination faster. I tried that many many times.... I saw somebody succeed here, but not me, should I let go of all buttons before pressing another combination? (I tried both anyways, but I am gonna keep trying)
Also my previous rom was note 7 rom, and I got a note saying that they will disable charging of my phone for last few days. I don't know how they are doing it, over OTA update or what?
Phone is Always on now showing "Samsung Galaxy s7 edge powered by android" i can only restart it, I don't know if I should let battery drain and phone turn off, because if I could turn it off, I am sure I would be able to enter recovery or download mode, but I don't know if it will charge when battery is empty, because of that "update" samsung is trying to push to note 7 phones.
Sry for the length, but I stated most things this way, pls help, thanks!!!!
OFC I forgot something, when I plug it in the wall, I don't think it is charging, no led light showing that it is
