Can't get into download mode. Tablet only shows a phone, a triangle and a computer...

I can't get download mode.
My tablet was off... when I turned on, was on a bootloop. I couldn't get into recovery, then I've enter into download mode. I tried to flash a stock rom, but odin failed.
Then I lost download mode and the tablet only shows a phone, a triangle and a computer.
When I plug to charger, doesn't shows the battery icon, but battery charges.
Maybe this is a brick?...
Thanks!

I might not be able to help but you can, can you let us know what ROM/recovery/what you were doing before you turned off your tab and anything else you can think of that may be relevant
Thanks

It's download mode with a different interface Reflash your Tab, use Odin.

I've installed cyanogen 10.1 RC without problems. The tablet worked fine. Then I plugged the tablet to charge. When I took again the tablet (after 10 hours more or less) it was off.
In this mode (triangle, computer, phone), I'm trying flashing a stock rom. Without pit file, odin fails saying "write error", and with pit file and repartion checkbox marked sais "there's no pit partition".
Only way to turn off the tablet is quitting the battery. When I put again the battery, the tablet still is off; but when I try to turn on/get into download mode/get into recovery... only shows the triangle, phone and computer screen...
I think that my galaxy tab is bricked... :crying:
Sorry about my bad english and thanks for your answers.

Try heimdall. Never tried by myself flashing system partition using it but work for recovery, boot, and param partition.

Try to go into download mode and flash a custom recovery using odin. I recommend CWM. Then try to go into recovery mode and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and factory reset (NOTE: It will delete EVERYTHING and your tab will be like out of the box). Now try to boot into android, if android doesn't boots up then use odin to flash a custom rom or find a stock rom for your device and then your tablet should be fine.
Good luck :thumbup: and happy flashing .
And if you found this helpful then don't forget to hit the thanks button.

Nothing...
I've tried Heimdall and doesn't detect my device. I've tried to install another one CWM and the same problem...
I've reinstalled the samsung drivers into 2 computers, differents usb ports... no recovery, no download mode and the charging icon (battery icon) doesn't appear (but charges).
I think my tab is dead... I don't know how more I can do it.
Thanks for the ideas

OK, first off, that screen is a FORCED DOWNLOAD MODE, it will happen for several reasons (usually a bad ROM flash), all you had to do was flash the stock .tar file via Odin.
Your first mistake was checking "repartition" in Odin, YOU NEVER EVER WANT TO DO THAT EVER, now since you didn't have a PIT hopefully it just cancelled out before doing anything bad. try reflashing in Odin with the stock ROM.
Heimdall will not work just because you have the drivers for Odin, infact Heimdall has it's own DRIVER that will override the Samsung driver Odin uses on the USB port (and usually any other USB on that stack) you connect the tablet to when you do the driver install step in Heimdall.
FYI, if you are on windows 8 there is a good chance you still can't do jack yet, to my knowledge windows 8 PC's are a no go for android ROM flashing.

The computers I've tried to flash with odin are with windows 8. But I flash my phone without problems...
Maybe with another windows version. I'll give a try this afternoon at home.
Thanks!!

I've only used Windows 8 for flashing so far and works perfectly fine in my experience

Trying with a pc on windows xp and the same situation... odin sais allways the same...
I've put a pit file that I found called "signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit". I can't remember if I used another time... I'm not sure. But this last time I use it.
Could I do something more??...

YOU shouldn't EVER use a PIT file in Odin, especially if your not even sure it's the right one, using an incorrect PIT file can totally screw up your device.
The ONLY time you could ever need a PIT file is if you flashed a ROM that changed the format of the partition tables (like rfs to mtd or bml) which to my knowledge non of the ROM for these tablets do that.

Hrmmm... Have you tried to see if Samsung Kies can do anything about it?
I mean, really. Your system partition is corrupt so i doubt it can detect anything.
As a last resort could you open up the tab and pull out the battery? Or even let the battery completely run out?

I've already pulled out the battery many times. Letting the tab without battery at least 1 hour... 1 day... and when I plug it and try to access to download mode... only the same screen (triangle, phone and computer).

[Q] Samsung says our GT-P3113 is "dead." Is it?

Son was playing Words With Friends and this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" GT-P3113 was acting up. Only other recent change was my wife downloaded a Southern Living magazine. The screen went dark blue like it was on but not responsive.
None of the lengthy holding down the Power or Power and Volume Up would ever produce a reboot, only a battery symbol. I did get it into the load an alternate OS screen, but didn't try it.
Took into a Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy and they said it was DEAD. Apologized that this year and a half old unit was done and said that was "probably not what we were expecting as far as lifespan of the unit." Ya think????
Came home, as a complete noob with nothing to lose and downloaded Odin and the files to try and load the recovery. Odin recognized the device and tried to start installing but got to the first step and FAILED. Something about NAND.
So in your opinion is this completely dead or maybe I don't have the right files? If you have current links to the right files please point them out to me. I've spent tons of times find links that are dead.
Thanks!

Does it mean you could reach the download mode? That would mean your Tab is not "dead".... (what kind of guy was that in the service?)
Try to see if you can get into the recovery mode (keep pressed power button & volume up and after Samsung logo appears second time, release the power button and keep the other one still pressed for about 5sec). If you get there, make factory reset and reboot. This will wipe your data....
Or if you can access download mode (power & volume down) turn it on again and download some recent firmware from www.sammobile.com exactly for your Tab model. In such case, reply my post and I will write you how to flash it with Odin.

No logo for reboot, which sammobile files?

Tetakpatak,
Thanks for jumping in!!!
1. That's the thing. We can never get the unit itself to the logo screen using that method, only the battery screen with a little sunshine symbol inside of it and only when the unit is plugged in.
2. I found sammobile before but my search for GT-P3113 produces only Cellular South files. This is a wifi tab only without a carrier. Does that make a difference? Can I use any of the listed files? Should I try each one?
Thanks!!!

No luck with sammobile files yet

tetakpatak, thanks for your help! please see my other reply.
i went ahead and tried one of the sammobile files. guessing as to which one because this is a wifi not cellular tab. when i ran it i got...

>boot.img
>NAND Write Start!!
>FAIL!

>Complete(Write) operation failed.
>All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Does this mean it is completely dead or do I need to keep trying files from sammobile?
Thanks!!!

Hmmm, it isn't definitely dead, of course. That guy in the service was anyway bit dumb IMO.
With JTAG, man of skills can repair any device, no matter how hard bricked.
Actually to get further, it would help to know if you can reach download mode or recovery mode?

Tried two more from sammobile

Tetakpatak,
Tried two more from sammobile and both failed. Once mentioned NAND and the other did not. I see there is a NAND Erase option in Odin. Is that something I should be checking before Starting?
Not sure what else to do.
Thanks.

Sure, I can hold Power and Volume Down to get to the screen to load a custom OS.
I'm
1. Opening Odin
2. Loading in the file from sammobile in the AP field
3. Leaving Auto Reboot and F, Reset Time checked.
4. Letting Odin check the validity of the sammobile file
5. Then plugging in the GT-P3113 and hitting Start in Odin
Thanks.

OK, @dailyvideo don't flash any P3110 build because the bootloaders differ in something!!
I have got meanwhile for you download links of an excellent stock UEUCMK3 firmware for your P3113 click HERE or you can also download it HERE
Now your flashing checklist:
use entirely Odin v1.85 or 3.04
run Odin as administrator
choose any stock firmware for your Tab and download (you probably did already), unzip it and you will get one tar-md5 file
tap in Odin on PDA, choose that extracted single tar.md5 file
run now (not before) your Tab into download mode
connect it with USB cable
Odin must display "Added" in status bar, left on the bottom
Odin must also display ID:COM port numer above it
If both there, click on "START"
Good luck!

Didn't work
I was using Odin 3.09 so I went back to 3.04 per your suggestion. I tried UEUCMK3 firmware I had already downloaded. Still didn't work...

NAND is vital part of the device, IDK if it has to do with the bootloader. We might need a developer's advice, @Android-Andi, what do you think- can we help this poor mate?

Tetapatak, Thanks for all your attempts to help! Super appreciate that.
Did you need me to reach out to @Android-Andi or did you post do that automatically?
I saw another post where someone did a partition and then came back and did your procedure and it worked but it wasn't for a GT-P3113. Not sure if that would work. I won't try it unless directed to.
Thanks.

He will see our mentioning and check this as soon as he can (he works now).
Try to google a bit about NAND partition, don't panic and have bit of patience, we will try to solve it.
Service can solve it for sure (not the dumb guy you've talked to )

Will wait

Thanks will wait to hear back from you guys. Really can't tell you how thankful I am.
To the guy's credit at the Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy he couldn't get the OS screen to come up. I have trouble with it too at times unless there is enough of a charge. He said if he could get it to a certain point he could drill in and work with the code and really wanted to. I think because he could get to the OS screen he just assumed it was dead. To his credit too his dad died within 48 hours of our visit to the store.
Looking forward to the wizard advice.

Brother, Try using this .pit file that i am gonno share :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvn09tw1780irei/gt-p3110.pit
click on PDA in Odin and navigate to .pit file you have downloaded.
Now select the firmware you have downloaded as PDA and make sure only reboot option,,Repartition and reset time are checked.
Try this and give me a feedback soon.

Lokesh,
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Just to clarify. Are you saying load your .pit file with the PIT button because when I click PDA to try and load that a .pit is not a valid extension.
Also, are you saying to load the .pit with PIT and the .md5 file with PDA ans Start with the Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time Options checked?

Lokesh,
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Just to clarify. Are you saying load your .pit file with the PIT button because when I click PDA to try and load that a .pit is not a valid extension.
Also, are you saying to load the .pit with PIT and the .md5 file with PDA ans Start with the Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time Options checked?
Just making sure I have all this right.
Thanks.

You should choose in Odin just like last time: firmware under PDA. In addition, also choose PIT file under PIT. The PIT file will ensure your system partitions will be set properly.
If this also fails, it is possible that your internal memory is maybe corrupted and nothing can be written on the card.

SM-N915A , unable to boot, Odin failed, now bricked.

Hi All,
I was using the SM-N915A as normal...then i left it idle for a while and came back saw it kept resetting itself. I tried clear cache partition already didnt' work. It keeps looping on startup after the samsung logo. It got worst as time went on, it wont even load into recovery anymore, it just loads with the android icon saying it's updating then freezes and restarts....I read that I can manual recover using Odin. I used odin and a stock rom to fix it, but the rom failed now i am bricked. Please help.

Thanks, I managed to use the pit file and it got pass the brick page.
However, now the system goes into the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge loading screen and just stays there for a very long time and then restarts itself again....I pulled the battery out to manual shutdown (power button will not shut it down) and tried to go into recovery mode, it says loading recovery, but ends up restarting back to the Samsung loading screen indefinitely again. I would assume that's because the rom is dead at this point, and I would need to go to dl mode and flash a new stock rom back in ? What is my next step ?

You know what, try to clean power button. It may sticks. Pull battery and put small drop of rubbing alcohol. Then press couple times ( with out battery). Let dry for 10 min( you may use hair dryer on low power) . Put battery back and let us know.

can't you use samsung kies?

Hi to all. I was trying to recover some files with DrFone when it tried to root my phone. The rooting process failed and the phone bricked. If I try to power it on, it appears the writing "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Obviously kies can't connect to the phone.
If I press pwr+vol_dn+home and then select "volume up" the phone goes in download mode but doesn't accept the reset of drfone, the download process freeze at half...
What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

You have to reset your phone, to do so turn it off, go to recovery(press power,home , vol up key simultaneously) then use vol key to move up down, select format or factory reset whatever is present there and then apply it.....it will fix your problem

Open Odin on computer select PIT/AP and locate firmware you just downloaded connect your phone through usb when it show [com 6 ] or something like that then press start, leave it till process complete, it will reboot in between the process, dont panic just wait till it say ok.....turn it on injoy, i hope you didn't installed any custom ROMs like cyanogen 12,13,14 etc. If you did, then you have to factory reset it as i mentioned earlier

SM-G920I stuck in boot loop, only boots into Download Mode

Hi all,
Long story short, phone got water damage, left in rice for month, tried to boot and it shows Samsung logo and reboots.
Tried several things which I'll list below, never got anywhere and I'd throw the phone back in a drawer and then a few months later I'd take it out and give it another go
Already have replacement but was looking to hopefully get family photos off it (yes I backup everything now)
So i've tried the following different Odin versions:
3.09, 3.10.6 + 3.12.3
I've downloaded my firmware version G920IDVU3FQF5_G920IVNZ3FQF1_VNZ from SamMobile webite and flashed with that.
Still same issue.
After flashing firmware I have also tried the following different versions of TWRP:
twrp-2.8.6.0-zeroflte.img
twrp-2.8.6.1-zeroflte.img
twrp-2.8.6.2-zeroflte.img
twrp-3.1.1-0-zeroflte.img
Still same issue although I do get the red text "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" along side Samsung Logo but reboots as always.
If only I could get into Recovery I could then mount SD and hopefully get access to photos.
Also tried using ADB to push and pull but no go :silly:
Am I missing something stupid?
I do have the pit file for my model but I'm under the impression it re-partitions everything and I'm guessing that would lose all data so I haven't tried that.
Also tried Samsung Smart Switch but it doesn't find the phone as I can only get it in Download Mode.
Any help would be appreciated :good:

HERE you got all. Try latest stock firmware which you get via SamFirm. But BTW I don't wish good future for that phone after swimming in water

Try to hold Volume - + Home + Power for 30 sec and when phone restart (when you see Samsung logo) directly switch from Volume - to Volume + but hold also another two buttons, you should get recovery menu.

Still no recovery, the phone doesn't hold a charge anymore so it could be a motherboard issue too.
Doesn't turn on at all if not plugged into charger or PC. As soon as I plug it in it shows Android logo and reboots instantly.
Holding Volume Up + Power + Home does nothing, phone just keeps rebooting.
Only when I hold Volume Down + Power + Home does it show the warning screen and I can then choose Volume Up to Continue or Down to Cancel and reboot.
Think I've reached the limit with this phone

You holded phone in rice for a month etc, but while phone were in water battery was still connected to mobo, and that could makes shocks on mobo and now something can be just burned. And every battery after contact with water will don't hold charge as should
