Alright, allow me to summerize to you guys the series of screw ups that happened in the day that I've had my captivate.
Basically, it's like this. I got this phone from my brother (it used to be his). Now when I got it, I began basically erasing his contents and setting up mine. The Phone is on the Cognition OS and everything seemed fine.
Now, when I tried to set up my google account, it said I had to do a factory reset, I did that. Then I realized the market place app was no longer there :/
I did another factory reset, still didn't help, and started looking around for info.
I told my buddy this and he said he could fix it. So he get's the update.zip for rooting the phone, sets it up on the SD card, and goes to root the phone normally. Except when he restarts the phone after, it doesn't go to the set up screen, so he just starts it normally and enters the setup screen by holding home+volume up+power.
Then he presses the reinstall packages, and the phone seems to get to work on the update pack...
Now, every time I turn on the phone the voice says "converting data partition to optimize extension four", turns off, then repeats.
I've looked up this problem and it seems to have something to do with voodoo, but the causes in the other cases the causes were different.
Can someone please help me out here? I've also tried doing a hard reset by holding the volume down button and pressing power, but nothing seems to take me to the recovery mode.
HELP.
Did you pull the battery during this our did you let it run? Should let it run.
Does your phone boot up at all?
At&t or rogers?
Do you have a windows pc with usb drivers installed?
What its your build number, located under battery, something like 1008?
Answer these questions and we can get you back up and running
-Well after he did the reinstall thing we let it run for like 15 minutes, then he pulled the battery out.
-The phone only shows the AT&T screen, say's the "converting data partition..." thing, then goes blank and does it again. I've let it run for like 10-15 minutes before having to turn it off because I couldn't have the speech going off.
-I have a windows PC, and but I'm not sure if I have the drivers installed. I have Kies installed and when I plugged the phone in before Kies could recognize the phone (though it wouldn't fully connect, it would just say "connecting" on the kies screen).
-The Model is SGH-I897, that's the only relevant thing I see under the battery, that good enough?
Thanks a lot.
No, your phone has a build, on phone under battery, the word build is not listed. Something between 1006-1012
If we are going to do this you need to be active, I can not wait 20 minutes in between responses
Sorry the internet kinda crapped out actually.
And I see a 1007 between the bar codes, that it?
Yes
Before we get started try this
Take battery, sim, ext sd our of phone
Plug usb into pc but not phone
Put battery back in
Hold volume up and down, while holding plug in usb
Screen should come on with android with shovel
You can pull the battery again
Confirm this happened
Yep, it happened.
It may be easier if we use gtalk, log in on your pc using google id, send me an invite [email protected]. This way we know when each other respond

Have you gone back to stock and then reflashed? Seems like some files are getting corrupted. Because you have a voodoo kernel I would follow these steps. Make sure to back up.
1. Use Odin to flash a non vodoo kernel.
2. Flash stock rom and master clear
3. Reflash rom of choice if it is 2.2
3a. If you want 2.3 follow the tut on it.
4. Breath a sigh of releive lol
Galaxy tab 2 7 P3113. Actual ROM: pacman based on android 4.2.2. ROM used when it first failed was a 4.1.2 stock based rom for P31xx).
i never dropped the tablet. the problem started after connecting to the pc for transfering photos.
it simply shutdown on connect and when this happen the device stay off even when i use the power button. cant use recovery or go in download mode. the only way to start the system is to use wall charger and the recovery or download mode buttons when the batterie icon started to show the charge animation. the date and time reset. i can disconnect the charger and use the device for some time but can randomly go black (no power) and the same thing happen... cant use power button or go in recovery or download mode. when the device work i can shutdown, power up and reboot normaly until it happen again.
seem to be a problem related to battery power. the battery charge and keep charge like it should, can be a problem between the battery and the board or maybe a failure of the board itself. (i know date reset on pc because there no power to keep in memory. seem to be the same on this tablet.) sd data is fine. i ask here in case it can be solved by other way than returning the device or open it.
was using a custom rom when the problem started. i tryed some other rom with full wipe with no effect.
i have seen similar issue but in my case the battery actualy charge to 100% and keep his charge normaly.
any idea how to fix this? if the only option is a return to ssamsung for repair i would like to know the step required.
note: when it fail and the device is connected to pc i ear constant connect/disconnect sound from pc and it look for omap4430 driver.

ok , another thing... i tried to connect it to my pc this time it work and i was able to transfer stuff to it. i unpluged and pluged again, no failure... the only thing i did was a few gentle tap on the back of the device to see if it was related to a bad connection to the battery. i also did a factory reset. will see if the device can stay unconnected without failure. anyway i have to wait for samsung reply.

Hello, my Photon started acting up really weird. First of all, it was really slow. I thought it's because I had like 150MB left and it was nearly full data-wise. However, I erased most of the data, and left it with 3GB left. Didn't work and it got worse.
I have these stripes around the display (just at sides, not at middle), while phone is turned on. Doesn't matter if in system, or at boot logo. Doesn't matter, because whenever I get to system, I can be in system for like 1 minute, then every application starts crashing (Apex launcher, Google play, whatever you pick) and I basically can't get anywhere. Also if I go to sleep mode, phone is basically dead and it's pure luck when I will turn on phone again. I am trying every few minutes and it's worthless, because any time I get to system anyway, I crash after few seconds.
What to do? I was planing to install custom ROM yesterday, but never got to that, because this all started to act up. So what should I do? Reset system? Any other ideas? Is phone dead?
Sorry for bad english, no bully please.
Thanks in advance
Update - now when I am trying to start up my phone, I have just black screen with white lines in the middle. Then phone shuts down. I will give more info when I will be at home and can get phone on charger
Well definitely try to charge the device up. You might try re-flashing the stock ROM using RSD Lite... Although from your description I fear your issue may be hardware related.
Could turn device on. Apparently that black screen with white lines was just discharged phone. When I put it on charger, I could again boot into system and it was working until I pressed power button to go to sleep mode and phone is again dead. Will try to flash RSD Lite later today and will post what happened

Charge the device as much as you possibly can before doing anything with RSD. Ideally you should have at least 50% battery in the device when flashing anything.
This is really miserable. I can't really get into bootloader. Because phone after that 'crash' or whatever you want to call it is dead and I can't even see if it's turned on or not. Basically I am randomly waiting when it's gonna restart and then I just get into system. Even if I fully discharge it, it will have black screen with white lines first, it flashes quite couple times and then it will finally boot into system. Also I remember it was ***** in past to get into recovery. Can I do anything from system? Because as soon as I don't turn off my screen by power button, phone is working, though it has those lines on side of LCD (I will try to borrow camera from someone and post it here today).
I set automatic turning screen off for 10 minutes and I am really careful about pressing power button. Sucks there is only option for just 10 minutes, so I have to tap on screen at least for once every 10 minutes or I will not have working phone. **** my life, really.

Why can't you turn the phone off and charge it while off, or boot to recovery and charge the phone in recovery?

About charging it while turned off - Can't because when I try to turn it on again, it's roulette when I get finally bootloader logo and not black screen with white stripes.
And boot to recovery. Is it possible to like download some command prompt application and boot to bootloader from there? I know when I had my G1 (and when I actually understood android ) you could boot to recovery or bootloader via console. I have astro installed on phone, so downloading some console application and installing it shouldn't be problem.
Btw as we are speaking, I tried to call someone and I basically get same thing like when I am going to sleep mode, I get black screen and now I am just waiting, when phone will eventually want to restart itself.

Still sounds like some sort of a hardware issue, is the phone new to you?
You can certainly force bootloader mode, in several ways. When it's off you can hold power + camera and it will give you a choice of what to boot. When it's in Android you can do "adb reboot recovery" or "adb reboot bootloader" depending on where you want to end up. There are various apps which can also do this for you, if you are on the stock ROM but rooted.

Phone is not new. I bought it used about one year ago.
I am not entirely new to android, but I didn't have android phone for 2 years and then I got this one. So I am really pretty **** with android atm
I will try reboot to bootloader from some console application.
I am rooted, opened bootloader, stock rom
Finally got into recovery, what now?
Also, when I once booted to system, I downloaded some root checking app, and root apparently isn't here. Well cornholio told me it is rooted back when I gave him my phone to perform sim card mod, but whatever. However, I am in recovery, but device is not detected by RSD Lite.

Well reading back thru this thread, I was suggesting RSD Lite back to stock. I'm not really sure what you want to achieve tho, what your "final" goal is here.
I'm not even sure what kind of recovery you are booted into - stock recovery? CWM?
Either way, if you want to RSD the phone back to stock, you need to boot into fastboot/bootloader mode - not recovery. Just make sure the phone is charged up as much as possible before flashing in RSD.
Oh, sorry - misunderstanding from my side, thought I can switch to fastboot from recovery, oh well.
Also yeah, stock recovery.
To spread more facts - in case somebody would have similiar problems, when I try to just turn phone on, I have zero success what so ever. There's just this blank black page flashing every few seconds. However, when I remove back cover, I somehow force phone to load to bootloader logo, then I finally get chance to force phone to get to recovery. I will try to get to fastboot

Not sure if stock recovery has adb enabled, but if you have adb you can 'adb reboot bootloader'.
Otherwise do the power+cam trick I mentioned earlier.

Did you remove the getvar lines from the xml file...?
Yes
Weird. I only recall seeing that when people were trying to downgrade... but you are flashing 4.1.2.
The phone is in fastboot mode? What happens when you click "show device"? The "Device Properties" section is eerily empty.
I know it sounds shady, when I am coming back here again in few weeks, just been a bit busy lately, sorry about that.
However, somehow I got phone to flash it. The white graphical lines on sides dissapeared, however I got some new bug - I can't use phone in portrait mode, just in landscape - aka I need to swipe keyboard to have phone working. Also, that thing when phone completely stops working now occurs only when I am in that portrait mode, but I can restart phone this time.
When I finished this, it was midnight so I went to bad, so I tried to set up alarm, if it's gonna randomly shutdown like before and unfortunately, yes it did. I was waken up with this classical white line graphical bug black screen and had to reboot the phone. Oh well, managed to boot to system and it takes 5 minutes to fetch sim card (I have sim card mod from cornholio) and as I said, those white lines on side aka mysterious graphical bug is back.
Unfortunately for me, starts looking like real hardware issue now
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 and there is no ROM on it. It had TWRP installed and working, but today it stopped booting. If I push the power button
nothing happens like the battery is dead. I went ahead and bought a new OEM battery and put it into the phone. I plug in the charger and for a
few seconds, the black screen shows a battery in the middle with a lightning bolt. Then it goes back to black ... I let it charge overnight but when I
go to turn it on, it still does nothing. no matter how long I hold the power button, nothing happens. I tried power + home + Vol and still nothing.
Just a black screen and no LEDs light up. Nothing ... if I plug it back into power the battery icon shows again in the middle of the screen with a
lightning bolt, then goes back to black.
What could this mean ?? Is there anything I can try ? the phone was booting into twrp just fine until today.
Please help !!

I dont have that phone so cant suggest you any roms, just make sure its stock and latest. Also i doubt that its a battery issue as a brand new battery has some charge which should have turned on the phone when you tried.
you can download your stock rom here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
download the latest one.

Hi -
I am a bit confused ... how can I flash anything if the phone will not turn on ? I can't even use Odin. If I push the power button on the phone
nothing happens. The only action I ever see is when I plug in the power cord to the phone, for about 5 seconds a big picture of a battery
with a lightning bolt through it, then the screen goes black again.
Thoughts please ???
Thank you
PS. I have tried different chargers and different batteries, but still the same result's.

Since you're new, have you tried pulling the battery, putting it back, then holding power, home, and volume down buttons simultaneously? It wasn't clear if that was the problem with using Odin or not.

Hi again -
first off Yes I have tried power-vol-home but again nothing happens. No screen. Just black. The ONLY TIME the screen comes on is if I put the charger into the phone..the screen ONLY comes on for 5 seconds displays the battery and shuts OFF. I have NO ROM / NO TWRP. . it is all gone. I had TWRP but if its there I cannot boot to it. No fast download / download / recovery nothing happens, only the battery ICON for 5 seconds. I have tried three batteries and none of them will help. It will NOT charge either.
Also Sandeepkumar - sorry I was not clear. There is NO OS. No Rom. So there is no way to turn on usb debugging. Please help ! If you have any other ideas, or you need any more info from me
Thanks again all !!
PS... Just so you all know, It was ALL working prior to this. It was rooted/TWRP/Custom ROM ... all fine. Then I deleted ROM/OS by mistake from TWRP, then this all happened

right, so now what we need to do is , connect your phone to computer while the device manager is opened on it. that way we can check if computer recognises the device in any mode. if it shows something in usb section then maybe we can look for a way to bring the phone in download mode or some other mode.

Okay, we must not check this pc for the device, open device manager using windows + X. Then selecting device manager from that black menu that pops up. Inside device manager, look for the list of usb devices, it should be near the end of list. Now when you plug a usb, you either see usb mass storage device or you see unrecognised device. Check what happens when you plug the phone and battery sign shows up

Okay, so if the phone doesnt show up in device manager then i guess there is nothing that we can do. I have ran out of ideas. Maybe its time to send it to customer support.
As you're trying all this, is your battery fully charged?

Oh ... Well I assume it doesnt show because it is not turned on. I guess my only option is to get a standalone charger and charge the battery then try again ,,,
Other than that .. IDK.
thanks anyway .

I hope you get the device working. Good luck and please share what happened.
FYI I charged the battery in a universal charger, now phone boots fine. Battery was just too low to take a charge from phone.
Thanks again
Hello, recently I started reading comics and found my old tab lying around so ill give it a go
First thing first it wont boot becaue it had no charge obviously (been there for like some years), then I tried to plug the charger but to no avail
I cleaned the contacts of the charger with a dry brush and start charging which then my tab starts charging!
when I booted, I think it was CM 12 (or 13? the one with andy I believe) and everything is force stopping.
I then tried to go to recovery mode and wipe data, but when i rebooted it it just stuck with the splash screen (the one before bootanimation)
I turned the tab off and tried to boot to download/recovery mode but it would just boot me right to the splash screen again, which mean i cant go to TWRP or ODIN.
And it doesn't always want to turn on, sometimes it just stuck there with black screen (not turned on) even if i press power/combo button, sometimes it pop up to the splash screen. what i notice is that i should wait for the charging indicator to show up before i can try to boot again (i got enough juice now, 56% the last time it turned on)
also one thing i remember is something about F2FS but im not sure what that is, but that might be a clue to my situation so ill just write this down here
Hi
Same here with P5110 and Slim7. I can't start it anymore....
I didn't use it for some time and then i charged it to 100% and it started but everything seemed to lag. Then i turned it off and wanted to look for another rom or a newer build. But i can't start it anymore. when i plug in the charger i can see the charging screen but beside of that i can do nothing. It has no effect when i push the on/off button or anything else...and it has to be at nearly 100%...
