There's no way to remove the battery since it's like hardbound inside. Drain it to turn it on sir.

Yeah you should get it plugged via APX mode. Press it for 15 secs both then connect it via USB, After that you can hold it down via tape, the power button only.

So did you get it working? If it did I'm glad for you ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
tried it for the first time, didn't work and i'm giving it another try. I taped the power button to drain the battery completely, i'm gonna leave it for another day. Then tape both (power and vol +) and plug into the computer until it stops popping up ? then plug it into the socket to see if the charging icon show up ?

am i doing it right ?

my tablet is a galaxy 10.1V
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Nono, Just the power button to clear the power cycle, No need to tape the volume button, Once it's in the APX mode, you just need to hold down power button and it will keep looping. when it stops appearing in device manager, It's completely drained. Actually, once it's completely drained, you need to plug it via socket charger to see if the charge icon shows up :] Then you're ready for Odin :]
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnoWake4Me:
Thanks so much for the helpful post, and detailed instructions.

I've drained my battery, 100% - confirmed by connecting to PC, not detected. Plugged it into wall charger, got the 'battery charging' indicator.

From there, I boot into Download mode, and fire up Odin. The device is detected on an appropriate COM port, and I can push a CWM or stock recovery image, and get a big green PASS. (usually - I've performed these steps several times, and occasionally it Odin will hang)

And yet - the device will never boot to completion, nor can I get into recovery mode.

I'm confident an underlying problem is that the device was (IS) encrypted - which is confirmed when rebooting normally: I get the pre-boot authentication page prompting for (and confirming) the passphrase - and then the android / gear outline, then... black screen. Nothing.

When attempting to select recovery mode - same thing: screen goes black, and nothing (same results whether stock or CWM recovery flashed).

Thanks again for the information - I'll keep reading, and testing - and appreciate any insight anyone may have.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Actually this is what I mentioned earlier, The problem is you have

one chance per drain

and you used that to flash CWM :P If I were you, I would suggest flashing a firmware, Probably 3.2 HC EU/US firmware of your choice. Then when you get it to boot (You should feel that slight vibration when you boot it up) after it works, you need to shut it down properly and flash the CWM.

I made the same mistake :P Cost me again another 8 hrs, Just for 5mins charging. FML. :(

However i have updated the OP with a slight "Edit" note :P

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBarry:
i have tried 3 times already, didn't work ... what kind of tablet you tested the on ? mine in galaxy 10.1v.

what i did is .. i taped the power button for about 2 days, then when i plug it into the computer i can see it popping repeatedly and it won't stop because as far as i know its actually charging from my computer ..:confused:

i have actullly disassembled it and took the battery out .. but i just turned it on normally and same thing (black screen) , according to you i should not turn it on just like that .. however i should power it into recovery mod.

my question are: is taking the battery out as same as draining the battery ?

because i still couldn't figure out how to drain the battery and test that at the same time

thanks in advance, and i'm just trying to give it coupe of tries before i lose hope :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Actually yes taking the battery out is the same as draining it because in truth the tablet isn't like a phone where you can pop out the battery, You can however remove it since you have disassembled it already. Instead of draining it, Try Power and Vol Down directly after popping the battery back in. Once you get into fastboot mode you need to flash the firmware via Odin. I wouldn't lose hope if I were you :] I had the same issue, Then I fixed mine.

Yeah one was the 10.1v and the 10.1 both were fixed the same method.

This however shall give you hope :] Once bricked for a week, Now alive.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atif.sami:
my Galaxy Tab 10.1 was bricked second time in one month, this really is a annoying issue, unfortunately samsung doesn't provide warranty in my country, not uptill now. First time I had to give it to the market for repair, the person charged me around $50 for the repair and did that in one week. The symptom were the same, I turned it off and it never came back online.

Second time, i had no choice but to dive into the issue and solve it myself, as it was totally insane to pay this much for every time my tab throws tantrum at me.

This time I discharged it fully, as you told, and tried to check it by plugging it into the system, but every time it appeared as APX device, so out of frustration I just plugged it in to the socket, and voila the battery icon appeard, i let it charge for sometime, pull out the charger and boot it normally by pressing the power button, and guess what it was back online, with all the data and everything. I had a hunch that it would turn on as, the first time, when sent to market, sharing my lattitude with my dad i was appearing at the shop location, meaning it worked there, that stupid opportunist simply wiped it and charged me $50. But now i know how to save that money :)

PS: I was able to identify the cause of the issue, atleast what happened with me was that i powered off the tab while plugged into socket both of the time, it never came back. Something you might avoid for this problem to occur.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
For some odd reason it happens different for most tabs, I don't know if this is Samsung's first dedicated tablet apart from the 7" that was a huge wafer or a loaf of bread :P But as far as I know that was just an oversized phone without much tablet dedication compared to this. In my case dad had turned off the tablet while it was on a bootloop and it never turned on again, that is until I tried out the above method and it worked, So far so good I'm on the CM9 Kang and no issues so far. Thank tablet God.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eiranova:
i've used a terminal app to force my 10.1 p7510 to charge when plugged in into the usb.. now i'm also thinking that it might be charging even while it's on DSOD or bricked.. : /

i guess to avoid getting bricked is to never turn it off.. sigh.. just keep on killing apps, clearing memory, etc..

i'm still hoping and waiting for it to be drained.. tried plugging it in for about 3 seconds to check if the battery icon would pop-up nothing.. so back to plugging it into my pc and taping the power button in..

Quick Update:

the tape keeps on loosening (don't want to stick it too much over the screen since it might pull off the matte screen protector) so i took 2 rubber bands and affixed it to my tablet.. made sure it was tight enough to pull down/in the power button ^^
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
I just happened to use one of those 3M Scotch tape I had lying around in the house, was pretty good and didn't leave any tape marks on the device. Yeah offline charging apparently is a bad thing for the tablet which is why I never chose to keep/enable it despite it was already there via Overcome ROM. Easiest way to drain it is by holding the power button down, best be unplugged and leave it to drain that's the only way you'll know it doesn't get charged, should take a max about a day or more depending on the % of charge it has.

One thing I found out was, You can never really brick the tablet completely, Unless ofcourse you flashed some other device's firmware on it. I do hope the ICS official release has some sort of fix to this, rather than the boring immense hours you would have to wait or pay just to get it fixed.

I do however wonder how many have gotten their tablets fixed via this method..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eiranova:
well you know what? i've just arrived from work and i turn on the speaker of my pc and it's still doing the badump-badump sound.. so now i'm guessing it's looping the on and off thing as well as the usb charging feature.. so now i'm gonna leave it again for day UNPLUGGED from my pc and hopefully tomorrow night it'll be all ready for reflashing.. sigh..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Yeah don't worry so much about it, You'll know if you did it right when you plug it into the socket and you see the battery charge icon, That's a sign that's it's completely drained and recharging from scratch :) Remember to flash a stock firmware first as that fixes the broken bootloader. Recovery module won't do much.

Do keep me updated :)

If the device had a near full charge when you banded it it could take a long time to wear down....keep it taped up and try again in a week.....only thing I can think of aside from opening the case.

There's a guide on how to remove the battery on IFixit: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Tab+10.1+Battery+Replacement/18432

Also if it was bricked due to the eMMC brick bug then the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard. That is why they call it the "superbrick" brick bug.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markiempje2:
Hey Guys,

thanks for the elaborate guide!

it did not fix my Galaxy tab unfortnunately. I completely discharged the battery with an external battery discharger, popped it back in, and taped the power button untill the voltage dropped under 2.5V. then it stopped showing voltages, so it was completely drained. when i then plug it into the wall socket charger nothing happens. when i connect it to the PC it is recognised as "NVIDAE USB boot-recovery driver for Mobile-devices". it then also started charging the battery...

I can connect with it using NVFlash but i am getting the 0x4 error. Latest posts about this are from 2014, so i hope now mid 2015 someone can give me a topic where someone fixed this maybe?

So bootloader is broken, cant get into download mode, Bootloader is locked, im super stuck.

anyone any tips?

thanks in advance!

Dear Misledz, I cannot thank you enough for being the only solution that brought my galaxy tab to life. For anyone else that tried everything I can assure you this is the only option for a completely dead P7500.

I had this tab gathering dust for a long time before reaching this post so the battery was dead, had to order a new one from aliexpress for 13$, then tried this and now is running stock 4.0

Thanks again!

--------edit--------

The sleep of death comes back if I let the tablet run out of battery, what occurs very fast since the table cannot enter deep sleep.

i went to the samsung service center in cyberzone sm north annex awhile ago and they said that they do fix no power issues for the samsung galaxy tab. but there's a check-up fee of P560. it was ok for me unfortunately their receiving time is only up to 7pm. so i'll check again tomorrow, maybe it'll just cost me 1k to fix this issue than wait 1 week or more.. : /
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Hmm, SM, Philippines :P We're not far apart after all.

I do hope that you won't spend more for the repair than the actual usage. I would suggest you to experience fixing this on your own, because truth be told, if it happens again (God forbid) you would be required to spend from your pocket (And we all know in PH 1k isn't a small amount -.-)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
unfortunately the drain occurs only when

1) LED Has been lit up?

2) The modules have been loaded

Even if you did plug something into the audio port, there is no actual audio being loaded so there isn't really a drain, just keep the power button held down via tape or something and just leave it be eventually the backlight will turn off (RIP) :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eiranova:
woot finally!! it's now back up and working (didn't need to reflash rom)

one thing i'd like to change from your guide (disconnect from pc if you have the usb charge option on, just use a rubber band to have power button pressed all the time and use the original ac plug to test if battery had been fully drained)

also it wasn't mentioned that after you plug it into the socket (assuming you feel that the battery had been fully drained) you need to press and hold the power button for maybe 5-10secs until you see the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" message since you won't see the "Battery" icon right away when you plug it in. you would still need to press the power button for a couple of seconds : j

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inkydink:
Hi, I've left my unit on the shelf with the power button taped down for a month. I think I screwed up the 1st time so now I'm wondering :

1) When does the battery icon show up? Is it immediate? Do I have to wait 1 minute? 5 minutes? 20 minutes? I stared at it for around 5 minutes and nothing happened (or at least I think it was 5 minutes, cant tell when you stare at something)

2) After 1 month of having a USB adapter and a USB with LED plugged in and I know the LED wasnt blinking, I could not tell if it was fully drained. When I plug it into the computer, the APX thing shows up in less than 10 seconds (I did this to verify it was fully drained). Did I drain it completely before? Did I just start to charge it again?

Sigh, I've been at this for like 3 months and I'm wondering if I just really screw up each time or if my unit is really messed up since i did not uncheck the 're-partition' thing in odin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, sorry, I forgot to ask one more thing.

How much time do I have after the Battery Symbol pops up to reset with Power and Volume (-)? Do I have to push those buttons right away or do I have like 10 minutes before the cycle screws up and I have to drain again?
