[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken_symlink:
My tab isn't booting. It just says galaxy tab 7.7 on the screen and thats it.

I'm a little confused about a few things with regards to fixing it. I've never rooted or flashed any roms before. Basically, my understanding is that I want to boot it holding down power and volume down, then when asks if i'm sure if i want to continue i press volume up. I need to download a rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1469635 correct? Then I need to run odin on my laptop and just follow the rest of the guide? If that part is true, then I have problem, because I have a mbp with osx. I don't have a copy of windows. Also, all those roms are exe's, are they just self extracting archives?

Is it possible for me to just copy a rom to a sd card and have the tablet flash itself off the sd card?

Also, I seem to be able to boot my tablet holding down power and volume up (what is this mode called? booting with power and volume down is download mode right?). It says manual mode, and then does stuff about common apks, images, and music, and then reboots.

Another thing I'm confused about is, there is a desktop version of odin, and a mobile version. But, when I boot holding down power and volume down it also says odin, does that mean this had the mobile version of odin installed on it once before, because I didn't install it from the market, since this tab isn't rooted as far as I know.

I don't have CWM on this tab, but if I fix it is it worth installing CWM, will it make recovering from things like this easier? I'm just wondering because this is the second tablet I've had this happen on. I don't know this keeps happening on my tablets, but my phone has never had any problems like this.

Also, I can't get the tablet to turn off. It just keeps turning on, and I'm worried about screen burn. The battery is fully charged and I don't want to leave it on until the battery dies.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gaugerer:
I have not read through this whole thread carefully, but have you tried letting the battery go flat which is the same as removing the battery from a phone. I did that when I was in a downloading loop and it allowed me to reboot normally. However, after powering down I ended up back in the downloading loop. I think if I had done a factory reset after the re-boot then that might have fixed the problem.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken_symlink:
Well I had no choice but to let the battery drain. Its charging right now so we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I was able to download the p6800zsla2_csc_tgy image. I'm not sure if thats the right one or not. The guy I bought this tab from told me it was imported from hong kong.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken_symlink:
Everything is fine now. The original rom was showing the wrong model number. It said the tab was a gt-p7500, but its really a gt-6800. I rooted it, flashed it, and installed cwm. After I finish customizing it I will do a backup.

The other thing I was having problems with was swype, it kept saying invalid license, but flashing it seems to have fixed that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] questionmark:
I had the same kind of problem but the reason of the problem were different; it was out of my stupidity installing the noob rom from the development which is only fore the wifi tablet... So got stuck at the samsung screen and lost my CWM recovery.... Big sweat for me....

I don't know much about the standard non CWM recovery as I always root then install CWM.

So you might want to wait to see if someone can help here if you don't want to go the CWM route...

What also is weird is getting the tablet bricked while no root and all stock! - could be file system corruption in internal memory due to hardware?

In this case maybe getting a replacement?

Power + vol down allows you to go in download mode. This is not mobile Odin.

So here is what I did to recover mine from my idiotic move

1 power vol up non longer went to CWM

2 but vol down allowed me to go in download mode

3 from pc with Odin 1.85 flashed in pda recovery for GT6800 as I have 3g

-See the development section read both about root and recovery..

-see eazy rom thread it summarize very well what to get etc...

-some people mentioned they had problem with Odin on pc but that was not my case

-I just did Power +. Vol down then connected usb to pc with Odin running then vol up to go on download

-then flashed just fine CWM for 6800

4 at this point rebooted and power +. Vol up got me back in CWM and was no longer worry...

-got to my backup and restore fine... Also having access to shell via adb in recovery is nice.

-for you if you consider CWM you might also consider the zsla2 HK firmware see development section eazy rom

-had no problem to flash it with CWM... read the development thread

Again not sure why yours got bricked while not rooted etc... If you cant wait for a replacement and possibly don't mind loose warranty then I would use CWM and have fun... But if your tablet is faulty hardware... Then you might get again the problem?

BTW I originally used mobile Odin to FLASH CWM but flashing it via PC should be fine as it was for me

In any case good luck what ever way you go.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffruff:
did you solve your continous reboot via drainage of the battery?

i got my boot loop now. it just reboot out of a sudden and never comes back. i did a flash back to my stock firmware via odin but it just stuck at the samsung screen. I did a vol-up + power but it just says updating then reboot itself back to the logo screen and stuck. tried flashing a couple firmware but still stuck...

godamnit .. how to hard reset this thing via desktop odin?:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broken_symlink:
yeah, the boot loop went away by letting the battery drain, but just to be safe, i reflashed it. everything has been working great since then. no problems at all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruffruff:
i couldnt wait for the tab to drain itself to death so i brought it down to the nearest Samsung service centre and after 30 mins, its back alive ...

I wish we have full-wipe firmware so that we don't have to let the device fully drained to recover ...

anyway - rooting and flashing cwm now. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_rene:
Same problem, but...

I bought the P6800 early this year and met the same problem for 4 times.

able to enter the recovery mode by luck but no luck by 4th time.

I live in Shanghai and bought it as a 'HK' version of GT 7.7.

Now I have flashed the P6800ZSLA2 with Odin, but still it stuck at 'copying common musics' when try to enter the recovery again....

I found some post saying that I need to

1. flash the proper rom with odin

2. drain the battery til the device will not power on by pressing the power button

3. do a full charge which you should see the battery full logo showing up (3-6 hrs?)

4. try power on and mostly it will enter the system again...

I am now gonna drain the battery and see how it goes....

seems quite a lot of people having such problem, is it a hardware/system bug or something?

I'm gonna send a question/ticket to Samsung see how they will react, I think they should retract all these 'bug' devices or release the patch/update ASAP!

:mad:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walirasoli:
I had this problem and solved it in this manner

1-in download mode , flash Pit file with odin , select pit file in pit section only .

2-reboot tab and then go downloading mode again .

3-in download mode flash a official ROM , select file in PDA section only.

4- go to recovery mode and wipe data and factory reset.

5-reboot your tab and now your tab must work correctly.

6-if it has problem yet. flash ROM again and it fix your problem.

Hi, I am sorry I am not here to be of any help though I wish I could...

I have messed with the build.prop of the galaxy tab 7.7 and on reboot I stuck at the white galaxy tab 7.7 screen, do any of you have advise for getting out of this, maybe a build.prop zip for updating in recovery or if I do a flash of a rom from recovery which one will I use as I had HC and then flashed the ICS Official from Samfirmware, and will I need to do a full wipe or factory reset and if so whats the best way please?

Thank you in advance all.

Edit: All sorted, Thank you

Hi Guys

Dropped my phone slightly and the screen went black. I think the display is somehow damaged but all other things seem to work. All keys are working except that i see nothing on the screen. STACKED!

Can anyone tell me how to access the internal stored data? I really need to get some data I stored in it.

Would the warranty cover this problem? I just had this phone for 2 months.

THANKS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Depending on what the USB debugging mode was set to, you might be able to ADB in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Can you connect it to your PC? If it was rooted you can see much of the user areas where your data is stored. Glass breakage is not usually covered by warranty. If you were rooted and have a recent TiBU backup you can copy it from the device and transfer it to the new device. Reading things like FAQs and stickies would have prepared you for this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Abye:
I normally drag down the notification bar and choose the usb connection and then press connect USB. Now, as I am not able to see anything it is impossible to guess these steps. What can I do?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Did you install the USB drivers on the PC beforehand? Unrooted you will be limited as to what data areas can be seen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Abye:
Yes I had previously installed the USB driver.

The thing is that I cannot get connected to the device although all keys work perfectly and unfortunately invisible scree.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
You won't be able to do anything until you can get the PC to recognize the phone. Try installing/reinstalling the USB drivers. Do you have USB Development turned on or off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cwc3:
Warranty will cover this as long as:

1) No huge gashes on phone

2) You tell them you didn't drop it, maybe say it has done this a couple times and now this time it did not come back on.

[HTC Rezound] mpalatsi:
Anyone else having issue finishing nandroid backups in CWM Recovery? Mine has this issue where it just decides to stop at random points and I have to battery pull on it to attempt again.

EDIT: Posted this in the wrong section, lol... My bad! MOD can delete.
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
I'd love to know why this is in accessories.

Anyway, prepare to be flamed. There are some people in the forums that don't take kindly to repeated questions, particularly when said question has already been answered a few times. In the future, you should really try the search function of the forums first.

CWM on the Rezound has an issue that seems to be related to the display of file names on the screen. If you create an empty file named .hidenandroidprogress in the clockworkmod folder on the external sd card, you should be fine. You can do this pretty easily through adb, "adb shell touch /sdcard/ext_sd/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress"
[HTC Rezound] ο χάκερ:
Wrong place haha

But CWM has been having a lot of problems lately I've noticed.

I have that problem a lot (not anymore now that I have Amon Ra)

My suggestion, switch to Amon Ra, or if you can't get the backup working, try making a backup to internal memory, that worked for me.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flim flamin:
I've rooted my Droid X numerous times, but I'm having trouble rooting my Evo 4G. I had it rooted once, then an air-push update did it before I could stop it.

S-OFF

HBOOT- 6.16.1002

Radio 2.15.00.05.02

Android 2.3.3

Baseband 2.15.00.05.02

Software 4.24.651.1

It still has S-Off, but I'm not sure what I can do without risking somewhat permanent damage, seeing as how I don't know much about rooting this particular phone. The one thing that confused me was the Hboot version, I couldn't find a guide or anything for it anywhere.

Anyways, I was wondering how I would go about rooting the phone again, and if possible flashing a rom I found with is basically an enhanced version of the already installed OS.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
Yup your s-off so just flash a custom recovery and then to gain root flash via recovery superuser and superuser binaries. You can find those at androidsu.com in superuser. Make sure you download the one for gingerbread

[Epic 4G General] christophocles:
Heh that's pretty bad.. My only problem has been battery drain while running GPS and Pandora simultaneously in the car. The phone is capable of pulling more than 700mA when you utilize all of the hardware, so there is no way to keep a net positive charge current. Also when the battery gets too hot (above 45°C, I believe), the phone will stop charging to prevent the battery from exploding :eek:

[Epic 4G General] s89281b:
I had the same problem charging in car. if using usb to charge it charges at 300mah but a/c charges at 600mah. so if you are using usb and have an extra cable you can short the green and white wires(going to phone) and this will trick it into thinking its on a/c. have not had any problems since doing this. i can go on a 6 hour drive with gps and music streaming and still arive fully charged.
[Epic 4G General] gastricpenguin:
I would like to see pictures if you have some.
[Epic 4G General] Alias8818:
I've seen this symptom with a bad flash. Something was using a ton of charge. More than my charger could put out. Hence, battery drain when plugged in.
[Epic 4G General] s89281b:
i do not have pictures. i use heat shrink on my wires so i cant take apart to get any but if i can find another cable i will modify it and take some. it is a simple modification. just carefully cut the black casing from around wires(anywhere along cable, remove about 2 inches) without cutting wires inside. you should have 4 wires(black ground, red 5v+, white data -, green data +) cut the white and green wires then splice them together(the ends going to phone) seal it back up and your good to go. this is just simulating plugging into your a/c adapter. all the adapter is doing is converting a/c to 5v d/c and shorting data wires to tell phone its plugged into wall. usb is already running at 5v d/c so you just have to provide your own way of shorting data. you can ohm out your cable if you like to verify. 4 pins on conector 2 center ones are for data. they are open until you plug into a/c adapter at which point you will get short.
[Epic 4G General] Blankrubber:
The cable did the same thing on my girlfriend's phone, too. Phone thinks it's charging, therefor no deep sleep, and it just discharges. It may be the cable/charger combo, thogh, but I KNOW the cable is certainly fault; I tried it with other chargers.
