Hello everyone.

I tried to look for solution before posting here. I currently have a T679 model given to me by a friend. It's stuck on the Samsung logo screen which keeps flashing. I have tried using Odin 4.43 and tried to re-flash it to the stock ROM several times without any luck. I can't get into the recovery mode (power + volume +) only download mode (power button + volume -). it starts Odin just fine but gets stuck after it tries to reboot the phone. the phone turns off and then keeps flashing the battery logo as if it is trying to turn on but does not. I have no idea what to do please help

here is what Odin looks like

[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
I don't see anything wrong with what Odin did. Did you have debugging enabled on the phone? If so, plug up to your pc and get ADB setup. Should be able to force boot into recovery
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
Cant bootup stuck on Samsung logo screen. Odin just times out it never gets access to the phone because it never reboots successfully
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
Hmm, that's weird. You might have hard bricked it. Do you have ADB setup on your PC?
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
Yes I do but its been a while since I used it so I don't remember all the commands for it
[General Questions and Answers] GL-Joe:
Connect ADB and boot by pulling battery

I had a similar problem a while back as I was trying to install a stock rom over a corrupt custom rom. I had a good CWM recovery, but couldn't get into it and I couldn't flash with odin. The fix was to setup ADB on my PC, pull the battery from the Exhibit, connect with USB to PC, then boot into Recovery or Download mode by holding the proper volume key then inserting the battery. Shazzam.. it worked!

Also, if I remember right, on one of those screens you may have to hit the Home or Menu key to continue. I forget where and when, but you can figure that out. Hope that helps.
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
Hookup to the pc, and open up CMD(or terminal whatever you use) boot up the phone until the pc recognizes it. Then on CMD type "adb reboot recovery" without the quotes. Give it a second and the phone should force boot into recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
Ok so I tried adb here is the weird thing my phone is recongnized when i put it in the download mode by the pc but when i type the command adb devices nothing happens and when i type adb shell it gives me the device not found error but when i use odin it finds my device any ideas why it might be doing that?
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
It sounds like adb might not be setup right. If Odin can recognize it then adb should too
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
ok so just to test out the adb i plugged in my working HTC One S with usb debugging enabled and it wsa recognized by the adb. Is it possilbe the reason adb can't recognize the Samsung because it's in the download/odin mode? and since it won't boot up into recovery does it mean that I am out of luck?
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
My Samsung is picked up by adb even in download mode, also try booting to the screen where it freezes and connect to adb from there.
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
ok I will try that however it doesn't freeze it just boots up stays at samsung logo (if not plugged in) for about 3 to 5 seconds and then reboots and then does the same thing all over again. I am also trying to connect it with Kies but so far no luck
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
ok so few hours later still no luck though phone isn't recognized by adb. at this point i have reinstalled android SDK hoping it would make a difference. I installed every single package available on it (that should explain the few hours wait) the phone is just sitting there in download mode. I am baffled. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I know it's me who is doing something wrong I just can't figure out what it is that I am doing wrong. I feel like a bumbling idiot.
[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
Everything you've done so far is right actually. I can't figure out what's wrong.
[General Questions and Answers] willywonka84:
I am going to boot into the linux distro I have is there a wiki or guide for using adb on linux?

Hello i hope you can help me.

Since yesterday i have no connection to my pc to transfer files to my tab 2.

And the accusymbol on the tab 2 has crossed out.

When i will load the tab 2 at the power outlet on the wall the accusymbol has crossed out.

I can only load the tab 2 when i turn off it.

I have this problems since yesterday.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] PanchoPlanet:
Not sure what you mean by accusymbol, but try a reboot.

Its better if you give more info, like root/no root, kies/no kies ,Rom, ics or jellybean, ?

[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
Hello. I have rooted, stock, tab. OTA's would never install right. I tried downgrade to.30 to reroot JB. I tried several times. Didn't work. Then, somehow, I'm stuck on boot screen. I tried the soft brick recovery options, didn't work. I can access stock recovery, but when I rename file and put on SD card, it says file not found. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Most likely you are doing something wrong if the recovery said that no file is found.First make sure your MicroSD is formatted in FAT32 and then check the filename and keep in mind that if you use Windows usually you don't need to use the .zip file extension. Also make sure that you extract the zip from the file you download from Asus site.
[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
did everything again. Reformated SD. Still nothing. Here's what it tells me

Finding update package

E: failed to mount /SD card (no such file or directory)

E: can't mount /sdcard/ASUS_BUNDLE.zip

E: failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)

E: can't mount SD card

Finding update package...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
This is odd, i heard that with the new JB bootloader the fastboot mode can be accessed even with locked bootloader, can you boot in fastboot mode (USB ICON) when pressing Volume Down +Power?
[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
Not on JB. was trying to go back to ICS to root it again. I went from .30 to JB and back down 3 times trying to keep root. Didn't work cause OTA's would never install. Finally left it at ICS .30. Everything was fine for about an hour, then I rebooted. It never came back alive. Spinning circle.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
In this case you can't do anything to restore it if the recovery doesn't work. Try to Wipe Data and then check the recovery again, if still doesn't work ask a RMA ticket from Asus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Just to be clear, what are you renaming your file to? It needs to be renamed to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" and on an SD card formatted to FAT32. Also, if you're working with a .zip you downloaded from ASUS, you need to extract that zip and rename the EXTRACTED zip file and place that one on the SD.

I'd also try a different SD card if that's not doing it for you. "E: failed to mount /SD card (no such file or directory)" already sounds like it's just not liking that particular SD card right now.

You could also try to download JB from ASUS and flash that file instead of ICS. That way, you will have your fastboot option back so that you can send ICS via fastboot, re-root, and upgrade. That's what I did when I was going through this yesterday trying to reroot after I was bricked.

Once you've over come that part, on to the rooting (and keeping root). It wasn't working with the JB from the ASUS site. I was able to flash it, but I kept losing root. I had to use the dlpkgfile method from my OTA to upgrade to JB in order to keep root. If you don't have that file, you can find one somewhere here or I can provide you with mine.

Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
I tried all of those things. I stayed up all night trying everything I could think of. Nothing. I might just have to trip and drop it off a balcony and use best buy replacement warranty. I took it back several days ago cause of glitches. They wouldn't do anything cause they said my warranty covers breakage, not software.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
If you still can get to recovery mode, can you take about all your sd card(s), do a factory reset (data wipe) and see if boot up?
[Asus Transformer TF700] redheadplantguy:
Thanks for those that tried to help, but that tablet overheated and melted down. burned my fingers. best buy exchanged it under factory defect. New one is rooted JB.

this thread can be closed now, thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
That would qualify as a 'terminal failure', indeed. Did you help it a bit? ; )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manikahuja:
I am considering buying the new Samsung MHL Adapter for my Galaxy Nexus i9025. Question is will it work. I understand the the older MHL adapters built for the Nexus and S2 used a 5 pin layout and are not compatible with S3. However is the new adpater for the S3 that uses an 11 pin layout compatible with older phones like the Nexus?

The exact product code I would like to purchase is EPL-3FHUBEG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khrushy:
No it won't. Samsung switched the pin layout on the GS3 so they could force people to buy their own accessories. Gnex uses the standard pins.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mromutt:
i believe the 11 design was so you can use otg and mhl at the same time, unlike the nexus and all other 5 pin phones that use mhl

How do I use another ROM and what would you recommend? I doubt it's a hardware problem and yes, the tablet I have is brand new, it was never used.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I have no idea about your device or compatible ROMs.

I would do 1 more test. Spend some time in another WiFi area, or using another router. If the problems persist, get it replaced. If you try flashing ROMs to fix it, and it doesn't work, you risk being stuck with a defective device due to violating the warranty.

Also, check with others who have the same device if they've had the same problem.

[EVO 4G General] bennettcl:
Is there any way to wake up the HTC Evo 4G using the Nitrous 1.6.3 rom using the volume rocker. I like the theme and layout of the Nitrous Rom, but miss being able to wake the screen with the Volume rocker like I could on my last rom (MikG). I got tired of MikG not letting me send pictures messages, plus it would do random reboots after I performed certain tweaks (like change font). Anyways if anyone knows if the plan to add this ability let me know otherwise I'll try using the Classic Super Magic Rom or Deck's DigitalKarma v7.77.

I'm really liking the Sense 1.0 modified ROMS as they seem lighter and quicker than the ROMS using the newer Senses. The Classic ROM seems like it's a damn good all around ROM, so I may try the DigitalKarma one tomorrow and if I don't like it I'll go with the Classic ROM.

Thanks,

NOTE: WORKS FOR GALAXY ACE S5830i

This is how you do it: Press home key then simultaneously press power and volume up keys. When the Samsung galaxy logo appears, release the power and volume up keys but keep the home key pressed. Safe mode should come on shortly.

Yes... flashing shouldnt touch your media files like photos or music (internal/external sdcard)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electricpete1:
I'm not so sure about that. When you restore, I thought you definitely want to be on the same Kernel as you were on when you created the Nandroid and to be safet it's also good to be on the same Rom as you were when you created the Nandroid backup. Otherwise... bootloop and ugly stuff. At least that's what I get from poking around the Infuse forums (my phone)... mileage may vary with S3.

I'd be interested to hear if others have opinion on this. I stumbled onto this thread while searching about Nandroid procedures.

I accidentally knocked my thunderbolt off the desk while it was charging. I think i broke the micro usb connection inside. It was bent at first, but I eventually got the usb to plug in. Plugging in the usb cable now causes the led to flash and it powers down pretty quickly.

Any way to easily fix this, or do I have to go the insurance route? Anyone had good luck with insurance?
