Some helpful Info

Maybe you should have said yes? because after all you can't be too carefull , maybe there was something wrong with the rom. If the system asks you if you want to fix ALWAYS say YES. You should have said yes. Why did you say no ?! all right now to the fixing part. PLEASE NOTE I'M NOT AN EXPERT IN ROOTING BUT I'LL GIVE IT A GO. I think that if you can, then power it up and press the VOLUME UP key while holding the power button. From the menu choose recovery and factory reset your device. If it's possible reset rom to default. It should work if not then Post a reply saying not and I'll see what else can be found. Hold on tight for now!There is a Optional thing you can do if the above doesn't work: that is, if possible, you can un-root your tablet with an app from the market. If all of the above is impossible to do, and you cant even power your tab on, it's as useful as a brick, a black screen. Then I'm afraid it's a hard brick fopr you, boyo.

Sorry for my previous post, didn't read the whole forum! Stupid me! ok now there are only two types of brick. Soft brick and hard brick. Soft brick can be fixed, Hard brick - Not quite. And as you said, you flashed a rom for a different tab, maybe thats a compatibility issue. If you want a new os, honeycomb to be exact. You can always upgrade, just search 'honeycomb upgrade'.

brick repair

I read about your problem. Mobiletechvideos does JTAG brick repairs on several devices and it looks most if not all Galaxy Tab devices are supported. Unfortunately I can't yet post links, so you'll have to Google "MobileTechVideos" to find their website. Then on the left side of their webpage you'll see Categories and underneath that, Samsung Tablets. Click Samsung Tablets. If you do for a fact have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, select that tablet from the list under Samsung Tablets (if you have a tab 2 10.1 select that). Then on the next page choose the option that says brick repair. It'll cost $50 for the service. Its better than having an expensive paperweight. Hope you get it working again.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] PanchoPlanet:
Here's a perfect example of "Not reading " and the consequences of it on a poor Tablet.

Don't let this happen to you. Read before you leap. This was a fatal brick, so beware of flashing before reading.

Hopefully some noob will see this post and it will save his or her Tab from becoming a big flat paper wight.

Don't forget to read!!!

The most notorious thing for me is... Why on earth were you trying to downgrade from ICS to an old Honeycomb? I can't imagine. Even more when you have plenty of ROMs to upgrade to 4.1 JB and even 4.2 JB, and probably in 2-3 months you will even have first attempts for 4.3 or 5.0 (whatever will be called).

I can't imagine a single logical reason to do...

Hi,

Got my ZTE V970 from etotalk a couple of weeks ago. I like it very much, but it has 1 big problem: the light sensor. In a medium lighted room it goes on and off like crazy, switching from full brightness to zero back and forwards. I am using the original rom.

Has anyone else with the phone this problem or is mine faulty?
[ZTE Grand X V970] Obmann:
Mine is only a little bit nervous in medium lighted rooms - but itis not that bad. Does't go from shiny to black in my case.

I have Brunos ROM on my V970.

By the way, does anybody know if it is possible to enable haptic feedback for the 4 softbuttons (Menu, Back, Home, Search)?

I have used rom manager in the past just to boot into recovery... I don't know why but for what ever reason, today I decided I was going to update to the latest AOKP, I launched ROM MANAGER to check which version of clockwork I had installed, it said I had the latest so I chose the option to reboot into recovery, phone turned off I thought it was going to reboot into recovery but it never turned back on. I can't get my phone to power on, I also can't get it to go into download mode. No signs of life... Looks like phone shopping time. And I did do some research on this and seems I am not the only person this has ever happened to.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bowenac:
Yea I honestly think developers of new roms should block access to Rom Manager it is obviously buggy and for what ever reason it CAN brick phones just by trying to reboot to recovery... who knows how that is even possible. A reboot should not brick a phone it doesn't make sense to me... so rom manager must be doing something crazy when trying to boot into recovery unless someone knows how I can get my phone to download mode it honestly seems bricked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] headcreepz:
So you were on clockwork recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bowenac:
Yes clockwork mod recovery was installed... I have used it numerous times with this phone to flash roms etc... the problem isn't with clockwork mod, but the app ROM MANAGER that you can use to flash clockwork mod recovery and also use to boot into clockwork mod recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oniddy:
They should stop cwr then because if my phone would at gotten bricked i would at been going ham wordd specially if its a known issue :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Maybe using adb you can delete everything and then Odin back. Just an idea. I've never truly bricked so no real experience except knowing that if you can connect through adb you may have a chance.

Excellent luck to you. This almost qualifies as a development article.

More like a :Notice: of some under development. Good for others to know.. I my self in the past have used the cwm.APK to reboot many of times so maybe its the ROM plus cwm combo that caused this problem. Again, just speculating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I use ROM manager all the time. All I do on it is flash the latest official CWM though. I never download or.flash ROMs off of it. I think that this mishap was specific to your situation. Millions use ROM manager. If the issue was the app itself there would be an uprising at Koushs front door demanding blood lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidEyez:
Reinstall T989 drivers on your PC make sure you do that first then hold down volume up and down while plugging in USB to PC you should be good to Odin from there let me no and good luck!

My PC doesn't recognize it at all nothing... are drivers needed in order to get to download mode? I just installed windows 8 via update and kept all my old settings, before this happened this morning I was able to access my phone and everything like normal in windows 8... just curious if you can get to download mode by hooking it up to a wall charger and the volume buttons... Just to see if the phone will even get to download mode. I have tried volume down, volume up and down, power volume up and down... nothing is working doesn't make any sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bowenac:
T989 comes up as an option to install clockwork mod recovery. Again I have used it for a long time but have never installed a rom through it... just used it to flash clockwork and have booted to recovery a few times. Usually I would boot to recovery the manual way but since I was already in Rom Manager to check clockwork mod version I just tried to reboot into clockwork from there since I was already there.

Are you now questioning TWRP, the preferred recovery of many very experienced members and devs?

Sometimes it's the tool. Many times it's the mechanic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carnage017:
Whenever you are going to make a comment please be sure to be knowledgeable at the subject at hand.

I would encourage you to Google twrp bricked, and see how in the past a twrp build was as buggy as the rom manager mentioned in this post. Thank to the development team they manage to fix it and improve it rapidly....

Hopefully they do same with ROM. MANAGER
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
Sounds like you hard bricked your phone. I had this happen when I was a noobie with rooting and installing things like roms. LOL my first attempt at a rom and it hard bricked it. Thanks for letting us know about Rom Manager. Ignore the guy who keeps bugging you about miscategorizing this but I found it very helpful and may save me later and many other people. If the phone doesnt go into Samsung or anything and just stays dead your phone is facked. If it is under the 1 year warranty you can get a refurbished replacement for 20$ at T-Mobile as long as their is no water damage or physical damage. If its under the 20 day purchase warranty you can get a brand new one for free over-nighted to you (as long as you send the old one back). Good luck

Dang you're sponsored?

As for my experimentation, on a 4.0.4 ROM of my own build and unreleased, with twrp2.2.2 recovery using CWM TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY whoops caps.. Guess what, it worked fine and rebooted me to twrp recovery... You can thank koush and even me lol for this experiment.. case closed it works fine on 4.0.4 roms not sure about aokp or cm9 10 ..

So really you got unlucky or like I said before it may be the combo of ROM and recovery. Now its possible you may have accidentally flashed the wrong CWM to your phone that will brick a tank..

Sorry for your misfortune, Rushing.

I have manually booted into cwm many times with no issues... this app did cause the problem whether you want to believe it or not. I didn't do anything else to the phone, I launched rom manager to check cwm version, then clicked reboot to recovery that's it and it never rebooted. I am not making any of this up, and not sure how it would be possible to flash the wrong cwm when I have used it on this device numerous times. Do some research seems to be fairly common issue. Seems like the phone trys to reboot into something that doesn't exist, no error handling or anything just pooof.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] head33:
He is right its a very known common problem and everyone talking about searching and using the wrong section should of searched before bashing the guy . If you would of looked it up or been reading this stuff all of the time you say you have been here you would know its happend before. Not only booting into recovery but also flashing from rom manager, and simply downloading a rom then manually booting into recovery and flashing has caused bricks. So maybe cut the guy some slack for trying to do us a favor . Its the same as everyone flamming the guy trying to tell people that using wipe scrips is breaking cwm newer builds. That they were intended for a older version of cwm . All he was doing was helping jusy like this guy is . Isnt that what xda is about? So once he posted this it should made you want to search to see if he was right instead you started flaming.

Any ROM usage is at your own risk. If you don't know how to do the stuff manually, or you are going to try a version of windows that is weeks old, you need to read first. I'm am willing to bet you had a low battery and flashed which caused a soft brick. Get yourself a windows 7 computer, a USB cable and so e time to read up on how to fix it. Don't blame ROM manager as it says way back when you rooted that it was AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Now instead of bashing an app that has helped more people in the last 2 years than you will in 4958920483 lifetimes, how bout you help koush find out what happened to cause the issue?

Does the rom change how and where the CWM recovery is... I am still boggled at how the app would or could cause this. I don't see how this could be a rom issue when all that happened was selecting boot to recovery from the app. If I had know this can cause your phone to fry, I would have never used it. It seems to be more common with samsung phones from my research. So not sure why it is even available for Samsung phones if it is know to cause issues like this. It has to come down to how the app handles the trigger event... obviously the app has no kind of error handling, or this could have been prevented. Maybe check where the CWM is installed where and how it needs to boot to it, if not enough data returned to complete this task then display an error or say it can't complete the task. If it was the rom then block access to the app or those commands.

I didn't download any roms from Rom Manager, again only checked to see what version I had because the ROM I was going to update mentioned check that your on the latest CWM, so I was like ok I will just check Rom Manager since well it shows your current version and latest version, and also gives the user an option to boot to recovery which didn't work to well in this case.

Hi XDA!

Yesterday I flashed my SGS3 international with stable CM 9.1.0 from the official CM site. I'm not disappointed with CM, i find it quite cool. But one of my expectations from CM was USB UMS mode support. But when I connect the phone to PC, swipe down the notifications and click USB connection, I see there is UMS checkbox but it's disabled. Now i use «SGS3 Easy UMS» found somewhere here, but it's a little inconvenient and I'd like to see native UMS support. So, if the checkbox exists - I think CM supports it. What do I need to make UMS work natively?
