restore power on a bricked galaxy 3 10.1 tab

greetings - - -

the firmware ideas are all great; however my 1st question is HOW DO I RESTORE POWER TO A COMPLETELY DEAD TABLET? - - there is no charging working; Ive done all the "button tricks" - - - Ive got a galaxy tab 3 that no matter what I do will not boot - - - -used all different chargers; laptop and wall; not even a beep - - - or is it a mute point and I have to return to point of sales or service center (I am willing to try anything before the last step, as I am currently in a active war zone and I will be a while before I am able to get back to where I purchased the item . . . thanks for your attention.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] samsong313:
have you tried completely draining the battery by taping the power button on, then after a day or two trying to charge it, many people seem to have your problem, So its worth a shot. I was reading about it when i was desperately trying to figure out how to restore my tablet.

Let me know i you have questions
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] N00BY0815:
Did you already try another cable and wall charger adapter? Also make sure it delivers enough current. I e.g. had an iphone wall charge adapter which refused to work with my tab 3 7". I dont know why... The other one however worked fine ;)

upon unrooting my tablet upon boot up im getting sound but no logos...

Fixed used kies emergency recovery
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Will_Xda:
Horrifically Noobish Question, but will doing as instructed In OP get me back Warranty (like on HTC You can Lock bootloader after unlocking and it's more or less warranty friendly again) or is it permanently Voided when rooted ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Yeah this will get your warranty back
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Make sure you get the new firmware

Here is the link to the new firmware that will fix the screen flicker problems

MK1 Firmware
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
OP updated
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] fabi280:
I've sent mine in. I tried to charge it for more than 24h with the original charger of the tab and another 24h with the original charger of my nexus 4. Didn't help. It was rooted and had ketuts kernel on it.

I'm really happy that rooting doesn't completely void my warranty as I live in Germany :D

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] rolandsonic:
question

dose the mk1 your talking about fix the screen flicker and keep it rooted or is it going to un root it (i heavent been able to try it yet my tablets is not with me)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
it removes root. you can easily install TWRP recovery and then flash supersu to get root again without having the flicker

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] trouinky:
Didn't know where else to post this, but here goes.

We went away for vacation and I left my Tab3 7" wifi in a drawer and now it won't wake up or give me any indication that it's charging. Is there some special combination of buttons I can press or something? I have it on the charger that can with the device and I've tried several different usb cables.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Yep leave it on the charger and every 30 minutes try to turn it on. It should turn on after a while hold power button
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] trouinky:
Been on the charger several days now, no wakee wakee. Ugh!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
is it a wall charger? try a different charger and plug it in and unplug it a couple times or maybe its just dead
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] trouinky:
Holy carp I did something different, put it on a trickle charger (0.5 A) and over night it was up and fully charged. Woot!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Awesome glad it boots again
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] tharmor:
Did you get this sorted ? I am facing the same issue !
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
that mode is fine to flash the firmware in with the Odin program or download kies software
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] tharmor:
Just install via odin...ignore the screen...its in recovery..... Once u click start in odin it will strt installation ..

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] SR_REllU:
Hello!

I just registered to this forum because of this thread. First of all, I would like to say that I'm not a native speaker, but I'm trying my best!

Anyways, I'm a mobile game developer, and I bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" (SM-T110) so that I could be able to test my games on some Android device. Everything worked fine, until one day the program I use to make games said that I actually had to have atleast android 4.3 in order to be able to test the games. So since I have bought this only for testing, I haven't installed kies, nor I have any backups on for this device.

I followed some guide to install the 4.4 kitkat on the device, and everything wen't just great, until odin decided to crash while installing the new firmware. So my problem here is this:

(the link didn't work because I'm new x)

(dunno if that works, so I'm just having this screen that says "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again)

Well, I then tried to install the 4.4 android again thru Odin, but now it just fails (doesn't crash, fails) in the same spot as it crashed before. I then tried to download the original 4.2.2 version of android, and install that, but the result was the same. The install fails in the same spot.

I tried the recovery mode thru kies as well, but since I don't have anything to recover, it won't work. Also, I can't enter to download mode etc. The only thing I can do is to turn the tablet off and on. Charging work's fine too.

So, is there something that could fix this problem?

Thank you for your time!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Mgspeed73:
Many Thanks

Thank you for this information now i fixed my Tab 3 SM-T210R... I experienced after rooting my tab its flickering and its annoying me... Sorry for my english:D Thank BROTHER :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] GorJessSpazzer:
I have a silly question if im on t210 when i flash this my firmware will change? So if i still have my warranty i will lost it or there's another firmware for the t210?

Edit: I found my own firmware and follow your guide, it works perfect
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
UPDATED links in thread to the latest KITKAT Firmware
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Antagonist42:
How did you hook it up to a trickle charger?

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
that is just a charger that has a lower amp rating on the power brick that plugs into the wall
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Antagonist42:
Interesting....I have a Power Block recharge pack (USB battery top up) plugged it in and get a flashing recharge light, not a solid lit light, it flashes at about 3/4 of a second, my guess would be if it's doing that the the USB charger side is Kaput, had the same thing with a Philips shaver (sounds daft but electronically it's the same thing), I'm also getting nothing when plugging it into laptop USB, no 'somethings connected' Bing...my guess is it's died but I'll try the trickle charging first.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Antagonist42:
Dead duck, nothings changed :( ah well thanks for info anyway ;)

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C

Worked Great...... Odin right to KitKat

Can you confirm that this method removes previously installed CWM from my tablet?

If not, can you tell me how can I remove CWM?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Yes it will remove CWM completely
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ShellieW:
Ok, I tried all of the above and nothing helps. I can't seem to find the firmware for the U.S. for this tablet. I tried restoring it and it still flashes. this is my first attempt at root, and i've been at it for the better part of the day (on and off), and now I want to throw the thing across the room! LOL I believe i'm still rooted, and my screen is flickering worse than ever. Can anyone help walk me through this again?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
the reason the screen is flickering is that the root method you use is a old bad method. to fix this you need to restore the firmware with odin like it is outlined in this thread. I would also recommend using the newest Kitkat firmware which is linked in the first post. then you need to find the TWRP recovery made by gr8nole and flash that in odin then flash supersu.zip from twrp recovery then you will have root and everything. you can acomplish all this in about 30 minutes if you have the files and everything in front of you and know what you are doing.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ShellieW:
Do I install the drivers directly to the tablet?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
drivers are installed to the computer then you connect the tablet and they will install
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ShellieW:
Thank you for attempting to help me. I tried what you said, downloaded to the computer and then connected the tablet, and nothing happened. is there something I have to do to get it to transfer over? I am now realizing I should have left well enough alone and not tried to root the device in the first place! I'm so lost. I figured you never learn if you don't try, but I think I'll never understand enough about this stuff to do it correctly.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Andromeda 90:
kies download and install it from your computer, then connect your device to download the kies drivers, as they have installed the drivers, download the firmware you want and you may flash by odin, you can also see if an update from kies :good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ShellieW:
Keis no longer recognizes my device :( It says, "The connected device is not supported by Keis"
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Andromeda 90:
okay, I will try to help you, download the file I posted here, and install it on your computer, the program will install the drivers for your device, as there installed, put your tablet in download mode by pressing the home button and vol - at the same time, when the warning message precione vol + button to appear, and now as you installed the driver, download odin 3.09 and now if the firmware flashing.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ShellieW:
It's the "program will install the drivers for your device" part that I can't get past. How? Thank you for attempting to help me!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Andromeda 90:
It's okay. files that will leave here, is all I can give you, download the executable file and install it on your computer, "NOTE" is not necessary to connect the device to your computer, the program will install the drivers for the device, after finish installing drivers, download and run odin, now put your tablet into download mode then press the start button, vol -, and power, when the warning message appears, press vol +, now connect the device to your computer, odin should detect your device, the rest I guess you already know to do, right ?.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] BeciMester:
Scrap that, I was able to get it into download mode! What threw me off was there are no pictures! From powered off state I press and hold Home+VolDown+Power, and if I watch really closely the backlight comes on but the screen is empty and black. If I press Vol Up from there I get the download mode with the white text at the top left corner saying "ODIN MODE" etc., but still no picture. Strange!

Anyway next issue: I connect it to Odin 3.09, COM port connects fine, I pick my firmware file linked in the first post, Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time ticked, Re-Partition NOT ticked -- and I get this:

Does it mean the NAND is broken? Will I have to throw it away? :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Plug in the USB cable to a different port and try again
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] BeciMester:
Thanks for the advice Tomsgt, I did that, and also realised I'm an idiot. :silly: I've downloaded the firmware you posted which is not for my model. After grabbing the right firmware it installed first time without issues. So problem solved, tablet is back to life! Sorry for the noobery. :o
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
glad you got it working
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ysugar1:
My tablet is stuck on a screen that says "forced upload by key pressing" and i can't get it to turn off to go into download mode, please help!

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ThePhoneGeek:
Ok forget the dump questions but I don't spend much time or energy on the Samsung devices as I am usually in the middle of HTC devices and such.

So I went to SamMobile and not sure I am getting the correct firmware for my tablet which is SM-T210R in the US WiFi only. I don't see a firmware specifically noted for the US, I downloaded the cell south one but I am not convinced that it is the correct one.

I loaded it but all I got after load and google app optimization was a white screen. I am trying again this time I removed the microSD and trying but thought I'd ask while I was waiting.

Edit: Ok so it seems to be FC'ng on settings, the setup wizard, then boot loops... Ugh!!!

Unable to get into download mode

When I try and get into download mode it just comes up with:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SM-T210

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

HW REV: 0x5

Firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.

I tried using Kies but it wont detect the tablet.

I have tried using the button combinations:

For download mode:

Power + volume down + home key until it vibrates

All that does it boot back into the Firmware problem over and over as long as I'm holding down the appropriate buttons.

As I can't get into download mode I cant use Odin to install the firmware to fix the issue.

PLEASE HELP :)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
The screen with the error message is the same as download mode. Just connect to Odin and flash the firmware again.

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] jonstowe78:
Download Mode NOT an Option! Please Advise! SM-T210R

Hey guys - So, I'm bricked at the "Firmware encountered an issue" screen. Yes, I am quite aware of how to fix it, I've done this before, more times than I care to say. However, this time, for whatever reason (and I think my Volume Down button might be going bad or something) I can NOT get into download via the 3-button method. I tried using the ADB-Assistant by Gr8nole, but of course, with it being on that screen I assume, it's not detecting any devices so I am unable to go into download mode that way either. Does anyone have any other suggestions? All are welcome and greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gr8nole:
That error screen is the same as download mode. Are you sure Odin can't detect it when that error screen is up?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] jonstowe78:
OMG! I feel like such an idiot! I guess I was just assuming Odin couldn't detect it, since I had run List Devices with your ADB ASSISTANT and none were found.

BTW - Thank you soooo much for the ADB_Assis. tool. Its freakin AWESOME ... and thank you so much for responding and setting me str8 here. Have a good day bro!

Downgrade to 4.1.2

Hi

I would like to go back to 4.1.2 JB, but I can't find a firmware that works; I tried all three available on the rootjunkysdl site, one gives me sound with a blank screen, the other leaves me stuck on the boot logo, and the latest one is the only one that works for me. What can I do about downgrading back to 4.1.2? Is it possible for me to install an older rom on the latest firmware?

Thanks for any ones help and suggestions!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
i dont think you can downgrade once you updated it will always fail
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] traed:
Thank you! I no longer need to downgrade, I'm able to install older ROMS over the newer firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] grrynn:
Hi ... my samsung tab 3 7" was upgraded to kitkat 4.4.2 and some of the apps that I had (and need) no longer work. So, I followed your instructions, and video in the OP and tried to downgrade my sm-t210r back to stock. Everything went was going good, until after Odin was complete and my device rebooted. It has been stuck on the samsung splash screen (with the word samsung pulsating animation). It will not boot to the lockscreen as your tablet did in the video.

After waiting a few hours, I attempted to redo the steps in the video ... but I have gotten the same results. Still stuck at the samsung splash screen.

Please help!!

-------------------

nevermind ... got it back to KitKat as both the MG4 and MK1 did not work ... just got stuck at samsung pulsating logo screen. I guess there's no way to get it back down to 4.1.2 from 4.4.2 ... uggh ...

Thanks for the informative step by step video though!!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
yeah you got it samsung has blocked downgrading the device
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ckvisme:
Lol, I used your YouTube video to root this tab... Didn't even see this thread till today..

Anyway, I've got it On tranchidakat.. Prob miss spelled that sorry.. Already at 4.4.2.

What rom if any are you using for this now? Looks like there MIGHT be cm11 someday but not seeing much for the t210r... Any recommendations? Thx in advance and for all of your vids ?

Sent from my 1080x1920 Android addiction ?

Thank you XDA Devs' and Contributors for hard work and education you share!
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Tomsgt:
Well sad thing to say here but I just sold me Tab 3 a couple days ago to a buddy. I haven't used it in months since I have newer devices like the nexus 9. But yes that rom is a good one and still being developed last I saw. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] ckvisme:
Thx for the reply ...and yes john just updated a few days ago...

Just fyi before rooting this i rooted my m8 ...with your help in part...running multirom, s-off and all kinds of fun .

Heck i even watch your vids on devices i dont have, especially when you are showcasing cool new mods/hacks ...

just watched the new s6 vids....although im getting bored with them (s6 vids) since i dont have one, and holy crap EVERYONE is doing them...but i did like the multi system mod ..kinda like multirom, sort of...

Anyway thx, and i will see you in the next vid...

ckvisme.. OUT! ?
