[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tricipitinus:
did you find any solution to this?

My nexus had the red light of death some time ago and I eventually bought a new battery. but battery time was still horrible with the new original battery - phone lasted only for about 6-7h with full charge with almost no usage.

I now found out that even when I turn the phone off completely the battery looses it's charge after about 8h.

It's definately a hardware problem - does anyone have any idea what part might cause this and if it's possible to fix it?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
Son was playing Words With Friends and this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" GT-P3113 was acting up. Only other recent change was my wife downloaded a Southern Living magazine. The screen went dark blue like it was on but not responsive.

None of the lengthy holding down the Power or Power and Volume Up would ever produce a reboot, only a battery symbol. I did get it into the load an alternate OS screen, but didn't try it.

Took into a Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy and they said it was DEAD. Apologized that this year and a half old unit was done and said that was "probably not what we were expecting as far as lifespan of the unit." Ya think????

Came home, as a complete noob with nothing to lose and downloaded Odin and the files to try and load the recovery. Odin recognized the device and tried to start installing but got to the first step and FAILED. Something about NAND.

So in your opinion is this completely dead or maybe I don't have the right files? If you have current links to the right files please point them out to me. I've spent tons of times find links that are dead.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Does it mean you could reach the download mode? That would mean your Tab is not "dead".... (what kind of guy was that in the service?)

Try to see if you can get into the recovery mode (keep pressed power button & volume up and after Samsung logo appears second time, release the power button and keep the other one still pressed for about 5sec). If you get there, make factory reset and reboot. This will wipe your data....

Or if you can access download mode (power & volume down) turn it on again and download some recent firmware from www.sammobile.com exactly for your Tab model. In such case, reply my post and I will write you how to flash it with Odin.

No logo for reboot, which sammobile files?

Tetakpatak,

Thanks for jumping in!!!

1. That's the thing. We can never get the unit itself to the logo screen using that method, only the battery screen with a little sunshine symbol inside of it and only when the unit is plugged in.

2. I found sammobile before but my search for GT-P3113 produces only Cellular South files. This is a wifi tab only without a carrier. Does that make a difference? Can I use any of the listed files? Should I try each one?

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
No luck with sammobile files yet

tetakpatak, thanks for your help! please see my other reply.

i went ahead and tried one of the sammobile files. guessing as to which one because this is a wifi not cellular tab. when i ran it i got...

>Firmware update start

>SingleDownload

>boot.img

>NAND Write Start!!

>FAIL!

>

>Complete(Write) operation failed.

>All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Does this mean it is completely dead or do I need to keep trying files from sammobile?

Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Hmmm, it isn't definitely dead, of course. That guy in the service was anyway bit dumb IMO.

With JTAG, man of skills can repair any device, no matter how hard bricked.

Actually to get further, it would help to know if you can reach download mode or recovery mode?

Tried two more from sammobile

Tetakpatak,

Tried two more from sammobile and both failed. Once mentioned NAND and the other did not. I see there is a NAND Erase option in Odin. Is that something I should be checking before Starting?

Not sure what else to do.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
Reply

Sure, I can hold Power and Volume Down to get to the screen to load a custom OS.

I'm

1. Opening Odin

2. Loading in the file from sammobile in the AP field

3. Leaving Auto Reboot and F, Reset Time checked.

4. Letting Odin check the validity of the sammobile file

5. Then plugging in the GT-P3113 and hitting Start in Odin

Thanks.

OK, [MENTION=5799483]dailyvideo[/MENTION] don't flash any P3110 build because the bootloaders differ in something!!

I have got meanwhile for you download links of an excellent stock UEUCMK3 firmware for your P3113 click HERE or you can also download it HERE

Now your flashing checklist:

use entirely Odin v1.85 or 3.04

run Odin as administrator

choose any stock firmware for your Tab and download (you probably did already), unzip it and you will get one tar-md5 file

tap in Odin on PDA, choose that extracted single tar.md5 file

run now (not before) your Tab into download mode

connect it with USB cable

Odin must display "Added" in status bar, left on the bottom

Odin must also display ID:COM port numer above it

If both there, click on "START"

Good luck!

Did you need me to reach out to [MENTION=5153662]Android-Andi[/MENTION] or did you post do that automatically?

I saw another post where someone did a partition and then came back and did your procedure and it worked but it wasn't for a GT-P3113. Not sure if that would work. I won't try it unless directed to.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
Will wait

Thanks will wait to hear back from you guys. Really can't tell you how thankful I am.

To the guy's credit at the Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy he couldn't get the OS screen to come up. I have trouble with it too at times unless there is enough of a charge. He said if he could get it to a certain point he could drill in and work with the code and really wanted to. I think because he could get to the OS screen he just assumed it was dead. To his credit too his dad died within 48 hours of our visit to the store.

Looking forward to the wizard advice.

Brother, Try using this .pit file that i am gonno share :

click on PDA in Odin and navigate to .pit file you have downloaded.

Now select the firmware you have downloaded as PDA and make sure only reboot option,,Repartition and reset time are checked.

Try this and give me a feedback soon.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
Clarifying

Lokesh,

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Just to clarify. Are you saying load your .pit file with the PIT button because when I click PDA to try and load that a .pit is not a valid extension.

Also, are you saying to load the .pit with PIT and the .md5 file with PDA ans Start with the Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time Options checked?

Just making sure I have all this right.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
You should choose in Odin just like last time: firmware under PDA. In addition, also choose PIT file under PIT. The PIT file will ensure your system partitions will be set properly.

If this also fails, it is possible that your internal memory is maybe corrupted and nothing can be written on the card.

Your Tab isn't dead, mate. Well, it wasn't also ever alive, it is just a useful device (when works) :)

Of course it can be repaired. On your place, I would send it to the local technical support / service and they will fix it. It probably won't be very expensive. These pieces of hardware are usually quite sturdy, yet- sometimes things like that just happen.....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dailyvideo:
Yea, my local tech repair IS Best Buy's Geek Squad who referred me to the Samsung Desk in their store. And of course that desk told me the unit was dead. They said even if it wasn't dead they would send it to Samsung for service and wouldn't fix it locally. I already had a quote from Samsung that said it would be $50 just to look at it and the repair cost on top of it. In my opinion a $100+ fix isn't worth it.

I've asked around and no one else locally seems to do tablet repair. I'm in a fairly small town not near a major city.

You can download an Odin version ofbthe beautiful PhilZ touch recovery from Android-Andi's recovery thread for the Tab 2. It is not zip, but tar format.

The version must match your Tab model (P3113 uses P3110 recovery)

Then you should flash it with Odin, run it as afministrator, set recovery file under "PDA", and flash it. Then let us know if you can run the tab in recovery mode!

Use any recent PhilZ touch or TWRP recovery for 3110, download the Odin package.

If you make it run, format data partition and make factory reset. This will wipe all settings and your user data, but probably not the storage (photos, music etc will probably remain)
