[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbysowner:
hi all any help would be much appreciated.

ok got a tab2 p5110 last year for my mother-in-law, she`s technophobic but was getting along with android ok.

when about 2 months ago she told me it would no longer work, when i got to have a look at it it seems to be in some sort of loop, the

"Samsung galaxy tab2" logo appears then disappears for a few seconds then re-appears until the battery runs out.

i googled boot loop galaxy tab2 and found this: youtube.com/watch?v=lflnn850jRw[/url]

everything seamed to work, even showing on the odin screen that a custom rom had been flashed, except of coarse that it was still in the boot loop!!!

very annoying, please can anyone help?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Start tab into recovery, power and volume up, navigate to wipe cashe, wipe dalvik cashe, that should get running again.

i can get into odin, but there is no recovery as this is stock,

i`ve tried flashing recovery, says it`s flashed but still in boot loop and no way to get into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
The tab may have lost "root" thats probably why, can't remember if stock recovery can wipe. ?

Try force off, then on into recovery.

I would not mess with pit files unless you flash a wrong rom , but that not being the case try a factory reset by starting tab in stock recovery and selecting "factory reset".

hi looked at link i guess this is my problem:

"Bootloop trouble because recovery

Galaxy tab will booting but stuck at Samsung logo, then the screen goes black and you can see that backlight. Next the screen will completely turn off and galaxy tab start to boot again.

The trouble came from incompatibles recovery or corrupted recovery file."

and this is solution:

"Fix Bootloop trouble because recovery

1. Go to download menu.

2. Using ODIN install stock recovery to Galaxy Tab"

but where do i find stock recovery?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
Go to samsung website, look for support, downloads. Look up your model and download firmware. That will include stock recovery.

and down loading this:

Odin3-v1.85_3.zip

there is a pit file in the zip, but it does not mention it the guide,

do yo know what this file is for?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PanchoPlanet:
The PIT file is the partition information table. It tells your phone where different packages go on the phone or tablet, as well as how big partitions are on the phone or tablet.

Using a different version of odin may help also, double check the files you download as to the model.

Copy links to clipboard so they display properly and others can check your información.

Not sure if this is the site you used but check it out.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...tXoHOL6fm1pIfIZQg&sig2=1gNMZ287fIyE76XjKI12GA

Navigate to your model number and download.

If you have corrupt partitions its probably causing the boot loop.

Not sure if you can just get a pit file from sammoble, it's usually a complete firmware, but that will have the correct pit file to fix your problem.

battery

i was just wondering is it the battery?

if i unplug it from the charger it will carry on in the boot loop for around half an hour, before it is out of charge.

when i plug it back in to the charger it will show the an empty battery icon then boot into the loop.

when i press the power button and vol/up button to get it into odin it shows the empty battery icon again before going into odin.

could it be that the battery has failed?

and does anyone know if the tablet is supposed to charge in odin?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Ok, so I have done something incredibly stupid. I had been using Paranoid Android on my Galaxy S2 with no issues, then we got new phones in work so I moved to a company phone, Galaxy S4 and ported over my old number. I also used the external SD card I had bought for the S2 with the S4 (not planning to use the S2 again). When I was tidying up the SD card I noticed the zip files for paranoid android so deleted it without thinking.

Now, however, I want to give the old phone to my sister, but it wont turn on at all. I know the battery is fully charged, I have tried holding down vol+power+home etc. and nothing. Have I completely bricked it? Is there anything I can do? :(

I should add that I can access another unrooted Galaxy S2, is that any use? Could I flash a recovery to the external SD on that and then swap the card to the bricked phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
So no download mode.Did you tried vol up+ho

me+power to access the recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Your options are:-

1) A jig.

2) Possible JTAG; this is the cheapest/most stress-free option after #1 (which will cost a few bucks on little e big B), but....Don't get your hopes up it will work, many phones in this situation are not JTAG'able. If you can find someone who will attempt a JTAG for you & you only pay if it's successful, knock yourself out. I wouldn't be paying on the basis of it costing me money upfront whether it works or not though given the next (and overwhelmingly most likely option).

3) Motherboard replacement - irrespective of warranty status, a Samsung service centre should replace the board for you with a new one. This will be somewhat expensive. How expensive will normally be dependent on what phone techs charge for labour in your country.

You also have the option of sourcing a 2nd hand board (cheaper) online; I believe KeithRoss39's 'Replace USB board thread' in General has a list of online S2 parts suppliers to get you started, a Google search will yield others, and then taking the phone & board you've sourced to a local mobile repair shop (non-Samsung service centre) & paying them to swap the boards for you (assuming you don't have the necessary skills to do this yourself). This will be significantly cheaper than the new board option in most cases.

So, in summary, the enormously more likely fix (that will actually work) is #3, with #'s1 & #2 a lot less likely to succeed, though definitely still try #1 unless you're not fussed about spending the money to do #3 right away, and possibly try #2 with the caveat I mentioned.

Edit - Also/before you ask 'what happened/why did it crap itself', nobody here can give you any indication of that. There's obviously something major hardware-wise going on, and without the phone open in front of us, it's impossible to give you a meaningful answer to that question. And though it's a natural question to ask in this circumstance, it's kinda irrelevant - the phone has a hardware fault of some kind, it needs to be diagnosed by someone qualified & fixed. That's the best we can give you.

Extra edit - Actually, as well as trying to get into both 'modes' over and over and over as TheImpossibleEnemy excellently suggested, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, and try the 'jump start' method where you try to boot the phone with just the charger/minus the battery detailed in his thread. Like #1 & #2, very unlikely to work, but given the alternative/money involved with that, you absolutely try it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Thanks guys. Yes I ried vol up+home+power to access the recovery, no luck, no response from the phone. I won't be able to get resistors till after the weekend but I'll make a jig then and try that. As regards Options 2&3, the phone is very old now and I have a brand new one so I'm not willing to pay anything significant to get it sorted. I'm only bothered because a) my sisters phone broke so I was going to give her this for the time being and b) I'm worried I might have old photos on the phone I didn't backup
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Unfortunately, unless you are able to get the phone to boot, you won't be recovering anything from it. Motherboard replacement means you get a new EMMC, and the only (very) remote possibility of extracting data from that without having the phone work somewhat normally, is a data recovery company which specialises in pulling data from dead HDD's. Fairly unlikely this is possible though (I've never seen anyone post they've been able to get this done in the 2.5 yrs I've been here), and if it is possible, expect it to be very expensive relative to the other fixes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Crap, that's what I assumed. Thanks anyway. I'll try the jig after the weekend and post back here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There's a thread in General which has people offering to share their jigs, take a look - there might be someone near you with one, which will might save you at least a couple days/a week/whatever waiting for a little e big B delivery.

Good luck.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Nobody near me unfortunately, but thanks. I wonder how difficult it would be to construct a working S2 from the two I have, one being bricked, and the other working but with a cracked screen. Might be an idea :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
switch the screens and that's it!:good::D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The only problem with that one is it's most likely something on the MB has crapped itself; given the size of the components concerned, no tech worth their salt would attempt a fiddly replacement of individual components on the board given most electronics is 'modular' (everything is made up of 'boards') these days, and it takes no time/no stress for someone who knows what they're doing to simply swap a board.

Having said that, over the last 6-12 mths, we've seen threads/posts by people claiming they've been offered a fix where just the 'power IC' is replaced on the board. I've not seen a single person post & say they've had that repair done successfully in that time though, and you can easily end up with the situation where it's something else on the board that's buggered/as well, so you end up needing the board replaced anyway, or someone attempting the repair stuffs the board up because their soldering skills aren't up to scratch.

If the easy stuff you can try yourself doesn't work & you definitely want to keep the phone, replacing the board in the first instance is the (almost; assuming nothing else is wrong) guaranteed fix.

Edit - But yeah, you can definitely have a stab at trying the good screen on the dead phone on the good phone with the dead screen as per TheImpossibleEnemy's great suggestion. Doesn't get you your data, but it might just get you a working phone for pretty much nothing. Search for the service manuals on here (they've been posted from time to time here) or Google; these have full parts lists & diagrams/pics with run-throughs of the most common repairs (replacing screen is one of those from memory).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Great, thanks guys. I'm an electronic engineer so I'd be pretty handy at this stuff. Just wondering what the easier swap would be, moving mb from one phone to another, or screen from one to another.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Replacing the screen would be easier.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
Really? I had a look over a guide for replacing the screen, and one for replacing motherboard. The motherboard replacement actually looked easier to me. Have you experience with doing this yourself?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Never had to:D

Just my opinion,because to access the mobo one would have to remove the screen first.

The choice is yours of course,as you are some kind of engineer,it should be easy for you to do it in both ways.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocode:
I'll take it apart later and see what looks easiest. Will update here
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
I have some experience with taking the S2 apart.

The way to take apart the phone is to take the back off of it......

This will reveal the circuitry on top of the screen and the circuitry fitted to the rear housing. You will be able to access the motherboard before you access the screen. Adding the *good* motherboard to the *good* screen will be the easiest option for you......

Hello!

I'm giving up with the problem and asking You for help. I bought my device in Korea. I live in Poland and since I landed with new mobile in PL I cannot send MMS by stock app:/ My carrier is T-Mobile. I've already checked and set APN settings (for milion times!!) for Internet and MMS. I can receive MMS but cannot send :( I've installed GO SMS Pro and I was able to send MMS but after update I cannot send it anymore :/ I started to googling, reading, checking etc. I found featureset.xml in system/etc and also found some DB according to MMS and APNs in /data/data/com.android.providerstelephony (I don't remember exacly the path): mms.db , hiddenmms.db and telephony.db . In the databases I found some data according to APNs. Also I found some APNs info in etc dir in some xml files.

I will be very grateful for help in my issue.

What should I do now? How do You think? What should be next step?
[LG Optimus G Pro] TheMighyLoki:
Doing a factory reset, from the phone, sometime dose not fix it after root. I have learned this from pasted F'ups of my own doing. You may have to manually reinstall the stock rom from the computer. If any one else has a suggestions please chime in.

- Hook it in to the PC and then spam the "adb reboot recovery" command until you get it to go to the recovery.

- If you're trying to get into one of the modes, it's a little finicky. You want to make sure it's turned off completely first, and then try to do one of the power+volume combos.

- Once you get it in download mode, follow the thread that talks about the factory reset with the LG tools. PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS! They're important.

- If you were in the San Antonio TX area, I'd show you what to do. Maybe someone nearby can help. It might take a few tries, but it's not that hard to recover from. At least you -have- a bootloop. I'm stuck with nothing.
