[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mebobbob:
Hello all,

I've got a Tab 3 7.0 T210R stuck on the Samsung logo with pulsing blue background. I've read through several Samsung boot loop help threads as well as the general Loop noob helper but haven't found a fix yet.

For my stuck T210R, What I've done & can do:

Was rooted with a "patched" stock UK ROM from last March [sorry, don't recall which]

Was running fine until after I tried to install from Play the TWRP Manager, I obviously did something bad! like select wrong device maybe

I can get into Philz, TWRP, & use Odin

I don't have a recovery back up [i really don't care about restoring back to anything - just want it to work, clean slate, ya know]

Tried a couple of latest ROM's through Philz and a stock ROM XAC-T210RUEAMK1-20131122134958.zip though ODIN. They seemed to be successful but I still can't get past Samsung logo

I've tried these ROMS that seem to load but ixna on successful boot afterwards:

ODIN: KIES_HOME_T210RUEAMK1_T210RXACAMK1_1304745_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

Philz: Stock.rooted.deodexed.T210R.zip

Philz: TAB3-T210-HASSAN-ROM-V1.0-kitkat-4.4.2-Aroma-Mods-all Languages.zip

Philz: cm-10.1-20131209(1)-UNOFFICIAL-lt02wifiue.mine.zip

What's killing me is that loading new or stock ROM's SEEM to work - no errors or anything obviously indicative that I'll still be boot looping as soon as I restart. I'm quite desperate and thinking I'm truly bricked.

I haven't yet tried using ADB but if I can use ODIN and TWRP or Philz, will ADB do anything better than what I've already done? I haven't tried anything with the kernel as I can't really understand what to do there. I read and read and read the kernel threads but with my experience its really not as straight forward as rooting or flashing a ROM or software, and I could conceivably screw up worse! I'm mildly experienced at following guides to have rooted and ROM loaded a 1st gen Kindle Fire, Samsung SII skyrocket, S4, Tab 2 7.0, Tab 3 7.0.

No replies or interest? Please help

I'm I in the wrong forum? Did I offend someone? Could really use some input, please.

Any one seen this before? If you've any experience LOSING this battle, please speak up and I'll know to just resign to now owning a pretty white Samsung brick.

Boot to customed recovery under wipe choose format this will zero all partitions then redo
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mebobbob:
thanks!

if i could find the "thanks" button I'd use it.

I'm traveling now but definitely try your solution. By "redo" I presume you mean load a ROM. When I wipe I also presume I'll still have custom recovery? I should still be able to ODIN, too, if needed?

thanks again
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andynroid:
Yes exactly recovery will not go away once you have formatted the partitions you can now flash a new customed ROM or reflash original FW using Odin..Cheers

Hey buddy wanted to know if you ever found a solution for your issue? I am in the same bind you were in. Can you help guide me. I tried installing the same files you did and to no avail. I bought a Tab 3 T210R from eBay that was stuck in boot loop, I am assuming that it isn't rooted as when I would I went into download mode, it said the firmware was official.

Hi.

I have small problem with my MDA(Hermes) and GPS receiver.

Everything works fine until I press Power button on mda to switch it in standby mode, and Power again to switch it ON.

After that I don't receive data from GPS. I have to close COM port and open it again. I tried on all available com ports and virtual com too.

On my previous MDA VARIO (HTC Wizard) I could do this.

I used this to save my gps track. With mda in standby mode battery last much longer.

MDA VARIO II, Windows 5.0, ROM 1.21.118.4, Radio 1.05.02.00

Please, help :)

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBee:
How is everyones speakers holding up? I dont always get a distortion at max volume but there are specific tones where I can hear them. The one specific example I can think of is the default alarm tone (I think its oxygen). Anyone else have a similar experience? Or is the phone supposed to be distortion free for all tones at max volume?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Last-Hylian:
I sometimes get crackling/distortion from the top speaker but I noticed a new issue with mine last night.

I had my handset on silent and pulled down to my quick settings/tiles I switched WiFi on and held the device close to my ear, I could hear a few seconds of a 'buzzing clicking' noise then it stopped, I turned the WiFi off and the same thing again.

It happens on both the top and lower speaker and makes this noise whenever I turn on or off the wiFi or Mobile Data. It also doesn't matter if it's on silent or active notifications.

Is it just the radio being activated/turned off?

Does it happen to anyone else?

l also got my first random shutdown last night too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
The speaker issue is not actually a hardware issue :) It's actually a bug. Some people get panicked and apply for a replacement but there is a high chance to face the same issue on the replaced device too. But on some device it's a hardware issue which can be evident in ANY volume not in the specifically the HIGHEST volume
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBee:
How can distortion be a software issue though?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
The sound issue can easily be a software issue, it does not necessarily have to be distortion coming from the speaker. That word is being thrown around too easily. But the OS could be sending bad code to the speaker, which comes out sounding like distortion. With the vast amount of people claiming to have this, I am more inclined to think it is more of a software bug.

PS - How is this a "mega" thread'? Just because the OP wants it to sound like an 80's hair metal concert title?

Yeah I get a crackle when I go into airplane mode or when I come out of it,apparently its a common issue
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
I found some suspect texts on my BFs samsung gear smartwatch. He claims his coworker had his phone synced to his via bluetooth at one point so whenever he's at work, sometimes the coworkers texts will sync up and appear on his watch. Is this possible? I'm not tech savy so I asked samsung and they said that two phones cant be paired on a gear at the same time, but if one phone is out of range, then another can pair/sync up when its in range. Still confused. Any insight would help.
[Samsung Gear S] sefrcoko:
As far as I know what Samsung said is correct. Two phones can be connected to the same watch but not at the same time.

So, if your boyfriend allowed a co-worker to connect once and never deleted the connection afterwards, then whenever your boyfriend is at work and walks too far away from his phone, he goes out of range and loses connection to his phone. Now, if that same colleague from before is near your boyfriend's watch while it is not connected to anything else, and this colleague's phone has bluetooth turned on, then his phone would reconnect to the watch and your boyfriend could start receiving the colleague's texts on his watch.

So is it possible? Yes, although I'm not sure why he has others connecting to his phone, or why they want him reading their text messages... Either way, maybe someone else here can confirm what I just explained...to be sure that I'm not making a mistake somewhere and misleading you in any way! :)

Edit: OK it seems that the watch resets as soon as you pair it with a new phone. Didn't know that until just now! This means that it doesn't look good for your boyfriend's story...
[Samsung Gear S] dnkeyhnter:
It CAN'T be paired to 2 different phones. The gear will factory reset
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
Thank you so much for replying. He claims the coworker connected to share data/files? Is that even possible? Seems very strange to me. Also, does it sync recent texts or just real time texts as they come in when it reconnects via blue tooth? Meaning existing texts would load or just new ones after its connected. TIA
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
How about synced via blue tooth? Samsung claims it can.
[Samsung Gear S] dnkeyhnter:
It can only be connected via bluetooth to one phone.

The phone it syncs to has to have gear manager installed. If it syncs to another phone it will factory reset the gear s.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

I sent you an inbox message so you don't have to talk about your personal business in a forum
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
Thanks. Samsung claimed it can go between one phone and another "seamlessly" if one phone is out of range? They didnt mention the factory reset but if thats the case, its anything but seamless.
[Samsung Gear S] gidi:
It is true that when you attempt to connect another phone to your stock unrooted Gear S it asks to factory reset, therefore what your BF is suggesting is not true.

Samsung CC has told me many inaccurate things in the past.

My advise, if you are suspect of youtr BF that is, is to never bring anything up about your suspicions. Let him continue his life normally. There is no way he can cheat on you for an extended amount of time without you finding out.

However, if you talk to him about your suspicions, he may becaome extra - super - paranoid careful and that will complicate things further.
[Samsung Gear S] kieso:
Dump him and I'll swing over to pick you up :) just kidding, hope things work out for the best.
[Samsung Gear S] schettj:
This isn't a technology question... it's a relationship question. Welcome to Car Talk :)

So... my general advise to anyone who suspects their non-married partner of cheating is - move on. Drop off the Key, Lee. Either you're right, and he/she is cheatng, or you're wrong, and you have trust issues in this relationship. Either way, why waste your time if you're not committed. Just move on.

If you're married, or in a long term relationship, seek counseling as a couple.

The technology red-herring answer - he's lying to you about the text messages. Why you were checking his watch for text messages I leave as an exercise for the reader.
[Samsung Gear S] duongdn:
Same thing was happening to me. GF was upset from some texts that showed up on my watch. We figured it out, that when my watch went into Gear only mode, which it would once I was out of range of my phone, I would get these texts from whomever had the phone number that AT&T issued me on the watch. So maybe that is happening?
[Samsung Gear S] sefrcoko:
Yes that happens to me too, but in this case the boyfriend said he paired it with colleagues to share files, etc.

As a general note to everyone, lets try to stick with providing the OP with technical clarity here, not relationship advice. We all want to help, but we're more likely to give her great technical info than we are to give her great relationship info. With technical help she can make up her own mind accordingly :)
[Samsung Gear S] Stoodo:
The boyfriend could have let his friend pair with it and is getting crap texts on the watch's internal number.

Who is to say the boyfriend is technically savy enough to know for sure versus pointing out the only out of the ordinary usage he had.
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
Thanks. So what's your technical advice?

not sure what you mean by this. Can you clarify pls?
[Samsung Gear S] alanshortt:
i think that means

1 it is possible to get wayward texts and calls due to telcos recycling numbers

2 the bf may have indeed have done the pairing he said he did with his friends phone

3 yes the Gear S would have reset when bf re-paired with his own phone

4 but in fact the dubious texts might be due to fact 1 and un-tech bf was confused about the coincidence

is it technically possible to ring the number and see who answers?
[Samsung Gear S] kia101:
The consensus I got from difft places was it could technically happen, but it's highly highly unlikely given reset issue.

He's a cheat. He doesn't deserve my energy or anyone else's on here.

I really appreciate everyone's help and input.

You guys are great :good:

[Samsung Gear S] kia101:

[Samsung Gear S] TechnRom:
I was getting texts from number assigned to device that were annoying at the very least so tmobile switched number but even after multiple factory resets the old number would not leave the gear info tab and I was getting texts from old gear number and new gear number and my note 4 which was paired. Tech support reset Sim multiple times and I eventually put in my extra Sim and activated it and it went back to normal, so if you ever switch gear numbers I would recommend a new Sim as well, it was my weird experience I had

I'm an impatient idiot. Lol I accidentally flashed the wrong kernal through Odin and now the phone won't boot. Phone is an international model bought in Hong Kong. I flashed this one which is a kernal for NE2 (Old Rom Kernel for G900F ONLY, use F6 KERNEL FOR G900FD):

So now the phone won't boot but I can get into Download and Recovery mode. Can someone please tell me how to install/flash the correct kernal. Do I need to flash the stock software or can I install a custom ROM which will also include the correct kernal. Please help! Any links to the correct download would be great!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerosys:
Hi, as stated, I need a bit of help understanding what's involved when Knox is tripped after rooting. I want to root my Note 4 (Verizon) but all the methods I've found will trip Knox. From what I understand after Knox has been tripped, Samsung will know you rooted and there for will void the warranty. Well that's easy to understand, but what about insurance I have with Verizon? Let's say I drop my phone and break the screen while it's rooted (meaning Knox has been tripped) and I take it to Verizon and pay the $100 or so deductible to fix/replace my phone. Will they also look at Knox and potentially say "No, Knox was tripped." I just want to better understand the situation I would be in when/if I trip Knox because I'm a huge phone person and not having my device rooted is killing me. I feel like there is half of a phone I'm not using. Thanks in advance guys!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manbat:
==========

Most important question. ..Do you have a VZW Developers Edition that you bought straight from Samsung? They only have a 30day warranty. Tripping KNOX is really not that important to DE owners. Asurion insurance will not replace a DE with a DE if claimed for damage. If you bought the phone from Verizon or any other retailer...you have a "Retail" device ....currently no root for Retail Devices..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerosys:
I have retail. And I've seen root methods for select retail including Verizon, Sprint and T-mobile. Must not work anymore or something. And I just want to make sure if Knox is tripped my insurance with Asurion is still okay.

Retail has no root for vzw and att cf auto don't work either only DE
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manbat:
Never has been root for retail VZW Note 4......only for DE. No root makes it really hard to trip KNOX... No unlocked bootloader means no custom recovery. so no flashing to trip KNOX. Flashing a custom recovery (on unlockable phones) always trios KNOX now. Sprint and T-mobile have unlockabke bootloaders....ATT and Verizon are locked.

If your connected to WiFi network try disconnecting from it. Also make sure you forget the network settings as well. Do not want to reconnect to WiFi while attempting to screen mirror. See if screen mirroring works that way?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bubba Fett:
I connect my note 4 to my samsung tv pretty easily, but they are both samsung so that might make a difference. However when I connect my phone to my WD live box, I fequently get the same thing you do. If I reset the box I can get it to work for awhile but then the errors cone back. It seems like it should work easily. I'm still working out the bugs but will report back if I fix it. For future reference, if you root your note, it seems that the stock kerenel is best for mirroring. Custom kernels may need some items added to the build. Prop to get it to work properly.

Edit: you motivated to find a solution! For my device, and I havent tested yet, but a suggestion was made that both devices be on wifi. My WD is hard wired. Is your sony? That could make a difference.

Thanks for the suggestions but so far nothing works. The Note 4 attempts to connect but always fails. It's surprising how easily the S4 connects yet the Note 4 can't. I wonder what Samsung did in the newer version that would cause the error.
