Yeah, it seems like it's a hardware issue. Unfortunately without access to RUU mode there is no way to flash a new bootloader.

A jtag service may be able to revive it for a fee. Or return it to HTC if still in warranty

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
Hi Guys,

My 2012 Nexus 10 is showing its age and I am desperate for a new tablet. I waited so long for Galaxy Tab S2, but I am kinda disappointed with its spec. old 5433 SoC and 4:3 screen with downgraded ppi and resolution ! so I am thinking about Galaxy Tab S, what do you think about it after lollipop update ? I heard many users complained about its lags and underpowered SoC, would you recommend it ? also how is the custom ROM community for it ? I can see there are a couple custom ROMs but are there stable enough to for daily usage ? I remember exynos had very limited developer support, so there was not many great ROMs for exynos devices out there, what do you think ? Galaxy Tab S or S2 ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
The S1 is a masterpiece the S2 is a frankenstein monster, 4:3 spit, virtually mono sound spit, so looks plain jane spit, no camera flash spit, no if-red spit, portrait design spit, I though it was an Galaxy Tab A by the photo`s it looks so cheap.

Exynos version has loads of rom`s, snapdragon version hardly any, If you want stability stick to kitkat, if your fine with flashing have fun with different roms.

John
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
But what about the lags and stutters on kitkat ? I heard lollipop fixed that. is it true ?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I have had no lag or stutter on my 10.5" kitkat , I had it running continuously for 160 days, I never shut it down or restarted it, I only did a restart to re-calibrate my battery but i had no problems with the battery, it was just maintenance.

But i am not a gamer, I mostly watch video`s and browse the internet for at least an hour every day, but white on an oled display eats the battery, if you do a lot of browsing use night mode or get an lcd tablet.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrEzkimo:
hmm. hard question. I personally would not get either right now. The s2 looks like a step backwards in the key areas, the darn screen.

the s has the lovely screen, but unless you can get a decent deal, its too long in the tooth to spend out a lot for.

its so irritating as there are no tabs which tick all the boxes. the experia z3 is good, but the res is lower, but everything else is up to speed.

dont get me wrong, I really do like my tablet, but who knows what is coming out in the next few months, or will be announced. I hope finally there is something which is progress in all areas.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
The Tab S2 has a lower resolution screen than the Tab S (both resolution AND PPI), a significantly smaller battery and a marginally upgraded processor.

I'd wait for the true successor to the Tab S - which will likely a more upmarket SAMOLED tablet, priced higher than the Tab S with a full metal body (Like the Galaxy Tab A) and more of a competitor for the iPad.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I prefer plastic to metal, metal is cold and when bent or dented it does not spring back like plastic also it blocks radio waves so you have to have non metal sections to let the waves in and out, Samsung are masters of durable plastic, you can bend the battery cover of their phones almost in two and it will spring back without any damage try that with metal.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abillybob:
So I bought my Tab S around a month ago and I have to say I'm in love with it! After seeing the specs of the Tab S 2 I knew straight away the device for me.

The tab s in my opinion tick pretty much every box the only thing I wish was better is the GPU for gaming (not that it plays games badly - they play well enough) but I can be quite picky and if I'm not getting the max FPS from a game I feel upset! Everything else on the tablet is perfect and I'm the kind of chap that sells his devices every couple of months for the latest better version but this is the first device I've come across that I've not even looked at replacing, well worth the £300 I spent for it. The xperia z4 tablet is now out and it's specs are majorly impressive but it's thick bezels I think make it an ugly design, I love the thin sides of the Tab S, another tablet I've been looking at is the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 but again after seeing it in the shop I think it's quite ugly and put a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse and hancom fine with my tab s and it's replaced my laptop, which I'm selling on eBay at the moment as it hasn't been used since I bought my tablet.

I'm a network manager at a school and have used my Tab S for a hell of a lot including connecting to multiple servers and writing 30 page policies. It's a great little device.

I upgraded to Lollipop but I'm using IronRom instead of stock and I have to say it's very stable and very fast. No lag. On antutu I got around the 4100 mark with all my GPU and CPU over locked it's just as powerful as an S5 phone. I'd recommend it to anyone and already multiple family members and the girlfriend have ordered one after seeing mine.

Sorry this was long but I hope it helped :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp3:
Comes down to a few questions:

Do you value performance. The Exnos 5420 is a 2 year old processor. The 5433/7410 is a 1 year old processor (though it is a 20nn version of the 7420 in the S6)

Do you value battery life. The Tab S2 8.0 has a battery that is 20% smaller than the original tab. It may be that the 20nn processor and smaller newer screen are more efficient but I don't expect better battery life.

Do you value longevity/updates: The Tab S2 is a year newer so it will have its updates discontinued later than the Tab S.

Does display ratio matter to you: If you mostly read, the Tab S2 may be a dream come true. If you mostly watch videos, it's a disaster.

Do you value internal storage: Other than a best buy limited edition model, the Tab S has 16gb storage. The S2 has 32GB.

It seems like the Tab S2 is a Galaxy Note 4 (international) turned into a tablet. The Tab S was the Galaxy Note 3 (international) turned into a tablet.

This is a tough question for me. I re-bought the Tab S 8.4 for 190 (ridiculous deal best buy had a few months ago) after leaving it late last year to try other tablets (The Xperia Z3 Tablet and the Venue 7840). I also bought the Tab S 8.4 on day 1 last year (great deal, $350 for the tablet, Samsung cover, and 16gb sd card) to replace my Tab Pro 8.4 that I bought on day 1. I'm leaning towards getting it if the same deal is in play.

I have asked basic maths for help:

So I do not see any advantage for browsing in new generation...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abillybob:
Unfortunately yes he is right here as the Tab S processor is a year older, though I find it very quick and non-laggy when using IronRom on lollipop. As stated above the one thing I'd change is GPU performance but remember you always have over clocking when you root! :D

Best thing about android is that you can flash a custom ROM so updates never bother me as I can always flash a latest build of Cyanogenmod if needs be.

I have 16GB internal storage on my Tab S including a 128GB memory card. Everything including apps is stored on my memory card thanks to the app "foldermount" you must be rooted though, I don't think the Tab S 2 has expandable storage but I could be wrong.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
Good Point the S1 beats the S2 in both horizontal and vertical resolution, so the S2 is not really better for browsing, though you have to turn the S1 10.5" to portrait mode as it`s an landscape tablet while the S1 8.4" is an portrait style already.

S1 - just bought my third for the household, was holding out for the S2 but so glad i did not wait for a iPad Air copy.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
This morning I read that the S2 comes with Android 5.0.2 and started to laugh. Seriously 5.1.1 has been out for months including on a few Samsung devices. At the glacial pace that Samsung updates their tablet OS versions Android M will have been out for at least three months before the S2 gets v5.1.1, what a joke.

That on top of an older processor makes you wonder why they even bothered. I'm very happy to have bought my S 10.5 at almost $70 less retail, a few months ago, rather than this laughable new flagship tablet. Samsung's advantage of the best screen technology in the industry is getting sabotaged by very odd engineering decisions. It seems like the tablet division is run by their B team.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stopa10:
Frankly speaking, I would never buy an S2 over the Tab S. At the moment on the Tab S you can have Lollipop, Xposed, custom kernels with F2FS, and the tablet flies, literally.

Samsung tab s2 hands on and comparison with tab s. In English . According to this guy tab s2 has much more per and pricing will be matched to tab S.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] episode96:
Well, the advantage is that is almost the same viewing area but in a smaller and lighter package. Also, much more natural than the awkwardness that 16:10 is in portrait on such a large tablet as the tab S IMO. YMMV.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
That video sure did nothing to change my mind that the S2 is a step backward. Especially the comparison of reading the magazine which showed nothing visually while the video playback did demonstrate the smaller picture and unused screen black bars. Is Samsung going to pronounce, to video watchers, that the black bars on video playback is actually a way to extend your battery life? Which maybe needed as the thinner design and aspect ratio has reduced overall battery size. It is going to be tough to polish a turd and sell it at a flag ship price.

After reading the S2 details I'm still amazed that the OS is v5.0.2 and it does not have the same processor that the S6 phone uses. What were they thinking?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
If you watch a lot of movies i hope you dont get uneven oled wear on the S2 as the back bars will have little wear and the movie in the center the most, on plasma tv`s they make the black bars grey to reduce burn-in, is this applicable to oled.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
When S2 is released for $500, S1 can be bought for around $250 or less, so the pricing is not the same. S2 is not worth it.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I think the price of the S1 with stay the same or only drop a bit due to the poor reception of the S2 i have seen so far.

For web browsing and media....4:3 hands down is much better. Videos??? Yup...16:10. I mostly use my tab as a web browser, and reader, so I'm glad for the new ratio.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
The S1 has better horizontal and vertical resolution than the S2 so you can fit more on an webpage when it is used in portrait mode.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
I really dont understand this argument that 4:3 is better for reading and browsing. why is it better ? I understand that 4:3 may feel more natural as it is closer to a square, but other than this I dont see any other sensible reasons. I have used my Nexus 10 with 16:9 ratio for 3 years for reading and browsing and it is absolutely fine.

I feel it is another apple made bull****, like before apple make big phones, all big phones were bricks but after that it was OK. I am sure apple will someday switch to 16:9 ratio, as 4:3 is terrible for video and then everyone would say 16:9 is better for browsing and reading as well :D

I love my Tab S 10.5, mine is stock running Lollipop. For what I use it for which is mostly movies and XFinity On Demand it is great. I don't have any lag, it performs great. I am not a big gamer so the SOC in the original with the 3 Gig or ram is more than enough for me. I don't see myself buying a new tablet any time soon other than maybe a spare Tab S 10.5 at the lower price. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
The S2 only has 3GB of ram the same as the S1, lollipop is supposed to work on as little as 0.5GB

I would have preferred and Snapdragon quad cpu over the Exynos octo core, It`s weird all eight cores are supposed to be able to run at the same time, but it was crippled to keep the heat down, and all cpu apps only show four cores, when the promotional video`s showed more tha 4 running at once, the cpu just does what it wants and you have no control, the Snapdragon can turn cores off, when the Exynos only sets them to the lowest frequency.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifthelement:
Not only it has the same amount of RAM, it is still DDR3 same as S1.

S2 is a downgrade or equivalent to S1 in every department except SoC. so disappointing.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Tablets sales are down for everyone, so they are not putting their resources on tablets. Phones will always get the best specs and best and latest software.

Of course it becomes a vicious cycle, doesn't it. People buying fewer tablets, so they put less money and efforts in development and don't give people enough reason to buy or upgrade, which leads to even worse sales....

If you use a 4:3 tablet for a while, you'll understand.

For example, if you browse the web in landscape, on a 4:3 you see more of the vertical page before you have to scroll. Now obviously on 16:10 you see more of the page horizontally but mostly that extra horizontal space is wasted. Pages are mostly desired to scroll down, not sideways, so 4:3 means more of the page visible at a time.

If you browse in portrait, then 16:10 gives you more vertical space, but you have to shrink the page so it fits horizontally. If you have 20/20 eyesight, that's fine. If you don't, it's not as comfortable.

Or take email. 4:3 in landscape, you see more messages in the message list. 4:3 in portrait, there is enough space to split the screen into list pane on left and message body pane on right. With 16:10 in landscape, less vertical space, fewer messages in list. 16:10 portrait, you either go with awkward narrow split panes, or you hide the list and use a pull out drawer. Which is why a lot of android tablet apps are just phone apps scaled up, because most android tablets are 16:9 or 16:10, like a giant phone.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vesten:
Right, so. Managed to unlock and root my M9 successfully, no problems, using a good guide, which included making a Nandroid backup prior to rooting.

So I decide to get rid of LeeDroid and restore my Nandroid backup. All went well. Then TWRP asks if I want to install SuperSU as my device isn't rooted. So swipe yes, and it goes through the usual list, and just as it gets to the last line my phone goes off, and reboots.

I've tried both the stable and beta and always get the same damn crash/reboot, tried the mounting methods, but NOTHING works!

Could anyone shed any light as to why? It's the GSM variant of the M9.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
what exact version of twrp?

Is the backup a system IMAGE backup?

are you entering TWRP in read-only mode?

When you try to restore now, what does the terminal output say?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vesten:
TWRP version 2.8.7.0

The backup was made using TWRP after flashing it for the first time, which included the usual data, system, etc.

Not sure about TWRP entering read only mode. I read it only does this on unmodified software. Mine is still saying modified even after restoring my nandroid.

Also unsure of what the terminal says without copying the log. Can restore it as many times as I want.

Can't be much more help until I get to a PC.

I'm still S-On, etc. Have a feeling it's to do with the TWRP read only thing...
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
well, when you go to restore twrp, does it say unable to wipe system/cache, etc?

If so, go into the mount menu and put a check mark in the system read only box, then uncheck it and try to restore again.

If that doesn't work, try updating to the latest twrp, which is 2.8.7.1. http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/?id=8915#downloads

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vesten:
Flashed that latest TWRP. Then tried flashing SuperSU. Same thing. Just shuts off completely and reboots back to Android.

In the mount menu, system is unchecked. and the bottom "Only mount system read-only" is also unchecked.

The Terminal log gets to..

"Placing files..."

Restoring files..."

Then shuts off. I'm starting to think I'm going to have to flash a stock RUU and start from scratch.

BTW this is after checking system. It seems to do nothing at all.

EDIT: Would not having an external SD in it matter at all? I originally flashed SuperSU using the internal SD card.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
What happens when you restore your backup and reboot without installing supersu?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vesten:
Will let you know soon. Just restoring again.

When I made the Nandroid backup, there's a new option to backup recovery too, which I did. Could this mean anything? I'm assuming it's backed up TWRP because stock obviously wasn't present when making the backup.

Will try and screenshot the log.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jollywhitefoot:
Yeah backing up recovery doesn't matter....as you suspected it just backs up twrp, so if you backed up the older version, then updated it, don't restore the old version
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vesten:
Interesting. There's nothing saying it couldn't write anything..

Just tried opening SuperSU from my restored backup, and hits me with "There is no SuperSU binary installed!" This is a problem, blah, blah, etc.

Then tried check-boxing the 'system' box in the Mount section. Then tried flashing UPDATESuperSu.VsXX and just gave me the usual as said above. Crashed and reboots.
