[Q] Bricked device

pow3rflow3r · Jan 4, 2014

Hello,

I have rooted my device and have CM10.1 installed (already months ago).

My kids did something and now the device is stuck on the CM boot screen.

I can boot into the CWM recovery (unfortunately there is no backup present).
I did a factory reset/wipe cache/wipe david cache.
This did not solve the problem.

I wanted to use Odin1.85 to flash a new rom, but Odin can not connect to my device.
I downloaded the Samsung mobile drivers and tried the version 1.3.15 and version 1.3.25 drivers.

When I go to the "Download Mode" and connect the cable to the device (with Odin already started), I get the message on my laptop that the "device is not recognized". On the device the message "waiting USB cable" keeps showing.

I tried to connect with ADB but then when I try to see my device "ADB devices" the list shows nothing.

So I think it is a driver problem, not sure.
My laptop is running Windows 7.

Anyone got any idea what to do??

Any help is much appreciated!!

Do you have any ROM zips in your SD card? If so, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik in recovery and flash that ROM.

No I don't have any roms on the device.
Wished it was so easy.

Well I can't help much since I don't know what your kids did. All I can say is just try to get Odin to be able to recognize your tab, but you already know that.

BTW, here's the driver that I use. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/GT-P7510MAYXAB

Thanks for the link.

Did try the drivers you are using, but that also is not working.

I will try to get another laptop and see if it is working on there.

pow3rflow3r · Jan 5, 2014

I reinstalled all drivers of my laptop, but to no avail!
I (un/)installed several Samsung USB drivers but all I tried did not help.

So my next step will be first try it on another laptop (I did not get hold of another laptop yet)..

Stupid, stupid.

I had a nightly in the cmupdater folder.

I did wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache.
Then I installed the nightly from the cmupdater folder.

Rebooted the device but it still hangs on the startup screen of Cyanogenmod.

Any other ideas or is it now really bricked!

I only have a nighly rom in the cmupdater folder.
No boot.img

Also I cannot connect to my tablet with Odin or adb.
So I dont see how I can flash the boot.img or am I missing something?

Try a full wipe including system.

There should be boot.img within the cm's zip file.

Check it
or
reflash the rom again and perform the full wipe.

What do u mean exactly with a full wipe?
System wipe? I can not find that option in CWM

Did u read my problem?
I know there is a boot.img inside the cm rom. But I can not extract it from the rom since my tablet is stuck at the boot screen with the cm logo.
And it is not possible to flash a img from CWM recovery, only zip files.

Again do I miss something?
Can CWM extract files?
Can CWM flash img files?

A full wipe means formating system, data, dalvik cache and cache. You can find in under mounts.

Well I guess you just have to figure out how to get your tab to connect to PC then. Good luck!

You don't have this tab do you? We don't have fastboot mode, or at least nobody said anything about fastboot before.

I have the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 wifi model P7510.

I have fastboot on my phone, but never heard of it on the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 also.
We can go into the download mode, but fastboot mode???

put the stock rom on it if u want and flash it.

and i asked u for the tab details

use this

Hold down the power button and make sure it turns off. There might be a battery charging symbol on the screen once it’s off.
Hold down Volume Down, and then Power buttons. The tablet should power up. Wait till there are two icons.
Press the Volume Down button to toggle between which icon is selected. Make sure the LEFT (USB) icon is selected.
Press the Volume Up button to actually select. Now you are in “Fastboot” mode.
Plug the tablet into your computer’s USB port
