[Q] Screen Blinking Problem (GT-N5110)

[rena14]

Later this night my tablet was working perfectly... I was charging the tablet that was with %1 of battery

Suddenly, the tablet turned off, and when I tryed to turn it back on, the screen started blinking, and I coulnd't even turn it on because it freezes every time i tryed to boot it...

I tryed restoring a Nandroid Backup, and it worked, for 10 seconds :victory:

The blinking started again, so I tried flashing a new ROM, maybe it could work, but no

I wiped the data, cache dalvik-cache, and formated system, but when I tried to choose the ROM, this message "Couldn't mount /sdcard" appeared

So, my last chance was to flash a firmware via Odin, but also, didn´t work

I enter into Download Mode, loaded the firmware, clicked start, and "FAIL" when writing "boot"

What I tried
_Stock firmware 4.1.2
_Stock firmware 4.2.2
_Odin 3.07
_Odin 3.09
_Windows 8
_Windows 8.1

First what was the % of the battery??? Did you say one (1) ? Try charging it all the way till it says 100%

Second do you still have custom recovery? If so go to mounts and storage and see if it says unmount in front of the SD card ... if so hit that and it should turn to unmount... then try again to find your Rom.

Hoping this helps you

Never flash or attempt to start a device under minimum power. That is rule number one!

Like the above answer, with the device off, plug in power and let it charge to 100%.

Start up recovery, and flash a backup ROM.

Not sure about windows 8. can't vouch for you there.

Sorry if didn't specified better...

When it got broken the battery was %0, and I don't know if it´s getting charged because the only things I can do es enter into Download Mode, or watch that message about a bad flashing.

And about the Recovery, it got lost when the flashing went wrong. Anyway something happened with the internal storage that "wasn't mount", when in "mounts and storage" menu appeared like mounted

You think that if I charge the tablet some hours, will I be able to flash through Odin?

Or maybe any other idea?

When the tablet is off and you plug in the charger there should a battery "popping" up and should tell you how many % of charge it has, just let it charge all the way to 100%

Once it is completely charged you should be able to flash via Odin.
But the internal storage is kind of worrisome to me, when you tried to flash you did not by accident have the re-partition checked? I hope.
Anyway wait till its completely charged and try flashing a Stock Rom again.

The thing is that battery popping up doesn't appear... There's just a message telling me that the flashing went wrong...

Anyway, I´m gonna rey letting it charge some houts and then try to flash again...

Thanks

Try holding down the power button with the charger cable detached and see if that message disappears, it looks to me that the tablet is still on, if it does disappear plug your charge cable in and see what happens.

Did you find a solution for this issue? I've had the same issue, I tried re flashing it, that gave me an error as well. Every subsequent attempt shows write fail.:crying:

I had the same problem. In my case, i realize that it had happend a few days after I opened the tablet (n5110). After the blinking problem, I opened again and disconneted the battery with the power cable on. Waited for a few seconds and confirm that the blinking is same side effect of the battery disconnected or with bad connection. After reconnect the battery, everything ok and charging normally again. Good luck for you all!

I have similar problem and solved

I have similar problem, I left the phone charged, and suddenly the phone switched off and on again, the screen start blinking rapidly and stuck in boot screen. If I turned off and charge it, no battery signal pop, only empty battery with white circle (I thought it was stuck when the phone tried to show battery charging animation).

This is what have done:
1. Open the back case of the phone and checked the battery, and it was OK, but the phone still has same behavior after I put the battery back.
2. Tried to flash using ODIN and no luck, because the phone was not detected.
3. I suspect there was a connection problem between ODIN and the phone, so I checked the cable and PC USB driver, still no luck.
4. I am lucky have spare USB charger connector part (Female USB connector attached in the bottom of the phone with small PCB and ribbon cable). I replaced the part.
5. Try re-run ODIN and the phone was detected, I flashed it and my phone back to normal

I am not sure what cause the blinking screen, maybe there was some glitch in the software, but it is fixed after flashing the ROM using ODIN.

For undetected phone, I suggest you check the computer USB driver, USB cable and the connector. And for preemptive action, I suggest you force charging the phone, even no charging animation appear to make sure the phone is flashed with sufficient power.

Hope this helps you to solve the problem.
