How can i remove the battery to restart?? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i tried to update my firmware. So i downloadet from samfirmware.com the new firmware and the odin-tool. Then i followed the steps are shown here: samfirmware.com/P1000%20how%20to%20flash.pdf
not the steps are shown in the video. But now i reached step "7" and it says i should remove the battery to restart. HOW CAN I DO THIS?
At this time, my galaxy tab restarted and i there is the whole time the start screen which says "Galaxy Tab .............. Samsung".
Can i switch the Tab manually off to reach the Download Mode again?
Thx a lot

press and keep pressing power button and vol down --> download mode
press and keep pressing power button --> restart tab

You cam press power button for few seconds to power down. If you need to start 'download' mode, once you powered down device, press three button at same time, down+exit+power, it will appear download mode on screen.

My US Tmo manual says "Note: You cannot remove the device's back cover and battery."
But the UK manual says:

Altho it does not give instructions for replacing the battery...
So looks like US versions can't be replaced... at least by us.

Beware of fw's from samfirmaware. They have locked bootloaders and youll permanently lock up ur device from installing custom roms and root.

This isn't entirely accurate... As a method/exploit has been created to unlock the bootloaders, and I'm fairly certain it works for any firmware with a locked bootloader... I could be wrong there too though.

my galaxy tap now can't get into download mod or recovery. How should i do?

Try TO charge int through the wall charger foto atto least 4 hours then boot download volume down and power toghether tor few secs... redo operation or installing fw

You have to press the power button for a while (min 5 sec) after this you have to load the tab for 4h.........
Whrn its done press thr volume DOWN button and the power button for a second.now you are in the download mode and you can flash the gb stock rom and the kernel from team.overcome.net.with this you have a really god base for the ics rom.............(if you want it..... )

[HELP] Wrong firmwire on european Galaxy S

While trying to restore my phone to default, my computer installed at&ts firmwire to my phone. It won't start, just flashing the at&t screen. The original firmwire were JP2. How can I restore the phone back to the download state or do I have a brick in my hand?
Can u enter download mode?
- Remove Battery for about 1 Minute
- Reinsert Battery
- Press VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER
- Now you should see a yellow triangle. This is the download mode.
- Start flashing a fresh firmware with Odin (see big faq thread for infos http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596)
Nope, it only shows either black screen or the at&t logo...
Well some galaxy s phones have download mode disabled, looks like you've bricked.

JTAG service will be available in Finland shortly.
Voids the warranty, ain´t cheap either... But less anyway than the price of new motherboard at service.

Or:
If that doesn't work, or if your phone is frozen:
1. Turn the power off. If your Samsung Galaxy S is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Volume Down button
3. Press and release the Power button
4. You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5. Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power button
7. Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

And there was a trick something like phone off loading press home and vol down
It seems that the firmware installation didn't finish properly, so the device boots every time after showing the at&t logo. And odly when you plug the usb (datacable or charcher) it dies. But when you take it off the device start againg with the logos.
Did you tried the hard reset ?

[Q] Safe boot for Galaxy Note ?

Hi,
Is it possible to boot in safe mode, i.e. with no user application autoloading ? Does this capability exist with any stock or custom ROM or Kernel ?
Nope

Android doesnt know what safe mode is
Sent from GNOTE - The Indisputable Beast of Android World
I think that's not entirely true.
A couple of users complained about their device booting in safe mode accidentaly, and someone knowledgeable (like Dr. Ketan, for instance, I'm not sure) said that you can boot in safe mode like this:
Tap repeatedly on the menu button while your Note is beginning its boot.
Never tried it though.
The trick is to be holding the left/menu button during the transition from the animated "S" screen to the screen that follows. BUT, the key must also be unlit. Because the LED automatically turns on again after 3 seconds, you have to tap and hold the key every couple of seconds, and do it quickly.
Update: Depending on the phone and firmware, you may just need to hold the menu button until Safe Mode appears - which makes it easier.
To exit safe mode, hold the power button for 8-10 seconds. It will force a full shut down. Then power it back up normally.

Its like the safe mode in PC
Basically crash the sgn and I think it will boot safe mode, although I didn't do it on purpose
(I think you can make it happen by fully using up all the ram and thus making it super laggy which could freeze the device then constantly press the home button constantly) but take my word on it...

If some misbehaving application autoloads and makes the phone unstable (bootloops) it is often impossible to identify the culprit and frezze/uninstall it. Safe mode may help regaining control and diagnosing & correcting the problem.
Safe Boot does work
You've got to constantly tap the left/menu touch button, tap-hold-let-go the button on every one second interval while powering on. Then it'll show when it reaches the lock screen, that device is running in Safe Mode.
As said above, Just keep pressing legt touchscreen button and home button, it worked for me, but all apps in the app drawer are set back to 'the begin' ;p

You can Simply boot safe mode without 3rd party apps

VZW Hard bricked

While flashing a kernel/rom over to my tab I lost power... So the device seems to be hard bricked. Doesn't turn on no back light no icons of any sort. Left it plugged into usb wall charger over night and still nothing. I have searched the forums and have come up with no solution other then sending it out and paying to have someone fix it.
I am comfortable taking it apart and have done so already trying to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312391 however its a no go because I have a VZW tab the sch-i800.
So any ideas on how to fix it without sending it out and paying for a fix?
I don't own a CDMA device,
but my understanding is that it is hard to brick the tab just by losing power during flash.
The bootloader is very small so flashing should have occured fast at that area of the chip.
Unless your battery is literally at 1% when you flash it.
Now you can't go to download mode at all? (Vol-Down + Power)
I can not in any way get any menu or image or even back light to turn on with any combination of buttons. I think if only the tab lost power it would have been fine but the computer I was using to flash with lost power due to a local outage.
have you tried pushing the power button down for about 10 seconds (in case it is not fully down)
Yes, after hours of being plugged in to usb wall charger, with the cord that shipped with the device holding power + vol up/down or anything else, yields nothing. However the back does get warm as if the device were on. I only know this because I tried this test with the device out of its case, and was able to feel a small amount of heat off the back plate covering the mobo chips.
but have you push the power for 10 seconds or more?
If still feels warm, means it is not yet powered down completely
Yes I have tried holding the power for up to a minute, I can power the device down rather easily seeing that the case is off and the battery is easily removed.
Lots of recommendation to preconnect to Odin and start up the device in download mode.
Sometimes Odin will see the device added suddenly even when device is dark.
Then quickly flash the rom when it happens.

Try what Priyana recommended (Start up Odin, plug your G-Tab to your PC, and press power and vol down to go to download mode), and see if odin can detect your tab. You might get lucky.
If not, check this thread, it is the unbrickable mod for the CDMA:

[Q] Shorted out/ faulty buttons?

Hello and thank you for your responses in advance.
I am having a very strange issue with my galaxy mini:
During normal usage ( specifically using whatsapp) and a quick burst of the back button my phone started taking screenshots with every button press and also when settled on a table would either flash the menu function ( like the menu button was pressed ) or bring up a google search ( screen was off it turned on and flashed a menu or opened google search ) . The display would not turn on using the home button and also when turned off and then turned back on it would go into recovery mode( like home+ power was pressed) where the home button was unresponsive for selection (reboot/ wipe/ etc) . This was not consistent, sometimes the phone would boo,t work normally for a few minutes then start taking screenshots when fiddled with and also in recovery mode sometimes the home button would work for the menu selection but sometimes the menu key would work for the selection (rarely) . I tried restoring to factory settings, wiping data cache, flashing CM7 , flashing stock, rooting, unrooting, pulling the battery out, i even intentionally soft bricked it ( bad cm7 flash ) just to see if it makes any difference . Nada, phone would either boot normally and start taking screenshots, flashing the " you just pressed the menu button" selection rapidly or simply opening google search when set on a table OR it would boot into recovery where i couldn't select anything and i had to remove the battery and plug it back in several times for me to be able to select reboot now. Phone was a stock 2.3.4 orange Romania rooted for me to be able to read the network unlock code from inside the binaries, no custom rom was flashed prior to this. I was thinking that me using the phone as an mp3 player at the gym (keeping it in my gym shorts) would of enabled sweat to seep through the keypad go under the buttons and short them out over time ? My last trip to the gym was weeks ago so that's strange.

The cell has menu/home/back and volume up down and the power button. The behavior is present all the time not just when it is conected via usb . As far as i know the home key should be enter in the recovery menu, i've tried all 3 keys but they don't work. But, it's not about the recovery menu, it's the fact that after it boots it's unusable as it starts taking screenshots on any button press and when i set it down it lights up and starts showing the menu like the menu key was pressed

It was already sent to a service center, the warranty is shady on the handset so i don't think i can claim it. The estimate came today, it's a faulty motherboard. The phone will be taken out back and shot in the back of the head to end its misery
Does anybody know if a replacement motherboard comes with any bootloader or software and how can I flash firmware once it is installed?

Is my note 9 bricked?

Hello everybody,
First of all, please forgive my time to time poor english. I tried to fill in my presentation and hope it's ok.
I also want to thanks all the developpers that make a great job to optimise and/or improve stock roms and to help people like me that are not so good in developping.
Let me explain my problem :
I've just bought the Samsung note 9 SM-N960F/DS I was dreaming of.
when I put my sim card inside (a french one) he went on a firmware update, and my phone changed for a french CSC (XEF). Thus, I losed some functions I like, such as SpO2 measure in Samsung Health (I know, it's not so important but...). I couldn't also force the sound in earplugs when phone whas ringing, even by using "Soundabout apk" that was working with my note 4....
I don't know why Samsung changes the available functions regarding the country as we pay the same price for in fact a bunch of functions !!!
I tried to come back to the initial CSC, by flashing an official rom, and following a tutorial on XDA site explaining how to do without rooting, using combination files.
But I certainly made an error as my phone has restarted in a curious mode named "kernel panic upload mode" that I cannot escape. It's impossible to go back to download mode, even with combo like vol down + start button, or other combinations of buttons.
This phone wasn't rooted and i'm afraid now as I don't know how to flash a working rom on it. Whem I use Odin, the flashin fails at beginnig (at setup connection step).
Does somebody have an idea or a solution to fix this phone?
I join some picture of the current state.
Thanks for your answers

I can't go back to recovery mode nor to download mode...
Odin says "added" but can't setup connection...
Have you flashed with this PC before using Odin? Can you possibly try another PC? Maybe different USB cables just to eliminate possibilities.

It could be that the drivers are no good. It is also possible that you may need a warranty exchange. I'm not aware of any other boot-loader level recovery process besides odin. Maybe even try another version of odin that is known to work with our note 9.

The Kernel Panic Upload Mode doesn't prevent the phone from booting to Recovery.
1. Make sure your phone is completely powered off.
2. Press and hold the Bixby button and the Volume up button.
3. Press and hold the Power button. At this point you should be holding down three buttons. Don't let these go until you see the Recovery screen pop up.
That's really all there is to it. If you have a case that goes over your buttons it's possible you aren't pressing down hard enough for one or more of the buttons to register.

Not to nit-pick,but,when the phone is fully powered down,the simultaneous 3-button push can be released as soon as you see the Note 9 splash screen & the recovery screen should pop-up within a few seconds.

I cross all I can !!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
To get the Note 9 into download mode, do the following:
Turn the device off. Hold the volume down and Bixby button together and then plug in your USB cable that is attached to your PC. Your phone should go into download mode.
As this requires the phone to be off, you may get lucky once the battery runs out of charge.
Good luck

I've never had an issue with holding the buttons too long, but I have had an issue with not holding them long enough. I let go of the buttons as soon as the Recovery screen comes up and I haven't once had an issue with that. I think he'd have to hold the buttons for several seconds past the Recovery screen booting up before this caused an issue.

Okay, now we're on the same page. You have to be FAST with this.
1. Plug in a charging cable. This will give you the LED charging indicator on your phone.
2. Hold Power+Bixby until the charging indicator turns off. Once the charging indicator turns off you have to be VERY quick with step 3.
3. Press and hold Power+Bixby+Volume Up until you see the Recovery screen.
I was stuck in a bootloop after installing a Magisk module, and this happened to me as well. Every time I would power the phone down it wouldn't stay powered down. I had to be very fast to get into Recovery. It took me a couple of tries to press and hold the buttons quickly enough. That was partially because the case on my phone made pressing the buttons a bit more difficult.

To get the Note 9 into download mode, do the following:
Turn the device off. Hold the volume down and Bixby button together and then plug in your USB cable that is attached to your PC. Your phone should go into download mode.
As this requires the phone to be off, you may get lucky once the battery runs out of charge.
Good luck

I've never had an issue with holding the buttons too long, but I have had an issue with not holding them long enough. I let go of the buttons as soon as the Recovery screen comes up and I haven't once had an issue with that. I think he'd have to hold the buttons for several seconds past the Recovery screen booting up before this caused an issue.
Okay, now we're on the same page. You have to be FAST with this.
1. Plug in a charging cable. This will give you the LED charging indicator on your phone.
2. Hold Power+Bixby until the charging indicator turns off. Once the charging indicator turns off you have to be VERY quick with step 3.

Doesn't work as well :crying:
Is there another way to force connection with the PC in order to flash a rom again? Another "magic" application like odin but more powerfull?
The only thing that im aware of is very legacy like QPST. Im not sure if QPST is able to handle the newer phones tho. You can definitely ruin your phone with it too.
Hi again Enzyme
I looked on Google for QPST. But it seems it's only for Qualcom powered phones... mine is Exynos powered. ..
