Can you get into download mode?
If you can, you can flash a KDZ and it should work.

what is download mode exectly?

Hold power button and volumpe key down and home botton together to enter into download mode. After this you can connect your phone to pc and flash rom

As already suspected, this is probably a defect of mainboard. You will have to send it to Samsung Service Point. This could still be a warranty case, but from here on only Samsung can help you.
greets

Can you enter into cwm recovery mode. If you can then I don't think there s way. Coz it'll show you tat you've rooted ur phone. If you can't then go to service center and pretend to them that you haven't even heard the word root in your whole life. Tel them that you just tried to update thru kies nd it got bricked. No other way my friend.

Note- your phone shd be within warranty period. Then it'll be replaced. I haven't done tis. But, heard from guys who did it.

What I see is that she's not having problem with bricking phone, so.. no need imo..
She just need to reflash... I believe she got wrong package when flashing? Like broken package.
Try checking http://www.samfirmware.com/
get a stock rom of your country / other, and reflash it with correct settings...
That should do it

Hi Irish..
Sorry for late response
I'm not going to get everybody afraid but want to make them AWARE
Basically i wanna explain more about the "BRICKING"
There are soft brick and hard brick
SOFT BRICK
Soft brick cause by bad installation :
Corrupted file
Bad flashing way
Power off while flashing
Soft brick will cause the phone wont load the OS, the characteristic are
After booting, couldn't load OS after the logo shown and keep the screen blank
After booting and get into OS, suddenly system crash and reboot
You can go thru reboot mode and download mode
This issue can be fixed by re-flashing your phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HARD BRICK
Hard brick cause by:
Broken Hardware
Very-very wrong way of flashing
What really cause this ?
It's the damaged "ADB Interference Driver" that caused the device cannot give any command to system. In example your device wont reboot after flashing although ODIN has sent reboot command
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The characteristic are:
If your hardware damaged, your system will crash all over the time meanwhile you already re-flash but it cannot fixed
Your device have a boot loop and unable to go to recovery mode
Hah.. very wrong way flashing ?
Some device (Galaxy Ace & Galaxy 3 Apollo) have firmware that included with automatically system/data/cache format. They will not experience* this hard brick because the firmware doing cleaning before flashing
Sometime user not aware of this
They just go right away then flashing, this can cause hard brick
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How about Wonder ?
No, wonder firmware not included this command so you must clean data/system/cache first
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to fix this hard brick ?
Until now i didn't get any way to fix it, because it linked to damaged "ADB Interference Driver" so you cannot use any command in your device
It this happen you should go to Samsung Service Center
How to Flash Correctly (Custom ROM)
Make a full back up of your device & apps
Do full wipe on data/system/cache
Flash your latest stock ROM
Get Root access & CWM Recovery
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted
Make sure to copy it to primary SD card (no need to swap)
Make sure you have 85-100 battery or in charged with 85-100 power available

I hope it help
Download your ROM correctly make sure not get corrupted
Rio, is there any way to check it?

Yes, if the uploader publises a MD5 checksum. Than you, as downloader, will be able to check the MD5 checksum of the downloaded file.
If not available I think all you can do to minimize the chance of not getting a corrupted file is by checking the size of the downloaded files and the one which is displayed at the filehoster. Other option would be to download the file twice and compare the MD5 checksum of the both files. if they are same everything is fine, if not ...

I learned Cryptography System before. I know the function of Md5 check sum. It is a "digest" of host file. BUT it can only check the integrity of the file. If the original file has already corrupted before making its md5, u won't know anyway.

Odin is the Samsung equivalent of Sony's Flashtool. CWM is another lifesaver as it has wipe options built in that can help to get a phone to boot. CWM remains installed even if the main OS is removed........

Yeah I have used sony phone for a while and i have broken it (Hard bricked) when unlocking the bootloader, then I picked up a galaxy w and I am still in love with it, Its a single core but it can do miracles. I have soft bricked my phone many times, I sometimes delete the ROM i put on the sd card to have room for the kernel and other tweaks so i use Odin to just return the stock OS and then get a new ROM and flash it inside. There is not much risk and you cant go wrong with the phone. I fixed mine many times and i know how many frustration you get when doing such thing. I remember the first time when i bricked my phone by installing kernel for another android version, and then i booted up to CWM and wiped data/cache and flashed a new rom. Because of the long booting time i thought that its over, i broke my phone, but after sitting there for 10 mins. it finally booted up. Damn i was so happy then, i rooted my phone and installed a new rom for first time :victory:

[Q] I am in desperate need of help.

Here's the dealio. I'm a retard. And now I need help.
I tried installing the Paranoid Android rom to my Z1 Compact. But instead of using fastboot flash thingy I just put the zip on my SD-card as I have always done on my S3. After the installation of course failed in TWRP Recovery I tried rebooting the phone. But now it is just black. If I hold down the power button it just keeps vibrating every other second or so. And I can't get it in to recovery mode. I can't hold down the factory reset button. I can't do a hard reset. The only thing I can get to work is fastboot thing where the LED turns blue.
Please help me. Please?:good:
I found the solution myself. Thank you if you even considered helping out! I don't know how to delete this thread so I wouldn't mind an admin doing so
You could try to flash the stock rom using Sony's Flash Tool...
EDIT: Seems you have already found out yourself. Maybe you could share your solution for future users?

[Q] And I mannage to soft brick....

Hey guys me again, I have been trying since 2 hours to unbrick my 2 days old Galaxy tab s 10.5, After successfully rooting my new tablet I decided to make a back up of my stock system, I used TWRP recovery to do so, after booting successfully on TWRP, I wanted to make sure I will have a clean image, I manually erased every possible thing on my table by selecting every option on TWRP, once done and on my way to reboot, before quitting TWRP warn me that there wasnt any system, and even with this warning I quit. Result I bricked my tablet hopefully "soft", to get even better I remembered that I didnt had a micro sd card on my tablet and by consequence I must have erase TWRP and every possible restore solution, the table get stuck with the Boot logo and thats it... I can get at least into download mode,. I tried Kies 3 but Im getting an error that my device is not recognized and for Odin I do think is connected but I dont know how to use or what to install or what to do. And I don't get it why my program seems so buggy and I can´t select any of those options.
at least I could root my phone easily.
ps: I did try every possible combination to get into recovery mode and is just impossible there is no way.
if anybody rescue me I seriously cant thank you enough I googled around and did search a lot on the XDA forums, I'm now more scared to tweak around and make things worst , and maybe if not to late permanently dammage it.

Hey maxal, thx for replying, my English is really not the best, if you think its not understandable I will re edit and try again.
You will need to find and download your firmware from Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T800/BTU/
and use odin to reflash your stock firmware.
Read this too. http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/09/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-s-10-5-wifi/
TURNING THE DARNED THING OFF:
Here's the problem. If you are at the Samsung splash screen or boot looping Recovery, you cannot turn your tablet off by just pressing the power button and you can't pull the battery. This prevents you from getting back into Recovery or download mode to restore your nandroid backup or use Odin
So here is what you do:
1) Plug your tablet into your computer (this is important!).
2) Hold down the home, volume down and power buttons until you boot into download mode. Once you are prompted, push the volume up button to enter download mode completely.
3) Now, once in download mode, hold down the power and volume down buttons (not the home button this time) until you screen goes blank (your tablet MUST be plugged into your computer for this to work!). Release the buttons and you will see the battery symbol on your screen. Your tablet is now off - thank god.
4) To enter Recovery mode, hold the home, volume up and power buttons down until Recovery loads.
5) Restore your nandroid backup if you have one.

I did get my self in a mess and I was stuck on the Samsung logo and with the help of the forum and what I have told you I managed to get my Tab S to turn off, I then boot in to download mode and used Odin to flash stock firmware again

I don't know which firmware you should have as I don't know where you are from, but I don't think it should make much difference, the firmware I gave the link for is the UK one.

OK, Thanks.
But please keep in mind for the future that the load to your Tab better the original firmware that corresponds to its original CSC Region code. This can help you avoid some of the problems in the firmware flashing. How it may be defined, you can read in this thread:

Hi maxal,
Download via KIES will not check root If you do not connect the tablet to a PC. It only checks the serial number and model type of your Tab for search new updates firmware with determine the correct CSC Region code. You can even download the correct firmware by KIES to your PC without having to connect the tablet and then save the file firmware (this requires some tricks) and flash it via Odin. To do this, you need only enter the serial number and model type of the device in KIES menu Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. More details have here:

In this case you no need connect the tablet to PC. It also confirms ashyx here:
