Hi all,
From googling it seems there's been loads of issues similar to this. Unfortunately my tablet isn't just not shutting down, it won't even come on! Since I updated it 2 days ago, it just gets stuck on the flashing samsung logo and won't shut off, only continually reboot if you try to turn it off. From reading, I suspect I may have tried to update it when the battery was <50% but in my defence I can't really remember.
After reading some other posts, here's what I've tried:
>wiping the cache - not worked
>factory reset - not worked
>loading the firmware through SD card - doesn't seem to work - it won't let me click on the file I know I've put on the SD card [although tbh I suspect the boyfriend may have downloaded the wrong firmware as he tried this earlier and that could well be why it's not working]
>Samsung Kies won't pick up the tablet and just gets stuck on the connection screen so can't update it that way
>have tried flashing stock rom via ODIN for a recovery tutorial I read as thought nothing else would hurt seeing as it had already died a spectacular death - seemed like this worked initially but no joy
>am in the process of downloading the current firmware to try again via ODIN as the samsungmobile/firmware website keeps giving me 502 bad gateway error when I try to download the relevant file.
Any suggestions???
MEGA p***ed off now tbh.
Thanks
