My intent was to Root my Galaxy Tab 2 and install Linux. Instructions from another site describing the root process said to reboot to download mode. I did not know how to do this so I found your instructions on how to. Also, the other site is asking me to do something using a program called ODEN, which seem to be a Windows only app. I’m on Linux Mint17 PC so ODEN is not for me. I guess it’s back to the Internet to find a Linux app to root the Galaxy Tab. In any case, I now know how to reboot to download mode.

Dear Members, I have and urgent issue which need your help!!! The story starts like this Few days ago I was having my Galaxy Star Pro device not booting i,e restarting without any boot.I also found that the Battery was generating excessive heat. I Restarted multiple times but that did not fix.

Now, after a bit of research I tried hard reset,that didn’t work. THen I used Odin v3.0 along with Flash File for Star Pro India.It got flashed twice without any issue but did not resolve the not-booting issue.

Then I did the blunder!!! I downloaded another Flash File for same Star PRO INDIA version,and Flashed with it. The Odin showed Pass!!! After a while it did not restart,so I pulled the USB off(may b I should not have). From then The phone was not opening and no response. Odin did not detect it, however the battery is getting charged properly.

Later I was able to see the device in Device manager in my Laptop but, No DisplayI tried SPTOOLs but found that was for MediaTek and won’t support Star Pro. I tried some local shops and they suggested to forget about the device as it is Hard Bricked!!! My question,is it really Hard Bricked???If so, how come the device is showing in Device Manager. Is there any chance I can unbrick the device.Please Help me guyz. Thanks in Advance •.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S is shaking up the tablet scene with an ultra-thin, lightweight design and colorfully brilliant screen that blows the competition out of the water. The 10.5-incher isn't the only tablet with a -- the and are two of the most notable -- but of all of those the slates, the Tab S takes the cake. Its pixel-packed super-AMOLED screen boasts richly saturated colors and deep contrast levels, resulting in a visually immersive user experience and HD content that looks better than real-life. It's a high-end buy, starting at $500 for the 16GB, £399 in the UK and AU$599 in Australia (pricing for the 32GB has yet to be announced in the US and UK). But its premium build, robust user interface with bevy of customization options, and exclusive services makes the 10.5-inch tablet's lofty price easier to bear. There are a few 'gifts' when you purchase a Galaxy Tab S, including (in the US, at least) a 3-month subscription to Marvel Unlimited comics, and free magazine samplers. However, the free swag isn't limited to the Samsung app store -- you can download the movie 'Gravity' for free via the Google Play store and the Kindle for Samsung app gives free book samples every month.

The free stuff you get will vary by region. Samsung offers apps to help your Galaxy devices work together. Screenshot by Xiomara Blanco/CNET The Tab S offers a fingerprint scanner for unlocking your device, as well as paying with PayPal and X. It's easy to setup and I preferred it as a way to unlock the screen -- the added level of security is useful, but it also reduces the smudges caused by swiping to unlock the screen. Thanks to the IR blaster on the top edge, the Galaxy Tab S also works as a remote control. The WatchOn app makes the setup easy -- I was able to connect to my TV and Blu-ray player in a few minutes -- and personalized viewing suggestions based on your location and cable provider are great for those 'there's nothing on TV' kind of nights. The fingerprint scanner consistently worked accurately.
