Plugged into laptop but since the bootloop never ends I cannot "power it off".
Unplugging it stops the loop as it has no power. Soon as I plug it into anything the bootloop continues.
Tried pushing/holding power and volume up 100 different ways and nothing works. Haven't seen any post where the device just bootloops and cannot be turned off. Tried charging it all night long (bootloop all night long)
30days old and I am out of country traveling. Am I out of luck trying to fix it on my own?
If you have tried all methods online to fix the boot loop and still have no luck in getting it resolved, then I would recommend you seek to get a professional repair service to look at it. https://www.ubreakifix.com/samsung
Yea ... as a last resort I will take it for repair but as I am traveling its the absolute worst timing to get a bricked tablet... and I think it is quite amazing that this exact issue is no where to be found online.
Yes, i agree it's bad timing for you! But with your tablet being only 30 days old, you will want to do the warranty process sooner than later. Samsung devices typically come with a standard warranty period, which lasts for one year from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and malfunctions that occur under normal use. also the place where you bought the tablet may have a separate warranty for it. You may be able to get it replaced! Good luck!
My last experience with an inescapable boot loop was the result of a defective motherboard. Because the device was in warranty, I was able to send the device off to a Samsung repair center (ubreakifix was able to diagnose, but it had to be mailed to complete the specific repair), have it repaired, and have it back in hand within a week, all totally free of charge.
