Any help?

Same problem here. I even created a thread for it already recently (it's in the first page of this forum too).

Everyone out there let me know if you fix your tab and ill do the same if i fix mine..btw im sure my tab bootloader was locked since when i checked the firmware before flashing it said something like KA

My problem is actually a bit worse. Well, maybe. I'm stuck in the, "phone ! pc" loop. For other phones, you can just remove the battery, and then press the three buttons, but for the tab, since the battery can't be removed, I have no idea how to fix it.
You can try this, though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
Here's another thread that may help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071

1. Go to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm and download the firmware for your device. (you must register first)
2 download the flashing guide and make sure you follow all the steps (without the part to remove the battery) http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/P1000 Flashguide.pdf

i have the solution on your problem igot that phone and pc icon...
all u have to do is flash the file
*open odin then connect your tab
*click repartition
*click pit then select the file u downloaded
*then click start then that's it just wait for it to pass then it'll now boot
the phone ! pc icon is also download mode so u wont have to do the download mode just connect it to you computer and make sure odin detects your tab
hope it will work for you sorry for the bad instruction

Tried your solution didnt work

Mine didn't work with Odin too. It worked with Heimdall instead.
1. First, I downloaded ROTO JMI from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360
2. Press the power + volume down button. It'll still have the phone ! PC icon, but it will already trigger itself to go to download mode.
3. Unzip and then extract the tar from the ROTO JMI.
4. Using heimdall, put everything inside the extracted file to its appropriate filed. You won't need the moveend.
5. Flash. Do NOT remove your tab.
6. It'll auto-reboot

Very busy at the moment, really appreciate your help will try your solution later and post results

Tried your method, still stuck on samsung logo, not working...someone please help!!

If you are certain you have tried all the methods listed above, with both hiemdall and odin, than it is amazing that it is still boot looped ...
If you have repartioned and tried a samfirmware rom, than I'm at a loss

When you unzip a compressed file, you will see a number of files inside like cahce, factory data, etc. Just put them in the corresponding field in Heimdall. As for the zImage file, put it under the image field.
Edit: @andrew - mine was in the logo for like 5 minutes. Even up to now it still takes around the same time to boot.

galaxy tab sgh-t849 I need professional help

I just got this tab and like every other android i get I rooted it. I used superoneclick -- worked fine. then downloaded cwm and flashed the recovery. of course when i went into recovery it was 3e so i couldnt actually use cwr without the bypass fix. Anyway -- i used some recovery fix -- which i think was for a vibrant -- wasn't thinking. Once it rebooted into recovery it showed some yellow letters then went blank. The computer still recognizes it but the tab won't boot. i can reset it by turning it off and on but it only shows tmobile splash and the yellow letters scrolling in recovery then goes blank again. please help. i've been reading everything but no one seems to have had this problem.
thank you very much

Put it in a blender, jk, send it back to samsung.

is that really my best option??
i figured there would be some manual way to reflash the recovery or maybe complete firmware with a recovery built in. it will still go into download mode -- like i said the computer still recognizes it but I just don't know where to start. ive never used odin and not a pro at adb/sdk but i can usually follow directions pretty well. i've rooted g1's, mytouch 3g fenders slides, inspires, atrix, vibrant, captivates so i'm not giving up yet. i know someone is willing to help.

from the off position, when you press and hold volume down then a moment later without letting up from volume down also hold power button until lights turn on, what does it do?

download all below zips, and unzip them
run it usb driver. say yes to everything. plug in tab to computer in download mode. let it install tab drivers
unplug tab.
open odin
Watch the first box on the left. ID:COM
plug in tab to comp in download mode.
That box should light up yellow, that means your tab in connected and ready to go.
place unzipped stock rom in PDA.
Press Start.
When done it should say all threads completed, and your tab should restart on its own.
Let it boot, and welcome back to stock Tmobile
uploads are taking a bit, be patient.
Do you want stock 2.2, or 2.3?

yes -- it goes into download mode
sounds promising -- thank you -- i will keep you updated on the progress.
prefer 2.2 where it was.
thanks so much

REMOVED!!!!!
here is dropbox of everything you need. It is a stock firmware, no root.
once we get you back up and running, we will go from there.
please let me know the moment you have downloaded this zip, as it sucks my bandwidth.

beautiful --- just flashed with odin and went through with no problems. once back up i re-ran the root and unlock. now i'm gonna wait to flash cwr until i'm good and sure i know what i'm doing. btw -- i flashed a new kernel with recovery before the full restore and that didn't help. i'm not positive but i guess thats how you get clockwork rec to work.?
thanks so much.

can someone help me with the same issue. I am getting no boot on this tablet. I have tried the volume button and power with no luck. Can someone send me a link for the stock sprint restore.

Which did you go with? 2.2 or 2.3.3?
Let me know what your tab currently says in settings, about device.
Hold down the back arrow, and while still holding a second later, press you powerbutton. Let go.
Shoulda taken a screen shot. Uoload it here or just write it down.
I can guide you from there.

Instal.
Plug in tab.

If so, your okay so far. If not and it has a yellow, still good.

That diagram you had is the same thing as the download mode. So treat it as such and flash your rom and kernel normally and it should work. I had the same problem before. To be sure, tried the following thread. Go to the 3rd post in this thread and follow the installation instruction. It will work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382055

I get that every now and then too. I reinstall the drivers (included with Kies), and reboot the computer. After that it will work.

Froyo to Gingerbread -- Please be extra careful when flashing

Does ODIN still recognize your Tab? If you are upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, you may need to load new PIT file as well as new dbdata.rfs.
If ODIN still recognize your Tab, try to download your choice of firmware again with PIT file included. I'll attach a working PIT for you.
Note: Please extract the attached file to get the .PIT file and put it on PIT field on ODIN along with your choice of firmware you are flashing.
Once you are done and reboot, mostlikely you'll be in a boot-loop stuck at SAMSUNG screen. Now reboot to download mode again, then flash the DBDATA.rfs.tar I attached on the following post in PDA field on ODIN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23348040&postcount=121

i dont have the icon

wakak make sure you got the proper Samsung driver installed!

Thanks

Well first you are going to have to achieve either recovery or download mode.
Recovery: hold volume up + home and the hold power until the first screen pops up. Keep holding for about half a second. Which longer than instant lol
Download: same as above but volume down.
If you get to recovery try a wiping cache and dalvik. Then try boot up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wipe/factory reset from recovery.
If that doesn't work then either download a stock firmware by Ramad on the general forum or go sammobile.com or type in darky in Google and go to his website and navigate to full releases. From there click on the latest for your phone sgs i9000. Scroll down to instructions and look for the link for 10.2 re or something similar. Its the Odin flashable rom. Alternatively just look for a from you like and flash it. If you have recovery you may be able to use CWM flash able zips otherwise you will need Odin flash able files from the places above.
Darky rom will retain root and is a custom from so it'll be easier to move to another custom from if you flash that.
That cover everything

Hi Talon26,
I have tried the 3 button recovery and download and nothing nada ??
I dont know which stock firmware to go for a while ago i had same problem as im having now and could not get a decent download for stock firmware any pointers in the right direction ??

can you get a Jig from a friend?
it can get you into download mod without button combination..
here is some video that might help to understand how to make one, it has instructions on the info.

Yes you can use a jig that would be easiest and best for the future in-case you run into this again...
However i don't understand why download or recovery is not working if you are already on custom, you have achieved it before right? If not use a video to help.
However if the standard methods do not work then there are sill some tricks..
1. Take out the battery>>>Hold the button combo>>>Insert battery whilst holding combo>>>When the boot screen appears (Samsung GT-I9000) hold for about half a second/whole second then release>>>Wait. If it continues to boot loop again then take out battery
2. From task manager close all Kies apps/processes>>>Put your usb cable in>>>plug in your phone>>>hold the combo>>>Wait.
3.Take out battery>>>Do all of 2>>>When the USB is connected to phone whilst holding the combo insert battery>>>Wait.
4. Repeat 3 with charger instead of the USB cable
If none of that works then yes i think you will need to make or buy the jig. (Or borrow if you can). But also do a search as im not sure if i covered all the tricks. There used to be a thread on it in the general section, try search for it.

Sammoblie.com, [Ramad] Stock Firmware or Darky 10.2RE
Sammobile.com is straight forward. Click on smartphone, then android etc. Just follow the clicks then you select the FW that is relevant to you based on country and provider... If use the Ramad link then you will need your csc code which will be retrievable from the sammobile site its at the bottom.
Good luck

1. Ultimate ROM is it ICS? if yes install samsung drivers.exe from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
2. Download stock ROM for your phone from samfirmware.com or alternatively you can use Darky's ROM
3. you will need Odin to flash the ROM it is included with Darky's ROM as is a read me file with instructions.
4. Start Odin make sure no kies processes are running if installed. If they are running Kill the processes
5. Boot phone to download mode using jig. Remove jig from phone. Plug USB cable into phone. wait for odin to detect phone then flash.
NOTE you may have to Flash once with re-partition ticked and then once without to get the rom completely booted.
Once running it is suggested to perform factory reset

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"
you should then be left with a selection of firmwares for your handset/region
download the suitable version

From what you describe I will assume that your computer is running windows 7. This being the case the file downloaded needs to be extracted so that you are left with 1 file called JVG_JV5_JV4
You say that you are now left with file called JVG_JV5_JV4. Have you downloaded a PIT file? If not find 512 PIT at the bottom of this post.
Once PIT file is downloaded extract file.
Select PIT and add pit file
Select PDA and then select the file extracted JVG_JV5_JV4
Then flash.
As stated before you may have to flash with repartition selected once and then once with out.
This should get you going again.

when you are saying that it is doing nothing is odin flash failing ??
Flash completing and then phone not booting??
If the stock ROM is not working try Darky's 10.2 as it will generally work when other methods fail.

Mate , I can not thank you enough i tried again after i last put message on here and all done i now have 2.3.6 and as far as i am concerned all ok now. I did have to get into recovery mode after i used Odin for mob to start up and just did a system rebbot or should i say factory rebbot. All ok now and alot of songs i had were all still on memory card ok had to re install apps i had before but hey ho.

UART : N/A, USB : N/A
Also, the phone will not go in recovery mode anymore, only on download mode.
I tried flashing a stock firmware with Odin, but no change. The thing is, after the phone restarts, it loses any settings i made (like wireless password, google account, etc), so if i check USB in debugging mode, after restart it will be unchecked again, so for that reason i'm not sure if the reflashing worked.
In download mode it says:
custom binary download: no
current binary:Samsung official
system status: official
At the bottom of the page: HW REV: 0x5
As far as I understand after reading the forum for about 8 hours, i've lost the partitioning of the device.
If any of you has any idea what i could do, please advise.

there are a few threads on how to fix your problem
some more reading involved

refer to the threads on loading stock ROM using ODIN
those will provide you with the information to repair the phone in it's current state
you will then be able to fix the partition

Ok. So I tried numerous times to upload the stock software but absolutely nothing happens, even if ODIN says that the upload was successful. As soon as the phone restarts, it loses any settings i had done, including USB debugging mode, so maybe this is why it doesn't work. I tried selecting a CSC, but after restart it's still:''none''.
The thing is that wireless is working, so i can connect to internet, but i cannot download and install anything (no space). I will try and download an emulator via PC and put it on a memory card.

Of course, it won't read my memory card :|

all settings are ok, so flash it via Odin
AND start Odin as Admin dude

I even tried with a pit file and re-partition checked. No result.

Just flashed again with Odin started as admin. No change.

i had similar problems a few months ago. So what did i do:
download the " i8190_buttonenable_cwm6.0.2.7.tar " from HERE (see attached files) and flash it via Odin (as admin)
download This rom "I8190 серв. укр.rar" from the same side and follow the instructions.
you will get a branded lafleur rom (russian), set it to your language at setup.
put any rom as zip you like on your device.
reboot into recovery with vol. up + home + power
fullwipe and flash any rom (as zip) you want.

Just tried that, it didn't work. It's like i didn't do anything at all.
I just can't write anything on this thing
Anyway, thank you very much, guys. Any more ideas are welcome :

Was i supposed to have F. reset time checked as well?

actually given the fact that he has lost the partition those setting are not enough in my opinion
i would say load up the pit file as well as enable re-partition

I did load the pit file and enabled the re-partition. It just doesn't change anything.
This last week it was taken back to the place i bought it from (pawn shop ), and of course, they all say (the experts they took it to) that i did something to it, and it can't be fixed, and of course it's my fault.All i did was to reset it.
Anyway, I'm still hoping to get it fixed myself, with your help, guys.
Thanks.

You still got that FactoryApp popup on screen?
Are you rooted?
Can you enter recovery? If so, what recovery do you have?
