I tried to flash my sprint galaxy tab with the firmware that allows you to make phone calls... now i realize that was not for sprint. is there anyway to get back to how i was before with 3g? i was able to load Zypher but that doesnt give me my 3g back. Please help!
Ever figure it out? I bricked mine too :'(
Find and flash an ODIN package that contains the original firmware plus the modem.bin for the radio. PM me if you need any further assistance.
do you guys have the sprint pit and rom?
I tried to do euro flash and get errors in recovery mode about not being able to mount e?
Bricked Sprint Tab!!!
Hey guys I'm a newbie myself but with a little bit of reading I was able to fix the bricked issue. Follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869819 and the Sprint Stock Rom is here. One is with a modem and one is without. For those who are wanting to get back the 3g as it says in the link it uses the 4g epic dump. It looks like your out of luck. Because once you dump this modem there is no going back it's for good. So your better off sticking with the WiFi for now till one day a sprint modem is dumped. I'm also learning myself and also in the process in flashing this via Odin3. I to have bricked my tab lastnight just doing a factory reset. I was using the VooDoo with full CMW ! So just follow the instructions very carefully and you should get your tab working again.

Didn't someone get JME Rom working on CDMA Sprint Tabs? By changing the build name around?
I cant find the post, but who ever it is, please give us more details. How'd you do it? Do you recommend it? How is it holding up? Does it brick anything (GPS, MODEM?)
Thank you!
I did it to my Sprint Galaxy Tab, original post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929898)
I had to remove movinand.mst and it flashed fine using Odin, I just followed the directions there.
HOWEVER, the way I did it will make the Tab WIFI Only with no known way to get back until someone can figure out how to dump the sprint stock modem.bin.
That is fine with me as I did not want the 3G, but did want the Bluetooth HID. (now my Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard work)
You might be able to pull the modem.bin file out as well as movinand.mst but I have no idea what that would do, sounds very risky.
M.
did that brick your GPS though?
I use it as WIFI Only as well.
How does the JME run on the tab?
Can you upload the exact JME rom you updated for us CDMA users who are kind of new at this? That is if you still have the version you edited for the Sprint?
If there's one thing I learned with flashing ****.... as long as you don't **** with the radio you can't really mess it up. With that said, don't flash a new modem (radio)
exactly then, cant we just have all these ROMs take out the Modem.bin, wouldn't it be flashable to CDMA then? or no
Yes it borked the GPS as I flashed with the modem file to get rid of sprint, works fine so far and I can use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard now, had to reinstall all apps though.
I just Flashed Roto's JMG last night, will see how that goes.
I used the ROM from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763 and took out movinand with 7zip.
I assume you could take out the modem file as well or try the update version.
I would put in a request to Rotohammer to make one for the CDMA tabs without modem and movinand to be safe.
No idea if flashing without the modem file will fry the CDMA modem as I cant test this do to no one being able to get the stock Sprint modem dumped yet.
M.
I have no experience in doing this so I was curious on just how someone would go about dumping the stock Sprint Modem? also would we be able to use the epic 4G's modem since it's similar? or would that not work due to the epic having 4G and being a different device? If I knew what direction to go I'd certainly be interested in getting in to this more.
Now if someone can just confirm how to flash without killing the modem, we'll be cooking with gas!

I know that file name is floating around as a flashable "almost stock" ROM that has the Epic 4G modem inserted, so you can recover your sprint tab but lose gps. I would get someone who has already borked their gps by flashing to test it and see if it fixes it before everyone goes flashing this ROM.
If I was doing a restore using the files posted I would not flash the modem.bin. That's what breaks the Tab, not the software.

Keep trying to get it into download mode, down volume and power depressed together.
so heres what i did, i got a stock captivate, used odin to flash rom to galaxy i 9000 and its really buggy. i wish to flash back to stock rom and update to froyo then unlock it so i can use it on t-mobile. when i say really buggy i mean i cant get anything but G network maybe E if im in the middle of portland or salem, but always have full receptoin. now can anyone help me fix this so i can use it with t-mobile? if not then i would like to flash it to another rom but, it wont go into download mode since i dont have a home button to use. should i get a jig and do all that other stuff ive got to do or is there another way? can anyone point me into the right directoin. either post they know of or from experience. i would greatly appreciate it ive spent a few days searching and havent found much info thats helped.
Oh wow... First of all, flashing a i9000 ROM is really NOT GOOD. i9000 ROMs are for the i9000 phones, not the i897 (Captivate). As far as unlocking goes, I hope you haven't screwed up your IMEI (and such) data on your phone somehow while flashing different ROMs onto your phone. Unlocking can be done on both 2.1 and 2.2, but you will need the unlocking codes from AT&T themselves (easiest way).
For the download mode, if you can't get into the download mode via ADB... I would definitely try a USB Jig. Try the alternate key combos to try and get into download mode as well.
Owch. This is what happens when you don't read before you do things.
Hopefully you can get yourself into Download Mode so you can flash via Odin back to the stock ROM.
you do realize that by unlocking it and putting it on TMobile you will not get ANY 3g?

well i was fallowing advice from an idiot and a few other idiots who backed the info and was happy with what it had done with their phone. little did i know till a little bit ago is that it was for germany not usa. ok so i need to do some research on adb. now since i want to use this phone for t-mobile and do get into download mode should i flash to captivate stock then update to froyo then unlock or just flash to vibrant? im not going to be using this phone for calls or internet browsing unless on wifi and using skype. its only going to be used for texting and games and video and pics and all the other wonderful options this phone has. t-mobile has a pre paid texting only plan thats only $15 a month. and everywhere i go has free wifi, if not ive got my own way of getting wifi if ive got my laptop for ad-hoc with braodband card.
do i need to change anything with the phone if i just plan on using t-mobile???? cause it is considered a global phone or whatever and not locked cause it shows i have t-mobile or att or sprint network to choose from as before the flash it only showed att. or should i just fix this one and flash it all back to stock and sell it to buy a new used phone lol
thank you for your help and advice/ its greatly appreciated
just flash back to stock 2.1...unlock it and u can flash any awesome rom.most save your imei and nvdata...i was on darky 8,1 and used t mobile, even used all carriers in india
to get to dl mode use adb or jig....never flash i9000 roms directly, if u want, u can flash i9000 based custom roms we have in dev section..
Good Day,
Let me start by saying that I had tried to post this under a thread in the development section, but was denied as I am a new member.
I require some advice regarding a bricked Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The unit will not boot or enter download mode, only the navigation icons at the base of the device light up and turn off when holding the power button for a short period of time. My PC chimes as though it can see the device, yet does not show up in "my computer".
Odin sees the device, but hangs during flash attempts at "SetupConnection".
After reading the thread regarding unbricking your Galaxy Tab, I was unable to determine the nature of this particular "bricking".
The device entered this state after I had attempted to flash the device with the new Gingerbread update which downloaded from SamFirmware.com. This was not my first flash on this device, as I had the new version of the Overcome ROM installed, and was attempting to bring the device back to stock firmware for my region.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Put the tab to the wall socket and charge it for a few hours. Shutdown your pc and unplug it. Once the tab has charged. Connect to the PC and attempt to flash a decent stock firmware like overcome's stock safe. Good luck.

Thank you for the quick reply,
I have had the tab charging via the wall charger for some time now. Will there be an indication as to when it would be advisable to try the flash ie: the device's current boot behavior will change...
And your instruction to shut down my PC and unplug it, unplug the PC?
Can you give me any indication as to what has happened here? For future knowledge... and will my inability to reach download mode restrict my success rate on resurrecting my BRAND NEW TAB ... LOL!!
Thank You DarkPal
Well your bootloaders arent screwed up as the tab is showing signs of life and is detectable in ODIN. Unless in a faaar fetched case of another hardware failure your tab firmware is corrupted. I asked you to unplug the PC to reset the USB host controllers (recommended in case there is a connectivity issue with usb).
Try to put the tab in download mode again after its been sufficiently charged and connect to pc then flash a decent stock firmware like overcome's stock safe.
Did the trick,
Thank you for this. Overcomes stock safe installed and running.
I do have an unrelated question when it comes to modem choice, and noticed that you authored the modem list in the dev section for these devices.
I am having some issue getting 3G connection, and cannot pinpoint if this is a firmware issue or modem issue.
I am in Canada on the Fido network, running GT-P1000
Can you suggest a modem?
Depends on what bands your network supports. I dont reside in Canada so I wouldnt know maybe someone else using fido can help? In most general terms the JPZ modem works for most GSM networks give it a shot first. If fido is an 850 band network consider JJ3 modem.
Thank you
I am very happy to post that I have resolved my issue regarding the lack of connectivity in my region.
It was in fact a modem issue.
I found the solution on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273
I followed the instructions on that thread to test the modem under the ROM prescribed there... it worked on all available bands in my region, and proceeded to use just the modem along with the overcome ROM, and again success.
I am attaching the modem for any other Canadian Fido users encountering this problem. Hope it I can pay it forward.
Thank you again for all you help.
Great support structure here at XDA!!
I had the same problem with only the navigation buttons flashing but i could still get it to connect as a composite device for heimdall after flashing stock safe I can get back to recovery but I get errors nd failures when I try to wipe data/cache its a Verizon grab seven inch black if that matters I got the files from stock safe all but a recovery file and I used my own modem and tried again with one of the stock safe modems is the modem my problem? When I reboot device I go into a boot loop where it says Samsung and it used to say Verizon instead can u help me please?
Which stock safe you are talking about.
I hope not GB stock safe v5 from overcome site. That is a gsm rom, not for cdma.

Yes..... i did.......um can u post a download link to the one I need plz? Like I said before I'm using a regular American Verizon version
Edit: OK I found a heimdall one click method that restored it but it restored it to a 2.2 I was on 2.3.5 and all this started trying to get to 4.0.3 so can I get ice or do I need to stay with gingerbread and if so how do I upgrade back to it if my tab is unlocked?
OK so I found a one click heimdall that restored it to a rooted unlocked 2.2 it was a 2.3.5 but this all started trying to get it to a 4.0.3 any suggestions on doing that?

I recently picked up a Galaxy Tab from VZW and rooted flashed it with Sprint Software by accident. I read many posts on here mentioning a modem file not being available for the i800. Is there any way to get my modem working again? Ive flashed back to stock. Tried using several different versions but i have had no luck getting the modem to work. it was to the point where it wasn't even finding the modem and I had a circle with a slash in it.
I flashed a Sprint modem in order to get some sort of modem support on the device and 3 g poped up the first time and here and there it shows up. A stock GB from vzw still didn't help switch the modem.
Any suggestions im running out of ideas and i keep coming to alot of dead links since the device is otw out? I appreciate it.
Hi All
I was playing around with custom roms on my phone and stupidly managed to brick the phone.
I accidentally clicked the option repartition in ODIN when flashing a ROM...... I think this is how I bricked it.
I want to get it back to the official Optus 2.3.6 I9000XWJW6_I9000OPSJV6_OPS, I downloaded this official ROM from here (SamMobile)
If I try to install the above rom the phone just gets stuck on the start-up screen. (I notice errors in the phones recovery when trying to install the official firmware)
Or if anyone can get me back to a working phone with working firmware that would be awesome.
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks!
Found the solution!
This worked, thank god.
