[Q] Help me: Phone seems not to have OS

I've had my phone for about a week now.
I had I9000XXJP2- version on it. i aslo had super user and one click lag fix. Everything was working fine untill this morning. The phone froze and attempted to restart. as it did it was stuck on the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen and would not boot past that. I am able to get into recovery mode. and a mode that says upload by pressing with the android man next to it.
The phone also will not shut off unless the battery is taken out.
Can anyone help me get back into my phone.
I think some how it deleted its OS.
Thanks in advance.
Also: when in Odin and trying to put in the firmware I9000XXJP2-REV03-PDA-CL464213.tar says that file analysis failed.
As well as when i go to reformat internal sd-card the following comes up
Formatting SDCARD
ensure_root_path_unmounted++
ensure_root_path_unmounted (/mnt/internal_sd)
ensure_root_path_unmounted ret 0
ensure_root_path_unmounted It's not mounted
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(no such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdate_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

Do you have a Bell I9000M Galaxy S Vibrant by chance?
Either way, You have the infamous internal SD failure issue. Your best bet at this point is to flash back to stock and send the phone in for repair/replacement.
If it is indeed the Bell phone. Check out this thread.

Yes I do have that model :|
Can you please guide me to how I can get my hands on the stock firmware and the steps in order to flash back.
So this way I can send it in for repair or hopefully a replacement.

You can get UGJH2 from http://samfirmware.com. You can then flash it with odin and a 512 pit file. Which is also located at the mentioned site.

Just to make sure, I just use odin and put it in all three sections
[] PDA
[] PHONE
[] CSC
and I already have the 512 pit file.

PDA = CODE
Phone = Modem

Some of them have all three in one tar file. If you open up the tar file you should see all of them in there. I believe the UGJH2 has all three in one file. Just load it in the PDA section and leave the CSC and modem blank and flash.

thank you very much as this makes more sense to me. I was used to having all three.
So i wanted to update who ever has been watching this thread. I went back to that rom and now i can get past that galaxy screen and i got the animated S but now its just a black screen.
So all i can do now is send it in for repairs and or hopefully a replacement

What Bell did for me was just give me a new phone. I returned it within the 30 days. I had to wait two weeks for new stock to come in but they just gave me the new phone.

Seriously ? They didnt say that you were playing with the firmware or anything.
Im scared they might say that and then voids me getting it replaced or repaired.
But its good news to know that you got a new one.
And in the mean time did you get a loner phone from bell as you waited for yours to come in ?
Thanks for all the support and help.

I had my old Galaxy i5700 to use, but they will give you a loner phone. Do you have the SPC or whatever they call it? The insurance basically.
I just made up some BS about downloading a large movie to my phone and then it crashed. At they rate all the I9000M users are going with bricking their phones, Bell probably assumes it's a phone problem anyway haha.
The process was actually very simple for me, hope it is for you too. Good luck.

I went in today, told me i needed to talk to tech support.
Talked to tech support
and now i have with me a brand new galaxy s
This time i will not be playing around with it as, i do not want to go through that hassle once again.
I appericate all the help from this forum. and I will look back in here once again in the near future.
I will hold off on updating till froyo is officially released.
Thanks again. This community has been one of a kind.

Keep reading the thread. There is chinese firmware that will get your phone back to working condition so it can be flashed again with kies. Your bootloader has been overwritten and the only way to fix that, as far as I know, is to bring it to Samsung for after service.

[Q] Bricked NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab

Ok here goes... This is my first thread post here but I am in serious need of help.
I have searched and searched the forums for a hopeful answer but I have found it difficult to find the answer I seek.
So here is the story:
Bought a GT second hand from Akihabara in Japan which was locked to NTT DoCoMo. I was using it as a WIFI only Tab and all was wonderful till my IT brain decided it could be better and I began to tinker.
I had been looking around for a way to make my Australian Virgin Mobile SIM to work on the tab and found a lot of good answers but nothing that would make it work.
I then had the brilliant idea to change the firmware with a European firmware so I could get all the features enabled from a fresh start. Which is where it all went wrong.
I first tried to flash the tab using Odin 1.7 with the P1000XXJK5 euro firmware from samfirmware.com
This failed and left my tab with the picture of a phone and a pc with a dotted line and in between them an exclamation point in a triangle.
After a lot of fiddling (I dont remember what I did but I managed to get rid of that screen had something to do with retrying the flash and it was very late last night at this point) I managed to try again but Odin just kept failing on running the updated firmware.
I then decided that it would be a good idea to run the Rotohammer firmware by following the instructions on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827&highlight=sc-01c
This is where I once again received errors from Odin and now my tab is somewhat bricked.
I tried reflashing but same errors every time. (I currently dont have the errors from Odin but I will update my post when I get home)
I can still get to the downloading screen (Yellow triangle with the Android digging) so I am hopeful all is not lost.
So now you have heard my sob story I will ask two questions....
1. Has anyone actually successfully flashed a Japanese model Tab?
2. My only thought/hope at the moment can anyone direct me to an original NTT DoCoMo firmware so I can at least go back to having WIFI only Tab?
Thanks in advance if you can help
Alex

Yes , i suggest you to wait until you get a right firmware for it !
That would probably work if the partitions are a match !
What is this model called btw ?
"NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab" or there is any model ? such as M180 for korean , P1000 , P100 Sprint , I800 Verizon , etc..

I am searching the an original NTT DoCoMo firmware.

Oz the model is SC-01C it has a build date of 2010/12
I was thinking considering I can get into the build/download screen maybe trying an emergency firmware recovery using Kies.

Hi,
I'm a fellow SC01 owner. You can get a backup of the stock firmware here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OJAK2UZF
Firmware code is SC01COMJK2
I believe there are newer firmwares (which I haven't installed as some of them contain a new bootloader that only allows for signed firmwares, same as the international units) that I have seen mentioned on various Japanese blogs. Let me know if you want me to try to hunt any down for you.
As for my SC01, I installed the custom kernel by koxudaxi and it's working great. Mind you, I've only changed to this kernel and apart from that am running the stock OS. I got his kernel here which can overclock to 1.4GHz: http://koxudaxi.sakura.ne.jp/
The kernel I installed via Heindall is zImage_ntt_2. It looks like he's built a newer version though, I might check that out. I think what you might want to do, is in download mode try to restore the above backup to your unit. Look up the Roto Backup thread to see how to do this. Hopefully since you can get download mode, all is not lost. I personally think it's quite crummy that there are different hardware versions like this which aren't interchangeable though >_<

I'm going to give the original firmware a go today at lunch time and I will let you know how I go. Thanks anyways for the link if all goes well I'll look at possibly trying the the koxudaxi kernel.
UPDATE: Well I'm not having luck getting the firmware to flash to my tab I keep getting "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" when trying to flash. I will keep plugging away.
UPDATE: Still getting the same problems using heimdall to flash the tab. Any suggestions as to what I could do next?

Recovering a Docomo Tab
I'm currently running Overcome v1.1.3 ROM and richardtrip's V15 kernel on my SC-01C.

You're getting this error from Heimdall, right? Have you tried Odin 1.7?
Here's how I recovered my Tab using Odin:
1. Following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827, specify the P1_add_hidden.pit in the PIT button and select Re-Partition.
2. Specify the stock Docomo ROM when pressing the PDA button.
3. Ignore the Phone and CSC buttons, as the stock ROM already contain these items.
You should be able to restore your Tab to stock settings using this procedure.
If this doesn't work, you might want to check if the USB connection to your PC is ok, and if everything necessary to run Odin is installed on your PC.

Bugger!
Well thanks for your help all of you but I think I have just made matters worse.
Last night I had success in flashing the original docomo firmware provided to me by zetsurin but I think I shouldn't have included the boot images.
Unfortunately I think it is completely bricked now it now wont turn on and when plugged into power (thinking that the battery had died) it just comes up with a white screen.
I can't boot into download mode and I can hold down the power button till I turn blue in the face... So as Bones would say "It's dead Jim"
Unless any of you have anything else I could try as a last ditch shot I might just have to ship it back to Japan and get them to fix it or maybe try Samsung here in Oz.
Serves me right
Thanks again.

The SC01COMJK2 firmware does not contain protected bootloaders, by the way.

I've heard about this happening when the battery runs out. Try connecting the Tab to your PC (not your AC adapter) and let it trickle-charge for an hour or so. If successful, you should see the download screen.

fury1sog unfortunately that didnt work
spoke to the samsung repairers here in Aus and they said they can take a look at it for me hopefully bring life back into my unit and then I will never touch it again

Any thoughts?
Hopefully this post is still being looked at but has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do before I fork out $374 to my tab repaired by Samsung Australia?
According to the repair guys its a faulty board (not an idiot that tried to flash it) and needs to be replaced. Not sure if this is worth my trouble considering I could buy a brand new tab for $599.
There is a positive out of this, the MB will be an Australian MB and I will have a working "Australian" tab instead of the Japanese version.
Considering the unfortunate tragedy in Japan I am not sure I should try and get my friend in Japan to fix it for me.
Thoughts anyone?

I know someone who can unlock it, I have mine unlocked by them.
I was afraid of flashing it myself so I paid to have it unlocked, cost was $20.
I think you better go for the MB replacement, it's cheaper.

For what it's worth, I went to reset my tab to factory using a rotohammer backup I made when I first bought it, and got stuck in a boot loop. So I then used ODIN. Still got a boot loop. Then I tried ODIN repartition... it hung for hours. Knowing the thing was likely bricked I pulled the plug and now I am in the situation as you: I have a crappy icon of a phone + an exclamation + computer image. Dead.
I think the best thing I can do for this junk is to toss it unceremoniously in the bin. Fortunately I also have an iPad which has resumed full-time service.
EDIT: Some signs of hope in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903257
Try "heimdall close-pc-screen" to see if your tab can get kicked back into the boot loop at least. Mine has failed a repartition, but I can still get it into the boot loop, which is a start. Will experiment over the weekend.
EDIT 2: Well my tab is back up and runing. I reflashed my original roto backup using ODIN with repartition on, then I went into recovery and did a factory restore. Back up like stock now. I think I'm going to sell it though, since it's been badly dis-owned by Samsung.

What ROM is best for a SC-01C?
Hi Guys
I picked up a 2nd hand SC-01C from Yahoo Auction, and am wondering what the best ROM to use with it is...
Looks like this guy has got an Overcome ROM on it OK, (http://chaki-ramone.blogspot.com/2011/06/galaxytabsc-01cgingerbreadromovercome.html), so I wonder if the latest version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990) will work OK - anyone tried? (is the SC-01C a GSM-based model??)
I'm not going to use a SIM with it, so I'm not bothered about unlocking - but just want it rooted & want a good balance between speed & battery life. If you were going from scratch with an SC-01C, what would you do? Any suggestions greatfully received!
Thanks in advance?
PS - I'm an iPhone / iPad / Ideos 8150 / Notion Ink Adam owner, all jailbroken / rooted. So I'm not scared about rooting per-se, just worried about trying something that will not work because of anything docomo has done to the Tab!

Acont you could be coma bricked try pluginging it into THE MAINS for at least 4 hours if nothing come up your hard bricked.

[Q] Firmware need for Tablet bought from a trip in Saudi Arabia

Hi all,
I bought the P1000 galaxy tab back from Saudi Arabia when I was visiting there for business. After coming back home I wanted to flash a European firmware on to it.
Unfortunately following this attempt, the tablet just displays a battery charging symbol with no actual progress and does not go into download mode.
As the device was built to be sold in the Middle East, can you advise on what firmware should be used to reflash this device? All firmware I've tried from samsfirmwares.com has not worked and all have failed to boot. The best I could get was the Samsun Galaxy TAb logo during startup and that's it, it hung there. Now it's even worse, just displaying the battery symbol and nothing happens.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Try These instructions with Rotohammer JMIv2 firmware:
IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure
Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
Check repartition box
Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
After this, the Tab will reboot normally.

Thanks DarkPal, appreciate the quick response. I'll give this a try and update this thread. In the meantime, can you let me know where I can get the rotohammer firmware? I'll definitely search for it but if there is a known good location I'd appreciate it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360 Here you Go. Hope you boot successfully. Don't use Samfirmware ROMs they have locked bootloaders.

Unfortunately I have the same Galaxy Tab logo and Samsung on the bottom. It just stays there. I've lost trust that this tablet will revive. Do you have any further ideas?
I tried
1. PIT + RePartition + Start + PDA ROM + Start --- Result same
2. PIT + PDA + RePartition + Start --- Result same

Just do one step at a time.
1. Get into download. Connect to pc. See the yellow box in odin. Pit file and check repartition, flash. Disconnect from pc.
2. Reboot into download. Connect to pc. Rom in pda, no check for repartition. Flash. Reboot into normal mode. If ok start, go back and flash your modem.

Captain, thanks for the steps. I've tried exactly word by word what you've sent earlier. Same thing happens.

There is a way to get into download mode, where you do something like squeeze the battery screen while holding power and volume down, but I'm not sure of the exact steps. Also one method involves the usb cable.
Can someone get us those alternate methods to get into download mode?
Is this stuff in the stickies for development?

I have the exact same scenario as this but have yet to change the Rom as I'm not sure what benefit there actually is?
Custom roms aside, will my Tab actually be any better with a Euro rom on it as it can currently do everything I think it's supposed to.
Will I loose or gain anything?

I've already got full phone capability using a UK sim (the unit is unlocked).

It won't. But you said you hadn't flashed the euro rom, which normally is done to gain phone capability.
Your phone had already been rom-modified by someone, because phone capability isn't a stock feature for any carrier.

Many have this problem please help!

After upgrading the firmware successfully according to odin our P1010 wifi-only galaxy tabs are stuck in an infinite reboot sequence that happens so quickly that we cannot use our galaxy tabs for anything. Right before it reboots we are all getting:
"Process android.process.media stopped unexpectedly. Try again"
This occurs immediately after the upgrade when you are doing the initial setup of the device. It is rebooting about every 15-30 seconds.
Please help us. We can still download using odin but we do not have the stock firmware. Someone out there help please. We are all going absolutely bonkers insane. Thx.

Dont mean to be rude but i just read that whole thread and it has absolutely nothing to do with the problem we are having. not once in that thread is mentioned any problems after upgrading firmware. in fact the thread seems to be about the P1000 with only a small bit about the P1010 which is unrelated to our problem.
Does anyone else have a solution or anything helpful?

sorry for not explaining. I thought you might want to use/flash the particular p1010 firmware discussed in that thread instead of what you have right now so as to eliminate/erase your error/problem.
I don't have a p1010 so I cannot verify. Next time I will not respond anymore to avoid misunderstanding.

no, i just gave up. my tab has been sitting on my desk for like 3 months unused. i guess i'll try recharging it if i can find it buried under the pile of papers and giving it another attempt at finding a solution.
not going to hold my breath tho... since it appears to be impossible to find the official united states p1010 firmware or whatever u guys call it.

sorry, didn't mean to offend you. i am just so utterly miserable about this device. i was so excited to get it, then i read about updating to fix some speed issues and increase battery life so i followed the guide and so i have only been able to use my device a total of about 1 day in about 5 months. very frustrating.
also, i am deathly afraid of "just trying" to flash anything as i dont want to make my device even worse than it already is.
i'll tell u one thing, i will never ever ever ever buy another samsung product again. they so very clearly dont give a rat's a** about the suffering of their customers. it doesn't matter if we did this to ourselves, they should still help. it is a stupid software fix that costs them nothing. do they think if they dont help us we will break down and buy a second one? i dont f'ing think so.

I had the same problem once.
Maybe the files are not matching like .PIT with Modem or bootloader thats why it keeps on restarting.
You should reinstall .PIT file then install accurate PDA , CSC and MODEM files for your own region.

Yea, this is the problem. Cant get United States region files. That is the whole issue.

SOLVED !!!
if you are having the infinite reboot problem on your US galaxy tab gt-p1010 do this:
1. download this rom (it is the hong kong rom)
http://www.multiupload.com/KJO2KALU2O
password: nomoreuncheckedfirmwares
2. put your tab in download mode by holding down the volume down button first then press and hold the power button.
3. start odin3 version 1.7, plug your tab into your pc.
4. verify you have the yellow in the ID:COM area in odin then select the pit file, the csc file and the pda file (the only file remaining) and hit start.
5. wait patiently while it downloads everything and reboots.
note that it will start up in chinese or japanese (not sure which, guessing chinese). also note that i am using windows xp, probably works in 32-bit windows 7 but may have problems with 64-bit windows 7. not sure cause i have not tried it. seems that i read that though.
good luck !!!
thanks to stsights for the solution and waqypaqy for uploading the file to a more accessible site!!! you guys make me more happy than u can possibly know...

NO NO NO!!! This is what got the problem started in the first place. do NOT install european firmware on a US galaxy tab P1010. That will land u in infinite reboot hell. just dont do it.
