Hi everyone,
by flashing neldars BLN 3.0 (Gingerbread) via his SGS kernel flasher there has gone something wrong. somehow my phone couldnt boot anymore and my CWM recovery turned back into the stock 3e. I would try to flash the stock-rom via odin but my battery has only 10%. Then i tryed to charge it at first before flashing something but when i put the battery back into the phone and plug in the charger, theres an icon with a phone and a PC connected to each other and in the center of them is an exclamation mark. So I decided to get the battery off the phone.
What can I do?
Last working ROM: Simply Honey 3.3 (Gingerbread) @ CF-Root Kernel
Need jig look on ebay i had same icons on screen and jig sorted it out or could make your own its well posted on here

the deadlink icon usually shows when you are using a usb cable as charge, how about try using the wall charger for charge. if the battery is already good. when you put in the battery, the deadlink won't show just yet, but if it does just press the download mode buttons even if it shows just holding it for like 15 seconds (enough time for the system to boot download mode) and flash thru odin using a CF kernel.

I bricked my phone a while back (SGS I9000 2.1) using firmware from samfirmware. It would get to the galaxy S startup screen then reboot (Stuck in that loop). i still had the 3BC at this point.
Being new to flashing using odin i downloaded Odin3 One-Click Downloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989) after i applied the fix i realised i do not have this phone. The phone was bricked couldnt get 3BC no conectivity with adb on my pc, the phone was stuck on an AT&T screen and im in the UK.
I built the Jig with the 301K resistor to get into download mode and it worked first time. After doing alot of research on how to flash the I9000 i flashed a random 2.1 firmware and it booted again.
The problem i have is i cannot enter recovery/download mode and when the phone boots it looks like artifacts pop up for a second then it boots to galaxy s screen (green and purple line across the screen, sometimes looks like a tv screen with no channels black and white fuzzy).
Also when the phone is off and i try charging nothing appears on the screen and it dosent turn on with the charger plugged in. Then as soon as i remove the charger it automaticlly turns on. I think this is causing the last issue, when my phone runs out of battery it dies completly and wont turn back on, somtimes if im lucky i can charge it for about 1 Hour, remove the charger and it will automaticlly turn on and quickly plug the charger back in when it boots its got 1% battery. so i dont think my phone charges when off.
I have tyied applying the 3BC fix for the I9000 but no luck it just bricked my phone had to use the Jig again to recover.
If anyone knows how to fix this annoying problem Please help me!!!
I am running Darky's ROM 9.3 Beta 3 with Voodoo 1.3b oc uv kernel 1280MHz
so the jig is working ???
Try to flash an old firmware, something like eclair with all 3 files and pit, then use pit and re-partition in odin and if that works, try to calibrate the battery.. if you have any luck then upgrade to something newer, maybe thru samfirmware.com or officially thru kies.
i hope you get it fixed
ps. have you tried another battery to make sure your current one isnt faulty ??
Thanks will try it now. I think the battery is fine I get an avarage of 24hr usage set CPU min 100 Max 1280.

Hi all.
First of all, my problem is i can't install any fimware on the galaxy tab using odin 1.7 and 1.3. I believe this is caused by already locked bootloaders. To make the matter worse, the battery is run out of juice and i can't put it in download mode whenever i unplugged it from the charger. Now i leave it with galaxt tab loading screen and plug the charger in hope it can be charged this way.
So my question is :
1) how to properly charge the tab in this state? Do i did a right method or should i turn it off again and charge it with the screen showing battery icon? (but the charging animation is not working, just static battery icon which make me wonder the battery is charged or not)
2) i can't put it in download mode and connect to pc but i still can access recovery mode while the tab are plugged to the charger. Can i reflash it by using the 'update from zip file' option? And if it possible where can i get the right update.zip file?
Thanks in advance.

Turn off the tab and let it charge for couple of hours. And try again the download mode again.
If you can go to download mode, try flashing Gingerbread 2.3.3. Look at it in the Dev. section and make sure you follow the instructions.
Good luck

basically i messed up the bootloaders now it does this (bear with me)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkFsZK79XYQ
it only does this when plugged into the wall and it will not do anything if plugged into usb port on the pc, my guess now is the battery is so flat that it wont do a thing any more! i almost got it to run via odin on the pc but the battery drained so bad that it wont respond, i have left it plugged in for at least 6 hours with then just the same response just on and off on and off.
can i take the battery out and charge it via a separate charger to get some life into it to then flash the stock rom via odin?
any ideas would be great! i don't mind taking it apart but don't want to if i'm going to fry the battery i have all sorts of wall chargers, can i join the + and - from the wall charger to the correct wires on the battery for it to charge? i have a multimeter to test the batteries voltage. any suggestions?
[UPDATE 1 ] flashed overcome stock rom then pc wont connect to odin even in recovery mode, :recovery is stock: :rom is stock: from the overcome website, cant flash any rom via odin as it wotn connect, error message usb device not recognised' how to fix this issue? maybe update.zip via sdcard within stock recovery? which rom and for gt-p1000 united kingdom. i tried to reinstall samsung kies for the correct driver but still the same issue, cannot connect after flashing. i have been following this guide http://p1000.teamovercome.net/?page_id=64 any help with connection would be great or flashing via recovery, almost unbricked but not quite.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet
Hello, I don't think that you have a dead battery. I think your rom has a defect cause your Tab would like to boot. Is it possible to go to recovery or to the download mode? Try to flash something. Does your Tab start this screen flash automaticly by plug on a PC od starts this only if you try to turn it on?
PS: It is possible to remove the battery but it is a little difficult. My suggestion: don't touch the Battery
will not go to download mode or recovery. no response when pushing power power button, all i get is the flashing screen with pc and mobile phone connection.
i left tab connected to the pc for one hour, the tab came on with the pc-phone connection image, i flashed overcome rom via odin with repartition which completed but when it went to reboot it has stayed turned off and wont come on at all even when pressing the power button, no download mode and no recovery, i will wait again for it to come on and try the stock rom, not sure if i've got the correct bootloaders or not.
any ideas?
Have you tried leaving it on the ac outlet? or car charger?
ok slight update. . .
i left it plugged into the pc after it passed the odin flash it then BOOTED i was like WWWAAAAAAHHHHOOOOO bouncing on my chair and feeling very happy indeed the battery is totally dead but is now charging in the wall switched off to get some life back into the battery im so pleased
next steps is to get the overcome rom to flash!

i tried for 6 hours to plug it directly into the wall but nothing worked.
Exact same thing happened to me on the Sprint Tab. Called Samsung and sent the unit in. They sent me a brand new unit the next week.
when plugged into my pc now i get an error message, ' usb device has not been recognised' im thinking its the drivers but not sure where to get them, i have searched.
i have updated the 1st post with more information on this issue.
Your tab was showing a secondary bootloader so if you mess up your primary bootloader with the bootloader patch it'll still be recoverable and as for getting overcome I would recommend upgrading to gingerbread which doesn't have protected bootloaders and flash kratos or Jupiter which are faster than the froyo based overcome rims ;-)

the only issue im having now is the fact that the pc wont recognise the android phone when in download mode.
the only message i get on the screen is 'usb device not recognised' i am then unable to flash a different rom or a stock rom via odin being gingerbread or froyo. thats why im asking if there is an update.zip file that i can flash from the recovery to make the usb mode work as it wont even work with debugging mode on or off and wont show via samsung kies or odin when the tab is booted.
my connection problem was due to a faulty usb cable, all is fixed now and i have overcome kratos.installed and running sweet

Try to install Keis mini for the latest drivers. I had connection issues after flashing the leaked 2.3.4, and installing keis mini fixed it. Reboot your computer after the driver installation, and it should connect the phone fine. Also, what rom were you running before flashing? This may be a stupid question, but are you sure you were using the correct key combo for download mode?
As mentioned re-install with the latest drivers. You can get the LATEST Samsung drivers plus Odin 1.85 from my downloads page here:
http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=1095
Don't worry about them being in the SGS II section they work for all Samsung Galaxy S devices and are the latest ones.
Used one that came from Link. It gives file as SGH-I897_ATT_I897UCKH3_I897ATTKH3_I897UCKH3_I897UCKH3. Used oden 3 V1.83 to phone. I somehow got the phone to download mode and re-installed 2.3.3 and rooted with this post How to Root Captivate 2.3.3 Gingerbread with I897UCKF1 AutoRoot DesignGears.tar found here http://www.techpetals.com/how-to-ro...-with-i897uckf1-autoroot-designgears.tar-3624. This worked fine then I tried to get 2.3.4 to load AGAIN and found it was not rooted and use same procedure to root which it did. Now it keeps rebooting. Phone freezes then reboot to main screen. I have gotten the charge to work in off position my rebooting PC and leaving it pluged in by USB and trying top get to DOWN Load screen but will not work. Tried I900 procedure and this puts it in to recovery mode
I have reloaded 64 bit drivers again. USB plug on HP DV7 Laptop with I5 Intel chip is showing phone with No battery installed trying to connect but drive USB not recognized warning. Have tried to re-boot phone but keeps going to AT&T log screen or I can get to Recovery mode no download mode
You have to get it into download mode again, to flash the stock KH3 kernel! Can be found in dev section. If you can get into recovery flash biffmod and then to stock with odin one click

biffmod is not in recovery mode. A list can be seen and not there
You have to download it on ur computer, then in recovery mount usb to computer and transfer it, then flash it

i managed to make it jvu.. then went to make it jw4
now i can't even enter download mode.. screen stopped working or wtf..
Take out the battery for 1min.
Try removing the battery and then try the 3 button combo to enter download mode. I thing Odin failed because when you tried to install F4 it changed partitions and when you wanted to downgrade to jw4 you did not repartition with 512 pit.
When you enter download mode remember to install the 3 file stock rom with 512 pit and repartition checked.
After installing the stock rom before proceeding with jellybean remember to backup your efs folder ( you can search xda dev how to do that)
I strongly recommend going with Cyanogenmod 10 stable. Its very fast and with the latest semaphore kernel runs like a beast.

I think Odin crashed my phone
because i changed 3-4 custom roms in some hours..
i saw some threads about how to put it back in recovery mode but nothing..

I think your battery died in the middle of the flashing process. When you charge the battery does it show the battery indicator charging ?

nothing at all..
Then basically your battery died in the middle of flashing process, you can try with another full battery and try to enter download mode by using the 3 button combo. If it does not it means you have to use a USB jig to access download mode. Once you access download mode remember to have a fully charged battery before flashing

so when the battery dies in the middle of flashing... i can't charge it?
Possibly not, you have to try with a fully charged battery before flashing anyway. I think if you touch the phone while on power and the battery is warm maybe is charging. If there is no sign of life or there is no heat at all maybe is not charging. You still have to try to enter download mode with a fully charged battery, keep trying.

You have to try the dowload mode using an USB jig.

You can't broke this mode by flashing your phone, if an USB Jig don't work, you really have an hardware problem.
my pc makes sounds when i connect the phone.. then the sound that it got dc'ed
i don't think i will find a jig here.. nor i can make one.
i will give it to samsung service center and pay them..
