Another "bricked my Galaxy Tab" thread :( - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people,
I have just got a Galaxy Tab just for kicks. It's a P1000L brazilian one.
I want to unbrand it (it's Claro branded, the operator took out Gmail and Gtalk, also assigned search to Yahoo instead of Google), so I have talked to a friend which also has a Galaxy Tab, same model, but unbranded, all Google apps inside.
My FW is (or was ) P1000LVJJJ4, and his FW is P1000LVJJM9, so I went to this thread at TheGalaxyTabForum, downloaded the P1000LVJJM9 FW, PIT file and ODIN 1.3.
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/112-samsung-galaxy-tab-firmware-list/
I have read about the process and started doing it. Here's what happened.
I haven't checked the partition option, just put the PIT file and the FW file in the correct fields, put my Tab in download mode, clicked start... and after some time, almost at the end, ODIN failed. My Tab got stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. I got it disconnected from the USB cable, than put it again. Restarted the process, but ODIN got stuck in setup connection.
I took my Tab off the usb cable again, it was still stuck in download mode, yellow triangle. Pressed the power button for a while, it has turned off completely. Now it's bricked, maybe dead. No life signal, nothing happens when I press any button or button combination, nothing is shown when connected to the charger or USB, not recognized in KIES and ODIN, nothing at all.
Is there any hope for me? What can I do to solve this?

same problem here any help plz ?

Generally its a brick when it can't be recognized in Odin or Heimdall... This is because you can't flash anymore.... Best bet is to try a warranty repair....
Good luck...

so... anyone help me please?

Samsung Galaxy Tab not turn on after an update ...

Hello, I tried to install a firmware page samfirmware.com my samsung galaxy EUR tab is P1000. installed with odin and all was fine but now the tab does not turn.
Can someone help me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
Can you get into download mode? hold volume down and power.
the screen does not turn but odin detects tab
Thanks.
Connect your usb to the power socket. If battery icon appears then there is hope. It seems like a display problem for me. If it doesnt your display might have issues. Try reflashing with odin and see. Also noob question did you flash with correct firmware for your device. If it still doesnt turn on it might be a hardware issue than a software one.
No battery icon appears. But if I connect to the laptop the odin detects the Tab. I put the wrong firmware.
Thanks.

If odin still able to detects it, then there is hope. But this procedure will wipe your tab clean, even internal sdcard!
Now, go to here and get Roto JMI FULL ROM + P1_add_hidden.pit.
Once you've done it, put your tab into download mode by:
1. Turn off your tab without plugging it into anything;
2. Press and hold Power + Vol down till your tab is on;
3. When you see android shoving picture, it's in download mode.
Plug your tab to your pc, launch odin. If it shows up, put P1_add_hidden.pit in PIT field, Roto-JMI-Full-v2 in PDA field. Check "Re-Partition" & "Auto Reboot". And let it flash. Your tab should be able to boot up now, with root installed, and future updates will not need to go through kies.
REMEMBER: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FIRMWARE FROM SAMFIRMWARE.COM AS THEY CONTAINS LOCKED BOOTLOADER! Once you get above procedure done and able to boot up, then report back, still have things to be done
The installation went well but the tab still does not connect. The screen remains dark.
Thanks.

Dark as in you still able to see anything on the screen or it wouldn't even turn on? Cause for tab, if battery power reach 10% or lower it will remain dim(as in without backlight, but screen is still on.
The screen does not turn. It was so because a wrong firmware installed. But odin recognizes the tab. Is there any possible solution?
Thanks and sorry my bad english

Start up sound working as well? I thought after repartition and flashing new firmware should make things back to life. The tab never accidentally dropped before right?
Not to sound. the tab never fell. became so after a firmware update with wrong.
Thank you.

Without screen, I can't really help much now. If even charging through wallplug without showing battery icon, I believe your screen is basically defective, perhaps you needs to send back to samsung for a screen replacement since it's still new
i had the same problem before and i panicked. but all i have to do was to
1-flash Roto-JMI-Full-v2 with ODIN (No PIT and No Repartition)
you will get no touch screen after doing this
2-flash the stock ROM with ODIN (with PIT and Repartition checked) again and it will work
Where can I get the stock ROM download from?
Stuck with the same problem. So downloading the Roto-JMI-Full-v2 image. But not sure where to get the stock ROM from.
For me,
I am able to get the battery on the screen when I connect the usb.
I am able to get into the downloading screen by pressing the power + vol down.
Odin detects.
Odin gives me a "Pass" when I flash with Roto-JMI-Full-v2.
But after that I still cannot get in. The Screen is stuck on the Galaxy Tab with samsung logo at the bottom.
Any help would be great since I cannot do anything with the Tab right now.

Galaxy Tab Flashing Prb

Hello everyone,
I recently tried to put the latest Overcome Rom using Odin on my Galaxy Tab after rooting. But I guess I forgot to patch the bootloader (Stupid, I know). The flashing failed (I think it was because of the bootloader). Now when I turned off the tab to exit the download mode, it was showing a phone and a pc with a yellow exclamation mark in between. That's fine as I am still in the download mode I guess. I tried to re-do the flashing but nothing worked.
But now, the Tab has gone completely dead. I want to flash the Roto JME V2. But the tab only shows the yellow exclamation when I plug it on the wall charger. Then it stays like that. Whenever I take the charger off, it goes totally blank. Not even shows the yellow exclamation anymore. I have tried to switch it on with all the button combination possible. Volume up/ down everything. But it's just bricked.
Hemidall or Odin, nothing detects it. After I keep the usb plugged into the pc for about 10 minutes, the exclamation screen suddenly comes up. But still Odin doesn't add it. Hemidall does. But after flashing the screen is stuck in the Samsung text.
ANy suggestions to get my tab up running again?
so after u bring it back to life u still can go through download mode right .
but the problem is with odin , here is what u have to try , go grab any of ur friends laptop or pc , install the kies for the drivers , then install odin , then plug your usb and check it , probably its odin problem or something , its happen sometimes ...

[Q] Soft Bricked Galaxy tab screen blinking

Hello, I own a galaxy tab 7" latin american version for a couple months, everything was running good, stock rom/rooted.
2 weeks ago it stopped reading any sim card, I tried to fix that problem by going back to unrooted with superoneclick, and I ended up fudging everything instead.
The problem is:
Im stuck at the "(Phone)....!...(PC)" screen, and it's blinking, I've already downloaded ODIN tool and Heimdall's Oneclick Unbrick tool.
This is the screen I'm getting
Which none of those I've succeded unbricking the tab.
Please help me, what can I do?
Please help!
Try using odin, to flash this rom
P1000N: http://www.multiupload.com/EUZS7V21L6.
P1000L: http://www.multiupload.com/SZZZFK8GMO
PIT file: http://www.multiupload.com/ZL9HDOGI5V
Repartition checked.
After flashing the correct rom enter to download mode again and flash this http://www.multiupload.com/E0CQPPZCMN in odin without pit file and repartition unchecked, do a wipe cache and dalvik. then restart to system.
I softbricked my tab some couple times and this metod always works for me. (P1000N)
Thanks for the stock rom Rafa, the thing is, ODIN doesnt recognize the tab, when I plug it to the wall charger, it turns on the brick screen, and it is blinking.
Thats the part that really worries me, the blinking part...
When I plug again the tab to the computer, it doesnt turn on the same screen

I've once had my tab was showing a error triangle with connection problem from tab to pc -so i've thought "rigth just gonna flash it like i've done so many times".
When i've connected the tab to my pc odin didn't recognise it either. Though i've just selected my pit tar and so on and flashed it anyway, that little blue bar showed up on the tablets screen, and then it was flashing.
Try see if you're able to pull of the same.
Cheers, jakk212

Hello,

thank you i had the same problem with my tab from claro el salvador and now is working!
anyone else has any input on this?
1-Does Windows detect the tab?, check in hardware manager, see if listed.
2-try flashing using Odin or heimdall, make sure you use the correct version of Odin , I use the 1.7 and I don't have problems.
3-if Odin detect it do the steps above.

s3 mini does not turn on!!

Hello
I have a mini S3 and went to install CyanogenMod on it but the ODIN stopped in the middle of the installation, causing the Android stay corrupted and whenever I called this message appeared: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again "
So I downloaded the original S3 mini according to my country and everything and I install ROM, well, the installation took place correctly but leave it stuck in boot start screen showing the phone model, then I install the ROM again but the ODIN stopped again and there came the problem ...
it does not turn on the power switch and the only way to 'make it light up the screen' is connecting the USB, but when I plug the cable it gets on and off the screen repeatedly at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again " until I remove the cable and the phone turns off completely.
I hope you guys understand my problem and can help me please.
Already grateful : )! (sorry my english)
Try another computer or another cable. If it is stuck at boot screen, do a wipe/factory reset in recovery menu
Can't power on and enter on recovery menu

I can't do wipe/factory reset in the recovery menu because i can't power on at all. It keeps only blinks (on and off) all the time when its plugged on PC or charger.
Thanks very much for your support!
Did you see the s3 mini logo if you turn on the phone. If you see this works download mode then? if not then your phone is bricked....
When you try and turn the phone on does it display the phone name? Or does nothing happen? If you get nothing then I'm afraid it's bricked. I'd try a different computer, different lead and possibly a different windows os. Then try and flash a stock rom using odin and be 100% sure it's for the model of the phone you have as there's loads of variants of the s3. Other than that, I can't help you any further
Hi everyone,

Odin Flash Failed And Phone is Dead!

Hello,
I have this N7000 which was stuck in a bootloop, I attempted to revive it using Odin. So, I downloaded the files below :
1. The firmware - https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B7ZIHy3JPraRRjlMSmRyS2lqVzA
2. Odin - http://www.mediafire.com/download/7v7zor9d379emeg/AndroidJinn.Com.Odin307.zip
I opened up Odin, Clicked on PDA and I started flashing, however, it get stuck on "nand write start" and after a few minutes it shows an error "FAILED". I unplugged the cable (the phone was still turned on) and pulled out the battery. After that the phone is completely dead AFAIK, it cannot go into recovery nor download mode anymore, it doesn't even show a sign of usb cable or charger being plugged in, and computer doesn't detect it either.
I have no idea how it came to this, I have flashed tons of samsung phones before so I don't think I made a mistake on the process and this is the first time I encounter this kind of brick. If anyone can help me, I'd more than glad to try out your suggestions. Thank you.
maybe your phone is N7000B
