Hi guys.
I kinda mad a big mistake. I have a galaxy tab p1000 and mistakenly flashed a firmware which belongs to p1010. Yeah silly!!!!!! The flash was successful but it totally killed the tab. It will not boot at all no power whatsoever. I left it in the charger for like two hours nothing
is there hope?? Or did that firmware do damage to the tab?? Can i repair it myself or does it need to go to be revived at samsung. Or i hung myself???
Help please.
Have you tried booting into download mode? Once you do, flash it back to stock. You can find stock ware in the dev section. Doubt its truly bricked.

Just curious...
If you just bricked your tab, why does your Signature show that you're using a GT-P1000 to post?
Well i am lucky to have 2 tabs and galaxy s. Imma a samsung fanboy/man. And it pains me to know i might have bricked one tab. If u will be so kind n give me a solution??

Thinking that your battery has been ran out.
Just left it to charge for 4-5 hours and try again.
Bricking the device isn't such easy. I made unbelieveble things with my tabs but got it to work again. But I also stucked to that battery thing.
Did you flash the bootloader as well? If you did and the bootloader goes out to lunch, then the Oden/Heimdall tools won't be of much use. In such a case you might be able to find some instruction on how to use a JTAG module to fix the tab. Though, taking the device apart is probably not a trivial thing.
I flashed the tab with firmware from the p1010 tab and mines p1000. So im assuming it erased everything. How much can a service repair cost??Cause if there is no option apart from jtag. I have to to send it in!!!!!
As i cant get any response whatsoever. Left it overnight charging, plugged it into the comp restarting stuff. Tried tricking it by plugging galaxy s and tab at the same time. But nothing.?????
So about a week ago I tried to flash the alpha honeycomb rom. Played around with it a bit, but since Im in India I need my Tab to make calls via wifi back to the states, so I restored back to just before the flash. Then I saw there was a new build of Koush's kernal so I flashed that. About 3 days ago I started getting a weird wifi modem error and I would have to reboot to get wifi back. I just thought at first it was because the internet at my hotel isnt exactly amazing, and maybe i was building up a cache somehow? Honestly didnt really have a clue, but I didnt really care. Last night it got strange tho, I suddenly only had .90 mb of internal storage. I couldnt do anything because i had 0 space. So I deleted a few apps as fast as I could and used titanium to move everything else to the SD. I rebooted into cwm and wiped the cache, dalvik cahce, and even factory reset to no avail. then I downloaded the newest Koush rom thinking that if I just flashed another rom Id be fine because it would repartition and start fresh. Apparently not so much. I just bootlooped at the Verizon screen somehow. So again, thinking i knew what I was doing, tried to restore. Nooooothing again. Then I had to go to work so I got a buddys laptop and rebooted into download mode, installed heimdall on the pc and proceeded to try to flash the stock files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955342&highlight=vzw ... thought all would be well, but I got an error saying descriptor not found. So i reinstalled the driver thinking that was the error I got. Tried again and got an error -12. So i unplugged to see if I could do aaannnything in cwm... and my screen did this... has anyone seen this or know how screwed I am?? Im in Mumbai for 12 more days and I think Ive had the tab for about 2.5-3 months so far... kinda screwed huh?
Don't worry!

If u using GSM tab, I think I can help
Your case seem the stock rom u mentioned is not a full set rom with modem and phone, try to unzip the rom,is there dbdata.rfs? the icon only mean software brick which will back to life easily.
sadly im using cdma
Dude calm down. Thats an alternative download mode. Find a cdma stock firmware that you had search around for it. follow the guide of reflashing and you should be up and running again
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
This is the one that worked for me. Good luck!
So why have you posted in this forum?
The "non forum mod" mod strikes again... In his usual manner.
Sent from my "better than an iPad" tab.
so I made an attempt to flash the stock files. Hiemdall said it worked, but the progress bar on the tab never went past about halfway, overnight. Now it wont show that download screen unless its plugged into a power source and it turns itself off randomly then immediately turns back on into the download screen and does that process repeatedly. If I plug into the pc it is unresponsive and then turns off after a few min WTF did I dooooo?!?!

If you plug into a power source, without trying to turn your Tab on, do you get a battery icon?
Sounds like your battery is dead, in which case, if you can get it to charge you may yet be able to reflash...
Try letting it charge for at least a few hours and then take another crack at flashing.

Because im sick of seeing non-dev posts in the dev section. Its irritating to see and baffling how anybody could not have enough common sense to realise that posting stuff like this in here is wrong, We have a Q&A and Gen forum for that.
Because there doesn't seem to be any active Tab mods here to move/move, the only way make the users who make the posts in here aware is to tell them. If they are not made aware they will post their next topic here.
If nobody else is prepared to make them aware and to try and cut the crap down, I will, and don't care what you think.
when i had the origional error that you had it was because i tried flashing a kernel via heimdell on a virtual machine. i had the same screen, when i got to work the next day with a laptop that was windows i just booted into download mode and flashed a working kernel and it booted right up.

I agree that the forums need clearing. But you ploughing into every single misplaced thread isn't going to help.
You do realise you can tell the op that this isn't the right forum AND help them and point them in the right direction. Doesn't sound too hard right? Maybe try it sometime.

And I do!
The point is that the help/advice had already been given on this one but nobody made the Op aware that he/she had posted in wrong place so would have likely done same again next time.
If nobody tells them how will they know? (apart from the obvious, ie reading forum titles.)

I posted here because in other forums the general is mostly for those who have not rooted, and also have not flashed. In most cases people that know what theyre doing tend to only frequent the Dev sections, between that and the fact that all of my issues came from posts in the Dev section I thought this would be the correct place for it. apparently I am wrong, and sooo thankful that someone as heroic as yourself has stepped up to do away useless threads since we obviously have a space limit in our forum. wouldnt want to bog down our servers with my useless post of course...
regardless of the flaming and trolling... im still screwed, my post isnt moving and i will continue to ask those that know for help. thanks for the advice though, ill take it into consideration for my next post... now run along...
I have charged for about 9 hours now and still nothing could i have fried it somehow? If I bring it to verizon in the state its in, is there anyway for them to tell i flashed it? or will they just assume i did since it is pretty much in a state of brickiness as far as i can tell...
TIA and thanks to those whos British bigotry hasnt stood in the way of reading my post and attempting to lend a hand... where i come from the main purpose of a forum is to ask those who know for help and share the knowledge weve attained...
and im not getting a battery icon when i plug in, just the flashing on and off of the alternate download screen
thanks again
Ok to put this at rest coz its getting irritating. You are active old users. And you believe that tab needs more forum modding. I dunno what are the rules but when applying for a mod positions open apply or root for a candidate like yourself or nautious or bytork or anyone.
As for op does your tab get identified by your computer in odin or heimdell? As i said thats an alternate download mode. If computer identifies it. You can get a shot at flashing. Do it via a windows computer please. If tab is fried beyond repair which i doubt verizon will never know you flashed unless you tell them of course
sadly as of now the tab isnt read by the comp and i cant keep it in the download mode unless its plugged in

Could you have forgotten to replace the protected bootloaders?
You should have given it a full charge before you tweaked your tab.
Anyway, try to give it a full charge plugged into the wall, then try again.
So you didn't even give it a first boot? Should have at least done that and checked for protected bootloaders...
without more detail... Yeah... As ranger said, you didn't even give it a full charge?

Edited for swypos
i mean perhaps it was 90 percent charged
and yes i had it already booted into froyo. I mean the first one wasn't protected so i guess i jumped the gun. But i don't think the boot loader was the issue.
knew i shouldn't have put the screen protector on.. always curses me.. hehe
I did two post to revise my title to get a better answer on how to correct next time.

I bricked my device and i was quite upset... Why i reposted smart guy was to redo the title so that someone would verify my steps were correct.
You havent shown me anything yet that answers my questions. Sending me to a Q & A post didn't help anything. I read that **** before i even even bought the phone. I don't need you to tell me the differences between bricks..
the **** charged all night last night and i let it run all the way down before hoping it would discharge. I had just flashed my other one that had a bad pixel the night before and i had no issues. I did the same steps as before.
i find it funny you guys are more worried about where i posted then the actual issue.
If you want to talk about a waste.. you have wasted space with your nonsense all day replying to this thread with no useful information.
This is my 6 android device and first one i even bricked so spare me. I followed the steps exactly just like i did the day before with no issues. Your so cool sending me to the Q & A because i posted twice.
All I said is that I got confused by your title. That's it. I didn't come here to troll or say that you shouldn't post here or there or anything like that.

Lets keep it civil and help this guy get his tab fixed eh folks......
to the OP .. can you tell me what tab you have , your firmware ? ? old stock rom you have ? lets go serious now
I went to tmobile and got my old one back.
I returned the bricked one and got back the one with 1 dead pixel. I already had it good to go with 2.3.3 so im going to leave it alone for now.
It would be nice if i could still understand why it happend.
it came with froyo
tmobile sgh-t849 2.2
i flashed the GB_Stock_Safe_v3.tar which is 2.3.3. It just said failed with no other information. At this point i would be weary of using odin on my desktop.
iv used odin alot in the past and never really had any issues
is your tab can call ? sorry for my dumb question .. your tab is GSM P1000 ?
@OP can you be more fast to reply . its 4:33am here .. so be fast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The OP has already told us TWICE that his device is a Tmobile SGH-T849 meaning that it is NOT an SGT-P1000
yeah Mokhattab , i know , thats why i wanna just show him what he did ...
though his tab can't get the Gingerbread right , either the Stock safe from yours ...

I beg to differ
@OP
There is no reason why you can't flash Overcome
Having a TMO SGH-T849 is certainly no brickable offence in terms of using Overcome
While the problem may no longer exist, it's definitely worth investigating to know why you had problems (also to get you over your newly acquired fear of Odin )
Is there the slightest possibility the cable was nudged or such?
You seem to be comfortable using ODIN and your setup must be OK if you've flashed your current Tab before so I'm thinking it might have been a freak accident of some sort
I trying loading using Odin but it got stuck at "Setting up connection"
I then restarted PC and did it again and this time it went 2 more steps and then the screen became completely GREEN
Then I did the whole exercise again and now the screen became PINK
Now I am not even able to get into DOWNLOAD MODE...and neither do I see [mobile]![PC] icons.
Nothing happens. Is my phone now really bricked?
Please help! I am now worried about this
If the phone shows signs of life then its not bricked.
Also please don't create multiple threads on the same problem. It just clutters the forums even more.
I think I do not see any signs. It does not show anything on the screen even after trying download mode or recover mode. Powering on the phone also does nothing. I even kept the phone on charging the whole night but during the charging I did not see the usual green battery animation.
Is there anything left? Looks like I literally destroyed my working phone running 2.2. just by trying to upgrade it to 2.3 through Kies and then later using Odin.
I am very disappointed that how poor Samsung support is that a mere upgrade attempt destroys the phone. I had bought this phone 18 months ago by paying 540 $ and I now see it go down the drain
You can attempt contacting samsung if it was messed up with Kies but doubt they would do anything. But Kies is crap anyways. You can how ever attempt (or pay someone) to apply Unbrickable Mod (Adam Outler or MobileTechVideos.com)
there is one last thing you can try.
start odin on pc
take battery out of phone
put battery in
hold both volume buttons
plug USB cord in from pc to phone
if odin box turns yellow press start to flash a firmware!
it very rarely happens that you can do this but if you can, congratulations.
What odin u using ?

I contacted Adam and he has agreed to offer his expert services. Now the problem is that I am in India and I can ship it to US but it will cost me dearly when he ships back because of the Indian custom rules. They will tread my repaired phone as a new one and add 15% duty costing me more than original phone cost.
So I am thinking of sending it through my friend who is visiting US later this month. However, I was looking around and found this link.

What you should know is Jtaging requires you to solder 6 very small spots vs UBM is 2 spots (I believe) and UBM will make your phone umbrickable. You could find a tech near you live that's good with a solder gun? Adam has a thread explaining the method.

I, was doing a backup, while, in cwm recovery mode, and I happened to fall asleep in the middle of the backup. I, woke up an hr or so later, only to discover my phone completely turned off and wouldn't turn back on! I, had a full battery. I, have tried on numerous occassions to leave the battery out for several hrs and replace it, but still nothing! I've used different chargers and still nothing. Not, even a light blinks! The only thing, I haven't tried is replacing the battery. The phone is only 3-4mo old, so I didn't think it would be the battery. I've never seen this happen before! The ROM, didn't even get installed! I've searched high and low about my problem, and haven't come across not 1 solution! Could, this just be a case of a bad battery, or of a bigger issue?? I'm still under waranty but of course already being rooted, and having no way to get into my phone to unroot, I've voided that! PLEASE, if anyone can help with some support I'd GRATELY appreciate it!

Yes, I did notice it wasn't the correct rom for my device afterwards But I never got the chance to install the rom. It was on my sd card but never updated. I was in the middle of backing up my phone, on a full battery before it just went dead! I'm going to try a new battery and see if that was the problem. I hope so! Thank you for your advice!
