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 ...

Hi.
Basically , I Know NOTHING about all this 'flashing' roms and what not. I got this phone from a friend , and was aware that it had custom firmware or something on it. Due to the phone being severly slow , and constantly displaying errors along the lines of "the process com.android has stopped working" when I was trying to call or text somebody , I thought i'd have a play about with some settings in recovery mode thinking this was the way to restore back to custom out of the shop firmware (stupid i know). All I remember doing was clicking through a few menu's in the green text recovery mode screens and clicking "disable lagfix". I then got some form of error at the bottom , and the phone froze. I took out the battery , tried to re-boot it and it's getting no further than the very first screen with the "Galaxy S Samsung" etc etc.
I know this probably sounds stupid to some of you phone wizards on here , but i'd appreciate any help you could give in the simplest terms for somebody who has no clue about this whatsoever. If I was able to fix this , how would I also go about completely making the phone like it was brand new? No custom firmwares or Roms or anything along those lines?
Thanks very much in advance!
Ben.
well, if it kud b that the problem is caused coz u disabled lagfix. you could try re-enabling it and see whether you can get the phone to boot. to do that:
> shut-down the phone completely,
> hold down the VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER buttons simultaneously till the phone powers up and then let go,
> hopefully this will get you beyond the "galaxy S" screen and into recovery mode,
> from recovery mode re-enable the lagfix that you disabled earlier, then re-start the phone and see if it boots properly,
> if it does, shut-down the phone again, come back to recovery mode (as above) and perform a hard re-set (the options should be something like wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode) and restart phone - the general slowness and the errors u were getting were most probably from the apps that were installed in the phone. so, if u get rid of em all n re-install only the ones u r going to need, then this wus solve the issue,
Hope this helps,
Cheers,
HI thanks for your reply.
Im able to get into download and recovery mode. I though enabling the lagfix again would work , however , there is no option to enable it. Just to disable it again as though I never did it in the first place. Ive also tried wiping all cache's and factory restoring the phone , but it's still not going past the Samsung Galaxy S screen.
Any ideas?
how long are you letting it boot up for before switching it back off ? i have a few apps no more than 35. it takes the phone 10-15 mins to boot after disabling lagfix..
if your phone had lots more apps and music pics ... whatever. it could take even longer to convert all files back to rfs.. dont suppose you know what ROM is / was on the phone ?? do you / did you hear a robot voice when the phone boots ??
I've left it for hours. Still no luck getting past that screen. What can I do?
I have no idea what Rom it was , and there was no robot voice.

Via ODin go back to base rom .

Oh wow , lengthy process!
Will try it all and report back to here to let you know how it goes.
Thanks!
Having a problem when I connect the phone to PC in download mode. Odin says "added" when the phone is on the Galaxy S screen , however if i then switch to download mode it says "removed" and wont detect the phone. Same if I have the phone in download mode before connecting.
Bumping for advice.

have you done a full factory reset in recovery mode ?? its strange whats happening to you. as if the phone can get into download mode then theoretically Odin should see the phone...
if you can get into recovery mode use every option to wipe the phone.. e.g full factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalivk cache, then try again and post back
EDIT: also you could try format sd card (internal) this way there wont be a single thing left on the phone that could cause issues...
Odin wont recognise the phone when it's in download mode , only when it's on the boot screen.
I've factory reset it , wiped caches and formated the internal SD card. Still no luck getting past the Galaxy S Screen.
Open Odin select files .
Go to download mode on phone you should now have a big yellow icon
Connect usb cable
First block on Odin lights up press start Odin runs goes to blue phone reboots .
Is that your sequence of events ??
No.
The phone isn't recognized by Odin when it's in download mode , so i'm not even able to start the flash.
I open Odin ,
Select the Files ,
Put phone to Download mode and connect USB ,
Odin dosn't detect and block dosn't turn yellow.
However ,
It IS detected and turns yellow if the phone ISN'T in download mode. Soon as I switch to download mode , Odin says "Removed" and the yellow icon dissapears.
Can you get to download mode without connecting to Odin
heimdall might be an option
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755265&highlight=heimdall
jje
Unable to start the flash on Heimdall also , as it wont find phone.
I am lost wont find phone is usually a USB problem/USB drivers .
jje
The computer makes the usual Beep noise when plugging in a USB device , so it's obviously being detected. It just wont show up in ODIN when in download mode.
My next step would be to remove Kies and any Samsung Drivers .
Then reinstall Kies so you are 100% sure drivers are ok .
jje
All fixed now.
Used a USB port at the back of the computer , and it then worked fine with ODIN for some reason. Re-flashed original firmware and phone is now running much smoother than previously.
Thanks for all your help.
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.
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?
Hello everyone I am sure that there is a lot of this thread going.
But I think mine is even worse.
the problem:
I rooted the device, everything worked fine ( did it with card reader - because my pc can not recognize the device had the problem a long time ago, somehow it worked then, but does not now, giving me the code 10 and 43
I think my USB port on the SAMSUNG might be damaged, because it does recharge but wont connect at all, tried kies, tried all the debugging modes, drivers, turning off the computer, rebooting all that stuff..)
The main problem is I flashed the cwm, rebooted, worked fine, then I clicked the do Backup thing and from then I can only go to yellow "downloading" or samsung logo, cannot even use that "Odin" because my USB is apparently damaged.. Any Ideas at all other than taking the phone and throwing it into the dumpster?
it is gt-s5830
my system is Win7-64bit
any help will be deeply appreciated ...
sincerely Fariel2012
Samsung logo freeze, cant recovery, can download mode (cant join to pc)

Hi there
you will need to give a usb jigg service to your device and then flsah it back to stock using odin
SGA s5830 stuck @ boot logo
I follwed these steps before it stuck @ boot logo
1 rooted phone through root_S5830.zip file
2 then used 6.0.4.6-cooper_fix.zip cwm recovery
3 decided to flash Touchwiz-Resurrected_ROM_V1.0.zip rom
4 followed all steps to flash thrrough CWM recovery
phone reebots samsung.com logo>> samsung boot animation shows up>>samsung name appears again keeps glowing and phone restarts!!!
after it I tried 6-7 different roms then i tried to flash through odin but wasnt able to do so but failed the device showed up in odin but wasnt able to flash stock rom
then i decided to go for Phil touch recovery I installed Philtouch recovery and tried to flash a custom rom now I'm stuck again at boot name GALAXY ACE s5830 nothing goes further!!!
I searched over XDA and some guy quoted this problem is solvable by using odin and putting phone in downloading mode (vol- button+home button + Power on ) I am able to put my phone in downloading mode, but when i conncet it to PC it says USB device not recognized WTF!!!!!???? 10 mins ago i connected my Phone using same cable same port same odin now this ***** appears ???
I swapped PC's, Cables, ports everything nothings working , phone wont start stuck @ boot logo pls help ASAP :crying:
That's it.. You have hard bricked your phone that's dead recovery and dead download mode. Give your phone the usb jigg service which will force it to go to either the download mode or the recovery mode whatever you want.
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,
At first sorry for my english. I`m Dawid from Poland
OK, so i have gt-i8190N and when i trying to turn it on i see only white screen. Screen is ok because i can run phone in download mode.
Of course everyone says " so try to flash rom by odin" but i can`t because in odin i have error "FAIL Get PIT for mapping There is no PIT partition". I was try to flash rom with PIT file (to i8190N and i8190) but without succes.
Are anyone have the same problem?
I was try OneClick also.
Thanks for any answer.
