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...

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?

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?

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.
Hi guys. Fist of all, sorry for my bad english.
I bricked my phone's touchscreen, with update firmware in the *#*#2663#*#* and its wrote 'update failed' . My bad, dont do this. Dou you know any solutions? I tried factory reset, flashing roms ( froyo and gongerbread too), but nothing helped. The touchscreen stopped responding. But i think, if i can reflash the touchscreen firmware, it will working. It is possible flash the touchscreen firmware from sd card? Actually where are the files of the driver in the file system?
Can we explain, what happened actually when click on update on the tsp firmware screen? Which application/ script started? I thinks, the touchscreen files are in the tsp ic, which is separated from the flash, so just flashin a new rom dont write data to the tsp ic. But the files must be in the rom too, because some people did the update without problem, and the firmware version is changed, and the touchscreen works better then before. Do you have some ideas? If you have root acces, please browse the system folder, i thinks there is somewhere a "tspupdate" or similar named shell script/application what i need. But dont run it, it can brick your touchscreen too!!!
Sorry for my bad englis.....

THIS MAY MAKE THINGS WORSE, BUT SOME DO NOT CARE. DRAGONS AHEAD....
Either way hoarding knowledge is a big peev of mine. I have read about this issue from as many google'able places as possible. I started reading after I went thru the release notes from some of the sX series. I notices that some carriers listed ghost/glove tsp firmware update/support. I also noted as the original poster did, that the files are in the rom. I would guess look thru all the updates your carrier made available and download the specific whole rom update and factory restore / apply it. Should this not work look thru the system folder for the file. When you have it copy it to your sd card where the tsp update screen tells you to put it. Try running the update again.
If this works please confirm this.
I think possible looking in system folder I recall a firmware folder possibly inside lib or modules somewhere.
I read that tsp modes are controlled from, so logically the files should be nearby.
/sys/class/sec/tsp
or depending on phone/model
/proc/touchpanel
I will keep an eye here, I am busy with some debricking and roms in general.

I had a more complicated version of this. couldn't format, couldn't mount, nothing. My tab showed this, I tried flashing several different kernels/roms/cwm, everything, nothing. Actually made it worse. It got to a point where when I powered on, I only got the backlit softkeys. A few times I got a weird image I've never seen before. Something about bad or unknown upload mode (with a little droid in teh corner....should have taken a picture). And finally I would get nothing; HOWEVER, if I plugged my tab into my laptop and gave it a few seconds, ODIN would see it. I could try flashing a kernel, but it would never process, just hang at the first step so....
with the tab plugged into the laptop and ODIN showing a connection, I would hold VOL DOWN + POWER until I see it disconnect (this is evident of a power down since I have no lights to indicate that). Once it disconnects (yellow box disappears) you can let go of POWER but do NOT release VOL DOWN. It will reconnect shortly thereafter. You are now in Download mode (whether or not you actually see anything on the tablet. You can test this theory by flashing something. What fixed it for me? I downloaded firmware from samfirmware.com. Specifically I downloaded JJ7 v2.2 (full file name I used was P1000XWJJ7.rar) I think what made the difference was using all 3 files. I did not use a PIT file, I put P1000XWJJ7-REV03-ALL-CL669843.tar.md5 in the PDA box, MODEM_P1000XXJK5_REV_00_CL690077.tar.md5 for Phone, and GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.tar.md5 in CSC. I did NOT check repartition. Now, this was after I had tried several things like flashing PIT by itself, different stock kernels, full ROMs, etc.... This was the final step I took. Now I'm back to normal.
I'd be interested to see if this solves anyone else's problem. I am so thrilled that I just fixed my "bricked" tab (no power, no response, no apparent charging even) that I'm hoping my time and effort can help someone else.
Let us know what happens. I am actually scouring the forums now because I know at least 2 others were having similar problems as I and maybe this will help them as well.
BTW, I did lose EVERYTHING on the internal SD, including all my backups. Thankfully I always made backups to External
P.S. I should mention it is an AT&T (GSM) Tab.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think your version of galaxy tab is different with mine and I am not sure that it will work. I am really desparate for solution. This disaster started when the tab's battery is low and suddenly off and when it's charged and turned on it bricked
Point being, tabs are tabs. You will need to use the same procedure, but a different ROM that is designed for your tablet. Go there and find a ROM. There is a thread about unbricking your tablet, I think in the Android Development section that should have a link to samfirmware.com and may provide you with a ROM version that should work. something that may help: plug your tab into the charger at least overnight. I used the stock charger and cable and charged it for 12 hours or so. I did not get any indication that it was charging since the screen and softkeys would not respond, but it did charge.
Of course, I look back and I think you have an indicator, but still a good idea. Try it anyway. Can't make it worse, eh? Mine seemed hardbricked, but it wasn't. I was real close to taking it apart before I found something that works. I believe, IMO, what really fixed it is flashing ROM (PDA), Modem, and CSC files all at once. It could have been something else, but that was the last thing I did before it finally booted.
Go to samfirmware.com, create a free account, and sign in. Then go here (I think your tab is a P1010, correct?) http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1010.htm
and Download this:
1010XWKC1 ## MULTI - CSC - OXXKC1 P1WIFI 2.2.1 2011 March DOWNLOAD
(click on DOWNLOAD)
Unzip that file you just downloaded
Start ODIN
Hold VOL DOWN and plug in tab to computer
I believe 3 files should be in the .rar (you can use 7-zip to open, Google it)
the MODEM file goes in Phone.
the CSC file goes in, you guessed it, CSC
last one is PDA.
I think I just rewrote instructions that can be found in the Galaxy Tab Bible. lol. This is what I would do. It worked for me.

do a quick search of the dev thread for EA24 and you should be able to find the original SPH-P100 files. then you can find the EB28 and EF17 updates as well to get all the way to the official GB release.

Hello guys.
I really need some help. Im going away for 2 weeks on 4 June. And after i come back ill be ghone after 2 days again for 2 weeks and i need my phone!
My story:
I saw an update for my phone to ICS. So i plugged on my laptop and put the update on with KIES 2.1.3.
At about 64% the update didnt go ferther and it gave an error report.
The program KIES shut down, and my phone turned off.
I putted everything back on. But now my phone says this:
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES & try again.''
KIES doesnt see my phone anymore. And the recovery mode i found on the internet.
Volume button up, home button+ power button doesnt work.
It keeps going to this screen.
My phone was 2.3.6 standard, non rooted etc etc.
How can i fix this fast?
I tried rooting and flashing, but i just cant do anything with my phone exept this screen i explained.
Thanks in advance.

Just download ODIN app for Windows, get right stock firmware from development thread ( Dr. Ketan's post ) and flash it with ODIN. It's as simple as clicking select file and start. Everything is described in the thread with firmware downloads.
Yes. Then there is hope. Now I recommend you to try flashing one of the stock roms from dr.ketans thread in development section.
Its not very complicated. But feel free to ask if you need more help.

Well i searched for hours to. My sister had her S2 upgraded with KIES. That worked, but the ICS update itself was plain suck.
I fixed it thanks to XDA forum. Nothing found on the internet exept sending to help desk.
Same with what i got now.
But now it is fixed and im thankfull to the ones helping.
Now i am willing to try ICS without KIES.

I understand you're in a panic because your device is having issues. But please read the forum rules and search for your issue before posting the same question in multiple threads like you just did. By you posting the same question over and over searching becomes difficult and people are less likely to help. Please try searching again. If you can't find a resolution post exactly what you did, and what files you were trying to load.
I haven't had any further progress.
When I try to flash with Odin, it gets stuck at SetupConnection..

Did you find out how to go on download or recovery mode?

No, but the device does "show up" in Odin. But again, doesn't get past Setup Connection when I try to flash something.
Ok... Fixed my issue.
Just had to flash the MK7 firmware. That was the ONLY one that works.
Thanks all!

Yeah mate,
You just have to download a stock MK7 firmware from sammobile. I don't think it matters which region, I used Australia (because that's where I am).
Then connect up the watch, right click on Odin 3.09 to "open as administrator", make sure the watch shows up in a "COM" port, load the MD5 into AP, then start.
Not sure how much more detail I can give.
Good luck guy!

That's exactly what I did but for some reason mine is not working
I got the same issue. When i do it, im still stock at "SetupConnection.."
By the way, im from Denmark, so which region do i have to choose? Cause, denmark is not on the list.
And, what were you flashing at first when you bricked your Gear ?
A friend of mine went through the same problems 2 days ago, he tried to flash directly Tizen 2.2.1.1 over Null_rom (Android), and it went bad like your Gear.
I found out he needed to first flash Tizen 2.2.0, the very first Tizen version that came out.
This version weights 200MB+ than the latest.
I guess it's all the Android -> Tizen conversion software and tools that are embedded, and if flashing a newer Tizen version directly, it fails because of this 200MB+ stuff lacking in the rom.
Is it what you did too ?
I don't know if this is documented somewhere down here, didn't searched before reply.
