First off, don't make a post to ask about this post, you are just cluttering our forums and making it more likely no one will answer you.
What did you put in the modem slot? How much battery did you have when you started? how long is "hours" sitting at the flash screen? Does the tab react at all to being plugged into the wall (not your computer, a wall charger)?
Without knowing those I would say it is likely bricked given the circumstances... If it is, the only way to recover is to jtag it... Connexion does this for about fifty bucks.

You're and idiot for various reasons.
Sorry had to be said

So, you just rooted your tab and haven't uploaded any kernel or clockwork. Put your tab in download mode (press power plus volume down) and use heimdall to upload the stock rom. Search the forums to learn how to do it.

And if you can't fix, at least you have a nifty paperweight....

hi guys i wonder if you can help me, ive read all the posts about rooting etc and i have managed to do one click root and was now looking at changing roms and this is where i am getting confused, i am reading about the recovery and not sure if mine is the right one or if i need to fix, it has blue writing and says at the top android system recovery 3e and a picture of a triangle with an i in the middle below the options list, im guessing this does need the 3 button fix but its a bit confusing to me on how to do this, can anyone please help me,
many thanks in advance
steve
ps im using a phone purchaced in the uk and it is unlocked to any network if that makes any difference
Disable OCLF and flash CF-Root with odin and you'll get 2e recovery.
And if you can get to recovery and download mode, you don't need 3 button fix.
The only thing is ive tried to use odin but dosnt seem to work on my pc

You say that odin does not work, I know it might be obvious but are you running it correctly. Make sure that you start odin before connecting the phone to the pc.
When I say it dosnt work I mean in the case that I cant get it to run on my pc for some reason, I dont suppose u know of a link to download it at all, thanks for the help

I'm trying to understand this, but it's still worded terribly.
1) you flashed i9000 leaked gingerbread
2) you want to get into recovery
3) button commands aren't working
is that about right?
well, for one, you shouldn't flash stuff for i9000 all willy-nilly since it can MOD EDIT up your system, and you likely flashed the full package including new bootloaders which has therefore changed your button commands. Power + VOL DOWN = recovery, Power + VOL UP = download (that might be reversed, try both). also, you can use the adb commands of course (though I don't recommend doing so if you can't get into download/recovery with buttons).
also, why are you trying to get into recovery mode? there's not much you can do there from stock gingerbread.

[Q] tab bricked?or is it?

I had issues with my Verizon tab. I flashed the rom back to stock with himdall. It now has black screen unless I plug it in then the camera flash stays on. My windows 7 laptop can still connect to it. I reflased again the light goes of then back on. Want to get it back to stock but don't know and think maybe its permanently bricked?I can not get it to boot or do anything.

Woah buddy I didn't say go ahead and flash it. So you put it in download mode first and then flashed that?
There was no way to get into download mode. I flashed it but this time the camera flash went off and stayed off.
So how did you flash it then if not in DL mode?

Luisoman2000,
Sounds like you have other than P1000
Maybe a P1000N or P1000L of the Latin America?
If so, you need to seek out alroger's site for L/N kernel.

yup, its a p1000n. im charging the tab right now, tried connecting it to pc and it was recognized by odin so i guess those are good news.
Definitely.
You can use overcome method to restock, but you will need humberos kernel to get it boot up.
Let me know if you can find the right post.
Btw you don't need to refresh the whole thing. Just need the right kernel.

Use heimdall 1.3.1 (later version may cause other issue) and you needed to use zadig.exe to install USB driver.
Odin I am not sure, it needs to be .tar format.
I don't know if taring a file make it OK to Odin. Never tried myself.

If you can't get into recovery or download mode you might be in a bit of a pickle. Recently did that to my GS3 and I had to send it back to Samsung. I would find and try a USB Jig first, that might get you into download mode so you can use Odin to flash stock firmware back onto the phone. Just do a google search for Samsung USB Jig.
Thank you for your advise:thumbup:lol
That is only way to unbricking the phone?

Well that is the way you can do it, if the USB Jig gets you into download mode. If it doesn't, then you can have it JTaged. There are companies out there that offer JTag Service for some fee. Can't remember now but like 60-70 bucks maybe. Again, I'm sure it's just a google search away. Other than those two options I don't know if anything else, besides sending it back for warranty replacement.
Make a JIG, its' super easy. I made one to fix a friends Galaxy S2.

[Q] p1000 wont charge while download mode, what to do?

hello.
my p1000 is bricked. but I thin soft bricked. becaue sometimes it shows the HtPC Mode (2nd download mode). then I try to flash the froyo 2.2 with odin, and odin says to me PASS BUT the tab dont start after PASS..
I think this is because the battery is low or drained. but how can I charge it?
please help me :/
anyone pleaseee? :/
First try to flash overcome stock safe v5 gingerbread...
About charging ... If you connect the tab to the AC charger when it is powered off for few hours ... Does it charge...???
I think the froyo 2.2 is the right one because I think Bevor I was on the. 2.2 firmware and this one has a loked bootloader.. but Im going to try it.
Uhm no when I plug the Tab to the AC charger the tab don't stay off, everytime it boot to the 'downloading, do not turn off target' screen, even when I press the power button at least 10 secods, everytime the same..

With it plugged into the charger can you get it to boot into recovery? If you can do a factory reset.

I'm not Sure where you got the stock ROM, I would down load it from sammobile.Com. It's a zip file. Use 7_zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that file in odin, in the PDA. Only have auto reboot and f.reset checked. Then flash the rom.
