hi there, just tried to flash darkys rom v10.1, dont know what i done wrong, it started off ok, odin found my phone, clicked on repartition then start, then it said FAIL... waited a few minutes then disconnected it from the computer, tried to power up and all i got was a picture of a phone, a warning triangle, and a computer? does this mean i've bricked my phone? any advice would be a help as i'm a noobie to flashing. HELP !!
can you put the phone back in downloadmode (powerbutton+homebuttun+volume down)
Ok, the first thing is can you get into download mode or recovery?. If there is download simply flash a stock rom from samfirmware. If not take your battery out for a while put it back in and see if you can get download or recovery then. If not try to get download while plugged in. After that I've run out of ideas except for making a usb JIG to get your phone into download mode.
i can get into download but not recovery. tried taking the battery out for a while but still the same, phone - ! - computer. can i get into into kies while in the download screen?
So you've got download mode, you should be fine, relax. Now the easiest way to get to stock Gingerbread is by flashing the Ezbase 3.0 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
Now, go to the link, scroll down to the second post, download the 3 files under Gingerbread Ezbase 3.0 the Ezbase.pit(if you want to repartition) and the Ezodin. Then click on the how to under the downloads post and it will tell you how to flash them on the second page of the pdf. Good luck
hi there thanks for the tip, just trying to download now but the links wont open...looks like i might need to send the phone back...
you can download any stock rom and flash your phone again
just get a rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
and flash your phone depending with the instructions within
hope it helps

Nope, you don't need to send it back just because the EZbase link won't download, that was just a pointer to the easiest option. Any stock firmware from the thread Rorix posted should get you up and running again. Probably best if you flash the JVH firmware in the second post as that is what Darky 10.1 is based on. This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 is another option to get any stock firmware and explains everything quite well. Don't hesitate to ask anything

Hi,
I've just got my Tab back from repair, I was wondering whether I can update to JQ1 using Chainfire's instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
My tab is currently at
PDA: P1000XXJMG
PHONE: P1000XXJMF
CSC: P1000OXAJMG
I am a noob, and I am confused with the bootloaders being locked or unlocked. I just wanted to get your advice to see whether my Tab could be updated. I can't update through KIES as it states 'This version of the device cannot be updated'
Thanks

to update Gingerbread is not matter if you got the bootloader or no ..

Yeah sure, I'm from the UK. I appreciate the help K0sh, I will send a donation for your help.
i'm blushing now cuz no one ever do it .. hihihi .
go download this stock rom : http://hotfile.com/dl/117471659/f401020/P1000XXJQ1.rar.html
after its finish download .. put it in PDA section in Odin 1.7 without pressing anything because there is already inside Pit to wipe everything in ur tab .. you know how to go through download mode right .. off tab , down volume and power button together for a 3seconds your tab will put in download mode you will see it in odin that your tab is recognized make sure you have the drivers installed in your pc .
Note : extract the rom from the RAR . i mean extract the tha TAR inside the zip you download it .. the password is samfirmware.com
hit the start button your tab will reboot again in download mode .. you force it to reboot then it will go directly into recovery mode , ignore the RED lines . after its done , back again into recovery mode by : off tab , volume up with power on until its boot move ur hands of the buttons . and after its go through recovery mode pls wipe cash and wipe factory reset , then reboot and enjoy your tab with gingerbread
downloading, its gonna take about 40mins.
So I put the TAR in the PDA section on ODIN 1.7.
I reboot the Tab in Download mode and click start, it will then do its stuff.
Im a bit confused after that point, I take it after its flashed I go in to recovery mode and wipe cache and wipe factory reset.

Sprint Galaxy Tab Gingerbread ROM?
I am new to the concept of Flashing ROM's on my Android Devices.
I would like to take my Tablet from Froyo, 2.2.1 to Gingerbread or even HC if possible. I know that Spacemoose1 is working on the HC CDMA release, but it's not fully there yet. Good luck to her on that adventure!
Is there a way to upgrade to Gingerbread easily? Is there a 100% working GB ROM that allows for 3G, GPS, Audio, Accelerameter, etc. to work?
I'm looking for a release that will allow for all the pieces of my Tablet to work, only with a more recent ROM/OS.
Thank you for your patience with me.
Okay, Ive just updated mine to gingerbread and all is fine. You will be able to too do it but one thing im worried about with your device, is it turning off during the flash and potentially bricking it. This depends on whether its a hardware fault, but we could see if its fixed by doing a factory reset - Turn the tab off, then once its off hold 'power and volume up' till it goes in to recovery mode. then use the volume button to go down to 'wipe data/factory reset' and then click yes, then go to 'reboot system'. Test your Tab out and see if it happens again, if it does then it looks like a hardware fault which needs sending back to Samsung for repair.
For about a week now my samsung galaxy tab p1000 keeps freezing on the samsung logo screen and every minute ore so vibrates very short.
No matter how long i wait it keeps like that . Ive tryed the reset from the recovery mode (powerbutton + volume up) but no luck. The tab is still on a stock fw 2.2 i believe. and no root or anything.
Im very new on the whole rom stuf so some help is needed on how to restore the tab. I havent flashed it or anithing. Also it gives a error like in the screenshot below:
You should flash your tab and install a new firmware that's the only solution

oke i figured that much yesterday, when reading some topics, but wich rom do i need to use?? because i dont know how to root the tab because it wont boot ore is rooting not a must?
dude... get the latest 2.3.3 firmware...
you may check www.samfirmware.com to see latest firmware for your deivce. If you are in ASIA region, look for JPI edition. Its good, fast and stable.
Use ODIN to flash, with REPARTITION ENABLE... once complete flashing, reboot, and repeat the FLASHING again... DO IT TWICE..., but REPARTITION ONCE only...
Do i have to fully boot between flashing, or after first flash straight to download mode?

Im at your same state. My tab hangs on samsung logo and lets me to download alone. I can help you with the drivers part. Im sure you have the Kies in your system. Just push the on button and connect your phone to the pc and run Kies. You have an option to troubleshoot which will update the drivers for your phone. This worked for me. For the rest of the part, there is a chap who is helping me on this forum and he advised me to go for stock ROM. Ill try that today after sufficiently charging up my phone.
I ve been searching for a while now and looks like this is common and nothing much to worry about. Ill keep you posted on what happened on my attempt to odin flash the stock ROM.
Hello friend, my tab is back and working fine now. Hope tried connecting kies to get your driver up for the tab. Once its up you can get to the download and flash stock rom using odin. This would bring your phobe back to life.
I am currently running on overcome experience rom. Its pretty good and they have great instructions on their site. Try that you should be all set.
Best of luck.
I have the exact same issue. I've been trying to flash a Euro 2.3.3 for the last 5 hours. Anything special you did before I create a new thread? I've done this a billion times on my old tab....I just got this one today off ebay.

Can you be more specific on the state of your G-Tab?
What firmware were you using before the problem occurs?
if you are updating from proyo, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs. For your reference you can follow these following steps (given you can access download mode).

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I don't think so... Anyway I had a perfectly working Galaxy Ace coming with stock Android 2.3.4. So I tried rooting it, and I did see the superuser icon but I couldn't apps into the SD card. So I ignored it and downloaded a custom rom and entered recovery mode, wiped data and cache first and rebooted. Then I installed the rom in recovery mode and it said installation successful but when I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand. And nothing happens. Please help it's nearly brand new! My parents don't know yet... If there is a way to use the com and download the stock rom please provide step by step instructions that was my first smartphone so much help would be appreaciated!

Am not an expert but i would take battery out then put back in holding volume down key home key and power key at sametime to put into download mode then flash your stock rom via odin to get it back running again
have you done a datwipe in cwm after installing? try that first
Hey there!
Before We get to ODIN
Start phone in recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button ) and then:
- Do a Factory Reset
- Do Wipe Cache
Then Reboot
If he boots great!
If not and still remains at ACE screen do this:
1st - Download Odin 4.38 (http://www.4shared.com/rar/UqBhp5Qd/Odin_Multi_Downloader_v438_www.html)
2nd - Download Cooper.ops (http://hotfile.com/dl/138852983/36a55ea/Cooper_v1.0.ops.rar.html)
3rd - Go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search firmware for your s5830
Then choose the rom that suits you best (download one from your country if possible)
After the above steps are done open odin
At "option" select - "One Package, Auto-Reboot And Protect OPS"
At "select OPS" - choose "Cooper.ops" (The file you´ve downloaded)
At bottom is "One Package" - In here put the file of the room you´ve dowloaded
Finaly put phone in download mode (Vol. Down + Power Button) and connect it to your PC.
Wait for odin to recognize your phone, a yellow sign will light up, ( you need samsung kies in your computer so odin recognize your phone)
And then hit "Start"
Wait about five minutes at the end your phone should reboot by itself
And that should be it
If your phone reboots but stuck ate samsung boot animation.
Remove Battery
Put it back again
Turn your phone into recovery mode ( Center Button + Power Button )
Do Wipe Factory/Reset and Wipe cache, reboot,
and your good to go!
I rebooted I got stuck at the "GALAXY ACE" page and I noticed a weird small blue triangle at the top left hand
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the blue triangle isn't this CWM 5?
or if can you get to recovery mode try flashing the original stock recovery first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437426
then install a stock rom with Odin
and boot from the stock recovery to fix the phone boot
if recovery is working you should fix the phone easily with stock rom.
installing a stock rom will install the stock recovery by itself!
so no need to flash stock recovery before flashing stock rom!
Can someone please explain what went wrong here in the first place?

Well first you are going to have to achieve either recovery or download mode.
Recovery: hold volume up + home and the hold power until the first screen pops up. Keep holding for about half a second. Which longer than instant lol
Download: same as above but volume down.
If you get to recovery try a wiping cache and dalvik. Then try boot up. If that doesn't work then you'll have to wipe/factory reset from recovery.
If that doesn't work then either download a stock firmware by Ramad on the general forum or go sammobile.com or type in darky in Google and go to his website and navigate to full releases. From there click on the latest for your phone sgs i9000. Scroll down to instructions and look for the link for 10.2 re or something similar. Its the Odin flashable rom. Alternatively just look for a from you like and flash it. If you have recovery you may be able to use CWM flash able zips otherwise you will need Odin flash able files from the places above.
Darky rom will retain root and is a custom from so it'll be easier to move to another custom from if you flash that.
That cover everything

Hi Talon26,
I have tried the 3 button recovery and download and nothing nada ??
I dont know which stock firmware to go for a while ago i had same problem as im having now and could not get a decent download for stock firmware any pointers in the right direction ??
can you get a Jig from a friend?
it can get you into download mod without button combination..
here is some video that might help to understand how to make one, it has instructions on the info.

Yes you can use a jig that would be easiest and best for the future in-case you run into this again...
However i don't understand why download or recovery is not working if you are already on custom, you have achieved it before right? If not use a video to help.
However if the standard methods do not work then there are sill some tricks..
1. Take out the battery>>>Hold the button combo>>>Insert battery whilst holding combo>>>When the boot screen appears (Samsung GT-I9000) hold for about half a second/whole second then release>>>Wait. If it continues to boot loop again then take out battery
2. From task manager close all Kies apps/processes>>>Put your usb cable in>>>plug in your phone>>>hold the combo>>>Wait.
3.Take out battery>>>Do all of 2>>>When the USB is connected to phone whilst holding the combo insert battery>>>Wait.
4. Repeat 3 with charger instead of the USB cable
If none of that works then yes i think you will need to make or buy the jig. (Or borrow if you can). But also do a search as im not sure if i covered all the tricks. There used to be a thread on it in the general section, try search for it.

Sammoblie.com, [Ramad] Stock Firmware or Darky 10.2RE
Sammobile.com is straight forward. Click on smartphone, then android etc. Just follow the clicks then you select the FW that is relevant to you based on country and provider... If use the Ramad link then you will need your csc code which will be retrievable from the sammobile site its at the bottom.
Good luck

1. Ultimate ROM is it ICS? if yes install samsung drivers.exe from the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
2. Download stock ROM for your phone from samfirmware.com or alternatively you can use Darky's ROM
3. you will need Odin to flash the ROM it is included with Darky's ROM as is a read me file with instructions.
4. Start Odin make sure no kies processes are running if installed. If they are running Kill the processes
5. Boot phone to download mode using jig. Remove jig from phone. Plug USB cable into phone. wait for odin to detect phone then flash.
NOTE you may have to Flash once with re-partition ticked and then once without to get the rom completely booted.
Once running it is suggested to perform factory reset

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"

Stock ROM would be what the phone was shipped with. ie carrier branded OS etc.
Darky's should work or from Samfirmware.com once registered select firmwares. Type "smartphone" OS "android" model "your model" region "your region"

From what you describe I will assume that your computer is running windows 7. This being the case the file downloaded needs to be extracted so that you are left with 1 file called JVG_JV5_JV4
You say that you are now left with file called JVG_JV5_JV4. Have you downloaded a PIT file? If not find 512 PIT at the bottom of this post.
Once PIT file is downloaded extract file.
Select PIT and add pit file
Select PDA and then select the file extracted JVG_JV5_JV4
Then flash.
As stated before you may have to flash with repartition selected once and then once with out.
This should get you going again.

when you are saying that it is doing nothing is odin flash failing ??
Flash completing and then phone not booting??
If the stock ROM is not working try Darky's 10.2 as it will generally work when other methods fail.
Mate , I can not thank you enough i tried again after i last put message on here and all done i now have 2.3.6 and as far as i am concerned all ok now. I did have to get into recovery mode after i used Odin for mob to start up and just did a system rebbot or should i say factory rebbot. All ok now and alot of songs i had were all still on memory card ok had to re install apps i had before but hey ho.
