VZW tab will not boot - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a VZW galaxy tab. I rooted it and flashed spacemoose's honeycomb and it worked. I wanted to try Khasmek's CM7 and when I flashed it, it will not boot or mount anything from CWM. Where do I find the recovery files so I can use Odin to fix it ? I have been searching for an hour! Thank u in advance.

i think you batter look for the stock rom that came with your tab and flash it ..
advice for the future : do not flash system over system .. when you wanna flash something , pls do return to stock , then flash whatever you wanna flash ..
good luck to find stock rom

I have been looking for the stock rom but don't see it. Any ideas?
Edit: someone pointed me in the right direct and I got it fixed.

And did you flash your stock kernel back after the rooting?
When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.
Thanks for replying

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify
No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?
I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)
I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.
Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling
Edit: will this one work?

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )
Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB
Hi i am trying to flash my rom with a stock froyo rom but i'm not sure if im downloading the correct one. Ive found them here :

And im downloading this one : I9000XWJS8|2.2.1|2011 March|Download
will it solve my problem?
Edit: After flashing a stock kernel a few minutes ago i am unable to go into recovery mode and it still hangs at boot screen, can someone please just give a quick overview on how to flash the new rom.
Thanks

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?
Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!

Galaxy S wont boot

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas
Alch
Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!
How can i flash Stock Froyo/Gingerbread trough Odin? Can`t find anything usefull @ google
btw i can reach Recovery Mode (CWM / Speedmonk something)
(Kinda experienced by flashing around with my N1 for around 2 years now, but never heard about this Odin Program)
thanks for help anyway

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379853
Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays

[HELP] My Phone Boot Loops!

There might be an answer somewhere in the forum, but i have no time searching (i would if i could) So please be nice and dont yell at me =[
So....
I used to have CF-Root Kernel installed with a xwjs8 rom installed.
Probably shouldnt have done it, but i upgraded my kernel to Semaphore 2.5bm using odin.
after that my phone didnt boot.... Decided to use odin again and flash semaphore jvt 1.8 and installing a jvt rom. Everything worked...
But i had no recovery mode... tried flashing CWM... It just didnt work.
After surrendering i just flashed the old kernel that worked, and now, my phone just refuses to boot, or go into recovery =[
I can still get in download mode...
Is there a way to just go back to a stocky begining...? just so ill know my phone isnt bricked for life.
Thanks in advance.

Either use sammobile.com to download the latest stock firmware for your phone and flash using odin or use the following link to get a rooted 2.3.6 GB rom with CWM recovery

[Q] i9000 tried to flash CM9...kinda fsck'ed

[email protected],
after successfully flashing CM9 to my Defy I convinced my friend to go to ICS as well...so far so good/bad!
I followed the guide to install CMW recovery and did a backup of the stock ROM.
After this I copied CM9 nightly and the google apps package to the internal memory...apperantely the zip package of the google apps was bad, so i tried to boot into CM9..it took a damn long time, so I removed the battery (OK, bad move...but so be it don't bit*h about it!)..CM9 booted but said someting about "encryption of the storage failed..please do a factory wipe"......I did so, using CWM recovery...which ended me up in a boot loop without having access to CMW recvry.
So I thought, flashing the zImage again with heimdall will have the bootloader rewritten (maybe the 2nd bad move this day) so I can access recovery again...I imagined zImage was kinda like a BIOS of a PC...apparently it is NOT
After some google-f00 I found out I have to flash an official FW from samsung, with repartitioning,using odin, am I right?
But the probel is, that they tell me to do a *#7465625# to find out details about the stock firmware...but this is not bossible because the phone hangs at the galaxy s boot logo.
So my question is...what can I do to access either recovery or the stock firmware with a phone stuck at boot logo (i can boot into download mode) and having only a nandroid backup of the stock rom?
Can anybody tell me what to do without spending 200 coins to obtain another SGS for my friend (Yeah, I told him that the risk is to brick the SGS, but I have a kind of guilty conscience.
Hope someone can help...
Thanks a lot!
Odin doesnt care about whats currently on your phone . Just go to samfirmware. Com, find a nice stock rom (2.3.3) for i9000, and flash it with odin. If you dont know how to use odin: use the search button in the i9000 section ''how to use odin''. keep us updated / or if you have any other questions :thumbup:

hey
when i screwed my sgs, odin + darky ressurection rom helped
i can't post a link , google "Darkys_v9.2_Resurrection_Edition.zip" ,though i can't remember if i used that version. some got removed, try to look for a sourceforge link. That still works
and see the reply above how to use odin
Hey,
There are also lots of tutorials on youtube, and other sites to show how to flash an original rom. I also screwed up my install of CM9. And then I followed this guide to get the original rom running again.
w w w.theandroidsoul.com/download-install-xxjvs-firmware-update-galaxy-s-i9000-to-android-2-3-5/
After that, use this link for rooting + CWM:

hmmm... i read from another site there are some custom rom that requires the phone to be in a rooted stock rom or another custom rom...
example:
to install Galaxy S GT I9000 with Orange Amestris v7.3 ROM Custom Firmware you need to be on stock XWJW1 or XXJVU Firmware since the baseband of "amestris" would be on xwjw1 or xxjvu or custom rom with the same baseband...
what stock rom/firmware the phone was in anyway?im guessing gingerbread stock rom? you still got a chance to update it right since you can access download mode...
from what i can remember, i updated my boyfrnd's s2 from gingerbread to official ics from "sammobile".com (remove quote)
then updated it to a custom rom...
well this might be irrelevant but this is how i updated my galaxy s:
well on my galaxy s i updated it from gingerbread stock rom rooted to gingerbread miui then to ics miui andy's version, since im on ics i have successfully tried different ics custom rom like darknight, slimics, elite etc...
hope this kinda help =]
Thanks a lot...I flashed the original firmware (it didn't start properly, but I don't care) and with this was able to flash the zImage again...then I was able to access bootloader and reinstall CM9

[Q] Help!!! URGENT!!! Something has gone wrong in flashing process.

Hello,
I am a completely new person to all this flashing. I wanted to put ICS on my galaxy s. It is already on 2.3.3 and I just recently rooted it using superoneclick.
Odin was doing its thing, then it came up with 'FAIL'. Now my screen looks like this (see attachment) and will only let me go into download mode.
What can I do??
All help is greatly appreciated.
Hey
Dont panic..just read my UnBrick Guide (Below)..itll solve ur issue..else you can downgrade to a stock firmware and start all over again..
you also goes into charging? Try to flash a kernel by odin in pda unmarked pit or partition
Hey. That's not such a bad thing. Your phone has no software on it, that's why you can't start or go into recovery. Simply get a ROM that can be flashed via Odin and flash it. That'll solve everything.
U can find roms here:
