Congrats, You've very likely bricked your Tab. You have a wifi only model which has different hardware to the roms here. In future read before you walk.
Enjoy!

does the pc recognise the tab at all? Sadly TheATHEiST is almost certainly correct in saying you've bricked the tab.
He is also correct in saying that you really should have read the instructions. Yes, really. If you reply and say you did follow instructions, please post a link to said instructions.
The roms are for the 3g tabs.
as far as I know, no one has made a custom rom/kernel for the wifi only tab. Its not the same because your wifi tab has different components compared to the 3g tab.

he remind me by someone bricked his tab because he flashed overcome over P1010 and even there is BIG note in overcome says DO NOT FLASH IF YOU P1010 .. and he replied me back , owh really i missed this
to the OP you see like Stoney says , check if your pc can still recognize your tab , if not , congrats you bricked your tab ... the nearest samsung service center will fix it for u hope u under the warranty , if so , u just say ( what is happened to my tab , i slept at night and i left it on the charger , i woke up i found it like this DEAD ) what makes my tab DEAD ? ? with some action acting with drama , u probably will fix it under the warranty ...
NOTE : this is not the right place for posting Question ...
good luck with SAMSUNG and don't forget the much drama u got the much u'll success to convince them
who agree with me , THUMBS UP

No point in crying, I was been blunt with you because you have nobody to blame except yourself.
If you had READ the topic(s) properly you would NOT be in this situation. You have flashed a software to your device that has a different bootloader then yours, hence you've bricked your device.
If your device is new you should take it straight back to the shop and plead dumb, say you put your device on charge and next day it wouldn't turn on properly. Alternatively say you tried to update it via Samsung Kies.
If they refuse to fix for you then you will need to pay for JTAG repair.
Congratulations, you have learned the hard way, next time learn the easy way and read properly.

+1 my thoughts exactly ..
HI,
I am from INDIA, few months back I got a Samsung Captivate , Till now i tried FIREFLY and CM7 ROMs . The first time flash i did it with ODIN i guess i did it with a wrong firmware ,So was stuck with AT&T screen boot loop issue. Searching the forums and found JIG may help and so made a JIG (as i can't get one here) . and recovered my phone and flashed stock and then FIREFLY and 2 weeks back i flashed CM7 for getting Gingerbread and not likeing the UI of the ROM tried to switch back to stock and then customize on my own.
So When i tried flashing Stock the installation was success the screen stuck few moments on AT&T logo and i thought it would go off, But as i was very eager to get my phone online again i pulled of the battery to restart manually (Which i dont think was nice idea ) Now the screen remains black even i use the JIG to get into download mode. But the phone heats UP when i plug it for charging on computer or directly to switch
HELP NEEDED as i am very addicted to this PHONE
I have the same issue. I was tryint to load Cognition and it just gets stuck on the ATT screen but I haven't tried a jig yet. I was wondering if I can replace the files on the phone with good files that aren't corrupted and see if it boots up because droid explorere can still pick up the phone and so does Odin but when I do a master reset nothing happens.
@rajasekhar - Have you tried: Removing all parts (battery, sim, sd) let it sit for a few min (my preference is around 10 min to insure no residual power is left in the system) then hold the jig in place and putting the battery back in? Keeping the jig in place, so that as soon as the device gets power it is immediately seeing the jig, before it can try any other processes.
A bit difficult to do with hand made jigs I know. If you still getting nothing then your in for the worst and the phone need a JTAG or service center visit.
Tho it sounds a little odd that it could boot up to seeing the AT&T logo, but does not respond to the jig. Might even be a hardware problem.
@i3oots - Since you say your still getting PC response your safe to try and reflash it or just pick something different altogether. Tho you might wanna let ODIN settle and just sit there doing nothing for a few min, w/o then w/ the phone plugged in. Or learn about Heimdall and go that route.
Would I be able to flash it even though it get's stuck on the ATT screen? It won't go into download mode. I'll look on the forums how to flash it too. I'm a newb at this which is why I bricked it but everyone has to start somewhere lol.

You have probably Hard Bricked your phone. A JIG will not work to recover the phone. If the phone has any life at all, then the JIG will work. Else, u hard bricked it...you should never remove the usb cable when flashing bootloaders or odin or anything!
the only solution is to get a JTAG which can recover hard bricks OR you can go to a warranty store (don't know about india) and make up a sob story and have them replace it..

Does your computer recognize the phone? If odin is open, does the box turn yellow when you connect your phone? Make sure you have the right drivers. I think cm7 and captivate drivers are different. Keep trying with the jig. Just because you can't see anything on the screen doesn't mean the phone is dead.

If your phone is booting up far enough to send out USB info for ODIN and other PC programs to see it, then your still in a workable condition. This also means you can still get into download mode, but since things arn't working properly it will be harder. Depending on which bootloaders your phone has will direct which methods you'll have to try out to get into download mode.
AFTER you've had a chance to look around the forum and self-educate on the different ways of getting into download mode. If your still having problems give us a lil more info of what you were running before the flash and to which version of Cog you were trying to flash.
Did anything worked for you, if not only a jtag can help you looks like u hard bricked the phone.
Hi guys
@DaNarki : Yea i tried that method to .
Thanx for ur suggestions guys .I really squeezed through xda for all possible ways of unbricking but no use. SO thought JTAG was the only option.But wanna know more about JTAG???????
Went for a samsung service centre they said they wont handle other country products of samsung. Just yesterday went to the local Cell phone Repair store , He said like he would try using a Ctool box they have for installin onto the rom directly. So i thought why not Give a shot to it ...
That store guy raised another question in me . Yesterday after giving it in the morning he said to call in the evening . I did so and he said the Phone is booting on the Ctool but it is sometimes throwing error . I dint get his intention in saying so . have to go to him today
bricked maybe not
I thought I was bricked also ...HARD BRICKED......no buttons no nothing ...tried odin on, phone plugged in, and hold down volume up and down and reinstall batt......nothing worked.......but this... it worked for me........ok first of all remember this will be a bit tricky because you will have to keep the volume keys pressed the whole time till you have download mode......should also have full batt......take out the sim and any flash cards you may have in the phone and the batt.....set the phone down and watch a couple hours of tv or try to brick your buddies phone so he can feel your pain...lol something.....ok now after your tv show has gone off turn on your computer and start up odin one click to stock.... put just the batt in the phone.....if your friend is still there you should try this with 100% batt.... use his phone to charge your batt.....any way put the batt in the phone....plug the usb cable into your computer......now for the tricky part .......press down the volume up and down now and do not let them go till the end of this and you should have download mode.......now plug in the usb to your phone IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET DL MODE HERE THEN GO AHEAD AND LET GO OF THE VOLUME BUTTONS AND FLASH YOUR PHONE ....if not... KEEP THE BUTTONS PRESSED.......now take the batt out of the phone.....keep them pressed......unplug your usb cable......keep them pressed.... restart odin...... keep them pressed....plug your usb cable back in.......keep them pressed... re-install the batt.....you should get download mode.......remember you have to keep them pressed... JUST... the volume up and down pressed through the whole process nothing else....This worked for me and I was dead bricked no nothing from any of the keys no nothing..... I DIDNT INVENT THIS METHOD I READ IT ON HERE SOMEWHERE AND CANT FIND IT AGAIN......It did work for me when nothing else did.....so if the person that posted it reads this THANK YOU...... ................................................. I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cant find the original post

If you just wanna know a bit about the process ask this guy. He is pretty much the only person in the US (I know not all to useful to a person in India) that does JTAG for the cappy.
I can tell you this much, it requires a special device called a Riff box and it sends boot info directly to the chip on the main/mother board that is used for the booting process.
Somewhere I've seen a site that listed info of ppl around the world that will JTAG, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Hope it helps I wish I could find the original post again to thank the guy that told me how to do it. I had sent that phone back to att and the promptly sent it back and told me the water dammage sticker in the bat compartment was missing and they wanted to charge me 409 bucks for the phone ....long story short it was there when I sent it and I told them to go pound sand up their ass because I wasnt paying them that much and ended up paying 125 bucks for a paper weight.So that is when I decided to have it jtaged but figured I would give it one more shot before mailing it off. That was when I found the post from that person and low and behold it worked........................... I hate to say this but I may have got the last two instructions backward you may have to put the batt in before plugging in the usb cable.......Like I said I cat find the original post

But ppl help me with JTAG thing and its users(or developers) availability in india
Forgot to mention
I Missed to explain my flashing procedure i have done this time . Like I never tried flash a boot file along and so was reading some threads about boot loader variations between FROYO and GINGERBREAD so i tried flashing ablong with boot loader and then I got the stock gingerbread file i put the boot loader SBL in heimdall Firstboot loader path .And Boom the first reboot got stuck and i removed the battery and then again when i tried to restart the phone is dead
Thinking this might have where the whole thing went wrong and made the cell dead .
it started when i wanted to upgrade my galaxy tab to 2.3.3 gingerbread but something went wrong on oden and my galaxy stucked at screen of death (that screen that has a mobile icon pc and an exclamation mark) anyway i got out of it using hiemdall but now iam stucked at adroid system recovery 3e how to go back to the OS and also i can go to download screen ......
thnx (sorry for disturbance)
guys 85 views and no answer plz i need help
Well I can tell you how to completely brick your tab but I, probably as well as most of the people who viewed your post, don't know how to fix...
Doesn't take much to view a post, less to give bad advice... Requires patience to get the person who can help, to find your post and answer...
You also have a cdma tab, i believe, that's bad as most people have the gsm variant. It also means that steps I take to rectify your problem on my tab will probably brick yours...
Now, would you like me to tell you how to fix MY tab???
Also, no idea what you were on, what you were trying to flash, rooted or unrooted, locked bootloader check done and cdma, wifi-only or gsm??? We need this information before we can help.
thnx for your reply ultra. my phone is gsm (the one that i can insert sim card) and its rooted and i was updating to ginerbread when oden stucked at factoryfs and failed and it bricked i used hiemdall to skip the pc screen and go to download screen so what can i do know ????????
thnx in advance
1st thing I'd do is get my stock froyo rom... The one that came on the gtab. reflash that and then try again from there if successful...
You night find your stock rom here on xda or you might need to go further afield like samfirmware. I'd also, if back on stock rom, test to make sure my bootloaders weren't locked otherwise you may end up here again....
bootloadercheck/patch can be found in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071

thnx for the replay but there is a prooblem that happened yestarday my galaxy tab wont start while out of charger but while in charger it shows that pc thingy screen if you may help i apperciate it thnx

Did you check to see if you had a locked bootloader before attempting to flash?
Which rom/guide did you use/follow?
Have you tried the Overcome rom/guide?
Hi there i have a SGS which was running ics on a custom rom working fine
I then wanted to flash the official 2.3.6 os back on it for a friend.
I put the phone into download mode then odin did'nt do anything so i turned it off
now i can't see anything on the phone when i turn on the power key please can i do anything?
Check your drivers on your labtop and retry to put the GS in download mode
Try going in recovery system and do all three wipes...

I can't do anything i cant go into download mode and i cant go in to recovery mode i cant do ****
Any button i press wont do anything to turn on my SGS
I don't even see any backlight

But you can use it only if you are handyman.
Follow this thread :

@drakester20 the utube video that you sent me went back to xda site and said it will only work if the bootloader is workin mine is'nt
and
that method you showed on disecting the phone might be my only option
just out of curiosity could i give it to samsung and will they detect that it has been rooted?
BTW i installed a I9100 flash file on to the odin when i did it which was samsung s2 flash file now i realise what went wrong
Me being a **** head and installing the wrong file.:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

It's easy you just have to make a bridge between two connectors (OMX5 and OMX0) and after you flash a software. If this manipulation can make my phone like a survivor i can do it ^^

Don't worry about that the GS2 has a counter who is incremented when u flash a non official software it's a trick that the constructor used to help the Samsung's technicians to know if you can use the guarantee or not but the GS1 isn't equipped of this system, then it doesn't matter.
so @drakester20 are u saying that i can give it samsung and they wont know and charge mer nothing?

yeah dude.. they wont know ur binary resets anyway.. if u had sgs2 then they could have figured it out in download mode coz there it is written in download mode..
u can give it a try though...
@drakester20 so what did u tell samsung when your phone got briked.
Just found found out that my phone still has warranty till the end of next moth.
What should I say to them?
Should i say i used samsung kies to update then a failure message came on my screen ?
What should i say as I am running out of time and my warranty is nearly about to go?

Yeah I might want to sell it but i've seen some motherboard Resurrections using riff box i wonder some one might quote me for that job?
Hey guys . I accidentally used Rom Manager on my Galaxy Ace and since Rom Manager is incompatible with Ace , it will brick your phone. So if you are reading this and didn't know , then now you know. Anyway , so I was an idiot yeah , but now I want to solve it . 1) I tried Odin , it kept being stuck at setup connection. I have Kies closed . 2)I can't boot at ALL . No Recovery mode no DOwnloading mode no nothing. 3)I don't want to go to the repair shop. 4)If there is really a way I can unbrick my phone without paying money , please share it with me I really need this help and would appreciate it Thank you
Please reply asap , I am really desperate for my items to be back but since I am rooted , I usd Gemini App Manager to force most of my apps to be moved to the SD Card . So if I have to do factory Reset I don't mind. But please help !!!
You can't fix it, if you don't go to the repair shop

Don't scare bro you'll need to repair it because is not only your roms problem. A half-bricked phone only needed to reflash or "odin" your phone will be repaired. But this time your phone's system part might damaged caused by the rom manager and you must go to the shop to repair. If that doesn't work you'll need to change one of the chip in your phone because it's damaged(The workers in the shop will ask you once they find out it's the chip's problem). Meh, just pay a bit of money and you'll get your phone back. Hope this helps!!! Next time becareful and not to brick your phone again.
1) Add Cement and build a house
2) Tell Samsung service centre it stopped working when you upgraded with kies- you know NOTHING about rooting ROMS the rest, just look nooby and sad
3) Get someone to do a JTAG repair on your ace.
4) Buy a RIFF JTAG box (more expensive than ace) and JTAG it yourself
sorry but they are really the only things you can do.
İf your phone doesn't go into downloadmod . Get someone to do Jtag.
By the way , you can try USB-JIG.İt may get your device into download mode.
Ok thank you so so much guys your replies are really appreciated , I guess I'll just bring it to the repair shop since I dk how to use the jtag or USB jig thing
Good, USB Jig doesn't work on ROM Manager brick, but they are nice for resetting flash count and going into download mode, you simply just plug it in the micro USB slot of your phone
if it is not connecting to download mode then u can't repair it by yourself, even samsung service center is helpless, because u have already void the terms and conditions by installing custom roms...

First you search: "How to unbrick Galaxy Ace in forum" and test it.
If not work, you have search in youtube, i remember have clip about this, need computer, cable and more.
But i think you return Samsung or Shop, you lost about 20$ for return Bootloader
Good luck to you.
