Sorry for the thread title, but I really dont know how to explain my problem in a few words.
First of all, I´m brazilian, so sorry for my bad english (also, Google Translate is helping me lol).
Well, a friend of mine asked me to unlock and make phone calls possible on his T-Mobile Galaxy Tab (T849). He brought it from US a few days ago.
After a lot of searchs, I found a thread about exaclty what I wanted to do.
I did exactly what is told there and it worked! I even made a call to myself!
But then I tried to update the Tab to Gingerbread 2.3.3 from samfirmware.com
And my problems began.
Skipping the whole process to not bother you, the last thing I did was flash the TMobile Stock Rom with Odin. But now the screen just wont turn on! But I know the Tab is working! I turn it on and I can hear the boot sound. I press the unlock (on/off) button, slide my finger to unlock the Tab and when I press the touch buttons, the Tab vibrates. And also when I press the volumes buttons, I can hear the volume increasing and decreasing!
When I turn it off and try to boot on download mode, Odin recognizes it and when I try to flash a ROM, Odin does it and the Tab reboots, but the screen remains off. When I boot it on download mode, the screen doens turn on, I know that it is in download mode because of the "Added" information on Odin.
Does anybody know what might be the problem?
I know I screwed up everything when I tried to update.
Anyway, I tried everything. But nothing works.
Thanks in advance!
Well! Problem solved!
Just flashed 001001-GB-stock-safe_v5!
The modem switch will work with the new gingerbread too. Just set out up the same way.
To root the gingerbread you have to flash the CF-Root v3.3 kernel. If you don't, the gscript won't work.

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

almost the same thing happened to me. how ever mine will not turn on at all. it gets warm when it charging and then cold when the battery is dead. i have it sitting until it drains.
i am waiting to hear from Samsung. I will keep you posted.
Can anyone out there help. I tried to load overcome's rom and it passed all the steps, and then the screen just went dead
Try to power on together with volume down bro. Lets see if the android image with broom will pop.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Hello, I tried to install a firmware page samfirmware.com my samsung galaxy EUR tab is P1000. installed with odin and all was fine but now the tab does not turn.
Can someone help me?
Thank you and sorry for my bad English.
Can you get into download mode? hold volume down and power.
the screen does not turn but odin detects tab
Thanks.
Connect your usb to the power socket. If battery icon appears then there is hope. It seems like a display problem for me. If it doesnt your display might have issues. Try reflashing with odin and see. Also noob question did you flash with correct firmware for your device. If it still doesnt turn on it might be a hardware issue than a software one.
No battery icon appears. But if I connect to the laptop the odin detects the Tab. I put the wrong firmware.
Thanks.

If odin still able to detects it, then there is hope. But this procedure will wipe your tab clean, even internal sdcard!
Now, go to here and get Roto JMI FULL ROM + P1_add_hidden.pit.
Once you've done it, put your tab into download mode by:
1. Turn off your tab without plugging it into anything;
2. Press and hold Power + Vol down till your tab is on;
3. When you see android shoving picture, it's in download mode.
Plug your tab to your pc, launch odin. If it shows up, put P1_add_hidden.pit in PIT field, Roto-JMI-Full-v2 in PDA field. Check "Re-Partition" & "Auto Reboot". And let it flash. Your tab should be able to boot up now, with root installed, and future updates will not need to go through kies.
REMEMBER: DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY FIRMWARE FROM SAMFIRMWARE.COM AS THEY CONTAINS LOCKED BOOTLOADER! Once you get above procedure done and able to boot up, then report back, still have things to be done
The installation went well but the tab still does not connect. The screen remains dark.
Thanks.

Dark as in you still able to see anything on the screen or it wouldn't even turn on? Cause for tab, if battery power reach 10% or lower it will remain dim(as in without backlight, but screen is still on.
The screen does not turn. It was so because a wrong firmware installed. But odin recognizes the tab. Is there any possible solution?
Thanks and sorry my bad english

Start up sound working as well? I thought after repartition and flashing new firmware should make things back to life. The tab never accidentally dropped before right?
Not to sound. the tab never fell. became so after a firmware update with wrong.
Thank you.

Without screen, I can't really help much now. If even charging through wallplug without showing battery icon, I believe your screen is basically defective, perhaps you needs to send back to samsung for a screen replacement since it's still new
i had the same problem before and i panicked. but all i have to do was to
1-flash Roto-JMI-Full-v2 with ODIN (No PIT and No Repartition)
you will get no touch screen after doing this
2-flash the stock ROM with ODIN (with PIT and Repartition checked) again and it will work
Where can I get the stock ROM download from?
Stuck with the same problem. So downloading the Roto-JMI-Full-v2 image. But not sure where to get the stock ROM from.
For me,
I am able to get the battery on the screen when I connect the usb.
I am able to get into the downloading screen by pressing the power + vol down.
Odin detects.
Odin gives me a "Pass" when I flash with Roto-JMI-Full-v2.
But after that I still cannot get in. The Screen is stuck on the Galaxy Tab with samsung logo at the bottom.
Any help would be great since I cannot do anything with the Tab right now.
Think I have bricked my Tab - HELP
Just got myself a Tab P1000. I try updating software using Odin3.
I think i have misused the wrong firmware not for P1000 (stupid), when Odin3 is running gonna finish, it showed FAIL! So i disconnected my GT although the download mode still running.....(stupid again) n I manually off my GT by continuing pressing power button wished to reflash by proper firmware.
As i reconnected it to pc again, although i tried to turned it into download mode again from off mode and i failed, Odin still can detect it. As i tried to use proper firmware to flash it, when it gonna finished, it showed FAIL again!
Now the tab screen turned off and it won't turn on. I tried to turn it into download mode or recovery mode but it couldn't be. I think my wrongly flash has made the buttons all mess up their function. All I have is the LED light on permentanly. If I hold the power button for 10 secs, the LED goes off for 3 secs and then comes on again.
Can anyone help me sort this? Any suggestion pls? Urgent!
Thanks a lot!
What firmware did you flash? I only ask because I know I once flashed an I9000 bootloader on my Captivate and it changed my download & recovery combo to I9000's however they still worked once I used the proper combo (I know extremely lucky)
If bootloaders have been wiped and replaced with wrong bootloaders then its back to samsung with your tab for (hopefully) warranty repair...
Send back to samsung is my last choice, beside this there is no more solution??
my tab it was in same condition, check this forum and you will find solution. i give you what it works for me.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081800
good luck!!!
Dude!! It is worked!!!!
OMG DUDE IT IS REALLY WORKED!!!
Once i really think my GT have to send back to samsung...... but i have the last try of your suggestion, IT IS WORKED!!!
IT IS SO AMAZING N UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Thanks alot dude!!! You save my SGT!!! n my pocket!!! Thanks~
This solution is really useful n amazing!!
Any1 has same situation can try this!
Thanks again dude~!
Hello everybody this is my first post and is a problem as always i already search in other posts and i didn't find my problem some similars but not the same i hope you help me guys so my problem is that after trying to flash my T-Mobile tab to gingerbread stock rom 2.3.3 odin gave me an error instead of the pass in green
1) the screen didnt respond anymore - so my instinct is to forcely reboot by pressing power+volume.
and so it was successfully rebooted but still no function from the LCD and menu buttons but the power and volume is working so
2) I've tried to run a force reboot again but same scenario happens the menu buttons lightup and i can hear the samsung song when its booting and even i can hear the volumen buttons when i turn it up or down but my screen is black
3) After giving my TAB a good rest chargin it all night i press the power button to check the screen but the screen is not showing anymore only a black screen
4) Instinctively i've try to repeat the process from STEP 1 -2 until i've decided to quickly restore and factory settings because it might be cause of a software conflict but nothing
So it on but the screen its off when i plugg it to the pc with W7 odin recognize the tablet and i can flash it, so i flash it to to 2.2 froyo and it finish succesfully and even reboot the device and i can hear the samsun logo again buuuuuuut!! the screen is still black whitout any sign of light in it but the button are lighted up and the volume works
Conclusion:
I've suspecting the power button is damaged, LCD has been damaged, virus thru the OS(FROYO 2.2).
I still dont understand what happen to it, i dont know if i can take it to samsung because im not from the US im from mexico and i bought the tab in El Paso Tx, i hope you help me guys. Thank You

heres the T-mobile modem: http://www.multiupload.com/0K7XSXOPBQ
please help me rafaeker19 i have same problem my model is latin america tab (P1000N/L)
what ROM did you flash? 2.2 or 2.3 or 4.0, that is Froyo, GB or ICS.
You are likely using P1000 kernel which has wrong digitizer driver for the L/N series.
If GB or ICS, go to
http://www.humberos.com.br/p/kernel-p1000l-p1000n.html
and download the correct format.
Hello everyone!!! Noob here! So, I'm having a really bad problem... My SGH-T599N (or Samsung Galaxy Exhibit from MetroPCS) has been bricked. Long story short, after finding out nothing works and stumbling upon Odin3 v3.07, I plugged my phone in (in Download Mode) and loaded a [.tar] folder in the[PDA] criteria, pressed start, and all that was shown was...
View attachment 2946077
Nothing else happened, so I unplugged my phone, pressed power button, but only the Black Screen of Death shows (says "Firmware Upgrade Encountered An Issue. Please Select Recovery Mode In Kies & Try Again"). Now, I downloaded Kies, but the problem with this phone is... THERE IS NO SERIAL NUMBER! I looked on the back in the phone, not there. I looked on the battery, and there it is! But.... It doesn't work (either that or it's not it, though it has "S/N:" and the numbers by it, but it still doesn't work). No now, I'm just in a terrible place. Plus, if I press Down Volume + Home + Power, I can still go into Download Mode, but I still have no idea where to go from here and what to do. Somebody please help me!!!

Don't know if you still need help but assuming you never replied to the other person's post eh I'm assuming you figured it out. If you didn't though I should first say that the galaxy exhibit 4g and the galaxy exhibit are two different phones. Also the official stock firmware for our phone hasn't been released by samsung for some reason so there's no way to go back to complete stock unless you make a backup. Here's a link for a pre-rooted stock rom though that you can flash through odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489238
Same Problem here but I am not sure how to use ODIN ?
