am sry if this is a repost i actually searched but couldn't find a post ,
well i flashed my galaxy tab with gingerbread 2.3 everything seems fine but the only problem is that the internal sd card memory just shrinked to 209 mb instead of 16 gb plz any help would be appreciated
Let's see if I can help you, but first can you provide more details on what actual version of GB you flashed and how you flashed it (ODIN or official signed zip)?
first of all i tried the honeycomb by spacemoose1 and after the reboot just got a blank screen so i then flashed this file P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar with P1_EUR.pit as pit file which should have gave me the gingerbread and it does but the 16gb just shrinked to 209 mb
from where u got this pit file ? is not for this rom and for ginger
u need to flash stock froyo with pit to solve this bloody issue and then pleas use one of samfirmware.com gb roms without pit file as inside the tar "rom" there is pit file
chhers
Sort of what I was going to suggest...

thanks bro for ur advice , but all am confused of now is finding the right froyo stock rom with compatible pit file , cuz don't wanna loose my tab for another foolish trial , may u help me on this , and thanks in advance
i got this link hxxp://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/all-samsung-galaxy-tab-froyo-22-and.html[/url] but it has a lot of versions and firmwares am i supposed to choose one of them if yes , according to what am i supposed to shoose it ?or just anyone of them will work ?
i think that P1000JPJis wat i need since am in arabic region, will it b fine to flash this version of froyo ?
Personnally I would go for the P1000XWJJ7 (not the NEW) which appears to actually be JJ5. I found that Kies actually recognized this as a valid version.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
so u prefer that i go for the P1000DDJJ5 P1.PIT Version 2.2 October 2010 ?
is this wat u meant by (not the NEW)?
On the list from the link that you sent there are two XWJJ7 roms - I recommend the 1st one; I've tried them all and this was the best one with an unlocked bootloader.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
ok after i get the rom what is the best way to flash it ?
open odin, load it in the pda area , check repartition and hit start , after finishing wipe the cache and do hard reset from the recovery mode , that's it ? don't i need to load a certain pit file ,
also i've been told that pit file is used to repartition the internal memory of the tab so wondered if there a certain pit file that can repartition my tab
Yes, except that you should use the associated PIT (P1_add_hidden ) file for that rom as that was probably what went wrong last time - the internal memory wasn't partitioned correctly for the GB release.
did the whole process as k0sh said still the same problem ,the firmware is working perfectly and smooth btw i realized the device memory (1.19gb ) is intact and working all the problem in the USB storage memory instead of being12.8 gb it is 209 mb
Did you flash a stock Froyo release together with the associaated PIT file and with Re-Partition ticked, using Odin3 v1.70?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
ya i did exactly what u r saying but unfortunately still 209 mb :S:S
Mmmm.... my next step then would be try and flash a safe stock gingerbread rom as provided by the Overcome development team. Don't flash the overcome rom itself (unless you want too) but just flash the safe stock GB to see if it returns your onboard SD memory.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
and that's exactly what i did and it solved the whole sh*t , thanx man for helping throughout this issue, and of course thanx to the overcome team for such rom
Glad to hear it, enjoy.

Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade my firmware through Kies, as I've just connected and it's alerted me that I am now able to upgrade to PDA:JVN / PHONE:JV1 / CSC:JV5(OPS). I am currently on PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4(OPS), but when I click on the upgrade, it will pop up with a window that looks like it's downloading the firmware, but they disappears as quickly as it appeared, and my phone then needs to re-connect to kies...
This appears to be an infinite loop, without ever really getting anyway. My phone is rooted if that matters, and I don't think I have any lag fixes applied? I know I have applied lag fixes before, but I think I've since flashed with the stock 2.2 firmware, so there shouldn't be any lag fixes going on... :/..
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or how I can better debug this problem?
Thanks in advance

Using Kies, may be
If you have the 3 buttons combo, prefer Odin...
Kies is Satan Tool, its a big cup of ....
if u want do upgrade use just and only ODIN
Thanks for the replies..
I would much prefer to use ODIN too, however I don't want to loose my installed apps and how I've got my home screens set up etc, so this is why I was trying to use Kies. I'm not familiar enough with ODIN to know if there is a way I can use it to upgrade without losing installed apps and home screen layouts etc??
Thanks
Denno
Well i think if u backup ur apps then u can save them otherwise i dnt think they remain on ur phone while using the odin is simple.
just go to www.samfirmware.com make an account and chk the firmware sec in toolbox and then select ur model and download the latest formware...JVR is the latest firmware on samfirmware download it and download odin extract that downloaded folder and u have 4 file 1 pit file 2 code 3 csc 4 modem.
Now open odin and put these file respectively ( dnt forget to close kies if u have even from running services on windows) now put ur phone in download mode and connect through odin and tick the repartition on leftside and then start odin...
Of all goes well u r on stock GB
wait phone to phone to boot
now choose any kernel to root ur phone and again turnoff ur phone and get in download mode and choose that kernel in pda option of odin and this time unchk the repartition and start odin
now ur rooted

thanks for the reply Ali Khalid... I'm looking on samfirmware, but I'm not able to find the Gingerbread firmware version for Australia? I downloaded I9000XWJVN ## under the 'America Australia Samsung I9000 Firmwares' heading, but that only had a tar file, with a heap of files I didn't recognize..
Any chance you could give me some more direct help? Like exactly which one I should download for Australia? Looking at the country letter code, which is DT for Aus, they only have firmwares for 2.1 and 2.2...
I'm really lost with this upgrading thing :/..
Can someone please help? I need to know which firmware I should download from samfirmware for an Australian I9000...
Thanks

Is there a specific reason you need Australian version? You can flash any firmware you wish.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
There isn't a specific reason... I thought I would have to go with the Australian one to be sure that calls and stuff can connect to my phone through the network correctly? I'm completely lost with all this stuff to be honest...
If I don't have to get a specific Aussie one, which one should I download? As I mentioned earlier, I downloaded one called I9000XWJVN ## but it didn't have the pda files and pit files as expected.. they were all different things :/..
Im running JVS 2.3.5 (with JVR modem) I haven't bothered to flash an Australian/Optus csc but i guess you can if you wish. I did have to add APNs but that is no big deal.
After that you might want to flash a non-stock kernel for root, lagfix etc. I am running semaphore 1.7 and stock+ theming for extended power menu, %battery crt off etc.
Keep in mind if you are going down this route you will be voiding any warranty you have but ask anyone here it is worth it to make the most of your phone.
Do some reading around the forum and ask any questions you need so you know what you are doing.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Thankyou for your reply Mrlwik, but it's gone totally over my head. I really don't understand any of that.. I have flashed stuff to my phone before, but it was easy because I already had the 3 required files, and there was a step by step..
I guess I could just pop over to the custom roms sub-forum and download one from there and give it a go again..
Do I need to get a special modem or csc file or something to make sure it'll still work with Optus?

Sorry I was really confused once too, I will do my best to break it down a little.
You don't need a specific modem for Optus although different modems will give different results depending on your location regarding signal, 3g, gps and battery (due to signal strength) its quick and easy to change modem and this can be done anytime (through CWM recovery) without any data loss.
CSC is a bit different, although you can use a CSC that is different to your location/carrier it basically denotes any specific apps and APNs. CSC can be changed with odin but will factory reset you phone and you will lose data.
-APN details can be found with a quick Google search and can be added no problem through settings>wireless and network>mobile network>access point and as I don't care for carrier specific apps (apart from "my account" but the .apk for that easy to find) I haven't bothered to change it. Others do find it important.
I know the stock 2.3.5 JVS from samfirmware will contain the 3 files (code, modem, csc) and the .pit file for flashing because it is what i flashed.
Or alternitavely there are a few custom roms that can be flashed through odin regardless of what firmware and bootloaders you are currently running.
Some firmwares/ROM only have one file and it can be flashed under PDA. There are guides for flashing on samfirmware(for stock), here and video guides on YouTube. Always stick to the guide.
Decide what direction you want to take (stock with non-stock kernel or custom rom) and read up on some of the topics in the general section about flashing and/or any topics relating to any ROM you want to flash.
Once you know what you want to do with your phone it will mean much less reading for you and others will be able to help you more as you will know what questions to ask.
There is lots of info here, its just a matter of knowing what info you need and how to find it.
Hope that helped a little..

If you phone is rooted download titanium backup and backup all apps before flashing, then install it again after flashing and restore only apps.
Wow thankyou so much for that breakdown Mrlwik! That does actually help a little! I'm going to find a stock firmware from samfirmware instead of a custom rom.. But it's great to know that I can swap modems to try and find the one that best suits my needs, as I do have problems with reception in my house, so maybe a new modem could fix that?
Anyways, thankyou again, and great effort and writing all of that with your phone! It definitely helped
Well I finally took the plunge and flashed my phone. I used the JVS firmware, which worked seamlessly. Then I wasn't sure if I were still rooted or not.. so I downloaded Dark Core (or something), and flashed that in PDA using ODIN. Then I was definitely sure I was rooted . Now I've just got to figure out a 'lag fix', my quadrant score at the moment is ~1400, but I reckon I can get much better, so I'll try some overclocking apps from the market I think, see which works best for me.
The most painful thing is restoring all my apps using Titanium Backup.. I have to click install for everyone of them, it doesn't automate it, which is so very annoying, but I'll get there eventually :/... lol
Thanks for all your help Mrlwik, very greatly appreciated
I had a similar problem with KIES in South Africa.
I don't use KIES any longer, it doesn't even have the "connect to internet" option.
Since you've rooted your device, I'm sure you have Clockworkmod flashed...if not, flash that using Odin. After that, you can flash any ROM, custom or stock, using clockworkmod recovery, then you don't require Odin again...just copy the ROM or apps you want to flash to your phone, boot into recovery, flash, and restart. Can't be easier than that.

Which country are you in?
Canada and my galaxy note was brought from Germany so i don't thing Samsung Canada will cover the warranty
Which firmware have you tried? I'm guessing with it being a german note in canada you are gonna need to use european firmware?
This is the one i've just used and i have just come back from using the Chinese leak myself.
Is your note the 16gb or 32gb version? Check to make sure you're using the correct pit.
Open Odin 1.83
Connect your phone in download mode
Use the correct .pit in the PIT tab
Unpack the file you downloaded and put the Unzipped file in the PDA tab
Make sure re-partition is ticked and press start
All should be ok
Once done you can root and CWM with the links in Dr Ketans sig and you're away
its the 16 g
it did not work there was no pit file with the link you gave me and the pit i have says 32 g and i dont know where i can get a 16g pit if there is such thing

@ nuklearmonkeyuk: I am searching for a 32 GB PIT-File for rooting my Note (32 GB). Can't find such at all . Are you shure it exists?? All my searching failed, only found 16 GB PIT. Found a Post that said it don't care. Can you help me please ??
Edit: want to root my Note using Chainfires TUT, so I have to downgrade to KJ1. Dowloaded it, it's a "3-Part" one (I think) with a 16 GB PIT file.

Hi guys , i did something stupid , i double wipe my n7000 running a 4.0.4 rom. At the first it stuck at the factoryfs.img when i trying recovery it by odin . Some body tell me to restore the PIT and PDA on odin and i did it ,now my phone can works as usual but thats something wire ,internal memory become 8Gb!!! It should be 11GB !! help
there is no cure for this unfortunately. just use a bigger capacity external sd card. that is why those with brick and those who have warranty are advised to go to samsung service centre instead of the pit method
And if your silly self read the pit recovery thread it states this. Duh
So now if you want flash original pit and rom have it get stuck and give it to samsung to fix. Or if your warrenty is up leave it as is.

There's every chance stock roms will face regular fc's on system apps and launcher too depending on where the damage is. If this is the case, best to flash cm based roms as they are much smaller in size. If you've got warranty, get it repaired.

Current PROBLEMS:
1. Force Close Box Shows at start-up.
2. After Start-up maximum programs r shown on menu but not run. (example-air control lite,aldiko ebook, allshare, angry birds etc).
3. Internal memory is anyhow fixed(1.4 gb used, 12.4 gb free), not deleted anythings, no pasted on it, not formated.
4. Restarting Several times in a day.
5. Outgoing Call is ok but incoming call is not OK. when a call is made to this no, only a ringtone is heard for 1 second and then the network signal is vanish, then after a few second the network come again.
6. Mobile tracker is on, i can not off. i dont know the 8 digit code.
Solution i HAVE TRIED:
1. Flashed by ODIN with Froyo(2.2.1), Gingerbread(2.3.6, 2.3.4)(PIT, CSC, PDA, PHONE).
2. Flashed by Heimdall with GB and Froyo.
3. Format internal SD with PC by USB storage, BY Phone Settings, By CWM recobery option, By normal recovery option, by PC with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 7.1. Also tried with Convert to rfs/ext4 by cwm speedmod karnel. BUT I CRIED and crying, no result, old files r back as king stupid.
What should i do? I hope there will be the right person who can solve the problem. BUT i dont know who is THE BOSS.

You can try flashing a jellybean or ICS ROM. That's not a solution, but a good workaround.

Yes I will agree try to upgrade your firmware to either custom Rom > ics or jellybean..
If problems persist then you might have hardware or software problems..

Odin is only used to flash stock ROM eg froyo, gingerbread
To flash ICS or JB you need working memory, because you flash from recovery.
Not long ago I had a problem with my phone. Only stock ROMs worked, ICS and JB bootlooped and I couldn't use the internal memory. I saw it in file managers and Windows, but I couldn't create our paste any file onto it. It turned out to be faulty internal memory, which just died. I gave it to a Samsung repair centre and after 2 days they fixed it.

Then it gave me wifi issues to i decided to flash it back to 2.3.6
and i accidently used 8gb pit file,
& the memory shrunked to 3.97 GB,
i tried using 16GB pit file with the same reset files ,
but it gave errors when its was first booting up in the copying files linux part,
and i thought it had some error in firmware,
then i tried to flash same 16GB pit file with original JB 4.1.2 firmware,
then it gave unavailable storage device memory, & unavailable memory card,
tell me a solution on how to get my device back on 16 GB pit file,
give me a full tutorial
Thanks in advance
