So I turned on the galaxy tab to come upon a screen with a cell phone..yellow triangle with exclamation point..and computer it will not go past this and will not go into download mode or recovery. Any thing to help me with this please and thanks.
that's the secondary bootloader. If you hook it up to your pc, you should be able to flash back to stock with odin or heimdall.
Ok well I am trying to get it to download mode and I am also looking for the right pit file I am using the SCH-i800 so any help for that.
that is essentially the same as download mode, so plug it into a pc and it should be recognized.
check this thread for the stock VZW info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
Well when I see that screen I hear the computer beep and recognized but I am using odin and not showing a connection is all.
do you have the drivers for it installed?
Yes following the instructions for heimdall now. Will try that instead much simpler
Now I used that and see the battery logo and the screen kinda goes fuzzy and freaks but never actually turns on. What should I try next? Also I accidentally used the wrong pit file so been trying to find the right one for the sch-i800.
you don't need a pit file for heimdall.. and if you used the wrong one for Odin I can only imagine it would be bad.. I know there's a VZW Tab pit file floating around here, just do a search for it..
Yea I have been searching for the sch-i800 with no luck at all just need that to get it working now. Can get into download state fine but not recovery.
So any help here, I turn the gt on and see the samsung galaxy tab and the screen freaks out and can hear the verizon sound but no picture and can not boot into anything and see nothing but black. Please help
Now it is at the samsung boot logo and keeps boot looping, tried to wipe data/cache. It says E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid Argument) under neath says E:check_selective_file:Can't mount /efs. Any help please
Anyone know how to correct this now. Just down to this little bit and I am stuck and really need to get this going again. Thanks

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

Hi guys,
This is my first post here in the forum, usually i just read other people posts and learn as i go, but this time i already tried everything i can't during 5 days and counting..
I have a CDMA Galaxy Tab from Verizon (sch i800) and wrongly attempted to flash the gt-p1000 gingerbread (2.3.3) version from samfirmware.com with odin to no avail.
Now the tablet screen is always black, no matter what. My pc recognizes the tablet when i connect it and i can even use odin to flash other firmwares, but nothing appears in the screen, not even the samsung logo.
My guess is that, by using the gt-p1000 firmware, odin has repartioned my tablet and altered my boot.bin and sbl.bin with the gt-p1000 version. That's probably why my screen doesn't even turns on.
Does anyone has any clue on how to resolve this (without returning to samsung, of course) ?
Also, can a riff box restore my tablet?
* Good news, i got some progression here.. I reflashed my tablet with odin using the rom "P1000BUJMC" from samfirmware.com, sugested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146712&page=3 .
Now my tablet screen is working again but get's stuck at the samsung logo. During the flash, odin getz stuck in the file movinand too.
When i enter recovery mode, the tablet gives me this error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA:
Anyone knows how to get through this error?
push..
Does anyone know how to solve the error?
Considering I did the same thing, I hope flashing the firmware you linked works
From all the searching I did the error your getting is due to the internal sd card either A Failing or B Corrupt data partition
I had a blk0p1 error that was fixed when I flashed Cyanogen mod to the SCH-I800 but then I got another error and that was blk0p2, so can't win for losing. The only fix I found was to partition your external sd card to be used instead of your internal. There are tutorials around here somewhere../
Hi
I was trying to root my Galaxy with gingerbread 2.3.3.
I installed Odin3 and downloaded CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS put the tar in PDA on Odin, restarted my phone, put it into download mode, pluged in the USB, pressed start, and got a failure notice and that there was a Comm error.
I figured that there was not done anything to the phone since there was a comunitation error, so i unplugged the phone and tryed to start it up, but there was only a black screen with a picture of a phone...Triangle with !...and a PC sign.
I then tryed to look on the web for a clue, and someone was writing that Heimdall was so much better to use.
So i downloaded Heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and opend XXJVT_Heimdall.tar in Heimdall, Connected the Phone in download mode and started the prossess, after a few moments i got error in uploading PIT and the whole thing aborted.
When i try to turn off the phone now, notting happens, not even the black screen with the triangle. Its only download mode that works.
Can someone plz help me? im lost!
If download mode works, it's should let u use odin again or not?
Don't worry. Rule of thumb: if you can get into download mode, you're fine.
Download a firmware of your choice (JVS being the newest, I've literally just flashed it). Boot into download mode and flash the firmware. You'll be back to stock. From here, you can install a custom kernel with root.
same kind of issue with me..the only difference cant get into download mode..stuck on the at&t logo..the phone keeps on flashing a white n black screen..any help?
SO I TRIED TO ROOT A VERIZON GALAXY 7 TAB THROUGH ODIN, EVERYTHING FLASHED OK, BUT I NOTICED IT DIDN'T REBOOT.

please help
still stuck in no mans land cant find any solution
Hi guys,
I have spent a few hours reading a lot of stuff on here only to (most likely) stuff my phone more.
First problem I had was it just stopped working for no reason (phone has never been rooted or played around with in regards to flashing or recoveries). It just loaded to load screen (with samsung logo) and got stuck there. I stupidly entered download mode (without knowing what I was doing) and then turned phone off when it said 'downloading'. Then when I tried to go into recovery it just gave me a lot of red writing with a lot of fails.
I then tried using Odin, with a bit of success at first, I put on CWM Recovery and was able to boot into that. Then I tried to flash Root_SuperSU onto it (don't know why, was just trying to get it to boot up past the load screen). After this, every time it loads it goes to a fail screen (white and black lines all over the screen).
I can still get to the download mode but at first I was getting a "no pit partition" fail then tried to use Odin to put a PIT file on it "m3xx_i9305.pit" and now I get the fail message "There is no pit partition" in Odin...
Have I completely stuffed it or can it be rescued?
Thanks for your help, your forum was great when I rooted and put custom roms on my old Galaxy Ace.

When you turned the phone off while in download mode was it connected to Odin? Can you take a picture of the red writing? It sounds kind of like the eMMC chip might have been dead from the beginning of your story before you even did anything.
No it wasn't connected to anything and I can not take a screenshot of the red writing as I can't even get to the recovery mode any more, sorry... thanks for looking in to this.

I was asking whether you could take a physical picture of it using a camera. Is it the one that says "failed to mount.." and then lists basically every partition?
No I can't take a photo of it at all as I can't get back to that screen, it was in recovery mode, but I can't enter recovery mode any more, only download mode.
Yes the text was saying "Failed to mount" and listing multiple directories/partitions.

That's usually a sign of a dead eMMC chip. What error message do you get when you put in a PIT file + stock ROM in Odin with repartition checked?
