Ok here goes... This is my first thread post here but I am in serious need of help.
I have searched and searched the forums for a hopeful answer but I have found it difficult to find the answer I seek.
So here is the story:
Bought a GT second hand from Akihabara in Japan which was locked to NTT DoCoMo. I was using it as a WIFI only Tab and all was wonderful till my IT brain decided it could be better and I began to tinker.
I had been looking around for a way to make my Australian Virgin Mobile SIM to work on the tab and found a lot of good answers but nothing that would make it work.
I then had the brilliant idea to change the firmware with a European firmware so I could get all the features enabled from a fresh start. Which is where it all went wrong.
I first tried to flash the tab using Odin 1.7 with the P1000XXJK5 euro firmware from samfirmware.com
This failed and left my tab with the picture of a phone and a pc with a dotted line and in between them an exclamation point in a triangle.
After a lot of fiddling (I dont remember what I did but I managed to get rid of that screen had something to do with retrying the flash and it was very late last night at this point) I managed to try again but Odin just kept failing on running the updated firmware.
I then decided that it would be a good idea to run the Rotohammer firmware by following the instructions on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827&highlight=sc-01c
This is where I once again received errors from Odin and now my tab is somewhat bricked.
I tried reflashing but same errors every time. (I currently dont have the errors from Odin but I will update my post when I get home)
I can still get to the downloading screen (Yellow triangle with the Android digging) so I am hopeful all is not lost.
So now you have heard my sob story I will ask two questions....
1. Has anyone actually successfully flashed a Japanese model Tab?
2. My only thought/hope at the moment can anyone direct me to an original NTT DoCoMo firmware so I can at least go back to having WIFI only Tab?
Thanks in advance if you can help

Yes , i suggest you to wait until you get a right firmware for it !
That would probably work if the partitions are a match !
What is this model called btw ?
"NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab" or there is any model ? such as M180 for korean , P1000 , P100 Sprint , I800 Verizon , etc..

Oz the model is SC-01C it has a build date of 2010/12
I was thinking considering I can get into the build/download screen maybe trying an emergency firmware recovery using Kies.
Hi,
I'm a fellow SC01 owner. You can get a backup of the stock firmware here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OJAK2UZF
Firmware code is SC01COMJK2
I believe there are newer firmwares (which I haven't installed as some of them contain a new bootloader that only allows for signed firmwares, same as the international units) that I have seen mentioned on various Japanese blogs. Let me know if you want me to try to hunt any down for you.
As for my SC01, I installed the custom kernel by koxudaxi and it's working great. Mind you, I've only changed to this kernel and apart from that am running the stock OS. I got his kernel here which can overclock to 1.4GHz: http://koxudaxi.sakura.ne.jp/
The kernel I installed via Heindall is zImage_ntt_2. It looks like he's built a newer version though, I might check that out. I think what you might want to do, is in download mode try to restore the above backup to your unit. Look up the Roto Backup thread to see how to do this. Hopefully since you can get download mode, all is not lost. I personally think it's quite crummy that there are different hardware versions like this which aren't interchangeable though >_<
I'm going to give the original firmware a go today at lunch time and I will let you know how I go. Thanks anyways for the link if all goes well I'll look at possibly trying the the koxudaxi kernel.
UPDATE: Well I'm not having luck getting the firmware to flash to my tab I keep getting "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" when trying to flash. I will keep plugging away.
UPDATE: Still getting the same problems using heimdall to flash the tab. Any suggestions as to what I could do next?
Recovering a Docomo Tab
I'm currently running Overcome v1.1.3 ROM and richardtrip's V15 kernel on my SC-01C.

You're getting this error from Heimdall, right? Have you tried Odin 1.7?
Here's how I recovered my Tab using Odin:
1. Following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827, specify the P1_add_hidden.pit in the PIT button and select Re-Partition.
2. Specify the stock Docomo ROM when pressing the PDA button.
3. Ignore the Phone and CSC buttons, as the stock ROM already contain these items.
You should be able to restore your Tab to stock settings using this procedure.
If this doesn't work, you might want to check if the USB connection to your PC is ok, and if everything necessary to run Odin is installed on your PC.
Bugger!
Well thanks for your help all of you but I think I have just made matters worse.
Last night I had success in flashing the original docomo firmware provided to me by zetsurin but I think I shouldn't have included the boot images.
Unfortunately I think it is completely bricked now it now wont turn on and when plugged into power (thinking that the battery had died) it just comes up with a white screen.
I can't boot into download mode and I can hold down the power button till I turn blue in the face... So as Bones would say "It's dead Jim"
Unless any of you have anything else I could try as a last ditch shot I might just have to ship it back to Japan and get them to fix it or maybe try Samsung here in Oz.
Serves me right
Thanks again.

What exactly happened?
The SC01COMJK2 firmware does not contain protected bootloaders, by the way.

I've heard about this happening when the battery runs out. Try connecting the Tab to your PC (not your AC adapter) and let it trickle-charge for an hour or so. If successful, you should see the download screen.
fury1sog unfortunately that didnt work
spoke to the samsung repairers here in Aus and they said they can take a look at it for me hopefully bring life back into my unit and then I will never touch it again
Any thoughts?
Hopefully this post is still being looked at but has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do before I fork out $374 to my tab repaired by Samsung Australia?
According to the repair guys its a faulty board (not an idiot that tried to flash it) and needs to be replaced. Not sure if this is worth my trouble considering I could buy a brand new tab for $599.
There is a positive out of this, the MB will be an Australian MB and I will have a working "Australian" tab instead of the Japanese version.
Considering the unfortunate tragedy in Japan I am not sure I should try and get my friend in Japan to fix it for me.
Thoughts anyone?
I know someone who can unlock it, I have mine unlocked by them.
I was afraid of flashing it myself so I paid to have it unlocked, cost was $20.
I think you better go for the MB replacement, it's cheaper.
For what it's worth, I went to reset my tab to factory using a rotohammer backup I made when I first bought it, and got stuck in a boot loop. So I then used ODIN. Still got a boot loop. Then I tried ODIN repartition... it hung for hours. Knowing the thing was likely bricked I pulled the plug and now I am in the situation as you: I have a crappy icon of a phone + an exclamation + computer image. Dead.
I think the best thing I can do for this junk is to toss it unceremoniously in the bin. Fortunately I also have an iPad which has resumed full-time service.
EDIT: Some signs of hope in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903257
Try "heimdall close-pc-screen" to see if your tab can get kicked back into the boot loop at least. Mine has failed a repartition, but I can still get it into the boot loop, which is a start. Will experiment over the weekend.
EDIT 2: Well my tab is back up and runing. I reflashed my original roto backup using ODIN with repartition on, then I went into recovery and did a factory restore. Back up like stock now. I think I'm going to sell it though, since it's been badly dis-owned by Samsung.

What ROM is best for a SC-01C?
Hi Guys
I picked up a 2nd hand SC-01C from Yahoo Auction, and am wondering what the best ROM to use with it is...
Looks like this guy has got an Overcome ROM on it OK, (http://chaki-ramone.blogspot.com/2011/06/galaxytabsc-01cgingerbreadromovercome.html), so I wonder if the latest version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990) will work OK - anyone tried? (is the SC-01C a GSM-based model??)
I'm not going to use a SIM with it, so I'm not bothered about unlocking - but just want it rooted & want a good balance between speed & battery life. If you were going from scratch with an SC-01C, what would you do? Any suggestions greatfully received!
Thanks in advance?
PS - I'm an iPhone / iPad / Ideos 8150 / Notion Ink Adam owner, all jailbroken / rooted. So I'm not scared about rooting per-se, just worried about trying something that will not work because of anything docomo has done to the Tab!
Acont you could be coma bricked try pluginging it into THE MAINS for at least 4 hours if nothing come up your hard bricked.

So I was retarded and followed the instructions (or started to) on androidadvices dot com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware
My Tablet will not boot past the T-Mobile logo.......... they are being assholes and telling me i need to deal with samsung ......... who told me it would be 6-8 weeks for a replacement........ is there ANYONE out there that can help me with just resetting it???
If you can get to the T_Mobile logo, you probably have a working bootloader and that mean you just need to flash the correct firmware for you device.
In short words, go to samfirmware.com and download the right firmware for your tablet model.
Once you have the firmware, flash them to your tablet with 'odin' (flash software, that you can also get in the mentioned website).
This should solve the problem.
If this works I will love you.
So i am obviously more retarded than I thought pedrohfsd ........ I have an SGH-T849 and i cannot FIND the firmware on that site..... seriously? UGH
pm me i'll tell you what to do , with th stock firmware for Tmobile , i helped someone before 2days he had same tab with you ) and same problem

You sir, are brilliant.
I wasn't able to locate the firmware on the samfirmware.com but I DID find it on XDA from another user. Put phone into download mode... waited till the little box in Odin turned yellow and loaded that badboy on there. After about 5 minutes it was back into the 2.2 OS again. The only problem that I had was with programs that had been installed before and loaded at boot (Just had to uninstall / reinstall) But for the most part its back to the way it was.
Thanks so much for your help!
You too Kosh, as I am sure you were going to walk me through exactly what I fumbled through on my own (I'm lucky I didn't blow anything up haha)
NO more attempts to get 2.3 on this badboy!
Thanks again all <3
I'm glad to hear that KalKainen, the first time i soft bricked my phone i got desperate too.
But after some weeks i saw the inumerous progressions that people develop in custom roms here in xda, and flashed the whole thing again =P.

Amen man..... desprate is about right.. haha... now if i could only figure out why i have to CONSTANTLY reboot it in order to restore network service (Even though I have 3g and full bars... no text messages send / come in and programs that use data error out... ) I would be happy. This has been happening for the last 4 months badly enough that I can have to reset it 10 times in a 2 hour period >.< I cant even put it into flight mode.... but after I TRY putting it into flight mode and then reboot it... it comes BACK in flight mode.... I hoped the reinstall of the firmware would fix it.. but alas..... still plagued. AT LEAST IT WORKS THOUGH!!
Pls.. Could anyone help!
If there's still a way to recover my samsung galaxy tab after i flash it to a rooted gingerbread. I used to have a 2.3.4 version but non-rooted.. I tried to to put the rooted version but unfortunately my tab bricked! And now its totally dead! I cant even go to recovery mode! Nothing.. all dead.. When i push the power on the led light for camera just keeps on turning on and nothing more... Connected to the pc and doesn't recognized! Now im losing hope but to junk it cuz i tried everything....
My tab is a korean version swh something... I don't remember
a i have a little hope that this thread might help me.
Thanks very much guys!!!!
Power button and volume down to go to flashing mode.... You need ODIN and you need to find your stock rom...
Bet you didn't check if your bootloaders were locked... This is probably why you have trouble now... You need to read first, then when you understand it, reread it to make sure....
Thanks for your reply.. U maybe right.. i wasn't able to read everything right carefully.. But do you know how can i repeat the process since I'm using Odin but unfortunately do not recognized it now? What will I do? .............Thank you
do you get anything from the tab after going to download mode ?

Hello there,
I just bought a galaxy note <well a week ago> and now i ended up soft bricking it.
here's how i did it -
I went to my friends place thinking of rooting my phone while he told me to add a custom rom to it . well since he was experienced i let him do it . he added a firmware of i9200(chinese ). well it worked now i found some chinese system applications that i didn't need and while searching on net how to do it i found a firmware of n7000 ics online and decided to flash it in. since i was at home i thought i would be able to do it myself and did what i shouldn't have done. i followed every step they said online and started the downloading of the rom but unfortunately when pc odin was at it's end i mean the end of downloading i actually disconnected the cable ( what the f*** was i thinking) . now i tried to reinstall the same rom but couldn't - pc odin always showed setting up connection or something like this and then stalled for hours ... i thought of flashing some other rom but it didn't - same thing <stalling for hours> . Now what should i do??? help me - maybe i can go to samsung customer care service and ask them to reset my phone but since the usb debugging was on last time when i turned my phone off , kies might not do the job . can u suggest me a way.
one more thing i can't flash stock rom into it and <i am dumb> i didn't backed up my stock rom.
p.s. my flash count is 2 . i can't load my phone into recovery mode but can into download mode and can't do it with a jig (am from india plus i am a little low on technical know how).
i can't hard reset it either. a suitable help would be appreciated ,pls

I have no experience with this, but I did keep this video link on how to put a bricked Samsung into download mode just in case I needed it. The usb jig is the same for both the captivate and the Note from what I have read:
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ung-captivate-usb-jig-video-start-finish.html
If you are able to enter download mode then Just try with different version of PC Odin , like V1.83, V1.85, V1.87. and do not worry about Stock ROM you can always download it from below link.

thankyou guys but i can't use jig since i can't buy it nor am i capable of making one.
Rajan , bro my problem is something different. the roms i am trying to insert in my phone was via the odin i used earlier to flash my first rom. and it went successfully . but last time the second rom i inserted was interrupted during download and am not able to add anymore of them. now i have talked to samsung care and they told me to bring my phone along with the bill maybe they can do it. even though my warranty is done for, but i think i can believe them . yet if there are any other suggestions pls tell me or should i give it to samsung care. I really don't wanna keep my phone rooted so i have no problem flashing stock but it's not happening. CAN KIES HELP?
p.s i have used all 1.85 , 1.87 and 1.83 version no use.

Dont take it service centre.If you do so also dont say them you flashed custom rom.Then they wont fix it under warranty.Dont worry now.
Try different usb ports,uninstalling drivers and reinstalling it and try again.And as you are noob I recommend not to flash ICS customs at the moment.Stay with GB
I say go to your friend first who rooted your phone then ask him to try the various methods given in the forum recovering from softbrick.
i have read in some other websites that i will need a pit file to restore my phone + the rom file while checking repartition and auto time fe: reset in odin 1.83 then maybe i will be able to return back to gb . do u think this is ok for me to do .
p.s i live in chandigarh while my friend has moved to gurgaon so no chance to go to his place. and i have talked to customer care and told them everything. they told me to take the phone to service centre and they will help me.
now tell me what are my options!?

wait . what? what is this red pill and all .. i think you can save me but i would liike you to brief me about the procedure plus i read this - i need a (wipe) rom to be able to reflash my rom or something like this .
p.s i am still downloading my firmware ...
but would be better if i get the info i need before hand!
dude.. don't panic... I don't think ur phone is dead... best is to buy a jig... try on eBay... I got it for 200rs in eBay... I don't think that's a big deal for any one with a note .. I bought it even before experimenting because I thought some thing like this might happen....
its safest way to remove the triangle and get into recovery mode... as somebody else suggested flashing red pill also works ... search in development section for abyss kernel... ull find it...

its a kernel with a custom recovery.Its like CWM(Clock Work Mod).You could find it in the development section.Download the kernel.Could you get into recovery mode by turning off the phone,holding "vol up+home button+powerbutton"?

wenn connecting to Kies at firmware Kies says something like LC1. lb2 (XXX) as product code? if so they have changed the board on the service center and they haven't activate the Pcode on your phone google "Pcode not active" you will find few posts till now only ppl from Germany had it who send their phones to service center via Saturn/Media Markt ist guess it was/is a technician you was sleeping on the seminare/briefing how to change the board on Note. hope it will help you if it is that try to replace your phone, had the XXX Pcode after service center got a replacement. after a month of arguing with the salesman.

Uninstall the Odin in your PC and install it again to see if it works.
i am pretty much sure that they didn't change the mother board. they must have added the firmware that's all as my mboard wasn't damaged at all , it was just that the battery failed when i gave it to samsung people that's why my phone overheated when they charged it and that's when the battery must have been destroyed maybe due to that overheating they must have thought to change mboard (but they didn't cause those engineers must have changed the battery prior to examining my phone for the problem). AND i didn't have pc odin on my THIS pc to start with. it was in my laptop and kies didn't even reckoned my phone there well that's why i installed kies on HERE . i guess service center people can update it the same way they installed this firmware here..... what do u suggest?
AND Braxos Pcode is active --- it's something :
GT-N7000ZBAINU
and no, the current firmware info kies shows is something like ---
N7000DDLC1/N7000ODDLC1/N7000DDLC1/N7000DDLC1(INU)
(now i think they have done something wrong - it's all n7000ddlc1 here. what is this? )
GUYS can u also tell me what does your firmware version shows (just for reference , pls do it!)
p.s my phone is still in warranty since they fixed my phone free of cost plus they also replaced the battery for free . before my phone was sent to service center my phone had a flash count of two yet they fixed it under warranty(yay!).And thank you everyone!
MY ADVICE TO NEWBIES----
If your phone is soft bricked and you don't know what to do and you think you will make the matter even worse then don't do anything to permanently brick it . you guys should go to service center , they might even fix it for u for free just like they did it for me!
Hey guys
first of all thanks a lot for this great forum.
I have a question regarding my new Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (Value Edition) (model number: GT-I8200N).
Is there any way to root my phone? I can't find any info for this model on the internet.
In this thread only the GT-8200 is mentioned. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185700. How is this method working?
I found a guide for rooting the "normal" S3 mini by flashing the CWM and SuperSU.
Is it possible to root my phone this way without bricking it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
wondering

yes i want to know too
Is this phone built on same board as the US s3mini sm-g730a? If so at least you can root it. Dont try anything for i8190.
Sent through time and space from my s3mini/CM11
The specs of the two models look similiar but how can I check which board is in my phone?
Thanks alot for the advice not to try anything for the gt-i9190!

Try this, it roots almost any device.
Hi, i have an i8200L and I did root it with the vRoot. But does anyone know if the others mods for i8190 work for this one? Like ROMs and all that?
I've read that you can't flash roms etc. because there are differences in the software (bootloader?).
The chance that you brick your phone is pretty high.

Brick?
Hi,
first I tried to flash a custom rom and afterwards I read this thread.
There is no excuse for that, i know. But I know now, that i flashed a wrong rom.
Can I throw the Mobile away or is there a chance for it?
My GT-I8200N now shows me just a window with the words "firmware upgrade encountered
an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again".
I don´t know what to do know, maybe someone can help me.
Thanks

That is download mode. You have to chose vol+ to see your status.
To get out of download mode, just hold power for about 10 sec and it will reboot to system.
Recovery mode: vol+ / home / power
Download mode: vol- / home / power (confirm with vol+)
Thanks for answer. In recovery i can not see anything. In download Mode it says "system status: official". But at the top it says "odin mode" Does that mean that warranty is still ok or not?
Is still ok!
Samsung S3 mini i2800L unlocked - hard bricked
Hi All,
While updating my firmware via odin, the update failed and my phone was stuck in download mode , I did a battery pull and now the phone will not come on at all. The computer makes hardware connection sound when I plug it in or unplug it, but other than that I cant get it to respond.
I would like to get a debrick file or a bootlader.img for this model so I can try to boot it from my SD card. Can anyone help me ????
