Ok obviously at this point I didn't fully understand what I was doing and if you feel it necessary to berate me further feel free, I will consider that payment for any help you may be willing to give. Now on to the issue.
I tried to odin a GB rom onto my sprint tab and lets just say it didn't go well. Odin showed failed when I did this and the tab went from the download screen to the "download error screen". Now the tab won't power on and when I plug it into an outlet with a wall adapter the "error download screen" flashes on and off every minute or so. Any help would be appreciated, I have gone through the stickies at the top of this page and tried to use the "Soft brick" recoveries mentioned in these threads for the sprint related tab topics. The tab won't turn on when unplugged from the wall and Odin doesn't see it when I plug it into the pc. I find very little on the net through google on this "error download screen". Thanks
So, a few questions....
1.What type of tab do you own, GSM, CDMA or wifi only?
2. Did you unlock your bootloaders?
3. What was the rom you tried to flash for, a GSM, CDMA or wifi only tab?
I've flashed my tabs quite a few times and never had trouble, aside from the occasional bootloop. You need to find out what version of tab you have, read ALL instructions and stickies to make sure you know what you're doing or your lovely little toy will become an expensive paperweight...
If in doubt, ask... You will receive an answer but make sure you have read up on what to do, just saying "How do I flash this thing" will get you flamed....
I don't have a CDMA tab or wifi only tab so I might not be able to help much....
I believe it will be one of these 2 as you have Sprint in your sig as a carrier....
Thanks for the reply!
1. It is a CDMA tab SPH-P100 (Sprint)
2. I did not unlock my bootloaders, I bought the tab from ebay(used) and noticed it had superuser so I figured I was good to go.
3.The rom was labeled: "[SPRINT] Stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 EF17 ROOTED ROM" I figured that it would be ok. Link to thread with rom.

hi i loaded froyo (i9000ugjl2) on galaxy tab, but now it doesent come on. the flashlight at the back stays on and flashes sometime. wot do i do?
We need WAY WAY more information than that to provide assistance. Lets start with:
Tab Version (Wi-fi, GSM, CDMA)
Carrier
What you did/how you got to this point. PRECISELY, and step by step.
ok i have the tab p1000 cdma. i loaded t-mobile via odin on saterday, but that was not my default rom. i googled froyo and found ( I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC ) file and it said froyo download.
after loading it with odin (pda) the tab switched off and the flash stayed on.
If I'm not mistaken, I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC is for Galaxy S, not Galaxy Tab. loading this ROM into Galaxy Tab can damage the device's board physically.
Not to mention the t-mobile ROM is GSM, and you have a CDMA device.
You bricked it, twice.
*edit* Pretty sure you wont get any 3 button combination to work, but in the off chance, try putting it into download mode... If it goes, you have a chance... If you can't get it into download mode, it's toast.
ok it looks like i can go into download mode cuz if i conect to odin and start it dosent but if i hold volume down and power it seems to work i dont think i have the right software to laod to the tab.

You need to reflash back to stock, I'm a GSM device owner and know very little about CDMA tabs, but if you do a search in the development forums for "CDMA Stock" or something similar you should find what you are looking for.
If you can access download mode, I don't believe it's beyond repair... Just do your research on this forum before flashing anything else, and always do it before flashing a device for the first time. Search is your friend.

First thing's first, don't keep on trying to do something until you are sure of it. It might drain your battery.
hi guys
ja i have given up on this tab. i downloaded (P1000ZHKC2_P1000ZHKC1_P1000ZZHKC1_HOME) and loaded it on tab. it loads then reboots but still no luck.
the flash still stays on ......... im gona c if i can do a insurance claim then get the tab 10inch. unless some1 can come up with a way on how to do a hardware reset. (formate via hardware)
I have been trying to get the clockworkmod on my galaxy tab so I can flash the EXT4 kernel and the overcome ROM but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do the clockworkmod. I've tried searching everywhere for instructions, this site, google, youtube, and I've had no success in understanding how to do it for my tab, let alone finding where to download the clockworkmod file that I need. I have dialed *#1234# and *#7465625# to get the info of my tab, when I dial the one number it says for everything is off and when I dial the other number I get this info, PDA1000JPJJ1 Phone1000JXJJ1 CSC1000OJPJJ1. I have no carrier that I'm using just running it off of wifi, but if I ever decide to buy a data plan it will probably be with at&t. A friend of mine bought me the tab from afghanistan he told me it was unlocked. I know I have a slot for a SIM card. Just trying to give as much info about the tab as I can cause if what I'm reading is correct you have to install a certain clockworkmod depending on your tab. like I said I just am not understanding how to do this or where to get the files I need. I have rooted the tab and I have the ROM manager and ASTRO file manager apps downloaded and I've tried just tapping on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in ROM manager then tapping on Reboot into Recovery and when that happens it pops up in the reboot screen but the text is still green and I believe what it said was it was installing files for clockworkmod recovery but would never finish so I'm assuming I did that wrong. Could some one please help me with this I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to do it? that are too many different post about how to do it and one person saying do it this way while the other says do it this way and I'm not grasping how to do it properly without messing up my tab, it already keeps freezing up on me from time to time and i have to hold the power button in and restart it. Please any help I'd appreciate, Thank You.
Just follow the guide in the overcome thread. Its a pdf file you download and print, with very careful instructions.
I did things in a different order. I flashed the overcome kernal, which did the ext4 reformat, and it installed CWM.
Just in case you havnt found the thread, it's here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932082
I suggest you print the pdf file and follow it STEP BY STEP.. mark each step you've done if necessary..
Goodluck!
So, decided to update my tab to whatever kies offered for my UK GSM tab.
What a mistake. Freezes, hangs, need to hard reboot it every half hour. Also, now i cannot make ends with all this bootloader malarkey. Can i reflash it ? Which one to reflash to, etc...
Tab initially was P1000XWJMI/P1000XXJMA/P1000CPWJM2 and i got it rooted.
Now its P1000XWJP9/P1000XXJPZ/P1000CPWKP1 and i cant find how to root it, which kernels to use before custom-rom'ing it.
Too much conflicting info and no info specifically about JP9 on a tab...
Help ?

I had a more complicated version of this. couldn't format, couldn't mount, nothing. My tab showed this, I tried flashing several different kernels/roms/cwm, everything, nothing. Actually made it worse. It got to a point where when I powered on, I only got the backlit softkeys. A few times I got a weird image I've never seen before. Something about bad or unknown upload mode (with a little droid in teh corner....should have taken a picture). And finally I would get nothing; HOWEVER, if I plugged my tab into my laptop and gave it a few seconds, ODIN would see it. I could try flashing a kernel, but it would never process, just hang at the first step so....
with the tab plugged into the laptop and ODIN showing a connection, I would hold VOL DOWN + POWER until I see it disconnect (this is evident of a power down since I have no lights to indicate that). Once it disconnects (yellow box disappears) you can let go of POWER but do NOT release VOL DOWN. It will reconnect shortly thereafter. You are now in Download mode (whether or not you actually see anything on the tablet. You can test this theory by flashing something. What fixed it for me? I downloaded firmware from samfirmware.com. Specifically I downloaded JJ7 v2.2 (full file name I used was P1000XWJJ7.rar) I think what made the difference was using all 3 files. I did not use a PIT file, I put P1000XWJJ7-REV03-ALL-CL669843.tar.md5 in the PDA box, MODEM_P1000XXJK5_REV_00_CL690077.tar.md5 for Phone, and GT-P1000-CSC-MULTI-OXXJK2.tar.md5 in CSC. I did NOT check repartition. Now, this was after I had tried several things like flashing PIT by itself, different stock kernels, full ROMs, etc.... This was the final step I took. Now I'm back to normal.
I'd be interested to see if this solves anyone else's problem. I am so thrilled that I just fixed my "bricked" tab (no power, no response, no apparent charging even) that I'm hoping my time and effort can help someone else.
Let us know what happens. I am actually scouring the forums now because I know at least 2 others were having similar problems as I and maybe this will help them as well.
BTW, I did lose EVERYTHING on the internal SD, including all my backups. Thankfully I always made backups to External
P.S. I should mention it is an AT&T (GSM) Tab.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think your version of galaxy tab is different with mine and I am not sure that it will work. I am really desparate for solution. This disaster started when the tab's battery is low and suddenly off and when it's charged and turned on it bricked
Point being, tabs are tabs. You will need to use the same procedure, but a different ROM that is designed for your tablet. Go there and find a ROM. There is a thread about unbricking your tablet, I think in the Android Development section that should have a link to samfirmware.com and may provide you with a ROM version that should work. something that may help: plug your tab into the charger at least overnight. I used the stock charger and cable and charged it for 12 hours or so. I did not get any indication that it was charging since the screen and softkeys would not respond, but it did charge.
Of course, I look back and I think you have an indicator, but still a good idea. Try it anyway. Can't make it worse, eh? Mine seemed hardbricked, but it wasn't. I was real close to taking it apart before I found something that works. I believe, IMO, what really fixed it is flashing ROM (PDA), Modem, and CSC files all at once. It could have been something else, but that was the last thing I did before it finally booted.
Go to samfirmware.com, create a free account, and sign in. Then go here (I think your tab is a P1010, correct?) http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1010.htm
and Download this:
1010XWKC1 ## MULTI - CSC - OXXKC1 P1WIFI 2.2.1 2011 March DOWNLOAD
(click on DOWNLOAD)
Unzip that file you just downloaded
Start ODIN
Hold VOL DOWN and plug in tab to computer
I believe 3 files should be in the .rar (you can use 7-zip to open, Google it)
the MODEM file goes in Phone.
the CSC file goes in, you guessed it, CSC
last one is PDA.
I think I just rewrote instructions that can be found in the Galaxy Tab Bible. lol. This is what I would do. It worked for me.
Password for P1000XWJJ7.rar
Gentlemen,
I've downloaded both P1000XWJJ7.rar and P1010XWKC1_OXXKC1 to fix my bricked tab, but both require a password to extract the archives. Does anyone know the password? Has anyone had the same issue? I doubt it, otherwise i think it would have been addressed. Any help is appreciated.
I'm having the same problem were you able to fix it?

try sampro.pl
see if that works.
I too require the passwords to be able to extract these files if someone would be so kind.
Copied straight from SamFirmware.com. It is right at the top of the download page.
try both of these... seems it could be either one of them

do a quick search of the dev thread for EA24 and you should be able to find the original SPH-P100 files. then you can find the EB28 and EF17 updates as well to get all the way to the official GB release.
tried the suggested file still get the error that the OP got in the first screen

ok, no one likes a bricked device so let's see what we can do to help you. tell us where you are with your problem. by that i mean what model do you have, what rom were you running, what did you do or try to do that bricked your phone. i'll keep an eye on this thread looking for your response and we'll go from there.
I have the sprint p100 model room was stock rooted gingerbread.
I mailed the Tab to my brother when he got it tab battery was
completely dead and after he charged it and turned it on

thank you very much for helping me!!
can anyone help?
I have the T-Mobile version of this, but here's a guide and download files to recover your stock ROM. You can follow the entire guide if you want the Overcome ROM as well:

Downloads:

Good luck!
NOTE:
Sprint modem is not listed, but you can fix that later. If you can get it to work with this guide & using the last modem file, we can go from there.

Hey guys,
In a bit of a pickle at the moment. I grabbed an S1 off a friend to try and teach myself about rooting and flashing custom ROMs and such using Odin. With the final intent getting it to run ICS. Not a very hard challenge, but evidently it is for me.
I'll explain what I did, and if you can help without investing too much of your time I would be very grateful.
When I got it, it was running 2.3.3, all the tutorials I read told me to update it to 2.3.6 before doing anything more. I managed to root the phone easy enough, no issues there. But when I tried to put 2.3.6 on via Mobile Odin, (which I used to flash my S2 to ICS, long story) it had seemed to freeze on 'flashing flash kernel' for a good 15 or so minutes.
Being the daft monkey that I am, I exited the program...by removing the battery (don't judge me please). When I went to turn it on, it wouldn't load past the "Samsung Galaxy S" screen.
It goes into Download mode fine, and I've tried to flash an abundance of different Gingerbread ROMs onto the phone and Odin has just been getting stuck on the "setup connection" every time I've tried to flash.
I have tried using different USB ports which is readily suggested by most people and seems to work, using my laptop instead, different cords as well. No luck. Nothing happens when I press volume UP + home + lock like it used to, so I can't even factory reset or anything =\
I did find somewhere that suggested adding a PIT file to Odin and selecting repartition but every one yells at each other when 'repartition' gets mentioned, lol.
I hope this is in the right place, please bare with me if I used any wrong terminologies, I am relatively new to this.
Has anyone got some suggestions that may help me with my problem? =\
Thank you!
Taylor
sigh...here's my recovery kit, unzip, read .txt file, proceed

No problems, was teasing ya! You will end up with root and custom recovery, if you then go to slim website and read and follow installation instructions you will then have lush ics
