[Q] Galaxy Tab not booting, stuck at boot screen, download mode working

My Tab is stuck at GalaxyTab Samsung" boot screen after i try to flash Roto-JMI-v2, before i was running Overcome v1.1.2 rom and [Kernel] [EURO] [1.4ghz OC/UV] MCR EXT4 v12 and it work like a charm. But becurse i deside to sell my TAB i flash back to Roto JMI.
I flash with Odin 1.7 with success, but now it stuck at boot logo.
After that I try many other ROM and flash with Heimdal but no lock.
I have no problem to get download mode, and flash with odin and Heimdal. But I can't get into recovery mode (power+vol up)
I have try almost every solution in the Forum...
What to do next...??

Have you tried flashing kernel only? like the overcome kernel v1.0?
Perhaps that will get you ClockWorkMod Recovery back...and you can go from there.

I try it now, shall i use odin or Helmdall to flash kernel only

With overcome kernel v1.0 it fail in Odin

That's odd. Odin should flash the kernel fine.
Does it give an error? or it just says successful, but you still cannot get into CWM?

It give a error, and I still cannot get into CWM, shall i use a pit to flash

And I have try this....
1.Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
2.Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
3.Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
4.Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
5.Check repartition box
6.Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
7.After this, the Tab will reboot normally. Shut it down and return to download mode.
8.Open Odin 1.7 and reconnect the Tab.
9.In the PDA slot, choose the Overcome Kernel v2.0 tar file for use with Odin. Press start
10.It will flash the kernel then reboot. Upon reboot, you should hear the sexy robot voices informing you of the status of the EXT4 conversion.
11.Once done, the Tab will boot normally. At this point you can load Overcome v1.2.2 rom (or any other Rom of your choosing)
12.NOTE - Overcome 1.2.2 includes v2.0 of the kernel, so no reflashing is required after install.

You are correct - he needs to repartition the sd card, using the .pit file because it was formatted to ext4.
Your steps are great! I do them one at a time with a reboot between each one.

Oops - if you got your rom from samsung you have a locked bootloader. You can continue to flash those updates, or you can use a patch to remove the lock, then you can continue on.
Can someone please paste the link to the patch?

how about the Verizon gtab...
same thing is happening to me on the galaxy tab from verizon... samsung says to send it.. but i dont want to wait two weeks without my tab... thanks..

Stuck in Bootup Screen
I also have same problem,
I flashed a Rom from "samfirmware" and after it finished it stuck on bootup screen, unable to do recovery mode.
only goes to bootup screen or Dawnload .
can you guys help ?

You gentlemen have a locked bootloader. If you search the tab development forum you will find the solution. A member named Chainfire developed an app you download to your sd card, then install it, then run it, and it will move the offending bootloader. I can't get the link here - google "locked bootloader patch" or posts by Chainfire.
When it is removed, don't flash roms with the samsung kies - all those roms have the locked bootloader.

Stuck in Bootup Screen
thanks
but I can not get the tab to load in order to run any app. it is stuck in boot screen. any suggestion ?

You cannot get into download mode? That is power + volume down.
Do you know of the adb program?

stuck on bootup screen
I havent used ADB before.
any other solution?

Stuck in boot loop... NEED HELP..!!!

Just tried to root my fone using CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS and unexpectedly it started showing the " Phone---!---Computer " screen... It won't get to the recovery mode...
But I somehow managed to get it in the download mode and got the stock rom ( I9000DDJV6_ODDJV6_DDJV4 ) finally flashed after getting stuck at factoryfs.rfs like a million of times and after excessive hair loss...
However... Now the fone starts, shows " Samsumg GT-i9000 " screen... Followed by the animation + sound screen with a big " S " glowing in the center of the screen.... it keeps glowing for about a minute and then screen goes black and the animation again starts... on and on and on....
Kindly help me the way out of it...!!!!!

Have you tried to install the stock rom again with odin?
This may repair the boot loop.

Let's get the bootloop out of the way first...
Flash a stock ROM with Odin. Make sure re-partition in Odin is checked!
This should get you out of the boot loop. To root, head over to Chainfire's thread and download the right version of his kernel for the stock firmware that you just flashed with Odin, make sure it's the right version or else you'll be bootlooping again. Example: if you flashed JVT, look for the kernel in his download section with "jvt" in its name. Flash that kernel with Odin (put it in PDA) and you should have a fully functionally and rooted phone with CWM recovery installed.

You should flash the stock rom (or at least the kernel)...and I suggest to use a newer rom than JV6 if available for your country (Newest roms for europe are JVZ, JW1, JVU...)
I use JVU (Value Pack) from sammobile.com...works fine.
For rooted kernel I prefer semaphore (2.5.0).

Infinite boot loop

So ive been using the INFINITUM LBR 1.1.1 for a while, has been working great. However today I got infinite boot loop. Boots to the icyglitch kernel screen, then restarts. Download mode works, unfortunately i can not boot to recovery.
What is the correct solution to this? If i want to use download mode + odin to flash to stock firmware, what firmware should i use (and where can i download it)?
Thanks in advance

Try this:
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]

Before you do that, try flash mnics kernel (it's a tar you can flash in odin)
Worth a shot.

OK so i reflashed to 2.3.3 XWJVH (im in sweden) with odin as per instructions in the post linked above. Worked fine. Writing this for future reference, i guess more will run into this. Thanks

Need some help

I got a i9000m from a friend of mine to try an fix. It boots to Logo and reboots over and over
I am able to get it to download mode with 3 button and Jig
I Odin flashed it to:
Stock 2.3.3 with stock kernal as well as 2.3 and 2.3.6 stocks
darky recovery 10.2 with pit
With and without repartition used.
I can always get into Download mode but there is no recovery despite kernal used - whether stock or CWM -
Bootloader is a question mark since i havent played with it yet...
Im just looking for some solution here...
I hope I dont have a busted internal SD card - that would suck...
Anyone with other solutions?
Thanks

Try and get a hold of Stock Gingerbread JVZ firmware with individual files (including bootloaders)
1. Select PIT (usually 512) ( Check Partition)
2. Select BOOTLOADER (APBOOT)
3. Select PDA (CODE)
4. Select PHONE (MODEM)
5. Select CSC (CSC)
also If you can get a hold of param.lfs , dbdata.rfs and cache.rfs, that would make it a complete fresh setup

Thanks - I got ahold the JVZ stock rom with boot loader and updated as you said but it still shows the logo and loops - no CWM or recovery.
Im not sure what param.lfs , dbdata.rfs and cache.rfs are .. or how they are used ... ?
I appreciate your help guys ... any other ideas?

number of other options , like Ezbase and rescue kit, links on my signature "Collections"

The latest version of Ezbase I could find is 2.0 - the 4.0 on the page is outdated and down - the 2.0 still doesnt work - it just continues the logo loop
I just tried the rescue kit for i9000 from your collections link and it uploaded everything just fine - image - kernal - data - the ifs stuff from the previous post but still - it just continues in the logo loop...
I tried the Dark rom rescue and it changes the boot logo to say darky rescue but then it reboots afterward... Im stuck

You can't get into CWM,? so you must be able to get into 3e or 2e recovery,
1) try getting into it and doing a complete wipe before Flashing, also remove sim card as well as ext SD card before flashing

The issue must be bootloader or boot order... I dont think it gets to firmware processessing ... This is what I have done for i9000m:
flashed:
Stock KC1 - phone, cdc, pda - WITH BOOTLOADER on and repartition checked . this is the latest STOCK firmware for this device
rebooted directly into download mode (as letting it reboot normally is just the same boot loop)
Then flashed speedmod-kernel-k13e-500hz - which is the latest speedmod kernel with CWM
Rebooted into Logo loop again - i9000m then changes to i9000 and reboots
Then I tried
Stock JW4 with CF-root 4.4 JW4 and still boot loop i9000
I cant seem to get to just pats the boot logo to initiate kernel - hence it wont allow to enter CWM
I just tried:
Stock KC1 and Voodoo kernel Froyo (froyo stock) and same as before
Im stumped here guys...
Rico

went back to stock on everything - stock kc1 froyo with stock kernel and tried Darky's Recovery 10.2 -
Still a boot loop ... although it states i9000 with samsung at bottom then changes to i9000 Darky's recovery... if that helps anyone...
sim and sd removed

Repartitioned should only be checked If you are using a PIT file, Suggest you use a stock ROM and Stock kernel meant for i900M with PIT, Bootloader, and get it booting up once its OK, than you can try using a kernel with CWM
suggest you also remove sim and ext Sd card before flashing

Ive done repartition with PIT only and on stock rom - the kg1 i9000m - with stock kernal. It comes with stock bootloader as well.
It still gives me the boot loop, so i try installing over it a CWM kernel to see if I can get into recovery and no go.
I never had a sim or sd card in the phone ...
I use PIT 512 ... is there a different one I should be using? I didnt think so...
