Bricked Galaxy Tab? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I tried getting into recovery via ROM Manager, and the tab just stopped operating. Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.
So far I've tried reflashing to stock firmware with Odin via Download mode, but no luck. The thing still sits on the Samsung logo.
I don't know if this is apart of the soft-brick symptoms, but everytime I plug it in to charge, I get a white screen instead of the usual battery icon.
Please advise! I don't mind running through the steps again! Any advise would be appreciated!

first, do you own a Verizon/Sprint/Latin America?
If yes, check the files and use the correct firmware and kernel.
If you own a unlocked Galaxy Tab flash the stock gingerbread. You can find it in the download section
in overcome page (p1000.teamovercome.com)

I currently own the T-Mobile version, p1000. I just saw the teamovercome page. I'll try it again through their instructions. Fingers crossed!
Thanks for the reply!!

If you can not into download mode there is a way to fix it. Download mode shows the triangle with android digging.

I think you need to flash a new kernel. The times I have been stock at samsung logo on the tab it was a kernel issue. Hopefully you can find the kernel that goes with your rom...if you can odin is your friend. You are not dead yet.

Hello,
did you get your GalTab back? I have that(?), a very similar(?) problem too... so I'm interessed in a solution...
Thanks!

[HELP] SPH-P100 Sprint Galaxy Tab - bricked?

Posting for a friend -
I have a SPH-P100 Sprint Galaxy Tab and I have been stuck @ the Samsung logo for a few days now. It seems to boot as normal (samsung animation and chime) then pulses the samsung logo for a while then eventually the pulsing just stops and sticks. I have flashed to every Sprint rom and kernel available and still no luck -_- but what I do know is that when I enter adb logcat while it is booting it shows all the apps i had on the stock ROM trying to start or install. I'm not sure how but all the games and apps are still there on the internal sd/nand or whatever it is called. All the 3rd party stuff i bought etc, please help my tab is stuck -_-.

Search for the no modem DJ30 file in here. That's important. Flash it with ODIN in the PDA section. Do not flash anything else. That should fix any issues you have, I hope.
Here's the link http://www.multiupload.com/WDKOUJSM2G download that. No need to repartition, so make sure it's unchecked.
You can also try to get to the recovery either vol up or vol down + power and format the device.

[Q] Help ! My tab p1000 hangs on samsung logo

For about a week now my samsung galaxy tab p1000 keeps freezing on the samsung logo screen and every minute ore so vibrates very short.
No matter how long i wait it keeps like that . Ive tryed the reset from the recovery mode (powerbutton + volume up) but no luck. The tab is still on a stock fw 2.2 i believe. and no root or anything.
Im very new on the whole rom stuf so some help is needed on how to restore the tab. I havent flashed it or anithing. Also it gives a error like in the screenshot below:
You should flash your tab and install a new firmware that's the only solution

oke i figured that much yesterday, when reading some topics, but wich rom do i need to use?? because i dont know how to root the tab because it wont boot ore is rooting not a must?
dude... get the latest 2.3.3 firmware...
you may check www.samfirmware.com to see latest firmware for your deivce. If you are in ASIA region, look for JPI edition. Its good, fast and stable.
Use ODIN to flash, with REPARTITION ENABLE... once complete flashing, reboot, and repeat the FLASHING again... DO IT TWICE..., but REPARTITION ONCE only...
Do i have to fully boot between flashing, or after first flash straight to download mode?

to play safe, let it boot.. but you can skip the configuration and shutdown and go into download mode..
Oké gona try it when i get home

Im at your same state. My tab hangs on samsung logo and lets me to download alone. I can help you with the drivers part. Im sure you have the Kies in your system. Just push the on button and connect your phone to the pc and run Kies. You have an option to troubleshoot which will update the drivers for your phone. This worked for me. For the rest of the part, there is a chap who is helping me on this forum and he advised me to go for stock ROM. Ill try that today after sufficiently charging up my phone.
I ve been searching for a while now and looks like this is common and nothing much to worry about. Ill keep you posted on what happened on my attempt to odin flash the stock ROM.
Hello friend, my tab is back and working fine now. Hope tried connecting kies to get your driver up for the tab. Once its up you can get to the download and flash stock rom using odin. This would bring your phobe back to life.
I am currently running on overcome experience rom. Its pretty good and they have great instructions on their site. Try that you should be all set.
Best of luck.
I have the exact same issue. I've been trying to flash a Euro 2.3.3 for the last 5 hours. Anything special you did before I create a new thread? I've done this a billion times on my old tab....I just got this one today off ebay.

Can you be more specific on the state of your G-Tab?
What firmware were you using before the problem occurs?
if you are updating from proyo, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs. For your reference you can follow these following steps (given you can access download mode).

[Q] Help: Flashed the bootloader of my Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with the wrong binary

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000. Using Odin3 v3.04 I (accidently) flashed the Bootloader with the wrong binary. With the Auto-Reboot option selected on the Odin3, the device turned off and is not turning on again.
Before flashing, my Tab had the official Samsung GB 2.3.3 (P1000JPJPC if I am not mistaken).
Some threads suggest that I charge the Tab using the wall charger for 4 hours, and see if the battery icon appears on the screen or not, then connect the tab to the PC. I did that. I connected the Tab to the wall charger overnight. Nothing appeared on the screen. Then the next morning I connected the Tab to the PC, nothing happened. The PC does not recognize that there is anything connected on its USB port.
The Tab is not turning on. I've tried to press (and long press) almost every combination of the Tab's keys I could think of, but the Tab just won't turn on.
I guess I hardbricked my device (as explained in this thread)
I don't think I'll be able to apply the Unbrickable process explained here.
Having said that, my question is: Is there anything else I can do at home to revive my Tab, or do I need to send it to Samsung repair center?

I think you brick it.

If you've completely killed your tab, what can be done to fix it. I have a similar problem with my tab in that it gets to the screen that says samsung galaxy tab and then stops there. I have been searching the net and have rooted the tab and then tried to flash firmware but i am struggling to get the tab to read the ext sd card with the firmware on it.I don't really know my way around this type f thing but have to figure it out because I can't afford to take it in to be repaired right now. Advise will be appreciated.

Your problem is different from OP.
Can you boot to download mode? Can you boot to recovery, if so which recovery (stock or cwm).
Ave you tried Overcome method , as in my signature?

Hi Priyana,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, as far I could tell from reading up on it, I would guess mine is not bricked.
I can boot to download mode and to recovery - cwm (v3.0.0.5). I have tried downloading Overcome and anything else I thought might work but this is where I get stuck. I've wiped the cache and other things like that described on the net and on videos (actually this is what got me into this in the first place). When I copy a .zip file onto the external sd card and put it in the tab, I can't install the zip from the sd card because it can't find the directory I made. I'll have a look in your signature and see what I can find there but any guidance would be much appreciated.
Komplotter,
Yeah, I am not sure about cwm 3.0 accessing external SD.
Try using overcome restock, jump to page 7 PDF.
Flash stock, then overcome kernel.
That gives cwm 5.0

Hi,
I managed to get CWM 5.5.0.4 and get ICS installed in my tab by using two files (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS and P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ). I would still like to use Overcome and I have had a brief look at the installation guide. I'll have a more thorough look and then give it a shot. I see that there is a version 4.1.0. Would I use that in that same way as the 4.0.0 ROM, because the Overcome7_ROMv4_Wipe file won't extract (there seems to be a problem with it and I've downloaded it twice).
You don't need the overcome ROM.
Just GB stock safe and overcome kernel.

[Q] Still dead after Unbrickablemod

I performed the Unbrickablemod hardware modification the other day with a friend. We did it and it showed up as the dev board. I can successfully boot it into download mode and use the one-click install in the thread. (Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312391)
But that's where I'm stuck. Heimdall performs the one-click successfully, but my Tab doesn't boot up, and the screen stays off no matter what. I saw someone having a similar issue in the main thread but they didn't post again. Someone else posted that you can get the power strip light up if you unplug it and press the power button a couple of seconds, or if you plug it to the wall charger. Both worked for me too, but I don't know where to go from here.
Any help is appreciated.
can you boot to download mode?

I can't, any key combination with the power key just lights up the touch strip. Nothing on the screen.
what is your device model, any chance you have flashed a wrong firmware into it after it was resurrected?

It's a GT-P1000 and I used the one-click Heimdall suite provided in the OP. I also tried Turkish firmware I downloaded from samfirmware with heimdall command-line tool. (1.3.1) Still no luck. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I wonder if you can still make the unbrickable to kick into dev mode again?
And use GB-stock-safe-v5 from overcome instead? (link in my signature)
it is a complete JQ1 (Italian) rom.
Oh, download mode via Unbrickablemod still works, I guess that's the only beacon of hope that keeps me going. I'll try it once I get back from work. I can't use it if it's in Italian, but the important thing is getting the tablet boot up and enter the recovery on its own, right?
It is European ROM, it has English.
But it is stock. If that boots, it is resurrected.

Finally got some time to work on my Tab.
I got the files, didn't know how to use them with Heimdall since the tutorial was written for Odin. Extracted all the files and followed Heimdall's usage. I guess I got something wrong, but magically, the screen came up showing the "Downloading" screen. Then it rebooted into the infamous glowing Samsung logo bootloop with vibration.
I'm now trying to go into download mode, if anything comes up I'll post about it. I have no idea how it worked but now I know I didn't bust the screen somehow when I performed the hardware mod. Thanks!
Edit: I can get it to download mode by itself. Now I need to find a PC with Windows to try Odin. Shucks.
By the way, I tried flashing Technomancer's kernel provided in the Cyanogenmod wiki to instal CM directly, but can't boot into recovery. I guess I need to complete Overcome flashing, then try flashing CM. Does that sound correct?
Edit: Thanks to this tutorial, I have successfully managed to flash Overcome and I guess CWM is also installed. My Tab is finally revived! I'll keep you up to date with the progress on installing Cyanogenmod. Thanks for all the help!
Aforementioned tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34692020
I kept following the Overcome manual, managed to install Overcome kernel and now I got CWM working! It's backing up current Overcome installation right now, I think I'm doing it right.
Edit: It's done! I got CM9 on my Tab and it works great! (Kinda. No official CWM sucks.) But it's great. I'm happy that I turned my Tab back from death. Thank you so much.
Glad it is revived.
Yeah, I am quite dismayed that cm wiki doesn't recommended overcome kernel when it is obviously the one that works best.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
After all the headache I endured, I really wish they'd written a more through wiki entry for Galaxy Tab. But Overcome works like magic, and after flashing Overcome, Cyanogenmod installer zip easily flashed newer CWM versions. It's up-to-date and works great. Thanks again! More people should know about Overcome.

You bricked your device. If you barely got it call Samsung and ask for an exchange
i have checked the wiki there is ntn in there about looping samsung only looping tmobile.. and also this is how i got it from my friend dont knw what he did to it...
It will also loop only Samsung without a rom, but there should me text somewhere stating "No OS." somewhere, maybe download mode says it.

Go into download mode, if you get a message saying no OS, try flashing one from recoveryif you can reach it or Odin to stock.

You can always try the flash to stock Odin file. If that doesn't work then I'm out of ideas.

You can always pull the battery and then put it back in and hold the power button and volume up and the home button.
