[Q] HELP HELP !!!! Looking Odin upgradable firmware

Hello all,
Bought a galaxy tab. And flashed it. With bad firmware.
I can set TAB in download mode.
So with ODIN I should be able to flash.
Can someone PLEASE!!!!?????? link me or tell me where to find A FULL EURO rom or P1000 compatible rom. That can be flashed with ODIN

Try latest Roto ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360, its okay for Euro Tab...

make a accout here, and you can choise the official firmware.

Samfirmware
Did that flashed and TAB boots and hangs at the SAMSUNG logo.
edit : DId a full whipe did not resolve hanging at the SAMSUNG logo
Used Jk5 with that. Downing Jk2 now.

Why would u recommend this? Don't u know that they have locked bootloaders? People who don't understand stuff shouldn't be trying to help. Now he's gonna need to use the bootloader fix which has risks.

Only if he flashes one of the JMx series.
Flash the Rotohammer JMI firmware, it's a _complete_ firmware with the locked bootloader removed. If it doesn't work then you've either done something wrong (start again, read instructions carefully), or you've got a locked bootloader.
If you've already tried flashing a JMx firmware and are now having issues then you'll need to go back to whatever original firmware you had and then run the bootloader fix, which as long as you pay attention to the instructions is unlikely to be an issue, get it wrong however and you've got problems.
Also - this is not a development related question, should be in the general subforum.

TAB Dead
Tab is 3 days old and dead.
No recovery mode,
No Download mode,
only a blinking logo (screen of and on) that looks similar to the downloading logo when in flash mode when wall charger is attached.
No live indication or responsive s.
Indicates this a RMA to samsung service center.
Never had A flash or root problem of this kind before.
just the on of screen. If in wrong Category I hope some Admin might want to move it to the correct position.

Ok so you can give me a direct link to flashing boot of tab please ?

If it won't even get into download mode then there's nothing you can do to fix it, you'll have to take it back to the shop. Any fixes require being able to boot into download or recovery mode.

Perhaps you mean the logo is phone at the left, middle is ! pc at the right, it's also a download mode, which you can flash thru odin, just flash with roto's rom, and do a repartition.

Basically if odin still able to detect your tab, it's not totally dead yet, if your tab's display is like what I mentioned above, just get roto's rom, AND MAKE SURE CHECKSUM IS CORRECT! Before flashing.

[Q] Bricked NTT DoCoMo Japanese Tab

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
Alex

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..

I am searching the an original NTT DoCoMo firmware.

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.

[Q] [i9001][RESOLVED]Odin stuck in flashing KQB

So a few hours ago, i tried to flash the value pack (XXKQB) ROM on my Galaxy S Plus,it started normally but sort of freezed on ˝setupconnection˝
The phone was still in download mode,and after about 20 minutes of siting there,restarted the phone since nothing was happening, and it´s safe (for now ).
It should look like this,right?(see attachment)
__________________________________________
WRONG VERSION OF ODIN heh,silly me

looks like the pic didn´t upload succesfully

I have no idea what you are doing . How did you set up Odin? did it detect your phone? Have you closed all Kies applications? You could post a link to the thread you got the download from... (Did you ask the thread where you got the download from?) Why is there only one file? Is it meant to be like that? (I know some roms can be zipped/tarred so you only need one file but is this that sort of file?)
The list can go on and on. Please provide more information... What is the status of your phone now? Can you boot up to your home screen or are you stuck at soft-brick screen? I ask this because i don't understand what safe means. I would consider a soft brick safe because i know what to do when i have one... Re-flash!
So to that image. I am assuming this is how you set up odin BEFORE you connected your phone. I would suggest tick re-partition, this WILL factory reset your phone. A suggestions not always necessary, read the thread. If you are on GB already then i don't think you need to. Also usually you are still required to have a .pit file. (I haven't flashed via odin in a long time, so things may have changed) Check you don't need one.
Finally sometimes when i flash via odin, it get stuck i think at the same point you do. I have to unplug and take battery out. If i boot up i get two symbols with a line of some sort in the middle. In this case i go back to download mode and re-flash and it flashes correctly this time.
Sorry for the long message its just the more information the better and quicker people can help. Hope i helped, if not please provide as much information as possible

Help Please I've Bricked my Samsung 8.9 wifi tab

Hi All
Today I thought I would try to install Jellybean on My tab, I am a total nube at this but thought I could follow the tutorial. First I rooted my tab, then tried to backup the tab but it didn't work and then I thought what the hell I'll just try it.
Now it just shows the black and white Samsung Screen and won't turn off.
When I go in to the Android System recovery a message shows - /cant access to ‘system/csc/XEF/system/
I've tried using Odin and all seems good but I can't get ClockWorkMod to appear on my tab.
I bought my tab in the UK but it got shipped from France so has default language setup in French If that has anything to do with it.
Please help, I've tried following some threads on here but some of it seems to be out of my depth. Could someone explain in simple terms how I can get my tab back to normal?? It would be very much appreciated. I'm so annoyed at myself :crying:
Thanks in advance
Mike

Seems like you dont have root for some reason... there is a all in 1 guide in general section, u might wanna check that out... then install CWM and after that a new rom after installion clear dalvik and data.

I've noticed that their is a CSC file option on Odin, I'm also in the middle of downloading the stock rom P7310XWLA2 which is the French version of the ROM.
So when it has downloaded should I try to find a CSC file as well as the PDA file to send to my tab?

Luckily I've never had to use ODIN with my Tab, however back in the days on my SGS I used it a lot.
So just a few things: you don't have a CSC file, because your tab is a Wifi only model, so don't worry about that.
Also, be sure to tick the re-partition box on the left if you are using a pit file (which at this state you should), this should repartition your internal SD and thus have a clean install.
Good luck

Thanks, but i've got it working and I'm not gonna mess round with it again.
Can't believe i finally got it working!

[Q] BootLoop Problem PLEASE HELP! D:

Hey guys, ok so im superrrrrrrr new to this. Iv had an iphone and blackberrry half of my life and im just getting into the android world.
Point of the matter,
i have a galaxy ace, s5830m
just bought it a couple days ago here in venezuela
and everyting was running smooth, i really liked everything
since i sort of know about jailbreaking and all that stuff from having an iphone
i started reading up on how androids worked and managed to root my phone with out a problom
being that im a custom fanatic, i figured i wanted to update my gingerbread os to a ics using a custom rom from
cm9
this is what i did...
I downloaded the zip cm9 file,
loaded it into my sd card
went into recovery mode
and clicked update from sd card (totally forgot to clear cache and wipe/factory reset) as it was stated in the guide i was reading..
Anywhoo.. The instalation of the rom went fine, it said it installed correctly and with no errors
so i rebooted the phone, afterwards as it stated on the guide and boom!
Bootloop...
the phone is stuck on the samsung galaxy ace s5280m screen and wont finish booting up
iv left it like that for more then 30mins and nothing! Iv done several batter pulls and reboots and nothing
i went into recover mode and tried clearing cache and doing the wipe and rebooting again
but nothing! Its still stuck in the loop!
I did some reading and figured id load a stock firmware using odin hoping this would fix the problom
so i downloaded the latest one from my country from sammobile
downloaded the drivers
the cooper_v1.0 file
downloaded odin v4.38
did everything as the guide said but now odin isnt wanting to work,
i opened it as a administrator, i loaded the cooper file,
but when i want to load the single tar.md5 file..(the firmware)
it totally crashes on me, iv tried several times and it always crashes at the same point
iv tried on 3 diffrent computers and iv tried diffrent odim versoins and it always crashes at the same place!
This is when i started to worry, so i downlaoded samsung kies, to see if i can do a firmware update from there thinking itd be more reliable but now my computer doesnt want to reconize my phone
i can enter both download mode and recover mode having only the clear cache/factoryreset/and reboot options available.. Im really freakeddd out being that i just got this phone, and i feel pretty stupid i should have never done anything to the phone...but if anyone could help id really apreciate it!
Im desperate and i dont want to take it anywhere, cause im in venezuela at the moment
and i dont want to end up paying another dude a bunch of money to fix something that cud be fixed with some easy steps.
So any help is great!

I think that:
The s5830M is the same as s5830i
The s5830M is NOT the same as s5830
That might be your problem. I may be wrong but it's worth looking up.
If I'm right you will need to change Cooper file for correct one for your device. Also correct ROM too!
If I'm wrong, then, sorry.
Search more before you take any action. If you can get into download mode it can usually be fixed the way you are doing it but with correct files.

hmm

Ok i can look that up,
i kind have the same feeling,
being that the models are always divided as such..
So your saying (if this is right)
i need to find the Cooper File for s5830i
AND the ROM
and Odin should work after that?
The thing thats worrying me, is that all odin is doing is crashing on me,
but im going to look for another cooper file
being that the rom is especifcally for s5830M already
thanks for your fast response
im going to try this and get back to you...cause i really want my phone back D:

You need odin 1.85 i think, not sure.
And yes, 5830i and 5830m are compatible, but roms for 5830 and 5830L can brick your device.

ok

ok so i did some investigation
after you told me about the models not being the same and ur right
i and m models are the same
and they only work with odin 1.85 as yu just said
and supposedly
only full package roms work not one package roms
and as i kepted reading in a spanish form,
there arent any ICS custom mods availbale for the M series
the only roms they run are the original stock roms.
so i guess i can forget trying to load a custom ICS rom into it
if this all works as the spanish forum explained
ill get back and confirm everything

ok so i have everything ready now,
but now my pc doesnt want to read my phone wile its on download mode
it will only read wile its on boot loop mode
and the only thing that happens on odin
is that it says ADDED!! (wile on boot loop mode)
but it never says my phone is reconized like its suppose to..
and when i click start.. nothing happens..
anyway to get my pc to reconize my phone on download mode?
or am i doing something wrong?

Maybe ask on the 5830i general thread?
I don't have the same phone as you so I don't really know what too suggest besides asking other people with the same phone as you.
