[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab blank screen after flash attempt

Hi,
Please help. I tried flashing the Galaxy Tab with some firmware on samfirmware.com for North America and not sure what happened but now the Tab is completely blank and not responsive. When I connect the USB to the computer, it does recognize that the Tab is connected though. Please let me know what I should do to fix this. Thanks!!

Is it possible you flashed the wrong FW? After flashing was the tab able to reboot?
Try wiping cache and do a factory reset. Volume-up+powerbutton. You will see in the middle of the screen a little triangle. Then push the volume-up button again. Then you will be in the recovery-mode. There choose wipe/cache and the wipe-data/factoryreset.
If that not helps try flashing another FW. The Rot-hammer i.e.

Fixed it!
Actually, somehow I fixed it now. There was nothing on the display at all. I could see from Odin that it could sometimes try uploading the firmwares. What I think worked was I pressed the Home + Volume Down + Power to try to bring the Tab into download mode and then I pressed Start on Odin immediately to try uploading a different firmware. There was no display on the Tab itself so I was not sure if it was actually in download mode.
Anyway, I'm glad it's working fine now.

Can you please tell me what firmware you used?
The same thing happened to me, but the problem continues after trying several different firmwares.

please tell me what firmware you flashed...please im stuck and depending on what firmware i flash i can hear it start but still blank screen

Same black screen
I can get Odin to recognize my tab, windows 7 can see it and I can flash to it, but the screen is black all the time.
Has anyone had any luck?
What do samsung use to fix this? I've seen a repair/service program from ZTE for some of their devices that I believe was procured from an employee of ZTE. Maybe there is something like that around?
<edit>
I also flashed a rom from samfirmware, so I guess the issue is a locked bootloader from a stock rom. Anyone know how to fix this?

I too am having this issue with sawfiremware image.
i can can tell i am in download mode but i am unable to flash the EA24 firmware.
Anything that can be done?

Thank you!!
My Tab's screen won't turn on at all, even when plug-in, even that Odin said that flash was successful. But after connecting it to PC with Odin opened (Odin recognized it), loaded all files needed for flash in Odin, I pressed HOME+Volume Down + Power, the device auto-dismounted from PC, and reconnected again, I pressed start in Odin and after finishing updating firmware, the screen was working again.
Good luck to everybody! I'm happy now

what firmware did you use? thx

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.

I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.

I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...

Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?

Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.

Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.

now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today

@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "

HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?

press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

[Q] My GT is dead! Help!! Urgent!

Think I have bricked my Tab - HELP
Just got myself a Tab P1000. I try updating software using Odin3.
I think i have misused the wrong firmware not for P1000 (stupid), when Odin3 is running gonna finish, it showed FAIL! So i disconnected my GT although the download mode still running.....(stupid again) n I manually off my GT by continuing pressing power button wished to reflash by proper firmware.
As i reconnected it to pc again, although i tried to turned it into download mode again from off mode and i failed, Odin still can detect it. As i tried to use proper firmware to flash it, when it gonna finished, it showed FAIL again!
Now the tab screen turned off and it won't turn on. I tried to turn it into download mode or recovery mode but it couldn't be. I think my wrongly flash has made the buttons all mess up their function. All I have is the LED light on permentanly. If I hold the power button for 10 secs, the LED goes off for 3 secs and then comes on again.
Can anyone help me sort this? Any suggestion pls? Urgent!
Thanks a lot!

What firmware did you flash? I only ask because I know I once flashed an I9000 bootloader on my Captivate and it changed my download & recovery combo to I9000's however they still worked once I used the proper combo (I know extremely lucky)

If bootloaders have been wiped and replaced with wrong bootloaders then its back to samsung with your tab for (hopefully) warranty repair...

Send back to samsung is my last choice, beside this there is no more solution??

my tab it was in same condition, check this forum and you will find solution. i give you what it works for me.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081800

IT IS SO AMAZING N UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Thanks alot dude!!! You save my SGT!!! n my pocket!!! Thanks~

This solution is really useful n amazing!!

i guess your gonna download a firmware on 2.2.1 and flash it..........but i recommend 2.3.3 firmware..try it on mine the ......!....... but still odin detects it......2.2.1 is old try AOKP for are tab....best rom

First, which tab is yours.
Edit: from your pm you indicate P1000.
OK, I sounds luke a broken record now but here goes.
Have you had a look at overcome method.
You need to flash GB-stock-safe-v5.
Sometimes even when screen is blank, it can still be a download mode.
So, be sure that it is charged (using original wall charger).
Then ready Odin and the files in proper places and pre connect the tab to PC.
Then boot to download mode and quickly flash using Odin.

one click unbrick tool in attachments (you need java installed for this to work)
i now have to flash cw and install that jellybean rom right away.

What about a Tab P1000N? What can be done with that one?

One Click Unbrick (by Adam Outler) is not a P1000 specific software.
It should work for P1000N too.

If you prefer a stock rom without or a modified stock rom with root you could flash a 2.3.6 Odin Rom. That will update your complete system and reset it to the default values.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... in download mode, phone just reads what's sent via usb cable and installs it. If it's not working I would say it's the hardware that's broken.
