If you bricked following an official upgrade, contact Samsung.
If you bricked because you didn't follow a guide properly, or did not know what you were doing, then your mostly on your own.
I highly doubt your the 1st person to do this, and I would take a guess that there exists a guide or method to unbrick.
My advice to you is strangely the first rule of XDA, Search. The information is there, you just need to find it.
Hard Brick?
Is it hard bricked or soft bricked?
Can you get to the download screen by pressing power and vol down at the same time? Or can you get to the computer / exclamation mark screen? If you leave the phone to charge overnight?
That would be soft bricked.
If you can't get to either of those then you are prob hard bricked and will need serious help. But there are people who can help you out on these forums. I remember seeing someone in the U.S. who had a JTAG and charged $50. If you're in Europe that's probably not a solution though!

If you want to overclock or mess with your phone and know nothing read nothing and learn nothing before you start be prepared to throw a dead phone in the bin .
So take your time and read up first .

Hi, I have no 3BR either but I found an app that gives you the 3BR, it's called Quick Boot and is available in the market, hope that helps.
brian.
That app just goes to force shut down all the time
Jj i understand that you can brick your phone. Ive messed with a psp and that took days of reading. Just need to get this 3 button working and then go from there

I restored download mode on my phone using this guide, you need to read it very carefully though, as I bricked my phone on the first time trying (used odin v1 instead of 1.3), luckily if you do brick then you can use the download mode jig.
got it going ha ha now try to find out how to clock this baby
is anyone can help me with that would be great.

better get the reading glasses out. thanks for that
from what guides ive read through they all seem to be for people who know what there doing.
dont get me wrong i build my own computers (not exactly rocket science) and ive flished my gpu and ive flash WII's and psp's although i did have to do alot of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
all seem to be going over my head a little
OP updated with another question. dont want to keep opening new threads. so if someone could help i would be grateful thank you
of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
No all you can do is read whats posted first ..
Noob guides are of no use 99% of noobs dont read guides .
Overclocking most definitely advanced users .
User must be able to recover from bad flash and no how to flash via Odin via CPW update get into download mode and use a recovery jig .

Congrats, You've very likely bricked your Tab. You have a wifi only model which has different hardware to the roms here. In future read before you walk.
Enjoy!

does the pc recognise the tab at all? Sadly TheATHEiST is almost certainly correct in saying you've bricked the tab.
He is also correct in saying that you really should have read the instructions. Yes, really. If you reply and say you did follow instructions, please post a link to said instructions.
The roms are for the 3g tabs.
as far as I know, no one has made a custom rom/kernel for the wifi only tab. Its not the same because your wifi tab has different components compared to the 3g tab.

+1 ..
he remind me by someone bricked his tab because he flashed overcome over P1010 and even there is BIG note in overcome says DO NOT FLASH IF YOU P1010 .. and he replied me back , owh really i missed this
to the OP you see like Stoney says , check if your pc can still recognize your tab , if not , congrats you bricked your tab ... the nearest samsung service center will fix it for u hope u under the warranty , if so , u just say ( what is happened to my tab , i slept at night and i left it on the charger , i woke up i found it like this DEAD ) what makes my tab DEAD ? ? with some action acting with drama , u probably will fix it under the warranty ...
NOTE : this is not the right place for posting Question ...
good luck with SAMSUNG and don't forget the much drama u got the much u'll success to convince them
who agree with me , THUMBS UP

No point in crying, I was been blunt with you because you have nobody to blame except yourself.
If you had READ the topic(s) properly you would NOT be in this situation. You have flashed a software to your device that has a different bootloader then yours, hence you've bricked your device.
If your device is new you should take it straight back to the shop and plead dumb, say you put your device on charge and next day it wouldn't turn on properly. Alternatively say you tried to update it via Samsung Kies.
If they refuse to fix for you then you will need to pay for JTAG repair.
Congratulations, you have learned the hard way, next time learn the easy way and read properly.

+1 my thoughts exactly ..
i tried to downgrade my Samsung galaxy s i9000 with this guide:
theandroidsoul.com/ezbase-ezrom-for-android-2-2-install-revert-back/ (copy & paste in the address bar)
but in the middle of the flashing the ezodin just stopped and got stuck (during the file "factoryfs.rfs")
so i have waited something like an hour and a half but it didn't help so i did what my friends told me and shot-off my SGS then when i tried to power it on again it just stayed like it's off- black screen, wont light, wont go either to download or recovery mod
what should i do!?!?!? even when i eject the battery it won't turn on!!
please help me !!! im clueless and my dad will kill me if i'll tell him
please help me!!! im sorry that i kinda spamming this thread nut i must figure it out
Read this thread. Maybe it might help.

Hello everyone. I'm here to ask you one thing. Premise: I have a Samsung S3 Mini GT-I8190N
Last week I flashed a kernel that my phone is not supported and then it went in hard brick (I know I'm a sucker ).
Then I searched on the internet various guides on how to fix this brick and I saw guide on the JIG and JTAG.
By JIG I bought one but was not compatible with my phone's model and now another that I'm waiting for it to arrive (it should be compatible). Instead of JTAG I saw the various components that serve and the total price close to 130-140 € then I don't want to talk.
In the meantime I get the second JIG I found by chance a guide on how to fix the hard brick without JTAG.
The problem is that there are only three/ our similar guide to another model i.e. on a S3.
An example is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369125
An another example is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166
I'm coming to the point. In these guides are listed several things which are necessary and the only thing I miss is the debrick image.
I tried getting on google a debrick image for s3 mini i8190/N and there is nothing.
Exasperated, I always find by chance a guide on how to make this debrick. image.
This guide is here: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f60...samsung-debrick-files-only-bootloader-1885507.
I do everything it says and the program tells me that there isn't ATF box which would be similiar a Riff Box for JTAG and this also costs about 110 €. I leave it alone.
After all this I ask: is there another way to create this damn debrick image? Or has anyone found a link to download it?
Or someone know how to fix this damn brick without SEND IT IN ASSISTANCE?
Meanwhile thank you!
P.s. sorry for bad english. I'm a italian guy that know very little english
