tablet won't start after installing custom rom - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a rooted galaxy tab. I recently just installed a custom rom and after, it doesn't boot anymore? It only stucks at the boot screen. May I know what's the issue here? Is it a brick or something? Any helps appreciated. Tks!

it sounds like a soft brick, which isn't too bad at all Just switch your tab over to Download Mode and then flash another ROM that is confirmed working on your device.
A hard brick would be if your tab didn't power on in any way at all no matter what, and that would be pretty bad :/

Hi, tks for ur reply! Do u mind telling me where to download those roms? Tks once again!

Hi! I managed to get my rom on samfirmware.com and even flashed it via odin. But one thing, it managed to go the boot screen but then it doesn't move at the "samsung" glowing screen after that. Did I do anything wrong?

Your best bet will be to restock according to Overcome method.
Find Overcome thread in dev forum.

You may have a corrupted /dbdata. If that's true, no matter how many new ROMs or firmwares you install, it won't help you.
This should take care of your problem:

Hi! Tks for your advice. I just read through the restocking steps on the teamovercome.net. But I've got a question. Is it compulsory to actually install the overcome kernel and rom?

I installed overcome kernel with many other rom before moving to redpill (because of bluetooth keyboard compatibility). It works great with most of rom 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 base. Don't hesitate to try the kernel with other rom.
Btw, did you try pushing new pit file through odin?

I haven't tried this process yet cause I am curious whether if its necessary to flash the kernel and the rom. But since its good, I will try it later! Tks btw.

do you want to reflash froyo overcome? Or return your tab back to standard, any case, you should be safe if you do a Odin flash back to a rotohammer froyo, then the froyo rom of choice, just follow the overcome instructions but switch the roms for what I said
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
i wanna make my galaxy tab back to normal, just like a freshly baked cake out from the box. can you tell me what firmware do i need to use? im using asia Galaxy Tab. cause im not the expert, this OverCome rom my uncle helped me to do it now hes away, i cant undo it =(
based on the firmwares found on samfirmware, there are different stock asian firmwares available. there is an Indian version (P1000DD), south east asian version (P1000DX), Hong Kong version (P1000ZH) and Taiwan version (P1000ZT).
i myself keep 2 froyo firmwares to go back to:
P1000DXJK2 - which was the firmware that came with my tab when i bought it sometime in december.
P1000DXKM3 - which was posted sometime in february/march that i got from a thai forum.
Singapore galaxy tab should be south east asian right?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Hi I'm a noob myself but I assume you can just follow the overcome guide to go back to stock?... basically, go into download mode And flash "overcome stock froyo safe" using Odin. I may well be missing something but wehenever I mess up and my tab won't boot, I just re-flash...
This is my first attempt at offerring help to anyone here, if i'm wrong please tell me! (Nicely!)

[Q] SGS Vibrant I9000M upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4!

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade with the recently leaked European Gingerbread 2.3.4 image to the Bell's Vibrant I9000M?
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2, firmware UGKC1. Have downloaded the official 2.3.4 from samfirmware.com and already rooted and unlocked my phone.

It is... i would suggest going this route instead of through the one from samfirmware.
I use darky's ROM. I upgraded to 10.1 (it is 2.3.3), then recently upgraded via CWM to Dark Core 2.7.3 (which has the 2.3.4 GB firmware). Beware that the core is beta at this time, and so far in 2 days i haven't had any real issues on my phone.
www.darkyrom.com, then check the forums.
We are quite in Sync. Co-incidentally I upgraded to Darky's ROM(10.1) about an hour back. I'll give a try to the Beta now. Pls do share your experience with the beta overtime.
Thanx

So far so good... other than my battery. Although i do have a momax 2700mah battery, it only lasted 30ish hours before it died... including using superpower to manage night time usage. I should be getting more than that with this battery (and i have done the reconditioning with the battery since i got it).
Even with 10.1 i got a day and a half or so... but the half day doesn't work for me as i need it for a full day.
Now that i've done one round of recondition on my battery, i'm anxious to see how good the battery will last now.
10.1 works with the JVP kernel fine (at least some of the features for it). I had to upgrade gtalk to the video talk version myself though (although i'm sure it'll be included in the next darkyrom).
Let me know what you think of it...
Hey guys i am also on the I9000M through bell and would love to get the gingerbread on here but the last time i tried i couldnt connect to my 3g for wireless and i couldnt call out or recieve calls please tell me the guide you used because man that gingerbread was fast and smooth.

Bricked Phone, Help!

Well, here's the history how I got my phone Samsung Galaxy S I9000 bricked.
5 months ago, I rooted my phone with One Click Lag Fix, and recently it's starting to force closing my apps, so I decided to factory reset my phone.
After that, my phone nows only boot into the splash screen, and vibrates once, and then twice ( I think it means force close.)
Any help would be nice. Help! I really need to get my phone fix.

Download Odin, pick a stock firmware for your region (for now try to match it to froyo 2.2 (or 2.2.1) or GB 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4).
Follow the guides on the linked thread, reflash (I'd try without repartitioning to start), test.
follow up with any questions or problems once you look and try the stuff linked.

I've asked some people about how to flash this with no help. And as you can see no one really cares to much about the VZW SGT, well the SCH-I800 anyways. Rite now i'm happy with just having root.

Official CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies

Last we heard, CyanogenMod 9's interaction with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 line was limited to the variants shackled either to T-Mobile or to WiFi. However, the CM team has been hard at work, and as of yesterday, the following three editions of the 10-inch tablet have been granted access to the CM nightly kingdom: Verizon's Galaxy Tab 10.1 (SCH-I905)
Unlocked WiFi + 3G Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500)

No. I think it's based on isi and pershoot work, so the only changes probably will be more CM9 settings
