It can definitely be fixed, it's just a matter of how easily it can be done. Have you tried some of the unusual combinations people have come up with to get into download mode. For example removing the battery, holding power + volume down + home and then reinserting the battery whilst these buttons are held?
Also, if you can't get into download mode that doesn't mean you have to sell it as parts. Samsung will be able to repair it, if they can't tell what you did then perhaps they'll repair it for free under warranty.

Sometimes I just wonder why people try to install low-level software on their device that ISNT MEANT for their device. There is a reason, the captivate has a different model number and that is because it requires DIFFERENT software.
This comes close to me flashing the BIOS for an AMD motherboard on my X58 Intel motherboard.

reason for people installing other software is in my case because im STUPID !!! I stood almost 24 h reading forums in my country and stuff , and i googled ODIN the first link was this ODIN ONE CLIK i entered read about things there and it seamed to be for my phone, and from there we know the story. I did not think for one moment that the soft was for another phone. After i broke it i read all 42 pages and realized that.
I can't get the phone to do anything.... i can't charge it ... it's like the USB does not exist. If i start the phone unpluged, when i plug the usb in turns oFF , ass soon as i take out the USB it will start again to flash the AT&T logo...
I hope if i can't fix it, that SAMSUNG service will change it or can repair it and not charge a hunormus amount of money for that
you have give me hope telling that it can be fixed by samsung , and i still am opened for advices from u guys

thanks, im not going to be upset if people make fun, they can do it because i was so stupid not to see that the soft is for another phone and brake it with my own hand. Isn't on this forum someone that works for Samsung and can tell me for sure what to do , or if the service can do ?

Well there is a way of getting your phone working by putting a file on your sd card but you'd have to look for that .

Actually, you should try it... I've been told that flashing Intel boards with AMD firmwares allows unlimited overclocking! or not.

I'm sorry for that. It's a little bit of frustration speaking there. But I guess you have a way bigger problem. Although that post about putting the right file on the SD seems interesting (but I haven't heard of anything like that before).
But if you can, returning the phone and hoping that samsung will fix it will be the easiest fix.

im sure samsung can fix it evan by changing the sd in the phone with the correct soft will solve it, but i want to see if there is another way of doing it

Could you have forgotten to replace the protected bootloaders?

You should have given it a full charge before you tweaked your tab.
Anyway, try to give it a full charge plugged into the wall, then try again.

So you didn't even give it a first boot? Should have at least done that and checked for protected bootloaders...
without more detail... Yeah... As ranger said, you didn't even give it a full charge?

Edited for swypos

i mean perhaps it was 90 percent charged
and yes i had it already booted into froyo. I mean the first one wasn't protected so i guess i jumped the gun. But i don't think the boot loader was the issue.
knew i shouldn't have put the screen protector on.. always curses me.. hehe
I did two post to revise my title to get a better answer on how to correct next time.

you'll shock if you know that he post this Q in the general section 2 times ....

i didn't mean to post twice...
you guys are trolls...
I bricked my device and i was quite upset... Why i reposted smart guy was to redo the title so that someone would verify my steps were correct.
You havent shown me anything yet that answers my questions. Sending me to a Q & A post didn't help anything. I read that **** before i even even bought the phone. I don't need you to tell me the differences between bricks..
the **** charged all night last night and i let it run all the way down before hoping it would discharge. I had just flashed my other one that had a bad pixel the night before and i had no issues. I did the same steps as before.
i find it funny you guys are more worried about where i posted then the actual issue.
If you want to talk about a waste.. you have wasted space with your nonsense all day replying to this thread with no useful information.
This is my 6 android device and first one i even bricked so spare me. I followed the steps exactly just like i did the day before with no issues. Your so cool sending me to the Q & A because i posted twice.

All I said is that I got confused by your title. That's it. I didn't come here to troll or say that you shouldn't post here or there or anything like that.

Lets keep it civil and help this guy get his tab fixed eh folks......

to the OP .. can you tell me what tab you have , your firmware ? ? old stock rom you have ? lets go serious now

I went to tmobile and got my old one back.
I returned the bricked one and got back the one with 1 dead pixel. I already had it good to go with 2.3.3 so im going to leave it alone for now.
It would be nice if i could still understand why it happend.
it came with froyo
tmobile sgh-t849 2.2
i flashed the GB_Stock_Safe_v3.tar which is 2.3.3. It just said failed with no other information. At this point i would be weary of using odin on my desktop.
iv used odin alot in the past and never really had any issues

is your tab can call ? sorry for my dumb question .. your tab is GSM P1000 ?

@OP can you be more fast to reply . its 4:33am here .. so be fast !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The OP has already told us TWICE that his device is a Tmobile SGH-T849 meaning that it is NOT an SGT-P1000

yeah Mokhattab , i know , thats why i wanna just show him what he did ...
though his tab can't get the Gingerbread right , either the Stock safe from yours ...
@OP thats why you bricked your tabb

I beg to differ
@OP
There is no reason why you can't flash Overcome
Having a TMO SGH-T849 is certainly no brickable offence in terms of using Overcome
While the problem may no longer exist, it's definitely worth investigating to know why you had problems (also to get you over your newly acquired fear of Odin )
Is there the slightest possibility the cable was nudged or such?
You seem to be comfortable using ODIN and your setup must be OK if you've flashed your current Tab before so I'm thinking it might have been a freak accident of some sort

(Q) Dead touches

hey guys a quick question for you. I bought an OB for my gf as a gift for christmass. I get dead touches sometimes and it caught my eye sometime ago that some users experienced similar probs. Is it hardware or crappy software on part of lg? and if it is sw can any version fix this? I updated phone to v10g and still same problem. maybe some other version or any custom rom? Other than that phone is pretty decent and the screen compared to my o3d rocks. Any help would be welcome. And merry christmass to all. sry for my bad english

If it's a hardware issue with capacitive panel, no upgrade will fix it.
And about the ROM, we have Cyanogenmod nightlies as the best available option. ( Try installing CM7, if you think your touch button problem is s/w related)

Dead touches? What are those? Care to elaborate? Thanks!

dead touches is a problem of LGmail. if this app not in memory - we have dead touches. start LGmail and quit

Smooth with MHL or HDMI?

Hi!
I've been running CM10 and Paranoid for a while and I find that I don't like the choppyness. So i switched back to CM9 for a silk smooth GUI.
As it turns out, CM9 or 10 won't work with MHL or HDMI, so switched to Team Alliance (Touchwiz).
Team Alliance is still too choppy for me.
What rom has MHL or HDMI support?
Mod Edit: I edited OP to take out Best ROM and make your question more direct. Only had to delete one line and reword the title. Only way this will stay open my friend.

True Story. "Best ROM" threads are almost always closed on sight. In this case, I am going to edit your OP to reflect your real question about MHL and HDMI and take out the Best ROM-iness.
Choppiness is mostly User issues and can generally be cleared up with some troubleshooting like OC/UV, HW overlays,....
Thread stays open for the time being but if it gets back to Best ROM, then it gets the axe. Cool?

I got the same exact thing on my phone and I have the exact same setup. I'm going to bank on the fact that it's the kernel. the tbm version overclocks the CPU and GPU... CPU to 1.84ghz and the GPU to 600mhz.
I'm going to experiment with the 016m version as opposed to the tbm version and see if it happens again since the mainline version doesn't have OC's.

Not an exact twin, but it can't be a coincidence that all of us have similar issues. Must be a kernel issue

It is an issue with faux kernel. If you read his thread, there are numerous people with the same issue and some have posted how to fix it.

I answered his question about it being due to the kernel and told him to search for the answer. Im sorry I dont get paid to search for others if I dont have the answer readily available at the tip of my fingers.

Not kernel or ROM related. Faux put that into a kernel so you would know your modern crashed. He was tied of this being blamed on his kernel. It seems to be a problem on 27 radio especially.
