[Q] Unbrickable Tab - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, they gave me a Sprint Galaxy Tab 7". When it boots up it goes directly to Android system Recovery. and it shows there a ton of red letters.
I have tried flashing with odin a whole bunch of firmwares. All say Success and pass. But when it restarts it goes back where i started. Sometimes when it boost it goes to the samsung logo. then the sprint 4g then back to samsung logo and stays there.
I saw a old thread that a guy had the same problem with his boss's tab. but i dont know if and how he resolved it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Did you flashed the correct kernel?

where can i get the kernel and do i flash with odin?

Ok i tried flashing everything available still no go. I think it ha to do something with the EXT file system.
Maybe the file system is formatted to EXT and all the firmwares are RFS or something.
not sure how to get by this.

if that is the case, then flash any stock firmware that has .pit file with ODIN and choose to "repartiton" will get you back to RFS.

I guess that wasn't the the case. just tried 3 different firmwares with the pit files. still boots to the Android recovery then after i restarts it boots normal. then sprint 4g then restarts to samsung glowing logo. and just loops there.

missed the part about the 4G.
Have you been flashing correct rom?
In this forum people are all posting onfor for SPH-P100 and SCH-I800
What exactly is your device model?

I have the Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" - It says SPH-P100

Ok, since I don't have CDMA device, can't help you much.
But I wonder, has it always have the Sprint 4G logo from the beginning?
Or others who has the device can chime in?
If it has always been there, that means I am just clueless about sprint device.
If it only appear after your failed flash, could be that it now has a bootloader of another device.

Can you boot into download mode?

if so, download the right firmware and flash via odin. it worked for me, though mine was a gsm tab. you can get them from www.samfirmware.com and download a correct pit file

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031&highlight=stock+ef17
Try this one.

Ive Tried that one about 1 dozen times.
Yes it has always had the 4G logo.
Yes i can go into download mode.
To me it seems like the internal storage is corrupt or something.
This seems like i can't fix it. If anyone thinks they can fix it ill ship it to them.

You need to flash stock rom via odin aswell as a pit file and tick re-partition.

Galaxy S Dead?

OK guys i updated to a 2.2 Froyo i thought it was laggy and i was like ok im going to downgrade back to stock 2.1 eclair
so what happened was i used odin, used 803 Pit file and the 9000UGJh2 and it formatted but instead of restarting the phone to normal start up it goes into recovery mode saying E: Can't mount. dev block mmcblk0p1
I bought the phone off someone on RedFlagDeals.com -> about 2 weeks ago love this phone hope its not dead
I CAN GO into Download Mode, can go into recovery mode
Phoen just starts up does the Galaxy Logo and goes dark from there on.
Dont have original reciept but i do have original box + all original accesories.
what are my choices here?
Thanks for reading!
UGJH2? I'm not sure, but I don't think that's a rom for the international i9000 galaxy s? Might want to check wherever you downloaded it from.
If you can get into download mode, shouldn't be a problem.. just flash some other rom. You could try look in the android dev subforum, and try out some of the roms there, I'm using Doc's froyo rom, and it has worked pretty well for me
thing is i cant use clockwork recovery mode and im using the Bell Vibrant
In that case, what are you doing in the Galaxy S forum? Go to the Vibrant forum. You obviously downloaded the wrong rom.
Vibrant is not the Galaxy S I9000. Never was, never will be.

The bell galaxy s vibrant is the gt-i9000m. He's on the right forum.
Why can't you use CWM? On recovery 3e?
Flash to some old eclair rom, most (if not all) of those have recovery 2e, which works fine with CWM
Can you please elaborate or point out some links on how to get CWM to recover from the mmcblk0p1 problem?
idk and also im giving up hope .. it hink its dead and useless
use odin to flash UGJH2 on the device (512 pit, I always click repartition-don't know if you need to though). There's guides on here or google if you're unsure how to do it, but it's pretty simple.
This is of course assuming your internal sd isn't corrupt.
EDIT: I see you tried it already but with 803 pit. Try with 512. That error though I think means an internal SD issue (not positive though)
i think u downloaded the wrong rom....

Thanks for this - I just flashed UGJH2 (512) to my I9000M and had the most encouraging results so far - no errors to do with stl1x or mmcblk0px show up in recovery mode. Unfortunately it still gets so far through the boot process, screen goes black and then nothing happens. When I attempt to apply any updates from the external SD it says file not found (even when it's a freshly FAT formatted 1G with only an update.zip on it).
I tried UGJH2 with 803 after that and got the mmcblk error again, so I went back to the 512 and have been trying to get something to work.
Any ideas on what I could do to get my phone working again?
Update.zip won't work from external sd, only internal sd card, so that's one problem.
You could also try the earlier bell eclair, JH8 (i think?) instead of JH2 and see if that gives you a better result
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I think the one you mean is JM8 and I tried that one a while ago. I'll give it a go again now just in case though.
Maybe not JM8. That has GT I9000 on the bootscreen instead of GT I9000M and breaks horribly. I can't find JH8 on samfirmware - maybe it has a different name?
Sorry, JG8
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
same issue
I just got the exact same issue. I installed the screen density app from market and then my phone did not restart properly and kept recycling through the Gt19000 logo. I flashed the roms again through odin but it gets stuck on the black screen after the S logo. If i install a froyo rom it keeps cycling the GT19000 logo
Damn, exact same boot behaviour with JG8 (512 & 803) - coloured logo to black screen.
Is there anything else you can think of that I might try?
Edit: Is it likely I don't actually have the bad SD seeing as how I get none of the stl/mmcblk errors when using UGJH2?

[HELP] SPH-P100 Sprint Galaxy Tab - bricked?

Posting for a friend -
I have a SPH-P100 Sprint Galaxy Tab and I have been stuck @ the Samsung logo for a few days now. It seems to boot as normal (samsung animation and chime) then pulses the samsung logo for a while then eventually the pulsing just stops and sticks. I have flashed to every Sprint rom and kernel available and still no luck -_- but what I do know is that when I enter adb logcat while it is booting it shows all the apps i had on the stock ROM trying to start or install. I'm not sure how but all the games and apps are still there on the internal sd/nand or whatever it is called. All the 3rd party stuff i bought etc, please help my tab is stuck -_-.
I have the same Problem and my sprint tab stuck at the Samsung logo
what should i do ????
please help me .
So you can still get into download
mode? If so check the zypher Rom thread. It has the stock tab Rom without modem

Not working
it is as dead as a nail (i am the friend btw) when it is booting in logcat i can see all my old apps which i think is stopping me from booting. i also get a Mismatch UID error.

Use ROM EA24

Use the ea24 update and flash with Odin in download mode. Look in Dev section for link.

Search for the no modem DJ30 file in here. That's important. Flash it with ODIN in the PDA section. Do not flash anything else. That should fix any issues you have, I hope.
Here's the link http://www.multiupload.com/WDKOUJSM2G download that. No need to repartition, so make sure it's unchecked.
You can also try to get to the recovery either vol up or vol down + power and format the device.

[Q] help for board galaxy tab

hi everyone,
i have tab p1000 and tab sprint sph-p100,
all condition is brick and loop to logo samsung.
where to buy board for tab p1000 and sprint p100?
If you get the logo you're not bricked. Try a factory reset on your recovery. If that doesn't work Odin to stock.

If your stuck on the Samsung logo that means you previously were rooted and tried to flash aosp and now you restore to Odin and it won't boot because your tablet isnt formated correctly to boot into stock easy fix all you have to do is download the stock r17 ROM I believe and a pit file and you should be good

first thing you should do is plug it in to the mains socket and let it charge for at least 4 hours. it could take longer. sounds like your battery might be totally discharged.
---------- Post added at 04:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------
it would help to know more about what happened to put the tab out of order.
if you manage to get your battery to charge and you have a gsm tab then follow this guide exactly:

Hard Bricked
Hey:
I have a dead Samsung Galaxy Tab SGH-T849 (T-Mobile). My son washed it to clean it up :/
It was initially booting but in loop, so I tried to install a new custom rom and it went completely dead and wont even boot up now.
Is there a way I can fix this?
I will also appreciate if you can please advise if the exact manufacturing part number for the motherboard if you have it?

[Q] [help] phone bricked? any solution?

Let's see, I've rooted my phone a few days ago and set a partition to link2sd, everything was ok, i've tryed to use a swap partition as well that didn't work, but phone still ran well. Reading the tutorial discussion further i've noticed that it was rather old and swap partitions were unnecessary with Android 4 and up, I've turned off my phone in order to remove my sd card and format it again but prior to removing battery i've noticed that the screen flashed and a bunch of scrambled pixels appeared, since this happened every time i turn my phone on only a bunch of static square patterns are shown.
By pressing volume down+home+power i can acess a screen to download Other OS, it's the only thing that seems to work. i can't acess CWM recovery or anything.
Is the mini dead or there's a solution? Anything with Odin or the MIni Toolkit? Couldn't find anything helpful through search.
Flash stock via odin..
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 4
download stock rom or cm 10.2 odin package , and flash it via odin..
i flashed wrong modem some days ago and soft bricked my device, i used CM 10.2 odin package to recover..
I've tryed both maclaw's and the official stock for my i8190L but both give me the same 'No Pit Partition' error. I've been searcing all over XDA and the web and no one seems to have a solution for this or the pit file for the L model, only for the other models.. looks like i'm screwed.
The procedure on Odin is simply adding the firmware .md5 file to the PDA section, plug the phone in 'download mode' and hit start, right? I'm new to samsung flashing, sorry for the noobish question.
As long as you can boot to 'download mode' it isn't hardbricked. Have tou tried to flash again some recovery with odin? If Odin doesn't help you can always try using Kies to get device to completely stock state. All you have to do is boot device to download mode, connect via usb to PC and open Kies. There is option to "reset&update to latest firmware" or sth like that. That has saved many sammy devices in tricky situtations, even tho Kies as software sucks

Just wanted to answer your question about flashing with Odin; that is correct way to do it.

Thanks for the answers, guys. Can't do new tests now but I'll try as soon as I get back from holidays. Any attempts to flash through Odin only gives me the same pit partition error, and kies also seemed equally unfruitful. Looks like my options are getting short.

Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge stuck on boot logo

Hello,
I have a Verizon S6 Edge, that I need help with. My phone was working fine and yesterday, all of a sudden it turned on, and is now stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by android" screen. It does not go past that. I can't even turn the phone off. I just have to wait for it to die. The phone has never been rooted and I've always just done OTA updates on it. I went to a local Best Buy to get it reflashed with the latest firmware but that still hasn't fixed it. I cannot access the recovery menu, only the download mode. I can also access maintenance mode which gives the option for Normal Boot, factory reset, safe mode, and USB Debugging. I have tried all those options but nothing different happens. I have downloaded the latest firmware from XDA and tried to flash it with ODIN and nothing happened there either. Any help is appreciated, I just don't want to throw my phone away. (I bought it last August)
Thanks!
I have the same problem, but i live in Mx and i can't find the stock rom anywhere. I hope someone can help us.
Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues.
Have you tried contacting Verizon or Samsung support yet?

did you by chance use a pit file for odin as well as a full tar?
you could have messed up the partitions..
try to repartition it using odin or you can always try samsung smart switch emergency repair option etc.

I didn't use any PIT files or anything. I just downloaded the stock OK7 firmware and put that in AP on odin, plugged my phone in under download mode and the update seems to go through fine but it still just boot loops. Doesn't go past the Galaxy S6 Edge screen. However, when I did that, there is now a padlock on my screen when it boots up and it also says custom under it and system status also says custom.

something is not right then.. check the download md5 and what odin version you running?
custom padlock should go away after fresh install of a full odin tar which should be ~1.9gb zip before extracting it
