[Q] Firmware need for Tablet bought from a trip in Saudi Arabia

Hi all,
I bought the P1000 galaxy tab back from Saudi Arabia when I was visiting there for business. After coming back home I wanted to flash a European firmware on to it.
Unfortunately following this attempt, the tablet just displays a battery charging symbol with no actual progress and does not go into download mode.
As the device was built to be sold in the Middle East, can you advise on what firmware should be used to reflash this device? All firmware I've tried from samsfirmwares.com has not worked and all have failed to boot. The best I could get was the Samsun Galaxy TAb logo during startup and that's it, it hung there. Now it's even worse, just displaying the battery symbol and nothing happens.
Thanks for your help in advance,

Try These instructions with Rotohammer JMIv2 firmware:
IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure
Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
Check repartition box
Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
After this, the Tab will reboot normally.

Thanks DarkPal, appreciate the quick response. I'll give this a try and update this thread. In the meantime, can you let me know where I can get the rotohammer firmware? I'll definitely search for it but if there is a known good location I'd appreciate it.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360 Here you Go. Hope you boot successfully. Don't use Samfirmware ROMs they have locked bootloaders.

Unfortunately I have the same Galaxy Tab logo and Samsung on the bottom. It just stays there. I've lost trust that this tablet will revive. Do you have any further ideas?
I tried
1. PIT + RePartition + Start + PDA ROM + Start --- Result same
2. PIT + PDA + RePartition + Start --- Result same

Just do one step at a time.
1. Get into download. Connect to pc. See the yellow box in odin. Pit file and check repartition, flash. Disconnect from pc.
2. Reboot into download. Connect to pc. Rom in pda, no check for repartition. Flash. Reboot into normal mode. If ok start, go back and flash your modem.

Captain, thanks for the steps. I've tried exactly word by word what you've sent earlier. Same thing happens.

There is a way to get into download mode, where you do something like squeeze the battery screen while holding power and volume down, but I'm not sure of the exact steps. Also one method involves the usb cable.
Can someone get us those alternate methods to get into download mode?
Is this stuff in the stickies for development?

If you looking for the touch screen reset procedures, I think this link will bring you there, look for Beards threads. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921848
For me, it doesn't work when I have issue with the battery indicators. But you can try it to reset.

Thank you henrylam for the link.

I have the exact same scenario as this but have yet to change the Rom as I'm not sure what benefit there actually is?
Custom roms aside, will my Tab actually be any better with a Euro rom on it as it can currently do everything I think it's supposed to.
Will I loose or gain anything?

*Bump*
Can someone please help with my question above?

Sorry, I don't follow your answer?
I've already got full phone capability using a UK sim (the unit is unlocked).
Why would this change by swapping the rom?

Was about to say warantee but they can tell from hardware

It won't. But you said you hadn't flashed the euro rom, which normally is done to gain phone capability.
Your phone had already been rom-modified by someone, because phone capability isn't a stock feature for any carrier.

UK KIES Update failed, advice please...

Hi everyone!
I know how to search, so no need to tell me that! I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881206 but it is not so helpful.

Is it me or does this Kies program suck? Lots of problems with bricked phones everywhere! How can one of the biggest company of electronic devices in the world produce crap like this? And what's this stupid way of rolling out updates one region at a time? Samsung what's a matter with you? I'm beginning to think it's better to flash the dam stuff yourself!

How long should Odin take? 30 minutes?

Hi everyone!
I get a feeling that this is a 'return to Samsung' problem..
I can get the Downloading.... do not turn off Target!!! screen on the tablet,
but Odin fails.
I know it is because I am doing something wrong,, but I am bit sure what!
I have two questions - for a UK Tablet bought in Staples, is this the correct TAR file?
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
and is the pit file
s1_odin_20100512.pit
or
s1_odin_20100803.pit
I also tried recovery from KIES but no luck..
Any advice welcomed!
Ofiaich

Hey u dont need to put any of these pits
Go and start without putting the pit
There is already pit in the rom
Flash it without hitting anything except start
Sent From Hell To Take Your Soul

thanks again,
tried without the pit file..
and it still fails, and I tried with re-partition checked and unchecked..
so I am wondering if I choose the correct rom.
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
All good fun and learning!!

The pit files you've quoted are old. They're probably for the Froyo based ROMs. For Gingerbread firmwares, use the pit file I've attached below. I zipped it up as XDA doesn't allow files with a .pit extension. Just extract it from the zip file and use it.
Use these following setup in the pic below, substituting the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar" file in place of the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar”, as well as the modem of choice in the Phone slot.

thanks thepittbull !
Tried that too with the P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
and that fails too.
I get this in Odin, ( see screenshot )
I also tried this rom P1000XWJMP_P1000XXJMI_P1000SEBJM5_HOME
I am sure I am making a silly mistake but just can't see it!
I will read lots again and call back here later..!
thank you for your patience..

Are you using a zip file instead of a tar file? Seems it can't read the file in the PDA section. If you've downloaded it as a zip file, you need to extract it out first. Your file names in your screenshot is kinda long, so I can't exactly see the files you're flashing. If you're on JQ1, use the JPZ for now.
Anyway, the GB stocksafe file is from TeamOvercome.net. It's our recommended stock-safe package, that we recommend to keep as it's like a mini-toolkit with everything you need to restock. There's the guide on the site, to help you in the restocking process with the package.

Hi thepittbull!
tried again and have attached a screen shot.
It failed too... I have no idea why..!
I had better get ready to go out!

Galaxy note stuck at welcome screen

I know this is a wide issue on many devices, but i could not find one for the Galaxy Note.
So here it is (and sorry if the answer is allready out there):
i tried to root and it got stuck on bootscreen (the samsung logo). I have figured out (or atleast i thing) that the OS is missing, or something like that. So i downloaded it from a forum page here on XDA. The thing is i can't figure out how to put it on the phone. I tryed using ODIN. Any clue of an easy way to do this?
Thanks in advance
i have N7000JPKK2

Hi there There the way to go is this. Pull battery count to ten replace battery and go to download mode (hold volume down press power on while hold volume down). Start odin make sure re-partition is uncheck extract the stock firmware you downloaded so you have a TAR file click on PDA in odin and navigate to that TAR file connect phone odin should react and a yellow square will appear with com 4 in it now press start . Thats it good luck

Don't think this post belongs in this section, it has no relations to development.

Try flash the rom manually by using odin.download the overcome kratos v4.0 all the files that is needed were already there if you extract the file.but you have to follow the step by step instruction how to do it.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App

You went from GB down to froyo. That's a bad idea, especially since you can make voice calls with a T-mobile tab and any rom except stock T-mobile froyo. In any rom you have to flash the correct modem.bin.
I would suggest you go to team overcome website, get their guide, and follow it carefully to fix your tab, then come back here for next steps.

Help Please I've Bricked my Samsung 8.9 wifi tab

Hi All
Today I thought I would try to install Jellybean on My tab, I am a total nube at this but thought I could follow the tutorial. First I rooted my tab, then tried to backup the tab but it didn't work and then I thought what the hell I'll just try it.
Now it just shows the black and white Samsung Screen and won't turn off.
When I go in to the Android System recovery a message shows - /cant access to ‘system/csc/XEF/system/
I've tried using Odin and all seems good but I can't get ClockWorkMod to appear on my tab.
I bought my tab in the UK but it got shipped from France so has default language setup in French If that has anything to do with it.
Please help, I've tried following some threads on here but some of it seems to be out of my depth. Could someone explain in simple terms how I can get my tab back to normal?? It would be very much appreciated. I'm so annoyed at myself :crying:
Thanks in advance

Right, I've been looking at this for 2 days now.
I've noticed that their is a CSC file option on Odin, I'm also in the middle of downloading the stock rom P7310XWLA2 which is the French version of the ROM.
So when it has downloaded should I try to find a CSC file as well as the PDA file to send to my tab?

Luckily I've never had to use ODIN with my Tab, however back in the days on my SGS I used it a lot.
So just a few things: you don't have a CSC file, because your tab is a Wifi only model, so don't worry about that.
Also, be sure to tick the re-partition box on the left if you are using a pit file (which at this state you should), this should repartition your internal SD and thus have a clean install.
Good luck

Thanks, but i've got it working and I'm not gonna mess round with it again.
Can't believe i finally got it working!
