Search the forum for ODIN. That should put you on the right track. You should be able to flash a firmware to the phone and have a fresh start

You need to acquire the firmware separately from http://www.samfirmware.com and use odin to flash it onto your phone. Read PM.

click update and see if it can recover

no I cant do it
any other option
please

lets put it simply, if you are technically inclined you should have no trouble donwloading Odin and the 512 pit file require to flash the phone along with the ROM that you want to use
if you are in Europe then perhaps you want the JM2? if you are in North America i suggest the JH2
after you open Odin, you insert those 3 files into its corresponding slots.
If you are already lost trying to understand the Odin and ROM files, then i'll suggest you to take the phone back to the store to have it exchanged.
Samsung has extended the DOA warranty to 60 days
...However if you understood all of the above, then boot into the Download Mode (instructions on wiki), and flash again using Odin and your favourite flavour of ROM

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.
I tried to update via KIES this morning, and it failed. Recovery mode does not work either..
I have posted some PC screenshots below...
Any advice welcomed.

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!

Hi!
I am at this stage now...
and hope I am doing things correctly..
How long should Odin take? 30 minutes?
Ofiaich

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..

I will try tomorrow as I am going to a 20 year reunion this evening and better get ready to go out.
I am not sure how to choose the correct Modem, but I will search for the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar” file.
edit -downloading GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar now...from teamovercome.net but not sure wich modem to choose! JK3, JMF, JPZ or TMO,
thanks again!
back tomorrow!

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!
Thanks for yours and k0sh time and patience!

I've just read thru the thread again. One quick question: Were you running Android 2.2 prior to the flashing?

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
Mike

Thanks, can someone please help me with these files please I'm desperate. :fingers-crossed:

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?
Please Help :fingers-crossed:

But the tab started to load up 3 things came up with failing to mount data and cant mount your storage is not prepared yet on updating application, applting Multi CSC and installing multi CSC
The tab then rebooted and all looked well until the tab asked 'Entrer mot passe' which I think is enter you password i entered 'samfirmware.com' but it says desole - sorry
Any ideas please???

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!
