do you know the steps on how to do it? or at least a step by step guide?
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Dont worry dude....its just a softbrick....easily fixable.
For odin, search google and refer some guides. Use the guides meant for the Ace only.
If you want CM7, try flashing it again and do all the wipes.
And wait for sometime in the Android screen. It will take sometime for first boot.

Need help on my GT-P1000

my tab p1000 GSM, soft bricked
followed the instruction on how to unbrick it, then it booted and got stuck on SAMSUNG logo, any piece of advice?
i downloaded the open asia XJPE from sammobile firmware page.. im from Philippines sir.
@edit:
when i tried wiping data/factory reset
it says:
formatting/data
formatting/dbdata
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
can someone give me enlightenment?
tnx in advance.
can you boot to download mode (vol down and power button)
I recommend just "restock" using Overcome method
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,
Missing pictures can be seen here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20974872
Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Stop there and you will have Gingerbread JQ1
You can continue with the rest, and you will get Overcome 4.1 and you won't regret.
From there you can then try AOKP or CM9, all requires you to have Overcome Kernel with its CWM recovery to flash.

Not sure what state is this
hi, i dont know what to call this. i am totally new to all this...
the goal was to install ICS on the GT-P1000. so i googled and was following instructions...
- did root using doomlord v4
- next was to run 'overocom_7_series_v4.1.-_no wipe' from Recovery mode
- recovery was android e3 so one website recommended to change to CWM.
- using Odin3-v1.85 tried to run skin1980-P101-NEW-CF_root-GB
- it didnt work so just checked -re-partion option
- learned my lesson that i shouldnt do that...and the tab is gone in a comma
so now i am not sure where i am....just tried something called soft oneclick unbrick...it didnt work...
please help....
well, did you read the whole thread on how the OP saved the P1000 ?
First, can you still go to download mode...
if so, then read my reply to OP

I first upgraded my samsung galaxy gt - p1000 from stock 2.3.3 to CM 10 4.1.1 jelly bean, then the mobile network did not work so I return it back to 2.3.3 then I brick it, after unbricking when I boot it to recovery mode it is reporting E: .... path unknown.. it looks that my gt-p1000 is done, i seriously need help to recover it.. pls help !!!!
Silly you.
Cm10 no mobile network, just our modem.bin in /system/vendor/
And you will be OK.
Now to recover just follow my reply to op.
Or follow this new links to overcome method , same as above but all in one place

Go To windows ... Control Panel ... Uninstall Programs & ROM's ... Search For Your ROM ... Uninstall It
Wait For The Phone To Close is Eyes ... U are Good 2 Go
Honestly ... If u had searched u already know that ... Either Way ...
Set Up Odin ( Search How To Do It)
Put Phone In Download Mode ( Same as Above )
Start Flash
Wait for it to Finish ( Green Light & Pass )
Remove Battery
Boot Into Recovery (Search) and Wipe Data
Reboot Your Phone

Download the lastest kernal from the thread you got your rom from and start the whole process again when its finished the install dont reboot your phone go to install zip from sd card select the kernal and press install when its finished reboot your phone then it should work

After flashing the rom, if your phone doesn't boot, take off the battery, put it back, go to recovery & do a factory reset & also wipe dalvic cache. Try booting then...

Thanks for the reply, yes i have correct files, still will try yours, (once it will boot then further i will deal easily) currently have given the phone to a local repair person, he said something is wonky with IC chip so ROM is not flashing properly.
Would try your thing soon, thanks!
