[Q] tab bricked?or is it?

I had issues with my Verizon tab. I flashed the rom back to stock with himdall. It now has black screen unless I plug it in then the camera flash stays on. My windows 7 laptop can still connect to it. I reflased again the light goes of then back on. Want to get it back to stock but don't know and think maybe its permanently bricked?I can not get it to boot or do anything.

It's not bricked. Re-flash it with Odin.

Where do I find the files to do so??wow what a quick reply!thanks!

Verizon is CDMA correct?
I don't know if re-stocking using this will work?

Woah buddy I didn't say go ahead and flash it. So you put it in download mode first and then flashed that?

There was no way to get into download mode. I flashed it but this time the camera flash went off and stayed off.

So how did you flash it then if not in DL mode?

Had this same issue and tried overcome method. after flashing screen is off and only capacitive buttons light up. I tried charging it but it doesn't display the battery charging icon. Any help would be appreciated

Luisoman2000,
Sounds like you have other than P1000
Maybe a P1000N or P1000L of the Latin America?
If so, you need to seek out alroger's site for L/N kernel.

yup, its a p1000n. im charging the tab right now, tried connecting it to pc and it was recognized by odin so i guess those are good news.

Definitely.
You can use overcome method to restock, but you will need humberos kernel to get it boot up.
Let me know if you can find the right post.
Btw you don't need to refresh the whole thing. Just need the right kernel.
I am only speaking from what I read, no first hand experience.

Giving you this link to explore, but is your final destination ICS ( CM9) or JB ( CM10) or you prefer just GB?

The blog says overcome method works, meaning you should be able to enter cwm and flash cm rom for p1n

Use heimdall 1.3.1 (later version may cause other issue) and you needed to use zadig.exe to install USB driver.
Odin I am not sure, it needs to be .tar format.
I don't know if taring a file make it OK to Odin. Never tried myself.

[Q] accidently bricked SGS using Odin

Hey Guys,
I hope this is not a complete repost
I have a samsung Galaxy s i9000 and i installed a custom gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM yesterday, all worked fine, but was unable to receive phone calls so i tried reflashing my phone to see maybe it was installed incorrectly.
Im not able to get into recovery mode but i am able to get into download mode.
So i installed Odin, and a .pit file that someone recommended. earlier i downloaded a .tar file that was compatible with my phone.
Everything went fine and it said it was successful, but im now stuck on a black screen with nothing but download mode.
My question to you is:
What files do i need to download inorder to get it to boot, and then allow me to flash to a gingerbread version on android.
I have a 512.pit file, i just need all the other odds and ends like a PDA, phone, CSC files.
Please please help me.
Thanks you for your time.

[Q] no Data/3G/Mobile on my P1000 (Sapir 4.1.2)

Hi guys first and foremost, thank you for reading. I must say this is as a very informative forum with lots of good people in it. This is my first post, and i am an absolute noob so please bear with me. I am posting because i have tried my best to search for answers pertaining to my problem but to no avail, so i hope someone can really help me out here!
so i have a P1000 and bricked it before but anyway am now running
Sapir-10-20121118-nightly-p1-erezak
problem is, the baseband is unknown. which means my sim card does not work. WiFi works fine but i put in my sim card and it doesnt detect a network at all. I have also noticed that Whatsapp is not supported and with the rom, my phone gets warm at the back and power depletes rather fast.
i have doubled checked with a friend who has an unrooted P1000 with the original rom and he told me his baseband was "P1000-DXJPE"
i have gone here
http//wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Support_Downloads
and downloaded the DXJPE modem.bin file and tried to put it in the /radio folder but nothing has changed.
So can anyone help me on this? as in, tell me, in detail how i can make my phone work properly again with data/3g/mobile. Or i will just have to use it as a Wifi tablet.
I read this in the Sapir development thread, and i quote
"Originally Posted by _Derk_
No, just the other way round.
I recommend to have the correct modem.bin (for me JPZ) stored in SD card.
So in one of the cases where you have baseband unknown like now you copy it to /radio folder, even if there is already a modem.bin (which you delete prior). Then just assign the correct authorisations (RWXRWXRWX / 777) and it should work.
Bye,
Derk"
So if this is my answer, can anyone tell me how i can go about doing this? I have no idea what it means!
Another question; is this rom power conservative? My stock GB (or is that Froyo, i cant remember) rom seems to last quite awhile as compared to the Sapir rom. Even if i don't use it, it drains power really really quick in like, a day? Is this normal?

Big drain is normal when you have bad baseband.
The thing you quote, is exactly the same as your own method.
The difference is Derk suggest jpz modem.
So download jpz modem and unzip and place it in /radio
For permission, use root explorer or ES file explorer.
Click long on the file and access its properties, and tick all.

Hi Priyana thanks for the quick response i have already gotten the JPZ modem.bin and put it in /radio. I am actually using Solid Explorer instead of ES Explorer. Root Explorer does not work for some reason. I have also changed the permissions in properties as to what Dirk has mentioned,
RWXRWXRWX / 777
sadly, nothing has changed. What do u suggest i do next?

There was a build in the past that put it in /system/vendor/
Try that?

Done that. Doesn't work
Has this got anything to do with the Owner & Group for modem.bin? Both are now set as "0:root". Both can be changed to "1000:system", "1001: radio" and "1002:bluetooth".
So by right if i go to "settings/about tablet" i should see the baseband version if everything is ok right?

Yes, should be showing under baseband. Don't know what is wrong, maybe you want to flash different nightly.
I know it is a silly question, but you did reboot, right?

Yes i did reboot. I am actually trying to follow your guide to re-stocking. Unfortunately, Odin does not recognise my P1000 in download mode.
This is quite the disaster isn't it? I am ****ed aren't i. :crying:

Noob suggestion,
Wipe everything, factory reset, partition cache, dalvik cache, battery stat. Fix permission.
And reflash the ROM again, after that, reflash the gapps, and reflash the modem. Maybe it'll work.

Flashing modem is really totally unnecessary and leading to confusion if people grab the wrong flash able format.
In stock ROM when we have bml partition, the only way to change modem is via Odin or cwm.
In mtd based ROM, they sit right there in /radio/modem.bin
Odin cant detect the tab is indeed quite weird, but could be driver issue.
For now, try flash cm10 instead?

No, what you rooted as long been overwritten when you flash the rom using cwm.
I suspect you just need a different ROM.

Obviously he restock.
You need to check if you have IMEI as 004xxxxxxx (bad IMEI) or the normal 35xxxxxxx.
if bad imei, it is corrupted efs
And in sapir thread we talked about it, use search.

What did you try to download and do you have a custom recovery installed, twrp or cwm? With whatever recovery you have try doing a factory reset and wipes.

I believe I was trying to download a new CWM with odin. I'm not sure how to use a factory reset and wipes as I can't use anything on the GT, as it is stuck. As this point I am hoping that the new IC firmware will be available through Kies.
I can still use Odin from the PC through Kies, though.
Thanks again!

Does Odin recognize your device? If so you can flash the stock rom from sammobile.com. You need to extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip. Use 7-zip to do that

Again, thanks for responding...
At this point I'm afraid of "Bricking it" before I can have a chance to update the firmware to IC. Hopefully that will be soon.
I really don't know what I am doing, and I have already screwed it up. The GT Honey Comb is working fine, but I can't do anything to upgrade it, internally, as everything is stuck within the GT!
At one point I was trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean, but now I'm just hoping to just get IC. If I can get the IC downloaded through Kies, I'm thinking that the new firmware upgrade using Kies will take care of things. What do you think?
I guess I can live without Jelly Bean.
But I'm willing to give something else a try, however, I would need detailed, step-by-step "For Dummies" directions on what I should do; and as kind as you are, I wouldn't want to ask you to do that?
Kind regards,
Golf Educator

Hi. Don't be scared of losing your device. Will try to walked you thru the process.. just to be more clearer. Can you write down all your device info such as current firmware that u r using? And also do tell us the region ( im XME -Malaysia) because sometimes not all the stock rom can be use to upgrade..
You may need :-
1- kies(for drivers)
2- cables
3- charge your tab to 80%
4- windows/os of ur pc or Mac
After you post all of the info. I or we will try our best to walk you thru the process

I'm using a PC HP Pavilion with Windows 7 with Odin 3v1.85 that does turn yellow when used.
The Kies on my GT works, but the Kies on my PC for some reason doesn't recognize the GT. I believe the Kies drivers are loaded, ok.
I am using the original Samsonite Cable.
Now you know more about me than my wife does...
Thanks,

Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard to diagnose all the problems from a distance. It sounds like when you tried to flash cwm something messed up the tab. But if it still turns on you can probably get it to work again. Kies is a crapy program so I always use Odin. When you plug the tab into Odin does the com in Odin turn yellow and show the port?

I use Odin 3v1.85 with the correct Samsonite cable. It does turn yellow. I don't know if it shows the port. I haven't toyed with it again as I didn't want to lose the use of the GT to be able to update the new IC firmware that is on the way for this GT-P7300 with wifi and G3, European model.

Ok, that's good, Odin is working and now we can get you up and running. Let's try on thing first, can you to recovery mode? Hold the power button and volume up button down, when the tab responds let go of the power button but still.Hold the volume up, then a second later let go of the volume. This should bring you to a menu where you can do some wipes and a factory reset. (I don't remember exactly what's there) IF you can d o wipes try that first. If that doesn't work then try the factory reset (do you have any data and pictures,etc you wantbacked up?)

Hi,
I'm in the United Kingdom and bought the GT in England... It is the GT-P7300 with wifi and 3G. The IC hasn't been released for the United Kingdom, yet, but it should be out in a few days.
I also think that my Odin is working... but the Recovery Mode is the internal problem that I mentioned with the GT. That is where it is stuck saying that it is loading (but it is not loading). At this point my problem is because of that I can't get to anything and can't do anything in the Recovery Mode with it stuck in that frozen loading effort... including wipes, factory resets, etc., it just keeps on saying that it is loading!
Thanks, again, I appreciate your interest and effort!

Are you trying to use cwm 5.5.0.4 that's in the 8.9 development forum stickies? I would 're-download the .tar version again and try to reflash it with odin. You'll load it in the PDA section and only have the auto-reboot and f.reset checked. Don't have anything else checked. Your first attempt could have been a bad download of cmw.
If you're currently rooted then will have to do something different in order to get the OTA ics when it comes out. I just got it for my tab a few days ago. You'll like it much better than hc.

I was able to get clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com. I was also able to get a connection from Odin as it turned yellow. I loaded the PDA with the .tar as you suggested, and started it. It passed! Now I have a CWM that works. Afterwards, using it I did a Factory Reset.
Now, I have a newly installed hc and a working CWM. But, would you believe that the Downloading Mode is still stuck on loading. Do you think when we flash a new ROM that it will reset the reloading correctly?
I feel pretty proud of myself! I think I am ready for Jelly Bean...
How do I do that?

Sounds great. I've been running jb for quite a while, but frankly I'd wait for the ics. Runs just as good and it's stock. Never thought I'd say that until I tried it.

Two questions:
Which system will enable the GT to be used as a phone?
How do I root my newly factory reset hc so my aps work?
Thanks

I have an i957 tab which is different than yours so I don't have an answer to your second question. To root your device see the stickies in the tab 8.9 development section it should be as easy as flashing a zip file thru your recovery. Make sure you get the right zip for your specific device though. Otherwise you can brick it. The biggest mistake people make its using a file for a similar device rather than one for their specific device.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.

To be honest, p7300 can only make calls via root and using cm9 custom rom. Will try to help you mate!! Sorry for late reply..
But just to make it easier, the 1st step is to use stock 2.3.6 that can be installed CWM 5, after getting that. You must download the custom cm9 rom and install into your internal memory(as i can recall all cm based rom will update your cwm 5 to 6 in the process). Will give you the link and try to resolve your probs!!
This is what you will need :-
Download Gt p7300 XEU stock 2.3.x ROM(search via filecorp)
Odin
Pits file
(all this is just in case that you need to flash it back to stock)
Will update my post in a short period of time!

Note to gulf educator: if your going to install a custom Rom, cm9 etc., you don't need to root first.

How do you mount external storage?
Thanks

Point me in the right direction?

Hello everyone,
I have an SM N900A on 4.4.2 and it's running DynamicKat6.1. That being said, I had hoped to come back and see an easy way to get my phone basically back to stock. I had anticipated using the older method using Heimdall but it seems that doesn't work anymore, and so I have kind of come to a loss. I don't know if it's possible for me to get back to my stock MJ5? Or if there is some other way I can achieve a stock setting just so I can ease my way back into exploring my devices capabilities again? If so please let me know what you all think.

Look in the general section. They have Odin flash able tar files there. 4.4.2 4.4.4 and 5.0. But before you so. If you want to root. Do research.

Thank you for that advice. I have downloaded the flashable files and odin 3.10.6 but I have gotten errors trying to use both the all in one, and the other file set. Is there a guide to this that I am missing? I am currently looking into it more but any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Use Odin 3.0.7. And of you down the all.in one home tar file. Open Odin click on pda. And search for the tar file add then press start. Also phone must be in download mode. Turn phone off. Hold home power and down volume button. It will.pop up

After following your advice, my phone seems to be stuck in a constant restart loop, and can't do anything when I make it to the home screen. I will have to look into this, but in the meantime if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Edit: After flashing the wipe set of files, I was able to get the phone in working order. Thanks for all the input

Welcome man. Sorry I forgot to tell you after flash using Odin boot into recovery and wipe data. My bad. Glad to hear you got your phone up and running
