Not sure how I messed up my Bell Vibrant.
I rooted it but was stuck with 3E recovery.
So I tried to flash speedmod via Odin.
The phone went into bootloop.
So I tried Flashing Darky Rom through Odin, pit file, re-partition the works
Then it went into Recovery on reboot where I saw that the SD card wasn't mounting.
So I tried to flash dbdata.rfs.tar but this changed nothing, just the same bootloop, no mounting of the SD card again.
So what can I do? Could my flashing attempts have actually caused a hardware problem?
I have Download mode fine and via Odin everything installs but can't get past the failure to mount the SD card.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
No a flash with Odin can never cause a hardware problem.
Have you unmounted the sd card while flashing?
Bad topic subject :-/
I don't think I unmounted intentionally. Is there anywhere I can simply use Odin to clean install a whole new OS which will remount the SD Card?
I've been using Odin for a while and been flashing Roms with CWM with lots of phones. This is the wife's phone and I decided to trick it out for her for Valentines day. And I bricked it! I feel like such an ass, she's been understanding so far, but if I don't get it sorted I'm in the doghouse

I usually get firmware from here and its always work great. The stock bell Canada one is under North America 2.3.3 ugkg3. Use a 512 pit file and repartition aswell. If this works you can always upgrade the pda with jw1 2.3.6 and root later but sounds like you just want to get it working first.

Thanks so much. I'll check it out and report back.
vanisleryan - thanks so much. I really appreciate it. It's all running fine again.
What is the safest way to root and overcome the 3E recovery block so I can just put roms on the SD card and flash from recovery mode?
Thanks again
Rooting depends on what firmware you used. You need to find the appropriate kernel and flash it in odin as a pda.

I have a bell Canada galaxy s also and I'm running jw1 2.3.6 as my pda, kg3 as my phone, and kg3 as my csc. You can mix and match the files so if you download the jw1 firmware from the link I gave you, just use the pda file and use the phone and csc files from the kg3 firmware. After that is installed download the file at the bottom of the first post in this link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908
You want the one for jw1, one has a "bm" on it one doesn't, you want the one that doesn't. It does not need to be extracted. Flash in odin as pda. Then you will be rooted. I don't know if that kernel contains the cwm apk, you may need to do a search for it. As you will need cwm to install custom roms. Pretty sure it's in that thread somewhere. Just do a search.

Install GB before go ICS
I think there's no ICS 3 file to flash with ODIN because samsung does not provide it.
So you must install GB 2.3.x before go to ICS.
After install GB then you install CWM then install ICS from CWM.
Hope it help.
I flash my p1000m using heimdall with p1000 file, now the phone stucks at the samsung logo during booting.
I have downloaded all possible p1000m files from bell and flash the tab using odin still no change, even overcome did not solved my problem.
Please help.
So you have flashed GB stock save v5 from overcome using Odin 1.7 with pit file and repartition checked and it doesn't boot?
just to be sure, the overcome link is in my signature.

HI people of xda.. I just got a samsung galaxy s i9000 as a present..
It has a 2.3.4 Gingerbread.xxjvp firmware.. I want to upgrade to jelly bean but when i try to root it in my laptop Odin can not detect .tar file..
I followed all the instructions. I did not extract the file..
What seems to be the problem? Please help me..
Many thanks..
How does the file name end ???
Yeah take any symbols or decimal points out of the filename except for the extension obviously. Has to be that if the tar file in the dir isn't displayed when you go to select it in odin.
If you plan on jumping from GB to JB, back up your efs folder because you will very likely lose your imei and have to replace it. If you don't want to lose and have to fix your imei (easy to fix anyway) then you must go via an ics rom (cm9).

Tar file should end with .tar or md5.tar .... im no dev but since i have flash more than 10types of phone and some of it have been super brick.. so pls be careful....

yes i know,i saw later.can admin move this thread to help forum
i will try to use OVERCOME instalation guide,but i have one question.I cant paste the file to the TAB,because it is stucked in the samsung logo and computer dont recognize it as removable disc to paste overcome_4.0.0_wipe.zip
please any suggestions?
The first part of overcome need you to flash gb-stock-safe-v5 using Odin. Then you have a working tab with stock Samsung. You can figure out how to use copy file to it by then.
Second part to flash overcome kernel using Odin.
Seems to me you haven't even read the guide.....?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
No,i read all the guide,but after flash with gb-stock-safe-v5 using Odin some voice from tab said there is not enough space on partition.So after the flash i didnt have working tab.I can access to the download mode and recovery,but still stuck on samsung logo at the beginning.
Is it possible that internal SD gone bad??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Didn't you first repartition by flashing the gt-p1000_mr.pit file in Odin?
I was think of the same thing.
The Pit file will partition it correctly.
Also, I don't recall the tab on GB-stock-safe-v5 talks?
Isn't overcome kernel that talks?
thak you for your replays.
I was following this overcome guide from page 7.
First use :
1.) gt-p1000_mr.pit and GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar and JPZ Modem with modem.bin
2.) you have working tab ( but i dont have after this ) Overcome_7_Series_v4.0.0_Wipe.zip and paste it intothe tab
3.)flash the Overcome Kernel 4.0.0
etc,etc....
This is all procedure i have done with my tab
Yes the overcome kernel talks like this
If gb-stock-safe-v5 with pit didn't give you a working tab,
Yeah, likely it is a broken internal SD.
Odin message box no error?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
No error at all.Everything was going smooth with no problems in Odin.
Probably must be a broken internal SD.Worst case scenario
Is it possible to rechange internal SD?Or i should install ROM to external SD to have a working tab
CM/AOKP ROMs use different partition.
You could give it a try and see how it goes.
Do you have external SD? Just put aokp-jb latest or cm10.1 and gapps 20130301 on external SD card,
Flash overcome kernel using Odin, and once it is done, just force it power off.
Then boot to cwm recovery and flash the ROM three times, then gapps.
Watch the cwm screen for any error.

Yes i have external microSD slot,but i have to buy a microSD card.This is the only option to have working tab.
OK,first i will make a little research about this CM/AOKP ROMs,because this is the first time doing this,but i will learn
Can I install these CM/AOKP ROMs on internal patrition,even it is broaken or into the microSD card?
Thank you for your time and replys
For CM I think there is an option.
It was in one of the thread about Damaged Internal SD.

If GB-Stock-Safe won't work try flashing the proper stock ROM for your tab's region and following the Overcome procedure from there.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
Its very poor with ROM and updates for our region ( Slovenia ).
Fist i will restock with rom as it was original and i will try to repair it under warranty if it is possible.
Otherwise i will try any other option to make it workable
Now i arrange that my tab will be fixed under warranty.So i will downgrade it to the stock rom Froyo 2.2
Is any evidence that i tried different roms?Do i have to be careful about something?
Or i just use Odin and flash it with PIT,PDA,PHONE,CSC files and everything will be ok?do i have to change kernel either?
because i still have problem with bad internal SD.
Thak you for your help
Ps: i will use like official rom : PIT: P1.pit
PDA : P1000XWJJ7
PHONE : P1000_XXJK5_OXAJK5 (just modem.bin file )
CSC :GT-P1000-CSC-SERJJ2
