[Q] Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE P7320 brick during root - HOWTO recover ? - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Dear all,
I need your advise / help.
Friend of my asking me for help to recovery his Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE, he tell me that, during his root process, he brick his Tab 8.9. Now the tab is showing Black all time. I taken a look, and connected to Data USB cable, connect it to PC.
This WIN7 OS direct the tab and install USB driver. When I push on/off button, the tab seems reboot itself into loop. But the screen not showning anything at all.
I put it into Samsung charger ( not USB to PC). But it does not shown the Big icon of battery. But I know it is live. As the PC response with installing USB driver. But the USB drive was pickup wrongly, as some kind of USB reader. NOT the Tab 8.9.
What is the best way to recovery this tab 8.9 to factory ROM ? I did downloaded lastest P7320ZHLP8_P7320ZZHLP8_P7320ZHLP2_CL1174893_user_l ow_HOME.tar from sammobile.com and have ODIN 1.85 ready. I just need to find a way to get this tab into download MODE.
Can you help and advise.
many thanks
James

If Odin recognizes the device flash the stock tar. The yellow com port will show up in Odin if it recognizes it.

Yes, I did tried ODIN, but it does not flag up yellow com port, as it needs to be in download mode in order for ODIN to connect the tab.

It sounds like you're hard bricked. If it's still in warranty Samsung should fix it. If its not look for a jtag service for the tab.

i see. May I know what is "jtag service for the tab" ?
thanks

Google it. It's the only way to repair a hard brick.

hard brick ?
but it is live. able to connect pc usb with response. so just software issues right ?

That's typical of a hard brick. It's not completely dead but the only way you'll get any firmware on it is jtag.

thanks for clarify , it is out of warranty, will advise my friend by it back to samsung repair.
Sent from my GT-N7100

by the way, the tab still up running on battery, my guess if it I let it discharge itself, until battery flat, so it acturally shutdown.
Then charge it again, will it able to get into download mode ?
cheers

I would try it but I don't think so. I had a tab that bricked and all I could do was have Samsung repair it. It was still under warranty.

RIFF JTAG box can help ?

But it was being installed with wcm recovery, how can I restore it back to factory rom ?
Thanks

Use Odin to flash the stock rom. You can get the rom at sammobile.com. you'll have to sign up but it's free. You can extract the tar.md5 file out of the zip file using 7-zip. Flash the md5 file.

[Q] Anybody plz take a look here...

is there any solution for my gtab after being like this...i'v boot to recovery mod n format my data and my "system" file...then when i'm try to reboot my device it stuck at boot screen "Galaxy Tab"...
it can go to download mod but that odin can't recognize my tab....
its ok don't be afraid , its always happen to me , when am trying to made theme or something ... u go flash the stock gingerbread via odin , and then flash overcome gingerbread , that if u want it ..... its not a big deal
maybe you can re-install your kies , maybe your usb driver something happen to it ..
Seems strange that Odin doesn't recognise your Tab. Have you got any other USB ports you can try? Does the trick for me when Odin doesn't recognise my Tab.
Edit: I had the same issue after i flashed CM7. As Darkpal said, reinstall the drivers, try a different USB port and you should be fine.
Hope this helps.

Yes from that image your tab seems messed up pretty good. But far from bricked. check your drivers in your computer. They might've been borked or something. Also do as GANJ said try another slot
Download mode, flash a good rom in Odin.
If one pc isn't recognizing your tab, try a different usb port or different pc.
Thank's ya all for replying...i think may be cause of i'm trying to flash via different pc from before...the problem is my pc got screen problem n cannot boot...lol
Anyway tq n i'll report back...when i'm done...lol

In that case you have to sync with Kies before Odin will recognise it.

[Q] Probably hardbricked Galaxy Mini

I undesirably flashed recovery image on my Galaxy Mini with ROM Manager to probably unsupported CWM. No I can't boot my phone.
Odin and Kies can't detect my phone.
I can't access recovery or download mode.
Phone is rooted and installed Gingerbread 2.3 on it.
Is there way to unbrick it?
Yes, Samsung service center. Play dumb, and don't ever mention root, flashing or ROM manager

Take it to a repair shop and ask them to do a usb jig, to get your phone into download mode.

I tried. Battery indicator seem but no changing on its status.
Now I can open downloading mode. But Odin dont see my tab. Pc see hardware but odin dont. If I try to open recovery mode. Tab stay in Galaxy Tab splash screen. Is there any suggestion?
Just keep trying in download mode, make sure fully charged. Open Odin first and files ready, then boot tab o download mode, sometimes it will see the tab, flash away.
You may also want to search for oneclick unbrick thread.

Usually it will. Just keep trying.
If possible, get a fresh computer with xp 32 bit, install the USB driver that us in GB stock safe, and run odin that is in GB stock safe.
My preference s to run Linux with heimdall 1.3.1

[Q] Help: Flashed the bootloader of my Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000 with the wrong binary

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000. Using Odin3 v3.04 I (accidently) flashed the Bootloader with the wrong binary. With the Auto-Reboot option selected on the Odin3, the device turned off and is not turning on again.
Before flashing, my Tab had the official Samsung GB 2.3.3 (P1000JPJPC if I am not mistaken).
Some threads suggest that I charge the Tab using the wall charger for 4 hours, and see if the battery icon appears on the screen or not, then connect the tab to the PC. I did that. I connected the Tab to the wall charger overnight. Nothing appeared on the screen. Then the next morning I connected the Tab to the PC, nothing happened. The PC does not recognize that there is anything connected on its USB port.
The Tab is not turning on. I've tried to press (and long press) almost every combination of the Tab's keys I could think of, but the Tab just won't turn on.
I guess I hardbricked my device (as explained in this thread)
I don't think I'll be able to apply the Unbrickable process explained here.
Having said that, my question is: Is there anything else I can do at home to revive my Tab, or do I need to send it to Samsung repair center?
-Adel
I think you brick it.
Flashing bad boot loader kills the tab.

If you've completely killed your tab, what can be done to fix it. I have a similar problem with my tab in that it gets to the screen that says samsung galaxy tab and then stops there. I have been searching the net and have rooted the tab and then tried to flash firmware but i am struggling to get the tab to read the ext sd card with the firmware on it.I don't really know my way around this type f thing but have to figure it out because I can't afford to take it in to be repaired right now. Advise will be appreciated.

Your problem is different from OP.
Can you boot to download mode? Can you boot to recovery, if so which recovery (stock or cwm).
Ave you tried Overcome method , as in my signature?

Hi Priyana,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, as far I could tell from reading up on it, I would guess mine is not bricked.
I can boot to download mode and to recovery - cwm (v3.0.0.5). I have tried downloading Overcome and anything else I thought might work but this is where I get stuck. I've wiped the cache and other things like that described on the net and on videos (actually this is what got me into this in the first place). When I copy a .zip file onto the external sd card and put it in the tab, I can't install the zip from the sd card because it can't find the directory I made. I'll have a look in your signature and see what I can find there but any guidance would be much appreciated.
Komplotter,
Yeah, I am not sure about cwm 3.0 accessing external SD.
Try using overcome restock, jump to page 7 PDF.
Flash stock, then overcome kernel.
That gives cwm 5.0

Hi,
I managed to get CWM 5.5.0.4 and get ICS installed in my tab by using two files (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS and P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ). I would still like to use Overcome and I have had a brief look at the installation guide. I'll have a more thorough look and then give it a shot. I see that there is a version 4.1.0. Would I use that in that same way as the 4.0.0 ROM, because the Overcome7_ROMv4_Wipe file won't extract (there seems to be a problem with it and I've downloaded it twice).
You don't need the overcome ROM.
Just GB stock safe and overcome kernel.

Wipe data before installation of ROM. Use wipe or paramfiles in this forum before flashing firmware.

You could try first taking out your battery for 5 minutes.
Then press and hold the buttons to enter download mode while putting the battery back to it's place.
Hope it helps you.
Unfortunately this method doesn't helped.

Google for jig make or buy one , its cheap , and try plugging it in - if it works you should be in download mode and can re flash stock via odin.
Else only way left is to jtag by taking it to Samsung service centre
leap before you think
