Hi guys.
I kinda mad a big mistake. I have a galaxy tab p1000 and mistakenly flashed a firmware which belongs to p1010. Yeah silly!!!!!! The flash was successful but it totally killed the tab. It will not boot at all no power whatsoever. I left it in the charger for like two hours nothing
is there hope?? Or did that firmware do damage to the tab?? Can i repair it myself or does it need to go to be revived at samsung. Or i hung myself???
Help please.
Have you tried booting into download mode? Once you do, flash it back to stock. You can find stock ware in the dev section. Doubt its truly bricked.

Just curious...
If you just bricked your tab, why does your Signature show that you're using a GT-P1000 to post?
Well i am lucky to have 2 tabs and galaxy s. Imma a samsung fanboy/man. And it pains me to know i might have bricked one tab. If u will be so kind n give me a solution??

Thinking that your battery has been ran out.
Just left it to charge for 4-5 hours and try again.
Bricking the device isn't such easy. I made unbelieveble things with my tabs but got it to work again. But I also stucked to that battery thing.
Did you flash the bootloader as well? If you did and the bootloader goes out to lunch, then the Oden/Heimdall tools won't be of much use. In such a case you might be able to find some instruction on how to use a JTAG module to fix the tab. Though, taking the device apart is probably not a trivial thing.
I flashed the tab with firmware from the p1010 tab and mines p1000. So im assuming it erased everything. How much can a service repair cost??Cause if there is no option apart from jtag. I have to to send it in!!!!!
As i cant get any response whatsoever. Left it overnight charging, plugged it into the comp restarting stuff. Tried tricking it by plugging galaxy s and tab at the same time. But nothing.?????
I have a captivate (UCJH7)...
i flashed a few different roms then i flashed back to stock using 'I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe'.. then it stopped going into download/recovery.Then i udated to 2.2 using kies. Then i wanted to flash cognition so i used adb to went to download mode. i flashed the speedmod kernel using odin and it rebooted and then "PHONE ! COMPUTER" symbol..
I cannot boot..
All i see is the phone ! comp symbol
I used 3 button combo,
tried removing everyting and holdin vol up+down then putting the battery
Odin doesnt recognize the phone and adb doesnt list any connected device
DOES THIS MEAN ITS OVER.. is it permanant brick?
or is there anything i can do???
everything i did uptill now was with the forums help so maybe somone has a solution
Thanx in advance

Remove Battery insert usb cable hold vol up/down power put in batt release power button only keep holding vol up/down should go right in to download mode. I've done this many a time.
o/` Search the forums, buy a jig, doo-dah doo-dah,
People create threads about this exact problem, all the live long day o/`
if you get it up and going with the above meathod (should work) then definately use the 3-button fix next time. only once though because flashing bootloaders can be dangerous. once the recovery mode is working with button combo then flash speedmod (as long as the rom you want is on the sd card) or flash 2.2 then speedmod so the phone will be bootable.
also i'd redownload speedmod if you want to start over. could have been a bad download. also could have been a windows problem or a bad cable. hope you get it working.

I had this same thing one where no button combo worked to get into download mode. Turns out that i needed to restart my computer. who would have thought.
Pheww! I was out of hopes and was definitely going to buy the jig but just to see what happens if I pressed and hold the 3 buttons I long pressed them and the symbol disappeared and then came back then disappeared again then i left the buttons cuz I thought ill definitely need a jig so I let the buttons go and BAM! I was in download mode and I flashed serendipity

I am on ROM number 3 and have yet to run into any problems, but will be trading an extended life i9000 battery to a friend who has 2 jigs. The batt was sent to me by mistake, and is being replaced without me having to send back (not worth the shipping cost to the seller), so that works out for both of us.
.. And yes, it will turn my cappy into a camel, but I'm ok with that.

Ok lets get straight to the point, I got a brand new captivate from at&t. Ive always used custom roms but never had an android. So of course i wanted to flash a custom rom. So i prepared my phone and followed ALL instructions for flashing a custom ROM. I couldnt run any update.zip files thoe because of the stupid verify thing. So LISTEN, I took the patch that patches 3e recovery back to 2e recovery aka kernal swap.....then everything worked fine and i got cwm to load and installed Apex_7.
AFTER the install was complete i was so excited. I selected reboot now, the AT&T logo came up and then the screen went all jacked up(looked like a broke screen) then went to the samsung logo and just keeps replaying it.
So after seeing this i freaked out and pulled the battery. Then i went and researched before doing anything else i came to the conclusion i needed to download odin pre-packed so i downloaded the odin stock installer.
Now LISTEN I put my phone into download mode ran odin and it said it succesfuly installed after about 3 minutes. So i then turn the phone off then turned it back on, it booted to the at&t logo then the screen goes black and loads at&t logo again (constant loop that heats the phone up)
AND NOW if i try to get into download mode it goes to the battery screen with no animation just a battery and a loading symbol
ALSO( I have made a usb jig ) BUT my ohm meter will not read the resistance of more than 2 resistors when i add the third one it reads it really fast and then shows nothing.
PLEASE HELP ME I LOVE THIS PHONE MORE THAN MY IPHONE OR MY HTC.
Credit will be given. I know someone here can save me from the dreaded face-to-face with at&t!!!!
Edit: Also when i got the phone i noticed a line of dead pixels on the left side very hard to see unless u look closely think i could get the phone replaced by using this as my excuse. idk what to say to AT&T if i do have to return. But i really hope not ive never ever had such problems flashing anyphone.
Please do not double post. You already asked (correctly) in the Apex sticky. No need to start another separate thread.
I posted both places because my problem may or may not be related to Apex. If Apex has nothing todo with my problem then i have correctly posted here.
Edit: Im trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone
You are not fully bricked if your phone powers on at all. Just need a working jig. You can buy them from multiple sources

Finally shed me some light. Thats awsome dude thanks. I made my jig exactly how they make theres it wont work. The only thing i can think is im touching the wrong pins. I touch the top and bottom pins on the micro usb closest to the 3.5mm headphone jack???
It takes allot of trail and error and if the resistance is not right it won't work. purchase one from somewhere, search captivate usb jig on youtube, should find a source

Thanks il try a couple more times with my homemade jig if not il purchase one.
Thanks again.
You'll need to build a new jig or buy one(Moiletechvideos is what I would suggest), because if you can't get into download mode then you cannot be helped any further. And Miami_Son is right, you're not exempt from the rules. I realize it can be frustrating if something goes wrong, but you need to just cast that aside for the time being.

Ok i had my buddy come over and tried his jig that he bought online it looked like it had been manufactured just to be a jig we plugged it in and nothing ? any ideas
and i posted in the Apex thread to see if anyone could link my problem to apex then i also posted a similar story here to find a solution to my problem the Apex thread is just to narrow down the cause.
First, what is your phones revision ( on the back of phone, like 1008 ,1101 etc. ) i would just start over. Get that
phone in download mode, search for A10 TOOLBOX/captivate toolbox, everything you need is there. Two. Did your 3button combo work before? And your sure you cant get into recovery by your buttons?

I appreciate you taking your time to help. My phone is the SGH-I897 i could still use the 3 button combo before Odin and recovery but after i ran odin thats when everything got really jacked up now i cant get into recovery or download i think im not doing this jig thing right but if im correct i have a striped usb plug. With the screen facing down i have three prongs on the bottom and two on the top i touch the far right prongs top and bottom and hold for about 10 seconds. Thanks dude seriously I just got this phone and loved it but got tired of at&t bloating my phone with bs that eats my memory.
EDIT: the number next to the big CE is 0168 or what u might want is 1105 rev 0.4
EDIT: Also i dont understand what the diff is between rogers 2.6 and captivate 2.5 and how can i use these tools without a booting phone.

Does your buddies JIG work just fine in other phones? If so you may have a short in pin 4 or 5 of your USB port. Are you able to issue the "adb reboot download" command when the phone is bootlooping? I have ADB command videos on youtube just search for them for help on that. Either way if you can't get it resolved with any conventional methods, I can restore the phone using advanced JTAG just PM me for info.

No problem bro, if i help just hit thanks. If cant figure our making the jig, i would just buy. Its a good investment for the future especially if tour flashing roms. Mobiletechvideos has one for 8 bucks and ships in couple days. They work wonders. The A10 toolbox/ captivate toolbox. Worka great, just search google and. Install it. Its got everything youll need packed inside. EX: it comes with the drivers, odin1click and 3buttonfix odin ( which youll need to do)
It also comes with the pda and tar files youll need, it also lets you root it but i suggest the one click root for captivate, get all that done first and well go from there.

I have a similar problem, Some times, my phone just go in charging status when no cable is connected. Also, some times, the cable is connected and charging is shown on the screen but actually battery is not charging instead draining battery much more rapidly.... I connected my phone to PC when it had 13% battery.... and after an hour its left with just 2% showing charging status .... it not happens every time but happens a lot!
So far I have reflashed different ROM 2-3 time with full wipe/reset. I have also updated to XXLQB fimware using odin.... so far no improvement! :crying:
the situasions you guys having will finally end up in bricking the device.
i had exact the same problem, it started with random charging while not plugged, then not charging when plugged in. next thing was that my phone didnt get discovered by a pc in any mode. last thing happen was it never turned on after a restart.
ssc replaced a part where you plug the cable and earphones in. everything is back to normal since then.

well, mine was 'fine' too, but all of a sudden it wasn't.
there's propably no easy way to avoid anything that has sth to do with hardware. using originall accesories is the only thing that comes to my mind.
tbh, i have the invoice somewhere, for the parts that've been replaced. thats the only lead what went wtong with my phone.

So it is a hardware problem. I was truly wishing it has some thing to do with firmware... I have one last hope by trying to downgrade to GB.

I would love to hear an angel saying that it is a software/firmware issue and can be fix without fiddling the hardware. Is there any?

Ok. First off I'm new here so be nice.. lol had to get that out of the way.
First off I'm out of my wits end.. I have been searching the internet for 2 days for information as to how to get this tablet up and running and as great as the info I have found, it's in pieces and I seem to be at the end of my rope so to say. I have downed so many thing thinking it's what I need I don't know what to use or not.
A friend of mine messed up his Tablet BAD and said if I can get it running it's mine, he is not good with fixing computers and such.
I'm able to get into the download screen (power - down vol ) recovery (power- up vol) When I turn it on it loops the Verizon wireless screen. Also the SD card is computer formatted as I thought that is how I was to do it, ugh,. There is no steps as to how or where to get it to the way it was. If I try to recover it gives me a ton of errors for cache and that it can't find files. I have Odin but can't see the tablet with it, heimdall-suite-1.3.2 helped me to get to the meat of the tablet. SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse but have not used it as I'm not sure how. I'm told that it needs to be FLASHED with the OS I guess. So what OS do I use, there are so many out there. And how do I do it? Would like to get the SD card back to normal too.
Thanks for reading and helping.. o' the version is 11.08 that I see no one has mentioned or does that matter. Am I In the right area? OR is it a Tab 2? or 7.7. or something else.. ugh
