Do a Google search on flashing over 3e recovery for i9000. Many tutorials available for this. You need to revert to 2e recovery.

Hi,
I flashed GB 2.3.3 (CF-ROOT 3.3) when it first came up and everything worked fine. Today I decided to check my bootloader. I installed the patch and applied it because the application said: SIGNED. When I rebooted the tab, here is what happened:
A lot of horizontal lines (green, blue, white....etc) -----> then samsung logo appeared -----> then horizontal lines again ---> then the tab main screen appeared.
The tab works fine and now the patch said "YOU ARE SAFE".
I noticed that I lost the recovery mode. ie. When I go to CWM manager ---> Recovery ---> Reboot into ClockWorkMod recovery, the tab gets stuck on samsung logo with these horizontal lines. (Same thing with Power on + Volume up )
What Should I do please ? Flash again 2.3.3 ?
Thanks in advanced.
Problem resolved. Reflashed 2.3.3 again.
Sorry to bother.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN. Flashing bootloader is practically the only way to BRICK the tab beyond repair except by sending to samsung. What you did btw was downgrade the bootloaders of your tab which is an extremely risky business.
THE GB bootloaders are signed yes but are not secured and they are needed for GB to boot making that patch pointless since kernels and mods can be installed whether bootloaders are signed or not.
Try not to flash bootloader. But some kernels will distort the boot screen. CM7 an to MoDaCo kernels for example for this, but it's nothing to worry about.

Darkpal,
It's working fine now. I got confused with Overcome 2 installation guide where it says to check bootloader and apply the patch.
Am I safe now?

Hi tupo05

How did you re-flash?
My Pc (ODIN) doesn`t find the Tab so how should i be able to reflash?
Thanks

Hi,
In my case, i was able to go to download mode and therefore the tab was recognized in Odin. So I just re-flashed 2.3.3 again following Chainfire thread in the Dev section.
SGT Running Overcome 2.0.0 RC1
Hi
Thank you so much. My Tab is running again :-D.
Which Overcome How-To do you use?
Thanks again

I noticed that sometimes I had to go in the PC device manager and delete the drivers for the tab and let Win 7 find and load them again, and as soon as that's done ODIN finds the tab and I was able to reflash. I "soft bricked" my tab about 6 times trying different ROM's and Kernals, and even an app or two. I found this practice of deleting and reloading the drivers the only way to save the tab.

Golotab,
I'm happy you're up and running again. For Overcome, just follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
it's very easy. Just don't patch the bootloader because you are already on 2.3.3
Good luck

Hi, I am facing the same situation. I just hope someone can clarify for me.
Instead of refresh 2.3.3 back, can I just follow the line (quoted) for OVERCOME??
After Overcome, can I flash MIUI ROM???
Thanks in advance.

Yes you can. Restock then flash overcome.
If you are already on overcome, you can flash Miui on the top (because you are already on ext4 system)
I hope that helps

Download DDKQ8 and flash via Odin, it is much better.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda app-developers app
Never tried this method, read it somewhere in thread, give it a try
Remove the battery and now press the buttons for downloading mode and simultaneously insert the battery,
It might get into download mode as said in that thread
If u get dld mode then flash ddkq8 by Odin

This should work. It was already mentioned above, sort of, but a full thread on unbricking wouldn't hurt. Also, when said to prepare ODIN it means to click on PDA and choose the rom you're going to flash. Everything else seems clear.

In that mode (secondary download mode) you should be able to flash if Odin detects.
Sometimes you need to keep trying until suddenly Odin detects it, and flash away.

Hi priyana,
I do have the same problem with my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and I am getting the same screen.
Did flash my device with Odin but the wrong something cwm10.x , forgot which one I used (well done I know )
It is a Vodafone (Germany) Galaxy Tab 7 (GT-P1000).
May I ask some questions:
What do you mean with "flash it away" what do you suggest him to use for flashing?
What is it? A Recovery? A Bootloader ...? And where can one find/get it?
Stupid questions - I got confused while reading thousands of threads on different websites...
But anyway, I would be thankful if you could point me to the right file I could use to flash on my Galaxy Tab ...
Thanks
Hi Hotstart,
I mean flash a stock ROM in Odin once Odin see the tab.
One good complete ROM is gb-stock-save-v5 that Team Overcome packed together.
Follow my signature.
There is that and a PDF guide, you need the page 7 of it for what to put in Odin.
Not for ruthlessbeatle, as this is for GSM P1000 only.

Hi priyana,
thank you for your advice!
Currently I am stuck because in the middle of the flashing process the tab switched off maybe due to a low battery.
But is starting with the secondary download screen again - so I am hoping to be able to load it bit better for the next try.
Will let you know whatever outcome there will be.

Hi, two days ago I've soft bricked my tab: GT-P1000(SPAIN/VODAFONE).And yesterday I successfully unbricked it using these files:
P1000BUJQ5_P1000ATLJQ1_ATL.zip
P1_add_hidden.pit
When I tried to boot it just got stuck on the samsung logo, I saw some tutorials saying that you should Factory Reset it, but I got this Error:
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Please I really need some help
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issues as you guys. Gingerbread is so freakin unstable its not funny. I want to get off it but there seems to be no normal way to do this for my particular tab? Cause all the guides and recommendations I have followed do NOT work. I have posted my own thread in this section and have had not a single person reply? Is this place dead now? Are there no XDA members out there who are able to help?
Question. If a bootloader is locked at Froyo and you flash an unlocked Gingerbread bootloader is it now unlocked?
Anyway to the guy above me the attachment should be able to help you. Flash it with Odin as PDA :good:

That was the one that I used that allowed my device to boot. I also noted that this file was a different size to the one in the stock firmware that I downloaded. I also found out that no matter how much I tried I could not get the device to even boot using stock carrier branded firmware? So yeah that is as much as I can give you mate. I am a n00b in these areas (have dev'd for SGS1 and a number of other devices but I am n00b here in Galaxy Tab section) so I am still learning about this device.
