Hi All,
I have a Galaxy TAB GT-P1000 STOCK!!! Firmware Version 2.2 - Kernel [email protected]
Almost over night it developed a strange fault its just restarts goes into the home screen you can access the device for anything up to 2 mins Then it reboots.
So I thought not a problem I did a stock wipe of the device and reset. However this has not solved the problem!!!
Is this a mechanical (sticky power button) fault or is this software?
At this point I dont mind flashing the phone with a non standard ROM if needed. However would like to keep it standard if possible?
Close this one off in the end I flashed a stock ROM it worked a treat!

Hello guys,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S, I'm noob w/ Android. I read many users(not from here) saying that Lagfix really does a difference in performance, excited, I downloaded GST(Galaxy S Tweaker) and without root, instaled lagfix.
Now my Galaxy S is working, BUT, the home button stopped working and the back button is working as home button, also the camera stopped working, the touch became horrible, I can only connect to computer using Debug mode and everytime that I turn on the cellphone, appears I9000B and before appear the S logo it changes to I9000.
There's something that I can do?
I'm really desperate and don't care if lose data. I only wanna my Galaxy S working as it should be.
Eh. What's the name odd your device. Sounds like you installed lag fix for the international sgs

reflash it back to stock or flash another ROM made for the I9000 or I9000M instead of USA variants
Hello everybody.
I am having serious trouble with my phone and I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out.
I just bought my SGS 3 days ago. It came with android 2.1.1 eclair installed.
I had read that that version was not the best ( the first thing I saw when I opened the phone actually was an error screen, and the lag was horrible) so when I got home I decided to try and upgrade it using the official software for it (Kies).
Unfortunately Kies would simply disconnect my phone when I told it to upgrade, after which it would ask me to upgrade again >.>
So I decided to use Odin to flash one of the newer 2.2.1 versions.
I flashed a 'JS3' version with a repartition to 803 pit , but it crashed after rebooting with the dbdata error (which as I learned later was caused by not flashing a full firmware).
I flashed JPU after which worked great. It was fast and responsive.
However my phone kept crashing. Whether on standby, using apps, or just trying to dial a number, it would freeze, start vibrating, and sometime reset, other times just stay frozen until I force shut down it from the power button.
I flashed JS5 afterwards, with full cache clearing, factory reset etc. Still crashed.
Then I tried flashing Darky's 9.2 Ressurection. Loved it but I couldn't even set up my google account because it crashed constantly.
Then I went back to what I believe is the current official version for my location and carrier (Vodafone Romania), JP9 .
After flashing it didn't crash, but after a while (one night), it started crashing like crazy, even wound up with weird gray lines and a freeze in the morning.
I was hoping someone here might know what is wrong with it. I already sent it back to be serviced but I am thinking maybe I broke it somehow and would like to know how so I don't do it again.
The phone is network locked, which I later learned is usually a bad thing for flashing, unfortunately I didn't know about that when I started.
well first of you want to remove the network lock so try these:

next step is to register on www.samfirmware.com (its free) and here is where you will get all the latest official firmwares from samsung..
what you want to do is download (XWJS5) with all 3 files and PIT and flash that through odin with RE-PARTITION..
Before you do that, put your phone into recovery mode (volume up + Home button + Power button ) and do a factory reset / wipe cache ect...
so when you have done that and flashed the new firmware. let me know what the outcome is..
another thing.. ALWAYS MAKE SURE KIES IS CLOSED.... EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY... AND MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
other than that you shouldn't have any problems
hi, thanks for the advice.
I already did most of that however. I did a factory reset numerous times, and I also did a full repartition flash more than once, to no avail.
I am waiting to get it back from warranty service now but I am wondering what went wrong.
Was it broken when I bought it or did I damage it somehow by trying to flash it while network locked ?
flashing with network lock wouldnt make everything force close. the worst thing that could happen when flashing with network lock is not picking up a signal and possible IMEI corruption.
i think you may have just flashed the wrong ROM, it happens to us all, but the more you do it the more experienced you become and you soon learn methods to restore things..
dont worry too much it will be fine when it comes back from samsung, just be sure to read up properly if you have any doubts.. or ask a question first you will get a reply quicker than you can Unbrick your phone..
My phone seems to hate the 803 pit file. Lots of force closes when I used it. Try using 512, see if that works any better.
Good day all, first timer posting but have been reading the forms for a while now.
I have a major problem with my galaxy note GT- N7000. I have browed through the forms and have not seen a problem like mine. I really need help with my phone.
Problem:
The phone is rooted with paranoid android rom; current version PA_n7000-3.60. I have been using this for over a year with no problem, when all of a sudden the phone goes into android update screen and ever since been on that screen whatever I do. I never tried to update the rom or anything when this happened, just found it like that. All auto update are turned off.
I have tired installing the rom again using CWM and even tried installing the latest update still the problem persists.
I don’t want to format the phone because I have some very important information I will lose if I do. Cannot back up using CWM, getting error messages, cannot get access to phone via connection to my computer. I am in a jam and really need help with this.
Thanks.

OK here's you're first problem, this is not the thread for your device. Second you may need to use Odin to flash your original stock ROM. Your stock firmware can be found at www.sammobile.com or samfirmware.com. If that doesn't work it maybe a hardware problem. Next time search XDA for your phone's model number. This thread is for SGH-T879. Good luck. P.S. don't use ROM manager to flash CWM If your exact phone isn't listed. You're lucky you didn't brick your phone.

hi there! my Current rom is JB 4.2 after flashing any roms that 4.4 and higher my menu and back button dont work i tried a lot of rom but only JB 4.2 works i think theres a problem with my phone and im hoping that you can help me! im so problematic in the past few days. thank you very much. sprry for my english.
Hello, had the same problem yestarday, my phone is bricked with boot loop and no download mode. Installed Cyanogen, user about 2 hours, then installed google apps, phone switched off at some stage. Now during booting both menu and back button are blinking fast. I'm wondering if it's hardware problem, or software signaling for kernel panic, like linux do with num-lock and capslock diodes.
