Database Develop

Need clever people

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.

[SOLVED] soft bricked p1000(GSM)

today i tried remove Google maps from my tab using titanium backup. I tried install another version of maps but it didn't work so I restored backup what I did before uninstalling. I rebooted my tab and it gets past boot loco and "first" boot animation. Tab goes to Samsung loco (second boot animation) but it vibrates one time and then three times (something fc) and it freezes for few seconds and then it starts "second" boot animation again (Samsung loco). this continuous forever. I tried data wipe in stock recovery but it didn't help. Can someone help me and give me full instructions because I have never modded any Samsung device (I have Huawei u8800 witch doesn't have download mode etc.) I have only Mac so I can't use odin. I think I have no warranty because my dad got this tab from one conference in Portugal. Thanks for all who can help me.
I have rooted stock 2.2 firmware.

If you are trying to go back to unrooted stock firmware, you can follow this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19763536#post19763536
If you want safe rooted gingerbread download this gb-stock-safe on teamovercome website:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=21
Use the same set of instructiom on the first post except for the downloading part.
If you want to flash a nice and stable ROM, you can download the latest version of teamovercome ROM. Look around on the dev forum, and search for teamovercom.

Thanks, I'll try later today when I'm in home.

Oh I missed what you said about having only Mac and no PC.
Please use heimdall, see this post:

Also, since you were from froyo (2.2), if you want to upgrade to gingerbread, you have a better chance flashing gb-stock-safe from the teamovercome website.
Follow the instruction about fixing bootloader (I think you will need to find windows for this one).
Otherwise, you will need to find pit file (repartition) and dbdata.rfs because many gingerbread ROM packages (zip or rar files) do not contain pit file or dbdata.rfs in it -- I upgraded a froyo to gingerbread without fixing the bootloader before..by repartitioning with the pit file and laoding GB's dbdata.rfs but Can't guarantee it will work for yours.

Use a file explorer.

I can't boot phone and I think data wipe disabled USB debugging.
EDIT: I can access adb in recovery but it doesn't mount sdcard.
EDIT: I'll try flashing cf-root first so I can use CWM to get my files from internal sdcard.

Oh you are trying to retrieve data from internal sd card, my bad.
Ok. Installing cf-root may solve ur problem.

I try first get data from internal sd and then unbrick tab... Odin for Mac didn't recognize device...now trying to use heimdall in virtual box.

While we are at this, may I ask if anyone has their internal SD wiped during restocking to gb-stock-safe v5 using odin or heimdall?
Or when flashing any rom.
I recently use heimdall to flash the stock safe with repartition and the card isn't wiped.

I read overcome guide and it said it will wipe all, but I think it will only wipe all if you install overcome kernel + rom.

I have no experience in Mac but I thought it should be driverless like Linux.
In Ubuntu I only need to add one line in my udev rules, and install android sdk
And when I plug in my device, and type
adb devices
It shows my serial number
Then I unpack my heimdall and I can flash.
Maybe you read a bit about installing android sdk and how to use adb with p1000 with adb in Mac.
Once ad see it, put in download mode and you can flash with heimdall.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA

I have Android sdk and I have used adb on my Mac. It recognizes my tab with adb devices at least in recovery mode. I'll try flashing overcome stock gb tomorrow.
Sent from my U8800 using Tapatalk 2

I really don't know which process will wipe your internal sd, and what will be the safest way.
But I am quite sure that I have been switching kernels when I was on overcome, and it didn't touch my internal sd.
But you can try flash cf-root kernel like yappoe said,
then boot to recovery and mount the internal sd
you can then pull the files from adb.. or at least that is what I think...
Anyway, if you decide to proceed with re-stock, I did it like this:
$ heimdall flash --repartition --pit ./gt-p1000_mr.pit --factoryfs ./factoryfs.rfs --cache ./cache.rfs --dbdata ./hidden.rfs --primary-boot ./boot.bin --secondary-boot ./Sbl.bin --param ./param.lfs --kernel ./zImage
hope it helps.

Hey Priyana, I got the same problem.
I can boot to download mod but cant boot recovery mod, and my device is also not recognized when connected to PC
Any suggestion?

Usually just have to keep trying for Odin to detect the device.
Failing that you need a fresh pc.

follow my signature go get the GB-stock-safe-v5 and also the overcome guide.
Follow the page 7 instruction on how to use Odin.
The Odin needs to be version 1.7, like the one included in GB-stock-safe-v5
When driver is good, Odin detects your tab when it is in Download mode, and you can flash the GB-stock-safe-v5

P1000 stay on boot, ''Internal MMC checksum failed''

Hi all,
i bought a galaxy tab last month, and i installed cyanogenmod 9 nightlies. i was using without problem. but after 23.07 nightlies i got play store error. it wouldnt open. i saw that google account was removed. than i wanted full factory reset and wipe sd card and than clean cyanogenmod install...
Off course clockwork recoverymod was also deleted (i know i am stupid!)
Than i found some p1000 stock roms and tried install with odin. And i did it, installed rom without problem but when i turn my tablet on its waiting on boot screen. it doesnt turn on. stays on boot.
I found this when i was on recovery mod (tablets stock recovery) SEE ATTACHMENT PLEASE.
Now i have a tablet and i cant do anything. I think if i have a 3 files stock rom i can flash it with odin.
Do you know what do i have to do now? Please help me guys

You have gone this far for nothing.
No Play or Gmail means you just need to flash gapps.
I know people say nightlies no need to flash gapps.
But if gapps is missing, just flash gapps again.
Now you are at this stage,
use Overcome method:
Go to overcome site
Http://www.teamovercome.net
Read the guide,

Follow the picture step by step.
Basically to restock:
Download GB-stock-safe-v5.zip, unzip it and and flash with ODIN according to the guide.
Once done, continue to flash overcome kernel tar using Odin
and then boot to CWM recovery and flash CM9 twice
then flash gapps.
Hopefully that solve your problem.

You can restock using GB stock safe v5 once, then flash your N stock GB again.
Or if your stock has pit file, you don't need GB stock safe v5.

Anyway it doesn't need to be GB. You want pit file so Odin can repartition the storage.

well, I don't know for sure.
But the P1000N/L has different touch screen driver in their kernel.
You can flash it using Odin and you can even use the recovery, since CWM isn't touch screen based.
But that is not what I am saying above.
You asked for guide, I said Overcome guide is clear.
Have you even download the PDF and read?
Page 7/8 has picture of what to put in Odin fields. You can put GB stock safe v4, v5, or whatever, a Panama or Trinidad based GB, or even Froyo, the picture is still going to be the same (or similar).
So, use your froyo, use the guide. (or not) up to you.

This error regularly happens when flashing stock ROMs. Then you will have to download and flash dbdata.tar as PDA in Odin (Google "P1000 dbdata.tar"; it's about 1.25MB or so). This solves it for me and a few others.

OK so I am using the correct PIT, or so I understand. I even tried reflashing the dbdata.tar as PDA in Odin. Still no change.
Could this have an affect on the modem of the tab as well and cause it not to read the sim?

No clue, never had to reflash my modem. That may have introduced a wild variable into the equation, because usually the dbdata trick fixes that problem.
I advise starting the whole Overcome restock process from the beginning. Try to ignore the modem part.

YAY! Fully rooted with SU and BusyBox Installed. I restocked to Froyo with PIT and Re-partition, then reflashed Froyo again (no PIT). Then flashed the dbdata.rfs.tar file. Then I was able to use Superoneclick to root and install SU & BB.

Unbrick Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000

Having looked at the thread regarding a similar predicament that I have (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783556), I'm keen to know I can use ODIN to put on a new ROM. Basically these are the steps I've followed;
1. Used KIES to update my ROM from Gingerbread to ICS
2. Use ODIN to update root my phone with CM9 safe kernel (not knowing it would have been significantly better to have copied my new AOKP ICS ROM to the internal SD card first)
3. Rebooted my phone and cannot get past 'SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE GT-N7000' logo.
4. I can still boot into download mode and use ODIN but wondered how I should use it to install a ROM as none of the ROM's I've downloaded, are in the correct .tar, md5, smd format, that OSIN is looking for ?

First of all, I'm not sure if this is the answer your looking for, but here is it anyway.
IN PC ODIN, there is a 'PDA' button (same button you flashed your kernel to), you need to download the ROM's zip file and flash it from there.

Stock ROM file you download is zip, you need to extract it one time to get into .tar, then you can use that file with pda of odin.

Would these be the files needed to get my phone back up and running? I am new to Android and screwed my phone up after a factory reset, now it just reads downloading for ages and does nothing. I still get a screen that reads Hyperdroid RedPill Recovery when i power on with volume button up pressed. Volume down I get Android man and it reads downloading but does nothing.
I have looked all over for this situation but seem to get a piece here and there and not the exact same issue all in one so I am reluctant to just do something and make it worse.
Please advise

That is downloading mod, it won't do anything but remain as it is, if you don't do anything.
You need to connect you device to PC in this state and have to use odin
