Go to sammobile.com. you have to register but it's free. You can get the stock roms there. You'll download a zip file. Use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file and use that in odin. Use odin v1.85.

Odin does recognize your device? What happens when you try to flash?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

I have attached a print screen of what happens.

I can't see but I assume you have auto reboot checked. If so,I would redownload the rom file. It could be a bad download.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yes I have auto reboot checked. I have already re-downloaded the file, same result.

Idk, sounds like you tried everything I would do. It's sounding like it's internal hardware failure. Can you get into recovery mode? I assume not. But if you can try a factory reset.

Hey JD
Am back up and running!! you would never guess what the issue was. I was using a Mac Pro, which had windows installed on it using VMWare Fusion. So then i decided to try a PC since Odin does not work on Mac and wouldn't you know it WORKED!! now all i need to do is fined the best way to root my Samsung Galaxy 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers. Any ideas? Thanks for all the help you provided

Hey JD
I figured it out, you would never guess what the issue was. I was using a Mac Book Pro, which running windows instead of using a windows PC. So i decided to try using a PC and it worked.. Thanks for all your help.... Now what is the best way you suggest to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE (SGH-I957R) Rogers?

You'll need to put a custom recovery on your tab using Odin. Flash it just like the stock rom. Then you'll need to flash superuser-busy box thru the custom recovery. Download that on you tab. I have the files on dev host and I'll post links for you when I get on my pc.
Recovery. http://d-h.st/fqw
Supersu. http://d-h.st/vjq
Use install in twrp (the recovery) to install super user. Then boot, once booted look for super su in your apps and click on it. It will update to the latest version. You'll be rooted.

[Flashing] I f***** up, help needed.

Zup,
I rooted a while ago, and since i'm running Ubuntu i haven't managed to get CWM yet, so i noticed that i can use Odin Mobile Pro to do it so i installed it and downloaded the correct kernel. I opened OMP and browsed to find the kernel on the internal memory but i can't choose it (it's a .RAR-file), so i extract it to see what's hidden inside. According to Odin i can flash "zImage" so i do it. Big big mistake.
The phone won't boot now, and the only thing i get is the "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000.
What to do?
Thanks in advance
I can enter Download mode, and that's it. Some help here please?
Use pc odin and flash a stock rom. You must be in download mode

Thanks.
Where can i find a stock ROM? And do i need ADB installed or is it OK with the drivers from Kies? I'm asking since i'm using Ubuntu so i'll have to use my brothers PC, so i can't install a freaking SDK.
Got a stock ROM now, downloaded the ADB files and Odin, so i'll see if that works..
You should just try to read a little more
Kies drivers should be fine. Go to the development forum and you will find stock roms thread.

Yeah, i noticed this when i had downloaded 300MB of LA4, so i didn't bother to stop it and select a rootable ROM I just wanted to get my Note working again. But i'm already missing root like crazy, so i think i'm gonna downgrade and root it again very soon.
Edit: Wait a minute.. I was rooted, i messed the phone up, flashed LA4, booted up the phone, nothing got wiped but i lost root.
ya it is nonwipe version so even with PC Odin, you won't lose anything BUT just ROOT
Aha!
But if i choose to flash another ROM with PC Odin, will i get the triangle at boot? Do i only get the triangle when i flash unofficial ROMs like CM9?
I'm a little unclear on these parts.

No it won't give you triangle if you flash any stock ROM. It gives only when you flash custom(yes like rocket/CM9)

I have the same problem right now. I'm trying to recover this problem

My Verizon Tab showing phone connecting to a pc. Please Help.

I am having a problem to get my Tab i800 identified by Heimdall. My tab is stock and I might have messed up kernel so I dont have service bars at all. it is always in airplane mode. When I try to use Heimdall it says "failed to detect compatible device". I looked all around and even posted my problem in some threads but did not get any result. My final goal is to get to CM9.
I wanted to post my problem in general forum but I did not wan to break rules of the forum. Please help, any assistance is appreciated.
Update: My Tab now shoeing a phone connecting to a pc. I was having problems with drivers. Now I have ubuntu and do not know what to do next.

I was thinking the same thing about drivers but before i was able to resolve any software problems. This tab is pain in the rear. I owned fascinate and charge both were piece of cake to root or flash. Currently i have razr. Even with the locked bootloader it is easier to deal with than this tab.

I used odin and it screwed up the kernel. It was clearly my fault but I can fix it. All the guides/zips are made for heimdall.
Because i am tired of researching. I looked all trough internet. Other forums, google and even searched here with sucky search option that xda has. With No results.

Off top of head...
Install Kies (it installs needed drivers)
Make sure kies is not running then use overcome guide to re-stock/partition device (install safe-stock rom then overcome kernel/rom)
Put desired ICS based rom on sd, use recovery to wipe data/cache, flash.

I have verizon galaxy tab. Now I have a phone connecting to a pc sign with an exclamation mark in the triangle. Great, I think I accidentally disconnected the cable while it was flashing trough Odin.
The good news is Odin still sees the tab. I am not sure about Heimdall though.

My problem is heimdall. My pc is getting drivers for the tab for Haimdall to work. I tried pretty much everything with no luck. Since I had lots of experience with Odin. I am comfortable flashing trough Odin. But all the guides that I found recently is for Heimdall for some reason. I will try to use Heimdall on different pc(same win7 64bit) to see if that works. If not I need to find a way to flash it trough Odin.
you should really try to put ubuntu on usb stick.
Just download the iso of the latest and get unetbootin (free apps for windows too).
Use it to create USB stick, and it has option to leave spare space on the USB disk to allow for changes to be written on.
Boot it up and install heimdall.

Messed up and need help with brick

I was running 208 ics, and wanted to jump to 217 ics with the new tool for ics only. Ran the tool with the associtated flash file and the update failed. The phone would do nothing but go into stock recovery, so like an idiot I did a factory reset. If there is way to recover the phone please let me know. Thanks.
Just fast boot back and try again.
Make sure you are using the right kernel and have it named correctly, ICSFIX.IMG iirc (though I'd check the instructions)

GT-P7300 Stuck on Loading...

I used Odin to download, but now the Tab is stuck as it just keeps saying loading...
I tried disconnecting the battery, but that didn't work.
Any ideas?

What did you try to download and do you have a custom recovery installed, twrp or cwm? With whatever recovery you have try doing a factory reset and wipes.

Thanks for answering...
I believe I was trying to download a new CWM with odin. I'm not sure how to use a factory reset and wipes as I can't use anything on the GT, as it is stuck. As this point I am hoping that the new IC firmware will be available through Kies.
I can still use Odin from the PC through Kies, though.
Thanks again!

Does Odin recognize your device? If so you can flash the stock rom from sammobile.com. You need to extract the .tar.md5 file from the zip. Use 7-zip to do that

Again, thanks for responding...
At this point I'm afraid of "Bricking it" before I can have a chance to update the firmware to IC. Hopefully that will be soon.
I really don't know what I am doing, and I have already screwed it up. The GT Honey Comb is working fine, but I can't do anything to upgrade it, internally, as everything is stuck within the GT!
At one point I was trying to upgrade to Jelly Bean, but now I'm just hoping to just get IC. If I can get the IC downloaded through Kies, I'm thinking that the new firmware upgrade using Kies will take care of things. What do you think?
I guess I can live without Jelly Bean.
But I'm willing to give something else a try, however, I would need detailed, step-by-step "For Dummies" directions on what I should do; and as kind as you are, I wouldn't want to ask you to do that?
Kind regards,
Golf Educator
Hi. Don't be scared of losing your device. Will try to walked you thru the process.. just to be more clearer. Can you write down all your device info such as current firmware that u r using? And also do tell us the region ( im XME -Malaysia) because sometimes not all the stock rom can be use to upgrade..
You may need :-
1- kies(for drivers)
2- cables
3- charge your tab to 80%
4- windows/os of ur pc or Mac
After you post all of the info. I or we will try our best to walk you thru the process

Okay, here we go... let's shoot for Jelly Bean!
Model number: GT-p7300, that has wifi with G3, European Version, as I work with the US military at RAF Lakenheath, England, and bought it locally. I am in the London world-time zone. Five hours earlier than EST.
Android version: 3.2
Baseband version: P7300xxkj6
Kernel version: 2.6.36.3 (Original when I bought it, however i did root it) [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 23 13:54:01 KST 2011
Build number: HTJ85B P7300XWKL4
I'm using a PC HP Pavilion with Windows 7 with Odin 3v1.85 that does turn yellow when used.
The Kies on my GT works, but the Kies on my PC for some reason doesn't recognize the GT. I believe the Kies drivers are loaded, ok.
I am using the original Samsonite Cable.
Now you know more about me than my wife does...
Thanks,
Golf Educator :fingers-crossed:
Sorry for all the questions, but it's hard to diagnose all the problems from a distance. It sounds like when you tried to flash cwm something messed up the tab. But if it still turns on you can probably get it to work again. Kies is a crapy program so I always use Odin. When you plug the tab into Odin does the com in Odin turn yellow and show the port?

I use Odin 3v1.85 with the correct Samsonite cable. It does turn yellow. I don't know if it shows the port. I haven't toyed with it again as I didn't want to lose the use of the GT to be able to update the new IC firmware that is on the way for this GT-P7300 with wifi and G3, European model.

Ok, that's good, Odin is working and now we can get you up and running. Let's try on thing first, can you to recovery mode? Hold the power button and volume up button down, when the tab responds let go of the power button but still.Hold the volume up, then a second later let go of the volume. This should bring you to a menu where you can do some wipes and a factory reset. (I don't remember exactly what's there) IF you can d o wipes try that first. If that doesn't work then try the factory reset (do you have any data and pictures,etc you wantbacked up?)

Hi,
I'm in the United Kingdom and bought the GT in England... It is the GT-P7300 with wifi and 3G. The IC hasn't been released for the United Kingdom, yet, but it should be out in a few days.
I also think that my Odin is working... but the Recovery Mode is the internal problem that I mentioned with the GT. That is where it is stuck saying that it is loading (but it is not loading). At this point my problem is because of that I can't get to anything and can't do anything in the Recovery Mode with it stuck in that frozen loading effort... including wipes, factory resets, etc., it just keeps on saying that it is loading!
Thanks, again, I appreciate your interest and effort!
Are you trying to use cwm 5.5.0.4 that's in the 8.9 development forum stickies? I would 're-download the .tar version again and try to reflash it with odin. You'll load it in the PDA section and only have the auto-reboot and f.reset checked. Don't have anything else checked. Your first attempt could have been a bad download of cmw.
If you're currently rooted then will have to do something different in order to get the OTA ics when it comes out. I just got it for my tab a few days ago. You'll like it much better than hc.

OK! I think I've made some progress...
I was able to get clockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar from androidjinn.com. I was also able to get a connection from Odin as it turned yellow. I loaded the PDA with the .tar as you suggested, and started it. It passed! Now I have a CWM that works. Afterwards, using it I did a Factory Reset.
Now, I have a newly installed hc and a working CWM. But, would you believe that the Downloading Mode is still stuck on loading. Do you think when we flash a new ROM that it will reset the reloading correctly?
I feel pretty proud of myself! I think I am ready for Jelly Bean...
How do I do that?
Sounds great. I've been running jb for quite a while, but frankly I'd wait for the ics. Runs just as good and it's stock. Never thought I'd say that until I tried it.

Two questions:
Which system will enable the GT to be used as a phone?
How do I root my newly factory reset hc so my aps work?
Thanks
I have an i957 tab which is different than yours so I don't have an answer to your second question. To root your device see the stickies in the tab 8.9 development section it should be as easy as flashing a zip file thru your recovery. Make sure you get the right zip for your specific device though. Otherwise you can brick it. The biggest mistake people make its using a file for a similar device rather than one for their specific device.

Good work so far! Now you just need to download the rom (.zip file) and gapps (also a .zip) for the rom you want to use. Put those on the sd card of your tablet. To do this you may have to "mount external storage" in the cwm menus. Once you get those on there, do a full wipe, and then install the rom and gapps. That should do it for you.
To be honest, p7300 can only make calls via root and using cm9 custom rom. Will try to help you mate!! Sorry for late reply..
But just to make it easier, the 1st step is to use stock 2.3.6 that can be installed CWM 5, after getting that. You must download the custom cm9 rom and install into your internal memory(as i can recall all cm based rom will update your cwm 5 to 6 in the process). Will give you the link and try to resolve your probs!!
This is what you will need :-
Download Gt p7300 XEU stock 2.3.x ROM(search via filecorp)
Odin
Pits file
(all this is just in case that you need to flash it back to stock)
Will update my post in a short period of time!

Note to gulf educator: if your going to install a custom Rom, cm9 etc., you don't need to root first.

How do you mount external storage?

problems with drivers

My device:
Android 2.2
P1000xxjma
Froyo.xwjmi
I can't connect my device to a computer. I have tried with Kies installed and also installed a driverpack I found. The computer just says it can't recognize the device. I am using a usb cable from a galaxy tab 10.1 but that can be the problem, or can it?
I have rooted the device and app root checker says it's rooted correctly. And my problem is that I can't get cwm recovery into it. I have a new rom from cm on SD card but can't flash it because of cwm isn't installed. I need the computer to find the device to be able to get cwm into it with Odin.
Can someone please help me with this problem? Thankful for any help or suggestions. Excuse if my English as misspellings.
Regards
Christian
Yes, likely you need original cable.
And since you are rooted, check if you have protected bootloader.

post #2 about SGTBootloaderCheck
I have unlock the bootloader successfully.
Is there any other way to get cwm into the device other than using Odin, or can it be done without cwm? I have a 4.3 cm rom and googleapp pack on sdcard.
Christian.
You can use heimdall. But you still need the correct cable.

Okey, so either way I need the correct cable then.
I looked and the cable for galaxy tab 10.1 should work for galaxy tab aswell. I wonder what is wrong here. But I will try to get a original cable to try with.

I am using a windows 7 laptop, i even tryed with a windows 7 desktop.
but on this tablet when I do a fabric recovery everything is on russian or some language.

Well if you want to do that, you'll need to upgrade to gingerbread first. And to do that you need to be able to connect to your pc, no way around that.
