[Q] Galaxy Tab not booting, stuck at boot screen, download mode working

My Tab is stuck at GalaxyTab Samsung" boot screen after i try to flash Roto-JMI-v2, before i was running Overcome v1.1.2 rom and [Kernel] [EURO] [1.4ghz OC/UV] MCR EXT4 v12 and it work like a charm. But becurse i deside to sell my TAB i flash back to Roto JMI.
I flash with Odin 1.7 with success, but now it stuck at boot logo.
After that I try many other ROM and flash with Heimdal but no lock.
I have no problem to get download mode, and flash with odin and Heimdal. But I can't get into recovery mode (power+vol up)
I have try almost every solution in the Forum...
What to do next...??

Have you tried flashing kernel only? like the overcome kernel v1.0?
Perhaps that will get you ClockWorkMod Recovery back...and you can go from there.

I try it now, shall i use odin or Helmdall to flash kernel only

With overcome kernel v1.0 it fail in Odin

That's odd. Odin should flash the kernel fine.
Does it give an error? or it just says successful, but you still cannot get into CWM?

It give a error, and I still cannot get into CWM, shall i use a pit to flash

And I have try this....
1.Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
2.Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
3.Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
4.Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
5.Check repartition box
6.Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
7.After this, the Tab will reboot normally. Shut it down and return to download mode.
8.Open Odin 1.7 and reconnect the Tab.
9.In the PDA slot, choose the Overcome Kernel v2.0 tar file for use with Odin. Press start
10.It will flash the kernel then reboot. Upon reboot, you should hear the sexy robot voices informing you of the status of the EXT4 conversion.
11.Once done, the Tab will boot normally. At this point you can load Overcome v1.2.2 rom (or any other Rom of your choosing)
12.NOTE - Overcome 1.2.2 includes v2.0 of the kernel, so no reflashing is required after install.

You are correct - he needs to repartition the sd card, using the .pit file because it was formatted to ext4.
Your steps are great! I do them one at a time with a reboot between each one.

Oops - if you got your rom from samsung you have a locked bootloader. You can continue to flash those updates, or you can use a patch to remove the lock, then you can continue on.
Can someone please paste the link to the patch?

how about the Verizon gtab...
same thing is happening to me on the galaxy tab from verizon... samsung says to send it.. but i dont want to wait two weeks without my tab... thanks..

Stuck in Bootup Screen
I also have same problem,
I flashed a Rom from "samfirmware" and after it finished it stuck on bootup screen, unable to do recovery mode.
only goes to bootup screen or Dawnload .
can you guys help ?

You gentlemen have a locked bootloader. If you search the tab development forum you will find the solution. A member named Chainfire developed an app you download to your sd card, then install it, then run it, and it will move the offending bootloader. I can't get the link here - google "locked bootloader patch" or posts by Chainfire.
When it is removed, don't flash roms with the samsung kies - all those roms have the locked bootloader.

Stuck in Bootup Screen
thanks
but I can not get the tab to load in order to run any app. it is stuck in boot screen. any suggestion ?

You cannot get into download mode? That is power + volume down.
Do you know of the adb program?

stuck on bootup screen
I havent used ADB before.
any other solution?

how install apk boot pacth phone only samsung logo or only enter download mode how install boot patch ?

newbie comes here to learn how to flash kernel.

Only have Download mode. Help! [SOLVED]

My SGS does not boot and does not enter recovery mode. I can enter download mode though. I suspect it happened after I removed some files from SD card.
Can I access SD card in download mode?
How can I use download mode to restore firmware and the recovery?
Thanks in advance.

u have to reflash your firmware. if u get only downloadmode working u can only reflash your device.
try a custom kernel first. if this wont work, then flash new firmware

Strange.from download mode you can only flash firmware.I think u can use adb and connect your phone to computer.try little search on topics don't rush first read carefully.

@malcho
adb wont work in download mode. only in cwm and after successful boot

So I understand I need to connect to PC in download mode and then use some software like ODIN to flash a ROM? Correct?

thats right.
may u can flash via kies, if u want a stock rom from samsung

I didn't know that info about adb.Thanks for info
[email protected]

Well, it's strange but looks better. Even before I did anything with ODIN the phone booted into the new ROM but I still cannot get into recovery. Seems like ROM installation procedure deleted something essential to run the recovery.
So now I have the download mode and Android working.
I am trying not to make any sudden moves so that I won't lose to ability to boot the ROM. What would be the best way to restore ClockworkMod recovery?

What ROM are you running now?
From a running stock-ROM the easiest way is to flash some custom kernel that includes CWM.
Here's a list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966646
For 2.2.1-based ROM I prefer Speedmod.
For 2.3.3-based, choose your own
edit: There are some ROMs/kernels that can only enter recovery when USB-debugging is on.

I've just switched from Darky's 9.2 to PilotX with 2.6.35.7-I9000X[email protected]#Beta4.2_1 kernel.
From what you are saying I understand CWM recovery needs Linux kernel to run. I thought it's a stand alone boot-loader independent from the OS and kernel.

I installed CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS which comes with CWM recovery via ODIN with no effect. I still cannot reach recovery mode.
My phone came with 3e recovery which I downgraded to 2e (I don't remember how I did it then). Is it possible it has something to do with the problem?

You should always flash to stock when you have an issue.
You can also use Darky's resurrection (at least, part A: Pit with re-partition)
Then flash the original firmware (from samfirmware.com)

Thanks to everyone.
The problem was solved using http://www.v00d00.co.il/GBFINAL.pdf guide. Note, this guide is only relevant for Hebrew PilotX ROM.

Galaxy S ODIN Flash

Guys I've got a problem with my Galaxy S i9000 with CM9. It stopped working after restart (endless loop on Cyangenmod logo) and now I'cant get to recovery mode. Only download mode works, so I think that I must to flash it with ODIN. And there is a problem, because I can't find proper CM9 ROM files for ODIN. And what version of ODIN should I use? Now I've got 4.38 and phone is visible - it's OK?
I will be very pleased for ROM files to ODIN and some instructions how to flash it propely. I've read many threads from morning, but I can't find ROMs

Hi there,
afaik there are no CM Versions flashable via ODIN.Use ODIN to flash a Stock firmware, then install ClockworkModRecovery and Install CM9 via CWM.
You should try to take Out your Battery for about 5 minutes and try to enter Recovery Mode.
About the Odin Version: If you look at different "howto use ODIN tutorials" there are different Versions "recommended" I've used multiple ODIN Versions eg 1.3 / 1.83 and every Version made a good job.
Give this a try if Battery-out for 5 Minutes does't take you back to recovery

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000L stuck on boot screen

Hello,
I was going to flash Clockworkmod recovery into pmy Galaxy Tab (P1000L), following the steps via Cyanogenmod wiki. Downloaded heimdall and the Technomancer's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery. Installed drivers and all, flashed and it was all good. But then after rebooting, the tablet got stuck on the boot screen, that one showing "Galaxy Tab Samsung" and the keys it up. And just that. I did nothing wrong, I think.
What do I do?
Also, ODIN doesn't find the tablet, but I can still flash zImages via heimdall.

sorry that I never heard of Technomancer's kernel.
but I suspect you flash a P1000 kernel, not a P1000L one.
Can you boot to recovery (volume up + power, and when samsung logo appear let go of power but hold on to volume up, until recovery menu appear)?

I was able to flash a working kernel, now it's a 2.3 Stock ROM.
But I still want to install clockworkmod to flash cyanogenmod9, and the tutorial in their wiki doesn't seems to work. Any ideas on how to do it?
Maybe rooting, but how?

Read this:
http://ubuntuone.com/7DoqHXrUi0LKJsVOZUUNVM
This is Alroger's site
He owns an L/N device himself, so I think you should take his words for it.
Towards the end he said:
The Overcome guide is a good start before you get to CM9.
Easy restock from Gingerbread, in case you get any strange simptoms.
Flash full stock Gingerbread (with repartition).
Flash Kernel with CwM. Doesn’t have to be Overcome, could be any CF-root kernel for your model. You can use the same one in the CM9 ZIP that you will flash.
Boot directly into CwM Recovery, holding VolUp. No need to convert to ext4, since MTD will converto to yaffs2 anyways.
Flash CM9 ROM and GApps!
Now, there is Overcome new link in my signature.
Download your cm9 for p1l and gapps-ics and put in external sdcard
Download the Overcome kernel tar and flash it with Odin, (read the overcome guide if you don't know how to flash the kernel tar)
and when complete it will reboot, just force it off.
Then boot to recovery like what he said, and follow on.

[Q] Galaxy Note N7000 Firmware Error

Hi all..
My friend encountered this issue recently..
where the phone cannot be started and the firmware error appears.
I've tried several attemps on recovering it back.
1. it cannot go into stock recovery mode
2. it can go into download mode
so i've tried to flash thru odin:
1) philztouch custom recovery
2) stock rom jelly bean from sammobile.com
both attemps failed.
so my next move is to connect thru kies.
it failed again as it does not detect the device to do the emergency phone recovery.
so now im in the idea of trying to flash custom recovery again and a custom rom. do not know whether it works or not, but ill try.
any other solutions/ideas?
Thanks.

If you cannot get the rom to flash.... You have to go through the philz kernel using odin.. Try to flash philz kernel xxlta version again using odin. Make sure you remove the battery for a couple of seconds. Then boot into odin mode. Use main USB ports and genuine USB cable.
