Yeah I used that guide to unbrick my Tab, it successfully unbricked but I got stuck in the samsung logo.
I tried to factory reset but that error showed up.
Well can I still flash it with dbdata?

I solved the problem, I flashed using dbdata.rfs.tar and I could run GB 2.3.6
You can mark this thread as solved.

I have the same problem.
May i know where to download dbdata.rfs.tar ?
After downloading what should I do? Do I need .PIT files?
Thank you

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:

But note that gingerbird 2.3.3 link is not working redirecting to some video downloader.
Also the dbdata file size seems lot different.

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.

galaxy tab dead

Well as the title says. My GT has died ..... Fuy to put a rom and I fault the burden of odin rom. Odin gave me FAILED. And where is the blue bar downloding stood. Remove the wire and give the keys and power vol-I got a tablet with a PC and a triangle in the middle. I did a total reset to odin and reloaded and I recognized the table with those marks mentioned and I reloaded. with the same result. I say good because if I load this rom will be posting JM6 say that fixes everything. odin Todal tells me the "reset" and "pass " say COOL! SOLVED. Nothing is further from the truth. I have been on the screen that says "GALAXY Tab" and there does not happen. Try the ROM put him "BROKEN V4"with the same fate .... Probe with the kernel of "overcome " not at all a kernel of MoDaCo for the theme of recovery if the recovery was installed and nothing in odin ... FAIL. The fact is that this might not dead yet it let me access the DOWLOADIG. I think there must be something BOOT.ini. but the ideas are beyond me. if they could resurrect a DHD. but as a tab ... if not with your help I can do little more
install the JM6 and I get the picture but then stays Galay SAMSUNG TAB AND DOWN ... not start see image of odin

My Tab was once in a state like this with the exclamation mark and picture of the little pc. I believe it's fixable, and I also think that it's actually harder to permanently brick these things than would first seem. I remember I even had an error during repartitioning, surely that would have been curtains but it wasn't.
This was my experience, and in my post I link to another post that contains some useful information on getting out of that error: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12719559&postcount=13
Try it like this
Uncheck repartition
Remove the pit file
Do not add anything for the 'Phone' and 'CSC' portion.
Just flash the PDA section.
See if that works.

Help Please

I have a Bell Galaxy S running docmod"s rom. All of a sudden my phone shut off and now will only display the white "Galaxy S GT-I9000M" screen in a continuous two second loop. I can get into download mode and have tried using odin to restore Bell's firmware but it doesn't correct the problem. I've also tried searching and haven't come across anything to help. Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?
Thanks

job done !!

Did you even read the sticky? If its still no rooted, try flashing a new stock rom via Odin and try rooting it again using the method mentioned in the sticky. Just in case you didn't understand what I'm rambling about here...the magic word of the day for you is.... 'STICKY'.
????????
No idea what u r rambling about .... no idea what u mean by STICKY, but i am new to the mobile chatter.
but i read the instructions yes .... and they seem to work with some phones and not with others ...
they do not work with mine and that's why i asked was there any root instructions that will work on 2.3.4 galaxy ace (DDKQ3) ...
so far, NO ONE has said YES.
Sticky means the sticky thread at the top of the galaxy ace forum. It has phone specific tutorials.

Wow how unhelpful are you
I also have galaxy ace on 2.3.4 purchased in late march. The current methods for rooting don't seem to work anymore. The person who started the thread and myself would like some helpful advice from some1 who knows something about how this stuff work. Cause we don't and that's why we post!
Flash the attachments, and you've got root access. I've been using them for 2.3.4 as well as 2.3.6. Works like a charm.
Oh, and BTW, these are from the STICKY thread!
EDIT: I take you know what FLASHING means?! If not then go learn that first before you go any further.And use the SEARCH option. It's not there for baking biscuits!
I have tried to flash:
AceGingerRoot.zip
Root.zip
Universal_GB_ROOT.zip
Update.zip
upd_1.zip
None of these actually work. The root.zip you recommend comes up with an error the aborts.
I have S5830T and I just purchased this last month so things may have changed since you rooted your device. I'll try recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip after I research what it actually does (OMG - Yes I'll use the STICKY).
I hope you realise that if it waas as simple as flashing the root.zip that we would not actually need to post and ask for help!

Well, if Flashing doesn't work try to push all the stuff using ADB. It never fails. And that root.zip, I've been using it since day 1 and still use it whenever I flash to stock using ODIN. Never stopped working for Me. Try the ADB method, and report back. Let's hope for the best.And if possible post the log of the error which you get during Recovery flash.

It didn't work, however I noticed that when I boot into recovery I get the error

I think this means I have to flash back to stock!

Noob HELP! : Softbricked my GTAB 8.9 GT-P7300... :(

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their very useful posts! I 'kinda' understand now what everyone here is talking about...Kinda...
Anyway, I just bought my 8.9 around two weeks ago and decided to upgrade my OS to 3.2. I tried it through Kies, but Kies was not able to recognize my device, tried OTA update but was not able to connect to server...So I tried manually updating it myself, and now, based on what I read here, I think I softbricked my GTAB...The boot screen keeps loading and it does not want to push through...
My TAB is not rooted, and based from the threads that I have read here, i need to root my TAB first but unfortunately, I could not do that anymore..
Can someone please help me out? Noob here...Would really appreciate a step-by-step Noob guide on how to fix my tab...Thank you so much in advance!

To restore functionality (and I mean to enter the ROM itself) you must use ODIN. There are several images to select in the Development forum for your 7300 unit. A how-to use it is also available in my signature's guide. Don't worry about your SDcard contents, ODIN doesn't touch them, but it does delete the apps.
ok, i tried odin3 v1.85 and I downloaded a stock rom from sammy thats suppose to be compatible for my region. ODIN status was fail after a few seconds and I got a 'binary' error message in my TAB.
I'll try and read your how-to use now..
My tabs not rooted...will that be a problem?

No, root is independent of the device's bootloader, so no, it is not related. You can try any image as long as it's 7300.
sorry, noob question...when you say 'image', your talking about the .tar file right? so as long as its 7300, it should work?
i have the: P7300XWKK5_P7300ODDKJ1_P7300XXKJ6_HOME.tar.md5
IT WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks nirogu325!!! I will spread the word!!!

[Q] Tab stuck on samsung logo after flashing, need help

My sister owns this tab, and she wanted me to update its firmware from stock 2.2 (froyo) to 2.3.6 (gingerbread). I followed a guide on youtube, and I downloaded the files provided in the description tab. The flashing went smoothly, but after rebooting, the tab won't get past the samsung logo. Have I killed her tab? If I did, she'd kill me too Please help..
Additional info:
Model: GT-P1000
FCC ID: A3LGTP1000
I think she bought the tab in germany, if so then what firmware should I download?
Is it possible to just download any FW file to use for flashing? If not can anyone please direct me to the proper firmware?
I've been googling for a day..Download 2 firmwares but still no luck.. also tried wiping user data and cache.
Thanks for any help..much appreciated!
You need to restore via Odin first download Odin then head over to this link
http://allkindfile.blogspot.com/2012/07/odin-flasher-and-original-ops-pit-file.html?m=1 scroll down to the bottom and find the Samsung galaxy tab pit for the gt-p1000 after that go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your tablet in the search box and it should say Germany on it download that file. Boit into download mode i believe its voljme down + power. Open Odin and click pit and open the pit file you downloaded. Then click PDA and find the firmware you got from the last link. Then just hit start and you should be good to go

Thank you very much atlast someone replied!
Anyhow i downloaded the pit(s) for my device, but i got 4 pit files, (gt-p1000_mr, pit-909, pit-EUR and pit-p1) which one do i have to use?
Also i already downloaded 2 germany firmwares, one is released 2011, the other 2012. Theyre both at version 2.3.6, should i use them? or do i have to download a 2.2 froyo firmware (you said restore)
I'm really confused, but i'll try them all now. thanks very much!!!!!!

I forgot to mention did you boot into recovery and wipe data and see if you got it to boot? Often times after an update you have to boot into stock recovery and wipe cache and factory reset but if that failes just use the pit gt-p1000 and the firmware I would try froyo then if that fails to work do 2011 then if that don't work try 2012 but always use the pit file if none of these work then it means your internal sdcard gave out. Also before trying all of this try doing a factory reset in recovery and if you get errors post a screenshot of it so I get a better idea of what happened. Hope this helps
EDIT: sorry just read the part where u already did the factory reset and wipe cache was it in stock recovery? And did you get any errors?

Yes i did try factory resetting and wiping off cache data every flash/recovery i do, but it doesnt help. when i reset userdata, it always says that it cannot access "system/csc/via/something", and rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10. I know i'm doing something wrong and i just cant figure it out because there are thousands of threads here, sticky posts doesn't help..im no techie guy but im trying to deal with the situation with positive thinking.. anyway thanks for the help bud, please bear with me until i fix this off..thank you so much..

Oh I see what happened has this tablet previously been rooted or on a custom ROM? Because normally when on a custom ROM specially with our tablets the partition format changes from rfs to ext4 because its faster and more reliable. That being said what your experiencing is your tablet trying to boot but its not the right format because touch wiz only runs on rfs format. This happened to my tablet too when I tried to restore to stock and all I did was flash the pit and the stock firmware in Odin and it booted right up. Took my tablet about 20 minutes the first time to boot up though but it eventually did.

oh, is that the case? but my sister's tab isnt rooted nor had any custom roms before i flashed it. it was on stock firmware.. would it really take that long (20mins+) for a newly flashed device to boot up? approximately how long would should i keep it stuck at the samsung logo before i quit? im willing to wait hours, just for the tab to work. im gonna flash it again using 2.3.6 gingerbread firmware and a pit file using odin, and gonna let it stand until i wake up later and report the results. thank you so much!

I would say wait 20 minutes or just stare at the Samsung logo if it appears to blink and stay at the Samsung logo then your still in a boot loop BTW how did you update the tab? If you did it correctly it should have been just OTA correct? Or did you flash it manually in stock recovery?

OTA stands for over the air update and well do you still get errors in recovery? And did you flash that pit file with all the other firmwares u had?

i fixed it, finally.
i followed instructions from the Overcome Rom 4.0 tutorials by sos_sifou which is located on the samsung galaxy tab general forum.
first, i downloaded the GB-stock-safe-v5 rom, flash the pda, pit, and the phone modem.bin file. i think what my error really is was i wasn't adding a modem file. after flashing, still i got a couple of errors in recovery mode BUT after it restarted by itself, it booted right away, no 20 minute waiting time. then from there, i was really happy that i managed to fix it but i had gone for a little more. i installed overcome kernel and rom which i was glad i did, its really fast now, and really stable. instructions are easy to follow, you cant miss anything but as pre se, you have to follow everything carefully.
thanks anyway for all the help dude, i wish you also could fix your bricked tab? i read your thread a while back, good luck to you

That's some really bad thing that's gone, anyway if you can afford the $170 then why not? instead of just forsaking the tab away. again thanks for all the help dude, it was my first time flashing android devices, but not nokias. it was different in someway, anyhow just always be cautious of what you do always. please close thread tnx
i need help

Ensure that you flashed a correct ROM for your tablet model, and that you cleared data when you flashed (from recovery).

thank you for this reply. though it came a bit late.
the device is dead!!!
if i on it now, it will only on the camera flash light as long as i hold the power button and then off the light when i release the button.
i don't know what to do.
i guess i can still get help on reviving it somehow or else i should start planning the burial .
