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
sorry for my English but the google translator

Where is the guide?? sorry my bad English and I translate by google ... if you make me so kind as to put the thread .... I give thank you very much

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.

Use this link. Download modem file and full file. Then flash with pit in odin. It will work. Same thing happened to me.
As long as you can access downloading screen it's not dead.

1. wait until the TAB discharge (about 1 Day)
2. Connect the tab to the computer

to samsung logo page
6.Flash roto firmware with ordin ( if can't flash with odin will change to Heimdall_1.1.1
http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/KM2/Roto-KM2-Full-v1.zip

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.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1225493
OMG the sticky sucks big time:
- It is meant for noobs but it doesn't explain the process of rooting, flashing with ODIN or CMW in any detail (it just says do it!)
- The links are all broken
- There is information from many different people making no sense to anyone new to smartphones
I mean are you ****ing kidding me!!! What a mess!!!!
I didn't get an iPhone because of the jailbreaking bull**** so I got an android and now this ARRRRRRR
I just want to put in proxy settings so I can use my WIFI at work, but I have to ROOT!!! WHY!!!!!!

Thanks for the reply guys
I just tried UNIVERSAL_GB_ROOT_V11 because the one I tried was V10
It didn't work, however I noticed that when I boot into recovery I get the error
"applying Multi CSC Can't access to '/system/csc/TLP/system"
before I even run the root file!
I think this means I have to flash back to stock!
If so can you point me in the right direction for a ROM (I already have ODIN)

[Q] trouble in installing any file from sd card in recovery menu

Hi..
i want to upgrade my phone from android 2.2 to ice cream sandwich or whatever might b possible..
and i am not much of a tech friendly person.. but have got the basic idea to upgrade from net
My phone doesnt allows me to install anything from sd card or access its contents when it is in android system recovery mode.
First it says "APPLY SDCARD: UPDATE.ZIP".. even when i have'nt copied any .zip file into sd card. .
and when selected.. it says
FINDING UPDATE PACKAGE
OPENING UPDATE PACKAGE
E: CAN'T OPEN SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
(no such file or directory)
INSTALLATION ABORTED.
.. be the file copied in sd card or not..
please help..!!

Sounds like you are selecting the install sdcard/update.zip option.
You need to use select zip from sdcard option.

If your device can't read your sdcard, format it, use a usb adapter to farmat your sdcard, maybe it's corrupted

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:

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.

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:

Thank you about sharing the file to FIX the System Partition ;D

dbdata.rfs.tar only helped me .

Thanx very much, I managed to fix my tab too...

Where can I get the link
Hi guys sorry to post here, but I tried downloading the rfs file and the link's down, can you please reupload it or point me to where I can find it?

[Q] Can't restore the IMEI (current, generic IMEI)

Hi,
last week, I upgraded a gifted i9000 for testing and fun purposes to CM10 from GB, and for that, I lose my IMEI (I have now the generic 0049990106400). I tried some methods to restore, but no one works.
The first of all I tried was back to GB. it didn't work. still 0049...
Then I tried to flash another GB using a pit file. it didn't work. still 0049...
Then I tried to flash a FROYO (JPU). it didn't work. still 0049...
Then I tried to wipe data / cache. it didn't work. still 0049...[/I
I didn't make a backup, but in my internal memory appeared a backup folder with an efs folder and nv_data file... I tried to restore using root explorer in a froyo version, checking the owner an permissions but it didn't work.
Trying coping only the nv_data, log and md5, but guess what?, didn't work.
Erase entire efs folder,
flash another FROYO checking "clear EFS" with odin... still 0049...
I back to GB but nothing happends...
Then I flash CM9 and CM10.2 but still the same. Can't restore the IMEI.
I checked the nv_data of the backup with an hex editor, and is filled (not 0's).
So... what can I do? I think I've readed every possible solution...
Any help is appreciate.
Thanks .

It's possible that I have to do the restore of the backup in GB / CM9 / CM10?
Any help is appreciate.

Sorry, I think I haven't explain right.
Remember that the Galaxy S, the lastest stock rom by Samsung is a 2.3.6 JW6. The jb only exits thanks to CM10. I think the phone was on 2.2 when I bought it... But I've already try to flash a 2.2 but didn't worked. Should I flash the branded version?
I've copied the nv_data and open with an hex editor... But I cant understand anything. Lots of 00's and FF's and sometimes another string.
I have a backup that CM automatic did. But didn't work.

There are no stock JB roms for the i9000, not even "I scream sand witch" for the i9000 was ever released.

when nothing works
Final Solution:- solve efs problems
When NOTHING works and its going to drive you nuts, just walk down to your nearest Phone repair shop, find out how much they will charge for using their Riffbox to edit/fix the IMEI, and it can be resolved in a few minutes .
on the otherhand, when phone functions without any network issues, having 0049 IMEI is not a problem that needs serious attention, as it is only your Identity and most people don't want an identity that can be used to track their movements

The problem is that I cannot do emergency calls with that imei... thats why I want to change it... I'm worried about if a day I need to make that call... I can not do it...
I've read your topic lots of times... but nothing works... I suppose I must surrender and get the phone to the shop... I was asking if there was some news methods or something...
The only one I can't understand was: "Replacing keystr file ( If missing) in efs > imei folder " I checked another two i9000 that has their IMEI, but they didn't has the file...

yup, Samsung had them in their earlier versions, but as people found ways to edit and alter the NV Data files, they also made it impossible to edit, most people had resolved this issue by using their efs backup files when they jump from Gingerbread to Jbean immediately after losing their network connection, but some have tried everything possible and NEVER resolved until its done with the box

Last week an XD paid 20 pounds in UK, after trying everything possible
initially he told me they asked for 30, and it was ridiculous in my view as it will only take a few minutes.

ok, lets give it one more try cause many do not understand the procedure needed to be done when copy paste is involved.
when using root explorer, you need to save after copy paste (means over write existing efs folder with backed up folder) and use exit in menu of root explorer before rebooting.
