[Q] HELP! Really Serious Problem On My SGT gt-p1000

Recently i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab(SGT) GT-p1000 that was brought from Singapore using the oneclickroot method.
My problem began when i heard about using heimdall to flash custom ROMS on the SGT. So i downloaded the Heimdall files and used heimdall frontend to attempt to root my SGT. Before that i had already used the zadig files to install the samsung composite USB driver. However as i boot my SGT into download mood, i accidentally pressed start to flash into my SGT with only the zimage and a wrongly selected Factoryfs file, These were taken from the BOCA rom I wanted to try to install.
Then i think i went into Boca's bootloader but i couldnt do anything. So i tried to reboot the device but it couldnt boot anymore. Just showed and android with an Exclamation mark. So i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966015 and i thought that maybe i could use heimdall to flash back the default files. So i reflashed the new FactoryFS Zimage and Param.ifs provided by this new rom.
Now i can boot the phone normally into froyo 2.21, however now everytime i press the lock button the phone retarts. And everytime i try to connect to the internet using WiFi my phone restarts as well. 3g no longer works too. T_T
I can no longer connect to Kies and i tried reinstalling the drivers again but nothing would fix it. I cant use Heimdall or Odin to flash it anymore, Heimdall faced error -12 and Odin just kept trying to secure connection, but it never passes that point.
IM REALLY LOST AS TO WHAT TO DO. SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! PLEASE!

I don´t think this can help.
I think your problem is that you installed a incorrect rom for your tab model.
Download this:

Reinstall samsung drivers.
and flash the file using odin, repartition checked.

Hmmm... Odin doesn't get connected , so ....

Probably Heimdall will also do the flash for you - Odin is just one Windows-based tool to flash that device. Heimdall should have the same features for differnt platforms (so you can use it also on MAC OSX and Linux)- give Overcome a trial - and don't forget to flash the modem, if you want a fully working device

Bricked even with download mode ?

Hi All,
here is the story, I was on MilkyS GB rom, made a ndriod backup, then flashed dark knight 2.1 then wiped , flashed DK3 w/ Semaphone. Today, I was going to flash stock JVU via Odin but while I was charging up the phone I already noticed Windows was showing error saying something like ' USB device is malfunction cannot install' , so I thought that must be a DK3 bug for not able to access to the SD card, so I did not care.
Went ahead and tried to flash Odin, sure enough Odin did not detect my phone, so did Google and found 'Gnex USB drivers' which by the way took forever to install, while waiting , I thought I might as well just go back to MilkyS GB by using the backup I have done before, so I went in recovery tried to restore, but not successful, so I went ahead and choose reboot....now I am stuck at the boot screen, pull battery, I can go into download mode , however, Odin cannot detect the phone so I still can NOT flash anything.... (just now tried all kinds of drivers I can find, CM7 USB driver, Google usb_driver_r04-windows, even installed the drivers within Andriod SDK, still can't detect the phone..)
Any suggestions ? am I out of luck ? by the way, tried installing drivers in 3 x different laptops and with different USB port on them...

Have you tried a different USB cable? Also ensure KIES is not running & that there are no KIES processes running in the background. Make sure no other usb devices connected to the pc. I've also heard Windows 7 64bit can be the issue sometime but not sure so maybe try a windows xp pc.
Also try disabling any antivirus/firewall on the pc. I had this is issue but for me restarting pc and using a different USB port did the trick.
Should you figure out the USB issue you can't actually restore a Gingerbread backup from ICS.
You will need to get a stock rom (darky resurection should also work) and flash with ODIN. You will need a 3 file stock rom (pda,phone,csc) & 512 pit file.
From here you will need to select all files into relevant places, check repartion and run ODIN. Sometimes I've also needed to flash a second time with just the 3 files and repartition unchecked.

thanks scubadude for your reply. Yes, tried 2 x cables, 3 x laptops and all the USB ports on the laptops, now trying on a clean XP , AV disabled PC still no go.
I know the Odin 3 file process and so on and I kind of know that I can't flash GB on top of ICS that is why I attempt to flash stock in Odin but I guess I was just impatient to wait for the stupid Samsung driver to be installed and made a stupid mistake...

I guess you have tried going back in recovery mode using the 3-button combo but that is also not working?
Odin isn't recognizing your phone but does windows recognize it? If you uninstall all samsung drivers and then try to connect your phone to PC does it ask for installation of drivers? .. if it doesn't that means your phone's usb could have become faulty.. (just speculating)
Or you can try to use Heimdall instead of Odin.. maybe that'll work for you..

Try using Heimdall for mac or linux. It does the same as Odin with no drivers.
Also try cleaning the contacts in usb port on the phone with a small brush(this worked for me when I had similar problems).

thanks tried Heimdall Frontend suite 1.3.1 , also tried Zadig.exe included in the package, the computer still does not detect the phone in download mode.

btw , I have also already use Android SDK to install the Google USB driver....see attached.

Had a similar situation.
Eventually used EZbase's "Odin" version and it worked using the drivers he linked to.

Try using Heimdall for linux. The windows version depends on drivers while the linux does not need drivers.
Also try turning USB-debugging on. Some people report that this is needed for download mode, though I don't see how this can make a difference as the OS is not loaded when using download mode.
If this doesn't work I think you have a hardware problem.
EDIT: Don't use WM-ware etc for the above. I think an Ubuntu live CD will be fine.

Bricked i9001! Help!

I have a problem with a i9001. I tried everything I can think off. It always stops when flashing in Odin 4.43 on:
<1>setup connection.....
I tried 3 different computers and all usb ports. Reinstalled Kies, installed only the samsung drivers. Rebooted several times. But still stops ons setup connection in Odin. I used several flashfiles: the seperate ones and the complete package....
I also used the jig to get the i9001 in download mode. To get the phone in Download mode is no problem, it works with the jig and also with the key combination. When i try to power the phone normal i get the Black Screen of Death. I also tried 4 different usb cables.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance....

Help!

Did you try another ROM for flashing? Or did you try to just flash a recovery and boot into that recovery? If you run ODIN with Vista / 7: did you right click and run as administrator? Did you take out the battery of your phone for about 10 min and then insert USB and battery back and try again...?

i had that problem with two phones, my i9000 and my friends rogers infuse. try different usb ports on the computer. if that dont work, look up some stock firmwares for you phone and try to flash them. i find the original stock roms work best for fixing this. just be calm, there is always a way to fix it as long as you dont fry nothing.

I tried 5 different computers (Windows XP and Windows 7), 5 different usb cables, several flashfiles. Always stops at setup connection.

I am still having the problem. i really tried everything I can find.

Have you installed the USB drivers for your phone? It is also important to kill ANY running KIES application/service via task manager.

[Q] Bricked and not recognized by usb..

Hello there,
I am Belgian so i'm gonna try to do my best to find my english somewhere
I have a samsung galaxy s3 mini gt-i8190..
I have tried to flash with odin thru pda BUT it stopped with fail as result..
Then i have tried to put original firmware back the same way but fail again,
then tried again with same original firmware and succeeded..
Phone froze at samsung logo, tried again and now i got the message "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Ok, so i plug the phone back in the usb cable: Device Not Recognized! (windows 7 ultimate laptop).
I can get in to download mode: still not recognized via usb.
recovery mode DOESN'T work at all (3 button combo) just the error message at the normal boot and the download mode.
So basically i can't flash cause i can't connect, reinstalled drivers, used another pc, same thing...
It doesn't even charge the phone..
Odin mode says:
Product name: GT-I8190
Custom Binary Download: YES (4 counts)
Current binary: Custom
System status: Official
So does there somehow any file exists to put on my sd card to access usb OR a file to go into recovery mode.
Any tip is welcome, will try them all..
Thanks by advance,
yoni089

Have you tried installing Samsung's USB Driver? I know installing kies comes with the USB drivers but just in case. You might want to check if it's properly installed in your computer. Try reseting your counter first with Triangle Away. Please tell me more of what you did.
Click on the thanks button if I helped!

Change usb port and make sure all processes with kies are killed in taskmanager.
Open Odin. Put the phone in download mode and connect usb.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply's
I did install Odin first, when i flashed my phone it failed..
So i decided to install kies to make sure i had the right drivers,
Uninstalled Kies without the drivers. The phone was still recognized back then!!
Flashed it again and again FAIL!
Since then NOTHING works with the usb connection, windows does not recognize my phone "unknown device".
So it doesnt even know what it is..
Uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, rebooted my laptop with battery out for a minute but nothing works..
Also i tried to connect to another pc but no luck..
So i guess the key on my phone for the driver to find is missing/deleted by flashing and failing..
That's why i asked if there is any file to putt on my sd card to be recognized by my computer.
I did tried many times using another usb port..
Also tried with and without sim card/ sd card.
(btw: does they have to be in there anyway?)
Thnx and grtz,
Yoni089

I know that, my connection worked fine i did see the com: port in odin and it said "added!".
then i started flashing again and suddenly "fail", got the triangle, went back to download mode, tried to connect again and windows OR Odin didn't recognized my phone anymore, device not recognized and no "com:" in odin.
Tried different ports, battery out for a minute, no sim, no sd, reinstalled drivers, nothing works..
That's the point why i made this thread cause i see no solution in this anymore, if i have no usb connection i can't flash ( OR IS THERE A WAY???), if i can't flash i probably can't get usb connection..

With what you're saying, it seems something has gone corrupt. Maybe a binary or an image. Flashing a rom using your phone might fix this but it's not a 100% success. It might destroy your phone more or fix it. It's a 50/50... :fingers-crossed:

No kies, correct drivers, tried different ports. Then I don't know. Are you using original USB cable?
I once got a bad flash like you did, but at least Odin detected it and I was able to flash this firmware with repartition, because official stock fw didn't work for me neither.

Flashing with Odin keeps failing

Hey guys, i have a problem
Yesterday i flashed the Note 4 Elite rom. Absolutely loved it but i had charging issues so i wanted to flash stock rom (4.4.4 T-Mobile netherlands) which i downloaded from sammobiles. So i booted into download mode, opened odin and flashed the rom. After a while (when it was done) i got a message that it failed and a red code: SW rev. CHECK FAIL DEVICE:3 BINARY 2.
now my phone cant do anything but boot into download mode. When i try to reboot or reboot in recovery i get the message: "firmare upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.", i've been trying flashing different stock roms, on different usb hubs with different cables for 4 hours but nothing works, can anybody help me out?

Hi
It sounds like you have an issue with your usb port. The fact that you had charging issues before and odin is having trouble detecting your device, I would start there. Have you tried giving the usb port a clean? Good luck.
If you can get a connection to odin, try flashing philz kernel tar, and wipe phone/install new rom in menu

Thanks for your response but that wasn't the problem. When i uninstalled Kies the drivers uninstalled too i think, so i downloaded the correct drivers and odin recognized my phone then. Then i tried to flash a few different stock rom's and after a few fails the german XXUEFNI3 stock rom from sammobile worked!
