I believe my phone is running EPIC.
I did a very bad move by removing the cable at the downloading mode. =(
I know i screwed up pretty bad.

can u tell me how you fix it at last?
thx very much!
would you mind sharing how u were able to fix it? i'm on the same screen.
For all you guys ... You need to enter download mode using 3 button combo and then flash a full package with odin .

by the way. I just flashed the Honeycomb 3.0 but did not like it and attempt it to revert back to an original rom and that's when I ran in to trouble. I have full root but lost my clockworkmod recovery. how can I get it back and if you know any roms for Sprint Galaxy Tab?. thanks.
there is a link in thread i gave you above , check it
Would suggest to re-stock back to original firmware as this will fix up the internal storage...
I have this same issue after a failed firmware update, i was trying to update to 2.3 I have spent about 8 hours trying to fix this using the instructions and links etc on the link you supplied however im not 100% sure which of the several issues mentioned on the link is the one I actually have. Im not able to press the down and power key to get it into download mode. The screen in the picture only comes on when its plugged into the mains charger, i have once or twice got it to come on when plugged into the pc but not had any luck getting the firmware to update as i think the rom i had might have been corrupt or something. Do you know how to get the GT to let me update the firmware when its like this??
ok update, i left the GT plugged into the laptop until it came up with the screen in the picture, once this was displayed Odin picked up that the GT was plugged in i then used Odin to update the PIT and it started working again after that Hope this helps someone cause I spent all day looking for someone to say it was a simple to fix as this
Hi everyone!
I know how to search, so no need to tell me that! I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881206 but it is not so helpful.
I tried to update via KIES this morning, and it failed. Recovery mode does not work either..
I have posted some PC screenshots below...
Any advice welcomed.

Is it me or does this Kies program suck? Lots of problems with bricked phones everywhere! How can one of the biggest company of electronic devices in the world produce crap like this? And what's this stupid way of rolling out updates one region at a time? Samsung what's a matter with you? I'm beginning to think it's better to flash the dam stuff yourself!

Hi!
I am at this stage now...
and hope I am doing things correctly..
How long should Odin take? 30 minutes?

Hi everyone!
I get a feeling that this is a 'return to Samsung' problem..
I can get the Downloading.... do not turn off Target!!! screen on the tablet,
but Odin fails.
I know it is because I am doing something wrong,, but I am bit sure what!
I have two questions - for a UK Tablet bought in Staples, is this the correct TAR file?
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
and is the pit file
s1_odin_20100512.pit
or
s1_odin_20100803.pit
I also tried recovery from KIES but no luck..
Any advice welcomed!
Ofiaich
Hey u dont need to put any of these pits
Go and start without putting the pit
There is already pit in the rom
Flash it without hitting anything except start
Sent From Hell To Take Your Soul
thanks again,
tried without the pit file..
and it still fails, and I tried with re-partition checked and unchecked..
so I am wondering if I choose the correct rom.
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
All good fun and learning!!

The pit files you've quoted are old. They're probably for the Froyo based ROMs. For Gingerbread firmwares, use the pit file I've attached below. I zipped it up as XDA doesn't allow files with a .pit extension. Just extract it from the zip file and use it.
Use these following setup in the pic below, substituting the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar" file in place of the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar”, as well as the modem of choice in the Phone slot.
thanks thepittbull !
Tried that too with the P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME
and that fails too.
I get this in Odin, ( see screenshot )
I also tried this rom P1000XWJMP_P1000XXJMI_P1000SEBJM5_HOME
I am sure I am making a silly mistake but just can't see it!
I will read lots again and call back here later..!
thank you for your patience..

I will try tomorrow as I am going to a 20 year reunion this evening and better get ready to go out.
I am not sure how to choose the correct Modem, but I will search for the "GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar” file.
edit -downloading GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar now...from teamovercome.net but not sure wich modem to choose! JK3, JMF, JPZ or TMO,
thanks again!
back tomorrow!

Are you using a zip file instead of a tar file? Seems it can't read the file in the PDA section. If you've downloaded it as a zip file, you need to extract it out first. Your file names in your screenshot is kinda long, so I can't exactly see the files you're flashing. If you're on JQ1, use the JPZ for now.
Anyway, the GB stocksafe file is from TeamOvercome.net. It's our recommended stock-safe package, that we recommend to keep as it's like a mini-toolkit with everything you need to restock. There's the guide on the site, to help you in the restocking process with the package.
Hi thepittbull!
tried again and have attached a screen shot.
It failed too... I have no idea why..!
I had better get ready to go out!
Thanks for yours and k0sh time and patience!

I've just read thru the thread again. One quick question: Were you running Android 2.2 prior to the flashing?
Super boob. I rooted, installed clockwork mod. Made lots of changes and deleted lots of stock files (music widget hanging in my notification bar) I was working then I downloaded "atorrent" just to see if torrents were good for mobile. Now I have no data signal, will not download anything due to insufficient space. I did a factory reset and that was the wrong thing to do!! Got another phone coming tomorrow but I WILL figure a way to fix this! Help would be appreciated tho!!
Ok could you tell us what it does when you turn it on? Does it go into cwm? Does it go into download mode and any other info about whats rong with it now that you did a factory reset?
It boots normally and phone and txt msg work, also wiring works just fine. I am not sure if the atorrent download had anything to do with but its the only thing I did between total normal operation and what I have now.
Factory reset removed titanium and other root tools I had along with everything else. Still have superuser but not sure if still root as there is no way to know and cannot download anything directly. (Wifi, not wiring)
To clarify, It seems like I can download anything except market Apps. I have more more than enough room for files, it will let me dl asphalt 6 because I have to launch the game to do so. U Prolog know that's 300 MB. Plenty of space. Settings, about this phone, status, mobile network state = connecting.... been stuck there for 2 days. Called att and they said possible similar card error. It works just fine in the wife's phone. ( same also rooted)
have you tryed reflashing the kdz with lg flasher tool?
if you dont know how follow these steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870
Not near a comp I can do that with but I will give a try either later tonight or tomorrow. Hope it works and I will post as soon as I do. Thanks a bundle!
Ya np if that dosent work might wanna talk to dark in the free assistance thread just below this one he knows more about this stuff then me.
the phone lost root. i cant get it to root again. "permission denied" i am getting new thrill tomorrow so i will root and be a bit more carefull. use this one as a practice phone. i really want to make it work. i will tinker with it and if i can get it rooted again i will try the above.
i really appreciate the help in any case!
You dont need root to flash a kdz its just tricking the program into thinking its an update.
ok so i got it fixed be flashing a new rom (cyanogen nightly) works faaassssttttttt!!!! only problem is i cant get market to work. unable to open connection to server error. lookin for a fix to that now. everything else is superb!! this forum is freakin awesome!!

my phone was stuck on the att world phone screen then i finally got it into the downloading mode. its been in downloading mode for about an hour now, does anyone know how long this should take or what else im suppose to do? im clueless about phones! please help! thank you nicole!
Read the stickies and get to know how these phones work. What's download mode, Odin, Heimdall, recovery (CWM, 2e, 3e), difference between boot loaders, etc. Lots you need to know about risk and procedure. I can't link as I don't have access to a computer.

nicole,
first what are you trying to do? as the below poster said you better read and understand the difference between various modes. understand what you are trying to achieve. the flashing is very serious task and to be taken seriously. there are risks involved and you better understand all. i have been reading for months before i did my first flash. after that it gets easy.
