Step by step what I did:
I rooted my tab via this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
I then installed bootstrap (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981307), and after going through the steps and restarting I can't get into recovery or anything. It just sits at the logo.
How do I just reset it to factory?
If I completly broke this I think I'm going to puke... Can somebody give me a little bit of hope or help?

1st question .. is your tab unlock ?
2nd if not , means you gonna reflash your stock rom again via odin
3th . maybe you can use P1_add_hidden.pit via odin and press start and maybe its work , but 80% its work if didn't work u have to go for step 2

My tab is unlocked. So I'm going to have to reflash my stock rom using odin? Where is the best place to track down the froyo rom for my tab?

Obihannm, I did the same yesterday.
You need the original stock firmware for your galaxy and Odin for flash it again.
Look for sam firmware in the google to grab your stock kernel, tools and guides for recovery.
With luck and patience, it is possible ressurrect your tab, but It will back unrooted and maybe you get a locked bootloader.
Just go here and follow attached guide guide.
Thanks guys, I will be up late trying this for sure. I noticed that this probably should live within the QA area not Genreal, so if a Mod or Admin wants to move it, please do.

That would end up with me having gingerbread correct? Should I try to first restore it to factory since right now I can't even enter recovery? Or is it a moot point and I may as well go forward get gingerbread on it?

You dont need to enter any recovery at all. Just "download" mode.
Go and read the guide.

OK, a few deep breaths and some "reading" (a new concept for me it seems) later I think I have a bit of a better understanding.
So reading through the overcome guide and a few other threads I think my issue is I must have had a protected bootloader, and that bootstrap program would have frigid that up (there probably was a warning if I slowed down). So that means my issue is my bootloader... Am I correct thus far?
If this is true, does this mean my current rom is actually fine, and fixing my bootloader is my #1 goal?
From there I can insteall the overcome rom, the normal gingerbread rom, or go back to stock? As I see it overcome/gingerbread is the best option.
Just install the stock rom, once back to normal if you have a locked bootloader patch it
All that you need in one handy page

I read through the guide you linked to as well as this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078622). You suggest I only need to access "download" mode, which I discovered how to do last night. Should Heimdall or other applications be able to see my device via download mode? Or is there a step I am missing.
As well I noticed in the guide you linked me it references patching the bootloader if it is locked, do I need to patch my bootloader or replace it completely as it seems to be broken?
I want to learn this stuff, this I read, and now I am asking. Again all help is appreciated.
Heimdall doesn't seem to do anything at all. I followed the guides as I best understood, and when it came time to hit the start button it instantly said completed with no actual results...
Any ideas?
a coworker was nice enough to help me out, using the stock rom with an unlocked bootloader he was able to bring it back for me. I'm now running froyo, rooted, and a unlocked boot loader so I should have no issues putting overcome on it.
Hey guys, I just bought a Galaxy S 3 SCL21 here in Japan from AU KDDI. It is the 4G LTE, 2GB RAM variant.
So far I have not been able to find a rooting method for this phone. It is currently running ICS 4.0.4 build number IMM76D.SCL21KDALJD.
Any help is appreciated.
I think that's not i9305!

Hello,
I'm with you in the "SCL21, I need help" department. Some info for you though, the international versions are in fact, very different. and the docomo version is too. DON'T use the docomo root method, it will brick your phone.
you can, however use the TeamEpic CWM recovery method. or the Mskip's Toolkit method. I've used both, and it flashes just fine. The problem I run into, is when I try to boot into recovery...the phone doesn't load. It gets stuck with an upside down SGS III logo. It will load into the normal android though. good luck. and if I come across a good method, I'll let you know. you're not alone.

Yup, I'm there, too. If there's anybody out there with the Japanese AU version that hasn't already made this mistake, it would be great if they could pull the stock recovery from it with Odin... maybe if we had that, we could revive ours. I can still get to download mode, so there's still hope, right?

You might try the following links to restore your phone. I am looking at getting the same phone this month or next, so very curious if anyone succeeds in restoring.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23188887&postcount=1
The second link requires an unmodified phone, so you might have to ask around your network and see if anyone can help. Good luck!
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------
If you happen to be able to restore your phone and wanna give it another crack. Maybe try the CWM all variants tar and see if it gets you any further. Unfortunately I can't post outside links yet, so you'll have to google for it!
Make sure to follow the directions! ;-D
If you guys are wanting to try other cwm root methods, I would choose one of the Qualcomm S4 root methods, namely either the Verizon, Us Cellular or Sprint as those would be the closest to this model. I would certainly doublecheck the partition table first though.
Oh, and if/when you guys do get root, would any of you mind pulling your radio partition? I'm curious about something with it.
Edit: Scratch that. I'm heading over to Samfirmware.com for the files, if you need to ODIN to stock, head over there and you can pull the files to restore your device.
SCL21 Conflicting reports :/
Hi everyone,
I just got the SCL21 about two weeks ago. I think it's really strange that even on the Japanese forums, there is very little info on rooting this model. From everything I've found, some Japanese sites also both say it's OKAY to root using the Docomo SC-06D recovery and Superuser zip while others say that it's NOT safe to use that same method and it will result in a bricked phone. Really odd, conflicting messages!
I know that some people successfully rooted by flashing the SC-06D custom recovery and then Superuser zip. But, it it also seems like many have ended up with a bricked phone while using this "Docomo method". I tried Bin4ry’s Root and Restore v30 but no luck installing Superuser after the ADB push from the Windows command prompt completed.
I just found the Team Epic CWM recovery method but according to Bopatriot, it flashes fine and then won't boot into recovery. Anyone have any ideas why this model phone is so difficult to root successfully?
Thanks guys!
Any Luck?
I was able to find a post somewhere about the stock rom for it that works with the SCL21 phone but, it was still 4.0.4(epic fail). Anyone have any luck finding 4.1+?
Repeat this is I9305 forum no information on other phones .
Try sammobile.com
4.1.2 was officially released for this phone just this week. Grab it OTA or from SamMobile and flash it.
If you need to root, the SC-06D method works fine.

What were the steps you used?
well I froze some apps and now my phone is stuck at the Samsung logo.
I can reboot into recovery and have tried to reset my phone with no luck.
is there a way to re-flash the factory rom ? or restore the image through Odin ?
search on Google and here but unsure of the correct version.
any help would be great !
thanks

no one has any thoughts ?
Will need to know what firmware you were running? If its MJ5 then call att or sammy get warranty replacement because there is no odin file for it.
In case you are lucky and have MI9 the follow the link below.

Root de la Vega
Help me XDA, you're my only hope!
In attempt to flash a custom recovery to my AT&T Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A), odin failed to flash it. After a while, I tried to root my phone after other forums/threads said I needed to. I tried towelroot, didn't work for $#!t. And the point of no return came when another forum said to flash a custom firmware to help TR, so I did. It failed. Then I decided to give up, but it got stuck in a bootloop, well, if you consider attempting to boot, giving up, and rebooting itself into bootloader a bootloop. And that was followed by attempting to flash stock firmware, which odin couldn't do anything. So, I've tried everything:
Kies won't detect my phone, or it will say it's unsupported
Odin must be broken or my phone is f***ed, because almost immediately, odin will say FAIL
Anti-Virus has been disabled this whole time
So if anyone reading this knows what they're doing, please help me out with this.

First off you need to give more info about your phone. What build are you on 5.0, 4.4.4 etc. How did you get on that build. Ota update or custom update. We can't really help you unless we know what your running.

if you can go into download mode then don't worry you can download another official firmware & flash it.
The firmware you tried & failed may be corrupt file so download new one & try.
Make sure your battery is more than 50%.if not know the battery level do not flash go to repair centre.

You can try this. Make sure you are using Odin 3.09. You will need the OC4 stock partitions located at the bottom of the first post. That might work.

Because your running 5.0 ota. You can't root that version yet plus they only custom recovery that we have on the AT&T S5 is either safestrap or Flashfire which is still in testing faze. You'll need to wait til you can root the ota 5.0 since it has different bootloader.

What firmware were you on originally? Sounds like you we're on 5.0 or above . If so you will have to flash a pure stock rom of the same back to it . And no rooting for any thing above 4.4.4

Okay guys, I just got a brand new tmobile note 4. Tried rooting it but something went wrong...
Didnt make a backup either so hopefully you guys can help me.
I installed twrp successfully...but after installing supersu...kept getting the boot loop.
Decided to give up rooting and go back to stock.
Downloaded the latest 5.0.1 stock firmware for my phone but after running it through odin, it keeps failing.
I don't know what to do.
I didn't hard brick it since i can still boot into download mode and twrp recovery. But i already wiped system so i don't have any OS on it now.
Should i just chance it and try and send it back to tmobile for a replacement?
Any feedback would be much appreciated!
