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

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 .
Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

You need to make sure you are flashing a version that is the same or more recent than the version you are currently on. You cannot downgrade your firmware or else you'll end up with a bootloop.

It might be the actual stock ROM (I didn't check that particular file you mentioned) but in general the stock ROM for this phone comes in four files which begin with the following:
AP, CP, CSC, BL
You can load those in their corresponding spots in Odin (BL in bootloader, and so on)
Or you can head over to sammobile and download the stock firmware, which is a Samsung Kies dump file. This is one giant tar ball ( like the one in the video) which you'll just load into the PDA section of Odin 3.09 and flash away.
When you're clicking on ODIN are you running it as Admin? Also see the guy in the video using a USB 2 cable.
yes i am running as admin. it only works when i only use pda. when i put in the bl and csc and cp is keeps failing. after if flashed the pda file the phone reboots and freezes on the samsung screen. should i try doing it one by one?
it wont work still failing. should i flash one by one?
I did but i cant load it. i only get to the samesung logo and it freezes. only thing i can get into is download mode and the stock recovery. is there a way to boot into safestrap when phone is off? im running out of ideas and ive tried to do it on different computers and cords.
it seems like the bootloader file is the only one not working. do you have any idea? please please please help guys

Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar. Unzip and you should get this file "G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5". Now Run Odin 3.09 as admin, and put your phone in download mode. In Odin click on the AP icon and point to the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar.md5. Wait until Odin finishes loading the file it takes some time. Plug usb cable to your phone while in download mode. Once Odin is ready click start. Wait until Odin is done. Your phone will reboot once the flash is done. Please Thank @muniz_ri for his hard work.
Yea. Prolly should have checked this forum before you went on the journey.

Now, Instead of making sarcastic comments, I will provide some assistance. There is one thing left out of all of these tutes that took me a while to catch on to. As a result, my phone was doing the same thing.
When you follow the downgrade instructions, yes leave out the boot loader. Sometimes, the downgrade doesn't do the job properly, so you'll have to go to this thread, scroll to the very bottom post and you'll see a link for "G900A_NCE_Stock_Modem"
You will need to flash this along with the stock firmware. It should correct the boot issue. (Flash in PDA slot)
Furthermore, you will not be able to update via WiFi OTA. You'll have to download the official update files in .zip format.
Go to this thread for the " G900A_NCEtoNG3_OTA.zip" to update from NCE to NG3.
This next step is optional, but it won't hurt to try it. Go here and grab the stock NG3 modem and recovery. Flash each (one at a time) in the PDA slot.
My personal opinion of the 4.4.4 update is low. There are many issues with it. But if you're trying get the phone completely up to date then:
Go here for the final update.
You should now be set. Please thank @muniz_ri for his unrelenting dedication to helping others.
It is not my intention to be an ass, but you should begin with google, and then search entire AT&T forum before posting questions like this. Chances are, others have had the same problem, asked, and received a solution exactly like this.
Anyways, I hope I was able to guide you in the right direction...
Edit: It seems that both of the update zips are in the OA1 root guide thread.

OK slow down take a deep breath and tell me exactly what you're trying to do.
Panicking is only going to make it much worse as long as you can get to download mode it's fixable. What exactly did you do and what files did you download? Which Odin are you using?

3.09 is the best in my opinion so download and use it and no they DON'T have to all be filled.
Go to this thread in the notes part #3 and download the downgrade to NCE tar and flash it in the AP slot
It DOES work I've done it many times.

i did download that file. i waited till 12 midnight for it to finish and when i opened odin, clicked on the pda/ap slot,it would not browse to the file. so odin wont recognize
nevermind,thats the wrong one to tho. i was on 4.4.2. i dont want 5.0... i believe what im looking for is NCE.... because thats what i was on.... the thread you sent me to is the "keep root" thread. i was on 4.4.2 .....nce....isnt there a file out there anywere that has all the stuff i need? like the csc and the ap and the bl and so on and so forth? the "select one slot" is still got me... it keeps failing everytime i fill just one slot. and thats if i can make odin recognize the file

Did you even read the OP? under notes #3 it says to download the Downgrade to NCE tar. That's the tar you need.
Use 3.09 and place that tar in the AP slot it WILL WORK I didn't give you the 5.0 keep root thread.
That tar is the NCE stock firmware I've used it many times as chief tester when I've soft bricked my device.
Quit using Odin 1.85 and use Odin 2.09
Or use this thread

When I downloaded the files, they save with a " .tar.md5 " extension on the file name. I had to delete the " .md5 " on the file name to get them to work. Also, a couple of the files save as a " .rar " which you will need to unzip to have access to the " .tar " file that Odin needs. Other than that, I used Odin 3.10 to gain root and used 3.09 to flash back to latest build. No reason why, I just thought I'd try it. Also, be sure to note that the " PDA " is now called " AP " in Odin 3.09 and up.
Ok so, I kinda effed up. Originally my Play Store among other google services had been acting up and were unusable so I was troubleshooting for a fix. I tried everything except a factory reset, so of course I do that , but as I was reseting I also lost my root. It had been awhile since I rooted my phone so I followed the steps of the video I was watching. (How to Root Galaxy Note 5 on Android 6.0/6.0.1 Marshmallow!) He happens to reformat his phone in the video so I did as well, brainfarting on the fact that I would lose my backups. I start tinkering with stuff because after factory reset in the ROM I still have no access to any of the Google services. I deleted System and was gonna re-flash/use my backups (that I thought I had) to fix everything. Well, I tried downloading the stock firmware for my model but it's not flashable via Odin as it's in ZIP form, and when I attempt unzipping I get an error, tried firmware from multiple mirrors. So I tried running a custom ROM since there is a lot more support on that now. I tried the Nemesis_V3_N7-port first, it flashed succesfully, tried booting for a solid 30 minutes or so before I shut it down and tried a different rom. I think it was then or after I flashed the latest MOAR that I started bootlooping into TWRP.
Please help!! I can normally figure this stuff out once I break it, but I've been fixing this phone for the past 12 hours and have yet to find a solution.
So you wiped your phone and have no rom? so you can either bootloop, go into twrp or go into dl mode? Right?

Well I bootloop INTO recovery mode. It says the Seandroid Enforcing in the top left corner. I was previously rooted and it had always said that but I never experienced any issues with it

Ya. Ik it's a soft brick since I still have recovery options but I din't know where to go from here

you need to download the .tar file for your n920p. Then in odin click on ap and then click the .tar file. run and you should go back to stock. Then you can root again! Here yah go: https://devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-samsung-galaxy-note-5.html
In my experience you cant do anything in twrp to save you unless you made a nandroid back up or have an extra rom. Ive done this before and I had to odin the stock firmware

I tried downloading the firmware quite a few times, it doesn't let me extract it from it's zip. I just tried 7 Zip, 9Zip, and the windows built in unzipper. Would you try downloading and extracting to tell me if you have the same issue? It comes up with an error at about 17% saying it's missing a crucial file..

Thank you Spencer, really appreciate the help. I've tried a couple other links across other similar firmware flashing forums to no avail. So if you have a problem too, it's gotta be a batch of incomplete files.

okey dokey, I'm re-downloading and going to attempt with Winrar will come back to update in 30ish if it works.
I was so hyped, I thought it was gonna work. It got to 99% and then said:
C:\Users\Delerios\Downloads\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_SPR.zip: Checksum error in C:\Users\Delerios\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$DIa0.337\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_N920PVPU2BPC3_HOME.tar.md5. The file is corrupt
C:\Users\Delerios\Downloads\N920PVPU2BPC3_N920PSPT2BPC3_SPR.zip: The archive is corrupt
So I think I'm gonna try and find yet another page to download from. Did you download the version for N920P, or for the N920T you have?

That would be insane man, TY!! I've been hitting every forum I could looking for a download that worked for me. I wonder why I can't access it, I'm using Chrome/Windows 10. I was abouta to go see if it worked on my old laptop but I figured it was a long shot.

All you really need to do is re flash your twrp so it will re root the phone again! After you flash twrp you can easily use adb to push the files back to your phone. This is all I did to a phone I repaired.. You can even use fastboot flash Your920PFirmware.tar..

One thing after another... So I attempted flashing and I got the "Pit for mapping" error. I looked up my Pit file and put it into odin but I'm still getting the problem. Tried wiping the Cache and Dalvik + Factory Reset but nada. Any ideas?

Dang. Hey man appreciate all your help, thank you for the file. I'll post the solution when I figure all this out in case there's another poor soul in the same boat
I FIXED IT. It was my computer, I don't know what it was and I don't care lol. But I tried the correct firmware through Odin on my other Windows PC and it worked flawlessly. If anybody runs into any issues unzipping or flashing through Odin, last resort just clean install on the pc or find another one.
