Please take in mind that i am 18, and that i might not understand technical terms..
So i am one to like to try different kinds of custom ROMS on my captivate because, quite frankly, the stock ROM is terrible. Last year i flashed Cognition V.2 but i eventually got tired of it, so i switched to Cappy's GingerBread ROM, but did not like how much battery life it used. SO seeing that Cognition had come out with V.3 a couple weeks later, i decided to try and flash that ROM. And this is where the problems began...
AS you might know, the most common way to flash roms is to use ROM manager, and when i transferred the file to my phone and selected "Install ROM from SD card." Normally the phone would restart and then go into recovery mode..that did not happen. It just stayed on the ATT start up screen. So i reluctantly pulled out the battery after waiting on it for an hour.
This is when i realized that i could not enter recovery mode at all! ive tried the volume button trick along with trying apps that send your phone directly into recovery mode..oh and i also tried using terminal emulator and sending a command to my phone to reboot into recovery mode, THAT did not work.
So after that I decided as a somewhat last resort, i tried the hard reset, (where you dial a number in and it factory resets your phone.) Which was appearantly was the worst idea i could have ever done because now when i boot up my phone it will get past the ATT screen but now my lock screen will randomly turn on and off by itself, like i cannot unlock it, the screen will repeatedly turn itself on...then off every 5 or so seconds.
I am so confused on what i am to do, and im sorta stressing out about this point in time. So please if one of you educated forum readers know how to fix my terrible mistakes, the help would be EXTREMELY appreciated.
Thank you

I'm noticing a trend of people telling people that don't know what they are doing to use Odin 1 click without ever even asking what build there phone is. Please stop. For some people it has the potential to put them in an even worse situation then they were when they first asked for help.

look for odin one click with the 3button fix, get virtual box or boot camp, get windows 7 preferably but xp is ok, get drivers, add the phone in donwload mode to the device list on the virtual machine and then you should be able to odin flash from the virtual mache. i have done it in linux but i have also had problems getting it to mount the phone in the virtual machine with a different linux install, i still dont know what the problem was or if you will have problems on the mac.

Your only 18, with your music taste I figured you were mid thirties
After upgrading the firmware successfully according to odin our P1010 wifi-only galaxy tabs are stuck in an infinite reboot sequence that happens so quickly that we cannot use our galaxy tabs for anything. Right before it reboots we are all getting:
"Process android.process.media stopped unexpectedly. Try again"
This occurs immediately after the upgrade when you are doing the initial setup of the device. It is rebooting about every 15-30 seconds.
Please help us. We can still download using odin but we do not have the stock firmware. Someone out there help please. We are all going absolutely bonkers insane. Thx.

Dont mean to be rude but i just read that whole thread and it has absolutely nothing to do with the problem we are having. not once in that thread is mentioned any problems after upgrading firmware. in fact the thread seems to be about the P1000 with only a small bit about the P1010 which is unrelated to our problem.
Does anyone else have a solution or anything helpful?

sorry for not explaining. I thought you might want to use/flash the particular p1010 firmware discussed in that thread instead of what you have right now so as to eliminate/erase your error/problem.
I don't have a p1010 so I cannot verify. Next time I will not respond anymore to avoid misunderstanding.

no, i just gave up. my tab has been sitting on my desk for like 3 months unused. i guess i'll try recharging it if i can find it buried under the pile of papers and giving it another attempt at finding a solution.
not going to hold my breath tho... since it appears to be impossible to find the official united states p1010 firmware or whatever u guys call it.

sorry, didn't mean to offend you. i am just so utterly miserable about this device. i was so excited to get it, then i read about updating to fix some speed issues and increase battery life so i followed the guide and so i have only been able to use my device a total of about 1 day in about 5 months. very frustrating.
also, i am deathly afraid of "just trying" to flash anything as i dont want to make my device even worse than it already is.
i'll tell u one thing, i will never ever ever ever buy another samsung product again. they so very clearly dont give a rat's a** about the suffering of their customers. it doesn't matter if we did this to ourselves, they should still help. it is a stupid software fix that costs them nothing. do they think if they dont help us we will break down and buy a second one? i dont f'ing think so.
I had the same problem once.
Maybe the files are not matching like .PIT with Modem or bootloader thats why it keeps on restarting.
You should reinstall .PIT file then install accurate PDA , CSC and MODEM files for your own region.

Yea, this is the problem. Cant get United States region files. That is the whole issue.
SOLVED !!!
if you are having the infinite reboot problem on your US galaxy tab gt-p1010 do this:
1. download this rom (it is the hong kong rom)
http://www.multiupload.com/KJO2KALU2O
password: nomoreuncheckedfirmwares
2. put your tab in download mode by holding down the volume down button first then press and hold the power button.
3. start odin3 version 1.7, plug your tab into your pc.
4. verify you have the yellow in the ID:COM area in odin then select the pit file, the csc file and the pda file (the only file remaining) and hit start.
5. wait patiently while it downloads everything and reboots.
note that it will start up in chinese or japanese (not sure which, guessing chinese). also note that i am using windows xp, probably works in 32-bit windows 7 but may have problems with 64-bit windows 7. not sure cause i have not tried it. seems that i read that though.
good luck !!!
thanks to stsights for the solution and waqypaqy for uploading the file to a more accessible site!!! you guys make me more happy than u can possibly know...

NO NO NO!!! This is what got the problem started in the first place. do NOT install european firmware on a US galaxy tab P1010. That will land u in infinite reboot hell. just dont do it.
So a few hours ago, i tried to flash the value pack (XXKQB) ROM on my Galaxy S Plus,it started normally but sort of freezed on ˝setupconnection˝
The phone was still in download mode,and after about 20 minutes of siting there,restarted the phone since nothing was happening, and it´s safe (for now ).
It should look like this,right?(see attachment)

WRONG VERSION OF ODIN heh,silly me

I have no idea what you are doing . How did you set up Odin? did it detect your phone? Have you closed all Kies applications? You could post a link to the thread you got the download from... (Did you ask the thread where you got the download from?) Why is there only one file? Is it meant to be like that? (I know some roms can be zipped/tarred so you only need one file but is this that sort of file?)
The list can go on and on. Please provide more information... What is the status of your phone now? Can you boot up to your home screen or are you stuck at soft-brick screen? I ask this because i don't understand what safe means. I would consider a soft brick safe because i know what to do when i have one... Re-flash!
So to that image. I am assuming this is how you set up odin BEFORE you connected your phone. I would suggest tick re-partition, this WILL factory reset your phone. A suggestions not always necessary, read the thread. If you are on GB already then i don't think you need to. Also usually you are still required to have a .pit file. (I haven't flashed via odin in a long time, so things may have changed) Check you don't need one.
Finally sometimes when i flash via odin, it get stuck i think at the same point you do. I have to unplug and take battery out. If i boot up i get two symbols with a line of some sort in the middle. In this case i go back to download mode and re-flash and it flashes correctly this time.
Sorry for the long message its just the more information the better and quicker people can help. Hope i helped, if not please provide as much information as possible

Replace Odin, and install the files as in the screenshot, the debug mode on the phone, turn off your phone, enter in the flashing mode after 3 buttons.

I guess.......and next time when you wanna root etc. just have the patience and read everything that is written here.
Never the less some phones are more durable in that matter ( i don't know why ). Some phones are like butter, 1st attempt and you are rooted. And with another you sweat like a pig and even then you can't do it right :laugh:
well
Well,
I hope it'll get better
thanx
Before bringing your phone to service you could try:
- a factory reset. Maybe the unsuccessfull rooting attempt has messed up something you can fix this way.
- flashing a RUU and see if the issue remains. This usually sorts out...
Hello,
One week ago, I was using my phone as usual when suddenly froze and I pulled the battery, then I was stuck in boot loop so I decided to go into download mode and reflash it, but I accidentally flashed H811N instead of H811H , now my phone is hard bricked !! " No charging / No download mode / Nothing at all " , is there any way to fix it ?
Thanks
There's a fix a couple posts down. Have you tried that yet?

Yes I tried but I got some errors ! I don't know why, I think it might be because of I did not find a stock dump (img) of H81110H ?
What errors did you get? Which build did you use?
Also, try this. It doesn't look like he has the system.img available, but you could always try to pull it out of the kdz. There's some directions online.

Were you able to try the files I gave you there?
And do you know which error it gave you? You might want to try to fastboot a recovery (put a recovery in the same folder as your adb and fastboot, name it recovery.img, run command "fastboot boot recovery.img", then installing a rom from the recovery), although I haven't tried his method yet so I am not sure if that is even possible.

I actually the error was about flashing a different version then I tried for another time gave an error of different size of firmware.
When I try to connect the phone to my computer, it appeares as "qhsusb_bulk" and doesn't recognize the phone.
Now I can't turn it on or charge it, or even getting to download mode ! ??
Try using the Google Android adb drivers. Keep trying different USB ports until it works.

Something similar happened on my G2 at one point, so everything I'm saying is going off that.
Firstly, what was the situation of your phone prior to this? Was it rooted? Did it tend to overheat? What are the first three numbers on your serial number?

Well I did a really strange thing, in which I put my phone in the freezer, and I got into the download mode again. When I start to flash the KDZ file, I got an error " Erro Code = 0x2000, TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version. " , any ideas how can I solve it ?
