Tried to install CWM from market as Galaxy Tab 10.1. The tab is bricked, if you choose to boot into recovery you will get sutck in an endless loop of reboots. With a little effort and connecting the tab to a PC you can get back to the choice menu and enter download mode.
You have been warned!

Thanks, downloading now from: http://www.samsung-firmware.de/pxxx_62889641.html
This is the netload folder for the wi-fi version: http://netfolder.in/folder.php?folder_id=VgnYQ90 and the password: samsung-stuff.de
Samfirmware uses awful slow hosts lately.
Just got it today and I really got scared as the boot menu didn't show up anymore (the sammy logo did appear but it was followed by immediate shutdown) I was starting to think I got myself a hard brick
Got it from Amazon.fr, sorry I won't be able to share my firmware anymore...

Be careful. Sometimes it clears your SD card as well (depending on what exactly you're doing).
To be safe, make a backup of you SD card on your computer.
Only flashed the bootloader from that pack, seems to work!
... more or less. Trying to boot into recovery will restart the tabled, trying to do so from the CWM app will bring you back to the reboot loop...

Sweet bro.
Sure wished I'd seen this message last night.....
Well, now to see if I can fix mine.

Thanks for finding this trick. I applied it but I moved from soft brick to what I thought was hard brick. Leaving it on the charger for a half hour as I took the dogs for a walk "woke the dead".

A hard brick is when nothing shows up no matter what. Screen stays black no matter what you do, power button doesnt work, you cant get into any recovery or bootloader or anything..
I was a little iffy to install it...so glad I didn't. Had some issues with it on my GS2..pfft
i think i have bricked mine new P 7500
but there is nothing wrong i did with this device
tab is now in only conecting in APX
NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
no sign of charging and no light on display
is there any way to recover it back??????????
this is semi or hard bricked?????
How? this thread is meant for the 8.9 tabs...
This topic should be a sticky!
Anyway too late for me, just trying to work out what brick I have. Basically I done the above too but I'm trying to work out what type of brick I've got. I cannot see a charge light when put on charge. I can get to an option for recovery or download but can't get to recovery. I just get a bootloop of powering on as far as the samsung logo before shutting down, or at least the screen going black. I've never connected to computer yet but I think I've found the files I need should it be a soft brick. Any help in getting me through this would be appreciated.

Hmmm, can someone tell me a little more about this. What files exactly, from that german site? Now I'm confused. Could someone provide a link. I've got a uk unlocked sim free wifi only. And I know its a pita but some guidance on what do do with that file would be a great help

Trapped myself in this lobster pot too. Probably hold the record for purchase to soft brick in 10 hrs!
there is a link in second post from op which has the roms and the flashing software (Odin)eunfortunately they only had a 7310 rom when I looked. You need a 7300 rom for your phone to work. Please read as many forums as you can on this first. I ended up flashing an Asian image just to get back on my feet, then ended up flashing overcome and over clocking which works very well. Wish you luck!
same
same thing happened to me .I should of looked here before trying a backup. Used Odin to install this and its all good, and 3.2. megaupload.com/?d=0KYNVV4Z
FYI, I was stupid yesterday and allowed ROM manager to update my recovery partition (it told me there was an update available). Of course the update was for a Tab 10.1 and soft bricked my tab (it went into a boot loop). I recovered by going into download mode and using odin to flash only Tab 8.9 clockwork recovery image.
So, if anyone else bricks their tab by using an incompatible recovery, you should be able to recover back to where you were by just flashing a compatible recovery instead of using a full odin ROM.
r a Hey guys i hope you can help me.
My phone is a Galaxy S 2 without any branding. I have flashed the ParanoidAndroid Custom Rom 3 weeks ago and all seems to be ok. Last week i had to flash my phone in stock rom to send it to repair.
Now the repair is done and i want to flash the custom rom.
And there's the problem.
I rooted my phone, flashed the CWM-Recovery and the custom rom.The Rom starts and i can login in my phone. Every time the phone gets in standby by timeout i couldnt wake up the phone and can do nothing than a hard reboot.but than the phone stays at bootscreen and do nothing. After 30 sec. a screen with kernel panic appears. If this happens i can only flqsh the stock rom in download modus.
I have tried several roms.
I hope you can help me please.

In recovery - > Wipe data, wipe cache and dalvik cache. This may solve the bootloop. If the problem persists, re-insert a battery and flash the rom again (i think you'll able to go into a download mode).
flash
Every time i flash a new rom i make a full wipe. So that's not the problem. I also tried several kernel.

which rom do you flashed ?
rom
I tried several roms. ParanoidAndroid, BlueRom, resurrection rom... the problem stays at all roms...only the stock rom runs
Did you perhaps after the repair instead of your cell phone get a new version to another? Perhaps an i9100 or i9100g?
Sorry but my english is not very good....
Its the same phone

Is your phone i9100 or i9100g? According you mention before, I think Resurrection rom is for i9100.
It's a GT-I9100 so the rom is for
I tried different solution but nothing works. Tried several roms, release and re-insert the battery, always make a full wipe before flashing, reflashing the rom.
The thing is:
I can flash a custom rom without problems...the new flashed rom starts without problems...BUT if the phone gets into standby and stays there for 1 min i can't wake up the phone...i can only hard reboot the phone..release the battery and re-insert it. Then the phone boits and stays at boot. I can only enter the download modus.
This is the forum for G-user!!!!!! This is the wrong forum for you, sorry....

I can't get "S/W Upgrade" mode
You were on Official ICS?
O2X has many ways to be switched on... it can also boot without battery ... if you are running stock rom (it doesn't matter much which one) then try to pull out battery (2-3s), place it back inside, then press and hold volume down button and power button till something happen... if you tried that, try to pull out your battery for longer time (i am not sure how long it has to be out but 24h will be enough), is is another way to factory reset your phone.
If that above didn't work you will have to do dirty job - flashing new rom via pc. If you never did that then find out some more info abou it first, but it is absolutly save. O2x is un-brickable phone...
---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------
If you will have to flash new rom, then i can recommend you this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504280
- It is GB rom with extreme smoothness and battery life.
If you want something better then this JellyBean is very good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059372
I have same situation.... Friends O2x just stopped to work a week ago... Before that it was freezing and rebooting (i assume the reason is broken digitizer, although functional, but freezes mostly occur in temp changing.. for ex: leaving house....)
i cannot enter in recovery, i cannot enter in SW upgrade... every attempt of turning it on, or trying in recovery mode results with LG logo and than black screen (turned on, but black)...
SW is 2.3.4 stock... Is it possible to reflash, via PC, phone in that condition? (i didnt try yet, cause friend is in different town, but will send me phone tomorrow, and I'm now in stage of learning how to with LG (i own htc, have experience in flashing and stuff with samsung and motorola))

As i said above o2x can be booted in million ways. One of them is polling out the battery, holding simultanously volume up and down and connecting it to pc... your phone will still look like dead piece of useless garbage but it will boot up in some kind of emergency mod. You will then have to download any custom rom and flash it to your phone.
... and again, as i said above, i recommend you flash one of these roms... that GB one o had for 1 month really good battery life and RAM management. Second one JellyBean is extremelly smooth but less battery conservative (as all 4xx+ roms), i have the JB one 3rd day and till now no problem

Yeah, ive just found that way... I hope good will come . I will try to flash stock ICS v30b, as i saw it is OK for normal usage (he is not "hardcore" android user )
Thanks man , will be posting (hopefully) success
Oh i forgot to tell you that the JB rom (the install package not the rom itself) has a bug. It contains invalid META-INF folder and you would be unable to flash it. First you have to take meta-inf from version 3.2.0 of that rom and insert it into 4.0.0 archive but everyting is written in that forum thread
Hope i helped coz i am not developer... only user same as you

I wish you good luck .
And to inform you all 4+ roms are less conservative ICS included... tried TOPOGIGI ICS rom and although it was better then most Cyanogens it was still a lot worse then the GB i posted and if he really isnt that "hardcore user" then try the GB one... my o2x survived 8 days without charging and i was surfing on net about 2 hours per day .

long press the power button for about 20 seconds. after about 3-4 seconds, press volume down as well. this should reboot your device into the bootloader. try it.
