please if anyone has anything to help please do so i i need the pit file and the frimware ffor the sprint tab
there is no firmware. what did you do to your tab?
i try the epic one click root now it boots in a loop
can you wipe data?
No is there anything I can do
you can't get into recovery at all? hit the power button while holding vol+up
It won't let me that's why I need thefirmware but I can't find it anywhere
Can I use eur firmware to get it aleast running again
No that will permanently brick it. I dont see why you can't get into recovery.. you always can if it bootloops. When it won't even start up is when your in trouble.
This is wha it does it boot says samsung than turns off and trys to reboot the only way for me to stop it is to put it download mode and and the power key it work go to recovery because the one method I used had clockworkmod and I think that what's cause all the trouble idk what do you think
dont understand what ur trying to say. it doesnt make sense

What I get out of it is he tried to use a one click root that had clockworkmod in it.Which was a very dumb thing to do flashing stuff from another phone it always ends badly.

Ok yea I tryied the one click root with clockworkmod for the epic is there any way to fix this its still is able to go in to download mode some I bevlive I can if I have the right firmware
Listen to me very carefully.
There is no firmware available for the Sprint Tablet. Do not flash any other firmware. If you can't get into recovery mode by holding the power button and vol-up at the same time, then you are screwed.

Ok but if and when sprint release the firmware it will be possiable to reflash the firmware to get the tab working again?
Technically if you had a .tar stock ROM for Sprint you could restore everything... but there's no telling when that will be available.

How whould go about getting this firmware who do I need to talk to just point me in the right place
Can you get adb to work ?
Plug the phone in and try to use adb, if you can there might be hope.
he cant get adb as it doesnt get past the samsung logo. those firmwares you get on odin are actually LEAKED from sprint.. you're not going to be able to get them no matter who you talk to.

Do you get any lights whatsoever when it's plugged in?
Also, have you tried leaving it on charge for a while in the mains? Generally, when ODIN fails, the phone/tab allows you to get back into download mode, so this is new to me.
Was it flashing the radio (modem.bin) at the time, out of interest?

No modem only the .tar and .pit files. i had flashed my galaxy s plenty of times with no problems. i left it charging tonight while im at work to see if that will do anything but i get no lights or anything. ive seen that some ppl get the pc to device screen but i dont get that either. but just wanted to try some things before shipping it to samsung only bc im in iraq and shipping takes forever.
Do U get anything when plugging the tab via USB to your computer ? And I do not mean Odin, I am just saying if the computer sees the USB connection.
Also, have you tried to press the POWER button and tap the screen at the same time ?

Nope the computer doesn't recognize it either. i get nothing at all..no i haven't tried that ...what exactly will that do?
If I bricked my Tab, I too would describe it as F***ED! But even with my moderate modding experience, Im not ready to do the phone mod. Just seems to me like too much risk.
Good luck with your Tab!

well i figured this would be an appropriate place to ask this type of ? as other ppl do. due to the fact that i was installing firmware from this section of the forums i figured i would ask the developers that read and write here.
anyways...i called samsung and told them idk why it wont cut on and they said to call it a power issue. so im going to send it to them to see if they can tell what i did..hopefully not. but we will see.

Try leaving it connected to your computer for up to 1 hour with Odin loaded and ready on the screen.
Someone it will take time before it allow your PC to talk to it when it a messed up state due to a bad flash!

i dont see the thread on here but it was on here about a week ago. the first one that got you 3g + phone. Im not on my laptop bc im at work but do you know what im takling about.
Edit: i think it was the old JME and 512.pit...
OK just as an update and for anyone who had the same prob...as in tab will not do anything...i called samsung used the 1 yr warranty and told them it was a power issue...that i went to work it was on came home it was off and wouldnt power up so they replaced it with another one.
Well, today I tried setting up ClockworksMod so I could easily backup and restore my phone as needed. (As previous work i had caused issues and it wouldnt reboot until i reinstalled the rom)
Well, clockworkmod recovery would not install through the app, so I installed the image through Odin, and that worked flawlessly. I was able to backup and restore.
After it booted back up I was unable to add a new google account or erase the old one. Factory resetting it would casue it to get stuck in the boot loop again, until i restored it or reflashed.
Eventually I tried flashing another image, with repartition turned on.
Well, without surprise Windows 7 semi crashed and killed Odin.
Now when my phone "turns on" all i see is black. Nothing happens. I cant do any of the 3 button combos to get into Recovery or Download mode
Can anybody help me? I need to get this working ASAP!
Thanks
Edit : I need to check my eyes. I thought you can get into download mode.
If you cannot get to download mode with the 3-button-combo then you'll need a jig.

You need a jig.
Uhm, why did you check repartition?
Also yes, you will need a jig. That's pretty much the only thing that can get you into download mode in this situation.

It can still work in some cases, lets hope it does in yours.

Yes I did, was that something I shouldn't have done?
It sat on repartitioning for about 15 minutes, then windoes said Odin stopped responding and it killed it :/
I've been telling everybody to stop using the .pit files and repartitioning the device for every flash as you're just increasing the possibilities of things going wrong but people don't seem to take notice. Sadly in your case something did go wrong. You only need to use the .pit files and repartition the device if you mess up your partition table.
Those guys at Samfirmware really need to stop telling people to repartition their device for every flash.

Well, lesson learned. Today was the first time I even tried installing another ROM
Thanks for the help
Once my Jig comes in, I'll let you all know how it goes!
check if the phone heatens up extremely as soon as you put the battery in. if yes, thats a really bad sign.
a jig will only help you if you see anything on the screen. if the phone/screen doesn't react to ANYTHING, that's a full brick (happened to me too, jig didn't help, nothing helped, phone was completely dead and i had to send it in. fortunately, they repaired it within warranty).

See, this is what I was trying to say! I read everywhere that if somethign is on the screen the Jig will work, otherwise it wont. Others are replying to me here saying it should still work for me
I'm not too worried about it. I have 4 of the phones. I work closely with Samsung and they were given to me. It would still be nice if it recovers, so we will see!
i guess in situations where it was reported to work under these conditions the owners didnt fully exploit all different possibilites to get it back on and so they just came up with this false assumption.
nonetheless, it's worth a try. at least, the jig is pretty useful to remove the yellow exklamation mark and to reset the flash counter .

I'm not saying it will work for sure, what I'm saying is depending on the damage done it may still get you into download mode so you can flash the firmware.

to be precise, it's the "custom binary counter" which counts up as soon as you flash something modified manually on your phone. has nothing to do with your problem, though.
We need to find the way to boot the device externally, i.e. bootloader on ext. SDCard or the likes....
Hello I just go my S4 today. I downloaded goomanager because I wanted to install TWRP. It did not work. Now when I try to reset back to factory settings I keep getting a screen that says downloading do not turn off target. How can I fix this and get it back to the normal recovery mode?
i have no idea what carrier or device (i337 / i337m) you have.
when you got your device did you check in settings to see what build number you were running and then check out the material on xda before proceeding? there's ways of doing things that can save you headaches if you browse and read first. cheers
Dude, you pretty much hosed your new phone by not doing your home work before messing with it. I'm sure you're on mf3 firmware. Your best hope is to get it re-flashed at a bestbuy with the Samsung experience. You'll have some explaining to do! Good luck!

You can probably get it to boot by pushing vol down when it goes to download mode. But your recovery is messed up now.
To the OP
I have the same issue. I manage to reboot the phone by turning it off, holding the power and volume down buttons, then when it asks if I'm sure I want to install a custom ROM, I hot cancel (volume down) and it reboots like normal.
Right now, I'm just trying to get mine back into ecovery so I can install CM

You're not going to be able to get it into recovery. Bestbuy is your best solution. Or wait until if and when an odin flashable firmware is available.
Im getting out of it that way too. But if I ever want to update or anything this will stop me i think. I can use it for now but I really want to fix it. nothing worse than having a phone for an hour and ****ing it up.

No, it has to be mf3 firmware and it's not currently available. Trying to flash an earlier firmware won't work. There is a qfuse in the phone's circuitry that is blown when mf3 is on the phone which won't let you downgrade.
Edit, I feel sorry for you man, messing up your phone in the first hour. You're not the only one. Here is what others have done. Read it all it might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45359306

Yea. I'm with you 100%. I'm searching for a solution myself. I had CWM running fine at first, and wanted to swap to TWRP for an easier interface, and didn't do enough research. If I find anything, I'll be back on your post to tell you how I fixed it

Sorry to say, but you'll be wasting your time. You'll find that there have been many, many people in the same boat for months now and the only current solution is if you can get bestbuy to re-flash it. They and att are the only ones who have the firmware available.

if your recovery is still broken, nothing. you can use the Odin filed for MF3 or find the thread about someone who use a recovery flasher app to repair before doing the update.

Hey... I jacked up my phone installing a custom recovery with GooManager too. It isn't for our phone. To get back to Android from DL mode just do power button+vol up+home and it will send ya back. Take it to Best Buy and say Kies broke your phone. You were trying to run an update and it messed it up. They can fix it for ya. Obviously you're rooted so just delete Superuser.apk and delete all root apps. Just in case. And don't be a derp and tell them the phone was rooted... Good Luck.
(Go back and hopefully they won't remember you.)

hold power plus volume down with the phone hooked to the PC to enter the bootloader
from the bootloader you can use fastboot boot recovery twrp.img
from twrp you can flash a stock rom
you can't remove the unlocked bootloader message
