Could someone make a "howto get back to stock FW" for the tab? Lots of howto's here, but no one that reverses the process. If someone also could decrypt the file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889165 and upload it, it would be great. The decodertest.exe does not work.
Thanks a lot!

Hello,
before I start
Flashing a device always comes with a certain risk - if you do not pay attention, you may end up with a device you cannot use anymore. For this reason,
* READ INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY ! *
If there are any videos, you can feel lucky + should watch them,
and follow the instructions step-by-step.
If questions do come up, I recommend to ask them BEFORE you flash being unsure if the settings are really ok. You can send me a PN or post in here
* * *
To go back to aka flash Stock Firmware for Galaxy Tab,
1) back up your files
2) go here: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
(if you have not yet registered for samfirmware, do it! Believe me, you will sure not regret it)
3) make sure to read the instructions
4) Download and read the PDF instruction guide in the link (especially the pages explaining how to pick the files for ODIN)
5) Watch the Video
6) Download: ODIN v1.7 & the appropriate Firmware for your device
- ! .. everything below here is also well described in the PDF guide .. ! -
7) Open ODIN, pick the files
(!) if you need to repair, make sure to also pick the .PIT file and tick re-partition (personally, I always flash with the .PIT file + re-partition when I flash a new firmware; only when I upgrade I do not flash the .PIT)
8) Switch the Tab to USB Debugging (Settings - Applications - Development - tick: USB debugging / go to: Yes in the pop up window)
9) Power Off the Tab
9a) I always take out the SIM Card and the External SD Card at this step
10) Start Download Mode (hold: Volume Down + then: Power, once screen starts release only the Power button; until you see the yellow droid with the shovel)
11) Connect Tab with the PC
12) now PC installs drivers & in ODIN: on the left hand corner there should be [COM:...] in yellow (this means: ODIN has recognized your device)
13) check once more if the appropriate files have been chosen in ODIN
14) once you are ready, click: START
15) ODIN will now flash - check the Message field on the left hand bottom
(!) don't run anything now, leave the PC and the Tab, and let ODIN do its work, it will take a few minutes
16) once ODIN is done it will say: "PASS" in green on the top left hand corner & the Tab will reboot
- the reboot will take longer than usual, let it fully reboot!
In my case, after flashing Firmware my Tab was in Russian language - I had to go to Settings and set my language to English (if you need help let us know)
Let me assure you that I have flashed two times using Firmware from SamFirmware.com and both times, everything went really well!
Thanks man! You're the best!
you are very welcome /
only a few days ago, I was sitting with my tab in my hands, the tab was stuck in boot loop, I was totally frightened of having ruined it .. asking myself exactly the same question: "How can I flash a stock firmware?"
.. Users sharing experience and helping each other out this is what this forum is here for
I followed your description and it seems everything went well! I still have a question, though; When I connect the tab with Kies, it says under "firmware information": This version of the unit can not be updated" (it's in norwegian, I have translated it so it might not be word-by-word the same as in the english version). The question is: how come?
When I now enter *#1234* the tab states:
PDA: P1000XWJMF
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: P1000SERJM4
Thanks!

I was inviting someone to research and study, then share their new knowledge. That is what pushes android development forward. My suggestion could have benefited many! At least I wasn't bashing anyone!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzi_U-fH5Us
That is amazing! Can I suggest adding a few key words in the description? No, nevermind, the title is perfect. Good work!
I was going to follow this guide to see if I can get my VZW USA Tab back to stock because it constantly force closes everything.. I just can't figure out if my firmware is on that website. It says if your from America you shouldn't flash any of those firmwares.. Is there any firmware that I can use for my Verizon Tab?

Absolutely please, go ahead!
Hmm, I was considering flashing my Verizon Tab as well with a custom ROM, but from what I am reading it still seems to be an iffy process.
If I were to go ahead and attempt it can anybody tell me if any of the ROMs out right now offer signifigant improvements over the stock? And since it is a Verizon Tab would the procedure for flashing a ROM as well as flashing back to stock be the same as the other carriers? Many kudos to the person who gave the detailed response about flashing back to stock, but I just wasnt sure if it applied to Verizon's version as well, as it's the Tab I've found the least info about.
Edit: Just for clarity, making the Tab into a phone isnt something I'm too concerned about...just wanted to slip that in as it seems to complicate the process of flashing these things much more.

READ BEFORE YOU FLASH: THIS FIRMWARE HAS A PROTECTED BOOTLOADER THAT WILL PREVENT YOU FROM FLASHING SAMSUNG OFFICIAL FIRMWARE.
MORE INFO HERE
I don't know if this process actually flash boot and spl because JM6 doesn't seem to have them, but you're on your own and I don't recommend you to do it.
Ok I'm going to make a detailed guide of how this worked for me because succeed depends a lot on which firmware you have in your tab. It's a good idea to start with JM6 since you can flash it completely if you have an older firmware or JMA (I guess you won't be able to flash it in the future if a new firmware is released). You won't lose your internal SD Card data but your phone will be factory reset.
1) Download JM6 from HERE
You'll get Odin 1.7 + PIT + PHONE + PDA + CSC.
2) Download JMA from here: HERE
3) Download JMC from here: HERE
4) Start Odin 1.7 and select:
*PIT P1_SMD_MAP.pit
*REPARTITION YES
*AUTO REBOOT YES
*F. RESET TIME YES
*PDA: CODE_P1000XXJM6.tar.md5
*PHONE: MODEM_P1000XXJM6.tar.md5
*CSC: CSC_P1000OXAJM6.tar.md5
5) Put your TAB in download mode: Turn it off, press POWER + VOL DOWN
6) Press start in ODIN and wait until process is completed. Your tab will REBOOT in download mode.
7) Now press POWER + VOL UP and when you see SAMSUNG logo RELEASE POWER BUT KEEP PRESSING VOL UP in order to enter recovery and let the TAB flash dbdata, it'll reboot and boot into android. (unplug your USB cable because Odin won't recognize it on some systems)
8) Open Odin 1.7 again or press RESET and select:
*PIT: NONE
*REPARTITION NO
*AUTO REBOOT YES
*F. RESET TIME YES
*PDA: JMA.tar (from JMA file obviously)
*PHONE: NONE
*CSC: NONE
9) Repeat 5), 6) and 7)
10) Open Odin 1.7 again or press RESET and select:
*PIT: NONE
*REPARTITION NO
*AUTO REBOOT YES
*F. RESET TIME YES
*PDA: P1000XXJMC_P1000OXAJMC_P1000XXJMA_HOME.tar (from JMC file obviously)
*PHONE: NONE
*CSC: NONE
11) Repeat 5), 6) and 7)
I have an AT&T TAB and this process worked for me.
If you need 850 + 1900 you only have to flash MODEM (PHONE button in ODIN) from HERE (modem_bell_i9000.zip) with No PIT, no repartition, no PDA and no CSC.
I hope this helps anybody and sorry about my english
EDIT: If for some strage reason you get the !!! --- !!! screen in your tab, don't panic. You can start the whole process again, Odin will detect your phone, it's a download mode anyway.
EDIT2: I always choose to wipe all my data. I use Titanium backup and I can get most of my data back from there. It's better to have a functional tab than a brick full of useless data. Wiping will always be safer.
EDIT3: Made some modifications to step 7. What you need to do is to enter recovery and that's it. It wasn't clear. Now I think you'll get it right. I didn't test it without step 7 but some people seems to be doing well without doing step 7. Maybe device is entering recovery automatically and flashing dbdata on its own (this is to be expected but sometimes it just doesn't happen).
What about rooting the device before you flash...?
Working great!!! However, I just didn't do step 7 in any of the 3 updates. What exactly do you mean in step 7? Which of the 4 options should I choose in Step 7?
Thanks

When flashing ends your device should install dbdata in recovery mode. Maybe with this procedure dbdata is flashed automatically when flashing JM6 at the beginning it's not necessary to do it manually.
If dbdata is not flashed you will not be able to boot android. Your device should display something like this when that happens (in recovery mode):
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA: copy default media conent failed.
Click to expand...

But I guess you're ok
Just ignore step 7 if your device entered recovery mode automatically after flashing ended.
OP , did U enable the voice capabilities ? And what was your initial firmware ?
Do U feel confident to say that you can str8 go from whatever FW you have to JM6 as a full flash , and not anymore move your way up from JJ4 (russian FW ) ?

If by voice capabilities you mean putting a sim card, yes, I tried and it works fine. I didn't test it that much, just a few calls and a lot of gprs. My initial firmware was jk5.
If I had a firmware older than JJ4 I'd just try to flash JM6 directly. I'm guessing here but I think that flashing JM6 the way I flashed it (following another guide in another forum) is like a full flash, it shouldn't matter what you had before.
Maybe someone with more knowledge could throw a light in here. What I can tell you is that I'd do it. I'm one of those guys that learn the hard way, and I've never bricked a device for good.
You're like me then. I do not even have my Tab yet but my fingers are already so much itching. In the meanwhile I am reading and learning. I am totally new to Samsung but I've had my hands busy for the past year with my Nexus One, so quite confortable playing with rom/kernel/radio world .

Flashing for morons
Monrad, thanks, this is a super post.
Just for me and all the other morons in the world. Can you also please give a basic run through of what you've done. I have the following questions.
1) You have 3 waves of activities in your post: JM6, JMA, JMC. Generally, what is each wave doing?
2) Please would you also explain what the fields in Odin1.7 are for?
*PIT -does this set the partitions on Samsung tab?
*REPARTITION -if PIT file this is automatically selected
*AUTO REBOOT YES -why do I select yes
*F. RESET TIME YES -what's this one for?
*PDA: CODE_P1000XXJM6.tar.md5 -PDA is core PDA firmware?
*PHONE: MODEM_P1000XXJM6.tar.md5 -what does this do? load modem drivers?
*CSC: CSC_P1000OXAJM6.tar.md5 -I'm not sure what CSC stands for and does?
3) With regards to getting my dirty hands on the right firmware, when I go to http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm, I look at the latest firmware for Europe. At the bottom of the list are 3 downloads:
a) JM6, b) JMA, c) JMC. What are the differences between these firmwares. I understand that J = 2010, but don't know how to decrypt last two digits.
4) Which PIT should be used in Step 1 of your sequence? What are the PIT files at the bottom of the page (in Flash Tools Section) of http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm
5) I bricked my tab. I got it alive again, only by loading the JMA via Odin 1.7. Basically I put my Tab in Download Mode. Started Odin1.7. Used the Eur Pit file (referred to in my Step 4), and then loaded JMA.tar (extracted from JMA file mentioned in my Step 3). With all the check marks checked in Odin. That was it, and my Galaxy Tab rebooted and seems to work totally fine. Why would I do the other steps mentioned in your sequence? What benefit is there?
5a) Note when I do *#1234# I get:
PDA: blank
PHONE: P1000XXJMA
CSC: blank
the PDA and CSC show blank....is that why I should first load JM6 and follow your sequence? What functionality do I currently not have because of these blanks?
6) A question on rooting my Tab... what are the benefits to doing this?
Thanks for dealing with my long winded post! I really appreciate what you've done so far.
You are a good man, Monrad!
I followed steps and got my AT&T tab updated.
A word about wiping data: I had my Tab fully set up with original AT&T firmware and then I started installation I got into lots of trouble. Instead of recovery mode it went into blank screen with vertical white line (I suspect it did dbdata update behind it though), then it rebooted and my apps started crashing.
The only way to fix it was to get to setting and do factory reset. After that everything went by the book.
So you may want to clarify that data must be wiped from Android, unless you have some other way.
Thanks again
How and where do I find the Dbdata file ?
When I go for step 7 i get the "can´t mount" and "media content failed" messages.

I now seems to work. But my *#1234# says jm6 even on the jmc firmware?
Anybody knows what is the differences between JMA and JMC ?
You don't need to flash JMA. You can go straight from JM6 to JMC
You can skip oen unnecessary step

Hi,
I wanted to try the Roto JME firmware, and I flashed it using the instructions at the dev forum. It seemed to work nice. Now I want to get back to stock firmware, and I am having a lot of trouble doing it.
I tried downloading the stock ROM at the sticky thread in the dev forum and decrypt it. It is not possible for me, I have tried four different computers with both Win XP and Win 7. All I get is "System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154)".
Anyhow, I downloaded the file already decrypted at the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881952&highlight=Official+ROMs.
I extracted the zip-file and in Odin v.1.70, I selected PDA = JME.tar which I got from the zip-file. I did not select re-partition. Odin says PASS! but the galaxy tab goes to a screen with a triangle with a exclamation mark in it, and it says "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage is not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed. "
I tried the reboot option. The screen says "SAMSUNG" and nothing happens. I don't dare try the other options.
Please help, I don't know what to do!
Sounds like the internal sd is corrupted. Try a factory reset in recovery

That did not work. It still just shows the Samsung logo, it waits some time and then it vibrates, and it seems it does some kind of new boot atempt.

I think you need to get a copy of dbdata.rfs.tar and flash it using odin.
You can find a link to download it in the second post in this thred.

Thanks man, it worked!
Still not back to stock FW though. I wonder why no-one has written a howto on that.
No problem
I have been using jk5 firmware which allowed my at&t tab to make calls. However, I noticed after a while, that 90% of my use of the tab was wifi and certain apps would not download because the vendor thought my app was from a different country. None the less, I thought it was best for me to just return to the stock firmware. i called Samsung, told them I wanted stock firmware back on my tab, they gave me a prepaid ups label and I just shipped it off today for a 7 day turnaround.
What?! So you're saying there is no known procedure for getting back to stock, without calling samsung? This is ridiculous... So I have a tab wich is more or less ruined in regards to future official updates, i.e. Honeycomb and such?
I feel sad and fooled..
If you know what the original firmare was, you can download it at samfirmware.com
I think the rom you downloaded has the protected bootloader :-(
Doesn't restoring your rotobackup get back to stock?
Just have have to remove the root , unlock and any other changes after restore?
Can't you point me to a description on how to do that? I would be very grateful.
If you have a signed bootloader you cant go back to stock until the new fix is ready. Read all about it here

here are the steps i took that ended me up in this mess,
i installed rom manager from android market,
then installed clockwork mod from inside rom manager, following the exact steps i was given but heres where i think i went wrong,
at some point it asked u back up everything onto an sd card, now i thought i had an sd inside it already but i didnt and thats what i think caused all the trouble,
i backed up all my files anyway onto the internal memory b4 goin into recovery mode, after completely wiping the phone as it saids u shud do, i then proceeded to load the modaco rom that i had installed into the "download" section of my memory and thats where it said the exact following words....
Checking /system...
E: failed to mount /system (invalid argument)
/system may be rfs. checking...
checking /date...
checking /database...
checking /cache...
filesystems need to be converted to ext4.
a backup and restore will now take place.
if anything goes wrong, your backup will be named before-ext4-convert-1297008631. try restoring it incase of error.
E:failed to mount /sdcrard (no such file or directory)
now i've tried restoring it and backing it up but all it repeats is the same thing, i know i messed up but now all i want to know is how can i fix it?
please any help would be much appreciated.

A brandnew start from scratch with Odin and repartioning with the rom from Rotohammer JMIv1.0 or v2.0 wouldt be my advice. You need the pit-file as well. Can be found on his server.

First extract the P1000XWJJ3.rar. You shouldt be left with a single tar-file?! If so
Well if you have the right files. Start Odin. On the left you see the option 'repartion', tick that box. On the left you see pit. Tick that box and load the pit-file. Tick the box PDA and load the tar.file you extracted.
Start the tablet in download modus and attach it to youre pc. You shouldt see on top left a yellow box. Then just press start in Odin
beware that all on yore tablet will be deleted.

Ok great. at least you got it working again....
Now you need to flash the baseband-modem that you can find in the download link below. Flash it in Odin. Uncheck repartion. Check 'phone' and load the modemfile you downloaded. Its a tar.file. Leave it as it is. Then press start and the baseband will be installed.
Then you have to set-up the APN from youre telecom-provider and you will be up and running.....

Hey mate, seems I am in a similar predicament here. Just 2 days back I flashed my Tab to Roto JMI v2 from a stock Asian firmware (DDJK3 I suppose) due to a bad Modaco flash that went really bad. Wiped off my data from god knows what areas. Now I am facing an issue that I am not able to understand or solve.
I was using Titanium Backup to remove a system app without Chuck Norris mode, which meant I had to reboot device and it would delete it OS level and say reboot to system. But once I click on reboot system an Exclamation mark just comes across the screen and NOW I CAN'T BOOT INTO my system. neither to i see the options it was earlier showing me upon Pwer + Vol Key up. The only option left for me is to reflash it using Odin.
Any Ideas mate? Reflashing again and again is not the solution right?
Thanks & Cheers!

Well, first of all. Removing system app ad hoc is not really clever to do. But you cant get into the recovery so you are able to clear cache and do a factory-reset? Volume-up+Power on and holding the volume-upbutton untill you get into the recovery?
If not you have to reflash from scratch with Odin. Use the pit/file and check repartion.
Hi Guys,
Been sent over here as you're the "bees knees" at fixing problems.
I have a Galaxy S which I rooted with Z4root and had the OCL lagfix also.
Was on 2.2 but updated via KIES to 2.2.1 yesterday ( sorry can't remember the last letters).
Phone now sits in boot loop, so tried reflashing stock firmware via Odin3. Phone WILL go into download mode, and WILL accept .PIT files and .TAR files. Odin says successful, but when phone boots, the Galaxy S screen comes up, then recovery screen with the following message
E:Can't mount/dev/block/st110 (invalid argument)
E;copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet,please use UI menu for format and reboot actions,
copy default media content failed.
Trouble is the phone won't boot so can't get to UI menu to format
Is this bricked big time or is it repairable? I presume the default media is the whole workings of the phone?
I have only limited knowledge of these things, and shouldn't have played with it in the first place.
Just need to know if I ought to claim for a new one on my house insurance?
Thanks
Do you have your stock jpy firmware already downloaded?
Follow the directions in the block 2 section.

presume you did not unroot or disable lagfix .
two different file systems is why it broke .
You need 3 button download mode + stock Firmware + odin
Flash stock firmware .
Or take the phone to Samsung and hope repaired under warranty .

This one is easy to fix so don't panic.
Download this ROM and extract (Odin 1.7 and 512.pit are included), then do as follows:
-Start Odin and load 512.pit, don't connect the phone yet.
-Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked, don't change anything else.
-Load PDA.tar.md5 as PDA, MODEM.tar.md5 as PHONE and CSC.tar.md5 as CSC.
-Put your Phone on download mode and connect it, start flashing.
When flashing is done, the phone will enter recovery mode, if it get stuck at the same error, simply do a wipe/factory reset and reboot the phone, the phone shall boot normally then.

Thanks for this. Got that file, using Odin and it gets as far as saying "Do not turn off Target" and it has been on that for approx 15 mins now. Is that too long?

Yes, that is too long. Unplug the cable and take out the battery for 2 min. then put on download mode before you connect the phone and flash again.
When you unplug it now an error will appear, don't worry about it, just take out the battery for 2 min. and you shall be able to enter download mode again.

You are one clever fella, don't know how to thank you enough.
It worked by doing that, and now it's back to stock I presume?
Is it safe for me to root again to use things like setcpu and lagfix?
Again, I can't thank you enough. My wife was in her element nagging me that I'd just cost us a lot of money !!

You are welcome, yes, it's back to semi-stock now.
In phone dialer enter the following : *#272*your_imei_number_here#
Put the phone IMEI-number in the code above and see if your CSC is XEU, if it's XEU then you are at stock, if not then choose XEU and hit "Install", the phone should reboot and reset and you will be fully at stock.
Root with SuperOneclick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 Use 1.5 after enabling USB-debugging mode , and reboot, newer ones tends to hit or miss.
I think that you might need to try using the phone without a lagfix, if you can't live without it then try voodoo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774500 which uses EXT4 filesystem, it's way more secure than EXT2 that you were using, and it has a nice audio fix.
You will be good anyway...tell your wife that it's not easy to kill a Galaxy S, unless you use a hammer ofcourse.
I think she'll be saving the hammer for me !!
Hope it doesn't matter which 1.5, gonna try 1.5.5.
I'll take your advice on trying it without lagfix for a while, see how it goes.
Sorry to be a pain, but doesn't Froyo have apps2sd built in, cos at the moment it seems to be saving them to my phones internal memory, not internal/external sdcards?
The applications are always saved to a partition called /data , it's 2GB in size.
The internal SD-card is divided as 2GB /data and 6GB /sdcard.
some applications can be moved to the internal/external SD-cards, you can check that under Settings>Applications>Manage applications and choose an application, if the button "Move to SD card" is highlighted then the application can be moved/run from the SD-card.
Thanks, that explains it.
Phone was a little laggy at first but seems to have speeded up after a reboot.
I'll leave you alone now ( for a while at least )
Thanks again, you've been really helpful, and hopefully shut my Mrs up for a while
And that takes some doin, believe me !!
hello everyone..i have a problem which i hope someone can find a solution.
I had a Tab with the following FW: PDA: P1000XWJJ3-PHONE: P1000XXJID-CSC: P1000OXXJJ2
I just wanted to flash it with an arabic support fw, so i used P1000JVJJ1 with PIT 816, REPARTITION ENABLED in odin 3 (no phone or CSC selected). That was it, and the tab rebooted into recovery mode error: E: Cant't mount /dev/block/stl10 (Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
so from here i tried to reboot...wipe data/factory reset, but nothing helps, it just boots till the samsung logo and then stuck with repetitive vibrations.
i also tried to flash back the P1000OXXJJ2 with no repartition enabled, but the same happened. finally i downloaded the P1000XWJJ3 from samfirmware thinking it might bring it back to original, but it was worst..Odin failed. Not to keep it in the worst condition, i reflashed it with P1000OXXJJ2, and now am back stuck at the samsung with vibrations. If anyone can help please. I dont care about P1000OXXJJ2 firmware to be installed. i just need the Tab to work again.
Thank You
If it boots at all, then it's not bricked.
Go get Rotohammers JMI firmware and flash that with the "add_hidden.pit" file as partition.
Credit to you for posting in the right section unlike most "my tab is bricked" posts which end up in the dev forum.
just to re-confirm what knightnz said, "if it boots at all, it's not bricked" ..and, i speak from the voice of experience. LOL ....and, hey, i'm not laughing at you, i'm just thinking back on the Days that i spent thinking mine was gone for sure.
just follow the directions given, and, you may/will be pleasantly surprised!
I did a similar thing, and Rotos files saved me. Just do what knightnz said to do, and you should be good to go. Besides, I am under the impression that the tab is very hard to brick. However, don't quote me on that.

It would be even harder, if tab has recovery partition like other android devices.. But we have no recovery partition as it is binded to kernel in Tab
thanks for your quick reply, really appreciate it. meanwhile, am downloading the Roto-JMI-Full-v2, but just a quick question, do i need to also flash the pda and modem or just the PDA is enough? note that in all my previous flashing i have not flashed the modem. Thanks again
Mission accomplished
Thanks a million guys, u were really helpful. I have flashed my tab with the JMI firmware alone and everything went fine except that the modem was not working (*#1234# Modem: Unknown), so i searched some forums and eventually i used the JME add-on modem which did the job.
so now ..for next time, if i needed to add some language support to my tab..how can i do that? Thank you all
