[Q] Galaxy Tab hangs on Galaxy Tab Logo after firmware upgrade

Hello, I have upgraded my galaxy tab (pda jj3-phone jid - csc jj2) to roto jmi firmware with odin 1.7. all the process seems to be ok, no error message.
After rebooting, the device hangs on galaxy tab samsung logo. factory reset is no longer possible. Does anybody have a idea?
Many thanks in advance.

Ever heard of "if it ain't broke dont fix it"? So, there you go

sure... sure but now it is

Try using volume UP rocker + power button.
This should put the phone into recovery.. Then you select reset to factory defaults. That should do the trick.

thx kragebein, unfortunately my device won't to go in recovery mode

Are you sure you are doing it right? Hold down the up volume rocker and the power button at the same time until you hit the recovery screen? Optionally you could try to see if you get it in download mode, and reflash your phone.. i had severe problems with mine, but got it fixed today by using roto-jma rom..

Yes, I think I dit it right. Download mode can be activated with volume down & power, but not recovery mode with volume up & power. I have tried to load the firmware again without any error message, but no way.

Same here. Whatever I do (flash) I don't get past the Samsung Boot screen.

You need to flash a complete rom, like Roto JME FULL v.4 with the tab in download mode. He gives complete instructions.
Some releases are just upgrades, so start with a complete rom.

I have tried that and either it fails to upload the primary bootloader (boot.bin) or it stays the same after flashing: it doesn't go beyond the first Samsung Screen. No adb connection possible.
How can I flash a primary bootloader without protection? With JTAG only?

A forum member, Rotohammer used a Jtag box to fix the bootloader issue. He doesn't recieve PM's, but someone he collaborated with to solve the bootloader issue is a fellow named Chainfire. Perhaps you can contact him for the procedure.
But when you flashed the JME did you use the hidden .pit file with repartition selected?
If I was in your spot I would
1. turn off the tab (push power button for 10 sec)
2. then push power and volume down to go to download (yellow digger screen or phone and pc screen)
3. Connect to pc with odin3 already opened, wait until the yellow box shows the connection
4. Load the p1_hidden.pit and check repartition
5. Flash that, then power off, go into DL again, load and flash JME v4 full rom
6. Now flash a modem

hi guys im thinking that u guys may have flash a lock bootloader rom
or u actually already have a lock bootloader rom
try load a roto jme v4 full version see if it works~
1. download odin 1.7
2. download Addon-JME-Modem.zip / P1_add_hidden.pit / Roto-JME-Full-v4.zip from http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/
3. and follow the instruction here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827

I wish i said that.

The bootloader mentioned above is in a thread about the black screen and white line you are experiencing. It has the link to that jj4 file.

Thanks, but this didn't help. I think it may be a hardware issue (e.g. the kernel can't be loaded, panic or something). I will return my tab tomorrow.

Touch Wiz update messed tab up please help!

ok so here is what happened i have a stock US retail wifi only 16gb tab no clockwork recovery or none of that , im kind of a noob when it comes to that stuff, so today i received the update cool i downloaded it but it didn't install the first time for some reason. The it said a previous update was sucessfully downloaded but did not install do i wish to instal so i clicked yest and it said tab is about to reboot, clicked ok and it took me to this black and grey screen like the boot screen only with a loadbar and it zoomed to 100 percent. then i got the original samsung galaxy boot logo and the noise but no animation then the screen goes to this nasty screen with alot of colorful lines and dots everywhere and i cant see anything looks terrible.
Heres what i can do i can go into the bootloader by pressing power and volume. and i already tried to do a restore/wipe but didnt help, i can also plug it in to the computer and use the sd card and put and remove files from tab. im wondering if i can somehow get the update put it in the tab and install from there and see if it works or if i can get stock honeycomb and try to see if that works because they guy at samsung was clueless he didnt get the fact that i cant use the OS and said i need to get it serviced when i know its a software problem.

exact same thing happened to me! keep me posted

I've just got absolutely the same problem. I have a stock wifi 32gb version.

If you can get to your bootloader and sdcard still then why don't you just install CWM and try flashing the stock 3.1 OTA?
All the files you need and instructions are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
Once you're done flash the stock recovery back and try the update again, or just wait for one of the devs to release a flashable zip.

sorry if im mistaken but dont i need to be able to use the tab and install something from the market place to be able to install CWM thats what im getting from what i read?

I can't even get my bootloader. Holy f**k am I pissed. Does anyone have any ideas??

Ok. So I installed the Samsung Kies software. It recognizes the device and shows that the update is available. However, it says that the battery should be fully charged. So now I am waiting for the full charge to proceed.
Hope the Kies helps.

I'll try that too. ahh

No.
Go to the thread I linked, download the files, watch the youtube video.
1. Install the GT-p7510_USB_Driver if you haven't already
2. Start Odin - untick the auto reboot option
3. Click PDA and choose recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5
4. Power up your tab and get it into download mode (power down + vol down, then vol up)
5. connect the tab to your PC, one of the boxes in odin should highlight yellow and say com 4 or whatever.
6. press start and it'll flash CWM to your tab
7. wait till it's done, it should only take a few seconds and the boxes will turn green.
8. power down your tab and unplug it from your pc
9. boot into CWM, (power down + vol down, vol down to select CWM, vol up to enter.
10. flash hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip
11. do a factory wipe in CWM and wipe davlik just to be safe
12. reboot, and hopefully you'll be back to stock 3.1
From here you can do whatever you want.

Connect it to a PC and there's a firmware recovery on KIES. Hope that works!

it didn't work for me. There were no devices in the list to recover.

I'm going to try it once my kies is finished updating. I really hope this works.

haha well first and formost i want to thank everyone for thier input. I did alot of searching online i tried KIES samsung tech support was useless. So i found the instructions on how to put clockwork on a locked bootloader got it on there and flashes the stock rom and it worked my tab is now back! only problem now is i tried to update again and only go the minor update and it doesnt find the big one lol but cant complain ill just wait lol thanks again. and to others who had the same problem dont deal with KIES to recover its useless unless you were using the program to update. I suggest getting CWM and flashing stock since thats what worked for me?

Glad to hear it worked.
Since you now have CWM, just download the flashable zip from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198921
Make sure you do a factory reset in CWM after you flash this, otherwise you'll bootloop.

Thank you DocRambone, flashing that via Odin got me up and running.
Then I flashed CWM as per earlier post and then flashed the Stock UEKMB + root ROM and I guess I am good to go.

Ok guys. This is my report. I used the Kies to update. The firmware was updated successfully and now the tablet works perfectly!
So this is easier and less painful method than using CWM described above =)) (but thanks to hoodoomagic for the description anyway)
Hope this will help somebody.

How to Re-stock P1000 to Gingebread 2.3 | Guide with Links

NOTE : this is not my own procedure but i just wanna share this with you guys since some tab users here are having problems restocking their tab to gingerbread, i have also added some notes and troubleshooting in case there will be an issue flashing the rom
link to the original post credits of course to the writer > how to restock p1000 to gingerbread 2.3
btw, this is a complete and full tutorial/step-by-step guide on how to restock gingerbread rom, so if you did not download all requirements, restocking wont be successful
my story and experience : hey guys, yesterday night, i softbricked my galaxy tab p1000 which was running cm9, it turned out like that when i went to recovery and wipe all data, cache, dalvik, even system, and boot. i tried reflashing the cm9.zip but as it was installing its update, my tab suddenly boot into battery icon, meaning it was already empty (maybe, dont have any idea), then, since it was already 12 midnight, there were no internet cafes open in our village, so i went out though somehow it might be dangerous for me, then, i found an internet cafe open. i rent a pc, first, i tried to go to download mode, so some drivers will be installed, but it kept showing "unkown device recognized" bla bla.. still.. i didnt lose hope. so i searched on google, and i found this site > http://suzhipackz.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-re-stock-samsung-galaxy-tab.html , when i finished downloading odin, i opened it to check whether it will read my device or not, first three attempts, it did not. so, i thought of downloading samsung kies so the drivers will be installed (safest way really to install samsung drivers), then i still looked for a smaller file (while waiting for kies to complete its download), then i found that there is a smaller zip file for you to install samsung drivers (see attachment below), i installed it, but still odin cant detect my device (try it, might be just on the pc i rented), so i just waited for kies to complete.. after a couple of minutes, successfully downloaded kies, and installed it. i tried connecting tab to pc with odin opened, i rebooted to download mode again and reconnect tab to pc, and voila! odin read my device! so, since pc has already detected my device, i just waited about 1 1/2 hours for the rom and the pit file and the db data file.... after almost 2 and half hours of crossing fingers, i have revived my tab and restocked it to gingebread 2.3!

Samsung Tab P1000 stuck in nowhere!
First of all thanks the OP for the brilliant post on how to re-stock GB on P1000.
Earlier today I was fooling around with my P1000 to update it from CM11 to Omnirom 5.0.2, troubles started there. I was trying to install the TWRP recovery over CWM, and that is when all hell broke loose.
1. P1000 couldn't mount my internal SD. The tab was perfectly booting to a previous version of JB CM sapir, which I don't have any clue appeared where from. The storage showed the 2 GB internal memory, but the 12GB internal SD was missing out.
And the CWM errors were E:/can't mound internal SD
2. Now, after wiping data, dalvik, battery stats, formatting and all that, the tab doesn't even boot into the OS. The moment the power button is on, CWM initiates a count down saying, trying to mount SD, but unable to do so. After 20 seconds, the tab starts this whole process again, and thus a loop.
3. I tried to re-stock to GB; but my tab isn't being detected by Odin in download mode. Odin detects the tab when it is turned on and when the tab is on countdown-restart-countdown loop; but not in download mode.
I am a total noob, and I don't want to throw my tab away as I am a student and can't afford to get a new one Someone please help me to fix the issue. Thanks in advance!

What did you do prior to this? It looks like you flashed a custom recovery but Knox is terminating the boot process.

Have you tried to odin back to stock?

No. You must get into download/Odin mode by pressing volume down + home + power simultaneously, then launch Odin, then connect phone to computer.

If you have a Verizon retail version of the Note 3, you can not use Clockworkmod recovery. Because your bootloader is locked. You can only use Hashcode's Safestrap (in the Development section).

Which means you must be rooted first, then install Safestrap, which is a modified TWRP recovery. You can thank Verizon for that bullsh!t

Flash PIT - this will fix it
You need to flash the PIT with ODIN, latest version (3.09, I believe). Google for a download mirror that hosts the PIT for whichever type of note 3 you have, then flash it with odin (should work while in the invalid software screen). Then, if it doesn't reboot, just remove the battery and unplug that sucka. When it reboots, it should go back to download mode or just regular bootup. I recommend setting up adb, which makes it much easier to put the phone into whatever mode you desire with a simple dos command.

this happened to me last night, I went into Odin mode "home, volume down, power button" instead of selecting odin mode from that menu I selected "reboot phone" (or something to that effect) My note 3 restarted......PHEW...... hope this helps someone

ok so I once got to the point to where I could not but factory reset my phone and so I did settings > backup and restore > factory reset > YES I'M SURE!!! then my phone when into recovery mode as it should normally only to tell me that it could not enter recovery. Verizon's fault and now I cant access my recovery mode. is there a way to get back into it so I can finally flash a new rom. oh I had figured out how to get out of the boot loop thing by entering download mode and canceling. but it would be nice to be able to mess with this beast of a phone. please help me. I don't want to do something I wasn't supposed to. im not sure want to do with klms agent deals with knox right?

[Q] Brick Help

My brother has a rooted Sprint GS4 and he says he clicked to install a Samsung update that was pushed through his phone (probably 4.3). The phone cannot boot into recovery. Trying to get into recovery leads to a screen saying the update is installing and it always fails and restarts the phone. The phone cannot boot and freezes on the Sprint screen.
*EDIT: Now the phone won't even get past the black galaxy s4 screen!!
How I've been troubleshooting:
The battery was taken out for over 6 hours and same thing.
I tried to use ODIN to flash 4.2, ODIN stops on a write error
(following the QB King video)
Should I try to find 4.3 and attempt to flash? Is there anything else I could do? Thanks!!

If the phone was already 4.3, you have to use Odin to flash MK2. Anything older than that will not work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601443
If the update to 4.4.2 (NAE) failed, you may have to use one of the 4.4.2 ROMs to get the phone to boot until the official 4.4.2.tar comes out. Try MK2 first though.

There is a MJA full tar available from rwilco12's repository. First charge the phone for a couple hours. Then put into download mode - volume down+ power, then volume up to confirm. Run Odin as administrator, put the tar.md5 file in the pda shot, connect the phone and flash with Odin 3.07 or 3.09.
First boot may take five earth minutes or more.
If it gets stuck on yellow screen for more that ten minutes, boot into stock recovery and factory reset. Should be good to go.

Thank you for reporting back!
That is a big thing, it really helps the community.
Since the phone will be on the full stock it will probably get the OTA update notification.
Might want to hold off on that for a bit.
To turn off the notification for these in the future:
1. from the homescreen click menu.
2. click settings.
3. click more
4. click application manager.
5. scroll over to all
6. find google services framework.
7. uncheck "show notifications"
the short cut?
1. pull down the notification bar
2. long press on the system update notification
3. press app info
4. uncheck "show notifications"
Have fun and good luck with your new phone.
Spend some time reading, searching and reading and you all will sure enjoy this device.
Good luck.
