Galaxy Tab stuck on bootup

So I've got a Euro non-carrier galaxy tab - shortly after receiving it I've done an update via Kies and this appears to of bricked the device.
Here is what happens:
Booting normally, the device sits on the Samsung logo and occasionally vibrates. This can go on for hours
In recovery, I get:
update media, please wait
update media, finished
#manual mode#
update application, please wait
check_point2: /data/app is not directory
followed shortly by the recover menu, with the following extra lines:
update application, finished
-appling muti-csc...
installing muti-csc
Now, here are the things I've done that I think are related
OCLF
Root
So - How do I fix this? I've tried pushing a fresh firmware back onto the device via odin 1.7, and this fails:

I'm running on an x64 win7 box btw.
I've tried:
wipe data/factory reset from recovery, which takes me to the screen with the andy and an orange ! in a triangle, but nothing more
the same happens if i try any option from recovery, really.
I welcome any suggestions - I've found a few people having similar issues, but no real luck in trying their solutions.

Oh hang fire guys, 'Phone EFS clear' appears to have fixed it...it's reflashing now in any case..
edit: i take that back, its made no difference at all. Ideas?

Anyone? Please help

Don't panic! As I understand you did OCLF that converted Samsung proprietery RFS into ext4. This means that in order to reflash anything new you would need to convert it back. There is extensive material on how to revert it on XDA, for example in Samsung Vibrant development forum.
Look for it and revert. Then you can use Odin.

I did a similar thing the first time Kies offered me an update for my Samsung Galaxy S, I knew I was supposed to undo the OCLF first but in my haste to sample the new firmware I forgot.. Anyway, you won't be able to fix this with Kies as you'll need to do a full flash with re-partition via Odin. Good luck, I hope you get it working again!

Tried a full flash... now am stuck at the samsung logo...

Try to shut it down holding Power button. Then holding Volume-Up and Power try to boot it into recovery.
If you see text on the screen you can try to select to do full wipe following directions from the Tab screen, then reboot.
Another option is to flash Roto-JME with internal SD formatting. This operation is supposed to restore original RFS file system as well as firmware.
Since I never did this on a top of ext4 files system and I cannot say anything about the outcome.

Thanks will try that. Downloding Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip now

Look for the dbdata.tar file on this forum and run Odin again (2nd run)

Got it! It worked. Thanks Adapt0r! Thanks so much!

Heeelp....bricked sgs i9000

HEEEELP.. Was trying to flash to stock JVP through ODIN and i mistakenly remove my fone during flashing.
Now my fone does not even bootup anymore. It can only get to download mode.
I've tried to flash again but got no result. see ODIN message during flash below.

PLSS HELP.

This is not a brick. Have you tried to Re-open ODIN or to Restart the Computer?

i've tried both. it does not get pass the <ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

Restart computer.
Unplug phone.
Start odin.
Add files.
Connect phone.
Flash.
Be patient.

i've restarted the computer, unplug fone, start odin but it still stops at "<ID:0/005> SetupConnection.."

Also, take battery out of phone and wait for 20 seconds. then do as above.

Sometimes just waiting a while does it. Get a different version of odin maybe?

You loading up files into odin before or after you plug the phone in?
I know you are probably freaking out right now but if you can get download mode then it's still recoverable.

Try using Odin 3.1 & flash with that if problem persists.

When you plug the phone in, is windows registering it and if so, are the drivers working correctly?

1.85 should be good. Try 1.7 maybe.

Could always try using heimdall instead of odin

A valid point. Try Heimdall.

Have you removed sd- card and sim. Happened to me once. Removing both did the trick.

It's not a brick yet, dont worry.
1. Can you still go to the recovery mod? try to wip data/factory reset. reflash it.
2. If possible, do you have froyo 2.2 official (just as it's only one file in TAR)? Just flash it. Then flash 2.3.4 again.

Thanks all for your help.. I've tried all your suggestions but my phone won't actually boot to download mode anymore.
I've tried several times to go to download mode but to no avail. Screen is always blank (Black Screen) every time i tried.

Help!! s4-i GT-i9500 wont reboot...Black screen. :(

My S4 GT-i9500 went out of battery last night and now it wont boot. I'm on PA 4.4 beta 1.
Although I can enter download mode only when my phone is connected to the PC but odin is not recognizing it.
Also if I disconnect it from the computer, my phone goes blank again.

Try reinstalling samsung drivers or kies to get odin to recognize the phone,
if Odin works again then you can try and flash stock firmware for your device

possible fix is to disable personalized message
I had same problem since KitKat 4.4.2 ( FNB8).
I think I fixed it by disabling personalized message on lock screen
1. go to Setting/LockScreen/Lock screen widget
2. disable personalized message by selecting clock

It doesn't sound like a software problem.
My guess is either your battery (is the battery swollen?) or a hardware problem.

Why do you assume it's a software problem? If your battery ran out and now you can't boot, then the chances that it's a software problem is something like 0,1%.
Your battery is probably damaged, try a new battery.

Well I tried a different battery,but still I can't pass the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500" screen. It blinks once, stays for about 5-7 seconds and then the phone shuts off.
I also can't access the recovery.

Can someone send me the correct PIT files for GT-i9500 or the link plzzz now.
I managed to connect it with odin I believe my phone is soft bricked. So flashing stock firmware, but getting an error, no PIT partition found.

Guys I'm getting this error in odin

Alots reason if stuck like this and some solution is weird but works
Wrong firmware, download the right one.
Not pull out battery and reinsert before flash with odin(better takeout sim and SD card, yeah this weird)
Cable problem
PC port problem(changing to others port)
Using wrong version, odin(better using latest)
Odin problem/bug in PC(because old version alots problem, solution is to close odin and open again then flash ROM
Another way, just flash TWRP, backup important file using TWRP then flash custom ROM
Try it & Goodluck.

Tried with different usb cables & different usb ports but still no luck, read somewhere on xda that. The problem is with your device's hard drive which you may define as system storage . This is a very common issue with Samsung devices . Don't worry it's easy to fix . If you have warranty then go to Service center and if you don't have warranty then go to a service professional and ask him to replace your device's hard drive which contains ram and emcc in a single chip. If you face no base band issue then simply flash efs via odin that will resolve the imei issue

some times yes some times no, then I'd to take out the battery n reinsert to recognize by odin. Kies is not recognizing at all. Thanks for your prompt replies really appreciate it:fingers-crossed:

It's definitely a problem if the phone losses USB connectivity.
It's possible the usb port on the phone is defective?

There are 4 wires in a usb cable: 2 for data, 2 for power.
It's possible for a phone to charge and not transfer data.

Ok i'll recheck n confirm, btw alot of thanks for youe help:fingers-crossed::good:
how much is the possibility that my fone hard drive got corrupted as its not going into recovery. I'm in doubt bcz my fone had required factory reset for no reason about once in a month

Your phone does not have a hard drive .
But its possible that the memory has a corrupt section .
But your symptoms are more likely an app causing the problem .

Thanks to all for their help, problem solved as it was connectivity issue i have tried on another pc it worked like a charm. Cheers to all

G570F bricked. Only loads Download Mode but Odin stuck on Initiliazation! Please help

So, my Galaxy J5 Prime G570F switched off suddenly while I was using it. Since then, it only loads to Download Mode (Vol - + Power + Home) and shows Downloading, do not turn off target. I downloaded the stock rom files from xda and tried various versions of Odin with no success. Each time, Odin gets stuck on Initialization and my phone screen just shows the same Downloading. I noticed FRP and Secure Download are enabled. I have tried different USB ports and am using the original USB cable that came with it.
I even tried the old Odin 1.86 and here's the log from that:-

Its weird because you did not flashed anything to brick it, maybe something got corrupt and a factory reset could help.
