WILL PAY $30 to anyone that fixes my Verizon Galaxy Tab!!!

I recently purchased an off contract Verizon Tab from a friend.
I had successfully rooted it using the superoneclick.exe file.
I since decided to flash Overcome_v1.2.1 with Odin using the exact steps as listed & even watched the video 2x.
"Click start and wait for PASS! to show highlighted green on Odin.
9. Your Galaxy Tab will Reboot, and get stuck on the Samsung Boot Screen. This is fine.
10. Turn your Galaxy Tab off by holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
11. Turn your Galaxy Tab on into RECOVERY mode (Press Volume UP and Power On at the same time).
12. The Galaxy Tab will now perform the EXT4 conversion.
13. Sit tight, depending on how much data you have, this can take quite a long time.
14. Once finished, click reboot system now (by pressing the power button)."
Now...I don't know what "quite a long time" is but after 30mins, there was still nothing but a blank sceen w the tell tale sign of a light, thin, margin type as seen on the video.
I then followed these steps:
"IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure
1.Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
2.Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
3.Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
4.Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
5.Check repartition box
6.Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
7.After this, the Tab will reboot normally. Shut it down and return to download mode.
8.Open Odin 1.7 and reconnect the Tab.
9.In the PDA slot, choose the Overcome Kernel v2.0 tar file for use with Odin. Press start
10.It will flash the kernel then reboot. Upon reboot, you should hear the sexy robot voices informing you of the status of the EXT4 conversion.
11.Once done, the Tab will boot normally. At this point you can load Overcome v1.2.2 rom (or any other Rom of your choosing)
12.NOTE - Overcome 1.2.2 includes v2.0 of the kernel, so no reflashing is required after install."
I never got past the part in step 10 to hear any responses. And instead of searching for one of Rotohammers FIRMWARES as suggested, I input a kernel from Voodoo!
Now I can STIL get into DL mode but whenever I try a normal reboot or recovery, it runs through -Wiping DATA- Formatting DATA---DATA: Wipe failed!
over and over until the Tab reboots and when the samsung splash screen somes up, there is a weird "flashing" of the screen in multiple colors.
PLEASE...for God's sake...with all the great inds on here, someone help me!
Please email me @ [email protected] or call/txt me on my GV # 401-213-9555 I will PayPal or Wire someone a "service charge" for their assistance!
Thank you & I hope i did not break any rules on here by asking.

You need to find a stock Verizon firmware and flash through Odin
I just did a brief search and found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855415
But I'd ultimately recommend flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941749
And you may need to flash this to get to a stage where you have a working recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941781
Hope this helps

Thank you very much! I will attempt that. I seem to be stuck in DL mode though.
I was downloading in Odin and the Tab has been stuck at 95% for the past 30mins.
Should I power off or is it a sure fire way to brick it?

Assuming there are no bootloaders being flashed you can't really make it un-recoverable. What exactly were you flashing?

LOL...Get this working for me! My patience is wearing thin now..lol.
But if the advice from The Freak, he earned it

Any idea why it keeps getting hung up right about 99%?

hi
hi friend
i had simmilar problems in past.
Maybe you have problems with the usb ports of your machine.
If you have amd/sis/via for usb chipset at your computer try to do the procedure with another machine with intel chipset.
I hope this helps you

Galaxy TAb 7.7 brick, please helpppppp

Hi,
My SGT 7.7 seems brick after I took it out of my bag. It gets stuck and stays on the boot screen where says "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" for a few seconds, and then just keep rebooting.
It is able to go into the Download Mode when I press "Power+Vol-", but no response when I press "Power+Vol+". I tried to flash all kinds of firmware with Odin, but nothing work.
I also tried to flash it with .pit, PDA, PHONE and CSC. I got this screen and then stopped and Odin says "Now Writing, Please wait about 2 minutes."
I appreciate your help!

you are writing that you already tried it with .pit, pda, phone, csc ..... and on 2nd post you requesting a .pit file

Hiii
But don't work
please help me..............

I think you'll need to take it to the Samsung service center, where they'll need to load your original stock firmware, pitfile, bootloader. If I remember right they ticked the partition box too.

Try allowing the battery to go flat and see if that gets you out of the loop. You may need to do a factory reset if you manage to re-boot normally.

Tab 2 Cyanogen MOD 9 Problems.

Hello XDA.
First of all: Yes, This is my first post.
Second of all: Yes, I did Google this problem and havent found anything that works.
I installed Cyanogen Mod 9 on my Galaxy Tab2. After it had been installed i Rebooted it. It starts and shows the "Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" Screen and The Cyanogen Robot shows up. After that nothing happens. When i try to turn it off, it just reboots and the same thing happends. I cant enter Recovery mode or Download mode, And the only way to turn it off is by letting the Power Run out. I have no idea on how to fix this, So you might help. What i want to do:
1. Return to stock ROM
2. Be happy that i didnt brick my Tab 2.
3.???????
4.Profit.

Well first she started the tab, whitout knowing what Cyanogen was. So she yelled at me "JOOOOHAAAN WHEN I START THE TAB THERE'S A EVIL ROBOT THERE!!!" I replied "Yes, its a evil robot."
Then I want upstairs to google some more about this. 5 minutes later she says "JOOOOHAAAAN THERES A GOOD ROBOT HERE!!!", So I ran downstairs and she had pressed all the buttons in a strange way so she had entered Clockwork mod . Then I just wiped everything and restored from backup.
Its a good robot, for sure.

You should try to odin back to stock and then try it again in a different port. That screen means your in download mode so you can still use Odin.

Are you running Odin in administration mode? I also plug the phone into the pc after I go into download mode and Odin is already running.

Happened to me, too, last night. I almost lost it, I'd just received my replacement after busting the digitizer on my 1st s4. Anyway, good bit of info, in case if ever happened again. BTW: I got thru it popping the battery a couple of times, & attempting to startup normally/recovery/dwnld alternately, finally worked in download mode. What a relief. Also, it happened for me when I was trying to install TWRP.

same problem

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
Looks like TWRP was installed to the boot partition. If you go to the reboot menu and select recovery, does it reboot to stock recovery (usually the Android logo laying down with the front panel open)? What happens if you select Reboot > System? Does it boot normally, or just go back into TWRP?
At any rate, I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:
