Ok, so I updated from stock, using official update phone rebooted and stayed at samsung screen forever it kept blinking and vibrating. Pulled battery, tried restarting it goes samsung loading bar -> VM welcome -> flashing/vibrating samsung screen.....I can get into recovery AND download mode. Tried clearing cache, factory reset, and updating again, but still gets stuck at samsung screen. I am desperate guys I really need help, I am going on a LONG road trip this weekend and need my phone so ANY help would really be appreciated. THANKS!
When u say update do u mean u went from ex. 2.1 to 2.2.... android that is? U should elaborate a hit more, if what I mentioned is the case then revert back to the ROM prior to the update. If u give more info I may be able to help from my personal experiences

Yes used official update went from 2.1 (stock) to 2.2 as the update finished, it got stuck in a sort of boot cycle, stuck at a samsung screen keeps flashing samsung logo, and vibrating. wont fully boot
OK, I saw on my facebook page samsung intercept page. Mediafire link to download update.zip file,has anyone tried this. Will this work,if it bricks my phone i will be pissed...
There's always the chance that a phone can get bricked, no mater what ...even from an 'official' update from your service provider. With that said, however, I've downloaded the Virgin Mobile 2.2 Froyo update file that's floating around and it installed no problem on my phone.
For the first poster ....I believe that the stock recovery is necessary for the VM 2.2 update to work. I won't swear on that though.
Here's what I did. Downloaded the 2.2 VM Froyo update to my laptop. Renamed it 'update.zip'. Copied it to the root of my sdcard on my Intercept via bluetooth. Booted into recovery mode and applied the update. Twiddled my thumbs while it updated itself from recovery and then rebooted....and the reboot takes a while, maybe 5 minutes. Presto ...2.2 Froyo.

I think that you didn't wait long enough...as the reboot takes a looooong time, maybe 5 minutes or more at least. Patience is a virtue.
Okay guys,im new here. I installed VM Froyo 2.2 update.zip,it seems to work fine. A bit slow but its still booting up. I installed stock rom,stock kernal, and update.zip,in that order. And backup works too,wiped dalvik cashe to. I like this forum its more informative,will let yall know more later. Thanks.

You're making this way to convoluted. All that one needs to do when updating from stock 2.1 on the VM Intercept is to download the (official unofficial) update file, rename it to 'update.zip' on the root of the sdcard, boot into recovery, and apply the update. That's it. It installs Froyo and the new radio, etc, itself...all from the update.zip. No need to mess with kernels and recovery or wipe anything ....except one's own azz if they go take a chit while waiting for it to reboot. In fact, when I updated it even kept all of my 2.1 widgets and icons and imported them into Froyo ...I didn't need to do a thing.
Oh, I see ....you had to convert your Intercept back to 'stock' first. Nevermind...
Yes, i did i downloaded stock rom,stock kernal and stock recovery all .zip. Put stock.zips in sdx/zip folder and update.zip 2.2 in root on sdcard. Installed all three wiped dalvik cashe rebooted each time in custom recvery. When i got to stk rec. rebooted to stock rec. Ran update.zip 2.2 may take a while but it booted no problems.
Can u get the phone into download more with any button sequences, YouTube it if u don't know what i mean(mobiletechvideos) then y will need to use odin to use tp download an official Samsung Rom.... PM if u need help

Rename the file Update.Zip, put the file on the root folder of your SDcard. Power on the tablet with the volume down button held

thanks this worked like a charm. Gotta love the XDA community.
A strange thing happened to me, i was working with the tab, and layed it
aside for a while, suddenly it shutted down, and rebooted.
(Not sure where i went wrong, or why this happened,cant remember doin anything out of the ordinairy)
Then i got stuck in this bootloop.
Tried to update, wich goes okee i guess, but after the reboot, i got stuck in a
different boot loop.
Im sure i didnt mess with the standard files that came with the device,
however i have another bootanimation, than stock, could this be causing the "second"
bootloop?
Kinda out of options now, hope you guys can shed more light to this, but i think
i have to return it to Acer for repairs.
Btw: great device anyway!
Just want to let you know that was not the correct update.zip for our Country you make consider going back to the USA rom. Or you will not receive the Correct Updates. If any at all. These are the files and instructions you will need to get back to stock and be able to receive all updates.

Okay so this is what i did as directed by the guys above.
1. Download this file. have to warn you though this service is horribly slow http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...ww.filesonic.com/file/958397...pdate.zip.html
2. Put your external SD card into your computer, and copy over the file to the root of the card.
3. Rename the file update.zip(make sure it isn't named update.zip.zip)
4. Put the SD card back it the tab.
5. Make sure your tab is completely shut down.
6. Hold down the volume down button and press the power button.( dont let go of the volume down button till the screen turns on)
7. The recovery will boot and the update should hopefully restore your tab.
8.(optional but recommended) follow these steps in order to revert back to the latest OTA american version so that your able to upgrade to 3.1 when it comes out.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101859
Hope this helps.
Thanks for quick reply, i did exactly those steps before, and it seems that the
update goes well, then after the update, the tablet reboots loads up a bit, and then
again runs into a bootloop.
That is what is different in comparison with the un brick methods come-out, i read all over this forum.
So im a little affraid something different is goin on, with or in my tablet after the update completes.
It just never really recovers from the boot loop with or without the update.
sadly.

Well sorry that didn't work, i am not to experienced with development for this tab, so im fresh out of ideas. It might help to start a new thread explaining that you tried to un-brick your tab via this method and that a boot loop still occurs. Maybe some super smart devs can help you.

yeah i did that right after i un-bricked it, but thanks for the heads up anyways.
For anyone else who has bootloop problems and finds his/her way to this thread, there is another option. Plug in a USB keyboard, then boot up the tab by holding the power button and volume down (the side closest to the power button) at the same time until text starts appearing in the upper left corner of the screen. Hit the home button on the keyboard, and boom! You are in a recovery screen. Use the keyboard to select factory reset, and your tab is back to the original state. You will lose root and all of your info, but you have your tab working again. There really should be a way to do this without adding a keyboard, but it works fine.

Hello,
my A500 is now in unstable, weird state, i tried to flash ROM update, but i forgot an old update.zip on SD and also that i have no CWM more. My fault of course.
It started to flash again, suddenly stopped. Now if i reboot, i am on my old ROM, but only Power off .. shutting down message appears. I can touch time, settings, but unable anything to do. Message is still there. I tried to press RESET button, no way. I tried to flash it again with rescue Update.zip no way. Just message still there.
Looks like, it wants to shut down, but this never happens from some reason. But why it is again after reboot there, i don't know.
Any advice please ?
Thanks, Ed

Try flashing cwm mod using Acer recovery and quickboot to reboot into recovery. If that fails install itsmagic via fastboot or cwm mod 1.3.4 via manual method posted. Don't despair mate you be fine.

I had exactly this problem myself a few days ago...cwm was corrupted and the fix was to download official rom which was chinese and put it onto my external sd card. Then pressing power/volume up forced the update which also reset the cwm and boot sector back to stock. After this I used the official 3.1 rom on this website to update with english version and market app then finally install cwm to use roms.whew it was painful and i cannotremember where i got the chinese rom from...so im only slightly helpful.

There are many stock ROM links on this forum, I don't think he'll have a tough time finding one.
Thanks for sharing your fix for what appears to be the same situation.
Update
I am not able to put there any ROM, my last hope is that chinese, do you have some link on Multiupload (other site are blocked here).
Funny is, that i see lock screen, proper internet connection, mail marks, proper time and Charging still on 15% forever

I have a pro rooted, running gingerbread, flashed cm7 902 build.
it works great, having nothing to compare it too as this is my first custom rom flash (long story if you would like to hear it to learn from my mistakes just ask), one minor issue i have seen is if you choose to let battery die till it suts down when you power back up you will not have data. Easy fix is just restoring to stock rooted and re flashing 902 and voila data is back, and oh yeah dont let battery die completely

I had the same issue with a bootloop, just in a different situation. Go to recovery (Take out battery, hold Power+R+M, wait for the green Android and the ! in a triangle, then let go, then press both volume keys at once(Gingerbread) or the @ key(Froyo), use volume buttons to scroll up and down) and wipe the phone. It should say something like wipe, factory reset, restore, you get the point. Wait for it to finist, then reboot. If it shows an error, dont mind that. Mine did too but its fine.
Hey guys,
this is my first post and my problem is as follows:
I had ICS 4.0.x on my galaxy tab 10,1 P7500, I then installed CWM 5.5.0.4. but had a rolling window. I then continued to install a bootloader (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41) with the appropriate bootloader for the p4. This fixed the rolling recovery and allowed me to install CM10 using CWM.
But my current problem is when the device goes on sleep mode and I wake the device up the screen is scrambled, can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you in advance
The only fix i found is for HC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738
Edit:
I fixed the rolling screen issue after screen unlock with pershoot's help, thanks again pershoot!
Maybe it will also work for you , here we go:
If you have installed the latest cm10 build, there is only one issue for the p4wifi , you must be on the US ICS Bootloader .
So download the recovery.tar.md5 from here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/recovery.tar.md5
Than go into download mode and flash this recovery using ODIN, (select pda and look for this file where you safed it, than click start)
Than, download the right US ICS Bootloader here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip
Flash this also via ODIN in the PDA section, this may take a little longer, don't panic...
After that, the tablet will reboot and it should work... don't blame me if it didn't, but i had this rolling screen on almost every rom, and everything is fixed now...
I wish you good luck because i know it IS very annoying..
Thanks for the reply DefQon, I agree I think this is most annoying errors I have ever gotten.
I also searched high and low and could only find the fix for HC.

Please help - When turning off the Screen Android 4.1.1 will not come back on
I have the following problem.
When I install one of the latest rom e.g.
[ROM] [JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW]
4.1.2 AOKP for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
or
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview
then I have this problem:
When I turn off with the "Power"-Hardbutton, then it turns off, but it does not turn back on. The screen stays black.
With the Rom ...
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview "cm-10-20120814-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip" from August everything works fine.
Since I had this flickering problem I flashed the bootloader before I installed all these Roms.
But one works and all new ones don't.
Anyone has a idea what to do?
thx

I have tested the fix for weeks now and it worked great.
Except, this afternoon my tablet randomly restarted and now won't go past CM 10 boot screen.
Any idea whether reflashing the ROM without wyping, purely just installing (as is) CM10 M2 from CWM? Or any other ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and the dalvik cache. I then tried doing a factory reset but it doesn't seem to proress. I thought if I can do a factory reset then reinstall the ROM I might get it to work but I can't install the ROM as it says "Error (Status 7)?
I have tried formatting the /data in attempt to get the factory reset to work but this also freezes.
Currently, my tablet is in an infinite loop cycle and I cannot change the ROM or do a factory reset.
Thanks, you guys have really been helpful!

After hours of trying I have found a solution.
I previously had done backups. I tried each one until one started restoring. It completed quite a lot till it froze and I restarted into recovery.
I did a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and could then complete a factory reset.
It has now booted completely into ICS where I can now flash CM10 again.
The tablet works normally as you would expect on ICS. I booted into recovery and tried to flash CM10 M2 for the GT-P7500 but I still get a error, status 7.
Anyone experienced this?

Status 7 usually indicates the wrong update file, are you sure you are flashing the right ROM for the 7500?
Perhaps try to flash the recovery and bootloader first and then the right ROM and see what happens?

The thing is it is the exact same file I used to flash the previous time.. I first updated my recovery and bootloader before flashing and still get the error. Thanx for the thought though.
