Galaxy Tab won't start properly - Galaxy Tab General

I installed this ROM from this forum "[ROM][DEVTEAM][GSM][20/10/11]GSM GalaxyTab Honeycomb team-- HoneyComb RC1 UPLOADED!!". I'm new on Galaxy Tab but I have anothers htc phones with androids. I had installed clockwork recovery on it and I did wipe all and I installed the zip rom.
First time it works, but it didn't show keyboard and I couldn't skip initial configuration. So, I tried to wipe all and install the zip again.
Now I can't power my tab. I pressed power button for minutes. I connect USB and it don't do anything. But if I connect USB I can wait for a time and it shows a big battery icon and if I press the volume down button(only) I can go to download mode and use ODIN(it takes some time to "power on").
I tried to install some firmwares that are on this forum but anything works. As a curiosity, Odin only takes 7 second to make the repartition and pit operation. And another 7 second to make the tar operation.
If I plug the USB and I don't touch anything. Tab powers on and shows logo "Samsung Galaxy Tab" and I can power it off perfect(the problem is power on again)
(I've searched a lot on forums, nothing works for me).

If you are willing to go back to gingerbread 2.3.5 you can try this build by przekret

(Warning: I have not been able to successfully root the 2.3.5 firmware - still looking for ways to root it).
or you can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Fus Check Downloader 2.1 and downloaded a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
1b. or download this 2.3.5 (unrooted and hard to root version from above link)
2.a. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and I got
tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab
and click start. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.
Can't guarentee if it would work, but good luck.

Bad times my friend.
Another solution would be to install the Overcome 4.0 rom - it may be enough to fix whatever has gone wrong.
Just search for it on Google - plenty of instructions on their website (odin install too).
If your Honeycomb experience has left a bad taste in your mouth you should look at @technomaner's CM7 port. Very good rom and actually useable as an everyday rom too.

Thanks for replies. I'll try your solutions soon and i'll post my results. (Now I have white screen when I connect my tab to usb, but I can go to download mode with patience).
The most extrange for me is that ODIN only takes 7 seconds in flash another firmwares. I'm sure that something is wrong.
PD: I had seen the post about hard brick or software brick. The hard brick solution I won't try it, but software solution I tried to download samfirmware but I only get a pit file. I didn't see a file with the tar archive.

Updating I9000

Hi All,
Just bought an I900 running 2.1-u1
Baseband I9000XXJPK
What's the best way to get 2.2/2.2.1 on this?
Bit confused by the galaxy, seems a bit more messy with topics etc compared to the Desire HD (Also have)
Thanks,
Luke.
Download and install Kies 2. Run and plug in phone. it will tell you if your phones region has an update. You should at least get 2.2 at a guess.
Nope, it says this device isn't upgradeable atm, or something similar, which I find odd. But it wont.
Looking at the O2 website (I assume that is who you are with) the shop states their version of the SGS has only got Android 2.1 so it looks like it has not been updated by them yet. The support section shows several makes but not Samsung. I suggest you contact their customer support for a clearer picture. There are ways of updating but they invalidate your warranty and guarantee. If the phone is under 7 days old you could always take it back (I would) and choose a different network. Also by Flashing other firmware onto the phone you would lose any O2 applications/settings and may possibly make it unusable if the flash goes wrong or if the phone does not have a recovery mode.
Not with 02 on this one. Phone is unlocked and a de branded variant. No carrier. Currently using Orange Sim.
Can you try typing *#1234# in the dialler and posting the result.
Pda: I9000xxjf3
phone: I9000xxjpk
csc: I9000oxajf3
Which version of Kies did you install? The one from the provided disc? If so, open up Kies and check for updates to the software. I hear Samsung is no longer rolling out updates through versions of Kies under v2.
Once you have Kies on v2, you should be able to get Froyo 2.2.1.
Here is the offical Kies 2.0 download link
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...KDXEU&prd_mdl_name=GT-I9000&srchword=Galaxy+S
Click on the firmware update tab and the download tab is in there.
I have the latest off the site. Not even used the disc.
This seems very odd!
EDIT: Just checked. Deffo over v2!
There are suggestions in another thread that Samsung may be getting ready to roll out a new upgrade. If this is correct then I suppose it is possible that 2.2 and 2.2.1 have been removed in readiness?
Try loading "Samsung firmware" from the Android market. Run it and see if that says there is an update available for you.
I do understand that you bought this device from a guy, that is because the old XXJF3 firmware do come with the XXJF3 modem not XXJPK which is much later modem. Kies will not update the device until the Phone/CSC/Modem do match, means XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJPK is seen as wrong by Kies, the right combination is XXJF3/OXAJF3/XXJF3.
You can only use Odin to make this right in one of three ways:
1: Flash the right Modem on your device to get the right combination and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
2: Flash the full XXJPM which is the 2.2 froyo and let Kies upgrade your device to XXJPY.
3: Flash XXJPY directly.
Ofcourse you can use CWM to flash a full ROM too but that will be too complicated for you at the moment.
Please explain the Clockwork Mod update.
And I should be ok. Fully customised a HTC Hero, T-Mobile G2, Orange San Francisco, T-Mobile Pulse and also my current Desire HD, so should be able to work it out ...
Thanks.
Also, any links to the right bit I need, can't find xxjf3 for the phone anywhere, I'll flash all 3 if I can find them, with the right .pit too ...
1: Root the phone if it's not rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2: Download/install busyox from market and run it, install in the device.
3: Download/install Rom Manager from market, install recovery 2.5.1.2
4: Download the deodexed XXJPY/OXAJPY/XXJPY firmware, extract and copy the extracted zip file to the internal SD-Card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790
5: Reboot to recovery from Roma Manager menu, choose "install/run update.zip", the device will reboot, choose "install/run update.zip" again and you will be in CWM, choose "install zip from SD-card", brows to it and install the ROM you have downloaded.
6: Reboot when done.

No pit is needed to flash using Odin, unless you need to re-partition.
To flash the Modem only using Odin:
Download this archive, double-click to extract, power down the phone, remove Sim and external SD-card if any: http://www.multiupload.com/8CWVVOSP9H
1: Don't start Odin yet, hold the Volume Down key and the Menu Key then press and hold the Power Key till you see a yellow triangle with the word "Downloading", connect to the PC and let the drivers be installed, disconnect when done.
2: Start Odin and load the MODEM_I9000XXJF3 tar file as Phone, no pit, no re-partition.
3: Do the same again as in point 2 to enter Download mode, if your device is still in Download mode then press and hold all the three keys until the screen flicker, and the phone re-enters Download mode, don't try to connect the phone before doing that, the device will not flash and you will get an error.!
4: When re-entered Download mode, connect the phone and hit start, the flash will take a few seconds, the phone will reboot and here you have flashed the modem only.
Good luck
Ramad, changing the modem did the trick. Just updating to JPY. See what that's like, then might give Darkys ROM a bash. Seems to be the best ROM available?
Bah trying to do this properly, the download through KEIS has failed twice and once timed out. I'll do this manually I think. Is JPY the best one? Or one of the 2011 releases?
Thanks.

The error with the emergency recovery is easy to bypass, when the ROM is downloaded and Kies shows that error, choose the emergency option that Kies offers, disconnect the phone and don't close Kies, re-enter Download mode on the device and connect to kies again, it will download the ROM again and flash the device.
Regarding costume ROMS, I don't use any so I don't know much about them, I suggest that you try the stock ROM before trying any costume ROM.
There's no emergency recovery ... It's literally KEIS trying to download the new updates from Samsungs servers. It's soooo slow and fails constantly.

With JPM, Kies wouldnt update to JP2.... So i took it to service center with JPM inside, asked them to flash JP2 and they did it....
Kies flashing failed
I was trying to upgrade using kies and the flashing stuck mid way and my phone wont boot now. I tried multiple times to flash using the firmware emergency recovery built in kies but it gets stuck at the same point always (39%).
Any one faced this problem? I am downloading odin files and will try. Let me know if I shouldnt try with odin and rather take the phone to the service center.
flashing with Idiot Kies is very problematic specially if you have win 7 on your pc....I just flashed with Odin...its the better way...
Thanks to all Friends who helped me

Problem when trying to root phone

Hi, I was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1298691.
I got as far as the Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery, when I got to step 8 'Click Start on the Heimdall Frontend. A blue transfer bar will appear on the phone showing the kernel being transferred. The device will reboot automatically.' BUT when the phone tried to reboot it gets stuck on the first Galaxy S screen. I could get in to download mode and recovery mode but nothing else. Does this mean my mobile is bricked? What do I do know?
Thanks in advance
You have flashed a rom, not only root your device. And cyanogenmod is not based on samsung firmware.
Think you shold read some more.
But, how long do you wait on the s logo? It thakes some time to boot up first time when catche is wiped.
If you only want to root you shold search for cf root for your stock rom. If you want to go back, you have to download a stock rom. Found att samfirmware.com

I have read many times that re-flashing will do the trick. If you have download mode, you can flash any rom onto it, i would use odin as it may be the safest whilst you being in limbo. Then if you want to follow a link for CM 7.1 that is both v.entertaining (my opinion) and clear i suggest you click on the link in my sig...
Robert - Sorry I did mean flash as well as root. I waited around 15-20 minutes, isnt that long enough?
Talon - I have tried to re-flash using the guide method I was originally using but get the same problem. To be honest from looking at Odin information on this forum, it has confused me quite a bit (lot of different advice), not sure if I am doing the right thing.
I did make the mistake of jumping into trying to flash & root my phone. Any help of what to do to get my phone to a working state, would be very much appreciated.
@OP: as long as you can put phone in Download mode - it is not bricked.
ALWAYS, you can restore everything by flashing stock ROM with repartition.
If you will not be able to go to download mode - well... then you have something to worry about

I'm a bit confused, what would be the best way to do that?
Well find stock FW from below, then flash it using the guides..
Generally now days you get 2 files, Pit either 512 513 or 813 (or something similar). And you get a .tar file or other zip type extension and put that in pda. Then flash
you may get 3 files and a pit file in which case you put it in the appropriate places....
Ive written this guide and telling you it is a GUIDE. Wherever you get your files from there should be instructions as to what to do.
For example you may need to do a factory reset before (unlikely but still) More likely is that you will have to disable lagfix, but you shoudnt have to worry about that. Main thing read the guide and follow the guide from where you get the files. The thread you get it from...read the first and last 5 pages, more if you want to be safe.
Now files, i have links to stock FW below, guide are usually present within them. If not read the thread, but also read the thread and search th thread for answers or the section or the SGS forum.
IF before you were on 2.2.x - try some Froyo from sammfirmware. If you were on Ginger - try Click
Of course, you can search for EAzyBase... but it is more advanced, start from the basics...
OMG, there are tons of tutorials and how to's in here about flashing and rooting phones... who uses heimdall? get Odin for flashing:
1. Install KIES for drivers (you might already have done this).
2. Get a rom from samfirmware/sammobile, I recommend JVP because it has gingerbread bootloaders: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares
3. Get Odin (sorry I coudn't find a link)
4. Get your phone in download mode (VolDown, Home, Power).
5. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable.
6. Set the PDA, CSC and MODEM files in Odin from the firmware you downloaded from step2.
7. Make sure you have "re-partition" enabled and set the .PIT file to use the *512.pit also included in the firmware from step 2.
8. click start.
9. Start your phone and set up the startup wizard.
9. For rooting, get the CF-root for your firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
10. Get your phone into download again.
11. DON'T check repartition in odin, only select the CF-Root file as PDA (you have to use the CF-Root-***.TAR, important to use .TAR and not .ZIP.
12. Flash again, now you are rooted!!

It is easy to find Product Code by dialing *#272*imei#*
IMEI number can be found via dialing *#06#
PDA/CSC/Phone info can be found by dialing *#1234# in dialer

A really good guide, just what I needed.
I would make an addition for regions or product codes that isn't available in this software, for example the nordic region with swedish product code.
To get the firmware thru check fus it is however possible to manually insert the codes needed.
To do this follow these steps:
1. start regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\
2. Start with finding the product code, to do this search for a line called ProductCode and in that line you'll find the product code, in my case it is GT-N7000ZBANEE
This code is what you write in Check Fus in the Product Code field.
3. Now to find the software codes, PDA/CSC/PHONE.
To do this search for a line called HIDSWVER
Here you'll find a long string of codes, In my case it shows up as
N7000XBKK4/N7000OXXKK5/N7000XXKK5/N7000XBKK4
The names in colour are the ones that we want, fill them in as written here.
Purple = PDA
Red = CSC
Green = Phone
Finally, press download and save.
When this continue from step 5.
(feel free to rewrite this text as my english isn't that good anymore)
And if included in the above guide, delete this post.

That was a bite easier yes
Thank you
But what about the file?
Is it going to be extracted aswell? Because I only have the same .zip file as before, no new .tar file
Or do I extract it from the .zip myself?
You can decrypt/extract yourself the .enc2 file to get .tar file

Yes itmay be single file after extraction, inthis case select just PDA
DONT SELECT RESET PARTITION

I did both reset and format partition from odin (desktop) worked flawlessly.
Why am I not supposed to do that?

Got the stock rom, worked without a problem.
But, there is always a but, When I flashed this stock rom with mobile Odin it seemed to work, but when done flashing and rebooting this message shows up "logo_q1.jpeg draw failed"
I have no idea why this happend.
The only thing I could do was to go into download mode.
Solved it however by flashing with odin on pc and it worked again.
That is really helpful. Thank you.
Is it possible to use a different region? I have a UAE version, but would like to use the Europe ROM.
Yes you can by using Odinv3 1.85, see the instruction in original thread for it. you can download firmware either using Fus downloader or from www.sammobile.com or www.tsar3000.com. If you do it using Fus downloader you will have 1 file to flash as PDA

You can actually do even more, you can switch the product code of your Note to make it look like a complete european version. What I did:
-Checked original product code which was KOR (*2767*4387264636#)
-Got AUT (Switzerland) XXKA rom off FusDownloader
-Flashed this rom and repartitioned phone with Odin
-Changed product code to AUT (*#272*[IMEI]#)
-Phone restarted, did complete wipe and applied AUT csc
-My phone now reads as AUT model
Thanks a lot for this guide!
I'm still new to flashing Samsung devices (last week I finally replaced my Milestone with a Note), so this is really helpful.
If I may ask a dumb question though:
Does flashing an official firmware this way revert the phone to stock completely?
I rooted my Note and installed CWM according to dr.ketan's simplified guide and flashed RiverSource's FM-Kernel using Mobile ODIN Pro to get rid of the power drain issue.
But I'm still unsure if I'm going to keep the phone (because its display issues among other things), so I might have to "clean up" the phone again.
Will this guide remove root, CWM and the modified kernel and is it save to return the phone after only following this guide?
Thanks a lot in advance!
i download the official rom that i want but i cannot fin the Q1_20110914_16GB.pit .where is???
It's attached in original post with Odin zip file

Yes it will take u to stock ROM and remove any custom roms plus root. In other word flashing stock roms brings phone back to original condition unless no triangle and Counter is there at start

[GUIDE] How to use Odin for GT-I9070

Odin is the saviour tool for all Samsung devices. The method for flashing by Odin differs from device to device.
This thread will give step by step instructions on how to flash a stock rom from Odin on the GT-I9070/p :
A. Download Odin tools from here : http://d-h.st/3zJ
Pass : shaaan
B. Download the stock rom from www.samfirmware.com
Setting up Odin :
1. Make sure you have installed the necessary drivers for this device. The drivers can be installed from within KIES or seperately. (I will upload the drivers shortly).
2. Run Odin as administrator.
3. Setting up the files is divided in two types depending on the firmware type :
a. If the firmware is a multi package file, put the files in the corresponding sections.
ie. CSC file in CSC section, PDA file in PDA section.
b. If the firmware is a single package, add the single file in the PDA section.
4. Now that Odin is setup, put the phone in download mode. To do that, power off the phone and press 'home+power+volume down' buttons together. Keep the buttons pressed till Download mide appears.
5. Now that Odin and the phone are setup, connect the phone to the device. Odin will detect the device and show something like 'com port (1)'
6. Flash the device.
7. The flash will take 5 minutes for a full flash on average.
8. When the flashing is complete, DO NOT remove the device until Odin shows ' PASS '.
9. The device will reboot. Remove the device, go to recovery mode and do a factory/data reset.
That's it. Happy flashing peeps..!!
Awesome guide mate - messing around with our device without Odin is risky !
This should be sticky. A lot of people is asking how to revert to original FW, or similiar questions that is connected to reverting. And it is almost at the end of forum, and thay cant see it.
I pmed the mods to do it. But they won't budge..
Please pm them..
Nice guide!!!
And adding images would be a nice option.
And plz add a point which tells which buttons to press like
"Re-Partition" ,"Auto Reboot","F.Reset Time" ,"Flash Lock"......

From what I was able to find in other guides it is ONLY 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' to be checked.
All others to be unchecked.
There are some posts not to bother with that .pit file that is inside Odin .zip file.
Odin package from sammobile got 2 .pit files for 8GB - GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G and GT-I9070_EUR_XX_8G_20111220_KL6 and one for 16GB
(at least paired with XEO region XXLD1) not only that one we got in link form 1st post.
I was also able to find some info that if you use .pit check also 'Re-Partition'.
Now I am curious about if It would be good idea for me to actually Re-Partition my phone - bought it used (not new) and my PC detects only 4GB of internal SD. Will it increase custom binary counter? (so far it is at 0 and I would rather keep it that way)
Is it going to fix that issue so I will be able to use all 8GB (minus system partition)?
If so how to use it and what .pit file to take?
.pit only, re-partition only and run it once, then single-package as PDA with reboot and F. Reset on another flash run?
Or maybe all at once?
BTW you guys ROCK.
Rooted SGS i9000 2 years ago with this forum and now I am very close to do it again with SGSA.

It is normal to have 4GB on internall SD. The rest of it goes to system partition, application partition and RAM I think...

googled a bit more and found it out too :crying:
BTW - both of those 8GB .pit files are identical (according to 'comp' tool in windows) so there is no reason to use re-partition - other than sth went totally wrong and you are trying to recover from brick or sth serious as this .pit file is already on your device.
Just flashed unbranded stock for XEO region - original one was branded.
NOTE to anyone who is still thinking about safety of this method:
After initial reboot - when it was reconfiguring in recovery mode - or however you will call it (just before odin should say 'pass' - still in that little font screen) windows started to reinstall usb drivers - odin log in bottom corner said 'disconnected' and even then my newly flashed ROM is working as it should. I would rather keep it connected till Odin confirms all went as intended but in case of similar issue - do not get heart attack
odin is used for flashing stock roms only???

nope it can also be used to flash custom Roms and kernels though flashing custom kernels via odin will increase your bin counter !
Hello guys...
How are you? I´m new on the i9070 threads!!! I´ve had others phones before, like SG2, xperia sola, live with walkman... so, i need the password to descompress odin... i search on thread but i don´t found it...
SORRY I found the password... shaaan
Of what I understand, can I test an unlimited number of stock firmware and the binary counter remain 0?
If I flash an unbranded firmware can I use SIM cards from other providers?
Now my phone is branded and I can not use SIM cards from other providers.
Thanks.

Hi, I want to flash Jelly Bean , do i need to use the pit file , or just select one package and then select the rom??
Edit : flashed
This version of Odin does not work when flashing JB to my device.
I successfully used Odin3v3.07 from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086965
Please update this guide. I spent quite a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong.
Thanks
