I think I briked the Galaxy tab 2

I was trying to root the device so i can get it updated from 2.2
I used Odin and tried recovery.tar file and now I'm getting a screen with a phone icon with a caution icon in the middle and a computer icon after it.
So I think I really messed it up
Any help
the thing is Odin is still connected
and no matter how much i try restarting whether in download mode or regularly same thing is still happening.
So if I can get some help would really appreciate it. I hope it can be restored

Does Odin still see the device? If it does, try to install the stock firmware. It may take some time to find it on the net. The first place I would try is here http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and scroll down the page, put in your info in the drop down boxes and submit.

Thanks, Odin is still recognizing it
the original firmware was the ATT one
this Tab 2 has the 3G version
when I checked there I didn't see any one that was similar

It is a soft brick and is recoverable. Go to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752 and read all the stickies in the general and dev sections. Apparently, you will not find an at&t rom per se, but can flash a new rom and pit, there are some very good detailed instructions available, but first read, and read some more, and some more after that. Apparently, your type of tab had signed bootloader issues, so be careful which rom you load. Also, as I have suggested with my links, go to the correct forum. I'm pretty sure you have a sgh i987, (based on the fact you were running 2.2 on at&t), and not a tab2.

Previous link was to the wiki, this one is to the forum. Many links will be dead and you will have to likely download the euro rom from sammobile. There is also a sticky for radio issues.

Thanks appreciate all the help AMD o just realise I said this forum instead of this link that you had pointed to earlier. So again thank you. I will read through it while on break and again at lunch and try and make sure I do it right. Most the rims I see at sammobile are 4.04 or above those should he ok right?
Again thanks and will let you know. Cause I got this yesterday for my wife. So.....

Can you assist in where i can find the original ROM?
thanks

I've let the battery run down, well I think that's what happen anyway cause it's not coming on. I have it plugged into the wall but it still not coming on. But will give it a while and see.

The tablet came back on with the same screen from earlier. but now I'm looking at it it's gone off,
it feels warm but maybe it's me.
I don't know
I'm beginning to wonder about ordering a new one lol

What is the serial number? The rom has to match the model, you cannot just use any samsung rom.

serial number R2YB51005k
model is SGH-i987
thanks it stopped coming on I realise I would plug it in it will come on then go back off not sure after how long it goes back off I know I had ti plugged in both via wall and computer.
via computer the computer did pic it up cause it showed drivers being loaded
Now no matter what I'm doing I get a black screen
G

Ok got it on charging same screen as I told you about before that I attached earlier
I've looked for the ROM suggest Euro but no luck, the links were dead
And while typing those last few words it gone back off, so i'm guessing it can only be on for say 30 mins.
If I can get the ROM and install it via Odin then I can possibly get it restarted
Thanks

Ok, as I suspectef, you have the galaxy tab, not the tab 2, hence this is the wrong forum. Go to the forum I linked to, there are some stickies about rooting, recovery soft brick, etc. My understanding is that overcome rom or p1000 should work, but you must follow whatever odin procedures, etc. they use. Chainfire has a great post up about recovering, however the file links no longer work. Go there and ask if someone has the file(s) you need. This guy lists the files he used from sammobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996970 You will not find the files in this forum, this is the wrong forum for your device, this is for tab 2 models 31xx and 51xx, yours is a p1000 branded.

[Q] Hi. Will this flashing work? Dont wanna brick my phone..

Will this one work? Got an brand new phone..

I rooted yesterday
Was really easy. Im just a little bit carefull when it comes to rooting a new phone. Soo i always check here before i root stuff.. Mostly phones.
Just dont know how i can install clockwork mod recovery. Its not supported with my phone yet...
And i have bought the app long ago. Ill have to wait. Its very easy and smooth to flash custom room with that app. You dont even need a computer for it.
Anyways. Thanks. I got root now.

..
*bump*
Will the first link in this old thread still work?

My phone was perfect before. Broke, repaired, and i need CM, and all.
Thinkning about flashing a recovery and go from there. Just reading a bit now.
But, if this still works, then it would be nice.
But now im running.

Thanks

I have stock i-497 4.1.2 MF2 Odin File

I snagged this during my kies update in case anyone needs it. Never could find it out on the net floating around anywhere, so I figured I better get a copy of it before it deletes itself after the update. File name is I497UCBMF2_I497ATTBMF2_I497UCBMF2_HOME.tar.md5

Been trying to get file uploaded to megashare, but it keeps hanging up. I am at work, so, I'm gonna wait until 4-5 p.m. and restart it. Maybe a night time upload will go since everyone goes home then. I hope someone can use it. I searched high and low looking for it online, but never found it. So, I did my research about where it stores the file for a kies update and was ready for it once it downloaded. I really hope it can be useful to someone. I just can't believe this isn't already floating around anywhere on the net.

File transfer stopped at 55% last night. FTP'ing the file now. FTP supports resume so it can't fail now.
Just realized they have a 550 MB download restriction on free accounts. It looks like you can enter a passport code for free that will give you 2Gig though. Just click on download and it will prompt you to enter a code. Arg! Will try a diff service.

Used a leech site to pull it off. Thanks.

Cool. Glad it helped somone.

Do you know of any roms for this tab? Besides stock? I have one also, and it frustrates me that there is nothing out there for us.

Not that I have seen.

I'd give up my left and or not excluding my right nut or nuts for some SGH-I497 development. Just my luck to have my wife gift me a tab with no aosp support. one of these days im gonna look into porting a rom on this if I ever ge the time. msm9860 has alot of development and I here the sgs tab 7" and one of the sgs3 variants is the same just diff screen and digitizer. Man I really dislike touchwiz.... I gues if it was sense id hang myself.

I think we have a better chance of waiting on an official update than anything else at this point in time. I'd love to run AOSP/CM on this tablet though.

is there another location for this file, seems like i have to wait about 100 hours or so, crazy. for what ever reason my i497 will not update or odin any other i497 firmwares, i497vlamj2 failed at sbl1.not sure if this will work to

I can't thank you enough for sharing. Wiped and attempted to install a ROM using TWRP and it failed. Seriously thought I was screwed. Thank you again.

[Q] cant unbirck help please

so my friend download an app and didn't read anything about it before he installed the app. The app was suppose to replace the home launcher but he was suppose to install another app before he installed it but he didn't. I have tried Odin, Kies, and Heimdall with no luck. I have tried them on different computers and with different cables. His phone is a SGH-I337, yes it is rooted but only for one app that was installed that doesn't affect anything. But now it only go to the download screen with the android man even when booted up normally it only fails the [auth] on Odin and it wouldn't even connect to Kies. Any help would be GREAT, he is only giving me 2 day to try and fix it for him then he is going to buy a new phone. Thanks in advance EVEN IF ITS JUST GUESS I'll still give it a try.

What app did you try to install and what firmware are you on. Odin should work if you use the right firmware.

If the phone is running either the MK2 or MF3 baseband then my thread here may be able to help you. Check ted77usa's post (the last reply on the first page) for how I fixed my phone.

HELP building 1st Rom

Hello everyone, I first want to say thanks and sorry if I posted this in the incorrect section or if it's been discussed before. I want to learn how to make my own custom Rom for my Verizon Samsung Galaxy s7 edge snapdragon ( G935vvrs2apf2). I already have Tickle my android on my windows 10 laptop. If anyone could be nice enough to tell me how to get a stock rom (G935vvrs2apf2) so I can deoxde it and how to you extract it to star modification. Also what else do I need like software, tools, and a guide or how to would be nice. Also since my bootloader is locked how can I back up my rom so I can reflash it incase I mess something up. Thanks to all. I know it's not going to be easy but I rather try and fail than fail because I didn't try at all.

@orgulloso4202, FYI unless you are actively developing a ROM, kernel or recovery, you should not be posting in the development section. Please note the rules for posting in the development section stickied there. I've moved this to the Help section.
Cheers!

This is the best and advice I can give you. 1st you will need a linux machine with a build environment set up and SuperR's Kitchen. 2nd go to this section for any questions and info, there are quite a few helpful people there. I built a few ROMs but it's been a while and I'm not too good at giving directions. I only had partial success with the S7 and pretty much gave up. So there you have it go to the links, read and ask in there. It's your beset bet. I have firmware here you can download and build from. Good luck and have fun.
