[q] download mode and recovery for the tab

Any suggestion on how to?
I'm on a jh8 and saw a couple of more recent build around.
No kies support for the tab so only way I think is the old sweet odin , but at the moment I still can't find a way to put the little (NO, NOT REALLY LITTLE) beast in download mode.
TIA
Ciao.

And how did you get your tab ? Mind sharing ?

The Tab has buttons no ? Volume rocker, home and power ? Maybe a few others ? Don't see why three-button combo would be totally out of the question, but if it'll have that feature we have to wait and see...
However, I second the general feeling of confusion. Do you have an actual Tab ? If so where are you seeing 'new builds' for it ?

Already posted before forum double crash
Yes I've got a developer TAB and yes is on froyo and my build is named jh8.
There are other builds around (downloadable tar ji3,4 and 5), I've downloaded a ji5 and want to try an upgrade.
The TAB has no hardware button except volume and power, home back search an menu are touch enabled buttons that when the tab is powered off are totally unpowered so the three button combo cant be executed.
So, long story short, I need to put the TAB on download mode to proceed to an upgrade via odin(my jhi firm release is a tar file)
Hope I clarified all.
TIA

1. You are a lucky man
2. How much free rem does it have for app's ?
3. Maybe there is some other hidden button (is there removable covers ?) / Have u tried holding power + vol up |or| power +vol down . . . . also try while plugged in ?
4. Are you rooted if so "reboot download" via adb will be your answer

3. no removable cover and no hidden buttons , already done the vol up or/and down + power and is a no go. I cant remember If I was connected while trying the combos so I'll give another try in a while and report back.
4. Rooted and now on download mode using adb(but I just noticed that while connected pressing power + vol down enter in download mode.! performing the update...is taking about triple galaxy s time to update via odin...cross my fingers...
update1: updated my tab now boot but with strange behaviours on the screen and after that remains black(on but black), redone the update checking in odin re-partition, no go.
now try another firmware...
no go with any firmware, no recovery mode(neither with adb) only download mode...help needed;(
(i think I'm not so lucky ...sometimes stupid)

Ohh Noes .... send it to me and ill fix lol J/K
Where did u get the F/W from ? did it include a .pit file ? and did u repartition if not u need a .pit for that device and reparttion. . . . Ill look for some fix for you

Thanks a lot for your help, I used a pit file included with the firmware(I think is a generic one .803 and causing problems) first time i tried the upgrade i forgot to check repartition, then tried again with repartition checked, no go. Now I cant put it in recovery mode, only download...Help from everyone is greatly apreciated
ps. (I' m receiving another TAB ... your help will be rewarded )

Where did u get the FW from ... PM me and ill see if we can get it running again :-D.
im got an idea about what is happaning but ill keep to myself untill i have more proof ... if im right there hasnt been any long term damage :-D

Agreed there is probably no real damage. If you can put it in download mode, you can save it.
At the very least you should be able to push the old firmware back on, taken from a second unit, but I don't really have the skills to do that kinda stuff.
GL on getting it working again.

Hi folks, still need your help to revive my TAB. Anyone can manage .pit files? I think the problem resides there...
I've got different firms but no luck, if someone found a .pit file for the tab write 2 lines to inform me.
TIA

Hi I have a dev Tab as well with 2.1 eclair on it. I anm trying to update it through kies and odin but no luck.
When the phone is in Download mode on odin it does not recognise the device. It says no device drivers found on wind7.
On Kies it doesn't connect at all and on the screen it says pc coneected.
Is their anyone out there that can help with drivers I think or another way to get the pc to recogniser it to update through lies or odin.
thanks

Regarding the USB device drivers for Windows 7 x64...just do an online search on your favorite search engine, you will find a few sources where to download them from (tip: whatever works for the Samsung Galaxy S works for the Tab)

I used to love your ROMs for my old Touch HD.. good to see you now have a Galaxy S!
Not so sure from your posts above what method you have tried. When are you trying to connect Odin? You need to be in Download Mode first, fire up Odin, then connect your phone...
Is this what you are doing?
Also, which version of Odin you using? In Win7 you may need to right click and run as administrator?

The best way is to look on the odin how to here in forum

Brother, use Odin3 v1.7 from my signature & see if it detects? A lot of guys have recovered their phones using 1.7. trust me.

pull the battery
wait a few seconds
put the battery back in
hold vol-down + power + home
You should get into download mode
connect the phone physically to the pc
flash a ROM or a kernel or whatever you desire
I wish you good luck^^

Close any kies process running in background and try again

The jig most likely wont work if the phone is completely dead, you could try a hairdryer it seems to work sometimes. Otherwise its back to samsung.

Maybe you've tried this already but I've had this problem after a bad flash and the phone wouldn't boot up anymore. I just remove the battery and all good again.

My phone does not turn on

Hello,
My phone does not turn on.After the boot screen as a continuous vibration.
I can not enter recovery mode
I can not enter downloading mode
In this case, what do you suggest?
Thank you for helps.

first of all try taking the battery out for a bit. then do the 3 button combo whilst putting the battery back in.
if that dont work you could make or buy a jig to force the phone into download mode 99% + success rate (money well spent)
or you could send it back to samsung to repair. But they may not fix or they may charge you if they find out the phone has been modified. i.e custom ROM, rooting, etc.

Its the new Samsung system to stop newbies crackin up their phones as they can no longer mess with things they have not bothered to understand .
Only solution is to read the FAQS above your post .
No download mode = recovery jig .

Been there, done that.. I don't think it has anything to do really with some mystical protection system (mind proving that claim JJegan)? I noticed it seems to happen when flashing a mod without the CSC/modem file when downgrading the unit, especially, in my case, when removing clock work mod (but never confirmed that).
Try:
1) Pulling battery from unit.
2) Remove USB cable
3) reinstall battery
4) TRy Download mode
5) If download mode is stuffed, try a jig I guess
6) Go to odin, repartition and flash a ROM with all modem/CSC/pda. An example of such a ROM is XXJPY
7) Good luck.....

if you are blackpool uk i can sort it out for you.

I think it 's time to do a propre install thanks to odin

+1 for Odin and a stock full ROM

[Solved Like 9 Months Ago, Staph!!]Stuck on galaxy y logo please help!

All you need to do is.. go to recovery and wipe data.. then reboot.. it will work
..
Also, remember.. whenever you flash stock via Odin.. do the above steps..
This thread serves the same purpose of this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600373

You have odin and the stock rom files too? If yes remove the battery and put it in again. Press and hold volume down button home button and lock button and you will be in download mode. Now just connect the phone start odin put the three files on it(pda,modem and csc) and flash and you are good to go

Maybe a conflict between Odin and Kies. Close all kies processes. And be sure that you are in download mode.

Bro heres what you need to d0... Download samsung device drivers from somewhere (galaxy fit files will do just fine... Btw make sure u got the latest odin for G y i use 1.85)

remove kies,
reinstall drivers,
try odin again

Uninstall kies
install it again
close kies running process
Pull the battery of phone out
Put it in
Press volume up power and home button
you will see a screen saying "a custom os can harm your device"
when this screen comes up press volume up key
you will see another screen "ODIN mode " then connect your phone
you will see a yellow box in odin
select the three files correctly
press start
wait till Pass is written

It isn't always necessary to uninstall kies. Reinstalling the drivers only will do.
You should not have any problem if your able to access the "download" or "odin" mode (volume down+home+lock screen). Try to youtube flashing via odin if you are having a hard time with all of this. I believe that visual aids would become very helpful.
Btw. What did you do your phone?
Sent from my GT-S5360 via freenet

Surely, its the drivers.
1 Uninstall KIES
2 Install Drivers ( You can even use Windows Update)
3 Try flashing

How old is your pc maybe its problem with pc... like mine for example its like 7 yrs old already and all usb ports at back are not working except for the two in front but my pc cant detect my phone in download mode, had to use my grandparents laptop just to flash using odin...... but funny thing is i can use adb just fine except for a few times where it cant detect my phone too... same for using mass storage

Help
i don't know what is Odin mod eand how to go into it. My phone is stuck on the logo screen when installing ChobitsDigitalis V2. And I also don't know what is flashing stock kernels because a friend of mine help me installed the rom and the result was the logo screen stuck there for an hour. I really don't know what to do cause I am new to this. I tried wiping cache and factory reset but also doesn't works, and i really want to make the installation of my InfectedBlazing rom perfectly. :crying::crying::crying: Please also point me in the correct direction. Thank you very much for the people who replies. I will thank you a lot.

Follow the odin flash guide described in this thread:

if you have a 2nd partition on your SD card, try to wipe the 2nd partition with mini tool partition.
