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.

Unlocked bootloader logo removed in JB

I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE CAUSED BY THE INFORMATION POSTED HERE. THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL.
First of all , i know there is a thread about removing the Unlocked bootloader logo. This thread is started just to present some information based on my personal experience.
I owe a Motorola Razr I with unlocked bootloader :laugh:.......
A couple of weeks ago i decided to come back to ICS from the JB fastboot i was using(orange UK). Instead of using fastboot files made by mattlgroff I decided to fully flash the original ICS firmware for my phone using RSDlite. After the firmware was flashed i pushed the signed logo to the device.Of course the phone didn't finish booting and got stuck in bootloop. My phone became then a brick with a black screen and green led and i had to use the files from here to unbrick my phone. Big thanks to U1138 for finding the solution for unbricking.
When my phone phone finally booted i was so excited i didn't realize the ugly Bootloader unlocked logo is gone. I realized that yesterday while restarting the device and thought it's good to share it with everyone else and maybe will find a way for everyone to get rid of the ugly message on the boot screen.

So you suggest going back to ICS, bricking your device, unbricking it and flashing JB again in order to get rid of the bootloader logo?

Yes mate. I have like this for more than 1 week and i do reboot my device quite often due to poor network signal at my work.
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium

here's a short video to proof the unlocked bootloader message is gone

I am not a hundred perent sure of that, but I think this worked on your device because you unlocked your bootloader while on ICS then, upgraded to JB using matt's fastboot.
For someone who upgraded to JB using the OTA and only then unlocked their bootloader, this won't work because the motoboot file version is already the highest (homemade fastboot does not flash motoboot, that's why you were able to flash after a downgrade)

It maybe be possible. I did unlock bootloader while on ICS

Anyone can confirm that intentionally bricking the phone by downgrading to ICS and reviving it deletes the unlocked sign?

Don't work with me

my logo returned to normal after restoring Pi-llama rom through cwm.

Could you be a bit more precise?
What do you mean with normal, no unlocked bootloader message left?
And what do you mean with restored?
Thanks!

Yes, its for unlocking the bootloaders for the Snapdragon Motorolas (Atrix HD, RAZR HD and RAZR M) but after unlocking their bootloaders the same message appears (the same that we have), @tucstwo has provided a file to remove the unlocked message for these phones, I don't know if that zip could be compatible with the RAZR i, but giving the fact that the zip file removes the unlocked message for these phones ALREADY RUNNING JELLY BEAN, maybe someone can give a try and see what happens...
Link of the zip file is on the 2nd post.

don't work...

LOL try some king of custom upgrade we known that we have some chance of brick our phone and we get this risk like a bet with more chance to win, but intencionally brick the phone that cost here in brazil more than $500 we have to be a great crazy.

Does this also work on ICS?

Accidentally flashed wrong firmware!!

Hi everyone, I am confused as to what to do with my moto g4 plus. Actually motorola had released an update which lowered my notification and ringtone volume. Sometimes it wasn't even audible, so I decided to restore the stock rom. I downloaded xt-1643 firmware since that is my model number. After flashing that firmware I suddenly couldn't access recovery mode. My phone did boot up but it was stuck on the searching Wi-Fi screen and I couldn't even skip it. What should I do? Pls someone give me a potential solution asap. Thank you!!

Do you have to unlock your bootloader to flash this? I'd like to take a more permanent approach to remove the amazon ads and bloatware besides the amazon-remover.apk but don't want to void the warranty just yet.

It will appear, but you can then flash the logo from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/themes/boot-logo-stock-disable-bootloader-t3492336

Somewhat related: My attempts to relock the bootloader on the XT1607 have not been successful after many hours of flashing the stock rom. I do not know if simply that model cannot be relocked or if the XT1607 rom files have a problem (checksums are vaild to the flashfile though).
