density changer tool killed my samsung pad p1000 (solved)

after rooting my p1000, i`ve testet some tools.
for test reasons i`ve set density changer to 200 dpi and in the options i`ve used the reboot store funktion.
now the phone boot up sequenz stops after bootanimation.
sequenzes of vibrations are looping continously.
screen is blank. (no connect to kies possible)
(vol up+pow) factory reset and cache wipe will bring no effekt. (sometimes the recoverytool crashes and reboot, before the wipe is done)
download mode booting (vol down+power) will bring the 'hard working android' logo, but it will
not really connect to kies 1.5.3.(firmware flash mode in kies is not responding to usb drivers)
the p1000 hardware is already detected and the drivers are installed.
odin seems to be detecting the device on virtual com port 9, but i
don`t have any recovery image to flash in nandroid recovery. (update.zip)
samsung-firmwares doesnt have a p1000 categorie,yet.
has anybody a link to the original (odin flashable) firmware?
or any other hints? maybe by adb?
thanx,
DOMin8or

problem solved
i`ve flashed with odin 1.3
the firmware P1000XXJID.tar and P1_20100909.pit
after flashing its italian again. but its changeable to german and many other languages.
now its working again.

Hey guys,
i've got a big problem with my galaxy tab too.
Just the same symptoms like DOMin8or, but to me the fix does not work.
I used the 909pit and XAJID firmware in Odin3 1.3, but after reboot it hangs in the recovery mode with following problem:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can*t mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.

Wipe/reboot does not change anything. It boots, samsung video appears and it hangs like it did before.
I hope someone can help me, i'm so frustrated .
(Sorry for my bad englisch, i come from germany )
EDIT---------------------------------EDIT
Oh, no. Things getting worse. I tried a galaxy s firmware and now the screen is black (without backlight) und
the led is on.
I cannot turn off the device or enter any menu.
But I can still flash, because the galaxy tab is shown in Odin3 (no firmware changes anything).
Plz. I need help! My tab is getting hotter and hotter, 'cause of the led.
EDIT2--------------------------------EDIT2
That is what I have done:
- I rooted the device on stock firmware (XXJID)
- I tried to run the voodoo lagfix, afterwards i couldn't boot.
- I flashed the firmware as described above and had the problem( in quote).
- I flashed a galaxy s firmware
The only I can do with the tab is to connect with odin3 and flash it, but every firmware and
pit I tried leads to the same result: Nothing changes.
The camera-led is on and if I hold the power button the one is ca. 3s off.
Is there a possibility do rescue the tab?

You used Galaxy S firmware?
Jeeeeeesus.

I know, that was stupid.
What I do not understand is that I can flash the tab with Odin without an error, but nothing happens. Are there different bootloader? And the tab still can't execute the start up code?

Bit of an understatement. but everyone learns from their mistakes.
And I wouldn't know as I don't have one yet. Maybe post a new thread to get help?
Sent from my Full Android on Bravo using XDA App

the reason why densitiy changer would crash my device
the device f*cked up, because there was no busybox in the system, after
rooting with superoneclick short fuse root.
the density changer`s programmer knows about the problem and he
told me, that i have to install the busybox from market first.
superoneclick 1.4 does not installed a busybox automaticly.
maybe the new version of superoneclick will fix that.
normaly it could push the busybox by adb, automaticly.

A:
please, dont use any lagfix. how for? my galaxy tab doesn`t lag at any time.
it rulez very very smooth with stock firmware.
A:
I`ve flashed the stock firmware, downloaded from samfirmware.
now, everything is ok.
and after rooting, dont forget to install busybox from market.
there are some (root requireing) applications more, who wants the busybox.

Another same question,
Flash dbdata.rfs.tar on your pda option via odin after flashing jm6

ok do i need to tar a dbdata.rfs? and which dbdata.rfs.tar from which firmware?

Browse the JM6 thread, and it should be on the 1st or 2nd page of the thread.
No its already tar'd

just did this and it looks like its working
Hello everyone!
Before you start reading I have to warn you that I WOULD NOT suggest you try what I have written here because this was alittle too risky on a 800+€ device!!!
I actually managed to downgrade to JJ4 tonight after alot of risky trials and errors.
I have had that boot error in ODIN since first JM6 flash when trying to downgrade and I did the repartition with the PIT included with first JM6 rom.
I don't know what actually was necessary to do for the downgrade to succeed but this is how I got there. (The rom was the JJ4 from samfirmware with the included P1_hidden PIT)
1: I flashed CSC and MODEM in ODIN, not the PDA as that will fail.
2: I downloaded Heimdall 1.1.0 for windows and replaced the KIES driver with the one included with Heimdall, That is the "Samsung USB Composite Device" when phone is in Download mode.
3: Then I extraxted the .tar files and added those files in their places in the Heimdall frontend.
4: Now it got scary, as the first time I hit start it gave a FAIL instantly. However I just hit it one more time after that and it started writing factoryFS. Woohoo I tought and looked at the process untill 100%, after that nothing more happened. The bar on the phone showed that it was about 80% done but Heimdall didn't want to do anything more. I took a deep breath and forced the phone off, then start again and i got the ---!--- screen.
5: Now I had to uninstall and delete the Heimdall USB driver and reinstall the KIES driver to get ODIN back and repartition with the P1_hidden PIT file. Nothing more here, ONLY repartition with PIT, no PDA or modems.
6: Phone rebooted into JJ4 with Russian language as default.
Now i have PDA:JJ4 /PHONE:JID /CSC:JJ2
Going to try to get JJ3 flashed in ODIN now and then try a update with KIES as i want the stock scandinavian keyboard with ÅÄÖ back.

[Q] S4 stuck on "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo

Hello guys,
Previously, i tried to root my S4 and somehow it failed. I got this error message like "Super SU binary not installed.." I wanted to get rid of supersu in the system because it is giving me problems like my wifi cannot enable anymore. So, i performed backup and reset option but the supersu program is still inside my phone. i then tried to play with the recovery mode: "apply update from external storage" with the file - I9505_Omega_v3.0_XXUAME2_md5_05D08D598EF1873761CFF710BB628B25.zip, "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition", etc. After i performed them several times, my phone now is not booting and only stuck at Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505" logo.
i've been reading several forums and most of them are saying that Flash ROM is needed. Therefore, i tried to download I9505XXUAME2_I9505OLBAMDM_SIN.zip from samfirmware.com but before the download finishes, my pc is showing me error message against this file and thus, the download is unsuccessful! Im running out of solutions guys, i really appreciate if you could help me.

What phone model do you have is it SPH-L720? Or the European version?

ODIN

Head over to http://galaxys4root.com
They have a lot of useful tools and youtube videos on how completely restore your phone to stock.
What I would suggest is to follow the method listed on this site under the "GS4 stock firmware" tab.
To do this, use ODIN (which is a leaked software from samsung used to flash firmwares to devices) to re-flash the firmware to the phone (recovery and all)
THIS WILL DELETE ALL DATA ON THE PHONE!
It sounds like you don't have any acces to the phone, so I'm sure that is the least of your worries.
Use either this site or the sam firmware website.
CONFIRM WITH THE LABEL UNDER THE BATTERY FOR YOUR DEVICE MODEL NUMBER
You MUST use the correct firmware, otherwise you will run into problems like this.
Once you have the odin, drivers, and firmwares downloaded, run ODIN (with admin privileges) and select the firmware that was downloaded for your device for the PDA section.
Unplug the phone from the computer, boot into "download/odin mode" by starting from the phone turned off, turn it on, but before pressing the power button, old the home and vol down buttons, then power button.
Once you see the download mode on the phone screen, and the odin software recognizes it, there will be a button on ODIN that says "flash" or something to that effect.
Let the software do its thing and you should be good to go.
If you are using a windows PC, you need to make sure you have all the drivers, if you are using a mac/linux machine, there is a program called "Heimdall" that is an open source, cross platform version of ODIN, but I personally haven't had any luck with it, and I resorted to dual booting my mac with Windows 7.
If you have any questions feel free to reply, as I pretty much always have a phone/tablet/computer in front of me and will be able to see your reply quickly.
Good Luck!

[Q] galaxy s4 stuck in boot screen

hi
first i know its anoying when people opened a new threads with the same questions but this is the only way that people will realy answer back....
i have a galaxy s4 i9505 (jflte) international 4.4.2 rooted. i replace my cwm with philz and i wanted to rebot my phone so i did it and when i reboot the phone didnt wake up it get stuck every time.i serched all over the internet for guides and nothing helped.
1. i tried to get into safe mode but nothing happend it still get stuck on the logo.
2. i tried all kind of reset things in philz (factory reset,wipe cache,wipe davlik cache,clean to install new rom,wipe use media,everythng!!!!!!!)
3. i tried to pull out the battery and the sd card.
if anyone can help me fast i will thank him a lot!!!!!
sorry for the bad english.

Are you able to get into download mode (press and hold Volume -, Home, and Power)? If so, head over to sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com and download the latest ROM for your device. To know which ROM to get, you need to know what carrier you are using and the model of the S4. Once the ROM is downloaded, install it via Odin to stop your bootloop. Afterwards, root, then install TWRP 2.8.6.0. Do not install Philz as that recovery is no longer being developed, and may not function correctly with Android 5.0.1 or later.

yes i can get into download mode but i have some problemes :
1) odin always crash on my pc it happens every time i connect everything as i need to and then when i click start it crash and i dont know why i tried to serch via web but.... nothing.
2) i dont know realy what is my model the only thing that i know is : galaxy s4 i9505 is there any way i can know without looking inside the phone in setting.
thank you for everthing!!!

For Odin, try a different port on your PC, always use the original USB cable whenever possible, and make sure Kies isn't installed or if installed, isn't running. Try a different PC if necessary.
Regarding your S4, is it unlocked? If not, what carrier are you using, and what country are you located in?

(n8000) Stuck at Samsung Logo, possible fix

I'm having this problem past few days, tried all the links in the Q/A section, dev.. all links were dead.. and managed to found solutions for this problem.
Basically, the tab will stuck on "Samsung" logo and looping for eternity... tried to reflash the rom, wipe system and everything via odin.. will results the same thing...and I thought I'm gonna say good bye forever for my note 10.1 (n8000)...or send for repair (which samsung quoted me ~ $158 for the "board replacement"... but until I found how to get it alive... actually I've no idea what causing my n8000 stuck in the first place..
After a whole day "intensive" searching and everything.. almost all files links in xda were dead.. and finally I found out all the files and solutions..
What you'll need
> Odin 3.xx, can get from samfirmware website
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/30977/N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_XME/
> Samsung drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961956
> note 10.pit and efs (extract the efs.rar after download, yes it's i9300 but can be used)
> n8000 rom, can get from http://www.sammobile.com/ or development section. I prefer flashable rom in recovery such as android revolution HD, and place it in microsd.
> Philztouch CWM
(files as attached)
Steps to do the recovery
1. Download odin and extract
2. Download drivers and install.
3. Run Odin, place the following files
- click the PIT button, select the note10.pit.
- click the CSC, and select the previously extracted efs.rar..it should be efs.tar now
- click on AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.
4. Tick the following menus in Odin
- Re-Partition (optional, some users said no need to tick this would do as well)
- Phone bootloader update
- Phone EFS clear
5. Place your n8000 in download mode, and connect via USB.
6. Click on START button.. and hopefully success.
7. Once finishes, reboot into recovery mode (those who flash rom via Odin can skip this), and install the rom zip file.
Everything should be fine now and your n8000 should able to start properly... that's how I managed to "resurrect" my n8000 tho... hope these helps... mine was n8000 16GB, 3G/Wifi version

Hi there!
I'm new to this and need help understanding what to install under Step 2, which is downloading and installing of Samsung drivers.
I have already unzipped the Samsung driver file but I don't seem to see any installation files. Do I have to plug in my Note to get to this? Or are they installed onto the computer first?
Many thanks, as this could potentially save my Note and save me $500... :fingers-crossed:

boootloop problem
tried all this ,but still my n8000 did not flash through odin properly but failed with error
'Repartition operation failed'

After running odin it says "reset" then the tablet returns to the "Galaxy note 10.1" logo and cycles going black then showing the logo.
When I hold down the power button it shuts off and turns back on again. So no luck for booting into recovery.
Im 99% i'm doing all the steps right.
Thank for your help.

ipoddude95, I have same problem. I tried different computers, different cable, different versions of odin to flash different versions of stock roms. but no success so far...

Similar problem
Hi,
I've got similar problem and I check couple of methods to solve this, unfortunately none was successful.
I tried method described in this thread, but was not successful.
I have old version of TWRP recovery (2.5.0.0). I can load recover but whatever I try to do - clear cache, format data, install recovery using dd it finish with error.
I tried installing new recovery twrp and philz using odin, using heimdall, everything seems to be ok, but when I try to load recovery I've got couple of restarts and then old TWRP loads. I've tried stock firmware, custom, with repartition and without.
I'm guessing that in my case it could be some kind of physical problem with memory.
What I can check more or what to try? How can I determine whether problem may be physical with rom memory?

I have, instead of just showing the initial "galaxy note 10.1" screen it goes to the "Samsung" logo with the animation and cycles through that. Still can't get into recovery.
thanks for the help

Hello, i have also this issue with the galaxy note 10.1 gt-n8020, its stucks on samsung logo and doesnt go any further...i dont have a custom firmware neither the tablet its rooted, i tried with odin having the original firmware but when i press start, after the msg "Start write to NAND" i get a FAIL and ends there. Even with the method mentioned here, still i get the FAIL msg...any Info on this on what might be the cause and maybe a possible fix?Can this be also hardware related malfunction?I cant go into recovery mode, only download mode works...

Thank you for the help, my Samsung note 10.1 note went on boot loop about a year ago , i tried so many different ways to flash it and nothing worked. finally got it working with your help.
only problem i encountered was wen i click on (AP, for custom recovery, such as philz.. or official rom..up to you.) it didnt allow me to put the downloaded file in so i used (i9300_repair_efs.tar)
and it worked..
THANK YOU

You Sir are a pinnacle of evolution! Stumbled on this thread by error while going trough history links in my browser and all of a sudden my brick turned to Galaxy Note 10.1!
Only note, I've used i9300_repair_efs.tar for AP like farhaanwireless suggested and device is restoring as I type this

Can you tell us exact steps you did? Because I am trying without success :\
Also another thing: the i9300_repair_efs.tar it's a rar and when extracted I get a directory with a .md5 file... Is that file that are you using?

Yes, that md5 was used.....
I've went completely by procedure described in first post, with exception of i9300_repair_efs change as mentioned. For that part, I've used latest Odin downloaded from Samsung web, and for bootloader, I've used Odin 3.05, just to be sure, since there is a button with "Bootloader" written on it
