[Q] Galaxy Tab won't work - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, my Galaxy stuck at the samsung logo screen after updating through Keis. Is it because I applied lag fix before? What can I do now to fix it?
I can get into the recovery menu, but I tried all options and nothing work, just stuck at the screen with exclamation mark

is there no option to reboot? Mine got stuck once and i've put it in the same mode and just shut it down. i could restart it and worked fine again (except for the loss of my favorites)

I take no responsibility if this doesn't fix your problem or makes it worse, but here's my suggestion.

Get P1_add_hidden.zip from this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file
Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
Check repartition box
Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
After this, the Tab will reboot normally. Shut it down and return to download mode.
Open Odin 1.7 and reconnect the Tab.
In the PDA slot, choose the Overcome Kernel v2.0 tar file for use with Odin. Press start
It will flash the kernel then reboot. Upon reboot, you should hear the sexy robot voices informing you of the status of the EXT4 conversion.
Once done, the Tab will boot normally. At this point you can load Overcome Rom (or any other Rom of your choosing)

So, this one contains a bootloader (Sbl.bin). maybe thats the cause of the problem. Still, I wonder why it started in the first place and then after some reboots it gets stuck. I tried different Kernels with no luck. Maybe I should try to flash a new bootloader? However, that could brick the device forever.

I have a very similar problem.
I flashed the [ROM] Roto JMI Pre-Rooted Firmware v2 [Feb 4, 2011], and got stuck on the Samsung Boot screen.
Now, I can't even get the Downloading mode to work. It opens fine, but Odin/Heimdall doessn't detect the Tab at all.
Hopefully, someone knows what's going on. If not, I'm taking it back to my carrier, and asking them to fix it (assuming they'll fix it).
Maybe this will help for the bootloader.
Its a bootloader patch. Please read thru the thread. Hope it helps.

Dont get what you mean by that. You cant get it to download mode but your tab start up fine?
Download mode = press vol down + power pn button.
As for odin/heimdall doesnt detect the tab it could be usb port (some reports in android development thread) or could be usb drivers.
As i need to switch usb drivers when i need to flash my tab & my dell streak.
Hope it helps to start you off.

I meant that I can get into Download mode, with the Downloading logo, but doesn't get detected by Odin. And it stays stuck on the Samsung boot logo if turned on normally. Can't get into recovery either.
Before I flashed the Roto ROM, Odin was working perfectly fine. I've been flashing other kernels and ROMs before. But now, the USB doesn't even seem to get detected. It's like nothing is plugged in. Can't even choose to install/uninstall old/new drivers.
I dont think it's the USB port, as I've tried to connect to Odin on 3 different computers, trying every available port on each. It's looking like the USB connector is just dead or something.
My tabs mainboard was broken, it was replaced and now it works again.

Same problem here man. I CAN get in to download mode. Odin recognize it normally. I CAN download normally. Look likes everything is normal, but after update it restarts, but hangs on Galaxy Tab Samsung logo. I've tryed everything with different firmware, custom-roms, hacking things, but with no success.
Can someone please help me?
Same problem here. My tab is stuck at samsung galaxy logo and until now, no one could provide an answer.
I flashed some ROM from samfirmware that must of locked the bootloader (JMF). Then I tried to flash JM6, JMA, JMC, JMK, JJ4, JJ7, JM5, JJ1, JID and almost all ROTO's. with and without pit files using ODIN 1.7. I also tried a stock ROGERS ROM (that i downloaded from this forum) using Heimdall. The tab always boots to samsung galaxy tab logo. I've done alot of reading in this forum and followed many flashing instructions but when applied, it doesn't work for me.
My main concern: is there still hope with the tab ? or it's gone forever.
Is there any specific order that i must follow when flashing ? ( ie, flash one specific ROM before another). The tab was canadian that was flashed to euro.
Thanks for reading my post.
the dbdata file is corrupted.
1) download this file
http://forum.xda-dev...98&d=1290261479
2) extract it
3) use Odin to flash it under the PDA option
-make sure repartition is UNCHECKED
-do not select any pit file
-leave everything else the same

[Q] How to go back to standard firmware?

Hi,
was very interested in rooting my phone (Samsung Galaxy S) and putting a custom rom on it. I managed to put on Darky's latest rom last night. However it was giving me problems with the Android market (it crashed when it came to the installation part). Therefore, I want to get rid of all the modifications I made to my phone and go back to the settings how the phone was shipped to me.
How can I do that?
I already downloaded the original firmware (2.2.1) using this forum. It is a .tar file and I tried to flash it with Odin. Seemed to work at the beginning but there were still some elements, like apps, of the old Rom left. So I did the process again.
Now my phone starts up but after the boot screen I only have a black screen with the typical crash vibration patterns all the time. After flashing it again I get into the recovery mode showing errors.
Can somebody please tell me how to go back to my original firmware, without a custom rom, root access etc.?
I'm afraid that I will brick my phone now.
thank you
(I searched this forum but couldnt find anything related to my question)
Try a different firmware. Had the same issue when flashing a 2.1fw on an already 2.2 custom rom. Try a US 2.2 jpy. You can get any galaxy s firmware from (www samfirmware com).
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
thank you for the quick reply.
I am not 100% exactly sure if my procedure is right. Here is what I do:
1. Put your phone to download mode (hold down: volume down, home key, power)
2. Do not plug in your phone yet.
3. Start Odin3
4. Tick "Re-Partition", and also check that "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" have been ticked.
5. Click "PIT" button and select s1_odin_20100512.pit file.
6. Now, plug in the phone and wait until Odin finds it.
7. Click "Start" button... <Firmware update start...> <Get PIT for mapping...> appear. The phone will turn off and the screen indicates "Reset". Wait until Odin indicates "Pass".
8. Plug out your phone, remove the battery, put it back in and put phone to download mode again.
9. Click "Reset" button in Odin and untick "Re-Partition" box.
10. Do not select PIT file again. Just leave it empty.
11. I select here the downloaded firmware (2.2.1) in PDA. Everything else is blank (PHONE and CSC)
12. Phone installs and Odin shows pass
Now, the phone does not boot but goes into system recovery 3e showing an error message E: Cant mount /dev/block/st110
E: copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount DBDATA
After I select "reboot system now" the phone boots but gets stuck right after the Samsung logo disappears. then I only see a black screen and the vibration.
What am I doing wrong here?
thank you I really appreciate it!!

Odin successful, but still stuck in boot loop

TL;DR - Stuck in boot loop, can't enter recovery mode, but can enter download mode. Odin says it is successful, but the phone is still in the boot loop.
I've had Cognition 2.3 for a few months now and decided to update to Cognition 4.3. I used the AIO toolbox 2.5 to Odin one-click back to stock, rooted, and flashed to 4.3. Everything went well and I restored all my apps with Titanium and loaded some music.
At some point later the screen was completely blank and the only way I could get any response out of it was to hold the volume buttons and power buttons. Instead of going into recovery, though, it would boot to the Cognition boot screen and hang indefinitely.
I was able to get it into download mode by removing the sim and battery and holding the volume buttons while plugging it into USB and replacing the battery. I ran Odin one-click again, it said it was successful, but the phone was stuck in either a battery screen or AT&T screen boot loop (depending on whether or not it was plugged into USB).
I've tried using regular Odin with both the ROM included with AIO 2.5 (JF6*) and JH2 (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36) to no avail. Every time Odin shows that it is successful, but it always ends up in a boot loop with no ability to enter recovery mode.
What can I do? Will getting a jig help me in any way?
*Edited for correct ROM
Use the normal ODIN (v1.7 or v1.8), a full stock JF6 ROM and PIT file. Make sure "repartition" is selected and if possible, do a master clear with ODIN first (though shouldn't be critical.........then start over with Cog 4.3 if that's your ROM of choice (good choice by the way).
I tried the JF6 ROM again with the same results (using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439#8802897). It looks like AIO 2.5 used this ROM all along.
I can't master clear because I can't boot past the AT&T screen. The only way for me to get Odin (or Windows for that matter) to recognize the phone is by putting it in download mode. From what I understand you don't master clear from download mode.

Are you using the PIT file and selecting repartition?
When I get home today, I will upload the ROM and PIT that I use to flash to stock and see if that helps but you do need to use the PIT and repartion which will only help if you have a FULL copy of JF6 that reloads the bootloaders.
Just out of curiosity, what is your build number?
I am using the PIT and selecting repartition. I've done this every time I've tried Odin (besides when using one-click of course) Is the PDA.tar listed in that link not a full copy of JF6?
My build number is 1008.
May sound crazy, but you could try using a different computer. I ran into a lot of problems using odin on my pc. Switched to laptop (more ram and windows 7 64 bit ) with great success. Also make sure you have the right drivers. Your build# should allow you to use odin one click.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've actually already tried it from both my PC (Windows 7 x64, 4 GB ram) and my laptop (Windows Vista x86, 2 GB ram). In both cases I used the drivers in the AIO toolbox 2.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418)
Are those the correct ones? If not, could you point me to a resource with the latest drivers? There are quite a few versions floating around and I'm not sure which ones I should be using.
Any other suggestions?
Those should be the correct drivers
Also, make sure odin is completely open before connecting your phone.
That'd all I can think of.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I definitely did that.
Since I'm able to get into download mode, I should be able to un-brick it right? I can't figure out why Odin says it's successful but I still can't boot.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
You may have to give it a few minutes or so as I am uploading now but the link for the PDA and PIT is:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24576569/ATT%20ROM%202.1.rar
Try using this version of ODIN:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24576569/Odin3%20v1.7.rar
Hope this helps otherwise I am out of ideas except flashing a kernel with a recovery included through ODIN, going into the recovery and formatting and wiping absolutely everything and then reflashing JF6. But try the files I linked first.
Good luck.
It's been 30 minutes and the ROM link still isn't up. Is it working?
Also, I'd like to change what I said slightly. When using regular Odin 1.81 it says PASS when it's finished. When using Odin one-click it gets to the point of cache.rfs and then says removed. The box turns blue and says Reset. Meanwhile, the phone is busy rebooting indefinitely on the battery screen.
I'll try your ROM and Odin version as soon as the link works. Also, do you have a ROM with built in recovery that you would suggest? Thanks!

Drop box seems to be running slow. So the JF6 that I am uploading may take a bit. The version of ODIN that You are running should be fine.
Try this Kernel. It's not a complete ROM just the kernel. If it works, you will have to flash a ROM too. Cognition is a good start. You can find it in the Dev section and actually, even if it's not the recommended way of flashing, I moght try flashing a custom ROM anyway just to rule out ODIN and your phone. If you can successfully flash a custom ROM then it's probably the version of JF6 that you are using.
Anyway, let's start with the kernel first:
Onix by existz:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=930679
make sure you download 2.0.3 "tar" file for ODIN
you know how to get into recovery after you flash right? From powered off, hold the up and down volume buttons and then power all at the same time for about 5 second......
Ok, so there seems to be some progress. I flashed the kernel and the phone rebooted to what I'm assuming is the Onix splash screen and hangs. The power button won't turn the phone off, but at least the softkeys do seem to respond, even if they don't do anything.
Odin now recognizes the phone in both download mode and at the splash screen. Although, to reach download mode I now have to take the battery out, whereas I did not have to before.
I'm still unable to enter recovery. The only way to get any response out of the phone at the splash screen is to hold both volumes and the power button, but the phone just reboots back to the splash. It also does this when attempting to enter recovery from a power off state.

The three button combo should work to reset the phone when it's stuck as well as getting into recovery. It sounds like you aren't holding the buttons for long enough. If the phone is frozen, you have to hold the button combo for quite a while to get the phone to reset. Weh trying to get into recovery, push both volume buttons and then hold down the power button and don't let go till yoiu get past the AT&T screen.
If that still doesn't work, then try and load up the ROM and see if at least you can get a working phone back in the meantime. Like I said, I recommend Cog 4.3 but serendipity is a good choice too.
Awesome. I must have been holding the buttons for half a second too little. Now I can get into the Onix Recovery, but I'm getting:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)"
when trying to mount the SD card.

OK, so I've never had to mount SD from those options so not too familiar with this problem but, i am going to guess that we shouldn't have to play with this right now. Onix will let you install a zip from your external SD, so i recomend finding a recovery flashable ROM (almost all custom ROMs come this way....it'll be a ZIP file) Again I recomend using Cog 4.3 or serendipity (both of these may change your kernel but it's ok because they will both have a custom recovery).
Follow these steps:
1. Remove your external SD and insert it into your computer.
2. Remove any files you want to keep and place them somewhere on your computer for future recovery (Titanium backups, music, pics, etc....)
3. Format your sd (FAT32 should be default)
4. Download the ROM of your choice, copy it to the root of your external SD using your computer
5. Replace the SD into your phone power up into recovery
6. From the Onix recovery menu select "advanced options"
7. Pick wipe dalvik/cache and confirm
8. Select go back untill you get to the first recovery menu
9. Select install zip from SD and NOT "install update.zip"
10. Navigate to your external SD (it should look something like "/extsd" in the file menu
11. Pick the zip you put on the external SD and confirm
12. Wait till the recovery indicates instalation done
13. Navigate back to the first recovery menu and select reboot phone
14. Sit back and relax, your phone will likely take 3-5 min to boot up the first time
If after 10 min of waiting you get no response from your phone, use the 3 button reset to get into the custom recovery and select advanced features again, format absolutely everything you can format (you'll have to do it one at a time) and do that. Then repeat the steps above.
Installing a custom ROM isn't normally this complicated but I am trying to eliminate as many variables as possible here that might cause complications with instalation.
Let me know how it turns out.
FYI: Continuum v4 has the Onix kernel in it (recovery is a blue color)
ROM Files
This is the link to the good JF6 stock ROM. You will have to download it and the ODIN version. All you need is the PDA.tar and the PIT that comes with the ODIN package in the thread. You can still use ODIN 1.8 once you get the PIT file out of the ODIN ZIP.
So, after all is said and done. When you feel like trying this:
1. Open ODIN
2. Phone into download mode (with phone off hold down both volume buttons and plug in USB)
3. Make sure phone is recognised by ODIN
4. Select PIT file that you downloaded
5. Select PDA file that you downloaded
6. Make sure "repartition" IS selected
7. Hit start and sit back and relax
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439
Again, let me know how it all works out.......
Ok, I'll try flashing Cog 4.3 after I get off this afternoon. I'll have to buy an external SD, but that's better than buying a new phone.
I skimmed those threads on the internal SD problem and it looks like there's either some corruption on the SD or it's not formatted correctly or something. How can I fix this problem? Doesn't the ROM need that internal SD card space? Or can it use the external SD card as a replacement? If it does need the internal SD card then won't the ROM fail to install if that SD is corrupted?
Thanks for all your help by the way. When Odin wasn't fixing the problem I was afraid it was completely bricked.

Difficulties starting after ROM Upgrade

I could use some help. During my rom upgrade to stock JMK/JMA/JM5 with Odin my laptop hung.
I have tried the following recovery:
IF your Tab does not boot after flashing the kernel and hangs at the Samsung Galaxy Tab screen, you must follow the following procedure
Get a stock rom package (any of Rotohammer's firmwares will work)
Get P1_add_hidden.zip attached to this post and extract the P1_add_hidden.pit file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...4&d=1299767473)
Using Odin 1.7, put stock rom (Roto-JME-Full-v4.tar for example) in PDA slot.
Put P1_add_hidden.pit in Pit slot
Check repartition box
Put Tab in download mode by holding Volume Down and Power, connect to the computer, and press start.
After this, the Tab will reboot normally.
After doing this the Tab still does not pass the Samsung Galaxy Tab Screen. Any ideas please how to proceed from here.
Tab is European GSM tab, was rooted with the protected bootloader removed.
Try dividing the steps. Flash the pit file first alone in odin. Then close ODIN flash the ROM thereafter. Also you might want to try the JMI ROM as well.
Will try that. Does the battery keep charged or does it charge even in galaxy tab screen?
Getting a bit nervous here. Flashing in parts or using JMI does not work. The Tab is still not getting past the Galaxy Tab screen. Pit flash with Odin 3 1.7 is successful, JMI Rom Flash is also successful...
What now???????
Any help is appreciated
Be sure to put the right files in the right slots in Odin
you can also use ADB to get to different boot modes like Download mode
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Code:
adb reboot download
You should be able to use ADB from the Samsung screen
Hope you resolve your issue dude but for future reference...

PIT file
i selected the hyperlink you provided. I am following option 1. i have checked the 'PDA' box, browsed and set the directory for the (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.tar) file. I am confused with step 6 as you have asked to select a 'pit' file, where can i get this file?
thankyou
just to add..
when i said i had done a hard reset, i used the button combination (volume down + power + home screen button) this did nothing, it did not give me access to another mode, it just stayed on the same logo screen
i followed your link and executed all stages
i followed your link and executed all stages. i found out what the PIT file was, browsed for and added it to the directory. It did not work successfully. i now have the explanation mark sign followed by a message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" problem is kies has no details of my phone and cant connect to my phone.
please help
thankyou
Pit file is attached in "zip" file in the same thread, download firmware from here
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-N7000&r=1#regiona (i think you are in EU somewhere if not change "region" to download your latest Firmware...)
Now follow this
- Run (open) Samsung N7000 Galaxy Note Downloader (Odin3 v 1.85) .
- Check these options: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot, and F. Reset Time.
- Now you have to select Pit file and Firmware files too like this (click & browse):
PIT: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
PDA: CODE_N7000xxxxx_CL627135_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.m d5
PHONE: MODEM_N7000xxxxx_REV_05_CL1067428.tar.md5
CSC: GT-N7000-MULTI-CSC-Oxxxxx.tar.md5
- Put phone into Download Mode: power off the phone, at the same time press (Volume Down + Home + Power) buttons
- Connect USB cable to phone and make sure the program detect it (Comm 2-Yellow box).
- Click Start button and wait till the program finishes the process.
- After the phone restarted disconnect USB cable.
- If stuck in Boot animation (samsung logo) Take out the Battery, leave it for 5 minutes, and re-insert battery, Press (Volume Up+Menu+Power button) simultaneously to enter Recovery mode, once in recovery Mode, do a factory reset and repeat above process

i understand how to retreive the 'PIT' file, and the '.tar' file. However, where do i retreive the 'CSC' and 'Phone' files from.
please help
thankyou
i retreived the PIT file from odin:
u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit
Does this file look correct for a PIT file?
If possible can you provide links to the other files i need and pit file, if the one ive displayed about is incorrect. ive noticed in the flash guide for my phone, n7000, it talks about a jig box, which i am not using and have no knowledge of.
thankyou for your kind help
Dear If you have one file other than Pit, then click PDA and browse to this .tar file, click start it will work, if you have 3 files see guide as there in my earlier posts
pit file is attached

N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5 (uk firmware)
Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
i am now back to the samsung logo screen. However this time you can hear the phone functioning in the background. i can press the volume up/volume down whilst the sound of the phone gets loud or quiet. i can hear messages comming through. i just cant see nothing but the samsung logo flashing.
you said at the end of your link, that if this should happen i should reset phone from recovery and restart the process, how do i do this? how do i enter recovery mode to reset the phone
thankyou for your help, please continue i think we are nearly there

I hope r u putting right files in Odin for pda, csc and modem
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
the only files im using in odin are:
1) PDA: N7000XXKKA_N7000CPWKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5
2) PIT: Q1_20110914_16GB.pit
these are the only TWO files i have. You said if i have one file other than the PIT file, which would be the PDA file i have stated above then i can click start in odin once the files had been browsed for. what am i doing wrong?
in OPTION 1 of the following link u posted to me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386356
it only mentions the PDA and PIT files. It does not mention CSC or PHONE or MODEM files. IF i do need any of them files where exactly can i get them from i been reading through earlier posts of yours yet still cant find them.
Thankyou
ive noticed this file from Dr.Ketan
"Yes itmay be single file after extraction, inthis case select just PDA
DONT SELECT RESET PARTITION"
if i have just a PDA file and a PIT file then im not suppose to select re-partition. in your post in option one of your link you said to select this.
