My galaxy tab is bricked and cannot boot in download mode no matter what - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidentally bricked my galaxy tab when I try to install Overcome Ware and I accidentally unplug the usb cable in the middle of the progress. I cannot boot into downloading mode no matter how hard I try. My tab only show a phone icon, an exclamation mark and a pc. Does my tab brick forever or what? Can you help me out. I'm very appreciate your help. Thank you so much for reading my thread.

That mode is also one type of download mode. Flash a stock rom like roto jmi with repartition.

i was DL new ROM to and my pc died and brickedmy P1000 and i can only see the phone ! PC sign if i have it plugged into electricity and ODIN doesnt recognize it if i plug it in to intall official 2.3.3.
what should i do?

I bricked my tab while flashing many times.
Try this:
1. Turn off your Tab then turn on.
2. Run Odin and connect to PC (Odin will not recognise it but its OK).
3. Just install the .PIT file (It'll be installed).
4. Your Tab will restart and you'll see "SAMSUNG".
5. Now goto download mode and install PDA,CSC or whatever else you want.
Done !

If u have warranty,claim it at Sammy service center telling them nothing about ur flashing business.
If not,read these threads and try one by one.

If nothing works,still try sammy service center.[Ur tab is worth of that service cost, isn't it?]
@IcedCube
What u told could have been told in a gentler way,couldn't it?
It seems that u have acquired ur Tab only yesterday and here u r giving ur "Valuable 2 cents" at a newbie.
BTW, our tab cannot be Hard bricked that easily and even PC-triangle-Device screen as well as a Blank screen also r Download modes for our Tab.

After a bad/stupid ODIN flash my tab now only shows the "Samsung galaxy tab" for 1 sec and turns of again.
I do think i some how i flash a wrong ROM to the device.
And to make things even more bad, my volume down button do NOT work.
So i guess my only solution is a RIFF JTAG solution... anyone here had success with this solution ??

If it still fires up, no need for that. Just start Odin, plug in the Tab and start it up. If Odin recognises it, you're on the safe side. But first get the Overcome GB-restock v5 and have it ready for a new 'blind' flash.

Overcome GB-restock v5 have been downloaded and ready for flashing.
But i am very sure that my TAB is hardbricked, because it ONLY shows the samsung logo for max 1 sec and the turnes off. And as mentioned my volume down button do NOT work
And i have tried to have it connected to the pc with ODIN up and running while i turn it on for that second but odin do not see it and it is off again before you can blink...
So JTAG service is the solution i think.. Just wish there was someone in London that did that.

Hmmm, weird... as long as the Samsung logo appears it's not bricked. Maybe the Google SDK can help then. It's including very basic ADB support, which should give you a way to connect the PC and your phone.
If not, sorry and good luck

Thanks for the help and now i will go out on the big world wide web and see if can learn about Google SDK and basic ADB support..
And when that is done lets hope it will be on long enough to receive and execute an command like this one: adb reboot download or something like that..
If no go there i will send it it of for JTAG

As you can see P1 and I9 are being flipped but still did think it was p1000 i flashed damn it... Anyway, there is always JTAG if adb do not work. and i am not holding my breath for for it because it has software for a I9000 on it and not a P1000

Mkay learning done:
And it all points to JTAG.
Because adb do not find the device, and i think that is becuase it turns it selv off verry quickly.
Command:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb reboot download
error: device not found

If the phone's bootloader is still intact, that is you see at least the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo or the "PC ! Phone" logo on the screen, you should be able to force it into download mode by connecting a homemade jig that simulates the Samsung "Anyway" field test jig. You can make this jig using a micro USB plug and a resistor.
And as mentiond i do see the Galaxy TAB samsung logo for 1/2 secound and it turns it self off. So is this conformation that my bootloader is intact?? If so HOW the BLIPP do i get my tab into download mode withoud my volum down button...

As I said before as long as there's a lifeform on screen, it's still not bricked. Anyway, the method described to build a 'fix' also means you don't need buttons to press. The problem for the Tab will be to find an USB-to-microUSB adapter that will plug into the Tab's cable. Once that hurdle taken, you'll be in Download mode and on your way to Odin's Wizardry...
Cheers,

"i Have Odin ready with all the files selected and ready to push tha button"

My Galaxy tab (Korean Made) GT P1000 "GOON TOO SOON"
Hello;
I used Odin to mistakenly flashed my Samsung galaxy tab GT1000 with wrong firmware; I end-up with black screen no boot. Odin was able to detect the device after 3 times; after the third flash Odin can not detect the device any more. all efforts proved abortive in other to connect the device back. If I power the device it will show flash light and on with no display on the screen after 5 seconds the light will off but the device will still ON with blank screen I can not get my device to download mode even if I try to it will still power up in blank screen. so please what is your advice on this mess?
Thanks.

If you're able to provide information as to exactly what you did to get your device in this state that would be immensely helpful in regards to diagnosing the problem. However you'll probably be able to recover your device using a custom jig.
I can not be more explicit. I wanted to try a rom. Wasn't satisfied so i downloaded another one (with cache file, database file, bootloader, etc... ) but the file have been dowloaded too quickly (i think the zip file was corrupted...)
So i did the flash, and my tab don't wake up. I don't have a brick state (with the usb and pc logo). I don't have the samsung/galaxy tab logo. Ihave nothing on my screen. Like my on/off button was broken...
And whatever i do(like the combo on/off with the volume down), my computer don't recognize the tab. So i can't flash it again.

Well you're going to have to be if you want anyone's help.
What files did you flash? Which software did you use? Which version? Were you given errors? How did you flash the files?
Please provide a detailed step by step run-down of exactly what you did.
I can't remember, and i'm french, i can't find the right word to explain the situation...
I flashed my tab with HEIMDALL (the last version on the website) i think the problem is when i wanted to flash with the file EURO.pit (i choose this file in the "bootloader" category of the software HEIMDALL).
The problem... My computer can't recognyze the tab because i can't turn on the tab, so... I don't know what can i do.
EDIT: And HEIMDALL don't tell me any error. Just "Flash Complete, Rebooting"
EDIT 2: I think i used the wrong bootloader...
Up?
What can i do? Is a batterie problem?
Let your Tab charging for 5 Hours and then try again.
Sounds like you've flashed a bootloader not designed for your tablet. Luckily all Galaxy S devices store a backup copy of the secondary bootloader which is utilised when a certain resistance is detected on the USB port. You can send it off to Samsung and they'll repair it, but they might charge you. The other option is to build your own custom jig which will activate the backup secondary bootloader.
now ive got the same problem. i tried a custom recovery i found in the "bible" sticky...clock work wasnt working when i was doing adb commands. the recovery i tried is called 3e. all it would do is reboot, t-mo logo and then bootloader words would flash very quick and black screen (backlit) press the back button and i got the triangle droid.
then i got it to go into download mode and tried a rom with odin this is the rom if it helps
GT-P1000_P1000XXJME_P1000OXAJME_P1000XXJMB_P1000XXJME_XX_ITV.zip.enc
unzipped, selected in pda and clicked start. failed at the last second and the downloading android screen on tab was stuck so i powered it down.
stupid stupid stupid!
now it wont turn on period, i get nothing from usb connection or secret button presses.
ill try the "rig" tomorrow, but how will i hack up this galaxy usb to work? the guide says micro usb but obviously thats for a phone.
please help if you can, i just got this thing today
@Benjamin: I can do a custom jig for a galaxy tab?
EDIT: But i don't think the jig will help me..
"If your phone screen is always black, that is it does not display the white Galaxy S/Samsung/AT&T logo when you switch it on, then sorry, this jig will not help you. "
HELP please? Can i do a custom jig for the galaxy tab? And How?
press and hold the power button for 10 second make sure it totally off
then try to enter download mode
if u are able to enter download mode
flash roto jme v4
if it a battery problem
i think it may be battery flat, try plug it in to the charger see if it work after 10 min

By the way, is the USB Jig for SGS the same size with the USB slot of the Galaxy Mini? Does the USB Jig works on Galaxy Mini? Is this tried and tested on this pgone? Sorry for too many questions. Thanks.

Go a google search with "unbricking galaxy s jig"
It can be use for xperia mini too.
Gudluck!
It might be,battery suddenly empty. Its hard for phone to brick.Charge ur phone 1st at full... And choose the right baseband according rom prequistid. I b4 this rooted and installing CWM on this galaxy mini and the phone at samsung logo or samsung galaxy mini logo.
As on my condition,follow guide that been explained. If u have flashed the CWM, REBOOT. Then at samsung logo,press volume down,then u can access CWM. To avoid other probs, flash it with cyanogen mod. Or it maybe cant be loaded.
As far i concerned, for galaxy mini got 2 type of recovery. That is,
Enchanced recovery
&
Tass Recovery
For me,choose tass recovery.

(I think this set of steps works in these conditions: Hard-brick, absolutely non-responsive to any button combination. Odin still recognizes the phone when connected through USB port)
1.- Remove both the SIM card and de microSD card.
2.- KEEP YOUR BATTERY REMOVED
3.- Apply the Download-mode button combination (known by you all)
4.- WHILE HOLDING THE COMBINATION, insert the battery, and keep the buttons pressed untill you get the download mode.
5.- Flash your phone with a valid firmware through Odin (Preferebly, have Odin prepared before doing this trick)
I finally flashed it widh Gingerbread 2.3.4 but i don't really like it, because it ended up a little buggy, which i am still trying to get rid of.
Anyway, i hope this helps.

Did I get some of the previous posts about using usb jigs for SGS on samsung galaxy GT S 5570 right??
What software is required?
Some USB jigs for SGS 900XX (as in 9000i 9003i etc) are available on line for between INR 250 to 600 (1 U$D is approx 49 INR).

i guess your gonna download a firmware on 2.2.1 and flash it..........but i recommend 2.3.3 firmware..try it on mine the ......!....... but still odin detects it......2.2.1 is old try AOKP for are tab....best rom
First, which tab is yours.
Edit: from your pm you indicate P1000.
OK, I sounds luke a broken record now but here goes.
Have you had a look at overcome method.
You need to flash GB-stock-safe-v5.
Sometimes even when screen is blank, it can still be a download mode.
So, be sure that it is charged (using original wall charger).
Then ready Odin and the files in proper places and pre connect the tab to PC.
Then boot to download mode and quickly flash using Odin.

If so.

Here is the kernel (tar format for Odin, zip isn't the one you want I guess)

one click unbrick tool in attachments (you need java installed for this to work)
i now have to flash cw and install that jellybean rom right away.
What about a Tab P1000N? What can be done with that one?
One Click Unbrick (by Adam Outler) is not a P1000 specific software.
It should work for P1000N too.

did someone really told you to wall charged when you had dowload screen? that's so uncharacteristic of XDA users.
nothing on your screen is not necessarily bricked.
find and download rom/firmware for t-mobile on ur pc.
start odin on ur pc.
press the power button on ur tab for at least 5secs.
connect ur tab to ur pc.
see if odin can detect your tab
if you can detect your tab, go ahead flash with the rom you just downloaded. No need to do repartition.
once done, reboot and see if it is fixed.
