[Q] P1000 Brick - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry for the long thread but please read and help me !
Sorry moderators i tried looking for my post didnt find where you placed it. so making a new and clear where i'll tell what i ve done to my tablet.
firstly my p1000 was froyo 2.2 and i didnt checked that and tried to upgrade it to jelly bean, that was the first stupidity of my.
while doing that i faced many problems and concluded that it was brick.
how ever i had rooted my phone with super one click root..
later when it was bricked i again rooted it with cwm recovery by help of cmd.
then it was more complex, i then tried to roll it back and installed the firmware but the firmware i installed was wrong region again it went more complex.
then from some thread, i again used odin and pit it and installed some other firmware. that didnt work so i did something with heimdall suite as it was instructed and mess something with zImage thing.. all failed.
now i ve finally came up with no solution and thinking what the mess i ve done.
please help me.
now odin dont recognize the phone.
the phone is booting till the samsung welcome screen i can also listen the sound.
it also goes to cwm recovery screen and also goes to downloading screen.
please tell me a way so that it can go to normal i am happy with 2.2 froyo only.
tell me a way, please give me download links so that i dont mess it again.
remember odin not accepting it, i ve charged the phone fully and also installed the samsung usb drivers but its not helping..

Go to download mode. Connect cable. Start Odin.
You may want to remove zadig/heimdall if possible.
Better if you can get a clean PC and install driver from gb stock safe.

i am sorry for not being clear, i was talking about the mobile network.
i searched on forum, and what i understand is i have to copy modem.bin file to data/vendor.
but i dont know which modem file to copy.

You can extract modem.bin from the rom that you have downloaded.

i did that... but still not able to make any calls. my sim card is working on other phone though.
have tried flashing modem.bin and also tried copy and paste in vendor folder.
but its not working searching all over the forum but i dont know what to do

Settings>about tablet>Status> Service state : out of service / Mobile network state : disconnected / MDN : unknown

Where did you get the modem.bin from and which network you belong to.
I recommend starting by looking at gb stock safe, when you unpack there are a few modem.bin
Start with JPZ modem and stick it in /radio/ if latest cm10
Or to /system/vendor for slightly older one.

in gb stock safe, it was jpz modem file.. which i used to flash and it was flashed very well and there was no problem in anything.
later on when i upgraded for 4.1.1 it was also installed normally with no problem the only problem i encountered is i cant make any calls from it.
even the imei number is changed of my phone.
i also sticked the file in system/vendor .. i tried with the both file the jpz which i had from gb stock file and another from the firmware.
well now i trying to go for the latest cyanogen 4.1.1 hope everything get normal in it, and try to stick file in radio.
can you tell me particularly which file to copy and where ?
in gb stock jpz worked fine.. should i go for it ?

yes the same jpz modem.bin file into /radio/modem.bin
the one in the CM10 might be corrupted, who knows.

Modem Stickied Thread Link U will have to back out to the Title of the Thread to see the modems that are behind the paperclip. Try the cwm3 uckf1. U can download it and extract the "modem.bin" out of it and open Odin3 v1.81 and place the modem.bin in the Phone slot and having already connected ur phone in download mode, hit start. Then u should be good to go.
View attachment 693540
so i found the KF1.zip and the KE3.zip and put them in the root of the phone and tried to do them with CWM and i keep getting an error during insall. any other suggestions or links to get the file so i can use odin to do it or any other trick to get back to stock modem just to get it working again.
sorry posted i guess same time as you lol. i still dont see that file on that page and dont know what paperclip you are talking about?
i see a uckb1 but not the one you said. can you email me the file please im at [email protected] thanks for the help

Galaxy Tab 8.9 Dangerous odd behavior??

I hope some one can help. I have never seen anything like this. I have an 8.9 GT-P7310 and its acting very strange. I have tried to Odin anything I can from stock ICS to custom recovery to stock honeycomb and stock recovery. Everything, I repeat everything fails. It looks like it will go and fails everytime. In this case I would look at it as a brick with the firmware upgrade failure message but no. All I have to do is boot it into recovery reset and it turns on. I just cant do anything :crying: Also the tab flickers red whenever I make a selection but I am out of ideas here..
I have a new Sam cable and tried all Usb ports
Make sure to turn off all the developer options. Sounds like you have USB debugging and 'Screen Flash' turned on ... at least.

Thanks for the quick reply.. Ill check it right now and report back
Edit: Odin still fails
I feel like it has a corrupted bootloader or so,
how to circumvent this?
well maybe if you use the pit file to repartition the tablet then install a boot loader from an old and complete stock honeycomb would make a difference.
you can check sammobile for a stock complete honey comb and check additional downloads for a PDF to describe how to flash using ODIN and another link to the 7300 and 7310 pit file to repartition.
after all I am not sure, but I am rather giving a shot, so you might wait for a more experienced senior user who can figure it out straight

you can find the pit file at samfirmware if you search for the tab in "firmware and files"
But I'm really not sure of this. I'm just thinking with you, so my advice is to wait some time for a senior member who can help you without guessing, because they may render the tablet unusable, so it might be abit dangerous to go for these guesses right now .

Ok now i am screwed tablet stuck in download.
Doesnt work with the pit file either.
Have you flashed the pit file with repartition ticked?
Also after repartitoning, have you flashed the bootloader of stock honeycomb then flashed a stock honeycomb for your tablet? (@ PDA & CSC)?

Have you checked the service manual for changing the software for the tablet on samfirmware?
I read that after you flash the pit file, you should remove the battery then connect to odin and flash the bootloader, PDA, CSC files from a previous complete stock.
Please read the service manual carefully from samfirmware to check the steps accuratley.

Yea I tried that just now. No luck... I am going to read the instructions but I am sure I have done everything correctly.
Edit: I am doing everything correctly. Only the Pit will flash successfully. Since I have flashed the pit I have lost my stock recovery. Before I used to just factory reset and turn it back on now I cant..

I've been there and all over the web several times trying to locate these files. I have the firmware, but I have not been able to find or extract the files I listed above inside the firmware. I figured they must be in there but I couldn't get to them. Is this the file you were talking about?

I am confused. What do you need this list of files for? What are you trying to accomplish with them?
I am also confused as to files needed. The link I provided will get you to stock via cwm or Odin. If what you want to do is build then the github is where to look.

Right I understand but I'm not using cwm or Odin at all. I'm sorry I'm not trying to be confusing I just need those files I asked for. If I can extract them from the firmware let me know, but I've tried that already. Yeah, let’s just say I'm trying to think about building a little maybe, not sure yet.
So the "github" is a place I can find these files? Where do I find the” github?” Forgive my ignorance I’m just getting going with all this. Again I’m not trying to flash to stock via Odin or cwm. Thanks guys.

OK, zimage is in boot.IMG , Google how to extract. The other stuff i don't know why you want to mess with that stuff, especially the boot loaders, those can get a hard brick. If you are just trying to compile a ROM, go to exhibit cm9 jocala thread and scroll to building instructions. Those are way out of date, but you can figure stuff out from there. github.com/arco is good, so is github.com/camcory, find files change them, whatever

In that mode (secondary download mode) you should be able to flash if Odin detects.
Sometimes you need to keep trying until suddenly Odin detects it, and flash away.

Hi priyana,
I do have the same problem with my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 and I am getting the same screen.
Did flash my device with Odin but the wrong something cwm10.x , forgot which one I used (well done I know )
It is a Vodafone (Germany) Galaxy Tab 7 (GT-P1000).
May I ask some questions:
What do you mean with "flash it away" what do you suggest him to use for flashing?
What is it? A Recovery? A Bootloader ...? And where can one find/get it?
Stupid questions - I got confused while reading thousands of threads on different websites...
But anyway, I would be thankful if you could point me to the right file I could use to flash on my Galaxy Tab ...
Thanks
Hi Hotstart,
I mean flash a stock ROM in Odin once Odin see the tab.
One good complete ROM is gb-stock-save-v5 that Team Overcome packed together.
Follow my signature.
There is that and a PDF guide, you need the page 7 of it for what to put in Odin.
Not for ruthlessbeatle, as this is for GSM P1000 only.

Hi priyana,
thank you for your advice!
Currently I am stuck because in the middle of the flashing process the tab switched off maybe due to a low battery.
But is starting with the secondary download screen again - so I am hoping to be able to load it bit better for the next try.
Will let you know whatever outcome there will be.

[Q] Tab stuck on samsung logo after flashing, need help

My sister owns this tab, and she wanted me to update its firmware from stock 2.2 (froyo) to 2.3.6 (gingerbread). I followed a guide on youtube, and I downloaded the files provided in the description tab. The flashing went smoothly, but after rebooting, the tab won't get past the samsung logo. Have I killed her tab? If I did, she'd kill me too Please help..
Additional info:
Model: GT-P1000
FCC ID: A3LGTP1000
I think she bought the tab in germany, if so then what firmware should I download?
Is it possible to just download any FW file to use for flashing? If not can anyone please direct me to the proper firmware?
I've been googling for a day..Download 2 firmwares but still no luck.. also tried wiping user data and cache.
Thanks for any help..much appreciated!
You need to restore via Odin first download Odin then head over to this link
http://allkindfile.blogspot.com/2012/07/odin-flasher-and-original-ops-pit-file.html?m=1 scroll down to the bottom and find the Samsung galaxy tab pit for the gt-p1000 after that go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your tablet in the search box and it should say Germany on it download that file. Boit into download mode i believe its voljme down + power. Open Odin and click pit and open the pit file you downloaded. Then click PDA and find the firmware you got from the last link. Then just hit start and you should be good to go

Also i already downloaded 2 germany firmwares, one is released 2011, the other 2012. Theyre both at version 2.3.6, should i use them? or do i have to download a 2.2 froyo firmware (you said restore)

I forgot to mention did you boot into recovery and wipe data and see if you got it to boot? Often times after an update you have to boot into stock recovery and wipe cache and factory reset but if that failes just use the pit gt-p1000 and the firmware I would try froyo then if that fails to work do 2011 then if that don't work try 2012 but always use the pit file if none of these work then it means your internal sdcard gave out. Also before trying all of this try doing a factory reset in recovery and if you get errors post a screenshot of it so I get a better idea of what happened. Hope this helps
EDIT: sorry just read the part where u already did the factory reset and wipe cache was it in stock recovery? And did you get any errors?

Yes i did try factory resetting and wiping off cache data every flash/recovery i do, but it doesnt help. when i reset userdata, it always says that it cannot access "system/csc/via/something", and rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10. I know i'm doing something wrong and i just cant figure it out because there are thousands of threads here, sticky posts doesn't help..im no techie guy but im trying to deal with the situation with positive thinking.. anyway thanks for the help bud, please bear with me until i fix this off..thank you so much..

Oh I see what happened has this tablet previously been rooted or on a custom ROM? Because normally when on a custom ROM specially with our tablets the partition format changes from rfs to ext4 because its faster and more reliable. That being said what your experiencing is your tablet trying to boot but its not the right format because touch wiz only runs on rfs format. This happened to my tablet too when I tried to restore to stock and all I did was flash the pit and the stock firmware in Odin and it booted right up. Took my tablet about 20 minutes the first time to boot up though but it eventually did.

oh, is that the case? but my sister's tab isnt rooted nor had any custom roms before i flashed it. it was on stock firmware.. would it really take that long (20mins+) for a newly flashed device to boot up? approximately how long would should i keep it stuck at the samsung logo before i quit? im willing to wait hours, just for the tab to work. im gonna flash it again using 2.3.6 gingerbread firmware and a pit file using odin, and gonna let it stand until i wake up later and report the results. thank you so much!

I would say wait 20 minutes or just stare at the Samsung logo if it appears to blink and stay at the Samsung logo then your still in a boot loop BTW how did you update the tab? If you did it correctly it should have been just OTA correct? Or did you flash it manually in stock recovery?

OTA stands for over the air update and well do you still get errors in recovery? And did you flash that pit file with all the other firmwares u had?

i fixed it, finally.
i followed instructions from the Overcome Rom 4.0 tutorials by sos_sifou which is located on the samsung galaxy tab general forum.
first, i downloaded the GB-stock-safe-v5 rom, flash the pda, pit, and the phone modem.bin file. i think what my error really is was i wasn't adding a modem file. after flashing, still i got a couple of errors in recovery mode BUT after it restarted by itself, it booted right away, no 20 minute waiting time. then from there, i was really happy that i managed to fix it but i had gone for a little more. i installed overcome kernel and rom which i was glad i did, its really fast now, and really stable. instructions are easy to follow, you cant miss anything but as pre se, you have to follow everything carefully.
thanks anyway for all the help dude, i wish you also could fix your bricked tab? i read your thread a while back, good luck to you

That is because yours is CDMA tab.
Overcome is for GSM only.

That's some really bad thing that's gone, anyway if you can afford the $170 then why not? instead of just forsaking the tab away. again thanks for all the help dude, it was my first time flashing android devices, but not nokias. it was different in someway, anyhow just always be cautious of what you do always. please close thread tnx
i need help

You need to restore via Odin first download Odin then head over to this link
http://allkindfile.blogspot.com/2012/07/odin-flasher-and-original-ops-pit-file.html?m=1 scroll down to the bottom and find the Samsung galaxy tab pit for the gt-p1000 after that go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and search your tablet in the search box and it should say Germany on it download that file. Boit into download mode i believe its voljme down + power. Open Odin and click pit and open the pit file you downloaded. Then click PDA and find the firmware you got from the last link. Then just hit start and you should be good to go

Ensure that you flashed a correct ROM for your tablet model, and that you cleared data when you flashed (from recovery).

thank you for this reply. though it came a bit late.
the device is dead!!!
if i on it now, it will only on the camera flash light as long as i hold the power button and then off the light when i release the button.
i don't know what to do.
i guess i can still get help on reviving it somehow or else i should start planning the burial .
