thx to KopyKatKiller
INSTRUCTIONS!
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
2.Get your phone into Download mode by holding vol down and power.
3.THEN connect your phone to the USB. (some folks have had luck doing it in reverse..connecting the USB then Power and vol down)
4.Open Odin and load each file with it's corresponding field..PIT,PDA,CSC etc. (In this case we just use the PDA and PIT)
5.Don't check anything else, the other two boxes should be checked by default (Auto Reboot and Reset Time)
6.Hit "start"! be patient!
NOTE: COM3 worked fine for me. COM should not matter as long as you are using the correct drivers.
Finally we get some U.S love from samsung firmwares.
For those looking the Nandroid method it is in the post below but only recovers ,system, data, cache and datadata. Not your kernel/recovery or BASEBAND/RADIO (Modem.bin)
Thx to all helping work on the Vibrant. Especially Youneek, Scepterr, MS_Guru, Wes Garner, rhcp0112345, and anyone I may have forgot.

To Restore
1. Make sure you have clockwork recovery installed (To get Clockwork see this thread)
2. Extract files to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
3. Boot into recovery and select NANDroid and restore
Make sure to check USB debugging to enable ADB access after a restore.
This has been confirmed as WORKING before I uploaded. Any issues please post in this thread. Check MD5 as always after a download.
This will allow those that got stuck on a pre-release or EU ROM to go back to the shipped release TMO ROM for the Vibrant (JFD)
All the thanks goes to Koush for getting fakeflash working on the Vibrant allowing this to happen.

Came from the pre-release?
Flash the software in the first post via ODIN. The Pre-Release is garbage get back to JFD!!

Awesome.....You've just helped alot of people.

And now it begins....Nice to see you back bro!!

Maybe we should consolidate all of the stock rooted roms to one thread and users can report any problems with any of them.

we don't really have any yet.. until this nandroid is posted.. the 'stock' roms that have been posted in other threads have all been a beta pre-release from MS_guru.. and in my experience.. its pretty buggy

Great. Lets see if it restores the people who were fooling with the pre-release and had to update to the EU version.
Let us know when its up. and, tested.

Bricked via CWM

I flashed via CWM MUI v.3 cuz the v.4 needed v3 due a bug but it hang on flashing boot.IMG. so i had to took out battery. Since then no charging / detection / download mode by buttons. Possible Ultimate brick?

Can access recovery mode?

Thanks

Dr. Ketan,
Black screen no detection no recovery

First make sure your battery is not completely empty. Try to charge with external charger or manage for other battery
Still nothing then manage for JIG as last option

Dr. KEtan,
I bricked the note with 95% then removed battery to prevent drain while briked. Will try JIG tonight., Will let u know

What do you think it is related with brick? Is it your fault of kernel or ROM fault. It is really annoying situation... Im sorry for your loss man...

Im not really an expert on android, but i would consider myself an advanced user so correct me if im wrong....
Couldnt it be, that the boot.img from the rom got corrupted somehow and thats the reason why it hanged while flashing it? Coz as of how i understood what the boot.img is used for, it would explain why u cant boot in recovery/dl-mode. Simply coz there is no bootloader on ur phone. Just an idea...

@jeroen180 send it in, they wont notice, just tell them ur phone got slow sow u did a factory reset and now it refuses to boot send my sgs in that way, before the jig was know, and my gf sent her sgs plus in abot 2 weeks ago with the same story

Yeah, I agree, if you tell them you just had to do a factory reset because it got really slow and laggy than they shouldn't have a problem. They wouldn't bill you either unless they had prior authorization.

First off before you start quoting other threads in other fourms, take a minute to get your facts in order.. Miui for the note has not been released to the public as of this date because it has the possibility to brick you device as it has the unsafe Samsung kernel (yes the same kernel as your stock note ), so if your running Miui on your note than your running a leaked version (then in that case you should know the risk involved) that is either running the stock kernel or it has one of the hydracore versions as it is the only option miui has at the moment unless your on one of the cm versions. So not defending either the rom/kernel he was trying to flash or what he was coming from as he really doesn't state either .. it would help if he provided such information. Sorry to the owner but before you get your device JTAGGED you may want to check with a samasung service center because the JTAGGED will void your warranty..

No ,CWM will not erase or even touch the bootloaders ,only PC ODIN can do that ,boot.img refers to the kernel ,I've had a corrupted boot.img flash once ,easily solved via PC ODIN ,the phone would start up and show the logo but nothing more if that happens .I doubt that's the case here but you could try a blind flash in PC odin and see if that works .

How you explain the phone stays black screen after hanging in CWM with boot.img? U suggest my board broke by accident? Someone can explain?

Could it be,
that,,,, i forgot to reboot after flashing the Hydrakernel... and eMMC bricked the bootloader perhaps? since the bootloader is stored on the chip as well?

[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

Thank you very much atlast someone replied!
Anyhow i downloaded the pit(s) for my device, but i got 4 pit files, (gt-p1000_mr, pit-909, pit-EUR and pit-p1) which one do i have to use?
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'm really confused, but i'll try them all now. thanks very much!!!!!!

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?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

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.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

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

Attached is the Overcome guide, after extracting and executing index.html, go to paragraph Re-“Stocking” Yer System… and follow the instructions, make sure to choose the appropriate files for your device, you can either preserve the GB stock rom or install the overcome custom rom.

Are you sure you've downloaded the correct files for your device?

The guy was trying to help, why be rude? Anyways, it is only supposed to go into the PDA/AP section. Boot into download mode and flash it. If it fails, make sure you're using the cable from Samsung that came with your phone. If you don't have it, get one (Not a cheap one). If it happens to say fail again, please tell us what it says in that little box so we can at least know what's up. Thank you.
EDIT: Also make sure you don't have the OTA update for 5.0. Otherwise you're stuck and not downgrading any time soon.

If you extract one of the files it has the folders to go in all four Odin slots but it won't fix your problem find the tar version which someone was nice enough to post for you .

Ok just put this file into the ap slot in odin and flash . I just checked and the download is working . Make sure you know how to use odin and it will act like odin is not responding but the file is so big it takes a min to load it . Good luck . https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712464416 . thats just the st8 link from the links that were provided .
