[Q] Problem with bootloader Galaxy Tab P1000 internal memory corrupted - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Sorry for my english first.
I have Galaxy Tab GT-P1000... and problem.
My device have corruped internal memory. Problem with flash hidden.rfs and movinand.mst, and samsung logo loop.
At first I try to flash with Odin3 and stock firmware 2.3.3 and I see it's make no diffrent. Try second time this same and I see logo screen with mobile, PC and exclamation mark between.
I use OneClikLoader and I can go on Downloading Mode.
After that I read how to fix problem with internal memory and use only external sd card to make device work.
I download heimdall 3.09, Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread [XWJQ8], Overcome Kernell 4 and probably I do something wrong. Mayby i don't understand somthing. Now I can't explaint what I do wrong. I use Overcome Kernell zImage, mayby I swaaped RECOVERY with KERNEL in Heidmall.
I write what is the situation now.
My device looks like hard brick, almost. It won't turn on when flash is end, push power button and nothing. I connect to the computer and after 20min its show samung logo by long time and go another step, show short animation, but it stuck. I turned off and try turn on and nothing happend.
Somehow I managed turn on download mode on device. I thing I have corruped bootloader, kernell and evrything .
Could someone can help me and tell what should I do, what firmware, bootloader download and how to flash by heimdall only, becouse Odin don't see the device. We can accepted that device is hard bricked and we must flash everything.
Thank You

The first bit of advice is to let this thing charge up, preferably overnight. From the way your describing it, it sounds to me like your Battery has gone flat. And, although you can, and I have done some Flashing with ca~ 10% Battery Life. Its not something you should do regularly. Alas I didn't have a USB Charger back then. I have since corrected this oversight, and now I can fully charge my P1000 with-in 4~5 hours. Assuming that you can only charge though a PC this WILL take longer. A lot longer!
After which you should try to reflash again with the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3. Oden Package gt-p1000_mr.pit, GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar and the XXJPZ Modem <- VERY IMPORTANT! In my experience if I had forgot to include this File in Oden, and then flashed anyway I'd land up in soft-brick land, which then required me to use the One-Click Recovery which is a PITA to have to keep setting up on each use. (on a Windows7 Netbook).
If you still get errors then you may have to also flash dbdata.tar (PDA Section) to your P1000, and then go back into recovery and rerun Wipe Data/Factory Reset & Wipe Cache Partition. Which should hopefully fix your problems.
These Files must be unzipped! THEY ARE NOT MEANT TO BE FLASHED VIA RECOVERY!! You have to use either Heimdall or Oden to flash this!

It is false to assume you need root to flash a custom Rom. You only need custom recovery.
Rooting allows you to gain super user privileges.
Just because the kernel that has cwm also has root doesn't make rooting necessary.

Thank You very much for help.
I do what you wrote and now I have samsung loop logo and CMR.
Now I can get i recovery mode with CMR V3.0.0.5
Now I only must swap vold.fstab but I can't get SU in adb shell. When I go to the adb shell, then in new cmd windows I put SU and get: perrmision denied. It should be rootend is't?
I will read now how to get SU acces but if someone can tell me how is easy way to swap files, I will be lising
Thank You one more time

[Q] (Q) Galaxy tab P1000L wont turn on

O my problem is i was trying to flash OVERCOME Icarus and following the guide on the overcome site i downloaded the stock v5 file unziped and started the included odin in download mode selected the files as instructed set repartition and pressed start. After couple minutes odin gave me a green PASS and rebooted my phone but it wont turn on soft keys are on but screen is of. If i press the power button the keys turn of. Conecting it to power outlet (original included charger) turn on soft keys after a few secs but no battery icon displayed.
After about 30 mins in this state i tried plugging it to my pc (windows 7x64Ultimate) and windows made the sound that it detected something but i cud not check what hardware it detected and odin did not detect device.
Is this a SOFT-Brick or a HARD-Brick and how can i correct my problem if possible
Edit: ok when i plugg it in windows Device manager shows SAMSUNG Android USB Modem, and SAMSUNG Android composite adb interface. Also if i start kies it tries to connect but after a while gives me a device not responding to resolve this issue reboot the device. Odin still does not detect it
Edit2: Ok tried going tru command prompt adb with adb devices command and it gives me a device conected in recovery mode i guess the is still hope still if some1 can help ill apreciate it
i was gonna reply you now , if you wait 1 second with your pm , you could see me reply you
1st of all and this is the important , overcome is not for P1000L my prove is :

if odin can't recognize it then sorry i can't do you anything but you can try this "
Check to see if the device is actually "Hard" bricked by leaving it plugged into charge for atleast 4 hours via a mains supply (NOT USB).
If above doesn't work you will need to send your Tab To Samsung To Fix it For you or visit this link. "
sorry for your lost dude , you better read carefully later the guides , to be sure batter than to be sorry .
good luck

looks like the tab was booting but the screen wasnt turning on i replaced the kernel with one found in post #1 from this treadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14728425#post14728425 and instalation continued still no screen the followed instructions from post#4 of same thread and got screen to turn on but stuck at galaxy tab boot screen, got fed up and im restoring my original rotobackup using heimdall 1.1 frontend the bar at heimdall shows 100% but no other success or failure message been like that for bout 10mins device screen show download bar but i dont see any advance btw im at the phone-yellow triangle-pc download screen
that is cool , simply you are a Worrier
did you unplugged or not yet ?
sooner or later you gonna do

damm this tab used odin to flash my roto backup of original rom and nothing normal boot goes past galaxy tab screen into operator(telcel:mexico) animation and then gets stuck in samsung logo.
Recovery mode shows following errore:cant mount /dev/bñock/mmcblk0p2 (invalid Argument)

Good news looks like a software brik bad news=a really bad software brik any help will b thanked and apreciated
i think you need to flash your firmware " http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/auth/login?why=pw&try=1&wp=1&next=WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm" download it from this link ans flash it with PIT FILE
Finally
Ok Im a very happy tab owner now dont really know what worked but i tried the rom from samfirmware and the same so i retraced my steps got overcome in there again managed to get the sexy voice withoout screen went back to samfirmware at this point the error changet to cant mount dev sdcard or something like that so i went back to my own rotobackup and was back on last error.
I was almost thinking of sending it for repair when (and i dont know why i did) in the factory recovery menu i pressed home on the wipe cache option i got android with sign so i get desperate and press home dunno how many times and sudenly the cache was wiped i did the same on factory reset and after that my tab booted into my operator rotobackup(rooted ofc).
Guess I will stick to froyo for now and thanks for the help
Telcel
I'm anothere desesperated user that tried to update the Galaxy Table P1000L toandroid Gingerbread, but screen is not working anymore, I hate my self for trying doing this, What should I do?

So... same problem here.... My tab p1000l bricked and then when i finally got the answear the battery got drained... so... if i understand it correctly if it was not a hard brick i can charge already if i plug it for at least 4 hours to charge?

[Q] I9000 unable to boot.

My sons UK i9000 has a problem, the touch keys were not working and the screen was cracked., so a replacement part was bought and new screen fitted.
The phone booted fine, but the new touch keys did not work, so we tried to update the touch key firmware with *#*#2663#*#* but then the phone refused to boot.
We tried to reflash to a stock rom, which went all ok with odin, but the phone never got past the galaxy s screen.
We have tried loads of different stock and custom roms, including darky's ressurection, but they all either boot to the galaxy s screen and go no further, or boot to the galaxy s screen then reboot after a short while.
Is there anything we can do, we can still access recovery and download mode.
Many thanks.
did you flash the official rom using the ".pit" file? i can only suggest this and this
hope it helps

Many thanks for the links, tried the gingerbread rom you linked to, phone boots to galaxy s screen, stays there for a while, then constant reboots again.
I'm having the same problem as OP.
Does anybody have any other ideas?
Flash stock JVT firmware (check repartition) use 512 pit, flash Semaphore kernel. Go into CWM recovery, do a factory wipe. It should be good.
Nope, same problem, everything passes ok in odin, but the phone still reboot loops.
Would a faulty touch key cable cause it to do this or maybe something more serious?
Many thanks.
put your device in download mode and use this:

I tried to recover my galaxy s I9000 using odin, i had the 512 pit file and stock rom image 2.2froyo, and now mine doesnt even come on anymore, i could get it to go into download mode when the flash failed by taking the battery out unplugging usb, then plug usb in, hold both volume buttons and insert the battery, that worked for me until odin had succeeded, everything was correct, I did days and days of research about it before I went through with it, but now that it successfully flashed, the phone no longer enters download mode or see's any ounce of life, would the jig still work to force the phone to come on?
Tried the one click, first attempt it boots to the first GT I9000 and stays there.
Then tried with flash bootloaders ticked, but bootloops again.
Starting to loose faith in this phone.
if your son's phone was previously on Froyo, you may need to tick "flash bootloaders" in OneClick...

[Q] [BRICKED] Please Help!

Hi, Okay I was trying to flash clockworkmod recovery on my friend's Rooted Samsung Captivate w/ Eclair so that I could then flash a newer version of android to their phone since they couldn't update it via OTA considering they don't have a sim card. So firstly I flashed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide mtcarey's kernel with ClockworkMod Recovery using Heimdall Suite. After flashing, the phone it restarted like prompted in the instructions then a suddenly the screen was full of pixels and blackness it also boot loops, the only other thing I can get into is in download mode here's a photo.

I think this happened because the kernel was gingerbread based but the phone was still on eclair. I tried to revert back to stock with Odin but I can't get into normal boot or recovery so the device isn't recognized. I am thinking about flashing a 2.1 kernel with stock recovery (if I can find one) using Heimdall since it doesn't need to have a device recognized.
Please can someone give me any tips before doing so also providing a correct kernel? or correct me if I'm doing anything wrong? Please my friend and I would really appreciate it!
Mmm..
1- Take the battery out and disconnect the USB cable
2- Verify that you've the correct Samsung drivers
3- Open THIS Odin
4- Put the battery again
5- Hold Vol Up and Vol Down buttons (DON'T PRESS THE POWER BUTTON!!!), and connect the phone to your PC with the USB. Don't release the Volume buttons until you see the Download Mode Screen..
6- Release the buttons, and press start
BTW.. If it was in Eclair, the only thing you should've done is download ROM Manager from Market, then install/flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager

I did all of the steps provided and still no prevail, but luckily when I flashed another kernel which wasn't stock while in download mode, it successfully worked! and I did go to the market but ClockworkMod Recovery free version wasn't in the market ever since they converted to the Play Store, I even downloaded the APK but the stock rom didn't allow third party installations. But thanks anyways!

Belay that order! There is no need to download the ClockworkMod Recovery from the play store. It doesn't really have anything for our devices so it is not needed. You will just need a kernel with CWM baked into it.
The problem was that you flashed a Gingerbread Kernel (KK4) to your Eclair phone. In the future, you will want to flash a stock Gingerbread image (if you're not on one now), flash a kernel with CWM (Corn is a fine choice), and then proceed to update to the newer ROM through CWM (unless the ROM has an Odin/Heimdall package)
The funky pixelation is also due to trying to run something Gingerbread without having the Gingerbread Bootloaders.
To run a GB Rom u have gotta have the GB Bootloaders. :thumbup:

[Q] SGS Not able to boot after re-partitioned..

After flashing MIUI Jelly Beans I wanted to go back to stock 2.3 ROM to check on something and did a restore with CWM which didn't work because (as I've learned later) it uses different file system, anyway I've flashed s1_odin_20100512.pit file alone with Odin, and the result is that I can only turn the phone on in download mode.. What can I do now?
Thanks to everybody in advance..
I've tried to flash stock ROM using the method mentioned in this thread:

you have KIES running in the background shut it down, get solutions from My Android Solutions for Odin stuck
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT SD card, press power
button for a minute , than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card...make sure you
have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing
Thanks a lot, and yes Samsung Kies was running in the background while I was trying to flash, I'll make sure it is shutdown this time, anyway the battery is almost at zero now and the phone isn't charging, so I'l have to wait for a friend who has SGS until tomorrow so I can charge the battery and try to flash the phone again.
On the other hand, I remembered something that might be important, which is that my phone have problems with internal memory (when you have error messages like "E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"), not sure if it had something to do with failing to flash stock ROM besides having Samsung Kies running in background (because I got stuck on "Set Partition" in Odin only one time), so there might be something else ausing these problems..anyway I'll try to flash it again tomorrow and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Look at My Android solutions again, for other problems, when you Flash bootloader, tick update bootloader too

You mean during flashing the ROM right? or should I flash bootloader separately?
(I didn't touch my phone yet, still waiting for my friend for recharging)

yup, just tick it, can be done separately too
Thanx a lot, the phone is working again, it turned out that you must use Windows account that have administrator privileges in order for the flashing process to work (not sure though cuase I've tried admin account after restart, so may be restarting PC was the answer)

Easiest way would be to flash speedmod kernel with Odin 1.87 (or 1.85). It comes with a custom recovery.

Messed up 3 button recovery/download and CWM
Hi I received a Samsung Captivate as a backup option oh 4 months back or so. I use an sgh-i717 and have absolutely zero experience with the captivate. The other day though my Note starting having charging issues so I decided I better set up the Captivate in case the need actually comes for it. Well it already had CWM Recovery and a custom rom, I believe Continuum. Well I wanted to change the ROM but the information I was reading wasn't working and in my frustration I must've messed something up, but I do have step by step log that I wrote during whole process. I've already been reading a bit here but hoping someone can help speed me to info I need since I'm so utterly clueless to this phone.
Ok my current state is this. When booting the phone it displays AT&T screen then a screen that has the word Talon on it and there it remains. The USB apparently stopped working right before it was given to me although unsure to cause. Now the Download/Recovery 3 button combo did work but somehow I broke that and so now I cant really do anything without some help.
Ok here is log of what I did.
1. Boot into CWM
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. Cache wipe
4. Format SD Card
5. Format Cache
6. Format Data
7. Format System
8. Wipe Dalvik Cache
9. Power Off

Well basically you erased everything on your phone without flashing another ROM, hence why it won't fully boot up.
If your usb port isn't working, you'll have to use an external sd and put a ROM + kernel on it (that are 2.2). I suggest Firefly and Speedmod. From there, you'll have to boot in recovery and flash both (ROM first).
Without a working usb, you can't use Odin to flash the stock image on your phone so hope that you can get in recovery!
