[Q] GT-P1000 bricked after wrong bootloader patch

Hi !
I have a european GSM Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) with Gingerbread and it seems that I just bricked it... Let me explain :
- I have a Mac, so I rooted it using adb and the Terminal, following the DooMLoRD's method. This worked fine.
- I applied the bootloader patch found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
(to make it short : the (french) tutorial I followed did not say that it wasn't suppose to work on Gingerbread, so I did it...and it failed).
- But at the moment the Tab was still working ! It was showing a "rainbow" screen before boot and was recognized by my computer as" 7 CDCs" which was totally useless. Here is the rainbow screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it was able to boot. I found someone with the same problem in the bootloader patch thread and people answered him to flash it with Odin. So I installed VirtualBox and succeded to use Odin (1.7).
- The Galaxy Tab in Download Mode wasn't recognized by Odin at all, although I installed Samsung's drivers. Heimdall was able to install the drivers for the Tab but the .pit file download failed. So I did nothing wrong with Odin or Heimdall since I did nothing at all.
- And yesterday, the Tab was plugged in the computer, in Download Mode, and it switched off definitely. When I plug it in using the USB charger, this image blink slowly :
It can't boot in any mode. I tried pushing the power button for 30+ seconds, tried Power + Volume Up, Power + Volume Down, it doesn't work. I let it plugged in the whole night to see if it's not a "coma brick" (like said on the "unbrick the GTab thread", it keeps blinking. Trying to boot while plugged in doesn't work and it's not recognized by the computer. I haven't found any answer to this precise problem on the forum so I finally decided to ask.
Here are my questions :
- what is happening (so that it doesn't happen again) ?
- can I fix it and how ?
Thank you in advance
PS : my english may not be perfect, sorry. I'm french and I do my best

Your picture show the tab in another download mode.
You can still flash it with heimdall
Follow my signature to new overcome link.
You only need the gb stock save v5
You can unpack the Rom and find all the necessary files.

Thank you for your answer ! Sadly my Tab isn't recognized by the computer (Heimdall can't detect any device in download mode). The image only show when it's plugged in the wall.
EDIT : there is something new ! Now the Tab stopped blinking and show the image I posted before when I plug it in the wall. I can unplug it, the image stay, so I guess it lauches a kind of download mode... However Heimdall on Mac still can't find it. I need to try with a PC.
EDIT 2 : it blinks again. Wut.

Hey. I got the same problem as you thanks to some user here named "cx5" and his stupid misleading instructions that got my tab bricked.
Anyway, i finally found a awesome application that managed to unbrick my tab. Yeah it's ALIVE!! back again Not sure if this will work on your tab but IF you are interested and decided to take a risk then go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 and download OneClickUnbrick then connect your Tab to your PC using USB. and leave it there and wait for 20 Minutes it will turn on during that time and quickly click unbrick button on the application then select List All Devices then click the Samsung USB port that you connected your tab at, Wait awhile for installing Driver, after installing completed click unbrick button again. let me know if this works for you too.

Thank you !

That worked but my bootloader is still a mess because I see some funky rainbow lines when booting and can't access to recovery... How did you fix that ?

Hmm.. Actually, i meant i am stuck in Phone ! Computer screen and can't do anything about it which is same as you. i am not sure how do fix this rainbow screen you're getting. i guess wait for priyana reply. since he is experienced with galaxy tabs. the method above is to fix soft bricked.

You are right that rainbow screen is caused by boot loader patch.
Just use the gbstock safe from overcome. It has GB bootloader.
Follow my signature for the link.
There is the guide in pdf but for Odin.
If you can get it to work with Odin, jump to page 7 of the guide,
And flash according to the picture.
In completion it will reboot.
I did write about using heimdall command line somewhere.
Just search the forum.

Thank you again !
So :
- the Tab is booting again but show strange lines when it boots
- the computer don't see it : Odin don't work, Heimdall seems to fail when trying to flash a zImage, and heimdall-frontend fail at downloading .pit file
Any help ?

I don't know if virtual box work.
In my experience it never works for me.
Try get a fresh PC.
Btw, you can try boot to safe mode (windows) and remove the USB driver for the tab.
And reinstall the driver from GB stock safe.
BTW also, pit file doesn't matter, I think. Boot loader is boot.bin and Sbl.bin
They both can be flashed via heimdall without pit file, you care to try?
But this is the most dangerous operation. Of all flashing, flashing bootloader is one that will kill a tab, as you have found yourself by patching a GB boot loader.
I guess if nothing works, you try heimdall command file with the boot loader part.

Ok, I'll try with Heimdall command line. Thank you ! I'll give some news later, if that worked or not.
EDIT : So, first I tried to flash the GB Stock rom with command line. It worked fine, but it didn't fix my problem. Since there was nothing else to do, I flashed the booloader files of the GB stock rom (with heimdall command line, again) and I don't know what I have done wrong, but it failed and the Tab looks dead. Doesn't boot, even after a night plugged in the wall. I guess there's nothing I can do, now ?

Sorry to hear that.
I don't know why it got to this stage.
Can you do the oneclickunbrick again?
Plug to PC for at least 20min and see if it comes alive like before?

No it doesn't work. I think I did something wrong and only flashed the primary bootloader... I tried plugging it to the PC but it doesn't work anymore. I think it's over maybe some people I know will be able to help me doing hard stuff to fix it, I hope.

just out of curiosity,
what command was it that you issued to flash the bootloaders?

Same problem I have now the blinking while charging in the main supply. After trying some restocking on my GT-p1000 and always fail using Odin and other guides, now I can't open my tab but when I plug it in the main charger it shows warning link between phone and computer. Then afterwards, after I left it charging for 30mins. My tab now just blinking while the charger is on. Its just keep on blinking with warning link phone and computer showing.
Any same problems? What should I do. I waited and charged it for almost 4 hours, still its blinking.

Try OneClickUnbrick

I tried now OneClick and then after that my tab stuck in the samsung logo and can't turn off via button. Computer can recognize the tablet but it is not in the download mode.
~Now I turned it off. Charging it to full. Hopefully after charging it Odin will now work. Cause it always fail in movinand flash. I followed all the instruction using overcome and safe flash.

now I can access download mode but odin can't recognize the tab.

I am out of idea.
The most recent case I read of this, was fixed by removing and reinstalling the USB driver for the samsung device.
I personally use linux. And heimdall seems to always able to reach my tab.
I suspect the OneClickUnbrick's heimdall driver (zadig) is obscuring your tab from Odin.
Reinstall the USB driver again

hi, i have a froyo 2.2.2 (v10a) can i use flashtool to flash V30B_12.2012(EU) (ics 4.0.4) ?

minor issue
1. I encountered a minor issue: 1st time I tried to flash, the windows cab expansion utility crashed. I moved the kdz and the extract tool into a folder on desktop and restarted and 2nd time went all ok. maybe it`s something with permissions on my system or a bug in windows cab utility.
2. After flashing all OK and phone rebooting, it takes 10-15 min for the phone to start (just this first time). Don`t do anything, just be patient and wait!
I posted this just for your information, if someone encounters the same problem.

I think just because it`s not recommended for beginners to start experiencing flashing their phones That way, you have to look "deeper" and have to read and learn some more stuff before pressing START

Sorry i dont have this files on my Lap and i cant upload it for you just search on net ...

This tutorial still works!
I would like to thank the author,
I followed steps describe here and its working flawlessly. Well done.!
Anyway, I tried the Stock Rom link you provided and they all show access denied, but I search and get the V30B from this link.
" h t t p : / / d - h . s t / z k U " (please remove "white space" then you get the correct link). Also in my case, first attemp to connect phone with SmartFlasher Tool didn't show COM PORT , but after (did exactly what suggest by the author) remove battery - then try again, it show COM PORT as expected. Press start -> wait 4:20 minutes and my phone start rebooting. After 2 more minutes all works well. :good: Sim OK, Signal OK, WIFI work, every thing looks perfect.!
Thanks again.

Bro the links for rom you posted are not working please post working links..........!

you have extracted samsung drivers in a folder on your desktop????
right mouse button on unknown device - install driver - searh pc for drivers -> show list -> select folder where the samsung driver is stored -> unmark "compatible devices" and then you can manually select a device if it shoes not compatible -> ignore just install
before we fill 20 more pages may be you can install "gtalk"?

what next???

MAN did you installed driver as i said? when its showing Samsung USB comosite device --> flash stock rom with odin. S5300 Stock firmwares make sure to have your region
Your phone has to b connected in "download" mode (by pressing the 3 button combo)
If you cant enter download mode? release battery and connect phone to pc with usb cable then press Vol- and home and power and put back in battery while. Your computer should get the device.
you flash stockrom using odin.
Sry for that complicated chat, but its not that easy using a browser based chat for that. Also you got more then 1 person tell what to do. Seems not workin that good...
So if something is still not cleat, may be install GTalk for easier chat or teamviewer that i can "show" what i mean.
regards

no luck

Did you unlock your bootloader first using OEM unlock and fastboot before flashing the bootloader?
Try this,
Download the MM kdz file for your phone here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Then follow the instructions EXACTLY on the following link and attempt flashing the kdz, install the DLL first then LGUP and follow the instructions to do a full wipe and install MM,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
After that, follow the instructions on the following link to unlock your bootloader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/stock-h811-20i-images-kdz-flashable-t3308227

That doesn't work if it does I'd be delighted to know how
Secure boot error 1003 means you only have download mode to boot into
Likely lg up tool will either not see your device or it will say model unknown.
I've been sitting secure boot error bricked for a week with no explanation on fixing the Unknown device model issue with that tool.

Try uninstalling LG up, the DLL, and LG bridge from your computer. Reboot, and start over. You are entering download mode with LG UP correctly right? First, install DLL then LG UP. Turn off phone and with LG UP running, plug in usb cable to computer and into phone, remove battery from phone and put battery back in and the phone should enter download mode automatically. Follow the rest of the instructions in the LG UP thread to flash the kdz. You can flash the stock kdz with a locked bootloader. Your PC is the problem. If you manage to flash the kdz, be patient. It reboots several times. Don't unplug it during this process.

Trust me I wanna believe my PC is the issue I do
So much that I'm reformatting my PC Just to get it to work .
But I'm scared to think that relocking the boot loader screws up what PC driver settings were reading from the phone such as mtp mode.
So the question is how do you get a PC to recognize download mode with drivers does download mode Still REACH a signal across to the PC.
Are these a special set of lg drivers or Lg bridge drivers which are called Lg air driver update that bridge tool forces you to update too .
What makes you think also that This Unknown model is going to go away its already been stated that it remains because If you was on a ROM and not stock this occurs and no way around it .
I'm not saying lg up doesn't see my device it just sees it and detects model unknown so what I'm saying is the pc and Lg up tool is actually seeing the Lg g4 but just reading it as a Unknown model which then prompts you to choose correct model which you can't

I'm just throwing it away it's a headache at this point
I can't take it to T-Mobile cause its not on an account I got it on trade from a friend
And it is paid off but it would be a hassle with no account tied to it also Lg would hassle me for a warranty replacement likely wanting proof or seeing its bricked first then telling me I did it

[GUIDE]How unbrick your L5 from a softbrick

After my friends ask me so much for me to do this tutorial for the sake of L5, I decide to do.
If you see your L5 does not start the system, it is the LG logo, follow a tutorial below according to your case.
Note that this guide helps only in cases of softbrick. In cases of hardbrick, I recommend you go to a technical assistance.
If your device is in the boot animation forever:
Probably you should have modified the system and is very easy to recover. Just look for the ROM that you were using normally occur before it and reinstall.
If your device is not out of the LG logo and/or not go to recovery:
1 - Download the drivers here and install: http://depositfiles.org/files/8nbpilxsh
2 - Download the stock ROM here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=12
Download according to your device!
3 - Go to the download mode.
If the baseband is V10, remove the battery and insert it again (don’t turn it on!). Press and hold volume up button and volume down buttons and connect the device to your computer while holding the buttons.
If the baseband is V20, remove the battery and insert it again (don’t turn it on!). Press and hold volume down an connect the device to your computer while holding the buttons.
If it was not for the recovery, the stronger hold buttons! Worked with me
4 - Download the KDZ updater here http://www.unclenet.de/files/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z
The file contains msxml.msi. Install it first before running the KDZ updater
5 - Start the program.
Leave the options as follows:
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: DIAG
KDZ file: navigate to the file location. KDZ downloaded in step 2 and select.
6 - Click on "launch software update".
The process will take a while. No way, do not disconnect the device from your computer!!!
7 - If still not start, go to the recovery and format
To go to the recovery, will depend on the installed ROM. Each ROM is different. I do not know how to enter the recovery of all ROMs.
When you go to the stock recovery, will automatically format.
(Special case) If your screen looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Do as if you were standing in the logo of LG. However, in this case, will not appear on the screen written this in download mode.
To go in download mode, you will have to have plenty of patience to get out of this situation.
Try:
Hold the volume up and connect the PC;
Hold the volume down and connect the PC;
Hold the volume down and up at the same time and connect to PC.
You should try one of these at a time and wait about 10 seconds. While the screen does not look like this, keep trying and holding the stronger buttons.
View attachment 3726726
Make sure it is connected. Go on the control panel, Hardware and Sound, Devices and Printers. If not appear, uninstall the drivers in the device manager and reinstall it.
After that, you just have to install the ROM on KDZ updater.

Hard brick is when your device won't react to any of your actions.

Yes.
Soft brick; bootloop etc.
Hard brick; phone wont turn on & can not access recovery/download mode.

Therefore, I have nothing to say about hardbrick. In this case, I would recommend just taking the phone into a technical assistance.

Btw... How did this thread ended in XDA Home Page??:silly:

Hardbrick is relatively easy too (just one temporary pull down on eMMC data line, then emergency downloader from SoC is available over usb), though for writing guide/testing software i would need actual genuine hardbrick (mobo of l7 or enough of l5)
But even if i write guide, you will still need to have full eMMC backup, any other way while not impossible, violates xda rules. Otherwise you will have no IMEI (though that state could be still useful)

Unfortunately this sock doesn't support QDL 9008 from what I know. The title is just misleading. There is no hard-brick here.

It does since forever:
MSM7k ARMv7 - over USB
any before - over UART

Guys, I never said that this tutorial is about hardbrick. You probably should have seen it http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/unbrick-lg-optimus-l5-from-hard-brick/ . I think you should discuss it there, with the guy who spoke that it is a hardbrick guide.

LG E 610 Softbrick tried everything MPT Driver fails to load
hi,
i have an LG Optimus L5 (LG-E610) here, it used to have a Stock Android 4.0.3 of nov 06-2012 on it and i tried to put a custom 4.4.4 ROM on it. i had root, Philz Recovery installed and flashed with it: 20 baseband, ROM, gapps, in that order. after it was finished-> reboot system. but the fon would not boot properly and show my a dizzy screeen. after i installed LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe and tried flashing V10B_00.kdz with the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z tool. ti said "phone not found" no matter in wich way i used it. after this the fon would not be properly recognised by the win7 x64 pc anymore. the "Android Net MTP device" driver fails to install. some mpt driver used to work before.
after this i also worked with the lg mobile tool und the lg 3.8 mobile driver. uninstalled drivers, used other pcs, virtual oss, lg pc suite. i tried every possible combination of push buttons (i believe) and did with and without battery in the fon. the problem remains. MTP device driver fails to install.
WHAT TO DO?

i have an old device, i cant access the download mode or recovery mode just a white screen, this happen after i was trying to flash a custom recovery (twrp). any have an idea? i just need to enter the download mode, and the kdz wont recognize the device
