Hi everyone,
It seems that I have run into a problem and was wondering if anybody can help me out.
I had successfully rooted and installed a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) on Rogers. The problem starts when I got a message that a software update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1, thinking the HC 3.2 update, was available and downloaded it and installed it. After install, the Tab rebooted and now all I get is a black screen after bootup.
Tried pushing the power button and volume down button together but still no luck.
Anybody out there that could help?
Thanks in advance
Your saying you can't get into recovery or download mode? Also, could you tell me exactly how you rooted your tab?

What custom rom did you install? Most of the latest roms are on 3.2 already. Is it completely black or does it glow when you are in a dark room? If it glows press the powet button till it is completely off then try pressing power and volume down at rhe same time.

I rooted it through ODIN and it was the Overload CFW for HC 3.1
I was on HC 3.1 until I decided to upgrade to HC 3.2 and that's when it all went black. I still get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 logo, and was finally able to get it into download mode just now.
Any way I could revert back to stock?
you can odin to stock with a variety of stock ROMs from here

We seem to be in the same boat - mine bricked last night as well and roughly the same time as you posted .
Horrible to have my first post on here be of this nature, but so be it
I will give feedback if I get mine fixed with the above described methods - and a few others I have found on the net.

**Bump**
Fixed it !!
I have followed the following steps - hope it helps you !
Download the following Stock ROM - P7500OXAKG7_P7500XXKG7_P7500XXKG7_bysamsdroid (Google it for the Hotfile link) I cannot post links yet
Start your Tab in Downloading mode (Power + Vol Down) then choose the Right Option
Extract downloaded ROM files to Desktop / Accessible Folder
In ODIN, choose PDA then select the files you just extracted
Flash the ROM file (mine took +/- 5mins for the 500+MB)
Start the Tablet in ROM Management mode (Power + Vol Down) then choose the Left option - The Interface should be a BLUE one if you've done it right
Install your selected ROM
Hold thumbs ;-)
Next ROM on my list is BINDROID - hold thumbs I dont break it
Thank for the help everyone, was able to recover my Tab and it is working perfectly now.
Well, which method worked

how did you get it in download mode, after more tries with power + vol down?
Unable to get to bootloader
I've apparently done the same thing and am only getting a black screen. Unable to get to bootloader with Power+DnVol. After leaving plugged in for a while I do see the screen glow, but am still unable to power on. Odin did see the device in this glow state, but was unable to download CWM again.
Any ideas?

This should help. Worked for me.
Thank you! I'll give it a try and report back.
Well, it looks like I have a bad USB cable as my tablet wasn't actually charging even though I'd left it plugged in over night.
Was able to finally boot into recovery to install the ROM, but forgot to copy the GAPPS.zip to the tablet and had a dickens of a time figuring out how to copy it after booting into ICS. Finally resorted to file copying over Bluetooth as I couldn't find how to turn on MTP.
Thanks for the link Misledz, I'll keep it closeby in case I ever do actually brick my tab.

You're welcome Also the tablet by default doesn't charge via USB, there is a script you have to enable to allow it to do so, or 3.2 HC, Then again I don't think it's the cable being fault
HELP!!!
I just bought a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and I attempted to root it via the instructions from XDA. Now all I get is a screen that says "Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 10.1"
Did I just screw this up or is there a way to reset it?
Somehow, I am hoping that this didn't totally screw it up.
I can get into the "Warning" screen. But that's all. When I try and shut it off, it comes back to the black screen with "Samsung GALAXY Tab 2 10.1"

sounds like your already in download mode?? If the galaxy tab 2 is the same as the original you need to press the power button and volume down button together and release the power button only when you see the samsung galaxy tab writing, that will then put you to the bootloader screen that shows the 2 icons which I think you mean.
You then press the volume up button to make your selection, if its on the android icon it will put you into download mode which then shows the warning sign which you then press the volume up button to get to the screen where it says downloading... do not turn off target!! This sounds like the point where you are at.
You then need to connect your tab to your pc and use odin
are you using these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 ???

I was, but I am now stuck on the black screen with "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.0".
I made it to here, but I don't have a SD card installed.
Put the Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip onto the ROOT of your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE.
Next we want to power the tab off.
With the Tablet off boot into Recovery Mode
Now I always Wipe/Data Factory Reset 3X, Wipe Cache 3X and Wipe Dalvik Cache 3X as well.
I do this because I'm anal and it's less chance of things going wrong with the flash so make sure you have everything backed up you need.
However wiping all this from CWM will NOT delete your SDCARD/USBSTORAGE.
After you have wiped everything........
Select Install zip from sdcard
What should I do next? Do I have an OS installed on my Tab?
scrap what I said, your in the wrong section, there is a different section for the galaxy tab 2 10.1 that you need to go to, read as many of the threads as possible to get a better understanding and make sure you follow the correct instructions for your model number. It's different to the original. One of the threads on there is this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056

I don't know what happened, but the TAB is back to normal. I downloaded a file from the link you gave and ran Odin again. Now it has Android 4.0.4 back on it. Thanks.
As soon as I boot I get random lines / flickering unable to read screen. I cannot tell if I get in the recovery screen. Based on the noises I can tell it boots up. Since I can't read the screen at all, the software side will have to be done on my win 7 machine. Is there anything I can do?
I don't know the Kernel number or android build, etc. As I bought this on ebay.
Probably your build. I bought mine off of eBay too, broken though, and repaired it.
The first cm10 Rom I installed had that problem where it'd look like a static t.v. channel upon booting sometimes or it would just randomly do so while on. Resetting would be the only way to return the screen back to normal. Now two builds later, I have yet to re-experience that issue.
So I'd say keep resetting with volume down and power to get into recovery and install a new rom. The previous owner probably had a bad flash and wasn't able to restore the screen condition.
If that still doesn't work, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe you can rescue your tab with a factory reset using ADB, as long as you get into download mode.. which should be the first option on the right when launching the tab into recovery.
If you're unfamiliar with ADB like me, I can give you the steps in number counts to get your device into recovery and hard reset it.. like: click volume up once and hit power, hit volume down 4 times then power etc.

This probably will depend on the recovery that you have installed on the tablet, whether it's stock or custom.
This method is for clockwork recovery (CWM):
To get into recovery:
-Hold volume down + power buttons and release the power button once the "Galaxy Tab 10.1" logo shows (should be the first screen to even show). Continue holding volume down for a few more seconds and you should then be at a screen where you choose from download mode or recovery.
-Volume down
-Volume up
Once in recovery:
-Volume up 2x
-Power
-Volume down 5x
-Power
Your device should now be factory restored so you can just hold the power button until it restarts. If that still doesn't fix the issue, I'll look up the stock recovery procedure and you can try that.
Remember, volume UP is the 3rd button on the top left corner of the device and volume down is the second.

I rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to CM10. My laptop will not recognize the tablet and now it seems to be stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can access the ClockworkMod file area by holding down power and volume down. I searched and couldn't find a similar set of circumstances on the forums. Thank you in advance!
Make a full wipe and then flash it again. Your tab can't connect to comp because you need to tick the mtp check box at settings -> storage -> 3 dot button.

I wanted to update my samsung galaxy y to jelly bean, and while it was updating, it seemed to have jammed on a certain screen, so I did a battery pull. Now when I turn it on, it just gets stuck on the welcome screen which says "Samsung Galaxy Y Young GT-S5360" If I press volume up + power + middle button - nothing happens, but before it was bringing up the recovery menu. I have found a lot of tutorials on how to possible fix this, which tell you to download odin (which i have) then also download this other file to install onto the phone. The problem being that this file is always stored on hotfile, which is closed down thanks to the goverment. Does anyone know of a file that is accessible that will fix this? Also could someone put a quick step by step so I dont go and mess it up more?
Thanks
