well, that's what i get for not reading youtube comments
turns out that video breaks EVERYONE's tablet, and they need to be flashed back to stock firmwar using ODIN in order to fix it
i'll see if that works
edit: never-friggin-mind, i cannot get back into recovery or download mode. period.
crap

yes, and i can still put files on there

actually i'm pretty sure all my problems can be solved by having debug mode enabled, which would allow ODIN access to my machine as well as the possibility of ADB commands
problem is, usb debugging is NOT enabled and i have no idea to enable it with these damn scan lines happening
is there any way to "force" debugging on?

---

what the hell! it isn't even being recognized by adb!
->adb devices
returns no attached devices
and yet i have another window open with the tablet's internal memory visible
what gives?

Same exact thing happened to me from that video..I followed a video to unroot and factory reset and it cleared up...

wait, how did you manage to unroot it without access to download mode, adb, or settings of any kind?

---

I was able to get into DL mode. By holding down the power and volume key.

my problem is that i'm unable to access download mode, or recovery mode

Can you turn the tab off?

with some difficulty, yes
it's tough to time though, because i have no visual feedback on the rainbow screen, so oftentimes it goes into a reboot because i held the button too long
plugging it in to charge helps this somewhat, because i can tell it's off if the charging splash screen is visible and animating
i think the general term for what i have is a "soft brick", but without access to download or recovery mode i'm not sure where to go for a fix

After you did this and returned to stock, have you been able to download the OTA with touchwiz? I had this same corrupt display problem, followed the directions from zedomax to return to stock and unroot but when I try to download the latest updates and get touchwiz it says I'm up to date (after a small 11mb update which did NOT include touchwiz).
All I want now is to be back to stock with touchwiz like I was before. :/

Hrrm, you might need to do things unofficially, surely there's a rom out there like what you want? Starburst is pretty cool, like a faster version of touchwiz

Yes I think you're right. I was wanting to try Starburst anyway which is based off the touchwiz rom. That would have what I want plus more (faster overall and over-clocking!).
What I'm not sure about is which one do I pick? From here: http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyTab10.1/roms/StarBurstROM/
Or is there a newer one than those? I can't tell from the starburst thread if what's on there is newer than on that site or not...
The biggest thing I want, besides getting TW back, is adhoc mode so I can connect to my iPad 3G w/ MyWi (#1 reason for me to root anyway). I wish google would just allow adhoc stock. Apple does with iOS, I don't see why google can't.

same issue
I tried to get the overclocking installed and now I get the rainbow scanlines
I get the download option but I cannot put the hc-31 file onto my sdcard to start the unroot process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
NM fixed it. in order for it to read the folder I had to wait for the tab to shut itself off then turn it back on. Weird but its working
