Hello to all.
Have gtab 10.1 gt-p7500 and i used lots of roms and all worked perfectly fine until last friday, when i try to go back on stock rom, want to sell the tab so everything should be as it is, but there is one little problem. It seems i bricked the thing, i couldnt come into download mode neither cwm so i opened it and put out the battery, put in another and it works, i could come into download mode, but then i try to install/flash the rom over the odin, all sorts of roms actually, so i download it from sammobile, xda, some other pages, basicaly from all the google, well almost. I found the rom that has pda, phone and csc files all separated so i try that too, but no. Anyway i throw everything away now, but if there is something i dont know and i didnt read (forgot or didnt find) i decide to ask you ppl here cause before i throw the tab into trash i want to know there is nothing else i can do about to fix it. Ow i cant send it to the service cause i am that guy, but this is just to much for me, didnt see something like that before. I try through kies, but kies want some password i dont have and when i enter s/n and model into kies it found nothingh. My last chance to win this tab are you ppl so i ask each one of you to help me out and i thank you all.
Have you tried to flash a pit file prior to flashing he rom? Do that first and then proceed with the Rom. The pit file is used to repartition the tablet.

I'm trying that right now, waiting for 10min already.. I use for pit android _fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G and Odin 1.85. I read all the posts on xda forum about bricked tab and I try everything, but usually I got faill in about 5sec but now it's just nothing, I mean I have do not turn of target in Odin so maybe. I tick the re-partition button well it was ticked already and I try without also but then it doesn't even start. This is so weird, I wish there would be some electronic failure, it easier then, but no. Anyway, before I start to talk nonsense.... Thank you for your time to answer, I will try more tomorrow, if this fail ill try again, if I'm using wrong pit or Odin tell me please.. Thanks again.

I try that PIT over the night, but when i wake up it was on fail. Right now im trying to flash the ROM from here http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...14:samsung-flashes&catid=55:samsung&Itemid=82 for p7500 android 3.1, using:
BOOTLOADER_P7500JPKG6_CL429994.tar.md5
CODE_P7500JPKG6_CL429994_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
MODEM_P7500XXKG7_REV_00_CL1037181.tar.md5
P7500-MULTI-CSC-OJPKG4.tar.md5
when i hit Start button on Odin i got ...is valid and then:
Leave CS..
Odin v.3 engine
File Analysis..
Setup Connection..
Initialzation..
Get PIT for mapping..
waiting for 2 hours now and nothing, usualy i get done through Odin in 15sec or something, very fast, so i assume will be failed also. If i put PIT there also it fail, so basically i try many things already and nothing and as i say i come to download mode without problems, just hit Power+Volume Down and i also try to flash cwm ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4_P75xx but fail, i can go there but there is only wipe data and wipe chash i cant flash ROM.
I think thats all ive been doing if i forgot something else ill add later. Thank you all for help again and i hope we can find a solution.
Just small add
trying PIT but i always got Re-partiton operation Failed
Hey, it just occurred me... Could it be that you have encryption problem?

I try this page http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1-the-easy-way/ and i did flash cwm, great the only thing that actually passed on odin is this, but then i try reverted back through http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-10-1/ this page, no way, fail, its interesting it failed at boot, after that i tried cmd, but seens i havent have locked sim i dont need that, anyway i try but i come to the platform-tools but recovery didnt worked out. Tried NVtflash also but i must admit it didnt go well also, maybe i did something wrong but i dont think so cause its very good tutorial, i did try that before too, i call in the store where i bought the tab so they give me the firmware and i download it from sammobile but no way, i am now in cwm but cant flash anything cause there is nothing and it dosnt recognise external sd card and about ecryption, it dosnt say much (in that post), just links to hack and to android_sdk, which i try both. And there is something new, when i put in charging cause the battery is empty now cause of all that flashing i dont get battery icon but "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again". Thats something new, well not really i saw that before but it actually worked over Odin to restore the Rom, well flash. I read the post about that thats why i called in the store so they give me that firmware (i read in one post that i need one it was before), but failed. I actually worked whole day on this tab so im finished for today with it, but very much thanks for helping me out, i did miss some post but with your help i see them now. I was wondering also and look for it on google but didnt find nothing, about internal sd card, where is that thing anyway? Silly question but i never encountered to fail something about sd but in my case i got very strong filling that is something wrong with sd card. Thank you very much for helping me out, seems now are holidays (in europe) i wish you happy one and all the rest.
Okej so this is it: I go into cmd, to my Platform-tools in sdk and i type fastboot boot recovery.img and walla, nothing happened so i go fastboot boot boot.img, nothing, fastboot boot system.img, wow nothing again, so i said how the .... not working this is .... dos, so that was the first time when i crash my tab and after i smoke like 7 cigarettes i cool down. I said lets move to the laptop. Ok i do that, same story, going into platform-tools with cmd and i type fastboot boot boot.img, i didnt try to recovered stuff cause it was all broken anyway so i press enter and boom, the damn thing actually restart so i go http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2035 and download CWM Restorable Image and i run odin 1.85 and wow, look at this its working, i had cwm now, so i said this is fantastic so i go in Odin 1.85 again and add pit file android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G and pressed start, waiting 5sec and walla it passed, WOW i said, i mean one of those big wows you know what i mean, after that i put PDA p7500xwkl1 and start again and the .... thing passed so i restart and after reboot, ROM actually wanted some password to enter in, of course i didnt have so i flash another one, cant even remember witch one and it passed again, this time i come into the tab and everything worked perfect. After that i root and flesh other roms but thats another story. Im sorry for this long story but it how happens. Anyway in the end i realise that my win7 64bit wasnt the right one but on Vista 32bit worked all, i didnt even think about that before neither try to look for errors cause windows7 has always recognised the tab just didnt let files on Odin (odin recognised tab too) through something. Anyway it is working now and i found out about sd card, i know it dosnt exist cause its all on flesh rom, not quiet good if you ask me.
First let me apologise cause i know its alot of bricked tab posts but i write my own cause i had different problem, well kinda and
I want to thank Panos_dm for helping me out cause i admit i left out some posts but with his help i found them.
Ok mate. I'm glad everything worked out!

So I know how annoying the "help me, I'm bricked" threads are but I really couldn't find the answer to my problem anywhere. I tried to flash the Euro firmware on a Chinese Ace. I've done this several times before on other phones and have never hit these types of bumps. It started with me trying to flash from froyo, I didn't see anywhere in the tutorial saying not to but because I couldn't find any firmwares that weren't just a onepackage I ended up just trying that. Well now I'm aware that was stupid because the flash never went through after a long time of waiting and now the phone hangs at a screen with a computer and a phone on it with a yellow ! sign. Pretty sure that's bad. I tried the tutorial on here about unbricking but its not working. I eventually found the right files to flash that weren't onepackage but now its too late because even those wont take. What can I do here? Anything? I really don't know what to do, its not my phone and I was just doing it as a favour for a friend because the phone was pretty useless with the Chinese firmware, but not this useless...
Does phone start in downloading mod?
And you write lots thing but not understand properly that you flashed one package or need one package firmware.
Onepackage firmware for galaxy ace you will find at samfirmware.com or sammobile.com
I can start in Download mode but its still not letting me flash anything with odin.
I never was able to get any firmware on it and now its not starting up.
remove ur battery, press the three button combination for download mode, and while u push those three button just insert the battery again. now it should magically go into download mode and u can flash other rom. u should ask someone to help u tho, its damn hard to do this alone
fixed!
Fixed it! So here's what I did for anyone who gets into a similar problem. First off, I never had a problem getting into downloading mode, so this wasn't a full blown brick I guess. I couldn't get Odin to finish the transfer, always hung at the beginning. So after going a little crazy I just kept doing it over and over, couldn't hurt, and then I started moving to one of the different USB ports. I have 7 and just kept trying them. Finally on the very last one it worked. Full transfer and this Chinese brick thinks I'm in the UK sippin on tea and crumpets! It sounds crazy but just moving around to different USB's did it!
Well, I can add up some more info about this case. I bought my Ace from China and i have never stumbled upon any problem flashing other firmwares.
(sry for my english, I hope you understand)
So, I have a sgs2, and I tried to root it.
because I already did this with my friends phones, I know how to flash the kernel in odin, and by mistake I tried to flash a kernel that doesn't match to my kernel (I hope Im saying right things as I understood from other forums).
Now Im f***ed,
I have the NAND rw corruption symptoms (Doesn't flash, Bad flash in odin (FAIL after flashing, or the flashing suddenly stops)Bootloop)
So I tried to fix it by using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
but in the 1st step, when Im trying to flash the kernel, my odin stucks in zImage, after minuets of waiting, I tried flash it agein but then odin stucks on SetupConnection. Everytime Im rebooting it into download mod and trying to flash the kernel, odin stuck on zImage, then on SetupConnection.
After continuing reading comments, some people said their mainboard messed up and they need a new one,
I hope I can fix my Nand rw corruption prob' without paying for it.. Im kinda scared
So, anybody knows how to fix this?
Fixed. my solution
as long as I dont really had another computer I could only use my computer,
I had a chance after a while so I tried to flash the stock kernel from another computer, and wwhhaalla
phone is back to life.

so i managed to get my hands on a sgs 2 (sprint) that has nand corruption.it turns out a friend of mine had tried flashing his phone and flashed the wrong krenel.on top of that his phone was not properly rooted,so now im left with a half dead paper weight.the phone enters DL mode and 2 other screens so far.one is some small red text saying the battery is too low to DL mode and the other is a yellow triangle stating firmware was not successfully installed and to open kies .etc.so i asked him (jarod) if he had tried restoring it with the recovery......it gets super good about right here.SO HE DIDNT RECOVER WHEN HE HAD THE CHANCE because he read somewhere that odin and samsung kies have issues and he read u should uninstall kies after u get the drivers..also he restored his pc in hopes to save his arse and be able to start over,so no dev drivers.,well i got my hands on it about 5 days ago and have since tried to get my or his pc to see the device.heimdall/zadig.exe are no help.this thing is a unknown hardware id all the way around.im curious if installing drivers than hooking up a good sgs 2 and letting windows install the device/s i could hook it up in DL mode at least.i have tried the uninstall drivers/remove battery methods with no luck.so i ask the experts and fans!is this phone on its way for jtag or can we try to get this hunk of plastic working without jtag.

Okay, So I am as NOOB as NOOB can be,
I got a used SGS2 (Bell/Virgin), I am on Telus so I figured, how hard can it be to unlock it instead of paying some dude to do it for me? (First mistake, and have been humbled every step of the way since!...)
Anyway I will try to keep this relatively short (it will be difficult)... ...I read a few things online and saw that I needed ODIN and a Rooting software, I originally used SuperOneClick, and to download the right insecure kernel to match my original one etc... ...problem is I obviously didn't read nearly enough when I started because I was almost done and then there was a hiccup when SuperOneClick said that I needed to enable SU in Kies. So I decided to go into Kies to try and do so but the instructions before I started Rooting said to put the phone in USB debugging mode. Apparently Kies doesn't see the phone if it is in that mode. Well by this time I can't get past the logo screen and this is where my downward spiral begins.
I then tried to unroot the phone to go back to stock but didn't really know what I was doing and then I read something about the cache needing to be wiped and then after that I read that maybe my OS was wiped. So at this point I did lots of reading (what I should have done in the first place) and most of anything useful I found was on XDA so that is why I am here. It seemed like yes, in fact my OS was wiped because of one of my not so S-M-R-T actions. So I fumbled through and found the right OS for my S2 and I had ODIN going strong and I had the OS loading, the green bar getting bigger in ODIN and the blue bar working it's way across the screen of my S2...I thought "finally!!, I rock!!"... ...then for some reason everything stopped! I had seen in a post that I had to uninstall Kies before doing anything, which I did...but I didn't see until after the fact that my anti-virus likely interfered (I didn't disable it for the process before I started).
At that point of course I was left with a phone that says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
So then I was afraid to try anything else because many say to steer clear of Kies and also I had read that I may need a USB jig to be able to get it back into download mode because all I was getting was the "firmware upgrade issue" screen. I did make a USB jig with a resistance of 300K Ohms and I *can* get the phone into download mode. (Though another concern is that when I plug the USB jig in and it brings the phone into download mode, the counter is not reset and I read that that was supposed to be reset by the jig.)
So last night I got brave and decided to try and run ODIN and to have another attempt at installation of OS. Now I can get ODIN to detect the phone, but I put the I9100MUGLD3_I9100MBMCLD3_I9100MXXLD3_HOME.tar.md5 file into the PDA section of ODIN and it starts and gets to the part where it says loading firmware or something and then bootload.bin and it stayed like that for like, an hour and then I gave up, fearing that I am just going to screw it up even more.
So now I decided that I am not even close to knowing what to do next but every time I found anything to move forward it was on this site so I figured I may as well join the site since I have been here so often. Now I am hoping for some kind of miracle...so, in advance, please please please and thank you thank you thank you all for your input. (Sorry for the length of this I just wanted to get all the info I could into this)
Its quite a long story and didnt bother reading it.
If you can still access your phone via odin at downloadmode. Flash a stock firmware for your device and it should fix if it is just a soft brick.

Sorry for the length of the story, I thought there may be alot of useful info mixed in with the useless info... ...when you say use stock firmware do you mean the kernel or the actual OS? I tried loading ICS onto it (which I thought was stock but I may be wrong). Is it supposed to be gingerbread or something else? Also where would I find a good file for it.
Thank you again for any input, very much appreciated!
Hey ,
I also have a Virgin Samsung S2 i9100 and the first time I tried rooting it, it got stuck on the screen with the yellow triangle and wouldnt move at all. I believe it was bricked?
anyways, I m not sure I totally understand your situation, but I solved my problem using this thread

look it under the i9100M section. hope this helps

Thank you all so much for your help, I could not get it to work after several tries, I even tried three or 4 different USB cables and ports on my PC and still no. I read on another thread that one person tried another PC and it worked so I tried my friend's laptop and it worked!...my SGS2 boots up and all that now! Very very happy thank you all.
Ather reading up a lot of years on xda, and able to fix a lot of things (Thanks!) i finally screwed up
Got a Galaxy S2/gt-i9100 from friend and it got stuck in a bootloop (no special cause, just got into it after a dead battery/reboot), (no recovery, just download mode)
Main problem was with flashing new/custom/stock bootloaders/firmwire/kernels Odin just wouldnt let me finish, and mostly got stuck at Nand write fail. (is this indication that internal memory is screwed, no flashing would work at all, or did i had an option?)
So i took the step to thick the repartition (Firmwire from sammmobile and pit file from droidevelopers) and hoped for the best.. after about 5 minutes i was pretty sure it got stuck again and disconnected tried to reboot and was going to try again..
now a black screen and not responding to anything -_-'
And i would like to know if a USB Jig could get it back into download mode or is the last resort to find a JTAG guy around? (can i verify if memory is really dead somehow?) Or any other options out there?
Unplugging during an Odin flash? That's nasty. 99.9% sure that'll be a new motherboard/jtag sorry. Last chance is to click my signature & look at the part for 'no download mode'... I pretty much guarantee it won't work though :/

Hi guys,
I have a big problem over here and I hope someone can help me out.
I wanted to create an ext3 partition on my external SDcard with fdisk (from busybox) in "Terminal Emulator".
But instead of partitioning the EXTERNAL SD (mmcblk1) I deleted the partition on my INTERNAL SD (mmcblk0).:crying:
After a reboot the phone hang at the Samsung logo.
I then tried to reflash a Stock JellyBean Firmware with Odin but it allways hangs at "Nand Write Start".
On the phone the blue bar gets to 100% instantly and hangs also.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?
I thougt about repartitioning with a pit file, which seems to work if I uncheck everything exept "repartition" and use only the pit but it does not seem to do anything. Problem still persists.
I'd appreciate any help... can't go to sleep like this and have to go to work tomorow morning. :silly:

Use odin to reinstall the firmware, you will also need a pit file to repartition it, dont panic , just search the forums for odin repartition

For those interested in a solution:
After ~2hrs of goo...startpageing I finally found a solution.
As oposed to many opinions the pit file to use is the one with ..._20120329.pit even if you have no 64GB Galaxy S3. Mine is 32GB..
Together with a Stock-JB-Firmware (I used XXEMG4) that is made of 3 parts (PDA,PHONE,MODEM) and Odin 1.85 (don't know if that really matters) it suddenly started flashing. However, the phone hung at the Samsung bootlogo.
After another search I found out, that you have to keep the device connected to your PC until Odin gives out "PASS". There is still being data written to the GS3 even after the reboot.
Man I still can't believe I managed to get it back to work. These phones are awesome.
@ swukjay: Thanks for the info and your kind words.
Going to sleep now...still got 2,5hrs.
