Alright, so i bricked my SGP 5.0 i have the us version. I rooted my device installed cwm recovery that i believed to be for the us version. Wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, tried to install a jellybean rom and it acted as if it was for the international version, though i made sure it was for the us version. It errored out, and now i cant get past the samsung screen. I even tried to go into cwm and turn on usb storage, but it fails. All options are failing. I can still get into download mode and i have odin. But i cant find the stock us version tar file. And i believe ive lost my efs...The one that was posted and linked in this forum alot is a dead link now. Please someone help me.

Hi! I have the Erygit ROM on my SGP 5.0 (with the physical button in the middle) how can i go back to Android 2.3.5?Can somebody help me?Thank you for your help

See which one of the files fits your device. I think it's the international EU version for you.
thank you. i flashed it but i got into bootloop... tried to go to recovery... in the recovery i got many red lines (errors i think) about cache files or something like that.what should i do now?
Wait hold on I tried to flash Erygits ROM with ODIN but it failed and I soft-bricked it. I don't know what to do, I'm looking for solutions.
Well... Looks like we both need a solution :s

I couldn't get out of my soft-brick. Every thing I did resulted in a FAIL in Odin.
So i reset data and wiped everything and then it just booted.
Unfortunately I lost everything. Luckily I made a back-up, but somehow my contacts were removed from KIES
So i have to back up up everything and after flashing the rom , wipe cache and do a factory reset?

Well I don't know if you had, but I softbricked my player so I did a desperate thing by removing all data and cache. Then it was fine. I still have my music, photo's and video's though and my contacts (google contacts).
But I'm not sure about you. Look for bootloop threads on this forum, maybe you will find help?
I will try to help you too.
well i decided to flash Erygits rom one more time, then it booted i think i'll leave it until ICS is released or CM7 do you have the stock rom on your Player?
Yes I have the stock rom now.
And I think it's a good idea to just leave it untill cm9 comes out.
CM is going to be soooooooooo nice! can't wait to flash it
Do you guys have the INTL, EU or the US version?
You can't mix the ROMs between these ver. (especially the US ver, which is physically different - has capacitive home btn).
If you have a US device, than download this PIT, and this ROM, I installed it and works great, it's a rooted 2.3.6.
Hi!i have the eur version i think... With the physichal button in the middle

Hi,
my tab was running great since month with CM9. 2-3 updates a week did not created any problems at all. Everything worked great.
Until i downloaded the
cm-9-20120617-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip
update. After applying that update & gapps, wipe cache my tab got stuck at the CID bootanimation. I left there for almost 30 minutes. Nothing happened. I had the update cm-9-201206-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip & gapps flashed it in CWM wipe cache still stuck at the CWM bootanimation.
Then flashed it again, wipe cache, wipe data factory, wipe dalvik cache same problem.
My last option was installing a stock rom via odin. At first it rebooted at the samsung logo then i flashed it again and i got lot of red error messages on the tab screen. I barely get it into download mode at all.
Which rom should i flash ??? I think i need flash the bootloader. I dont want to try it again and mess the tablet up at all.
Please advise and safe my tablet.
Are you developing ROMs or Kernels..............................NO.
Which section is this?????...........................................Android Development!!!!!
SO why do you start a Question-Thread in Android Development??????
Com on give the man a break and this is not your task but the mod's.
And he is a litle pist because his tab went dead so he likes a answer for his problem,and then you can easy make this mistake to post it in the wrong section.
Your problem did try to flash the stock rom with odin.
Be kind receive kind.
Regards
Does the stock ROM boot normally?
If not try to get the .pit for your device and then restore the partitions.
When everything works you should be able to flash again as you like.
I personally would recommend you to stay with CM9 nevertheless, it's the most stable ICS ROM I could find.
And don't flash the bootloader... if you've never flashed it before then there's no need to do so now.
sorry i thought since CM9 is getting developed i should post it here.
I would like to stay with CM9 but i do not have the tar file to flash it with odin.
I cant flash the stock. See the screenshot above with the error messages.
Which pit file should i use to flash the stock rom.
Questions go in the Q&A section

Hi Bro m stck at the same position as u so can u please tell me how did u get this fixed ?
Honestly it is all very confusing. Best to stick to a reputable source for flashing and troubleshooting.
There are dangerous guides on the internet not updated to circumnavigate later discovered brick.

Hey there,
Today I received an MHL-adapter for my Galaxy S3 and wanted to try it out. Since it didn't work in combination with Slim Bean I decided to flash another rom (more on the sammy side of things). Coming across a thread with a guy pointing out a so called Chameleon crossover rom, I decided to give it a go, downloaded and flashed it. I shat bricks as I saw that, in my euphoria to try the adapter, I flashed a rom that was meant to be for the Galaxy S2!
So I restarted into recovery and tried to perform a full wipe, which didn't work, because it wasn't able to load the partitions (data etc.) then I tried to flash on a recent backup of Slim Bean, which was only partly succsessfull, meaning, that it flashed but couldn't wipe because of the reason mentioned above.
Booting into system doesn't work either, I just get a bootloop.
Right now im not quite sure, which step to take. Shall i flash on a clean stock-image via Odin or maybe try out something like One-Click UnBrick?
All your help and suggestions are highly appreciated!

Odion stock. If that fails you'll need to find and flash with a PIT

Thank you so much for the quick response, I'm going to check whether it works and report back after it's done! :good:
G'Luck
Problem solved, thanks rootSU!
So, if someone is following this thread, I just want to share with you guys what I did and how it turned out:
I flashed the original firmware, according to region etc. via Odin, the procedure was succsessfull and I rebooted.
At first I had a bootloop, so I went into the stock recovery and hit "wipe /data and /cache", which was succsessfull as well, meaning that the previous problem with not being able to mount the partitions was resolved. So I went ahead and rebooted again aaand it booted!
Everything is working fine as far as i can tell, no misfunctions, hot reboots or anything similar.
Thanks very much for the quick response rootSU, which prevented me from hyperventilating .
I've rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed stuff on my former phones (Htc Wildfire, Galaxy S) and I've never done anything like that before and nothing like that ever happened to me. So to anyone reading this, I highly encourage you not to be as dumb as me and to doublecheck what rom you're flashing and not to flash while being overly exicted about anything .
Does your adapter now work?

Dear members of XDA I kindly ask for your help after hours of searching for a valid solution.
After running on my Tab 10.1 for 3 years it got slower and slower, and I decided to install Cyanogenmod today. The tab is successfully rooted. I got the cm-10.1-20130811-NIGHTLY-p4wifi and gapps-jb-20130301-signed and uploaded them to the internal SD storage. I tried to make a backup from ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1 but it failed. I did a data&factory reset and installed CM and gapps.
The Samsung logo passes normally but the blue Cyanogen one lasts infinitely. Does anyone have a solution, or could anyone point me the mistake I probably omitted in the process? I should also add that I cannot enter the SD card from WIndows. If I missed a valid point, please point it out. Any help will be appreciated.
After 3 years of using it I do not want to throw it away yet, please help,
Thanks in advance,
Vecanoi

Download the latest cwm recovery from http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/ and flash it. Your problem is that your current recovery can't handle the file system changes in 4.2.2.

Thanks for the insight. I have updated the Recovery to v6.0.3.4. Wiped Delvik, Factory Data Reset and Cache Partition, then installed the zips again. Still nothing. Could the problem be in gapps or in cm-10.1? Is there a way to put newer zips somehow on the device, or am I stuck with the ones I uploaded before the first reset?
Thanks in advance,

Then try flashing back to stock ICS first then flash cwm, then cm10.1 and gapps. There is nothing wrong with the way you put into your tab. If its there, its there.

Sorry, can you tell me where to find Stock ICS in the Recovery Mod, if it is there? My backup failed as I said.

www.sammobile.com. You extract it, then flash the .tar.md5 file via Odin in download mode just like the recovery.
