Trying root - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7510 and i tried to root using a guide from this forum . After odin injected ''recovery.tar.md5'' everything was ok , but when i tried to open recovevery mode to unzip i can see only many letters on blue and back passing too fast , so nothing could be read and right after this my tablet turned off and when i turned on everything was in Chinese , Help me pls ! I'm very confused

I'm pretty sure you'll need to flash the US bootloader in Odin to fix the rolling screen. Search around in the forum and you'll find the file you need. And don't worry, your tablet isn't broken, it's just a bit "confused". Flash that bootloader and it will just fine. If you can't find the file just let me know and I'll dig it up from my office computer tomorrow.

[Q] Help is such a nasty term, but some assistance is required

Hello devs/deviants/xda members.
I hate for this to be my first post, but avast.
The other night (in a drunken stupor that i... regrettably...dont remember) i managed to brick (probably) my Vibrant.
From going through my history i figured out that i successfully rooted my phone and loaded Macnut R14 ROM. However, it then appears that i loaded the Axure CE rom (for Captivate i think).
It is now stuck in a loop. The Att load screen appears, followed by a Galaxy S, Gt-i900 screen. My phone then says in a creepy Radiohead voice: "restore operation"
I cannot access recovery (through adb or 3-button recovery) and i have been unable to get into download mode.
My finace has forbidden me to buy the replacement phone ($288 dollars if Tmo finds anything wrong with it), so i turn to you, masters of all thing dev, for help.
I expect a certain bit of jabbing and or anger from those more established members. If it makes my case any better, i have been trolling XDA for quite a while and y'all helped me root my G1 (which i love ;-) )
Any help would be great.
Final question--is it true you can't brick a Vibrant? Just looking for some more info.
Thanks in advance,
~ J017373
Thanks guys, found a YouTube video to show me how to get into download. THERE IS HOPE YET!
okay, so i have it it Download mode. (Huge shout out to TheVoiceofAndroid), but i cant get Odin to read the phone. Is it possible that i need to download the Captivate drivers?
Was your phone recognized in odin before this mishap? Just make sure you have the proper drivers installed. If you do indeed need the drivers, just search the forums.

i didnt flash with odin. Pretty sure i used adm. ****ing drunk self.
Downloading samsung drivers now. Do u know, does it cover all their Galaxy S Phones.
Search the development forums for the link to the drivers. Then just download the drivers for your respective OS.
After you have the proper drivers, just re-open odin and it should recognize your device. You should have a COM##.

Best thing you can do is just go to the vibrant bible or click on the stickies tab. Your drivers are there along with odin and odin tutorials. I wanged my phone once or twice and xda hasn't failed me yet.

ok com recognoized. The only problem im having is if i want to goto eugenes 2.2, do i have to goto stock first?
dear LORD ITS FIXED. THANK YOU XDA!
Haha, awesome post.
Remember how you just fixed your phone... if you continue to tweak it, it will more than likely happen again ;-)
Good to have you back.

You probably have thought of, and tried this but......
I have a galaxy nexus and found myself stuck in a very simalar situation.
I came accross a galaxy nexus toolkit by WugFresh, and i managed to get stock back on through the adb interface.
The toolkit automatically detected my phone and what version of the firmware it needed, downloaded it and flashed it on to my phone. It can also use the fastboot interface but adb is by far better in my personal opinion...
Maybe this could help you out, or maybe could even find a galaxy note version.
As your in a non working state atm, you have nothing to lose by at least giving it a go.
May not help, but i thought i would try and give some assistance.

I forgot about this post, sorry. I also posted in the Galaxy Note general section where I replied, I thought I would risk it and reboot my phone and it rebooted as normal...phew!...and when I when back into download mode and tried flashing the ROM again...it worked! A little wierd but i'm happy I haven't done anything damanging to my phone, watch something happen tomorrow like my phone not turning on
glad you got it working again. there is nothing worse than banging your head against a brick wall with a broken phone!!
luckily these days, it is near impossible to brick a phone completely. thank heavens for small mercys!!

[Q] graghic problem p7500

everything goes very well until i Decide to install cmw , busybox
in this time's so tab let graphic problem
of course with install a rom (P7500JPKL2_P7500OJPLB1_P7500XXKL3_HOME.tar.md5)
only graphic problem resolve
since yesterday i decided to change everything
told me :install stock rom & install cmw , reroot , busybox & ...

after install this everything was bad
now i have graphic problem in boot , download mode , recovery ,... every where

but with both of rom not changed
i realize problem is rooted then to make change with change the rom
it seems the problem is software
how can re wright everything as first (boot loader , rom , ...)
please help me
sorry fo bad english
regards.
I can hardly understand that... But if you want to go stock go to SamMobile.com and go to the firmware section.. Once there use the search option and look for p7500, choose a stock Rom from the list and download..
Once done, install Kies to get the drivers, with drivers installed put the tablet in Odin mode (turn it off then press volume down+power) select the download mode and connect the tablet to the computer.
Once done, open Odin and don't change any option there.. Go to pda and select the file you downloaded from SamMobile and Press start..
That's it

Over in the development thread there is this... little bit over my head, but have a like at it.

The only problem with that link you posted is that you'll need working Android OS, so you would still need to get your Tab up and running again. Also from what I've read in that link its not an Ubuntu os that runs natively on our Tabs. It sounds like it just uses your device as a host or something, it only boots up when your device is docked to a computer and uses its screen, keyboard and mouse.

Actually you just have to connect it on a screen with HDMI. No need for a computer. Somehow Ubuntu takes over when it detects HDMI out from the dock. It has to be a pretty decent device though. At least dual core and one gigabyte ram... Oh well, we just have to wait until canonical releases it!

I don't think he installed Ubuntu... I think he may have flashed the wrong rom with a different bootloader... But ya OP I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what you need and how we can go about helping you more...
Can you link us to the files you used to root and any thing you flashed to your Tab?

1.- press power + volume down until the tablet turns on into bootloader and move to downloading with volume down... Once you are in downloading press volume up and you will be in Odin mode. (look at reference image at bottom)
2.-download samsung Kies here and install to get the drivers
3.-download samsung stock rom here search for P7500 and get a rom according to your country/region once downloaded unzip it
4.-get Odin here
5.-connect your tablet to pc (check your usb wire its good and use a back motherboard usb port) , open Odin and Press PDA, in PDA put the file you downloaded from sammobile and unziped then Press start (do not change any Odin's options from the check boxes)
6.-wait until process finish and then you are back to stock close Odin and by this time the tablet should be rebooting.
if you are not able to recover your tab with all this then go pay

ok so thanks in advance yall this one really has me stuck. my sis ub law wanted me to fix her chinese version tab 3 but only thing is that its stuck in a black screen but it will charge and boot to download i cant find any info on the web nowhere...plz help, thanks alot
Wrong forum... but I'd say if you can get it to connect because USB has to be in MT mode or something for it to connect. Use kies to flash stock firmware or find the correct .md5 file and flash using Odin. I am not responsible if you flash the wrong thing....
