Softbricked, permanent Odin download mode

I have a soft bricked Galaxy Tab P7310 XEU region tablet (or at least that's the region on the other p7310 that was delivered to us at the same time). I would love ideas for what to try next.

- Currently, the tablet has only three states:

1. Normal boot ends in: phone-!-PC icon in center and text at top of screen shows:

Odin3 Download mode
(protocol v2)
Reason: Download Fail
Secure mod: secure
Check signature: uncheck
Waiting USB cable...

2. After long press on power button + volume I see download and recovery mode icons. Selecting recovery mode icon does nothing, the icon just flashes quickly. Selecting download mode takes me to state (3).

3. Download mode appears to be working, it shows Android icon and:

ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2)
Reason: Force Key
Secure mode: Nonsecure
Check signature: uncheck
Waiting USB cable...

The tablet screen does not switch off ever except when the battery is drained

- Odin recognises the tablet (yellow com light) when I plug it in, if it is in state (1) or (3) above (but not 2). However, the ROMs I have tried flashing do not work (in either state). Sample output in Odin:

<ID:0/003> Added!!
<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> P7310XXLPO_P7310XEULPO_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> boot.img.md5
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

No feedback on the tablet screen, except I get the first sliver of the blue progress bar.

I have tried with these ROMs:

samsung-updates.com Honeycomb stock - P7310XEUKJ4_P7310XXKJ4_HOME.tar.md5

ClockworkMod_Recovery_v5.5.0.4.tar

samfirmware.com ICS stock - P7310XXLPO_P7310XEULPO_XEU.tar.md5

- One-Click Heimdall Unbrick asks if the phone is connected and in download mode (it is). I have tried running One-Click unbrick from two different Win 7 x64 machines and Ubuntu 12.04 (dual boot on the first Win7 machine). The Win7 / Ubuntu dual boot machine is a laptop, I tried on all ports. The other win7 machine is a desktop, I tried a rear port.

- I have also tried the Heimdall utilities - "detect device" works; but "print pit" does not. This also from Win7 and Ubuntu.

- Originally tablet was on Honeycomb. I managed to root and install CWM recovery but never managed to install a complete ROM (was hoping to upgrade to ICS / JB). Where it all went wrong is confusing but I think it was the CWM app from the market (can't remember if trouble was immediate but other threads here complain about that app on Galaxy Tab 8.9).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nemov:
I am not an expert at all, in fact a noob to all this, but I did read on this forum (not sure where now) about the file name needing to end in: .tar so maybe the files you have are misnamed? I'm probably wrong but thought I would mention it.

soft bricked maybe?

So I successfully rooted my at&t galaxy tab 8.9 using Odin, I then proceeded to flash a from for ics which ended up being a telus rom but it worked fine, the problem came when I tried to re-root usin Odin my tab got to the reboot process, flashed the Samsung logo twice, then black screen, I can reboot it and it will do that again, but I cannot get it into recovery or download mode, any recommendations?

Ok, long story short. Got the i957 from rogers, thinking it was one of the 7000 models. Noticed the OTA software notification and said ok before I hit XDA in regards to root. Now it appears I am stuck with unrootable ICS, no big deal i thought to myself, will flash the original honeycomb firmware and take root from there. But cant find ANYWHERE a download for 3.2.

Anyone know where the original 3.2 firmware can be located? Frustrated with this one...

Hi guys,

I bought this 5 in 1 OTG from ebay where it says it would work with the P7310. I got it today, but had to find out it wasn't. I've read reviews which said it works.

Currently I'm on CM10 with it's custom kernel. Hope someone can help me.

Hi Guys - I'm new so I hope it is OK to ask questions.

I upgraded my WIFI Galaxy Tab 8.9 over the weekend to ICS. Straight away, I couldn't connect to the play store, kept giving me a warning message.

I decided it was a good idea to do a factory reset (it reset all my homescreens anyway) but ever since, I cannot connect to my google account at all, whether on the first set up, or trying to sign in later, i cannot access youtube/maps apps, etc. So basically, I can't do a great deal of anything.

The message I get is:

Couldn't sign in.

Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.

This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.

I've tried this on other WiFi networks, to no avail. The time and date are also accurate.

I've searched the forum and can't see anything which relates to this device and which solves the problem.

Has anyone else had this? or does anyone have any advice for how to solve this? I've never rooted it or anything like that, but I am willing to try anything to get it working again. I was quite liking ICS too

Thanks in advance :)

Battery

How come my battery meter is so weird? Today I charged it and it stuck at around 40 % for several hours. Yet when I restarted it was on 97%. Then later it rapidly decreased to 1 % staying there for a long time, then it went up to 4% and finally it died.

I bought it second hand and there is a custom rom installed.

What to do?

Ok, I was hoping to find the easy solution, but no luck.

Having bought my wife a new tablet, I've inherited her at&t i957 lte 8.9. It's still running stock, but I hate leaving anything stock, so I figured I'd trash it and start over and upgrade the rom. So I've factory reset it and I want to connect to odin, but no such luck, 3 pcs will not recognize it. I'm using the Samsung cable and once it came up and said that it wasn't recognized, but otherwise I get nothing. I installed the usb drivers, tried different machines' different usb ports, but I'm getting nowhere.

It WILL beep when I connect it like it is charging, so I don't know if it's the cable. If I can't connect, is there another way to update the recovery? I tried using goo, but that fc's on me.

Thanks for any ideas.

A1 Kernel V1.8.3b

Hi peoples

I installed A1 Kernel V1.8.3b onto Safariking's StockRom_Discovery V6.0.1.

As far as I can see the installation was successful, because I can see the correct kernel and ROM details in the system info, however the root wasn't working and it doesn't appear to be overclocked or have extra memory etc.

I installed kk_root_ics.zip which then fixed the issue with the tab not being rooted, but the system is still not overclocked. Am I missing something? Everything seems stable, however, I can't really see any difference compared to stock Open Austria ROM I previously had installed. (I does seem a little smoother I guess, but thats it). I have the 3G firmware and kernel on the WiFi version of the tab, but this hasn't caused any problems for me, I just put it into flight mode to disable mobile data.

Any ideas? I'd like to overclock to improve performance.

thanks

Edit: nvm, i worked it out. I've installed no frills cpu control and now i can access the frequency settings :) all working as indended.

Missing "Tethering & portable hotspot" Option

Hi everyone,

I just got an ATT SGH-I957 (Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE). I updated it to the official ICS with Kies, all is good.

Now it looks like the “Tethering & portable hotspot” option is missing from Wireless & Networks > More page

I am fearing ATT has removed that option so I wanted to know:

1) If anyone has confirmation that it is the case.

2) If so, is it something we can ask ATT to restore under certain conditions (I saw for cell phone a 5Gb share plan is supposed to give you the option).

3) Will Unlocking the tablet carrier (which I plan to do for when I travel) and use a carrier that allows tethering (like T-Mobile) bring the Option Back.

4) If not, is there a way to get that option back manually (App or other).

Appreciate any feedback as this is a pretty critical feature I need on that tablet.

Happy New year to all.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] fred_be9300:
yes, but ONLY use kernels that are made for your device. Downgrade to stock will probably require you to reflash the ROM you are on, although some ROM owners have created separate 'kernel-only' zips to flash back

Probably not! 7320 is different hardware; while 7300 and 7310 are very alike.

Accelerometer calibration

So I have been searching and couldn't get an answer.

My Tab 8.9 WiFi 4.0.4 stock has an incorrect calibration of the accelerometer/gyroscope, every time I use an app to check the level, is off by 6-10°, this annoys when playing games. How do I calibrate it again? Been using also a 10.1 with Honeycomb and that one has the option to calibrate from the settings menu... I guess that option was cut off from the ICS update.

I want to upgrade to ICS but I understand I need to have the stock rom on my tab. I've rooted my SGH-i957 and when I try to connect to KIES it says my device is not recognized. Apparently I need to go back to stock to get kies to recognize it.
