[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Hey all. There's a lot knowledgeable folks around here, so I thought I'd see if I can get some help on my problem.

I've got a Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi (GT-P7510, non-branded, UEKME), that I rooted about two months ago, using the instructions found on the Android Forums (can't post a link, but ti's the basic easy way to root, using Odin3). Not a superuser, but wanted to be able to back up everything. Seemed easy enough and the rooting went fine.

Haven't done anything else to it, aside from installing a few run of the mill apps. It did auto-update a couple of times.

Was working fine, now it just got stuck on this screen with a message:

ODIN3 Download Mode
(Protocol v2.1)

Reason: No Kernal
Secure Mode: Secure
Check Signature: Check
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)
Custom Binary: Samsung Official
Waitting USB Cable...

Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!

Apparently, it went to this screen while I was away. I didn't see it until I picked it up and there it was. It comes to this screen after the Samsung title screen (not the animation) and a VERY quick screen with some red writing (goes by too fast to see what it says).

I tried to follow the original instructions again. Put the tab in download mode (power + volume down), open Odin3, select the md5, and hit start. Get a FAIL with this message:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> recovery-cwm_4.0.0.4-sam-tab-10.1.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/004> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/004>
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

The screen on the tab updates with this:

WritePArtition: Error to NvStorMgrFileWrite![err:0x30000]
DownloadPartition_odin: Error to WritePartition![err:0x30000]
Tegra_Nand_Write: Error to DownloadPartition_odin![err:0x30000]

That's as far as I've gotten. I noticed the Re-Partition option is not checked in Odin3, and the errors on the tab have to do with partitions... but didn't want to do that if I could eff it up even more.

I'm also wondering if one of the auto-updates didn't muck up the works. Maybe messed with my bootloader? Again, didn't want to go doing dangerous things without some reassurance. Also, I can't get into recovery mode; it just kinda flashes when I hit the button and stays on the option screen for download/recovery.

Any direction on how to proceed?

Any advice would be so great. It's been like this for about a week and I can't find any help. Thanks everyone.

TL;DR: Stuck in Download Mode, get errors on re-root.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
This helped me and I've seen it help many others too in similar situations. Since you're stuck in download mode already it might need to be adjusted and followed from somewhere other than the beginning.

Goto http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5

Towards the bottom of the guide There is a section called Restocking yer system.

Follow that on down.

Make sure you use the files for you device (7500 or 7510).

Make sure you triple check that you follow everything as suggested. The most common one I see missed is the last step of doing a Wipe data/factory reset.

Let us know how it goes, as this keeps us trying to help when we know we're successful.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
You have an incomplete bootsector the bootloader is broken but ofcourse your recovery is safe. Just flash a stock firmware on top of it, or flash CWM. You don't have to worry about the options being checked as Odin 1.83 onwards fixes this issue.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Well, I was really hopeful when I read your response and read through the guide, but alas, I still got the FAIL when running Odin.

Aside from the rom, what else is there? I know of bootloaders, but not their function or how they work, and undersstand that loading the incorrect one (or incorrectly) can really make my tab a brick.

Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help so far, maybe we can get this thing working. It's a shame - I've only had it for a couple of months...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Is there any other way to flash my firmware and/or repair my bootsector/bootloader?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
If you followed what I posted, and triple checked every step and check box in the guide was exactly what you did, then I'm lost for other suggestions. Misledz is on a different time than here, so you can either try my process again, if that's what you used, making sure you do evrything as said in the restocking yer system guide on down or wait for more help. :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Yeah, I was hoping because it was a really well written guide with links to the correct files right there that I'd have some luck. The directions are pretty straightforward, so I don't think I missed anything, but I can certainly try again.

Thanks, I'll update in a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
I think I'm going to have to wait to see if Misledz has any other suggestions - I just tried it again and got the same fail.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Sorry that sucks. :(

Hope Misledz or someone comes along for you.

Best of luck.

Edit: Looking at the Odin repartition error makes me think it may be a full hardware failure issue. But there is still hope with the right files or method for it to be fixed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coffeebeans:
I can't find it, but there was another thread here with the same "Reason: No Kernal" error and I think it turned out to be a hardware failure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Sorry well yeah I've been on offset timezone's and I tend to check this section regularly as I hope to learn more about the tablet In hopes I can get some development done on it.

In the sense I'll assure you that you can't really brick the tablet as they are somewhat hard to brick via software, unless you install a firmware that isn't compatible (Like a 7500 on a 7510) or like wipe the bootloader. Put it this way anything done in download mode is safe.

Now to your query. It can't be a hardware issue because as you can see the tablet itself boots perfectly to Odin.

I would suggest skipping the v4 of CWM and flash the v5

[http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv]

and

http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=15

Normally errors like this occur only because of cases like ramdisk being different. One is the 5.1 and the other is the 5.5 version, I suggest it's best to try both. I feel you will have better luck testing both. No worries they are both safe and the 4.0.4 has some issues as far as some tablet's are concerned.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
That's reassuring.

I notice the second file is in a p7500 directory. I'm guessing this is an all-encompassing directory with p7500 and 7510 files?

EDIT: I see that the file is for all versions (75xx). Thanks.

I'm at work now, but I'll try it when I get home and give an update.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

*fingers crossed*
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Dammit. No luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brieuwers:
Did you already tried flashing with a pit file?

Flash with pit will rebuild your partitions.

When loading pit file repartition will automaticaly be select.

Do not repartion without pit file or your device will become abrick.

After flash with pit file you will see a lot of errors this is normal

And will be fixed after factory reset.

Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
If you check out his screen shot posted above it shows he used a pit file at least in one attempt ;)

He's still having issues so your help with this would be and is highly needed and appreciated. :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
I've used the pit file and tar file from the guide that Benzoman directed me to. I also tried using the updated CWMs that were suggested (although a pit file wasn't included).

I had installed the windows drivers a while back, but just installed the Kies. Interestingly, after that, I tried flashing again and, although it still failed, it took a lot longer (as opposed to almost instantly). Almost thought I had it for a second...

Am I right in thinking that I can use the pit file from the guide and the tar file from CWM together?

Slightly off-topic; what's the purpose of flashing a bootloader? That's one thing I haven't tried yet.

Thank you for your continued help. I would have lost all hope by now if it weren't for you and this forum.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
So is it all good? I don't tend to like leaving people who need help :P Especially when it's also educational for me.

Flashing a bootloader wouldn't be advisable cause it may really brick the tab.

You don't really need to pit file as it is used for repartioning, flashing just the PDA is good enough
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
No, it's still stuck. :( It seems like any pit file I try doesn't work, which was why I was asking about the bootloaders (I know it's dangerous, but for all intents and purposes, it's already bricked).

I don't know what else to do; I was hoping the updated CWM would help, but it runs into the same problem the other pda files have. I'd be more than happy to try any other suggestions you may have.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
I don't know if it's any help, but I was able to capture the really quick flash of red text as it boots. See attachment.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benzoman:
Sorry over my head, but hopefully Someone will look at the error and know what's going on.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Don't worry, all of this is over my head. I appreciate you trying to help though :)

A google search for "Check_OTA_MAGIC" brought up a whopping two results, only one of which is of any use (for this forum, surprise, surprise).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Ok I have bad news for you, as to why it doesn't work. You may not like this.

The internal storage is messed up, I was wondering why this happened, and I was figuring out different solutions as to looking at every screenshot of your's I noticed that in your first code you pasted there was and error in nand write, and I searched all over if anyone else got this issue, so i referred to a friend who works in Samsung, and he mentioned that if ever there was a red text on top it meant in term's of R/W being read and write, you don't get "Write" progress.

He also mentioned that the internal storage was either damaged which is why the tablet can't even be repartitioned or flashed with a stock firmware. It's like trying to install an OS without an HDD. He said the best solution was if you were under warranty you can get the internal hdd replaced. Chances are you might get a 64GB storage. It happens. Most of the people I know who had the Galaxy S (When I was bound there) they had factory fault's and when they sent in their 4GB internal memory phone's it came back with 16GB instead. We thought it was a mistake, turn's out 5 have gotten the same results.

Hope for the best mate.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stusic:
Ouch, not good news.

It is under warranty, but I'm thinking... since the internal storage is trashed, they won't be able to tell I've rooted it...

Not good news, but feel better now that the problem's been resolved. I appreciate everyone's help, especially you, Misledz. Thanks a heap.

Now to send off my tablet and see what Samsung says...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
In a way this usually is bound to happen, due to the ignorance of samsung in not adding micro sd port to store most of your data there, it's a shame because if you had important data on the tablet there's no way to grasp it when the tablet meet's it's doomsday.

As for the root, there's no real way to tell? Because the busybox get's written onto a sector in the hardisk and rooting changes the read only settings for the phone's internal files, from read only to R/W. And since the HDD is trashed, well yeah :P pretty self explanatory

Glad I could be of help but sorry it didn't turn out as planned. Maybe that red text was telling all along that it couldn't read a boot sector.

Here's hoping for the best :)

Cheers

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi - GT-P7510 stuck in ODIN3 Download Mode

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi - GT-P7510 Model.

When I turn it on, it goes straight into Odin download mode by itself. Can't I somehow reformat the partition to wipe it out and start fresh? I have a feeling the tablet ran out of space and crashed. Now I can't write anything to it because there is no space. I don't care if I have to erase everything, but how can I repartition/reformat/re-apply the stock ROM from this situation? (It had the stock ROM when this happened btw, but it was rooted.) Odin appears to connect, but can't seem to write anything. I am not sure which version of Odin to use and which file to load and which check-box to check/uncheck because everything online seems to be all over the place with this subject. Anyone have any ideas or run into this similar issue? This is what I see when I try to load a PDA tar:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eushaun99:
Can you go into recovery mode? If so, then try doing a factory reset. BTW, this is the version of Odin then I use. You can try it if you want. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dib0w993qc284ki/Odin3v1.87.zip

You probably need a pit file for this but I'm not an expert here. Maybe [MENTION=4799887]Soryuu[/MENTION] can help you out.

Edit: OK nvm, I just read the whole thread, and it seems that you have to sent it back to Samsung to replace the internal storage.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
I've never come across or even heard of this problem, so I'm sorry but I don't quite know what can be done. There have been other people who hae had this problem across various forums, and only one person seems to have ever solved it somehow. You could PM them and see how they fixed the problem.

I can only really go by what was on the previous page, what [MENTION=4118822]Misledz[/MENTION] said:

Once again I'm sorry I can't help any further than this. I've never seen something like it, but as Misledz said it seems to be internal storage failure.

Progress bar... Stuck in Odin Download Mode --> Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi GT-P7510

Thanks Soryuu, Misledz, Stusic, and others posting to help with this over time. Unfortunately, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not under warranty so it may not make sense to send it like Stusic did. :-/

I am hoping someone can reverse engineer this thing to figure out the Nand Write. (Maybe [MENTION=1385883]pershoot[/MENTION] can help?)

I did notice something if it helps anyone on here....

I now have:

Odin1.85

Odin1.87

Odin3.04

Odin3.07

Odin3.09

I noticed if I tried to flash the stock bootloader on all Odin's except 3.07, the progress bar only moves a little bit and I get the usual write error problem codes I and others have posted. 3.07 did something different.... the progress bar pretty much got to 100% and then it crashed. Plus, the Red part of the error message looked slightly different (it had 2 more lines) if it might mean something:

I took my tab to local repairman but he coulndt fix it, he said that probably needs to replace motherboard or bootloader microship, so i had two choises: send tab to other town, hope that it will be repaired and pay quite money or sell it for parts.

Hey guys,

As you all know, the reason for the limited development in the Infuse and many other Samsung device forums is Samsung's lack of care for developers. People here at XDA have created a petition for Samsung. Here is the OP by codeworkx: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23104279&postcount=9571

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Not in the past year - in early-mid 2011 they started locking their bootloaders.

After the backlash - They claimed they would stop doing it, but then the Vivid launched in October with a locked bootloader.

Sony, however, have gone "above and beyond" in terms of supporting developers, as a result their 2011 lineup is fully supported by CM, and they are the ONLY manufacturer to release alpha and beta tests officially (no leaks, actual official releases) complete with kernel source code.

My next phone will be a Sony or a Nexus unless things change.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] climberalex:
I agree 100% my next device will be Sony, especially now that Ericcison has been bought out.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Actually, given Sony's traditional track record, them buying out Ericsson's share worries me.

Sony's handling of their mobile division (at least with respect to developer communities) has been, well... Very un-Sony-like, and it has been my assumption that Ericsson had a role in that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] climberalex:
I never took into account Ericsson's hand being the one reaching out to the developer community... i always just assumed Sony had started listening to their buyers. I guess I should have known better. Well this definitely doesn't help me in deciding what OEM to go with next.
