[Galaxy Tab General] oOoHELAoOo:
NOTE : this is not my own procedure but i just wanna share this with you guys since some tab users here are having problems restocking their tab to gingerbread, i have also added some notes and troubleshooting in case there will be an issue flashing the rom

link to the original post credits of course to the writer > how to restock p1000 to gingerbread 2.3

btw, this is a complete and full tutorial/step-by-step guide on how to restock gingerbread rom, so if you did not download all requirements, restocking wont be successful

my story and experience : hey guys, yesterday night, i softbricked my galaxy tab p1000 which was running cm9, it turned out like that when i went to recovery and wipe all data, cache, dalvik, even system, and boot. i tried reflashing the cm9.zip but as it was installing its update, my tab suddenly boot into battery icon, meaning it was already empty (maybe, dont have any idea), then, since it was already 12 midnight, there were no internet cafes open in our village, so i went out though somehow it might be dangerous for me, then, i found an internet cafe open. i rent a pc, first, i tried to go to download mode, so some drivers will be installed, but it kept showing "unkown device recognized" bla bla.. still.. i didnt lose hope. so i searched on google, and i found this site > http://suzhipackz.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-re-stock-samsung-galaxy-tab.html , when i finished downloading odin, i opened it to check whether it will read my device or not, first three attempts, it did not. so, i thought of downloading samsung kies so the drivers will be installed (safest way really to install samsung drivers), then i still looked for a smaller file (while waiting for kies to complete its download), then i found that there is a smaller zip file for you to install samsung drivers (see attachment below), i installed it, but still odin cant detect my device (try it, might be just on the pc i rented), so i just waited for kies to complete.. after a couple of minutes, successfully downloaded kies, and installed it. i tried connecting tab to pc with odin opened, i rebooted to download mode again and reconnect tab to pc, and voila! odin read my device! so, since pc has already detected my device, i just waited about 1 1/2 hours for the rom and the pit file and the db data file.... after almost 2 and half hours of crossing fingers, i have revived my tab and restocked it to gingebread 2.3! :)

.......click on the PDA and select - p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjpz in your computer

.......clink on the PIT and select - gt-p1000_mr_PIT

.......Check only RE-PARTITION, "uncheck auto reboot and f.reset time"

.......if DOWNLOADING APPEAR leave it like that

.......now, connect you tab in computer

.......if ODIN detects your phone PRESS START in ODIN

.......wait for it until success, after that disconnect your tab

(if for an instance it stuck on downloading mode but you have already finished flashing, do not worry, you just have to manually hold the power button for it to boot up, it might get into recovery, so please reboot the system (it might also be a touch recovery so please tab the home touch key to continue) then if it keeps on booting on "samsung", do not worry, you are not done yet with the restocking procedure, so please proceed to the next step)

.......press and hold power button until it will turn off

.......open ODIN3 v1.7 again

.......UNCHECK it all "re-partition, auto reboot, f.reset time"

.......click on the PDA and select dbdata.zip

.......press and hold "VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON" again

.......if DOWNLOADING APPEAR leave it like that

.......now, connect your tab again

.......if ODIN detects your phone PRESS START in ODIN

.......wait for it until success, after that disconnect your tab

(again, if it is stuck on downloading mode but you have successfully done the flashing, hold power key to turn the tab on, and if it keeps on booting to "samsung" again, do the next step)

.......This time we will go to CLOCKWORKMOD by holding "VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON"

(then wipe data, and wipe cache, (volume keys to scroll up or down, and home touch key to select) and reboot system, wait for a minute or two and home screen will now appear)

.........................................NOW YOUR IN STOCK ROM AGAIN 2.3.3 GINGER BREAD

another note : when there is an error for example that flashed on your tab screen like a color red "E:\ " something like that, do not worry, it is the external sd card (i dont have one so it was an error then but not a problem, no worries) just let it be, wait until it finishes

some files are already attached below coz they are just small in size

clicking "thanks" button is enough for me..

just sharing this with you guys...

happy restocking!! :laugh:
