Sorry about not asking but I am sure I did give credit to you?

I sure hope I did! I did not see it here and it was a pain to find so I thought people could use it.

WoW that is a lot of views!

Any any case I hope you don't mind? If you want me to change something on the first post just send me a pm and I will.

Device won't reboot after HeimdallFrontEnd..

Hey all,

I followed the procedure on page one using Heimdallfrontend, but the tab doesn't reboot after it completes the flashing and gets stuck on the downloading target screen after it reaches 100 percent. Both the device progress bar and the bar on the heimdall program move together. Can't seem to find a post on here with a similar problem... After shutting it down, and turning it back on I see the phone, exclamation point, and the computer monitor screen which from what I read is the result of an error in the downloading target screen.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi all.

I've tried this fix numerous times on my AT&T Galaxy Tab with no success. Is there a similar process with similar files appropriate for the SGH-i987 AT&T Galaxy Tab? I have searched over and over, on this website and on others, with zero success.

Honestly, I'd love to just get the stock ROM back on it so I can use it again. I rooted it with no problems, but as soon as I tried a ROM to get it to 2.3 the whole thing was hosed (yeah, yeah, dog me about backups later). Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

ETA: I also tried this link in the attempt to get back my Tab. all I get is a blank screen with it. It doesn't work either.
[Galaxy Tab General] prscott1:
Hmm, you could try a t-mobile stock rom (but not the modem.bin you can get that from the modem thread) - should work. You'll just have the tmobile bloat instead of at&t bloat.

update problem sch-i800

I download and restocked my vzw tab. I am in Hungary, i use my tab only wifi. Everything is ok after the flash with heimdal, but on my tab got an OTA update message after the first boot. :-) i think it is very good news. The message : the update file is downloaded and veryfied. I pushed the update now. The tab is reboot, started a flash and goes to boot or flashloop :'(

The only way what i can take: go to download home and reflash the stock 2.2

Any idea about this problem?

The tab is slow with 2.2 and i would like to use the 2.3

otherways, i will root the tab and try to flash vzw MIUI rom ;-)

Thank you for your helpfull answer!
[Galaxy Tab General] mildlydisturbed:
It can't successfully flash from Froyo to Gingerbread via an OTA due to it no longer being stock.

Either flash 2.2 again and do not accept the OTA or download a stock rooted Gingerbread.

Whatever you do, do not accept an OTA unless you're really back at stock, and that involves a bit more than just flashing a stock unrooted ROM as you've got to also flash a stock recovery

Well what are the steps, well IDK if it's bricked but I downloaded some update software from the samsung site. Installed and ran it. Got an error messege that said update error. Now it's stuck at a black screen with a cell phone, Caution sign, and computer in that order. Samsung said they can fix it for free by re-flashing it with the original software but it would be 2 weeks before I would see it again. Can I do it myself, and if so what would I need to do, as far as threads,software, programs need for this?? I have the VZW galaxy Tab 7.0 SCH-I800
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
If you can get into download mode (power on/volume down) then there is a chance you can flash a new ROM with heimdall version 1.1.1.

Go to this thread and read a few posts at the beginning. It will tell you how.

I can't get it into download mode at all. Is there a way to take the battery out to get it to work?? I've only root my phone and a tab is a whole new ball game for me. Kinda mad that all I was trying to do is update it and this happens. I was gonna pay someone $20 to fix it for me but I still wanna see if I can do it myself. I have odin and heimdall installed on my pc and still cant find a working link for firmware. But if I can't get it to go in to DL mode it stiil would be a waste of time rite??
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
Right, you need download mode for those two to work. That link I showed you has working firmware.

Why would you think removing the battery would make a difference? Are you not able to get it powered off? Holding the power button does not do it? I know I had that problem with my phone and battery removal was the only way to get it off. You might just try letting the battery drain.

[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
I don't know of any. Someone else may know. Are you sure it's turning completely off , or just going to sleep?

You may have to bite the bullet and send it in. They open it up and use jtag to hard reset and reflash back to stock.

Will not connect to computer, ever.

Amateur ROMer: I have a successfully modded Infuse 4g and spent a year playing with ROMS.

I was handed a Verizon SCH-i800 that was boot Looping with nyancat as a loading screen.

It's too fast to read but after the loading screen appeared, it would fail to mount, and read mostly "invalid"

I could boot into CWM 5.5.0.4 and boot into download mode, but cannot connect to the comp at all!

Nothing recognizes it and I've tried everything. (Yes, everything short of buying a new cable)

so naturally, I yanked the external sd card and put CM 9.1.0p1c. CDMA stable.

install went great, see below.

Now I get the Encryption Unsuccessful Screen and or reset Loop. (x2)

Have I failed to understand a basic principal here?

Did i install the wrong version of CM9 (can't find any others WITHOUT dead links)

Do I have to un-glue internal SD?

Is there a CWM flashable version of stock VZW or anything that will work for that matter WITHOUT dead links????

Of course... you can confirm this by looking at my og post #137

Edit: I should also mention cwm updated and now its 6.x.x.x
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
No, that post says you can get into download mode with CWM. I said with heimdall, per the heimdall instructions. That means getting into download mode by booting with the volume down key and power at the same time. Then installing the heimdall drivers, etc. You just have to be persistent. If you see the download mode screen, it is a problem with getting the PC drivers set right, not your device.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
If you have cwm 6.x, you surely can flash cm9 or cm10 easily, unless you have a broken internal NAND chip.

Well, despite my persistant lack of perfect punctuation, I can get the phone into download mode, OR CWM. And I tried starting over with Samsung drivers and kies to no avail.

Allow me to outline my attempts in detail :

-Multiple combinations of DL mode boot with and without the cable plugged in, with multiple USB ports on multiple computers and fresh installs.

I.e. I've tried everything short of buying a new cable
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
It is the driver not being installed properly. And you don't need or want kies with this version of the Tab.

I have had lots of trouble getting the driver right. You just have to keep trying. Which version of heimdall are you trying? v1.1.1 works the best. Where are you getting the drivers? I think I used v1.3.550.0

Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10 on Hybrid SD
[Galaxy Tab General] Jahallah:
I will keep trying... I believe it was Samsung driver version 1.5 but I can't recall. The heimdall versions I used were 1.3.x and 1.1.1 respectively.

I can keep trying, does it matter that I have the drivers installed from my phone?

The only Unrecognized device after scanning for new hardware was coprocesser on pci bus id=0 , but I'm assuming that's the video card as amd threw an error.
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
I just played with mine some more. You have to have it plugged into the computer when you put it in download mode.

[Galaxy Tab General] Jahallah:
I did try every combination of this in multiple USB ports, one specific port that connects successfully to my infuse.

But I will keep trying.

after plying some more, I am almost 100% convinced it is the USB cable. computer doesn't flinch when plugged in while in download mode, with any program open (e.g. Heimdall 1.1.1 or1.3.x, Odin1.7, kies, and most importantly, zadig)

Yea I did try every combination of USB plugging in and download mode possible.

Does zadig have to open or closed? I've tried both but just wondering.

Also, does heimdal have a confirmation that its plugged in and or connected? Does heimdal need zadig open to flash?

That sucks to hear, do you have to reset tab now or flash stock system then reset? How does that work?

Also, what troubles me in my previous post is cyanogenmod_mtd.log reporting busybox false and failed 2 attempts to write.

Is this a bad chip?
[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
Zadig is closed when you connect and flash. And no there is no confirmation. You just have to try to flash. That is why I tried the cache. You won't know until it works.

I had to flash with heimdall a fresh copy of my rooted 2.3.5 ROM which is what I run and now I am reinstalling all my apps.

I don't think that busybox false means much. It just means it can't find it. Not really familiar with fastboot flashing which is what the Tab uses.

[Galaxy Tab General] leapinlar:
You mentioned a few posts back that CWM was up to 6.x something. Where did you get it? I have a really old version (4.x) and it did not restore mine like it should have. I finally got mine back to good shape and I want to back it up with something that works.

BTW, I was just reading on how if you want to flash a CM ROM that takes several flashes of the rom with CWM. Apparently it has to do some converting and takes multiple flashes of the ROM for it to work.

EDIT: I also learned that the newer CWM's convert your partitioning to a different structure (bml to mtd and rfs to ext4). That is so the new CM ROMs can run. That was what all that mtd writing was on your log. But it screws it up for going back to stock. That is why you need heimdall to get back to stock. It puts the partition structure back. So I am sticking to CWM 4.0.1.5 which keeps things the same since I run rooted stock. I got it now so backup and restore works.
