[Galaxy Tab General] HKaz:
I'm in the same boat as you. My company is upgrading to the newish 4g devices so i've literally got a box of these under my desk (100+). I don't have Odin, but I did manage to find a copy of Hiemdall 1.30 and a hopefully stock-ish ROM on an old server. Instead of initially just using something simple like Airwatch to manage these things, they flashed a custom and didn't think about any future repercussions. I'd kill for a simple RUU for these ****ers just so I could use them for overglorified book readers.

I'll test this and see what I get and update.

Update/Edit: Well the version I had on the server barfed when the OTA update was applied. Got stuck in a continuous boot/update loop. Used this version of stock ( https:// docs.google.com/file/d/0By5pF101cmHZN21mUTNwUDhiRUU/edit?pli=1 ) and Heimdall 1.4.0. So far so good. Take the space out since I'm under 10 posts ><.
[Galaxy Tab General] Terror_1:
Here's what I've got, someone on the forum uploaded it to Mega for me and i've since created a mirror of it, should restore these back to stock but I haven't tested it personally yet.

[Galaxy Tab General] HKaz:
I'll test it out over the weekend if I've got time as well. Thank you very much. Looks like the one I linked is stock-ish. Its already rooted, but for some reason I can't get anything but the stock recovery working.Could just be my devices or Heimdall being pissy.

Hey guys I soft bricked my moms Galaxy Tab 10.1 Verizon (SCH-I905) and nothing on this page helped me get it back up but I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342995

Flashed via ODIN, I did lose all data but the Tab is back up and running.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Been about 10 years, anyone still on this thread? I have a Galaxy Tab E Model t378v. It's a Verizon Locked tablet and it has MobiControl set on it (Got scammed online). Anyone got any tips?
[Galaxy Tab General] themikeg:
I would class this as a n00b question, but;

So does this wipe out the ext4 file partition (reformat it) or does that stay ext4 I did the bootstrap app.
[Galaxy Tab General] dnavia:
I would also like to ask if these instructions reverse the ext4 conversion that the Recover Bootstrap App in the Market does? Or, is there a way to find out which file system a tab is using?

i flash european firmware jm6 but my tab cant open. i made it like first post. and galaxy tab open. really thanks. android warning and doesnt work but when i factory reset. it fixed.

thanks. but i have a question. left buttons on bottom of galaxy tab cant work! why :(
[Galaxy Tab General] EasyAndy:
First of all thanks for the post as it is the only place I could find Heimdall as the website of the developers is down. I understand the insturctions completely and am ready to run Heimdall to recover my galaxy tab to stock. I used the Verizon bootstrapper and the tab was stuck in the splash screen and could not get into recovery although I was able to get into download mode. It was getting really late and I decided to go to bed and tackle the problem in the morning. Woken up fresh and ready to recover my tab I downloaded all of the approiate files and went the the preliminary steps to set up my computer. Here is where I am running into my problem, the tab will no longer get to the splash screen or into downloading mode. when I hold down vol + or - with power the tab just stays in a blank screen. I turned off the tab last night so I dont think the battery died but am not sure. The only screen I can seem to see is when I plug the tab into the computer or wall socket a screen with an empty battery with a segmented circle in the center appears (this seems to take some time to appear after I plug it in). I can get this screen to go away by pressing the power button for some time but cant do anything else. Please help or I'm afraid I have a very expensive paper weight.

i rooted with z4root and bootstrapped my wifes galaxy tab and she received and accepted the update, i dont know what exactly she did after that but it would not boot up so i followed the instructions to restore back to stock wit the 4 files using heimdall but still no boot and now no CWM. it just flashes the VZW logo over and over again. did i do something wrong here?

What did you end up doing? I am still stuck at the VZW logo until it vibrates a couple times then reboots the VZW logo. After I flashed with Heimdall I wiped data/cache and still get the loop. Please assist...

Just to confirm, this works with US Cellular branded tabs? Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] stevieraveon:
Yes, I did this on my US Cellular device. The only issue I've seen is that the update that Verizon pushed out (not Gingerbread) won't update on our device.

See mine and wwz7777's comments on pages 3-5 of this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033586

Let me know if the update goes through for you.
[Galaxy Tab General] roth140:

Verizon Galaxy Tab Boots to splash then sceen goes black No recovery

After Following guide 100% on my Verizon Galaxy tab i get splash logo then screen goes black doesnt boot loop just goes black.

i try to boot into recovery and just black screen?

i can still get into download screen so i assume i can still save this thing but so far all efforts have failed me.

any help?:(

Update** let it sit on for a few minutes and it does boot loop.. takes a few minutes each time but it does boot loop
[Galaxy Tab General] Satava:
I'm having the same exact issue. The revert to stock isn't unrooting the device or removing the SU app.

I want to be able to return this thing to VZW (it's not broken, I just don't like it)
[Galaxy Tab General] qipengart:
This method didn't work for me. I only got an empty battery logo with a spinning circle and can't get into recovery :(
[Galaxy Tab General] rickycodie:
i have used super one click to remove the super user, you have to root it and then remove superuser. i can't update either, though this will make the device returnable.
[Galaxy Tab General] Syn Ack:
I would really love an Odin version of this. Can't stand Heimdall and everything that you have to do to get it to work.
[Galaxy Tab General] rickycodie:
i found the orignial stock non rooted and updatable files. i already tried it and my tab updated just fine. download from the media fire link all the others are 404.

the zImage goes in both the Kernel AND Recovery slot.

The factoryfs.rfs goes in Factoryfs

The Param.lfs goes in Param.lfs make sure you use param.ifs not param.rfs

and the cache.rfs goes in the cache slot.

ignore the rest of the files in the zip and just use those.

make sure you wipe the data and cache to make the tab think you haven't already tried to update.

the files to restore to ec02 are here :http: //www. droidforums .net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/140735-fix-verizon-update.html

Hey guys. I was having a problem updating after restoring and i found a website that said you needed to change the wpa_supplicant. Here is the website to download it from. It worked on mine. I have to root it again but i did update to ec02 successfully.

I use the Root Explorer app method to replace the file as it suggested.

[Galaxy Tab General] alforque:
Thanks for this tutorial! Per our discussions on your Blog (jamesriter.com/blog/2011/02/27/how-to-restore-verizon-galaxy-tab-back-to-stock/), I'm halfway there. Looks like I need to find a way to get a different recovery on there. Or maybe find a way to flash a different ROM.

Here's a video of me wresting with (probably my fifth time) restoring the Tab to stock. (youtube.com/watch?v=5eNLh6wu0ZE)

P.S. I'd link to these items, but XDA won't let me until I have over 8 posts.

Failed to access device. Error: -12

I was attempting to load a new kernel and rom to my rooted GTab which was already running a 3.0 Honeycomb ROM and started the process by flashing the kernel first. The end result was that it flashed and would no longer come up so that I could then flash the complimentary rom for it. I am able to put the unit into 'download' mode and my windows 7 sees it as the "samsung usb composite device". however when I set up Heimdall with the appropriate files and then hit start I get "Failed to access device. Error: -12".

I have unplugged the tab, shutdown, closed Heimdall and restarted the process several times but always get the same error.

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch for any assistance you can provide... also... is there a 'live' chat room for the Galaxy Tab on IRC?

VZW Samsung Galaxy Tablet SCH-I800

Hello everyone.

I followed these instructions to the T and I am getting the Samsung Galaxy Logo Screen and then a bunch of jumbled fast moving lines, then nothing, just a black screen.

I first tried to upgrade to the Gingerbread OS. That didn't work out so well. So, I wanted to come back to Froyo.

I think what's happening, and I could be way off, but it's using the Gingerbread boot as that is what I updated earlier (both primary and secondary). It is not bringing up the Verizon screen like it used to.

Any ideas? I feel like I need to update it with the Verizon stock bootloader, but I can't find it anywhere.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] TL MILLER:
Great tutorial! Did this after my tab bricked... Bootloop. Sent it to samsung and they replaed my pba for free. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab General] hdokes:
Now in perpetual bootloop

Ok... I was able to overcome the error -12 reported within heimdall by closing heimdall and reloading the proper driver using zadig.exe.

heimdall was then allowed to connect to the device and complete the flashing of all necessary files with success. Upon reboot of the device however, I get the verizon logo and you can definitely see the unit is stuck in a loop at the logo.

I also put it in recovery mode and cleared data and cache and the unit came back up into stock.

Thanks a bunch... my first semi-bricked successful recovery!
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
Need help followed this tutorial needless to say it didn't work yet....but my error is "unable to mount sdcard /android.secure/!" Dont know what else to do. It was giving more errors before I tried this. My original mistake is I tried the gngrbread flash (euro) on my SCH I800 galaxy tab...help me please.....yes I know I am a big dummy
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
1. download heimdall. get it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755265

2. download the stock verizon files. get them here: http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/GT/Mirror/Recovery/CDMA/Verizon/VZW Stock/

you need all four files.

3. download the drivers for the samsung sch-i800. find those here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...G_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.3.350.0.exe

4. unzip heimdall. go into the drivers folder, and run zadig.exe. at the top, select 'list all devices'. go to the dropdown menu, and select Samsung Composite USB (i'm pretty sure that's what it was called.) click start, and let it run.

5. open the heimdall front end.

6. put system in system (if you're flashing to ec02, then put factory in system)

put cache into cache

put param into param

put the zimage into both the kernel and recovery slots.

7. turn your tab off, and plug it into the computer using USB. hold down the power and the volume down buttons until you see the little droid dude with a shovel.

8. click the start button on heimdall.

9. wait for the flash to complete (don't unplug your device, obviously, during the flashing.) once your phone reboots, it's okay to unplug it.

10. now, boot into the stock recovery, and wipe data and cache. reboot, and update to ec02.

11. enable usb debugging.

12. plug your phone back in to the computer.

13. now run superoneclick for root. get that here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

14. either play with it in stock, or go find oldmacnut's excellent Better Than Life Rom, and follow the instructions to flash that.

15. enjoy your tab!
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
Thanks bro, followed this to the letter but I get the Android symbol and then a bunch of squiggly lines it will not let me boot in to recovery... I do power volume up and I get a battery icon or a bunch of colored lines flashing in the screen for a few seconds.. i flashed this file (CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.tar) and then i get the CWM recovery but it takes me back to my original error unable to mount......android.secure....I learned one thing .... read the post and make sure your tab is compatible with flash... I miss my tab...LOL..one nice thing Samsung said I could send it in because its under warranty...now lets hope they don't find our I flashed it!!!!!LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
by the way i couldn't use your link for the image and rfs files (verizon stock) they don't download they just open a new web page with a bunch of symbols...!!!!!???? But i found them on the Ritter site.... I think that's part of my problem I am not getting good files to flash ....I am one step away or one shipment away...I'd rather unbrick myself....LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
they're zips, so they should automatically download when you click them.

the colored lines is okay. keep holding the vol up, and you'll get into recovery.
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
nope they don't download they just open a page that starts a random letter and character procedure....????? that's my luck.... the phone just turns off or keeps looping. I hold the volume up and then I hold the power button as soon as I see the Samsung logo i release the power button, but then nothing???????? Wow i really have a nice paper weight for now......hopefully things will get better...how long for volume up more than 2 minutes??????
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
Oh yeah one interesting thing did happen, my Galaxy Tab starting talking....some lady said backup operation 4 minutes...cooperation....reset successful..something like that ...needless to say my heart was racing with joy, but then reality struck and I was back to paper weight status....LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
the lady talking is your voodoo kernel flashing. that's a good thing. but if the voodoo kernel is flashing, that means the stock kernel isn't.

put yourself back in download mode. go to /http://www.blackmugmedia.com/Android/GT/Mirror/Recovery/CDMA/Verizon/VZW%20Stock/ and open that folder, then right click on each file. save it to your desktop or whatever. then follow my list from above.
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
I just want to say thanks for your help and patience but that link is not working... i click them they open a web page; I right click them they download a .html file. I changed the extnension to rfs or lfs and it doesn't help....just my luck bro... NONE.... I can't get it to do anything with the stock files because it won't go into recovery... and if it does go to recovery when i load that CMW file it gives the unable to mount sd card. I took the sdcard out and it gives the same error... unable to mount sdcard... I know it works because I see all these other posts with happy campers... I am Yogi Bear with no picnic basket.....LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:

[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
same thing with firefox ....chrome never starts the download but it does show the correct file extension???????? Yeah this tab will run I'm determined now....LOL
[Galaxy Tab General] anayajade:
Update, ran it again and this time it turned on to a different download screen a picture of a phone with a computer showing a broken connection in between....but the power buttton didn't work .... so i just reflashed it like that again and it showed successful flash and then back to squiggly flashing screen.....ugh....I'm loving this...my wife is not yelling at me yet so hey...I'm cool!!!!!!LOL

Samsung bound bro. I must say thank you for all your help.... at the end i went in to CWM and formatted system, cache and whatever else i could format; it still would not let me access sd card??? anyway did the stock flash and again I could never get it in to recovery to factory reset....how long do you have to hold the up volume?????? I get the fuzzy lines and then a battery icon.... oh well I tried now lets hope samsung has no questions...... Getting the Acer A500.... will flash that to .... I ain't skurrrrrred! Thank you again!
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
if you get the battery icon, unplug it. then hold the vol up, press power til you see the samsung logo, then release power, and keep holding vol up. you should see fuzzy lines, then the samsung logo again for a bit, and then you should be in stock recovery. (which is green, if i'm not mistaken.) if that works, then you wipe data and cache, and reboot system. and you should be good to go. (this is assuming you haven't actually already mailed it. if so, good luck!)
[Galaxy Tab General] LunizWVU:
I was having a helluva time figuring out why the files I was trying to use with Heimdall weren't working and didn't seem match the text other unbrick tutorials were showing. Yours actually had a SCREENSHOT though which allowed me to realize I was using version 1.3 instead of version 1.1.

I went and downloaded the old version and now all is good again.

Thanks man, much appreciated.

TAB not properly restored

I have 4 demon Galaxy Tabs I'm working with... about 200 others are fine. Not joking.

Here's what these do - I do this restore, all the programs that were removed from the old tabs are restored, but also a program we use on all of them is still there - it never gets deleted. You can uninstall it, reboot, and it's back.

Reboot and it asks you to do the initial setup again... basically it's like nothing ever *sticks*

I can install programs and remove them, but anything from the demon install stays... I looked for rotohammer but it's not at the download link anymore.Can't find anything to totally wipe everything... always comes back up with the wifi password (old data, not linked to a google account), old program, and asking me to log in.
