I want to test albertwertz' theory that the problem where some NT's don't boot off SD can be fixed with an intentional brick of a stock NT. Problem is I can't get mine to stock. The unroot app doesn't work on mine for some reason. I've tried with the NT still rooted and it didn't work.
Therefore i need to find a stock ROM and the only one i found has a MD5 mismatch.
Or, I suppose, a solid process for unrooting would also work if anyone knows how to do that..
thanks for the help, If i figure this out I'll make a how to thead.

Alright, I have some weird things going on in my galaxy tab. I think its bricked, but if it is, its definitely only soft bricked.
Figured I'd post a video showing stuff as I cant really explain it. It shows up in my windows, so i can access inside it, but i have no idea what to do, it shows up in Kies, too
I'm wanting to hopefully make it usable, and if not usable AT LEAST get rid of clockwork mod recovery so I can return it!
So how do i fix my tab?
(note i was following the samsunggalaxytabhacks unrooting guide when I did this, I cant link b/c new
7510, btw
did you flash anything prior to this happening? I ask as I used the wrong kernel one time, one that wasn't for TW and when I rebooted it did the exact same thing... Did you make a backup?
Try to d/l one of the custom roms, since kies can see it, place the zip on sdcard and follow the OP to install it.
yeah im pretty sure i used the 3g model/non touchwiz kernal and this happened! i cleared m device, thinking it would fix it i guess i lost my backup!
go to roms section on 10.1 android development, and look for the correct kernel, transfer to sdcard via kies and go to recovery and reflash kernel for the TW. Or just d/l Tasks/Phantoms rom Paris and do the same, follow the OP to a T, that should fix it.
which one would be the right one?
I would use

There is a very good walkthough on putting your 7510 back to stock (first step I would suggest). This walk through gives you all the files you need. I have tested this (files include tested pit files, rom files, etc..)
Hope this helps...

ok so i wouldnt say im a noob but im not as advanced as some of yous. last night i flashed a leaked ics onto my phone and loved it with one exception. i couldnt figure out how to root it. all my apps are backed up on titanium backup and i didnt want to have to get all of them manually. so i flashed back to stock using odin with a file i used back when that crappy update came out. i rooted it with super one click and and then went to put on a prerooted ics... when in recovery mode now i get this message
cant access to '/system/csc/att/system/'
i try putting on cwm and siyah and i keep getting authentication errors and the installation aborts. also recovery mode wont read my external sd card now. when the phone is booted up it works fine except i tried to do the factory ota update and it keeps failing. i tried reflashing back to stock again and did the update unrooted and it still failed.
i know you guys hate hate when people ask without researching so i did SOME forum browsing and found nothing. sorry i dont really have time to look too extensively. i just want to know how to fix it. i appreciate any help i can get

Start with getting back to stock using this guide. Check for ICS bootloaders too, you probably flashed them and you have to get stock ones back (careful, flashing bootloaders can cause hardbricking). Once you're back to stock and rooted, you shouldn't need to ever use PC Odin again.
Then use this guide for rooting/flashing.
One other note: when you tried to install CWM, it sounds like you loaded an update.zip onto your phone then tried to install it using stock recovery. Stock recovery won't let you install unsigned update.zips, which is why that method for getting CWM on your phone will never work (hence the authentication error and installation abort). For our phone, CWM is only included in custom kernels, that's the only way to get it on there, and don't even think about updating or changing it via other means. Just flash a custom kernel, it'll include CWM, use it until you want to switch kernels.
Hit my thanks button, I was really nice this time. And post in Q/A next time as well.
EDIT: Skip the second guide if all you want is stock. You should be able to update OTA after following the first guide. Though even if stock is what you want, I highly recommend flashing a custom GB kernel because a) they're more stable and faster and b) you'll have CWM in case you need it.
You started off mentioning about "leak ics" which I have absolutely zero experience.
My suggestion:
1. Try to get it back to stock. Make sure it works correctly.
2. If hasn't rooted yet, do so.
3. Getting CMW into the device by flashing custom kernel.
4. From there, install any ICS ROM you want.
Hey there everybody, tried to find a solution all day long for my problem, but wasn't successful jet.
Brought uk version of ics on my tab (using P7510XXLPH) without any problems. I came from cm9 with cwm 5.5.0.4, because of the rolling recovery issue i flashed a different bootloader using isimobile's method.
To get ics working i flashed Stock HC, wiped cache and made a factory reset, both 3x. Finally flashed UK 7510 Version (everything with odin 1.85). Works great now, better then ever....
But and here is the problem, if i want to flash the zip for easy-root from internal sd card using stock recovery mode, it can't be mounted (see attached pictures).
I looked all day long on xda without finding a solution fitting for me. Maybe i'm searching with the wrong words, don't know. There are many solutions for a external sd card, also for different devices, but how can i solve my problem with a gt-p7511/7510?
Hope that someone can help me, don't want to kill the tab by using a try-and-error-method.
And please don't kill me directly, if i did something wrong, just getting started and want to learn now activ, after just reading xda for years.
Thanks for your help!
Just to avoid anybody to think i'm blind, yes i read also these two threads without beeing convinced that they would help me:

edit 2:
Just to prevent anyone to stick at the same trapp as i did, all stock recovery from ics and up where patched to prevent access to sdcard from there. This might be clear to many here, but it wasn't to me. Thanks to msedek, who lighted me up, my "problem" is absolutely normal and wished by devs. Just didn't delet my post becaus about 100 people seemed to be interested so there could be need to state that clear.
Sorry to post bs. If someone thinks my post isn't helpful at all it can be deleted also.
I return now back to read-only-state in the forum, there is still much more to learn...
Hi, I have the same problem on my GT-P7500 (Galaxy Tab 10.1).
If I flash with Odin the stock HoneyComb firmware, all returns working as usual.
If I flash with Odin the stock ICS firmware, I get this issue and can't install anything on recovery because it says
E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]
by the way I'm happy that you confirm this isn't my fault on something :angel:
Anyway, now the only method to get a working root seems to be:
1) Flash HC
2) Root as usual
3) Do the OTA update to ICS
The first time I updated to ICS, I've done this way because I had original Rooted HC and after the update, Root was still present.

Only method?? Once youve installed ICS, use Odin to flash CWM and then install the root zip

I flashed with mobile Odin and had the same problem. I think Samsung blocked it so we are not able to root easily. This was the case in 7510 in honeycomb also. Anyway, I used Odin to install team win recovery and rooted it!

Yes, thats what i was informed about to by msedek. It's a issue to might prevent us from flashing without custom recovery.
Obviousely it worked, thought i did something wrong and my tab didn't act normal

I was wondering a few things if anyone could help. I have the metro version
of the mega. Id like to know if it is possible to get back to complete stock. I flashed
twrp, which is awesome. Also I bought a sd card reader from Walmart so
I can add and remove files to the sd if I ever brick the phone. I have
tried cm11 wasn't for me. I have rooted the phone etc. I'm trying
to get back to the state of when I first got the phone. Currently I flashed
bnb's clean twrp files and am back to stock. I want to get rid
of twrp and go back to thr original bootloader if theres
a way. From what I know the bootlaoder is locked up.
Im thinking about taking the phone back to the store as the
owner knows exactly what I'm talking about when I start grilling
him with questions about different roms and such. Do you
think at the store they may be able to reflash it? I've
tried via odin, but can only flash the twrp and then from there
I am able to flash the clean backup. I totally want to go back
to original. If you guys have any tips, questions or comments
please and thank you.

Was the restore from an older update? If so, this would explain it. HTCs are particular about having the same firmware version needed with the rom update otherwise there will be issues with touch, signal, and a couple other things. I would try and run a full RUU from the PC. This should resolve it, if it is software based.

Thanks es0tericcha0s,
i did restore from the same firmware just after doing a factory reset. Because of the big file size of the restore the process stopped in the middle ( the phone was hot in fact ) and after reboot no touch working. Even after changed the screen still the same.
I did a full RUU.exe but no success and now after doing a lot of things on it, the phone does not mount /sdcard when in CWM recovery mode.
I dont know what to try any more first to fix the mount of sdcard and then try something else.
Please advice .
Thanks

That's not good. Sounds like when the phone got hot and failed to restore that something might have happened to the motherboard. I seem to remember that some HTCs of that generation had touchscreen issues due to something shorting out, but can't seem to find the thread anymore. Sorry. Might be time to save for an upgrade. At least something that gets LTE...
