Samsung GT-P1000 tried upgrade now in loop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well i spent the past several hours reading and reading, i tried to upgrade this Tablet to Jellybean, now the Tablet only reaches the samsung glowing screen, i tried several fixes to no avail, my first hurdle is i have no idea what Product code to place in to get the firmware from Sammobile as i dont know where this tablet originated from , possible England, I also followed a tutorial on how to restore back to gingerbread 2.3.3 which gave me the same result, i think i have to go back to Froyo 2.2, so I tool a guess at the Firmare, it also included a heap of PIT files so i selected one that said EUR?,
Really stuck here on what my options are, is there not some Generic data I can install to get this back up and running, so far i have tried loading Modem, firmware, Pit etc.. any help would be greatly appreciated, argh!

[Q] Chinese S2 flashing

Hello,
I am having some trouble with a chinese s2,
I read alot on this forum, and I was able to flash my own s2.
But mine is bought where I live, in belgium. My dad bought one in china.
I tried to put on a belgian firmware, but he won't accept it.
I used odin, but it stops when he tries to upload the firmware:
NAND write start
write operation failed
I've been searching the whole day by now, but I can't get it fixed.
Can anyone help me out please? I have got only 3 days of android experience.
*UPDATE*
I was able to flash a kernel to the device.
before that, I couldnt start up the phone, now I can start it up again.
But I still can't flash a matching firmware...
Thanks in advance.
do you have the soft brick icon now? (the one with a small triangle between the cell and a computer). I tried exactly that flashing other country's rom and I have a failed write. Just try to flash it back to HK or asian rom and see if it boots your phone. for some reasons it should allow you to flash back your old stock rom
Yes I had that triangle, but now the phone functions normal again...
If I upload a new kernel the phone works, if I trie to upload a new firmware it wil fail and the phone won't start up again.
I cant get it solved....
Does anyone know how I can at least get the market to work on it?
I installed market apk on it, but when I trie to open it, it asks for my google account and then crashes.

[Q] odin stuck at nand write start / setup connection soft bricked??

Hi guys
I think i bricked my galaxy s3 (i9300)
my S3 was on android 4.1.2 official, but since the upgrade i noticed the charging problems many people had, with up to 6-7 hours to charnge fully with the original charger or more (the solution many sad was either to buy a direct charger, non usb, as for the S2 or turn back to its ICS 4.0.4..well at that moment i opted for getting back to ICS
But it seems with the new boot loader that Sammy introduced in the new software something went wrong when flashing the ICS firmware with the 3 Files (pda,modem.csc)..
It FAILED, i retried, then i got several times stuck and Nand Write Start or Setup Connection
Then i tried maybe flashing the firmware with a PIT file to repartition..the result was the same..
So in conclusion i think i made up a big mess in there...
At this moment my phone can only get in Download Mode with the 3 buttons combo (it also shows the counter etc), nothing more, it doesn't work at all..I' can't flash on it anything (except for the single PIT file) it's the only file that gets Successful installation in Odin, everything else gets stuck
(recovery, firmware..)
EDIT: after flashing the mx PIT file i have again the initian boot logo..but still get FAILED in flashing firmware process
HELP is MUCH appreciated! Thank you in advance!
I also have this problem, but mine happened when upgrading my rom (Foxhound). Can't enter recovery, only download mode works. Flashing back to stock has failed, I now want to try flashing the pit files.

Before anyone says anything, sorry for another s2 brick post but I've searched like mad! Downloaded like mad n stayed up till 2 hours before work to sort this n nothing so far.
I rooted my s2 successfully and installed a working kernel. For some reason any ROM o tried failed at flashing, so I went back intoodin n installed a new kernel but my laptop froze n now I'm bricked. I've tried reinstalling the kernel that worked n no hope and tried maybe 10 different kernels n nothing worked. I read on a post to try installing new firmware, some work n some fail, some just go into boot loop n some come up firmware problem use kies. I've tried combinations of kernels n firmware but its not worked, sometimes the phone loads up to boot logo then just goes off.
I'm trying to download some files now but my stock ROM download keeps stopping, I've got the bootloader n kernel just the ROM is playing up.
The one click unbrick doesn't see my phone as mass storage so won't work. Kies won't connect. I can get into recovery and download
Anyone have files that will definitely work or any advice.....phone is s2 i9100 on o2 uk
1) Download the stock rom using another internet connection (I.E an internet cafe. Because flashing one is the only way you're fixing this).
2) There has been dozens of 'Odin won't work/PC & phone won't recognise each other' threads on here over the past month. In many of them, someone here has listed the troubleshooting steps you go thru when this happens. Find them. And try those steps. All of them. With multiple PC's if you need to. And keep trying them until it works.
Edit - Use a more descriptive title than 'Please help'. Many people here will automatically not even bother to read your thread by default, which may deny you the chance to fix your phone.

[Q] An app messed up build.prop, please help!

Hello!
I'm a newbie and I really need help with my bricked(?) phone. First a short intro to how the problem came to be:
I own an old (but I still love it) and extremely rare phone, the original Samsung Galaxy Beam (I8520).
There is no official update for it, so it is stuck on Android 2.1.
The thing I miss is Netflix, and Netflix officially only supports 2.2+, so I thought I could try to fool Netflix into running anyway by editing puild.prop.
But to be safe, I used an app called Device Spoofer. In this I could try different model infos by selecting different phones in a list.
I tried a couple and found one it would except. Then it required a reboot, I believe, and now my phone won't start up.
I get to the Samsung logo and then a Starhub carrier logo, as usual, and then the phone just turns black.
There is supposed to be a way to get into download mode by holding some buttons, but that doesn't work on my phone. I have read something about it being a bug on some Samsung models. But anyway, I have bought one of those usb sticks that puts the phone into download mode, and it works.
I have tried to use ADB, but it doesn't seem to find my phone. I also tried to flash a firmware to the phone, but that doesn't work either, Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection..". The only firmware I have found online is one called I8520STHJI1.tar, which is the last firmware version made for the phone and the version that is factory installed on my phone.
The I8520STHJI1.tar contains the following files:
cache.rfs
modem.bin
ramdisk.img
SS_DL.dll
system.rfs
userdata.rfs
zImage.img
Is there anything that can be done?
Thank you!
After googling, it seems that I need a certain version Odin to be able to flash the i8520.
What I need is Multi Downloader v.1.7.3L
Does anybody have that?

TOUGH - Stuck in the most IMPOSSIBLE soft brick..e.v.e.r. - TOUGH

Hi guys. This is the first time I've asked for help here. I have been flashing custom roms for several years now, and go figure, the one device I would be unable to recover is my own beloved Galaxy Tab S .
WiFi 16gb SM-T700.
I have flashed this dozens of times since in the last three years, this issue is TOUGH.
Here is what happened.
Tried to gain root with Kingroot ( First time trying that one. :/ )
Then i pushed TWRP 3.1.* through Odin
Flashed AICP 7.1.2 / GAPPS
Success
Booted the tablet. Play Store worked. Everything worked. I had root. I downloaded a few of my favorite apps and then restarted into recovery to make a backup.
TWRP was asking me something it never did before, something installing the Official App,..I swiped??
Anyways, I never got the backup. Here is where I'm stuck.
When I turn the tablet on, it says "Can't do normal boot, Kernal Length" and shuts off when I let go. I cannot boot into recovery from any method. The OS will not load. I have access to download mode, but absolutely nothing will go through in Odin. I have tried 6 or 7 different versions of Odin/ both with the single AP file and all four separate (BL, AP, CSC, blah) I have tried repairing the bootloader, reinstalling a recovery, new roms, PIT files, nothing at all will PASS in odin. Samsung Kies won't see the device in DL mode. I even donated to the UNIFIED Android Toolkit, which did Sh**. The PRO version. I have spent at least two entire days worth of time and this is beyond me. PLEASE HELP ME!! I can't get it. I paid a pretty penny for this the day it came out, and it doesn't have a scratch on it and I love and care for my devices and respect the software and the dedicated work I see all of you put into this community which makes it easy for people like me. Thank You.
Odin acknowledges it, and I have download mode, and i'm out of ideas.
Does anybody have a good one I can try?
(I'm wrong, I can't help)
