[Q] GT-P7501: Stuck in "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" [resolved]

---

Hi all,

I just bought a GT-P7501.

I was going to root it as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1239185

I ended up with a flickering CWM recover version 4. Flashed with Odin a version 5 from overcome. Same flickering...

And then something must have gone terribly wrong...

I now cannot flash anything via Odin anymore. The tab starts and sits then with a very small percentage display in "Downloading...". Odin stays at

<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/010> recovery.img

When I boot normally I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies does not allow me recovery mode though.

(I can (at least occasionally) boot into the stock by fiddling with the flickering CWM recovery.) Not anymore, I cannot get into recovery.. :(

Any hint, how to resolve this?!?! I am desparate.

Using a TAB GT-P7500

Got the same problem, after trying to update to ics with KIES. It stopped in the beginning, and cant do anything else anymore.
Tried draining the tab, didnt work. Tried almost everything and it doesnt work so it seems. I will try to flash it with the recov tar. If you could tell me how you did it. Just flsh it in ODIN?

edit*
Tried flashing the recov.tar in ODIN, doesnt work it seems. Maybe it is time to throw my tab out of the window, its getting annoying

Okay, ive managed to flash the recovery tar, yet when i want to flash a stock rom it still freezes after a few seconds (attached screenpic). I can get into the overcome cwm recovery, and wipe everything, yet after that i can still not flash a rom, it will be stuck at hidden.img.

Anyone any idea on what to do next?

Two choices: copy a ROM to your storage, flash a custom recovery and boot into recovery and install the .zip from your SD card

Or, Odin to stock.

Can't reach internal storage, it will only see the tablet as an apx. Odin to stock keeps on freezing. Drained my tablet now completly, will try it again once i recharged.

Odin to stock doesnt work, not with a pit file, not without, it will still freezes at hidden.img and then do nothing again.

Well, send it to samsung for repairs, they will fix it under guarentee.
