Ultimate Unbrick help

Hello, I have a bricked p1000, I have done the mod. I installed java on Ubuntu, and am almost finished unbricking my tab, but am unable to use the Unrbrickable Ressurector. The link to download it goes to github, and I am confused on what to do with the zip file I have gotten from there. I would appreciate any insight on this problem.

Did you select OneClick? and let the Heimdall to be installed? If so just wait for your device to be boot and return back to stock again ;) Hope it will help you ;)

First Off, Huge thanks to F50+ This man sacrificed his tab to locate these resistors.

introduction
I'm not kidding when I say UnBrickable. Modifying the OM pins means you can boot from USB, UART or MMC. This makes the device quite UNBRICKABLE. There is nothing you can do software wise to prevent the device from booting into this mode. We are communicating with the unrewritable, efused IROM on the processor. It's the thing that makes the system on a chip into a "system on a chip".I am here now to tell you how to turn your Samsung P1000 into a KIT-S5PC110 development board. The KIT-S5PC110 development board is the platform used to develop our phones. There are some differences between this mod and the official development platform. The S5PC110 has a removable internal SDCard and no touchscreen.

Why would you want to do this? When you plug in the battery and connect it to the computer in "off" mode, it will become an S5PC110 board awaiting download of a program to run. This occurs long before anything like software or firmware enters the processor. This is the IROM of the device awaiting commands or a power on signal.

How could it possibly be better then JTAG? Let's count the ways....
1. The only part required is a wire.
2. No shipping time.
3. No cost for a box to interface the computer.
4. Permanent.
5. Can be done as a preventive measure.
6. Gives the ability to test new Bootloaders temporarily.
7. Allows development of the entire system.
8. Removes worry about flashing and acts as a backup.

After performing this mod:
Remove the battery, replace the battery, your phone will connect to the computer via USB and await commands. Otherwise it will pretty much act like a P1000. See the Special Instructions section.

Part 1:Hardware Modification

You will need:
1. Get someone who knows what they're doing with a soldering iron. If they don't know what flux is, then they don't know what they're doing. You can send me a PM(or email my username@gmail.com) or Connexion2005(aka MobileTechVideos.com).
2. Soldering iron - make sure it's sharp, if it's not sharp, then sharpen it, flux it and retin it.
3. fFux
4. Solder
5. Tweezers
6. A relay (possibly- for the wire within to use as a bridge)
7. A #1 tri-blade driver


performing the modification:
1. tear apart your Galaxy Tab... Make sure to take out your SIM and external SDCard before you do this.
1A. Remove the screws.
1B. Separate the top case from the bottom case

****VIDEO OR PICTURES NEEDED*****

2. Perform the mod as follows: remove the xOM5 resistor and jumper the non-grounded pad of xOM5 to the same side of xOM0 or xOM3.

I will be able to give more detail after I have performed this modification myself.

3. reassemble the Tab.


Special Instructions

  • This replaces the battery charging sequence. The normal battery charging sequence can be activated by holding power for 4 seconds, then plugging in the device, or you can use an authentic Samsung Charging Cable for charging the battery
  • To turn on the device, and operate in normal mode, you must hold the power button for 5 seconds.

Part 2: Software Based Resurrection

The entire software resurrection can be summed up like this

Here is a Galaxy Tab specific video

Unbricking:
1. Apply UnBrickable Mod to your device: see Hardware Modification section
2. Run The Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector. You can find the Resurrector here in our SVN repository http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list

When you see this image you are in S5PC110 SEC SoC mode. When you see this mode you must proceed to step 2.

If it will only show this image, then you have not performed the modification correctly, or you have a hardware problem.

If it shows this, regardless of what's on your screen, you're in download mode. Proceded to step 3.

2. Click the Download Mode button (then click the one next to it). I find it's easiest to click Download Mode, type a password, plug in the device, then press enter.

3. Run Heimdall One-Click to flash firmware on your device. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1323527

4. repeat steps 2 and 3 with bootloader flashing enabled (Heimdall One-Click has a safety mechanism which requires you to flash once before flashing bootloaders).


Conclusion

Congratulations. You now have a device which works like a KIT-S5PC110 with an OM Value of 29. Now get to developing some serious custom software.

Hi Guys
I realise that it is a long shot, but does anyone have the original files for the images in this post. They would be very useful in aiding understanding. "TinyPic.com" no longer exists. I hope that someone (perhaps Adam) will be able to help ....Thanks Simon

    hi guys!!

    hi guys!

    I would help you! :)

    the theory:

    20syu0n.png


    this is the final work!

    20120331122118.jpg


    20120331113842.jpg


    senzatitolo2n.jpg



    This Debrickable mod (and mod Resurrection) works fine!

    what you need:

    1. a good friend (thanks Ivan DZ)
    2. great hands... (or friend's ones!)
    3. a tuning wire like this (enamelled copper coil)... thinner may be better but warm deforme it faster

    20120331125715.jpg


    4. remove the resistor xOM5
    5. bridge xOM5 to xOM0
    6. then mount your G Tab
    7. run the Ultimate UnBrickable Resurrector using Ubuntu
    8. connect G Tab to pc
    9. in UUBR appears "S5PC111 detect"
    10. click "Perform Resurection" in few seconds your Tab is in Download Mode (in pc's software appear the usual pic "download mode" that appear also in Android Devices, the Android that works in yellow, BUT in Tab it may not appear, in mine only the flash turned on and the screen was off!
    11. now your Tab is in Download Mode! Do not disconnect the Tab! The Download Mode is supported by software, if you disconnect the Tab it lost the Download Mode!
    12. run Heimdall One-Click
    13. click "Flash"
    14. re do points 10-13 until Heimdall One Click allow to check "Flash Bootloader"!
    15. check "Flash Bootloader"... wait...
    16. Here you are your resurrected TAB !!!! (it's running stock GB Rom!)



    special thanks to AdamOutler
    and to Ivan DZ!

    Because there is no way to hard brick it exccept damging your emmc and ticking repartition in odin !!!

    Congratulations~~~~~

    Its way too early for that... save that for the how-to thread.

    This link and the HeimdallOneClick link redirect to github, what do I do with the zip to get HeimdallOneClick running?

    Here it comes. You are welcome.
    The github sources aren't very usable for mere humans :)
