[SM-P600] Hard bricked - firmware flash failed

[MikkelJakobsen]

I bought this device recently. Unfortunately it seems now that it's hard bricked. I've got the Hyperdrive rom installed and it used to work perfect. The problem started when the battery ran out while I were streaming live TV. Since then it wouldn't boot properly. It was stuck in bootloop, however I were still able to get it into recovery and download mode. I tried to recover from a backup through TWRP but did not succeed properly (the screen just froze after a couple of minutes). Afterwards it was really hard to make it do anything. It started to boot into something called "SDCARD MODE", with options to press the volume up key for normal reboot, and volume down for "download mode". But neither option worked.

I managed to get it into download mode and tried to reflash the original firmware for my device (P600ZHUCNH1) with Odin but it failed. When I rebooted the device the display showed the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried to flash the same firmware again with Odin but it failed again.

And since then I haven't managed to turn on the device. Holding Home button + Volume Up + Power or Volume Down + Power doesn't work. Battery is fully charged. Tried to reinstall battery. Tried a USB Jig. But no luck.

Any suggestions on what to do?

Thanks in advance!

You have a solution to resolve that problem off yours.

Those 3rd screen image, tell that you need to use the Kies Software to restore your tablet to his own factory firmware.
Just follow this steps:

1. turn off your tablet, and go into "Download Mode"
2. start Kies3 Software in Windows, and go to the menu Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation
3. Write the Model number off your tablet -> SM-P600
4. Then write the Serial Number (that on the backcover off the tablet).
5. Confirm all ok.

Then it starts to download the original firware files from the Samsung Servers. And it will flash the firmware.
And that's it. You should have after the tablet running smooth and 100% again!!!!

Best regards!

Thanks for your help! However, the problem is that I can't even turn on the tablet anymore. The screen just stays black no matter what I do. So I don't see the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" anymore and theremore Kies doesn't recognize any connected device.

Try do take off the back cover from the tablet, disconnect all the flex cables.
Remove the 13 screws from the batery holder, and then disconnect the battery cable's power.

Wait a few seconds, and then place all the parts on the tablet again.
And try to turn on the table again.

See if this helps.
