Looking for anyone who can help progress things further for this phone. No, I'm not a developer, but I'm learning what I can. Your advice and suggestions are most welcome.
Here's a quick run-down of the phone (as of 10/20/2011) :
Full Spec Sheet
Model No. - IS03
Android Version - 2.2.1 (Froyo)
Baseband/Build Number - 01.01.05 (.06 is available but it breaks the temp root)
Bootloader/Fastboot/Recovery modes are all inaccessible
Short history of root attempts by Build Number (click here)
Open Source files from the Sharp Developer website - (click here)
Checklist GREEN : DONE | RED : NOT DONE
Root - Temporary ONLY (click here or scroll below)
Unlock nand
Dumps - system / recovery
What am I missing from this checklist?
Temporary Rooting Guide (ISuhax306)
Thanks to cielavenir, goroh_kun, and love_marijuana for the work they've been putting in. This method works if your IS03 is on 2.2.1, with Baseband/Build at 01.01.05. If your Baseband/Build is at 01.01.06 or higher, THIS WILL NOT WORK.
You will need ISuhax306.7z, which is attached in this post.
Do this at your own risk. We are not responsible for any adverse effects that you may cause by attempting these methods.
### This is based on the idea that SuperOneClick is useful to make is03break stable. Thank you reporters. ###

You are not alone!
I got my IS03 the first day it was out. Only got it, because it was the best Android phone on au so far. Even though the IS06 will be better. But I needed a contract as soon as possible. Kind of nice phone, but lots of things i don't like. Like the launcher (try ADW.Launcher - can be found in the android market - for home, is a lot faster and looking nicer).
I would love to root this IS03 device to get wifi tether so I can use my Nexus One with Gingerbread soon .
I have been in Android for a long time. Started with the ADP1, Nexus One and now IS03. As well I am working as an Android App Developer for tonchidot (creators of SekaiCamera). So I know my way around Android. But I am not sure how to root the IS03 or even how to try. And a little afraid of ruining my phone . Nexus One is a little different. because i don't depend on it. But I need the IS03 for calling. And can not use my Nexus One on au . If I could I would. That is why i need wifi tether as soon as possible .
Any recommendations on Rooting? Let me know and I will try!
Have you tried the regular rooting tools, just for kicks?
such as z4root and try both perm and temp root...
If you don't mind me borrowing some of your time to work out things, I could try out a few things with rooting, pm me your information(skype/gtalk/msn/aim/etc )

Thank you for your response! I recognize you from twitter when I tried to google up information regarding the IS03. I'm trying ADW right now after you suggested it. I was using Launcher Pro, it was all right; however, ADW seems to be a little smoother.
I'm really scared to try to attempt any rooting procedure with my phone too. I do have a backup phone but I'd hate to brick my new purchase so I definitely need to do my research.
That's cool that you work with tonchidot, I've used Sekai Camera a couple times to test it out, but there really isn't too much activity around me other than a lot of landmarks.
Anyways, if I come up with any information I'll let you know on this thread.

I haven't tried any regular rooting tools just yet. I'm still just getting used to using it. As I find out more, especially in terms of bricking, booting into recovery, etc, I'll probably try some rooting tools.
Thanks for your response too, I will PM you with my information shortly.
just trying to boot into recovery mode...
I was trying to see if I could boot the phone into recovery mode in the first place, all my attempts have failed so far.
There's the power button, volume up and volume down buttons, and the camera button. Hidden from view (need to take off the back cover) is the reset button.
On a sidenote, I timed the startup process just for kicks:
~2 seconds - "Android au with Google" logo appears
~30 s - IS03 animation appears
~40 s - screen brightens slightly
~43 s - Monochromatic menu lights up, IS03 animation is still playing
~50 s - "Reading au card..." message replaces IS03 animation
~53 s - Home screen with Unlock pattern appears
Anyways, back to this recovery mode business: I tried a method that a couple of other websites suggested which was a combination of Vup and CAM being pressed while being powered on. That didn't work, so I tried all sorts of combinations:
Hold POWER throughout startup
Hold Vup only X
Hold Vdown only X
Hold CAM only X
Hold Vup and CAM X
Hold Vdown and CAM X
Hold ALL X
Power on and release power button but
Hold Vup only X
Hold Vdown only X
Hold CAM only X
Hold Vup and CAM X
Hold Vdown and CAM X
Hold ALL X
During Startup
Hold CAM, press HOME X
Hold Vup and CAM, press HOME X
At this point, I tried messing around with the reset button. All the reset button does is restart the phone while powered on. Nothing happens if the reset button is pressed while the phone is off. I still tried various combinations anyways but nothing worked.
After perusing some of the other threads, perhaps my phone has this recovery option disabled (likely), doesn't have such a mode (erm, unlikely?), or I just haven't found the right combination yet (also likely).
It's too bad this phone is only in Japan in the moment. I better brush up on my Japanese...
Tested some Android codes via this page
The only code that seems to work is *#*#4636#*#* which brings up general information that is otherwise easily accessible in the normal menus in this phone.
Hmmm.
z4root attempt
I've just successfully used z4root's temporary root feature to root the phone. <---- I jumped the gun when I ran z4root for the first time and it said it was successful, oops.
Now what? I don't want to try the permanent root solution yet, especially if I don't know how to get my phone into recovery mode yet.
At the moment:
1. z4root temporary root 'works' (USB debugging needs to be checked)
2. Superuser icon is in the drawer
3. BusyBox is not installed as z4root says it will do
4. Downloaded Titanium Backup, program doesn't work (asks to verify rom root and installation of BusyBox)
5. Installing BusyBox from Titanium Backup doesn't seem to work
6. Installed BusyBox installer from the Market, that works
7. Running the newly installed BusyBox installer, it tells me that I don't have root
Regarding step 7: I'm guessing that BusyBox failed to install during the z4root process even though z4root 'worked', plus trying to install via Titanium Backup didn't work as well. At this point, looks like the temporary root solution is a false positive pending further testing.
Universal Androot time.
That was quick. Attempting to install Superuser for Android 2.0-2.2 (or even 1.5-1.6) didn't work. Here's what I get:
*Rooting your device, please wait...
Generating exploit .. [OK]
Generating su .. [OK]
Generating Superuser.apk .. [OK]
Generating root script .. [OK]
*after about 10 seconds, changes to Installing toolkit ..
After roughly 20 seconds, I get this message:
Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~
It looks like the process fails somewhere during the toolkit installation.
Boo.
ADB issues
Did it really take this long just to resolve all the ADB issues? All I wanted to do was take a simple screenshot of my phone
When I plugged my phone into my computer, all of the drivers EXCEPT the ADB installed just fine.
1. Install Android SDK and JRE SDK, Eclipse is optional since I'm not really a developer (link)
2. Install PDAnet for Android (link)
3. Ensure that your ADB files are in the correct folder (at least for the ddms.bat stuff...) (link)
So...I can take some screenshots now...yippee.
Trying SuperOneClick
Decided to give this program a chance too since I tried the other ones, and I was finally able to get the ADB driver to work.
First Method
1. Restarted the phone
2. USB Debugging is CHECKED
3. Plugged phone into the netbook
4. Started SuperOneClick, clicked Root
5. SuperOneClick will start looping after running RATC and trying to restart the ADB server. Left it like this for 5 minutes.
6a. IF I uncheck USB debugging while it says "Waiting for device" with the USB connection sound indicating a detected device, USB disconnection sound will play and program will wait. If I check USB DEBUGGING again then the program will resume looping
6b. IF I uncheck USB debugging at any time during the loop when the USB disconnection sound has already played (so before the starting up sound can play), the program will be unable to resume looping and just freeze despite shutting off any processes related to this procedure. At this point I need to restart both my netbook and my phone
7. Letting SOC loop for about 10 minutes will result in the program saying NOT RESPONDING and would then need a fresh restart
Code:
Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
OK
Waiting for device...
OK
Pushing rageagainstthecage...
21 KB/s (5392 bytes in 0.249s)
OK
chmod rageagainstthecage...
OK
Running rageagainstthecage...
OK
***IF IT KEEPS LOOPING, TRY DISABLING USB DEBUGGING NOW***
Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
OK
Waiting for device...
OK
Running rageagainstthecage...
OK
***IF IT KEEPS LOOPING, TRY DISABLING USB DEBUGGING NOW***
Second Method
1. Leave USB DEBUGGING unchecked
2. Plug phone in, start SOC, click Root
3. When SOC says "Waiting for device", check USB DEBUGGING
4. RATC should start
5. When SOC says "Starting ADB server", uncheck USB DEB, check USB DEB, uncheck USB DEB again before the "Waiting for device" message appears again
I usually can't get this timing right due to some lag on my phone. I got it right a couple of times and after about a minute, SOC will have the NOT RESPONDING indicator on again. At this point, I can check USB DEB and the program might start on a loop again, or I need to restart...again.
With either of the two methods, if I go into my Task Manager on my netbook and kill one of the two ADB.exe (usually the one with the lower memory value) processes, then the program will say FAILED, like so:
Code:
***IF IT KEEPS LOOPING, TRY DISABLING USB DEBUGGING NOW***
Killing ADB Server...
OK
Starting ADB Server...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
OK
Waiting for device...
OK
Running rageagainstthecage...
FAILED
Third Method
1. Power off phone, restart netbook
2. Start SOC, click Root
3. When "Waiting for device" message appears, connect phone to netbook
4a. If USB DEB was checked before turning off the phone, SOC will do the looping thing again when the phone is finished turning on
4b. If USB DEB was unchecked before turning off the phone, nothing happens when the phone comes back online
== tl;dr ==
It looks like it's getting stuck at the RATC process and loops from there until it freezes. Range of problems may include: bad USB cables, bad USB ports, and/or this IS03 is one tough SOB.
z4root permanent root option
Just tried the permanent option with z4root.
Similar process that the temporary process did except the phone rebooted. After the reboot, everything seemed to be working as normal.
BusyBox, Titanium Backup, and Wireless Tether all say I am not rooted, though.
So much for that.
Safe Mode
My efforts to boot the phone into recovery mode have led me into Safe Mode instead.
No big deal.
I still haven't found a surefire way to get into Safe Mode except to keep mashing the Volume Up and Camera buttons while pressing the monochromatic buttons when they finally light up just before the home screen appears.
Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5, Recovery Mode
Interesting thing about this version is that it adds a Soft Root as well as logging to the SDCARD.
1. Uninstalled Universal Androot 1.6.1 (stable)
2. Installed Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta 5 from the SDCARD using App Install
3. Tried all options, including the option not to install Superuser
RESULT: Failed! No ~~~ Fu Goo ~~~
Would you look at that? I can put my phone into recovery mode through adb commands...huh.
I have a IS03 from au as well, so I appreciate your efforts in this. So far the phone will do, but I do find it strange that I can't use Skype over wifi, instead of 3g...

Thanks for your comments. I feel I'm not really doing much except for poking around to see what kind of reaction I get from the IS03.
If I stumble on something worthwhile, it'll be posted here.
As far as your Skype problem is concerned, when you use Skype, it switches from your WiFi connection to 3g? I believe I can use Skype with my WiFi, but I'll have to pay closer attention to that.
Bootloader and Recovery reboot via ADB
Let's see what happens if I try to reboot my phone via ADB in either recovery or bootloader mode.
According to this site, if I'm not mistaken, I anticipate seeing some menu options pop up when I get into either recovery or bootloader mode.
Rebooting into Recovery Mode
1. Unmount SDCARD
2. USB DEBUG is checked
3. Plug the phone into the netbook
4. Windows+R 'cmd' to bring up the prompt
5. get to android-sdk-windows/tools directory
6. adb devices to ensure that the device is listed
7. adb reboot recovery to restart the phone into recovery
Phone reboots and shows a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark with the green droid icon in front of it. What happens when I do some button combinations? Let's see...
VolUP + CAM = FAIL
VolDN + CAM = FAIL
POW + CAM = FAIL
POW + VolUP = FAIL
POW + VolDN = FAIL
POW + VolUP + CAM = FAIL
POW + VolDN + CAM = FAIL
VolDN + VolUP + CAM = FAIL
Randomly pressing all buttons = FAIL
I can't access any menu here...
Rebooting into Bootloader Mode
Same steps as before, except
7. adb reboot-bootloader to restart the phone into bootloader
The phone restarts and the Android AU with Google logo appears...and it seems to be stuck at this part. Button presses do nothing, no menu or text.
With either method, I have to take out the battery.
Mistaken, I am.
ADB Driver
Greetings!
It seems this is the only place I've seen for english speaking IS03 help. I saw that you were able to install the ADB drivers. Are you using a Japanese version of windows?
I was able to get the USB drivers from Sharp's site, but no luck in getting them to work...
I'm using Win 7 64bit, but it seems I can't get the ADB interface to be recognized.
Anyhow, any help would greatly appreciated.
adb reboot recovery
starts recovery.. but do not get the menu (no matter which buttons i press)
adb reboot bootloader => hangs in booting? or is that the bootloader?
fastboot devices => no devices.. well. it was worth a try
IS03 ADB Drivers
Well, strangely enough, the IS03 drivers wouldn't install for me, but these would:
sh-dev.sharp.co.jp/android/modules/driver/index.php?/003sh/download
(forum wouldn't let me post the link...)
When I have my phone plugged in and I have an emulator running, I get this:
List of devices attached
SSHEV080667 device
emulator-5554 device
I'm assuming the SSHEV device is my IS03, and the other is obvious...
I haven't gotten to much farther than this, but I thought I'd share...The drivers specific for the IS03 Win 7 64bit at this address:
k-tai.sharp.co.jp/support/a/is03/download/usb/index.html
...they didn't work for me. When trying to install the drivers, they weren't recognized.
I'll post more when I get a bit farther...

I have never rooted an android device before and this is my first time. The reason I'm rooting is so I can enable the Virtuous Prime ROM (the guide for Virtuous Prime suggested to use ViperMOD to root first)
[ROOT] [TOOL][Updated 2.22.12]viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5 | Auto Root/Unroot/Busybox/CMW - xda-developers
^I'm following the instructions from the link above word for word. So far I've met the following Criteria:
-Enabled USB Debugging
-Running build 9.4.2.15
-Have "ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface" drivers installed and updated
I downloaded the ViperMOD 4.5 zip and extracted it to my PC. I opened the folder and right clicked on "viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 - copy.bat". A cmd popped up with several different options; I pressed 1 to root, and pressed enter to skip the following two prompts (that ask if USB debugging is enabled and asus usb drivers are installed).
The CMD then showed the following message:
*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*
*daemon started successfully*
However the CMD just stopped there. It didn't show the following flood of text that should show up when rooting w/ ViperMod (like shown in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3OQkxmUyLc at 2:35)
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here. The guide however did say that I needed to "Kill Asus Sync and Splashtop" though I'm not exactly sure what it means by "kill". I don't have Splashtop running on my Prime nor Splashtop remote running on my PC. I also don't have ASUS Sync software installed on my PC and I disabled Auto-Sync on my Prime (HOWEVER, the ASUS Sync icon is still visible in my Prime's notification bar when I connect it via USB to my PC).
Any advice?
I had a similar problem
I tried to use superoneclick to root my Samsung Gravity and it hung on waiting for phone. I used the adb commands to load the zergRush exploit. So you need to find which exploit works on your phone, adb push the exploit, busybox, and su to your phone and use adb shell to do the root.
** DISCLAIMER: I'm pulling this command sequence out of my memory... you should find a better guide but this stuff may give you clues as to what to google for, or if you're familiar with shell you may see the gist of what you're trying to do **
The commands will look something like this:
adb push exploitfilename
adb push busybox.apk
adb push su
adb shell
chmod 755 exploitfilename
./exploitfilename
(wait for the exploit to finish)
pm install busybox.apk
pm install su.apk
reboot
Once it rebooted, I installed terminal through the market so I could do cool stuf like so:
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/whateverdevhasyoursystemfolder /system
rm /system/app/Vendorgarbagebloatapp.apk
and so forth. Knowledge of linux and shell commands is your friend here for sure. Basically, you should know what you're doing or don't do it. I'm no fan of one-clicks for anything like this, it's too hard to figure out what went wrong if it goes wrong, plus this way you can learn new skills.
Can't seem to run Vipermod
I am trying to run vipermod on my computer but when I try to run it, it flashes on the screen for less than a second and then re-closes.
For a little extra info I have a tf101 running the 9.2.1.17 build
My computer is running the window 8 developers copy( no i'm not a dev just love testing new things before most other people.)
I've tried running it as an admin and in compatibility mode but have had no success as of yet any help would be greatly appreciated.

U should tried on another comp with windows seven imo
I would if i had one but my laptop got stolen so my only computer besides my desktop is my transformer, Are their any .bat files out their that i can use to run it from? I found out that its a problem with windows 8 not allowing .exe files to open command prompts, but if its a .bat file it will run.
Hi everyone, I've been doing a good bit of googling and found nothing yet, so if this has been asked before I'm very sorry but I haven't yet seen anyone on the forum with the exact same issue. I actually updated to JB OTA when I first got the device in Canada (US version), when I got back to the UK I decided to root, but then found out that you can't on JB, luckily I managed to downgrade to ICS V9.4.5.30 downloaded from the ASUS website! I was not able to downgrade to an earlier version however, stock recovery wouldn't allow it so NVFLASH root method is out the window... Now I would prefer not to unlock my bootloader for now.
When running debugfs.bin 1 click root method, on my desktop (not run as admin) it says:
Waiting for device to be detected...
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
'find" is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Less than half a second later it just closes down.
When run as admin, it does the same thing and instead of closing down it goes back to the first screen where you can select what method you want to use.
On my netbook it runs and just stops at daemon started successfully, the tablet has no response and debugfs just stays on that screen till I close it down.
Both my computers have all the correct drivers and the latest version of debugfs running, both are windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Please help me as my Infinity is just sitting around doing nothing as when I downgraded to ICS all 190 apps I installed were wiped too, and obviously there's no point me reinstalling any apps till I get this bad boy rooted...
Many thanks in advance!
Make sure you're connecting to a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0, on your computer.
Try not to use any intervening USB hub.
Try to make sure that you're using the back ports on a desktop machine as sometimes the front ports and be a bit sketchy.
Reboot both tablet and computer before starting, and as always, make sure the tablet has USB debugging enabled.
only my netbook has usb 3.0 and I used the 2.0 port, I will now try the back ports of my desktop, I didn't use any extensions or usb hubs, I have debugging and unknown sources checked. I have tried the restarting already, which I'll do right now again... thanks though..
Code:
@adb kill-server
@adb wait-for-device
@adb shell mount | find " /system" | call RootDebugfs.bat x
That is where you're system is tripping up. For some odd reason when it runs that part of the script, it trips up.
It's not a device not found error, b/c it would 1) say that, and 2) never make it to that last line, just hang at the previous line. Yet when I connect my Infinity it works perfectly fine on mine. For some reason the command "find /system" is not working correctly on your system after performing the shell mount command.
Do you have the Android SDK installed on your system?
Android SDK and Java DK were not installed, just installed them still exactly the same issue, haven't rebooted since installing them though
Is there a way I could use Linux to root, as I do have Linux Mint running?

I dunno why it is not working then. What you're doing is exactly what I did *successfully* to root my Infinity and then take the JB upgrade ans restore root.
I have another file called Infnity Root that you can try: check your PMs for the link

Thanks so much anyway! I've already tried that file, it's exactly the same
Yeah, it looked very similar, but it included more things in the actual Download like the drivers.
Not sure why it is not working - can you run those three commands in a command prompt window and see what you get?
well they say 3's a magic number, computer number 3 worked! For some reason something on my desktop and netbook was causing the root to fail, now I'm updating to jb ota... Thanks for the quick responses otherwise I would have assumed the problem was with the tablet and not my machines...
Glad you got it working. Quite possibly an antivirus program, firewall, or other such problem.
Oh I am hoping someone here can help me out here. I just got this tablet, and tried to do the Froyo update, only to find out (too late) that this model is different and not up-gradable to the 2.2. After screwing around a bit with it, not sure what happened, but now the entire system is gone.
It boots to the Cruz logo, and sits there. ADB recognizes it, but I have no shell access, and when I do a ADB ls /system it lists only 2 files, with random numbers.
ADB remount - FAILS
ADB reboot fastboot - FAILS (just reboots it)
ADB reboot recovery - gets to recovery (in ADB devices) but tablet is blank, but no sh access
Vol + & power do nothing.
Vol - & power do nothing
While attached to my PC (Win7-64) and hit the reset and Vol -, it shows up as JZ4760 USB Boot, but Windows REFUSES to let me install any drivers for it. (Got the USBToolKit, but even after turning off driver signing, it still says they're not signed and refuses to load them)
I got the 2.0 firmware (default) so now what I need it a way to push the img files to the tab (hopefully)
Any ideas, or is this thing really a neat little brick now?
Thanks
No one?? Come on guys...I've been on this site for a long time, and have seen some of you pull out a brick and make a phone out of it again. LOL
I'm thinking if I can just get fastboot to load somehow on the tablet, I could issue commands from my PC to "push" the image files back over.
Question is: how do I get fastboot to get onto the tablet to load into???
I would like a copy of your firmware if still available for the cruz of course impossible to find as site is no longer hosted
I have a rooted s6 edge, I used cf's auto root method, however my phone is not encrypting properly (let it run for 4 hours last night before interrupting process) Will the s6 not encrypt if rooted, or if knox has been broken? Any advice on how to resolve this?
try a different method like rooting apk
i know i'm late but here's the fix:
1. The latest busybox needs to be installed.
2. After enabling USB Debugging on your phone, you need to go to adb shell on your PC and type su for root access . Accept the root permission request on your phone. You will then see in adb that the $ will turn into #
3. Type following command: pkill -KILL daemonsu
This will temporarily disable supersu/root. (You see that the # will turn back into $. Also you'll see your apps won't be able to gain root access). After encrypting your phone will be automatically rooted again.
4. Do NOT open SuperSu afterwards or reboot. Just start with encryption.
Just an extra note, since I ran into this.
The issue is that the encryption process tries to unmount /data, but doesn't know about the dameonsu process which has one or more files open. The unmount fails and the encryption hangs. The only way out is a hard reboot (hold power + volume down) and a factory reset.
Once you kill the daemon, be sure to exit adb as that will also hold /data mounted.
If it just shows a lock and the word "Encrypting" but no other activity, it's stuck and you'll have to reset it. If it works, it will reboot to the Verizon screen then show a % complete screen.
So here's the thing; I still own a Galaxy Tab 2 that I hardly ever use. But having bought Panasonic Lumix GH3 I suddenly found it useful. The GH3 can only be completely controlled through a 'Lumix Link' app and Panasonic in all their (money making) wisdom decided to stop developing at 4.2.2 (Jellybean I think).
It appeared I had stopped upgrading the Tab 2 at cyanogenmod 13. I remember being happy that CM had by then created a complete ecosystem with automatic downloads and their own recovery image. Unfortunately right after that they stopped the development of all. And the recovery/boot image was no longer recognized by W10 1909. In weeks I found no way to get Odin to connect because the device simply wasn't recognized. Than I discovered ADB over wifi and that seemed to work!
After trying out a few nights, reading a lot of forum posts that would redirect me to a usb connection eventually all the time. But then today came the breakthrough.
1. .\adb root (once connected of course)
2. .\adb disable-verity
3. .\adb remount --> remount succeeded
4. .\adb shell rm /dev/block/mmcblk0p6
5. .\adb shell "dd if=/storage/6AC8-29A7/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6" (having put the twrp.img on my sdcard)
35816+1 records in
35816+1 records out
18337808 bytes transferred in 0.921 secs (19910757 bytes/sec) was the result
6. .\adb reboot recovery
and it hangs on the black screen with the white letters "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1"!
Device not recognized through usb
And I realized I would have most likely done step 6:
.\adb enable-verity
No button combination brings me anything anymore unless there is a secret one left I don't know about.
Can any experienced android/ Samsung expert please tell me if I can throw away my device :crying:? Because I think so. But if there's any chance....
Edit: after a complete battery drain the tablet boots into system again. I tried my suspected method but to no avail. I need to get some SU installed and make sure it's rooted.
Try entering Samsung Download mode via RESISTOR TRICK and flash official tar via Odin if still needed. Get it from eg. from HERE.
