First, make sure you have the correct Model. Is your tab a P6200 or P6210? Then get a full ROM of Samsung OEM Firmware with the PIT file and flash with Odin and makes sure to check use PIT file. When going between major revisions like ICS to JB the partitions sometimes change . Also hopefully you didn;t do a system reset (clear) from stock ICS, because there was a potentially fatal brick bug in that version. It's ok to use other country ROMs assuming on the P6200 the radio section works for your cell provider.

If it will still charge and boot into download mode, it may not be bricked, it might be that the partitions are just messed up. Worth a try to re-partition with a .pit if so.

Isn't Samsung responsible for this buggy nature of their os ? Even though I'm not in warranty I am going to case againt them in consumer court, they make bugs and land us in trouble
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda premium

Solution....
Relax...if you've searched around....the same thing happened to me and my 6200L. Everything failed except HC....until a fellow member told me to try something and it works like a charm.
For some reason, my 6200L, and many out there, arent too friendly with ODIN, i had tried all sorts of firmwares, PIT and all, but the solution was simple and easy:
Mobile ODIN.
In a memory card, copy the firmware you want, in my case I put the latest 4.1.2 for the 6200L. I flashed HC using ODIN, and then downloaded Mobile ODIN. From there I selected the image for the 4.1.2, and voila. Problem solved.
Hope this helps,
Paul

What is Hc?

[Q] How to restore original GB rom(to get warranty) when USB only charging works

Hello everyone!
I need to get original GB rom to get on my p500, but my usb mass storage/debugging mode is dead, so my phone is not recognized by any computer using different cables. I have also used hardware reset and i am running out of options.
I know that KDZ updater is used for original software but is there another way to do it other than usb?
Is there any other solution?
Thanks in advance!
Can you enter recovery? If so i can get you a zip of, V20G or V20I they are stock ,but its already deodex ,apps2sd ,rooted, busybox and runparts dixda kitchen tweaks only but if you want one of those p.m. me i send you link.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Yes i can enter recovery. That would be a lot easier to get warranty. Thanks a lot i will send you a pm.
If anyone else could share a zip of stock V20x that is not rooted would be very much appriciated.

Mine got with ICS, but the mainboard was broken... they fixed it free
Sent from my LG-P500
In case of broken mainboards, from what i know, they can't tell if the phone had custom rom or that it was even rooted because your system partition is on that mainboard and it's not cost effective to try and salvage the system partition to prove you broke the warenty.
Stock froyo or gingerbread would not raise any suspicions at the service but then again, they can be installed only via kdz witch needs usb, the thing that is broken in your phone. From my knoledge.
Maybe after you flash the rooted froyo or gb you can unroot? Haven't tried that on flashable gb or froyo. If that would work i think you would be safe and the warenty would remain intact
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
i already send you link you can unroot rom after install it.
I have decided to try to flash stock froyo + stock recovery. Hopefully it will leave no trace of my custom rom and rooting activities
Searching this forum and google I have only found one flashable zip of stock froyo V10e, since almost all links are dead or threads are closed, but for my country it says V10d. Can anyone that still posesses these files, reuploads them somewhere? Since our phone is getting older, people with a problem like mine might still need them. Or this isn't really important?

I do not want to make you panic but seeing that screenshot makes me think about me sending the phone to service like 2 month ago because my phone was bricked - same symptom - stuck in factoryfs.img flashing .... there are tons of threads in Q&A section how to handle this, look there pls. But like I said do not panic, it does mean anything .....
stuck at factoryfs is tottaly different thing, and wat i see here OP facing issue is just connection error.
Do this
-uninstall kies
-Reboot PC
-Install just driver from my signature
-you can use any odin 1.85/87/3.* watever you want, i do always use 1.85, but really it doesn't make difference
-change USB, preferably direct to motherboard(back side PC), dont use any extension cable for USB connection
-Close any antivirus running
-And make sure you are in download mode before proceeding
Aww, been expected that when i fail flashing for 1st time. Thanks for the help, will update as soon as i found a solution.
Anyway would the mod please move this to Q & A. ^^

I guess he will not be able to use mobile odin since he will not be able to boot into system.
Are you able to enter recovery/cwm? If not, I would be really thinking of brick. Reading the signs (like KIES uninstalled, tried a lot of time, stucking in factoryfs.img flash state) it appears EXACTLY the same like for me 2 months ago. There were other thoughts (unfortunately did not work for me cause I superbricked the phone and Samsung repaired it for free) like:
1) reinstall KIES or drivers for SGN
2) try different cable
3) try different PC if possible
4) use PIT file
5) even repartitioning was suggested (careful - read posts in Q&A)
6) custom kernel
This is just what I remember - PLS try to find proper threads/posts in Q&A section for details and exact step
P.S. Do not give it up. Try all possible.
Even the phone was bricked I was able to remove yellow triangle using the JIG so it was put in original/official kernel state .....
Ty all anyway I give up trying, send to a local shop for repair before approach Samsung centre ^^

[Q] hide the fact i rooted my phone from Samsung repair center

Hi!
I have a GT-B5512 Samsung Galaxy Y Pro Duos and i just flashed it with Odin and now want to send it in to Samsung. Will they be able to tell i have rooted my phone before? Thanks.
I'm pretty sure they'll see it if you send it in rooted - just un-root it for now and redo it when it comes back

God damn it. I just did the entire process and yes it shows 0 on custom binary count now. But I didnt check if it showed 1 before clearing. So it wasnt that much fun. But probably it was 1 before, right?
Anyway. Thank you VERY MUCH. I wouldnt want to loose the chance for a brand new phone because of a stupid number saved somewhere deep in the jungle of my phone memory.
What I liked very much that i had to root my phone again in order to be able to disguise the fact it is rooted. Its like committing a crime to conceal a crime. Very criminal!
Anyway. What do I do now? Do I have to flash through Odin again to get rid of the root? Because it is still rooted now, right?
u just flash the unroot.zip using following link it works for b5512..no need to flash through odin if u flash through odin then ur custom bin counter will change again.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25140479

OMG that message I got 30 minutes too late. I just flashed with Odin again. But I thought flashing a original Samsung stock Rom is perfectly legal. Isnt it? Also they can figure out easily that I flashed a ROM because the phone is from Greece and came with a Greek keyboard and a greek ROM. I had to flash a European ROM in order to be able to write in normal letters on the keyboard. I dont even have the original ROM any more and its not on the Internet either. So...
Don't you think its fine if I just send it in like it is now? Unrooted with a original Samsung stock ROM?

thanks but not on the list. I think the name of the greek ROM ends with XXKL8. I will call in at Samsung as soon as its business hours and ask them again about it. But I know a Polish guy who asked Polish Samsung about the same thing and he got the answer that flashing a original Samsung ROM does NOT void the warranty.
just do the unrooting process.above...then there you go ...your phone is not rooted now..

1. Mobile odin, however I've personally never used it. There are probably guides out there somewhere how to return the phone to stock.
2. You may still be under samsung's warranty period, they don't care if your phone is rooted and will fix hardware problems. They will flash the most recent stock rom and firmware they have to your phone so you'd have to re root it.

The link below should take you to the mb1 file. This will wipe everything and should take you back to stock 4.1.2. I have not done this method in a while so if something borks im sorry for mentioning it.

Thanks for your help I was able to get a usb connection enough and I used Odin on my laptop. The only problem I have now is that the custom unblock symbol appears when I boot up the phone. Any idea how to remove that now that root is gone? Ignore the following words...my phone won't let me edit them out. Thanks again.
Edit: it looks like the file I used was a 4.0.4 image. For return purposes is it fine if it's the older version? There should be no signs of root now. I'll keep checking for updates though

You should be able to go into settings and factory reset your phone and then try taking the ota.

Thanks for your help throughout this process. I definitely was pretty frazzled at the whole thing !

I would, if you have an ics rom they will be able to tell something is off. It should accept an OTA update. If you can odin again, use the vrblk3 image and accept the ota to vrbmb1. It may not be updating due to to the jump from ics to the most recent base. That will make sure you're completely back to stock, with a locked bootloader, and a stock recovery.
