Take down the details of your firmware and baseband. Checkup whether these are on samfirmware.com. If so, download a copy of it , keep on PC. You need odin to flash back these files. Once you change kernel, the new kernel will be backup together with your original rom - so just by looking at the kernel version - Samsung will know you have flash the rom even with same firmare and baseband

My advise to all is always if you worry about warranty, don't root and don't flash. In the event something unfortunate happen, just got to live with the consequences of possible need to pay for repair etc. My experience with Samsung and even with HTC has been very good - I never have problem with claiming warranty even with phone rooted and phone flashed

HTC : Old model Dopod U1000 - i brick the unit as my negligence forgot to take out simcard. It is a Msian unit - I sent in to HTC Harbour Court ; straightaway they knew I flash a rom . I just told them the truth. The motherboard was " fried" and I got a replacement MB FREE of charge. I bought a HTC Touch Pro AP set rooted and on cook rom - GPS was erratic and most of time fails. I sent it back to the seller at Subang Square and similarly motherboard replace FOC

Samsung Galaxy S : This is the best and I always repeat it here in the forum - I brick it 3 times due to my experiments testing flashing rom ( beyond what the developer's instructions just to see result ). And in all 3 occasions , I sent in to Samsung Service Centre - they just flash back and I got it back 2-4 hours later and again is free all three times.

which samsung service center ? KL/Selangor one ? i have super bad experience with samsung service center (PG), same issue they take two month x 3 time but problem never fix ........ btw is samsung omnia

AP set bought in lowyat but I send to spore Singapura plaza as nearer my place vs KL

+1 Penang samsung sucks ..... Took them 3 trials to replace a faulty OMNIA HD screen . Can consider them as Suck-sung

no wonder ... sg service center come with knowledge ..... penang one come with BS only, they blame everything to u ...

no choice..tis is Malaysia standard..not only penang..even kuching also the same..i call them ask abt battery problem.. they just keep saying issit i din charge properly...and i keep telling them it show 'full' already how to say not charge properly.. they really take me 3 yrs old and charging hp also duno .. sigh.. luckily after i did the hard reset of my tab tat time, it turn normal..save my trip and energy go there i still prefer last time samsung's auth service centre..din even ask me anything directly ask me sent to them..then 2 days later post back to me.. but i think depend who the one handle the case only..

some time it force us to talk louder, else they won't listen ....

New official firmware released ?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I renamed all to 600x1024, the Papago worked very well (except the menu float in the center instead at right site). However, Fruit Slice cannot be played anymore, and Raging Thunder II back to small screen. When unticked the "compatibility mode" in Spare Part, the "fruit slice" is functioning well (small screen), and Raging Thunder II in full 7 inch, BUT,Papago cannot launch with the Compatibility mode un-ticked.

Tried uninstall and reinstall those games, problem still persist.

Sometime samfirmware.com firmware cannot be updated via Odin ( I tried JK2 / JMA ).
So I "brick" the tab via Odin before sending back for warranty (during the kernel download, unplug the cable).
When sending back time, you mentioned your problem and said it "brick" when updating firmware via kies.

Got new problem. Just collected my tab from service center & all settings are gone. they flash new firmware DXKM2. i made backup using titanium backup so now i wanna restore back. First step is install z4root but i can't get it to root. Both temp & permanent cannot. Could the new firmware block it? What shall i do now.? Thnx

Use Superoneclick to root it

need some help here...my samsung tab is taiwan version which is plug is same with US one...what should i do to charge my tab? is it ok if using malaysia charger or it'll burn my tab???please help...at back my tab rated: 5V / 2A...thanx in advance...

oh shi- i think i just bricked my Tab.

tried to flash to Overcome v1.4 without noticing the sticky about protected bootloaders in XDA.

and now the Tab has gone into 'phone-!-computer' mode. tried volume up + power, nothing happens. tried volume down + power, nothing happens too.

HELP!

----------
update:
MANAGED TO GET INTO OS! PHEW!

1. I pressed the 'volume down + power' to go into Download mode (i think so) even though the screen shows 'phone-!-computer' mode.
2. I downloaded Roto JME Pre-rooted firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ight=rotohammer
3. Open Odin 1.7 and put the PIT file and the full JME firmware into PDA
4. Flash it, and then pray hard.
5. SUCCESS!

phew.

------------------------
another update:

After done the above methods, I installed the bootloader checker from Chainfire. Patched the bootloader, and installed Overcome v1.4, and then I replaced the Overcome Kernel with richardtrip's kernel. It is said that the battery life with richardtrip's is far greater than the latest Overcome's kernel.

Added on March 28, 2011, 11:56 pmRead post #3 Q2 on rooting issues and benefits - few links posted there

The most popular/stable rom :

Maintain default RFS file system : Rotohammer JMI ( you need to flash modem separately )

EXT4 file system: Modaco R1 or Overcome 1.4.0

Refer post#3 for a quick guide on issues related to roms

thank you boss...

Sent my TAB to service for the second time in weeks now. First it was battery indicator jumping about now, they've upgraded the firmware after that. Couple of days later, the phone turns itself off for no reason while in the middle of use; and the battery indicator wasn't fixed as well.

If this doesn't solve the problem I'm going to demand for a replacement unit.
