Always remember when you flash through Odin, if you see FAILED DO NOT ever disconnect the TAB from the computer. You will lose the connection between the TAB and computer

So I suggest you try this trick which sometimes work for the Galaxy S

Switch off the TAB. Hold down both volume buttons and then at the same time plug in the usb into your TAB  from the computer.  When you see activity let go of the buttons . It should put you into download mode  . If you reach this stage , launch Odin and reflash roto JME

When you flash recovery, did you check the CFRoot file should be in tar format and not over extracted ?

Will try the trick later, really thx for your help and suggestion.
File CFRoot file is in zip and i extract it become tar format. I flashed using the tar format. What did you mean 'not over extracted'?

At least now we see some life back to the TAB. So try a hardware reset to see whether you csn boot it back ?

Reset Galaxy Tab with Hardware Keys

Make sure tab is turned off, Press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds to turn it off.
Press and hold the “Volume Up” and “Power” buttons at the same time, when logo appears on the screen release the “Power” button and continue press the “Volume” button
When recovery screen appears use “Volume Up/Down” buttons to navigate and select “wipe data / Factory reset” by pressing the “Home” or “Power” button (Depends on Galaxy Tab model).

Found this on xda for you.Hope it helps.

The phone --!-- computer problem is solvable.

Power off your phone, and power it back on with holding the volume down button, when you see the --!-- sign release the buttons.

You are now in download mode, although you cant see the little android with the shovel. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and you will be able to reflash it.

Just got my first bill (digi smartplan). It surprises me because its only RM63 (minus RM5 from RM69 becaused of auto billing)+ 5% tax although I made a few phone call and several sms. The detailed listing show that unlimited internet cost is just RM53 and the calls and sms is another RM10. I thought smart plan doesn't include calls/sms charges in the RM63/month.

Based on this thread and the previous Galaxy Tab thread, I have recorded 79 users using the Tab. I was really surprised. I was guess estimating perhaps around 30 only !!
So it is indeed quite a popular choice.
Today is my 11th day using it and learning new things, loving it every day.

I think we could arrange a meetup makan-minum TC session one of these days , maybe on a weekend after CNY to share. Those interested in such an event, please indicate your interest
I have been attending Apple MacFest, Palmers and Windows Mobile meetup but yet to meetup with any Androiders
