Finally, got Overcome v2 flavor on my 2 days old SGT. Thank you for your tutorials benny!
btw, it seems more complicated kalau nak banding dgn straight forward nexus one root & flash method. Take me 2 days to understand it. however, i still confused with my Odin notification. i got 1 success and 1 failed.
Refer to the attachment below..

Don't panic. If you cannot switch it on, there is one way to revive it. I am assuming you know how to use Odin

1. First charged the TAB for at least 4-5 hours to ensure it has full charge
2. Put Tab into download mode -  Press power+volume button down at the same time. You will either see Download mode or a computer--!-- Phone  release the buttons. If this comes up, you are safe and your Tab can be revived
3. Connect it to a pc with an odin 1.7 open and flash Rotohammer JME ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ight=rotohammer )  select repartition, PIT

Your Tab 3rd party apps, data , settings will be wipe clean

Thanks for the quick reply beny.

I already charge it for 5 hours now. However, the Tab still wont wake up even i do the number 2 step. No light or boot up to 'Download' mode. hmm.gif

Hi guys, as i mention earlier on this thread a weeks ago, my Tab is dead. Cannot turn on, cannot connect to pc etc. Then i decide to send it to Samsung Center. Today, I got a call from them. They said, i VOID the warranty because i root the TAB. They also said something is fault with the motherboard because of it..
I must pay around RM700 if i want they repair the TAB. mad.gif

now im in dilema. Want to repair or not? What your opinion guys? icon_question.gif

have you already full re-charge your tab & swith on to download mode?
QUOTE(enaleni @ Jun 26 2011, 07:27 PM)
im sorry to hear about ur tab bro..... that mean for rm700 they claim u to pay for the motherboard.... one case i found in sgs thread he cant turn on his sgs and then he sending for claim to samsung... but samsung find out his motherboard totally burn out bcoz he OC his sgs till burn.... so he gonna replace his mobo.....

but so unlucky to you... im so sory to hear that bro..... if u think its worth to paid it go on.... its all on ur hand.... ur decision... anything good luck...
QUOTE(benny888 @ Jun 26 2011, 07:33 PM)
You mean you cannot even put in recovery mode through the hard buttons ?? If you can, it can be restored back using Odin
If motherboard replacement needed, that is the usual costs around RM 800. However I don't think rooting cause motherboard failure
QUOTE(epul @ Jun 26 2011, 07:54 PM)
its quite true way u said.onlu rooting maa.only reason so sme no need to burden the cost of repair

Yes. Its like a hard brick. Nothing can wake up the Tab. I already try all the combination of keys that i found on google, i try charge it using 3rd party charger, i try connect it to pc but nothing can wake up the Tab.

enaleni, yes, its burn because of the OC method but im not doing it on my Tab. Just Overcome default setting and default kernel etc. Thanks btw. im still trying to figure out if someone can repair it with less cost. Otherwise, im sending back to Samsung.

benny, Yes. I cannot even put in on and no recovery mode, no download mode. wow, the motherboard cost rm800? Then, Samsung Center is cheaper.
btw, i also think its not about rooting or bootloader unlocking. i'm thinking of:

1st, how do they know my Tab is rooted? its already dead. hardly dead.
2nd, they changed the broken hardware and boot it up, and they founded my Tab is rooted. , but they transfer the costing of hardware to me because im root it even the problem is coming from them?

Hi guys, found this thread on XDA.


HARD BRICK
Unit does not power up, visibly charge, reach a boot-screen of any kind including a service or "download" screen. A device in this state requires service from the manufacturer or an individual equipped with the proper tools. There is no other way to recover a device in this state. (SpaceMoose1)

and a Debricking/Unbrick/Brick FIX service.
