Complete Fix for Galaxy GT-P1000
If you screwed like me your galaxy tab including partitions, but you still have chance to start it in Upload mode by pressing power button and volume down, this procedure will save your device.
A couple of remarks only.
Remark 1:
A lot of people claim to have a guide that works, but every single guide i tried just didn’t. So i decided to post this one for desperate people like me that will attempt any guide out there, with no result.
Remark 2 :
It’s moronic to use some file sharing or file upload service that will delete your files after a while or that will be shut down by feds after a while, so i used my google drive account.
Extract all files from above linked package into a directory
Heimdal for mac (the version i used)
Use the following command line to upload the files to your galaxy.
Cmd line command:
heimdall flash –repartition –CACHE cache.rfs –DBDATAFS dbdata.rfs –FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs –pit gt-p1000_mr.pit –IBL+PBL boot.bin –MODEM modem.bin –PARAM param.lfs –SBL Sbl.bin –SBL2 Sbl.bin –KERNEL zImage –RECOVERY zImage –HIDDEN hidden.rfs –MOVINAND movinand.mst –verbose
Not sure if it is really needed but after this operation i started the device in .. let’s call it install mode by pressing power button and volume up, together.
Then it restarted
If you are in trouble just drop me a comment, i usually answer within a couple of days or minutes 😉

Hello, while doing this procedure, have you had your tablet plugged in the PC ? And where exactly should I write the commands?
Hi, when you use Heimdal, yes you must have your tab plugged to the pc and the command should be typed into the command line interface / terminal / shell.
Cheers
L’article pourrait être intéressant, le problème avec les traducteurs automatiques, c’est qu’on ne comprend rien 🙁
How is it possible? i could understand what you wrote and i don’t speak French…
hi bro ,,, can you make it more easier, my tab “P1000 is dead i mean totaly dead i cant even go to the down load mod ,,, help me please if you dont mind..
Hi there, what do you exactly see when you turn it on?
cant turn it on of off, it start by it self with the pic of phone and PC then it goes off for 10 to 15 mints.
Hm it’s seems to me that it’s the download mode the one it starts into when turned on. Does it happen when you plug it into the usb port of the pc? if yes that sounds good to me, just assume that it’s on download mode and give it a try (follow the guide since then). Let me know
sir, mine is something different……normally its tottaly dead also while connecting to the computer via usb….but when i connect it to the charger ,…the screen turn on with the sign of bricked .and screen is blinking {blinking time interval is 1 or 2 sec)
please help me……………………………thanks////………….
My tab doesn’t go past the samsung logo stage,it keeps rebooting itself at that point.I saw this solution but I use windows pc.Will it work for me?
Not sure if you are still monitoring this post or not, but I am trying to revive my GT-P1000 using your post. I’ve downloaded everything, but when I enter the command into my terminal, I get the following message:
Invalid argument: –repartition
Please let me know if you have any information or advice. I really appreciate it!
I think you are not using a mac.
With Ubuntu i have the following help for the “flash” action and all the argument have two hypens and not one.
Hope this solves your problem.

Action: flash|-- [...]]]|-- [...] ]]]
Arguments:
--repartition --pit

[--pit

Description: Flashes one or more firmware files to your phone. Partition names
(or identifiers) can be obtained by executing the print-pit action.
WARNING: If you're repartitioning it's strongly recommended you specify
all files at your disposal.
No…I’m definitely on OS X (10.10.2) and even with two hyphens the error is the same, for example:
heimdall flash –-repartition -–pit p1000_mr.pit –-CACHE cache.rfs –-DBDATAFS dbdata.rfs -–FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs -–IBL+PBL boot.bin -–MODEM modem.bin -–PARAM param.lfs -–SBL Sbl.bin -–SBL2 Sbl.bin –-KERNEL zImage –-RECOVERY zImage –-HIDDEN hidden.rfs –-MOVINAND movinand.mst --verbose
will get me
Invalid argument: –-repartition
I’m feeling quite helpless about this Galaxy Tab…
Hi, what’s the output of heimdall with no parameters? with that command you should be able to see which are the accepted parameters, maybe they changed it into something else..
Let me know
Giuseppe
I had the same issue with the repartition arguments and after some try’n’error, this fixed it for me:
heimdall flash -repartition gt-p1000_mr.pit -CACHE cache.rfs -DBDATAFS dbdata.rfs -–FACTORYFS factoryfs.rfs -–IBL+PBL boot.bin -–MODEM modem.bin -–PARAM param.lfs -–SBL Sbl.bin -–SBL2 Sbl.bin -KERNEL zImage -RECOVERY zImage -HIDDEN hidden.rfs -MOVINAND movinand.mst –verbose
Hi, you should put — (two hyphens)
Absolutely works on 10.10.2, just fixed mine, thank you!
Soft Brick GT P1000 (pic of phone and computer) do i have to have a mac to use heimdall? I have Windows 7 x64 cant open the .dmg file
No i use either a mac or Ubuntu, not sure there is something for windows though
hola
mi tab p1000l se apago y no enciende esta toda negra solo cuando carga encienden los botones no he podido recuperarla aprieto el boton encendido y abajo conectada a la compu yno aparece nada como hacerle para que aparezca en la compu y poder instalar el sofware o archivos que perdio
Respected Sir,
I am currently using linux mint. Would like to try your method. When switched on my tab shows the phone and computer symbol with the caution symbol in the middle. But I am able to get into upload mode rather than download mode. After connecting to my linux mint pc should I type the commands in terminal window?? Should I extract the files to any specific directory?
Is the command different for linux mint?
Eagerly waiting for your reply
THANK YOU
Hi, yes, if I remember correctly it was slightly different for mac. I advise you to run the command (not sure which one you’re referring at) with the -h or –help switch so you can easily see how it should be.
Hey,my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 i got bored with the original rom,so i found one ROM,and tried to install it,i know how to do it i have done it a million times on my other phones,so i put my phone in download mode,and connect it to PC,and do everything,press start,and then it says ,,All threats completed failed”.Something like that i dont remember,and it got stock in download mode,i just powered it off on the power button,but it showed me the: phone !
