First thing you will need to do is download a few things from the page.
We need -
P1000XWJK1 ## P1.PIT Version 2.2 2010 November (Located in the Europe section at the bottom)
Then scroll to the bottom of the page and look for -
NEW Odin: DOWNLOAD Version 1.7
Once you have all the files in a folder on your desktop. Open up the Odin folder and extract and you will see 2 files Odin and a PIT file.
Open up Odin and look to the right, load up the PIT file that was included in the folder.
You then need to extract the .tar file from P1000XWJK1 that you downloaded. Once you have extracted it go back to Odin and load the .tar file in to the PDA section an tick the box.
Now that were ready to flash you must prepare the tab -
You will need to take both sim card and SD card out before we do this.
Once both have been removed turn the device off. Now power back on holding Volume down + home key.
You should now be in download mode - This is a black and yellow screen with an Android bot stood in a triangle digging. Once you are at this stage you are ready to flash.
Double check that the only options checked are -
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
PDA
Once you are happy hit the start button. You should now see Odin doing its thing and also the tab will show a progress bar. Once flashed you can check if the flash was successful by checking with *#1234#
As always
Remember to back up anything important that is stored on the phones memory as this may be lost during the flashing process.
Hope this helps
Funnily enough, I did this myself this morning.
I had to flash JJ4 first, and when I did it booted into Russian, however sticking JK1 over the top brought everything back to English.
Once JK1 booted, the only issue I had is that it wouldn't connect with Google servers when trying to setup my Gmail account. However, exiting out of the setup wizard and doing it manually worked fine.
I'm still setting my Tab up again, but two things I've already noticed are:
1. I can now use the Samsung Email app with the Google Apps for Domains accounts and Exchange ActiveSync - in the original firmware, whilst a normal Gmail account would work fine with Exchange ActiveSync, but none of my Apps for Domains would. Now they work ok.
2. I can get to non-Mobile web sites in a reliable manner! Woo hoo, full BBC iPlayer instead of the mobile version!
Regards,
Dave
UPDATE - I made a Titanium Backup for everything before I flashed my Tab, but I didn't think about it too much and now realize that Titanium didn't backup to external SD but to the internal memory which was wiped.
Not a particularly big deal as I can download it all and set it up again, but I did lose a few preinstalled items, including "Samsung Games" and NOVA.
A bigger concern was that I couldn't sign into Market over WiFi (though 3G worked ok). GTalk wouldn't start either and since Market uses the GTalk protocol, this was clearly related.
I factory reset my Tab again, and this time I could sign into Google via the setup wizard ok (unlike my previous attempt) and having done this Market worked fine.
Regards,
Dave
JJ4.. I have PDA - JJ3 and CSC JJ2. which one counts?
And also, how do I flash JJ4 ?''
EDIT: I tried flashing JJ4. Odin freezes -
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/009> Odin v.3 engine (ID:9)..
<ID:0/009> File analysis..

what am I doing wrong ?
I have yet to flash a full rom on my tab yet so I cant help you. Id assume that its pretty much the same as flashing a partial rom.
I think if your flashing JJ4 then you should tick the 're-partition' box. Have you tried this?
My question is are you getting 3g after doing this flash??

Yes- Everything works fine for me.
Noob question, but what does flashing this ROM do that is beneficial? What does the new ROM do that the old did not?
Main reason for people flashing this partial rom is -
Issues with the UAString in all browsers. When trying to navigate to lets say bbc iplayer it would re-direct to the mobile version. After flashing you will be able to view 'full' sites. If you already can then Id say you do not need to flash...

Ah, makes sense. I was hoping this had something to do with getting the phone AND 3G to work . It seems right now I can either have one or the other, but not both. Then again, I can't even get my tab to work with my normal TMO sim card, it just redirects to the tmo website if you try to go anywhere besides google .
Ok thanks

languages are lost with the flash with jk1?
the Italian is lost?
this is probably a stupid question but how do i know which version do i have and whats the difference/benefits of one over the other?
Know my way around flashing on HTC phones and have dabbled in development in my time, but unfortunately on the Tab, I am a complete newb, so...
<newb>
..the how-to discusses flashing JK1 over JJ4. As far as I can tell, I have JJ3 - i.e. my build number is FROYO.XWJJ3 and my baseband is P1000XXJID.
Can I flash JK1 directly over JJ3? As far as I can tell, all of the firmwares on Samifirmware are now complete - i.e. they have an asterisk marked "no full firmware" but none of the European firmwares have this asterisk, by which I assume they're complete and stand alone?
Also, what are the benefits of JK1 v JJ3? About the only thing I don't like about my Tab at the moment is that it takes an inordinately long time to connect to my home wifi network. If I watch it connecting in the settings page, it seems to fail to get an IP address in the first attempt (in that it sits at that point for a while, then disconnects from the wifi network) - the second attempt gets an IP fine. (And before anyone says "it must be your router", I have about a dozen devices on my network, ranging from Macs, PCs, Android phones, iOS devices and nothing else has any trouble). Is JK1 likely to improve that?

Im not sure about improving your signal as this would be to do with the radio..
I think you can flash JK1 over JJ4..

Hi,
Finally got my galaxy tab to work after 6 hours. Now it is running well.
As it is 4 am here, i will post a guide for Singapore users once i wake up as i have meet with problems during the whole process.
Luckily, all information can be found on this forum but just that you will have to read through 20 plus pages from different topic in order to get the answer.
Super happy with my phone now!
*just another newbie* =)

Sorry to steal your thread. Singaporean tab user here as well. I think we should constantly update this thread for singapore users. I was running dxjm4 up til this morning when i decided to flash to roto-jme. spent the last few days reading the thread and considering whether to upgrade or not because of the lack of information for singapore users. so i decided to take the plunge and just go for the upgrade no risk no gain. my tab got stucked at the samsung logo after it auto rebooted but it was fine after i manually rebooted it
what i did was to upgrade from jm4 instead full flashing my tab. it turned out fine so far but there's one thing that puzzles me. the apps that roto mentioned were removed are still in my tab such as daily briefing etc.. do u have this problem as well?
Not Too Sure... I am new to Galaxy Tab or rather Android =P
But i suggest you do a full flash again.
i wasn't ready to even root my device initially as i only gotten my Tab on Saturday 7th Jan 2011.
One thing that actually forced me to root and flash the rom is the stock version whether bug or not i just couldn't sync with my company exchange 2010, which is critical for me.
Nonetheless, i haven't tried the jme v4 as yet (I suppose) as i did not know how to get it to work.
All i did was follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
And all went well, except that Data doesn't work.
Thoughout the whole process i did not use the file name "Roto-JME-Full-v4"
which set me thinking whether did i actually do the right thing.
One thing is most of the stock app was gone, baseband was change to I9000UGJK3, Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 and Build number is Froyo.XXJME.

Root devices *Important Points
And Yes i woke up...
Anyway i do not gain credit from the guide itself as everything can be found in this forum. If you want to thank people, please thank the people that writes the program and the trial & error people if you find my thread useful. I am just consolidating all the steps that i used to flash my Tab, important things to take note of and etc...
Step by step guide to Rooting:
Please read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
*Important points to Note when Rooting"
Process:
1) Connect your galaxy tab with debugging mode disabled and sync with Kies even once - You must be damn sure Kies can connect to your phone
2) Disconnect it and enable debugging mode from Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
3) Connect the tab again to PC and click on home button so that Tab comes out of Kies connection - I found that after USB Debugging is turn off, Kies can still find your phone but it will just appear as Connecting... on the top left hand side of Kies. (I left my Kies on throughout the process)
4) Launch SuperOneClick.exe
5) Click on root and wait for 5-10 Mins - it stated 5 - 10 min but it took like 5 - 10 sec for SuperOneClick to prompt me saying that device is rooted.
And that all for Rooting whole process took me about 5 min Including all the reading. (Simple Great Job by SuperOneClick!)
Now comes the slightly complicated part: Flashing New Roms
Below is the thread that is used
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827
What i did was:
1) Download OdinV3 1.7 (Provided in the thread 895827)
2) Download Addon-JME-Modem.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
3) Download P1_add_hidden.pit (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
4) Download Roto-JME-FmtIntSD.zip (http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
Additional:
I also downloaded (But till now i have not use any of the file below)
1) Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/archive/)
2) Roto-JME-Upgrade-v4.zip ( http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-Galaxy-Tablet/Rotohammer/JME/)
Why is it not used, i myself is not too sure. For FmtIntSD alot of people is asking which is it to use as there are 2 different version 1 & 2 (i Suppose).
I have used the Version 1, as the time posted in the FTP link seem to be later than Version 2.
Also as thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895827 shows in the screenshot, under tab CSC: Addon-JME-Hidden.Tar, this file is missing plus confirmation from the thread saying that it will fine without it.
Once downloaded, it is time to get to business =)
Steps i took:
1) Startup Odin
2) Connect Galaxy Tab to Kies make sure Kies is able to connect to the device and is able to Sync with device (Toggle with the USB Debugging option Either On or OFF) *My kies is never turn off from the start Rooting to Flashing* i think in order for Odin to work properly, Kies must be able to detect the device is been plugged in. (Just my Thought)
3) At this point of time Odin will also detect the device been plugged in as show in the screenshot provided in thread 895827. The yellow box will appear stating COM10 or 11 or 12 (DOesn't matter what com Number)..... Left hand bottom of ordin will also show Added!
Checked Make sure and double checked.... Yeah the next part!!!
4) Unplugged my phone from the USB
5) Off my phone
5) On my phone to get to the downloading mode (Hold Power Button and Volume Down Button)
6) Checked my Odin, Bottom left log shows REMOVED!
Hell Ya exactly the same as the sceenshot.....
7) Plugged in my phone with the Downloading screen....
8) Waited.... Waited..... 5 min pass..... Windows 7 is still searching for "Gadget Serial Port" Odin didn't detect the device connected.... don't have to worry Windows 7 will eventually find the driver, just got to give it sometime (Just in case you meet with the same problem like i did, Windows 7 took almost 10 min for the device to be ready)
9) Check Odin, Bottom left hand log.... ADDED!
Almost there.....
10) Plant in all the .Tar file as show in screenshot (Thread 895827)
*Please make sure you unzip the .rar file the logo is similar to winrar icon once you unzip. Can get a little messy, what i did was unzip and delete the original zip file that i downloaded. Remember JME-Hidden.Tar is not needed, just leave it blank*
11) Tick the "Re-partition" in Odin
Now you are all ready to start, double check all the setting and click the "Start" in Odin... =)
12) Pray.... Pray... Pray....
Whole process took me about 5 min, Odin will show you the details as it is flashing, Installing and Bla Bla Bla.... Once it is ready, Odin will prompt you either Successful or Failed...
Phone will automatically restart. Just leave it till you see the main screen comes out.
* I Succeed on my first try, so if you fail i guess you got more reading to do than me, but i am sorry that i am unable to help if you fail at this point*
Now then all good, checked my phone all seem well... did a call to my house number, Working....
Now the complication that i faced: My 3G (data Services) is NOT RUNNING!!!!
Did a search on the forum and found a few threads that is helpful:
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901021
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845263&highlight=modem.bin&page=3
3) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273&highlight=modem_bell_i9000
* I Have attached the modem.bin that i use to get my 3G working, but before you download the attachment please do a few check as stated below.Things to check if your 3G (Data Service) is not working:
1) APNs setting
Setting>Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names
2) Select the Access Point Names and see if there is any setting inside.
3) If it shows "No Setting"
4) Tab on the bottom left hand corner of your galaxy tab, "MENU" button beside the "Home" buttom
5) select "Add APN"
6) Use the information below, key in whatever is there. Those that you don't know just leave it blank. (As long as your are in Singapore i believe you know which telco you are with)
StarHub (Singapore)
APN: shwap or shwapint
Leave user/pass blank.
M1 (Singapore)
APN: sunsurf
user: 65 pass:
user123
swirlyMMS :
MMSC and Proxy server settings MMSC : http://mmsgw:8002/
Proxy : 172.16.14.10:8080
MMS-specific APN Settings
APN: miworld
username:65
password:user123
SingTel (Singapore)
APN: internet
Username: 65IDEAS (or blank)
Password: IDEAS (or blank)
Once Key-in "MENU" button again and safe the setting, now go back to your APNs and check to see if you have selected the setting you key-in (Button on the right hand side will be "GREEN"
Now Wait & Pray that the logo "3G" or "H" appear on the top beside your signal strenght bar.
if no launch your dialer (Press Phone) and Dial *#2263# select "automatic" 1st option. (Select it once and exit by pressing "HOME" or "BACK")
Wait & Pray....
I believe this should get it going as under JME-Modem.zip, the modem should already be in.
__________________ I sincerely hope that you do not have to do the step below________________________________________________
If the 3G or H is still not showing after you tried the above step. Download the modem.bin (Attachment in this thread modem_bell_i9000.zip)
Then follow the step below:
1) Unzip the file
2) startup Odin
3) Browse for the Modem.bin, using Odin "Phone" Tab (File you unzip from the attachment downloaded from here)
4) off your phone and boot it up to the "DOWNLOADING SCREEN"
Checklist:
5) Re-partition is NOT tick
6) Odin detect your device
Hit "Start" and wait for your phone to reboot.
*I succeed with this flashing of modem, if you fail all i can say is good luck*
Once your phone is up, check on the APNs setting again (Key-in the details is there is nothing in the list) Check on *#2263# and set it as automatic.
Then End.....
Conclusion:
I use the exact same step for my phone, and get it going. I hope it helps you.
Again i would want to highlight that none of the above is by me, all information can be found in thread posted by other users. Please give thanks to them as they are the one doing the job, taking risk to try ROMs, Root and etc...
=) i hope my thread helps anyone with the same problem as me...
PS: DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE IF THE ABOVE GUIDE DOESN"T WORK FOR YOU.
Hi Kay Kiat,
I Seriously don't know. See the steps i posted, i believe it is because i flash a i9000 modem in that is why my baseband is weird. =p
i believe all i need to do is to re-flash the Jme modem in, and it should be right.
But currently at work no time to try. haha
Best Regards
Hi guys, Singapore GT user here also. Looking forward to try out your guide.
EDIT: Just flashed Roto's JME-Full-v4 with repartition. All works fine. No modem flash required.

Hi,
wanted to share my experience from flashing this Rom.
The way I've done it is download the latest full version find in the ftp site (not the archive) directory and using Odin to fladh my tab. I also downloaded all the other files but did not use them.
Overall, this rom is good. It solved my exchange problem but i've lost a few things as well. There's no more chinese input and i'm no longer able to zoom and pinch on dolphin browser. Does anubody has any solutions to these problems?
Thx.

The Roto-JME-Full-v4 will format the internal sdcard only if it is corrupted. So you can shorten the steps to just flashing that one firmware. The ones in the archive are there just in case we needed to test something.
APN settings
Hi
Did you guys copy down the APN settings and did you manage to get your MMS working? I only have my 3G working. Was trying out the different settings to get MMS working too.
ps: for chinese input, can just install google pinyin. been using it since Im only android. swype does have chinese input but the one on the tab doesnt have it. I was testing the beta using my hero and i can do chinese input using the swype keyboard. i wonder if there is anyway to update the swype version to the latest one released by them.

You'll need to goto Setting-Locale and text, check the Penpower Input Method. After that, at any input screen, press & hold - then select the input method.

I'm going insane... my Note 2 was working just fine yesterday but today in the afternoon, i began to search the web trying to find a way to get Mass Storage back on the Note 2 perhaps someone out there created a custom app for it. Well i ended up finding one called " SGS3 Easy UMS " everything worked fine though i couldn't transfer to the internal drive. I ejected it from the pc then put it to mount the sd card back to the Samsung .. it said the card wasn't found and it couldn't mount, i managed to get it working again by restarting the Samsung however now i can't transfer files properly to the Samsung. It keeps switch either between the " Cannot Copy Item The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected " or an strange bug in which you drag a folder or multiple and loads them right away into the phone without showing the transfer bar, if you look into it and check you'll notice folders are incomplete and if you tried to put multiple files it would screw up [ for example a music file played its proper song then suddenly switches to one of the song it was transferred with like they got merged ]
I'm going not nuts nothing im doing is working and no one else seems to be having this problem.

The app you are using is made for a different device. The SGS3 appear similar but aren't actually similar at all by the way they are built. My suggesting is to reflash stock and that will probably solve your issue. Maybe after a few weeks someone might find a way to get mass storage on our device but for now the sgs3 one is instable.

i doubt that is the issue since i can't transfer anything even into the internal sdcard, I'll give the Perseus kernel a try.
UPDATE: Been trying to add CWM i hadn't before but during install via Odin3 once it gets to recovery.img it just stays there, the program doesn't crash or anything but it just stays loading recovery.img forever
UPDATE 2: I let it stay loading recovery after a good long while it eventually said "FAIL!"

UPDATE 2: Note 2 got all screwed up after trying to install the Perseus kernel but the logo still appeared though all screwy.. i nuked the phone and set to back to full stock and got it up and running, then i rerooted it using the Toolkit provided on this site. File Transfers still don't work properly.
UPDATE 3: Uninstalled drivers completely , unplugged phone, reinstalled drivers using Toolkit, replugged phone. File transfers still not working. I'm afraid to try to install the kernel again though admittedly it was first time trying like this .. i had used odin to try and install with pda like the other tar files but thats what screwed up my phone. Im not going to try again since i can't find cleat instructions on how to. For now i'll just use my Samsung Galaxy Media Player 5.0 to transfer files into my external sd card then just switch back to the Note 2.
Easy button for rooted users:
Installing Recovery: Play Store > GooManager > Install custom recovery script
Installing Kernel: Recovery > Install Perseus .zip file
It's disappointing that we have to jump through hurdles to get MTP to work. :/

At the moment im just transfering stuff in my mircosd from my galaxy media player.. i'll definitely give this a try. Though before i do i just want to let you know that i used the toolkit and the All-one rooting it provides .. it wont conflict will it ?
[ Bump ]
Forgive me for bring this post back but i just want to report that i have successfully flashed Perseus into my Note and it has in fact restored file transfers!
Thank very much to everyone who provided aid. I really appreciate it. ^ ^
UPDATE: N/m .. it was working only for a little while and it soon returned to the whole " The Device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected "
It happened after switched to camera and back to MTP while the usb was still connected.
ugh.. back to square one

I get into Odin mode, attach the USB and Windows is hung "Installing device driver software MSM8960". I can't seem to find a driver. Perhaps I need to update my adk?
If I ignore it and press Start on ODIN3, it reports completion (I think) but the phone doesn't reboot and manually.

The ODIN screen on the phone says "Write protection: Enable" Is this a problem?
IF You think the drive is hanging or not installing properly..
Search for a program on net called
usbdview . run the program and look for usb devices that are duplicate and ones you do not have . remove them all . as well as any phone or tmobile driver..
Then uninstall and re install samsung Kies. it will install the latest drivers and adb for your phone...
then if odin has a issue its likely the cable or something in the device...
also check Device manager once the phone is plugged in to insure there is no yellow mark under the device...
i use my notebook for several android devices and this is a very common issue with drivers hanging when switching between devices..
Thanks for the reply.

Kies? I haven't installed that at all. I really don't care for manufacturer sync programs. I prefer to copy files to my devices. I'll have to install that.
Thanks for the reply.

Thanks again. I am rooted.
Now to figure out how to flash a new ROM. I want to try the Google experience ROM, but the instructions are kind of terse.
Flashing:
1. Boot to your recovery
2. Wipe data and cache
3. Install the zip
4. Reboot phone and have fun
1: OK
2: ?
3: ?
4. OK
Where's the PROFIT!?

Hi,
I have a GS2 that wasnt being used so I decided to set it up in my bedroom as more of an email checker / facebook browser. I installed a JB rom, setup all my apps that I wanted & used it once or twice. A week later (yesterday) I went to pick it up, saw it was off, hit the power button & nothing. I pulled the battery & found it was stuck at the GSII screen. I am able to get into download mode, so I used Odin (I have the drivers installed already) trying to restore back to stock.
I used HOME_SPH-D710_CL852097_user.tar with Odin (a few different versions), I also used a few different cables & two different PC's. It keeps getting stuck at the same point which is boot.bin.
I tried a bunch of the other 1 clicks such as SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Restore & others. The results are the same.
Any ideas what else i can try?
Thanks,
Rich
Are you giving it enough time? Take about 20 minutes for mine to complete. Possibly longer with usb 1.1?

Thanks guys, i am giving it plenty of time at this point it is collecting dust. I have tried multiple machines, multiple one clicks, multiple odin copies & restore files.
I can get into download mode but thats about it. I am at a complete loss on what to do.
There is one thing you can do... But for the life of me, I can't remember what it it called. What it does is partition your device in a way... You lose space but it fixes the issue.

Uninstall your samsung drivers and kies if its installed, then reinstall your device drivers. There' two ways you can do this, one is to have the device in download mode and connect it to usb, the other is to install the drivers via an exe package found here
Once Odin recognizes your device, place the tar file found here in the PDA slot and hit start. You might also try the oneclick.exe.
If this doesn't work, let me know.

I've tried your suggestions and am having no luck. I've tried different OCs and different cables and in different usb ports, on different computers even! I'm running out of ideas. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I also sort of gave up. I have a paper weight on my desk & would be great to have it as a backup. Any ideas would be great!
Any way you can grab me screen shots of the process? I'd like to see what the screen is doing when it gets stuck:beer:
Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul
I just encountered this problem myself. I downloaded rwilco's rooted oneclick nodata (which I have used a couple times in the past with flawless execution) and tried to reflash my ROM and it's stuck on the boot.bin. My phone's screen never changed from the default download screen with the ODIN count and warning messages and whatnot. This is the current ODIN log after 10 minutes of letting it sit here:

As you can see, it never actually starts updating the firmware because it can't get past the boot part. I've tried multiple USB ports (one of which was USB3.0) and I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers. I think it's rather obvious there is some sort of communication error between my phone and my computer T_T It's also worth mentioning that Kies will not connect to the phone either. Both Odin and Kies detect that a phone is connected to my PC, but neither software seem to be able to connect to it.
I'm currently in the process of downloading the fullrestore (which I know won't work) to see if that works as well as a copy of standalone odin + the tar versions of the ROM. I will update this post with any progress/news I might have.
On the off chance that maybe someone knows a workaround for the problem that sparked my attempt at re-flashing: Today my phone froze and I held the power button to restart as I always do in such a situation. However, upon restarting my phone just sat at the "Samsung Galaxy S2" logo screen. I tried several battery pulls (with and without the SD card inserted) only to find myself staring at that same exact screen. Also, holding power+home+volup does nothing. The only screen I can access is the download screen (power+home+voldown)
Updates:
Upon trying the rooted full restore oneclick I encountered the same exact problem.
Upon trying Odin 3.09 with rwilco's rooted nodata tar file, I received the following error: <ID:0/003> SetupConnection.. <ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.
Upon trying Odin 3.09 with the rooted nodata tar again on a different port, it started with NAND write and told me to wait a couple minutes before it gave up and just said failed.
I'm having an issue similar to this I think. I decided to reflash my phone I downloaded the oc I found on here and everything went fine but now when I press and hold the power button it don't power up. it just sits there. I can plug my charger in and it shows it is charging (the battery comes up) and I can get to DL mode but if I remove the charger and try to get to DL mode it says battery to low to enter download mode...what do I do?

Well, this is my final update because I no longer have the phone. I was eligible for an upgrade as of the day my phone bricked so I said screw it and got a GS4 ^_^
Wish I'd seen this sooner, uninstalling kies and reinstalling your drivers should have fixed this for you. Unless you had hardware failure, which doesn't appear to have been the case.

I'm rather sure it was hardware failure. At the Sprint store, the technician attempted several times to get my phone into anything other than download mode. Needless to say, he failed every time and I told him not to bother because all my contacts were synced to my Google and/or Facebook accounts anyway. They still did me a solid and bought it back from me after pretending they never saw the issue
Anyway, I'm loving the upgrades provided by my S4 so no worries on my end! Good luck to you guys.

Did you figure out if the battery was the issue?
To start out, some basic information. I got my SGH-T999 about 2 years ago and used it for about a year on the Stock ROM before proceeding to root the phone. The firmware version before things when went wrong was android 4.1.2. Everything was working fine until about a few days ago when the phone would stop being responsive after putting it into sleep mode, or the screen will turn black and the whole unit is unresponsive (the latter only occurring while I was in the home screen, not while running any apps. Rather, the phone would be fine while an app is running).
Troubleshoot Stage 1
Initialy, I thought there was some sort of app update that was causing this problem, and so I tried uninstalling a few apps that might have been culprits. Didn't work. On occasion, the phone would freeze up while i was trying to uninstall the app. So reading around, someone mentioned that it was possibly the TouchWiz Home that was acting up and I should, clear cache. So I rebooted into recovery (I had the clockworkmod recovery from the initial root). Cleared user data/factory reset as well as clear cache. Didn't work. At this point, the phone was restarting itself almost instantly after booting into the lock screen. I searched a bit more about why this would happen, and came across a post saying that I could be a faulty power button. I actually didn't want to physically alter my phone in any way, so I decided to try to do something with the software first before resorting to altering the physical phone.
Troubleshoot Stage 2
Next thought process was that maybe somehow an OTA was pushed onto my phone and now the firmware is screwed up because of it. So reading through many posts on XDA, I came upon this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687) for a pre-rooted version of 4.3. I figured, if I was going to re-flash the firmware, I might as well go to the latest one. I proceed to go through the process of flashing the firmware with Odin 1.85, leaving Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked. Odin flashes PASS message and I unplug the phone and wait for the reset. Phone starts up all the way past all the logos and to where the home screen was supposed to be. But there was no home screen, just a black screen with only the pull down menu at the top and a message saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working". This message would keep repeating even after pushing the ok button. Next thought process is, maybe TouchWiz is acting up still. So I boot to recovery, reset/format to factory, clear cache, and reboot. Now the phone wont boot past the Samsung logo. Tried to boot to recover again, phone won't boot to recovery anymore. Tried to re-flash the same exact firmware again and this time, odin had some trouble. It would sometimes stop working where it is loading the main code at which point I check the task manager to see if it is still running processes or utilizing any of the computer resources to communicate with the device. I would then have to unplug the phone and reset by removing the battery. This kept occurring about 2 more times before it successfully finished and on doing so, the original problem when I first flashed it was still there.
Troubleshoot Stage 3
Ok, maybe my phone doesn't like the pre-rooted firmware. Looked around XDA again and found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687) and downloaded the stock firmware. I stayed with android 4.3 because i read that I can no longer downgrade to a previous android version. Proceeded to flash the Stock firmware 4.3 using Odin 1.85. The process completed on the first try. SUCCESS!! Boot up phone, got past logo, home screen appeared. SUCCESS!! Here, I thought that I was done and my phone was finally working again. So I begin to tweak the settings for my own preferences. I didn't flash anything else or try to root the phone again. I was just plain using the Stock 4.3 firmware that I got from the thread above. After about 10 or so minutes of using the settings, the phone freezes and becomes unresponsive. Won't restart by holding the power button or return to the home screen with the home button. Only other option was to remove the batter and restart the phone. This time, the phone doesnt make it past the Samsung logo screen, and I can no longer boot into recovery. It was stuck on a boot loop and could only be turned off by removing the battery. It didn't occur to me that I should flash Clockworkmod Recovery to reset/format to factory and clear cache as I have read previously and thought that I could just re-flash the stock again. Nope, the same issue came up in Odin as it did with the pre-rooted firmware. Again, I went through the process of checking that Odin was no longer communicating with the phone before unplugging and restarting the procedures to flash the firmware. After about 3 times, the 4th time after unplugging, the screen that tells you "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". And when I try to flash again using odin, I get the following message

New problem! I now no longer have a PIT partition........and reading around, I found this thread (http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15719) of someone who has the same error message coming up in Odin. Thus, I found the PIT file via this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848267&page=4) using the link given by DocHoliday77. Downloaded the T999_16GB.pit as the back panel of my phone indicated that the phone was 16GB. I begin trying to flash with Odin 1.85, checking Auto Reboot, re-partition, and F. Reset Time, including the PIT file and using the Stock 4.3 firmware. This didn't work and only came up with the following error message

Tried, the same procedure with the pre-rooted 4.3 firmware, still the same message. And haven't gotten past this point since.
Looking back at what I choose to do to try an fix this shutting down problem, I realize there were a few things I could have tried before moving on. But now what I really want to figure out is whether or not my phone can be saved. What have I not tired and what is the end of end to rescue this phone or if its even worth rescuing. I read that JTAG would be the final resort, and I will take that into consideration. Any feedback on what procedures I could've missed would be great as well (for future reference). Thanks for reading this long post and I really do hope I can get this resolved.
I'll try to answer some of this but tbh, tl:dr.
I can very much appreciate a very thorough and detailed post when someone is asking for help. Don't take this the wrong way, but this was a bit much. I could've answered hours ago, but didn't have the time to read it. More importantly though, the majority of people will see how long it is and just close the thread and move on. Like I said, details are good to include, but it gets to a point where it's too overwhelming. Right now I don't even remember a good chunk of what you wrote, and I wasn't able to read it all to begin with.
Not trying to lecture you or anything, but wanted to address it in case it can help you in the future.
I'll try to answer what i can real quick... first, don't use Odin 1.85. That is a very old version. You should only use 3.07 or above. Best to stick with 3.09 or 3.10.
Try the pit file with one of those.
Put the pit file in the pit section and make sure re-partition is checked. Put the firmware in AP. F-Reset time and auto reboot should also be checked, but nothing else.
It does sound a lot like a faulty power switch probably caused all of this. The constant rebooting, crashing and boot looping can and will cause corruption. This is probably what happened to its internal pit. if so, it is very highly likely there is more corrupted data on some of the individual partitions. Depending on which ones, you may or may not be able to fix it without a jtag service.
It is also possible the memory itself could be damaged. If this is the case, the only option is a motherboard replacement. You probably won't know this for sure though unless you try a jtag repair and it fails.
I will say that if the power button is faulty, you should absolutely get that fixed before doing much else. Otherwise it could just bring you right back to where you are now.
If it were me, I would look for a device on ebay with a broken lcd, but a good motherboard with clean imei. Then swap the board. Otherwise it seems to me you'd be spending money on repairs that may or may not work.

Thanks you so very much for the reply! Sorry that it was long and looking at it again, It really is TL: DR. I will keep that in mind for any future posts.
I have tried different versions of Odin 3.04, 3.06, 3.07, 3.09. The first two version also give the same message as version 1.85 while the latter two stall at initializing for more than and hour and there doesn't seem to be any progress. I will try Odin 3.10 and see what happens there.
I guess buying a broken LCD phone would be the best course of action cost-wise afterwards if Odin 3.10 doesn't work. Again I really can't thank you enough for all the help and taking the time to read my post.
Quick tip on buying used devices like that...Be Careful! Pay extra close attention to how every listing is worded. Only buy ones that say things like:
Fully functional except display
Powers on but no picture
Some will try to trip you up by using "clever" phrases, or trying to lead you to assumptions. Also, try to only but from sellers with excellent ratings and a large number of them. They will be more likely to help you if you have a problem.
Good luck!
