Help Samsung Galaxt Tab 8.9 (Wi-Fi) stuck in charging screen, doesn't turn on at all

[gdrt94]

Recently, I have decided to install a custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 8.9 (Wi-Fi) and messed up everything.

I downloaded some "ICS 4.0.3 or something" .zip file to my root folder. Stupidly didn't install any ROM manager (Play market couldn't download any app in my tablet). Tried to download .apk file, and when failed, I fed up with everything: turned off the tablet, then turned it on with VOLUME UP and POWER buttons pressed. Then in the stock recovery pressed "apply update from sd card" and chose the .zip file...

...the Samsung Galaxy Tab icon was showing up on the screen the whole night. I was thinking that it's being updated and went to sleep. But I was wrong. The next day it was turned off and when I put the charger in, some stupid big charger symbol came up. I can't turn on the device and pressing VOLUME UP and POWER buttons brings me to the recovery menu, where I've tried anything (wipe user data/factory reset, reboot) with no success.

However, when the tablet is in the recovery menu, my PC sees the device through adb when i run "adb devices". I can even push some file to "/data/local/tmp" with "adb push" command. Now I want to know: can I still somehow install some ROM or at least factory reset to my tablet?

Volume down, home and power then at the warning press volume up.
Download a custom recovery if one is available for your device and flash it in Odin then flash a rom or stock firmware from sammobile.

You could always install a custom ROM in your mobile or tab if available. But you should make sure you have a custom recovery before flashing a custom ROM. And also you should have a nandroid backup or your stock image with you if anything goes wrong like this. You could download your stock ROM and flash it via Odin to regain life to your tablet. I will give you a link for doing that. Please try to follow instructions before doing a flash and please don't blame me if anything goes wrong again. Try to learn well and do

I have already installed yesterday a custom ROM (v3.2) with Odin, the program all samsung noobs need. But thanks for the link, a few minutes ago I've flashed with Odin(v1.85) Android 4.0.4 downloaded from this link, and it looks great!
