Hello,
Had the boot loop problem. Grey line and everything. I found this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133590
From there I found a link to my specific version of the galaxy tab. I then installed an already rooted rom through odin basically following the instructions above except using a different file.
