Can I set up my Galaxy Tab to boot from the external SD card? I'm having some issues with my Samsung Galaxy Tab, model SCH-I800 (VZW).

It started giving me a reboot loop one day (completely stock at this point). I've flashed ROMs and whatnot in the past, so I thought this would be an easy fix.

Based on the symptoms that this thing is exhibiting, I believe that the internal flash storage has gone bad. However, I do not have the desire to take this thing part and desolder the chip. So how do I get this Tab to boot off the external SD card? I've tried everything google has to offer thus far:


Manually (and correctly) partitioned SD card.
Edited /etc/fstab in addition to vold.fstab.
Flashed numerous ROMs.
Data/cache wipe in CWM 3.0.0.5 (for some reason, the newest version won't flash).


Running ls /dev/block in an adb shell shows mmcblk0, mmcblk1p1, and mmcblk1p2. For some reason, after every reboot, mount /sdcard throws an error that references mmcblk0 instead of mmcblk1. I am at my wit's end. I think /etc/fstab isn't sticking after reboot, but I honestly don't know. My knowledge of *nix-based systems is somewhat limited.

Is there any way for me to get this to boot from the external SD card?
Sorry but it's not possible to boot from an external sd card since when the phone powers up the processor start to execute code at a fixed adress in the nand, and you can't change that.
