Well I rx my Gtab a couple of hours ago. I charged the battery and played with it for a time to familiarize myself with it. I then installed CWM 0.8 and it seems to work fine. I put the VegaN final zip file on the internal SDcard and turned it off and back on with vol+ and pwr. CWM comes up fine but when I select backup it works fine until I get to android_secure.img and it just hangs up. The first time it hung up with the progress bar all the way to 100%. I waited 30 minutes no change. I turned it off and did it all over again and same results the only difference is the progress bar is at about the 90 % point. Any ideas? Ohh and before all this I did do the OTA update.
Tt
PS Well it finally did something. I am back in CWM but I have an error at the bottom that reads.. Backing up cache...Error while making a yaffs2 image of /cache/!
Well I kept doing it until it worked....Now have VagaN installed. Now when I try to connect my pc with the gtab via USB I dont get the usb connect panel on the gtab anymore so I can't load up flash or anything else.
The usb connect is in the notification bar when you connect the tab via usb. Pull down the notification bar.

This is certainly a new one for me.
Phone information:
Touch Pro 2 (Sprint)
Battery about 90% charged
Unlocked SPL-1.00 OliNex
Process:
Generally, when I flash I do it one of two ways. I either put the IMG file on SD card and flash that way, or I go into bootloader and flash via USB having manually put the phone into bootloader. I don't sync the phone with my desktop PC so I don't have activesync or WMDC installed.
In a little over two years with this phone, I've never had an issue.
Detail Scenario One - microUSB:
Unplug from USB and/or AC (result is the same with our without AC adapter)
Pull battery
Insert mSD card (I've full FAT32, not quick formatted three different cards) with RHODIMG.NBH.
Insert battery
Trigger bootloader (volume down + power)
Bootloader (tri color screen - SPL-1.00 OliNex) comes up
Immediately transitions to an all grey screen that reads
Loading ...
And then nothing else happens.
Detail Scenario Two - PC/USB:
unplug from AC / usb
Pull battery
remove microSD card
insert battery
Trigger bootloader (volume down + power)
Bootloader (tri color screen - SPL-1.00 OliNex) comes up
White part at bottom reads Serial
Plug into PC USB cable
White part at bottom changes to USB
Run "RUU_Rhodium_W_S2_Sprint_WWE_2.04.651.4_RS_2.32.00WF" ROM installer - using something from HTC/Sprint to avoid issues with bad NBH or RomUpdateUtility

PC screen updates to "Updating the ROM image on your PDA Phone" at 0%
Touch Pro 2 screen toggles to grey screen with 0% update progress
Nothing else happens ... some time later, the desktop PC updater flips out of update mode and walks through the flash recovery steps
the Touch Pro 2 screen stays at 0% until I pull the battery and start over.
Thoughts ?
Best regards,

If you unplug and plug back in the USB while sitting at 0%, can you get anything to happen. Had this issue with my hero a few months ago. That seemed to do the trick. Seemed like the drivers were hanging up. The phone did say FU a few months later. Worth a shot anyway.
I honestly need help.
I'm not sure what to categorize my issue under.
I am stuck in a screen with the green android and the spinning thing in the middle, with a progress bar, but the bar just has a moving animation, looks like it is moving to the left, not getting longer or filling up like usual progress bars.
I am unable to get to the boot loader or recovery.
The issue started after I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10.2 Stable.
it booted fine then, but when I went to use it, it would have a never ending cycle of app not responding at the part where it asks to sign in to cyanogenmod account. I got to settings without signing in by quickly sliding the status bar and clicked on factory reset.
From there it proceded to reboot and now I am stuck in the screen described.
I have tried all the button combinations, reset with pin, nothing will get to bootloader or recovery.
ADB does not find the device, also no devices found when try fastboot devices line.
I have also tried putting the firmware zip on a microsd, but nothing new happens either.
any suggestions appreciated.
** edited ** Issue is resolved. Turns out I just needed to wait longer (about 2 hrs) ... I did turn it off using combo of power and Vol -, left it off overnight, turned it on in the morning and left it alone. I finished whatever it was trying to do, and now CyanogenMod 10.2 stable is working great.
Okay so I updated my tablet to 4.2.2 and ever since then it was super slow even after resetting it several times. I finally got sick of it and went to downgrade it through my computer. I used Odin3 to upload 4.0.4 onto my tablet and shortly after it showed the start up icon "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0." It just sat there like that for like 3 hours so I finally got tired and went to sleep. Well my PC went into hibernate and the tablet wont turn on. When I plug it into my PC the USB sound constantly goes on and off. I just plugged it in into the wall and its showing the battery symbol, but it isn't charging it just has a loading bar in the center of the battery. I'm not really smart with tablets so I probably did something super stupid. Please help!
Thanks in advance

if you are able to boot inot recovery mode then wipe cache partition anda factory reset and everything will be allright
first try just wipe cache partition method and if that does not work then go for both the options
Come across a strange problem on my TF300. The battery completely drained one night and thereafter it's become unresponsive. It charges, boots to the lock screen, but the battery is shown at 0% and I'm unable to interact with anything other than using the hardware keys. It freezes when attempting a cold boot or attempting to go to recovery. Had TWRP 2.8 on Katkiss 4.4, anyone got any ideas?
Just to update this, the dock just doesn't work with the tablet currently.. Despite being on charge for a number of hours there's been no progress. Both charging lights do go green eventually though, but still on 0%. It connects to my PC, and I can even view the files on it, but the tablet itself is unusable. Device manager shows it but I couldn't get it to appear in Adb for fastboot commands
Anyone know how to get it to show in Adb?
Bump on this since I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any help
Fixed this now, thanks to those who had a look. Somewhat simple solution, connected a mouse via USB, which allowed me to navigate the tablet. After that it was just a simple selection of rebooting to recovery from the power menu, which got me into TWRP and let me do a wipe and flash a new ROM.

Back story:
My beloved tablet ran down on power as I was using it today (note to self - change warning percentage from 5% to something like 15%)! I tried shutting it down, but it died before the shutdown was finished. I put it on the charger and let it charge until about 65%, took it off the charger, powered it up. It started coming up, got to the the PIN screen, then nothing. Couldn't do anything, touch screen wasn't doing acknowledging anything. I think things got corrupted as it was powering off...
Powered it down, waited a few minutes, then powered back up. Took about 10 minutes to start after I entered my PIN, and it was behaving strangely:
1. WiFi said it was off, but I was getting e-mails (sent one to myself from another device to confirm it)
2. Settings would start, but got nothing, just a white screen.
3. Most apps would start but really slow, then suddenly shut down
4. Tried booting into TWRP 3.1.1 - got the initial screen, there it sat for the next 20 minutes before I rebooted.
5. I can get into bootloader, but fastboot from my Linux laptop doesn't work - can't find any devices when the tablet is plugged in.
6. "adb devices -l " shows the tablet is connected, but get no prompt on the tablet screen about adb starting
6. "adb reboot bootloader" and "adb reboot recovery" from my laptop just sits there - nothing happens on the tablet.
I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 (latest weekly for the SMP-900) and TWRP 3.1.1 on the tablet, and Fedora 25 on the laptop. Rebooting is iffy - sometimes it starts, sometimes it doesn't and just sits on the Lineage boot animation. I also have my 128Gb SD card set up as part of the internal memory (i.e., can't pull it and stick it into another device) Every reboot takes longer, and I fear the next power on will have me just sitting there, staring at the Lineage boot screen forever.
I have Nandroids from TWRP, but doesn't do me much good if I can't get into TWRP to use them. I have TWRP image and tar files, but jodin (a Java based Odin type of program that works in Linux) doesn't get a response from the tablet and therefore won't flash.
If I could get the tablet back to the point where I can get TWRP working again, I can reload from the TWRP backup. I also don't have a Windows computer available at all, but I do have Windows XP in a VMware virtual machine as an absolute last resort on my laptop.
Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to get me running again? Right now, it's powered off and charging...
Thanks for any help....
Patience, patience, patience ...
I'm answering this myself - just so there is an answer.
If you ever run into this problem, read the heading above! I got the tablet to boot up finally by pulling the 128 Gb SD card first, then powering up the tablet. I plugged in the SD card back in and it started slowing down, but checking under Storage, it indicated it was checking the encrypted card. I set it aside, checked it 2 hours later - still checking the card. Plugged it into the charger and went to bed, got up this morning and it was shut off. Powered it up, it booted up, this time around it recognized the encrypted card as part of internal storage and Life is good again.
My assumption is that when the tablet died, the card was marked dirty (I.e., not shut down properly.) When I tried TWRP, it noticed that the card was flagged dirty and started checking it before it would give me the home screen - same thing with Lineage when it tried to boot. And yes, I changed the battery power warning to 15%.
Thanks for your update on that problem.
