Hello all. I'm pretty new and I hope this is the right place to open this thread. I did many searches, tried a lot of ways but i can't fix my problem.
Well the problem is that Everytime that i flash a new rom (in the Restoreway (Found on youtube) And in the .zip way) after installing the rom, and rebooting from xRecovery it start an endless loop and i don't really know how to fix it.
I tried many methods. Like wiping cache, factory reset and aaaall the other wipes.
so, ill ask you guys, please help me cause i can't find a way to flash this thing. :\
thank you so much.
hey dude i suggest you flash back your phone to stock rom
That fixes all the problems in the system and after that you just root it again
and install everything you want but be carefull in what you uninstall!
Try this...
I would suggest GSB ROM 3.6. Been using this rom since since version 2.2 and had very little problems. It is important that you follow Sheds instructions to the letter. It is very fast and basically trouble free. You can get it here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944430
install ruu ?
do a factory rest ..else try stockroms
what i'll do is try to wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache before i flash a new ROM... if it still fails then i will do wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache and factory reset before i flash new ROM...
my last resort will be to flash stock ROM then flash custom ROM again...
Please Help!!!!
I have flashed custom roms many times but now I my phone stucks on bootloader and cwm recovery says something about
"E: Cant't open /cache recovery/log" and none of the roms are working
re-flash a new rom and then do wipe data and dalvik cache
Already tried it. As i said no rom is working like kryllios 9, vivek's rom, I even tried original jpu and jp6 and I have wiped everything and even flashed roms without microsd card.
flash ddjg6 and dn flash any rom...and wipe data factory reset
if this works ....dont forget to say thanks
Same problem here, can anyone help
flash stock eclair rom of your country via odin....and then update your rom via kies.....this will replace all old files ...... now you may flash custom rom
TO solve this problem i flashed a stock rom that was not compiled as one package via odin. Thanks everyone.
Hi,
I am unable to Install any custom roms in Samsung galaxy Tab 2( Gt-P3110 ). When ever a custom Rom is placed, It either gets stuck in the Samsung logo, or just shows a 'Blank' Screen and hangs on that screen. After this i have to reflash the stock firmware to get the tab up again... (i do perform the wipe data/cache..then wipe cache. then wipe dalvik cache in this order before flashing the ROM)
The details of the tab are:
Model- GT-P3110 ( Galaxy tab 2 , wifi only )
android version-4.1.2
Build number-JZO54K.P3110DCMA4
Recovery: PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery ( Based on CWM Base version: v6.0.4.5 )
Rooted: Yes
Even the backups made are not complete, restoring a backup restores the tab to factory reset.
(it does say failed to find partition /recovery and /data for a very short time before starting the backup).
I am using a windows 7 system for this.
Thanks for the help...
Regards

what costum rom did you tried to install?
============
ROOT and update recovery:
HERE is the fastest way to root
reboot to recovery, and flash latest recovery again from HERE
reboot and go to recovery again.
Flashing roms:
Do a back up of important data/rom, place it inside your pc
Inside recovery:
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data media sdcard
Install rom
Install gapps
make sure your rom and gapps zip is in extsdcard, or else it will removed
be carefull not to format /extsdcard
above process will surely give positive results if done preciesely

For some reason this tab only works with Phils recovery.. for the rest. it just refuses to work.,! but the problem was that i could not get into the external memory card.. anyways.. after following the 'data wipe' instructructions.. i sideloaded cm-11-20140304-NIGHTLY-p3110.zip with its gapps..
both got installed succesfully.. However,, at first the tab went into a boot loop.. so i got into recovery again and cleared the data and cache partitions.. now.. i got stuck at a 'Blank' screen after the samsung logo.. ( its still blank after 10 mins)..

did it still blank? carefully not to flash with the charger on.
some people got bricked and to resolve that you must wait until the battery drops out and charge it again.
maybe you should clear your mind first, don't be in rush. i feel your frustating man :laugh:
if you do not add anything more in the process, i suppose with any recoveries you will succeed.
and also, it's a normal to take 10-15 min on the first boot

Maybe your EFS broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system.... you can try all roms, no rom will boot and you'll only see the samsung bootlogo...
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.
also seems that it happens here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657774

it is frequently due to some sort of incompatibility. make sure the rom is built of the same base your phone has installed ie. jb 4.12, kk4.4 and others. if you have jb on and try to install a kk rom, it will fail unless it is a hybrid built off jb base.
also check the op for any other specific needs to install.
im not familiar with your specific phone, just throwing some general tips out there, in hopes it will help.

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks
Tim

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

thanks and....
Thanks so much, does it matter that it won't boot with the stock Roma which I've installed from sams? Will the recovery program still work?

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.
No success

What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?
Thanks

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Hi, I've retried all that this morning-i must admit that I didn't know about wiping cache after install, however it's not made any difference, and still hangs on first boot...
Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help.

Hi all
Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

Which version of PhilZ? And I have found that TWRP 2.7.1.0 works better than other versions for KK.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Use latest Philz touch recovery. And use the rom and gapps compatible to your tab. Don't forget to reset to factory setting, clear cache and wipe dalvic cache before flashing the rom and gapps ☺
