[Q] ROOT Samsung 8.9 3g HELP - General Questions and Answers

Hello!
I need urgent help.. I decided to Root my Galaxy Tab 8.9
So I downloaded ODIN and decided to root it with a kernal tar.file.
I tried and what i got was an error ( it could not detect the COM port or something), so i tried to change the USB port and disconnect allthe devices and the second message I got an immediate fail because of the boot.img.
Now I am stuck in this Odin3 download mode and cannot exit it. (The device cannot be turned off, it doesn;t react to anything. I used Odin V1.30 and 1.87.
Is there somethign i can do now? Should I just wait till the battery runs off ? Because all i get is this screen and it doesnt react to anything else.

PLease this is urgent!!

I think I bricked my son's tablet!

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S I9000 root attempt failed

Hello.
I tried rooting my Samsung Galaxy S using Unlock Root. When it got to step 2 the Download Mode screen appeared and nothing happened for 10 minutes then I unplugged the USB cable got the baterry out and then put it back in and a black screen with a Phone to Computer icon appeared, I managed to get into Download Mode but I don't know what to do from here. Is my phone bricked? Please respond.
No need to panic.
You can always flash official firmware via ODIN from download mode.
Check Galaxy Si9000 general thread with official firmwares and instructions.
Make sure you have enough battery life.

[Q] [HELP] Kies Firmware Update Failed

Hello,
I just updated the firmware of my brand new Note 10.1 (N8000) using Kies, which seems to have failed - I can't even turn the device off. I'm a quite experienced computer user, but brand new to Android. Any help or feedback would be very much appreciated (esp. how I can at least turn off the device).
Problem Description:
I have a new Note 10.1 (a German device/I'm in Germany using the Vodafone network, but I guess that shouldn't matter) and installed Kies today. The application identified a new firmware and suggested an update, which I did via USB. Everything appeared to have gone all right - the file got downloaded, transferred to the device, which then showed that it was installing the updates (something like 95 items). No error message. The device then booted, and that's where it seems to be stuck: since then, the device is in an endless loop: Screen is black, a swirling animation comes up, than the Samsung Logo, which stays for like 12 seconds, the screen goes black and it starts from the beginning (in total the loop takes like 15 secondes). Kies cannot connect to the device, and I can't even turn it off, it's just stuck in this endless loop.
Before the update, the device was neither modified nor rooted (I only installed a few apps), and there was no error message during the update (at least none that I saw).
Can anyone help???
Get the firmware file from sammobile and flash with odin. You can find a lot of how to regarding Odin, just do a search and you will find a movie or tutorial.
Here is the fw

The link is from sammobile, not a mirror, so it's safe.
Or you could just return it for an exchange.

Kies failed! Odin PASS and stuck in the logo!, it doesnt boot!
You may need to go into recovery and wipe data/cache partition. This will wipe your internal memory of everything but you will get an operational note...
