this is very easy to fix fortunately you have not hard bricked LOL now follow my steps....
step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.
step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop
step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)
step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)
step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot
step6. sit back and enjoy lol.
thank me if it helps.

soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus
I have the same problem as described by kaizasoshi on a GT-P6210 (WIFI only model) and can get to download mode. I haven't been able to find a copy of Odin 1.8 to download so I have Odin 4.0.3 - hopefully that'll work. The megaupload link for Odin 1.8 gives you software Odin 1.8.2 which turns out to be some sort of MRI operating software.
I used the link provided in the response for the GT-P6200 model, did a search, and I can't find the firmware file for the P6210 anywhere on the site. I found a file elsewhere on XDA supposedly is the firmware file for my model P6210 and when adding to PDA I get an error "Invalid Image File Type" The file name that I found is named GT-P6210_XAR_P6210UEKL1_P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1\P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5
Does this sound right? Does anyone have any guidance for me (besides stop bricking my Tab)? Thanks

Well I found a version of Odin 1.8 and it took the tar file without an error message. I started flashing the file to my P6210 and it went well for a couple of minutes (about half a green bar in the first block). Then something went wrong and ODIN started alternating the below messages:
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
And while showing the above, the P6210 screen started alternating between a black screen and the below message:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I watched this continue for over an hour in this loop (no progress on the green bar), then disconnected and reconnected the P6210. I launched Kies and tried troubleshooting but just got the alternating screen again on the P6210 and starts and stops of Kies troubleshooting. It looks like it's pretty hosed. Any suggestions?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, the only thing I've done to the tablet was do a one step root about 3 months ago and I think two product updates afterwards (reapplied the root after each). The tablet ran OK but I started getting the auto shutdowns other have gotten, along with several instances of a warm battery and high battery rates of consumption. It didn't behave this way all the time. Finally two days ago, while on the charge,r I found it locked into the Tab startup screen. I could get it to boot into recovery but kept getting lots of red error messages, like it was looking for files that weren't there, then I'd reboot and it would go back to the locked startup screen.
Can you get into recovery by holding up and power on (release power after it boots, but hold volume up)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
Yes I can get to recovery now. Since my previous post, I recharged unit overnight and attempted to reflash OS. This time, Odin runs all the way until the first green box says PASS! Odin Message box says <OSM> All threads completed (succeed 1/failed 0). Then message box cycles thru ID 0/004 Removed ID 0/005 added!! then ID 0/005 Removed!!, then ID 0/005 Added!!
At this point Odin doesn't do anything else. The P6210 then starts giving a bunch of failed messages - failed to mount cache(no such file or directory), Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, then goes into Manual Mode then message failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) install application for customer: Can't mount /efs copy application failed. Then meesage Applying multi CSC then failed to mount /efs, then multi_csc can't mount/efs
Then multi-csc applied failed.then more messages on failing to mount cache can't mount cache recovery log/last log
Then at this point the top of the screen offers rebot/apply update from sd/wipe data-factory reset/wipe cache partition. Through all of this I have not unplugged the P6210 from the PC.
I select reboot system now and press power button (still connected)
Get a bunch more messages about cant open cache recovery log. Then it goes to the Samsung Galaxy tab screen and just hangs.
It seems there's some files missing that is causing the unit to hang.
added/removed sounds like could be faulty wire connection.
which firmware are you trying to flash may we ask?
May be useful to find a .pit file with stock firmware, if there are any around for your device.

I've also tried changing the usb/samsung cable from aftermarket to OEM and changing USB port used on PC. Reflashed PDA file, No change. The reflash appears to complete but is followed by the error messages identified previously. The file I'm attempting to flash w/Odin 1.85 is named P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. The file is 894.011 MB. I've downloaded it twice and no difference in flash result. I'm not having any luck finding a PIT file for the P6210.
Still looking for PIT file.

May I ask what you did to soft brick? Be good learning experience for everyone. Thanks.
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
I've also found these 3 other files associated with the P6210. They are:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
Would loading these files via Odin possibly help with my problem? I'm not sure which files would be loaded for the different parameters (PIT, BOOTLOADER, etc). It appears the CSC file would be loaded for CSC.
PS: I don't know what happened with kaizasoshi as far as how his TAB problem initiated, but mine had been experiencing SOD, auto shutdowns and warm battery when plugged into charger over night for the previous several weeks. I picked it up one morning off the charger and the P6210 was frozen on the startup screen and wouldn't finish boot or shut down. It would go into recovery using the power and volume switches.
hi all, i have the same similar problem as TS but mine's a P6200 tab, heard that i need a pit file & the firmware ver(singapore) to flash it...
where do i get those files including odin? i got the firmware via sammobile.com, but no idea to get the pit & odin files,... will any kind souls direct me to them?
I found a PIT file a few days ago, supposedly for the P6200 using Google. I don't know if it works or not. I have a P6210, so I don't think I can use a P6200 PIT.
PIT Link:

ODIN Link:
http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_Odin#Samsung_Odin3_download_links
Pick a version. 1.81 and 1.85 seem popular.
any new updates on this? im having the exact same problem and have tried all the previously mentioned files through Odin with no positive results. any help would be appreciated. i have a US version 6210
yeah.. dont flash a tab plus firmware unless you're sure its for your specific model
either T869-Tmobile/WifiGT-P6210/or G version GT-P6200. If youve flashed the previously mention files, you've probably done some serious damage.
Best option now: Find a device specific firmware WITH a .pit file, flash with Odin/Heimdall with fngers crossed.
Other options: tell them you hooked it up to iTunes to sync your media.. lololol
hope you get warrantied..

well that just sucks!! honestly with all the SODs and reboots i just wish samsung would give me my $350 because this thing hasnt worked well from the begining. guess its back to samsung
I have followed instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
I've got KIES on my W7 machine. It runs and will connect with the Tab 2 model GT3113 that I have.
I shut down KIES and the Tab, fire up ODIN, connect the Tab and it says added. I select the recovery.tar.md5 file that I downloaded (downloaded several different times in case I got a bad download), ODIN seems to do its thing, get the green "PASSED" message and then shut down the Tab and restart it to go into recovery mode according to the instructions.
I always go back to the stock Android recovery screen. I cannot seem to get to CWM recovery.
If I try to flash the cwm-root-gtab2 file that I put on the extsdcard, I just get the red E:signature authentication failed message.
For some reason, I am not getting to first base here, that is, not even getting CWM installed.
I've searched the forum, read and re-read the instructions and reinstalled everything several times. I'm stumped.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Me too!!! Ive been over the directions 100 times and flashed cwm like 20.....its like it doesnt take. Sends me into stock recovery...
I know how its supposed work, Ive done on my fascinate countless times without a hitch.
I think we should repost this in the Q&A specifically for the GT2, I don't think anyine is going to see it here....
has anyone found a solution yet?i am having the same problem as you guys are and its getting a little frustrating.thanks
Are you sure that you flashed the true recovery.tar.md5 file for your Tab model?
sterlling6dw,
Please feel free to move this to any other part of the forum where it might get more attention.
And please, let me know if you find a solution.
Thanks.

hainlm,
I'll go back and doublecheck on the recovery file.
Like I said, I followed the directions carefully.
But as we know, computers are intolerant of the smallest mistake.
Thanks.
Jim
I definitely followed the directions right...just now I reflashed my fascinate using the same Odin and proper files...works great. Its something with the tab2. Odin sees the tablet, I get a success and reset...but when I power down and reboot into cwm, stock comes up everytime...
Help.
Also, tried this on multiple computers to rule some random USB incompatibility or other unknown issue out....
Hacked/owned:
Samsung Fascinate, Droid Bionic, Droid 2, D2G, Viewsonic G-Tablet, Micro Velocity Cruz Reader....

Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
Tablet is a Samsung Galaxy GT-P5113TS 16GB version.
The initial problem with the tablet was that the Galaxy Tab logo appear but would just hang. It would boot into the firmware download menu with the buttons but not the recovery mode.
Attempted to flash a CWM and/or a Philz Recovery. After the attempted flash (via Odin 1.85) which failed. The tablet could no longer be recognized by Odin. Rebooted the tablet and it now comes up with the error: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. The computer and Odin 1.85, and 3.09 all recognize it is there connects to it but fails to install a recovery file, a PIT file, a full firmware (P5113UEUCMK3_HOME.tar.md5)
Kies detects there is a device but fails to recognize it.
Attempting to use Kies says it cannot upgrade or initialize the GT-P5113 after the model number and serial number are entered.
Odin 3.07 is presently the only Odin that goes through the entire process of flashing the Stock ROM.
However, when it completes, there is nothing on the screen. If I leave it for 10 minutes, the screen still remains black.
If I then shut it down, it reboot with the same error message. After trying that and another stock ROM,
Odin is now failing at system.img with the error Xmit Write fail XmitData Fail.
Now it is caught in a boot loop which reboots the tablet constantly (known only by the sound of a USB device disconnecting and reconnecting) and will eventually stop after a random time at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue". Then I can try it again. I have tried it with the only two 4.2.2 firmwares that I can find on samsung-updates.
I have tried this on two different computers with the same firmware. It just seems to get worse the more I try.
I am not even sure what firmware was on it before as it belongs to a neighbour who asked me to help getting working for him.
Holding down the power button for 10 seconds or more does not shut down or stop the boot loop.
Any suggestions at all would be appreciated it.
Is there anything else I can try that I haven't tried already like a bootable micro SD card? I have searched and I can't find one or the correct information to make my own.
EDIT: Tried it with a PIT file (signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit) but it fails to upload the PIT file with the error "There is no PIT partition"
Thanks for any help.
Um... do you know if odin was ever run with "repartition" checked but no pit file?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk
Not sure at this point but it is in the realm of possibility.
If it was, is there any way to repartition it? Like with Heimdall or something?
EDIT: This is what was done since posting the above.
OK, I left the tablet charging overnight (well I slept 4 hours or so) and this time it installed the firmware without any errors.
I figure it was that the battery was dead. However, even though it installs the firmware, it still fails if I use the .pit file with the same error of no PIT partition.
Upon reboot, it comes back to the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" message again.

Yes I tried to re-partition a couple of times using the 16GB PIT file as it is a 16GB Tab 2. But it never completed any attempt to do the re-partition.
It installs the firmware every time now but after when it is finished to do the reboot. The screen remains black until I hold down the power button to shut it down and then it reboots and presents me with the firmware encountered an issue message.

I think I wasn't clear enough.
Repartitioning without using a pit file can wipe the whole system into one or two partitions.
As far as I know that is an irreparable condition.

Is there a way to create a bootable Micro SD card that has a recovery image CWM/TWRP that will allow me to repartition?
I got a heimdall print-pit output from somewhere with the partition block sizes, etc.
Thanks for the help. I think the eMMC was bad to begin with because it was not booting into recovery or even flashing recovery images or booting any of them.
I was hoping there was a way I could make a bootable micro SD that I could format the eMMC, booting to a bootloader from the micro SD card and flashing the stock rom back on.
Hi Dechronic, and hi all xda-dev members here,
I think I am experiencing some problem with yours.
My friend asked me to fix his Galaxy Tab P5100. It shows yellow triangle with message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue......"
I did try to enter recovery/download mode by hold power+vol up/down -> Display went blank, then back to yellow triangle.
I did try to flash stock ROM that downloaded from samsung website using Odin 3.10.7, 3.10.6 -> Failed
I did try to flash stock ROM that downloaded from samsung website using Odin 3.07 -> PASS. Then device went blank again. There was no sign of life , then I pushed the power button -> Back to yellow triangle, again.
I tried another flashing -> still same result.
I tried to install CWM from odin -> PASS -> screen went blank again
Did you successfully "wake" your device up? If yes then please share the steps here
Many thanks in advance.

Let me guess, you have KIES installed?
Uninstall KIES if you use Odin or Heimdall to flash via download mode.
Don't use USB-Hubs - use i direct port on your PC/Laptop.
Good luck!
I have the exact same error on my tab 2 P3100, I tried upgrading through Kies, after entering the Model and serial no it says does not support Initializing.
I downloaded the Stock Rom and flashed using Odin, it shows a successful flash only in Odin 3.07 (other versions of Odin it shows FAIL), but when it reboots it shows the same message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue"
I un-installed Kies and flashed through Odin, yet again the same error message, its just stuck on this screen. Any help like what should I do next?
Same problem!! Any help?
First off: Ive searched the forum and there are a few similar posts to my problem but I thought I would ask my question before trying any of the things Ive found because I think its in this mess because Ive messed somehting up so dont want to make it worse.....
So I got given an AFAIK unrooted GT-P5100 (from Belgium) by my friend to try and fix as they had got the Interpol/ FBI thing on it. So i looked around the web and tried Safe Mode but couldnt get that to work at all so I thought I would just do a factory reset. So I got into the options by pressing volume up or down (whichever one it is) and selected wipe cache partition it displayed "erasing" then followed by "error" and the tablet rebooted back to the Interpol screen. Then I tried wipe data/factory reset it seemed to go through it very quickly, no errors displayed and then it either rebooted automatically or I selected reboot I cant remember, but straight back to the Interpol screen.........
Then I thought Odin, Ive used it in the past to flash custom ROMs on my rooted phones...
I downloaded the firmware from sammobiles - P5100XXDNA1_P5100PRODNA1_P5100XXDMG1_HOME.tar.md5
I followed these instructions with odin v3.10
- Run Odin3.exe
- Click on PA button and Select the firmware file.
- Connect your phone to PC via USB cable, And wait until Odin3 detects the phone.
- Click on Start button and wait until the operation done.
All seemed to be going OK, it added it on Com3 and several bits of text appeared saying success
Then Odin came up with fail when it seemed to be abou 90% of the way across, the bar stopped on the tablet and didnt move. Im guessing at this point I should have asked for help
Like a muppet I also closed Odin before I took a screenshot... doh!!!!!!
After a while I disconnected the cable and tried to put it back into download mode but all that comes up on the screen now is "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So I installed Kies and tried recovery mode but it doesnt detect the tablet at all.
Odin can still connect, this time on Com5
I've read about installing TWRP through Odin, is this something I should try or have I just trashed this tablet now?
Thanks for any advice!!
