hey guys,
I flashed the "voodooChargeKernel4" tar file win Odin. Then I flashed the CWR recovery through Odin ( i know I ****ed up). It wouldnt boot and was stuck on the samsung screen. I pulled the battery and went back into Odin to reflash the voodoochargekernel again. Now it's stuck on a screen with a phone, a computer and orange triangle.
Well i got the same tar file to flash in Odin by switching USB ports, but now Im still stuck on the samsung screen
crap..i dont know what to do. I used the CWR recovery files from this thread on someone's recommendation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486. Now the phone wont turn on at all except download mode and anything I flash says fail.
Odin is flaky you may need to try a different USB port.
If that does not work try to remove the device in device manager and unplugging the phone and plugging it back in to the computer,.
And flash the below package

thank but that didnt work either. Its in an endless boot into recovery for some reason.
I had the problem, except mine wasn't going into recovery; it rebooted after every boot animation.
What worked for me was, using Odin, re-flashing the Kernel, unplug the phone, plug the phone in again, and then flashing Altered Beast, then turning the phone on. It didn't work if i tried them one at a time.
after u get the phone in download mde. re-install the battery and then flash via odin.
if your getting bootloop then try in recover to wipe data

Do a battery pull, then get the phone back into download mode. Close and open Odin, then plug the phone into USB. That should get Odin to behave again.

Okay, so my friend came over today, so I could root/rom his phone. I set it all up, with Odin and everything ready, and when I ran Odin with recovery.tar, it failed. I thought, okay, probably just have to try again. I tried again, and it still fails. It is only soft bricked, but it may as well be hard bricked as I cannot fix it. PLEASE HELP!! I'm really worried about this.
Recovery.tar is to go back to stock. Scroll down here and you can find all the steps to root and install roms. Here

Get odin set up with tar, hold both volume buttons on the left side of the pone, while it is turned off (make sure you have usb cable unplugged first) then plug usb cable into the phone, and you should be in download mode.
If you are running 2.3.5 than y don't you use one click root.

Take the battery out and place it back
Hold both Vol up + Vol down, and plug in the USB cable.
Press Vol up to continue to Download Mode.

Ok. So I went into download mode, opened up ODIN, and tried flashing CWM. When that failed, I tried again, taking out the battery and turning the phone back on to download mode, reflashing CWM, and it failed again. I then downloaded the complete stock flashable ODIN file.I flashed this, and it also failed. I have tried this multiple times, with different usb cords. I tried reinstalling the drivers, and flashing again. It still says failed.
Ok lets try different way. Just use odin to flash the .zip file aka Superuser thats all.
Install the drivers and make sure the Phone is recognized by your PC.
Rename the downloaded "su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip" to "superuser.zip" and put it on your EXTERNAL SD card.
Or place a custom rom on your EXTERNAL SD card.
If you want STOCK rooted then use the superuser.zip,

Yes silver its his friends device. Hey he says he can't flash cwm through Odin So i want him to just flash superuser.zip and install/flash CWM through Rom manager. What do you think will it work?

You dont use odin to flash the super user zip. You use cwm recovery. If he is not rooted he probobly also does not have cwm recovery.

I tried flashing CM9.1 using ROM Manager tonight on my GT-P3113 and it's now stuck on a boot loop. The blue Cyanogen creature comes onscreen with a flashing chest and the background has this electronic blue vortex look. I'm unable to do anything and holding the power button only reboots into the loop. Is there a way to fix this?

It is a US WiFi model. I used ODIN to flash recovery but if there are instructions on the site, I'd take those as well.

If you can still get into CWM, then i would recommend you try flashing this stock ROM which is 4.1.1 JB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861370
Which version of CWM recovery are you using? Make sure its 6.0.1.9 or higher.
If you prefer to return to stock ICS 4.0.4 you can download the odin stock firmware here
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/170457040/052efe5/P3113UEBLH2_P3113XARBLH2_XAR.zip.html
CM9 is outdated and no longer being supported.
CM10 based ROM are available on the forum, but be careful and follow instructions in the thread exactly.
It is possible to hard brick this device permanently so be careful.
DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET OR DATA WIPE FROM STOCK RECOVERY

I can boot into recovery if that's what you mean. I do believe that was the version of CWM that I installed. I'll go into download mode and flash that one. I need a link to Odin though. I have no idea why I deleted it, and the links I followed were no longer valid.
Nvm. I found an Odin download.

for the 4.1.1 JB rom you can use CWM.
For the stock 4.0.4. ISC use ODIN

Power + vol up. When you see the samsung logo, release the power but continue to hold vol+up until CWM displays. Make sure you are in CWM, not the stock recovery.
If this doesn't fix the boot problem then ODIN flash the stock ICS from the link I provided.use odin 1.8.5
That would remove any corruption caused by the failed CM9 ROM flash, hopefully.

Here's a quick tutorial on flashing odin roms.
ignore the model and rom that doesn't match yours
1. download samsung kies to get the correct driver for gt-p3113
2. download odin3 v.1.85
3. download Stock Firmware
4. install Kies
5. extract Odin3-v1.85.zip
6. extract P3113xxxxxxx.zip until you get file P3113xxxxxxxxxxx1_HOME.tar.md5
7. turn off your tablet
8. enter download mode (press volume up button + power button about 5 seconds)
9. plug the usb cable to your pc and your tablet
10. run Odin3 v1.85.exe
11. check if pc recognize your tablet by seeing ID:COM turn yellow and "Added!!" message in the message box lower left odin window.
12. klik PDA button and put P3113xxxxxxx.tar.md5
13. make sure to uncheck re-partition
14. click start
15. odin processing takes about 5 minutes, wait patiently.
16. if there's a "SUCCEED" in the message box, your tablet will restart
17. wait about 10 minutes, you should get your ICS boot
Flashed stock ICS and.....it works!
Thanks a lot man. That's the first and last time I try to flash from RM. Gonna flash that stripped down JB ROM now though.
I now have JB 4.1.1 and am veery happy. You're a lifesaver.

You are very welcome. Happy Holidays.
I've tried everything that i could find using google. Nothing has worked so far.
My friend has a S6 that was on 5.1.1 with root. It didnt received OTA updates so he tried to flash the new Nougat rom using ODIN. Alas the phone softbricked.
I can access download mode, but doesn't matter what firmware i try ODIN always end up failing. It's either sboot.bin, cm.bin so i think it has something to do with the bootloader? I'm not sure.
Tried to use SmartSwitch too but after it downloads the firmware it gives me an error and says to enter safe mode (????) so that's not working either.
Has anyone have an ideia of what to try next?
Thanks in advance.

Already tried. Touchscreen on TWRP is not responsive.
Do you using latest Odin 3.12.7 and newest Samsung USB Drivers and latest right firmware for your model (the best way to get it is SamFirm)?

Download right newest firmware for your model, use SamFirm to get it. Then use Odin 3.12.7 with newest Samsung USB Drivers to full-flash stock ROM. Set also "Factory Reset" in Odin then START. If Odin shows you 'pass' then everything comes good.

Not necessary, just "Factory Reset" and that's it. I don't know why Odin shows you "pass
" and your phone still shows "system status: custom". Looks like Odin didn't flashing correctly.
