Hello,
I'm new to the community. I generally work on PC but a friend brought me this Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 Plus that turns on but is stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy tab 7.0 Plus" splash screen when it first turns on. I have tried the" Power+Vol up" to reset to factory but it seems to go too-quickly and then I am back to square one because nothing changed. I dont know if my friend or his kids tried to do anything crazy with this so I don't have much more info.
What I am asking... I want to get this tab back to factory, or at least a working ROM. any advice is helpful but please keep in mind I have never really worked on these devices, the one thing I do know is if I jump to conclusions I can brick the device.
Thanks in advance. If more info is needed please ask.
did you try with a retore power + vol down with Odin

choose between 3.2 honeycomb or 4.0.4 ICS
I got the same problem before !!!

There is my solution
I had a very similar problem to both of you and noticed that the /data (instead of /efs) directory/partition "didn't exist" according to the boot screen when i entered the default recovery mode. i partitioned it and ran a factory reset and it finally booted.
and all just in time to pull the factory US ICS update

Ok so I have tried on another thread that kind of went dry mainly cause I was MIA....but now I am back and have done some more reading up and think it is safe to say rooting and trying customer ROM's is not for me...lol I pretty much messed up a new Galaxy Tab 2 7' brand new only after a few weeks trying to root it. I had another thread link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834368&page=2
But I did not get anything to work right. At this point I am really just looking to get the tablet working. I don't really care what firmware rooted or unrooted...i just want to be able to use it....do some more research and and maybe join the rooting community again when I get a Galaxy S3.
I'd appreciate any help. I am pretty stuck right now!
Go into Download mode "power" plus "down volume", then up volume. Use ODIN to load this:

You will need driver from Samsung Keis install for P3113

FYI - I needed to load CMOC10-Kernel to get my tab to stop boot looping when I flashed JB AOKP

Worked like a charm....you made it simple! Thanks!
Continous boot loop on tab 2 p3113
My problems are kind of different from all the others I have read. Yes it is similar that it boot loops. But mine freezes at different areas in boot mode. This is driving me crazy and I am spending way too much time and effort trying to fix it. Hopefully you can help.
I don't really know for sure if the android os was 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or some other rom but it did state in download mode that it was original and not custom rom.
I received this tab from ebay and it is new never used, but somehow whoever had it probably tried to flash it and now I received it with a continuous loop. They stated that it stuck in SAMSUNG logo. I found it true but it also stuck other places as well. I did do a reset first before I attempted to flash it.
I did the Odin flashing.I found the 4.2.2 xar file HOME_XAR_P3113UEUCMK3_1978026_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and did according to instructions. But that didn't work. It did boot into android but it didn't stay there very long and rebooted itself. I couldn't stay more than 20-30 seconds and it would reboot itself or freeze at various places in android. I also hard reset it. Still same thing. It would also freeze on the first samsung logo tab 2 screen and also at the blue circle with samsung logo. It was different every time. I would have to hold down the on button until it rebooted. It also stalls or freezes during Android upgrading... Optimizing app at various number stages sometimes it goes thru that and then to the next phase of installing apps then it freezes again. I cannot get it to work if I try to upgrade via wireless upgrade to samsung. it will freeze even before it downloads the upgrade file.
I then flashed back to the original xar file P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC which is 4.1.1 That worked a little better, but it freezes and also the sound chatters when it freezes on bootup you know, when the samsung sound comes on then the blue circle.
Finally I tried to recover or flash from the recovery mode using the upgrade from a sdcard. using the original 4.1.1 xar file. It hewlped a little but still doing the continuous boot loop at different stages but it gets to the Android is upgrading... more often. It freezes always now.
So I don't know what else to do. You mentioned a CMOC10-Kernel to load, how does one go about doing that and what are the steps.
Thanks in return if you can suggest things.

Ok so I got stuck in a boot loop(hung up on the Samsung screen) and used the MD5 file I found here with Odin and thought it would take me back to stock as the thread suggested. Everything went fine, Odin gave me the big green pass and auto rebooted, but it's still stuck on the Samsung screen and won't boot all the way.
Now I've used Odin a few times before but Samsung devices usually are not my thing. Having flashed,rooted and modded every device I have ever owned I have never NOT been able to fix one. However, I'm at a loss as to why it's not returning to stock. I must be missing something and what I don't know.
Any help in getting me back to a functioning device would be appreciated since I just got it for Xmas.
Boot into recovery, turn off device, hold volume up and power until samsung logo appears.
wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache.
Should boot now....
You know, it would help emmensely if you told us what you flashed or linked the thread you used. Also your device model.
it is normal if you go from JB to stock ICS you need to do a complete wipe by going into stock recovery and then restart the note will boot

Thanks for confirming the button combo, I was sure that was it but couldn't get into it to save my life. Too long holding down I suppose because letting go quicker got me right there and I was able to get it out of the bl.
Thanks for the help
Hi guys,
I've got a problem with my mum's Galaxy Ace Plus: It boots normal (with graphics and all animations), but the screen is gonna be dark, after the Samsung-logo appears. It shortly vibrates, and the sounds are working, too. But I can't see anything anymore :/
I'm able to access recovery mode and download mode, so I've flashed the stock rom with Odin3, but this didn't help
Does anyone know, how to fix this error? The phone got wet this summer, so the warranty is left. But it worked again after drying it.
Thanks for each answer!
Edit: Problem solved! The option wipe data/factory reset in reocvery was the solution!
I thought, Odin would do it automatically
hi got my galaxy s5 model SM-900F from overseas it was a open phone and i rooted it. After a week it just shutdown and when i start it up it display all grey on the screen. It wont let you see the SAMSUNG logo with the powered by ANDROID screen. But i tried to push the volume key down it let me pass that all grey screen and lead me to the home screen but then after a few minutes it would freeze and become unresponsive. Tried to wipe/factory reset it on the recovery mode still same, also tried to flash the original firmware of the phone that i downloaded on sammobile website still have same issue. the all out grey screen when you turn it on the 1st time. Can someone help pls as i get frustrated on this. btw im in nz and the firmware my phone used was on the hk.. thanks appreciate ur reply..
Hi everyone
I have GT-N8000 2012 version. A week ago it suddenly went off and I am no longer able to turn it on, i.e. after showing the Samsung white logo, it is restarted. I have tried flashing different firmware versions but it doesn't help. Also the Power+VolumUp combination does not show any menu (I think it usually boots a menu for factory reset). What can I do? (I prefer being able to recover my data).
Thanks in advance
Same problem here, on same device type (N8000 2012, standard stock samsung firmware).
Mine doens't even reach the Samsung logo. It just gets to the 1st screen (Galaxy Note 10.1 white message) and reboots after a couple of seconds.
Also can get to any menu using Power & VolumeUp (doesn't seen to have any effect). Only Power &VolumDown gets to the Download menu.
Unless this is a Hardware problem I wanted to factory reset the device, hopping this would clean "everything" but put it running again.
Thanks
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin ,and download mode.
try this one

no worries. it happens. soft brick situation
you need a stock rom for your device or back up rom.
go back to PC and start ODIN, cable in, then boot your device under download mode not recovery.
once it is in download mode, flash your device using ODIN.
allow to reboot.
un-bricked device.:good:
stock ROMs are here in case you are looking
