So I am facing a bit of a situation. My tab, I815, will only boot into download mode. I was using the tab, when it completely froze up so I powered it down by long pressing the power button. Tried to boot back up, stuck in a boot loop. Tried to go into recovery to do a reset, but am unable to get into recovery. Thought maybe something happened to my recovery partition so I booted into download mode and reflashed CWM, everything looked ok on ODIN, so I once again tried to boot into recovery and nothing. So let's see if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this. I can only boot into download mode and the lack of factory ODIN files for the I815 is making this into a problem. Any ideas?
Also I no longer use verizon for service so I do not care about the LTE service. The I815 and the 6800 have the same partitions. Do you think it would be possible to use a factory ODIN firmware from the 6800? I know I wouldn't have any cell service, but I am now only using it as a WiFi tab anyway.

I installed CM10 unofficial and had signal issues and lost LTE so I wanted to go back to stock rooted. Flashed root66 via Odin and now my phone gets stuck at the 4g LTE bootscreen. I have tried everything to flash a recovery, but so far nothing has worked. I am able to access downloader mode and it says my phone is samsung official but custom and 1 flash count. What should I do now?
Turn off the phone completely
Hold the down volume, home button, and power button (this will give you yellow triangle) then press volume up to access download mode
Flash the official, none-rooted stock rom (found over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755386)
let me know if that worked for you.
On the S2 (AT&T) you had to do a factory reset from the E3 recovery console after doing a reset like you're doing or else it would boot loop. See if you can get into the recovery console and do a factory reset and see if that fixes it.
Greetings,
When I was flashing via odin stock rom somehow it got stuck on setup connection and I had to close it. Since then the tablet wouldnt boot into recovery mode and wont boot at all. It goes to first samsung logo and gets blank. I tried flashing stock roms even with options repartition via odin in download mode but no luck.
Any insights people?

I have this same problem. Bump.
Hey guys, I only suggest the following, cause I had the same problem after flashing via odin.
In fact it happened to me more than once since I forgot the solution after a while ...
Make sure you unplug the USB cable from your tablet before trying to get into recovery mode.
That did it for me both times - once with my S4 and just recently with my Tab 2...
Pretty sure it's hosed but I will ask anyway.
What I have is a verizon S6 that is on AOE2, stock other than root.
What I did to cause brick: I tried flashing wifi tether mod, but flashed the AOC3 version by mistake. I flashed via flash fire but it is stuck in a boot loop.
The problem: Boot looping at verizon screen. Odin and smart switcher wont see the device in recovery/odin mode.
What I have tried: Clear cache and factory reset, No change. I tried odin but the pc does not see the phone in recovery. Same with smart switch and ADB. They do see the device during boot up prior to the reboot, about 38seconds during the verizon logo. Also they see it with the phone completely off but won't allow any changes.
Not sure what the problem ended up being, but finally got odin to pick it up. I think it was a bad copy of odin. I had odin zip on memory stick I used on each system to rule out pc as cause. Re-downloaded odin and tried again, seen it no problem. I just wanted to personally thank each of you for taking the time to help!

It's not all lost keep experimenting with Odin you should be able to recover from that. Be sure you just go straight to download mode once it boots up. I don't see why you should have problem getting it back.

So I guess I am not sure what to try. I do see the device in odin when it is booting but it loses it again when it reboots. It doesnt seem to be long enough to do anything. All I have tried is flashing AOC3 to the AP. Is there something else I can try?
Also I am not sure why, or if it is normal, but with the device completely off odin sees it. Again all I have tried is flashing the AP, and I tried smart switch in this set up as well but didnt get anywhere.
I wasn't sure what all the mod changes and if it might be kernel or something other than the OS but I am not sure how to tell or what to try if it is.
use a diff usb port/cable and flash oe2 firmware tar in AP slot. should be able to boot after that.

Tried 3 computers , few cables and every port. Seems it is something to do with it being in recovery that PCs wont see it.
Are you trying in Download Mode? Holding Power+home+down vol, then UP vol to get into Download Mode?? Tried re-installing Verizon s6 drivers and rebooting the PC? Recovery Mode won't let you re-flash with ODIN....
No reason it would be bricked from flashing a wifi tether mod.
Download Odin 3.10.6 and the Stock OE2 Tar:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/verizon-s6-stock-restore-files-t3096000
Reboot your phone into download mode as per DeathAngel's instructions. Odin should see the phone, flash the Tar in the AP slot. When it reboots, hold VolUp, VolDown, Home, and Power for a few seconds until it reboots again. Boot into recovery, do a factory reset.
If Odin isn't picking it up in download mode than you have a driver/cable issue.
Hi! I need help with my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. It was working fine until I decided to reset it to factory settings via the recovery mode. I did the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. When I click the "Reboot system now", it just turns off then when I turn it back on it'll go back to the recovery settings. I flashed the stock ROM using Odin but I was having the same problem. It never go pass the recovery mode. I also installed Philz touch (throuhg Odin) and flashed a custom ROM but, alas, it's still stuck on the recovery mode.
The curious thing is, right after I flash a ROM, the device will show that it's updating the system and then it'll turn off. It won't reboot unless I turn it on. Whenever I hit the "Reboot system now", it'll just shut down. I have charged it fully 100% so I'm not sure what's wrong. I thought the keys were stuck but all the keys are responsive (power, volume up and down) when I checked them.
I also tried the apply update from ADB sideload (I found a different thread somewhere and I was able to do every step) but it's the same. I'm stuck in the recovery mode
I really hope that someone will be able to help me.
Thank you guys!!!
I have found the solution to this problem.

I've been trying to flash TWRP recovery via Odin on my S7 (G930W8), however I would constantly get the verification error. Now I'm trying to reflash the stock firmware but it gave me a Fail on Odin. This is probably my fifth time reflashing the stock rom, and it worked previously today but then it decided it had enough and started giving me a bootloop I guess lol. But yeah, everytime I try reflashing the stock now it fails to do so. I'm absolutely sure I have the right firmware.
My phone is stuck on a bootloop now with the Samsung text and black screen. I can get to TWRP recovery via volume up, power button, and home button, but I can't really do anything there, not even full wipe as it tells me it couldn't mount or something. I can get to Download mode though.
Any advice? I'm really stuck right now.
EDIT: So it looks like this worked: I turned off the device via recovery mode, and then flashed my stock firmware.
