[Q] Unable to use ODIN with P3113 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have P3113 (Tab 2 7.0). I installed the leaked JB supposedly for the P3113. I would like to go back to stock 4.0.4. When I try to connect to my PC when in Android system recovery <3e>, the tablet is not seen by ODIN. I see no errors when I look at the device properties. How can I proceed?
I can communicate with the tablet when I am booted in JB. I can place ZIP files on my external SD card.
Is there any firmware that I could install directly from the external SD card that would allow me to get back to a stock 4.0.4?

You need to be in fastboot not recovery... instructions are different - a different key combo on boot... I don't remember what it is right now...

Found the following instructions online:
2.Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113.
3.Reboot your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113 into Download Mode. You can do that by pressing and holding the Volume Up key (right key on the Volume rocker) and Power button. When a warning message appears, press the Volume Down key (left key on the Volume rocker) to continue into Download Mode.◦NOTE: To avoid confusion, the left Volume key refers to the button closest to the Power button. On the other hand, the right Volume key refers to the button farthest from the Power button.
4.Extract Odin3-v1.85_3.zip to a folder on your computer.
5.Click Odin3 v1.85.exe to launch Odin on your computer.
6.Using your USB cable, connect your tablet to the computer. The word “Added” will appear on Odin. If it doesn’t appear, make sure you have installed the necessary drivers on your computer.
Downloaded supposed stock 4.0.4, but it doesn't completely boot. It stops with a flashing SAMSUNG.
Anny suggestions?

Yeah, those instructions are ass backward, the "right volume key" as they call it is the VOLUME DOWN not volume up, volume up is the one closest to the power button.
With the tab turned off press and hold power and volume down (the further from the power button volume key) to access download mode that can be recognized by Odin.
OP, you are in recovery, you DO NOT flash with Odin when in recovery, you do it from download mode.

I understood that, but the instructions are better than others that I found and I was able to get the tablet to work wiht ODIN. What I still can't do is install a stock 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 that works.

Download the ROM zip in the first post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007876&highlight=restore
open the zip on the computer and extract the file HOME_P3113UEBLH2_999349_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 now REMOVE the .md5 extension off the end of the file as Odin doesn't recognize that extension, file name should end with the .tar extension
after flashing the ROM, if you bootloop do the volume up and power button combo to boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset then reboot and give it a few minutes to boot up the first time.

You need to pull the battery, put it back, and try one of the button combinations to get it into download mode on next boot. Your easiest route is either both volume buttons, and plug in USB without pressing power (which works on the Captivate), or hold just volume down and plug in USB (which is the right combination for an i9000). With one of these the phone should automatically power into the download mode. Get Odin one click ready to flash stock before you put the phone into download mode and hit start when it recognizes the device. If that won't work. try the other key combinations keeping in mind that they change when you flash an i9000 image, so you should try all Captivate combinations, and all i9000 combinations. Since the Captivate lacks a physical home button, anything that involves that will not work, which is the reason why you are stuck in recovery. The i9000 recovery is expecting you to press the home button to select (unlike the power on the stock Captivate).
also, ADB commands should work while the phone is in recovery mode
Same Problem
The Key combination Vol +, Vol - and the power button power cycles the phone whether or not the phone is in recovery mode or off. I am having the same problem, and there are no key combinations that worked for me. For now, I am permanently stuck in recovery mode. I could use some help here, as I have tried everything.
Oh, for the I9000 ROM installed on the captivate, adb commands do not work. While the phone is in recovery mode, you cannot connect to the PC.
I have found though, that by booting into the recovery menu, plugging in your USB cord and then taking out/putting in the battery will put into an unknown upload mode which does connect it to the computer, but not in a way that allows Odin or adb to run. There might be a way to flash/work with the phone, but I don't know how. Any help would be appreciate, as it is not in disk mode.

1. Take out battery and put it back in
2a Hold Vol Up+Vol Down (Do not press power)
or
2b Hold Vol Down (Do not press power)
3. Plug in USB cable connected to computer (Still do not press power)
If the phone behaves like a Captivate, after using 2a and 3, you should be in download mode. If the phone behaves like an i9000, after 2b and 3, you should be in Download mode.
Response & Update
Have tried both of these options. Either way you do it, the phone still goes back into recovery mode. There was talk about using a custom kernel that would allow you to use the power button as the select button. Is there any way to use adb in recovery mode, so you can install the modified kernel, or reboot to download mode? If not, I started a thread on this question that can be found here as well:

There may be another method using an AnyWay JIG cable: which is a MicroB USB to Standard USB connector where I think one crosses pin 3 and 4 with a 301kOhm resister 1% tolerance, 1/4Watt. It would be best to search this forum for precise instructions.
Win for a dumb f%^k
well this isnt a good answer but i have a phone that went as discribed, no respose to three button, and unable to flash or get off the system reset screen on start up work on it for about 6 hour then left it when i came back i turned it on plug in the usb and CMD'ed adb reboot download and what did you know this time it worked? reset from that screen and it return to normal sooo.... um good luck and there is a way out just not shore what exactly it is
good for some
okey after fidling around i found my phone responded to adb ie download adb open a cmd line and typing adb reboot download. from there i just cycled the power hold down the power button a while and it rebooted to normal working order. though i still cant get 3 button even with flashing the fix so no hacking for me hope this helps
I'm using the Samsung Fascinate, i500 and i got stuck on the same screen too!!! i just double tapped the home button and rebooted the phone
I was able to get out of a 2e loop by running adb reboot download with odin open, then reflashed from there. Went through the same process twice since cognition 2.3b8 does not want to install on my phone. had no problem with b7 install.
Instructions were not that great. But Thanks -I figured it out and am back up.
Same problem here, cant make my phone go to download mode, ok or select key "power button" not working.
already tried the 2 methods before and they not working, (combination of keys)
Vibrant stuck in android system recovery 2e
I know this is not exact help but i just accidentally found myself into download mode after more key combo fiddling. I believe the last combo that got me in was either holding UP + POWER or just UP at the precise moment the screen goes black to reboot. This is after quite a few boot cycles so trial and error seemed to pull it off.
I'd test it again to be more sure but i don't want to risk being stuck again at this point. But I figured i'd speak up now, because i don't plan to have 2e there ever again.

For download mode on your tab, you need to hold Power and Volume UP (not Down). Otherwise, you get into the recovery mode...

Yes. And you have to press Power or VolDown (I think?) to confirm -- it tells you right there. When you are finally in the download mode, you will see a message like "Downloading. Do not disconnect target..." That's when Odin should recognize your tablet and be able to start flashing.
You press Volume Down and Power. Until it appears the lobo you only keep pressing Volume down and dont power button.

S6 Bricked (Can't get into recovery, not detected in Odin)

I have a Samsung Galaxy s6 (GM-920F I believe) and after a OTA update to the Marshmallow firmware, it fails to boot up on the Samsung logo (it displays it but doesn't make the sound) and I cannot use the volume keys to access recovery (or download mode). In addition it isn't detected by Odin on vairous PCs (and I've used lots of different micro USB ports). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Why you can't boot into download mode? If you press volume down + home button + power button for a very long time, it should boot into download mode.

[SOLVED] Lenovo A536 - how to reboot to recovery mode

Hello, I have a big problem with rebooting to recovery mode. I can reboot to recovery only with application. If I turn my phone off and then hold volume up + power, then I get black screen with only one yellow Chinese text on the very top left side and then after 1 minute it's get into Chinese recovery.. My question is: how to get into custom recovery without using applications like for example "Quick boot".
I need it, because I have to install ROM again, because I did a big mistake, when I deleted one file from the "system" folder. Now my phone boot without problem, but after that everything is lagging and all applications stop working, then it automatically reboot phone..
I can't flash firmware with SP Flash Tool, because of Windows drivers. My laptop does not recognize the phone. It says: "Unknown USB device".. That's why I need to get into custom recovery for installing ROM.
Thank you in advance for help.
This helped:
With the phone powered off
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button
When phone vibrates release power button only.
As the No Comman Screen release all buttons.
Press and hold the power button and tap the Volume Up button.
Release the buttons. You must get into recovery mode.
Thanks to: Moto_Joy
