[Q] Can't flash custom roms - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have read countless of threads on how to flash cyanogenmod 10.1 and other roms but I have only succeeded in flashing an official (stock) 4.1.1 firmware.
I have tried flashing with ODIN, heimdal, through CWM and with Rom Manager but with no success. My phone is rooted, that I could do. I first flashed the stock (newer) firmware, then I went on flashing clockworkmod touch and then I rooted the phone.
I want to try cyanogenmod 10.1 or other roms but I never succeed in flashing. It always gives me a kind of error and I can't understand why. Is it because the bootloader might be locked or something? I am not sure so could anyone please help me?
I have a samsung galaxy tab2 10.1 gt-p5100 tab
Thank you in advance!

[Q] Help! N8010 stuck at samsung logo.

hi all, I'm trying to upgrade to KK with a stock/official fw; linky via odin 3.07. I am able to flash successfully, the tablet restarts and then just sits at the Samsung "blue oval thing"
I've tried TWRP touch 2.8.0.1 to install Gnabo 6.5, following instructions of Here, using "Installation for N801x". All has gone as expected until I tried to install the bootloader section, TWRP crashes to bootloop each time.
I've tried re-downloading the bootloader as well as clean flash of KK and using CWM touch 6.0.3.6 in place of TWRP; same result.
I have a backup of 4.0.something, but i want 4.4.2. Any suggestions are welcomed, TIA.
check bootlader version

Did you flash the Leaked n8000 firmware that Changes the Boot-Loader to the knox boot-loader. If so i think you have to flash a 4.4.2 zip with Mobile odin as it does not do a Boot loader check. There are several threads about 8010 Devices STUCK Into using the n8000 firmware only. Then you have to apply the no cell and wifi fix patches. I do not have a 8010 mine is 8013 so i do not have this issue and have not read totally up on it. It just seems this could be your Trouble.
Good Luck
Thanks Erica_Renee,
I've read about this issue in a few threads, I didn't feel it affected me as my bootloader screen
View attachment 2968202
doesn't show anything about Knox.
but, as I'm short on options; why not. So you're saying go back to 4.0.whatever, install mobile odin and flash KK N8010 rather than through odin on desktop?

[Completed] [Q] Cannot Flash SGH-T999

Hey Guys need you HELP.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 which was running on android 4.3 (official rom). I rooted the device and also flashed ClockworkMod Recovery which was successfull.
I tried few roms and it did not work and i got an error which siad I have a d2spr device and the rom i was trying to install was meant for d2tmo.
now how is that possible? d2spr is for Sprint and d2tmo is for T-Mobile... and my device is T999 (T Mobile) (I REALIZED THIS AFTER MESSING UP MY DEVICE)
Later I flashed it with a custom rom via recovery menu and after that i tried loading GAPPS also from recovery mode. The custom rom was ok but gapps failed to install.
After falshing the custom rom i checked about device and it says the model number was dat of a sprint mobile (i747)
I tried other custom roms and gapps.zip but now my phone will not boot...when i turn it on it shows the SGS3 CWM screen and reboots into recovery.
No luck trying to flash it with a stock rom using odin either.
NEED SERIOUS HELP PLEASE!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. First, only flash roms that are specific for your exact device. With your model number changing like it is it appears you've flashed some roms for other devices. You may not be able to recover the device. but see this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

i dont have any experience with your device, but you may want to review the roms thread and see if they mention upgrading the bootloader and/or modem. cm 12 is a good bit newer than what you have on, and those things commonly need to be upgraded.
check before you try it and ensure you need it or not, im just stating general facts

[Completed] in desperate need for flashing a d2vzw(Verizon SGS3) SCH-I535

Hey everyone, I've been researching for days, trying to figure out how to Unlock my bootloader on a 4.2.2 OS d2vzw(Verizon SGS3) SCH-I535. it seems the only way I can start flashing new roms( specifically CM 12.1) is to install a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM, but it locks up my recovery and I end up flashing the stock 4.2.2 over and over again. are there alternatives ways to flash roms? is it impossible to unlock my bootloader on a 4.2.2? is there a way I can downgrade my bootloader? help please nothing is working and I can't find current information....Thanks. :good:
