So a few weeks ago I rooted and installed a custom rom on my cousins tablet. He said it started acted weird and then said his rom had an available update so he downloaded and installed it. Now its stuck in a boot loop. I tried to tell him to put it in recovery mode but he ended up putting it in odin instead. I then told him to reboot it into recovery mode saying doing the opposite of what he just done, given the fact that this is all thru texting bc he lives 500 miles away. He said that the tried recovery mode but just shuts off instead. Would odin wipe the recovery image off his tablet? If so what can he do to fix it? I told him that he can try to go thru odin and reinstall cwm recovery again but I'm just taking a wild guess at it. I feel bad and personally responsible for the problem bc I convinced him to let me work on it but its hard to provide tech support when its not in front of u...any ideas or solutions to this?
Thanks!

if he can get in to download mode, tell him to download the latest firmware for his product from sammobile.com, then flash it through Odin. it would wipe everything including the recovery image - but the firmware should install stock recovery on his tab so he can do a wipe data/factory reset from there. Don't feel too bad, i'm sure he knew the risks (unless you skipped that bit)
P.S Which tab is it? which rom was installed?
He got it to work by reflashing cwm thru odin and everything booted up normally from what I understand with all his apps still there.
He's on the 7" tab 2 and running the newest pacman rom.

This is for the people who got a new captivate through return or purchase or how ever you obtained it. If you tried flashing a new rom and now are stuck at the att boot loop or the battery loop and your phone will not boot up here is help.
1. See if your phone will do the 3 button recovery to get into download mode.
2. If you cant get into download mode you might need a Jig or do the resistor technique to get into download mode.
3. See if this odin (I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe) will flash your phone back to the stock 2.1.
4. If after flashing the 2.1 odin and your phone still has boot loop then try the 2.2 stock odin
5. Next do the same as previous but try with this odin (I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears_1_.exe) which is the 2.2 stock odin.
Note all of these flashes require you to be in download mode and have odin fired up on your pc the plug in your phone so odin can recognize it so
a. be in download mode (not connected to PC)
b. have odin open on pc
c. Plug in phone to pc and start odin.
odin likes to stop flashing when setting pit file so if it freezes give a sec and if nothing try it again.
if odin freezes on the set pit file your phone will have the dreaded phone to pc icon during boot but dont panic set your phone into download mode and try again.
If any questions should arise PM me or leave a comment and others and i will try and help.
Took me two days to fix my phone after flashing to stock to root it but i hope this helps you turn your 400 dollar paper weight back into a phone.
umm thanks but we know how to use odin there are a million guides in every ginerflash and captivate sticky.
and the 2.2 odin is actually an internal samsung beta 2.2 not official.
returning it with the designgears 2.2 will be an obvious warranty breach if they notice.
and your Step 4 and 5 seem to say the same thing... "flash 2.2 odin" (which isnt official)
and THE REAL FIX FOR THE BOOTLOOP:
reboot into RECOVERY > (not download)
wipe cache and data! (or factory reset)...
DONE!
reboot into the rom that you were trying to use!
takes 20 seconds and no reflashing anything.
i ran into this a few days ago while trying to root a friends captivate(1008) purchased from walmart recently. after trying to flash back to stock i was stuck on att boot loop and could not get into download mode via button combo to save my life. tried everthing minus a jig....after getting fed up with it, i sat it aside. to my amazment, after about 10-15 minutes the mf booted up. i had to use adb to reboot into download mode. flashed with odin(from aio toolkit) back to 2.1. everything worked fine, no problems except for one thing...sometimes it will still loop for a few minutes before it boots...sometimes it boots right away. Im still investigating the whole ordeal but my point here is: if you think your phone is stuck on att screen, just let it sit for a while....maybe a long while. and it should boot. then use adb to get back to download mode. i read every forum post on the web about this issue...just found this thread and thought id give ppl a heads up. hope it helps
I'm stuck in a bootloop right now on the Galaxy S animation screen and this wipe cache and data method doesn't seem to work for me.
so i recently tried flashing a darky rom theme onto my captivate running mosaic 8.
it worked the first time. then i tried another theme didnt like it, so flashed the darky rom one, and now, bootloop....
i can get my cappy into download mode, but odin doesn't recognize it.
i cannot get it into recovery mode with holding down the volume up and down and power button.
i need help
--edit--
fixed!
biggest help i have EVER had in custom roms/rooting etc..

ok cmw is not mounting cache or anything else any other ideas
Well I was caught my the new MIUI ROM i saw this morning and decided to switch from Bionix. I have flashed many phones and farmiliar with the process. I left my phone alone while the install occured. I watched it wipe data and cache. Now when it powers up, the samsung logo appears for 2 seconds and a quick I9000 logo flashes for like .25 of a second. The 3 button method to force it into recovery. I dont have a usable copy of windows to boot camp from my mac so ODIN is currently not an option.
I can get the phone into download mode so i know its not a lost sailor, i just need a mac solution without booting windows. I really dont want a refurb replacement from warranty either
You want heimdall.
Yup. heimdall rocks

SO here goes...
first off i am rooted, have all appropriate drivers, etc, have used dab to root.
I am a total newb, and was experiencing issues flashing a new ROM. when trying to install the zip through cwm the phone said "signature verification failed" or something to that extent. so being the deductive thinker that I am, I formatted everything: boot, system, sd, etc. After doing this, I realized that I totally wiped out all the files on the internal sd.
so i downloaded the heimdall one click- it connects but fails regardless of whether i flash boot loader.
i can access blue 3e recovery and download mode.
now. i want to know if it is possible to push or even install a ROM through adb. I've been playing around with it all day and have gotten nowhere.
i thought maybe i could load up a rom to an external sd but obviously you can't mount an extsd in cwm.
am i screwed?
ill gladly donate through paypal if someone can help me get my baby up and running again. i do not want to be using my nokia from middle school anymore!!
thank you in advance for ANY help you can give me.

OK, I did watch the n00b guide and I did spend nigh-on 3 hours, no exaggeration, trying to find my solution among previous posts.
But it looks like I've really messed up.
Idiot that I am, I installed a P3113 ROM, and it worked, too. It was OK. But I was a bit worried so I thought I'd try to get a proper P3110 ROM going. I elected to go back to stock imagining that this would be the safest course.
What I think I did was wipe the thing altogether with some good old fashioned ham fisted clumsiness and not paying attention. I tried then getting a stock ROM and flashing it with ODIN. ODIN seems to think it's done the job, it goes to PASS and so on, but when I try to turn on I get the Tab 2 screen and then everything stops at the Samsung jingle screen. I can't power off completely, it just restarts. I CAN get into recovery and download but I can't do much else. ODIN mode says my Current binary is Samsung Official, so it's done something but I'm getting the fear.
When you stop laughing at me can you please advise my wisest course of action? Stupid thing is I can flash and mess around with my Desire S and GNex until the cows come home, but this has me flummoxed and greatly worried.
Can you go into recovery and wipe /data or factory reset?

I can. I tried that but it seems not to help. Thanks anyway.
Go to www.samfirmware.com
Download firmware and go to download mode and reflash again
Or if recovery stock so connect with kies and their is option to restore or recover firmware
Or if recovery Cwm, put cm10 or so in external sd ( copy from computer to card) then factory reset , delete cash and delete dalvik then flash it

Panic over, but thanks for your time chaps.
Let joy and relief flow unconstrained!
It's taken six hours but I installed and reinstalled and factory reset half a dozen times with P3110XXBLH1 and P3110XXBLH2.
And then I tried P3110XXALD4_OXALD4. This has worked.
That's a weight off. Sorry to bother the threads, I was starting to panic a bit. Typical.

Please I need help restoring my P3110 to it`s factory settings.
I was trying to change display density with LCD Density PRO and now I`m stuck with a bootloop. I can access both recovery and download modes, so I think an ODIN image will restore the tablet back again. I found some here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838072
I purchased my P3110 in Brazil and none of those ODIN images refer to the brazilian model. Is there a problem if I just pick one of those (like the german or the UK firmware) and flash it to the brazilian P3110?
BTW, I can't mount my external_sd. CWM 6.0.1.1 just says it "can`t mount external_sd"
help
what recovery should i install should i install CWM or Phils
i want to install lollipop in gt-p3110 will it work or kitkat?
if u guys could help me i appreciate that thanks u guys

Sooooo.
I rooted the S3 fine and everything was going swell ( [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean OTA ***UPDATED 12/25***)
UNTIL
I ran a google wallet installer app [App][Mod]Google Wallet Installer (and i forgot to read that i needed busybox) and immediatley it restarted the phone and now in a softbrick loop just black after the GS3 logo.
I was able to get into ODIN and CWM (well i cant now i tried rerunning the CWM and TWRP install from ODIN) and now i cant even get into a recovery mode it just says custom at the bottom so i think i screwed that part up.
I have some pictures of our vaca in NYC i though they backed up to googleplus but i guess they didnt eeeeek.(and i dont even know if theres a possibilitty to get them off and then i could probally wipe everything and start fresh) when i had CWM working i couldnt get ADBshell to connect nor in ODIN as i was trying to do some sort of mount/backup or edit a build.prop file.
BUt im def needin help and not sure where to go this time

1. pictures should be stored on sd card, if you wipe, it will still be there. BUT, if your camera was set to store to internal storage, it MIGHT get wiped. Some odin images don't wipe it. If its on sd card don't worry about it, or just take it out of the phone and transfer files to computer.
2. just find a stock odin image and flash using pda section in odin, should get you back to stock.
To do that, phone needs to be in download mode. Get into download by holding down and home, press power, let go of power when phone vibrates, keep holding until it and follow directions on phone. Then connect and flash.
Just boot into Odin and flash any of the NO WIPE tar images from MrRobinson's thread.

You can use Triangle Away to reset this.

Well...
I stupidly deleted everything of my phone as I felt as though it needed a fresh start.
Now I cant get past the samsung and yellow triangle boot phase.
I can enter recovery mode and download mode and have been messing around with ODIN all day to try get this thing to work.
From the reading I've done I realize that I will need to flash the ROM via ODIN but have no idea how to approach this.
Is this a soft brick? Or have I screwed my phone completely?
How do I go about fixing this problem?
Thanks.
