[Q] Problems while rooting tab 2 p3100 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I was running latest updated operating system of Tab 2 P3100 - Android Jelly Bean 4.1.X.
One of my friends advised me to root it.
We followed a thread on the site and tried to reboot after following some steps of loading clockwod odin and some update...Upon rebooting, phone never rebooted and froze at welcome screen showing Samsung Tab 2 P3100.
After that we tried to upload many boot images but none worked. then tried another boot loader of some recovery and update. But didnt boot.
Only option left is to download firmware and install it. But I have a slow internet connection so that would be last option to download it. And moreover not sure if it will work after downloading and installing.
Any way out?

download latest Rom/firmware for ur tab from sammobile.
flash it again with odin.

can you tell us which guide exactly? also, flashing boot images and boot loaders is not the best idea, you could damage it even further, beyond normal (being able to do it home) flashing. do you know which guide you'll be using to flash stock firmware via odin?

Hi Bro,
Thanks for your help and Suggestion. btw i had already resolved this issue by flashing the cyanogenmod rom 10.1.2 for P3100 for timebeing. After that i was able to see the welcome screen and use it. Then i downloaded the Sungsonic™HD For SG TAB-2 P3100 rom and flashed it. Now it works like a charm and it is buttery smooth with the android version 4.2.2 with no lags. The rom (Sungsonic™HD For SG TAB-2 P3100) is really awesome..

The same to me, maybe superbrick.
Try to download pit file for P6200 and reflash firmware, pit file via Odin.
If not work, send it to SS service for warranty or repartition use pit file, look for at Gnotes, Tab 7.7 box.

I would expect that if you would find the files for the 6200 version that it would do the same thing. It's already borked. Is it under warranty

Q: update to JB to Lollipop

Hello All,
I want to install lollipop builds on my tab 2 7" (Gt-P3100) now i am on Jb 4.1.1 can i directly flash LP after i root and install philz. or tell me how to do i saw jb 4.2.2 update file but when i download it says site blocked. so please help me how to do in step by step
It's better if you download any 4.2.2 firmware from sammobile and flash it through Odin, because it will make sure that you have the latest bootloader, then you can root it, flash custom recovery, and then you can update to lollipop, any doubt or help? Feel free to ask me and make sure you go crazy on the thanks button ?
You can flash the latest bootloader from codeworkx dev-host folder, make sure you are in your device folder!

Here is the link to file you need to flash :-http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/17730/P3100XXDMG6_P3100OXADMG6_XEF/
I am also posting the steps:-
How to Update Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 to Official JB 4.2.2 XXDMG6 Firmware
Odin can be properly used only if your Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 drivers are being installed on your computer. If the drivers are not there, get them manually or use Samsung KIES.
Download Odin on your computer.
Unzip the file on your PC and install the same.
Also, run Odin on your computer.
Finally, go here and download the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 file.
Place the file on desktop and on the same place unzip the package.
Enter the Tab 2 in download mode.
For download mode first turn off your handset; wait a few seconds and then press on Power, Volume Down and Home buttons at the same time.
Connect your device with the computer via USB cable.
Odin will recognize your tablet and on the program you will see the “added” message displayed and the ID:COM section blue or yellow.
If not, resolve the problems by reinstalling the drivers on the computer.
From Odin click on the option named “PDA”.
Pick the update file from your computer.
The re-partition section and the f. reset time box should be unchecked.
Click on “start”.
The XXDMG6 Firmware will now be installed.
In the end on Odin the ID:COM section will be green and the “pass” message will be displayed.
Then, you will be able to unplug the USB cable; also reboot your device.

You don't need to update bootloader if you are on 4.1.2 as it has a lollipop compatible boot loader,
You can get the custom recovery file from here, I am posting of my favorite recovery that is TWRP
Just click here :- TWRP
Of course you need a rooted tab for flashing it, you can just download it to your tab and flash it by using Rashr (it's a app available on playstore, just click on it to go to the google play page to download it) or existing recovery, that you most probably don't have.
And tell me anything else you want, but don't forget to press the thanks button

If @Er. Abhi doesn't already have custom recovery installed, he can flash TWRP with Odin or Heimdall. I can confirm the Heimdall will flash the twrp img file.

Why you need firmware? Don't you have the 4.1.2 installed?

4.4.2

twrp
CWM
all successful but still stuck on Samsung Note 10.1 screen
& i cant enter to recovery
any idea???
There are two ways to fix this problem:
1. You can flash stock firmware via Odin.
2. Flash PhilZ Kernel via Odin and then flash custom ROM from it.

galaxy s6 g920F only booting in download mode

Hi guys,
got an s6 from a friend and trying to fix his problem. the phone only boots in dowbload mode. never rooted, and i tried flashing an official firmware through odin. Hidden.img doesn't flash so I extracted it blablabla flashed it the right way afterwards and passes but..no succes. I've done this before but this phone is a pain in the *ss! so I only get download mode. flashed stock recovery...no succes...

Hi,
Thanks for the help. Watched the video and follow his steps...
But now suddenly the hidden.img flashes on the phone.
So I get a green pass by Odin.
But phone doesn't start!
Tried "auto reboot" on and also off.
It doesn't fail anymore.
Deleted the hidden.img file and flashed it afterwards.
I can't get him alive. I'm gonna try other official firmwares with an older android version. I don't get it.... Why only download mode? Not even recovery opens. #notgivingup
should I try to root it with cf root and try to get a recovery mode on it? This phone needs to be wiped I guess.
try to get into recovery , and give general reset....
or try to install twrp -to install a custom rom...
does not make downgrade to android , it can break

Could it be that I super hard bricked this phone by flashing everything over and over? I always think, as long the phone boots in download mode you're pretty safe.
Can't flash twrp, stock recovery.....
No official firmware is booting the phone up. I used to have the hidden.img problem but nog every firmware flash completes but still doesn't boot the phone.
Is there an order in which I need to try to flash? Like, try firmware first, then a recovery,.... Or first a bootloader and modem, then a firmware...
Oh God help me!
Thanks for the replies I already got!
normal you should first bootloader ...after firmware

Wow that link is a whole lot of Chinese for me. but I'll look into it this weekend! Thanks for keeping up with me. My phone still boots in download so I'm a step ahead. Gonna try flashing stock firmware without auto-boot ticked in Odin, then reset and restart phone manually in download mode and try to flash right bootloader. Should I go for the latest firmware or more like a 6.0.1 firmware?
firmware 7. is to good , why use it 6. ?
"Wow that link is a whole lot of Chinese for me. " lol for me too

Well because I flashed like a couple of firmwares... And heard about downgrading is bad but... Yeah this isn't really downgrading.... Im just trying to wake up my friends phone. I will try to flash the latest firmware and then the bootloader right after it.
Hi guys,
So still no luck. Flashed latest stock firmware, tried flashing bootloader right after the successful flash, no luck. Tried rooting with cf-root, which completes but no custom recovery... Not booting. So yeah I'm on that download mode again. Anyone has some solutions I could try? Could I try converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file and flash it with Odin?
Thanks!
Hey guys
So I think i'm facing a similar problem on my s6 sm-g920f. When I flashed a stock rom 7.0 it passed with no errors, but when it tried to restart it just stays at Samsung logo. I too can't access recovery mode, only download mode. And when I try to do the "removing battery" method using volume down and power button it turns off but turns on right after and gets stuck on Samsung logo.

At least your phone is booting to the logo. I literally flashed everything! Recoveries, stock roms, tried rooting, bootloaders, stock rom with and without hidden.img...pit files.... if you find something... Let me know!
Huh am facing similar situation one s6 was in softbrick I I had odin mode successful but it showed G9280d, custom binary system official, I got a similar stock recovery then The device did boot to home screen but system wasnot stable everything stated crashing I did reboot that's when it could only stop at Android s6 then I did cross check to get it labled g920f flashing ends with either CM erorr or bootloader, in miracle it stopped at hidden or CM or pit in odin am clueless.
Man try holding V- ,home button and power key it will work just try harder. I faced it just today though mine is still.
