You need to use shortcut to go to download mode(Volume down + OK + Power) not recovery mode, as you're still on stock.
Then flash using ODIN.

IN the link i have given i think there is a turorial on how to flash bagaria.tar if none then go to download mode down volume power and menu HOLD THEM. Once in there, plug it in pc open Odin, Must see color yellow and word "added" in logview. Then clik PDA search bagaria.tar Once done you can now go to recovery mode w/ install zip.,.

Weird Issue With Gtab 2 10.1

Well here is the deal. I was trying to install twrp recovery but couldn't get into odin mode..I tried vol- & pwr, vol+ & pwr..but to no avail. Only way to boot into odin mode is with adb commands, but when I go into odin mode it doesnt display my flash count or model of the tab. Any help would be appreciated..

Is your tab being detected by the comp in Odin mode..?

Thanks for the reply..Well I didn't try because I didn't see any of the information in the top left..would reflashing stock firmware like this work or result in brick.

Do u all have the backup on the old rom. IF yes try to restore the old Rom and retry to download and retry to install it again.

Yeah its blank only if you use adb or the device reboot options for some reason. I guess since if you use volume buttons it shows a warning screen but doesnt with adb. You can check flash count and stuff in TriangleAway.

Looking for a Stock Rom for a Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5113

So I have a Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 that is more or less bricked. It won't allow me to boot in to the recovery in order to reset it. I've tried using Odin v3.07 to load Clockworkmod and the Stock rom that I found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420381
but Odin doesn't like Zip files.
I've tried the Vol - and power buttons and all I get is a black screen. Vol + and the power button get me the ODIN Mode. This was so easy to do on my GP5.0 but it at least had a working bootloader this thing is completely uncooperative. Please help.
Thanks,

Have you tried unzipping the stock ROM, then flashing the md5 through Odin? The md5 needs to be placed in the PDA, make sure repartition IS NOT checked.

I unzipped the "shakatu_GT-P5113_4.2.2" file but I don't see an MD5 file. There is a boot.img but that is about it.

So I would try and find the stock ROM from Samsung. The one in development, though it IS stock, isn't what you want to get it back up and running, you want the official Stock from Sammie. I would unbrick that sucker first, then go back and root, flash custom recovery, then ROM.

Perhaps you can find what you need here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5113

Is there a way to create a Boot SD Card and force the device to boot into a Recovery mode? CWM perhaps?

stuck in splash screen.

Factory reset and flashed rom. I hang in the splash screen with it saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing and set warrant bit:kernel
I have also tried my backup and during flash tells me it failed.. Any help would be greatly. Appreciated as I have no phone.

Have you tried going to download mode and odin back to a stock tar rom?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2729617. follow the step 1 -5 really you need to download odin from the link and the stock ND2 file is on the bottom of the post. then you would Flash the stock Nd2 tar (put it in "AP/PDA" in Odin). Make sure you have all the Samsung drivers install on your computer. to get in download mod you would hole the power button, home button and the volume down button to enter download mode. A warning should popup and you would push volume up the continue to download mode. Hope this helps.

[Q] Recovery Mode Buttons won't work - Cant boot also

Hi,
I have this old Galaxy Ace Plus phone which doesn't boot. It had an old SlimRom on it and I installed the stock firmware over it by odin.
The phone starts boots to the 'SAMSUNG' logo that appears in the middle of the screen just before the homepage screen and vibrates sort of 'prrrr prrrr prr prr prr' and reboots and the same thing continuously.
Since then it won't boot and won't even go to recovery mode. When I press the recovery mode combo it does nothing 'black blank screen and no sound or vibration activity as if the phone is switched off completely'.
As per a few threads I saw to fix the bootloop you need to go to recovery and flash a file but because I can't go to recovery I am stuck.
However I can go to the download mode.
Here is what I have tried so far..
Re-downloaded and reinstalled the stock firmware
Tried to flash different recovery's.
Tried different ODIN versions (all say passed/OK)
Reboot manually after odin flash directly to recovery mode
Played with battery and some buttons
Tried different location stock firmwares
Nothing so far..
Is there anything else I can try ?
Thanks.

have you tried with the last firmware for ace plus ??

Thanks for the reply.
All the Ace plus firmwares on sammobile are 2.3.6
I have tried of a few regions but all are failing at the same boot loop.

hmm.. have you tried to flash TWRP ??
ps: are you sure that you can't go on recovery ? the combo is volume - volume + home button + power button (on/off) and when you will see the logo "samsung" you must leave the power button but don't leave the other.

Yes i have tried the correct combo. However i will search and try to flash twrp.
Will let you know.
Thanks.

Thanks for the link, I have flashed it and it says RES OK and green color so I assume its fine. However the phone doesn't accept my recovery button combo ( Vol-Up + Vol-Down + Power + Home ). I think its scrap now.
Yes, I use Odin 1.85

maybe you have got a problem with one of button ?

I think so....I had the same problem some days ago....and I think it's an hardware problem (the power button)

You can also try to connect the phone on the pc via usb and try with adb commands
-write on cmd (terminal) adb shell and if you get
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 * ( the port number maybe can change)
* daemon started successfully *
-now write adb reboot recovery and the phone must reboot into recovery

When i use my mo it ll reboot

sorry, but what do you mean with mo ?
