[Q] Samsung P5113

I think my daughters tablet has been soft bricked but im unsure of how to fix it.
It was running ICS i believe. We had two of the tablets(both bought at exactly the same time). I went to update them both and the first one downloaded and installed an update absolutely fine without any issues. The second one (the one in question) downloaded it but wasnt able to install the update. It just failed and reset the clock every time i tried.
I decided to reset it completely and was then going to flash the latest jelly official rom( onto it which i found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668
So i booted into recovery and wiped it and did a factory reset but then the thing just got stuck in a continuous boot loop.
So i wiped it again and now everytime it boots it just boots into recovery unless i specifically hold power and volume up to boot into download mode.
So i thought that was odd but i would just go ahead and put the rom on and maybe that would fix the issue. So i used odin and the jelly bean rom shown in that thread above
P5113UECLK7 (4.1.1) - Cellular south November 2012 (Official)
It all went fine it passed and i thought it would now work. I had to unplug the cable and it turn the thing on as it just started charging after completing instead of restarting and it did come up with a status loading bar as if it was going to do something but then it just turns itself off again after a few seconds and again when you try to turn it on it just goes straight into recovery.
The tablet is charged up to 100% but i cant get it to do anything else.
I tried using ICS instead P5113UEBLI1 (4.0.4) - Singapore September 2012 (Official)
but still the same. Not sure what else to do? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

In Odin did you have the auto reboot option selected? I'm asking because I was in the situation as you..I flashed wrong cm10 ROM and it was just in a boot loop.. I let the battery run out and then I charged it while it was off. I downloaded the stock jb firmware(mine came with jb preinstalled) and flashed with only auto reboot checked nothing else and it worked..

(sOLVED) my note is stuck on Samsung boot screen!!

i upgraded my note N8000 via odin mobile pro with success and everything was smooth and the root was not intact
I tried to flash a theme via mobile odin but was not success, but note was still ok
then 2 days later I tried to enter the recovery mode , i found the note stuck on samsung boot screen and dose not reboot, I can enter download mode but can not enter recovery mode to reflash even the stock rom
what to do?
should i reflash the CWM as 1st time? then reflash the root if i found it is gone?
or i have to reflash the stock rom first via odin desk top since i can not reboot the note? problem is the stock rom is on the note and do not have it on PC
the note now is on Samsung boot screen, how to turn it off since note can not remove the battery?
EDIT 1::good:
Flashed a stock recovery via odin desk top, and rebooted
Note is back alive , no wipes, every thing still there, root still here
Rebooted once again with success
rebooted into recovery (stock since I lost my CWM) with success
EDIT 2
Flashed CWM and my note is back for my modifications

Do you have a link to where you found the stock recovery rom/image? And how did you flash it? I am having a similar problem right now.

do u mean the stock rom? I got it from samobile.com
or u mean u want the stock recovery?
try this
http://mirror21.downloadandroidrom....e10.1/recovery/N8000_StockRecovery.tar?token=

Will reflashing the tablet to stock, delete all of my files off of it? Is there a way to retrieve the files through download mode somehow?

It says you flashed a stock recovery. Is it the same case for a stock ROM?

sorry, my mistake, flashing the stock rom will not delete your stuff, just be sure to flash the same rom or higher, not lower one

So, I tried flashing the stock recovery and that did not work. And then I tried flashing the stock rom (multiple times with different roms) and that did not work either. My tablet is still stuck on the screen that says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1". Do you have any other suggestions?

can u write some details about what was before and reason for problem, to think together about a solution

My Note 10.1 N8013 was rooted, had TWRP, and Cyanogenmod 10.2 Nightly on it. I hadn't touched it in two days and went to turn it on. It wouldn't turn on, so I assumed it was dead. I charge it overnight and try to turn it on in the morning, but it just goes into a boot loop. The tablet says "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" and stays that way until it dies. If I boot into recovery mode, the Teamwin (TWRP) title screen pops up and then immediately disappears. The tablet then shows the battery loading icon if it is plugged in. The icon shows up, then disappears and the shows up again and repeats this a few times. I could only boot into download mode successfully.
I have tried flashing different stock roms and recoveries through odin, including the one that you have linked on here. None of them have worked. I have also tried repartitioning the tablet, which passed on Odin, but did not solve the problem.
Other forums say that I should do a factory reset or wipe the data, but I do not know how to do this without being able to boot into recovery or the OS itself.
Thanks
P.S. I also brought it to Best Buy to see if the Samsung guy could reflash the stock rom, but his rom did not work either. They are all passing on Odin, so it isn't an error in that case.

I read that a lot of people got problems with Cyano roms. I did not like it and never used it, sorry can not help you

Could it be because of the Cyanogen rom? I didn't update recently... I probably updated it a week before it died. Would you happen to know how to do a factory reset / wipe the data from the tablet, if I can't get into recovery mode or the OS?

I don't think that there is any other way, sorry about that.
try to put your problem in the Cyano rom thread, may others had the same and solved it

Ok thank you

Let me know if you get it fixed
Hi kyleschepis,
Let me know if you find a solution. I have a very similar issue . . . the difference is, I am not using a custom ROM. I have the stock ROM that came with the GT-N8013.
My issue started about 5 days ago. My Galaxy Note had been having occasional issues with the external SD card. A warning would appear saying that the SD card had been removed, and a couple of seconds later it would re-mount and every thing was fine.
But 5 days ago, I picked up my note and turned the screen on (it was already started) and noticed the warning message while the screen was still locked. Then, as the second message was still being displayed letting me know that the SD card had been mounted, I swipe the screen to unlock. But instead of unlocking, my Note completely rebooted. It got as far as the logo screen (displaying "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"), but would go no further.
I am able to get into the Odin download mode but cannot get into recovery mode no matter what I do/
I have tried re-flashing the stock ROM ("KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5") several times, as well as trying to install customer recovery modes like CWM and TWRP, as well as the stock recovery. But the power + volume up combination does not get me into recovery mode. Even if, as many have suggested, I continue holding the button combination until the logo screen displays a second or a third time.
I have been without my Note for 5 days now, and I use it for everything. So, any help I can get would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

I have the same problem. I was just playing a game when it suddenly turned off and went to the boot screen. Also tried installing N8000XXUDNE5_N8000OLBDNE3_N8000DXUDND1_HOME.tar.md5 (success but also didn't work). Still stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen.
Also can't access recovery, or do a wipe before installing firmware (I think USB debugging isn't turned on).
Did you find any solutions yet?
Thanks.

Don't know what to do

First I tried to update from jelly bean 4.2.2 to lollipop 5.0 . first I get into odin mode tried to update to nb1. But I can't odin says fail. I tried a lot of times but same so I was tired and switched off my phone then switched on it said firmware update failed. Try recovery mode in kies. I downloaded stock rom and tried to install it but still fail. I downloaded stock recovery and installed it. So the thing happened is now if my battery is charged it gets stuck on Samsung Galaxy s4 and if the battery is not charged it just get switched on and gets off again after 1 second showing the logo. I can boot into odin mode. If I plug in charge it sticks on battery and a loading sign in the battery. It is stuck even the loading not move. I'm confirm that the stock rom,nb1 rom and stock recovery are for my device only that is sgh-i337. Please help xda.

samsung galaxy stuck on boot loop

heyy buddy i am stuck on battery logo of my samsung galaxy s2 after happily using latest work[lollipop 5.1] nightly build... but unfortunately my phone got switch off and it would never start...anyhow i flashed the rom once again...it got start and after 2-3 minutes it got switch off again.... and i am unable now to go into recovery mode.... i can go only into download mode and thats after only when i connect it to charger or usb...otherwise it wont go in download mode also.. i have also tried flashing stock rom using odin...but its of no use,,,even though odin shows pass mesaage the phone would stop on battery image... and its not getting charged also(i think so because the battery percentage is not increasing).... please help me guys

Hello,
if your phone don't charge, the battery can be defect.
My first step would be:
Buy a new battery for the I9100

It seems like battery is not an issue here.
Through odin flash a new cwm/twtp recovery and try factory reset and wipe delvik catch.
After that flash the rom.
This may work

My S7 Duos is totally unresponsive, black screen but blue LED is on

I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.

Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out

Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.

If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock

I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
