stock firmware has caused boot to hang - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I recently returned my tab 2 7.0 (3110) to stock firmware from sammobile, after reading a few tutorials and experience of flashing a few devices i downloaded the firmware, extracted and flashed through odin 1.85, everything went ok and the device rebooted.
the device starts up, makes the standard sound and shows the boot logo.but it just keeps cycling the boot logo.
i cant seem to get the device into any mode, recovery or download, it just ignores all vol up and down presses and continues to boot.
any help you can offer is appreciated.
If i can get anything to work in the mean time, i will update.

Have you tried holding those buttons for 10 seconds?
Hold the buttons until the screen turns off.

Resolved now had to let the battery run out, plugged the charger in then managed to get into the e3 recovery, did a factory reset and it booted fine.

Can you get into download mode or recovery and do you remember if debugging was turned on

Download and install nexus root toolkit, have it restart your phone to recovery mode, then flash another rom.

Will this work on phone that is black screen on boot?
I've got two nexus-s (original no modifications except OTA updates). No battery charging indicator when plugged in and the phones wont boot when the power button is pressed. I tried the power+volume up/down and no difference. I've tried with charged batteries and several different power supply. connecting phone to PC via USB is not recognized by windows ? The phone will get hot on touch after a while plugged into charger and pressing power button but nothing showing on screen.
Both phones within two weeks the same issue as a result of pulling out the battery too early during a shutdown.
I also tried a JIG and it does not boot
I send mine to Samsung and said the powerbutton was broken. They fixed it and set the software back to 2.3.5. So everything works fine now

I've been stuck with about the same problem for the last few days. My non rooted stock phone gets stuck at the google colored 'X' boot screen and my power button is broken. Today I tried playing with it again and somehow I'm able to get to the bootloader screen by holding power + up (makes me wonder if my power button is really broken). Anyway, the situation gets even more weird because once I get to the bootloader screen none of the buttons work and my phone is frozen at the bootloader screen. I'm going to try to use the root toolkit that was suggested earlier and I'll see how that goes. I'm thinking that if I can get the phone to boot up I can somehow root it and have all the issues solved but I have no idea if that's possible from where I'm stuck. Any other ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I've tried using the root toolkit and followed the initial setup, but I'm getting a no device found message when I try the final test. I'm almost positive that this is happening because USB Debugging isn't enabled. I went ahead and tried rebooting the phone with adb and fastboot via root toolkit but it still says device not found.
Again any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

[Q] GT-P6800 - can only boot to download - help!

My GT P6800 was working fine a few days ago. Charged it fully and went on holidays. Went to turn it on, and no activity. Plugged it in to charge, the battery icon came on screen and I let it charge fully. I then tried to turn it on again, and it still wouldn't turn on. I've now found that the only thing I can do is boot into download mode. Vol Down and Power brings up the Download Mode menu, when I press Vol Up, it enters Download Mode, when I press Vol Down to reboot, the screen blanks and nothing happens. I've tried pressing the power button for up to 30 seconds - nothing. I've tried entering recovery mode using Vol Up and Power buttons - nothing.
I entered download mode and tried to install ClockworkMod recovery using Odin, but once Odin had finished and "rebooted" the tablet, the screen went blank and nothing happened.
I'm happy to blow this away, install any ROM etc., would just like to get it working. It's been a while since I last rooted/flashed it, but I believe it's still running 4.04, and was rooted some time ago.
Any tips very welcome!
Try flash a full stock firmware package with Odin.
Try with your current firmware version first.
Try with HC 2nd.

Hmmm... I installed P6800XXLQ2_P6800OXALQ2_ATO obtained from Sammobile using ODIN, had "Automatically reboot" ticked, and once the flashing finished, the device didn't reboot. I then tried all the power button options, and the only one that gave a response was entering download mode. I then entered download mode, and let it sit there for a while while I did a bit more research, and then I noticed the screen went blank. I've now tried to turn it on again, and now get no response at all. Will try to plug it in to charge for a bit and see if it responds.
Any other ideas?
Ok, not sure what's happened here. Plugged it in, it showed the charge icon, and then booted up. Nothing has been wiped, it still shows as 4.0.4. I'm wondering if for some reason it was actually booting, but the screen wasn't coming on properly, and therefore it's run the battery down. It's now showing as charging, and the battery currently has 0% charge. Will let it charge for a while, then try root, install CWM and flash 4.1.2....
thanks for your help.
I have the same problem. I can enter only in download mode, if I press Vol Up I still see Samsung logo, no any actions. I've tried to install CWM, stock firmware, PIT with re-partition. No success. Need your help, please.
If you'se can get to download mode... using Odin, Flash stock Honeycomb..3.2...
If you get that (HC) up and running, then do the steps to up and up to JB...
good luck

Tab 2 gt-p3113 stuck in bootloop

Hi..I was disappointed with performance on 4.2.2, and decided to flash back via odin to 4.1.1. I forgot to go into recovery and wipe data first, and now, after the update, it boots to the android with the symbol spinning above it, and the progress bar goes so far and stops. After a while, it goes to the samsung screen and bootloops there. I cannot access recovery, holding volume up and power just keeps going to the android with the spinning symbol again, and the progress bar. Can't see it in adb now either. Anybody have some suggestions?
Are you sure you flashed the correct tar? Try getting into down load mode and flash again. Just hold volĂ· and power button it's tricky but you can get into dl from a boot loop holding down power will make it reset and when it first boots let go of power while still holding vol+

I can get into download mode, it is a little tricky but I can. If I knew for sure I had the proper 4.1.1 or even 4.0.4, I would be better off. The file was the XAR version, which my download mode said in the bottom corner. And it allegedly was the 4.1.1 file for the tab 2 7" gt-p3113. If you or anyone has the 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 originals, I'd be very grateful. I'll worry about root later when I get it working!
Got it...had to reflash recovery, then I got it to clear data, and it booted. WHEW!

Samsung S6 - Bricked trying to restore stock recovery

Hi Guys,
Trying to figure out what I did wrong here... So i have a Samsung s6 with xtrestolite ROM, I wanted to flash back to stock, so i went into download mode, downloaded the stock recovery and flashed it via AP on Odin. The phone rebooted after the 'pass' message, then stayed stuck on the loading screen, wouldn't turn off, I had to open the phone and pull the battery. Now it won't turn on whatsoever, if i plug it in to charge, the charge graphic comes on, and then if i press and hold power it goes to the loading screen, but nothing else.
Holding VolDown+Home+Power wont get me into download mode, even if i hold the buttons for a good few minutes... any thoughts?

Firstly, when you are stuck on the Samsung logo, you need to hold volume down, home button and power at the same time until it brings you to the download mode screen. Second of all, if you want to go back to stock, you don't flash the stock recovery.. You download the firmware for your EXACT device model from websites such as Sammobile., then flash it using Odin And the last thing you want to do is remove the back. If you are still stuck in the current situation; while it is powered off, hold power, home button, and volume down and go into download mode. Then download the flash the EXACT firmware for your model of device, it will say at the top left in download mode, that is your current model. If these steps fail then I can't help you any further, you may want to ask someone else. If you don't know how to flash stock firmware, google it.

That error means it's the wrong firmware. Flash the stock that was on it before you messed about with custom ROM.
Also please read ALL instructions when flashing custom ROMs, some take 15 minutes on first boot.
UPDATE
the error only happened as i wasnt flashing the very latest stock rom. downloaded from samsung website and now is working fine
phew
