Can't Boot Into Recovery. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having an unusual problem for me I've not came across this before, I can get my tab 2 - 5110 to boot into download mode but not recovery mode, It will boot to the rom normally when I shut it down completely to the charge battery animation will it boot up normally. If I try restarting the tablet by holding in the power button then releasing it at the samsung logo it just goes to a blank black screen also kies nor odin recognises my tablet its a very unusuall problem for me and I've tried everything I know to try fix it but with no success so far, I was running phils touch recovery and brolees 3.0 themed rom, my tablet worked perfectly until I tried to install brolees 4.0 over the top of his previous one the 3.0 which I thought would have been straight forward, at first it wouldn't get past the samsung logo but I worked out if I can get it to shut down to the charge battery animation it will boot normally but it reloads the apps everytime, anyhoo if anyone has had a similar issue or knows what stupid mistake ive made I would really appreciate any help, thank you in advance!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket - Bootloop

Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
Turn phone on and wait 2 hours. If it wont work do what you use to do when you booting recovery mode. (home screen i guess). But hold it longer.
Good luck
nathan-96, do you have any idea what caused this? Because what's concerning me is that it's not getting past the Samsung icon (before android starts actually booting).
When you say turn it on, do you mean just put in the battery? Because the loop starts right when I put the battery in, it doesn't wait for me to press anything.
No, I meant turning it on. Hold centre button and put battery in. Just hold it for a moment. Hopefully you will reach recovery.

Can you access download mode instead of recovery? If so you could try re flashing something with Odin...
Definitely try getting the battery out for a few minutes and boot the phone while maintaining the combination to enter recovery

You have CWM on your phone? Have you visited the forum for your device?

AT&T Skyrocket BOOT LOOP Cyanongenmod 10
Hi ,
I´am playing with my Skyrocket to run the Cyanogenmod 10 and always I got stuck at Boot Loop .
This is what I have and did :
- Running AT&T Stock ICS 4.0.4 UCFL6 rooted ( I have a back up of this)
- CWM 6.0.1
- Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly Dec 07 , but I also tried with Cyanogenmod 10 Stable
- Gapps
- Factory Reset / wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Mount/storage format system
- install using CWM Cyanogenmod
- install using CWM gapps
- Mount/ storage format cache
- reboot
I also tried to wipe twice as other threads say.
So I´am still with the boot loop
I returned my backup to the ICS ...
Thanks in advance !!!
Skyrocket Bootloop
Whats happening is the power button acts as if its being pressed. Thats why you have the bootloop and the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in.
Try repeating pressing the power button or hold the power button without the battery for a few seconds. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] S2 won't turn on or boot to recovery

So I flashed the superlite CM10 rom yesterday and everything was running fine, except the phone would occasionally reboot. But this was happening when i had the older version of the same rom and it wasnt that big a deal. Today, it restarted and now it wont boot the OS, go into recovery, or anything. All it does is vibrate every few seconds. I get to the Samsung screen, then it goes black and keeps vibrating every few seconds. If i try to boot to TWRP, it gets to the TWRP boot screen, then the screen goes black and the same vibrating thing happens. Am i hard bricked or what? Thank in advance!

I need of serious help. Galaxy Tab GT-P3113 stuck in boot loop!

Ok so I have tried on another thread that kind of went dry mainly cause I was MIA....but now I am back and have done some more reading up and think it is safe to say rooting and trying customer ROM's is not for me...lol I pretty much messed up a new Galaxy Tab 2 7' brand new only after a few weeks trying to root it. I had another thread link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834368&page=2
But I did not get anything to work right. At this point I am really just looking to get the tablet working. I don't really care what firmware rooted or unrooted...i just want to be able to use it....do some more research and and maybe join the rooting community again when I get a Galaxy S3.
I'd appreciate any help. I am pretty stuck right now!
Go into Download mode "power" plus "down volume", then up volume. Use ODIN to load this:

You will need driver from Samsung Keis install for P3113

FYI - I needed to load CMOC10-Kernel to get my tab to stop boot looping when I flashed JB AOKP

Continous boot loop on tab 2 p3113
My problems are kind of different from all the others I have read. Yes it is similar that it boot loops. But mine freezes at different areas in boot mode. This is driving me crazy and I am spending way too much time and effort trying to fix it. Hopefully you can help.
I don't really know for sure if the android os was 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or some other rom but it did state in download mode that it was original and not custom rom.
I received this tab from ebay and it is new never used, but somehow whoever had it probably tried to flash it and now I received it with a continuous loop. They stated that it stuck in SAMSUNG logo. I found it true but it also stuck other places as well. I did do a reset first before I attempted to flash it.
I did the Odin flashing.I found the 4.2.2 xar file HOME_XAR_P3113UEUCMK3_1978026_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and did according to instructions. But that didn't work. It did boot into android but it didn't stay there very long and rebooted itself. I couldn't stay more than 20-30 seconds and it would reboot itself or freeze at various places in android. I also hard reset it. Still same thing. It would also freeze on the first samsung logo tab 2 screen and also at the blue circle with samsung logo. It was different every time. I would have to hold down the on button until it rebooted. It also stalls or freezes during Android upgrading... Optimizing app at various number stages sometimes it goes thru that and then to the next phase of installing apps then it freezes again. I cannot get it to work if I try to upgrade via wireless upgrade to samsung. it will freeze even before it downloads the upgrade file.
I then flashed back to the original xar file P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC which is 4.1.1 That worked a little better, but it freezes and also the sound chatters when it freezes on bootup you know, when the samsung sound comes on then the blue circle.
Finally I tried to recover or flash from the recovery mode using the upgrade from a sdcard. using the original 4.1.1 xar file. It hewlped a little but still doing the continuous boot loop at different stages but it gets to the Android is upgrading... more often. It freezes always now.
So I don't know what else to do. You mentioned a CMOC10-Kernel to load, how does one go about doing that and what are the steps.
Thanks in return if you can suggest things.

Help, boot image and charging draw error.

Hi.
I accidently flashed wrong theming thing for my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, and now i'm missing my boot image and charging image while power off and charging, tablet works thou and boot animation works fine, just the first boot image is missing and charging image while powered off.
It says in the boot something like this "logo_espresso10.jpg" draw error and while charging first it says something similar about the charging image, then battery charging animation works thou.
Using odin to flash stock back wont work, factory reset wont work or anything i've tried.
Is there any custom flashable file easily done in recovery? Back to stock boot images or any alternative.
I'm running AOKP build 5 JB meant for gt-p5100, and accidently flashed some aokp theme meant for milestone for the phone, not this tablet...
I'm getting gray hair, please help someone.
- Karri
Also if i power the device off, it boots directly to cwm then booting from there it boots to android.
How the hell you recover this to stock settings?
Somehow my boot is messed up, please anyone?

Note 10.1 GT-N8000 Boot Loop and Can't access Recovery Mode. Please Help

Hey all,
I was hoping that someone here could please offer some advice that I'm having with my tablet. Using the Note 10.1 GT-N8000
So at the weekend I had an issue where the tablet just kept freezing on me, screen wouldn't time out, clock wouldn't update etc. So after several reboots I figured the only thing for it would be to wipe it and start again. So after getting to recovery mode I wipe the cache and then eventually did the full wipe thing. Booted up after that as expected like brand new so I did the whole reinstalling my apps and what not thinking everything was a-ok. So I came back to it a lil later and it's off (so i think the batts just died on me) plug it in and put it on charge and boot up and it won't get past the 'Galaxy Note 10.1' screen and just cycles in a constant loop. I tried to then go to recovery mode again and whilst the holding up and power gets me to the screen I would first see the android logo with the energy belly (no menu options appear) and it would instantly switch to an android logo on it's back with a red exclamation mark icon atop it, before returning to the boot loop. I've tried to get into Odin mode which i can successfully do.
I've looked at some threads here about similar issues but tbh with some terminology used I'm a bit unfamiliar with so was lost on them quite easy, my knowledge on these issues being rather basic.
If anyone could offer any assistance I would be most grateful
Thanks
