[Q] Odin Issues with TWRP - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 model GT-P3113 and I'm having some problems getting TWRP onto it. It has already been rooted using Odin. I tried using Odin again to put TWRP on the device but whenever I press the Start start button, the program doesn't respond and I have to close it. I've tried re-doing this multiple times on different versions of Odin (1.85; 3.04; and 3.07) with the same outcome. Is it possible that my download of TWRP is corrupt? Has anyone else had this issue? I'm not sure what's going on and could use all the help I can get. Thank you.

I think I bricked my son's tablet!

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.

[Q] Help Odin stuck at modem.bin

Hi
I just got my Galaxy Note 10.1, model number N8005. It's the model that is sold in Turkey, has 3G&WiFi connectivity but can't make phone calls.
I'm really sorry before if this question had already been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyway, after unboxing it I decided to update the android version to the 4.1 Jelly Bean directly, by using the German rom.
The process in Odin start smoothly until it starts to install the modem.bin file and then it fails. I tried repeating the installation process about 5 times, changing usb ports, restarting computers, and it still fails at modem.bin. I forgot to take screenshot but the modem.bin file is installed after the recovery.img and system.img.
The tablet won't boot up after this process, it only shows the update failed, please connect to Kies screen. Since I don't know what to do anymore, i tried rooting it by using Odin and magically it succeed and the tablet start up normally. I checked the android version and it shows 4.1.1
The tablet runs pretty normally, except that the S Note application won't start. Everytime I open it, it immediately force close.
What I want to ask is what is the cause of error Odin fails in installing modem.bin file? Is this okay since there are still some file that odin hasn't installed yet (hidden.img, boot.img, cache.img and modem.bin)? (Also is there any way to fix the S Note app so it would run normally again? Should I try installing other rom again using Odin?
I'm pretty scared to install rom using Odin again now
Thank you.
(I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong section)

[Completed] Need Help Fixing my Semi-Bricked Galaxy S5

EDIT: See bottom of post
Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.

No OS installed, don't know what region of firmware to download

So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works

galaxy tab2 p51110 soft problem

hy
First of all i want to say two things:
1. This thread was opened after reading 179 similar threads and browsed all 260 pages of q&a answers
on the galaxy tab 2 and other several threads on Samsung products with similar symptoms.
2. Thank you in advance to however is able to resolve this issues, not only for me, but for several others.
the section is full of similar problems with no answer whatsoever.
The story:
My Samsung p5110 WiFi only (stock firmware), started to restart randomly and at one point froze at the Samsung logo.
I was able to enter in download mode, and with odin i "managed" to load the firmware for p5100.
And that was the mistake. at restart started to display: “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again“. But kies does not connect and recognize the device at all.
so out of the question to salvage the device in that mode.
Odin still recognizes the device, so i was able to load several stock firmwares:
P5110XXBLH4_P5110OXXBLH3_HOME.tar.md5
P5110XWALD4_P5110OXXALD5_HOME.tar.md5
P5110XXDNB1_P5110COADNB1_HOME.tar.md5
everything goes ok, it says pass, but there is no restarting, the screen goes black. when i turn it on
the same thing: "firmware upgrade.....
Tried to load CWM and TWRP recovery in order to delete everything in the device, installed ok but
no effect, it is not launching, only: "firmware upgrade....
I want to point out that USB mode was to enabled do to the fact that the tablet broke so it was not
planned, i have uninstalled kies and installed the samsung and omap drivers now, same results, and tried
all the usb ports.
I am running out of ideas and other suggestion i haven't found on this site up until now, so any
constructive help and comments will be welcomed by me and more than likely by the others in
my situation.
use odin in this way

well i had the same problem with my GT-P3113
there is one way i know to solve this which worked for me.
1. flash TWRP/CWM
a)first make sure that you find the rooted md5 firmware for your device.
[this is my 5th post so i cannot add links. so you can always search in xda for other threads regarding your device's rooted md5 so that you can flash using odin.]
b)now flash the rooted md5 using odin
c) flash TWRP/CWM Using odin(i would prefer CWM)
d)then downlaod a custom rom for your device and place it in your sd card.
e)flash it using your recovery
f)now try rebooting and you should go into the new rom
g)now check usb debugging in the settings>about device>touch on build number 7 times>you will see developer options>check usb debugging.
h)now try flashing the original stock firmware using odin
CONGRATS YOU HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF YOUR DEVICE
NOTE:if you still have any problem with booting or if you are stuck in the boot logo try going to recovery and do a factory reset.
if still you have any questions let me know.
