[Q] GT-P5100 softbircked or hardbricked - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had CM10.1-3 stable installed, and everything was perfect, then I turned on the native encryption, the tablet started to acted slow but working, one day I woke up and find the tablet will not turn on so here is what I have done
Restarted the tablet, entered the decryption password and still hanged
Restarted the tablet again and then it boot loops on Samsung galax tab 2 10.1 screen
Restarted again and it will not boot at all
No recovery
I can access download mode
So I did try to reflash CWM 6.0.2 again with heimdall and it failed
All I got was "Firmware error occurred while updating please use kies the phone ! computer screen"
No other mode is working
Got Stock rom 4.2.2 tired with odin finishes but still reboot is black screen
Got esspreso_16G PIT file repartitioned and reinstalled the stock rom still no booting
Using heimdall repartitioned with resspreso PIT file from 201202 and I got DOWNLOAD MODE AGAIN !
Try to install orignal rom or CWM brick again
Using heimdall repartitioned and installed stock kernel only and x-loder
So currently it is charging and have DOWNLOAD MODE stating count of customes and kernel of SMASUNG_OFFICAL
My question is, is this software brick or hardware ? and how I can get the tablet up and running again using ODIN or Heimdall ?
Thank You

I am not sure, but what i would try:
Try Odin, flash Stockrom - uncheck "Auto-Reboot" !
When Odin finished directly boot into recovery from downloadmode.
Make a factory reset if recovery booted.
Reboot device.

Did try that, Odin 3.07 or something keeps flushing everything but the download mode on the tablet froze on 25% of the blue bar. then I get again error will firmware update, so I add again to heimdall and repartitioned and tried to flash the rom part by part starting with MLO as X-Loader and it told me successful with no reboot, tried to flash factorysysfs also stuck at 28% with heimdall, had to do reboot of the device, now the device is just blank black, no download mode, or the emergency firmware update via kies screen "phone ! computer" no idea what should I do :s it seems dead.

Why are you flashing pit-files all the time????? these files can difenitly dangerous and can kill your tab with a breeze if not used with care ....
you can´t do nothing with odin or heimdall if you don´t have downloadmode or "Black screen of death" ("Firmware error occurred while updating (...)")...
good luck

It was the only way to get back to DownloadMode is by flashing PIT file, however I managed to flash orginal Kenerl back at that time and I did manage to flash X-Loder seems that what bricked the tablet, Now when I am connected to the PC I can see OMAP4430 driver, Some saying I need to use JTAG "RIFF BOX" or maybe OMAPFlasher but I am not sure if this the correct step or not, what really bothers me that when I had DownloadMode odin will not finish more than 28% of the rom. what do you think should I use OMAPFlasher ? and if there any guide to do so ? I just need the tablet to have bootloader and Kernel so I can flash back with Odin.

try holding power and vol+ for at least 10 seconds, and keep holding it. or try power and volume down for 10+ seconds.
should attempt to get you into recovery or download mode.

thanks for the reply
i can go to the recovery mode and download mode..i already flash my tab in download mode and wipe data in recovery mode.but the problem still there
so what should i do?
see if you can get an adb log, you could also try Samsung Kies (2.0) It may have trouble finding device/ installing drivers; you might want to connect it in download mode. There are emergency recovery options in Kies I think, but its probably same thing as Odin. Are you sure that is the correct firmware for your device? are you familiar with Odin? possible bad flash/disconnected?/bad cable?
i recommend try flashing whatever firmware you originally had. a full stock one with .pit file would be ideal.
try sammobile.com/firmwares

Try this instructions carefully. It works for any samsung phones:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27043121&postcount=9
but in step 3, when it says if you weren't in GB, don't worry about it. What it is, if you change version of android (i.e. from Honeycomb to ICS and vice versa), than you need to include pitfile and repartition, as well as flashing dbdata.rfs.
Thanks buddy
I will try as u suggested
and will come back soon after flashing
thanks
still same problem please help
i tried flashing as u suggested and successfully compleated but still restarting only 1 thing improved that is now am able to switch off my tab
please guys help me dnt wanna loose my tab
and 1 more thing in odeen, where i can put dbdata file
please help
You can flash dbdata on pda field as well. Make sure you use the correct file. Before you proceed with it, can you go to recovery mode and do factory wipe? Let me know if you got any mounting error message or not after wipe.
Nore: if you need a pitfile, you can download this:

Any solution yet? My device suddenly acting the same way when I doing Factory Reset in cmw recovery. I've try doing reflashing via odin to xxkl7 and dxkl3 with no lock, im still stuck bootlooping on first splash screen.
Something I found is that if Im flashing the rom using heimdall, it always failed on flashing the cache, with a message saying that heimdall being crash. Any advice?
continue holding vol up and power through 2 reboots, you should get recovery mode.
My device also experiences similar symptoms when formating /data. Perhaps the file system is corrupt or mild superbrickbug.
Anyways what I usually do Is Odin back to stock, when it passes it hangs at boot, reboot to recovery and factory reset/ wipe data. Should boot now.
For /cache issue. try the first step I mentioned to get into recovery and wipe /cache, actually format it too, if you have CWM Recovery. Wipe dalvik and factory reset too. Then I would try Odin to stock. And again wipe /data if stock Odin doesnt boot.
good luck.

[Q] Please Help Me: Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

I have Samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 UK model. so after 6 months i rooted it through odin and used to install some rooted apps. from playstore i installed an app and after that the tablet suddenly restarted and stucked on the logo "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" after that i restarted it in odin mode but nothing happens. some time recovery mode for wiping data but nothing happened. NOte: clockworkmod recovery mode doesnt opens just simple recovery mode. and now that also recovery mode also not opening just odin mode. So please guyz tell me have i bricked my device or its hardware isssue or software or it can be repaired please please help me.
od:n node is a good sign. just-find a stock image and flash with odin.
Thanks: BUt
thanks alot. please tell me that is unrooting method?
No, thats not the unrooting method.
Best idea is to flash a stock rom, re-root, then run triangle away to reset flash counter and status's. Then use Mobile ODIN pro to flash a stock rom, make sure if you want to go stock that you untick the everroot options and re-install mobile ODIN options, then also tick wipe cache\data and wipe dalvik cache. This will wipe EVERYTHING off your internal memory so make sure you have backed up everything that you want to keep.
You now have a factory reset stock phone. No flash count, ALL status's back to "Official".
done
i have done the first method flashed 4.1.2 through odin and thanks alot it worked. now i want to install AOKP i like it so for this is should reroot my phone and flash it through odin and cwm not working on my tablet. thanks to all of you

If you're using PC odin you need to go to download mode 1st - from power off hold down lower volume and power button until the "warning" comes on the screen. press up volume and you get to download mode.
Connect the tab to the PC with USB and run ODIN. It will light up one of the com ports with "Com 0" Or something displayed. Make sure you DON'tT have Kies active or it won't work. It must be exited from or uninstalled. Also don't have another samsung phone/tab attached or it will pick this up too...
Shouldn't do anything but if it does detect, it is a shock when "FAIL" shows up, especially if you're not sure already... You might do something stupid like disconnect the tab in the middle of a flash...

Please help read this!

Do you mean Stock Recovery still there?
If yes: uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin and flash the recovery again. When Odin finished flashing, wait 1 Minute to be sure. Now DIRECTLY boot from Download-Mode into Recovery! Don´t boot the System!

@danger2u
If KIES installed, please kill KIES and every KIES and Samsung Process running in background!
Run Odin as Administrator.
Uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in Odin, also make sure "re-partition" UNCHECKED!
Add the recovery.tar.md5 as PDA.
Boot into Download-Mode and connect it to your PC - Odin will show "Added!"
Now Press Start.
When Odin finished flashing: wait 1 minute.
Now press Power-Button & Volume UP at the Same time! Keep them pressing!
When you see the Samsung Logo, stop pressing the Power-Button but KEEP PRESSING the Volume UP button for 5 Seconds.
It´s all about timeing. Also make sure you are using the right recovery for your device!
Btw.:
What error are you getting exactly in Stock Recovery?
Can you still boot your Rom (even if it reboots)?
Edit:
Else you can try flashing the recovery.img using Heimdall (you can extract the recovery.img from the *.tar.md5 using 7-ZIP) - but don´t ask me for instructions on Heimdall it´s different from Odin - but as i read it seems to be safer.

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.
That's what I tryed first but it didn't work,

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.
What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.
---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------
Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.
This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.
Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.

well tryed everything all it does is vibrate 2 times. same as be4 im dead in the water. i don't know what's wrong or what to do.
I have tryed everything i can think of.
I can boot to download mode and flash anything i want but nothing works.
no recovery. no rom.

tried to install a 6.0.1 rom and ****ed up my phone so bad.

downloaded twrp 3, was running 5.1.1 on my phone and rooted it. tried to flash a rom and got stuck in a bootloop, now I cant boot into twrp, or anything for that matter. All i can do is hold volume down and power and home and try to ODIN a new bootloader or such and it just fails. what do i do? but when I try to boot into TWRP it goes into a blueish screen with a White exclamation mark saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I tried to do that but it didnt even recognize the device. At this point i dont care about the data, I just need a working device
Okay, so I attempted to unroot and flash the stock 5.0.2 software and I got a error on the download screen. It says SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3. BINARY: 1.
If you have no knox install MM official then flash this kernel tar file (AP) https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B40ItdHKfkyQcTA5bnRPWDg0X28&usp=drive_web#list it will boot to mm 5min :good:
Btw you cann downgrade from 5.1.1 to 5.0.1 you just go up not down

Happened to me a lot of times in the past few days trying to get MM, for some weird reason flashing Unikernel always works for me (takes me to recovery screen after, then i select 'reboot now'), and all my data, apps etc are still there

will try and update. thank you. didnt work.
Okay guys so now I need a ROM to flash using ODIN. I tried to download from sammobile but the speeds are too damn slow. What I tried to flash was this file " G920TUVU1AOCG_G920TTMB1AOCG_G920TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5 " and i got the error 3 to 1.
Download Samfirm from here, XDA itself.
Run samfirm, enter model as G920F and your region code.
It will download from Samsung servers, so high speed.
Now flash using Odin the downloaded file by putting the phone in download mode, (vol down+home+power on).
How did it happen?
Did you try to flash the VOD 6.0.1 and got stuck towards the end at hidden.IMG failing the process?
If yes, then its a two minute job. Just open the 6.0.1 tar archive and look for hidden.IMG extract it anywhere and rename it from "hidden.img" to "hidden.img.tar".
Note flash this hidden.img.tar as AP in download mode, your phone should boot.
