GT-P5113 Bricked After Firmware Update? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I apologize if the easy and simple fix to this issue has already been posted, but so far, I've read so many different "solutions"...none of wwhich has worked.
Yesterday, I accepted an OTA update, after which my tablet never booted up again. It will partially boot up, but will get "stuck" on the glowing Samsung logo. It will not proceed any further, and will just sit there on the logo until the battery wears out.
I've been able to get it to the menu to wipe data, etc (holding down the power button and volume up), which I DID, only to have the tablet reboot to the glowing logo and sit there yet again.
I don't know what to do. It doesn't sound like Samsung has a fix for this software problem? Or is there really something wrong with my tablet that I'd have to send it in? Sounds like others who have done this have received their tablets back, "fixed", only to have the same thing happen again when they did the OTA update, OR if they did the update through Kies.
I'm a newbie. I'm not a techie. If there IS a fix for this, can you give me STEP-BY-STEP instructions on what to do? AS if you are talking to a child? haha...thank you so much! I'm SO upset...my tablet was beautiful, and now it's just dead...

And exactly HOW do I "reboot into recovery"? Everytime I push power plus the volume up button, I get to a warning screen that says something about "warning, you are about to change the OS...continue or cancel" I cant get past this to even GET to the menu of "reboot", "wipe data", etc.
HELP!
(Thanks for responding!)

Alright...I did get it into recovery mode, I factory reset it, then hit wipe cache partition. It started the process, THEN I saw "ERROR" flash quickly up on the screen. Then it began to boot up again, and here I am, STUCK ON THE GLOWING LOGO AGAIN.
This didnt work. Anybody else have a different suggestion?

No download mode on phone. Is it gone for good, then?

So, I am running MIUI, which has problems with tethering. I decided to go for the latest value pack released by samsung. As said in the thread, I repartitioned my phone, using latona.pit. Now, I was supposed to reboot and go back to download mode to install any xxkpe rom, to continue with flashing. But, my phone just show a black screen, with no info. Download mode is not working. Odin does not detect the phone either.
Any suggestions? I am trying to reflash the pit file, again to make sure, and scouring over the forums, in the meantime. Let me know, if I am missing something.

Did that. Wasn't working for a couple times, panicked, and posted here. Thought, it might have something to do with that value pack itself, so posted there too. Didn't know, two posts counted as spamming. What a way to encourage participation. Thanks a lot.
Update on issue:
Tried taking out battery and reinserting everything. Multiple restarts, and somehow got odin to detect it. Still no screen for download mode. Tried flashing the firmware, and is stuck in a boot loop now. What next?

Volume Down + Home Key + Power to get to download mode.
I use Odin to flash. I have 3.0 version, which shows blue icon on the com port, the phone is connected to, instead of yellow from older versions. To flash pit, I used the button saying pit to select pit file. Default options, that have auto-reboot, and F. Reset Time enabled. Everything else, is disabled.
Same method for flashing firmware. Only thing, I select pda option instead of pit, while selecting the file. Odin says, pass for both times, that is flashing with pit, and flashing with actual rom.
There is no download screen, one that says "Downloading target", or something like that. Earlier, it was not even getting detected in Odin, which is solved after multiple reboot. After flashing rom, it gets stuck in boot loop.
Not sure, if I should change any option in Odin, so I haven't tried that.
I've encountered such an issue with a couple of ROMs that i tried on my other device(mi-280).
Try flashing the ROM twice then try to reboot. I did clear cache and dalvik cache between 2 flashes(not sure why). Worked for me.

Phone is stuck in boot loop, so can't clear any cache. Rom is stock, so there is no CWM recovery mode. Flashing twice is good idea. Will try it out and post result soon. Also, downloading another rom. This hotfile uploading is a bit of a hit-and-miss for me, as power cuts are way too frequent here. It is possible that rom might be faulty.
Edit:
Same result. Still stuck in boot loop. Flashing twice didn't worked.
Its better to flash xxkpe firmware twice & check whether phone boot properly or not. If everything goes well then flash ddlf2 stock rom.

Downloading the same. Power cut for 3 hours made me stop it earlier. I had xxkpq earlier, which is not working. I thought xxkpq was also an official release, so it should have worked.

[Q] HELP : Phone stuck while flashing via Odin

Hi ,
My phone got stuck/frozen while browsing and no button was responding. I removed the battery and reboot it only to have it stuck at boot screen.
It shows the first screen with model number then as it moves to Samsung boot screen animation it freezes. I used Odin to Flash the ROM.
I tried with these ROMS
I9103XWLA4_I9103DRELA1_I9103NELA1_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and
I9103JPLD1_I9103OJPLD1_I9103XXKJ2_HOME.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the process stops with the following message:
Code:
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'.
successfully applied multi-CSC.
When I reboot again(by removing battery) it stops at the same screen with following message on top
Android system recovery<3e>
reboot system now
apply update..
wipe data/factory reset..
wipe cache...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kindly share your thoughts on how can I fix now.. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
P.S I already flashed via odin from Indian stock rom to XXKJ version mentioned above few months back.
Are you sure you followed this guide properly and did not check on CSC instead of PDA?
about the screen you mentioned is of recovery mode. try entering into download mode and repeat the whole proccess properly (Guide)
yesterday only i flashed this Rom via odin.(although it stuck in between at first trial but succeeded when i tried again) you could give it a try.
if you stuck at samsung logo after flashing follow these steps.

Yes, I did use the guide properly and check on PDA then loaded the md5 file. I will try with the ROM you mentioned. I hope I won't loose any data as I could not create any backup. Also, is my post in the right section or has to be moved to developer section to get more responses..

Yes it is in right section.
you will loose all data (messages,contacts,apps, etc) you wont loose sdcard data (songs, videos, etc).
keep practice of posting screenshot if you face any error. this makes it easy to understand about the error.

But the last time I flashed to GB only, I did not loose any data(contacts, apps, etc). Will flashing to ICS will delete everything? Also I was planning to stick to GB only. And what does the error "Cant access to '/system/csc/INU/system/'." means? Can't I fix the phone by trying to resolve the particular error rather than trying ICS directly ? Guys who faced this type of error please comment your suggestions.
Thanks.
Thanks for your replies and comments.
I have tried both GB and ICS Indian ROMs.
With GB ROM, although I did not get the "can't find the file /system/csc/INU...." but the phone is stuck again after showing "successfully applied multi CSC". The process doesn't go any further with a kind of disabled progress bar under it.
With ICS ROM, I don't notice any such messages but I see a droid with a crystal which stops animating after some time. There was no progress for half an hour after which I removed the battery.
Is my phone having any serious issue. How do I proceed now ??

When I flashed indian ICS the log was as shown in 'Message' box in SS
i have never faced any thing like CSC in log which you are facing. If you are using any odin version other than 1.85 then try 1.85. Also compare the screenshot process with yours.
If you still dont get success then i think you should visit Samsung Service Centre. they will only guide you properly.

Thanks for your reply Nikhil. I am using odin3 v1.85. I just tried to flash with ICS ROM and attached are the screenshots, if you can notice anything going wrong while flashing. Also after the success message the phone rebooted and after two black screens the android animation stops. There was a progress bar indicator initially, which disappeared when screen went black 1st time.
Go to recovery mode and do a factory reset.

Exactly so you can see now there isnt any CSC in logs guess u were doing something wrong!
anyways, now download tar file from here and flash cwm recovery v4.0.0.2 or any other recovery through odin. then perform factory reset. it will boot properly then.
Note:- performing direct factory reset is bit risky. Read what Adam77Root and Disturbed said

Dude,
I was talking about the log on my phone screen. I am attaching the error displayed on my mobile when flashing non Indian ROM's. Before I do any factory reset I would like you all to have a look at the error where the flashing process is hanging.
Update: The second screenshot is the complete process while flashing in odin3. It hangs at this point after showing msg "successfully applied multi-CSC". The difference is if Indian ROM is used, the error "cannot find /system/CSC.." is skipped. In any case the flashing doesn't proceed from this point. If I reboot by removing the battery, the activity is shown in first screen shot. As ICS ROM flashing doesn't show any text msg of what process is going on in phone I have used GB ROM to display the message.
I highly appreciate your comments and need your suggestions as to which way to proceed.
If you got the first screenshot.just do a factory reset as it appears in the screen you have given in the first screen shot.NOTE:try a factory reset in the stock recovery donot flash CWM. It worked for me.

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100 problem, bootloop no recovery

hello to all,
I need your help, I have a galaxy tab P5100 completely original, with stock andorid 4.0.3, yesterday after turning it off, the power back up and goes into bootloop, the screen appears only 2 SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 and restarts.
goes into download mode but does not go into recovery mode.
if I put it in recovery mode appears a few seconds the green robot and then restarts.
I attach it to the power supply and I do recharge to 100%, but nothing.
I put it in download mode and flash the stock firmware but nothing.
if I put it in recovery mode, the green robot takes a few seconds longer with a blue bar below and then restarts.
What do you think can this be? or what can I try?
look forward to your advice!
thank you very much!

As you are able to boot into download mode so first flash a custom recovery like cwm and then.wipe cache partition ,factory reset and dalvik cache and then try flashing stock rom i think this will work

Hello! thanks for the reply!
a curiosity, do you think it is not a hardware problem?
I had thought of this option, but as a last option, because if I put the custom recovery and keeps rebooting lose the warranty right? and I can not restore it right?
try, and I will keep you informed! I hope to solve!

[Q] boot loop on P5110 help

hi all any help would be much appreciated.
ok got a tab2 p5110 last year for my mother-in-law, she`s technophobic but was getting along with android ok.
when about 2 months ago she told me it would no longer work, when i got to have a look at it it seems to be in some sort of loop, the
"Samsung galaxy tab2" logo appears then disappears for a few seconds then re-appears until the battery runs out.
i googled boot loop galaxy tab2 and found this: youtube.com/watch?v=lflnn850jRw[/url]
everything seamed to work, even showing on the odin screen that a custom rom had been flashed, except of coarse that it was still in the boot loop!!!
very annoying, please can anyone help?
Start tab into recovery, power and volume up, navigate to wipe cashe, wipe dalvik cashe, that should get running again.

i can get into odin, but there is no recovery as this is stock,
i`ve tried flashing recovery, says it`s flashed but still in boot loop and no way to get into recovery.
The tab may have lost "root" thats probably why, can't remember if stock recovery can wipe. ?
Try force off, then on into recovery.

I would not mess with pit files unless you flash a wrong rom , but that not being the case try a factory reset by starting tab in stock recovery and selecting "factory reset".
Take a look at this article.

hi looked at link i guess this is my problem:
"Bootloop trouble because recovery
Galaxy tab will booting but stuck at Samsung logo, then the screen goes black and you can see that backlight. Next the screen will completely turn off and galaxy tab start to boot again.
The trouble came from incompatibles recovery or corrupted recovery file."
and this is solution:
"Fix Bootloop trouble because recovery
1. Go to download menu.
2. Using ODIN install stock recovery to Galaxy Tab"
but where do i find stock recovery?
Go to samsung website, look for support, downloads. Look up your model and download firmware. That will include stock recovery.

The PIT file is the partition information table. It tells your phone where different packages go on the phone or tablet, as well as how big partitions are on the phone or tablet.
Using a different version of odin may help also, double check the files you download as to the model.
Copy links to clipboard so they display properly and others can check your informaciĆ³n.

Not sure if this is the site you used but check it out.
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...tXoHOL6fm1pIfIZQg&sig2=1gNMZ287fIyE76XjKI12GA
Navigate to your model number and download.
If you have corrupt partitions its probably causing the boot loop.
Not sure if you can just get a pit file from sammoble, it's usually a complete firmware, but that will have the correct pit file to fix your problem.

update
just to update,
no luck so far, tried both uk roms on sammobile.com with Odin v3.07 v3.06 v3.04 v1.85 v1.83
also tried this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957165&highlight=cf+root
it`s just the same,
looking at odin 3.07 theres a "nand erase all" tick box, is this a reset option?
trying to find out about pit files, could this help me?
battery
i was just wondering is it the battery?
if i unplug it from the charger it will carry on in the boot loop for around half an hour, before it is out of charge.
when i plug it back in to the charger it will show the an empty battery icon then boot into the loop.
when i press the power button and vol/up button to get it into odin it shows the empty battery icon again before going into odin.
could it be that the battery has failed?
and does anyone know if the tablet is supposed to charge in odin?
bump?
anyone?

typically, no charge when connected to computer. Odin or not.

Bootloop problem with new EMUI update

Hello, last night i received the message that my phone needed to update itself to the new firmware so i did that.
When the phone rebooted it just put me onto a black screen with the twrp logo flashing every 5 seconds, i figured out that it was because of me running an old version of twrp and i
flashed it and rebooted and everything worked great but then i tried to root my phone with supersu and the phone switched logo in the boot from the honor logo to the android logo and froze there,
i managed to fix that aswell. Now to the problem i am facing right now, the phone got similar problems again so i attempted a normal factory reset, didn't help so i tried to format data and it removed everything but i am still stuck at the infinite booting loop when i start my phone. Does anyone know how to fix this? I do not have the money to purchase a new one
I have access to adb and twrp just so you know.

When i press the volume up + down and power button it brings me to twrp, i can't manage to get into erecovery mode.
Nvm i got in. However when i get into the mode and press the recovery button it spins until it displays this message "Getting package info failed". Do i have to do it through erecovery?
I do not know another method.
