[Q] tab 2 7.0 P3110 stuck at Samsung Tab 2 7.0 screen unable to boot to recovery

Please can you help I bought this samsung tab 2 7.0 P3110 with it only powering on to the samsung tab 2 7.0 logo screen.
I am unable to get to recovery screen using the power and the vol up button all this does is power it off even if I hold for over one minute.
I can get to the download screen (power and vol down doing so is easy as it works) I have been able to use odin (failed many times) and download firmwares.
Last night I was able to download and gain a pass in Odin for CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi-espressowifixx-gtp3110 this I ran fist then 4.1.1 P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU. the problem after that is when odin tells it to reboot it hangs at the logo screen everytime. I have tried without the reboot and reboot manually it staill hangs.
is it a bootloader problem? corrupted partition? I think it needs the whole boot process reinstalled or rewritten if someone knows how
I am not looking for a custom rom All i want it to do is to power on into the stock recovery and to power on into the sofware by using something that works either by reformat or re partition the tab to get that part of the tab working before looking at firmware. sometime I have seen write fail when in odin.
simple instructions for how to get it back is all I am looking for.
I have browsed your site and watched youtube for hours no light at the end of the tunnel
thanks in advance for your help

I am not too sure about the partition/repartition thing, but I think you should use said Odin to flash CWM 6.0.45. It doesn't mean you have to install a ROM, but try attempting a factory reset (at this point, not being able to boot up, you might need to use Cwm to create some sort of backup).
However, I suggest waiting until you receive more than one reply, as I may be wrong

For going into recovery, try holding the buttons at the same time. When you see the first samsung bootscreen, release the power button and continue to hold the other button.

Thanks for your reply I probably didnt explain myself. I have always been holding down the power and the vol up button at the same time.
I have access to another tab 2 7.0 P3110 that is working in stock mode (a trusted friend allowed me to check how to get to the download and recovery screens ) I have noted the time it takes to boot into recovery from power off and from the samsung tab 2 7.0 screen and also going into recovery from the download screen. mine dont do any it just goes to the download screen or power off. the screen is black no life lol.
just a thought I dont think it actually powers off although the screen is black because I left it for over 10 hours I felt the back and it was warm battery was low as I couldnt power it on it was fully charged when I tried to get into recovery 10 hours earlier.
will try to explain one step at a time
because of the problem I am thinking I have to start from scratch instead of jumping into the middle of what is already possibly corrupt files. (I have probably built a house out of my bricked Tab)
1. what do I have to do to get a totally clean 8gb space for recovery and firmware to go onto?
2. what has to be installed via Odin to get to recovery (can recovery be tested on its own before the firmware is installed)
3. I have tried a PIT file before all I had was 0 completed and 0 failed???? is that good or bad? didnt see a PASS at the top left. did I have the correct PIT file?
4. are PIT files dependant on which version of Odin I run or recovery or firmware? if they are can someone point my in the right direction for everything that is compatible with each other
I read on this forum of splitting the MD5 files into bootloader pit by extracting it twice I tried that in winRAR I only had one chance it left a tar.md5 file which is the file I used to upload in Odin.
Thanks again for everyones help

2. You need to install Clockwork Mod Recovery version 6.0.4.5. It can be found in the development forum, made by Android-Andi
As for the rest, I'm not familiar

I have tried the above it passes and reboots to samsung tab 2 7.0 and thats as far as it goes. I waited 15 minutes no change tried the usual to get into recovery not happening. went back to download screen and ran gtab2P311x8g.pit below is a snippet of the important bits from Odin output screen bottom left I had auto reboot, repartition and f reset time all selected
set pit file
get pit for mapping
theres no pit for mapping
all threads completed succeed 0 failed 1
I have also ran philz touch 6.008 universal root also pass with reboot and without reboot
all tar md5 files installs and with a pass reboots but no blue bar on the bottom of download screen and no access to recovery screen.
I think the internal 8gb memory needs to be wiped and partitioned.
maybe someone can tell me how to extract all the files that are needed to get the os onto the tab from the tar md5 file like the partition, recovery and bootloader etc and the order of installing in Odin

Am now running with Odin 3.07 and CF Auto Root espressowifi....md5
it all run through with pass at the end. It doesnt show the blue line running across the bottom of the download screen on the tab. I have never seen this in all the 20 + times I have tried with Odin. All the you tube vids show this as part of the installation process. If I have auto reboot on the tab reboots when Odin send the request to the tab to reset.

ADB devices does not attach itself to the tab. ADB just says its waiting for device when in download mode and fastboot returns nothing. I think its because I am unable to run USB debugging due to no firmware.
Is there a way to get into the tab if theres no os?
I have taken the back off thinking the volume or power key might be faulty, there not. Pressing the power button and the up vol does nothing apart from putting the tab in a reboot loop or power off. I can get into download mode no prob. I have tried pressing the up and down vol keys with the power button to try to put the tab into shock no change.

I was searching the forum for a similar problem as mine.
And you have the exact same problem as I do.
At some point when I used Odin 3.07 and flashing an official firmware from samsung I got past the first boot screen.
But right after that it shows an android robot with a dedacahedron in front of it showing an animation and a loading bar.
Soon I discovered the next loop, since this animation would loop over and over again.
Now I waited for the battery to run out and charge it up till its full.
By the way:
When the tablet is off and I plug it in with the original cable and charger the tablet shows the battery icon, but it doesnt show the charging animation. The battery icon shows a "waiting" circle. So I cant really see if its charging or not.
Have you had any progress?
Would be so awesome to fix this, this galaxy tab is not mine. Its my brothers and I broke it by trying to root it and install cwm xD

Eureka
Dude I totally got into recovery mode.
I downloaded CWM (clockwordmod) 6.0.1.1 SuperSU 0.96 Busybox 1.2.0.2 md5 file.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880010
In the first post there are attached files.
The right one is in that list.
Then I tried flashing it with Odin3 Version 3.09
I googled for a newer version of Odin and found this version 3.09
First time rebooting didnt work.
But the seccond time I succesfully got into CWM recovery.
Hope this works for you 2!
Cheers.

Thanks for the detailed guide and everyone's responses.. I was SOL also and re-flashing CWM helped get me back to where I can flash again.

[Q] GT-P3100 is restarting by itself and not rooting when tried

hello all,
I am having a samsung galaxy tab 2 gt-p3100 and it is out of warranty now. It was working fine till the day when my cousin installed a game of almost 2 GB size (fifa, also i dont know whether the problem is due to game or not). after the game was launched tab showed restarting issues. It is restarting again and again by itself even when I am not using it. I decided to factory reset it but it didn't worked. I tried hard reset also and again it was not working. All apps data were present there even after reset, nothing was changed.
I did some research on android forums and XDA and found that installing custom ROM can solve this issue else I have to get my motherboard replaced.
I started with rooting and installing CWM recovery on my device. I did the process using a video tutorial and used the files mentioned in it from XDA. the files name is :
"P3100_CWM_RECOVERY-6.0.1.3_SUPERSU-0.96_BUSYBOX-1.20.2.tar.md5"
My odin message box displays below messages. :
............
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..
<ID:0/007> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/007> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/007> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
(Before showing PASS messages. odin showed me RESET message and it was only when tab restarted it showed me PASS)
This shows that process is completed and my device should be rooted. But when I checked there was not Superuser installed and no custom recovery was seen when recovery mode was started.
Also, tab when started shows error messages like "gapps stopped working", "gmail stopped working". In short, all the google apps were displaying these kind of messages.
Please help!!! and suggest me how should I proceed to try custom ROM.

Have you checked root access using any app? If no then do check it.
---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------
And can you boot into recovery? Volume up+ power button?

i tried booting the device into recovery mode using volume up and power button but itt shows android recovery mode.
Also, i tried installing the application to test for root but tab won't allow the installation to finish. It restarts in between so cant check using apps.

File which i mentioned in above description is for rooting as well as cwm recovery (it was shown in the video as such) so it should complete both processes. But for me it seems none is completed.

Yes i tried that option too but the installatiin was failing in between.
For once, i took my tab to samsung service centers too, they too tried to flash rom using odin (i was able to see there working on pc) but there process was also giving the same result - fail.
I am having a doubt, should my device be rooted to install cwm recovery or this recovery is required to root the device as i am planning to again perform these processes individually using other tutorials individual for both.
I hope this helps.

Maybe you have got the famous trim bug,I think you should use the superuser zip method to root your device,the one without recovery included,
Then try flashing the recovery,

I have already tried to flash stock rom from sammobile and as i have already mentioned, same process was also tried by engineer at samsung service center and the process failed. In all, that process is almost tried on this tab for 5-6 times but with same result.
I also noticed one thing that this tab is stuck at one particular state. No mattwr what i do with it, it comes back to same home screen and without any changes. For example, if i start my tab and uninstall some application and change the view of home screen and then if the tab restarts, it will be back to previous state i.e. no apps unonstalled and home sceen will also b back to previous state. All changes are reverted back.

I have the same problem as yours. Tried to flash the stock rom, wiped the device thru the android recovery, every thing fails. If there is anyone with the solution, let me know.

I have the same problem with a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100.

I have the exact same problem to P5100. No solution yet, still reading everywhere.

GT N8000 Bricked Urgent Help

OK, Ive been without my note for a whole day and been researching wht to do nonstop
What happened to me was that, since i had updated to official kitkat, i soon developed a taste for lollipop, and went on to try out different ROMs and finally settled on to crDroid
So it was one of those days where everything was going well until the note stopped opening apps for like a minute then showd a black screen and then all of a sudden restarted
Since this was a Sammy i thought it would get back up again.... But no, even a 5 minute didnt wake this beast up, it remained stuck at the boot logo, i.e, Samasung Galaxy Note 10.1
Im like ok ill go on do a factory reset and wipe cache and all, upon trying to accesss the recovery after the boot logo the recovery kinda opens then gets back at boot logo, a black screen shows up then turns on to be a full brightness black screen for a sec then goes back
I can access the download mode and can odin things but they fail every single time.
I have tried to odin a recovery and a stock recovery so far and they show a nand write error
i also have tried to PIT but they get stuck at get PIT for mapping
I have also tried all versions of odin tried changing a USB Port and the wire with no success
So is there any hope for my NOTE??
Please i need help its urgent

is it rooted ?
i have the same problem from 2 months and i am finally got that i must replace the motherboard

Sounds like its written its last, flash is dead.

Since you are able to enter in download mode there is hope. Trying to flash recovery which doesn't match the firmware version will always fail. So, try flashing some of the base firmwares which will return everything to stock. I was in your situation few months ago and managed to flash Android Revolution HD 4.4.2 after first flashing stock firmware via odin. I got my 4.4.2 base firmware from "sammobile.com", firmware section (sorry i don't have enough posts for using links).

I remember i tried flashing TWRP for GT N8000 and i also tried Philz then CWM all for GT N8000
I also tried flashing base rom but it gives NAND write fail

Nand write fail can mean damaged PIT or the actual nand memory is damaged and needs a new motherboard .

flash with pit file
found these pit files for the device.
you can flash the pit file for GT-N8000 in odin
don't forget to repartition, it's a very delicate situation, you don't want to mess it up, before going to this, you should confirm if the size are same. you wont like to flash a 16gb to 32gb partition.

same problem for me, this did not work, still write error

I have a similar problem. Everything is stuck. I am tryingo to go back to stock, but if I try to connect (via Odin, Heimdall, fastbot or adb sideload) i can't.
Is there any advice?
Thanks

nope not yet

I'm early ???
So it turned out that my AMAZING tablet had its storage device corrupted... I. E I exceeded the read write count

Similar problem Bricked N8005
I bought my N8005 (variant of N8000 but phone is disabled just data 3G is available) in 2012. I rooted it once and used custom rom for a while but last year installed official stock ROM again. Yesterday I started a game called "zombidle" (possibly this is an unnecessary info) and tablet restarted itself but stuck on "samsung" logo.
I tried to enter recovery mode but it always restarted and cannot enter recovery mode.
Tried to install different versions of CWM, Philz and TWRP recovery using odin but it always FAILed when NANDwrite started. Tried odin 1.85, 1.87, 3.07, 3.09, 3.12 but all same.
I tried to install same stock ROM but always FAILed.
Then I tried to install a custom rom but it failed too.
I read about bad pit files. Searched internet and found some pit files but nothing changed, FAILed at same point.
Did I finished all solutions?
Should I take it to the doctor?
Any sugesstions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Today I took it to the Samsung doctors. They said that; this is a mainboard issue and mainboard needs to be changed. That will be over 400TL (TL=Turkish Lira). Device is still in markets and new N8005 is 1300TL (i think this is also expensive. Because new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T817 32GB 9.7" is 1900TL in my country).
Does it worth to fix? Any opinions? Can I fix it myself somehow?

Nand write fail probable defunct memory.

[Q] Can I root a n8010 stuck in odin bootloop (tried everything else )

Hi all..or anyone out there
I have had the seemingly strange bootloop problem on my stock note N8010...which stuck on the dreaded "samsung galaxy note 10.1" and only has odin feature working. (and no factory reset options because I think the poor old tab is crammed to bursting with apps, files and cache and so had a meltdown) poor thing.
so anyway I check these sites of techie wonder and wisdom and followed every logical option..starting with the simple ones
first ran power down and tried to boot up (x3) with no joy, then take apart the tablet to disconnect / reconnect the battery and boot up (x3) still no change.
So went and got the firmware from samwares (both jelly bean and kitkat) to then flash through odin....tried and failed first because of dodgy cable, but the then got a new one...and joy of joys (at first) odin recognised my tab and the firmware flashed across with pass..but then auto rebooted straight back into the dreaded samsung 10.1 again....so tried different versions of odins... and tried other global n8010 firmware...but funnily and frustratingly then all fully download and pass in odin (and the andoid logo and green download status bar on the tablet seems to shown that downloading is and has fully taken place.... but the darn thing still wont boot up past the samsung galaxy note 10.1
Sadly coming to the ends of my tether (of so many nearly there false hopes, high and lows) and very little cash to send it to the Sami tech bods doesnt help matter....I then read and tried the (supposed) last resort pit file/firmware option...first with kitkat (as apparently that worked for someone somewhere) and then tried with jelly bean..again each time itAlways passes in odin.... but auto reboots into the dreaded bootloop logo .... to haunt and torment me.. Aaaaagh!!!!.....I would not mind if it said action failed (for once) like some others seem to experiencet...but it always passes in ODIN????
So.....have come to the semi ignorant conclusion it is either the bootloader section of the tablet or the original software that is messed up or some internal hardware component has a fault.
but was wondering if there is anthing left to try...or would it potentially be possible or worth trying to root a tablet in this condition?
As although I have not ventured into the wild worlds of rooting.....I am now pretty confident of messing with this tablets mind..and have little to lose...so any further ideas and help would be great.

Exact same here. Never flashed, totally stock N8010. My wife hadn't used it for a couple of weeks. So she grabs it again and it was off. booted to nothing but the boot logo. Nothing worked except Download mode.
Flashing stock roms has Odin reporting success, but it still won't boot up. Trying re-Partition does give a fail as soon as I press start.
And we aren't alone. It appears there are quite a few of these cases. I have no idea how to solve this.
I have done a bit of rom flashing on my old galaxy S (the first one) and bootloaders and such usually were included in a ROM. Rooting was done with Recovery or an app and I think it was also possible with adb, IIRC (it's been a while).
It's my wife's Note and she's starting to scope out mini iPads...

Same problem with GT-N8010
I am also having the same problem.
I tried to upload a new ROM via ODIN. All was successful from the ODIN app (PASSED). but stuck on the boot screen. Power and Vol up does not work (it appears to but then crashes out to the boot screen again) so no way to do a hard factory reset.
Volume down/power does work and allows you to get to Odin mode. but as above, uploading a new ROM does not seem to work.
This is an un-rooted GT-N8010 with the stock ROM when I purchased it back in 2013 I believe.
Come on guys, give us some ideas.
Thanks
Gene

Sounds like wrong model firmware flashed as that's the usual bootloop problem .
Try Odin firmware flash wait to passed then remove battery for a short while and replace and try recovery mode .

In my case there is no incompatible firmware issue... The tablet just stopped working one morning and that was that.
Can't comment on the other posters though.

My wife's the same. Never done anything to it. No idea how to remove the battery. I let the battery run down once, then recharged it, made no difference.
That was before trying to flash the new firmware. My Note says N8010 on the back, it says so in the download mode. I got a firmware from SamMobile for the N8010. Don't know what else I can do.

Having same problem here ... tried flashing different firmwares along with PIT file - still no luck ..
stuck on samsung galaxy note screen .. cannot get recovery mode
Any help guys?

Stuck at Boot Logo and no Recovery Mode

Hi all,
So I got soft bricked Samsung Galaxy S6.
Here are the issues:
- The person got it when he tried to root it
- Stuck in boot logo (Samsung S6, Powered by Android) and does not go further
- I can flash original firmware (Vodafone, Australia) through ODIN successfully, but the problem remains
- Cannot access recovery mode, tried to flash both stock recovery and custom (TWRP, all versions available at twrp.me)
- Have tried both Kies3 and SmartSwitch, emergency recovery went smooth, flashed successfully, but the problem remains
- After each successful flashing, I try to boot into recovery mode in order to clear cache, but it does not boot into recovery at all
- Tried all versions of ODIN and used all cables at home
- Another strange behavior, it can power on only when it is connected to cable. So it either stuck or can boot into Download mode when I press combination. But if I disconnect, after some time it switches off and cannot power on unless you connect it to the cable. Does it mean that the person ticked NAND erase as it is also related to energy dependency of the memory? I don't believe it to be battery issues as I saw this issue on another phone too (Samsung A9)
It is weird. I just want to understand, why I am not able to boot into recovery mode even after successful flashing stock ROM?
Any help is appreciated

Hi, I too have similar issue. Would like to know how you got it resolved.

Same issue here, any idea to solve that? (I'm Brazilian, sorry for some typing wrong)
I don't opened the device (yet), but if is a battery issue, someone tried to fix?
My device is SM-G920I, i tried to flash this FW: G920IDVU3FQD1_G920IXSA3FQC3_XSA without sucess, i will try with a "pit" file that i've found here on XDA and update here, but until the moment, the problem remains
Update: The PIT file does not solved the problem, after this I decided to open the device and swap the battery, but the problem remained, i'm buying a new board today, i think this board can't be saved

I've had similar problem with my Note4. It would sucessfuly apply firmware via Odin but refuse to boot. (tried multiple times)
I then did a flash via SmartSwitch (takes forever) but the phone worked again.

any update for this ? i have the same issue

Hi, I've had a rooted android for a couple of years now. Today I wanted to run the new Magisk root so that I could use apps that prevent rooted phones from using them. Following the instructions here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445) I went to SuperSU and clicked 'Wipe Root' which then sent my device into constant bootlooping.
I can only get the blue screen saying 'Odin Mode' and a big down arrow saying 'Downloading... Do not turn off target' or a constant bootlooping.
I followed the instructions here though when I have put the four BL, AP, CP and CSC files and click Start, all that happens is in the log on the left it says: <OSM> All threads completed . (succeed 0/ failed 0). From what I can make out, the Odin software on the laptop is not communicating at all with the Samsung S6 in Download mode.
Could someone please help!

Had to come back and add on to my previous post - I sorted it. It was simply a driver issue... Make sure you download all the correct Samsung USB Drivers people if you're having similar issues...
I finally restored my Android to Stock Android (albeit the latest Android system 7.1).
