[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Bootloop - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Please help. I have been running CM10.1 on my rooted tablet and I decided to try CM11. I don't know what I have done but CM11 did not work so I tried to go back to CM10.1, and that just gets stuck on the boot screen. I have tried several different Roms and they all get stuck on the boot screen. The only Rom that will work is CM9.1? I don't know what I could have done to cause this. I am running Philz Touch 6.12.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think you need to replace your recovery twrp. Because I replace CM10 or CM11 works fine

Make sure you did a factory reset and format /system before.

I'm not sure. I don't think so.
I also noticed when in recovery it says "E: unable to mount '/efs'"

Your EFS seems to be broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system....
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.

Yeah. That makes sense as I did put a version of CWM touch on. And the trouble started after that. Just need to try and find a solution to sort it now. Thanks for your help

Latest CWM Touch for our Device 6.0.2.7 ... i am sure you used a file for a different device and that broke your EFS!
Do you still have the file? you can upload it for me and send me a private message with the link, i can take a look on it. Please don't post the file here in the thread (i do not like to see someone else flashing it and breaking his efs).

SM-T210 galaxy tab 3 Recovery

Here is a new thread for recovery.
Summon. We have tried to flash nordic recovery, but no luck. Cant get the thing to boot into recovery.
The only file that got the job done was T210_SAMSUNG_RECOVERY_SUPERSU-1.55_BUSYBOX-1.22.0.tar But it had navigation problems, and i got an E:Error in /cache/recovery/uroot.zip ???
(status 7)
Tried the modified and tried 2 nordic versions, but it stil wont boot in to recovery. It just says galaxy tab 2 two times, and goes off again.
here is the recovery file i took from the original firmware. Its an NEE version, but i think we can get the uk to work to..

I am beginning to think your recovery partition may be corrupt.
Can you give me the link to the full firmware that you flashed to try and restore your recovery to a working condition?
I was speaking more of a official thread for the recovery, with steps on how to do it etc, it seems to work for everyone (except you )

Ok, that's what I figured.
Just so we are on the same page:
You did flash the full firmware and try to boot recovery before flashing anything else?
If that full firmware flash doesn't fix your recovery, then I don't think any recovery is going to work for your device.

Now. I have tried a lot of things. But here is what works. Use jamesons prerootet firmware, then flash recovery, then instal quick book from play store. then flash universial root, and the conclusion must be, that there is still no root and working recovery for stock firmware.. :victory:

[Resolved] S4 stuck in boot screen (I have access to recovery mode)

Hello guys, my rooted S4 I9500 is stuck at boot screen. I tried to flash liquid smooth but it failed, but I still have access to recovery mode though, I did factory reset/wipe data but the problem still persists. I'm kind of new to this, can anyone help me? Is my phone fixable or is just bricked for good?
Thanks.

If I ever find that stock ROM I'll stil download it though.

the CWM version of this particular recovery is 6.0.3.1.. Is this a problem? and if it's recovery's problem what can i do about it? if i flash a stock rom the recovery will not be erased.

hmmm well i dont know what to say to that but thats what i have heard with kit kat roms, i have looked on CWMs website and almost all of the galaxys s3s (discluding the s3 mini and international i think) have 6.0.4.X so i would try the specific one for you on Rom manager when you get a rom Working.
I Just installed HellKat 4.4 on my galaxy S3.
The only way this would work is to get my CWM to 6.0.4 just like Trozzul suggested.
The way I did it is to find ODIN pro/lite (MobileODINLite-v4.00.apk)
Then use that to install the CWM.img.
The HellKat 4.4 would not install with CWM 6.0.1
Hope this helps

If you can get into CWM can't you flash a different recovery, maybe TWRP, then flash a good ROM? I'm a fan of the OMNIROM Kit Kat 4.4.2, but there's lots to choose from.
I had trouble installing ROMs from CWM, but all that resolved with TWRP. I used 2.7.0.1 of TWRP, by the way.
Good luck, and report back.
Marc
Update to latest twrp (I prefer philz advanced recovery, myself) and try flashing again.
Oh, and if possible use a different ROM file as your download may have been corrupted.

Just download latest TWRP from Android Andi here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47970089 flash it thru your CWM, reboot into your new recovery, wipe system and flash a different ROM. Make sure you re-download whatever ROM you are going to use because as previously stated you may have gotten a bad download.

Read my last post. Use a different ROM then. There are plenty to choose from.
To be clear what you need to do is use the CWM you have to install A DIFFERENT recovery, one more compatible with a lot of the current custom ROMs. I have used TWRP so for example:
1. Boot to CWM with TWRP package on your microSD
2. Flash TWRP
3. Reboot into recovery... CWM will be gone and you will have TWRP instead
4. In Twrp Wipe caches and format system
5. Still In Twrp, Flash ROM of your choice from ROM downloaded onto your microsd
6. Reboot system and give it time.
Let us know how it goes!
Thank you everyone
Thank You Thanx a lot for helping me guys
I downloaded TWRP n then downloaded the latest version of OMNI Rom and it worked
Thnak u soo much guys

Hey after i installed Omnirom i think i lost my Root Access

Glad you got your system to boot omnirom! You may need to re root the device... Others here can help you get that done, as I'm no expert.

Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535083and use the Philz recovery link for your device. Once finished you can reflash your existing TWRP zip you used earlier to regain TWRP recovery if thats what you want. Or you can just leave as is and have Philz recovery as that is a very good one as well. Your choice.
You could also use the SuperSu link from here http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and just flash that. I believe that will work just the same. I havent, but have heard it works as well
