Tab 2 gt-p3113 stuck in bootloop - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi..I was disappointed with performance on 4.2.2, and decided to flash back via odin to 4.1.1. I forgot to go into recovery and wipe data first, and now, after the update, it boots to the android with the symbol spinning above it, and the progress bar goes so far and stops. After a while, it goes to the samsung screen and bootloops there. I cannot access recovery, holding volume up and power just keeps going to the android with the spinning symbol again, and the progress bar. Can't see it in adb now either. Anybody have some suggestions?

Are you sure you flashed the correct tar? Try getting into down load mode and flash again. Just hold volĂ· and power button it's tricky but you can get into dl from a boot loop holding down power will make it reset and when it first boots let go of power while still holding vol+

I can get into download mode, it is a little tricky but I can. If I knew for sure I had the proper 4.1.1 or even 4.0.4, I would be better off. The file was the XAR version, which my download mode said in the bottom corner. And it allegedly was the 4.1.1 file for the tab 2 7" gt-p3113. If you or anyone has the 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 originals, I'd be very grateful. I'll worry about root later when I get it working!

Got it...had to reflash recovery, then I got it to clear data, and it booted. WHEW!

Cannot boot into recovery

i have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 p3113.
i used heimdall to flash CWM into the tablet.
after what seemed like a succesful flash, my tablet rebooted. but for some reason, it would only go as far as showing the galaxy tab logo. it seems stuck there. i could not turn the unit off. i would hold the power button to force shutdown, but it always starts right back up. it seemed like i could only shut it down if it was connected to my mac while holding down the power button. i can however, boot into download mode.
after consulting google, it seems like the appropriate step was to restore the unit to stock. problem is, i can't seem to boot into recovery. i'm being told by the internet that to boot into recovery, i need to hold [power] and [volume down] until it turns on and then release [power] but keep on holding [volume down] and CWM will load. but nothing happens.
i know this is a total noob post, but i've been scouring the web for two days. i'm at my wits end. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think recovery mode accessed via volume up+power if you could not so use download mode to flash stock or so to return to normal operation

I press the power and UP ( button next to the power button) I normally hold BOTH buttons down at once and let the boot cycle process twice just to make sure i am going into recovery .....so i see the white samsung text twice i mean. It may take around 10 seconds to complete the process. Then release BOTH keys at once.
The battery needs a good charge for it to work.. Try charging over night before you try it via the mains supply.
Holding the power button and down will bring you into download mode and thats what you use for an odin/heimdall flash.
Hope that works for you
Let us know how you get on .....
Thanks. The battery of the gtab2 drained overnight, so i've got it charging back up now. Will definitely post my results when i have something.
Thank you guys. I'm able to boot into recovery now.
But unfortunately, i still need a little guidance on my original problem. And that problem being that my gtab2 will not startup. After rebooting, it gets stuck on the logo screen. It also plays a startup audio clip. But after that, it just displays the startup logo screen. It does not go into the animation screen and start.
I should also mention that when i plug my gtab2 into my computer, no drives show up.
My question now is, if i were to select [wipe data/factory reset] in CWM, would this restore my gtab2 to it's original factory state? Or would I need to flash a ROM for this? And if i need to flash a ROM, could i place a ROM on a microsd card and flash from there?
*********UPDATE*************
Everything is fine (so far).
I went poking around CWM and realized that I had put a cyanogenmod 9 update.zip in the root of the internal sd card before all this happened. So i went back to cyanogenmods wiki on how to install it on my gtab2 and followed the rest of the instructions on flashing it and VOILA!! I have my gtab2 back.
you should use ODIN instead CWM.
CWM is not designed specifically for Gtab2.

Unable to boot GT-P6200 in recovery mode

Hi
I cannot get my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (GT-P6200) to boot in recovery mode.
I tried the following:
1) Switch off the Tab.
2) Press the Power + Volume Up buttons simultaneously until I see the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" screen, then release the Power button and keep pressing the Volume Up button. The tab then get's stuck on the Samsung screen, even if I release the Volume Up button. It stays on this screen indefinitely, only option is to reboot by keeping the power button pressed for 5 seconds.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
same issue
I am having the same issue as well. My tab gets stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" screen and does not move on from that. When i try to boot in recovery mode the screen is just black and slightly illuminated. Please help

Same problem
any help ???
On which verison thar ur on???? have u tried to wiping data in stock recovery
??
same problem I'm having with my Samsung Gt-p6200, it just boot-loops to the "samsung galaxy tab 7.0" boot loading screen and hangs.. these happened after i flashed my firmware from stock honeycomb to jellybean(the austria firmware, i think that's been posted in this forum).
here's what happened before the problem:
-I flash the stock honeycomb firmware with the jellybean one that i found here..
-after i flashed using ODIN, the new firmware works great, i was even informed that i have free 50GB worth of dropbox space,
the file was named P6200XXMC3_P6200OXAMC3_ATO
- I have used it for a day, until the battery drains and i have to charge, but when i opened it again, it already does this "boot loop" problem
- i have tried flashing CWM with ODIN(as i've read here somewhere that it might help) and do that wipe cache and factory reset thing but that didnt help solved the problem.
hope anyone could help me, im also thinking flashing it back to it's original stock firmware but I dont have a backup of that and I dont know where to get one, I've been searching the net for two days for that stock rom but all i found are the new jellybean ones and some old ones but is uploaded to hotfile which is now deleted or locked.
I hope you guys could help me out and thanks in advance!

Hello guys! Im also having this same issue.
*Using the same firmware that was posted here in xda because i was having trouble downloading those official jellybean firmwares
*The battery got drained
then if i charge it, it will remain in a "blank slightly illuminated screen"
* after a few munutes, the tab gets really warm.
*but if i dont charge it, it will get drained again because it keeps on turning on itself back to this time to the "galaxy tab plus screen"
I cant access recovery mode.
I can access odin mode and can flash successfully with cwm or the same firmware back but the problem still persist.
I havent tried other firmwares though.
4 days passed already and i cant figure this out
Please help
So I had this happen to me yesterday, where it rebooted randomly on me, only to freeze on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus screen. I had custom recovery (TWRP) don't know if that matters, but I was able to access it by holding Power+UpVol but keep it held. It would freeze on the same spot but since I was still holding the keys it reboots a second time and this time it would go into recovery.
I then wipes cache and dalvik, no go. Sadly did a full wipe. Still no going past the tab plus text. So I flash MF1 official 4.1.2 firmware (I was previously on 4.1.2 UK official) still no go. Put in latest 2.8 TWRP and booted into it still with some trouble as I mentioned above. Did another wipe and it then hung on blank screen or so I thought. Took a long time to boot and after a long time, and the Android is upgrading message, by some weird chance I was on the MF1 official rom but all my apps settings everything was saved.
Working 100% now and I still don't really know what the hell happened. But if this helps anyone then all the better!
My samsung p6200 is woking almost fine but i am not able to go into the download mode when i press volume down button and power the screen is at samsung logo it stays for a while and then it restarts from there,its the stock rom that's messd up i belive any help how to go into downlod mose other way would b apriciated

Power button Failure, Can't go into Recovery, Download.

My power button decides to become unresponsive.
So I tried to unroot my phone and bring it back to a stock image and when I go into download mode, 2 seconds later, it turns off. :crying:
I try another method by using mobile odin to see if that helps. Tried to flash the stock image and it tried to reboot to Recovery mode. Nothing. It stays in a black screen after the samsung galaxy s3 logo. After pulling the battery, it tries to reboot to recovery again and still, a black screen. The only way to stop it from booting to recovery is to set it back to download mode. I hold the power button and it restarts. ( The power button seems to work when I try to go to recovery, download, power on.
I am running Cleanrom 6.0 R2.
I am in deep [email protected]#!. I do not want to go to verizon and notice my phone is rooted and I can't fix it without a huge bill.
Please help if possible

Relay Wont Boot Into Recovery Mode

My Relay wont boot into recovery mode. Whenever I hold the Volume-Up + Home + Power, it turns on then it says on the top left corner a small blue colored message saying "RECOVERY BOOTING..." and then it goes to the "Galaxy S Relay from T-Mobile" screen and then black screen. Nothing happens, it doesnt boot into recovery but it can turn on and function well with the OTA Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update as well as boot into Download mode. I have rooted it before when It was still ICS 4.0.4 and I guess I didnt unroot it correctly.
A couple of days ago, I heard about the Jelly Bean update, which I wanted, so I used Kies to update. I connected my phone while in Download mode and Kies did its thing and my phone was unrooted when it booted up and had Jelly Bean. It worked perfectly, but it couldnt boot into recovery mode. I dont think it's a huge problem to not boot into recovery, but to me, I feel safer having it.
Is there a way to fix this using just Samsung Kies? Is there a way to flash that recovery or something using Odin? If so, where can I find it and how do I do it?
Thanks in advance!

dear OP why cant you learn the rules?
Were you able to apply the OTA update with "no recovery"? It sounds like you might have stock and your screen doesn't work in recovery, or perhaps you're recovery is just plain broken. Either way, reflashing recovery with heimdall or odin might do the trick.
This question belongs in Q and A or general, not development.
I was rooted with cwm as my recovery and tried to unroot yesterday. I uninstalled Superuser and factory reset. Apparently, I "unrooted" wrong. Then I applied the OTA via Kies. I think my recovery is just plain broken. Where can I find and download the recovery for the Relay? And how do I flash it?

This is not in the right place, the other thread is.
Don't make multiple threads in the same place of the same topic. That's called spamming

As soon as you see the blue letters for recovery booting, take your fingers off all the buttons. It will then go to recovery. I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. If you continue holding the buttons, it will do what you described.

Wow. Thank you so much! Before, I would have to hold the buttons until the actual recovery menu comes up. I didn't know you just had to hold it until the blue letters came up. Once again, thank you very much!

My phone is currently NOT rooted. I attempted to root it when I first got it and almost bricked it so when I got it back to working I just left it. I've had my phone over a year and have recently over the past few months had issues with the charging port and batteries even holding a charge. Bought extended life slim batteries and a charger due to that issue. Then just yesterday I was using facebook on my phone and it randomly rebooted and wouldn't stop boot looping. Only way I've stopped it thus far is to take out the battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

stock firmware has caused boot to hang

hi all,
I recently returned my tab 2 7.0 (3110) to stock firmware from sammobile, after reading a few tutorials and experience of flashing a few devices i downloaded the firmware, extracted and flashed through odin 1.85, everything went ok and the device rebooted.
the device starts up, makes the standard sound and shows the boot logo.but it just keeps cycling the boot logo.
i cant seem to get the device into any mode, recovery or download, it just ignores all vol up and down presses and continues to boot.
any help you can offer is appreciated.
If i can get anything to work in the mean time, i will update.
Have you tried holding those buttons for 10 seconds?
Hold the buttons until the screen turns off.
Resolved now had to let the battery run out, plugged the charger in then managed to get into the e3 recovery, did a factory reset and it booted fine.
