[Q] Samsung says our GT-P3113 is "dead." Is it? - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Son was playing Words With Friends and this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" GT-P3113 was acting up. Only other recent change was my wife downloaded a Southern Living magazine. The screen went dark blue like it was on but not responsive.
None of the lengthy holding down the Power or Power and Volume Up would ever produce a reboot, only a battery symbol. I did get it into the load an alternate OS screen, but didn't try it.
Took into a Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy and they said it was DEAD. Apologized that this year and a half old unit was done and said that was "probably not what we were expecting as far as lifespan of the unit." Ya think????
Came home, as a complete noob with nothing to lose and downloaded Odin and the files to try and load the recovery. Odin recognized the device and tried to start installing but got to the first step and FAILED. Something about NAND.
So in your opinion is this completely dead or maybe I don't have the right files? If you have current links to the right files please point them out to me. I've spent tons of times find links that are dead.
Thanks!

Does it mean you could reach the download mode? That would mean your Tab is not "dead".... (what kind of guy was that in the service?)
Try to see if you can get into the recovery mode (keep pressed power button & volume up and after Samsung logo appears second time, release the power button and keep the other one still pressed for about 5sec). If you get there, make factory reset and reboot. This will wipe your data....
Or if you can access download mode (power & volume down) turn it on again and download some recent firmware from www.sammobile.com exactly for your Tab model. In such case, reply my post and I will write you how to flash it with Odin.

No logo for reboot, which sammobile files?

Tetakpatak,
Thanks for jumping in!!!
1. That's the thing. We can never get the unit itself to the logo screen using that method, only the battery screen with a little sunshine symbol inside of it and only when the unit is plugged in.
2. I found sammobile before but my search for GT-P3113 produces only Cellular South files. This is a wifi tab only without a carrier. Does that make a difference? Can I use any of the listed files? Should I try each one?
Thanks!!!

No luck with sammobile files yet

tetakpatak, thanks for your help! please see my other reply.
i went ahead and tried one of the sammobile files. guessing as to which one because this is a wifi not cellular tab. when i ran it i got...
>Firmware update start
>SingleDownload
>boot.img
>NAND Write Start!!
>FAIL!
>
>Complete(Write) operation failed.
>All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
Does this mean it is completely dead or do I need to keep trying files from sammobile?
Thanks!!!

Hmmm, it isn't definitely dead, of course. That guy in the service was anyway bit dumb IMO.
With JTAG, man of skills can repair any device, no matter how hard bricked.
Actually to get further, it would help to know if you can reach download mode or recovery mode?

Tried two more from sammobile

Tetakpatak,
Tried two more from sammobile and both failed. Once mentioned NAND and the other did not. I see there is a NAND Erase option in Odin. Is that something I should be checking before Starting?
Not sure what else to do.
Thanks.

Sure, I can hold Power and Volume Down to get to the screen to load a custom OS.
I'm
1. Opening Odin
2. Loading in the file from sammobile in the AP field
3. Leaving Auto Reboot and F, Reset Time checked.
4. Letting Odin check the validity of the sammobile file
5. Then plugging in the GT-P3113 and hitting Start in Odin
Thanks.

OK, @dailyvideo don't flash any P3110 build because the bootloaders differ in something!!
I have got meanwhile for you download links of an excellent stock UEUCMK3 firmware for your P3113 click HERE or you can also download it HERE
Now your flashing checklist:
use entirely Odin v1.85 or 3.04
run Odin as administrator
choose any stock firmware for your Tab and download (you probably did already), unzip it and you will get one tar-md5 file
tap in Odin on PDA, choose that extracted single tar.md5 file
run now (not before) your Tab into download mode
connect it with USB cable
Odin must display "Added" in status bar, left on the bottom
Odin must also display ID:COM port numer above it
If both there, click on "START"
Good luck!

Didn't work
I was using Odin 3.09 so I went back to 3.04 per your suggestion. I tried UEUCMK3 firmware I had already downloaded. Still didn't work...

NAND is vital part of the device, IDK if it has to do with the bootloader. We might need a developer's advice, @Android-Andi, what do you think- can we help this poor mate?

NAND is vital part of the device, may consist bootloader or some other really important things.... IDK exactly, we might need a developer's advice here. @Android-Andi what do you say about this problem?

Tetapatak, Thanks for all your attempts to help! Super appreciate that.
Did you need me to reach out to @Android-Andi or did you post do that automatically?
I saw another post where someone did a partition and then came back and did your procedure and it worked but it wasn't for a GT-P3113. Not sure if that would work. I won't try it unless directed to.
Thanks.

He will see our mentioning and check this as soon as he can (he works now).
Try to google a bit about NAND partition, don't panic and have bit of patience, we will try to solve it.
Service can solve it for sure (not the dumb guy you've talked to )

Will wait

Thanks will wait to hear back from you guys. Really can't tell you how thankful I am.
To the guy's credit at the Samsung Experience desk at Best Buy he couldn't get the OS screen to come up. I have trouble with it too at times unless there is enough of a charge. He said if he could get it to a certain point he could drill in and work with the code and really wanted to. I think because he could get to the OS screen he just assumed it was dead. To his credit too his dad died within 48 hours of our visit to the store.
Looking forward to the wizard advice.

Brother, Try using this .pit file that i am gonno share :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wvn09tw1780irei/gt-p3110.pit
click on PDA in Odin and navigate to .pit file you have downloaded.
Now select the firmware you have downloaded as PDA and make sure only reboot option,,Repartition and reset time are checked.
Try this and give me a feedback soon.

Lokesh,
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Just to clarify. Are you saying load your .pit file with the PIT button because when I click PDA to try and load that a .pit is not a valid extension.
Also, are you saying to load the .pit with PIT and the .md5 file with PDA ans Start with the Auto Reboot, Re-Partition, and F. Reset Time Options checked?
Just making sure I have all this right.
Thanks.

You should choose in Odin just like last time: firmware under PDA. In addition, also choose PIT file under PIT. The PIT file will ensure your system partitions will be set properly.
If this also fails, it is possible that your internal memory is maybe corrupted and nothing can be written on the card.

[Q] Root attempt gone wrong

Hi All,
I've attempted to root my SM-900, using Odin 3.09 and followed all the usual steps.
Suddenly I got different coloured horizontal lines on screen and that probably means my attemp didn't go that well...
I've read I should go back to the original firmware using kies, and then try again.
So how do I restore the original firmware?
I have an image (.img) and understand I need samsung Kies.
Question: Do I use Kies or the new KIES3?
How to go from there?
Or is there another way to restore the firmware?
Thanks in advance!
I figured it out already....
I un-tar-red the recovery file. Leaving it as .tar solved the issue.

my tablet is stuck,tried different usb ports,different odins,different cables .gets stuck on set up connection,now all i get on screen is FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE

Had the same issues. Solved it by reinstalling the USB drivers. Via Kies 3, under the Tools menu. Worked perfectly after that. (Edit. ...for CFautoroot)

Since the recovery image was downloaded as aan .tar file, which is a container file like .zip or.7z, I thought that I needed to unzip it.
You can mount the .tar file in Odin as it is, without unzipping it first.
You can find the recovery download location in the CF-root thread.

I'm having this same problem. I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip from download.chainfire.eu. I extracted the zip file, leaving me with a tar.md5 file. I try to flash that file, and end up with multicolor bars across the screen, exactly like if the video card dies on a mobile.

So I flashed the original recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50492301&postcount=234 and got a working but unrooted tablet. And I flashed CF with both 3.09 and 3.07, with a flash back to stock before each. Same thing every time-picture of a dying video card, except display is fine once flashed back to stock. Pic of the display added, on the off chance it helps.
Install Kies 3, then go into the Tools menu and reinstall the USB drivers. Reboot. Try auto root again. Should work on the first try.

I did. I did the uninstaller for the USB drivers several times, with no luck. So finally I just deleted the Samsung folders in program files and program files x86. I did not reinstall Kies, just the USB drivers from samsung.com. I used odin 3.09, and it went flawlessly. Well, mostly-wifi took a *long* time to reconnect the first time after boot, but I'd also installed the update just before rooting, so dunno if it was the rooting or the update.

Whwre did you find the USB drivers on samsung.com? When selecting the SM-P900 it does not offer any for download.

I'm having this same problem. I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.zip from download.chainfire.eu. I extracted the zip file, leaving me with a tar.md5 file. I try to flash that file, and end up with multicolor bars across the screen, exactly like if the video card dies on a mobile.
Here's what Odin has output as of when the error occurs. It flashes up a big red failed in the upper left box.

So I flashed the original recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50492301&postcount=234 and got a working but unrooted tablet. And I flashed CF with both 3.09 and 3.07, with a flash back to stock before each. Same thing every time-picture of a dying video card, except display is fine once flashed back to stock. Pic of the display added, on the off chance it helps.

So this happened to me, and this is my first time rooting. I have the tar file for recovery. How do I proceed? I haven't unplugged my note pro, can I just put in the new file in the pda and start, or do I need to restart odin? Really kind of worried...

[Q] [HELP] GT-N8013 - Soft Bricked(ODIN MODE ONLY)

GT-N8013
Blue/Gray
16GB Wifi Only Model
I was watching a youtube video, my tablet froze for an hour, died, then I let it charge and it rebooted into the samsung logo. After that it decided to go white screen and goes to a white screen every time it's booted. I've been trying to resolve this on my own with various resources for about a month now.
I can get to ODIN mode no problem, but I can't flash anything. I have recently bought a new OEM Samsung USB cable and tried multiple versions of ODIN on two different machines. Directly connected to the motherboard and not USB 3.0 ports.
I think the solution to my problem may be answered:
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268735
or
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713297
It is hard for me to comprehend the English used in the first link as I think Authors first language is not English. I think what he is saying is that if ODIN is not working then you have to flash the PIT file via adb and a SD card, but I cannot access Recovery, and I don't recall fully how to use ADB in Downloading Mode, if that's possible at all. He also states I may need to downgrade my bootloader version based on the last ROM that I had on my tablet. If someone could educate me on that I'd appreciate it.
The 2nd link says I need the stock firmware for my country(I live in the U.S. of A.) and to nand erase all but I feel like that should be used as a last resort. I did download both N8013UEALI3(4.0.4) & N8013UEUCMI3(4.1.2) from sammobile.com though.
When I try to flash just a Recovery/ROM, with Autoreboot checked, I get the PIT error message below:

Any assitance would be greatly appreciated, I've been without my tablet for a month now. I have any backup, I don't recall the ROM I flashed because it was so long ago, but I'm pretty sure the version was Jellybean. I know my recoevry was one of the later CWM TouchScreen Rom recoverys but I can't recall the version. Thanks for any help, please let me know what information I'm lacking or what I can do, thank you all for your time.
Update
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to different PIT files for the PIT mapping and they both failed. Getting pretty desperate now. I can't even NAND Erase All, I gave that a shot and it failed:
When I select NAND Erase All, stock rom(4.0.4 or 4.1.2), Pit, & Re-Partition checked, Nand Erase all Checked, I get the following in ODIN 3.07 and 3.09:

I'm starting to think its the ECCM and maybe I need a JTAG repair. Like I said before, I can't get into recovery, I just get a all white screen. When the tablet first died I got the Samsung logo and then it rebooted and went White, I never got the Samsung logo again. Any help please? Even if it's just recommendations for trusted JTAG repair sites, because I don't trust the ones I've found ths far. Or know PIT files that have worked for flashing on the N8013. Anything at all.
BUMP
I found this article here: http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23562
Exact same problem I am having, I think I'm going to need a JTAG repair. I just posted a request to get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions. I ill keep posting updates on how this is going, I feel alone in this issue since no one has said anything but I get multiple views...but I see more and more people are starting to post in the help section for this particular brand of tablet in the past 3-5months, it sounds terrible but I'm glad I'm not alone since I feel like im talking to myself here.
Just contacted Mobiletechvideos guys, I hope they are legit. I'm will to pay $50 for a jtag repair if i can have this tablet back.

I've tried to use both ODIN & Heimdall. All files are failing for me. I tried stock 4.0.4 & 4.1.2 Roms, 3 different PIT files, I even tried to NAND erase all with a stock rom and ODIN continues to fail for me. I installed a virutal box on multiple machines running XP SP3 since windows 7/8 weren't working for me as well, that failed as well. When I try to flash the PIT files I get the output from ODIN in my OP, nothing is working for me. I'm just thinking I experienced instant death on this tablet for no reason at all. The most success i've had is with Heimdall just being able to reboot the tablet for me and then go back to Downloading mode, but nothing else is responding for me.
I'f I can get some fresh pit files from fully operational devices I will know that I've done everything I can excluding JTAG repair myself. If I can't get some fresh PIT files from multiple android versions, then I might just have to send it to the Mobiletechvideos guys to see if they can repair.
Thanks for the reply and interest in my issue!

To download a copy of your PIT all you have to do is install Heimdall, with zadig driver (Samsung/General Device) , boot your tablet into Download mode, and download a copy of your PIT by going to Heimdall Frontend, clicking utilites, and downloading and saving your PIT to your desktop(or where ever you want) and uploading it for me.
Heimdall can be found here: http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/
After you are down with Heimdall, make sure you uninstall the driver from "Device Manager" in your USB Devices, that way, you can use ODIN again. A;; of this should only take about 5-10mins, as all the files are really small. i really appreciate this.

onlysafonne, I have the same problem. I can use Odin and get to CWM but nothing I flash will get me past the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 image I cannot even get it to shut off. It will go black then power right back up.
I have flashed with Nand Erase All checked only
KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_813049_REV00_u ser_low_ship.tar
Any ideas? I have not heard of JTAG
I have a N8010 and I'm also in this kind of bootloop.
Nothing works.
I had OmniRom 4.4.4 installed and the newest TWRP.
I only can get into Download Mode.
When I try to get into Recovery the blue TWRP Screen pops up for a second and then it's going back to "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" Logo.
I even tried to disassemble the battery. But this didn't work either.
Any ideas what I can do? If not, I'll have to take it to repair. Got some warranty left, but I rather fix it myself.
Thanks

have you tryed to odin install your firmware? usally the bootloop is caused because you need to do a factory reset to get rid of (in your case OmniRom 4.4.4) your firmware as I see is http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/31427/N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU.zip/
Yes, I did try that. Is still in bootloop afterwards. I also tried to flash stock recovery or cwm recovery. But there is still twrp.
I can't open your link :-/

try this N8010 recovery with the included 3.07 odin put in PDA slot and do no check re-partiton look at picture
@Flying_Phil
yes samfirmware is picky go here and search your N8010 you most likly need to signup (it's free) and as you see most odin updates or "home" which means it does not do a factory reset which is ok if your updating a stock unrooted rom so you need to do a factory reset when coming from a custom rom.
well I tried to flash your attached file. Odin said "Pass!" but my Tablet still does the bootloop.
Like I said, I tried to flash several firmwares. All with this same result. First I tried the German version, then the Austrian and the Australian.
Now yours was the version for new zealand.
I have no clue, why this doesn't work.

Yes I tried to go into Recovery, but there ist still TWRP on it and it still crashes after a second.
I even tried the flash without checking "Auto reboot", so I could boot directly into recovery, but it worked neither.

Two things
1. Are you really sure that the firmware file is from a trusted source? If possible get a second copy from different trustable source.
2. The great Emmc of our tab, which is turning out to be the biggest killer of our tab. Perhaps emmc replacement.
Got it from Sammobile.. Finding another source with out broken links or getting heaps of rubbish or payimg $$$ is hard.
I found a vodafone one. same thing happens. earlier version, ditto.
Was thinking the EMMC is damaged. woundering if it is worth fixing.

I can't gulp this down my throat. Why the emmc is such a pain, I can understand a hard brick, but what really is causing this? I see few cases already, It's a soft brick and you can get into download mode as well. Firmware off sammobile does work.
Changing emmc requires professional, I don't know about the cost involved but i was looking on YouTube at a emmc replacement case. The guy did changed the emmc and it was back to life again. They could charge exorbitant. But still I don't feel so sure as to just put it all on emmc, root cause must be found out.
I now have tried win XP (win 7 before) with another rom. Still the same.
Am wondering if there is a write lock happening.
What does Flash lock in odin mean?

I can't gulp this down my throat. Why the emmc is such a pain, I can understand a hard brick, but what really is causing this? I see few cases already, It's a soft brick and you can get into download mode as well. Firmware off sammobile does work.
Changing emmc requires professional, I don't know about the cost involved but i was looking on YouTube at a emmc replacement case. The guy did changed the emmc and it was back to life again. They could charge exorbitant. But still I don't feel so sure as to just put it all on emmc, root cause must be found out.

I now have tried win XP (win 7 before) with another rom. Still the same.
Am wondering if there is a write lock happening.
What does Flash lock in odin mean?

Read this here, this checkbox wasn't needed for our device. I would not suggest you to check this box. It might work or further damage your device.
I think your device is at unbrickable mode right now, cause i have read people share this like they have flashed every bit of wrong files on their devices, which in normal case people will never try to even think of and yet are at the same situation.
I would suggest you to go through every detail you can find about the unbrickable situation.

Can't restore note 5 to stock

I am trying to restore my phone to stock because only stock modified rom works with VR, but doesn't play nice with android wear.
So back to stock I go, however when I put it in download mode load up AP with the file, and hit start it says "FAIL!" I have team win installed and that is how I get to download mode. I only had Auto Reboot and F. Reset time selected as well.
Can anyone advise me on what I may be doing wrong?

Download the stock firmware again the one you're using might be corrupt, also make sure drivers are installed
I have the drivers installed, also tried 2 firmwares, trying one more now.
Was following this guide:
http://www.droidviews.com/restore-t-mobile-galaxy-note-5-sm-n920t-to-stock-5-1-1-lollipop-firmware/
no firmware seems to be working. I also tried a new cable and a few ports. No change.
tried a different odin, got a bit further but ran into the get PIT for mapping...
Seriously, whoever can get me back to stock, i'll send a paypal donation to say thanks.
Are you using 3.10.7?
I experienced the same problem. I was rooted, running whatever custom ROM my heart desired, but unable to flash to stock....until I tried one too many times and had a soft brick. After some research I found I needed a PAC file. You can get it here: http://dl.samfirm.net/page/2. There's not too much to say. Each segment is loaded seperately and take your time. If this works for you I'm happy for you and want nothing more than to help a fellow traveler.

As I recollect the fee is for the latest PAC, the others are free.
So it got further with the files and the pit file, but it didn't seem to fully work and I want to understand what may be wrong. It said failed in the first box but continued then the next box said pass.
The phone is now booted in setup mode but I wanted to understand what i may run into with this error or if I am fine...

These files did end up working out, ran pit first then the other file. Gave me an error but seems to be working fine for now.
Thanks again.

Are you able to post the files here (if that doesn't violate an XDA rule)? Trying to get the old ones and they seems to be gone and really don't want to have to pay, but I guess I will if I have to.
Hey Guys,
Having an issue getting one of my Galaxy Note 5 (SM-N920T) back to stock. I am able to flash stock firmware in Odin 3.10.7 but the phone is bricked. When I flash any stock firmware the phone reboots and is stuck at the Note 5 Splash Screen. If i reboot into recovery and try to do the factory wipe it tells me it can't find "E:" and fails. Only way I can get the phone to boot is if I flash a rooted kernel. Then I noticed it says the Baseband is unknown in settings. I was going to try flashing through ADB but it tells me ADB is disabled, same with flashing from external storage. I cant even get it to reboot into bootloader. I am starting to think the phone needs IMEI repair..

Soft Bricked GT-S7582

I am following "[Guide] Know your Device: Galaxy S Duos2 GT-S7582~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST |2014.06.08|" this process to flash my device but its not working

Looks like the last stock ROM which installed on your device is too old and its bootloader doesn't accept sign of new stock ROM, try to download another ROM but lower down in the list on samfirmware

You have to reset your phone, to do so turn it off, go to recovery(press power,home , vol up key simultaneously) then use vol key to move up down, select format or factory reset whatever is present there and then apply it.....it will fix your problem

Then download odin and firmware from Google, put i in your computer, turn off your phone go to download mode(press power button,home key and volume down (not up ) key simultaneously)
Open Odin on computer select PIT/AP and locate firmware you just downloaded connect your phone through usb when it show [com 6 ] or something like that then press start, leave it till process complete, it will reboot in between the process, dont panic just wait till it say ok.....turn it on injoy, i hope you didn't installed any custom ROMs like cyanogen 12,13,14 etc. If you did, then you have to factory reset it as i mentioned earlier
