[Q] Tab 2 10.1 P5113 won't boot to OS - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed stock 4.2.2 firmware through ODIN twice now. To make sure there was nothing wrong before. Right after flashing stock firmware, I installed PhilZ Touch 6.25.0 Recovery. In recovery, I tried installing several KitKat ROMs without incident (+gapps). But it never boots. The screen either powers off or boots to recovery. I've also tried using Dhollman KK kernel in case it was a kernel issue but that didn't work either. Not sure what's wrong.
I've tried both Philz 6.25.0 and CWM 6.0.4.7. Never any install errors, just doesn't boot. Stock firmware boots fine though.
EDIT: Even flashing stock firmware 4.2.2 (P5113UEUCMK3) through ODIN gets to bootloop at Samsung Logo now.
EDIT 2: So I can install recovery through ODIN, but installing ROMs does nothing. (Doesn't matter if it's 4.3 or 4.4. Stock frimware flashing through ODIN results in boot loop or boot to recovery as well.

if you are having a bootloop after flashing stock rom 4.2.2 then no problem cos after that to boot up you have to boot into recovery and wipe cache partition and do a factory reset and after than when you will boot into system after few minutes you will boot into screen without any problem

try a clean install wipe data and cahe, cache partition, davilik cache and format system.

Need Help getting my phone working again!

Hi all,
I was running the new SaberMod Carbon ROM for a few days and decided I didn't like it so I tried to restore a nandroid back up of what I had been running before (rwilco's mostly stock). The phone wouldn't reboot after restoring the backup, it would start and then go right back to recovery. Then I tried just flashing the rwilco's mostly stock as new instead of from a back up, and that had the same results - said it was complete but when I selected reboot phone it just went back to recovery. So I decided to flash the stock tar in Odin, but that kept failing. Now I can't get into recovery, it says something about an update being interrupted. I can get into download mode, but the stock firmware keeps failing in Odin.
I am guessing here that my problem is that the SaberMod rom is based on 5.1.1 and the stock firmware for the G900P (as well as the other rom and backup I tried) are 5.0.0, and I remember hearing you can't go back to an older firmware version. Does this sound right? and if so how do I get my Galaxy working again?
TIA for all help and suggestions!

Flash the TWRP recovery in odin
After that enter in recovery mode and format system, data, cache, dalvik cache, sdcards.
Then put the phone into download mode, and flash with odin the last stock rom (OG1) but make sure you don't have selected the "reboot" option in odin
After you got your phone flashed, take the battery out put it again and enter in recovery mode, choose "wipe data/factory reset"
Then put your phone in download mode and flash again the stock rom (OG1) this time with the "reboot" option selected
After you flashed your phone the first boot takes some minutes (in the yellow screen), just be patient.
After this you should have your phone complety clean and your problem solved.

I have phillz recovery on it right now....can't get into the recovery though since it says a firmware update was interrupted. Would TWRP be better than phillz? and would flashing that get it past the firmware interrupted message?
I tried starting by flashing TWRP but that fails too....any other suggestions?
Can't flash anything in Odin, everything fails. Any other ideas before this thing goes for a swim in the sink?

N8013 Unable to flash stock rom to revert from CM 12.1, cant wipe.

Hi
I have a N8013 where about two weeks ago I flashed TWRP, and then installed CM 12.1. All without issues.
Yesterday the tablet ran out of battery power and now on boot it gets stuck in a boot loop on the CM 12.1 boot screen.
So I decided to flash back to stock.
The problem is when using odin 3.09 or odin 1.85 I flashed N8013UEALI3_N8013XARALI3_XAR from sammobile.
Odin reports that all went well with no errors. When it auto reboots, it boots CM 12.1 again, as if the flash did nothing.
I then went into TWRP and did and formatted the system partition, which reported no errors. I reboot and it still tried to boot CM 12.1, as if nothing ever happened.
Any idea where I go from here?
If you reboot back into cm12 then when you did odin you didn't do all parts. I am betting you only flashed the boot loader and nothing else. Because if odin was done correctly the recovery option would not be TWRP and you wouldn't be running cm12.
The files off of samsmobile I don't believe are the correct version for this table. Check the forums here for odin files.
I have flashed the full 1gb Samsung image. I think something at the hardware level is wrong.
Other attempts:
I went into twrp and did a factory reset and cyanogenmod still boots. When wiping it spewed a few errors about /data/media but still said successful.
I used odin to do a re partition with the gt-n8103 pit file and cyanogenmod is still there.
This reads hardware failure somewhere.

Help, MMB29Q update wipes TWRP

Hi all,
Recently I updated my Nexus 5 from Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (MMB29Q) - latest build.
everything stock works fine but, once I flash a customer recovery, in my case TWRP it stops working...I get either a startup loop or TWRP gets erased by stock recovery.
I tried various steps ...
flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 - rebooted to boot loader was able to get into TWRP but, once I reboot system, everything works but TWRP is gone/erased and replaced by stock recovery?
Flash TWRP 2.8.7.1, then flash latest TWRP 3.0, reboot to boot loader and can get into TWRP but once i reboot into system, I am stuck on the initial boot loop.
I have to start from scratch of flashing system and boot etc to get past the loop and it still replaces TWRP with stock recovery.
I can always get into Fastboot but when I go to recovery it seems its being replaced by stock recovery.
anyone experiencing this issue? thanks for your help.
I guess I am doing something stupid but, not sure what...and thanks for your help
If you give more detail on the steps you are taking it will be easier for someone to help. Also, have you tried doing a factory reset when it bootloops?
thanks for the response..here are the details..
I had Lollipop with TWRP 2.8.7.1
yesterday, I downloaded latest build from android site...extracted all files....booted into bootloader and flashed all files..
rebooted - Marshmallow works perfectly...offcourse it not rooted yet or its locedback due to this flash
Scenario:1
So downloaded TWRP 2.8.7.1 and flashed it as recovery, no errors nothing...i rebooted to bootloader and went to recovery to confirm TWRP is there
I rebooted the system - TWRP gives option to root which I said yes so its rooted. I reboot system, this goes into bootloop - I wait for say 5-10 min in this loop mode and I see that adb can recognize the device but nothing else....its stuck in loop
when I force shut down by holding power button for few sec - and go back bootloader/recovery - TWRP is still there
***note*** I did factory wipe in TWRP but that did not fix above condition.
Scenario2:
exact same steps but after I flashed twrp2.8.7.1, I rebooted bootloader and flashed twrp 3.0 as well confirmed twrp 3.0 is flashed and rebooted system - phone start normally no issues - when I restart to bootloader - no TWRP exists, its replaced by stock recovery
Scenario 2, I tried couple of other ways and still the same thing happens - twrp 3.0 get erased.
not sure what I am doing wrong but TWRP doesn't stick
since this is my active device - i flash system.img and boot.img to get the phone to working condition
thanks for your help

Phone not booting up

So apparently after many days of using CM13.1
Yesterday i tried tried Carbon Rom( Yep the new build of 14.1)
Used it for 2 days then thought of rooting it.
Flashed the latest SR3 Supersu package and was working fine.
Flashed Arise V4A and changed SELinux to permissive and then the phone won't boot properly up.
Either it would get to the boot anim then get bootlooped again or completely shut down.
I tried restoring nandroid,but same result.
Tried flashing different roms,fastboot images of COS12.1,11,13.1 and even tried OPO toolkit
All results in the same bootloop/shutdown in boot anim.
Any help would be nice !
Update : Tried AOSPe and worked for a while until i clicked on Facebook and it shut down completely ;-;
TWRP works but when i flash roms it shuts down
If you have access to twrp, wipe data,cache,dalvik.
If it still doesn't boot flash stock cos13.1 ROM from fastboot.

When flashing stock rom with Odin, rebooting is stuck at boot logo

Hello, some days ago i found a Samsung Galaxy Ace Style (SM-G310HN/heatnfc3g) and i decided to mod it, i installed TWRP via Odin and all was ok, but when i tried to install CyanogenMod 12.1 it didn't work. Since it didn't work, i decided to flash stock ROM. It worked once, but now it doesn't work anymore. I suspect it's the PIT file, because when i reflashed stock ROM another time with a PIT file now it doesn't work anymore, let me try to explain:
When i try to flash anything (Stock ROM or recovery, custom or stock), it... doesn't, Odin says it flashed but when i reboot to recovery or reboot to stock, it stays at the Samsung logo or doesn't flash the recovery, even if it says that it flashed. What should i do? Is my phone bricked? How can i unbrick it if it's bricked?

Have you tried booting into stock recovery and selecting the factory reset option and the wipe cache partition option? It is sometimes necessary after flashing via Odin, I've had to do it a few times to solve a bootloop.

Well the problem is... i cant reboot into stock recovery. Its stuck in twrp, and it's not really a "bootloop", it stays stuck at the Samsung logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik on Twrp but nothing.
I cant even flash the stock recovery since as i said in the original post, if i try to flash EVERYTHING Odin says it flashed but on the phone nothing happened.
