[Q] cant install CWM on P3100

Hi,
I have a Samsung Note P3100. I am running 4.1.1 android. The problem is that I cant install CWM recovery to my Samsung Galaxy Tab:
I use this instructions to flash CWM through ODIN:
III. Installing CWM Recovery on Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
1. First of all, close Kies software on your PC.
2. Reboot your Galaxy Tab 2 into the download mode. You can do so by pressing and holding both Volume DOWN and Power keys together.
3. Press the Volume UP key to enter into the download mode.
4. Launch the Odin Tool on your PC by double-clicking on Odin3 v1.85.exe file.
5. Connect your tablet to your PC using the USB cable.
6. From the Odin Tool, choose PDA and then select the recovery.tar.md5 file you downloaded earlier. You will have following screen:
[ Select "PDA" option ]
7. Click on the Start button to begin flashing recovery. Your tablet will reboot when the flashing is done
Everything Goes well, I see success in ODIN. But when I goto recovery by using Volume UP and Power keys simultaneously. It shows me the Stock recovery instead of CWM Recovery. And I am not being able to root my tab either. I used superoneclick, Heimdall but to no effect. Cant root it. The Heimdall says this:
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12
What does this error mean?
Can somebody help me in this?
Thanks in Advance!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M keeps rebooting

Here's my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M that keeps rebooting after trying to install a custom recovery so that I can root it.
What I did
I followed the steps (1 to 11), of Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S mentioned in the following page:
wiki,cyanogenmod,org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
After that, I simply unplugged the usb, there were no errors, and removed the battery and now what I get is the simply that my device reboots after the boot logo. IF I hold down volume + home + power I can boot in download mode. However, I cannot boot in recovery or in normal mode !
Here's a video of what it is doing youtube,com/watch?v=Wie9eZYyECw
What I have tried
Removing the battery and reboot the cellphone
I tried to redo step 7, heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot, but I still got the same error

Ok ok. I have two questions for that, first, do you know where I can find the stock rom. And secondly, can I do that via download mode since it is the only thing I can access ?

[Q] How to fix samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 boot loop

Hello, My samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0 stops at android after booting. It wont show anythings but keeps loading at android. How do i fix it.

Hold the volume up and power key together till you enter recovery, then restore backup. If you don't have backup then reflash the rom. You can also try clearing cache and dalvik cache before it. And i think it is the wrong section
---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Do press the thanks button

No recovery
There is no clock workmod recovery installed so i cant recover any backup. It was only rooted

Use stock recovery, wipe, if that doesn't work do a restore.
Pp.
sent from my microwave running lollipop 5.0.

Mostly this problem can be solved by just doing a factory reset in the stock recovery..
If it doesnt help there is only 1 way
-installing stock firmware using odin.
Follow these steps.
1.download the stock firmware from this site.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
2. Now download odin app in ur pc/laptop.
http://odindownload.com/download/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
3. Now charge your device above 60%, and go to download mode (power button + vol down)
And connect your device to ur pc.
4. Open odin and then select the firmware you downloaded from PDA button.
5.make sure you dont check/uncheck anything in there.just select the firmware and click start.
6.during this process it is best not to disturb your device, and if you see it rebooting dont worry it is common it will reboot several times if necessary.
7.once it is completed it will show pass in the pc.
And your device must have to reboot automatically, now remove the usb cable.
8.give it some time for booting, if it doesnt get booted even after 20 mins you can just go to the recovery mode,this time you will see the stock recovery, there perform a factory reset
9.now you can reboot,you will come to the stock firmware you had at first.
HURRAY YOU SOLVED YOUR PROBLEM!!!!
Note- remember to install your USB drivers if odin doesnt recognize your device.
Always have your device charged above 60%

Are you sure this is CWM?

Try flashing another version of CWM.

YOU ARE DOING EVERYHING ON YOUR OWN RISK.
I DID NOT TEST THIS.
Download Samsung drivers here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-USB-Driver-for-Mobile-Phones-15270.shtml
Download odin: http://d-h.st/er8
The CWM revovery itself: http://d-h.st/0Fw
1. First be sure USB Debugging is checked in ur device ( Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging )
2. Extract the Odin file from the zip.
3. Open Odin3 (Run As Administrator).
4. Put your device in download mode. To do so, press Volume Down And Home And Power Button all together and when it vibrates release
Power Button but keep pressing left ones. You should have a triangle with an android janitor while it's saying downloading ..
VOL UP TO CONTINUE...
5. Now connect USB to PC ,you should see a blue rectangle with COM:xx and saying Added. It means that your device is ready to be flashed!
6. Go into the PDA section and select your .tar file.(CWM Recovery)
7. Dont check any option (F.reset time and Auto reboot are checked by default) So just uncheck Auto Reboot.
8. Now click Start.
9. When it's finished, it should say that "Res OK" in Odin..
10. Now remove ur USB and remove ur battery and put it back and go to Recovery Mode (Volume UP And Home And Power Button all
together and when it vibrates release Power Button but keep pressing left ones).
If you don't see Developer options go to Stettings>About phone> press Build version 10 times quickly

I dont know. problem?

[Q] P6200 Bootloop Problem. Need to recover files.

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (P6200).
The device was stuck in a bootloop sequence.
It boot until enter the main screen then it freeze then the screen is off then start the boot again.
I really need to recover the files from internal storage.
I've tried copy the file when it enter the main screen. But when I choose the folder, the device start to reboot itself.
I've tried using ADB. Get my self in recovery and the ADB can recognize the device. But the main problem is, I can't access the /data folder because I don't have any access. I tried SU on ADB Shell but I get Segementation Fault. I tried adb root and get ADBD cannot run as root in production builds.
is there anyway to save the data ?
Thank you

Write CWM witch Odin, then run CWM and plug in to PC and mount internal storage.

Run Odin, select file recovery as PDA option, plug in tab plus to PC, wait for ID:COM flash as yellow, then press start.
Next step run CWM vol Up+ power
If u run CWM make backup your Rom on sd-card, mount internal flash, and many more.

Wow, thanks !
Will try it right now.

I've tried the method, and when in download mode, the screen stuck in 100% download. But not reboot it self.
in Odin setting, I untick the auto reboot option and f reset time.
I was waiting for a while, still nothing happened. Then I manually turn off the device by holding the power button for about 5 seconds.
When I powered up the device again, the recovery still the same (Android Recovery 3e).
How long is the uploading progress take to complete ?

To flash CWM you need a few seconds
watch this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUAEFDYG4uk it is the same method on Glaxy S2.
Check or reinstall your Samsung drivers.

I know. I watch lot of people having flashed within seconds.

Here is the URL to the photo :

sorry for the link, I cannot write down a direct link in here because my current post in XDA is less than 10.
I've tried using Odin several times and still stuck in that screen.

If you Plug-In galaxy tab to PC then ID:COM flash in yellow like this screen odin connect? If not, you can't send any file to galaxy.
Last Chance: you can flash official firmware (from sammobile.com) with Odin, remeber do not select "re-partition" and "PIT" option, after flash u can ran your TAB and seve all data.

Yes, the Odin flashed yellow, and the report was a success.
The loading bar in the device is showing progress from 0 a 100 percent full bar, then it stuck there. Not like the others that automatically rebooting.
I don't know about flashing with official FW, i'am afraid that it will remove all my data.
Are you sure it wont remove my data ?

All your data will be safe, odin flash only system data files.
when I updated my TAB from ICS to JB witch Odin, after update must be meke FACTROY RESET to erase all data files on TAB.
