What were you doing before this issue started? I had this before from a bad kernel being flashed and this thread got my phone to boot again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644

1. What version of cmw do you have?
2. Try flashing cmw manual (not touch)
3. If flashing cmw worked flash a ROM.
4.If not, can you boot into phone?
5a.If so, flash stock from one click root. (search it)
5b.If you can do 5a, now try step 2.
Hope I helped!

BTW who got the reward lol. Even if it was me I wouldn't need anything to help because that's what people at xda do for others. Speaking for myself and maybe a lot of others, it would feel wrong getting "paid" to help you with a problem that you have. I mean you don't really pay Customer Service when you want a refund at Wal-Mart. Anyway enough of my rambling. Glad to see that your phone is working again and I hope to see that you help people like we have done for you .

Nv flash is was the bets thing that it happend to Gx2 because everytime when i lose the recovery mod i go straigh to flash again nv flash.

Not bricked but not working.

OK all...so I am new here and was trying to get JB to work on my tablet. I thought I had done the needed research but went wrong somewhere I guess. I tried to follow steps on a site I found from AndroidAuthority dot com (not sure if I am able to post the entire link or no?). I was trying to root and install ClockworkMod Recovery but I guess either something went wrong or I messed something up. From what I have been reading I guess I have not bricked my device since it still tries to load. It currently loops with the Samsung screen. I can still enter the download mode and recovery mode but not sure what I should try next. I tried via Odin again with no luck. Out of the box I was running 4.0.3 but did the OTA update to 4.0.4. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks from a newbie!

Also I used espresso_recovery.tar.md5 as the recovery image if that helps at all. Thanks again.

Followed the steps from another site. Will follow these later today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625
I guess since I can still use Odin I should be all set. Sorry if this was in the wrong section.

You can use heimdale too. Ive had better luck using that for my phone, never tried my tabley but it should work.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

I haven't tried heimdale yet cause I do not want to add more gas to the flames. But I tried the other link I posted and still no luck. Also tried a different SD card to be on the safe side but no luck. Any ideas on what I should do next? Or any other info I can provide that might help?

Keep on trying... it should work sooner or later. Have the samsung drivers? If not install kies. Try other usb ports too.
Sent either from my p113 (gtab 2 7.0) or i997 (Infuse)

Should I keep on with the same procedure or you mean keep letting it boot in a cycle?

I used this with 4.0.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
i would suggest you follow from the beginning.
install samsung drivers and kies and odin. run odin as adminstrator.
pay close attention to the mention of the post #325 in the instruction as it what helps you 4.0.4 root process. its difference from 4.0.3.
also if you are on jb. you need to run cwm 6.0 not 5.0 make sure youre uploading the right file into odin.

Followed all the steps in section B and I am still stuck in a boot loop. Any idea?

Then use the restore to stock procedure. But before you do, tell me: what step did you boot loop on?

Haven't been able to work on this again. I will try and get some time and get back to you. Thanks again for the help.

Don't use ClockWorkmod, it's not designed specifically for Gtab2... CWM is bad.
you can try flash your gtab2 with ODIN instead

CWM is OFFICIALLY supported now and works good.
Don't fear.

Officially supported by WHO? Samsung ?
CWM is not designed for Gtab2. Just ask clockwork if you don't believe it.

Boot Loop
So I'm new here, I tried rooting my p3100, flashed cwm with Odin, as it rebooted from there it just keeps rebooting - need help please guys......any lil bit of advice would help - I've read on other posts to flash to the stock ROM, but how do i do this? where do i get the rom......

OK so I am back at it and still not having much luck. I can't get as far as the:
"CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0"
Screen.
From here I do not have a recovery file to use. Which should I use for the P3113....At this point I don't even care if I lose all the data on the tablet and go back to stock. Just need it working again and then do some more research on how to do it right..
Thanks again.

Then use Section E of my guide. It will wipe your data and restore your tablet to stock.

[Q] Stuck on Samsung logo and powered off itself :(

I'm currently using CM10 Jelly Bean 4.1.2(thanks to aorth).
Through recovery mode,Im using CWM.zip to wipe data/factory reset my tab and it stuck on the formatting process.Then I power off and restart.Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ appears for a long time and power off itself.
So,Im flashing ICS ROM using Heimdall.It still stuck same like I'm using CWM.
I have no idea on this.Please help me.:crying:

Thanks for your concern.You reply very fast.
1.I reflash using ROM : P6200OXALQ1_P6200XXLQ1_P6200XXLQ1_HOME.tar.md5
2. I use odin 1.85 to flash,check repartition box,check auto-reboot box,and check the reset time box,the .pit file is used is tabplus.pit & 2 pit file in http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1295861&d=1346499097
after that,my tab also stuck at samsung logo and power off itself..
Is it because battery is low or something else?
Now,i download HC 3.2 to flash in my tab.pls i don't want to JTAG Service my tab.it is expensive.MYR280

Flash HC using Odin, then go into recovery and wipe cache/data (I had to do this too, otherwise it would get stuck at the Samsung logo as you described). Even when repartitioning etc. I guess it still does not reset the tab to factory settings until you do a wipe.
I guess you shouldnt do this with the ICS stock recovery, that could cause hard brick.

I would go ahead and try ODIN to HC 3.2 firmware as suggested.
What happens when you plug the charger in?

WIPE data/factory reset after ODIN

JTAG cannot fix the EMMC brick. You have to send it to Samsung and they will replace the main circuit board.

I know that some have had it repaired under warranty at no cost. Others have had to pay. I do not know the cost.
I would certainly ask for warranty repair since Samsung is aware that they shipped a variety of devices with this bug.

Problem is: I don't have the warranty =(
I sent it to Samsung and they'll tell me how much is it.
After that, I'll try to recover my money with Samsung, since this problem is their fault

Very confused
Here's hoping that I'm in the right place...I have a tab 7.0 + with Android 3.2 out of the box. I want to run ICS with root privileges. Is there a way to tell if my tab is affected? Or is there a way to skip ahead to Jellybean? I'm a total noob to Android but Linux is the Bomb.
Please me sort this out or steer me to the right forum!
Thanks & Metako-a-o-yasin.

[HELP] Bricked android 4.1.2 galaxy fame

i was flashing a zip with flash gordon and suddenly all my apps closed and the phone doesnt turn on again, it stays always on samsung logo and only turn on in recovery mode. is it possible to fix it ? i thought that re-installing the OS would work but i dont know and i want to be sure.

If you can get to recovery/odin, you can fix it. Search in Google "galaxy Fame odin stock" and follow the android (dot) gs link. I can't post the link because I am a new member. Make sure your phone model matches the ROM you are downloading. DO NOT flash the incorrect ROM because the WILL hardware brick your device.

If you can get to recovery, have you tried factory reset from recovery?. in most cases that solves the bootloop, only problem though you will lose all your users apps.

Hi, I got the same error a couple of days ago when I bricked my phone and it was because of the ROM I downloaded. If you tried to flash a 5.0.2 ROM you'll get that error, flash a 5.1.1 instead and it should go fine

Technically everything you flash wether it is over Odin or recovery is called a rom. Only the Stock ones provided by the manufacturer are called firmware. You could also say custom firmware for custom roms.
But no confusion here
