I was attempting to get root access to my galaxy tab 2 10.1 running android 10.2.1 (or whatever the latest Samsung update was it is 10.2 on my phone but am sure it was 10.2.1 on the tablet.
I was following this guide that someone here recommended
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/4...-p5113-android41-jellybean-android404-ics.htm
I set usb debug and made sure the drivers were on my pc and made sure KIES was completely not running
Followed the instructions to the letter but should have worried when I found the instructions to get to download were wrong - I found on videos that it was reboot using power and right volume key. That was successful
It connected to ODIN fine and the yellow box came up
I made sure the two boxes were ticked and then searched for the file
CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifibby-gtp5113.zip and started ODIN
it seemed to be going fine until suddenly a red box came up with update failed
Now all I can get on the device is "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
No matter how I try to restart this I get the same screen and imagine I couldn't connect to kies even if I should
Can anyone help as I am worried that I have bricked my device - I was looking for a simple way to get root without flashing a whole rom - or is that what I was doing anyway?
Here is a link that may can help you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722745
Try to do the point A to install CWM Recovery and root correctly the tab then do the point E to install the stock Android 4.0.4
ps : if you want to do something to your tab, try to search here before other websites, big community, good informations/tips (personnal advise) :good:
Maybe file you downloaded is corrupted , redownload it from xda or sammobile and do steps again

I will take a look but so far the only thing I get is the message to connect to KIES and it wont of course connect - cant get into any other modes - you would think they would have some kind of hard boot recovery button that gets you to basic screen to download the latest firmware.
And I did start here and believe that this led from a post here - I was trying to find the least complicated method of getting root access without changing what I already had too much - the only other process that I found on here seemed to have lots of people reporting problems if it wasn't a 3g model
It is beginning to look like I may have found out what bricking is - thanks for the reply anyway
would like to do that

In fact the instructions do say if it doesn't work first time, to run it again with the boxes unticked - the problem is that I cant get back to download mode, or any mode other than the message to connect to kies, so have no way of doing this. So looks like it may have bricked - is there any way of unbricking a tablet?:crying:
It's going to be an expensive mistake especially as I haven't even had the £50 cash back from Samsung yet and I would have to pay full price now to replace it,
So did you remove it from Odin after it failed?
If you connect and pull up Odin, even though its not in download mode, do you get an active com box showing its connected?
Have you tried kies yet?
There is a simple method of rooting in the link posted in the previous post by n0is. At this point you might have to flash a stock image before you try and root again. If you can get an active com port in Odin, run a stock image first, they can be found here in xda. Get it booted up and then make sure you are on the latest android version, its 4.1.1 here in the US. If you try and root first and then update, you will lose root so update first to avoid rooting twice.
Just to clarify the root procedures,
Odin the cwm recovery .tar from the thread.
Reboot to recovery then flash the super user zip for the p5113. It will ask you about erasing stock recovery or something like that, check yes.
And that's it, simple enough

I will try but I don't think it is going to work. Whenever I connect the tablet by USB I get the usb connecting sound followed immediately by the USB disconnect sound - this just continues to happen every 4 seconds or so all the time that the device is connected. At the moment I have it on charge as once the error screen comes on it doesnt seem to go off for a very long time and then it wont start unless I charge it first. After a few minutes on charge - The firmware upgrade encountered an issue message comes up. I am going to leave it a while until I am sure it is fully charged and then try what you suggest - not optamistic though since I now realise that it is not even connecting properly. I just have a bad feeling about this. I had to disconnect it from the power yesterday because the error screen stays on continuously and the device starts to get warm
Assuming that I ever manage to get a stock image installed will this mean I can go back to normal kies updates - all I really wanted was the standard samsung android O/S but with super user added.
Unfortunately I had read the linked article a while back and what made me more confident was the statement that said it was "virtually impossible to brick this device"
Since it's still going into Charging mode and spitting out error messages, it's not completely bricked. It's just in a reboot loop (a.k.a. soft brick).
Keep trying to get it into Download mode. Sometimes the timing is a little tricky if it's in a boot loop.
1. Disconnect it before trying to get it into Download Mode. If it's plugged in (charger or PC), the device will go into Charging mode instead.
2. Hold the Power button for 10 seconds to make it reboot.
3. When you see the screen turn off, let go of Power and then press and hold Power and Volume Right/Up.
4. If done correctly, it will immediately go into Download Mode. If you see the Samsung logo instead, repeat from Step 2.
some progress but still stuck - any more ideas please

Hi well thanks -
when I connected Odin it did show up yellow and so I downloaded the P5110 stock from from the other thread - all went well and it reported all OK and re-booted - saw the animated sequence but now it has stalled on the samsung logo and still wont connect to kies
So still stuck but at least it has moved on - The instructions on the other page were a little unclear about one stage
It said if there was pit file included to set something and tick repartition - this was all in one line and so I assumed part of the pit instruction - as there was no pit file I did not tick re-partition - I wonder if I should have done?
I have just reconnected to ODIN and the ID Com is still lit up yellow so presumably I could try running it again, or should I look on here for another stock rom - I am wondering if I have somehpw scewed up the bootloader and if so how I go about restoring it
ODIN is the only thing it connects to right now
Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
Please can you help I bought this samsung tab 2 7.0 P3110 with it only powering on to the samsung tab 2 7.0 logo screen.
I am unable to get to recovery screen using the power and the vol up button all this does is power it off even if I hold for over one minute.
I can get to the download screen (power and vol down doing so is easy as it works) I have been able to use odin (failed many times) and download firmwares.
Last night I was able to download and gain a pass in Odin for CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi-espressowifixx-gtp3110 this I ran fist then 4.1.1 P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU. the problem after that is when odin tells it to reboot it hangs at the logo screen everytime. I have tried without the reboot and reboot manually it staill hangs.
is it a bootloader problem? corrupted partition? I think it needs the whole boot process reinstalled or rewritten if someone knows how
I am not looking for a custom rom All i want it to do is to power on into the stock recovery and to power on into the sofware by using something that works either by reformat or re partition the tab to get that part of the tab working before looking at firmware. sometime I have seen write fail when in odin.
simple instructions for how to get it back is all I am looking for.
I have browsed your site and watched youtube for hours no light at the end of the tunnel
thanks in advance for your help

I am not too sure about the partition/repartition thing, but I think you should use said Odin to flash CWM 6.0.45. It doesn't mean you have to install a ROM, but try attempting a factory reset (at this point, not being able to boot up, you might need to use Cwm to create some sort of backup).
However, I suggest waiting until you receive more than one reply, as I may be wrong
For going into recovery, try holding the buttons at the same time. When you see the first samsung bootscreen, release the power button and continue to hold the other button.

Thanks for your reply I probably didnt explain myself. I have always been holding down the power and the vol up button at the same time.
I have access to another tab 2 7.0 P3110 that is working in stock mode (a trusted friend allowed me to check how to get to the download and recovery screens ) I have noted the time it takes to boot into recovery from power off and from the samsung tab 2 7.0 screen and also going into recovery from the download screen. mine dont do any it just goes to the download screen or power off. the screen is black no life lol.
just a thought I dont think it actually powers off although the screen is black because I left it for over 10 hours I felt the back and it was warm battery was low as I couldnt power it on it was fully charged when I tried to get into recovery 10 hours earlier.
will try to explain one step at a time
because of the problem I am thinking I have to start from scratch instead of jumping into the middle of what is already possibly corrupt files. (I have probably built a house out of my bricked Tab)
1. what do I have to do to get a totally clean 8gb space for recovery and firmware to go onto?
2. what has to be installed via Odin to get to recovery (can recovery be tested on its own before the firmware is installed)
3. I have tried a PIT file before all I had was 0 completed and 0 failed???? is that good or bad? didnt see a PASS at the top left. did I have the correct PIT file?
4. are PIT files dependant on which version of Odin I run or recovery or firmware? if they are can someone point my in the right direction for everything that is compatible with each other
I read on this forum of splitting the MD5 files into bootloader pit by extracting it twice I tried that in winRAR I only had one chance it left a tar.md5 file which is the file I used to upload in Odin.
Thanks again for everyones help
2. You need to install Clockwork Mod Recovery version 6.0.4.5. It can be found in the development forum, made by Android-Andi
As for the rest, I'm not familiar

I have tried the above it passes and reboots to samsung tab 2 7.0 and thats as far as it goes. I waited 15 minutes no change tried the usual to get into recovery not happening. went back to download screen and ran gtab2P311x8g.pit below is a snippet of the important bits from Odin output screen bottom left I had auto reboot, repartition and f reset time all selected
set pit file
get pit for mapping
theres no pit for mapping
all threads completed succeed 0 failed 1
I have also ran philz touch 6.008 universal root also pass with reboot and without reboot
all tar md5 files installs and with a pass reboots but no blue bar on the bottom of download screen and no access to recovery screen.
I think the internal 8gb memory needs to be wiped and partitioned.
maybe someone can tell me how to extract all the files that are needed to get the os onto the tab from the tar md5 file like the partition, recovery and bootloader etc and the order of installing in Odin

Am now running with Odin 3.07 and CF Auto Root espressowifi....md5
it all run through with pass at the end. It doesnt show the blue line running across the bottom of the download screen on the tab. I have never seen this in all the 20 + times I have tried with Odin. All the you tube vids show this as part of the installation process. If I have auto reboot on the tab reboots when Odin send the request to the tab to reset.

ADB devices does not attach itself to the tab. ADB just says its waiting for device when in download mode and fastboot returns nothing. I think its because I am unable to run USB debugging due to no firmware.
Is there a way to get into the tab if theres no os?
I have taken the back off thinking the volume or power key might be faulty, there not. Pressing the power button and the up vol does nothing apart from putting the tab in a reboot loop or power off. I can get into download mode no prob. I have tried pressing the up and down vol keys with the power button to try to put the tab into shock no change.
I was searching the forum for a similar problem as mine.
And you have the exact same problem as I do.
At some point when I used Odin 3.07 and flashing an official firmware from samsung I got past the first boot screen.
But right after that it shows an android robot with a dedacahedron in front of it showing an animation and a loading bar.
Soon I discovered the next loop, since this animation would loop over and over again.
Now I waited for the battery to run out and charge it up till its full.
By the way:
When the tablet is off and I plug it in with the original cable and charger the tablet shows the battery icon, but it doesnt show the charging animation. The battery icon shows a "waiting" circle. So I cant really see if its charging or not.
Have you had any progress?
Would be so awesome to fix this, this galaxy tab is not mine. Its my brothers and I broke it by trying to root it and install cwm xD

The right one is in that list.
Then I tried flashing it with Odin3 Version 3.09
I googled for a newer version of Odin and found this version 3.09
First time rebooting didnt work.
But the seccond time I succesfully got into CWM recovery.

You can find it here:

Thanks for the detailed guide and everyone's responses.. I was SOL also and re-flashing CWM helped get me back to where I can flash again.
Here is the sequence of events:
Galaxy tab 2 10.1 with factory rom (wife's tablet)
Wife tells me that she keeps trying to complete the update everytime she gets prompted, but it always fails
Wife also tells me that she can't power off the tablet (she presses the power button, it shuts down, but then it starts up again)
I try the upgrade, get same result as wife
I try to reset the rom: I download what I think is the correct file, download Odin 1.85, and run it.
put tablet into download mode, attempt to use Odin to load new rom ***note, this is probably where I screwed up, as I am not sure i used the correct file. This is the file I used: PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708.tar, which I found in a search on xda forums for my problem.
Odin reported failure. I tried again, same result.
I tried using KIES, using the Firmware upgrade and intitialisation (note that I must have UK version of KIEs, based on the spelling of initialisation--maybe that's a problem??/). I put in the model number, then the serial number if the tablet, get a message that GT-P5113 does not support initializing
tablet displays the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I try to put tablet back into download mode, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions on what to do at this point? Appreciate a step-by-step solution, if possible.
Thanks!

Seems you flashed a wrong file.
Download another rom from http://live.samsung-updates.com/
and reflash with odin
Last week i tried to update my tab from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 it hangup while flashing. Had to reset but then end up with firmware upgrade encountered blablabla. I just reflash within the blind screen without download mode and got it to work again
But don't I need to get the tablet into download mode first?

That makes sense, but how do I get the correct file to the tablet if I can't get the tablet into download mode?

If it's really a gt-p5113 then find the 1 for your country. If you're not sure your region code/csc then just download for any region.
You will know what i'm talking about if take a look at the given link
Please look at item 10 on my list

I can't load ANY file to the tablet, as I CANNOT GET IT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE. I need to know how to force the tablet into download mode. Pressing POWER and VOLUME DOWN does not work. NOTHING HAPPENS.
Connect to PC on the screen "firmware upgrade encountered blablabl" Downloadmode on in Background, Odin can get access
If you are working with Odin, please kil ALL Samsung and KIES Programs and Services running in Background.
Hi for go to download mode you have to press power and volume up buttons

I have tried this many times and Odin just fails. TWRP, CWM, Phil's touch all tried and failed. I have tried so many ROMs not sure I could list 'em all. Wanted to try SlimKat. But have this same problem, can't find the handle now, I only get the firmware upgrade encountered blah, blah. I'm just about ready to make confetti out of it! Can I get assistance with this problem, please. I don't care what ROM I have to run, I just need it to work...
Any solution to your problem?

None as yet, I'm running out of real estate to search...
The rom you used in your op was probably for a data tab like sprint, att, Verizon, that is usually a brick result.
If you could factory reset you may have a chance but I doubt it without recovery or download mode.

You are faceing the "black screen of death" ("Firmware upgrade encountered an issue....").
Uninstall kies and reboot your pc.
Start odin.
Connect the tab running the black screen of death (BSOD).
Download mode running in background of BSOD so odin will detect your device.
Flash the correct firmware now and pray flashing the at&t rom didn't caused a hardbrick.

Correct rom
I think that is exactly my problem. Last night I got Odin to run all the way through, it said pass but still no soap. I'm just about to list it for parts and at least minimize my loss.
Hello. Yesterday i tried to do a full restore in my Galaxy N8000 (factory) and, as an user of the Bliss Pop, something went wrong and now my tablet doesn't even start anymore. He looks like will start, but then the screen seens to turn on and off again, and so it goes on.
I downloaded the firmware from SamMobile, thinking that maybe i should use Odin and reinstall some stock ROM (i don't even know if i'm doing it right), but it seens like i can't plug it to my computer, Odin doesn't recognize (i've downloaded the Samsung Drivers from the Samsung website, but still nothing). How can i bring my GT back to life again? Please, really, if someone could help me would be so nice and i'll be grateful forever, because i use the tablet for studying and can't be without him. So, thanks in advance, and sorry for the bad english.
As opposed to just attempting to turn it on, have you tried booting directly into recovery (I'm going to assume TWRP)? If that works, you could attempt to reflash the last version of Blisspop that you had. I do know that Odin will not recognise your device unless you've booted into Download Mode first.

Yeah, i can't access the recovery... now Odin recognize my Tablet, but i'm getting the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again, but Kies doesn't recognize my GT. What do i do? Flash a new firmware via Odin?
Yes. See if reflashing firmware would do you any good. However, NAND write fails are a bit more advanced...
