[Q] help fix my stuck boot loop after trying everything! - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
I have spent 2 whole days searching XDA for a solution to my issue with Samsung tab 2 10.1 GT-p5100 3g on vodaphone uk (although i think its unlocked).
I have tried so many ideas from the forums but now at a last resort i have given up looking and conceded defeat. PLEASE HELP.
Device info
Samsung tab galaxy 2 10.1 GT-p5100 3g
Direct issue:
stuck in boot loop, it turns on and goes to the Samsung really noisy splash screen then reboots - AFTER trying to install a stock Samsung ROM that i suspect might not have been good. (apologies this is a project i am revisiting from a few months ago and i cannot find the ROM). It appears to not have an OS on at all now.
I have tried using ODIN to put this on: EUR-P5100XXDNA1-20140602152511 which fails at about 50%
I have also tried using sd card from boot recovery to use these zips:
ASerg.2.P5100XWALE2.NoWipe.zip and samsunggt-p5100.zip from the forums
nothing has worked and i have been stupid and not fully documented everything i have done plus left a 2 month gap between working on it.
Any way all i want to do is take this expensive paper weight and put an image that will work so my daughter can play angry birds!
please point me forward although i have been through the forums at least twice.
thanks

I have had bootloop many times, once I couldn't escape it and instructions on this website helped me:
h t t p://howtorootmobile.com/stuck-in-android-boot-loop-tips-to-fix-recover-from-boot-loop/.
If instructions below won't help, try to find stock ROM from another source, like
h t t p://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5100
and flash it with ODIN.
If ODIN fails, maybe this link can help:

Fix Android Boot loop issues on Stock Android
Step 1. Remove the battery from the device and wait for 30 seconds and then put the battery again on your device. If your phone doesn’t has the remove bale battery like Nexus 4, then power down the phone and keep it powered off for 5 minutes. This will turn off your device permanently.
Step 2. After that Boot your device in to Recovey Mode. Samsung Users use Volume Up+ Home + Power keys. If you have the other Android device then do a Google search how to enter in recovery mode.
Step 3. Once your android device is in Recovery Mode, Go to the “wipe cache partition” option and select it.
Step 4. After that go back to the recovery main menu and reboot the device by “reboot system now” option.
Step 5. If the device again stuck on Android Boot Loop pull out the battery again and repeat the above steps. This time also “wipe data/factory reset” and then reboot device.
Now your device will come out of the Android Boot Loop and at the first time the device will take some time to reboot.

[Q] HELP! International Version Samsung S3 won't boot up

Hello guys, my apology if I open this thread somewhere. I just couldn't find a perfect thread to post about these issues. My International Version Samsung Galaxy S3 won't boot up after I root it with ODIN. The rooting was fine as I was able to download some apps in google play for root users. Eventually, I restarted my phone & there you go! It didn't boot up, all I see was a samsung logo & then my phone dead again. I got into recovery mode(home + power + ctrl up), i tried 'wipe data/reset factory" but still to no avail after I reboot my device, it will take me to the start up set-up of samsung (just like when you unbox your phone, the set up message shown when you 1st turn on your phone) but I stucked on the language, after I select language, my phone hangs & dead again. I can get into download mode too (home+power+cntrl dwn) but it will just stuck me to "downloading... do not turn off target'. Can somebody help me with this? I read about flashing & stuff but I just dunno how to do it though I tried but using SGS3 toolkit but again I am stuch at waiting for debugging... ANy help is appreciated.. Thanks

[Q] Failed upgrade, now stuck in recovery mode

My Galaxy Note 10.1 is stuck in recovery mode and I'm not sure what to do next. Here's what happened:
After connecting to wifi, a software update was downloaded and a message asked me to install it. I accepted, because otherwise it said it would remind me in 3 hours.
I left it plugged in and went out. When I came back, there was a screen warning me of the dangers of installing a "custom OS" (?) The options were to press the volume-up to install it, or volume-down to reboot. Neither option did anything. Hard rebooting went to the same screen.
Later, I tried to charge it, but got this repeating sequence: the symbol showing a charging (but empty batter) for a couple of seconds, then a picture of the android robot with blue polyhedron thing (like here), then blank screen. A few seconds later it repeats.
Finally I try rebooting into recovery mode:
Android system recovery (3e) ... reboot system now apply update from external storage wipe data/factory reset ... MANUAL MODE -- Appling Multi-CSC... (sic) Applied the CSC-code : INU Successfully applied the multi-CSC.
Now, I don't really care whether I get the update or not, or whether I lose some data - I just really want a working phone again. I'm travelling atm, so it's a bit inconvenient. But mostly I'm asking for help to avoid making the problem worse.
So: what should I do?
It's a (unlocked) Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 with ICS.
Download the full firmware for your region. Then charge it fully
Install Kies so that you get the USB drivers.
Download Odin
Unzip the firmware that you downloaded
start Odin and select the PDA,browse to the firmware and select it.
Enter download mode on the note with Power & Vol up
Make sure kies is not running
Now connect it and check that Odin finds the Note.
Press start to flash the firmware.
Don't go out while it flashes!!

[Q] HardBrick after update (samsung stock)

Hello,
My GF have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) and in february she updated to N8000UBCML2. Ah, she never used root, CWM, etc, her tablet is totally "official", so she updated her tablet using WiFi but after the update her tablet started to "reboot every X hours" sometimes more or less. I did a wipe and her tablet is now very better but sometimes he just reboot and get in loop.
She asked me to go to the old version, since the old version was working fine. So I tried to enter in Recovery Mode but her tablet just reboot 2~3 seconds after enter in Recovery Mode, I really don't know what to do I can't use Odin.

[Completed] Yu Yureka Bricked Don't Know Soft or hard bricked "IN WARRANTY"

Hi All,
current status of phone - In warranty, Not working, stucked into Yu LOGO bootloop
Last OS: CS12 - lollipop updated by OTA
How it happened:
1) First I rooted the device, and was using it, no problem. CWM was there.
2) tried to install MIUI v6, via cwm - install zip
3) It was installed and but restarting on every step - like in intial setup itself it restarted 3-4 times on every button click.
I was even able to see home screen of miui, but when i clicked on anything it restarted.
3) have taken nandroid backup through nandroid app, but can't locate in files of internal storage through CWM menu
4) till now cwm was working, I tried to install cynogen official CS12 from the support page of cynogen.
5) several times wiped partition and cache, tried to install CS12, error came " installation aborted" just after few seconds.
6) then to reset i tried flash tools from xda itself, in which batch file was there - in that cmd window hardly shows for a second.
somehow i tried to see atleast what message is displayed on CMD - I saw "error unale to mount *.img" like various names of file and then cmd exited.
7) After few tries I suddenly observed that my phone was stopped going into CWM mode.
8) when connected to usb cable phone goes to fastboot boot mode after 3-4 seconds automatically no need to press any volume up button. Phone is not vibrating when i click the all button to enter CWM recovery mode. it again goes on restarting and showing the yu logo.
9) I have called YU care, I but i know they will not respond me for another 10 days and after several follow up it will end up in something after 1 month or so.
10) till that time if someone can help me in reviving my phone back, it will be very helpful.
Anything needed just let me know, I will post screenshots and links if needed about any thing written above.
Please help me!!!:crying:

Problem with bricked GT-N8000

Hi everyone
I have GT-N8000 2012 version. A week ago it suddenly went off and I am no longer able to turn it on, i.e. after showing the Samsung white logo, it is restarted. I have tried flashing different firmware versions but it doesn't help. Also the Power+VolumUp combination does not show any menu (I think it usually boots a menu for factory reset). What can I do? (I prefer being able to recover my data).
Thanks in advance
Same problem here, on same device type (N8000 2012, standard stock samsung firmware).
Mine doens't even reach the Samsung logo. It just gets to the 1st screen (Galaxy Note 10.1 white message) and reboots after a couple of seconds.
Also can get to any menu using Power & VolumeUp (doesn't seen to have any effect). Only Power &VolumDown gets to the Download menu.
Unless this is a Hardware problem I wanted to factory reset the device, hopping this would clean "everything" but put it running again.
Thanks
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin ,and download mode.
try this one

no worries. it happens. soft brick situation
you need a stock rom for your device or back up rom.
go back to PC and start ODIN, cable in, then boot your device under download mode not recovery.
once it is in download mode, flash your device using ODIN.
allow to reboot.
un-bricked device.:good:
stock ROMs are here in case you are looking
