Good afternoon guys,
I have a problem with a Samsung Tab 2 GT-P5110 16gb 10.1 tab.... i went to restore to factory settings and it wouldnt load...
I tried using ODIN and stock rom but here is what happens... It loads to device fine and then says updating for about 20 seconds then says deleting and just goes back to the Error screen with Android robot... Tried this a few times before coming here to ask for help...
I am just downloading the P5110xxDMH2_P5110 UK Version from SAM Mobile.... But the guide says to also add PIT File... this is where i am stuck... Do i need this... What is this...
I have Done plenty with my S2 and S3's but never needed to do this on any of them...
Any help is much appreciated and will try to give as much info as required
Cheers
Steve

Hy guys,
After spending 5h researching my problem i have decided to ask professional help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P6200 running on android 3.2. I tried to upgrade to ICS but i had no luck.
I used odin 1.85 and 3.04 followed the instructions step by step, used heimdall didn't work. Tried two diffrent firmware P6200XXLQ1_P6200OXALQ1_ATO and P6200XXLQ7_P6200XEULP1_XEU. It stuck on SetupConection... and it fails with odin 3.04, i used pit and re-partition an still no luck.
The thing is that it would not connect to Kies, the pc recognize it u can browse the files download the pictures, browse sd card, but not connect to kies (don't know why). I took a picture for u guys to see what i think is wierd.
What do you guys think are my chances to update to ics or other firmware better than 3.2 because i hate the way it works right now.
UPDATE:
After countless hours of trying i managed to crush PlayStore, I've wiped/clear cash data and factory restore and still nothing .

Need more info, exact model number firmware you were on, firmware file you were tryimg to flash, did you check, or uncheck anything in Odin? Download mode is good, you should be OK.
How do you know its softbrick? Bootloop, hang at logo? Which one?, as much data as possible will get you fixed faster.
I had same problem. You need a PIT file for p6200 and use it in odin together with the newest firmware from sammobile.com.
It works for me.

I have limited knowledge on flashing, but as far as I know, If u r using a 'PIT' file, be sure to check on 'Repartition' Option in Odin (while flashing). If u Flash wid ONLY a md5 file, ensure that 'Re Partition' box is unchecked while flashing. May be u kept Repartition checked while you were not using a PIT file or vice versa.
If that is d case, try flashing again by following a correct process.
Hi,
I bought a bricked Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000 and managed to flash stock firmware and booted correctly except for a strange Watermark on screen which showed device specs. Then I tried flashing German Kitkat version thru ODIN which failed, now the device is stuck on Galaxy Note 10.1 screen even though I have tried flashing ODIN many times and it has shown PASS but doesn't go beyond that. It can't even go get into recovery (only can get to ODIN mode). Please help me as i can't go beyond that even though i have searched a lot google, no one seems to have gotten any solution.
34 views but no suggestion!!! It seems mighty developers never bought this phone to suggest something. It's strange ODIN can flash and shows success (firmware or any recovery) but nothing seems to install and make it boot. Pl someone got some idea?

Have you tried flashing a custom rom?.
Just realised you said it wouldn't go into recovery.
Try flashing from another pc
Which version of ODIN are you using?.
No haven't tried custom ROM but probably this device was never rooted but can give that a try. Yes it won't go into recovery at all. I will give try from another PC. I have tried ODIN v. 1.85 and v3.09.

I think it might be a driver issue with your pc if it won't work with v1.85.
Trying reinstalling the Samsung drivers on your pc.
I flashed stock firmware before with the same PC and it worked and I have tried to use same ODIN and same stock firmware which worked before. Even now ODIN says PASS, infact there is no failure at all but device itself is stuck on "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" splash screen. I have tried restarting PC, using different USB ports but ODIN always says PASS without problem but device condition is same. I think may be i should change firmware/ stock recovery even though previously the same worked. I am at a loss, don't know what to do?
P.S: Edit: as i was writing these comments I thought of trying out same german kitkat version which earlier broke my device and this time it succeeded and at least device has come out of that splash screen though it is still stuck samsung animation screen. so i will try more and will update. any suggestions are welcome. thanks
ok, now it's possible to get into stock recovery at least, although it shows "E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)" and " Applied the CSC-code : unknown". What to do now? kindly advise
Finally managed to ODIN a stock firmware to work correctly and device is able to boot but show "Broadband: Unknown". Thanks for your help

Can you check your IMEI if its available in setting/device? If its not your EFS is missing or corrupt.
yes, IMEI is Unknown! that means EFS is corrupt! I know the IMEI, I have the box, how can i restore it?

Thanks a lot for the link. I will go through it deeply and try it out and will come back.
Just some food for thought! Since i bought this device bricked and never knew which firmware it came with and tried different firmwares randomly until i found one that could work only with "Factory Mode". My question;
1. Could it be that I flashed a wrong firmware causing this thing to go Factory Mode?
2. Or must it be corrupt EFS folder?
I am asking because now i rooted my device, it is showing one EFS folder and when i tried to flash Philz recovery over TWRP it gave me error that " This package is for 'c).p4noterf.n8000.GT-N8000' devices; this is a 'p4notewifi'.
E:Unable to mount '/efs'.
Any suggestions? Please
I think this efs folder is generated automatically by the android when it can't find one because when i checked it was an empty folder, nothing inside. so may the issue is of broken efs system folder. Can't create my own IMEI since i have the box and IMEI is written on it.
Does this device use SIM to make calls or just for data download? Couldn't figure out! Is there a simple way to get rid of the "Factory Mode"? may be i don't need all that SIM functionality after all but certainly want to get rid of that "Factory Mode".
Can I try this one

Any suggestions, kindly do suggest if i should do whatever is described in the above post or the ones suggested before written below

Please advise which method should i try. Awaiting eagerly for input
Is it possible to use following tool to repair EFS?

Please suggest me something if someone out there know something?
Finally fixed it by using the thread shown above but i have a fake IMEI but factory mode is no longer there and everything is working normally. Is it possible to change IMEI to my own by using methods i have seen on net including youtube? please advise

Mine is wifi+3G version, its called GT-N8000. Mine was bricked before and I flashed it using ODIN (its available everywhere almost) and stock firmware (you need to use the one installed on it from factory, you can find download link from sammobile site but be careful download the one that is specific for you model no.). Then describe your problem may be i can help you.
Hello everyone.
First of all, the questions I have :
Where can I find Galaxy Tab 2 P3100 stock rom file for ODIN?
Which recovery should be used with it?
Boxes I should tick when installing it?
Problem I'm facing :
Tab kept booting over and over and it shows start screen, so I decided to install a custom ROM.
check SlimROM forums and downloaded the 6.0.5.1 recovery and the Slim-p3100-4.4.4.build.9.1-UNOFFICIAL-20150205-2140 ROM
Flashed Recovery via ODIN, then when I tried Wipe Data/Factory Reset, tab just kept restarting as if I never tried Wiping anything.
Read all of the posts on : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/soft-bricked-tab-gt-p3100-t3016879
Conclusion : Before I decide whether the device is bai-bai, I should flash a Stock ROM with Pit files and re-parti (I think)
Problem : Can't find the Stock ROM file and Pit file for days now..only ones I found are outdated and links dead.
(some info on which boxes to check in ODIN and ODIN version would be helpful too, noob over here)
Tab used to run ICS.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Have you checked sammobile?
Only place to find it will be Samobile, tab has no active development and is ancient with "end of life " issues.
Go to Samobile find firmware, click download, go fishing and come home 12 hrs later and maybe it will be downloaded completely.
If you're lucky flash with Odin and if it works leave it alone.

Nothing worked

So I found the PIT file and the stock ROM tar file (Thanks for the tip by the way) and it still didn't work.
It's as if I hadn't done a thing in the first place!!
Stock ROM same as it is, nothing changed AT ALL..all that happened after is that Custom Recovery was removed.
So I entered Normal Recovery and Factory Reset, on doing so, it reset the Stock ROM. I rooted the tab this time and still haven't done anything else.
Tab started rebooting on its own again and soon wont stop rebooting.
All I found on the forums was that the only solution is the Stock Tar + PIT file, but that didn't have any effect at all..
Anyone could tell me how to proceed to install a custom ROM just to get rid of this faulty damn Stock one?
Thanks in advance!
Your help is really appreciated!!
Maybe you need tar.md5 file of a custom rom
Your best bet is to read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3016879 you may find something to guide you.

I was able to rescue mine with heimdall and the heimdall frontend.
Hi,
I am trying to fix a tablet that somehow got corrupted after an update. When I turn it on, it goes to the samsung log and hangs for ever. Also, when I shut it off it comes right back on by itself.
I can get to the stock recovery and the odin mode. Clearing cache in recovery errors and reboots.
All I know about the tablet is that is a Galaxy Tab 2, GT5-5113 (according to the odin mode)
I found this thread when searching: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668 which which I am pretty sure I can just grab the right one and flash it via odin to sort it out. My question is which one do I need since there are 6 to choose from and I am unsure of the exact model past 5113?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse
The characters after 5113 are the firmware version. Just grab the one with the latest date and you're good to go.

Thank you!
The links in the other thread redirect to some streaming site. Is there anyone with a good link to the stock firmware? I don't have the tablet rooted so I think I can only use the stock one correct?
Thanks
Jesse
UPDATE
I got it working, thanks a lot for the help!
