I ended up sending this to Samsung for repair. Luckily my tab was still under warranty. It took them 3 times to finally get it fixed correctly. First time they replaced the main board and the data link cable plug. When I got it back it lasted about an hour before it started doing the reboot loop again. So I sent it back and that time that did a software upgrade, but they obviously didn't even test it before sending it back cuz it only lasted 30 min. then it started with the reboot loop. Before I sent it back for the 3rd time I got in contact with a manager cuz I was so frustrated at this point. That time I sent the tablet directly to her to make sure it was fixed and tested before sending it back to me. I've had it for about 2 weeks now with no problems. They replaced the main board again. So either they gave me a faulty one the first time they "fixed" it or they didn't do anything to it.
So if your tab is stuck in the reboot loop and there's nothing you can do to make it stop, contact Samsung.
I bought this about 2 weeks ago and got to use it for about 5 days.
Woke up in the middle of the night cuz I kept hearing the start up sound to my tablet. So what it does is starts up then I get a prompt saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" I click ok and then another prompt that says "Unfortunately, Goole+ has stopped" with the choice of clicking "Report" of "Ok" then the screen freezes and it all starts again.
So I have about 3 - 5 seconds after it starts up and I've tried going in and doing a system restore but it crashes before I can do that. I have manged to go in and delete my google account but when it restarts my account is back.
So then I tried using the Odin3 program with every different file that I could find that would be compatible with my tab and it shows that it installs fine but nothing ever changes on the tab it self. I have tried using the Pit file and the stock rom, the stock rom alone, the pit file alone, twrp open recovery, clockwork open recovery, CF Auto Root, but no luck. I have tried having the auto reboot on and off and then rebooting it myself, still no change.
When I go into recovery mode it shows the android with a red triangle. and of course if I try to install anything from there it always does the signature fail. Which I'm guessing cuz it's not rooted. So at this point I am wondering is there a way to just completely wipe everything off and start completely over? I have wasted so much time on this POS I'm about to just throw it away. Any advice would be more greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Im a new member. Im have the same trouble also.
there is an endless restart cycle, and my tablet can last only for around 10 to 15 seconds power on then it will restart again and repeat the process until the battery die.
I can only power off if i connect to the power supply.
I already tried ODIN with several stock PDA files, root with CWM and philtouch, but nothing happens. Everything is passed but there is no change on the about devices after the reboot. Then it continue the endless restart again.
When i boot in original recovery, there is an error already. if i flash zip file root, there is an error in signature.
Please help me brothers and sisters.
Any luck figuring this problem out?

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.
My sister said she spilled a little water on the screen of her phone the other day and it started boot looping.
Ive been trying to reflash it, but there are some issues...
If the phone is plugged in, it will cycle the charging battery on and off... unable to get into download or recovery.
If its not, it used to show the galaxy boot screen and turn on and off... now it just stays frozen on that screen. In either instance i was unable to get into recovery or download mode.
I got into recovery a couple of times when it actually booted the ROM, but everytime i would use the power button to try to make a selection the phone would just reboot and go into a cycle again.
I also got it into download mode once through the ROM but it cant get the ROM to boot anymore...
I might be able to get it into recovery but when i do it just reboots when i select anything.
and help would be awesome
thanks.
OH, when i actually got the ROM to boot it would throw an array of system errors and force closes. I also think the water had nothing to do with it and something she did after the water is what started causing the problems
I got recovery and i flashed a new kernal and ROM and erased everything and its still freezing at first Galaxy boot screen.
probably because the phone is water damaged?
See if the guide in the second link of my signature will help.
Thanks ill give it a shot.
But a major problem is that i am unable to get it to boot into download mode.
So i got CWM to boot, and i reflashed the kernal and ROM, with no luck.
CWM read catch error. Unable to mount... format... ect...
From what ive been reading the internal catch is fried....
Anyone have a motherboard they want to ship me? LOL :laugh:
Thanks lumin30, I finally found a way to get the phone into download mode. (take the battery out, Put it back in, hold buttons, plug USB in, press power button) after a few reboots it would finally go.
I followed the link and got it back to stock and it booted. Now letting it sit to settle in and hopefully it will be functional again.
This thread can be deleted! :good:
ok people...in need of help.
back story, my phone has been force closing and freezing frequently, but this is not unusual with this model phone....infuse 4g AT&T....i would have to restart my phone at least 4 or 5 times a day. that's not why i'm posting though... last night around 4am i used my phone for the last time before i went to sleep. it had 100% charge. today when i woke up it was on the samsung logo. i tried to restart for like half an hour trying various methods, hard boot, taking out battery, etc. nothing. still on samsung logo. then i tried to enter recovery and wipe/format.... kept getting an error...all options chosen kept giving me a fail to execute message. last resort, i tried to restore to stock using odin. i did this twice, first time with the re-partition checked (it got stuck), second time without it checked (worked, installed stock rom but still stuck on samsung logo) third time with re-partition checked and it got through the installation just fine, all passes all green lights. phone still boot loops but now not at samsung logo, at "rethink possible" screen. i try to go to ui menu before booting and i cant, it just takes me to recovery where none of the options work. i'll upload the screen that i get when i try to install or select any option. any help appreciated!

Hi all,
Firstly I apologise for actually posting as I've spent a week trying to not be a twat and to fix it myself but alas I'm at the end of my tether.
OK I have a Tab 2 10.1 P5100 (thus with sim). I originally got it about 3 years ago in Poland and their OTAs are about as frequent as, well, they never happened. So, over the years whilst working there I flashed via Odin various official updates to get it up to scratch. Last one being Jelly Bean.
Everything has been fine until a week ago when suddenly it would boot, get to the log in screen, let me enter my pin, work for 10 seconds and then suddenly reboot. It's an endless loop but it's not stuck on booting up it just crashes ONCE started up fully.
It won't connect to Kies. Now, this is probably the rubbish cable (This is the third official cable in 3 years I've goe thru). The system restore option from manual booting does nothing and wipes nothing so I've been trying to just load an official ROM from the SD..that does nothing.
It starts to install and then goes back to the "no command" screen.
Can I simply download something onto the SD and install from there? the zip files I keep trying dont work.
Any advice is appreciated!
I read in the thread guide that i should do this. just ignore it if i'm wrong.
Device: Samsung galaxy s6 edge SMG925f
Rom name: idk i can't even go to the home screen
Rom veersion: idk i can't evn go to the home screen
Build number: idk but i flashed an md5 file with the name G925FXXS5DQJ1_G925FOLB4DQJ1_G925FXXU5DPL6_HOME.tar
Rooted:????
no mods, i remember flashing twrp though
Okay to the problem,(sorry for my bad english) so my mom gave me a broken galaxy s6 edge if i fixed it then it's mine! but the problem is i can't ,it's been seven days since the first day i'm fixing this device.
at first it was stuck in a bootloop and 98% chance it will freeze during booting when it freezez it sometimes create lines of corrupted pixels i just press vol down + power to reboot.
I researched how to fix it and did a factory reset and wipe cache but still not working.
So i figured out i need to download a firmware to fix, so i downloaded one and it took two days because of the slow free download and frequent fails. i tried to flash it and i realised i downloaded the wrong one, so i downloaded one again and it took me a day. after that i tried to flash it using odin 3.12 and it fails during flashing 99% percent of the time because of the constant freezez and i need to press vol down + power for 1 minute for it to reboot now if i'm very lucky the flash will complete BUT during installation it froze at 24% so i flashed it again for the second time, that took 8 hours. and suddenly it to complete the flashing and installation BUT, upon completion it sudddenly says something like "No drk please install drk" i was completely infuriated and upon hours of research i found a tutorial where i need to flash auto chainfire so i did it, and it doesn't work it just cause bootloops
so after that i researcheed again and found this file kernel_G925f sforum i flashed it. and upon reboot it says 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing' ,and it's not yet fixed it just cause bootloops and sometimes freeze on unfinished samsung logo animation.
I am now trying to flash firmware again to see if it could get fixed. every hour i am losing hope.
If theres any tips i could get that would be good.
If i fixed this s6 it'll be the biggest achievement of my life and own my first working smartphone.
