It was stuck at samsung screen, I forgot to wipe data between ROMs

this has happening to me before several times when I first started flashing. what I did was find a stock recovery tar. in the developmental section of this forum and boot into download mode and flash through odin or heimdall which ever you use...

Thanks, I downloaded UEBLG5 firmware somewhere else and flashed it, the problem was I just forgot to wipe data, so I went into recovery afterwards.

HELP after downgrade from ICS to GB my phone doesn't start!

Hay guys. Please help me. Some days ago i flashed my phone with 4.0.4 by Kies and everything was ok but after some days using ICS i was totally disappointed from it and decide to back my perfectly working 2.3.6 (Ausrian rom) with which i was before. But now after flashing it with Odin my phone stays on the first screen (Choose lang.) and than some messages start to shows up saying some google services can't start and after some seconds the phone restarts and all repeats again. PLEASE HELP if it's possible! Thanks in advance!!

You do not need to flash cwm.

Or you can flash cwm.
Then u can recovery from the backup.
For my experience, I encouter the same things as u (downgrade to gb, can't bpot).
What I do is listed below:
1. power off phone.
2. power on phone and press home+volume up to enter one mode (I don't how to name it. Also, the mode is like cwm, but only few functon)
3. select factory reset. select cache……
4. then u can reboot to a clean gb systen
5. flash cwm via odin and recovery it to the backup I made before flash ics.

Thank You! For Your All Suggestions And Help... I finally fix it. the download mode is now working. And I flashed the stock rom. Special Thanks to @CoreGuy @AnsleyC :good::laugh:

You could have just pushed the stock build.prop with adb without losing any data. But anyways, Nice to know that your phone is now fixed.. :laugh::laugh:

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 not booting

So I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, GT-P3100 with Jellybeans 4.1.2. I recently rooted it using Kingroot. It worked fine until I tried installing a custom kernel. I installed unofficial miui v5.4 using CVM Recovery v6.0.7 I think. I clicked install from sd card and installed the .zip file. It said installed after a few mind. I then clicked reboot device now. It started booting and showed a new boot image, which I thought was normal. But the image wasn't fitting in the screen. I waited full 30 mins and it stayed there, a light coming and going as a logo. Nothing happened, so I pressed the key combination of power button + volume up button for 5 seconds and it started again, showing the new symbol. It has not booted after an hour and half.
Please help, I don't know what to do.
I admit I am a little new in this. But I saw a website to tomsguide.com and followed the steps with pictures.​

So I think you flashed a incompatible Rom on your tab 2, well the only way to get it back booting is to try restoring it back to stock firmware, just Google how to restore tab 2 to stock, and follow the video on the channel droid cheats but yeah if you have got pretty fast internet and don't want to spend entire life downloading that 1GB file go the general discussion of the tab 2 7.0 forum here and scroll down you will find a thread named fast download link stock firmware I think it should be something like that and download the one made for p3100, want more help comment below

The person who posted it on the site said "THIS IS ONLY FOR P3100! P3110 WILL BE RELEASED LATER BASED ON HOW THIS ONE TURNS OUT" and i have a P3100!
And also, my device is not booting! How will i restore to stock firmware? And, I did a nandroid backup and stored it on my PC. Does that mean i can either restore through the backup, or get my data after restore to stock firmware?​

Warning!!
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications.
If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key.
Otherwise, press volume down to cancel.
So, shouldI press volume up?​

No you can't because Odin can only work with Tar.md5 files and using something else like zip files will cause trouble a lot of trouble and yeah sometimes I forgot to check xda so sorry for late reply by the way what's your age because you sound little bit childish

hello sir,
i know how to solve your problem.
the problem you are facing is a boot loop .i.e you get stuck in the boot logo
and your device never goes further.
the common reason is not clearing dalvik cache before flashing a new rom in recovery.
so now solve this problem follow these steps.
1. charge your device fully and go to recovery.
2. do the following-
do a factory data reset.
clear cache and go to advanced and clear dalvik cache.
now flash the kernel and rom and the gapps(if you have).
now reboot and see you will go through the boot logo .
HURRAY YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED YOUR NEW ROM
NOTE: all the steps above are only to practice in CWM Recovery.
if you still have any problems let mw know.
thanks
