[Q] 'Brick'd Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5110 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
My sister-in-law did an automatic update on her Tab 2 to 4.2.2 - when this finished she had no Home, Back, etc. buttons on the screen, this model does not have them on the bezel. Kies said that it had the latest and correct software for that model. I downloaded Odin and a single .tar file that purported to be a 4.0.1 for that device. However, when I attempted to flash this to the device it crashed straight away with a write error and the tablet now just has a permanent
Firmware upgrade encountered
an issue Please select recovery mode in
Kies and try again​
Kies will not connect to the device, despite multiple attempts and several driver installs - Odin will connect to the device, but will not write to it... I need some help to resolve this please.

Fixed
I found another (obviously correct) system image that flashed on with Odin - problem solved...

[Q] Bricked Note 10.1 N8010 PLEASE HELP !!!

Tried to update the firmware to JB, but ODIN failed half way through.. tried several times with stock firmware as well as N8000 firmware, but same result. drivers are installed and present.
tried Kies several times from emergency restore, but allthough it detects the Note, it cant connect to it... tried different computers but with no success.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...
Many thanks
Update via Odin with KIES off make sure its not running .
jje
First of all get an 8010 firmware and try to install that if you already have it the suggest get it from samfirmware and also download the firmware for your region.
If ODIN is connecting to your tab then the issue is not with drivers most probably there is an issue with the copy of firmware you downloaded just download it again.
I do not think updating while kies is on is such a big issue I never face any issue but may be it was connected to kies anyways just to be safe exit kies
Open task manager and kill all kies related stuff, if you just close it you will have some processes running. Only after that start odin and get on flashing whatever you have.

[Q] brick ??!

Hi everyone,
I have currently some big issue with my GT-N8010.
My custom rom wasn't running very well so I decided to reset my tablet and go back to a new fresh installation.
I downloaded the latest firmware of the tablet on sammobile and started to update it with Odin PC, but in the middle of the transfert I got an error and now my tablet is stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.".
I have no idea how to fix it! And I can't go back to download mode anymore. On top of that, my tablet seems not to be recognize by my computer (I tried to install Kies and the samsung usb driver several times but it keeps saying that's the driver is not ok)...
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance!
What custom rom did you had ? 4.4.2 or 4.1.2 ?

It was a 4.1.2 (HD Revolution) and I tried to flash with odin the N8010XXUCMK2_N8010XSACNA2_XSA
First uninstall kies and all usb drivers. Restart your computer.
If you can get in download mode (power+volume down then volume up when asked) :
Install some drivers from the sticky topics here on xda. Download the firmware again from another location if possible. Use a different usb port.
If you can't get in download mode, you have to try with kies. I never had success whit it, and i really need it. But it says that n8010 does not support initializing or something like that. Maybe someone else can help with kies.

I don't know where it comes from...
I tried everything, uninstall/reinstall Kies/Usb driver, put a VM with Win7 (As I am under Windows 8.1), put Win7 in dual boot to maybe fix the compatibility issue but nothing seems to work! And of course I don't have any other computer to use...
That's maybe the reason the tablet get broken as I used to use Odin on another PC and I didn't check if the usb driver was installed on this one??
I just know that Odin recognized my tablet so I was able to launch the installation of the new firmware.
I feel really bad...Hope the tablet is not definitly dead!
Faulty USB cable perhaps ?

Ok so I went to a Samsung store and they told me that I have to send my tablet to the repair center in the country where I bought the device.
It's a big issue for me as I am now living in Australia and my tablet has been bought in France.
On top of that the guy from Samsung explained me that now it's normal if my tablet is not any longer recognize by my computer...
I heard about JTAG, I don't have any idea about the subject but may it fix my problem?
Does someone know how samsung is able to fix the tablet, so I may fix it myself instead of sending to them...?

[Q] FIrmware upgrade encountered an issue

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help me with my non-rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Tablet (GT-P110). The tablet won't go into download or recovery mode, and it's saying "Firmware Upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES and try again". I've tried using Kies, but it's not recognising the device.
I've downloaded Odin 3.09 and a stock ROM from Samsung Updates. When I go to flash the ROM via ODIN it fails at around the 60-70% mark. I've tried a different stock ROM, but the same thing happens.
Is there anything else I could try?
Many Thanks...

Try a different cable if possible, different pc/laptop and go to samsung website and download drivers for your tablet model. Sometimes Kies doesn't do a good job with drivers.
Try rebooting tablet and connecting it right away to pc/laptop.
Good luck.

I have tried a different cable, laptop and downloaded the drivers from the Samsung website, but I was still stuck with the same problem. I tried using Odin 3.07 and this got me further than before. It went through the flash process and I then got the blue reset message. The problem is that the tablet doesn't reset and just goes to a black screen. When I try to manually reset the tablet it comes back with the same message "Firmware Upgrade encountered an Issue. Please select recovery mode in KIES and try again"
Has anyone got any other suggestions I could try?
Many Thanks...
I've had the exact same issue before and in my case simply removing the external sd card before flashing with Odin solved the problem.

I never thought of that because I keep a nandroid copy on my external SD, so I always pull it from my phone or tablet when flashing /reset just to be safe. Doesn't everyone do that?

N8010 Problems

Hi,
Figured id start off by explaining the history on my Samsung Note N8010
A while back i installed Hyperdrive Rom RS8 (i think), no problems, flawless. However it did change my device id to an N8013, not sure why.
Recently i wanted to use SkyGo Tablet app, however root cloak and Voodoo does not cloak SkyGo Tablet app on this specific rom so i figured id revert back to the original 4.1.2 stock.
I used Mobile Odin, grabbed the zip/tar from the Sam-mobile and hit go.
On reboot, it would not load in, stuck on the Samsung Note 10.1 splash. I do have access to download mode and recovery mode, but it's labelled Android System Reocvery <3e>.
It is worth noting that USB debug did not work on Hyperdrive, so currently no matter what computer i connect this tablet to Odin, Kies or anything will not see it.
When trying to "apply update from sd card" i get E:\ mount problems, it pretty much fails every time.
Any suggestions?

The original issue is probably one of two things. If you downloaded the rom directly to your device its Likely a bad download. DID YOU CHECK MD5 Before flashing. There are also limitations to Mobile odin.
What i would suggest is to uninstall Kies . Make sure you have no other android devices installed on your computer .Download the older version again from Samsung website. Install on your computer. Download odin again i think you want the one a version back as well NOT Latest.
Reboot into download mode. Run odin. if it still does not see your device check Device manager and see if its showing up with a yellow mark. Look for a post i made last week explaining how to correct usb driver for windows.. Download mode should work with out usb debug on if i remember correctly..

Hi, cheers for the response,
I have tried all of what you have said but unfortunately no PC will see my device, not even an "unrecognized device". I have access to android system reocvery <e3> and Download mode (Odin) but the pc just won't recognized, tried new leads and so forth, nothing.

Rooting Problem - Chinese Stock ROM

I have been trying to root my galaxy note pro 12.2 that I have received for work (in China so Chinese ROM), simply so I can install the Play Store, I am following the below procedure:
http://androidcentral.us/2014/03/root-samsung-galaxy-note-pro-12-2/
I have the wifi version so I am using the SM-900 CF-root.
Kies is installed, debugging mode set on USB.
But I keep getting the error in Odin:
complete(write) operation failed
I am suspecting its something to do with the connection via USB, I have some problems with transferring files to the pad. I am unable to check the "media device" option under USB connection settings, Kies has been able to restore my pad after the flash fails but it doesn't find my device, it has suggested I use Smart Switch but I dont agree to Samsung collection my personal information when i connect the pad to my PC so I cant use that. I had already downloaded the Samsung drivers for USB but I have never really had much success with the samsung drivers to be honest (had an S3 for several years).
All I want to do is run Play store and transfer files via USB
I am also using windows 7.
Your help will be appreciated.
Try uinstalling the usb drivers and reinstall. Do the same with kies, turn off all Anti virus as well.
Have you tried Towelroot?

* Does you've enabled USB-Debug in the developer settings ?
* Does you've kicked Kies out of Memory, before you try it ?
* Does you've boot your device into Fastboot, before you try Auto-root ?
* If Odin is crashed during the prozess, use Odin 3.10.x ?

* Second time I tried yes, this was the obvious cause for my first failure but still got the same error on the 2nd try
* No, how to do this?
* Fastboot? Auto root?
* Odin isnt crashing its just failing to write, I have tried 3.07 and 3.09, both with the same result.
I have managed to flash an Australian rom onto the tablet which has solved my play store problem which was the main reason for rooting in the first place, I may try to root this one in the future but I really dont have the knowledge about this to be confident, plus I have already voided the warranty on a brand new tablet just to get the Play store working so I am not too keen on messing with things any further.
Thanks for the suggestions anyway.
What does you see on the screen from the tablet till the Problem occurred?

During the flash at some point the screen on the tablet would have yellow and white vertical strips across the screen, then I would see failed in Odin.
After that The screen would just say "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". From there I would have to power off then quickly get into download mode or the tablet will just turn on again with the above message. I recovered once through Kies, then I flashed the Australian ROM with Odin and that solved my problem, but haven't tried to root since.
