Hey everyone, I'm using a GT-P5100 (3G + Wifi) O2 UK rooted tablet and for the last month it has been broken. It started rebooting itself randomly every now and then, and then suddenly it wouldn't even boot up for 15 seconds before it would restart itself again.
I am able to get into safe mode and I can get into the boot options, but when I factory reset it does nothing, I've tried from the boot menu, from safe-mode options and even from the dial up code.
I tried to connect my tablet to my PC as a media device and format it but that didn't work either; I can't connect it as a disk then format it that way because they took out 'mass storage mode' on this firmware.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin but every time I tried it would fail until I used Odin.v1.3, but guess what, it rebooted itself and my entire tablet is still exactly the same.
(the option was on AP ram in v1.3 not AP nand I don't know if that makes a difference.)
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it so much. I have been trying for weeks to fix this and I just don't know what to do anymore, I tried on another forum but nobody answered me.
Hi,
This would be best posted in your device section so the experts who own your device can help. I will request this be moved to here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Make sure kies is not running to use Odin. End all kies processes in your task manager on the pc.
Good luck!
Thank you very much I have posted it there instead ^^
Thank you. Thread closed.

i have tried to root my phone, then got error message about su has stopped, so i tried following directions to unroot, i have downloaded several stock firmwares, 1 worked and brought my phone back to OS 4.1.1, i thought it was fixed and unrooted, so i did software update, and now stuck on power up, i have tried to go back and download the 4.1.1 back on it with no success, i cant even get in recovery mode. i have tried kies, and that doesnt work, have searched and nothing is helping, or spending hours downloading stock firmware that does not work, it will either fail, and 2 of them do say pass, but phone still locked on power up. any help would def be appreciated

Keep in mind Odin will usually fail if Kies is running. End all kies processes in you pc's task manager.
Good luck!
Thank you. Thread closed.
My device is unlocked, rooted, and have CWM 6.0.5.4 installed. I flashed a few different ROMs and everything worked OK, untill, after a few different ROMs the phone just booted up and got stuck on the Welcome screen. So, there I can only choose a language and only place emergency call... Also, the phone connects to my network with good signal... What did I do wrong?
Factory reset / wipe data does not help. Also, i can connect to phone with ADB tools (on WIN 8), but cannot connect with Odin (tried a few different versions of Odin).
It's not an SIM card error, it works fine in another phone.
Hi,
You can review this tutorial on returning to stock, and see if you can connect after. If not, Sounds like a sim card, hardware or carrier issue.

If you have trouble with Odin after following the guide step by step, you will need to register on XDA and ask about your issue in the thread.
Good luck!
Hello,
T989- I rooted phone a year ago to tether. Other day hit factory reset, this soft bricked phone.
In bootloop, have access to download and setup screen (e.g. wipe catche, reboot, power off, etc.)
Have correct drives and tmobilegalaxys2rootICS.
Odin box yellow (com) starts to download, then stops.
What am I missing. I have another phone to live with, just what to learn.
Thanks

Hi guys have a bit of a problem with my tab,
I have tried to factory reset it as it was running slow. (never been rooted or touch from standard) and it has just sat me on a "Downloading... Do not turn off target" screen, for the past 15 hours!!
I have tried holding power button + Volume Down to get into a recovery mode but screen just flashes then pops up with the same message.
I have been looking through the internet at loads of different posts trying different things with no joy. Only hoping that with the post being relatively old now someone may have a new way to fix this issue.
Okay here is what i have found out to help anyone help me...
It is not connecting to Kies it registering a device there but eventually pops up with a message saying "device taking to long to respond".
It is registering in device manager (see picture)
Have tried to use one of the guides from here to go through Odin and upload Rom to it,
this is the rom i used : N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_HOME.tar.md5
When it was going through it said Failed to partition.
Did some more googling and searching and found a PIT file and tried again.
This failed.
Completely stuck now don't no what to do so any help would be great.
Hi there,
You'd be best served asking for help from the experts who own your device here:
Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
First read this thread: Guide - Installing Firmware, CWM recovery & Rooting
Good luck
Hi thanks for reading not sure if this is the correct place to post. I'm rather lost on my options and fear that I've essentially totaled my phone.
USB isn't recognized(yes I've updated drivers and confirmed my cord allows data transfer and tried with usb debugging on and off), this is a hand-me-down phone I received rooted, attempted to apply Cyanomod (successful but got the No SIM issue even though I could call and receive texts no data though) proceeded to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
However after installing the latest modem my phone went into soft brick - boot looping.
I then decided to wipe Cache - D.Cache - system - Data. After doing this over and over I accidentally wiped internal data as well (fixed this issue by buying a micro SD card today) So now I got all my .zips and roms back where I can still flash.
Still in a boot loop and have read that maybe my recovery (TWRP) could be the cause of this, seeing how I've basically wiped everything multiple times to try and get to the bottom of this.
Is there anyway I can use the Command Terminal IN TWRP to flash a newer version of TWRP ( because I had not used the latest TWRP )
If so can you please give me the command line in which I could use the .img of twrp-3.0.2-0-d2att.img and when going into the Command Terminal at what level should I select?
I really can NOT afford another phone atm and I'm very gracious for any help. I've watched and read many useless videos/articles over the last few days and can't seem to find a video that would involve not using a PC to use Odin.
P.S. - I'm also prepared to go back to stock everything if that's what's called for atm but first this boot loop is the issue. Thanks in advance.
