Is there anyway to get out of this. It only shows the Samsung Galaxy Tab Logo, I can also get into recovery. I tried to wipe everything to see if it would boot up, but its still stuck on the startup screen. Any help would be much appreciated!!

this is very easy to fix fortunately you have not hard bricked LOL now follow my steps....
step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.
step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop
step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)
step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)
step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot
step6. sit back and enjoy lol.
thank me if it helps.

soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus
I have the same problem as described by kaizasoshi on a GT-P6210 (WIFI only model) and can get to download mode. I haven't been able to find a copy of Odin 1.8 to download so I have Odin 4.0.3 - hopefully that'll work. The megaupload link for Odin 1.8 gives you software Odin 1.8.2 which turns out to be some sort of MRI operating software.
I used the link provided in the response for the GT-P6200 model, did a search, and I can't find the firmware file for the P6210 anywhere on the site. I found a file elsewhere on XDA supposedly is the firmware file for my model P6210 and when adding to PDA I get an error "Invalid Image File Type" The file name that I found is named GT-P6210_XAR_P6210UEKL1_P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1\P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5
Does this sound right? Does anyone have any guidance for me (besides stop bricking my Tab)? Thanks
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
Well I found a version of Odin 1.8 and it took the tar file without an error message. I started flashing the file to my P6210 and it went well for a couple of minutes (about half a green bar in the first block). Then something went wrong and ODIN started alternating the below messages:
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
And while showing the above, the P6210 screen started alternating between a black screen and the below message:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I watched this continue for over an hour in this loop (no progress on the green bar), then disconnected and reconnected the P6210. I launched Kies and tried troubleshooting but just got the alternating screen again on the P6210 and starts and stops of Kies troubleshooting. It looks like it's pretty hosed. Any suggestions?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, the only thing I've done to the tablet was do a one step root about 3 months ago and I think two product updates afterwards (reapplied the root after each). The tablet ran OK but I started getting the auto shutdowns other have gotten, along with several instances of a warm battery and high battery rates of consumption. It didn't behave this way all the time. Finally two days ago, while on the charge,r I found it locked into the Tab startup screen. I could get it to boot into recovery but kept getting lots of red error messages, like it was looking for files that weren't there, then I'd reboot and it would go back to the locked startup screen.
Can you get into recovery by holding up and power on (release power after it boots, but hold volume up)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
Yes I can get to recovery now. Since my previous post, I recharged unit overnight and attempted to reflash OS. This time, Odin runs all the way until the first green box says PASS! Odin Message box says <OSM> All threads completed (succeed 1/failed 0). Then message box cycles thru ID 0/004 Removed ID 0/005 added!! then ID 0/005 Removed!!, then ID 0/005 Added!!
At this point Odin doesn't do anything else. The P6210 then starts giving a bunch of failed messages - failed to mount cache(no such file or directory), Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, then goes into Manual Mode then message failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) install application for customer: Can't mount /efs copy application failed. Then meesage Applying multi CSC then failed to mount /efs, then multi_csc can't mount/efs
Then multi-csc applied failed.then more messages on failing to mount cache can't mount cache recovery log/last log
Then at this point the top of the screen offers rebot/apply update from sd/wipe data-factory reset/wipe cache partition. Through all of this I have not unplugged the P6210 from the PC.
I select reboot system now and press power button (still connected)
Get a bunch more messages about cant open cache recovery log. Then it goes to the Samsung Galaxy tab screen and just hangs.
It seems there's some files missing that is causing the unit to hang.
added/removed sounds like could be faulty wire connection.
which firmware are you trying to flash may we ask?
May be useful to find a .pit file with stock firmware, if there are any around for your device.

I've also tried changing the usb/samsung cable from aftermarket to OEM and changing USB port used on PC. Reflashed PDA file, No change. The reflash appears to complete but is followed by the error messages identified previously. The file I'm attempting to flash w/Odin 1.85 is named P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. The file is 894.011 MB. I've downloaded it twice and no difference in flash result. I'm not having any luck finding a PIT file for the P6210.
Still looking for PIT file.

May I ask what you did to soft brick? Be good learning experience for everyone. Thanks.
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
I've also found these 3 other files associated with the P6210. They are:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
Would loading these files via Odin possibly help with my problem? I'm not sure which files would be loaded for the different parameters (PIT, BOOTLOADER, etc). It appears the CSC file would be loaded for CSC.
PS: I don't know what happened with kaizasoshi as far as how his TAB problem initiated, but mine had been experiencing SOD, auto shutdowns and warm battery when plugged into charger over night for the previous several weeks. I picked it up one morning off the charger and the P6210 was frozen on the startup screen and wouldn't finish boot or shut down. It would go into recovery using the power and volume switches.
hi all, i have the same similar problem as TS but mine's a P6200 tab, heard that i need a pit file & the firmware ver(singapore) to flash it...
where do i get those files including odin? i got the firmware via sammobile.com, but no idea to get the pit & odin files,... will any kind souls direct me to them?
I found a PIT file a few days ago, supposedly for the P6200 using Google. I don't know if it works or not. I have a P6210, so I don't think I can use a P6200 PIT.
PIT Link:

ODIN Link:
http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_Odin#Samsung_Odin3_download_links
Pick a version. 1.81 and 1.85 seem popular.
any new updates on this? im having the exact same problem and have tried all the previously mentioned files through Odin with no positive results. any help would be appreciated. i have a US version 6210
yeah.. dont flash a tab plus firmware unless you're sure its for your specific model
either T869-Tmobile/WifiGT-P6210/or G version GT-P6200. If youve flashed the previously mention files, you've probably done some serious damage.
Best option now: Find a device specific firmware WITH a .pit file, flash with Odin/Heimdall with fngers crossed.
Other options: tell them you hooked it up to iTunes to sync your media.. lololol
hope you get warrantied..

well that just sucks!! honestly with all the SODs and reboots i just wish samsung would give me my $350 because this thing hasnt worked well from the begining. guess its back to samsung
Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
OK, Ive been without my note for a whole day and been researching wht to do nonstop
What happened to me was that, since i had updated to official kitkat, i soon developed a taste for lollipop, and went on to try out different ROMs and finally settled on to crDroid
So it was one of those days where everything was going well until the note stopped opening apps for like a minute then showd a black screen and then all of a sudden restarted
Since this was a Sammy i thought it would get back up again.... But no, even a 5 minute didnt wake this beast up, it remained stuck at the boot logo, i.e, Samasung Galaxy Note 10.1
Im like ok ill go on do a factory reset and wipe cache and all, upon trying to accesss the recovery after the boot logo the recovery kinda opens then gets back at boot logo, a black screen shows up then turns on to be a full brightness black screen for a sec then goes back
I can access the download mode and can odin things but they fail every single time.
I have tried to odin a recovery and a stock recovery so far and they show a nand write error
i also have tried to PIT but they get stuck at get PIT for mapping
I have also tried all versions of odin tried changing a USB Port and the wire with no success
So is there any hope for my NOTE??
Please i need help its urgent

i have the same problem from 2 months and i am finally got that i must replace the motherboard
Sounds like its written its last, flash is dead.
Since you are able to enter in download mode there is hope. Trying to flash recovery which doesn't match the firmware version will always fail. So, try flashing some of the base firmwares which will return everything to stock. I was in your situation few months ago and managed to flash Android Revolution HD 4.4.2 after first flashing stock firmware via odin. I got my 4.4.2 base firmware from "sammobile.com", firmware section (sorry i don't have enough posts for using links).
I remember i tried flashing TWRP for GT N8000 and i also tried Philz then CWM all for GT N8000
I also tried flashing base rom but it gives NAND write fail
Nand write fail can mean damaged PIT or the actual nand memory is damaged and needs a new motherboard .
flash with pit file
found these pit files for the device.
you can flash the pit file for GT-N8000 in odin
don't forget to repartition, it's a very delicate situation, you don't want to mess it up, before going to this, you should confirm if the size are same. you wont like to flash a 16gb to 32gb partition.

same problem for me, this did not work, still write error
I have a similar problem. Everything is stuck. I am tryingo to go back to stock, but if I try to connect (via Odin, Heimdall, fastbot or adb sideload) i can't.
Is there any advice?
Thanks
nope not yet
I'm early ???
So it turned out that my AMAZING tablet had its storage device corrupted... I. E I exceeded the read write count
Similar problem Bricked N8005
I bought my N8005 (variant of N8000 but phone is disabled just data 3G is available) in 2012. I rooted it once and used custom rom for a while but last year installed official stock ROM again. Yesterday I started a game called "zombidle" (possibly this is an unnecessary info) and tablet restarted itself but stuck on "samsung" logo.
I tried to enter recovery mode but it always restarted and cannot enter recovery mode.
Tried to install different versions of CWM, Philz and TWRP recovery using odin but it always FAILed when NANDwrite started. Tried odin 1.85, 1.87, 3.07, 3.09, 3.12 but all same.
I tried to install same stock ROM but always FAILed.
Then I tried to install a custom rom but it failed too.
I read about bad pit files. Searched internet and found some pit files but nothing changed, FAILed at same point.
Did I finished all solutions?
Should I take it to the doctor?
Any sugesstions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Today I took it to the Samsung doctors. They said that; this is a mainboard issue and mainboard needs to be changed. That will be over 400TL (TL=Turkish Lira). Device is still in markets and new N8005 is 1300TL (i think this is also expensive. Because new Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T817 32GB 9.7" is 1900TL in my country).
Does it worth to fix? Any opinions? Can I fix it myself somehow?
Nand write fail probable defunct memory.
Hi all..or anyone out there
I have had the seemingly strange bootloop problem on my stock note N8010...which stuck on the dreaded "samsung galaxy note 10.1" and only has odin feature working. (and no factory reset options because I think the poor old tab is crammed to bursting with apps, files and cache and so had a meltdown) poor thing.
so anyway I check these sites of techie wonder and wisdom and followed every logical option..starting with the simple ones
first ran power down and tried to boot up (x3) with no joy, then take apart the tablet to disconnect / reconnect the battery and boot up (x3) still no change.
So went and got the firmware from samwares (both jelly bean and kitkat) to then flash through odin....tried and failed first because of dodgy cable, but the then got a new one...and joy of joys (at first) odin recognised my tab and the firmware flashed across with pass..but then auto rebooted straight back into the dreaded samsung 10.1 again....so tried different versions of odins... and tried other global n8010 firmware...but funnily and frustratingly then all fully download and pass in odin (and the andoid logo and green download status bar on the tablet seems to shown that downloading is and has fully taken place.... but the darn thing still wont boot up past the samsung galaxy note 10.1
Sadly coming to the ends of my tether (of so many nearly there false hopes, high and lows) and very little cash to send it to the Sami tech bods doesnt help matter....I then read and tried the (supposed) last resort pit file/firmware option...first with kitkat (as apparently that worked for someone somewhere) and then tried with jelly bean..again each time itAlways passes in odin.... but auto reboots into the dreaded bootloop logo .... to haunt and torment me.. Aaaaagh!!!!.....I would not mind if it said action failed (for once) like some others seem to experiencet...but it always passes in ODIN????
So.....have come to the semi ignorant conclusion it is either the bootloader section of the tablet or the original software that is messed up or some internal hardware component has a fault.
but was wondering if there is anthing left to try...or would it potentially be possible or worth trying to root a tablet in this condition?
As although I have not ventured into the wild worlds of rooting.....I am now pretty confident of messing with this tablets mind..and have little to lose...so any further ideas and help would be great.
Exact same here. Never flashed, totally stock N8010. My wife hadn't used it for a couple of weeks. So she grabs it again and it was off. booted to nothing but the boot logo. Nothing worked except Download mode.
Flashing stock roms has Odin reporting success, but it still won't boot up. Trying re-Partition does give a fail as soon as I press start.
And we aren't alone. It appears there are quite a few of these cases. I have no idea how to solve this.
I have done a bit of rom flashing on my old galaxy S (the first one) and bootloaders and such usually were included in a ROM. Rooting was done with Recovery or an app and I think it was also possible with adb, IIRC (it's been a while).
It's my wife's Note and she's starting to scope out mini iPads...
Same problem with GT-N8010
I am also having the same problem.
I tried to upload a new ROM via ODIN. All was successful from the ODIN app (PASSED). but stuck on the boot screen. Power and Vol up does not work (it appears to but then crashes out to the boot screen again) so no way to do a hard factory reset.
Volume down/power does work and allows you to get to Odin mode. but as above, uploading a new ROM does not seem to work.
This is an un-rooted GT-N8010 with the stock ROM when I purchased it back in 2013 I believe.
Come on guys, give us some ideas.
Thanks
Gene
Sounds like wrong model firmware flashed as that's the usual bootloop problem .
Try Odin firmware flash wait to passed then remove battery for a short while and replace and try recovery mode .
In my case there is no incompatible firmware issue... The tablet just stopped working one morning and that was that.
Can't comment on the other posters though.

My wife's the same. Never done anything to it. No idea how to remove the battery. I let the battery run down once, then recharged it, made no difference.
That was before trying to flash the new firmware. My Note says N8010 on the back, it says so in the download mode. I got a firmware from SamMobile for the N8010. Don't know what else I can do.

stuck on samsung galaxy note screen .. cannot get recovery mode
Any help guys?
Hey Folks,
So as the title says... I'm lost and with a bootloop's fan with is a softbrick by now.
About my phone:
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 SCH-I535 from 2012
Acquired with Jelly 4.3 and root it with towelroot and SuperSU so I could use it abroad. Upgraded it using the Verizon Upgraded tool to Kitkat 4.4.2 and everything was fine.
The Story:
I encountered an issue with my apps (Fb, German Bahn and Whatssapp to mention the first ones). Facebook was completely wiped out on its own and I had to install it again. The other apps their icons turned into the Android Icon and although I could use whatsapp to receive calls, I couldn't open it and I had to uninstall it. Said this I lost my whatsapp ID because of my number being different and my being abroad. I got a few new apps to solve that but once resintalling Whatsapp it told me to erase a task killer app (Battery Doctor) and I did. Two to three hours after my phone restarted itself and told me I had to factory reset which freaked me out and I looked for information to avoid this. I found none but a good recovery tool for numbers and messages.
I confronted the factory reset button like a man and nothing happened. Just bloop bloops.
I've tried flashing it with Odin and I followed so many instructions with must of them failing to some spot (NAND write FAIL!, cache.img.ex2-3-4 NOT Auth, and at some point I tar(ed) and untar(ed) my tar.md5 files and remade them in certain order I found in a post here about solving the NAND Write issues. Part of it included ticking the "NAND erase all" (which I fear by now already deleted the data I so much wanted to keep) and remake them my files with extension xxx.img for all the important ones but xxx.bin and xxx.mbn.
I succesfully flashed a recovery.img from a file called "Verizon_SCH-I535-StockRecovery.tar" (you can find it online) but now it won't even let me get to the factory reset screen and automatically reboots itself.
NOTE: it never gave me the menu option in recovery mode because it would restart. But when I didn't try to go into recovery mode I would see the factory reset screen. I am not sure what happened there.
PLEASE, I've been 5 days working on this and I also encountered issues with my laptop after downloading so many ROMs and Odin versions but I was able to fix that.
Any ideas?
List of ROMs I've tried flashing to no avail.
-ROM for my phone getting into Jelly 4.3
-ROM for my phone for Kitkat 4.4.2
-BOOTLOADER-I535VRALF2-618049-REV09-user-low-ship-tar.md5
-i535VRUDNE1_I535VZWDNE1_I535VRUDNE1_HOME.tar.md5
-openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-d2vzw.tar
-StockVerizonGalaxyS3WithRoot.zip
-stock.vzw_root66.tar --> here the issues where the cache.img.ext4 which I changed the just -.img, -.img.ext2, -.img.ex3 and nothing happened.
Did create a tar file with the recovery.img of the stock.vzw_root66.tar file and it did work for flashing on the PDA but when it restarted I am still in a bootloop after getting into recovery mode within 4-5 seconds.
NOTE about RECOVERY MODE:
I don't have any menu to work with the sequences of holding POWER button and pressing VOLUME UP once and releasing didn't work. Neither the other way around. Tried also with POWER, VOLUME UP and HOME and I get a seemingly working Android figure during one second and then turns into the dead Android one for 4-5 secs and restarts.
Succesful ones but with no change for better or for worse:
-VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5
-Said before recovery.img from the stock.vzw_root66.tar file
AND the pitfile for my phone SCH-I535_D2VZW_16gd.pit (Which I already used and gets me the PASS word... but nothing else)
Please can any one help me fix it? I looked the the right ROM several times and still not working. Should I just turn into a different OS other than Kitkat and/or Jelly? I haven't tried upgrading to Lollipop yet but I am thinking/fearing it might be a solution.
To Sum up,
- Recovery mode doesn't give me any option
- My phone reboots itself on recovery mode - checked all the buttons and I took them off even but still does.
- I can go into ODIN mode and stays there all day!
On ODIN mode it says:
PRODUCT NAME: SCH-I535
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
BOOTLOADER RP SWREV: 2
ODIN fails to flash any WHOLE ROM file and just can "flash" the PIT and two different recovery.img (the latest from the stock.vzw_roo66.tar file.
Hope this doesn't give anyone a headache after reading it!
