Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!
Big problems with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.
Hi
I just got my Galaxy Note 10.1, model number N8005. It's the model that is sold in Turkey, has 3G&WiFi connectivity but can't make phone calls.
I'm really sorry before if this question had already been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Anyway, after unboxing it I decided to update the android version to the 4.1 Jelly Bean directly, by using the German rom.
The process in Odin start smoothly until it starts to install the modem.bin file and then it fails. I tried repeating the installation process about 5 times, changing usb ports, restarting computers, and it still fails at modem.bin. I forgot to take screenshot but the modem.bin file is installed after the recovery.img and system.img.
The tablet won't boot up after this process, it only shows the update failed, please connect to Kies screen. Since I don't know what to do anymore, i tried rooting it by using Odin and magically it succeed and the tablet start up normally. I checked the android version and it shows 4.1.1
The tablet runs pretty normally, except that the S Note application won't start. Everytime I open it, it immediately force close.
What I want to ask is what is the cause of error Odin fails in installing modem.bin file? Is this okay since there are still some file that odin hasn't installed yet (hidden.img, boot.img, cache.img and modem.bin)? (Also is there any way to fix the S Note app so it would run normally again? Should I try installing other rom again using Odin?
I'm pretty scared to install rom using Odin again now
Thank you.

i got a s4 from my friend. he said he was doing a OTA update and the phone just cut off. now when he turns on the phone the galaxy s4 logo just keeps rebooting. i tried to root it to put cwm but it just keeps rebooting. But when i put it but odin tells me there is no pit partition.
i did further research and tried looking for the pit file of the galaxy gti9500. i found the pit file for a gti9500. the name of the file was called adonis.pit when i unzipped it. i dont know the baseband version of it to even download the factory imnage back on it. i tried everything.

my samsung tablet went through a tough time because it had no os and wasnt installing one so i went to odin and downloaded the stock rom then flashed it by odin while my tab was connected in download mode. suddenly the connection got unplugged while installing the new rom leaving me with a black screen. the real issue here is that i cant save my tab because it doesnt get to recovery nor download mode so im basically left with a useless piece of junk. i think there is a way to get it back because my computer recognizes it but odin doesnt. if i could get it to boot into download mode, i can get it back. but i dont know how...
my tab is samsung galaxt tab 3 lite sm t111.

I'm a newbie and I need some direction. Can someone please point me in the right direction to find a rom that will work on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SPH-P500 Sprint tablet? It has OS 4.1.2 on it now. I have Odin downloaded on my pc but can't seem to find a rom with a .tar extension which Odin needs to work. I tried a rom that didn't have a .tar ext. by putting it on the root of my tablet, but when I went into recovery mode, I couldn't find it. I put it on my external SD card and found it but got an error that said "Signature couldn't be verified". The reason I need to flash a new rom is because every time I connect to wifi, I get a lot of programs that download and install automatically. When I turn wifi off, it turns on automatically. Please help!!
Thanks
