I'm having a bit of an issue with my SM-P900. I rooted using Odin 3.9, installed TWRP 2.7, and then tried to install custom rom. The custom room (Link Here) But, I noticed something a bit strange while it was installing, it was unable to mount cache, data, etc, but it showed to be successful so I didn't think anything of it. I tried to boot into it, got past the initial Samsung screen, but then afterwards it was just black. I reflashed TWRP 2.7 but nothing happened. I also tried reflashing a stock rom I found using Odin 3.9 which let my device go past the initial samsung screen and into the second one(the one with the sound) but it just hung there. I booted back into TWRP and found that now only data and storage are unable to mount.
I've been searching all day, and I'm stuck. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Hello everyone, I need help with my Galaxy Tab p5100.
Few days ago, I switched from CM 10.3, to SlimKat. To do so, I had to install the CWM 6.0.4.5. I did this through recovery mode (I had an earlier version and flashed the new version through the older one) and it worked just fine.
I unlocked the root feature, installed some apps, including the Xposed Module, Greenify and BootManager.
Everything was working just fine til yesterday. Before sleeping, I turned off the tab.
Today, and all of a sudden, as soon as I turned the tab on, it keept on rebooting every two minutes for no apparent reason. It just starts, boots into Slimkat, then it reboots.
At first I thought it might be a malfunctioning app, so I booted into safe mode, it stayed a little longer than 2 mins without a reboot, then it rebooted again. Tried that more than once.
I did a factory reset, wiped cache, cleared Dalvik and formatted system from the mount and storage section. Still the problem was there, and surprisingly all my apps and personal data was still there!!
Tried the back up and reset option from the ROM itself, while on safe mode, and still nothing happened.
I tried to flash CM 10.3 back via the CWM, it tells me that it succeeded, then I reboot and SlimKat is still there!
I tried to install the TWRP via Odin, and the Odin said PASS. Then when I rebooted into recovery I found that CWM 6.0.4.5 still there!!
I tried to flash the TWRP via the existing CWM, and again it says operation is successful but when I reboot into recovery I find that CWM is still taking over.
I even tried to flash the official JB 4.2.2 ROM via Odin, and it FAILED. (the P5100XXDMH1.tar file)
I feel pretty helpless and I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Update 1: I can delete an app or two before the tab restarts, and when I did and the tab restarted, the apps were restored!
Hi. Just got a Note2 which was running 4.4.2
I downloaded Odin3-v3.07 and got root access. I then used a checker to confirm.
From there, I used the TWRP Manager to install 2.8.7.0.
I think this is where things went wrong. I know I selected the correct phone model, but it gave me an error saying something went wrong ( I think it said something about me having the latest TWRP) . Then my phone rebooted and took me into TWRP.
I made a backup and tried to flash the CM12 rom for sgh-i317m.
That's when I noticed I couldn't get out of TWRP. Rebooting or pulling the battery has no effect. Phone keeps booting into TWRP. I tried wiping delvic cache, cache and other things, but no matter what I do I can't boot into the OS. I tried restoring and it says it was successful, but again am stuck in TWRP. I've now spent the last hour searching for a way to get out and still can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Notes:
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had forgotten to enable USB debugging when I was in my OS.
Another thing I noticed is when I open the terminal command, there's a running boot script error: E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with ERROR=1
Problem resolved: I booted into download mode and used Odin to root again. That seem to overwrite whatever was causing the Note 2 to be stuck booting into TWRP.
I enabled USB debugging and installed TWRP again. Got the same error but this time chose not to reboot into recovery. Then I rebooted manually, and the phone boots into the OS. I powered down and held Vol up + power + menu and released power button at Samsung logo, and was successful in booting into TWRP. Exited and rebooted took me back to the OS. So I'm not quite sure what it was the first time around that got me stuck into booting TWRP everytime.
Glad you got it fixed! :good:
I'll close this thread.
Long story short I was running latest nightly of cm13, I decided to flash to cm14 to try nougat. I had backups, during the process I pulled an idiot and wiped everything dalvik, system,data,internal storage,cache . So now I have no backups, I can still get into TWRP and attempt to flash Roms but I've tried countless ones and same outcome, TWRP just restarts half a second after it tries to flash, I've even tried the stock rom with no luck.it starts and gets to MTP enabled installing "name of rom" and then reboots . I've been using a tablet to install the Roms onto an sdcard and then using the sdcard to flash, I'm hoping it's an sdcard issue and I'm waiting to get the laptop to try and put the Roms on internal phone storage and try. I'm hoping I won't have to go back to unroofed stock using kdz tot. If anyone knows what's wrong please help.
Well I tried flashing to stock and can't get into download mode, computer won't recognize phone. So I decided to try updating Twrp flashed the image, rebooted and now I'm stuck on [11050] fast boot mode started. Nothing gets me out of that.
Hello guys.
Last time I rooted and installed a Custom ROM was like 7-8 years ago with CM5 or so. So I'm not really up to date.
On my K1 tablet, I wanted to install the CarbonROM. Tablet runs Nougat.
The Root was successful, used fastboot for TWRP recovery. (Version 3.1.1 and 3.0.2, tried both). As in many tutorials described I wiped data/cache before installing. Installed CarbonROM (latest version) + gapps micro for 7.1 then wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted.
System then was stuck in bootloop forever, waited about 20mins but nothing happend.
Managed to backup by hard-reboot into recovery/adb and flash twrp again. Tried this time with twrp version 3.0.2, same issue.
I know about the presence of "blob", whatever it is. But since a few guides use it, and few dont, I tried with once with it but managed to land in bootloop again.
Tried with CWM but it didnt even recognize my SD card, or confused the internal storage as sd card. Moved the CarbonROM to the internal storage then and tried to install it. After boot image there was an android with a red "!" and "no command". Vol up + pwr -> recovery. rebooted. Still had the firmware from before, nothing happend at all.
I don't know anymore what to do to get CarbonROM installed and actually started.
Anybody got ideas or a actually a solution?
Greetings
Try a different ROM, or try another gapps (I've often had to mess with different gapps on AOSP ROMs on previous devices).
As for just getting the phone working again, you should have made a TWRP backup before trying to flash a custom ROM. Then you could have just restored the backup.
Hey all,
I'm not a total noob, but I do this so infrequently that I can't commit it to memory. Would really appreciate some help here.
I followed the official LineageOS Guide for Herolte, over here.
I had done this previously on my Nexus 7 so I was fairly confident.
Everything worked well, I got TWRP installed using Heimdall from Linux, and successfully pushed the latest LineageOS and open_Gapps images to the phone.
Rebooted into TWRP, and followed the recommendation to wipe System, Cache and data partitions. This failed with red text stating that ti was unable to mount data.
I googled some, and found a suggestion to reformat the partitions, first to a different file system and then back to their original file systems again. I tried formatting /data to exFat, and it took forever, eventually erroring out with an error message. After this I can't get into TWRP anymore. When I try the phone boots to the TWRP startup screen, and just freezes there.
I have tried reflashing TWRP using Heimdall and this does nothing. Flash succeeds, nut still freezes at TWRP splash screen.
I googled some more and found a suggestion to flash stock Samsung firmware, and then try again, this time formatting data system and cache without trying to first wipe them. Problem is I can't successfully flash stock firmware.
I tried using this method in Heimdall, but it complains "Local and device PIT files don't match and repartition wasn't specified!" and fails.
I've also tried booting into Windows and using Odin, but it never works. The screen turns grey, and no progress indicators ever start. I assumed this was because I had the incorrect drivers for the phone, and tried using zadiag.exe to replace them, but the driver install fails.
I'd greatly appreciate any help. I can't seem to force the phone to shut off, it just keeps rebooting and getting stuck on either the TWRP spash screen or on the download mode screen. I know this is solveable, but unless I figure it out fast, I'm worried I am going to burn in the screen.
Any suggestions appreciated!
Never mind. I must just have had a bad stock image.
I downloaded a different one, and retried heimdall and it flashed properly.
I am now able to re-flash and boot into TWRP again.
Hopefully I won't have the same problem again when I try to wipe the partitions...
Alright,
So I solved this issue by (once I reflashed stock, and then reflashed TWRP again) formatting the data partition twice, first to ext3, and then back to ext4. This looks to have cleared the encryption issues that were causing thsi problem ,and allowed everything to continue working as expected.
