I think I bricked my son's tablet!

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!

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.

Download stock firmware from SamMobile.com. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer and use ODIN to flash the firmware as "AP".

Anyone else has any idea ? When i flash it with cwm or what is it called it says it was reset in Odin but phone is still stuck in Samsung note II logo.

HELP! Firmware Upgrade Encountered an Issue! GT-P3100

I searched most of the web for a week now, trying to figure out how to fix my Tablet on this nightmare.
so before it all began, i left my Tablet charging in midnight, left it in stand-by mode for 12 hours (yes i slept for 12 hours). when i woke up, it was on shutdown mode. i don't know why, i tried opening it, but it was stuck on Samsung Logo for nearly 2 mins. then i tried re-restart it again, and then i was stuck on "Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0". I can charge my Tab and it only has 80% battery for some reason. and so i asked someone from Yahoo Ask about how to fix this problem, i couldn't go to Recovery mode or start my tab, but everytime i try, it'll only get stuck at "Samsung Galaxy tab 2 7.0". Now, this guy said i should download a custom os or firmware or smth. (Forgot). and then i downloaded Odin, and a Firmware. for my GT-P3100.
I know i made a mistake, since i wanted to already fix my problem, i went to try anything i didn't actually know of. Now i have a problem, I didn't listen to "Don't turn off target" thing, and i shutdown my tab in the middle of using Odin, since most of the tries failed, Now i got the Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue.
I Tried using Samsung Kies to fix the issue, but it'll only get stuck on Connecting... i tried reinstalling the Drivers but nothing happened, then i uninstalled Kies. and then i download firmwares that might help me with my problem. but most of them failed.
i have 2 Firmware Stock for GT-P3100 Philippines. I really want to get my tab fixed already without a technician repairing it for me. so can you guys help?
I'm about to Download and try Jellybean Firmware, I Don't know anything about this problem nor these firmware. since i couldn't connect to Kies, i only tried fixing it on Odin.
Most of the Firmwares i tried failed. and every time i want to find some thread with the same problem as mine, i couldn't find anything.
i tried everything and it still wont work.

GT=N8000 is not booting , stuck at downloading mode

hi
i am trying to get this thing on , but it keep showing me "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" screen , nothing else
tried to hard reset , so i pressed power+ vol up and asked me to restart or continue
so i continue , and i am stuck at a creen showing me android logo with "Downloading... do not turn off target!!"
its been like this for 4-5 hours
there is something written in the upper left corner
ODIN MODE
product name : GT-N8000
custom binary download : No
current binary : Samsung official
system status : Official

any help please ?

Be more spesific. What was the last thing you've done before that issue?
Btw, maybe it's time to use ODIN and install some rom. There are plenty of "flashing" guides in this forum and on internet. Please feel free to google: "how to flash on n8000 with ODIN". If you have any more trouble, question or something like it feel free to ask. Just be sure you mentioned me in your question so I can now there is a question that asked to me.
Have a nice day.
Edit: I found my answer too hard to understand so here is some hints:
You should search for "how to use odin".
You should download a firmware that corresponds to your tablet. (THIS IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU WON'T BE CAREFUL YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE)
There are plenty of guides that explains how to flash a firmware to a samsung phone. Don't worry, that way is effective for almost every samsung device (except for the new ones) and will be succesfull for your n8000 too!

the tablet is not mine , my niece was using it
it was running good until several days and stopped working
when i go to download mode , it keep restarting for ever
i went to some local shop in my area and they said they can't fix it ( maybe its a hardware issue ? )

If there is a boot loop it is more likely being a software issue but I was wrong before too. So did you tried to flash a rom?

installed kies , but the logo keep running on my desktop
ok , now my niece told me there is some important files and photos on it
how to restore those files without formatting ?
i can't even access to the device , and no microSD card

Just install the firmware. That's the only way you can open up your files with the resources you have. If it's that important, I strongly suggest you to go to a Samsung service and tell them your story. If you want to do it yourself, search for: installing custom recovery, installing rom. When you switch between different roms you don't have to format your data but I can't remember the case with the Odin.

Hi, i have the same problem.
I have a galaxy note 10.1 2013. It originally had ics. I updated my software in the middle of this year.
Today, my tab worked fine, as it usually, does. I placed it in my bag at 5:30 pm after playing and surfing the internet. At 11pm, i took it out and it was a bit hot and it seemed to be stuck at the screen where it says "samsung galaxy note 10.1".
I tried to restart my tab but it still remains stuck in the same screen. When i plugged it in, it shows that im charging. But when i start it up, its still stuck in the same screen.
When i pressed the power button and the volume up button, it gets to this screen which says
Warning!! (Blahblah something about custom os blahblah) volume up: continue volume down: cancel(restart phone)
What do i do? I didnt do anything weird or different today than i would have any other day.
Please, i need your help. Thank you!

Galaxy Note 10.1 lte GT-N8020 (2012 Edition) Bricked Odin dont work, What Is T Flash

Hello People.
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8020. that is bricked somehow, i have rooted it and was running on a french rom apparently, there is a Orange Icon (logo) on startup and some french apps .
it have run smooth the last year. suddenly a week ago. it wont start any more. hangs on the Orange logo. it cannot go into recovery mode only download mode i have tried using samsung kies whitout luck. the wierd thing is that kies tells me that i am using a Swedish rom MI3 (TLA). then i have tried using Odin (many different version to) and nothing works, same error all the time. (nand start write error) i have tried philstouchrecovery, flash with stock rom. pit files everything fails etc.
then yesterday in desperation i tried some other option, in Odin There is a check box Called T Flash. When i check this box. i don't get a error and i could flash it with a stock rom. the tablet responds and you can see the progress bar moving etc and i get a reboot and a pass in Odin. but i dont seems like anything have been flashed. still stuck on the Orange Logo.
Can anyone Help Me, unbrick my Tablet, and also Explain What The T Flash Does ??

Nand is memory.
Reads ws a fault in memory block
