Help reviving my p3113

Here is the situation. I was on cm10 for a long time and decided to odin back to stock. When I did this, my 16gb tab became a 4.59gb tablet. I have been searching the web for days for a solution to this problem. The only thing I could come up with was that I needed to flash a .pit file in odin. Unfortunately for me, when googling for pit files and flashing instructions, the info was sparse. I had some help with pulling the pit file with heimdall-frontend, but since my tab is at 4.59 gb of internal memory I'm not sure if it is going to be much help.
My situation:
I flashed the pit file I pulled from my (now) 4 gb tab in combination with this file (HOME_P3113UEBLH2_999349_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5) in PDA. Tablet rebooted fine but still only had 4.59 gb internal storage. Now comes my boneheaded mistake. I now flash the 16 gb wifi only p3110 pit with the above tarball. Tablet reboots to a screen that reads:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.
Perform factory data reset before use. After resetting, try
encrypting device again.
With a touch screen option to "reset device". When I touch that it boots to stock recovery to reset but I get this error:
wiping data...
formatting /data...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe failed.
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : XAR
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
-- Updating application...
E:failed to mount '/preload'(No such file or directory)
I have also tried flashing both 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 firmware and still get the above encryption error.
I am confident that I can recover this tab with the proper guidance, but I have no clue where/what to do from here. I can get into download mode, and I can boot the tab and get through the splash screen and boot animation (which then gets to the first error from above), and as long as I have the tablet plugged into a power source (turned on) and hold power + volume down, the tab turns off and will still charge. So I am not panicking, but I really do need some guidance please.
Thanks in advance.

I flashed the stock firmware in odin without the pit file, yes. Still get the same error messages.

Ok, I have a tone of silly questions, so just bear with me here...
Next question, can you boot the device normally...?, and use normally...???

No problem. Your the only one on 4 forums that is offering any help, so ask away.
I can boot all the way up/get past the boot screen. However, instead of the lock screen, I get a white screen with this error:
Encryption failed
Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.
Perform factory data reset before use. After resetting, try
encrypting device again.
In the bottom right it says "reset device "
When I do that, I get the second error from above in stock recovery.

skennelly,
Have you tried Kies, although this appears to be an Firmware emergency recovery, for a phone. Can you give this a go...?, it is a Sammobile PDF. Here is the link...

Also, I have tried these places to try and get a proper .pit file, but after registering with them I still to this day can not gain access...???
But maybe you will have better luck...???

I am trying to imagine what this is...???
Another question, do you have a recovery (by pressing the Volume Up + Power button(s), and if so...?, Is it Stock or Custom...? If any of the two are in place, can you perform a Factory Reset Wipe...???

I will try the kies method that you have posted.
Also, I have tried droidevelopers.com and found a thread with a ton of pit files. However, they did not have one for the p3113 and no one has responded to my post, and I also sent a pm to the op of that thread and have not received a response. All of this occurred over a week ago.

And yes, I do have a stock recovery. I can get into recovery, download mode, and power down (and I can charge my tab when powered down).
I can even install a custom recovery, which I did. However, the custom recovery will abort the installation when I try to flash the .zip to root the tab and will abort the installation of a back up that I had.

Then I get this after the wipe and reboot.

In this image here, there is a "wipe data/factory reset" have you tried that selection, then rebooted...?
And also, it appears to be failing due to a ext4 partition format, not ext4 file format (this maybe confusing, so for now just ignore)...? But the question I am getting at is; do you have a external SdCard in place, if so can you remove it then attempt to restart or reboot the device...???
If that fails just after a reboot then preform the "wipe data/factory reset" then reboot again...!!!
I want to see what happens, so post the response.
But follow these steps;
Remove the Sdcard, the reboot...
If it fails, return back to Recovery
Preform "wipe data/factory reset, reboot...

I have performed a factory reset several times. Taking out the sd card and booting gave me the same encryption failed error.
Performing a factory reset without the sd card in gave me this error:

What do you mean by "super wipe"?
I just tried to install a rom. everything looked like it was going well, but then I got the same encryption error. Tried to format data in cwm and received another. Still can't boot to anything other that "encryption failed".

Also, on the Encryption page, I get a toast notication that "device is full, delete user data".

He is on CMW 6.0.1.0 I does not come with "superwipe"..., CWM 6.0.1.1, and the latest version TWRP, is not equipped with this either. I found it on a CWM Recovery designed for my HTC Evo 4g though.

If it`s the same error via odin as well then you god the same corrupted partition like me... and you need to get to service to revive it with RIFF JTAG BOX ( rewrite the /data partition at low level)

install any other new Recovery

[Q] GS Tab2 10.1 , Boot loop, no factory reset

Hi, i have boot loop after installing the official version by odin.
Download mode works
Recovery mode works, only cwm 6.0.0.3
I try others recovery, philz touch, cwm 6.4.9, and twrp but don t work.
the problem is when I try to factory reset, not end, and reset.
Can be the internal memory damaged?
Thanks

Get the correct pit file for your device and reflash with Odin to full stock.
Check "repartition" and leave the other two preselected options checked.
Allow the tablet to reboot and sit for 20-30 minutes.
If it doesn't boot, go into stock recovery and factory reset.

I downloaded the pit fil for my device.
installed it, as you said, and then reboot one time and again, boot loop.
try again from the recovery, wipe data factory reset, when i select yes , ok , reset again.
I think a factory reset would be the solution. But do not leave me.
Thanks

Yeah. Flash the stock Odin file and pit at the same time. Wait and factory reset.
It worked on my 7" yesterday after a ton of googling.

Ok, the problem after the factory reset is when formatting /sdcard /.android_secure, restarts at that point

and say no command

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Tab 2 10.1 restart constantly

My "Galaxy Tab 2 P5100" constantly restarts. Has the stock ROM with root and cwm 6.0.1.
Only reboot if the tablet is in android system or power off.
In the recovery dont restart.
This is the problem:
If i make a factory reset, when the tablet restart, this fails.
In the CWM, wipe data/factory reset: data wipe complete successfuly. But when the tablet restart, the data dont wiped.
If i delete my pictures or unistall apps, when restart, the deleted pictures or apps are there again.
I flash TWRP or philz recovery whit odin: succesfully flashed, when restart cwm 6.0.1 is still there.
In the cwm i flash another custom rom: successfully flashed. When restart, nothing flashed, the tablet still in the stock original rom.
Odin back to stock fails at system write.

Something is really wrong

When i flash a custom rom , the installer format system, then write the new rom. In the recovery say successfully wiped and flashed, but when restart again, the original rom a data still there.
Odin start to write system, fails at the write, but the tablet boot to the original android system and data.

Try using adb to install recovery

¿?

Maybe we must call someone by spamming other threads

I have the same problem :crying:
when in recovery mode, it says something like
"did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/....."
about wallpaper thing, with red font.
already wipe chace also factory reset, but after reboot, the internal memory still the same. the pictures, the apps.
flash via odin stuck at nand write, then failed.
I can enter the homescreen, but just for 5-7 seconds, then it will restart. then do the same cycles.
How to solve this? is this a hardware problem?
someone said about emmc bricked, he replace the mainboar with the new 1. its too expensive for me, especially for now, this tab no longer up to date compare to newest devices nowadays.
sorry for my english, my brain also got some brick :silly:

Reflash Twrp in fastboot and reboot the device then, hold vol+ key to access twrp again.
From there, Wipe System, Cache, Dalvik.
Reboot back to Twrp
Format DATA type yes and reboot again to twrp
Copy rom files from pc to mi mix 3 using usb cable
Flash the rom and you should be all set!

You must FORMAT data, not wipe. That's your issue.
