Can`t upgrade any recovery or rom!!! - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi people.
I´m facing a problem with my Tab 2 P3100. Some time ago i´ve installed a costum rom ( cyanogen 10.1 ) and everything was fine, but now after one minute tablet restart and after 1 minute ir restart again and so on. I´ve try to install another recovery by ODIN and with CWM because i have CWM 6.0.1.3, but no success. After try install another recovery, CWM stills there!!!! With ODIN and with CWM the recovery i get a message that "new" recovery is installed, but when i restart recovery 6.0.1.3 stills there. I´ve already try to format sd card, wipe everything, but tablet is the same, with all my apps and configurations, everything i tried is useless. Can anyone help me with this? Tank you...

Sounds like your EMMC lifetime is over... it became read only.

Soft brick, recovery refuses to wipe data

So, friend of mine tried to update his Telenor Serbia tab from HC to ICS via kies, it offered upade, he tried, and finished being stucked with samsung galaxy tab 7.7 logo.
Tab can enter both to download mode or recovery.
He gave to me and what I did so far is this:
- First, downloaded LQG and installed via odin, but tab is still stucked.
- I installed CWM 6.0.2.3 and tried to wipe data, but it refuses to wipe, it kind of starts, but reset immediately.
- Downloading LA4 (HC) rom to instal via odin and try to wipe from custom recovery, same result, actualy, it refuses to enter factory recovery, it says "updating aplication".
- Installed Touch recovery TWRP 2.4.0.0. but it wont even enter it.
- Now I am trying with some LQG_BLG ICS rom, and ig it fails, I'll try with Open Austria rom.
Any other ideas? Do I have to repartition data or it still can be restored?
UPDATE: I have managed to restore it via double flashing LQC_BLG rom that bassem.mohsen here. One time was not enough, but twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time.
I have installed CWM after so I don't have issues with mmc, and that's it.

thanks for the up-date.. This sounds like a breakthru that alot of people (like me) could use...
Most that are stuck at boot loop...
ONE thing though....
you said in part.... " twice with not allowing it to boot, before the second time. "
Now can you elaborate on your 'timing' on when to push the start button again on Odin on the second flash..
Ive read this once before....
BUT... I think we need a specific instruction on the exact timing.. on WHEN to flash the second time.... what should be showing on our screens when we hit Odins start button for the second flash.....
Please instruct us on exactly when to flash the second time.... thanks alot....

[Q] Galaxy tab 2 p5100 keeps on rebooting

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!

Can't get into CWM or anything else!

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was about to install a new rom (cm-11.0.0-GT-S5670-beni) on my Galaxy FIT , so I did a factor reset , then installed CWM 5 and then upgraded it to CWM 6.
after this I chose Install from sdcard and i chose zip file of ROM from SDCard. all fine up to here, but after installation is complete, the phone could not boot correctly, it booted to CWM again and again i powerd it off,reboot,factory reset, ... but was unable to get rid of CWM. finally i decided to format /System,So i did and the problem occurred here; now i can't boot to anything! even CWM or stock recovery or etc.
I used Odin to install CWM5 / CWM4 again and again (successfully done) but nothing changed.
fortunately I can get into download mode and Odin detects my phone but not Kies.
is there anyway to get my phone back to life?!
Thx...

GT-I9192 Bootloop

Today at 12:52 AM
My phone was rooted. I was using s5 rom proyect and my recovery was Philz Touch Recovery. I was happily using this rom for arround 8 months. Recently my phone was responding slow and my storage was almost full. One day while watching youtube videos my phone got hang! I just removed the battery and tried to restart. But there was a failure and no vibration. The phone is simply dead. I connected my charger and of :crying:course there was no indication. Later I went through several post to learn how to revive my phone from hard brick. I downloaded debrick.img file and made a bootable memory card. This time I was able to switch on my phone but it went through bootloop. The recovery mode takes too long to load and wiping cache and dalvik cache or even reset was not possible because of some error like E: failed to mount ......
Then I went into the download mode. and installed a firmware from sam mobile. Later I flashed CWM recovery through odin successfully.
But this bootloop still exists. Whenever I try to go into recovery mode it still takes a long time. And istead of loading CWM recovery it loads philz recovery mode that was previously installed
Please help I am tired

Got my S7500 stuck in boot, please help

Hi guys!!! It's been years since I was last here, I suddenly decided to upgrade my GT S7500 to custom firmware but I have a problem.
While I was at work today, I decided to play with my phone, to make recovery through ClockWorkMod, since I was goin to flash a custom FW through CWM later at home.
My GTS7500 is running a semi-custom ROM, I have changed it years ago and cant remember the exact changes but it's almost same as the vanilla ROM, with minor bugfixes.
I haven't booted CWM in years so I can't remember doing anything or having any problems in the past.
So I unlocked my phone and clicked the CWM Mod icon, the app starter and then I selected to 'Boot into CWM"
My phone rebooted and I am now into CWM.
I haven't done anything, but I am stuck in the recovery.
I screwed around holding some buttons and stuff, and I managed to get to ODIN (as far as I remember this is the screen to flash firmware through USB) but this didn't help me.
I tried removing the battery for hours and it didn't help.
I have my ROM backup on my microSD flash card, from 2012.
What should I do?
Should I select "Restore Boot" from the CWM recovery?
Or should I attempt to flash the new custom ROM straight ahead?
The screen says: CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.8
Thanx in advance!
HI guys a quick update: I managed to mount the storage of the phone and microSD to my PC through USB from withing the CWM recovery menu, I am backing up all the data on my laptop.
I found a file called 'exitrecovery.zip' on my microSD card, may be this is the fix I need? May be I got the same problem years ago when I reflashed the stock FW but I cant remember? Thanx again for all suggestions!
PS: I only managed to 'mount' the micro SD card from within CWM Recovery, for some reason I cant mount the internal phone storage, which is bad since I need to recover my contacts and phone numbers!
FIXED IT!!!
Seems like the CWM Recovery was not installed properly!!!
I installed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359572
Through my current CWM recovery and now it seems to be working fine!!!
Thanx to this DEV!!!
PLEASE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD ROM!!!! WITH LESS BLOATWARE AND FASTER EXPERIENCE!!!
TOGO FLASH PEGASUS or ACECPLUS or INSPIRATION???
Which one is best?
Which aps to install?
Thanx in advance for all reading this!
