I tried to use chainroot, and got stuck on the logo screen. normally you'd battery pull, go to recovery and wipe data. but i can't find any way to shut down the phone, before doing power-upVol-home.
And now i've tried to odin a stock recovery to undo chainroot, odin fails. could re-run odin with auto-reboot off, but again, no way to shut off and go to recovery.
at this point i'm stuck with the blue screen asking me to use smart switch on PC to do emergency recovery. but smartswitch says the device is not recognized.
thoughts? thanks!
I was stuck rooting on the boot logo too. Had to use odin 3.10 and did "run as administrator". Also if this helps to reboot the stuck phone press vol down+power together until the screen blanks out. If you need to get into download mode, as soon as the screen blanks out, press and hold the Home button ( Don't let go of the vol down and power though ).
Good grief.... the non-removable battery has made these recovery tricks so difficult
thanks twisted_mind. at this point, i only get the blue screen asking me to do smartswitch recovery, and the one thing i CAN seem to do is volDown-power-home and it easily goes to download mode. i have not been able to get to recovery mode no matter what i do (including volUp-power-home, even before this smartswitch message came up after i tried to odin a stock recovery).
so i can still go to dload mode, and stick in a stock rom. the ones i've tried are from sammobile, and a potential issue is that i don't know the exact one to pick (this phone is a demo here in europe and i didn't note the details under settings when it was working). so the ones i try end in an odin FAIL. again, i've also tried odin unchecking auto-reboot, but then the phone is stuck at the very end of dload ("don't turn off target", etc), and i have no way to battery pull, etc.
Instead of holding power to shut off you have to hold power and vol down

Thanks

I have the turquoise screen that says "an error has occurred... use the emergency recovery function in smart switch...". if i do power + volDown there OR when the phone is stuck in download mode after the odin fail, the phone turns off but then comes right back on with the turquoise error screen. i've tried quickly going to the recovery key combo right when or right after the screen goes dark, but to no avail.
I can easily do power +volDown + home and go to dload mode. i just can't get into recovery mode no matter what i've tried so far.
if i could just find a stock rom that wouldn't fail in odin, or something else to use as AP/PDA in odin, i'd be set i think. wish i knew how to do this. hitting nand erase all in odin doesn't do the trick by the way.

is the version you flashed the same version that you had prior (do the apps look the same, etc)?
so odin passed? (mine FAILs, with 4 different sammobile stock recoveries). I have the S6 Edge, maybe the S6 works fine and I just need the correct S6 Edge firmware.

Odin passed normally with no issue.

Hi,
I rooted my brandnew GT-P3110 with cf, flashed pacman and cwm recovery. I do not blame anybody alse for my issues but myself. I guess I messed up the restoring of NON-system-apps:
After a day of troublefree use the tablet randomly rebooted and came back with the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.". No booting into recovery possible, no booting into download mode, no regular boot. Just the same message over and over again. Battery is unremovable.
I installed Kies, updated it, it downloaded drivers but under "emergency recovery" my tablet didn't appear. I then followed the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" procedure wich downloaded the necessary files but aborted with a korean text shown in the attachment after replugging the tablet. I tried this with 2 different USB-cables on several USB-ports. Kies btw asked me to remove the battery (not possible) after entering device number and serial-number. I turned off by pressing the off button instead and it turned on again.
I uninstalled Kies, rebooted, installed the samsung drivers manually, rebooted. I installed odin 1.85 (and later 1.3) and downloaded my contry's stock firmware (and later a newer version of the same firmware and another country's stock) from sammobile. I tried to flash them first without "repartition" ticked, later with it ticked but without a pit file (i can't find it!). I got four different errors, two are attached, the third was somethign like "cant write (line 1876)" and "cant write (line 1440)".I tried three stock firmwares with two version of odin with two USB cords on everal ports on ONE computer. I remove the tablet every time, exited odin every time, run it as admin, disabled firewall, xp-antispy and antivirus. I'm on Windows 7.
Besides a million other threads I found this one, but I wasn't able to solve my issue with it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
For 48 hours i tried to solve this problem by myself. Now I hope to find out if there's a point in continuing or if I can give up and throw away the piece of samsung.
Cheers,

I am having the same problem with a P5113. Started with stuck at the Samsung logo. Then I tried a flash from Odin that didn't work. That led to the "Firmware error" screen telling me to use Keis. Keis fails to find the tablet. Odin still sees it but doesn't get a good write.
Now all I get is the battery icon when plugged in but that's it.
Things I have tried:
1) Two versions of Odin
2) Different USB ports
3) Different PC
I also let the device sit over the weekend to completely discharge. Still nothing.
Did you (or anyone else) resolve this issue?

Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. I downloaded the
The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)
The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/)
The JB Bootloader
The stock JB kernel.
Opened odin v1.85.
Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.
Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.
Disconnect
Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.
Get into download mode and connect
Installed the kernel through odin and reboot
Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.
If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),
get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)
Then do a full format along with wipe cache.
And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.
Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.

Thanks. Well, I understand the theory. I have had trouble finding a PIT file that I am sure is for my device. I did save a PIT file but I think it is corrupt because using it requires me to let the battery die afterwards to get back to download mode. Same for the bootloader. I have a few things I've tried, but not sure I have one that is exactly for the GT-P5113 (in fact, I never did find a JB for the 5113 just the 5110 and it never would load).
Well no amount of coaxing has put life back into the tab
I may try again out of curiosity, but rather than invest more time I went out and bought a 32G Nexus 7 (2013 version). I would still like to get the Galaxy Tab alive again -- it has corrupted the flash twice before and each time I was able to bring it back to life. Not sure if this is an actual hardware failure or if it is just beyond partitioning.
I have a feeling if I had the right PIT and the right bootloader I could get back in business.
I can do each thing you mentioned, but my device is not getting detected by my PC. When I insert USB it says USB not recognized and it is not detected by Odin, adb and anything else. I am stuck on Boot Logo for my P3100 and when I go into recovery, it says USB not recognized. Fully messed up. Can you help me out here.

No. I finally sent it to one of these ebay guys who will JTAG it since I was too lazy to wire up one of my JTAG probes. They worked on it and said it was simply dead and the only alternative would be to replace the flash chips.
Bought a Nexus 7.
I've got the pit files for P311x and P3100 on my website https://sites.google.com/site/jrc2swebsite/downloads/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-70-p31xx
Please can you help I bought this samsung tab 2 7.0 P3110 with it only powering on to the samsung tab 2 7.0 logo screen.
I am unable to get to recovery screen using the power and the vol up button all this does is power it off even if I hold for over one minute.
I can get to the download screen (power and vol down doing so is easy as it works) I have been able to use odin (failed many times) and download firmwares.
Last night I was able to download and gain a pass in Odin for CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi-espressowifixx-gtp3110 this I ran fist then 4.1.1 P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU. the problem after that is when odin tells it to reboot it hangs at the logo screen everytime. I have tried without the reboot and reboot manually it staill hangs.
is it a bootloader problem? corrupted partition? I think it needs the whole boot process reinstalled or rewritten if someone knows how
I am not looking for a custom rom All i want it to do is to power on into the stock recovery and to power on into the sofware by using something that works either by reformat or re partition the tab to get that part of the tab working before looking at firmware. sometime I have seen write fail when in odin.
simple instructions for how to get it back is all I am looking for.
I have browsed your site and watched youtube for hours no light at the end of the tunnel
thanks in advance for your help

I am not too sure about the partition/repartition thing, but I think you should use said Odin to flash CWM 6.0.45. It doesn't mean you have to install a ROM, but try attempting a factory reset (at this point, not being able to boot up, you might need to use Cwm to create some sort of backup).
However, I suggest waiting until you receive more than one reply, as I may be wrong
For going into recovery, try holding the buttons at the same time. When you see the first samsung bootscreen, release the power button and continue to hold the other button.

Thanks for your reply I probably didnt explain myself. I have always been holding down the power and the vol up button at the same time.
I have access to another tab 2 7.0 P3110 that is working in stock mode (a trusted friend allowed me to check how to get to the download and recovery screens ) I have noted the time it takes to boot into recovery from power off and from the samsung tab 2 7.0 screen and also going into recovery from the download screen. mine dont do any it just goes to the download screen or power off. the screen is black no life lol.
just a thought I dont think it actually powers off although the screen is black because I left it for over 10 hours I felt the back and it was warm battery was low as I couldnt power it on it was fully charged when I tried to get into recovery 10 hours earlier.
will try to explain one step at a time
because of the problem I am thinking I have to start from scratch instead of jumping into the middle of what is already possibly corrupt files. (I have probably built a house out of my bricked Tab)
1. what do I have to do to get a totally clean 8gb space for recovery and firmware to go onto?
2. what has to be installed via Odin to get to recovery (can recovery be tested on its own before the firmware is installed)
3. I have tried a PIT file before all I had was 0 completed and 0 failed???? is that good or bad? didnt see a PASS at the top left. did I have the correct PIT file?
4. are PIT files dependant on which version of Odin I run or recovery or firmware? if they are can someone point my in the right direction for everything that is compatible with each other
I read on this forum of splitting the MD5 files into bootloader pit by extracting it twice I tried that in winRAR I only had one chance it left a tar.md5 file which is the file I used to upload in Odin.
Thanks again for everyones help
2. You need to install Clockwork Mod Recovery version 6.0.4.5. It can be found in the development forum, made by Android-Andi

I have tried the above it passes and reboots to samsung tab 2 7.0 and thats as far as it goes. I waited 15 minutes no change tried the usual to get into recovery not happening. went back to download screen and ran gtab2P311x8g.pit below is a snippet of the important bits from Odin output screen bottom left I had auto reboot, repartition and f reset time all selected
set pit file
get pit for mapping
theres no pit for mapping
all threads completed succeed 0 failed 1
I have also ran philz touch 6.008 universal root also pass with reboot and without reboot
all tar md5 files installs and with a pass reboots but no blue bar on the bottom of download screen and no access to recovery screen.
I think the internal 8gb memory needs to be wiped and partitioned.
maybe someone can tell me how to extract all the files that are needed to get the os onto the tab from the tar md5 file like the partition, recovery and bootloader etc and the order of installing in Odin

Am now running with Odin 3.07 and CF Auto Root espressowifi....md5
it all run through with pass at the end. It doesnt show the blue line running across the bottom of the download screen on the tab. I have never seen this in all the 20 + times I have tried with Odin. All the you tube vids show this as part of the installation process. If I have auto reboot on the tab reboots when Odin send the request to the tab to reset.

ADB devices does not attach itself to the tab. ADB just says its waiting for device when in download mode and fastboot returns nothing. I think its because I am unable to run USB debugging due to no firmware.
Is there a way to get into the tab if theres no os?
I have taken the back off thinking the volume or power key might be faulty, there not. Pressing the power button and the up vol does nothing apart from putting the tab in a reboot loop or power off. I can get into download mode no prob. I have tried pressing the up and down vol keys with the power button to try to put the tab into shock no change.
I was searching the forum for a similar problem as mine.
And you have the exact same problem as I do.
At some point when I used Odin 3.07 and flashing an official firmware from samsung I got past the first boot screen.
But right after that it shows an android robot with a dedacahedron in front of it showing an animation and a loading bar.
Soon I discovered the next loop, since this animation would loop over and over again.
Now I waited for the battery to run out and charge it up till its full.
By the way:
When the tablet is off and I plug it in with the original cable and charger the tablet shows the battery icon, but it doesnt show the charging animation. The battery icon shows a "waiting" circle. So I cant really see if its charging or not.
Have you had any progress?
Would be so awesome to fix this, this galaxy tab is not mine. Its my brothers and I broke it by trying to root it and install cwm xD

The right one is in that list.
Then I tried flashing it with Odin3 Version 3.09
I googled for a newer version of Odin and found this version 3.09
First time rebooting didnt work.
But the seccond time I succesfully got into CWM recovery.
Hope this works for you 2!

Thanks for the detailed guide and everyone's responses.. I was SOL also and re-flashing CWM helped get me back to where I can flash again.
I have a GT-P1500, and I flashed a ROM .zip to /system with heimdall before I really grasped how flashing these kinds of things on samsung devices really works. Now everything is terrible.
I can boot into download mode and heimdall and odin both recognize my device. When I flash a recovery, I'm not able to boot into it even when I do the right key combinations and it says "booting recovery" in blue text in the corner on the samsung logo screen. Also, for some reason my download screen says "qualcomm secureboot: enabled" at the bottom of the other stuff. This is normal, right?
I've tried flashing the .tar.md5 firmware files from sammobile, but odin fails to flash them. I've tried kies, but it doesn't recognize my device. I've tried different computers. I've tried different recovery builds. I've tried everything I can think of.

I have a GT-P1500, and I flashed a ROM .zip to /system with heimdall before I really grasped how flashing these kinds of things on samsung devices really works. Now everything is terrible.
I can boot into download mode and heimdall and odin both recognize my device. When I flash a recovery, I'm not able to boot into it even when I do the right key combinations and it says "booting recovery" in blue text in the corner on the samsung logo screen. Also, for some reason my download screen says "qualcomm secureboot: enabled" at the bottom of the other stuff. This is normal, right?
I've tried flashing the .tar.md5 firmware files from sammobile, but odin fails to flash them. I've tried kies, but it doesn't recognize my device. I've tried different computers. I've tried different recovery builds. I've tried everything I can think of.
Please help?

It looks, like a locked bootloader. Which firmware you flashed?
Will try when I get home tonight, thank you for your kindness.

No problem my friend, but I just saw you mentioned p1500 and this p5100 thread. Sorry, i missed that too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1
Your problems will be sorted out there better than here.
Although I don't see any help or advice in your case. Since I am pretty sure you are on a carrier locked bootloader, sorry to be the one to break this on you which means you can't go custom and the carrier company is the real owner who doesn't want you to leave them.
Ah, 1500 was a typo. I meant 5100
Also, I can't do anything to the bootloader to fix this? Not even go back to stock?

There must be something, you got me mixed up with P1500 . well, lets put few confusions to rest
what else do you have, I will need more details
Are you using a carrier locked tab 2 p5100?
or did you flash a carrier locked firmware on your unlocked tab?
you mentioned you flashed a rom zip from heimdall. which one exactly?
is your device booting up or you are just stuck in download mode?
The tablet boots, but the screen is just black and I can only try rebooting it. I can boot into download mode by holding power and volume down.
I do not have a carrier locked version, and I have not flashed any firmware packages as something eventually goes wrong and heimdall or odin stops there.
The device was booting into stock properly before I flashed the ROM incorrectly. I flashed the 5100 version of the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303800

Update your bootloader to jelly bean. Flash from odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642005
Refer to this. Will work, no need to worry.
Sorry for replying so late, I have been really busy lately.
I am unable to update my bootloader: odin either outright fails or hangs on SetupConnection forever. After weeks of recearch and attempts, I see no answer. I guess I really am bricked forever? Damn.
Hi all I will keep it brief.
I have tried to flash with Odin 3.10.6, 3.10.7, 3.09, 3.10 root, twrp, stock firmware G920F but everything fails at "Nand Write Start" its driving me crazy. I've tried different versions of Odin, Twrp, and even Smart switch multiple times but nothing will write to the phone. ODIN ALWAYS FAILS AT NAND WRITE START.
My phone will only boot into download and NOTHING else not even recovery.
Any help welcome......
Try different firmware revisions. You flashing stock? What was the last fw successfully flashed?

It is Stock G920F (united kingdom EE (EVR).
My problem is No matter what version of Odin or what I try to flash Odin always fails after Nand Write Start. It's not just the stock firmware, it's anything I try to flash in download mode.
Im actually in the same boat just now. ODIN wont flash the EVR Firmware (previously it did, mine fails on the cm.bin). I have tried different ODIN versions and also different laptops. Also the Smart Switch / Kies3 recovery procedure didnt work for me either. I was able to flash TWRP via down and get into recovery, but it see a lot of unable to mounts when trying to flash custom ROM and fails to do so. I think that i might have stupidly wiped via recovery something i should not have as i did noticed before all this i lost me IMEI (unknown).
I always assumed that if you can get into download you would always be ok but this is the first time for me that im having big issues.
I really hope someone can help out other wise i have a really expensive paperweight.

Try to flash latest fw. Probably you've upgraded the bootloader to which cannot be downgraded.

What i've noticed with the S6 (and S7 i presume) is because you can't shut the phone down completely when your stuck on the download screen it never fully resets itself for another attempt at flashing by Odin. If your hold Power+Volume down to shut it off, the screen just goes black briefly then it comes back onto that error message about connecting it to Smart Switch for emergency recovery.
Smart Switch is a waste of time, it will download all the software for your device , say it's going to install then you get an error message telling you to use recovery code which of course it does not give you! So basically you just go round and round in circles with Odin and Smart Switch, i'm convinced it's not being able to shut the phone down completely that causing the problem of failed attempts.
Anyway something you might try that allowed me to flash G920F United Kingdom EE (EVR) PDP in the end. >>>
The phone battery eventually died, i waited for 10 minutes before charging it up to around 15% again, then i put it into Download mode, made sure my windows 10 laptop had "debugging" enabled at start up (i think this is why Nand Write Start is failing).
I loaded up ODIN 3.10.7 with "Cf auto root", connected my phone then flashed the root file straight away. It worked, so i reset Odin, put phone back in download mode and flashed EVR quickly via odin and it worked.
Over all i thin there's 2 issues here: The phone cannot be completely shut down when it will only boot to download or that smart switch recovery error and Windows 10 keeps turning off "debugging mode" which prevent Nand Write to device. I may be wrong but after hours of attempts with lots of different Odin and Firmware thats what i noticed. There has to be a way of shutting the S6 off completely .
NB: Tried latest BTU firmware, won't flash same problem "Nand Write Fail"
NB; Reactivation lock is OFF

There is no recovery code as far as I remember. As long as you have the sn that should make a go.
And there is no way to shutdown the phone completely. We can force reset but it will only shutdown whem the battery depleted.

Smart Switch is useless! I put in the model SM-G920F then the serial number and SS tells me the correct firmware is (EVR), downloads it, prepares it for installing, starts to install, gets to 1% then says "an error has occurred please use the Emergency code below to recover your phone" BUT there is no code! It says Emergency recovery code: .......nothing.
The main issue i'm experiencing is ODIN will not flash anything of any version, always fails at "Nand Write Start".
I've tried multiple versions of Odin, Stock Firmwares, TWRP, Root. Nothing will flash until the battery is dead, then when i try with a little charge for the first time Odin will usually flash the 1st file i give it (no matter what it is) then thats it, back to failing after "Nand Write Start".
Driving me crazy.
Quick update. I loaded a later FW (Still UK) and it passed in ODIN, so that was better.
But after that it booted into stock recovery, showed unable to mount efs (no sim card in). I then rebooted and its been on a blank screen ( with the blue light flashing) for the last 30mins. No real signs of life.
Cheers

The stock didn't flash correctly then. After you flash stock with ODIN it should reboot into recovery, should just boot into MM, and go through phone set up.
The problem with flashing different Stock firmware (even if it's same region) it can cause all sorts of issues. There's G920F BTU which is the non branded stock for Galaxy S6 G920F then there's G920F EE (EVR) G920F Vodafone (VOD) etc
You'd think the non branded BTU would be fine on any UK S6 but that's not the case unfortunately.
Use Smart Switch and go through the emergency recovery option, one you put in your model and serial number it actually tells you what stock firmware your phone was shipped with, then you find it and flash it through ODIN.

Already tried that. Flashing the EVR just doesnt work, ODIN Fails every time. Smart Switch says it should be EVR based on S/N but i just cant get it flashed.
Dont know what else to try.
Cheers
You might also try Win7 or earlier, 32-bit, if possible. There are known issues with Win8 and later.

Its WIN7 im using on both the work and personal laptop, neither of which have had any issues in the past.
IF i flash EVR, it fails, i then flash TWRP to reboot into Recovery, but i see there alot of unable to mount / error messages, possibly the partitions are damaged? I dont know.
cheers
My Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4) has decided to not want to boot. I can't boot normally or into recovery. I can only boot into Odin mode.
I've tried to flash stock rom, but it doesn't seem to work. I've heard that I should use the ROM from samsmobile, so I'll try that next.
This all started to happen after I accidentally turned on the phone right before I took the battery out. I put that battery back in and it booted fine, but after a few minutes it rebooted and started to reboot over and over again. It won't even show the charging screen when it is turned off and plugged in.
OK, I tried to flash the stock rom with Odin, but it still is in a boot loop. I've flashed it 3 times. I've firmware files from different sites. It seems that this S7 is dead. Please help!
Try to flash another rom and keep in mind that it sometimes takes up to 10-15 minutes at the first boot.
You could also just flash TWRP...

TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4)???
Also, now I've been greeted with the screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software." It says to use the Samsung Smart Switch PC software to fix it. Hopefully that works.
Where are you?
What firmware are you using? Branded or unbranded?
Have you looked on Sammobile for the correct firmware?
Are you able to boot into system recovery? Home+VOLUME UP+Power (Not Download)?
Oh you have got the G930R4. I thought G930F.
Then I don't know if there is a TWRP you could flash.
But if there is one you could just flash it and enter recovery mode and install a new ROM from within the TWRP environment.
Check this out.

Sounds like your device is currently bricked anyways, so just give it a try.
Maybe you can get a working TWRP recovery mode again.

I am in the US.
I'm on Android 8.0 (Oreo)
I have a US Cellular Branded phone.
As soon as the phone is turned on, it tries to boot into recovery, but it can't so it keeps on trying over and over again. I've tried the firmware from SamMobile, but nothing seems to work.
When I flash to Stock ROM, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the "Recovery Booting..." screen.
When I flash the rooted Engineering rom, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the Samsung S7 logo. I can't boot into safe mode.
I tried to use Samsung Kies... didn't work... I tried to use Samsung Smart Switch... didn't work... I've tried 3 or 4 different ROMs from different websites.... didn't work.
i have the same problem. was able to enter download mode several times, but at some point it died completely (not charging anymore). how do you manage to take the battery out? does the SM-G930R4 the possibility to easily remove it?

The glass panel on the back is glued onto the phone. If you remove the glass, there are screws and from there, it's easy. I broke the glass in the process... so yay me.
Mine won't charge either. It is completely dead, but it will still turn on when I plug it into my computer.
Really strange. Mine is not turning on, even tried several locations, charger, etc. Once I had download mode while having a black screen. Keep an eye on odin and instantly flash firmware if it got recognized. I press all three buttons while plugging in; that's how it worked the first time for me....
