White screen during booting - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I have a problem with my galaxy tab 2.
I had a CM 10.1.3 and I have tried to flash it with branded Polish ROM (by T-Mobile)
Any ideas ?

You flashed a ROM for a different tablet or phone on your tablet?

No. I've just used a ROM downloaded from sammobile prepared for P5100.
I read that it may be caused by damaged kernel...
Samsung was not able to handle this case - they advised me that I have to contact the offical techincal support.

What is the model number of your tablet? It can be found stamped on the back of the tablet.

As I have already mentioned it is GT-P5100

Sorry about that. I thought you were saying you flashed a P5100 ROM, but it wasn't clear if that is your model number. You are saying you have a white screen during booting. Do you mean that it shows a white screen and does not boot or that it does boot, but with a white screen instead of the regular animation?
Can you still boot into download mode? Or recovery?

It means that my Galaxy Tab is starting normally but with white screen. The same situation has place when I try to boot it in recovery or download mode.
So, I can't see anything on the screen even in recovery or download.

Starting normally meaning you can get into the system and use applications? Or you think it starts, but cannot tell due to a white screen?

Based on the sounds which were place during the booting the device (before configuring the device) I know that the tablet is turned on properly.
Accordingly, the device is working but I can't see anything on the screen because it is still white. I suppose that it is caused by the CM.

Assuming that you can get it into download mode, you could try flashing stock through Odin again. Idk if it will help. Standard disclaimers apply.

So....
I have tried to do these steps numerous times. Unfortunately it is not working on my device. Today I found info that I can try to flash my tab with PIT file.

Be VERY careful when messing with PIT files and repartitioning. I would recommend using Heimdall to do this, rather than Odin. I have seen numerous people brick when attempting this.

But the most important thing is question that if the PIT file would solve my problem ?

My GT7Plus bricked itself again... Help! *** Edit: Fixed!!! See page 6 for details!!

So, this happened recently, and I fixed it. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735119
Well, outta no where, same basic issue, but with a twist.
This afternoon while I was asleep my GTab rebooted. It came back to the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" splash screen and is stuck. I *can* get into download mode, and I can almost get into recovery. When I try to go into recovery, it loads what looks like it will be recovery, then says:
# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
Then a minute or so later it reboots right back to the GT7+ splash screen and stays there...
Twist:
So, knowing what I did last time, I installed Odin and the Samsung drivers on my POS computer at home, booted into Download Mode, and did the "PDA" option with the correct FW (same as I used last time for the T869 from SamMobile, I saved all the files). It runs through just fine, gets to the end and the Tab reboots. It then goes into recovery and and does a few things (I believe it said it was deleting the cache and a few other processes). Then, lastly, it again says:
"# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
... followed by a reboot, and back to hanging on the boot logo.
Any ideas?!? Ironically, I put it on CL today to see if I can sell it for enough to cover a Nexus7. I woke up to an offer, and a bricked Tab. Figures.
Any thoughts/help are greatly appreciated. The sooner the better. lol
Is it possible that I need to flash a good recovery in Odin? If so, what's the procedure. and can someone link me to the one I would need for the US TMobile 4G version of the GT7+?
Also, since flashing the stock FW isn't fixing anything, and it seems like a possible Recovery issue, a friend at work is suggesting I choose the option in Odin to delete the partitions.
Thoughts??? (quickly)
Damn dude, again?
I think there is 3 or 4 threads about this on this forum and same amount on 7.7 forum. None come to a cause our solution, seems like people repeats some procedures and out of nothing it works again.
When it happened to me a let its battery drain fully to the point it won't turn on anymore let it this way for some time. Then fully charged, this is a little harmful to your bat, for the record. Then try to turn on, it will take some time but eventually it could enter on the system.
I think the data partition got corrupted.

Yup.
So, I tried the option in Odin to re0make the partition, and every time I try it fails with an error of "Can't Open Package" (or something along those lines).
I have reinstalled the FW through Odin no less than 10 times, nogo. The first time I open recovery after flashing, It says it is installing a package, clearing cache, etc, and the last line always says "-- Updating Application". After 10-15 seconds, that goes away and it reboots only to hang on the GT7Plus splash screen again. Then, any time I go into recovery after that first post-Odin instance, if says:
"# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
Should I be trying to reinstall Recovery? If so, what do I use (link)? Also, how do I do that in Odin...
I believe that for use remake partition you have to provide the pit file if your stock does not have it.
Anyway I did that also about 3 times, providing the pit and the md5, they flashed ok, but the problem was the same. Did you tried the battery thing? Some guy give a tip to start with the usb plugged.

Hey buddy..
Which fw u using? T869 came shipped with 2 different, search for both of them and try each one...don't use repartition without the correct pit file...
Maybe not here but I google sgh-t869 factory and found a website with both tar

I'm not sure which file it is that I'm using, I'll have to look at home in a couple of hours. This happened to me a few weeks ago (link in original post), and I flashed this FW with Odin and it recovered, and has been fine since (till now), so I know it's at least a usable FW. I'll try to find the other one today.
I just tried finding the stock pit file for the TMo SGH-T869, but I can't find it. Anyone have a link to it by chance? Also, once I get it, what do I do (options to choose) in Odin to flash it?... and do I do it at the same time as the FW?
Thanks for any help! I was really hoping to sell it in the next day or two to fund the Nexus7, so now I'm really frustrated.
ETA: Also, I let it completely die, to the point it wouldn't boot. Then charged it for a bit and booted. Same issue.
I think that if u find the pit file they should be flash at the same time...fw in pda and pit in phone...(this need to be check to confirm) after flashing.. reboot into factory recovery wipe everything and try to boot
Hopefully u fix that today

When it happened to me, i flashed the pit first and at the same with stock with re partition checked, didnt help. I did everything that I could find and I feel like it only worked again by itself
You can look every single thread of this exact problem, the ones that got it back working can't really say how, they flash everything many times and it suddenly works.
The good things are that flash the stock ones don't increase you flash count, and as long as you can enter download mode you are not really s#%

Anyone have a link to the .pit for this model (T869)?
Also, I had a thought. When I go into Recovery, I get the following and then it reboots again:
# Manual Mode #
-- Updating Application
1. Is it possible that recovery is hosed, and overwriting it with a fresh version will allow me to wipe the device, set to factory and then boot? Maybe this is the issue?
2. Is it even possible to just flash a fresh copy of the recovery over whatever is there (or replace it)?
2.a. If it is possible, what file should I use, and do I do it though Odin? Anyone have a link to what I should use?
Thanks :good:

Can anyone link me to the proper pit file? Also, in the linked thread a few posts back, there are a couple of files, will those work for this?
Can someone post the proper pit file for me so I can repartition? I'm doing this on my wife's phone because my internet at home is down till tomorrow...
Lastly, recovery. Since when I go into recovery it says "manual mode" then reboots, can I replace recovery only? Then I can wipe and whatnot in it and maybe that will do the trick. If so, can someone link me to the proper recovery and tell me how to do it in Odin? What happens if I watch the FW flash, then right after it completes the recovery portion, I unplug it? Bad?

i think u should forget about the pit file, couz the firmware have the pit repackage with the tar, im gussing u will only need the pit file in case u want to change the phone partitions, try to get those 2 fw and try them :good:
That's why I'd like the pit file, so I can check the option in Odin to re-partition.
So, I have internet at home now. I have now tried again letting it completely die, then completely charge, same issue. I have also tried 2 different versions of the SGH-T869 firmware.
Any thoughts?
Also, given what I have done so far, I posted this yesterday, any thoughts?

Yes. Unplug is bad. Possibly fatal. you should be able to.find a stock recovery.img in a stock Odin.tar, flash it with heimdall. Recommend factory reset beforeand after doing so.
I dont know about tmobile tabs but international ones look to apply CSC files after displaying that manual mode message. Perhaps something has gone awry with a CSC,etc.

Thank You. A few questions:
Would that stock recovery.img have to be model specific. i.e. for the SGH-T869, or could it be from any GT 7 Plus (or is it generic on all devices with HoneyComb)? I *think* from experience it has to be T869 specific, but it's worth asking.
Also, about Heimdall, where do I get that, and how do I use it to flash? I've heard of it, but never used it.
Lastly, about the CSC files. That makes sense seeing as what it's doing, so that *could* be the whole issue. How can I overcome that? Can I download and flash those files somehow? Do you have a link to them?
Thanks for the help everyone. I'm hoping that in doing all this, maybe whatever ends up fixing this will be a guide for everyone else having the issue...
OK, I saw a couple of you guys mention the 7.7 people having this issue, so I went there to research. If I am reading right, it *sounds* like this could be a solid mix of a data system being corrupted, and the stock recovery (Samsung e3?) being bad.
Someone mentioned that you can pull the stock recovery.img from a the firmware, make a .tar with only that, then flash that. Once that's done you can do a full wipe in recovery, flash the full FW, and hopefully be back in business.
I want to try this, and if it works, maybe we will have a proven solution for the people getting this issue. However, not only have I never created a .tar, I have especially never created a flashable .tar, so...
What do I do? Other than pulling the recovery.img from the FW, how do I do this?

[Q] Stuck on boot! Any Help?

Would anybody be able to provide any insight on how i could fix my s3 that appears to be stuck on boot? i received my warranty fixed device from samsung today and upon rerooting it, i forgot to unlock the bootloader i then went to the "Verizon has detected unauthorized software" screen. After which, I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 hoping to get back to stock. But after following these directions, the phone boots to a Samsung custom (Unlocked) screen and then it goes to the galaxy s3 boot screen and remains there, if anybody could provide any assistance, that would be awesome. I'd just hate to get laughed at if i bring it into a verizon store. thanks and happy holidays.

Are you 100% sure you was on MF1 and Verizon did not ship it to you with 4.3.
If you was on MF1 Odin should flash fine and resolve any issues. If you was on 4.3 than you have issues if you ran Odin

If it was fixed or replaced by Samsung they usually update to newest software before returning it. If it was on 4.3 and you tried to unlock it is now bricked beyond our ability to repair at this time.Can't unlock, flash custom recovery or downgrade to 4.1.2 or lower or it will brick. If was on 4.1.2 just need to Odin stock tar.If it hangs then a Factory reset in stock recovery will usually fix it. Need more info on what build you were actually on when started.

Remove .tar from zip and flash in Odin. If was on MF! it should fix with no more than a factory reset in stock recovery. Then run Beans casual to reroot and unlock.

Boot into download mode and on the screen where the option to continue or restart phone, choose to restart your phone. This worked for me just this morning, for some reason it bypasses the check.

[Q] Samsung note 2 n7100 not flashing from odin.

I put the wrong (country version) firmware when flashing the device from a custom rom. I put a UAE firmware for a Vietnam device. It crashes multiple times and i loose data signal.
Now when i flash the device with the right firmware, it completely installs and when i restart the device, nothing happens, its still the same old UAE kernal in the device. CWM also wont flash. A thread already exists but i think the solution is applied only for the Verizon version. How do i fix this?

ODIN Fails Every Time

Hi,
So I was trying to root my phone and it all went wrong. I have rooted tons of phones before, but never a Samsung (never again).
The phone will show the Samsung Boot screen, but then it either goes black, with a flashing blue LED, or it boots itself into recovery.
When I use ODIN, the flash fails at "system.img.ext4" whenever I use just the AP field. If I load all the fields in, it fails at "xbl.elf"
I got the firmware file from SamMobile, so I don't think that is the issue, but who knows. It's as if the phone no longer has an OS on it. I also tried using SmartSwitch as well, but I have no idea what the S/N on this phone is. It was originally a Sprint phone and was working fine, but I could never find the S/N. It is nowhere on the phone itself, and was not listed when I typed #*06#. All I have is the IMEI.
Finally, when it is in recovery, there is a message at the bottom that reads, "dm-verity verification failed".
Sorry for the bullet point style here, I am on mobile. If anyone can assist, I would be very grateful!

It does say something about binary in there. Binary 3 I believe. I'll have to try again to get the error.

sounds the firmware u are flashing is older than what you have on the device hence the fail
try to find newer firmware and try flashing it
download
Download official nougat from sam mobile then flash with Odin. It will definitely solve your problem

I may try this as well. I flashed the newest firmware I could find other than Nougat and I now have it booting all the way up and then after about a minute, it loops again. It is at least further along than before.
I just remembered one detail: The original issue began when I flashed a modified boot.img to the phone during a rooting attempt. Could this be what is still causing the issue and preventing a reformatting of the phone from solving the issue? So lost with this thing...
Try with latest firmware + pit file + tick re-partition

Sorry to revive this thread but did this work cause its currently happening to me
If your phone is an original, S/N may be engraved in the back... it's a little bit hard to note but put a spotlight near it so that you can identify it better.
hhh ^^

I'm noob
IDK, don't own this device.
Hint: Replace "phone" in this thread's title by Samsung Galaxy A20s-A207F/DS thus mainly owners of such phone get addressed.
