P3100 logo only - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed all the necessary drivers and odin and recovery on my laptop.
The tab2 is giving error on pc (this device wont start) mtp uSB. THe tab is stuck at 'samsung p3100' logo.
Odin wont recognize it.
I cannot get into odin mode or recovery.
If it is any help, I have a working p3100 also running on stock firmware.
what should be my next step? I think I can manage if only I can get odin to recognize my phone or get into recovery (both of which seem to be missing.)
PS: I had a thread running in the general forum but think I will get more and proper answers here.

[Q] bricked samsung galaxy 5830m not detected by pc

I flashed my phone with cm10 I think? every thing went fine with that it was successful, however when the phone rebooted it stops at the samsung logo. The unit will not go into recovery mode. When I put it into download mode the screen shows odin d/l mode and the model is 5830i but my model is 5830m. also the computer does not even detect my device. where do I go from here?
Download a ROM for the 5830m with an Odin install. Go into download and install the ROM with Odin.
pc does acknolwedge that a device is connected
pc does acknowledge that a device is connected, it's as the pc doesn't know that a device is connected,( yes I loaded samsung drivers and Kies). What am I doing wrong?

[Q] P6800 not recognized in recoverymode

Hi,
I've been trying to step up from 4.0.4 ICS to JB, but I'm stuck in recoverymode because win7 doesn't recognize my Tab.
When the Tab is booted normally there's no problem, so the drivers are there.
But the moment I boot up using power+vol up -> device not recognized or malfunctioning.
I've tried 2 pc's , even reinstalled windows on 1 to make sure it was a clean system.
tried running odin 3.07 and 1.85 before attaching the usb-cable
I even removed KIES to make sure it wasn't running (left the drivers on my system)
(I used Odin 1.85 to upgrade from 3.2 to 4.04 last year)
What am I missing?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Used Odin Mobile pro to flash JB(singapore), Tab is working, usb is recognized,
but still Odin(desktop) doesn't

Trapped in Download Mode [Possible Brick]

Hi everybody, Yesterday my friend and i were trying to upgrade his Samsung Galaxy Core (GT-I8260L) from official stock jellybean 4.1.2 to kitkat 4.4.4 unnoficial. We rooted it succesfully, installed Super SU, and BusyBox. Then we downloaded a TWRP file to flash it through ODIN. the flash was succesfull but when the phone rebooted it got stuck at the download mode. It doesnt boot, and we can't acces the recovery by any means. it just turns the screen on and show the download mode screen (picture attached).
We have tried everything, but the thing is that the device isn't recogogniced by the pc (We've tried in a win 8.1 and win 7 pc, but had no luck.). It fails to install the right drivers. we've tried to download almost every samsung phone drivers, but none of them worked. ODIN also fails to recognize it.
we also tried Heimdall, but when we try to install the drivers it does recognize the phone as 'MSM7x27' for some reason.
We also have problems setting up the 'SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device Driver', failing to make it work every time we tried to configure it (Automatic Windows Driver Install or Downloading it manually).
I hope someone can at least guide us through the solution or suggest a way to fix it.
Thanks in advance

how to bring back p3100 (solved)

I usually keep flashing ROMS.
This time in sheer confidence I didnt charge the battery full.
I was switching from mokee 4.4 to CM11.
I wiped everything for a fresh install and unfortunately CM11 didnt install.
The tab restarted and now it wont go into recovery. what just happened?
It is just showing logo and I cannot get into Odin more either.
The tab had about 30% battery when it shut off and I cannot reach a charger for it for the next 4 hours.
Can I switch it off in any way to save battery?
the phone has switched off now. Is service center the only alternative? the tab was rooted with mokee installed.

Try charging it when you have time and then try re flashing the stock Rom before taking it to service center
will the tab 2 charge without a recovery or ROM in place?

Try reinstalling drivers
@shsagnik : Thank you very much for helping out.
I got installed all drivers by using the other P3100. But when I connect the bricked p3100, pc doesnt install MTP USB drivers. Under device manager it says " failed to start".
ODIN doesn't recognize it. either.
My mistake was I flashed everything on the phone including the internal memory.
PS: Can I force ODIN to recognize my phone?
Ok, my almost bricked device is back and runnning.
This might just help somebody. but my android handset was on a logo only mode. something in the combination of
Attaching it to pc (windows 7 64-bit)
re-installing and rejigging drivers
trying to let ODIN identiify
connecting via Samsung kies (I also tried restore on kies).
connecting a working android phone instead of the dead phone with pc to find and install drivers.
worked.
PS: I also let it sit dead powered off (worked only when charger was attached) for a whole day before trying to boot into recovery or bootlaoder (both worked).

[Completed] galaxy s3 soft brick? can boot into recovery but not into download mode

hello, I searched but cannot seem to find this situation.
Phone stops at first samsung logo that shows model no and goes no further.
SD card is formatted and there is nothing on it (no backups).
I can boot into recovery (not always), but not download mode. There is nothing available in recovery as card is formatted.
I normally use linux, but used odin in windows.
USB drivers are ok except mtp connection to phone via usb. Phone is recognized as Samsung Android device. I used developer usb drivers and not kies; Should I have used kies.
If someone could point me to a thread that'd be ideal for this situation, I'd appreciate it.
edit:
every once in a while I can log into download mode or recovery. Phone keeps restarting and I have to remove the battery to turn it off and then enter download or recovery.
I can't seem to get the windows drivers to work as the phone is in either booting or in download mode when installing drivers.
