[Q] Galaxy Note 10.1 Stuck in bootloop - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have got Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT N8000) but 2 days back i tried to power it up but it didn't come ON. So I put it on charge thinking that battery might have drained off. Even after charging for 2 hrs, i tried to turn it ON but it will just stay on Boot loop; will show Galaxy Note 10.1 and keep rebooting to that screen.
I searched over the internet and multiple forums and found out that this is a common issue and some people have it resolved after reflashing the ROM using ODIN. I did all the steps but until now no success.
I was running official ROM and it was un-rooted.
Now I can only get into Download Mode (ODIN Mode). I have tried to flash using ODIN with official firmware available on SAM FIRMWARE but its of no use; although ODIN suggests that whole procedure has been completed successfully.
Anyone has any idea how to go ahead from this because I have tried all possible procedure but still no success.
Thanks!

Got it! But lemme know what more information is required?

I have this same problem on the 8010 though), stuck in bootloop
worst part is, it happened overnight while i was sleeping... looked at facebook before sleeping, and was met with the "samsung galaxy note" screen in the morning, and can only go into download mode, not into recovery mode
I did try this ( unbrick.itcse DOT com/unbrick-soft-bricked-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-gt-n8000-gt-n8010-and-gt-n8013/ )with Odin3 v1.85 and Odin3 v3.09
any other ideas?

do you have try : tab off, remove the backcover with a old credit card or a old phone card
in the middle, you have the power cable, remove from the battery 5 minutes times. replace the cable
and restart the tab

I ran into this exact problem after trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 firmware, to the original 4.1.2.
This is what I did to resolve the problem (worked for me anyway):
Power off unit
Remove any SD cards
Press Power and Volume Up to access Android system recovery mode
Select option for "wipe data/factory reset"
When complete, select option for "wipe cache partition"
Reboot
If this doesn't work, try re-installing your official original Samsung firmware, and in ODIN select the option for 'NAND erase all'. When that is completed, re-do the steps above.

Is there anyway to get out of this. It only shows the Samsung Galaxy Tab Logo, I can also get into recovery. I tried to wipe everything to see if it would boot up, but its still stuck on the startup screen. Any help would be much appreciated!!

this is very easy to fix fortunately you have not hard bricked LOL now follow my steps....
step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.
step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop
step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)
step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)
step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot
step6. sit back and enjoy lol.
thank me if it helps.

soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus
I have the same problem as described by kaizasoshi on a GT-P6210 (WIFI only model) and can get to download mode. I haven't been able to find a copy of Odin 1.8 to download so I have Odin 4.0.3 - hopefully that'll work. The megaupload link for Odin 1.8 gives you software Odin 1.8.2 which turns out to be some sort of MRI operating software.
I used the link provided in the response for the GT-P6200 model, did a search, and I can't find the firmware file for the P6210 anywhere on the site. I found a file elsewhere on XDA supposedly is the firmware file for my model P6210 and when adding to PDA I get an error "Invalid Image File Type" The file name that I found is named GT-P6210_XAR_P6210UEKL1_P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1\P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5
Does this sound right? Does anyone have any guidance for me (besides stop bricking my Tab)? Thanks
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
Well I found a version of Odin 1.8 and it took the tar file without an error message. I started flashing the file to my P6210 and it went well for a couple of minutes (about half a green bar in the first block). Then something went wrong and ODIN started alternating the below messages:
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
<ID:0/004>Added!!
<ID:0/004>Removed!!
And while showing the above, the P6210 screen started alternating between a black screen and the below message:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I watched this continue for over an hour in this loop (no progress on the green bar), then disconnected and reconnected the P6210. I launched Kies and tried troubleshooting but just got the alternating screen again on the P6210 and starts and stops of Kies troubleshooting. It looks like it's pretty hosed. Any suggestions?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
As an aside, the only thing I've done to the tablet was do a one step root about 3 months ago and I think two product updates afterwards (reapplied the root after each). The tablet ran OK but I started getting the auto shutdowns other have gotten, along with several instances of a warm battery and high battery rates of consumption. It didn't behave this way all the time. Finally two days ago, while on the charge,r I found it locked into the Tab startup screen. I could get it to boot into recovery but kept getting lots of red error messages, like it was looking for files that weren't there, then I'd reboot and it would go back to the locked startup screen.
Can you get into recovery by holding up and power on (release power after it boots, but hold volume up)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
Yes I can get to recovery now. Since my previous post, I recharged unit overnight and attempted to reflash OS. This time, Odin runs all the way until the first green box says PASS! Odin Message box says <OSM> All threads completed (succeed 1/failed 0). Then message box cycles thru ID 0/004 Removed ID 0/005 added!! then ID 0/005 Removed!!, then ID 0/005 Added!!
At this point Odin doesn't do anything else. The P6210 then starts giving a bunch of failed messages - failed to mount cache(no such file or directory), Can't mount /cache/recovery/command, then goes into Manual Mode then message failed to mount /efs (no such file or directory) install application for customer: Can't mount /efs copy application failed. Then meesage Applying multi CSC then failed to mount /efs, then multi_csc can't mount/efs
Then multi-csc applied failed.then more messages on failing to mount cache can't mount cache recovery log/last log
Then at this point the top of the screen offers rebot/apply update from sd/wipe data-factory reset/wipe cache partition. Through all of this I have not unplugged the P6210 from the PC.
I select reboot system now and press power button (still connected)
Get a bunch more messages about cant open cache recovery log. Then it goes to the Samsung Galaxy tab screen and just hangs.
It seems there's some files missing that is causing the unit to hang.
added/removed sounds like could be faulty wire connection.
which firmware are you trying to flash may we ask?
May be useful to find a .pit file with stock firmware, if there are any around for your device.

I've also tried changing the usb/samsung cable from aftermarket to OEM and changing USB port used on PC. Reflashed PDA file, No change. The reflash appears to complete but is followed by the error messages identified previously. The file I'm attempting to flash w/Odin 1.85 is named P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5. The file is 894.011 MB. I've downloaded it twice and no difference in flash result. I'm not having any luck finding a PIT file for the P6210.
Still looking for PIT file.

May I ask what you did to soft brick? Be good learning experience for everyone. Thanks.
soft brick galaxy tab 7.0 plus - continued
I've also found these 3 other files associated with the P6210. They are:
GT-P6210-MULTI-CSC-OXEKK1_RST.tar.md5
P6210_APBOOT_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
P6210_CODE_P6210XXKL2_CL583761_REV02_user_low_ship_16G.tar.md5
Would loading these files via Odin possibly help with my problem? I'm not sure which files would be loaded for the different parameters (PIT, BOOTLOADER, etc). It appears the CSC file would be loaded for CSC.
PS: I don't know what happened with kaizasoshi as far as how his TAB problem initiated, but mine had been experiencing SOD, auto shutdowns and warm battery when plugged into charger over night for the previous several weeks. I picked it up one morning off the charger and the P6210 was frozen on the startup screen and wouldn't finish boot or shut down. It would go into recovery using the power and volume switches.
hi all, i have the same similar problem as TS but mine's a P6200 tab, heard that i need a pit file & the firmware ver(singapore) to flash it...
where do i get those files including odin? i got the firmware via sammobile.com, but no idea to get the pit & odin files,... will any kind souls direct me to them?
I found a PIT file a few days ago, supposedly for the P6200 using Google. I don't know if it works or not. I have a P6210, so I don't think I can use a P6200 PIT.
PIT Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2856
ODIN Link:
http://www.cpkb.org/wiki/Samsung_Odin#Samsung_Odin3_download_links
Pick a version. 1.81 and 1.85 seem popular.
any new updates on this? im having the exact same problem and have tried all the previously mentioned files through Odin with no positive results. any help would be appreciated. i have a US version 6210
yeah.. dont flash a tab plus firmware unless you're sure its for your specific model
either T869-Tmobile/WifiGT-P6210/or G version GT-P6200. If youve flashed the previously mention files, you've probably done some serious damage.
Best option now: Find a device specific firmware WITH a .pit file, flash with Odin/Heimdall with fngers crossed.
Other options: tell them you hooked it up to iTunes to sync your media.. lololol
hope you get warrantied..

well that just sucks!! honestly with all the SODs and reboots i just wish samsung would give me my $350 because this thing hasnt worked well from the begining. guess its back to samsung

Bricked :(

Not sure what happened. I have played around with recoveries and ROMs on my Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (WiFi only) (GT-P6210MAYXAR), but I thought I was at factory.
I woke this morning to find myself stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" screen.
When I reboot holding the VOLUME DOWN key, I get stuck on "Warning!! A customer IS can cause critical problems in tablet and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OK, press the volume up key. Otherwise press the volume down key to cancel."
Volume Up key gets me trapped in a screen endlessly that says
"ODIN Mode.
Product Name: GT-P6210.
Custom Binary Download: No.
Current Binary: Samsung Official."
"Downloading... Do not turn off target!!!"
Booting with Volume Up held gets me to a screen that says "Manual Mode... Updating Application" but then just reboots stuck again in "Samsung Galaxy 7.0 Plus" screen.
Can anybody help??
Try factory reset from manual mode. You will lose any saved data apps.

yeah best bet is ODIN to stock. if it still hangs it usually needs a factory reset.
Same issue
I was running the HD ROm for the 6210 Tab and I woke up this morning screen showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7,0 plus" logo and will no go further. I tried going back to stock and still no go. Is there a way to unroot via odin. I think that is the problem.

when I say I tried going back that was via odin using the stock image. It freezes with that bugdroid with red exclamation point witch I think means you can't do this because it's rooted. Please help.
problem between chair and keyboard. I was flashing the wrong rom, it's back up now.

hey Knox, I think I have the exact same problem. did you have any luck solving it? i did try to ODIN the EUKA firmware (vs the newer one linked in this thread) and it seemed to flash ok, but it still hangs at the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus" and if i use power and volume + to go into recovery it starts to load and reboots.
Ok. not sure what I did, but I used ODIN to load the firmware linked in this thread (the hotfile link) and it worked, my tab booted up. I was on my way out the door to work, so I haven't had a chance to mess with it yet, but it appears to be fixed.... phew!!!
Just happened to me. Same symptoms of OP. Tried to flash the stock that I got from checkfus, nothing changed.
I will try with the one linked to this thread.
Very strange, I was using the tab, the screen went off, tried to turn it on and nothing. Long press for reboot, and got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus" screen.
Edit: By the way, if your tab is in this situation and you can't turn it off while downloading the firmwares: plug it to pc (or charger), press power button. The charge animation will appear, just plug the tab off.
Edit2: What I have tried so far:
* Flashed the stock brazilian rom I got with checkfus;
* Flashed The stock rom someone posted on this thread (hotfile) link;
* Flashed the stock US rom from post 82 of official stock rom from devs section;
* Let battery die an try to flash again (yeah, I known, silly right?)
Just like the OP, when I try to enter manual mode(recovery), it says something about installing some apks and reboots.
If I try to enter the download mode, it enters and I can flash the rom, but after processes end the tab reboots. There are some messages and then the last message is again something about installing some apks and again it reboots.
For what I saw those are symptoms of corrupted data partition or partition table of the internal memory. Seems like there are some threads about this exact error on 7.7 forum.

not sure if it would matter, but i can tell you when i used odin to flash the hotfile linked file in this thread, i left it plugged into the computer after it flashed while it was booting and that is when it booted up finally (the first time i flashed using odin i unplugged it as soon as it tried rebooting)... hope that helps.
Thanks buddy, got it back after letting its battery drain and full charging. It took a while but then the animated samsung logo appears. I don't really think it did the trick, but as it was the last thing i did...

Hi Sir,
If you still have the problem, I have a theory: Your Power Button are always pressed because of a problem on it. This could hapen after some time of use. I thought in this theory because you said that you enter in the "updating aplication" just pressing the vol button and in normal conditions its needed to press power and vol key same time to enter in this screen.
Try to shake the power button a litle bit to see if it release the contacts. If it didnĀ“t work you should needsend it to repair.
Hope I help in some way.

I have this same problem currently to the "T" I have also had this happen to me before, and flashed stock from Odin with no issues! Yearlater and here we go again but this time like previous posters it doesnt seem to work.
Question;
Last time I remember putting files in PIT, PDA, and CVC? This time only the TAR file in PHONE. When I try it in PDA the process fails. But anyway. Am I missing some files or?
Also I was able to flash CM Recovery and can boot into it now and have tried doing a factory reset that way to no avail. Anything else I could do through CM Recovery? Maybe put a custom ROM on my micro SD?

No download mode, no recovery, detected by odin, not kies

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.

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.

2 years later .... did you ever unbrick this? I'm dealing with a P5113 now that's stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. <sigh>

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

[Q] tab 2 7.0 P3110 stuck at Samsung Tab 2 7.0 screen unable to boot to recovery

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
As for the rest, I'm not familiar

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
Eureka
Dude I totally got into recovery mode.
I downloaded CWM (clockwordmod) 6.0.1.1 SuperSU 0.96 Busybox 1.2.0.2 md5 file.
You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880010
In the first post there are attached files.
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!
Cheers.

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.

PLEASE HELP ME with galaxy S2 SHW-M250K Boot problem

Please guys, my galaxy S2 SHW-M20K (Korean) is in trouble.
I bought it from a 2nd hand shop , and it was runing Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (rooted stock rom). I had no problem with it till today when I tried to install "CWM Recovery", After searching the web i found a post with two files that supposedly could do the task. These files are:
1. CWM_KT_M250K.tar
2. Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18.tar
Using Odin, I triedd the first file but it couldn't work, and the phone could not boot so i downloaded the "rooted factory firmware" and flashed the phone. Everything was ok. Later I tried the second file. Again the phone could not boot and stuck at the logo with a yellow triangle. After waiting for about 5 minutes I tried to shut it down by pressing the power button it did'nt respond. (Now this is a point that I regret), I removed the battery as a way of forcing to turn it off.
Now my phone cannot boot. It doesn't respond to power button, neither does it allow me to enter recovery mode nor download mode. But When i connect to the charger or pc, it start charging and keeps cutting off the charging frequently. But it only allows me to enter download mode when connected to pc. When I tried to flash the "rooted factory firmware", again, the flashing goes smoothly but when the phone starts rebooting it fails as if there is a power cut. Is my battery damaged? Can someone give me a guide on how to fix it?
I need your help gus, I am not an expert in the rootings and roms,
Pardon My English. It's a foreign language to me.

As u mentioned, I think that your phone has gone to a Soft Brick. I don't know much about the Korean build, so Google it to solve the Soft Brick. Try flashing the stock rom via odin but I don't recommend it since it may cause your phone to be hard bricked if not done properly.
So go to the service centre, you'll get more help there

I thank you sir for responding to this. From what you have said, I think the best decision is to take it to Samsung service center. (For I have tried to google it but I couldn't get a solution). I would also like to know if it is repairable, and about the cost, is it worth repairing or should I think of buying a new phone?
I am stranded.
