[Q] P6810 Problem! - Won't go to Recovery - Bootloop

Hi, I'm having and issue with my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (P6810) and don't know what is the problem, so I'm looking for assistance here. (Thanks in advance).
Let me describe my issue(s):
1. A friend went to flash the Tab and apparently used the wrong firmware, in Odin mode shows GT-P7560.
2. I already tried flashing different firmwares but when I use ICS the Tab goes into a bootloop. I can go to download (odin) mode, but can't go to recovery mode (volume up + power).
3. I flashed it with a stock firmware (P6810DTKL5_P6810XSAKL2_XSA) and got it to boot, but is asking for a password it never had.
So I'm thinking there's an issue with the partition or bootloader. Already tried a "p6810-16g.pit" file with no luck
Tried flashing different CWM versions and nothing works. So at this point I'm stuck on this issue.
What can I do to bring back my device to a functional state? Any advice would be appreciated! THANKS A LOT!! :good::laugh:
I'm attaching the images describing the issues.

You don't need a bootloader, it was already "flashed" when he flashed the stock official firmware - bootloader would have been included in that and PIT
If done correctly, the PIT should work, if not - unfortunately, most likely back for repair............ bummer
Without actually checking the above is HC, have you tried the official HoneyComb firmware ? Just don't factory reset in HC recovery

P6810 ICS LPP Bootloader
Here you go............
I have packaged my P6810 ICS LPP bootloader files into an ODIN flashable .tar.mD5 format.
Flashing Instructions :
Extract the Sbl.bin.zip and boot.bin.zips so that you have Sbl.bin.tar.md5 & boot.bin.tar.md5
Ensure you have the latest Samsung USB drivers installed
Disable KIES
Disable KIES process in Task Manager
Run ODIN
Ensure ONLY "auto reboot" and "reset time" are checked
Device in Download mode
Connect device to PC USB port
ODIN - Flash Sbl.bin.tar.md5 in either "bootloader" -or- "PDA" option (choose one only)
Then repeat above same method to flash boot.bin.tar.md5
** After that, try reflash the COMPLETE official stock ICS LPP package with ODIN
Best of luck

Hi, thanks for your assistance... here's what I just did:
1. I downloaded the bin files you attached and both are appearing as invalid md5 in ODIN, apparently the hash is invalid.
2. I renamed them from .tar.md5 to just .tar and flashed my device with both files as you described.
3. Rebooted twice, went to Download mode again.
4. Flashed with P6810XXLPP_P6810XSALJ2 (stock firmware).
5. Got bootloop again.
6. Re-flashed the "Sbl.bin" & "boot.bin" again, and still got bootloop.
7. Download mode still shows "P7560" as the installed firmware.
Any other advice?
Thanks again! :good:

Can you check them and re-upload if there's no problem?

I'll have a play around on my device first, and see if I can get them to work. Those were untested.

Very strange, particularly if the flash was successful.....................
Try flashing both the files at once. boot.bin in "bootloader" and SBl.bin in "PDA".
Maybe something else we haven't thought of..
If I think of anything else, will let you know, but try the stock HC firmware too, just in case.

Tried the steps above and still the same.
I had to flash back to the stock HC firmware because the ICS led into an infinite loop, at least HC let me turn off the device.
I'll wait for any other suggestions, thanks!

All I can suggest is to send it away for repair.
JTag (riff box) by a 3rd party or Samsung.
If it's NOT a hardware issue, JTag should be much cheaper, and if successful, faster.

Help greatly appreciated - S6 G920F Bootloop after odin flash

Hello folks. Today I did a cache, system, data wipe in TWRP on my G920F. After that I tried to restore a nandroid backup, but it failed and when I tried to restart it said there was no OS installed. So the phone wouldn't boot. I figured I did something wrong so I downloaded a 5.1.1 stock rom (UK) and flashed it with odin. But after the flash the phone would just bootloop. How can I revive the phone? Tried flashing the firmware again using another version of odin and also, I did a factory reset from the stock recovery, but no dice. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hey there,
check this thread here, should help (use TWRP to flash a ROM instead of Odin, links in thread).
Good luck!

Managed to make it work flashing another official rom, then factory reset. Lost all my files though...
Can be closed. Thanks!

How can i make TWRP flash a rom when Galaxy S6 doesn't have SD card to put the rom in the phone?

Connect the phone to your PC and copy the ROM file to its root folder (just open "phone" and drop it there).
Using TWRP's "install" menu, you can browse your files and point it to this one; usually you're already in the right directory.

I wish that was so easy. I am on bootloop on my second day and i can fix it. I am getting crazy here. Nothing work - Kies, Smart Switch or Odin.

None of these three will help, i'm afraid.
The bootloop issue is a result of system write protection with 5.1.1 version, the phone tries to override a flashed recovery-
if it succeeds in automatically rebooting after you flashed, you're stuck on bootloop.
You have to flash a new kernel and root user via Odin, then flash TWRP and use it to install a new ROM.
A short description in this thread here, have a look.
As long as you can get into download mode, don't worry, nothings bricked :good:

THANKS A LOT for the info. I have today worked for about 8-9 hours to fix it. I will try read tomorrow on the site you put there and also read about how to put files to TWRP - since i don't have a SD card on my S6.

Okay, i have done almost all of what you said.
But what im thinking about is the thread your refering to is to a S6 Edge and not for SM-G920F model.
But so far so good.
What kernel to you want me to flash? How can i root via Odin when i don't have USB-debugging on - But i can according to the thread, install SuperSU via TWRP.
I didn't know what kernel i had on, but i managed to install TWRP, install SuperSU via TWRP, pushing my stock rom to TWRP. But when installing the stock rom, it says "no md5 file found" or something like that. What am i doing wrong?

Should work on both Edge and normal.
I have the G920F and did it this way, i also had problems, by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62550973&postcount=29
I recommend chosing an XtreStoLite ROM, the odexed version is an "improved stock" one, comes with a modified UniKernel and runs much smoother than stock.
Anyway, in TWRP, there is an option to skip md5 checking for backup files and for skipping the zipfile-check; not sure if you can also disable md5sum-checks.
Maybe you should try downloading the ROM from here or sammobile.de, verify the md5-sum yourself to make sure it is fine, and flash that one.
If TWRP doesn't think the ROM file is ok, it probably isn't ...
here's the odexed version of XtreStoLite:

Okay, i have flashed TWRP, installed the kernel and Super SU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866). But i can't flash the modem and bootloader for the XtreStoLite because it gives me Nand write error. I tried then to install XtreStoLite from TWRP which installed correctly but still doesn't fix the bootloop. I can read that i WILL get the bootloop if not using the correct modem and bootloader, but for some reason i am not able to flash them. Any help here? Or am i doing everything wrong here?

Alright, you have root access and TWRP is running.
All you have to do is install the ROM file (unextracted, as a .zip) from your phone`s root folder; if your model is a G920F, the bootloader should be 5.1.1 and work, no need to change.
When exactly does Odin give you the error message, right after you click start or after a few secs of flashing?
I suspect the issue to be related to first reboot after flashing the recovery,.
When finished flashing TWRP, did you successfully boot into recovery menu be pressing vol up+home+power?
If you saw the bootloop screen then, you`ll have to do it again, i'm afraid:
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. (...) Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

I know, it`s annoying; but give it another try:
use Odin 3.1.0.7 (run with admin rights), do a full wipe and install TWRP 2.8.7.
When doing so and Odin gives you the "finished/successfully flashed" message, immediately press & hold the key combo to get into recovery; don`t wait for the scrteen to change or unplug the phone, you need to be damn quick here.
If you have done it right, you are in TWRPs recovery menu.
From there, install the XtreStoLite ROM after doing a factory reset; reboot and you should be fine.
Aaaarrgh we will get this thing running, goddammit

What i did was install stock android via Odin.
Flashed TWRP
Flashed Alex V kernel first, then SUPER SU.
Flashed XtreStoLite and it still gives me bootloop.
What i can't manage to do is after flashing TWRP, then i am not fast enough to press Shutdown button, home button, and volume up button before the Samsung logo appears. I think that is the problem.

That IS the problem, i think :fingers-crossed:
Solved the same problem at reddit, take a look: reddit thread
Unfortunately, you must flash TWRP again to try once more, as soon as the samsung logo apperars, your custom recovery is overridden and thats it.
So now, take a deep breath, lean back and try again.
As soon as you have clicked to start the flashing procedure, press the 3 butons firmly, simultaneously and quick as lightning-
hold them down till it boots into TWRP.
Come on, even i have managed it after a few tries

HMMM. I see.
It's not possible for me to boot into TWRP without the Samsung logo appears. I press the start, the same time i press the start, i press Power, Home and Volume Up button but still the logo appears. It takes 4 sec and it have flashed the TWRP. It's not possible...

So, for some reason you can't enter recovery mode.
This could be
a) TWRP is not installed correctly (did you use the .img ot the .tar-file? Odin needs the .tar-format: link )
or
b) the kernel you flashed doesn't work with this-
here is the one i have used to root my S6.
I would try to reflash above Unikernel first, if you used the .img-file of TWRP rather than the .tar to flash TWRP,
do it again with the .tar file instead.
If this fails, the last thing would be to flash a unmodified stock ROM to restore the original setup including the bootloader...
i will look into this now a little bit deeper, there has to be a workaround.
Best of luck for now, we stay in touch
EDIT: the developer of XtreStoLite recommends another way with Chainfire's root:
Flash CF-Root for your model with Odin - Make sure you have an custom recovery installed (I advise you to use TWRP) (2.8.7.1 or newer REQUIRED for v.2.1 > of this ROM!!)

If the bootloader is your problem, you can update to the newest versions of bootloader and modem for your model following these instructions:
edgarf28`s instructions
I will do this right now, for a new version of XtreStoLite was just released today and i will upgrade.
Keep me informed

I can enter the recovery mode (TWRP) but not before the Samsung logo appears when i install TWRP. I have tried many times and i still can't enter TWRP before the samsung logo appears for 1-2 secs.
I am not able to flash Edgar28s bootloader and modem because it always gives me nand write error fail. I think it's because i'm not rooted with CFautoroot - and to get rooted with that way, i have to have USB debuggin on which i don't have.
What i think is, that i was very close but i still can't manage to enter TWRP (after installing) without the samsung logo appears for 1-2 secs. Because what you said before "Unfortunately, you must flash TWRP again to try once more, as soon as the samsung logo apperars, your custom recovery is overridden and thats it."
So what do you think now?
And btw thanks for all the help so far. I'm trying my best and following your steps but i always think i'm very close. I'm also so close to destroy my phone but i've read so many places that "it's only a softbrick, that can be fixed very easy".

OK, so you can enter the TWRP menu and install a ROM, right?
Any stock ROM from sammobile.com includes firmware, kernel and bootloader, so flashing the right one of these should reset all this.
Give it a try, for i think TWRP is actually working- otherwise you wouldn't get to the screen.
If the phone runs again with stock firmware, you can then flash a custom ROM.
And yeah, we're close, this can be only a minor flaw...it's near impossible to brick your android phone, so they say.
Don't worry mate, and be assured you're not the only one:
i just got stuck on bootloop also for a few minutes after upgrading to the newest version of XtreStoLite, which came out today.
Using TWRP, i could just flash back the previous version and all's good again.
Cya tomorrow...
EDIT:
I read through your previous comments again; the "md5sum"- issue seems to be a problem with the ROM file itself (corrupted or wrong version).
I'd bet that flashing the correct stock firmware for your carrier and model will solve the problem.
So enter the exact model number (like G920FXXU3COI9 or such) you have, get the right ROM and flash it with Odin 3.10.7
I couldn't find a denmark carrier on sammobile, eventually you have to look here at XDA, there's a list of stock imges as well.
Read lots of threads around this issue, almost all solved the problem flashing a stock ROM again.
Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, i've never had problems entering TWRP menu. I can flash stock firmware via Odin but i can never do it via TWRP because it's says no md5 file found error - tho i can flash XtreStoLite (i think it's because it says aroma installer).
I've read many places about the md5 file error, but for some reason, i can't figure out how to fix it.
No, there is no Denmark model, but we have NEE (Nordic). The only stock firmware i can install is XEF (i don't remember where i got that from actually).
I will try agian and flash stock android via TWRP AND read about the md5 file error now/later. Tomorrow i will call the store i got the phone from and tell them i have a hardware issue or something like that. The guy owns a store for sellings covers, cases and stuff like that. He got the phone from Samsung free and sold it brand new in the package with 1 year warranty, so i will contact him tomorrow if i can't figure out how to flash stock android via TWRP or if it gives me error about the md5 file.
Talk to you tomorrow.
Update: I can not flash NEE model via Odin. Only XEF model - i also found out it was French firmware.

Newest bootloader & modem

I want to flash the latest bootloader and modem to my G920F. But the problem is, that I have no idea for what is this etc. Could someone explain, could I install the bootloader and a modem with a different designation than my rom? For example, I have now COI9, can i flash another modem than with the designation COI9? I someone could, please link to the latest version, thank you!

You dont need to do it... Always stick with the modem and bootloader same as the system... Mixmatching those files can couse battery drain ( radio interference , deep sleep problems ) ... For the time ive used the s6 COI9 was the best modem i ever tested.. So stay with OI9

yes and no ... as i said mixing ap,bl,cp can cause weird stuff ... for my opinion is IO9 BTU ... best battery life and less bloatware ... and i think will be the 1st to get MM official ...

Hi,
I have this galaxy s6 that only boots in download mode.. I literally flashed every stockrom and recovery etc. Have you got any other solution I could try? I tried pit file but it gives me an error... maybe it's not the right pit file. PLS ow pretty PLS, give me a link to a good debloated odin flashable stock rom and a good pit file. I'm pretty desperate about this phone. it does boot in download so I guess this phone is still fixable. I also tried Nand Erase All option, it passes but still no normal boot nor recovery. so can you tell me where to find a good rom and pit file?
Thanks in advance

I've been there with my S6 Edge...only a week ago while I was installing LineageOS. I was feeling pretty hopeless for awhile but installing a custom ROM got my phone to the point where it was usable again. I'm still burning through firmware variations from sammobile in search of a better modem but at least I got it working again. Odin is your friend.

Why can't you get into recovery? If you can get your phone into download mode, then you can use Odin to install TWRP which will give you access to recovery. You said you had the S6 right, not Edge? You can get TWRP for that version here https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxys6.html and then install it with Odin. After that, boot into recovery, and then plug your phone into a computer and transfer your ROM onto the phone and install it. If you aren't able to get that part of it done, then the stock firmware for your S6 may be available for download from https://www.sammobile.com/ and those can be flashed using Odin. If one of those doesn't work, try a different one until you find one that works. Good luck; don't lose hope. I have found my S6 Edge resilient and hard to permanently brick.

I thought I was done for last week when I flashed a package from Sammobile that my phone didn't like and it resulted in Error message from Odin. After that, download mode showed up as wrecked and said to use Smartswitch to enter emergency recovery mode. I tried a few versions of Smartswitch but they all kept saying my device was unsupported. I went to sleep feeling pretty lousy.
The next day I started fresh and had a few more packages from Sammobile to try. Even with the message about "emergency recovery mode", I was able to install a new Sammobile package using Odin. That replaced modem, system, bootloader, everything the phone needed. Except the phone was stuck in a bootloop and kept restarting every time it go to the "installing android" part of the boot process. At that point I shut the phone down and installed the latest TWRP recovery, booted into recovery, and transferred my ROMs + GApps onto it and then installed them following the ROM's installation instructions. It was pretty hairy for awhile but my persistence paid off and now it works again. Hopefully you get yours working.
What do you mean "nothing wakes up this phone" does it hang at a particular part?

I don't think you can. You need to install TWRP recovery in download mode before you can flash ROMs. Is that what you're having problems with?

Thanks for sticking up with me. We'll, the phone only boots in download mode. I flashed literally everything... From custom recoveries to stock roms, also had the smarts witch notification but smarts switch nor Kies doesn't fix the problem. I tried flashing recoveries, different versions, nothing. What I mean with waking up the phone... Well even after a successful Odin stock firmware flash, the phone doesn't boot by itself. Tried with the auto reboot ticked off but... Yeah... The phone only boots in download mode. But in download mode I see that it says CUSTOM BINARY,.... so... It flashes but... It's not booting. Not even getting a starting up screen that freezes... Nothing...all black... Only download mode. I just now tried converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file... Flashed it... Failed... Blablabla... This s6 is giving me a hard time! now, it' s a phone from a college that actually threw the phone in the garbage... But I retrieved it and I wanted to fix this s6. It's a good phone... It goes in download mode so.... That thought keeps me hopeful!
Again thanks for the support...

okay so, tried a couple more firmwares...they all pass in odin but not booting my phone. also not in recovery. tried flashing twrp and stuff but can't get it to boot! It doesn't hang on a screen. it just doesn't boot. only on download mode I get it to boot. Could this be a hardware problem?? I think not because it boots in download mode. Maybe try to flash bootloaders? Are there other recoveries? CWM, Philz touch?

Backup data from S7 using Recovery mode? because phone isn't booting android

Hi,
I've got an Samsung Galaxy S7 which won't boot android anymore. this was after the phone was hot.
Recovery and download mode works. Is there a way to copy photos to a computer or sdcard somehow?
Thanks

If you connect your phone to your computer - Does the computer see the phone?
If you have your music and photos on the external sd card (if your pc doesn't see the phone) you could copy from the external sd card with a sd card reader - I believe that if you can boot into recovery that you can cope files from the phone to the pc as well.

no external sd card, otherwise there was no problem

Could we have some more information please?
Is the device Knox tripped or otherwise modified? (Rooted, custom recovery, custom firmware)
What's the model number?
What's the firmware build number?(The stock recovery will say).
Is the device encrypted?
(If you've set up Samsung Cloud or Google Photos backup you might have better luck there)

I don't think you can enter MTP mode with the phone only working from recovery and download mode. Simply install a ROM via TWRP but do not wipe internal storage. Once the phone boots up to android, retrieve your files.
Good luck

I'm able to boot in download mode.
Odin recognize the phone. is flashing possible without loosing data(only care about stuff on the internal SD card. loosing settings and apps is not a problem.

Official firmware, so likely encrypted. Boot into recovery and take note of the build number and CSC. Download the exact same firmware from a site like SamMobile. Using Odin, flash the BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC(NOT the plain CSC) packages in the firmware package by placing them in their relevant slots. It will make like it's doing a system update and take long to boot, but should result in a workable device with your data intact.

hi seems that recovery not working either,i've tried but can't get into recovery. sometimes a red text appears on the top left screen. something about sandforcing.

Samsung old and new style of firmware packaging. They used to place all parts into a single package(AP), customised per region. This had the disadvantage of requiring a complete different firmware package for every region with little actual differences. New Samsung firmware comes broken up into the BL(bootloader), AP(system, kernel, recovery), CP(modem firmware) and CSC(recovery package which applies all region settings) packages. This way only the CSC needs to be changed per region.
At absolute minimum you should flash the AP and HOME_CSC/CSC package. (Though only if you're sure you're flashing the same firmware as the current or you may trip knox)
The general rule is if you flash AP, then CSC must be flashed aswell, otherwise the firmware becomes very buggy.
The regular CSC file wipes storage, while HOME_CSC does not, but will only work if the current CSC matches the firmware package
If you like you may use Smart Switch Emergency firmware recovery instead, but beware, as it's known to mess up more often than not

Did it perhaps say "SEAndroid not enforcing"? That means it's an unofficial recovery image. Not sure how that could happen. Seems like firmware was corrupted somehow.

Wrong firmware I'm afraid. Notice your screenshot says the device is a SM-G930F, these are SM-G935F files for the Galaxy S7 Edge. Also, since we don't know what firmware revision the device is on, you *need* to flash the BL and CP parts too.
Could you please check the bottom of your box? You need the three-letter CSC code. If you get it wrong your data is toast.
So final process is:
1. Check your box for the CSC code
2. Select your CSC in the "Select Country" dropdown https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/
3. Download the latest firmware
4. Flash BL, AP, CP and HOME_CSC from the package.
5. Device should auto-reboot and will ask you for your lockscreen passphrase.

oops, sorry. copy paste the wrong files.

just extract your firmware with win rar and copy recovery.img to your desktop
there is a tool for making .tar file from .img called tar-Tool .
with tar tool you can make .tar from .img files
convert recovery.img to recovery.tar with this tool
flash it in pda (AP) in odin . now you can go to recovery mode
then wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

That means Odin didnt finish one of its operations. You need to use Odin 3.12+. The device wont let you do anything else until it registers a successful flash in download mode.
I think it's best to just use Smart Switch.

Beware that the internal SD will be wiped, but since the CSC is nowhere to be seen I think thats the only way, sorry.

thank you a lot but i have another question after i ran a boot.tar from firmware.obi my phone is stuck on the boot logo what can i do to move on and is it safe if i boot the files u sent me with the current state of my phone? also the download will be ages since the speed for non premium is 15kb/sec

To return the phone to a stock condition, you flash the ROM using Odin which will overwrite everything with the possible exception of the data partition.
If the phone is stuck at the boot logo, have you tried a factory reset from stock recovery?
You can try this link: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G930W8 or https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-G930W8
I don't know about download speeds for the above-two links as I have never used them before but other XDA members have.

i have tried going into the boot menu for factory reset but no luck the phone just resets,im starting the odin method right now with the thing you provided, also do i fill all the blanks (like the csc,ap and cp?) in odin?

After downloading the file from sammobile.com, unzip the file once (I use 7zip) to yield the necessary files. Each file will be preceded by the blank or slot location.

so i managed to get this phone back to its original state when it was frp locked by downloading software from sammobile but it still remembers the google account... i will try to download a older version of android and run that to hopefully get the phone to 6.0.1 or whatever the original version was and try some older ways to frp unlock my phone because the older version will have less security patches. hopefully this works! thanks for the help so far .:good:

I'm not sure that you can downgrade once the phone has been updated.
Good luck.

same here, stuck without solutions. tried pretty much everything found on the internet carefully and taking the time to do it.. but still...

i still need help can someone find a way to unlock my phone?

One way to remove frp lock is to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) for your phone and then use the wipe -> format data (and type 'yes' when asked, without the quotes). Restart the phone and let the system boot. After it boots you can procede to flash the stock rom
* P.S. 1: flashing a custom recovery will trigger KNOX so say bye bye to S Health if you are not planning to root the phone (so as to be able to edit the build prop and enable SHealth again) after flashing the stock rom again. Do not attemp to flash the stock recovery image on its own or your phone will be soft bricked and the dm-verity error will give you nightmares (happened twice to me, took me 6 hours to recover my phone). To get back the stock recovery you need to flash the stock rom again.
* P.S. 2: If your phone has the bootloader locked you will not be able to flash a custom recovery. In that case you can try to downgrade to 6.0 but there are not guarantees that it will work ok.
