[Completed] [Q] I've tried everything and looked everywhere

Hey everyone, I'm using a GT-P5100 (3G + Wifi) O2 UK rooted tablet and for the last month it has been broken. It started rebooting itself randomly every now and then, and then suddenly it wouldn't even boot up for 15 seconds before it would restart itself again.
I am able to get into safe mode and I can get into the boot options, but when I factory reset it does nothing, I've tried from the boot menu, from safe-mode options and even from the dial up code.
I tried to connect my tablet to my PC as a media device and format it but that didn't work either; I can't connect it as a disk then format it that way because they took out 'mass storage mode' on this firmware.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM in Odin but every time I tried it would fail until I used Odin.v1.3, but guess what, it rebooted itself and my entire tablet is still exactly the same.
(the option was on AP ram in v1.3 not AP nand I don't know if that makes a difference.)
If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it so much. I have been trying for weeks to fix this and I just don't know what to do anymore, I tried on another forum but nobody answered me.

Hi,
This would be best posted in your device section so the experts who own your device can help. I will request this be moved to here,

Make sure kies is not running to use Odin. End all kies processes in your task manager on the pc.
Good luck!

Thank you very much I have posted it there instead ^^

Thank you. Thread closed.

[Completed] Soft bricked Galaxy S2 - please help

Hey guys
I have been trying to resuscitate my friend´s Galaxy S2 for weeks and can´t figure it out. The point is we don´t want to wipe the phone as we want to save the data (contacts and pics that the friend did not save elsewehere).
What happened:
My friend opened Shazam, the phone powered off and has been stuck on the flashing Samsung logo screen.
I can access the recovery mode and download mode.
What I have tried so far:
Dowloaded appropriate JB ROM from Sam Mobile, tried flashing with Odin - the phone got hanging on "Upgrading Android OS, starting applications" screen.
Rebooted, hanging at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Then I tried loading CWM from SD card, but this probably overwrote the original ROM as I could not access the recovery mode afterwards.
Tried flashing again to Jelly Bean.
Still stuck at the flashing Samsung logo screen.
Basically, is there any way how to recover the data only, without making the phone fully functional (or wiping the phone first)?
Any advice is welcome, thank you!

[Completed] Help with rooting gone wrong on Samsung GT-N5120

Hi!
My neighbors (11-year old) son apparently tried to root their Samsung GT-N5120 with something called King Root(??). I don't know more than that and they asked me to fix it cause (you know computers) -.-.
The problem is that it's stuck in boot loop. It boots up and it shows the screen and all but it doesn't happen anything and then it reboots. Now what i've tried is to start it in recovery mode (Volume Up + menu button + power button) and i've tried to do a factory reset but it didn't work. From what i've read i think he has overwritten those files that the factory reset needs. So what can I do? It doesn't seem to be bricked since it starts and i can start it in both recovery mode and download mode. My computer reacts when I plug it in and tries to install drivers and so forth (but it won't show up on My Computer). So something probably can be done I just don't know what to do. Any ideas?

[Completed] Stuck in a bootloop after unroot, Coolpad E560 (Porto/Sky mini)

Hello! I am new to this forum and I don't know where I can get help. I rooted my Coolpad E560, a.k.a. Coolpad or Sky Mini and everything was fine until I decided to unroot it. It immediately restarted and will not boot ever since (stuck at logo). I opened recovery mode and selected wipe data/factory reset but it didn't solve the problem, neither did wipe cache. Then I selected reboot to bootloader. "Download and Install the package? Press volume up to agree or volume down to cancel". I press volume up and then it's stuck on "Information Do not disconnect the data cable". In the end I tried to flash stock rom. The only firmware I found was (phone name).CPB and it seems like the only flashing tool that can use .CPB is YGDP. But the flashing process doesn't even begin, it gets stuck on Entering download mode... I unsuccessfully tried to enter download mode on my phone. It doesn't have removable battery, some key combinations I tried didn't work. Now I don't know what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

[Completed] LG Stylo 2 Plus Bootloop

Model: LGMS5500, Lg Stylo 2 Plus (MetroPCS)
Here's my issue.
I recently rooted/installed TWRP for this phone, all was working well until one day the system started running extremely slow>
Pulling down the notification bar took about five seconds; it took about the same amount of time to turn the screen on/off.
I searched everywhere for fixes and tried every one to no avail, so I figured I'd do a factory reset.
After trying the factory reset from the settings app; all the phone did was reboot.
So I went into TWRP and reset/cleared data from there.
Now when the phone starts, it brings me to a screen saying "Encryption unsuccessful" and only gives me the option to reset my phone.
When I press this button, it just reboots to the same screen>
I can't get into TWRP because before all of this happened, I disabled USB debugging so I can't use my PC to get into recovery. There's also no way to boot to recovery with just the hardware buttons; the only way to get to TWRP with this phone is either from apps on the phone itself or using ADB.
Am I S.O.L here? Am I going to need to buy a new phone?
