I think I bricked my son's tablet!

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.

No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?

Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.

One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...

I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.

Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.

[Q] Galaxy Note 10.1 upgrade encountered an issue problem

Hello all, im new on the forum. I have an Samsung Galaxy note 10.1. Today when i tried to update my firmware from 4.0.4 to 4.1.X the update stopped at 31% and after seeing for some time that it doesnt go i unpluged the cable. After that for some time it was stuck in upgrade mode- doing nothing. In 5-10 mins i got that Firmware upgrade encountered an issue error. It says please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
Ok so i'm into kies and im trying for 2-3 times to recover my device, and every time it is stuck on 31%.
My device won't boot now / do anything.
I wonder if i need to root / flash something but i dont want to use my warranty. Since im new to rooting /flashing i could use some times and some hands on.
I have the N8000 - 3G version.
Thanks a lot in Advance !

Use Odin not kies. ..

Hello everyone! I Own a Samsung galaxy tab 2 - gt-p3100. I rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 11. Actually my tab was on Jellybean. Now, I can boot through recovery only. Cannot enter download mode.

I have all the drivers installed, OFFICAL firmware, odin and required tools on my laptop and pc. please help me to recover my tab back. Even if i lose data, it doesn't matter. Please tell me a way to unbrick. i dont know if its a bootloop or a hard brick or a softbrick.

I have note 2 verizon version sch-i605 which is soft bricked, i can go in download mode and recovery mode, but phone will not reboot at all i don know if i wrongly flashed it with rom for note 7100 internetional version i think. Also i tried to recover it with going in recovery mode first but i did delete all data when it asked me for so maybe i deleted bootloader i am not too skilled with this or how to fix it , i did try doing everything by googling and exploring this forum and downloading all kinds of roms and try to flash it with odin i tried all 3 of them only once i see on the phone like its installing something with RSF rom but very fast and it will just stay there for ever and not boot. If anyone has any idea or roms to help me please do it , also i wanna say my phone is not rooted and if i do recover it i would like to root it later but for now its like dead phone ?? Thanks guys i hope someone will answer with something.

Download stock firmware from SamMobile.com. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer and use ODIN to flash the firmware as "AP".

Anyone else has any idea ? When i flash it with cwm or what is it called it says it was reset in Odin but phone is still stuck in Samsung note II logo.
