Hello everyone. My Samsung tab 3 (sm-t210, UK version) wont boot. It will get stuck at the second boot logo. The one with the glowing Samsung boot animation. What did I do? Well I tried to install a cwm recovery. After rebooting, I got worried when the tab would boot after 5 mins of the lowing logo. Right now, it has the stock Samsung recovery, before that, I had TWRP installed what handled my root. When you look at the bottom when you open a few things, there is text saying "Unable to mount /efs" Or something similar to that and I think that is the source of the problem.
I have tried to install the stock ROM, recovery, kernel and bootloader and still gets stuck at the boot logo. I felt like this is not going anywhere (NOTE: I'm using Odin 3.07 to flash)
Please can someone help me, I've heard this is the bestest forums for android devices, and looking like when I registered, I bet no one here likes Iphones . I don't either.
If I need to download, please dont make it a download from rapidgator. **** speed downloads guarenteed. Also from sammobile.com. 50kbps downloads, my internet fails it is so slow. 40mbps :/.
Please ask for more infomation if you need it to try and fix this error/issue . I'll update this when I get this fixed.
Hi,
Have you tried other Odin versions? That can sometimes help. Otherwise, here is a dedicated help thread for your device,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606327
Other than that, I can't find anything specific to your model. And the download sites you mention are usually the ones used, so you may need to wait out the slow downloads.
Good luck!

Hey,
I've tried searching similar threads for this issue but haven't found a solution that works quite yet.
I have Samsung S Vibrant GT-I9000M on which I tried to originally flash CyanogenMod. At first I tried using Clockworkmod and discovered I couldn't actually get into it because of the Samsung 3e recovery utils. So I tried flashing to a different firmware (I've tried a lot now) to get to 2e but I am unable to get past the loading screen, which is flashing the samsung galaxy s logo. I've followed a lot of guides to try to get back to stock firmware but I haven't had any success at all.
I can't get into recovery mode anymore but I can get into download mode, and I've been trying to get back to stock firmware but whatever I try it just reboots and starts flashing a loading icon (if the usb is still plugged in, without it just flashes the samsung s galaxy screen). I've also noticed that the model number changed from GT-I9000M to GT-I9000.
I'm new to all of this, so if anyone can lend a helping hand I'd really appreciate it. So to summarize, I can get back into download mode but I cant' get into recovery. I've tried at least 5 or 6 times to reflash stock firmware (following the guides in this forum, I can link if needed) but its the same result each time. A cycling loading screen.
this guy is having the same problem.. see my posts in his thread.. do all the things i have told him to do..

Ok so I have tried on another thread that kind of went dry mainly cause I was MIA....but now I am back and have done some more reading up and think it is safe to say rooting and trying customer ROM's is not for me...lol I pretty much messed up a new Galaxy Tab 2 7' brand new only after a few weeks trying to root it. I had another thread link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834368&page=2
But I did not get anything to work right. At this point I am really just looking to get the tablet working. I don't really care what firmware rooted or unrooted...i just want to be able to use it....do some more research and and maybe join the rooting community again when I get a Galaxy S3.
I'd appreciate any help. I am pretty stuck right now!
Go into Download mode "power" plus "down volume", then up volume. Use ODIN to load this:

You will need driver from Samsung Keis install for P3113

FYI - I needed to load CMOC10-Kernel to get my tab to stop boot looping when I flashed JB AOKP

Continous boot loop on tab 2 p3113
My problems are kind of different from all the others I have read. Yes it is similar that it boot loops. But mine freezes at different areas in boot mode. This is driving me crazy and I am spending way too much time and effort trying to fix it. Hopefully you can help.
I don't really know for sure if the android os was 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 or some other rom but it did state in download mode that it was original and not custom rom.
I received this tab from ebay and it is new never used, but somehow whoever had it probably tried to flash it and now I received it with a continuous loop. They stated that it stuck in SAMSUNG logo. I found it true but it also stuck other places as well. I did do a reset first before I attempted to flash it.
I did the Odin flashing.I found the 4.2.2 xar file HOME_XAR_P3113UEUCMK3_1978026_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and did according to instructions. But that didn't work. It did boot into android but it didn't stay there very long and rebooted itself. I couldn't stay more than 20-30 seconds and it would reboot itself or freeze at various places in android. I also hard reset it. Still same thing. It would also freeze on the first samsung logo tab 2 screen and also at the blue circle with samsung logo. It was different every time. I would have to hold down the on button until it rebooted. It also stalls or freezes during Android upgrading... Optimizing app at various number stages sometimes it goes thru that and then to the next phase of installing apps then it freezes again. I cannot get it to work if I try to upgrade via wireless upgrade to samsung. it will freeze even before it downloads the upgrade file.
I then flashed back to the original xar file P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC which is 4.1.1 That worked a little better, but it freezes and also the sound chatters when it freezes on bootup you know, when the samsung sound comes on then the blue circle.
Finally I tried to recover or flash from the recovery mode using the upgrade from a sdcard. using the original 4.1.1 xar file. It hewlped a little but still doing the continuous boot loop at different stages but it gets to the Android is upgrading... more often. It freezes always now.
So I don't know what else to do. You mentioned a CMOC10-Kernel to load, how does one go about doing that and what are the steps.
Thanks in return if you can suggest things.

Hey everyone. This is my first time posting here. I know it's a pain in the rear.. don't dwell
I have a Samsung Galaxy Proclaim (SCH-s720c) and I've been trying to port ANY rom to this device. I'm very new to porting, but I pick up on things quickly.
I've tried several different roms and every one results in the same thing: I power on the device.. it gets to the Samsung logo, then reboots.
No boot animation, nothing. It's failing before Android actually gets started, so, logcat is out of the question. I tried running logcat in Recovery but it only shows 3 messages, and nothing helpful.
I've got a backup of my stock rom, and I can restore it fine. As soon as I restore, it boots back up, so there's nothing wrong there.. It's just the port.
I'm using AreaRom as the stock because I haven't found a stock flashable zip for this device yet. For the port rom, I've used two versions of Slimbean, and two versions of CM7.
If anyone has any idea how I can even get information about what's failing, that would be great. Any help at all is appreciated. Thanks in advance :fingers-crossed:
(Edit: After changing the base rom.. I've at least gotten to the Android boot screen.. It's still stuck in a boot loop for now, but at least it's trying to boot)
Okay I have the sm-G920P, and I used cf autoroot to root, I then installed twrp and the renegade rom. I also installed the unikernel kernel
The phone will start, display splash, Go to the "android is starting" screen, sometimes lets me choose wifi network, sometimes reboots at this point, the farthest I ever get is where it says we are preparing your services, this may take 3-4 mins. But I can never get through it all the way because the device keeps rebooting itself.
I tried flashing back the stock files from sammobile to no avail, I also went to the best buy store and had the samsung guys flash it 2x .... no luck... What can I do to fix this issue?
I knew I shouldnt have attempted to root this phone...UGH!
Does anyone know where I can find a PIT file for this model?
I would suggest you head over to the sprint forums
Lot's of useful guides like Root/TWRP / Sim-Unlocking
Hope this helps!

Hey. Not sure if I'm asking for help in the right place. I'm new and I made this account because I'm getting kind of desperate, so I'm sorry in advance if I'm posting in the wrong place.
I just installed TWRP onto my Samsung Galaxy J5 2017. I thought it all went pretty well until I tried to reboot it after checking out the custom recovery only for it to be stuck in a boot loop. The regular J5 logo comes up, then the screen goes black, then the logo comes back up and so on. I am still able to go into recovery and download modes and I've tried using the TWRP recovery to wipe and format all data, but to no avail.
Upon some researching, it seems that flashing the official firmware using Odin is one possible fix, and I am currently downloading it from Updato, though it is a slow download and it will take all night. Even so, once it's ready, I'm not entirely sure how to flash it or whether I need any extra files to make it work, since I haven't been able to find any guides for this phone specifically.
If anyone could confirm that I'm going down the right route and guide me through it, or suggest some other, more effective, fix, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Mayo
Well, I flashed Magisk and that seems to have fixed it
