[Q] What type of brick is my Galaxy note 10.1 gt n8010 stuck?

Two days ago my Galaxy Note 10.1 gt-n8010 got stuck at the initial screen (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1)
It was working normally, and it was last successfully upgraded to a custom rom and CWM 6.0.3.6 a month ago.
The custom rom was (to my best knowledge Android Revolution HD 11.2 - 4.1.2)
Booting into recovery and download modes works.
CWM recovery works partially. Erasing Cache en resetting to factory works, and sometimes results in getting to the second splash screen of the boot process where it again gets stuck (Samsung animation keeps glowing), but more it keeps getting stuck at he first boot screen.
Erasing Dalvic cache leads to immediate reboot.
CWM log files cant be opened / external sd card can't be reached/mounted.
So CWM is only working for a small part.
I've attached images of the CWM screens including a log-screen that shows that files and folders cannot be found.
Using ODIN, to flash a new CWM or custom/original ROM result in a FAIL message.
Tried different ODIN version, two original Samsung data cables and two computers. Alle the same result. FAIL.
I'm hesitant to continue now without some help. I might do more harm and destroy all chances there are to recover this tablet.
I've flashed all my phones and tablets before. I'm not an expert, but never had a mishap, because I triple read the instructions. The situation that arises now is not a result of a failed upgrade/flash, but suddenly appeared one morning.

On the last days i thought i had also broken my tablet and i had more or less the same problem. If i were you i would directly download an official 4.4.2 and flash it via odin. Then if you everything works i would try whatever you want to flash

Try changing recovery. Give TWRP a try. Had it happen with a phone and switching recoveries solved it.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app

Well I had the same problem due to toooo many consecutive reboots
I was on gnabo then wid twrp
then I reflashed 4.4.2 update via odin and everything was a breeze after that
and one more thing
be sure to change the recovery cause the same one might not work again
well at least it didn't do worth me
I use philz now

Can't flash anything
Tried everything I could find but nothing works. I'm using windows 7 and cannot flash anything using Odin.
Download mode and CWM recovery still boot.
Are there other ways to communicate and reprogram the galaxy note 10.1?

are you sure you do not have a bad cable

I've used two different original Samsung cables. Same result.

Brick?
Change a Odin version like odin 3.07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837605?
your odin shows your device is Samsung I9505 Galaxy S4

Where does Odin show the device is a i9505? It's a n8010.

reCAPTCHA
I am having similar issues (Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 Gnabo ROM) - stuck on the samsung logo (never managed to get past it though) boots into recovery but can't mount sd card OR internal storage. Can't flash anything using Odin, always gets a Complete(Write) operation failed. Any suggestions ?

Looks like we're both in the same sinking boat.

I join u guys as well....
also was on gnabo rom and suddenly stuck on Samsung screen... however what's different from you is that I have a N8000 and Odin flashing shows "PASS". But whatever I flash doesn't boot... I think I need to open a thread about it.

Nothing yet.... I've tried one old backup of v5 I've had and that won't boot now as well...
Really strange. I'm hoping to get it working somehow over the weekend latest, since I'll be on business trip next week and would like to have operating device on airplanes.

maybe it's a problem from Gnabo ROM itself??? What's really sad is nobody on the threads knows how to help us
Uni starts next week!

I've seen few other occurrences of this on different roms on various forums, so probably not Gnabo issue. also, nobody nowhere had a fix for it

I had similar problem last November with a stock 4.4.2 ROM. Fortunately it was still in warranty (2 years in the UK) and Samsung took it in and replaced both battery and main board. They did not explain what was wrong, only that they were seeing quite a few with this issue. Could it be flash failure?

I don't think it was flash failure, at least not in my case, since device worked without any issue for quite a while after last flashing... what was different now is that my battery was drained out for the first time i quite a while...

Had this problem myself. When I reflashed ROM with ODIN it disappeared. And since it's 4.4.2 android - download 4.4.2 ROM, because 4.2.2 doesn't work anymore.

Can't load firmware on Odin phone bricked

I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?

Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!

S6 SM-G920f stuck on samsung logo after trying to install xposed framework

hey all
I did a basic root on my samsung galaxy s6 a few days ago. just installed superSu and gave me root access. after that I installed TWRP which I then used to try and install the xposed framework. From then on my phone is stuck on the samsung screen saying kernel is not seandroid enforcing. I downloaded the stock rom for my phone (sm-g920F on 6.01) and attempted to flash it via odin 3.07 but it always failed after the sboot.
i have searched to try and find a solution but nothing I can find will work. can anyone help?

so i got my s6 working after flashing a full stock firmware i found via a link on this forum (i forget which one...sorry)
it gave me BL_G920FXXU3DPBG_CL7086820_QB8626574_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP_G920FXXU3DPBG_CL7086820_QB8626574_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP_G920FXXU3DPB6_CL7086820_QB8569466_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_BTU_G920FBTU3DPB1_CL7140831_QB8460122_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
it also recommended that I flash the pit file ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit.
this was all done via the latest version of odin. initially, the flashing failed at cm.bin so I reflashed omitting the bootloader and all seemed to be well.
My phone set up fine and then I realised that it will not recognise my sim...or any sim for that matter. in settings under sim card status...every entry is listed as unavailable. IMEI is unknown as is baseband version.
i realise that I have obviously messed up big time with the initial flashing (uhuh....backup...backup....backup) but I would really like some help to get my phone back up and running as a ...well...phone.
any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
thanks in advance x

Try smart switch. Not sure if it could restore the imei but it could bring the phone back to original csc when you bought it.

Boot loop. Is it bricked?

Hi.
I have an SGS7 G930F
I updated from Superman-Rom 1.15.0 to Superman-Rom v1.15.5 six days ago.
Phone worked great.
Two days ago the phone lost signal to the phone network. This was in an area with bad signal, so it's normal to loose signal.
After a short time, I desided to reboot the phone to see if I got signal faster.
But the phone went in boot loop.
I was abel to get in both "download mode" and "recovery mode". Since I had both Superman-Rom v1.15.0 and v1.15.5 (on sd-card) I tried to reflash the rom. Tried both of them. But installation got stuck at 25%.
After that I downloaded stock Samsung rom, and installed with Odin. But still boot-loop.
So what to do?
I guess it's no point of RMA because of "custom binary count"?

How long did you wait for it to boot after flashing stock with ODIN?
It can take quite a long time for first boot
With ODIN, flash BL, CP, AP and CSC (Not HOME_CSC)
CSC Should reset the phone after the flash too

After you replied I tried to flash again.
Flashing took 3 mins.
After that the phone went straight to boot loop. I have now waited 15 minutes, and still no boot. The screen have turned black, and blue led indicator is on

Sounds like something else is wrong if it still loops after flashing CSC, that contains the PIT file, which repartitions the phone, and also resets it
Got a MicroSD card in? Try removing that in case it's faulty, otherwise hopefully someone else has some ideas
Could try flashing the Nougat Beta as a test

I have removed SD-card. (Have it in my backup phone now.)
Could it be hardware issue?
I'm considering to contact my insurance company, for a new phone

Could be, but sounds more like a firmware issue
Tried Smart Switch firmware recovery?

Any suggestions?
Do I need to make up a "home-accident" story for my insurance company (contents insurance?)?

I had a similar issue with my Samsung s7.
Randomly crashed, went into reboot loops, got very hot.
I tried flashing via Odin and Smart Switch but at the end it was a hardware fault which Samsung repaired at their repair center.

Problem is that I have "custom binary count"

Mabey you should try flashing an older firmware like PE1 and then updating later!
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s7-firmware
using Odin but first try only flashing the AP, CP, and CSC don't do the BL. If that fails then try doing a flash with the BL included. Hopefully this works!
If worst comes to worst, if your knox isn't tripped, then send in or warranty.
Did you put a custom recovery on it?

Insurrance company have given me money to buy a new S7.
But now I am considering to use one of my old phones (Sony Z3C, Galaxy S4 or Galaxy S5) until the release of Galasy S8

Did you manage too solve this issue ? I am facing the same problem.
Cheers

Hi,
Samsung repaired the phone for me so the issue was solved.

Do you remember what the issue was about and how much it costed you ?
Thanks.

Since the phone was in warranty and I never rooted it, it was repaired for free. They arranged to come collect it from my house and I had it back within 3 days. They replaced the motherboard in my case.
