I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P5110) of which the tablet did not startup anymore, and know nothing about the prehistory.
I downloaded stock firmware from samsung site: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P5110
and downloaded the latest EUR version named : P5110XXDMI1_P5110OXXDMJ1_HOME.tar.md5
With Odin 3.07 I installed that image in download mode with default options left on. After that I got the following screen message on the tablet:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
Probably something went wrong. Then I downloaded Kies from samsung site, installed it with all extra drivers and I got the problem that Kies never recognized the tablet. Reinstalled many times, tried different options, but the problem persisted (took me 8 hours totally). Battery of the tablet was fully loaded and before this problem I saw that it was loading correctly.
Then I read this excellent document : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Tried again with Odin 3.07 and 1.85 and could install the image with only the reboot option on in Odin, flashed successfully the image, but still the problem:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I do not have much options left to look for. I was thinking about:
- driver issue
- wrong image
- wrong method
Can somebody help me to have this problem fixed ? I am willing to reinstall Windows 7 on this laptop.
Really nobody knows ?
never had problems here on Windows 8.
Maybe try flashing using Heimdall
But will I need a Heimdall image for that, because it does not accept the samsung image.

I am located in The Netherlands, and downloaded the specific image for the Netherlands, region PHN, used Odin 3.07 to install it, but still the same problem.
What can I do, wait for somebody who can give me a hint ? This is the first time I do a recovery of a Samsung tablet, and don't know how to continue with it.
Your help will be very much appreciated.
Maybe not the ideal situation, but try installing a custom recovery and a custom rom
If this works, it's no hardware problem.
You can use this guide to install a custom recovery

Do you think that this problem is hardware related ??
Nobody knows ?
Same for me
I'm dealing with almost the same issue, except for my ODIN flashes it doesn't even succeed. I know this happened to it after I tried to use heimdall to update my CWM, but I have had no success getting anything to work. I've been without a tablet for like a week now, doing everything I can think of or find a walk through for. I mean for me, I wouldn't mind going back to stock as long as it works again. Here's what my ODIN is doing:

Forgot to mention that I'm using Odin 3.09 on a p5113. Not that it makes huge difference.
Two things to try:
If you can boot into recovery, try the factory reset.
If not, have you tried Kies recovery mode?
The problem is that I can only boot into the special download mode, if I could get into recovery I think I could figure it out. I have tried the kies recovery, but it won't even read the device.
Maybe because Samsung / KIES Process running in background on your PC?

Try flashing with .pit file, partitioning set to on. Should correct partition problems. Somebody might have installed a non-android OS that botched. Look for a .pit file around the forum, you should find one. Good luck.
Thank you
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot and post back with results!
Sorry for the late reply
Hey guys, I could have sworn that I posted back on Friday, but it's not here. Anyway, it's been a crazy few days for me traveling and school starting and all that.
About the tablet, I downloaded a pit file and it looked like it was going to work, but unfortunately it did not. I'm working on getting the tablet charged and set up to try again because I got a zip that had 2 pit files, so I'll try the other one soon. I'll post the results when I get them, thanks again for all the help!
Still not working, but I think some progress
Sorry to take so long responding, it's been a busy week.
So I just attempted to flash the .pit again, and it failed. Here's what Odin gave:

It says, "There is no PIT," but that's what I'm trying to flash, right? I'm a little confused, but I hope someone knows what that means.
Thanks for all the help guys!
New info!
So today I was messing around with the .pit file that I had, and I used an editor to make it exactly the same as one I found in another forum. After Odin told me that it failed, I went to reset the tablet, and it showed me the Galaxy Tab 2 screen, which it has not done for a few weeks now. Then I plugged it in and it shows the battery charging symbol. Currently it is a 18%, so I'm going to let it charge and then try booting it up again and see what I get. Hopefully all is well now, but we shall see here in a few hours.
I also was not aware that I needed to flash the system along with the pit, and once I had that going it made a little more sense to me.
I'm going to try to post that pit here if anyone wants it. Hopefully it will help someone else in the future.
Odin Flashed, but failed
So I got into normal old download mode on the device using that .pit file. Yay! However upon attempting to flash the stock os back on Odin gave me this:

Hey guys, I just got my S6 (SM-920I) and went to root it the instant I got home. And that was where the problem all started. I used chainfire's auto-root and flashed it in odin under AP. The log in odin shows the firmware flash was successful but upon reboot my phone stays stuck on the boot logo screen. So I went to un-brick it by downloading the appropriate stock firmware for my phone (G920IDVU1AOD1_G920IOLC1AOD1_XSP.zip) (my phone is the Singapore variant of the 920I). This is the error I got on odin no matter how many tries I did.

And now I have no clue on how to fix and restore my phone back to its original state anymore. Help is greatly appreciated thanks!
EDIT: Solved... Just a simple reboot of my PC fixed the problem for me apparently...
I gave the gf's kid an old S2 Skyrocket to use with CM9 I believe on it. Something went wrong and the kid couldn't boot it anymore. I took a look. Flashed it with an old Odin but tried something else, flashed it with a newer Odin and completely screwed it up now. It's been a couple months since I tried fixing it so what I can remember is I think i accidentally wiped Clockwork recovery somehow and then the PIT file. Tried using a newer ODID to flash and just kept getting errors. The only way I can get into download mode now is with that little USB device that boots it into download mode. Otherwise it just stalls at SAMSUNG logo.
So i tried messing with it again today. Using Odin 3.04 I tried flashing to stock firmware and just get this

After messing with hours I'm about to give up and throw it in the trash...but read that if you can get into download mode then it could be fixed and i'm just doing it wrong.
Any ideas?
Odin can be quite finicky. Keep trying and with different usb ports (the ones in the back of the pc if you're using a desktop) and cables. You shouldn't need a pit file. Do not have re-partition checked in Odin.

I've flashed a bunch of phones with Odin before no problem. But with this phone I really screwed with stuff. I'm usually good about being careful but not this time. I might have had repartitioned checked the one time. I can't remember. I think I screwed up the pit on the phone. Hence the no. Pit error. Never had that before.
Ill try the other USB ports thought. Can't use Kies emergency restore because it won't connect to the phone. I have all drivers installed. First time I'm baffled as to flashing a Samsung phone. I don't even need the phone but my OCD just wants it working again.

I've tried a few different roms and pit files nothing seems to help, can't even flash any custome recovery and boot into that - doesn't let me boot into it.

Have you tried flashing a recovery ??
I got the same problem with a friend's note 10.1 flashes through Odin fine no errors but can't get into recovery to factory reset. Just sits there with the note 10.1 splash screen.
Hi, I recently fixed my note edge by installing 4.4 kitkat. A few days later I realized it was really slow and so I plugged it in and tried to flash marshmallow stock. This didn't work and now my phone goes automatically to download mode and every time I try to re-flash it it either insta fails or says aboot fused 2 binary 1. Also, I think i got twrp installed because it passed on odin but if I try to boot recovery it Says "Could not do normal boot and ddi: mmc_read failed". Thanks for the help!

It failed half way through on the phone it says
"ODIN : flash write failure"
1) ODIN 3.09
2) Get N915A 5.0.1 Modem
3) Get N915A 6.0.1 Firmware Stock (the AP file)
4) Get N915A 6.0.1 Modem
1)Place phone in DOWNLOAD MODE (volume down + home + power button)
2) Open ODIN 3.09
3) Place file N915A 5.0.1 Modem in CP
4) Place file N915A 6.0.1 Firmware.tar in AP box
5) Once ODIN is finished flashing the files power off your phone and go back into DOWNLOAD MODE, dont boot.
6) Place file N915A 6.0.1 Modem in CP box
7) Once the file is flashed your phone will be mmc error free and you will have a 100% working phone again.

Hi, I recently fixed my note edge by installing 4.4 kitkat. A few days later I realized it was really slow and so I plugged it in and tried to flash marshmallow stock. This didn't work and now my phone goes automatically to download mode and every time I try to re-flash it it either insta fails or says aboot fused 2 binary 1. Also, I think i got twrp installed because it passed on odin but if I try to boot recovery it Says "Could not do normal boot and ddi: mmc_read failed". Thanks for the help!

Tell me, how could you return to 4.4.4? I also have n915a on marshmallow, but I would like to return to kitkate. Tell me how you did it ??
"A few days later I realized it was really slow" tells us maybe that this is a emmc failure problem

In this forum, this guy has the same problem like you. He tried different attempts. Even though he flashed succesfully and booted up, his phone was very slow and had freezing problem. A while later he got again the "Could not do normal boot and ddi: mmc_read failed" problem.
