Can't flash anything on my p5100 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I had slimkat on my p5100 8 gb and it was on. I gave it to my sister that gave it back to me after a couple of weeks with annoying process has stopped msgs that never go away. So first I tried to wipe everything using twrp 2.8 but that didn't change anything even if wiping was successful but didn't even softbrick the tab. So I tried to flash cm but that didn't work neither giving me an error on twrp .. final thing was to flash the stock that took 2 hours to be flashed and after giving me success on odin and rebooting I keep having slimkat with the same annoying msgs and same settings basically like I didn't flash anything. While I was trying to flash the stock I tried also to add pit file but that didn't change the situation .. any help ??

Can anyone please help, I soft bricked my Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 p6800

Can anyone please help, I soft bricked my Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 p6800. I tried to install, cm10 custom rom, while i soft bricked my p6800 tab 7.7.
Now, i can enter download mode, and i can go recovery mode. When i switch off and switch on it automatically gets into recovery mode.
I could not do factory reset, through odin, i could flash, recover image, kernel, but not the rom, When i try flash any rom, it will try NAND rewrite, and try to factoryfs.mg and will get struck, nothing will happen, or i will get message failed.
I tried formating data folder, no use.
Is there anyway, can you please help me.
thanks a ton, in anticipation.
regards

Sound like you got the SUPERBRICK. Had the same problem myself. This seems to have helped some people.. LOT to READ though. And NO guarantees as usually. Hope it will help you. READ carefully.

i think this may be A solution. here's the strange thing:
i thought i superbricked my tab--for 2 weeks now i've been trying to get it going again. i'd had some success with various roms, but then my cache partition corrupted. after trying to repartition data and system for a week, having to look for ever smaller partitions for both, i finally gave up, flashed the original pit file, and flashed the sammobile ICS ato firmware. i'm still stuck at the boot animation, BUT, MY CACHE SYSTEM AND DATA partitions are all checking clean with e2fsck, and some other contiguity checker i found in the gNote forums.
what they've suggested when all else fails if you're getting clean partitions, then flash back to GB (original firmware for the note) so i'm downloading stock HC firmware now and gonna give it a try... KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

Status 7 Symlinks Fail

I've looked at multiple forums, not just galaxy 3, and I can't find an answer to this problem. I keep getting the "symlinks: some symlinks fail - status 7" error when I try to flash certain roms. First of all, I'm rooted and unlocked. I have flashed CM10 and Synergy before (couple weeks ago,) but now I can't install any of the synergy nightlies or JB roms. I've tried to install from internal and external sd, and failed on both. I've flashed CWM touch and non touch 6.0.1.2 as well as twrp with the same error message. I've flashed the cwm recoveries through Rom Manager and Odin with no change. I loaded the latest Modem through Odin to see if that would fix the problem somehow, and that didn't work either. (Wasn't expecting it too.) Has anyone run into this issue and come out with a fix? I think I've done some pretty in depth research on this, but maybe I've missed something. I don't want to create a brick if someone has a fix. Thanks for the help.
I just bought a S3 last night. I immediately went through all of the steps for root,unlock,and tried to load a custom rom. After about 5 hours worth of research and trial and error I gave up and am probably going to return it for something different. No one has answers for this issue, but it seems a decent amount of people are getting this. I believe it has something to do with the phones memory / storage. Be sure to share anything that might fix this issue.

Big problem with Galaxy S SCL i9003. Phone won't exit from Recovery with ROOT. HELP!!

Hi, I have a big problem with my Galaxy S SCL i9003.
From last week everything was working good, but something happened.
The camera stop working. Hours and hours searching and I find the solution but I need root.
Ok, I make root and surprise, the phone doesn't want to exit from CWM Recovery.
I tried installing ROMs, and the f*cking recovery won't let me do it. I tried with a ROM from a Spanish forum, it was installed all correctly and then another time, the damned recovery.
I tried to install a lot of ROMs, a lot of things from XDA-Developers, now even won't let me to install any ROM.
I do with Odin several times reflashing with original FW and it works by the way... But I need to be root to make my camera work, because I need to replace some system files :crying: :crying: :crying:
Please, what can I do ?!? If I root with Odin everytime my phone won't exit from recovery and the damn recovery even let me install a rom, so I need another time to flash to original FW and well... I can use the phone but I can't use the camera :crying: :crying:
¿What can I do? I tried with 3 different recoveries, all of them are quite old (the newest is from 2012) and I want to know if exists an newer version for my phone. I need to root it, but if I try everytime with Odin and do all good, everytime my phone bricks in Recovery. Whatever I do it's the same... it doesn't exit from recovery mode until I flash to stock FW.
Big thanks in advice. :good:
If you flash stock rom and the camera still dont work i think is hardware problem related. Fresh installation of Stock rom should fix All software related problems.

Hi friend thx for the reply, the thing is that im on stock rom and all goes good, but the problem is I want to root it to solve the camera problem.
I searched on the web and several i9003 and i9001 have this issue when they're updating or when they've been updated... I can solve it changing some files on system but I can't have root access :crying:
I think your problem is related to recovery.
You can flash Bam Kernel via Odin. I'm
using it. Download the latest fix version and
flash it in pda. It has CWM & it will root the
device.

[Q] Error mounting sd card in CWM

Okay so I've been all over this site and linked to many other articles to proceed and hope to fix my issue but nothing seems to be working for me. To get you guys up to speed it's a SGH-T959V and I started out with having jelly bean 4.0 on it then upgraded to 4.2.2 which I occurred an issue with that and had to revert to getting gingerbread flashed back on. It's been a little while since I've done so and kinda forgot how I did it. I've read about using odin and heimdall but no luck getting my phone to connect with either of those programs.
Recently upgraded to 4.4.2 slimkat which was working good (still some bugs, since it's weekly) and had TWRP recovery on it. Problem started as I was starting the process to flash the new update of 4.4.2 and I created a back up and recovery for it prior to flash but now its gone. During the flash of the new update it had occurred some error and now went to Semaphore CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 and has a bunch of errors to it and I cant even format or mount an sd card. I've tried using a couple different sd cards same issues. I can boot into download mode no issues.
Anyone be able to help me out? I am pretty stumped on this one and have tried many things to get it to work. Also are there any programs I could use besides odin and heimdall to flash a different version of CWM or TWRP via usb?
Thanks guys let me know if I left anything out or if you have questions to help me out better.
Hey guys, here are a couple of pictures of what it looks like while in CWM and what its saying.
Hey guys never mind, I already figured out what I was doing wrong. All I needed to do what open a file I downloaded in this thread to get it back to stock gingerbread. Now I am going to do some more flashing to get it back to 4.4.2 slimkat. Thanks

[Q] What do I do if I formatted modem?

Hi all, I'm a newbie so I'm really unfamiliar with this stuff
I have a Galaxy S3 i9305 that used to be rooted and installed with Cyanogenmod 10.1, but recently I decided to start anew and formatted everything in cwm recovery. Then, I flashed samsung stock rom android 4.3 (I9305XXUEML8) and gapps for 4.3, but the rebooting suddenly seems longer and the phone cannot detect a sim card, hence, no network. Moreover, there is no notification whatsoever when I plug the device into the com, except showing the charging notification light. It can also hang randomly after I turn the screen on. The phone is not rooted anymore and has stock recovery. I have a feeling this is because I formatted /modem or /tombstone. The phone is not very old so I believe it isn't a problem with the card slot or anything. Is there any way to solve this problem? Thanks a lot if anyone can help!
Try reflashing stock rom, it might work
And if didn't, try to flash pit file for your device
Hit Thanks if I helped sent from my SM-T211
try to flash your baseband probably could work
It's working!
I fixed it thanks i went to this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...warning-guide-backup-restore-imei-nv-t1946915) and it was pretty useful. thanks to the people who helped anyway
