Hard Reset doesn't work/deleted apps are restored after reboot

Hello everyone,
I just joined this forum and i need some help.
I've got a very wierd problem with my samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0
Tablet: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 GT-P3110 model.
Android: ver. 4.1.2
So the story behind my tablet is that my dad bought it when he working in another country,when he came back he told me that he had a broken galaxy tab 2 and he asked me to try to fix it,the problem he reported was that the tablet sometimes restarts,alot of programs have crashes and the wierdest thing is that,when I turn it off and then turn on the device (or simply restart it) the system is restored to some earlier state, this includes:
1. Apps I've deleted are still installed.
2. Widgets or app shortcuts on 'home' pages are still on their old place though I've rearranged them.
3. Same with wallpapers.
4. Same with settings.
So i tried the following:
1. Factory reset + cache clean. Even though it is supposed to be a full system wipe, it doesn't work.
2. Reinstalling a Stock ROM via ODIN. Doesn't work either and it takes about an hour to do...it says it was successful but it doesn't change anything in the tablet.
Also there is a notice in android recovery, which states:
did not match sized '/system/csc/common/system/csc/feature.xml' (no data available)
This device wasn't rooted.
So i you would ask you guys for some help,thanks.

My line of thought is that if you do root it, you can format the system partition which would more than likely fix this issue. But like I said, more than likely, there's no guarantee because it might be a hardware issue. Have you considered sending it in for repair? Since it's not rooted they would do it. If you don't care to send it in and are just trying stuff to see if you can get it working again, then rooting it wouldn't hurt anything. But that's your choice.

OK, so here's where just rooting won't help. You have two options: 1) Find the stock ROM at Samsung and have it on your SD card. Or 2) choose another ROM. Whichever you choose is up to you. You're going to have to format your system in the custom recovery, by doing this your tab is wiped of all info including the stock ROM. If you format system you won't be able to boot into your tab without flashing another ROM after. If I'm repeating stuff you know, I apologize. You'll need the ROM you choose on your external sd card, because you'll want to completely format everything (except your ext sd). If you know all this, try it out and see if it helps. If you want to learn more and the steps, PM me, I'll help as much as I can!

Hi, i'm facing the same issue here. Then I've try to root the phone but failed. Can help me too Sir?

For now it can't repaired, It,s known as emmc brickbug, find the xda forum thru Playstore emmc brickbug check. In Indonesia there is website that claim can repair it by replacing the emmc chip/internal memory, but it's not proven yet, since no body in our Galaxy Tab 2 facebook group has confirmed it. More than 15 people in the group has reported this bug, and the only way to fix it is by replacing the mainboard in Samsung Service Center. I also have replaced my wife Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 mainboard with the same case. In Indonesia the cost is about US$100

[Q] HELP! Non-stop g.apps has stopped message!

Hey guys,
I'm in dire need of help. I have a Galaxy S6 (G920F) and I rooted it today with PingPongRoot. Afterwards, I started getting the message that .com.(something here).gapps has crashed. I kept getting it every few seconds, rendering my phone pretty much useless, as I couldn't do anything.
It took me around 10 minutes to get to the factory reset option. Afterwards, it rebooted and got to the setup, and OMG! the message keeps popping up non stop right now! I don't even have enough time to select anything..
So please, I am in dire need of help. If you need any more info, please tell me what info you need! :'(

Then u installed modem not compatible with bootloader mate & probably ur firmware not installed the modem correctly because of we want to install modem on older bootloader ur issues what will happened & infinite bootloop mate try with firmware & its better if u find fw with 4 or 5 files try to search on xda & also on google ok ..

Noble rom nougat running on g920v !

Dont use noble nougat ! Use ultimate nougat under the unified development . There are 3 different versions either one is okay. Everything works on ultimate nougat but noble lags a good bit.
Each one has a description on what it does and has. All are bebloated + custom tweaks. Check them out. Any touchwiz rom should work. As long as ported to sg g920f.
You have to be on nougat stock firmware. At least thats all ive tried. You can try on 5.1 as long as you follow my guide. Go to this site - https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-nougat-s6-verizon-t3710864 and download the files he has on his post. Thats how you root on nougat.
If you are on nougat, switch to bootloader mode, open odin, and click on ap and select the eng root. Then reboot and go to settings/security and tick unknown sources. Then extract the unroot file you downloaded and run the file that says root.bat and give your phone a few minutes. It will restart and supersu will be installed. If it doesnt work the first time try again
Now you need to download flashfire. And download the custom touchwiz rom you want. Again you can find them under unified developement. And gapps if you want. I use aroma installer to pick what apps i want to be system apps.
Once you are rooted have supersu and flashire, youll need to set you year on the date back to 2013 or flashfire wont open correctly. It does that on my phone atleast you can try it out. When u have flashire open click on the + at the bottom right and click flash zip or ota. Click on the ron youve downloaded and then select the box next to mount system read and write . Then press the + button again and add a wipe action. Just leave it on what it automatically tics. Make sure you hold down on the wipe action before hitting the flash button at the bottom and put it above the rom installation. So youre phone restores first. Do not tick internal storage on the wipe action you will brick your phone bc no sd card.
Flashfire should take you through an aroma installer for the rom depending on the one youve downloaded. Make sure to pick g920f kernel.
Go through chek what you want and then install. As long as you hit the mount system read and write button on the wipe action back in flashfire it will install and not get stuck on %20 or %25. Once its done let it reboot your phone will come to a crash screen. A blue one with a warning sign saying software failure or something. You need to hold the power button volume down and homd button until it cuts off. The do the same thing to turn it on in download mode and flash the eng root file in ap again from odin and your phone will boot. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to boot.
I installed xposed and all kinds of other tweaks to this rom as well. Let me know how it works out for you . Im going to upload photos in the replies.
Able to flash and open twrp but no function.

Just Google a touchwiz rom ported to galaxy s6 and follow my instructions. I've tried 2 others. Everything seems to be working other than if you are not rooted there is intense lagging from time to time.

I have some questions, is this on 5.1.1 rooted with mrmikes root? Is the rom pre-rooted? Is it debloated? And does it have s health?

this needs a more in-depth description, when i tried it, i flashed it on 5.1.1, i got to the setup of the rom, i chose the international s6, i didnt know which one to choose, then the CSC variant, i chose one of them which had a description like "multi us, it started installing, it got to 25%, then the screen just went black, i opened rootatboot, it succesfully worked, but my phone screen is still black, what are we supposed to do?

Sorry i updated my op check it out ^^
And if you have black screen then boot to odin mode and flash nougat. I know for sure it works on there. And if you follow my steps i suggest using ultimate nougat note fe rom. Its bloatware free and smooth as butter. Has aod edge screen and alot more tweaks.

For me the note fe rom downloads at 700kb/s why? roms usually download at like 7-8 mb/s

Not able to do it, When i flash stock nougat with odin, it gets stuck on the galaxy s6 logo after reboot. Then i factory reset and wiped cache partition, and its still stuck there. So i had no choice but to downgrade to 5.1 again. Now i flashed the pre rooted official nougat rom with flashfire, and once i was on nougat i was gonna flash the custom rom. But, when you try to flash something in flashfire on the pre rooted nougat rom it gives me an error saying an unknown error has occured. Now im back at rooted 5.1. Help anyone?

I'd reccommend video and flashfire, you can make a video of how to do it and make it easier by flashing it in flashfire, so a tutorial on how to flash it on flashfire correctly.

Followed the procedure but flashfire just remains blank on boot... why?

yes... followed everything to the letter. Was having issues with the flashfire but i downloaded the pro apk and it acquired root permission without crashing... I used flashfire .57 pro to flash the pre rooted rom but the flashfire in the pre rooted rom also crashed after aquiring root so I uninstalled it and downloaded the .73 pro apk and that worked but it doesn't flash the rom no matter what options I choose. Tried so many combinations... I put the wipe before the flash and i also tried vice versa, tried with flash procedure set to normal, recovery, download and all still came out with the same outcome = Blank flashfire with 2015-2017 screen. So i just restart the device and everything is normal. Using the pre rooted rom for now

Okay do everythig you did again but before opening flashfire you need to turn off wifi. Go to settings and date and time. Turn off automatic date and time and set year to 2013 then re open and use flashfire. That was my original problem.

I've tried everything to get mobile data and service to work that is the only bug but makes this thread a complete bust until I can find a work around or fix for it.

I use my s6 as a backup phone but something is wrong with my s7 so i use my s6 more, and i dont use a verizon sim so i use my s6 with no sim. So, if you can, can you make still make a video for it? other people who flash it might find a way to get service to work.

Note 10.1 unresponsive to touch but S-pen works fine

So 3 days ago I got bored of Android 4.4.2 on my 6 years old tablet. It worked fine for browsing the internet and watching youtube but I wanted more. I thought that was installing a new android an easy business but I was wrong. I downloaded TWRP and lineage os android 7.1. for my N8000.Then I flashed my recovery and later I download a sketchy rooting app from an internet called "iRoot". Then "iRoot" downloaded and installed an app with some Chinese characters. I wanted to delete that but there was no icon in "manage apps" tab
then I disabled it in other tabs and rebooted my device. when my device rebooted my touchscreen wouldn't work. I pulled my S-pen out and it worked perfectly fine (the device was never dropped). So I tried factory resetting my device and the problem was still there. I installed SuperSu app I thought that it would help me but when I open it it said ''binary occupied''. I was hopeless. Then I installed lineageOS and the problem was still there. I tried going back to my old android 4.4.2 but my sd card was corrupted. I installed Odin and flashed factory OS for my device. now I have the same problem. btw this was my first time doing this stuff so I made a lot of mistakes. I saw people fixing this problem simply by calling *#2663# but when I do that my screen flashes back and then it forwards me to my home screen. The problem was still there. Do you guys know the solution?

Its the rooting app that is your problem .
TWRP install via Odin wipe data system cache etc reboot to download mode .

I wiped everything. I just installed Factory android 4.4.2 with Odin. Then I installed TWRP 2.8.4.0 via Odin and wiped everything. but my touchscreen still doesn't work even in TWRP. I was installing Lineage 14.0 from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3848514 and I ran out of time. I will update you guys tomorrow. :fingers-crossed:

So *#2663# doesn't let you reflash the tsp firmware?
If not, your tsp ic need to get replaced.

What do you mean by that? Do I need to replace my digitizer, motherboard, or something else? I'm quite new in this type of stuff so I don't understand most of the things
Also, I tried installing multiple versions of official os and other versions of Lineage and Slimroms and my touch still doesn't work. I also tried reflashing firmware on all those versions but it still work.

This menu which appears, when you dial *#2663#, it let you update the touch screen panel firmware,
it flashes it directly to the chip.
If this fails or simply doenst work, you have to replace this chip (TSP IC) or your mainboard.

Thanks for your quick response. Basically, because this tablet is over 6 years old, and I am unable to find the correct motherboard in my country. I found tablets (used) like mine for something near 40 euros. I wanted to buy a whole motherboard and replace it, but it was like 30-40 dollars and shipping is an additional 50 - 60 euros. So I think that I should wait for a cheap broken one and then try to make Frankenstein from those two. Anyway thanks for your help!
