Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SPH-P500 rom - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a newbie and I need some direction. Can someone please point me in the right direction to find a rom that will work on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 SPH-P500 Sprint tablet? It has OS 4.1.2 on it now. I have Odin downloaded on my pc but can't seem to find a rom with a .tar extension which Odin needs to work. I tried a rom that didn't have a .tar ext. by putting it on the root of my tablet, but when I went into recovery mode, I couldn't find it. I put it on my external SD card and found it but got an error that said "Signature couldn't be verified". The reason I need to flash a new rom is because every time I connect to wifi, I get a lot of programs that download and install automatically. When I turn wifi off, it turns on automatically. Please help!!
Thanks

[HELP] Tab 7.7 Stuck on Phone Exclamation PC Sign!

I need some help trying to bring back to life my P6810.
I think I did something wrong because when im in download mode it says product name: GT-P7560 and when i connect it to ODIN it failed to upload the firmware to the device, and since then it just shows me the Phone-Exclamation-PC sign, The device doesnt goto recovery and none of the buttons work.
Do you think Ive got a weird device with a faulty download mode? What do you suggest I do.?
It sounds like you have the wrong ROM .
yes, wrong rom is too dangerous, I really hope that you didn't brick your precious tab,
well try to restock with the original P6810, you can find it on samobile.com, under firmwares and files, then choose you tab and get the needed files.
flashing instructions should be also there (zip file)
best regards

I think I bricked my son's tablet!

Crap!!! I hope someone can help me. I was trying to upgrade my son's tablet using odin and a stock 4.04 rom from here :Samsung P5100 / P5110 / P5113 Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Complete Stock Firmware. The first one for the P5113.
Anyway, everything seemed to be going okay following the directions and then a failed came up in the first box in odin was red. I repeated it and it appeared to be stuck. The tablet was in download mode and the blue line had only progressed about a quarter inch. I heard the usb disconnect and reconnect sound and I tried to initiate it through odin again but the tablet wasn't responding. I stupidly on plugged the tablet and tried to power it down. Now I can't do anything. Can't get into recovery or download mode. The tablet is stuck on the screen and has this message with a picture of a tablet then a yellow triangle and a computer. Here is the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. Kies won't recognize the tablet and when I click on emergency firmare recovery it just asks for PC code. I am stumped. I am not familiar with Samsung at all. Also, the message on the screen won't disappear. If I hold down power it won't turn off, the screen will go black and then the message will come right back so I'm afraid the battery will be dead soon and then I will be totally out of luck.
The tablet is a wifi only P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

Not your device but its should be similar. Hope it works for you.
No luck so far, is there no way to get past this screen?
Not that I know of to be honest, You need to get into download/recovery .... Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come up with something !
How old is the tab ?
EDIT :
Will ODIN connect ... When you get that firmware error screen ?

No nothing, windows does recognize it and will install the driver. But Odin doesn't show anything happening and Kies just shows connecting. When you select emergency recovery in Kies it will stop trying to connect and bring up a dialog box asking for a recovery code. Apparently if the failure would have happened during a legit upgrade using Kies it would have generated an error code for recovery. Is there no way to repair this? Thought Samsung devices were suppose to be so easy to customize? Please help my son is pretty pissed.

Update!!!
I was able to get odin to connect to tablet and I got cwm recovery installed so it no longer boots to the failed firmware screen and I can get into recovery. My question is which firmware do I install?? The tablet is a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 wifi only. Is the P5113UEBLH3 firmware the correct one? It says it was provided by Cellular South which confuses me since the tablet is wifi only.
Update 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Success!!! Got into download mode and was able to load the stock 4.04 firmware and life is good again. Thanks to all that helped.
One thing. Always update your table with OTA or Kies. ODIN breaks the warrantie

I bricked my device from Odin while trying to revert from a CM10.1 nightly to stock JB. Device picked up in Odin, but would not flash... unless I reboot the device after I clicked start in Odin. Dunno why, but it loaded stock firmware on the error screen... don' ask me how...
I have experienced this. Run ODIN, then connect your devices to the computer. When ODIN detect it, unplug and then replug your device. When ODIN back detect it then flash.
Recent versions of Odin work the other way around. First plug then open. Older like <1.87, first you open the program then you plug device. Glad it got solved.

I have also hit this screen several times while playing with roms, this is a fairly common example of "softbrick". Fortunately for me, Odin had no problems connecting, and then simply flashed an oem rom. I have not been able to hard brick this thing, which is a huge surprise considering all the flashing I've done. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't blown up like an iraqi IED yet lol!
This is a good thing! It means that Samsung built in a good failsafe. It just means you hosed your rom install all the way down to the bootloader. Easy to recover from
Glad ya learned to fix it!

Hi, my problem is identical. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 and after a failed update with Odin the message was:Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I try again with Odin and nothing. I used Kies, and nothing. Then i saw a reference to the md5 philz_touch_5.03.7-p5110.tar.md5 and i use it with Odin. Sucess but the message was RESET. Everithing disappeared from screen except the battery logo. The tablet is always on and with that image. The volume buttons and power don't work and it is not detected.
I'm affraid the thing is bad.
Can you help? Thank you.

Hey cruise, would you happen to still have the file you used on your son's box? The only page I can find won't let me in.

P5113 Bootloop Recovery

I've put my AT&T Tab 2 10.1 into a bootloop. I can get it into download mode but that is all. Can someone please point me in the right direction for the files to use with Odin. I've used Odin to recover from bootloops on other devices but I've done a bunch of searching around and everything I find for this one is either outdated or a broken link.
I just need to know where to find the right recovery files. Thank you!

[Q] cannot recover samsung N8013 (note 10.1) pit file missing

my friend's dad gave me his Samsung GT-N8013 tab to help him fix it.
the tab is not rooted and USB debugging is not enabled. The man also does not know the OS version in the tab. As a matter of fact he does not know what is JB, ICS or Kit Kat. He only knows them as desserts.
The problem is that the note does not boot, it cannot go into recovery, it cannot even turn off except u plug it to the charger.
it can only boot into download mode so i downloaded the official OS and tried to flash it using odin but it does not work. it says pit file missing.
i do not know how to help him. Please we will need your help
