P3100 Nand write failed - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I was using SlimKat 4.4 on my galaxy tab. One fine day the tab stopped booting, I tried flashing the original firmware(from sammobile) but it wouldn't flash. Every time I try to flash, I get a message on odin stating that Nand Write complete(failed)
Can someone please help. I've googled around and I've also tried some of the method stated to work. I've bought a new genuine samsung cable for the cause as well. Can someone please point me in the right direction to fix the tabled.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

This could be the dreaded emmc bug . To make sure, can you boot in recovery? If you can, try flashing other roms. If it still boots up with Slim6 and everything intact, it 99% could be the emmc. Only an emmc upgrade or motherboard replacement can fix it.
EDIT: Maybe you could look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/soft-bricked-tab-gt-p3100-t3016879/

Yup, It says that my device is not supported for the upgrade. Any other way I can reload the software??

Other than odin, I can't think of any other methods of restoring the software. Sorry

Either a partition of emmc got corrupted by physical damage(considering the fact samsung shipped these tabs with a cheap card) or worse you erased nand while flashing firmware through Odin (did you check any box in odin yourself?)
if it's the latter case, heimdall would also not work,
tried with odin 1.85? flashed with pit file, and the four firmware files? that would be your last bet, (search google or my guide in the signature) after that it's up to the service centres.

Um, i believe GT P6200 and P6201 is only differ at design, so i think that's okay and no need to change ?

unless your sending it for repair/etc. Then its recommended to flash a stock Odin anyways, which should restore your model number.

How can I wipe every single partition ?
It means just factory reset/wipe cache ?
If it is not, please tell me how I can do.
I really need your help
actually I would try Odin'ing to the earliest firmware for your device first, as that will likely contain the bootloaders, then you can Odin or OTA to the latest Firmware for your device.
Im quite certain these are low level images/strings (I had to JTAG repair mine for flashing custom bootloader), which are not easily changeable.
If you had to send it back for a refund, I would suggest trying to find the official firmware, possibly including .pit file.
as a last resort... you could have somebody get their PIT file and manually pull those .img's (dd if= , dd of=, etc.) VERY DANGEROUS!
or just unroot and hope they dont notice!

By using 'heimdall suites'

No problem. You can do it.
And, Can you extract your pit file from your phone ? (Before flashing)
I need file, but you'll be too.
If your model name change, you can't get customer service.
So, you need back it up.

[Q] Tried to root Korean SM-P900; now stuck in reboot loop

Hi,
I have a Korean SM-P900 that I tried to root with CF AutoRoot using Heimdall. I identified the recovery and cache partitions using print-pit, then flashed the recovery.img and cache.img to their respective partitions. After that it started booting, and was stuck at the Samsung screen for several minutes.
I then rebooted it by holding down the power button. When it was booting back up, it showed a message in Korean and with a counter that counted up to 79, then showed a similar message counting up to another number. It kept doing that no matter what, never booting up, even if I rebooted it again.
After that I tried flashing it again the same way. Now it shows the same message as earlier, but actually boots into the Samsung initial setup screen. However, I can't get past it, because a message showing "MyScript ResourceManager", followed by some Korean text, blocks me from doing anything, and if I hit okay it just reappears.
Any ideas on how to unbrick it?
Try going into recovery and do a Full reset. If that doesn't work, download the Korean firmware (or whichever version you want, as long as it is SM-P900) and flash back to stock using Odin. Messing with partitions using Heimdall can be tricky and dangerous if you don't have a PIT file for your device. Hope this works for you.

Going into recovery and doing a reset fixed the problem. Thank you very much!
The reason I didn't flash back to stock earlier was because I couldn't find the Korean stock firmware anywhere, and I was unsure if I could flash another country's firmware to it without breaking something. Nice to know that I can.
Now that it's functional again, will it be okay to try to root it again, this time using Odin?

Yes, flashing another region is ok, but you may have issues with keyboard languages and wifi channels being different. Yeah just use Odin for CF-Autoroot. You can download a recovery image to flash if it gets stuck on cache.img. It's in the cf-autoroot thread for the 12.2. Best to read the entire thread before you start. Good luck.

[Completed] [Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 I9515 Soft-Bricked

Hello, today I tried to root my phone but then I found out I used the wrong version on Odin. I used GT9505 instead of my phones version which is GT9515. My phone is now messed up and is giving me the " firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again " error log as soon as I turn it on.
I followed tutorials on how to fix this issue. I have applied 2 of these tutorials which both did not work out for me.
1. Odin (Re-installing the firmware) as soon as I set everything up and hit start it fails and it tells me " There is no PIT partition " (Yes I made sure Re-partition is checked off on Odin)
2. Using the Kies application and doing the tutorial on androidcentral "/how-to-fix-firmware-upgrade-encountered-an-issue-on-kies/". (Which also did not work, as soon as it reached stage 2 it told me it couldn't connect to the device which was working fine on the first stage.
I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your time.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Flash the I9515 stock tar file in Odin WITHOUT re-partition checked. If you need further help ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192886. They are the experts on your device.

Ok, I'm not sure what tutorials you used or where you got the tar file to flash in Odin. But get the same Android version as you were on from sammobile.com or Samsung-updates.com. You'll download a zip file. Extract it using 7-zip or winrar. Use the resulting .tar.md5 file in PDA of Odin

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S6 won't get past "NAND write start" HELP!!

I understand that there are many other posts about this particular issue but very few are solved and even if they are it is usually phone specific. There is no guide for the S6 yet, that I know of so I shall continue
Anyway I tried to flash the stock firmware using Odin to get out of a soft bricked situation. I originally tried to update the software via Smart Switch which failed. Then it asked to perform an emergency recovery via Smart Switch, this also failed spectacularly. Ive tried phoning customer support with no help as it was rooted previously.
Quick summary:
1. I unrooted then factory reset + wipe cache
2. Update via Smart Switch failed
3. Emergency recovery via Smart Switch failed
4. Odin pauses at "NAND write start" when attempting to flash
I have used Odin 3.9 and 1.3 with multiple stock firmwares both .tar.md5 and trying just .tar (it helped another user) with no results
PLEASE HELP AS I DONT WANT A 400 POUND PAPER WEIGHT
Thanks

I had the same thing. Try a different Odin version. I used the one from the thread in the general forum. I forget which version it is. I think it is 3.10.6
Sent from my SM-G920V using XDA Free mobile app
If you just flashed Android 5.1.1 then reflashed old 5.0.2 it will not work. You may need to wait for the specific 5.1.1 firmware for your country. Sammobile is a good place to check if its available. Try changing the data cable to another one, or plugging it to USB 2 port instead of USB 3. Also disable your antivirus. Last resort is bringing your S6 back to Samsung for warranty repair. I hope it helps.
i managed to download a 5.1.1 french version which I'm trying. also i have used different ports but not a different cable. I want to try Odin 3.10.6 but every time i try to find and download it it never works
I am unsure if it was 5.1.1 or the earlier firmware I am trying to use.
Thanks for your replies guys, much appreciated. Im getting to the stage of thinking I should dump the brick and getting a new one tbh. I'v exhausted all other options as Customer support won't help knowing my warranty is void.
just to clarify i didn't flash with 5.1.1 then try to flash a lower firmware. I factory reset then tried to update through smart switch which failed and lead to this horrific bricked situation

When you say flashing, fhalsing what exactly got you the bootloop? Was it flashing the engineering Boot.img through Odin or the fix S7 zip through Flashfire... Or something else?

Only a few things I can think to ask:
1) You are using the Odin version by PrinceComsy... not the original version of Odin?
2) When you download the engineering boot image, you're downloading it for your phone model (S7 for S7, S7 Edge for the S7 Edge)? Maybe you accidentally downloaded the wrong one?
3) When uploading the boot image through Odin, the boot image TAR file is in the AP slot of Odin?
4) Last thing I can think is easy, is the boot image is still a TAR file correct? Its not a ZIP or any other file extension?
Have you tried downloading the image again? I invite you to check out a thread I'm part of if you want another location to download the S7 engineering boot image, that thread located here and the boot image file can be downloaded directly from here

You're welcome, just trying to figure it out. Though I see this is a common thing, so I wonder what is different with the Cricket version?
And you're rooting the Nougat version of the phone? This seems to be a topic floating around with no one explaining it. I've tried looking to see if maybe the processor might be somehow a "reduced" version of the 820 compared to the others... but everything makes it look like it should work.
Only other thing I would say is go back through all the steps, and make sure you're not accidentally skipping one. I did that a bunch of times when I first started off. I ended up printing off instructions and making note edits. Took me a few different sets of instructions until I found a formula that worked for my G930P

Oh I'll have to go back and do some rereading then, because I thought I saw some websites saying that phone was already on Nougat. If you're still on MM this should be easier I would think... hmmm
For me, it took me about 4 or 5 different threads of talking about how they rooted their Sprint S7 phone, for me to find the right instructions for myself to root my phone. But I know along the way I would miss a step, then my phone wouldn't boot or bootloop like yours. That's why I went back and printed out instructions and checked off to make sure I didn't skip anything. After awhile I could wrap my head around it.
Just saying we are all human, so it's easy to skip a step. Though it doesn't seem like you're the only one having this problem. But if all the branded US phones are pretty much rooted one way or another, I don't see why yours would be any different.

Your probably right I'll try those steps again and see if anything changes. The only model I see that's close to g930az would be the at&t which is g930a. I know I got lucky with the last attempt to try with it in soft brick. I just don't want to try to many and it be completely screwed. Because on cricket you have to buy all of you phones up front well at least I had to with mine. I'll try it again and let you know if it worked or I have a paper weight haha. Thanks again

Because on cricket you have to buy all of you phones up front well at least I had to with mine. I'll try it again and let you know if it worked or I have a paper weight haha. Thanks again

With following the steps you are and what you have happening, you should be OK with being able Odin back to factory firmware.
Yeah Cricket is kind of the double edge sword, you have to buy the phone up front, but they have CHEAP prices for good service. I had them when I first moved to Arizona and would have kept them, if I didn't travel so much.
Report back if anything changes.

Do you have the stock firmware and Odin? Flash that will get you back to stock and functional. Does take awhile to flash the full imagine, but can pretty much fix any software brick issues.

What's the failure error? OEM Unlock in Android was turned on correct?

It says "Encrypt Error" in smart switch. What does OEM Unlock mean?

By default the phones are locked so someone can't steal your phone and Reimage it. If you boot your phone up after trying to flash do you get an FPR or some sort of error like that?

I would recommend going to sammobile or updato to get the firmware for your phone. Sounds like you have the wrong model. If you need help I can help in an hour or so when I get home.
