Bricked P5100 with stock ROM - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
My colleague bring me her daughter' tab. This tab wasn't be used for few months and now they can't start it.
After charge on 100% I can't start this tab, too. Time to time I see splash screen w Samsung TAB logo and battery charging screen.
I boot tab into Odin mode but I PCs where I try to connect this tab can't recognize Tab. I installed drivers for samsung devices and after that I tried install last KIES. Both w/o any progress.
There isn't recovery only Odin mode. Tab has stock ROM, never be rooted and probably locked USB debugging.
Do you have any idea what I may to do? Is there anyway how to bring it to life w/o PC?
Thank you

[Q] Am I bricked?

Despite all my research I think I've bogged it... My P5110 upgraded automatically to JB and I lost CWM in the root although I was still rooted. I have no connection anymore with ODIN through USB to my PC (latest KIES drivers).
I decided to try the AOKP build 2 ROM but I am ashamed to say I tried to install it through mobile ODIN instead of CWM and it hasn't worked.
I have a stock recovery mode and it won't install anything from the external SD and I'm stuck on the Galaxy Tab screen plus the machine won't switch off.
The stock ROM I am trying to get back on is P5110XXBLH3_P5110UVSBLH1_PEO.zip I also have GT-P5113_P5113XARCLH-OTA-P5113UEBLH3_XAR_280235988.zip but no luck with either.
Is it dead?
Don't panic, seems like a driver issue more than a problem with the tablet. Troubleshooting:
Clean tablet USB port
Go to Device Manager in Control Panel, find your tab, go to properties, update driver
Try another computer

[Q] Cant reset Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P3113 back to stock. Cant connect to computer

Hello guys. I've been having this problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113 ever since I flashed Cyanogen mod on it. I would like to set it back to stock firmware but for some reason my PC wont recognize my tablet as a device. My tablet will charge and I also have USB debugging on but still my windows 8 laptop wont recognize my tablet.
So here is my problem in a nutshell:
I Cant find the stock rom for my tablet
My tablet cant connect to my computer
Please help me. I would rather not spend another couple hundred dollars on a new one.
Thanks!

The only way to go back to stock (factory state) is flashing a backup, which is recommended before installing Cyanogenmod or any other custom rom. Other than that, if you're lucky, you can try and find the stock firmware for your P3113.
The issue of your P3113 not connecting to your PC via USB: Try powering off the tablet completely. Connect your tablet to your PC via USB. It should install the USB drivers. When it's done, disconnect your device, boot up the tablet completely. Connect the tablet to your PC again with the USB. If you don't see a change, try enabling USB debugging. I had the same issue with my P5113. This worked for me.

how to bring back p3100 (solved)

I usually keep flashing ROMS.
This time in sheer confidence I didnt charge the battery full.
I was switching from mokee 4.4 to CM11.
I wiped everything for a fresh install and unfortunately CM11 didnt install.
The tab restarted and now it wont go into recovery. what just happened?
It is just showing logo and I cannot get into Odin more either.
The tab had about 30% battery when it shut off and I cannot reach a charger for it for the next 4 hours.
Can I switch it off in any way to save battery?
the phone has switched off now. Is service center the only alternative? the tab was rooted with mokee installed.

Try charging it when you have time and then try re flashing the stock Rom before taking it to service center
will the tab 2 charge without a recovery or ROM in place?

I think it should
Ok, the tab2 is charging. thank you
I installed all the necessary drivers and odin and recovery on my laptop.
The tab2 is giving error on pc (this device wont start) mtp uSB. THe tab is stuck at 'samsung p3100' logo.
If it is any help, I have a working p3100 also running on stock firmware.
what should be my next step? I think I can manage if only I can get odin to recognize my phone or get into recovery (both of which seem to be missing.)

Try reinstalling drivers
@shsagnik : Thank you very much for helping out.
I got installed all drivers by using the other P3100. But when I connect the bricked p3100, pc doesnt install MTP USB drivers. Under device manager it says " failed to start".
ODIN doesn't recognize it. either.
My mistake was I flashed everything on the phone including the internal memory.
PS: Can I force ODIN to recognize my phone?
Ok, my almost bricked device is back and runnning.
This might just help somebody. but my android handset was on a logo only mode. something in the combination of
Attaching it to pc (windows 7 64-bit)
re-installing and rejigging drivers
trying to let ODIN identiify
connecting via Samsung kies (I also tried restore on kies).
connecting a working android phone instead of the dead phone with pc to find and install drivers.
worked.
PS: I also let it sit dead powered off (worked only when charger was attached) for a whole day before trying to boot into recovery or bootlaoder (both worked).

bricked s6?

Hello, a friend of mine brought me probably bricked sm G920F (galaxy s6). he was on custom rom and twrp 3.0.2. He accidentaly wipped everything on the device and now it is stacked on twrp loading screen. i downloaded usb drivers and odin to flash back to stock but the pc is not recognizing my device when i boot into download mode. So i am a bit stacked since twrp is not loading and the phone is not recognized by my pc. We tried on different pcs with different cables and usb ports but still the phone is not get recognized.
Any suggestions?
hey, I'm in a similar boat.. been wrangling with it for a few days I am attempting the Emergency Software Recovery using Samsung Smart Switch, have you tried that?
It's shown when inquiry adb devices?
You must flash original firmware with ODIN

Issues with the Galaxy S6 (broken flash chip?)

Hello guys, I'm really STUCK with the galaxy S6 (G920F) at the moment.
A friend gave it to me he said it suddenly turned off while he was playing a game and couldn't boot anymore.
I can't turn it off, it will keep on turning on automatically.
I can't go into recovery mode.
I can only go into download mode and flash a firmware with odin
I flashed the stock firmware with the latest odin and it flashed successfully. But it's still stuck on the Samsung logo (powered by Android) and won't boot into recovery or do anything at all.
So I read it could be the battery, so I bought a new one and replaced the battery.
But the problem remains. On Windows 7 x64 it's detected as "Gadget Serial" and "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" when I'm in download mode.
Odin detects the phone fine.
I then tried using Samsung Kies, and Samsung Smart Switch. Samsung Smart Switch detects an "unsupported device" and Samsung Kies doesn't detect anything at all and is stuck at "connecting...".
I don't have any ideas anymore and I fear it's a dead flash chip or any other board malfunctions.
It has never been rooted or had installed something like a custom rom. It's 100% stock / stuck..
Any suggestions maybe? Pleasee?
