Tab 2 keeps booting to TWRP - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tab wont boot. (GT-P3113)
When I press the power button to power up, it automatically reboots to recovery.
Any fix ??
PS: I've already changed roms many times, like CM12, CM13, OmniRom (both android 5 and 6) Pac-Man rom but it doesnt fix the problem.
Pls help.

Have you done a clean flash? (that is to wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before installing the rom).
Also do you have the latest espresso common twrp recovery by Andi installed?
If the answer is yes in both questions, try after the wipe and before installing to resize the system partition (Wipe->Advanced Wipe-> select only the system -> Repair or change filesystem->Resize filesystem). That worked for me in the past, I am not sure why.

Well, Im using TWRP 3.0 because espresso-common twrp won't flash roms that are old. I've forgotten to erase the assert line on the updater-script.
Thanks, I will try to resize system and flash another rom. Hope it will fix my problem

I've tried resizing like what you've said, nothing changed.
It keeps on booting to twrp.

I've read Android-Andi's post about that emmc issue that emmc has been write-protected and can't flash anything.
He only said that affected devices are only 16GB variants
Mine is 8GB tab2 7'.
I can flash different roms (CM 12,13, Omni, PacMan) for my tab and it is always successful.
Is there a possible fix for that ? I mean, is there a script/.sh file that will trigger a normal reboot rather than rebooting to recovery everytime I press power-on?
Pls help
/I've tried the reboot options in TWRP but nothing changes, it doesn't reboot, it powers off the tab.
/I've also tried flashing old CWM (6.0.2.7) but the problem still persist, I thought "disabling recovery reflash" would solve the problem but it doesn't show.
/'Tried restoring nandroid backup of stock rom (4.2.2) but keep getting a status 7 error

Mine is 8GB version, and I didn't encounter any symptoms stated there, my tab just reboots to recovery automatically even if I don't press the combination Vol Up + Power.

That's about all tabs if I am not mistaken. Check the small letters on the back cover. If it's a verizon variant (and not a p3113), it would explain the roms not booting.

same issue here, i did some mistakes like you did too... tried reflashing stock roms from sammobile from stock HC to ICS.. but no luck.. got my tab plus GT P6200 is now in bootloop.. saw someone fixed his bootloop by using odin thru using .pit file, csc, bootloader, pda and repartition checked... i wanted to try it but i cant find my tab's bootloader and csc files... if anyone knows where can i get those files, i badly needed your help too... thanks in advance...
Just make sure it's not just a corrupted data partition first before doing something as drastic as repartition.

You'll know that it's more than a corrupted partition when running disk scan/fix (using e2fsck from an adb shell through recovery) and then afterwards flashing the rom again doesn't work.

Try Heimdall?
What method did you use? You tried flashing CWM 6.01.0 and then flashing CM 10? what version and what build? Maybe you want to flash another build in case it's just a problem in certain build?

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) comes with the Android SDK. Basically you boot the device into CWM recovery then connect the device to a computer using a USB cable and run the command 'adb shell' which will then give you a shell prompt where you can send commands directly to be run on the device.
If you're getting reboots from trying to wipe certain partitions repeatedly from CWM then that's a pretty strong indication that you have a corrupted partition.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Bootloop

Hi. Please help. I have been running CM10.1 on my rooted tablet and I decided to try CM11. I don't know what I have done but CM11 did not work so I tried to go back to CM10.1, and that just gets stuck on the boot screen. I have tried several different Roms and they all get stuck on the boot screen. The only Rom that will work is CM9.1? I don't know what I could have done to cause this. I am running Philz Touch 6.12.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your EFS seems to be broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system....
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.

Latest CWM Touch for our Device 6.0.2.7 ... i am sure you used a file for a different device and that broke your EFS!
Do you still have the file? you can upload it for me and send me a private message with the link, i can take a look on it. Please don't post the file here in the thread (i do not like to see someone else flashing it and breaking his efs).

cyanogenmod does it too just not as mutch it happens only like one or twice since I changed the file system. Sometimes not even once or twice. I Switch roms alot though. If you want to try this just hit me up and I will give you instructions on how to do it. You have to have a rom ready to flash and go when you do it.

Why there is no INSTALL ZIP in CM Recovery only INSTALL UPDATE?

PS.
I try both CM and TWRP Recovery, and phone stuck on CM logo.
Try re-downloading rom from cm site and put on sd card then go to recovery and do a full wipe by clicking advanced then check mark all boxes except the sd card box. Then flash rom. Your install scripts are in meta inf folder. dont tinker with it.

That the newest version lollipop should work on it. Try changing system to ext4 but swipe factory reset first then click data then change to ext4 then swipe factory reset again then flash rom. Try a a different lollipop ROM. I'm currently using DU. But they all work if you can't flash anything I have been working on stock version of the last 4.4.2 and finally got it to flash via twrp 2.8.6.0. It has root and xposed and app ops adblocker and just got init.d to work just need to do a quick rebuild so init.d sticks via kernel auditor. You can flash it just to get your device going if all else fails.

My stock 4.4.2 is now running well , but I have some restarts of device some times,
that why I would like to try CM 12.1. I flash it 3 or 4 times and always stuck on CM logo.

Mine doesn't reboot and has been optimized. Also try a different ROM to flash but like DU or Mokee there's plenty of other ones. But try changing system to ext4 first. Then flash. I gave you directions on that in post few minutes ago. Try it and see if it works.
Returning to the main topic of this tread.
I have noticed that when I have MOBILE DATA turn off
the restarts do not occur.

Is it possible to flash CM 11 via twrp 2.8.6.0?

I have found the solution of this issue.
The problem is with the FAST DORMANCY service.
When it is active but provider does not support it
it causes problem.
It should be disabled in the file /system/build.prop
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true

So I think i accidentally deleted my boot/ volume

Okay so my phone is bootlooping and it basically says that /boot/ is unmountable. I can still boot into Download mode and use odin, so is there anything i can do to just reset the phone entirely or something?
The phone is a Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) if you're wondering (probably not)

You can simply install the stock firmware of your device. The process is extremely easy.

Try ticking nand erase all. You might just have to fix a null imei bug

its not a null imei bug im afraid, i already tried that. Im pretty sure its because the /data volume is GONE
Try using cf autoroot. This will root the phone, but it sometimes also solves partitioning issue

format /data
should i do it through odin or just somehow do it through TWRP?
Formating data through twrp should solve it

ok yeah how
/data and /cache are special since you can delete them and android should generate the partition for you .. you just need to "format" them
