Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Help!! - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I am a new person in the forums, so please understand if I'm not good at some stuff and if I'm posting this in the wrong place
Well, story is that I found my old Galaxy Tab 2 in my basement after 3 years, and I got it to turn on (no factory cable, 1€ chinese cable). Android version is 4.0.3.
Found a couple of roms in the forums for 6.0, and yes, I've done it before on my phones.
Computer cannot recognize the tab, only says "Unrecognized device", even though I've tried every driver there is to it. Tried kies, no help. Tried odin, no help.
Neither of those detect the tab either, so I rooted it from the tab itself with KingRoot.
Now the tab is rooted, and I tried to flash TWRP to install 6.0.
It says that the recovery is flashed, but when I try to reboot to recovery, it only restarts, with nothing.
It goes into download mode just perfectly, but when connected to the pc, it still doesn't detect it.
I do not have money to buy a new tablet, so I would really like some advice.
Thanks!

hello
go in download mod ( power & vol+ )
go back to origin
use cfautoroot (all needed in it odin + drivers + cfautoroot)
use a new cable
after that install twrp, os ( first cm12.1 )
regards

Hi, will try!

Don't set auto reboot in Odin.
Once TWRP is flashed wait 1 minute and unplug the tab.
Now directly boot into TWRP, else stock recovery get restored on boot.
You should update over OTA to 4.1 or 4.2 if available first, else you'll have to flash a newer bootloader using Odin to avoid graphics glitches at boot.

Hi, thanks! Got it working!
It was a very good idea to ask xda for help

Can you tell me how you did it? Where to get origin? I have the same problem - please help.

USB debugging doesnt work after flashing custom rom

I flashed paranoid custom rom 2.53..but realize wifi didnt work hence i went to clear and reflash 2.50 everything works fine except usb debugging.
Whenever i try usb debugging to my laptop, i see a yellow caution under drivers... and then i tried uninstalling and reconnecting and re enabling the USB debugging under development in my tab 7.7
Could it be i didnt tick usb Debugging mode when flashing the rom??
ANy suggestions?
Side Note: Widgets like google-my library also not working. It shows a grey big icon thats all..

uninstall everything.
and you have to follow the instruction.
. Uninstall any previous instance of Kies/USB driver
2. Download the latest Kies, specific to your S3.
3. Download Samsung USB drivers 1.4.6.0 (I've tried newer versions but they all failed)
4. REBOOT
5. Disconnect from internet (VERY IMPORTANT!!! - forcing Windows to install local drivers ONLY)
6. With the phone disconnected, install Kies + USB drivers downloaded in steps 2,3
7. Connect the phone and let Windows install the drivers.
8. Reestablish the internet connection.

setup latest kies with latest drivers.
go to download mode, download is not related to enabling usb dubugging from settings (it should be detected in odin normally)
first wipe the data and factory reset in twrp, or cwm first to avoid super brick bug.
flash the downloaded rom as the tutorial steps normally.

hi
how to do that, how i must reinstall usb driver in my phone ?
You have to reinstall drivers on pc, not phone.
U flashed cfroot come from where?
And I think u have boot loop.
If you can go download mode, than u can do flashing stock ROM. Just have to settle your PC driver.
Try uninstall all driver, and shutdown and restart PC (not restart PC), and reinstall again
Or get another PC which never install Samsung driver, install on it and see if Odin can detect your phone.
Or, try different USB port.
Edit: if you flashed other model cfroot, you have no hope.

hi all
i think chongns has raison i'm sure i'm flashed with instead of cfroot kpe i've flashed a bagaria 09 gt i9003 pda but normally all sait it's cfroot universal then normally it's not a problem but after reset the phone is briked.
i've already to reinstall usb driver one try on mac one try on windows, sorry severla try.
but i hope always.
FYI
i've alredy swap the usb cable
swap Os mac windows
Reinstall usb driver

Strange Thing

when i connect the usb charge the screnn is blinking every 3, 5 seconds
and the batterie is not in charge when i've connected it to the usb power

Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks
The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.
Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.
Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0
Report back.
already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help
If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

Try installing the google USB drivers.They are normally installed with the android SDK. Maybe they can help you detect the phone or you can try to manually update the driver.

as i mentioned above sir , the phone is recognized when it is ON but the problem occurs when i go to download mode . i think it is not concerned with the drivers
Have a look at this soft-brick help guide. If your phone is not even able to enter the Recovery Mode, you may have a case of NAND rw corruption and recovery may not even be possible (you may have to look at hard unbrick scenarios).
Having said that, these are a few things I might have still tried if I were you:
1. If you have access to a Linux PC or a bootable Ubuntu drive, start it and see whether it recognizes your phone using the lsusb command. It will help you to rule out any driver issues.
2. Try to drain the battery (by keeping a long time in that welcome screen) and then do a fresh recharge and then try again.

bricked On5 after changing "OEM" setting in Dev Options - VERY Frustrated

i am not a phone geek. i'm frustrated at the difficulty in getting a clear answer as to how to unbrick my G550T after getting "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock."
I've attempted approx 5 different "SOLVED" methods, none to any avail.
I know i'm not permanently bricked - i've been through this before. someone, please help???
I've downloaded Odin but it won't see my phone even when i boot my phone into DL mode.
Please help, someone?
Have you installed the samsung USB drivers? Tried different USB ports and/or cables.
You're on the right track here. Flashing stock firmware should solve it.

Try uninstalling any of these if you have them:
1) Kies
2) Smart Switch
3) Samsung USB drivers
Then reinstall just the drivers and try Odin again.
Make sure it's a stock USB cord
Try different USB ports (i.e. 2.0, 3.0)
Try a different PC

Kies can interfere with Odin, all you need is your stock firmware file, the USB drivers and Odin.
