[PROBLEM] Can't access recovery and bootloader! - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (WiFi) and I can't boot into recovery mode or download mode even with
pressing the power key and the volume up / down key.
I'm stuck in a bootloop and can't use ADB to boot into recovery because my
PC doesn't recognize my tablet!
This happened after I put a TWRP Backup on it.
What can I do to undo this?
Thanks in advance!

Can you kindly elaborate the method you used to restore your tab
Regards

I had the same thing. Bricked trying to put custom recovery in. Everything I find for my got p5113 is dead or garbage. Seems the only living way is with Odin and a tar.md5. problem is only tars I find working are stock. Everything else is a zip and it seems TWRP won't work or is just corrupt. All the tutorials use dead links. So I found a stock lag....I mean Samsung rom.

p6200 Cant access recovery, bootloop on 3.2, stuck on samsung logo 4.0.4

Hi, sorry for my bad english. Im from Vietnam, and im having a p6200
last night i tried to flash an the galaxy hd, the modified stock rom, through cwm, and i forgot to put it on external sdcard, i put it on the internal sdcard, and it failed to flash when system is erased. I've lost all my backup, because it was on the internal sdcard, but i still have the cwm recovery at that time.
Then, i tried to flash the 4.0.4 stock firmware through Odin. Flashing was ok, Odin show PASS!, but my tab is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo forever. This time looks like i've lost my root and cwm. I cannot access CWM nor stock recovery.
Then, i tried to flash back the stock 3.2, flashing still ok, but my tab got bootloop on the Samsung galaxy tab screen. I've tried the Vietnam fw and the UK fw both. When flashing is done and it's about to reset, ive seen just in a flash that there were 1 or 2 red line say that cannot access data/recovery... something.
I tried the emergency recovery in KIES. Never worked.
Now im out of option. I got bootloop on stock 3.2, stuck on 4.0.4, and i cannot access the recovery. Even when i try to flash recovery through Heimdall, it wont work. I can only access the download mode. By the way, the phone is neither stuck or bootloop, but it still charging through AC very good.
Did i hard brick my tab? Do i have to send it to warranty? Is my warrant now void? What options left do i have?
Panicing
Any one? Just tell me how can i get the recovery mode back

You are not alone.I was running 4.0.4 on my p6200 and was experimenting with the permanent CWM recovery and the temporary touch one.One thing led to another and my tablet was stuck at the samsung bootanimation.After a couple of reboots it was stuck at the galaxy tab plus logo.Finally it wouldn't boot anymore and my tab is literally dead.It doesn't respond to USB connection although it gets warm when plugged into an AC socket.I've been reading about the solutions extensively. There seems to be two : 1. Get it exchanged under warranty or 2. Get it Jtag-ed if you are out of warranty.

that would work, unless you have a hard brick. of course, you should try it, and see if you can recover from the bootloops.
Hey guys it seems i have found a solution. Just find a stock heimdall package rom and flash with heimdall. Somehow heimdall seem to be able to do what odin couldnt. Now my tab is running stock ics smoothly. Just use heimdall to flash. I hope this gonna help someone who in the situation like i was.

Halim,

1) reflash using odin 1.85.
2) Check repartion and select .pit
3) Get .pit in this link.
For save. Flash hc and wipe data (Your data will lost). Hope u already backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31915442
for others, don't ever wipe on any temporary recovery mode (Touch version) or ics stock recovery. Only use for flash root.zip and flash permanent recovery(cwr6.0.1.0).

This did not work for me. I tried putting it on a microsd and updating from that. I tried updating through odin, and I tried through ADB. Nothing worked. I don't think my device is rooted. Also have you found a working custom recovery?

The update via Odin should work.

Blank TWRP on Sm-g530h

Hello guys. I need your help badly.
I am using Galaxy Grand Prime smg530h
The problem is when I push the power button, my phone automatically boots to recovery mode which is Twrp, yeah I was my only problem last time. I guess I wipe something using twrp, my phone says "NO OS INSTALLED" . Then I googled some ways to fix so I installed a custom rom using twrp. I though my problem was solved but still when I turn on my phone it automatically boots recovery. I googled again and did something. But a big problem shows up, When I turn on my phone, it boots automatically to twrp but after the samsung logo flashes, black screen appears. Its just blank but the my phone black light is on and I think im on twrp since everytime I touch the screen it vibrates.
Please help me

Have you tried to re-install everything including your recovery? Perhaps even your bootloader or try to flash your ROM manually from fastboot or adb.

There is already a guide available for how to flash stock rom, which you can check out here. You can get the stock rom from sammobile, the official samsung firmware resource which you can check out here.
Good luck!
Edit: You can then try to reflash twrp and if it doesn't work, post about it in the twrp thread for your device.

Samsung doesn't use fastboot, they use download mode and flash with Odin. Be familiar with these kinds of specifics about a device if you're going to give advice, otherwise you might tell someone something very wrong unintentionally.

CWM is a dead project, it is no longer supported, that is why you are only finding TWRP. If you want custom recovery, use TWRP, it is a much better recovery than CWM anyway.

HELP! Bootloop after flashing TWRP

Hey folks,
my S10e (G970F) is bootlooping after flashing TWRP via Odin. The flashing process via Odin did PASS and I could enter TWRP afterwards because the file "Encryption_Disabler" needed to be installed while still in TWRP but I messed up since I've forgot to put that very specific file to the internal storage before and my PC doesn't seem to mount the S10e after being in recovery mode (TWRP). I was cursing myself and in a fit of distress I decided to reboot the S10e into system and that was when it doesn't boot past the SAMSUNG booting screen anymore. I'm stuck with bootlooping.
As for now, I can enter the download mode , my bootloader is unlocked and I'm back on stock recovery but the device deprives itself from booting up which resulted in a never ending bootloop. And let me tell you, bootlooping can cause extremely distress and you feel like sighing every other seconds because it keeps messing with your brain.
Can you guys help me out here? Thanks for your efforts!
I've managed to fix it myself. YAY! I'm happy!

TWRP on samsung tab a GT-P5110

Hi there,
I am trying to install an unofficial LineageOS V 13.0 to this tablet
I got some issues with TWRP, i followed some instruction videos.
I downloaded TWRP for the tablet : https://twrp.me/samsung/samsunggalaxytab2wifiunified.html
I opened odin and i went to the odin screen on the tablet ( power + vol - ) I Selected the .tar file at the AP section of Odin.
The installation was succesfull.
Now for entering the TWRP , ihave to press power + volume + buttom right? If i do that i get the boot screen from the tablet and i enter the android recovery ( the android on hes back, belly open with a red ! inside ) But it won't boot TWRP.
Any suggestions?

You've got to boot into recovery after flashing twrp. If you dont, stock recovery get rewritten.

Thanks for your responce !
Bricked it???
Ok, so I installed the twrp311-20180416-BIGSYS.zip onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5110. Since reboot back into recovery, the tablet has effectively bricked completely... doesn't turn on at all. It had 70+% power at time of install but nothing doing. It doesn't even register that it's plugged into the charger (ie no charging indicators). Have I truly bricked this old bad boy???
Any direction or help towards a fix greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bigsys.zip?
You sure you used the right recovery for your variant?
If not you might have bricked your tablet... Some other devices have a different partition layout (e.g recovery partition where we have our efs partition) which could brick a device if it's not made for that device.
For p31xx and p51xx you can get twrp also as .tar.md5 for Odin here: http://andi34.github.io/recoveries_tab2.html
