Help! My recovery mode is bricked on my Tab2 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings, community
I had a hard time yesterday figuring out how to revive my Tab2... My device is (or was) a Tab 2 Wifi P5110 with the Germany 4.2.2 stock ROM installed.
I accidentially (...) flashed TWRP image with ODINs BL (!) option... (3.13) don't ask why... gave me no error... After that it wouldn't want to boot nor it wanted to go to recovery anymore... just a blank screen with backlight on. The only thing that still worked was the download mode.
So to rescue the OS I downloaded the stock 4.2.2 tar (Germany / DBT-P5110XXDMI1-20131118182728) and flashed it with ODIN 3.07 / AP. That worked without errors and after reboot the tablet booted normally to the GUI. :angel:
So far so good, but as I want to get a CustomROM to the device I wanted to get into recovery mode. I tried to get to stock recovery with Pwr+Vol- but the Android Robot didn't show up (I did before my BL-FLash... the day before) and I ended up with just a blank black screen (with backlight on). I tried flashing TWRP with ODIN 3.07 / AP with no other result.
How can I fix that? Have I destroyed some part of my bootloader (?) or bricked my recovery mode with that BL flashing action? What else can I do to get at least the stock recovery and/or TWRP back?
Anybody a glue?
Thanks in advance,

N8013 bootscreen stuck - searched forum and tried everything. Please help.

It was on stock ROM and I had rooted it. Had not used it for a while.
Got some free time so decided to reset/format the tablet and start from scratch.
Decided to install stock ROM using Odin and downloaded firmware(N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_XAR) and the process went smoothly and passed. :good:
But it was stuck in a boot loop so I tried recovery and that was gone so went back to download mode and tried other firmware other recoveries. Everything shows successful with Odin but am back to square one.
Other firmwares tried -
N8013UEUCOI1
N8013UEUCMI3
N8013UEUCMD3
N8013UEUCMC2
N8013UEUCMB3
N8013UEUCMA3
N8013UEALI3
Tried recovery install with Odin using .tar files CWM TWRP and Phil did not take
Model: GT N8013 EA16ARB (16GB Wifi only)
Only able to get into download mode - cannot get into recovery mode.
Any suggestions?
I am having a similar issue with not getting pass the SAMSUNG logo after the little boot animation. I have never had this much trouble with going back to stock on any device before...
Back last year I thought that I had finished off my tablet, however after following this I was able to recover it. I don't recall much from what I had done so please use at your own risk.

A huge problem after odin a TWRP

I have a huge problem!
I flashed the twrp (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-aterminatorg920f3zpa1m-6-0-11-0b-t3295183 ) via odin ,as said, and then the phone stayed in download mode instead of rebooting or saying something like "finish" (in odin i got a message that the process successed) only the writing "dont turn the phone off". it stay like this for a long time so i had turn the phone off and since then the phone doesnt go past the samsung s6 logo screen and can be booted into recovery mode in any way!!
Ive tried reflashing twrp (many versions) and to use every other combination to get into Recovery mode (so i could do a factory reset or a data wipe) but it doesnt work.
I had this issue. It was because I was running the latest 5.1.1 update and couldn't flash TWRP. My solution was to use odin to flash stock recovery.
Hope that helps
where cani find stock recovery?

Another Galaxy note 10.1 (n8020) stuck in bootloop

I was using the tablet and it re-booted to a boot loop. It cannot be stopped boot looping except to enter Odin mode. It will just boot loop until the battery runs out.
I've tried the myriad of advice on here and elsewhere trying to re-boot it, or at least boot to recovery but nothing works.
I've also tried to flashing back to original f'ware with Odin but it fails.
Before the boot loop it was happily running cm12.1 from here (the n8020 rom within the thread):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-t2996920
Has my hardware fried itself? Or is there anything I can do?
Any help appreciated. :crying:
Same Problem with a N8010 Stock KitKat rom. Nothing except ODIN works
Will try to flash the TWRP and hope to get the recovery mode back.
Tried twrp-2.8.6.0-gt-n8010.tar with ODIN 3.12.3 - 3.09 and recovery-stock-dnj1-GTN8010.tar with 3.11.1 and 3.07 ... everthing failed, most after NAND write start. Possible the memory is broken?
Any ideas? Any way to check the internal memory/storage?

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.

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

SM-A750FN (Sam. a7 2018) TWRP not loading

Hello, my problem is that I flash "Twrp_3.2.3-1_a750.tar" with ODIN in order to try and root my SM-A750FN device.
After I flash it and ODIN sais PASS, I get out of download mode and immediatly enter recovery mode. At that point the teamwin logo flashes on the screen and then the phone shuts down. The phone boots up again, tries to go into recovery mode again at which point it goes into a kind of bootloop to teamwin logo and after a few tries it just stays closed, doesnt take anymore commands (dl, recovery, etc.) and starts to heat up like he is still bootlooping just doesnt show on the screen. I let the battery drain, i go into download mode and install stock firmware. I know long story.
SHORT STORY: SM-A750FN wont go into TWRP recovery, when i try to go to recovery mode it bootloops to TWRP logo. I would like to solve this in order to root it.
I specify that i have changed the firmware(rom) on the device, the original one worked with TWRP, I tried the latest firmware I could find for two separete regions and both have the same behavior.
Thanks in advance!
Re-flash the original ROM to get rid off of the failed TWRP installation.
Hello, thanks for the answear. Do you have any idea where to get the original rom from? I dont have it anymore as i din't make a back-up before flashing the ones that i got from the internet. I already tried to flash 2 stock roms from the internet and they dont seem to work with twrp.
Request it from OEM / Carrier.
BTW: It's NOT the installed ROM that doesn't work with TWRP but it's TWRP that doesn't work with installed ROM. Take note that TWRP rewrites portions of installed ROM.
I see, so I should request it from Samsung? Also thanks for you answears, i think i'll try atleast one older ROM for my phone, maybe TWRP will work with that. Thanks!
