[Q] Unrooted Galaxy Tab 2 P5113, boot loop, can't presently install recovery utility

Hello,
I've a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 that I've had for more than a year.
Recently, in the last few weeks, it's developed a boot loop. In my many attempts to fix this, I've tried to put the samsung factory fresh ROM in it (P5113XACCLK7_XAC) that didn't work using ODIN 1.85, Heimdall, and never could get a good connection with Kies. I've tried to install different recovery utilities (Philz, CWM, recovery-clockwork, etc). When it boots into recovery mode, it shows the android robot and then an 'installing package' message briefly followed by a dead-android robot with a red warning sign with a 'command not found' error.
In the Android System Recovery <3e> mode, when I clear cache partition .. I get the same dead-robot error graphic with 'Error' as the message and the tablet goes back into boot-loop. When I select 'wipe data/factory reset' .. I get the same dead-robot error with the 'No Command' error message and it goes back into the Android System Recovery menu.
This tablet is behaving as if it has an unwritable file system..
Right now, I'd do just about anything to get this back to normal ROM.
Suggestions?
Thanks a lot

I am not sure if this will work for you but Odin v1.85 never worked for my P5110. I had to use Odin v3.07.

Is your tab wifi or is it through a carrier?

Tyler, I see that your last post was back in April, and although I'm fairly certain what your answer will be, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask anyway. Were you able to resolve this problem? If so, would you mind sharing the steps you took in your process? I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (P5113), and out of nowhere it performed a reboot and it has been looping ever since.
This has happened a couple times in the past two years I've owned the device and with my very limited knowledge regarding ROMs, flashing or rooting, I found my way to the System Recover Menu and was able to select the option to reset the tablet to factory settings. The system began the process of erasing the data and once it was complete I was able to reboot the tablet and everything worked just like new.
The process I just described has been successful for me twice before. So, yesterday when the tablet began it's reboot loop I attempted to perform the same steps as I had done in the past. This time, however, when I tried to enter the System Recovery Menu, "No Command" appeared beneath an unhealthy looking green android fellow. Whenever I attempt to select and run one of the options in the Recovery menu the command will fail and give an error.
I've been searching and reading threads all day trying to understand what is happening. Your OP has been the only one I've come across so far that resembles what I'm experiencing. Keeping my fingers crossed you may be able to provide some insight at least.
Thanks so much!

Boot loop
After I installed v4.2.2 shortly after release, I didn't like a few things (including some instability), so I went back to v4.1.1 using Odin, which at that time did the job. A few months later I reinstalled v4.2.2, and shortly after that, I noticed that Samsung pushed a significant sized patch to v4.2.2, and the instability stopped.
Sometime later, I tried again to go back to v4.1.1. Odin installed the prior version successfully, but then I entered a boot loop. I used Odin to reinstall v4.2.2, and all was well again.
No matter how many times I've tried to go back to v4.1.1, I now can't; I get the boot loop. However, I can always reinstall v4.2.2 with success. I suspect that the Samsung v4.2.2 patch changed something that now prevents going back to v4.1.1.
I don't know if this helps, but I thought I'd throw it out.

I have tried 7 different methods to fix from safe mode to factory resetting Google
Please help.
I have the exact same issue and have tried (safe mode. Uninstalling most of apps and factory reset play store.)
I can use my partners hot spot and never reboots.
WHY?
Please some1 who can help me with this exact problem please help.

See if holding Volume down & Home & power until the phone reboots twice (Don't let go of the buttons until it has rebooted twice) hopefully it will enter download mode after the second reboot
From there you should be able to flash stock again and fix the loop

so I had a stock rom after messing around with rooted roms. the stock one i got from sammobile and had the install drk first problem but i flashed no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip in twrp recovery. after that i wanted to make a backup so when I wanted to get to the twrp recovery it got stuck in a boot loop so i got it into download mode and flashed stock firmware and that resulted in the problem above.
as long as my phone is working again I dont care about whar to do but I would prefer a stock rom.

Did you use CSC with ODIN to force a factory reset after the flash? (HOME_CSC will not reset the device, so can leave problem files behind)
There is a possible solution here but you'll need TWRP again

fpr lock is causing the problem is there a way to turn it off without the phone booting?

man, I have this same issue. Used the stock firmware for 6.0.1 to downgrade from stock 7.0, and now it is stuck in a boot loop with the logo. So I did the Vol Up+Home+power to get into Recovery Mode but now it is just is a boot loop saying "Recovery Booting". Using Odin 3.12.3 , S7, first only AP file... then tried AP + CSC (not Home_CSC) and same issue.
I can still get to Download mode. Shows Official for the firmwares. Warranty Void 0x0 , and FAP Lock ON
---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 PM ----------
I just noticed that while the original instructions I found said only to use AP and then this thread said AP+CSC , that ODIN 3.12.3 says to do BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC , so I did that... and it worked!
---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------
what?!?! It is asking for my password to decrypt device, so I put in my password. And it's NOT taking that as the password!

Well apparently all instructions are a mashup. So then I research this issue and I need to do a factor Wipe, which is fine. I just wish I had found 1 full set of working instructions for downgrading. But it worked and I am not on stock 6.0.1 for my T-mobile S7. Still shows Official for the firmware, Warranty Void 0x0 , FAP lock ON.

Just flash the whole stock rom and your problem should be fixed. You will loose your non-backed up data but its an small price to pay.
Download an stock rom for Your variant (g930f/g930fd/g930a/etcetc one of them) and extract it. Using SamFirm tool is advisable as it"ll allow you to download the firmware really fast.
Then flash using odin 3.12.3 the combo: ap/bt/cp/csc (not the home_csc).

Have you tried this procedure?

1) Download any rom you want.
2) Flash the just the bootloader and reboot.
3) Boot again into download mode and flash the BL (again)+AP. You can also flash the CSC and CP in this step.
4) The phone will reboot and go to recovery mode (the stock one) and perform the system update.
5) After the system update the phone will reboot. If you get stuck in a bootloop, boot again to recovery mode and do a factory reset (If you can't get to the recovery menu at the first try reboot the phone again into recovery until it lets you use the recovery menu).

Galaxy S7 system formatted ... brick issue

Hello there guys,
I write in this new thread because i have a huge problem with my samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930f. Actually I had rooted it with twrp and magisk (and it worked) but when i restarted the twrp recovery i always had the 0mb internal storage issue. So i tried many things to fix this but didn't work, until i followed a tutorial that ruined everything. Well .. the mistake is all mine because the tutorial stated to reformat cache and data and i did it with system too. Now my galaxy s7 doesn't boot anymore, it is stuck on the booting screen where it is written "Samsung Galaxy S7". In TWRP it is said my S7 doesn't have any operating system anymore and i can't flash anything with odin, it gets stuck at "Setting Partition". The only thing i can flash with Odin is TWRP and it doesn't help ... When i try to flash the stock rom with twrp installed, it says "Pass", the flash lasts 3 seconds and it doesn't change anything so i can bearly believe this works. I didn't find anything on the web so i hope you will help me.
Punch it.
PS : TWRP version is 3.2.3.0

Download the latest firmware files from updato or sammobile, install drivers then try again once more. Still of it is unsuccessful, boot into twrp and flash a custom rom.

put your phone into Download mode and Boot OEM rom via odin.

I had similar problem when was goin back from Oreo to Nougat.
By using TWRP i accidentally wiped full partition so I had to boot oem rom using odin.
But even odin couldnt do it.
Had FAIL message just before the end of the loading rom into the phone.
Then accidentally I plugget out the phone from laptop and got blue screen with big triangle on it saying to use windows smart switch to emergency recovery the partition.
I turned the phone off using power +vol- buttons and just after screen went off and before the vibra I pressed pwr+vol up+home to go into "odin download mode"
Try it, I dont think it will do more damage but it might help.

Note 10.1 GT-n8010 stuck in bootloop, no recovery mode, unable to flash stock ROM

Hey there,
my Note 10.1 GT-n8010 bought in 2012 has been soft bricked for years but here I am giving it another try. Because of that, I have no memory of what software version was on the device, but I know it was rooted. The recovery mode is not working as the android logo with red triangle shows up, but I am able to go into download mode which says that: current binary and system status are both custom. I've tried flashing different stock ROMs from SAMMOBILE, starting with XEO (as it is my region) for 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 , but it didn't work. Every time I get sboot.bin FAIL in odin. I've also tried to install TWRP recovery and to root the device in order to unlock bootloader but then I get recovery.img fail in odin. So my main question is: what is causing sboot.bin to fail? I've read that flashing the most recent ROM usually makes this problem go away, but not in my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

sboot wrong firmware for model or and older bootloader.
You need a rom firmware with the same bootloader.
Bootloader has never been locked.

Could you point me in a direction of how to look for a correct ROM? On sammobile there are only two versions of ROMS for my region - 4.4.2 and 4.1.2 and none of them worked. Should I go through every possible region and hope for the best? How do I know that a ROM has the same bootloader? Since I can't turn on the device and find out the specifications of my system, is this just a guessing game? Thanks for taking the time to help me, by the way.

Was the Note purchased in your region ??
I would start with the oldest firmware any region a nd work through them.
Just make sure 16 or 32 gb is as your model.
Sammobile.
Updato.com.
Samsung-updates.
Are firmware sources.

I am also unable to revive my N8000, I can only go in download mode to flash.
Could you tell me when flashing a recovery with odin if the bootloader version matter ? I don't get that ? for me recovery are self loading no ?

No and no.
Suggest flash stock rom via Odin .

Sauces, my name is Caterina and I too have a problem with my Galaxy note 10.1 and looking for solutions on the internet I came to your forum. I hope you can help me. Let me explain: my tablet, while I was using it, froze without a reason and a few seconds later it restarted, remaining stuck on the word "samsung". You can't turn it off because if I press "power" it restarts. The only way to turn it off is to attach it to the charger. It does not go into recovery mode but only in odin mode. I tried to install a firmware download with SamFirm but it doesn't work. I tried with "dr. Phone" and nothing; with "reiboot for android" and nothing; I tried to install adb but if I type adb devices on the promt it doesn't find me the tablet despite the drivers are correctly installed (in fact odin if I connect in tablet via usb I recognize it). Usb debug is not active nor can I activate it since I cannot log in. The tablet is connected as an MTP. The twrp doesn't let me install it (I downloaded it from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/orig-development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-t3895276/ page4) but I didn't even understand what to do exactly. I downloaded the * .tar.md5 file and changed the extension to * .tar but nothing; I inserted the * .tar file in "AP"; I downloaded the img iso file but I don't know where to put it. I'm desperate. Help me to solve. One last thing, it's not possible to download the firmware from sammobile because you need a premium account and it's not the I. If any of you can download it could you alleviate it? Thanks in advance.

Install TWRP 2.8 * from TWRP thread or twrp.me .
Or try Philz recovery from this forum .

Hi and thanks for checking with me. I tried twrp 2.8.6.0 downloaded from twrp.me. I also tried previous versions for the GT-N8000 but to no avail. Clearly, since the models gt-n8010 and n8013 are not compatible with mine, is it possible to try the twrp for the p4notewifi or would I send the tablet in brik? Could you please send me the link to the recovery philiz please? However I also tried CF-auto-root and nothing. I state that I have never developed the root before and not so without root permissions I can share a non samsung firmware. Maybe that's why the recovery has been modified, not so. In any case, if there was a way to root now I would do it. I only care about saving the tablet and making it work.
This is after used twrp-2.8.6.0-gt-n8000.tar

However with the original firmware downloaded with both Samfirm and Samobile the error is sboot.ini fail. The versions of odin I tried are 3.13; 3.09 and 1.85.

Help me!!!!

Sboot fail is due to flashing a firmware that has older bootloader than the one on the tablet.
Flash later firmware.
Try latest firmware.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/guide-t2345831
Usual rule of thumb with Odin is try another USB cable and ports on your computer. Normally the ones off the back side of a laptop/computer are the best to use since they are right off the motherboard. Odin is 100% connection sensitive. Always has been.

Hi JJEgan, I tried them all but I just can't bypass the boot problem that prevents me from flashing firmware with odin. I wanted to try with the pit but since I know it could damage my tablet I wanted to know from you a site where to download a functional pit, suitable for my galaxy note gt-n8000. On the internet I found several but we know several versions: 4.04, 4.12 etc. and I don't know if it should match the pit version with the version of the rom I'm going to download. If I download the Italian Rom (since I am Italian) will I have to use an Italian pit or if the pit is of a given nationality, will the Rom also be of the same nationality? In odin, if I put the pit and pda, do I have to tick only the auto reboot and F. reset time boxes or even the re-partition box? Generally I know that the re-partition should never be selected but I read (but I'm not sure) that the inclusion of the pit involves selecting the distribution. Waiting for you to reply cordially.

No idea sorry PITs are model and 16 or 32 gb not countries .
I dont know about flashing PIT ,
But all questions have beeen answered already in the forum .
PIT is part of the firmware .

Mine is a 16GB model. I found several pits but I didn't understand how to use them and, since the procedure is risky, I wanted to be sure to flash the right one and to operate correctly. Don't you know how to address me to some page where they talk about it? But do you think my tablet is recoverable? Believe me, it seems to me that whatever I do is not successful. Yet I thought that in the case of soft bricks something could still be done but I'm starting to lose hope. In any case, thank you for your time and wish you a good day.

Don't you know how to address me to some page where they talk about it
No sorry apart from the forums SEARCH .

Looks like Odin cannot write the recovery, this leads me to assume that this is a faulty MMC which seems to be a rather common issue. I don't think that this is a recoverable issue unless you solder a new MMC.
For the recovery part, try this:
1) turn on the tablet
2) wait for a reboot
3) immediately after the screen goes black, press and hold power only, you will see the logo come up and then vanish quicker than before
5) as soon as it vanishes, release power and immediately press and hold it again and also press and hold volume up at the same time
6) after the Samsung logo appears again, release the power key but not the volume up
I found this to sometimes help with a boot loop. If this does not work, you are probably out of luck. The Samsung logo disappearing basically tells you that the partition (either boot or recovery) could not be loaded into RAM for the kernel to be started. The BL2 then panics and restarts the device.

Samsung Galaxy Core 2 (SM-G355M) - Recovery mode does not work.

Helo! I'm new here at FORUM. In a desperate attempt I decided to create an account here and try to solve my problem with a Samsung device.
It all started when I received a Samsung Galaxy Core 2 device to fix. It is stuck on the Samsung screen and does not start the system. I first tried to install the original ROM of the device with the correct binary through the Sammobile website using the Odin3 program. I tested about 4 different ROMS, but none of them worked.
After unsuccessfully trying to install the ROM I decided to restore the device using Hard Reset mode by pressing the correct key combination. And this is where I came across a very worrying problem. The correct options would be to show the Recovery options on the device's screen, but on this device they do not appear. The only thing that appears is the Android symbol with a red exclamation symbol. This screen appears for 3 seconds only ... after that the system restarts and returns to the Samsung screen again.
I've been trying to find a solution to this problem for a week and so far I haven't found anything.
I installed several features through Download Mode, but none of them were recognized by the system (All features were compatible with the model). Some of these features were Custom Recovery ... TWRP ... CWM .. Custom ROMS ... etc. I installed all of them through Odin3, but after the process was over and the phone restarted it didn't install because it jumped straight to the Samsung screen again.
Since no option on the Hard Reset screen was showing up, I decided to press a few keys at random to try to access an option. After a few attempts I finally managed to see some information. Now I come across written information: '' E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument) '' https://ibb.co/FmBtv10 (Error Image).
And this is where it gets worse, because I don't know what that means. The only things I have left on the device is that message and nothing more. There are no more options to access.
I hope this device has a solution. I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this. Thanks for reading.

When flashing your firmware using odin, try ticking nand erase. Nand erase erases boot
kernel
recovery
system
data
cache
.android_secure
datadata
wimax
efs
preload.
This should solve your mounting problem

Thank you for your attention in answering my question.
I checked the box that says '' Nand Erase All ''. After the Firmware was installed the phone restarted to the Samsung screen again .... so I think it didn't work. Correct would be to restart with the Android logo, correct?
I tried to mark the other options as well ... such as '' Phone Bootloader Update '' ... '' Phone EFS Clear '', but none of them worked. The biggest problem is the reboot, because the files are not being loaded by the system to be installed .... when Odin restarts the cell phone it goes straight to the Samsung screen and from there it keeps loading forever.
Am I using the wrong USB cable or is a PC feature missing? I use a Samsung cable and the Drivers are installed on Windows. Samsung driver version is 1.5.61.0.
I'll be waiting for another suggestion.

When flashing TWRP through odin, untick auto reboot, hold power Volume down and home button. You will see a black screen. Then immediately press power volume up home button. Then flash a custom rom. You ticked the bootloader update option, but Samsung core 2 doesn't have bootloader. Hope the nand erase fixed the mounting

Before I do this procedure I need to ask a few questions. Do I need any requirements to install TWRP? This phone has no ROOT and no other modifications.
Does the ROM that I am going to install need to be compatible with TWRP? I am trying to install an official Samsung ROM without modification.
I will try to use the version for the SM-G355H. The TWRP for this model is hard to find.
Just remembering that my recovery screen is dead, so I don't have access to anything in the device's Recovery options. I look forward to new answers so I can continue.

1. You need no requirements to flash twrp
2. Every rom for your device is compatible.
Just a few questions,
After nand erase and firmware flash, do you still have a corrupted recovery?
Does the firmware that you are flashing, and the model number in Odin mode match?

I followed those instructions you sent me. I used a TWRP file for the model SM-G355H (I hope it is compatible with this model). The file is called '' recovery.tar.md5 ''. I opened Odin Version 3.0.9 and deactivated the '' Auto Reboot '' option. I passed the TWRP file to the cell phone and did the commands you sent me. The phone restarts with a brief Android screen for 3 seconds and disappears. There are no commands to do. It goes to the Samsung screen again. So I think it didn't work for me.
I hit the keys the same way you told me to (I hope Lol)
You told me to install the custom rom. Is this done after installing TWRP and the phone restarts?

Answering your first question: If you are referring to the error '' E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument) '' yes. It appears after I press the volume button up or down as soon as the android screen appears (The recovery screen that appears only the symbol of the android lying with a red sign). I wish I could access this screen for a longer time, but it disappears quickly.
Answering your second question: I am using an official 4-part ROM. It corresponds to my country. SM-G355M G355MUBU0AQB1 ZTO G355MZTO0AQB1 OPEN BR ANDROID 4.4.2 FULL FLASH. The version of my Odin is 3.0.9. I heard that this version is the best for installing Android 4.4.2 KitKat systems, so I decided to use it.
Just one more question. Does the Cell Phone have to be 100% charged for this to work? I think I was at 60% when I tried the procedure.
Sorry for asking so many questions. I have little knowledge of the subject. If you can send me a tutorial on the internet in video or written so I can save your time feel free to send me. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help me. I figured you were busy these days, so I left a message for you to see and remember POST.
I had seen this video on Youtube before, but I saw it again and followed all the steps. I used the two versions of the TWRP for the model SM-G355HN and G355H through the link you sent me, but neither of them is being recognized by the device. I tested other different CWM versions like:
philz_touch_5.15.0-n7100.tar
philz_touch_6.09.6-n8020.tar
philz_touch_6.57.9-ghost
All of them were not recognized and loaded in recovery mode.
I was confused by a specific part of the video. After the STOCK ROM was sent by Odin, the phone restarts. (At that moment there was a cut in the video). I couldn't see what he did, but I decided it was just to turn the device off and on again in download mode to pass the CWM/TWRP.
Is it possible that the system is blocking the files that I am sending? Maybe an FRP lock? I don't know much about the android system, but I suspect that the device's BIOS does not accept any features via download mode. FRP Lock is for Android from 5.0, correct? My Android is 4.4.2 KitKat.
I have already used the main versions of Odin, including the modified versions. I used about 5 different STOCK ROMS and about 10 different versions of TWRP and CWM. Nothing works! I'm getting upset. : (
I'm running out of options. If you have any more suggestions feel free to answer me. Don't be in a hurry ... answer when you can.
Thanks!

One this is certain, FRP can't make any difference. In the video, after the flashing is complete, he immediately turned the phone back in download mode and flashed the custom recovery. As no reocvey works, extract your recovery.img from your firmware and use this one click TWRP porting tool. You will have mount pint issues, but just follow the above video if you are able to successfully able to boot the twrp you ported with this tool https://firmwarecare.com/spreadtrum-auto-twrp-recovery-porter-v1-2

Thank you for sending the tool. This version does not support Android 4 KitKat. I downloaded version 1.0 (Version 1.0 supports Android 4). I used 3 Recovery.img files from 3 different STOCK ROMS and came across this error on Odin:

The versions used were 3.06 - 3.09 - 3.10.6 - 3.11.1 - 3.14.1 3B Patched. I converted Recovery to .tar and .md5, but none of them work. I even tried to use Recovery Original to ensure that the problem was not the conversion, but the original file did not give errors by Odin, so I ruled out the possibility of being the conversion.
I would like to mention something from the video above: His screen in Download mode describes the ROM as Custom. After he passes the FIRMWARE through Odin the information changes to Samsung Official. My information is not Custom ... it is Samsung Official, so I wouldn't know if the transfer was successful or not.
Would it work if I switched to Custom and then went back to Official again? (I'm just speculating. I don't know if that is valid or not.)
Could you answer some questions? There are doubts about the device and the recovery mode.
1 - Why doesn't my recovery screen give me options to access it ? (Just the error message)
2 - Why when I pass any FIRMWARE through Odin and the phone restarts, no process is done for the ROM to be installed normally?
3 - The recovery screen appears for 5 seconds only ... after that the phone restarts again. This is normal ?
4 - Is there any possibility that the system is blocking by default any modification made by Odin by installing FIRMARES or customized recoveries? (This would explain why the phone does not install anything.)
5 - Is it possible to correct the error '' E: failed to mount / efs (invalid argument) '' by passing the original Efs..tar.md5 file?
6 - What is the best version of Odin to install Android 4.4.2 KitKat systems?
Grateful!

Try switching to custom and then official.
1) actually, if there is something wrong with just the /efs partition, it shouldn't affect the recovery
2) looks like many partitions are corrupted
4) core 2 has no bootloader or any such protection to stop flashing
5) the efs file is included in the firmware, so it is flashed with the firmware.
Conclusion - looks like multiple partions are corrupted. Try to verify this by flashing any custom recovery or rom and check the status in Odin. Even after flashing a custom recovery, the status is stock, then there are definitely many corrupted partitions. If it's so, fixing it will be very tough

I will do as much as I can. Tomorrow I will contact you to say if something worked. If nothing goes well I will need to take the device for specialized maintenance. Thanks for the help, buddy. If I ever manage to solve this problem I will make a guide in FORUM showing how to fix it and give you the credits.

Try switching to custom and then official.
1) actually, if there is something wrong with just the /efs partition, it shouldn't affect the recovery
2) looks like many partitions are corrupted
4) core 2 has no bootloader or any such protection to stop flashing
5) the efs file is included in the firmware, so it is flashed with the firmware.
Conclusion - looks like multiple partions are corrupted. Try to verify this by flashing any custom recovery or rom and check the status in Odin. Even after flashing a custom recovery, the status is stock, then there are definitely many corrupted partitions. If it's so, fixing it will be very tough

Unfortunately nothing went right, friend. I tested everything I could. I have no other options left. All the procedures were done, I followed all your suggestions, but nothing works. There is no doubt that all partitions are corrupted. You told me it would be very difficult to fix it, so I'm not even going to try. I did as much as I could with this device. I am not qualified for this, I am just a lay person who is trying to solve a complex problem.
If you think I can do this from home with some tool, tell me. If it’s too complex I’ll take it to a maintenance specialist.
Just one more question: I don't know which ROM has been installed on this device previously and which Binary of FIRMWARE. Will the Device only accept a FIRMWARE that has exactly the '' Same '' binary? For example ... I have a ROM with the PDA binary G355MUBS0AQC2 .... Will the System only accept exactly this value so that it can be installed?
I forgot to ask this at the beginning.

Sorry, I have no knowledge of using tools or fixing a device by repairing the hardware. Using the wrong binary doesn't make a difference on these older devices.
