Samsung Tab 2 GT-P3100 bootloop and odin fail.

My TAB 2 7.0 was not rooted and was in the bootloop all of a sudden. The issue is when it reboots, it lets me enter lock screen password and when I try to use something - It reboots. I tried to do the Clear cache partition and Factory Reset from android boot menu (power + volume up button) which says that DATA WIPE COMPLETE but when I reboot the tab nothing changes, not even the WIFI connections and their passwords. The WiFi remains on and connected to my router.
I deleted those connection from Settings but again it reboots and all deleted wifi connections (which were successfully deleted) are back with their passwords.
I also tried RESET DEVICE from settings, it asked me for my password but when i entered it and tapped on reset my device option - BOOM! it reboots again without resetting.
I searched a lot on net and tried ODIN option with proper firmware but of no use. And most importantly, I did visit authorized service centre before doing any of these, they returned it after trying couple of time to flash it and asked me to change the motherboard(Which would cost me about the price of good android phone - $120).
Can anybody please suggest me any other option than changing the motherboard (which is way much higher than my budget). The option you suggest may be hardware repair or anything else, I may not be able to get it done myself if it is hardware thing but atleast it will help to search the repair option by precisely telling the guy (technician) - what to do?
I have posted this after i saw mentions online about this forum and experts here, I hope you guys help me out as this TABLET is of great use to me.

I never encountered a problem like this before but 2 years screwing with my tab (well bootlooping it with myself) I would suggest rooting it via Odin and Flash TWRP (CWM works too but I prefer TWRP) through odin as well.
After that find a custom ROM, preferably a stable build since you'll be using it for daily use and flash it using TWRP. I would suggest downloading SlimKat or Cyanogen Mod 13 and GAPPS.
You can find a lot of guides (some are step by step) about rooting it through Odin, and flashing TWRP on your tab.
As well as custom ROMS and how to flash it.
Tell me how it goes dude. Goodluck
Edit:
Hmm before flashing custom ROMs, when you try to flash a firmware. Did you make sure that you're using a correct driver for your PC? Samsung Kies does the job but make sure to close Samsung Kies in order to avoid conflicts with Odin. Make sure also to switch your tab to Download Mode when you flash with Odin.

Factory reset but asif nothing happened? I'm sorry but your tab has the dreaded eMMc bug. Only an emmc replacement or a new motherboard can fix it. Sorry.

Dude, firmware flashing was already tried by the technician at the authorised service center, even he couldnt flash it. I tried flashing as you said. But when i went through all the step by step tutorials on flashing or rooting through odin, they all wanted me to turn on the developers options in settings which I can't. Even if i manage to do that, it will just reverse right away after reboot.
The TWRP thing and rooting through odin that you told me are the options left with me. But I am not familiar with all those things so It would be great if you can share any link about the step by step method.

New motherboard is way beyond my budget, so I am left with only one option i.e. eMMC replacement. Is eMMC readily available in the market, if yes then is there any trusted brand or something like that.

Unfortunately, I am not familiar with eMMc replacement although @Android-Andi does have a friend in Austria who can replace/upgrade it for you according to one of his posts.
Although if you ask me, you're better off buying another more recent tablet.

Thanks man. At least now I know what the issue is and what may be the best solution. I am from India so will have to search someone who replaces eMMC here.

It's only 11 screws & 25 bucks (USA) for a motherboard

Can you boot to recovery?
What did you install or modify to cause this issue?
Does the device show in device manager? What is it labelled as in device manager?
Do you have all of the USB drivers for Samsung phones installed?
Did you have USB debugging turned on before this issue started?
Are you using a Samsung official USB cord?
Have you tried connecting to other USB ports on PC while using Odin?
Try 3.0 ports then try 2.0 ports
Are you using the stock firmware for your specific model number and region in Odin?
Are you flashing the same android version that your device came with when you try to flash with Odin, or is what you're flashing older than what you had?

I dont think you understood these 2 questions.
I didn't ask which or how many versions of Odin you used. I asked if the stock firmware that you're flashing is specifically for your model number and region.
I asked if what you are flashing in Odin is the same android version(KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, etc..) as what your device came with?
Or is what you're flashing older or newer than what your device had.

My questions were meant to be answered with yes or no. I did not ask what version your firmware was and I didn't ask for your build number or where you got it from. This answer that you gave me doesn't answer what I asked. I've asked twice now and still haven't gotten the answer I needed. I'm done asking, good luck.

Cannot restore to stock using Mobile Upgrade Q.

Hi! I have a Idol 3 (6045I variant) and everytime I try to restore to stock using Mobile Upgrade Q it gets to the part where it says "Searching the server for latest available software" then the phone turns on normally and it says "Download update software package failed. Please check your internet connection." and it does this on two computers that I have tried with two different upgrade Q versions. Could someone please help me identify the problem?

It seems Alcatel abandoned our device.

Ha, ha...
Look the reason you are getting the message is because you restored your phone once on IP 240.4.4.xx.x.xx.xx. If you use another IP address you would not get that message. So, use a vpn or change you IP or use someone else's internet connection. It has happened to me more then once and was very frustrating as until I figured it out. Go to google and type in "What is my IP address" and start their.
HEY OFF TOPIC but can you believe that XPOSED is finally released for Nougat!!!!

This doesn't seem to be the case because even after using a different internet connections and a vpn it still throws out an error message and after updating to a newer version of upgrade q it says "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" which doesn't make any sense.

Good, it says "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" now do a factory reset of the phone. If you did not destory the recovery partition you should be good to go.

Use this program here ...
https://mega.nz/#!9UdDGJLI!9S87X0wH0OEc3nKSd7dZHCES7RpDW8iWpPnPSqCPLzs (I'm trying to think of how this goes by memory so bare with me)
make sure you have the drivers installed. extract the file and the password is in the txt file. I can't remember the exact steps, but I think it will do some type of update or you go to "get version" if you don't see 6045 in the device list. once it's there you can go to the grey box besides get version that says update or download or something. my brain heh I can't remember, but then you click that and it will bring you back to stock. I did it on my 6045O flawlessly. It brought me right into the latest update. also if you go into the program files and go to the Sugar software folder after it's downloading the latest firmware for your phone and you go to the bin folder you should see a downloaded folder with your model number plus some other numbers and letters. copy that to your desktop. once that's done find the file starting with "R" that is the recovery image. delete that and replace it with twrp recovery image and just name it recovery. go back into the main Sugar folder in the program files and replace the folder with your model number with that folder. you also see a folder named download. that is the downloaded firmware you can delete that folder and just leave the modded folder with your model number containing the twrp recovery image. meanwhile, go through the setup process on your phone and skip all the steps you can and go into the phone. go to the about device and tap on the build number to unlock the developer options. make sure the OEM bootloader unlock is toggled and I just changed the usb debugging also although I don't think that's necessary. go back into the Sugar program and then go to just the update or whatever it is beside the get version and click that and it will update the phone with the latest firmware and it will put the custom recovery on it. make sure once it's done downloading you unplug it and turn it off then go into recovery mode by holding the power down and volume up until the main logo comes up then let go of power and keep holding volume up until twrp boots up. make sure you already have the latest SuperSU zip on your sdcard. go to the terminal or sometimes one comes up from the beginning and enter the systemless supersu line/code or whatever you call it and then hit enter or if it will go straight into twrp first do a factory reset in the advanced wipe tab then the systemless supersu terminal line code and then install the supersu zip. that's it. your back to the latest firmware and rooted. oh and btw, I forgot if you have to be in download mode when you are using the Sugar program. I play around in several phones so forgot at the moment. If you need to go into download mode just plug in the usb as your holding power, volume up and down at the same time and then when it goes into the download mode screen hold volume up for 5-10 seconds until the screen goes black. I hope it helps and sorry if any of this is confusing. It can be a bit advanced for some.

Mobile Q doesnt work here too.
With or Without VPN cant download the update package :/

Press and hold the Volume up button, then briefly press the Power button. Keep pressing the Volume up button. Scroll to the desired language using the Volume down button, then press the Power button. Scroll to wipe data/factory reset by pressing the Volume down button.
Then try to do an update OTA.
If you are running stock and have for the last 6 months or so, their are not any new updates???
Just curious why you would think their is an update??
Also, "There is no greater version available to upgrade your phone" chewyboy0 admitted that Mobile Q software does work because Mobile Q software had to go out to the Alcatel servers to check which version he had.
Finally, Also, you gave no reference of whether you are running stock ROM, Rooted?? TWRP?? or for that matter whether you Samsung Galaxy phone can be plugged into the Mobile Q software. In other words, your coming up a little short on details.

I am running a custom ROM and I wanted to go back to stock for various reasons but I will try one of the methods above.

Currently Alcatel has disabled the posibility of reflashing a stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q, so the only way is by flashing via TWRP or Sahara tool.
I have a 6045Y in latest stock MM (Build 22) and i'm incapable of performing a flash with Mobile Upgrade Q in order to clean my modified /system, the worst thing is that there is no flashable zip of this version which contain many critical fixes. I'm too very annoyed with this change of policy of Alcatel/TCL, they want me to buy a new smatphone but I'll not give them that pleasure, the Idol 3 5.5 is the best smartphone i've ever had in terms of hardware, it's a shame...

Actually, software upgrader can do the job. But the problem was slow server speed. Use q. 5.1.8, simply connect your in switch off condition, and try upgrading, if its not working, try VPN. I tried psyphon VPN connected to USA. In india serveris very slow.
6045k still running on lilopop, thats why people go going for stock roms.

S7 - Update OTA not using wifi

Hi guys,
Just looking for advice/knowledge really - Scowered the net/xda but unable to find a clear answer.
I have a number of devices all on MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPKD and when I try to do software updates, it prompts that I need to connect to WIFI, issue is, I don't have wifi nor the option to tether another phone.
Any advice is appreciated.

It will definitely be safer to post your issue on your device forum
These generic 'fixes' will not work for every phone and may even result in your phone being soft bricked or hard bricked.

what does soft bricked and hard bricked mean, please ?

Where your phone becomes:
1. Useless due to software issues = soft brick but can be fixed
2. Useless due to major hardware failure = hard brick and very difficult to fix or completely dead
The term "brick" is exactly as you'd think - literally like stone

hello,
These two are the most vulnerable things that can happen to an android device.
SOFT-BRICKING:
When your fone gets soft-bricked, it means that the operating system you were going to install has not been installed properly.
Some of the reasons may be :
1. ROM not compatible with your device.
2. Phones battery going down in the middle of a OTA or normal update
3. ROM not properly installed in your device.
The most common things one can observe in a soft bricked fone is BOOT-LOOP
it means your fone boots up, and gets stuck in booting mode.
Assume you own a SONY device , if your fone is stuck in boot loop then, the SONY logo will show up on the screen for some time and the the fone will automatically turn off and after some time it will turn on again repeating the same process.
HARD-BRICKING:
It generally means all the data in your fone is wiped out. This just dosent mean the operating system but also the system used to load the operating system, also called as recovery. Therefore, you will have no way to install your custom OS or ROM. This generally happens when you try flasing ROMS in a mobile device that has a weak recovery system.
One of my friends tried to flash custom ROM in Yu-Yureka and ended up hard-bricking the fone.
If you softbrick a mobile device, you can have the liberty of using softwares like flashing tools to install ROMs and Recoverys and make your fone work.
If you ended up hard-bricking your device, the mobile even wont respond to any physical holding or tapping of the buttons on your phone and all that can be done is getting a good fast wifi connection to do a strong research for your next mobile.
i hope this is helpful for you.

I was having this problem for at least 1 month. Tried everything that is posted in xda forums. Gave up and was using cellular connection, Until I found your post and gave it a shot. Now, my wifi is back to normal , Many thanks to you. You are truly a lifesaver.
I also tried this method before, but it didn't work. Before I was using TWRP recovery. But after flashing with OrangeFox my wifi was fixed.

Edit MAC

Hello! I have a Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad M10 Plus but wifi is not turning on.
There's no MAC address on the wifi interface, but bluetooth is working.
I flashed the original ZUI_13.5.365_ST_220526, TWRP and Magisk.
I'm trying to find a way to hardcode a new MAC address to the wifi card.
Or maybe the persist or modem partitions were bricked by the previous owner?
I was thinking if I flash these partitions from a working device I can get the wifi to work again?
Can someone help me please. Thanks!
