I flashed the stock rom back from the poitee kernel and now every time i boot i get stuck at the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen. When i go into cw to try to reflash another rom, it says i have nothing on my tab. how do i fix this or how do i transfer a new rom to my tab without it booting up?
been in the same situation, poitee's kernel is still raw, tab not detected in usb, not charging when off etc. Reinstalling another custom kernel may help, but i recommend restoring from a previous backup or re-flashing a stock rom. There's a backup by pershoot available in droidbasement or try searching under threads "reflash to stock"! Just flashing boot.img is no use as wifi/bluetooth modules have been redirected hence won't run unless a re-flash to stock.
how do i transfer a stock img to the tab when i cant even boot?
You CAN enter download(odin) mode right! (power plus volume down(left) when boots leave power while still pressing volumekey choose right image)! Flash a stock rom from odin.
yes thats what ive been trying to do for like 30 minutes now. it gets to maybe 1/8th of the way done and stops.
ive been trying this

Finally able to get it to pass in odin. tab still just boots to samsung galaxy tab 10.1 and sits there. This time though, every 20 seconds or so, it vibrates quickly 4 times
Flash a stock rom from odin! unselect repartition, try the [stock][euro][touchwiz] rom in developers section, posted by me! Its stock hence will definitely pull you out. Follow the instructions there! Just follow the guidelines....last night i was in the same shoes, the stock pulled me out. The rom from referred post by you, is not pure stock and is rooted hence interfering with boot!

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have searched this forum but could not find a similar situation to what I ended up in...
I tried to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the CWM/Odin.
This seemed succesful but was not, it did not start but was stuck in the Samsung logo.
So I tried entering the CWM and download and install an original Samsung ROM. I can get it into CWM, but CWM cannot enter the download mode only the other mode.
In this mode all options are available:
- reboot
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
All options have been tried without any luck. In the update from SD card it only shows ...
or Error opening /data/media: no such file or directory
Any ideas how I could get this directory back or put a ROM on the Samsung in this situation.
Odin does see the Galaxy but as I cannot get it into Download mode I am unable to download anything to it.
All or any suggestions are very welcome!
1. CWM (Clockworkmod) =! Odin.
In the beginning, you don't have CWM installed. You install CWM, by flashing CWM on your Phone with odin.
Odin is the Windows Programm, that is used to flash Recoveries/ROM's/Kernels onto your device.
2. it seems, that you still have the default Samsung recovery installed, that meand CWM is not yet flashed on your device.
If the flashing process was succesful (I suppose it was done with odin), but you can't get past the Samsung logo, that means, you probably flashed a rom, that isn't made for your device(ex. a GTab 10.1v Rom).
If you DID flash a wrong rom, then you probably ****ed up the partition table and removed the Download Mode(Odin Mode). Strange thing is, that you still have the Stock recovery.
Could you please redirect us to the rom you downloaded?
Also, did you flash with a repartition on and/or a .pit file?
hi Kaukassus,
thanks for the reply.
OK I checked the files and what I did.
I think I totaly screwed this up. It was a theme I tried to install the AOSP_HC_v1.3_3G+KI1.
I rooted the Tab. So first when the Tab was still functioning installed it on the TAB via USB.
Than tried to install this via update from SD card.
This appeared to work initially. But hung at the start.
After that I tried (via Power Volume Up) wipe data/factory reset.
No luck.
After that I tried wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset.
And this is what I got now..
Bad news is the Tab was/is a X-mas present and I managed to screw it up even before I officially got it !-(
The valuable lesson you're learning is that you need to be aware exactly what things you're flashing and their compatibility with your device and the software it's running.
You haven't mentioned what specific device you're using or the specific things you've tried to flash (as kaukassus pointed out, direct links to threads where you got the files you tried to flash are best). Not sure if you're aware but not all GT 10.1's are equal; there are several models out there and each and every ROM is specific to a particular device. Verizon LTE GT 10.1's like mine can't take ROMs from any other device for example, it's likely that the new T-Mobile 4G one's wont be able to trade ROMs with Verizon ones . . you get the point.
When you say you installed via USB what exactly did you mean? If you simply copied a zip file via USB to the tab to flash in recovery mode that's not installing; the flashing from recovery may be but the file copy operation is not. If on the other hand you pushed things via ADB or you flash using Odin software then that's a different story.
Best thing to do at this point is to properly identify your device, look for a stock recovery image for Odin and flash that via Odin to your device. At that point you can start from scratch again to build what you want.
Thanks Muzzy996.
You are right. I was in a rush and should have taken more time.
However I am getting somewhere. Managed to get in download mode twice today, don't ask me how. This Tab just will not go into download mode!
However I did not have the stock ROM ready to be installed.
Will keep you updated.
i have the same problem. i just rooted my device was going to overclock. decided to save my rom with rom manager. saved it device went to reboot now the samsung galaxy 10.1 shows up screen goes dim then shuts off, and will cont. do this. i can get into download mode but recovery will not work. is there anyway to download my stock rom. im using verizion 4g 10.1 any help would be great, btw sorry to thread jack
Problem solved.
Managed to get it in download mode again and install stock rom via Odin.
Appeared to work fine. But kep switching off, even after full night of charging.
This morning Tab was dead after recharging whole night..
Got it back on by holding volume down and power button down.
i found a stock rom and im trying to upload it via odin, however odin does not find my tab? any ideas. btw congrats on getting ur tab back
I crashed both my I9000 (galaxy s) flashing custom roms and my tab 10.1 (editing some system files) both ended up just looping but managed to get both back. I purchased a small connector of ebay £1.59 that has just a resistor accross pins 4&5 331k I think anyway plugging this into most samsung devices boots them into download mode. Even before getting my resistor I managed to get things working I think that you'd have to be properly unlucky to really brick a samsung I've flashed both my devices with all sorts of crap with my little resistor I just reset them with ease.

did you ever resolve this issue? i am currently faced with the same issue.
Nevermind, I just flashed CMW recovery with odin and I was able to get into recovery mode and do a hard reset. It booted fine now. Phew.
Hi guys,
Is there any hope for my tab (Wifi US ver)?
Long story short, I thought my tab was soft bricked so I tried to flash a stock rom with Odin and it's now looping in the "manual mode: copying common apks", it would freeze there then the Samsung logo would load and it would go back to manual mode and the whole thing loops like this.
I can still get into download mode, but recovery mode loops with the copying apk thing.
Any help or input would be much appreciated. Thanks!
If you can still get into download mode, then find a proper firmware (my advice is www.sammobile.com), and give it another go.. Then root, cwm and try to restore the android again, though it might be corrupted so that's why you got into problems... Anyway, if download mode works it's ok!
EDIT: imo, maybe it should be best to flash with a pit file, so that everything, including /sdcard will be wiped, but you will loose everything (photos, music, etc).
Sent from my amazing 10.1 galaxy tab
A pit file and repartitioning was actually an option I looked into while doing some research, but I'm not sure where I would find a pit file.
I did do a factory reset+clean wipe and flashed a new rom and everything appears to be fine. I think the problem may have been due to Pershoot's new kernal for ICS considering my tab froze after I flashed it, and the ROM flashed after also had a similar kernal as well, and that also froze my tab at boot animation.
But yeah, I'll definitely find a pit file just in case this happens again. Thanks
i have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi p7510 and i am having a issue with odin getting stuck on the boot.img file when tring to fix tablet. to give a little background i have just recently picked up tab and when i got it it was running cwm recovery 5.8.3.1 and also had cyanogenmod 10.1. i was having alot of issues with it and when i bought it the guy said he had the stock rom backup in cwm so i i deleted the cyan mod and tried to use backup of stock rom and cwm finished and i rebooted and got stuck in the tab logo screen so apparently the backup was bad and now i have no recovery option. so now i am trying to use odin 1.85 to put the stock rom back on the tab and everytime i try it stops on the boot.img file and never goes any further no matter how long i wait. i am using the oem samsung cable i have tried letting the battery fully drain then go straight into download mode but everytime i try it gets stuck on boot.img. i am lost on what i am doing wrong so any help would be appreciated.

If you can get to download mode flash back to stock and start again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
Also be sure to read the thread entropy links to:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
If you can get into the download mode, use odin to flash Clockwork back.
Something I flashed once messed up the recovery partition, but once I flashed clockwork back,
I was able to restore my phone from a back up.
I was being a total dumbf**k yesterday and screwing with my Galaxy Player 5.0 to install Lollipop. I installed it, but I couldn't install Gapps, so I used ODIN tonight to attempt to restore it. Problem was, I installed the kernel in the Bootloader section, not the PDA section. I finally ended up installing it, however the boot animation is endless now. It only plays the sound at first bootup, then it shows the normal boot screen endlessly. Anyone help me as a stupid guy doing stupid things?
EDIT: I just installed Entropy's Daily kernel over it, however that did nothing. Also, I can not get to recovery AT ALL. In fact, I'm holding the button combo right now!
Can you access the Bootloader Menu on your YP - G70 ('DOWNLOAD Mode')?

You need to boot into download mode then flash the stock ROM with odin.
Then boot into recovery mode and do a factory data reset and cache wipe.
If it still does not work try flashing the stock ROM with the pit file.
Both the ROM and pit file can be found here:

When you flash the stock ROM, wait until you get to endless boot, then power off your device. Hold Up+Power until you see the Samsung logo. Go to Wipe data/factory reset, wipe, then restart your device. It's because the partitions aren't formatted, so no temporary data can be stored on the /data partition until you factory reset and it formats /data and /cache.
