Hi all,
I have a problem which i hope you guys can solve.
My problem: I have my galaxy tab 10.1v now for some months, and i rooted and put i custom rom on it which i got from this forum.
Now i want to Factory reset my tablet but the option in the menu->privacy->factory reset button is gray and won't do anything when i press on it.
I did read about the option to do it when i restart the tab and then hold the buttons. but that won't do it to.
Do you guys know any other reason to factory reset my tablet??

You can restore factory settings via CWM, i think.
But whats the problem that makes you wana do this. .?
Then i think youd better flash stock rom...
Send from my rooted 10.1v
well that is what i tried to. i installed Rom manager. and i wanted to boot it into clockword, but nothing happend ( even after i tried it for 4 times). And the strange thing is, if i want to use a different item from rom manager, it says that i does not have permissin, though i have root.

The no permission part...have you got the premium version?
You must have premium for some options.
As for not coming into cwm, try to flash cwm with rom manager.
Then reboot in cwm via rom manager....
Let me know if it worked
Send from my rooted 10.1v
well i tried that to , but when he almost finished it gives an error saying:
an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!

hahaha, now i have another problem..
I opend superuser app,, and after the rom manager and now it workd. so i opent clockwork, did a factory rest. But now it loops the logon. so when i turn the tab on, i see the text Galaxy tab 10.1v, and the unlock lock (at the bottum of the screen) and then the screen goes black en do it again, and again...
I think your best option is to flash chainfires rom, that is if you can get in download mode....

okay, so I bought a basically brand new galaxy tablet 10.1 today, and rooted it using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
no problems whatsoever, re-booted and everything seemed fine. I then tried to install BigDX Xoom|Zoom Theme and the **** hit the fan...
it would load my lock screen, but instead of a lock it had a TINY picture of a little grey lock inside of a grey square, if i tapped it and then tried to slide it "it wouldn't just slide" I would get an error message and then the tablet would freeze and restart. if I didn't touch the lock it would just keep restarting about every 45 seconds. I went back into ClockworkMod Recovery and did the factory reset "maybe a mistake?" it asks me to select my region but then gives me an error message and keeps restarting. can I just restore original firmware through odin or something like that? I'm not much of a hacker, just occasional customization stuff.
please help me... I never even got to use my tablet, this was the very first thing that I did

Did you make a backup before you flashed it?
You can also download a stock firmware from www.sammobile.com and flash through Odin if you didn't

I didn't really know about backing it up before I did it... ... so I guess next time I should root > backup using the same recovery clock screen "volume buttons"> and then as long as I don't completely brick it restore from that?
I'll try re-flashing through odin. what do you think happened? no one else seemed to have a problem with that theme, and I really like the way it looks.
also I'm kind of confused by that site... which firmware do I need?
What device do you own and where are you from? Need english based rom?
Fingertyped on Samsung galaxy tab 10.1" 32GB WiFi
If you just bought it and don't care about your data, just odin back to stock. For instructions, here's a video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYBs98R9rTs and here's a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474971 look at the second half of the first post.
Recently i tried to install firmware on my Galaxy tab 10.1, but it resulted in a bootloop, and now i am on the samsung screen. I tried to install the firmware with mobil Odin. The firmware i used is P7510XEULPH_P7510XXLPH_HOME.tar. I dont know what to do to get my tab working again, because when i try to boot into the recovery, i get the flicker screen.
If anybody could help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you soft brick your tab. Looks like your gonna need to whip out the PC and find PC version ODIN even though the screen stuck on flicker it will still connect well at least it did when I soft bricked my SGS 2. Well good luck guy I knw I had a few days of fun when I was trying to fix mine.
Oh ya one more important thing check in your device form in Q & A Chechen sticky always a lot of useful stuff or might even find a quick fix from fellow XDA fanatic like me.

Not sure if you are still stuck, but if you boot into recovery and then clear cache and user data it stopped the boot looping for me...

In theory you can switch off the tab and plug it to charge. It should charge as you do not hard brick it. If you can slash your tab via Odin, try to flash it two times, one by one not letting it to boot android and samsung logo after the first flash. After the second flash, reboot and hold the volume - button till you get into stock recovery mode. then wipe data and wipe cash. then reboot again.
Hi,
I have the exact same problem as some of the other bootlooped/bricked Galaxy S3's, i was on a custom samsung 4.1.2 rom for about a month and while browsing the net today it crashed went in bootloop now i cant get out, went into cwm recovery mode and factory reseted but didnt do anything.
The problem now is i cant go back into clockwork mod at all, so i went into download mode by pressing power + voloume down and menu button and went into download mode and opened odin flashed a stock rom, however it just keeps saying fail after nand write.
I now tried a custom rom and the same issue occurs and it fails, now when i pull the battery out and turn it back on all i get is a error message saying 'firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again' can somebody please helppppp me i literally have no phone at use at the moment!
Thanksssss :highfive:

If you have a jig you might be able to bring it back to life and get in downloadmode and retry flashing a stock rom again. Pull the battery for a minute, reinsert it and use a jig. If you don`t have one try to buy one. Good luck
factory reset is your only way
yes a reply!

It's only 2pm here in Cali, I'll be trying all night. Plan b is to send it into Mobiletechvideos, they do international shipping too, 5 star rating. But in the mean time, I'm going to do some ODIN trouble shooting, maybe try the Mac OSX alternative, Heimdall, and see if I can get it to connect.

I relate to you guys for that's exactly the same problem I'm going through. After successfully updated to the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 UK BTU international version and beautifully restored all my apps via Titanium backup I then proceeded to restore as well my EFS folder through a program named kTool, ignoring its warning message cuz I was just following a tutorial put out on a S3 Brazilian forum believing there was no danger at all.
Well, to my sadness and despair it returned on a bootlooping mode, if you will, and I did everything firstly tried to recover then wiped cache, dalvik, data, formatted the whole stuff and finally installed again via odin in download mode the same jelly bean 4.1.2 all to no avail
Now I got the bootlooping and when I press volume up + power + home I get a screen with a seemingly dead robot with a exclamation sign in its chest. Please what do I do in order to fully recover my S3?? this situation is killing me.

Dude, I've watched that vid but haven't tried that procedure so far, matter of fact I will do that however flashing an earlier version of the ROM, perhaps JB 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 or yet the current one from another country since the UK BTU version I downloaded was somehow corrupted. Anyhow thanks for the heads up to avoid factory reset and reboot it instead, hopefully I'm going to manage to get the CWM recovery screen cuz now I get only this:
Android system recovey <S3>
Volume up/down to move to highlight:
power button to select.
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
Apply update fom external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Right below it appears, along with the fallen/dead robot, the folowing message:

Alright, so I myself am a Motorola guy myself, but I do have some experience with Samsung..
You don't really have that many options here. If you were able to get into cwm, then by all means you could recover all of your data. But really, all you can do here is restore with odin. You're pretty much out of luck. Sorry
Please be patient,& Gentle with me, I'm new here,,, (TY) Hi, I have a Pantech P9060 (old I know ) Android 2.3.4 , Gingerbread( Stock Rom). It's rooted. It will turn on, load in the boot screen- and stop there, and if I touch the power/menu keys, it will start the loop acting boot process, without re-starting the phone , just continuous boot screen. I have changed the boot screen probably 3/4 times from the original AT&T screen using Jimmy Rummel apps, Rom Installer . I've tried returning back from backup, Titanium Pro, I backed up to google drive as well, but regardless I can't seem to reset to factory( which I've done before), or even update, Nothing.. It's so frustrating. I've searched these forums inside out for a solution as to not bother you guys with my old phone issues, but I have to admit, I need help with this. I don't think it's hard bricked, I'm thinking I may have flashed the wrong Rom( im not sure though) trying to upgrade from 2.3.4 .. Not positive though. I sure hope there's someone to help me here, It wont connect to the PC syncing, Pantech PC Suite, yet my pc shows the phone in Device Manager and Computer. So I'm hoping I've done something simple, :/ stupid,,but simple. Anyone help me out ? Rooted Apps & System info/apps on my phone are in a File Manager > xposed, bootmanager, clockworkmod, rom mod installer pro, Titanium Pro, and others...Can it someway be just flashed to a new rom of some version? :crying: Thanks in advance.......

Don't think that there are any custom updates. I found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IOQJJCSKC4 - Sorry it's not in English, but it's the only thing I found that actually had a download of the rom. Even Pantech doesn't seem to have anything besides the manual and drivers for it.

If the device powers up but is not able to boot into the operating system, that is referred to as a soft brick.
