I have a problem with my 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 in that for some reason, while trying to pick up a WiFi signal from my Sky Broadband router (which none of my other WiFi devices has any problems picking up a signal from), the WiFi option seems to be stuck on the "Turning On" message and I don't know how to get it unstuck so that I can pick up a WiFi signal again from any device.
If anybody has any suggestions (I'm already looking at trading it in for a Asus Transformer Pad Infinity) to fix it, I'd be very grateful for them.
I had a similar problem. It occurred after using rom manager to install cwm on stock rooted rom and a factory reset fixed the problem for me, did you try it?

Sorry for the late reply.
I haven't tried it because I didn't know how to back up everything on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to do so.
My problem occured weeks after I installed CWM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1
Also, does anybody else know if there's an alternate way to fix this problem without needing a factory reset?
Try to flash a different kernel. Odin or cwm doesn't matter. And you won't lose data!

Thanks for the advice! What's the best kernel to use as I don't have a custom ROM on my Tab 10.1 because all I did was just root it, nothing more.

But sorry to say it but I don't think you will avoid wipe data. I could be wrong but wiping fixes almost all problems...

I just hope I don't have to do a wipe as it would be a pain in the ass to have to do so (It's stuff like this plus the fact that I'm on my third Galaxy Tab 10.1 due to all the constant problems I've had with them that's making me switch to the Transformer Pad Infinity when it comes out!).
What's the best way of doing a kernel installation with this as I've never done one before? Also, how do I do a complete backup of the device?
I've installed the kernel via CWM after doing a wipe (and I did a backup in ROM Manager as well as via Titanium Backup AND backed up everything possible to my hard drive) and now my device is stuck on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 boot screen! (The one which says "Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1" on it)
Does anybody have any suggestions on how to fix it?
UPDATE: I also can't switch it off using the Power button as well!
Did you flash the correct kernel? There are different kernels for ics and hc and they are different for every device as well. Get into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache.
Since you wiped the data, the best solution is still to go here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=3&o=1#osa.
Download your stock firmware, flash it via odin, root again and restore everything with titanium!

It looks like I used the ICS kernel for the 3G version (which is the version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I have) instead of the HC version by mistake!
In the meantime, should I wait until the battery drains completely and try to recharge it to see if your advice works?
With the backup that I made with Titanium, I take it that's still safe on the device if I can get back into it?
You can flash without draining the tab. Also, everything in your /sdcard (music, videos, cwm backups, etc) don't get wiped. What you loose is only the apps you have installed. Just if you use odin flash only the Rom and not a pit file, as it will COMPLETELY wipe the tab, including sdcard.

I'm just downloading the firmware right now and I was wondering which option in the Files section on Odin do I use to flash the firmware. (Sorry for being such a noob, but it's been quite a while since I've used it to flash a ROM and I can't remember what the option was to do so)
In the meantime, thank you for answering my questions (I'm still going to get me a Asus Transformer Pad Infinity in any case) and showing patience to someone who's had nothing but problems with the device since he got his first one a few months back.
UPDATE: I drained the battery and recharged it, but from the looks of things it's still stuck on the same screen and still won't let me switch it off! It's a shame that I've been having so much with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 even though I've forgiven it for its lack of microSD slot.
Hey no prob. That's the best way I can contribute here for the moment. I am glad that my advices are somewhat useful to you.
Here is a complete guide to restock the tab:
http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/?page_id=5
You don't have to use the provided stock rom, since you are downloading your own! Just skip the pit part, unless you have backed up everything in your hard drive. I don't know the exact options, since I have never used odin for the tab, but it explains it all with screenshots.
I have a small favor to ask. Can you check whether the binary counter will increase after that? In theory it shouldn't be affected, because you flash a stock rom but I would be grateful if you could tell me what happens.
Yeah, the only thing which bothers me too is the lack of the microsd but ok, I decided I can live with that!

The device is still stuck on the screen with the Galaxy Tab logo on it and won't switch off at all! Does that mean it's unfixable or is it one of those boot loop problems that I've read about here?
I'm seriously looking at sending it off for repair or replacement if it can't be fixed.
This happened after odin? Just wait a little bit. It usually takes a while for the first boot.

I haven't used it with Odin yet. Should I wait for it to drain fully and recharge fully before trying again?
Also, it's good to know that my data is safe and all I need to do is to root it again and reinstall my apps using Titanium Backup.
It's best to be full before you flash. If the battery is drained before the process is finished then you have a brick!! Just please check your binary counter before and after you flash the stock firmware. I really need to know this... You can see this number in the downloading mode screen. Your tab will be fine...good luck!

I've fully charged it up to 100% so hopefully it should be safe to try and fix the problem.
Also, I've downloaded what seems to be the latest Vodafone UK stock ROM and I take it that's the one I should be definitely using to return the device to stock?
Yes, that is correct, although it does't matter which rom you choose as long as it is for p7500. I am waiting for an update with good news!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, been kept busy.
I've plugged it into the laptop after charging it up to 100% but it's not being recognised by the laptop at all even after reinstalling the USB drivers.
I've managed to get into the screen with the Android Downloading icon on the right and the folder logo on the left. What should I do next?
So I've usually only dealt with the rooting/romming scene for Motorola, and I need some help.
I bought a Galaxy Tab P7510 WIFI only off Craigslist. It's the Google I/O version. It was sold to me as a Galaxy Tab 2, but now I'm under the impression that the P7510 is a Galaxy Tab 1 (which I have no problem with).
- It came with what I believe was CM10 installed.
- After seeing that the Tab 2 had the JB OTA released I downloaded the applicable firmware (based on P7510) and used Mobil Odin Pro to get back to stock (thinking I would be able to OTA to JB still thinking this was a Tab 2).
- I managed to get that far and get to stock so at this point I looked for the OTA in system updates and finally realized hey this isn't a Tab 2 because ICS says up to date, so now I want to go back to JB, but maybe in the form of SlimBean.
- I downloaded CWM to flash custom recovery, used Odin via PC and flashed. All went well and I got the green "Pass".
- So at this point I know I'm close, I just need to boot into recovery, do my wipes, and flash the SlimBean zip and I'm done. But the problem is the Tab won't boot into recovery. I tried power + volume up, i tried power + volume down, i tried power + both volumes but I get nothing. Is this a common easily dealt with issue? Everything on the Tab is stock, rooted, with CWM supposedly flashed, but I just can't boot into recovery...
I'm surprised I got this far without asking for help, but at this point anything is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi, hoping you guys can help me out....
I have just picked up a s2 on 3 network. It is running Gingerbread. I checked for any updates but it says it's up to date...
So I thought I'd root it and install custom rom.
I followed this guide to root it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibj_DWt1Yeo
All seemed to go fine, phone started to reboot and I got the screen with the yellow triangle like it showed in his video but then it just stays at a black screen.
I can go into download mode and into ClockworkMod mode.
Any ideas why it's not rebooting properly??
I was just going to try and install a custom rom through CWM but thought I'd better ask before I try in case I brick it completely!.
I have been onto samobile to see if I can download the stick firmware that was on it but nothing is showing up for 3 network...
I have rooted and changed the rom on my Galaxy Tab 8.9 hundreds of times, and have rooted my Note 10.1 without any trouble. But think I must be doing something wrong......
Nothing wrong in what you've done here as far as i know.. Maybe try pulling the battery out and see..
And yes u can install a custom rom.. But u need to be sure that emmc brick bug is not there..

Use this app to find out..
and why not try a genreic JB since you are on GB rather than custom roms?
Hi there, I'm stuck in a conundrum after owning and flashing several Android devices since Gingerbread, including HTC Evo 3D, HoX and SGS4.
My girlfriend bought a i9305 SGS3, and all is well running stock. I showed her the several ROMs out there (I'm currently using a S5 themed ROM for my S4) and she wants a similar looking ROM for her S3.
Downgraded to 4.1.1, SIM unlocked and PhilZ 6.48.4 installed with Odin all fine. Went to install "GlamourS5 for S3", zip copied fine, md5 matches but on reboot I get the Samsung Galaxy SIII i9305 boot screen, then the screen goes black. No boot animation, no bootloop.
So I pulled battery and went back into recovery and wiped /cache (usual boot issue), rebooted again and same again, gets past SGS3 screen but no boot anim or AndroidOS.
I have since tried "S5 Sensation ROM" and even tried "S5UI-FDN V5". All flash sucessfully and then boot to black screen. I also used latest TWRP and PhilZ 4.41.6 in case the latest PhilZ was bugged. Again, the screen worked A-OK stock.
I'm after any ideas while I restore stock 4.3.
Thanks in advance!
I am not sure but are these roms for the s3 i9300 or s3 i9305?
I don't think you can flash a i9300 rom on a i9305
Cant do that
Those Roms are only for i9300.
Check for I9305 roms here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305
I dont think there are s5 themed roms for I9305
