I think there is a good chance you can restore your tablet. What exact model is your tablet? Does adb work? What happens when you try to flash back to stock?

Try to google for adb tutorial.
It is not really hard to get it working... there are some zip where is everything included what you need

This should help you getting and using adb, it'll fix your problem.

[Q] Wierd Recovery screen after CWM installation

Hi All,
Hope you are well. I just flashed the CWM recovery to a locked tab using ODIN, and upon doing POWER + VOL(-) and getting into the recovery, for some reason the screen with all the menu to do wipes/install just seems to be scrolling all over the place.
When I re-flash the stock recovery back using ODIN, the screen is fine again. Tried both 4.0.0.4 and also the 3.2.0.1 versions, with not much luck.
Has anyone had a similar incident? Is there anything I can do? I wanted to try and flash my custom boot.img.
Thanks heaps in advance!!!.
Hi Folks,
Hope you are well - wasn't sure if anyone has come across this - but anyone seen the Recovery mode flickering / scrolling when flashed on a locked Galaxy Tab 10.1?
Thanks again!
I'm using CWM 4.0.0.4 on my locked P7510, works as intended.

Thanks yqed,
For some reason when I have CWM 4.0.0.4, and when I reboot into the recovery mode - CWM shows up - but the screen keeps on flickering / scrolling / refreshing all over the place.
I'm wondering if there is something different in my Retail Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI vs. the others - I bought mine from Korea (retail). Appears that I have kernel version 2.6.36.3 instead of .4 and the build is EH14.
Thanks.

I have a Korean 32Gb wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1, and my CWM Recovery also starts having a seizure when I boot into it. It still seems to be working fine, but it is nearly impossible to use.
I would really like to know what causes this issue.
Thanks limenless,
Anyone seen this before? Anyone know if CWM 5 might potentially fix this - seens some thread with regards to this.
I was going to try and wipe the dalvik cache, and others, but seeing the screen is almost impossible to use in recovery mode, having a bit of difficulty there.
Any advice is much appreciated - if you need dumps and others, happy to provide - as long as I get some instructions...
Thanks.

Did you try CMW 5? Preshoot has a tutorial in the development section, its pretty simple just follow it and I think and hope that your issue would be solved!
Why dont you try taking a picture/screenshot of it, best would be using ddms.bat in the android development kit to take screenshot's , or just a picture would do great. Hard to guess what's going on, when someone mentioned seizure, I pictured Dr.House

how can i copy link of youtube here?? i want to show my screen flicker
Just link it here,

Where "bracket" is the ID of your video, those letters at the end. EG: FL7yD-0pqZg
Have you tried Overcome's CWM? I'm using that and it's perfectly fine. PS it's the ver 5 release.
PS; For being an epic House fan I shall see to it that you get it worked out
And to top that off, an offlink to the CWM of Overcome http://www.mediafire.com/?6c5tdmds927npdv
PS: Here's your video, Embedded anyways.
I'm on the same page. My screen flicker after entering CWM recovery mode. Very annoying.
In the development section for 10.1 I was just reading in a thread about a Korean ROM, Pershoot stated something about someones device not being compatible with his kernel. I don't know if either one has to do with the other but I think I read in the same thread of someone having "this problem"
Honestly don't know if anything between this thread and that thread are relevant to each other.
Just thought I'd mention it to see if it helps. sorry if it doesn't apply to anything here.
I somehow fixed it by flashing the tab with an non-HK 3.1 stock ROM using Odlin. then then cwm recovery works fine.
Not really a fix but
You could always just find a pre rooted rom to flash with odin, then once u have the pre rooted rom installed get rom manager and u will no longer have to worry about cwm. Plus u could then flash to whatever rom u need to using rom manager.
My method allows me to have a clear screen in CWM RECOVERY but after I flashed Galaxy Task 14 I get all blurred screen whenever my Tab is resumed from standby. I must set my screen to never turn off to prevent it flickering again.
May I ask which pre rooted ODLIN ROM do you guys recommend? If possible can you please provide the URL to it? I suspect the flickering problem has relation to the harmony between bootloader, kernel etc so I want to use the exact combination you guys are using.

appreciate your help Misledz, 002001-Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6 got same result.. my screen still flicker..
I think I will give up on CWM too complicated for me
Can you just give me tips on how to root my tab 10.1 without CWM (if that is possible)

When you tried the fix noted above, I assume the screen didn't roll when you rebooted then into CWM recovery. At that point did you flash a ROM and THEN reboot to find the flicker after locking the screen, or did you do a reboot back into the same stock HC after flashing the bootloader and experience the problem?
I'm contemplating flashing this same bootloader because I have a rolling CWM5.5.0.4 right now and I want to stabilize it - but just so that I can root...not thinking about a ROM just yet...
Just to inform you all, i also had to flash a different bootloader after installing cm9 on my p7511, wich is in fact a 7510. For the records, pershoot made the new bootloader for exactly that issue, not backwards. But seems to work also.
What i deal now with, is that after flashing the uk ics for p7510 to my tab, the stock recovery doesn't recognize my sdcard. Can't mount sdcard...
Could be that a repartitioning with pit file will be necessary afterwards for us all.
Edit: thanks to the wise help of msedek, i know by now that my hind was totaly wrong. My mentioned point has to do with the Changes within stock recovery of ics, which have been made to prevent changes from there.
Getting more confident..
OK so it is sounding like this is definitely better. One more question:
I'm following the stickied root guide in General and that method uses CWM 4.0.0.4...I had reflashed that version. If I want to flash this boot loader should I flash 5.5.0.4 first? Or does it matter if I'm just trying to root right now?
EDIT: Flashed the bootloader which straightened out the recovery!! Successfully rooted after that. Downloaded root apps (ROM manager/Titanium/etc). Then turned off my screen - FLICKER CITY!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 <<< THIS fixed it. Load this kernel into the root of your tablet and flash it with CWM. Seems to have done the trick nicely and I'm exploring my newly rooted tab! My wife no longer wants to kill me either.

I have the same problem on my P7500 3G and the minute i load the bootloader to fix CWM recovery rolling i get the screen flickering after lock screen.
Rom: ICS 4.0.4
Build Number: IMM76D.XXLQ8
BaseBand7500XXlQ8
Kernel: 3.1.10
Still stuck.
Hi guys,
Gtab 10.1 Wifi here. Fix didn't worked, somehow...
After installing official ics from Samsung and rooted, i had the same insane flicker issue. I followed this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680738 - , flashed new kernel, and now i cant pass Samsung Galaxy Tab logo for some reason, not even past half an hour.
Im in a dead end, even tried installing back CM9 but it also wont pass the splashing blue screen.
Any ideas?
cheers!
EDIT : After some reboots, finally managed to boot into ICS (CM9) but now i was pushed back to the step 1, where I don't have a working camera, but I have root access and non official ICS from Cyanogen. I am afraid re-doing all my work and get stuck again in the scrambled screen after it updates the kernel..
I'm I missing something, guys?
Hi there!
Are you still having problems?does this guide here work for you?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1555984
I've found something,the kernel flash package changes our devices' WiFi driver,that's why it doesn't work.
sorry for not giving a fix until tomorrow,it's sleep time here,I know my excuse will be accepted because you all care for basic human needs...
But please inform me if that guide(Pershoot's) has fixed your problem,thanks for that

Unable to reach download/recovery mode by any means (stock android!!)

Dear forum,
I bought a galaxy i9100 second hand with Austrian T-Mobile branding. It came with android 3.5.2, i updated it to 4.0.3 via KIES, no problem. My plan is to root it to be able to flash cyanogenmod afterwards. Now my pain: I am not able to enter either download-mode or recovery-mode by any means. Of course I tried the necessary key combinations (yes, even following tutorial vids). It always boots with the usual samsung logo, then t-mobile logo and finally homescreen. After hours of messing around I even built an USB-jig, following the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551. Nothing happens! Of course i cannot guarantee I soldered everything correctly, but still...
After searching the www for hours i do not encounter anyone reporting such an issue. People have problems with download-mode when the device is bricked or something, but in my case the t-mobile android works perfectly fine apart from that.
i noticed some other strange behaviour: when i take the battery out and put it back in, the device boots automatically. i don't think this is normal, is it?
Are there any suggestions out there? I am completely clueless and desperate by now...
here are my specs from the phone utilities:
Android 4.0.3
Basebandversion: I9100BOLP5
Kernel-Version: 3.0.15-i0100BOLPE-CL000000
[email protected] #3
Build: IML74K.BOLPE
Swith off the phone, hold volume up and menu button then press power and hold this 3 buttons 10 sec, if android start normally this will br weird for me.

I did this about 10 times. The samsung logo comes up. for a little moment it goes out, thet comes back. After some seconds the usual t-mobile logo animation appears. then home-screen.
And yes! It is absolutely weird, that's why I gave up and started asking

[Q] GT P7500: Is it bricked or something?

Okay here`s the situation.
My GT-P7500 a.k.a p4 is having a problem. Whenever I boot up, it will freeze at the boot animation, and power off if not charging and go to the charging screen if is plugged. I was using SlimBean when I had the problem, flashed AOKP and still the same. Next, when I get to recovery, wiping data takes a looooooooooooong time and never finished (Seriously 3 hours and nothing). Wiping cache`s fine. Tried using TWRP but then I`m stuck on the TWRP Boot screen. I reverted back to CWM but still the same. Is it bricked or something? Is there any solution? I`m hoping for an answer ASAP. Thank you...

had the same issue on my p4wifi...it is a corrupted file.
1) you can odin a rom..this will wipe the data completely
or
2) try to flash the last rom you were successfully on..then wipe the sdcardthis will wipe the data completelyand cache..dalvik. Then try to boot it up.
If second option doesnt work( because of the dirty flash ). Then i would either use odin or push a rom to the device and do a clean install.
Just had a brain storm..you could use twrp file manager to delete files you dont need. Might get lucky and its something you downloaded recently. ( wasnt a twrp recovery when this happened to me )

Just for future reference..when you install a stock rom, like those from sammobile. It is usually needed to wipe data factory reset to get it to boot.
Sorry i didnt get back to you sooner..work is crazy, Lol
Glad you have it up...if you need any other help. Just post in my Q&A thread..I try to check it often.

Booting a bricked SGS2 that has broken volume button to recovery

Hi guys, I've started using a SGS2 but it has broken volume button. I install TWRP and flash RR built by @linusdan. Then I install substratrum theme and swiftblack theme. Then I was too lazy to uninstall the theme via the app and I flashed the rescue package in my phone's internal memory and it's bootloop, I've already tried adb, I typed "adb reboot recovery" and it just stuck like that.By the way, my SGS2 also have a problem with the usb port, when I plug in to charge, it know that I'm charging but the battery won't get anymore precent, I tried with another usb board but it doesn't work and when I plug it to my pc, I have to put its screen head down so the PC can detect it. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance

I did bougat another device, a nokia1 and a note 8 but both of them don't have roms or anything I can play with, the s2 has plenty of roms. I can't live without installing custom roms and tweaks. I have an idea, I can wipe the data with adb, do you know how to wipe system with adb? As without os, the phone will be forced to boot into recovery.

Thanks dude, I'll try out but I'll flash the cwm then flash twrp. I've ordered a repair kit and the sgs2 volume button.BTW , my sgs2 has a problem with usb/charging/whatever. When I plug it in, it say that it's charging but the battery won't get anymore precent. If I connect it to the pc, I have to turn its face down, otherwise, pc won't detect it.

Don't mind the post i posted before, I fixed the usb, it was a problem with the cable, I replaced the cable and every command in adb works, except adb reboot and adb reboot recovery. By some how, i typed ""adb shell" and then "recovery", I bring me to the PhilZ recovery and said : Powered by dorimanX kernel and I can't see any menu like wipe or anything. Do you have any idea?
Almost forgot, I wiped system with erase_image but it still won't boot to TWRP. And the PhilZ of the DorimanX kernel is a post recovery, I figured it out about that by somehow
Update: I tried to format kernel partition to see if it can force the phone boot to TWRP. After formatying, it still won't bring me to TWRP. Then I tried samsung 300k tool but phone no longer be detected by the pc. I tried to make my own usb jig without resistor as I couldn't find any resistor by using paper but no luck. I've found some good deal on the internet, I've ordered a pack that include 100 100k ohms for half a buck. I also ordered a usb jig from china for 2 bucks but it'll arrive after 1 month.

So, after a few days, I made a usb jig same as how he made in the video but it doesn't work. I've done some research, and found a thread, it only work for GB bootloader but mine has ICS bootloader. Now,I'm trying to find a vulome button to replace. It's so hard to find replacement for this phone. BTW, thanks for helping me.
I've got some updates. The volume button never arrive. Then by some how, When I plugged my phone to charge, it started to boot into recovery and I reinstalled the ROM. Problem solved.
So after solving my problem, I decided to install stock ROM. I used the JIG and booted to DL Mode and install Stock rom you provided in the post. Then I realize that I can't reboot to recovery anymore. I tried some apps and it just reboot. I found that I need hardware button, so... do you have any idea ?

Hi, you now have the official android 4.1.2 installed!
1. Make root permissions - [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices
2. Set the - Shutdown Menu (ROOT)
And through the application of restart in the recovery, it's all simple.
3. You can install - [ROOT] Mobile ODIN v4.20
Good luck ...

Thank you very much, I'm back on LOS 14.1 now . But I can't mount my sdcard since I installed stock rom. I can't format it because I have lots of data inside and i still can mount it in other phones
So, I'm back on LOS 14.1, I also found a tip to install LOS 14.1 without getting the triagle, you can use the JIG to remove triagle but I found this one can help you not getting the triagle. As my phone's volume button is broken, I got myself a usb JIG to reboot to Download Mode. I install stock ROM(JB) with odin the I found that I couldn't install anything alse with odin. I decided to root my SGS2 with framaroot , then I installed mobile odin lite and FlashKernel. I downloaded the files from your help thread and flashed the IP kernel + CWM by using the mobile odin. Then I flashed files and Installed LOS 14.1. After a few hours using, I found that the triagle is gone.
BTW, can you share this post by quoting it to your help thread? That will help lots of people

Hi, I was not in that situation either, but I managed to help him.
You can never give up immediately, there must always be a belief that a miracle will happen and when this happens you are very pleased with yourself.

Okay, I overdid it when I told him to buy another device, but I was honest when I said I couldn't help.
I'm glad you managed to help
