[Q] Tab 10.1 in bootloop. Help appreciated - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I'm having some trouble with my p4wifi. It's stuck in a bootloop. Well... it boots, but then after 10 to 15 seconds the screen goes black and it starts booting again. Want to get some advice here before I go and damage it even more trying to fix it
Here is what I did so far:
1. When the problem occured I was running cm-10.1-20130203-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip with stock kernel. I used cm10.1 for a few weeks without any problems. Don't remember witch 10.1 nigtly I started with.
2. I came from CM10 liquid pure JB 4.1.2. Before that I was running CM9. Before updating to CM10 I updated my bootloader to US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader. This was recommended in the cm10 liquid pure thread.
3. First thing I did after the problem occured was updating to cm-10.1-20130205-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip, hoping it would be fixed in a new Nightly. No solution...
4. Then I did a wipe/factory reset + wiped cache + wiped dalvik cach... Still the same problem
5. Then I did a nandroid restore. Restoring didnt go smooth though.... CWM said my backup directory was empty. Searched the internet for a solution and found it: moved the nandroid backup files to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/[backupdate] (via ADB) The nandroid restore then worked.... . The backup I restored is a CM9. Still the same bootloop though
6. Did a wipe/factory reset + wiped cache + wiped dalvik cach... didnt help...
I have also made a logcat.txt, will attach it to this post. Don;t have much experiance with logcat. I just executed 'adb logcat -d > logcat.txt' after my tab made a view bootloops.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

Did you attempt to ODIN a known good stock image?

No I didnt.
Can you recommend me one? Do you have a link? And how do you advice me to flash (repartitioning checked or unchecked etc..). And do I have to change my boot loader?

[Q] Won't boot, worked fine, then bootloop, now it freezes (using CM9 ICS Nightly)

Hi Friends,
Model Number - GT-P7510
I recently rooted and installed the CM9 ICS nightly rom using the noob video instructions (This included rooting with Odin, installing CMW recovery 4.0.0.4, then I flashed the ROM cm-9-20120624 Nightly and finally flashed GAPPS-ics).
I over clocked using the CM9 settings and everything worked perfectly for about a week, it was great. Then it just crashed while I was reading my email and began to bootloop. After reading for similar errors I rebooted to recovery and tried wiped the cache and dalvic cache, I wiped data and factory reset several times but nothing worked, always the same bootloop. I re flashed the same ROM and still nothing, after a while the boot screen would simply freeze instead of bootloop.
Then I connected to my PC, and did this to no avail. In fact it simply added to the problem by adding a yellow warning triangle while attempting to boot so I did the Oden thing again like the first time I rooted however I installed CMW version 5.5.0.4 instead thinking it might help but it hasn't.
One last point, when I attempt to wipe data/factory reset the tablet seems to freeze and attempt to reboot rather than say something like "success" as it would during a cache wipe. This maybe normal or it maybe the problem! who knows?
On that point, I would be very grateful if some of you could help get me to the point when my PC recognises the tablet so I can reflash a new ROM.
Thanks in advance,
Karl
I once got the same problem. The only thing that helped was to flash back the stock rom via Odin with the pit file. And don't forget to do a hard reset after flashing the rom. I'll just stick to the stock rom until the official update is getting released.

Questions go in the Q&A section
I think the best way is still to do factory reset, go back to the stock ROM first and try custom HC ROM until the official ICS is released.

Phone rebooting when making calls

Hi Guys,
Yesterday i installed Paranoid Android on my phone ( full wipe data and cahe ) and it started to reboot when making calls.
So i decided to install CM9 RC1 and got the same problem.

If you are doing it through CWM
Try installing after wiping Dalvik cache available in advance.

hi.
Had same kind of issue. Random reboot/shutdown.
I installed 1.6 last night. With full wipe of everything I could find in my kernel to wipe.
then, install paranoid.
then install G-apps.
then WIPE cache again.
then fix permission.
as recommended in the official thread by the dev.
It solved my issue.
good luck.
Same problem here.
Any stock rom (including ICS) works well.
I tried installing paranoidandroid 1.6.
Factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Install gapps and camerafix.
wipe cache.
Set phone dpi to 184
reboot
And basically, everytime i try to make a phone call, it looks like that the phone screen (the one that displays the contact picture and the close-call red button) is crashing.
I can hear 10 seconds of phone ringing/conversation and then the system reboots, showing me the boot animation.
The only way to fix this, so far, is by installing a stock rom
..probably I am missing something, but I cannot get it working.
I resolved mine by reverting to a GB stock rom and flashing the lastest nightly from there.

Galaxy tab bootloop???

I've been running AOKP Milestone 6 for about 2 months now. It always had a problem unlocking the lockscreen at full battery as it didn't receive touch input so I just restarted the tablet. Then it would just reboot as the tablet would not turn off if the power button was held. I dont care. Dont turn it off enough for that to make a difference.
Well one day I woke up turned on the tablet and like normal there was no touch recognition. Oh well reboot like normal. Then my tablet stuck in the AOKP animation. It just froze. About halfway through the animation. I used the hard reboot (vol- and power) and it froze again at about the same place. I WTF and go to CWM and reflash the ROM and it froze at applying data. Hard reboot. Flash Galaxy Task. Freeze at applying data. Flash a backup I made on AOKP milestone 6. Froze at applying data. Plug into computer and flash stock root package. SUCCESS!! Then the AOKP boot animation comes up and freezes at the same place as before. I have no idea what to do as I decided I would flash 1 ROM and leave it on my tab because I've hard bricked my infuse before and didn't want to send this in have it come back broken and buy a new one.

I'm Running 4.0.0.4. Wasnt planning on flashing a lot of ROM so flashing that would be not so important to me. Checking that site out now.
I noticed I forgot to mention it's a wifi model. will update OP.

Will try to find 3g stock Rom and try to upgrade CWM

I am currently having this problem too.
It all started when my wifi started not working so I rebooted my tablet. Suddenly im stuck in a bootloop with no way to get out of it.
I'm able to access CWM and have tried wiping cache, but that didnt work. Now i've tried wiping /data but it freezes.
I'm unable to access my USB as it repeatedly says "E:unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
I've tried using ADB to push a new flash image which worked but im still stuck in a brand new bootloop (presumably because i cant wipe /data).
Can anyone help? I have NO idea how this happened.
Flash a stock ROM using Odin in download mode...now that you are in such trouble flashing a 3G ROM doesn't make much difference...

samsung sgh-i577 and cm10

I am trying to install cm10 on my Samsung sgh-i577.I have pushed the new cwm on the device go to install zip from sd card.cm10 will install fine when it boots it just hangs on cyangenmod screen. I have let it sit for 10 mins as they have said in the thread for the new kernel. Reboot and it still hangs what I am doing wrong? I am coming from stock ICS. Should I wipe factory data in cwm and wipe cache partition and wipe d. cache and then install?
I am sorry I left that out but I also flashed the latest gpapps for cm 10 I have tried this 6 times. And it just gets stuck at boot I have to go back to stock ICS. I have flashed AOKP,ROOTBOX,CM10 All get stuck
That happend to me too xS. Try what Sewrizer says :good:
I got it I wasn't wiping factory data as soon as done it worked fine but the android keyboard isn't working on cm10 it keeps saying has stopped working. And those are the files I was trying to use and thank you for your help.
I fixed it was the latest version of gpapps that was causing the problem
Anyone wanna move the Convo to the full thread?

[Q] Partial Brick?

Hey guys,
After using a CM9 rom for a long time I decided to try a cm10 nightly. I just flashed the rom in ClockworkMod and dont think I updated anything else such as boot loader. It boots, says "samsung galaxy 10.1, then I get the CM wheel rotating and it comes to a homescreen but says "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped" and I click "ok" and it just keeps coming up. I cant get to home screen or anything. I used to be savvy with flashing these diff roms but after I was on a stable CM Rom for so long I kind of forgot and didnt do it right.
Like I said my guess is I flashed a jelly bean rom onto a older kernel or boot loader, forgive me if I am using wrong terms here. I am sure it can be brought back but its been awhile since I did this stuff so any help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Craig
Did you make a full wipe i.e. system, data, cache, dalvik before flashing?
Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk HD
Boot to Download mode and Odin ICS 4.0.4 on the device first. That will give you the required bootloader. You can then root the device before you flash the JB. But you must do full wipes (format/factory reset, format system under Mounts/Storage, wipe dalvik under Advance) before the installation. For the installation, make sure your Recovery is the current one. I use CWM Recovery 6.0.3.2 especially if you wish to install CM 10.1 which is what I run. After the installation wipe cache and dalvik again before rebooting.
