I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 GTP3100. today it suddenly started to restart in every few minutes.
I tried to uninstall lastly installed app, but the device restarted every time I tried to do something with it. Then i tried to reset it from the settings>>backup & Restore. but no gain. the device was as it was before.
then i tried with system recovery mode. it opened with an error message
did not match sized 'system/csc/common/system/csc/default_workplace.xml' (No data found)
despite tht I performed "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"
it said to have completed the above operation, no further error message. I rebooted the system... but no gain.. same as before.. not a single change. and the "restarting problem" was ther.
Could anyone please help me?
thank you in advance

I would re-install the stock firmware with Odin, then reset.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tried with ODIN. even the local service station guy couldn't fix it.
In download mode, it took forever but to download the package.
could it be any Hardware problem? I don't think so. because I can play movies and music before it restarts again.

I'm not sure what is relevant about the time it took to download the file...?
What happened while installing the firmware via Odin? Did it finish? Did it have errors?
Next option would be to try to install a custom recovery and use that to reset the phone or install a custom rom.

If the package didn't download, then what would Odin have to flash that it would fail at?

As per the Senior Member has described, it is the best way to resent the tab. But as you are not able to administer the odin, I will suggest you to get your mobile reset from the Service centre in your locality. By default, to reset the tab you have to press the volume down button and then gently press the menu button. It will show the option of wipe.
As you are saying that it is not working, I think service centre is the best option.

rudrapratap03, thanks for your reply
I would like to tell you that i went to the service station, the technician also failed to reset the device in Odin mode. and suggested me to change the board. I don't think there would be any hardware problem as I could use the device to play music and videos, before it restarts itself again. I could read books for hour (if i do the reading only).
What are you clueless on? Whether or not you downloaded the file? I'm not sure how that part is confusing. Or are you talking about that you put it in Download Mode and then Odin didn't do anything? If that is the case, then without telling us what Odin was doing or what the log said, then how do you expect anyone to be able to help troubleshoot?

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!

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

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:
# MANUAL MODE #

Applied the CSC-code: ZTO
Succesfully applied multi-CSC.

Hi Everyone,
This is my story:
I woke up today to my phone being off. Thinking it was battery, I got my spare and replaced it. Turned on the phone and saw the:
"Samsung
Galaxy S III
GT-I9300"
This logo kept on appearing, then disappearing; appearing then disappearing. It is still doing that and I can not get past it. I have tried clearing Dalvik Cache (yes I can access recovery mode). I have tried using Odin to flash stock firmware to it (it showed a "PASS"), and still nothing works. I am at the end of my wits with this phone. Based on what I know, my options are:
1) Wipe/Reset Factory data
2) Take it to a repair shop bcz of a hardware malfunction (no warranty)
3) Throw it in the bin
Any other options that might get me into the phone to get my information?
Just so you guys know, this phone was rooted a couple months back. The only reason I rooted it was to use Titanium Backup. Needless to say, I wasn't messing around with it when this happened. Please advise!
Use Google or search on XDA next time!
Looks to me like you have SDS!

factory reset should've been the first thing you did after the cache. that's your solution. it's not sudden death, just do a factory reset

Can you enter recovery? Or it's just DL mode?
I can enter recovery and DL mode. For the record, I just did a wipe data factory reset and it's still doing the same thing. Any suggestions now?
If you can get into download mode then try flashing stock Rom with Odin, if it doesn't boot up, go to recovery and do factory reset.....

The other mode is called recovery mode.
The factory reset will wipe your data - although most will be probably backed up and restored later.
Try that, if it doesn't work, flash with the download mode.

Did wiping from recovery mode not help? try that before trying odin, it's much safer.
Also, please follow all the instructions when dealing with odin, misuse can hard brick your device and turn it into 600$ useless paperweight.
no i just relfahsed with odin , and it restarted it then said re installing 0/200 apps like it started up first time then it restarted and now its back in a reboot loop

Weird, seems like a problem with one of the apps (?) since it was reinstalling them, factory reset from the recovery menu and see if that makes the difference now that you flashed with Odin.
If not please report back.
PS: wipe dalvick cache under advanced in recovery.
it wasn't reinstalling them. it was optimizing them because the cache was cleared. you need to factory reset. factory reset from stock recovery will also wipe the internal sd though
i am not rooted so dont have access to clr dalvik cache
flashuing stock rom with odin didnt work .
factory reset worked !!
lost all my torrents and stuff on sd card . teach me to back up now
thank u
read the guides

Hi you would never guess what. It happened again. I restored all google apps say 100. Then I was using SMS back and restore to restore about 16k texts . I have lost about two months since the last back so my phone had handled more txtx s then 17k texts
Then it was stuck on solid blue led and glowing samsung logo again . So I just factory restored and now it's ok again ,but now I lost all my stuff again having stayed up until. 4am in the morning rode loading and re installing all apps
Seems like something is hitting all the cache causing the phone to semi brick ? Could it be a bad cache ? So when the phone writes to that caches it bricks it?

No idea, is everything fine now?
Is your problem resolved?
Not really
I just been googgling , is this what they call sudden death?
I did call up samsung service centre and my phone is still under its two year warranty so I got time to take it back.
He did seem helpful but issue is I have fixed it by wipe and factory reset so problem is now not present so not much he can do
The service centre did say if they can not find or repeat the fault then they can't do anything and would send same phone back. Having come from iPhone , it seems the service is not as good . When I had problems with my iPhone they just swapped it out after they plugged it into some machine.
It's been ok today. Though, it's restored all the same apps I had and it hasn't bricked itself yet thank god
I am using app back up and restore and it's sayings I got 290 apps lol
17k of text messages, that maybe the problem..

I need help! It is the first time I am posting here.
I was surfing the web on my phone and suddenly I started getting error messages "Unfortunately, ....process has stopped!". This applies on all of my apps and services, thus, a dozen of error messages at once. I kept tapping on OK but in vain.
I tried to fight against these error messages to access the Settings to reset my phone but after I reset, I got the droid icon with red exclamation mark on it.
I turned off the phone, pressed Power and Volume Up to access the Recovery Mode. After I pressed Volume Down to access the mode, nothing appeared except the droid icon with red exclamation mark, then after 1 minute, the phone rebooted normally and all these error messages popped up again.
I restarted the phone in Safe Mode but in vain.
I tried to clear cache for DRM service and Media Storage but in vain as well.
A friend told me it's related to eMMC but I did not receive any related message to it. It could be I do not know!
Please help me, how I can get rid of this issue?
Thank you very much!
Well you can use apps to access recovery too. If you have root you can use flashify or titanium backup

Hmmm I dont have experience with Huawei. I know that LG phones can be resetted by using a PC tool , I am not sure if there is anything similar with Huawei...
Though when you do factory reset there is always an exclamation mark if I remember correctly... So maybe just press factory reset and wait until it finishes, it may take enough time.

I don't need to as it did recognize it before... It's just plug and play..
Well then your only solution is just try again entering recovery with buttons and flash a new ROM but if still nothing happens maybe its hardware problem.
Also do you remember when this problem appeared or it was like this since you bought the phone?
I just wiped it but the issue still present... So, after reset or wipe, the poblem is not solved..
Dear friends
My phone was delivered with some SuperSU, and some days ago when it asked to be updated, I accepted that option and after the phone/SIM couldn't connect to the network so I could only make emergency calls.
After reading several articles on this site, I've tried to flash through Odin 3 several times, but every time when the phone reboots, it first erases something with Android logo and after that is stuck at Samsung logo picture and nothing happens. As mentioned, I have tried to do this activity several times but nothing helps. What can be done now to proceed?
Model is SM-G925F and I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile (SM-G925F/PAK/), and its following version which I have been trying with:
5.1.1: G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJP3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar-md5

What android version was the phone on before you flashed the firmware? 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?
How long did it stay on the samsung logo? Was the led lit up blue?
Power off phone.
Once off hold vol up + power + home together.
Keep holding them buttons and phone will boot into recovery.
Once in recovery wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
Try that first it should work.
Keep me updated
Thanks bro, tried this and it didn't help.
However, I discovered following error message:
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
I think it was 5.1.1. before flashing. And the Samsung logo is there for hours...haven't tried days though.

What can be done now to proceed?
Model is SM-G925F and I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile (SM-G925F/PAK/), and its following version which I have been trying with:
5.1.1: G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJP3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar-md5
Thanks.

Update it using Samsung Smart Switch.
Update to mm ROM
What actually worked in the end was "SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G925F.tar.md5". Thanks to all suggestions.
However, I am back to the original problem now. The phone cannot use any service provider, tried with both foreign and local Norwegian sim. It simply says that only emergency calls possible. This was the initial problem which I tried to solve by flashing ROM.
Any suggestions regarding how to deal with this?
