So I got my new tab today and the first thing I did was root it. No problem, literally 5 minutes or less. But then I attempted to flash a recovery using these exact steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185 . Now when attempting to boot into recovery it says it could not boot properly and brings me to the downloading screen. Cant seem to find a working recovery, or able to reflash the original one. What do?

hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?
hey everybody, im new here and hopefully i can get some help. ive got a galaxy tab 2 10.1 with stock android which was updated to 4.1.1 though an update. i looked at a few guides and came across a few guides.
followed it exactly as it said it passed in odin, but no clockworkmod, only stock android recovery still comes up. i let the galaxy tab 2 logo flash twice and released still only stock recover. ive tried this 3 times now even twice with:
GT-P5110_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.Tar
and once with:
GT-P5113_ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0.Tar
still no luck...
so i just factory reset it from the android recovery screen. and when i open download mode it still says this

This is the original galaxy tab section. You may get better results in the tab 2 section.

As mentioned, you really need to ask this in the Galaxy Tab 2 forums. However, quick answer: the stock ROM will overwrite recovery when it boots. If you install a custom recovery on your Tab 2, you MUST start the tablet in recovery immediately after ODIN finishes the flash. If you let it reboot, then the stock recovery will be restored.
Hi there,
I hope there ist somebody here who could help me.
I was about to install the lates CyanogenMod on my Tablet and kind of screwed up.
My tablet was rooted, but had some problems installing a Recovery-Image. So I installed the stock Rom (3.0.1) and tried to flash CyanogenMod again. Installting everything via Odin works fine, but when I try to boot into recovery it won't work. So I tried to install the recovery image from the CyanogenMod-Wiki via fastboot. At this point the Tablet schows following error:
Code:
Failed to process command getvar: partition-type : recovery error (0x2)
I had the problem before, when my tablet was rooted, that I could not install the recovery via the Rom Manager...
So I thougt that I might have screwed up my partitions at some point. I went on a hunt for the Pit file and then to install stock Rim with the Pit file again. Well I did find a Pit file which is supposed to work for my tablet. But now everything is screwed up. It will not start anymore at all. Either it ist stuck on the Samsung boot screen or it shows an Android with the exclamation mark and doesn't do anything anymore...
This ist the Pit file which ist supposed to work:
Code:
android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G.zip
Has anyone got a working Pit file für the P7100?
Does the Pit file even fix my partition problem?
Is there a way to manually partition the tab and if yes has anyone got a guide?
I hope there ist someone here that can help me. I would really appreciate it! I know I screwed up badly on this one :crying:
Thanks to everyone taking time to help me in advance.
You might try doing stock image to open if you can get to the recovery and just do a full wipe. ....or try opening your stock recovery if you can and just do a factory reset wipe everything

Thanks for your quick response.
On rare occasion I do get into the recovery and did a full wipe of erverything. I even tried to format all the partitions. On some partitions it just said, that it can not format them. I also reinstalled the stock rom a couple of times as well.
Nothing of this worked so far. I am always stuck on the boot screen or the android with the exclamation mark (after I factory reset ist or reinstalled the stock rom)
Edit: When I boot (not flash) the recovery via fastboot I can get into the downloaded recovery from CyanogenMod.
I tried a little more yesterday to revive my tab...
When I flash the stock rom in download mode via odin, it starts afterwards to a screen with the android and the exclamation mark. At this screen I can press the power and volume + button a couple times and then I am in the stock recovery. Tried every option in there, but it just wont helpt. Afterwards it ist stuck on tying to boot into recovery.
When I don't press the power and volume + button and just wait after flashing stock rom, the tab will reboot after a while and gets into a boot loop with the samsung boot screen...
Tried flashing a recovery rom from clockwork as well, but afterwards I am not able to boot into it. My guess is, that the partitions are screwed up and therefore the tab can not boot... Is there a way to manually partition my tab? Can anyone post the partition table for the P7100 (Galaxy Tab 10.1v)?
Oh yeah... Everything started after I flashed the last nightly from CyanogenMod. That was the first time the tab got stuck on the boot screen and ever since can not get past it.
I scared that I completely broke my tab now and wont be able to get it back :crying:
If your thread name is correct you have a 10.1v if I am correct the code name for it is P3 but the Odin file you posted I assume is for the P4 because of its naming. If it is so the you have flashed the wrong stock firmware image for your tab. You have used 10.1 Wifi and 3G model firmware on a 10.1v. Your tablet could be seriously screwed up but there is still hope if you can get into download mode.

You are right. I have the P3 and flashed the P4 PIT-file. I have read on a couple sites, that the P4 ist as well the right one for the P3 and haven't found another PIT-file just for the P3.
I only started using the PIT file after my bootloop problem started, which was directly after flashing CyanogenMod (nightly). The version I downloaded was supposed to work all right on my tab, but did screw it up. Do you have any idea which part of my tab could be screwed up and what I could try?
I think it is the partitions and I flashed the stock rom for the 10.1v (3.0.1) a couple times (with and without the P4 file)...
I am getting all right into download mode, but can only get into the recovery directly after flashing the stock rom. After one mor restart I can't access the recovery anymore...
Hi, I'm a bit of a noob and just recently switched to android. First off, I went ahead and rooted the tablet and tried to install a custom kernel to my tablet and I may have picked the wrong zip file, I tried to flash it in twrp recovery with the zip file and now the tablet comes on and I CAN still get into recovery but it just won't boot past the samsung logo. I have found another kernel that I wanted to try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455058 and was wondering if since I flashed the wrong kernel before and this one is supposed to be for my tablet, will it boot? If someone could give me a hand, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
Hello!
I have a Samsung XCover 2 (GT-S7710) and I've tried to flash a CM-Rom for quite a while, but without success. At some point my phone stopped to boot a single rom I installed. It automatically starts into CWM Recovery, even with my backup (made with cwm). I thought cwm could be the bad guy and I flashed the Stock Rom with Odin, but same problem here. In Odin everything is fine but again it starts in recovery automatically.
I've read that the bootloader could be the problem and you need to flash it with Odin, but I don't know which one to take, since all treads were about other phones.
Does anyone know which bootloader I have to take or if there is another solution?
Greetings!
