[Q] Boot loop - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
A few months ago I plunged in , rooted my Tab 10.1 (P7500 3G) with TWRP v2.2.0 and installed Cyanogenmod 10.? successfully.
A few weeks ago I started getting random reboots which increased in frequency until finally it started to reboot during the cyanogenmod logo at start up.
I can still access TWRP so I believe all is not lost. So now I want to wipe my tab and flash with a Lollipop ROM I get on this site.
My problem is I did not have the samsung USB driver installed on my PC, so before windows can install them, the tab reboots. or if I go into TWRP it disconnects before the driver is installed.
So now I do not know how to get the ROM zip file on my tablet?
other info:
Windows 7
Odin3 v1.8 (which I got when I rooted originally)
any help would be appreciated

You could download those drivers from Samsung. I've never tried connecting my tab to my pc when in twrp so I can't help you with that. Option b would be to download the stock ICS rom from sammobile and flash it with Odin with your tab in download mode. It gives you a fresh start and a chance to start hating touchwiz all over again

Hi, downloaded the drivers already, but I can't seem to install them while in twrp, the tab seems to disconnect from PC and driver install fails.
I will see if I can connect with the tab through Odin while in twrp. Edit: Odin does not connect to the tab
The Lollipop ROM I have is a ZIP file so as far as I know you need to copy it to the Tab and then flash with twrp? You cant seem to flash it through Odin.
I still have a Nameless-4.4.2 ROM on the tab that I can flash, I will give this a try.

Odin never connects with twrp, you should put your tab in download mode in order to get Odin to see it.

Ok thanks, got that figured out, this is only my second ROM change.
I had a problem wiping the Delvic cache, it get stuck until eventually the battery dies, but never completes the wipe.
I am having some problem now getting a ROM that can be flash from Odin. The zip file I downloaded so far all seem corrupt or empty . I eventually flashed a ROM (P7500XWLP5_P7500OJVLP5_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5) I had on my hard drive, not sure which one this is....
The flash went fine, but now I am stuck at the SAMSUNG logo that comes up after the stars and animation sequence. I will leave it over night on charge and see if it will boot up.

I'm betting it won't go past the samsung logo. If it does, great! If it doesn't you'll need to do a factory reset. That helped for me.

[Q] Help needed: Tab bricked but it happened when the tab where in use!?

Hi guys.
Im on coffeebeans ICS ROM on my TAB 10.1 and it worked perfectly for about two months. But suddenly when visiting a random web page the tab suddently froze. When i rebooted it it was stuck at Samsung logo and justs restarts after a while. When going into Clockwork mod i cannot get access to "install zip from sdcard" the screen is black when trying to get access to internal memory. When trying to set it back to factory settings from CWM it freezes.. Any ideas?
Kinda strange i think! Guess i have to try install a new ROM via Odin but then I need help from one of you to guide me where to start
Thanks for all help!
That's really weird. It's almost like your file system got corrupted or something.
Here's a good place to start for the recovery process

Sounds logical. Can you point me to a thread with a recovery to use? And also a guide maybe so i use Odin correct. I have used Odin, but that is a long time ago
Try search forums
Use the official recovery from CWM only, here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager . If you are using ROM manager, just download it and flash recovery from via ROM manager. If not, use Odin. It's easy, turn tablet into download mode, start Odin, click PDA, choose the file with recovery and press start. For using Odin you will need recovery in .tar package, so here you are http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23527491/recovery.tar.md5 ...Touch recovery 5.8.3.1

[Q] S3 Stuck on Boot Screen

Hi,
I tried to root (first time) my S3 using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1703488
My S3 is the international version: GT-I9300.
I followed all the steps, except for one bit. In the prompts, I could not find the exact version of my S3. The guide said to use the closest one so I did. My build is JRO03C UBDLJ1 but I used number 9 (see guide photo 2). All went well until my phone won't reboot anymore. Odin and the root application says that everything is fine, except my S3 is stuck at the boot screen (Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 with black screen). I can still get into Download or Recovery modes. How do I fix this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'll try that tomorrow since it's already past midnight here where I live. Is there any way to turn the phone off? Cos it just keeps on rebooting up everytime I close it. Or is it okay if I just leave it on the boot screen. Will the battery run out?
simple take the battery out
in cwm
Delete cache,dalvik cache and it should boot! If it refuses flash stock and it will boot normally again!
I Think You Should Check This checkrom.com/threads/resurrection-odin-checkrom-evohd™-v4.896/
Please Report If It Worked
OK I managed to get this thing back working finally. What I did was flash it back to a stock ROM. I couldn't find my original version but close enough, except this version, 4.1.1 doesn't seem to be available (but thats not a big deal).
Now I'm too scared to try root it again lol...
And thanks for all the suggestions!!!
Follow up question:
Root attempt 2 = successful
I tried to install CyanogenMod 10 (via Odin). Except the device got stuck in the CyanogenMod spinning boot screen. Restored it via backup for now. Any idea why this is happening?

I remember it takes some time for everything to load first time,maybe 5 or 10 minutes,also I think it`s better to use cwm to flash custom roms! just use odin for root and stock roms!
just move the file on the sdcard and boot in cwm,let it do his thing and then wait a bit!

[Q] Problems installing CWM recovery onto P7500

Hello I bought my P7500 in Malaysia from an independent computer store (not tied to a carrier) about 2 years ago and I recently decided that I'd like to check out CM before I buy my next android device to see if it's important to me to be able to have CM on my next tablet. I took the files from the CM's wiki on how to install CM on the P4. I'm able to get into download mode on the tablet and successfully install the CWM according to Odin 1.85. After I reboot though I still have the standard Samsung recovery binary and when I attempt to repeat the steps it says;
Reason: Force Key,
Secure Mode: Secure,
Check Signature: Check,
Custom Binary download: No (0 count),
Current binary: Samsung Official.
I'm using the official cable that came with the device (sometimes it's finicky about connecting) and Windows downloaded the drivers for it when I first connected the device to my PC. The only other thing I can think of is it has an official version on ICS 4.0.4.
Any help on why I'm having these issues.
Once you've installed cwm, then boot into recovery. Its the other icon when you boot into download mode. It should show a customized recovery rather than the stock one. I believe the infos you gave was from download mode right?

Fixed
Ok I figured it out. The problem seems to be that Odin needed to be restarted for each of the 3 different files that the CM instructions are telling you to install with it. I decided to try it in reverse recovery.tar.md5 -> modem.tar.md5 -> bootloader.tar.md5 and noticed only the 1st file is loaded properly. So if your following the instructions at wikic[dot]cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_p4 then you need to know to restart Odin between each file.
Actually I think you should read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074202. It has all the information you need and contains the right gapps for our device if you want to flash cm10.1.

I can tell you this... on the epic 4g touch... Odin doesn't like to try and flash more than one thing at a time...
I'm not sure how you went about using Odin, but if you need any help... I'm always around..

Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi Bricked

Need help to unbrick my tab. Here's what happed.
My tab wont boot, stucked at Samsung logo. everything is wiped out. Data was formatted, no more backup files and flashable roms saved. But the good news is, I can still enter recovery which is a twrp 2.8.3.0 and in download mode.
Heres what I've done so far:
1St try:
Tried to connect tab to a Windows 7 x64 and install the tab driver but tab was not recognized by Odin. Tried using sideload with twrp still the tab won't be recognized.
On Windows, I can see Samsung adb on device manager.
2nd try:
Using Linux. Tab is not recognized in lsusb.
So I'm stuck. Don't know what to do next.
1. Is there a way to use adb while on Recovery?
Bump.
Anybody? @decatf does your twrp can detect OTG USB? Thanks
Best bet is to flash back an official stock Rom through Odin and Download mode. The latest one thrown out by Samsung is an ICS Rom.
But we don't know what Rom were you using. If it was a Lollipop, I'm not sure this can be done, sorry.

Help with bootlooped galaxy tab 10.1

Hello, I am searching for help with my bootlooped galaxy tab 10.1
It's stuck on the secondary logo that is a glowing
"samsung"
I have clockwork recovery installed along with correct usb drivers.
Samsung kies does not recognize device.
Odin crashes when attempting to load files.
I have a quality usb cable
Model # is gt-p7510ma ,no SD card option.
Did you recently flash a new ROM to cause it to boot loop, if not, what were you doing that caused you to reboot the device? If unsure, try using Logcat to see what is causing the problem.
If you have a backup, try wiping device and restoring from that, or if you did flash a rom right before try wiping and flashing another to see if that is the problem.
Odin crashes when attempting to load files.
Use Latest version of Odin , Reinstall your phone drivers , when you put files make sure you put in right place and let him a while to load that files don't touch anything . Once is finish with loading then put your galaxy in to the Download mode and connect on PC .
I received it in this condition. I was able to put clockwork on it through odin but not the stock rom I think. Odin crashes when trying to put the regular tar file on it. I'm not opposed to using rom either. I was told the tablet is rooted and given passwords/pin #for whatever.

Then I think is problem with your PC , and that way your Odin is crash.
Use CCleaner to repair and Clear Registry , Reboot your PC and try again if not , try on another PC .
Other phones connect to it and I was able to put clockwork recovery on it through doin. It only crashes when I try to put a stock rom on it
