[Q] Help with my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, i am new to the forum and i have a problem with my samsung galaxy tab 10.1
Model no: gt-p7500, 3g+wifi, 16 gb.
The problem started some months ago, the tablet will boot up, but get stuck on the samsung logo, i went online and found information regarding how to fix using odin, i downloaded and installed odin and a stock firmware, while playing around in odin, i checked the nand erase option, the process started but failed inbtw, i then tried it again, this time with the nand erase option off, the process completd successfully. But now i am stuck in screen with the following information
#manual mode#
--updating applications.
The tablet keeps rebooting to the above screen. Please help.
I do not have a backup and i am a newbie. Thanks.

You need Odin v1.85. It doesn't have any nand erase option in it.
What tar.md5 file did you use to flash.

I looked around and I found this thread. I hope you can get something out of it. And I hope you can revive your tab.

Hmmm sounds like the tab is trying to boot into stock recovery but errors out before it can complete. Try flashing a custom recovery with Odin. Preferably cwm, when its done reboot to recovery and use adb to push a custom ROM to your internal sdcard---thats assuming it does boot into the custom recovery.

Did you do a full wipe(dalvik, cache, system, data)? If not then please do a full wipe and flash again. Also, in case you're flashing the ROM over can you pull a recovery log and post it here so I can see if anything is going wrong in there?
Use this to get that log after you've flashed the rom
Code:
adb pull tmp/recovery.log

Hi L3RON, i did as you instructed, i did a full wipe, cache wipe, davlik wipe, after that i did another adb sideloading of the custom rom, everything went ok, but it still gets stuck on the samsung galaxy tab screen. Also i got the recovery log that you needed. They are attached. Thanks

OK so it seems that your data partition is either not being mounted or is being mounted in read only mode therefore nothing can be written to that partition. I looked around for a fix for this issue and I found this thread which addresses the said issue for your tab. I really hope this will help get your tab back to a functioning state.

[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] Galaxy Ace GT-5830i stuck in recovery mode

Hello all,
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i that is stuck in Android system recovery (3e) mode, and it seems there is no way to get it out of there.
- upon selecting wipe data/factory reset the device is stuck with one message "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." and "Formatting /data..." bellow
- upon selecting apply zip from the SD card the installation always fails with various error messages (I tried to install cyanogen mod rom in an attempt to recover, but failed as well)
- upon selecting reboot now the whole screen disappears with only the "multicsc: src /system/csc/MTL/system/ ." message at the bottom of the screen and I need to remove the battery.
I will greatly appreciate if anyone on this forum could help with the issue, as I have search for possible solutions without any luck so far, and my phone appears to be bricked.
Thank you,
John
My guess is u still on stock recovery. Flashing cm rom or any other custom rom needs clockworkmod recovery, moroever theres no cm rom for s5830i yet.
For now u could try to reflash stock rom with odin. Theres a thread somewhere guiding howto do so for s5830i. Also do note that anything for original s5830 wont work on your s5830i.
Last but not least, do read more and understand what you're trying to do before u really hardbricked the poor thing.
Thanks for the pointers, I really appreciate it and everything works fine now.
It was actually my nephew's phone, so I have no idea how he managed to brick it like that.

I have the exact same problem. Except I can't even enter into download mode. Phone boots into recovery mode regardless of what buttons I press, get stuck at "formatting /data", and I can't flash anything. All the buttons seem to function as intended in the recovery menu, so it's not a hardware failure. Any ideas?

Flash stock rom thru odin then from recovery mod Clear data and cache then reboot. [emoji4]
I know this is kind of old but I have same problem, i got this phone from cousin and it wasnt booting , it was going straight into recovery, since my mother has same phone and i used odin before to save her, i am familiar with odin so, I tried new firmware flash with odin , it passed on odin but again doesn't want to finish install on the phone, it says
installing update...
--appling muti-csc --
Fromatting /cache...
-- Appling Muti-CSC __
and it wont go anywhere from there , and if I reboot it goes back in recovery again and it wont format data again, formatting cache works. I also tried to flash cm7, rooted it, installed cwm but when i do reboot it is not in cwm but in regular recovery, so after that I installed cwm again and without reboot installed cm7 kernel wich succeded , after that installing the cm7 itself stuck on "installing update" , could this be hardware issue, it always seem to be stuck when its doing something with "data". I tried couple odin flashes multi package and single package, i was carefull to chose correct firmware, only thing i could make mistake is maybe with pit and re-partition. Anyone help i would appriciate it much since i have no other phone than this.

[Q] Galaxy Ace S5830 Reboot Loop

Okay so recently I tried flashing a custom Cyanogen mod 10.1 to my S5830 yet I did not install ClockworkMod. My phone is now caught in a reboot loop where it gets stuck on the Samsung loading screen, and does not change, I tried entering recovery mode and "wipe data/factory reset" but it comes up with the error E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/stl14, and when I try to wipe the cache partition i get the same error. I have also tried flashing stock standard drivers back to the phone, through Odin Multiloader, yet Odin does not pick up my phone due to being unable to boot my phone up.
For Odin I can load all the files yet I cannot start due to it not identifying my phone.
Any help regarding this issue would be immensely appreciated.

Do you have the galaxy ace drivers on your pc? If not your pc can't connect to your ace.
To use odin it isn't necessary to boot up your phone as far I know. You have to go into the download mode and then use odin.

I do have the drivers installed on my computer, yet when I enter download mode as soon as I connect my ace to my laptop it restarts into the bootup loop again. I have all the necessary files to initiate the stock reset, such as cooper.ops and the MD5 file, yet all I need is for Odin to register my phone When I connect my phone to my laptop in download mode I get a 5 second (give or take) window before it restarts itself.
Any pointers into which I could get Odin to connect to my phone would be much appreciated.
As I said I have all the necessary files but Odin just does not register my phone

[Q] Stuck on boot logo - GALAXY Pocket Neo GT-S5310 - Can't access recovery mode

Hi
I have a Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo GT-S5310...
The sad thing is that, a while ago it stopped working and now it's stuck on the boot screen (Samsung GALAXY POCKET Neo GT-S5310)
I have tried to perform a factory reset through the built-in recovery mode (volume up + home + power), but unfortunately, I couldn't access the recovery mode and the phone goes directly to the boot screen.
And since the only thing I could do was accessing the Download Mode, so I tried to recover it by installing an official firmware with Odin3_v3.07... but it didn't solve the problem...
So what would you guys suggest?
can't delete this reply... could an admin please do it?

Cant boot to recovery
Hi sorry for the thread revival but I have run out of ideas. Same problem as OP. Odin flash is successful but stuck on samsung logo when trying to boot to recovery.
S5310i 4.4.2
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Anyone found a solution to this?
When you use Odin to flash, when it has finished, it always boot to recovery, there you have to wipe data and cache, then it works properly!

After flashing recovery with odin I am still stuck at the S5310 Neo splash screen unable to boot into recovery. Has this maybe got something to do with a conflict between android versions? As the S3510i comes with 4.4.2 stock, not 4.1.2.

Thanks for your help. Could you please explain more about this? Where would I find the pit file to flash? Do I tick re-partition in odin? Never flashed pit before. worried about bricking the device.
I am struggling to find the PIT file for my specific device (S5310i). its only on a handful of websites asking for paid subscriptions. Could anybody possible direct me to where I can find:
CORSICAVE3G_EUR_OPEN. Pit
I have downloaded the corsicass.pit and S5310_corsicass.pit but am not sure if this will work on any S5310 variant?

please help!!!!!
Never factory reset from a custom ROM. It is recommended to do it from recovery. Your reset has wiped too much including important parts of the OS. Flash another copy again.

Go the the forum designated for your device, do not ask here.
As for your question, please flash your stock ROM again. Make sure to follow the steps properly and be very patient.

Thanks for ur concern but i cannot open my recovery it is just teamwin written on screen any other method plse describe.
Maybe it is just loading? If after waiting for 5 mins. can you enter recovery? If not can you enter download mode? If yes then download a copy of the stock rom from here and flash it via ODIN.

How do I get into Odin mode? Every time I try to hold power, home and volume down it just flashes the Samsung logo and then goes into recovery when I release the buttons, no download mode
EDIT: just solved it. Seems I didn't press the volume button "down" enough.
