GT-P5110 Softbrick, boot's only to recovery or download - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Got a GT-P5110.
- boots to stock recovery (or other recovery) insted to system
- buttons are not stuck
- Original GT-P5110ZWAXEO (from file in efs), on case, on box
- Can flash CWM, philz, twrp recovery, it will boot the recovery
- After installing any custom rom (lineageos13, cm10, cm12, cm13, omni etc) it will boot to the recovery
- Choosing reboot in the recovery will power off the device, not reboot
- flashing factory rom (P5110XXDNH2 and some other) with odin works, after reboot it shows "Installing system update..", the blue bar goes to about half, after it will show "Erasing..." and power off after a second. Power on again it will boot to facotry recovery, in this place wipe data will work, wipe cache will give error.
- wiping the partitions work with custom recovery, chcecked from shell, partitions are writable, no errors
- flashed new PITfile with repartitioning, still no change.
- if i install a custom ROM, the battery charge screen will come from the custom rom.
So i can not get any OS working on this tab. Any ideas?
The 4-file ROM for odin i only found for GT-P5100, should i try to flash it?
I found the bootloader for P5110, should i flash it?
Thx

So i found my problem.
It was the like here, i missed this thread before. The dock/charge connector was faulty (looks like new) and prevents the tab from booting.

Did you say you did a restore then you wiped data/factory reset?
Try opening twrp wipe data, wipe the system perform factory reset, then installed fresh version of cm10.1
but this happen also with stock recovery and stock rom install (dload folder), it starts installation (green android with gearbox) and after 2 seconds it restarts (and keep looping) it looks like corrupted partitions and it started after twrp flash
maybe you need to enter to fastboot mode and then push stock's ROM one-by-one like ICS beta back to honeycomb
what partitions must I flash ? are their names same as img files in rom's zip?

Phone stuck before boot animation after flashing custom ROM

Hi, I'm getting stuck at the black screen just before the boot animation (the one that says "samsung galaxy SIII gt-i9300"), after flashing custom rom via CWM. Maybe I'm a complete noob but I think something is wrong in my phone.
I had installed MIUI official before, then removed it to get warranty back and sent phone to samsung service to fix the my broken simcard compartment.
After getting my phone back, I tried to install MIUI again and got stuck.
The strange thing is how fast ROM is installed in CWM, less than 10 seconds...
No error message and says install is complete
have retried 7 times now, using this:
- Odin 3.04
- CF-Auto-Root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957273)
- CF-Root 6.4 - SuperSU+CWM5.5+CWMManager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238)
- ClockworkMod Touch 6.0.3.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719744)
- ClockworkMod 6.0.3.6 - Touch and Non-Touch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200501)
ROMs:
- MIUI Official 3.8.16
- MIUI Official 3.7.12
- CyanogenMod 9.1.0 (stable)
what I do:
- boot to bootloader
- flash CF root with Odin (Auto reboot and F.reset Time are checked)
- reboot, then shutdown
- boot to bootloader
- flash CWM with Odin (Auto reboot and F.reset Time are checked) also tried to install with ROM manager
- reboot, then shutdown
- boot to recovery
- wipe data/ factory
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- install zip from sdcard (internal) <-- strange thing here is how fast it is installed, less than 10 seconds...
- wipe data/ factory, cache, dalvik again
- reboot
- got stuck.
- flash samsung stock ROM I9300UBALE6_I9300ZTOALE7_ZTO (brazilian 4.0.4, phone was in that version when installed MIUI first time)
Don't know what to do now, please help!
Does it boot with stock roms?
Please DO NOT flash anything older than 4.1.2 stock...
If all zips opnly take 10 seconds, perhaps theyre getting corrupt on your memory. How are you getting the zips on your phone?

yes, it boot with stock rom.
I just copy/paste files from windows, always done that, but now that you say, md5 is diferent...
I'll check stock ROM and file copy.
Thanks!
It was the file copy messing with the zip...
used adb push and all OK now!
Thanks again!

[Help] Flashing PAC Rom

I don't understand what is it that I might be doing wrong, I root the tablet, have bootloader unlocked, and install Dualrecovery. From TWRP recovery I wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, System, and Data. Install PAC Rom Castor and GApps using TWRP, all seems to go well, no errors present themselves. Then I reflash "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable" to keep the recovery intact before I attempt to boot into system per their instructions after installing a custom ROM. I wiped Dalvik and Cache before I reboot and once it goes away from recovery nothing occurs just my tablet remaining in flash boot which is a good thing so I can start all over again since obviously something went wrong and just use flashtools to get back to an old stock firmware. I have a SGP512. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Even tried it w/o wiping system and same results just doesn't boot.

Your device will never Boot if you flash pac with nuts recovery. It causes to much Problems with cm based roms. So to rescue your tab you need Boot into fastboot and write "fastboot erase recovery" then flash this kernel http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/do...2U3RrS2VybmVsX1dJRkktdjAzXzE3LjEuMS5BLjAuNDAy
Do not reboot to system. Power of the device and then Boot into recovery (when you see the Sony logo and the LED light turns pink/amber/orange keep tapping/pressing VOLUME UP key). Then you will See cwm recovery. There first do a factory reset and Format system. Format system is in mounts and storage options) now flash PAC Rom and gapps and reboot to system now the device should Boot correctly. After the first boot do all settings then go to developer options and you will find expand reboot menu or something Luke this. Tick it and than hold the power button for some second tap reboot than bootloader (before connect the device with your PC) than use fastboot to flash the New recovery. Use one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676
For instructions to flash recovery look in the thread there are a step "Installation" if you need more help write me

Thanks! I used Flashtools to flash over the recovery via fastboot and accessed the recovery to do the rest. I had no idea CM based ROMS don't work well that recovery or any other I haven't tried yet. Any suggestion on what recovery to use? So far CWM got me this far not sure if I should try others. Philz Touch seems to be more appealing and the same as CWM.

Galaxy S3 crazy boot loop

hi everybody.
my phone is booting every time. with odin i installed already twrp and cwm. with twrp I can just see the logo and then the phone is booting again. with cwm, i am able to see the menu but when i try to wipe the phone, the phone starts to boot again.
i installed cyanogenmod via adb but the phone is not starting android.
the last chance i have is to hope that someone of you have a solution.
i uploaded a video to show you what i mean.

Have you tried flashing a stock ROM?
yes. but it is still in the loop.
Flashing in Odin was successful?
After flashing the stock ROM, did you perform a factory wipe before booting for the first time?
thats not possible. i can boot to the clockworkmod recovery but if i choose the option "wipe data/factory reset" the recovery will be closed and the smartphone boots again and open the recovery.
1, download mode and flash an official stock rom (one package) via odin. Make sure it is for your device specifically.
2, Boot to official stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. If the phone reboots after this you need to be prepared to key combo to download mode BEFORE it boots android.
3, Flash the official stock rom again.
All remnants of any previous roms will be gone and you should have a booting phone.
Beamed in by telepathy.
It worked with the stock recovery. Now I was able to install cyanogenmod. Thank you very much!!!

[HELP] Phone shows black screen after boot

Hello, I have a Samsung j2 phone (model j200g) and it shows me a black screen (in place of the Samsung logo) after the boot, and I want a solution from you, I will show you what I did after this problem occurred.
- When this problem occurred, I did not know what to do, so I had to flash it with its own file, and after the success of the flashing process, the same problem remained.
**I tried to flash it several times, but same problem, so I had to flash it with a custom ROM (lineage os 14.1).
-After failed attempts to flash, I installed the recovery module (twrp) and copied the custom rom file (lineage os 14.1) to the phone via otg, I flashed the custom and the installation succeeded. I turned on the phone and the “samsung galaxy j2” screen appeared, and then the custom ROM boot screen came, but here the boot (the circle that rotates for the custom ROM) remained as it was moving indefinitely. I left it for a whole day and it is still in this state.
I want you to solve this problem. I spent days looking for a solution to this problem.
I understand you have flashed full Samsung ROM/firmware BL AP CP CSC from Odin3, then installed TWRP and installed LineageOS on boot + system. In case you haven't already done, disable dm-verity with this zip
https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt
don't forget to format Data (wipe - advanced - format - type 'yes')
