Problems flashing new ROM to PT7510 Galaxy Tab - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've beeen trying to update the version of android on my old Galaxy Tab 10.1 PT7510 (wifi). I've had some success but hoping someone can help me further.
I didn't take a system back up before I tried this so I've nothing to restore to.....
I have got Odin 3.x working and can successfully use this with the tablet
I've got CWM v5.8.3.1 installed on the tablet and working
I've got:
Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10_1_root.zip (I thought this is the ICS standard version)
AOSP-7.1-p4wifi-2017105.zip (planned upgrade OS) and the equivalent Gapps zip in the sdcard folder
Whenever I try to install the root.zip version the tablet reboots into CWM mode
The AOSP.zip doesn't seem to work
I think this might be because I didn't do something with SuperUser as I didn't understand what to do in the instructions I was following.
I've tried to reflash(?) the bootloader using Odin with the original file but no joy.
I feel close to sorting this but need some help to work out what to do.
Any help greatly appreciated

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 bricked?

Hi I hope someone can help me. I have searched this forum but could not find a similar situation to what I ended up in...
I tried to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using the CWM/Odin.
This seemed succesful but was not, it did not start but was stuck in the Samsung logo.
So I tried entering the CWM and download and install an original Samsung ROM. I can get it into CWM, but CWM cannot enter the download mode only the other mode.
In this mode all options are available:
- reboot
- apply update from SD card
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
All options have been tried without any luck. In the update from SD card it only shows ...
or Error opening /data/media: no such file or directory
Any ideas how I could get this directory back or put a ROM on the Samsung in this situation.
Odin does see the Galaxy but as I cannot get it into Download mode I am unable to download anything to it.
All or any suggestions are very welcome!
1. CWM (Clockworkmod) =! Odin.
In the beginning, you don't have CWM installed. You install CWM, by flashing CWM on your Phone with odin.
Odin is the Windows Programm, that is used to flash Recoveries/ROM's/Kernels onto your device.
2. it seems, that you still have the default Samsung recovery installed, that meand CWM is not yet flashed on your device.
If the flashing process was succesful (I suppose it was done with odin), but you can't get past the Samsung logo, that means, you probably flashed a rom, that isn't made for your device(ex. a GTab 10.1v Rom).
If you DID flash a wrong rom, then you probably ****ed up the partition table and removed the Download Mode(Odin Mode). Strange thing is, that you still have the Stock recovery.
Could you please redirect us to the rom you downloaded?
Also, did you flash with a repartition on and/or a .pit file?
hi Kaukassus,
thanks for the reply.
OK I checked the files and what I did.
I think I totaly screwed this up. It was a theme I tried to install the AOSP_HC_v1.3_3G+KI1.
I rooted the Tab. So first when the Tab was still functioning installed it on the TAB via USB.
Than tried to install this via update from SD card.
This appeared to work initially. But hung at the start.
After that I tried (via Power Volume Up) wipe data/factory reset.
No luck.
After that I tried wipe cache partition followed by wipe data/factory reset.
And this is what I got now..
Bad news is the Tab was/is a X-mas present and I managed to screw it up even before I officially got it !-(
The valuable lesson you're learning is that you need to be aware exactly what things you're flashing and their compatibility with your device and the software it's running.
You haven't mentioned what specific device you're using or the specific things you've tried to flash (as kaukassus pointed out, direct links to threads where you got the files you tried to flash are best). Not sure if you're aware but not all GT 10.1's are equal; there are several models out there and each and every ROM is specific to a particular device. Verizon LTE GT 10.1's like mine can't take ROMs from any other device for example, it's likely that the new T-Mobile 4G one's wont be able to trade ROMs with Verizon ones . . you get the point.
When you say you installed via USB what exactly did you mean? If you simply copied a zip file via USB to the tab to flash in recovery mode that's not installing; the flashing from recovery may be but the file copy operation is not. If on the other hand you pushed things via ADB or you flash using Odin software then that's a different story.
Best thing to do at this point is to properly identify your device, look for a stock recovery image for Odin and flash that via Odin to your device. At that point you can start from scratch again to build what you want.
Thanks Muzzy996.
You are right. I was in a rush and should have taken more time.
However I am getting somewhere. Managed to get in download mode twice today, don't ask me how. This Tab just will not go into download mode!
However I did not have the stock ROM ready to be installed.
Will keep you updated.
i have the same problem. i just rooted my device was going to overclock. decided to save my rom with rom manager. saved it device went to reboot now the samsung galaxy 10.1 shows up screen goes dim then shuts off, and will cont. do this. i can get into download mode but recovery will not work. is there anyway to download my stock rom. im using verizion 4g 10.1 any help would be great, btw sorry to thread jack
Problem solved.
Managed to get it in download mode again and install stock rom via Odin.
Appeared to work fine. But kep switching off, even after full night of charging.
This morning Tab was dead after recharging whole night..
Got it back on by holding volume down and power button down.
i found a stock rom and im trying to upload it via odin, however odin does not find my tab? any ideas. btw congrats on getting ur tab back
I crashed both my I9000 (galaxy s) flashing custom roms and my tab 10.1 (editing some system files) both ended up just looping but managed to get both back. I purchased a small connector of ebay £1.59 that has just a resistor accross pins 4&5 331k I think anyway plugging this into most samsung devices boots them into download mode. Even before getting my resistor I managed to get things working I think that you'd have to be properly unlucky to really brick a samsung I've flashed both my devices with all sorts of crap with my little resistor I just reset them with ease.

[Q] Issue with installing custom Rom on GT-P7510

I have read all the instruction i can find on installing a custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi, and once i get to the point of installing zip with ROM it fails. I dont know why its failing, and i think i am missing something. I have TWRP recovery installed and was trying to update with CM 10.1 or 11 but neither would work.
If someone could eith provide a detailed list of steps, i can see if i missed something or maybe someone else has encountered this problem and can advise. When i install from zip it tried so install and then an few seconds later is says failed and then i have to restore using NANDROID backup to have atleast a working tablet
Thanks for the help
Maybe you have an old version of TWRP. For cm11 you need version 2.6.3 or later.

Try updating your twrp to a newer version for your tab. If that falis you could try using cwm. I've used it to install my roms including cm11 and other kitkat roms that supposedly require twrp without any errors.

Need recovery help

Hey guys, I dug out my old i605 the other day and wanted to update to the latest cm nightly for the device. Not realizing I was about to do something wrong, I downloaded an app called Flashify and installed the latest cm recovery through the app. Well this made my device boot loop. So now, I need to flash a working recovery to my device to fix it. After googling for a bit, I learned that I need Odin to do so. So I am now using Odin v3.10.7. But, I cannot get any recovery tars I've found to flash. They all come back as failed. I'm at a loss here and hope someone knows how to get this thing back up and running.
My PC is on Windows 10 and I do have the latest Samsung drivers installed. On my Note 2 in download mode, it says my current binary is Samsung Official and my system status is custom. What I do not know is what recovery and firmware my i605 was on previously.
Thanks guys
EDIT: I guess what I'd really like to do is get the device back to stock rooted.
Edit 2: Fixed the problem. Uninstalled the Samsung drivers and reinstalled them and changed to Odin 3.07. Ended up restoring the device with the unlocked bootloader restore here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

Galaxy Tab S3 stuck in Bootloop, gues I need Android 9 Backup File :(

Hi all,
I sadly followed an outdated Flash Manual on my S3 running Android 9 (used a Manual for 8). I succesfully installed TWRP and still have a working ODIN connection. Installing a clean Original Rom does not work though. Always aborts with an error message. My TWRP Backup Image seems to be corrupt also. It installs it back then my Tablet even starts but says it has to be restarted with default settings and when i do so it gets stuck in the bootloop again.
So my big hope is someone here can help me out with an Android 9 stock or maybe any other backup from TWRP to maybe get it back to the old state. Thanks in advance.
I do have a stock 9 for T825 in several parts directly from sammobile.
Would you mind writing which device you've got?
Which TWRP do you use.
Which Odin Version did you try it with?
Which original ROM did you try it with (where from, version aso) and why do you think another one would do the trick?
A backup from another device would'nt help afaik.
