I found my old galaxy tab s t700 and tried resetting it. I had a custom rom and recovery, and now it's looping on the "teamwin" logo which flashes every few seconds. Not sure what to do as it's been years since I've flashed anything. I just want to get my tablet up and running with the latest software available for it, please help

Hi, if you wanna get back to the latest Stock ROM available, simply flash it using Odin3 Tool.
You should try to get the Stock ROM from somewhere else than Sammobile though, because their download speed is a pain in the a$$ haha

Thank you, yeah I'm trying to find another download because I don't want to pay $7.99 just to download something once, and the regular member download speed is going to take forever..

Hi guys, just new to these forums. I was forced to sign up due to my problems. just about 2 days ago i flashed these to my Galaxy Note Korean unit (SHV-E160S):
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip
Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09recovery.tar
i used Odin to flash the recovery file then booted into recovery mode to flash the kernel.. im sure i did right because i was able to use superuser and change my boot animation. unfortunately i found another update to the .tar and .zip file. i'm pretty sure its for my phone too so i went ahead and did the same thing. i kinda made a mistake in the process, i think i wiped the cache and all. dunno if i wiped partition but in the end i am only able to go to recovery & download mode. the Note will power up but won't get past the "Galaxy Note" screen. after that i will just be black. it's weird because it can still connect to Odin on my laptop although the screen is still black. is it a soft-brick? right now i'm trying to download an ICS stock rom and will try flashing it with Odin. i someone can help me please do. sorry by the way if this is a Korean Galaxy Note. this is the best category i could post since the AT&T and the SHV-E160S are the same in specs and all. hope someone could help me and spare me the pain from sending my unit for repair!
Sounds like a soft brick.. it seems you flashed perhaps the wrong file the last time otherwise it would be working like the last flash? ..I don't use odin often but I would restore my backup or just start over and use the last files to flash until you find something different
yeah i tried the others. i am able to flash the 1st recovery.tar but i cant seem to copy the .zip kernel because i dont have access to usb
about to flash stock ICS using Odin, hope this works! i just have one file which is a .tar file, hope this is the right file and don't brick!
OMG, i just pissed my pants *kidding*, the flashing of the stock ROM worked! and not onl that, i'm on ICS! all thanks to xda=developers forum for giving me the idea to flash a stock ROM! thanks guys! i'll never root my phone again i'd rather stay safe. thanks for the reply friend! ICS rocks!
Could you give me stock ics rom for e160s? thanks

I'm having a similar issue
I was using my phone and it notified me of a new update (CM9 Nightlies) when i told it to flash the new update ROM Toolbox stopped responding and i got the |Wait|Report|Ok prompt. Then the screen started flashing ever so slightly like it was trying to send the prompt into the background. The phone then immediately shut down and now when i try to boot it shows "Samsung Galaxy S II " and then the screen goes black , then the screen will flash black , hardly noticeably , and when i pull the battery immediately when i insert the battery it tries to boot. Also cannot get into CWM or Download.

I realize you're probably a little paniced, but you should not post multiple threads on the same issue. It's against the rules. Please look at your other thread, and wait until someone who know CM9 to help you.

Another victim of the galaxys2root website and tools. You can recover your phone. What firmware was on the phone before you flashed that galaxys2root file?

I think the safest thing to do is flash back to stock UCKH7 gingerbread. If you'll give me a few minutes, I'll download that file and look at it to see exactly what you need to do to recover. Please stand by for a little while. I'll try to get back as soon as I know what that is.
Edit: It looks like it is Task650's aokp. If that is the case, flash back to either straight stock with How to Prepare Your Phone to Return to the Store or for Warranty Replacement or UCKH7 stock plus root with How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!!. Use the second one if you plan to reflash a rom, and follow the guide to install a Gingerbread custom kernel. And let me know if that goes ok.
I have the Korean SK Samsung Galaxy Note. I tried to root it tonight using the galaxy note II dev kit (was that my first mistake?) I picked the model number closest to mine and did everything as recommended. I got up to the Odin tool and followed those directions to a tee, but after that it just got stuck on the Samsung logo and wouldn't go anywhere after I closed the Odin tool.
I got the bright idea to hold the power button and the top volume buttton to hard reset. Now it is stuck on a drained battery screen with the loading logo just frozen in the middle of it.
Help?

what happens when you pull battery?
can you get download mode?
ALWAYS check your "Super Everything Thread".... it's in the General Forum. post#3 deals with Korean model
flashing wrong firmware usually results in brick. if you can get download mode, from what I understand, your OK.
go to super everything / rooting / read / read / read............I thought d/l mode was vol down and power. could be wrong.
follow instructions and let us know what happens. nothing worse than offering advice and not knowing if you helped.
Thanks for the advice. I did finally get into download mode but I can't really figure out what to do now. I think I just want to go back to stock. I tried doing it through KIES but that isn't working. If I use Odin, will it work?

don't let one bad experience ruin it.
not many are willing to follow the advice. I know your new here. the advice is always read, read, read. feel as confident as you can in what you are doing. it took me the better part of a month to work up the courage to flash anything.
first thing.............get rid of the Note 2 file that you flashed. don't need to go through that again.
read super everything again and again if needed. get all the files you need together. walk through the processes in your head.
you should have Odin opened up when you go into D/L mode. wait for phone to register "com #?"
make sure you run Odin as "administrator"
go slow..........its a marathon not a sprint. whats you hurry.
check Youtube for a tutorial......make sure everything is for YOUR model
---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------
Odin is the best and easiest way to return to stock, but you still have the same process to go through
Okay I tried to flash stock with Odin through download mode and everything seemed to work perfectly. It boots past the Samsung logo but NOW it gets stuck on the spinning T (I think it's a Korean thing) that is floating in space. Ugh, this is so frustrating.
I just want to get my phone back to normal at this point...

the T may be a Korean thing??? couldn't tell you for sure.
I may have gotten stuck at a similar point with my model.
I think 1 time I ran the Odin again and maybe another time I pulled battery and rebooted. but you have movement. we have had some files lately that just take longer to completely boot up.
patience
How long are you waiting for the spinning T to go away? It may take several minutes. Give it some time. And you are trying to install the stock SHV-E160 ROM and not something close?

I'm trying to install the 160S rom from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899200
I've left the spinning T for about 20 minutes. SIt flashed okay in Odin but nothing is moving forward. I keep reading about the Tegrak rom and Clockwork recovery but I don't really know what those are. Should I try to read up more on that and try to that?
I'm not sure how that would work. I never saw or installed a rooted ROM using odin. I would think you would need a custom recovery first since all versions of superuser require it. Just guessing. So you have the E160S version? Try to use google to find a 100% stock (non rooted) ROM to install using Odin. I tried to search myself and found many links but was unable to read because of the different language. Maybe you will do better.
Also what version of odin did you use? Try to use the latest version 3.07
Root and recovery have nothing to do with each other.
You can be rooted with stock recovery,
Or have a custom recovery without root.
I've released a pre-rooted custom Rom .tar for use from going from bones stock to that Rom.
Not saying this isn't broken, just that it's doable.

I've used 3.07 and 1.85 trying to flash the rooted rom I posted. I haven't been successful in finding a 100% stock ROM either. I do have E160S. I will keep looking for a 100% stock ROM
Hi, Sorry to post here, but there isn't a section for the 8.9 tabs. That I found.
Ive been trolling all night and morning here and other sites trying to find a solution to my problem, and apparently from what I've seen, no one seems to get an answer to this question or the same for the 10.1 tab
I have The Galaxy Tab 8.9 SGH i957D (Telus) LTE 4G.
Using both Odin 3.7 and 1.83 I have tried to root using SGH-rooted-kernel-V2 from a couple of sources and all I get on reboot is the 2 splash screens, then it just sits on a black screen with the backlight on.
After a few attempts with either version of Odin, I tried CWM recovery, this flashed successfully also, and I can get into CWM recovery and Download mode, but still cannot get past the splash screens.
I have tried the stock ROMs a couple of times and different custom images (DaGrootkernel, DaGOCkernel), but still can't get past the splash screens. My battery drained over night, and I have it charging now in download mode, as otherwise it just loops continuously buzzing and lighting up, but still the same issue, I can't even turn it off as it just reboots as soon as I try.
From what I've seen on here, there are a few of us that need a solution to basically the same issue.
Please... Could one of the gurus on here give some advice as to what us noobs need to do with our semi bricked tabs?
Thanks.

Thanks, I'll have a look there. Just flashed successfully with Odin 3.7 and openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1-sgh-i957.tar. open recovery work great, but still no boot past the splash screens.
the file you used is only for changing your recovery leaving your android os wonky. find a original stock rom for your tablet and flash that with odin...that will bring all back to stock. then you can reflash the custom recovery and then install custom roms if you want
simple way of understanding android is to think of it as a pc
recovery = bios
stock or custom rom = windows..linux..etc...
hope this helps

Thanks a lot, that actually cleared things up a bit. Can I read the recovery off my wife's identical tablet and use that? Can that be done with Odin, or what would I need to read that?
Thanks.

have a nice day
im using cm12 archidroid 3.5.14 and decided to update to 3.5.15 version last night. but the update didnt went well, something went wrong and i got 'recursive' error, and it started to boot loops.
i tried so many solutions, i odin this and that and nothing worked. i downloaded cwm 6.0.0.47 i think, and managed to install the AD rom, but now im stuck at languange selection, i cant select anything because screen support isnt working
what do i do now?
Samsung S3 i9300
You did "odin this and that"? That's never a good idea. Just saying...
I would try to flash latest AD again but with a proper up-to-date recovery e.g. latest TWRP after making a nandroid backup.

Well then, if you already flashed stock rom via odin, your data is already gone. Make sure your phone is working on stock first now. Please be aware that the first boot after each rom flash might take up to 15 min or so because the cache has to be built at first boot!
You can find the link to TWRP recovery in my signature (see My Gadgets). I suggest your read the tutorials that are linked there also for more information.
thanks again, glad to hear there's still hope. i will do as you advised.
So, in order to get stock firmware flashed and running, can i use twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar from your signature?
1st i odin the twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar, and then reboot into download mode, and odin firmware stock?
in that order? i havent done this in a long time, i've been using AD for so long without any problem, i dont really exactly remember how. i just concern about the touch screen not functioning, i really hope no hardware failures. i never experience anything like this, even in recovery mode, the touch screen doesnt work, i had to flash entire process using up/down and power button
right now i havent done anything since the last attempt ( flashed stock rom, and stuck at samsung logo )
currently., im charging the battery, will try get it up and running after the battery is full
thanks mate
