Tablet is Stuck..!!

Hey guys,

I recently rooted my Galaxy Tab 2 P3110 , then installed CWM, and then went on to install the Cyanogen Mod 10.1.3. Installation was succesful .I then used the tablet for about 5-6 hrs before i restarted it. Now the tablet is stuck showing the Cyanogen logo. I have waited for an hour and still nothing happened.

Now I can access only the download mode or the stock recovery mode.

Any ideas as to how i can resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance

Flash with Odin your CWM recovery again (the same version you used last) and restore your nandroid backup done with CM10.1x (hopefully you did one)

If this doesn't work, post again and quote just bit of my text so I get the notification. We shouldn't wipe yet at this point to prevent your data loss.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vns1311:
I tried that. But still i end up in the stock recovery mode. I dont have any data. So any other way which includes losing data is also fine.

Also, I havent made a nandroid backup.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
OK, then is easier:

Possibility 1: wipe all (data/factory reset - cache) if advanced exists in 3e recovery wipe also that. Don't reformat. Try to reboot and see if it boots you into the CM or not (bootloop)

Otherwise 2: be sure to use compatible Odin version and flash any stock firmware. After it you can root it again and install CM.

Workflow:

Kies must be dead (kill it in task manqger), download any stock ROM for your Tab version from Samsung, run Odin as Administrator, set firmware under PDA, don't touch anything else in Odin. Run Tab in download mode, connect USB cable, if it gets recognized (id com & added! displayed) run start.

USB debugging on your Tab is hopefully enabled.

hi, I've updated my p3113 tab few months ago to the official 4.2.2, I had major problems after then by being laggy and too slow.

some ppl over here said it's because I didn't do factory reset before the update, because this update was so heavy to be settled on another one.

I couldn't go back to older versions as am not rooted. and not willing to root at the moment.

today I had a notification with a newer firmware update.

so I wanted to make sure should I install it directly or should I do factory reset first and wipe all data first?

they don't supply any information about this update.

thank you

P.S. the update size is 61 mb

Flash Back to BEFORE Update

Hello...

I know you all know how to do this. I need to re-install ("flash"?) whatever was on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 BEFORE this latest firmware update came through the other day. Now my tab will not boot. I think what I need is 4.2.1 ((??)) Not sure.

I downloaded Odin. Now what do I do?

Someone please help...my tab is DEAD.

Hello guys, my brothers tablet seems to have a problem. It cannot connect to the wifi literally. He factory reset the whole thing , and its stocked. But it just randomly happen yesterday when he was playing castle crasher, my tablet seems to be working fine on the router. But the problem is that when i press the button to turn on the wifi, it won't even turn on. It will still disconnect the button. So he cannot even access any wifi or anything. I tried looking around google to find the answer but it seems to be not a problem. My brother hasn't drop his tablet or anything. Its model number is the GT-p3113 if you can help me that would be so grateful thanks.

Hi!,

I've already searched a lot for this and can't find any answers (at least that can understand very well) so......

>I'm trying to change ROM on my Samsung galaxy tab 2 '7 (p3110).... And always have error "E: failed to verify whole-file signature" > "E: signature verification failed"

I've already tried 3 different ROM 's .... And always the same.

Tried from recovery mod and with OdinMobile

I used the .Zip file (like the tutorials says)

All I've done was restore to fabric =/ (because wiped to fabric).... (didn't wipe partition)

My tab is rooted some time ago... And now I can't even update because "can't update because your device is modified"

At recovery mod only have the options to:

-update from external sd

-wipe to fabric

-wipe partition

-update from cache

(and tutorials refers to "INSTAL from....."

Wat I'm doing wrong?

(I leave the info I can and that I think is relevant... Any thing else that may be important just ask)

-Model P3110

-Android 4.1.2

-Kernel 3.0.31 - 812001

Ps: I'm a little noob at this things... And there are some things I'm still struggling to understand... so... There is something wrong with what I'm doing... Our when I've rooted my tab.

Sometimes the device will restore the Stock-Recovery after reboot and don´t apply the custom recovery.

How to fix it?

Flash a recovery.tar.md5 for your device as PDA using odin.

in this case Uncheck Auto-Reboot.

Recover of previous files

Hello to all.

I have a p3113 AV 4.1.1 / 3.0.31-523998 kernel with only 4gb of internal storage

I had problems with my external SD card I transferred it to the internal storage, format ext. card several times then accidently restored my tab and lost all files on the internal storage.

I rooted the tab & I tried android recovery but was unsuccessful in using it.

I would like to retrieve my original files from the internal storage and restore my internal storage from 4gb now to 8gb like before.

All help would be appreciated.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kt-Froggy:
Sorry, can't help you with the data recovery, but your storage amount is just right, if I understand you correctly. This has been discussed in several other threads recently. If you have an 8GB model, you will NEVER get 8GB accessible storage. All you can get is about 4.5GB of usable capacity, that's how the internal storage is partitioned. If you are saying that you used to have 8GB accessible to you, you are mistaken. You never had 8GB.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgwtf2:
Your right, I just thought after restoring it, it created another partition and that the new partition was now smaller and the old partition was now hidden.

and it's not working.

it tells me

PIT file is just a small data that is responsible for the partitions sizes of the system and it gets flashed as first in order during flashing process.

That is why Odin option "re-partition" mustn't be checked unless PIT file is flashed as well: only in that case that option must be checked.

Normally, you will need this file only if the partitions of your custom ROM are different - and you must flash a stock ROM again.

PIT file gets never flashed alone, but within the flashing process of the entire stock-FW
