4.4.2 stuck on boot screen

I have tried a few different 4.4.2 roms on my P5113 and I can't get any of them to work. I always get stuck on the boot screen. Does this rom take a long time to boot when it is first installed and if so about how long? Now that I tried 4.4.2 I can only revert back to a few different roms. So far I can only go back to AKOP 4.1.1 and CM9. Is anyone else having this problem and if so what do I do to fix it? I have followed all this install step so I don't know what is going on. I guess I at least have a working tablet on 4.1.1 which works just fine for me right now.

[MENTION=752811]Op3a[/MENTION] I moved here for we were getting off topic. The fastest ROM I tried on my P5110 is SlimBean with blackhawk's 2.1.5 kernel OC'd to 1.4 GHz. Tab 2 is a sturdy piece of hardware and there are no problems with it. It is faster than any KK rom, also AnTuTu score confirms me my feeling.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swatpro004:
Hello,

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" (GT-P5113) running stable CM 10.1.3, and am gearing up to move to CM 11. I've been doing my reading, and understand I need to update my bootloader in order to do this (per: "Bootloader flashing guide for P511x users").

The aforementioned post indicates that one should be sure they flash the "correct version for your Tab model", which makes sense.

However, the CM 10.x install guides explicitly say to use GT-P5110 installers, because the IR blaster is a no-go in CM, and thus the difference between the two is for all intents and purposes non-existent.

My question is,

while updating my bootloader in Odin, do I flash P5110 or P5113

? I haven't been able to find any data on this one way or another, but I don't want to brick something obviously. The guide I was looking at doesn't even list a P5113 file, so I'm inclined to believe I just flash P5110, but again...better safe than sorry.

Thank you kindly.

-e- This question applies for Clockwork Recovery, too. Am I fine flashing either P5110 or P5113? Or does it have to be one or the other?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=5556421]Swatpro004[/MENTION] if your last stock firmware was any JB, you already have a JB bootloader. Skip then this risky step.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swatpro004:
centace lovers

First, thanks.

Second, I thought I was prepared, but I guess not.

I'm now encountering Status 7 error upon CM installation, which I understand is due to incorrect CWM version, which I initially did have. However, I flashed two separate 6.0.4.5 CWM's, including the shakatu recovery version, and am still receiving the status 7 error, despite ensuring I clear cache/dalvik, and format. I should also note that CWM indicates I am in fact on 6.0.4.5. I also tried enabling permission checking/redoing everything, but that doesn't seem to have worked either. Additionally, I've tried installing two separate nightlies, to no avail.

Am I missing something critical?

-edit- I rebooted back into CWM, and somehow it worked and I was able to install CM. No idea what transpired in that reboot, but I'll take it. Sometimes you can't question the voodoo magic.

update advice please

Hi guys

P5110 I am running 4.1.1 rooted (via CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110) and seriously looking for an update

Please forgive an amateur but I have the following questions:

1. with my current settings can I just flash any rom for example kitkat omnirom ? or what steps do I have to take before that?

any hints, links to tutorials please

2. which android would you recommend - I am asking because I am a minimalist and go for the slimmer versions of things

for example I read somewhere that a certain android version was just bloated and would be so much slower to run on my Tab (hardware)

so which is the ideal android version for the P5110

3. which rom could you recommend - again to make a minimalist happy and keep speed up...

I would so much appreciate your expert senior wunderkind advice! I admire all of you. a real fan but only learning

THANK YOU:cool:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freinet:
1.For kk roms you need latest recovery. This you have to flash first. Find howto here in xda.

2.-3. You should try. If you hve recovery, make first backup, then you can go back if you want. Nobody can recommend you a rom, because every rom has it's own advantages and disadvantages. I would recommend you for example CM11. If you flash it with core or minimal gapps.

Dhollmen is ok too and SlimKat also.

But what I say, try all out.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=4737241]Shyonnu[/MENTION] you should now just update your recovery to the latest PhilZ or TWRP.

You might like SlimBean, it is a 4.3.1 rom, smaller and faster than any KitKat already as stock.

Flashing a blackhawk 2.1.5 kernel with proprietary-vendor-samsung blobs and OC to 1.42 GHz will give you rock stable performance and Antutu score of nearly 12.000 what is out of reach for any KK rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
Thanks heaps so I will go and get my "homework" done then ask you guys again. so first recovery then one of those mentioned kk roms (slimbean looks kind good so far...) but

In the meantime what is "Flashing a blackhawk 2.1.5 kernel with proprietary-vendor-samsung blobs and OC to 1.42 GHz" - is that on top of recovery and rom? sorry about my ignorance
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
You should go to blackhawk kernel thread and you will find all info. Yes, it is flashed on top of the ROM in recovery mode without any wipe. Kernel consists out of two parts, blobs must match the Android version.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
just checking

I have managed to find a few things but I really don't want to brick my device so here are my questions:

•	I have ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7 Installed. Can I use it or do I need either Philz 6.22.9 tar or TWRP 2.4.0.0 (P5110)?

•	I found blackhawk-next-kernel-2.1.5-p51xx + proprietary-vendor-samsung + proprietary-vendor-samsung-4.1.x Do I need both blobs?

•	Do I need to do ANY wipes (full, cache partition, dalvik) if any which ones?

•	Is this the right order to do things in

1.	Recovery mode

2.	Any wipes (?)

3.	Flash Blackhawk + blobs

4.	Goggle apps

5.	Reboot

Last question: is OC to 1.42 ghz OVERCLOCKING and how do I do this?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Bravo, we are getting closer now :)

* download zip files of all needed files: SlimBean, SlimGapps, PhilZ, kernel 2.1.5 and only first mentioned blobs (they work for 4.3 roms, other blobs are for earlier JB roms)

* click to zips with any root file browser just to make sure they open- so not corrupted by the download

* use rather TWRP or PhilZ instead of CWM. Both are touch recoveries and format more reliably than CWM. PhilZ 6.22.9 is very recent and can flash even KitKat, all other mentioned by you are outdated

* so boot into recovery mode, flash PhilZ (now still in CWM 6.0.2.7) and reboot recovery (advanced) to get into the PhilZ recovery

* if you want to use your present ROM ever again, create a nandroid backup with your new PhilZ now

* make factory reset/clean to install new ROM (this will not wipe your internal storage)

* flash SlimBean.zip

* flash kernel.zip

* flash proprietary-vendor-samsung.zip

* flash SlimGapps for JB roms.zip

* reboot and enjoy SlimBean and its dark Slim mode :)

* after login to your Google account all your apps will get installed automatically (let your Tab few minutes of time for it) and when it is finished, install STweaks app. You will can manage all the kernel functions with it. If you install PhilZ blackhawk version, you will can use your stock ROM (as it is also a JB rom) for example in the second partition. You can simply restore your previously made nandroid backup of it to either of the partitions and flash the blackhawk 2.1.5 kernel over it right after, and after that you would need to flash also the second blobs ( proprietary-vendor-samsung-4.1.x). Then you could boot to any of the ROMs within a minute :D

thanks a million - nearly ready to go

just 2 small questions left:

do i overclock before or after upgrade? (found a video tutorial with files https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2H4s3rsfRg

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
There are only these gapps for SlimBean:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1146-addons4-3

I assume, you have downloaded SlimBean 4.3 rom zip already?

Overclocking after the upgrade, by using STweaks app (as I wrote you). Wait with it for about 10-15 minutes, exactly the time your Tab will need to restore all your apps. The new system needs always about that time to stabilize. Forget that video, it is too old and not for your ROM.

4.3 is Slim (Jelly) BEAN

4.4.x is Slim (Kit) KAT

SlimBean is the right build for you :) it doesn't have to be maintained anymore, as it is perfectly working meanwhile.

You wanted fast ROM and SlimBean is faster than any KitKat even without OC.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyonnu:
whoooeee

Amazing - it worked like a charm, flawless and fast. The only thing that doesn't seem to work out is the OC with STweaks as the apk shuts down and says "no root or timed out". Can I use another apk?

Again I have a new tab, many many thanks for giving me a lift!:highfive:
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:

You should just enable under /settings /developer options root acces for "ADB and Apps"

First go to /settings /about tablet and click build number 7 times to make developer options visible

After that, all root apps will work, also STweaks

It is fast now, true?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
Blackhawk 2.1.6 = KitKat

Blackhawk 2.1.5 = Jelly Bean

I have told you what is my opinion, to leave dual boot for later. Check always the opening post for the installation. Kernel is usually provided as zip file that gets flashed in recovery without any wipe. You should read if ketut.kumajaya recommends to flash the blobs right after the kernel. Otherwise, the AGNi kernel by psndna88 works also great.

Endless boot loop

The problem is that the tab constantly reboots.

If plugged into the wall or the pc the battery charge icon shows on the screen then goes off then or then off.

Also you can hear the pc sound when it finds a usb connection then sound again when the usb connection is lost.

If unplugged from the pc or charger the Samsung galaxy tab logo displays on the screen, then goes off, then on, then off.

You can however enter the Recovery / Service mode by pressing power and volume down.

the menu shows briefly but up/down volume do not operate the menu

then the tab reboots back to endless Samsung logo.

Any advice so that I can use odin to reflash or any other means

Tab is a GT3110 non-root and has never been flashed or rooted

Hi there peeps,

just like to say thanks for the help so far and apologies if i'm not making myself very clear.

I tried as you suggest but when plugged in it shows battery symbol with no charge on constant reboot loop

When NOT t shows samsung logo on constant reboot loop

The Tab does not switch off altogether, it always shows either battery or samsung logo

it remains on some kind off boot loop until battery drains.

Once drained and plugged in again shows boot loop again

I can press power and vol down which takes it to the screen pictured on previous post.

If i take my fingers of all buttons when this happens the tab WILL reboot back to the Samsung boot loop after approx 2 seconds

So i can get to the option screen but cannot press vol up to continue because the tab reboots automatically.

I could upload a youtube vid but i cant post links :( because Ive not made enough posts or something :(

Sorry, I was unclear: when the Tab is turned off, press two butttons together: the power button AND volume+

As soon as Samsung splash screen appears for the second time, release the power button and keep the volume+ still pressed. After some seconds, the recovery mode should appear.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tetakpatak:
This sounds to me similar like either if wrong kernel was installed (can't be by your 100% stock tab), or like there is a corrupted data partition. Kernel can't boot the system if it can't load data. That very same thing happens now on the brand new Nexus 7 tabs by unlocking the bootloader, on many N7 tabs, data will be corrupted right after the unlock and bootloop there is.

But in your case it might be also some hardware related problem. Do you still have guarantee?

Did you try the trick to press volume+ imediatelly after the screen from early posted photo appears? If you bring it into the download mode, it will maybe remain stable so you can flash something :) ???
