Stuck in Boot loop

Hi guys :) My Tab 3 SM-t210R is stuck in a boot loop, (it is displaying the Samsung logo and just flashing blue) I have tried all 3 versions that were linked as I was unsure which to use. None of them have worked and I don't know what to do. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it :)

I had the same prob... Wiping fixed it
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] X-weApon-X:
Same here. When I got mine it was knoxed, but it was in Odin Mode already. Searching brought me to this thread where I got the recovery file and I just used Odin to restore it. Rooting it again was pretty easy usung the tutorial for sprint. Much appreciatiin for thus thread!

With so many different devices available now, and that have been made in the past, I'm amazed that I was able to find a thread that dealt with my exact device and carrier even. It's a wonder to look through these threads and see all the various possibilities.

Hello and thank you for your response.

Some of this confusion is probably due to my poor explanation but here are the reasons that this fix doesn't work (in my case):

1 the device is sm-g5308w

2 the deivice only boots to download mode (more detail on that in a moment)

3 Odin does not detect the device and associate a com port

There is more information about the specific mode the phone boots to:

1. Knox warranty void: ox1 (4)

Qualcomm Secureboot: enable (csr)

Ap swrev: s1, t1, h1, r1, a1, p1

secure download: enable​

I've been trying to find some technical info on this mode but seems to be scarce. So, I'm only guessing that AP Swrev stands for AP Software Revision, but the s1,...p1 don't mean anything to me

Secure download: enabled ???

What makes this problem more interesting is that I have two phones of this type: sm-g5308. One was detected by odin and the other was notl The phones don't seem to be identical but they are the same model and running the same firmware.

These are chinese phones and I find very little info on these phones in the Forum. I've been working on this for over a month and so I am somewhat familiar with the posts that I've found so far.

Again, I thank you for taking your time to respond. This is a learning experience for me and I'm sure you have more important things to attend to.

I see so many questions of this type on the fourm but there aren't any solid answers. Unfortunately, there are so many invalid responses that it makes me want to look for an alternative forum - but I haven't found anything good

I think there could be some way to indicate how good an answer is here. Some answers are simply wrong but others might be correct under certain conditions.. When I am done here I will take some time to clarify these issues.

Thank you very much once again

[Firmware] Unbrick &amp; restore Galaxy Tab 3 7in SM-T210R

That's what I meant in my my previous post, there are so many different solutions even with identical devices.

My tablet came to me in download mode as well, the first thing I did was install Keis, the second thing was I installed Odin and restored the original firmware, The link to which I found in another post in this forum.

All I can say if one version of Odin isn't working for you, then try a different version I have 3.07 and 3.09. Mostly I use 3.07 and it works fine.

As far as a rating system for what works and doesn't work, look for the thanks on the bottom of posts. But when it comes down to it you just have to try out different things until something works. And you're not gonna find a more detailed android forum anywhere.

Tab uber BRICKED!

I have a sm-t210r which i had rooted about a year or two ago. I decided to unroot my tab, when unrooting i foolishly used the xac firmware when my tab is from america. After going through the odin process, my tab had a blank screen but the back light was on. When i go in to odin mode i get this..

Odin Mode

Product Name:

Current Binary:

System Status:

Hw Rev.

However the little android dude that is usually there decided to run away. So i downloaded xar firmware for my model and tried to install it using odin. I immidiately got the pit partition not found. So i searched around and found the pit file. When i try to run odin with the xar firmware and the pit file i still get the pit partition not found error. Please, please, please help! i am about to sacrafice my 4 month old to the Samsung gods!

Need help

I am no expert like some of you in the community and I am not novice, I've rooted/installed Roms/ unbricked devices before. I purchased a Samsung Tab 3 T210R that was stuck in the Samsung loop. Upon receiving the Tab 3 I reset to default and wipe cache, it then restated and took me to the set up process if the device (like logging into my Samsung acct, setting up date/time) but it would freeze through the process. So, I then I followed everything stated in this thread*http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2459734*..after following the steps in the thread I got a "kernel panic" message. I followed the task a second & third time using the first two links in Sammobile (Canada and Cellular South), the device now stays in the Samsung loop and sometimes shows a pixelated/ distorted Samsung logo.

Since I bought the device on eBay "as-is", I don't know what Android version was installed, but from the looks of it, it may have been a stock rom. I do know the model number is T210R 8 GB WiFi. I hope you guys can guide me and explain how to fix this issue. I would truly appreciate your help!

I forgot to mention after rebooting it to wipe cache/reset there's a message in red that reads " E: failed to verify whole-file"*

Thanks in advance!

guys please help, i flash my galaxy tab 3 to stock rom via odin, now it won't boot anymore, it only shows black screen when i turn it on, i think it's hard bricked? because it won't get to recovery and download mode, i also try to connect it to my computer but it won't recognized anymore
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] N00BY0815:
First make sure it is charged. Then maybe build yourself a USB plug to put it into download mode. It was just a microUSB plug and a resistor IIRC. Then try again. But really first try charging it over night. If it still won't react to the Downloadmode dongle and your charging attempt, then you should be slightly worried about having a bricked device. Does it react to your charger?

[Galaxy Tab 3 General] SMT210R:
I'm having an issue with my USA WiFi 8GB SM-T210R ~ I slightly remember foolishly trying to get android 5.0 or something onto the device a couple years ago, and have been reading and re-reading this thread every couple of months in hopes that maybe something new would be found out about having lollipop on the device with my firmware.

I tried basically installing lollipop first and then flashing the firmware but unfortunately this didn't work, however it did not brick my device except it would bootloop alot, sometimes not work properly when getting into the nitty gritty (battery screen would only keep rebooting and never display a charging indicator, although the little circle on the battery would constantly flash and then it would try to boot instead of just display the logo with the battery icon and charging symbol but nope, just trys to boot.

I have tried using ODIN 3.07 to flash the two following files with no success each time ~ KIES_HOME_T210RUEAMG4_T210RXACAMG4_1304745_REV00_user_low_ship.tar

KIES_HOME_T210RUEAMK1_T210RXACAMK1_1304745_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5

However when I tried flashing either, it did finish successfully or at least displayed that it did in the ODIN portion but when I went to boot, just the samsung logo flashing and now it won't even flash the samsung logo (I did all this last night before I was going to bed and was super wasted when I did it)

after it told me it did it successfully it brought up the android guy with the progress bar and stuff and finished or whatever and then dun dun da da da dun sounds and now only shows a black screen with the backlight on.

What am I missing here?

I've bricked mine a few times with Odin trying to flash system.img that was smaller than the original system partition.(because of a kitchen) After the partition size changes my backups wouldn't restore, error tarfork, etc. Everytime though ive been able to recover it with my flashable zip for the ROM I did for this device. You can try installing it through TWRP and It might get you going.

Advice Appreciated

Hello,

I recently picked up a Galaxy Tab 3 SM-T217S at a yard sale, figured it would be something for me or the kid to play with. It works and looks new but my issue is it seems it was used and configured for business in its past life. It logs in to a screen with only two tabs both related to business and is locked down beyond the two tabs. I can’t even access settings or the top menu. Task Manager and the other choices using the home button have also been locked out.

I’ve done some research the last few days and downloaded Odin, the T217SVPUBOH1 firmware and USB Drivers hoping I could reset everything back to factory android. My problem is it’s not keeping a connection through USB longer than a fraction of a second. I connect the cable and it disconnects almost instantly, it charges fine through usb and I’m using a data cable, it does show a connection when the cable is first plugged in but disconnects immediately after that. I’ve also tried through sd card and recovery mode but that didn’t work either. It detected the sd card and seemed like it did something but when logging back in went to the same business screen.

I'm not real experienced at this and not sure if this is the right place to post or if anything can be done but if anyone has any thoughts, can point me in the right direction or let me know either way I’d appreciate it.

Update: I've managed to get the USB to stay connected, installing the USB Driver for a 2nd time solved that. I've opened Oden, loaded the MD5 file let it verify and click start. It runs through it's sequence and says succeeded when finished but when I restart it goes back into the same company screen. I've done this twice so far with the same results.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] diesal91:
Well I'm no expert but I think it might be something on the phones system memory Odin reflashes the ddl and bin files the framework of the machine my guess is that you have some sort of launcher app instead of the standard home screen I would try booting into recovery using vol+ home and power button and see if you can factory reset it also what version of Odin are you using

Hi guys!

I was trying to install TWRP with Odin. The process failed (i think it was the wire) and now i cant enter to download or recovery mode and when i try to turn it on, the message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue".

tablet error extraño

I have a problem in updating an official ROM on the tablet tab3, the tablet has a custom ROM installed and I tried to do the following:

1.- Rootearla with the King ROOT application, made with success.

2.- I connected by Recovery and make the format factory and wipes, well after doing it and restart the tablet as if nothing, continues with the same ROM and does not delete any application.

3.- As apparently the recovery did not do anything, I decided to install the TWRP recovery via ODIN to see if it was solved and could leave the tablet as a new factory outlet, even though ODIN finishes all the steps correctly and does not give any errors. After completing everything correctly, I restart the tablet and my surprise that it is not even allowed to update Recovery.

4.- I try again to install an official ROM for this tablet and to do the distribution again by inserting the corresponding pit. In ODIN everything is done correctly and all steps are completed correctly and the PASS message appears in ODIN indicating that the installation was successful, but when it restarts it follows the same ROM.

Can someone help me and tell me how to format the tablet or what happens? Because I do not understand the pass or because it does not leave nor return to factory values ​​nor does it leave update recovery, nor eliminate the root ROM.

If someone can tell me if they have a solution I would appreciate it because I do not know what else to do to the tablet.

Thank you very much

Same problems here while trying to Flash SM-T210

I also tried older versions of Odin v1.87, that gave me the exact same problem as v3.09 with NAND write failure and v1.3 stock at PBL.bin

Yet my Tab3 7.0 8GB has WiFi only, so the chipset would differ from the ones with WiFi and 3G/LTE.

So I was wondering if there's a seperate stock ROM for those tablets with WiFi only, which in that case may explain the cause of trouble, right?

There's also this problem with PIT ... 'get PIT for mapping', is that in any way related to the failures during flashing?

Very Simple

It is very simple, I managed to make a program for rooting this tablet, the script is not mine, I just modded it to work with this tablet.

Step 1. Install Android ADB drivers from adbdriver.com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller.exe , then extract the zip attached to this reply

Step 2. Open RunMe.bat (Make sure you DONT run it as admin!)

Step 3. Make sure your device is unplugged, select method 1, then after "Daemon Ports running" appears plug in the device

Step 4. Follow on screen instructions, it will ask you to make a backup and to restore, this is noremal you will no lose any data

Step 5. If all goes correctly you will SuperSu App on your Tablet

USE THIS AT YOU OWN RISK!!!

Does anyone know how to FACTORY RESET this tablet?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] -Zyto-:
I've done quite a bit of searching, to no avail, but I am having an issue I'd like to find a resolution to, or at the very least, find the culprit. I've been testing some CM10.x builds (not from a single dev, from many) for my Vivid for a few weeks now, and I am constantly detecting ARP Spoof attacks/ARP poison/Man-in-the-middle attacks. It doesn't matter what ROM, if its CM based, it's been happening consistently. I realize the simple fix is to not use those ROMs, how ever I am worried for others out there, and not just my own personal discomfort. So, I am calling for a meeting of minds. Is anyone else aware of this type of issue? Is this an exploit embedded in the ROM, an apk (inspected them and turned up nothing so far), a foothold stored on the SD card, or something else I've not covered? Any information and or assistance will be greatly appreciated. And hopefully, not only by me. I have loads of faith in the devs and mods on here and only with to help. Thanks in advance!

What security suite (that you really don't need) is throwing the warnings?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] -Zyto-:
DNS logs initially, doing it old school. But then I tried DroidSheepGuard on the device for faster notifications. Also tried WiFi Protector. They both have their positives and negatives. But good ol' DNS logs and event viewers never fail me there. Each time, it traces back to my device with the CM10.x ROM. I work in the IT industry, so security is a big part of my daily routine. However, mistakes get made, being human and all. I know there are lots of network test abilities in CM that are great for testing vulnerabilities. But those tools, as I'm sure you know, can be used for nefarious purposes. And with Byod becoming more and more popular, I'd hate to see people or companies fall prey to these attacks (or tests gone awry?). I mean I know to secure my DNS servers, and vlan or segregate wifi networks. Anyway, thanks for the quick response!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
I can tell you that these probably dont mean anything. Do they happen on any of my builds?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] -Zyto-:
Well, the poisoning was bad enough to take down a test exchange 2007 sp2 server, though it was more of a redirection of packets than an actual crash. So, it does concern me. Unfortunately I did get a positive for poisoning when I was running your rootbox, (slick rom, loved it btw) but I later discovered I forgot to clear the DNS cache while running it. So I can't be 100% on whether it was from rootbox, or if it was just already poisoned with the vivid's wifi mac as the destination for the spoofed mac address. I can run another round of tests when I work slows down again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
have you tried these roms stock to make sure no other apps were the culprit?
