Hi.
1) When you connect your Tab to the PC does ODIN recognize it? As in in one of the little boxes it should say something like "COM4".
2) Is your tablet is in download mode? This displays the green android with what I think is Metatron's Cube as its heart.
3) Are you making sure that the .tar file is being placed under PDA?
3) Do you get the green box at the completion of the flash?
4) Can you get past 3E recovery to the Samsung logo then to your home screens(s)?

I have same problem with P5113
I am having the same problem with my P5113. The answer to questions 1, 2 and both 3's is yes. For question 4 if your asking can I reboot to stock and use the tablet then that is a yes also. Like yuiaddict I have followed the step just as they are written several times without sucess. I have 4.0.4 installed.

{HELP!!} Theme Bricked my Wifi Only Tab

Hello, a theme ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328950 ) did brick my device, am using Task650 version 10 ROM WiFi only model 16GB, i installed the "Layers In Paris V3 theme zip file over his rom and now my device get passed the the booth animation, i wiped/reset factory setting, wiped dalvick, cache, and wiped system, it wouldnt get passed it, now i formatted system from recovery and it won't get passed the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 writing you see when you power the Tab on, i need help on what to do because i can't even access the memory to load a ROM zip to reflash it.

So the question is this too

Please i need help here
Well you've just learned rule #1 the hard way. Always do a nandroid backup from CMW.
You could restore back to stock using ODIN. All the files you need are in the How To Root thread.

Odin restore will return your device (ROM AND RECOVERY) back to stock. Just boot your tab into download mode then connect to your computer with odin running and you will see a yellow box showing your device is connected. If it doesn't detect it, you need to get the correct drivers.

Try going into download and Odin flash the stock ROM again.
If the stock ROM flashed correctly, after up to a 10 minute wait, it should boot into the stock ROM. Then you will go into download again, Odin flash either the recovery from that link or the newer recovery from the below link. You should be able to place the Rom of choice on the SD and flash through recovery.

Recovery Mode?

How does one get into custom recovery mode for the Sprint Galaxy tab?
I can't Clockwork into recovery, it takes me directly into the Android Stock recovery, so...basically, I've no idea how to flash a ROM on this.
Any help?

You do not use recovery to flash ROMs on the Tab. You use heimdall from your desktop. Samsung devices are different from most other Android devices. You can use Clockworkmod to do backups and restores. If you have Clockworkmod installed on your Tab, the only way to get to it is through software on your system. Trying to boot to it only takes you to the stock recovery.
EDIT: You can flash ROMs from CWM. See below posts.
I'm confused, this thread mentions clockwork a couple of times (for example, the thread that explains how to get EXT4 on your tab says that you must press up+power to get into Clockwork in order to flash it).
All I need is a simple guide from anyone here or a pointer to where I can get clockwork. I've used Odin before, but not Heimdall, so I don't know how I'd go about installing a ROM that way.
This is the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031)
I beg to differ. I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on my Sprint Galaxy Tab and flashed it using CWM 5.0.2.7. I used heimdall to flash CWM, and after that I can flash roms all day long from recovery. Check over at rootzwiki, everything you need is detailed over there.

Just to be sure you are setting the Tab into Download mode before connecting to your PC/Laptop right? ...i.e. turn off; press and hold volume up + power on.

Hard reset is slightly different to factory reset. Wiping internal sdcard I believe, and possibly more

I don't know how to fix this problem
I'm pretty sure a factory reset from settings doesn't touch /system. If you messed up something in there (such as LCD density) your best bet is to flash a stock ROM through Odin. There's a thread in the dev forum that has links to download all the stock firmwares and instructions on how to use Odin.

You should have told the exact problem before.....
Follow the post suggestion above and all will be fine if you follow the guide exactly.
Just make sure you flash P6800 firmware for P6800 & P6810 firmware for P6810.
If you can, factory reset and wipe cache etc in recovery first, then immediately boot into download mode and flash the stock firmware with Odin.

It may or may not work.
My advice to you is to follow the proven guides using Odin 1.85.
Ensure Kies drivers are loaded, but kies not running with using Odin at the same time. They don't play well together.

and I can't get it in download mode because I am disabled guy I can't push buttons to get to in download mode
Is your tab rooted yet?
If yes;
And you don't have extended power menu or similar with download mode, recovery etc included, you can download reboot widget from Market (Google Play) and config indiviidual one touch widgets to homescreen for reboot, download, recovery etc. Should make life a little easier......
I wouldn't recommend trying the method shown (edit: in you video) as not for our device.
yes rooted
thank you this widget, I can't use widget for this problem because the LCD Density Modder Pro v2.4.2 broke my tablet.
I was very silly to use app
I tried to make bloody text big lol
So please explain what exact state of your tab? Aslo your model no. and current firmware?
What the tab can and can't do, also yourself?
Just a guess at this "blind" stage that maybe your buildprop file is messed up.
Is it possible to boot into recovery? (yes I know same buttons, but just asking anyway)
I don't know what is version of current firmware. I just got the tab last week. I got the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" P6800 3G WiFi
I can do push buttons ok but I can't push 2 buttons all same time.
I am computers geek i have lot of experience with windows operating [3.1/11, windows 98/me/xp/Vista /7] and little bit of android
the tab can boot up [passed lock screen ok but it gives a error ]] I can't go pass this error.
yes can go into the recovery mode
question
where I can download firmware for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" P6800 3G WiFi?
and
where I can download the Odin
I was wondering if possible Enter recovery mode and downloading mode from command line from pc?
if possible, it will be GREAT

Suppose it doesn't matter if you just want your tab up and running and workiing. Had an idea of just pushing the stock build.prop file to your system directory, but you don't know what firmware version....
Since you can go into recovery, do you have a CWM Recovery and nandroid backup? If so, just flash that back. Wipe data, cahe, format system, advanced/dalvik immediately BEFORE

Yes, if you are familiar with ADB and have it setup already, will be easy
If not, there are guides on the internet for setup and use.
Power up phone;
In CMD type: adb devices
This will check device can connect to PC through ADB CMD - will return device serial no. if ok)
1. In CMD type: adb reboot recovery
2. Wipe & Flash nandroid backup
or
1. In CMD type: adb reboot download
2. Ensure SDamsung drivers are installed to PC
3. Ensure KIES is NOT running
4. Connect phone to PC and wait for driver initialisation
5. Run Odin
6. READ & Follow guide, link to I posted exactly and you should be ok

Dont' understand why this isn't working.

"Failed to initialise protocol" on my terminal after doing the step 5
help anyone?
Hi there,
SO after I went through the root process (from galaxynote2root dot com) terminal worked fine however the device will not boot up CWM. It only boots into standard android recovery mode. I switched on my phone, downloaded a root checker app and it says it my phone isn't rooted. I can't even use Triangle Away to reset my custom binary count.
I am a noob, yes, but it's not my first rooting a phone. I followed the instructions perfectly but this problem persists (and increases my custom binary count) AND I know I'm not the only one with this problem.
HELP please.

installing custom rom
can i install custom roms after this method of rooting.. please help me regarding this
hey zedomax,
I used this method to root my phone, but I'm having trouble installing stock recovery (I think) to get OTA updates.
I followed the stock recovery /unroot guide on your page (after a few tries, because it didn't seem to want to bring up the cwm menu at first). But using that cwm i installed the zipped recovery.
The problem is that when i go to the upgrade menu under the phone settings, it just keeps "searching for updates" but doesn't ever find anything. I used Kies 2 - which did show that i can update my firmware - but it also gave me an error that i have "custom software" and wouldn't let me continue on with the upgrade.
thoughts / help?

this method worked fine under 4.1.1. i am now convinced this method is not compatible with 4.1.2 for osx users. i have not yet heard of ANY osx users who have rooted a 4.1.2 note2.
