Galaxy Tab stuck on bootup

So I've got a Euro non-carrier galaxy tab - shortly after receiving it I've done an update via Kies and this appears to of bricked the device.
Here is what happens:
Booting normally, the device sits on the Samsung logo and occasionally vibrates. This can go on for hours
In recovery, I get:
update media, please wait
update media, finished
#manual mode#
update application, please wait
check_point2: /data/app is not directory
followed shortly by the recover menu, with the following extra lines:
update application, finished
-appling muti-csc...
installing muti-csc
Now, here are the things I've done that I think are related
OCLF
Root
So - How do I fix this? I've tried pushing a fresh firmware back onto the device via odin 1.7, and this fails:

I'm running on an x64 win7 box btw.
I've tried:
wipe data/factory reset from recovery, which takes me to the screen with the andy and an orange ! in a triangle, but nothing more
the same happens if i try any option from recovery, really.
I welcome any suggestions - I've found a few people having similar issues, but no real luck in trying their solutions.

Oh hang fire guys, 'Phone EFS clear' appears to have fixed it...it's reflashing now in any case..
edit: i take that back, its made no difference at all. Ideas?

Anyone? Please help

Don't panic! As I understand you did OCLF that converted Samsung proprietery RFS into ext4. This means that in order to reflash anything new you would need to convert it back. There is extensive material on how to revert it on XDA, for example in Samsung Vibrant development forum.
Look for it and revert. Then you can use Odin.

I did a similar thing the first time Kies offered me an update for my Samsung Galaxy S, I knew I was supposed to undo the OCLF first but in my haste to sample the new firmware I forgot.. Anyway, you won't be able to fix this with Kies as you'll need to do a full flash with re-partition via Odin. Good luck, I hope you get it working again!

Tried a full flash... now am stuck at the samsung logo...

Try to shut it down holding Power button. Then holding Volume-Up and Power try to boot it into recovery.
If you see text on the screen you can try to select to do full wipe following directions from the Tab screen, then reboot.
Another option is to flash Roto-JME with internal SD formatting. This operation is supposed to restore original RFS file system as well as firmware.
Since I never did this on a top of ext4 files system and I cannot say anything about the outcome.

Thanks will try that. Downloding Roto-JME-FmtIntSD-v2.zip now

Look for the dbdata.tar file on this forum and run Odin again (2nd run)

Got it! It worked. Thanks Adapt0r! Thanks so much!

[Q] help my phone stays at samsung boot screen

i've read through some of the threads but i can't find anything that would help...i was installing a viperrom and now my phone wont go passed the samsung boot screen i can't access the recovery my computer wont even detect my phone how can i fix this

reboot into cwm3 and wipe data,cache ,dalvik x3 then flash rom
my guess iss that you didn't odin before you installed the rom ?

This might sound like a dumb question, but...did you turn off the phone before trying to get to recovery? As in, did you pull the battery so you could actually get the phone off?
If you can't get to recovery, did you try going in download mode and then plugging it in?
The point here is that since you can at least get the samsung logo you're not bricked...because you're still getting a response
Sent from my baked and emotionless SPH-D700

i tried to put my phone in download mode and plugged it in but the computer can't detect my phone when i open odin

just redownload the drivers
Download the 32-bit even if you're on a 64-bit computer
the 32-bit drivers seem to work better install them then restart your computer and phone then retry ODIN
You can get the Drivers in this thread....

ive redownloaded the software and still can't detect my phone

all im able to do right now is get my phone into download mode but odin still can't detect it...or do i only need the .tar file in the pda slot and my phone will receive once its connected ?

do you have another computer you can try?
did you try using diffrent ports to plug your phone in?

lol one of my epics still does it. Does it do this?

You need to rename the file to-

Just delete the b and everything will be fine.

Are you sure your phone is in download mode? (press one and power..)
and dont you need usb debugging on for odin?

Power off your phone, disconnect the cable from both ends, close Odin, boot back into Download Mode, reopen Odin, connect the cable, try again.
Please post questions in Q&A. This is not the Q&A section.

soryy for posting here and yes it in download mode and i have did that already i unplug it alot and plug it back in

Use a non-stock USB cable.

iam useing a blackberry cord

Use these:
Odin/PIT
EC05 TAR
Switch to a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, a different PC.

Have you tried restarting your Computer/ changing USB ports (use the back ones if it's a desktop).

i have those downloaded and i have change everyport and i dont have a diff pc only 1

No. Try a different USB cable, different from the one you're using (don't care what it is). Try Heimdall. Remove the battery from the phone and leave it that way for two hours, then come back and try again. Switch up the order you're connecting between device and PC. Make sure the TAR is in the right place.

ok thanks i will post back in 2 hours i will unplug the batt for a while

Also try to reboot the pc afther installing odin and see if that works
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

And if all else still fails, try running Odin with the battery removed from the phone...
Pull Battery from Phone,
Connect USB Cable to Phone,
Start Odin,
Boot Phone into Download Mode by holding 1 and Power (with battery still removed),
Flash .tar file.
I normally don't have issues when using Odin, but the few times I have had Odin fail on me (in multiple attempts consecutively), I have then been successful by pulling the battery out and flashing again.

What version of Odin are you using? I have been using 1.6 which has always seemed to work. Here is a good place with lots of Odin advice and files:

Stuck in bootloop and not even ODIN wants to work! Help!

Hi,
My wife's phone SM-G935F started to bootloop after a normal update. It goes to the loading screen (IMG 1) and just stays there. The only thing I can do from there is VolDown+Power to reset or Voldown+Home+Power to Recovery mode.
Can't access factory reset mode, and the only other thing i've been able for it to show is the light-blue screen with the "!" simbol and "Try using Smart Switch Recovery..." which didn't work.
IMG1= https://s11.postimg.org/w6vna4mwz/20161029_180455.jpg
I Don't exacly know the region of the phone, but i think it is the Trinidad and Tobago one (International unlocked bought from B&H).
Anyone knows how to know region from a cell you can't boot?
Also don't know if OEM was active or not, but i think this is the problem. If i can't boot the cell, hoy to disable OEM prot?
When I try to ODIN it shows this:
http://postimg.org/image/4yyt2sd1b/
And then it FAILS
I don't know what more to do.
My odin active options are:
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
And the phome screen goes from this:
http://postimg.org/image/qwqoiu2nz/
To displaying this
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/brava/media/20150902_012011_zpsjm9lr9np.jpg.html
Just instead of RECOVERY, it says BOOT.
I successfully updated the bootload so the "!" simbol and "Try using Smart Switch Recovery..." screen isn't showing anymore, but the bootloop is still going. Cant update the AP, CP not CSC.
Anyone has any idea what can i do?
This phone was running Marshmelow, never had been rooted and never used custom roms in it. It was only 3 months old. Think of the children
Thanks

smart switch will work if you download the drivers to your computer. this step is necessary to allow smart switch to see your phone.
then use smart switch, click on more, emergency recovery, then device initialization.
followinstructions, it should take about 5 minutes to recover your phone, if you have input the correct information.

Does the phone needs to be in download mode? or in the loading screen is ok?
Only 3 options I have are:
Boot screen (galaxy screen)
Powered Off
Download mode.
I can't reach any other screens.

This is the case when i try to AD everytime. I'm quite sure my problem is the region of the firmware, but i can't know WHICH firmware to download. I called the US store where i bought it and they told me it was from Vietnam.
Got the Vietnam Stock Firmware (XXV) and it still is "Blocked by FRP Lock" when it tryies to do the recovery.img file...
Anyone knows how to get the region of the phone from the serial/imei or any other meens whith a soft bricked phone?
I tried SmartSwitch but it had the same problem. I think it used the region from the BL/CSC i flashed to it instead of the original one...
Also, the radio from the Vietnam version didn't match my phone...
Any ideas?
I can't take it to the manufacturer, i bought it online from H&M in the US and I live in South America.

Odin fails to flash ROM - SM-T585

Hi all, first time trying to flash a ROM and having difficulties.
I recently purchased a Tab A from Ebay and after a few weeks got round to using it, turned it on and it is saying that it needs the account it was setup with in order to finish the setup.
Tried messaging the seller but haven't got anywhere so thought I just wipe it to factory defaults and try again. But it says this cant be done as the FRP lock is enabled.
So did some reading and found out about Odin and flashing the ROM, so downloaded Odin3_v3.14.4, and ROM making sure it was the right version for my Tab, downloaded USB drivers, put Tab in download mode and loaded Odin running as Admin, loaded the AP file and clicked start then it just fails!!! No message comes up on the Tab just fails in Odin?
I have included log below so can someone please help me. I have screen captures to but cant find out how to add them here.
Thanks

If you are getting the error blocked by FRP lock when flashing then that means you need to enable OEM unlocking which you cannot do since you can't get past the setup screen. You really do not have any option but to return it or message the seller

There is one thing that you can try...
You have to find a combination firmware with the same bootloader version as your current one.
Then, Flash that combination firmware and then flash back to stock. It has worked on some other devices to bypass FRP.
The locked bootloader shouldn't block it because it is still Official firmware.
If that doesn't work then like I said you don't really have any other option...

Ok first download this Odin: https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4952061
And then download this firmware: https://mega.nz/file/Ynow0S7B#mRuSS_qZUKzmRPQHwfVCRv1H09PCHtbu-8J_pqr5_b8
Then flash this firmware in the AP slot and make sure repartition is not enabled.
If you get an error than try this firmware: https://mega.nz/file/IyxlmSCK#MtyhDSad3a_xQypxAvLQU2nS0-RbapT0FvfOq_j27Zs
Then flash back to stock ROM and cross your fingers ?
Edit: If you can't boot into the combo firmware than you can do a factory reset in recovery.
