why not try download mode after battery pull and reflash

the problem is that the rom doesnt come with a kernel with clockworkmod or whatever, and i cant put it into it!

You don't want recovery, you want download mode to re-flash.

Exactly!, just reflash a working rom or an earlier version by entering download mode

[Q] CM10 first rolling recovery now scrambled lock screen!!!

Hey guys,
this is my first post and my problem is as follows:
I had ICS 4.0.x on my galaxy tab 10,1 P7500, I then installed CWM 5.5.0.4. but had a rolling window. I then continued to install a bootloader (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41) with the appropriate bootloader for the p4. This fixed the rolling recovery and allowed me to install CM10 using CWM.
But my current problem is when the device goes on sleep mode and I wake the device up the screen is scrambled, can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Thank you in advance

The only fix i found is for HC

Edit:
I fixed the rolling screen issue after screen unlock with pershoot's help, thanks again pershoot!
Maybe it will also work for you , here we go:
If you have installed the latest cm10 build, there is only one issue for the p4wifi , you must be on the US ICS Bootloader .
So download the recovery.tar.md5 from here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/recovery.tar.md5
Than go into download mode and flash this recovery using ODIN, (select pda and look for this file where you safed it, than click start)
Than, download the right US ICS Bootloader here:
http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip
Flash this also via ODIN in the PDA section, this may take a little longer, don't panic...
After that, the tablet will reboot and it should work... don't blame me if it didn't, but i had this rolling screen on almost every rom, and everything is fixed now...
I wish you good luck because i know it IS very annoying..

Thanks for the reply DefQon, I agree I think this is most annoying errors I have ever gotten.
I also searched high and low and could only find the fix for HC.

Please help - When turning off the Screen Android 4.1.1 will not come back on
I have the following problem.
When I install one of the latest rom e.g.
[ROM] [JB] [P4--P4WIFI--P4VZW]
4.1.2 AOKP for the Galaxy Tab 10.1
or
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview
then I have this problem:
When I turn off with the "Power"-Hardbutton, then it turns off, but it does not turn back on. The screen stays black.
With the Rom ...
[ROM][JB][CM10] Android 4.1.1 - CyanogenMod 10 Preview "cm-10-20120814-EXPERIMENTAL-p4.zip" from August everything works fine.
Since I had this flickering problem I flashed the bootloader before I installed all these Roms.
But one works and all new ones don't.
Anyone has a idea what to do?
thx

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Problems solved
I solved my problems. I installed the "custom" bootloader for each Rom and the "black screen" problem is now gone.
Thanx anyway.

I have tested the fix for weeks now and it worked great.
Except, this afternoon my tablet randomly restarted and now won't go past CM 10 boot screen.
Any idea whether reflashing the ROM without wyping, purely just installing (as is) CM10 M2 from CWM? Or any other ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and the dalvik cache. I then tried doing a factory reset but it doesn't seem to proress. I thought if I can do a factory reset then reinstall the ROM I might get it to work but I can't install the ROM as it says "Error (Status 7)?
I have tried formatting the /data in attempt to get the factory reset to work but this also freezes.
Currently, my tablet is in an infinite loop cycle and I cannot change the ROM or do a factory reset.
Thanks, you guys have really been helpful!

After hours of trying I have found a solution.
I previously had done backups. I tried each one until one started restoring. It completed quite a lot till it froze and I restarted into recovery.
I did a cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe and could then complete a factory reset.
It has now booted completely into ICS where I can now flash CM10 again.
The tablet works normally as you would expect on ICS. I booted into recovery and tried to flash CM10 M2 for the GT-P7500 but I still get a error, status 7.
Anyone experienced this?

Status 7 usually indicates the wrong update file, are you sure you are flashing the right ROM for the 7500?
Perhaps try to flash the recovery and bootloader first and then the right ROM and see what happens?

The thing is it is the exact same file I used to flash the previous time.. I first updated my recovery and bootloader before flashing and still get the error. Thanx for the thought though.

Brick? Hardware/Software bug?

Hi guys,
Yesterday, i turned off my device to sleep. When i turnet it on, it restart 3 times in sequence, than i take off battery , waited 1min e turned on again. But, it wasnt load OS, it freezed at Samsung logo.
So i decided to try restore the custom room (Google Edition), but i cant entered at cwm recovery, freezed downloading mode screen. Than i tried to flash with odin cwm again. Flash sucessfully but could not load cwm.
Than im started to getting panic, nervous and patience gone. I downloaded from sammobile the stock room and flash with odin. It isnt work again. After flash, the phone boot and freeze for loooooong time at screen with blue text recovering boot and Samsung logo.
I tried from KIES too, but have no sucess...
I dont know what I must have to do anymore. My ideas, knowlodge are now over. Is that any possible about triangle way cause this ? My device doesnt boot anymore. Always freezing screen. I waited for many minutes, like 20minutes and nothing.
Files that i downloaded:
- I9505_VJUBMG3_STOCK_RECOVERY.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3_STOCK_KERNEL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
- I9505VJUAMDM_I9505ZTOAMDM_I9505VJUAMDM_HOME.tar.md5
- and Philz recovery, CWM recovery.
Guys, what really happened?

funny thing
tha same happened to me last week.
I fixed it by downloading another version of Stock Rom for s4 and flashing it with odin.
The stock rom I used had only 1 file (1.7gb) and flashed it using only the pda button.
maybe it will work for you also.
oh and by the way
I used team win recovery project instead of CWM recovery

Yeah, i think my problem isnt the room, because i have 2 here, one default from sammbile and other I9505VJUBMG3-PRE-ROOTED-ODEX-FULL.tar.md5
My problem is after flash the room, it isnt boot. It stop at Samsung logo with blue text recovering boot. How long did you waited for this? Or you just disconnect cable after reboot and flash again to teamwin ?

Flash the new Brazilian rom with odin ( http://www.hotfile.com/dl/234152687/723aa16/I9505VJUBMG3_I9505ZTOBMG3_ZTO.zip.html ).
Wait reboot. Power off, and reboot in recovery mode, wipe data + cache (Vol Up+Home+Power).
The first time, you need wait a lot of time (1~20 minutes).

TWRP isn't CWM, didn't see you mention it yet.

Today i must to give up, because time is against me. I leave the device at samsung assistence. Lets see what they will say for me.
I dont have screenshots, but im sure that i follow all those steps correctly. I tried many ways with odin, ticking unticking things, step by step.
By the way, im so happy with all here tried to help me. The beautifull word that i can say is Thanks, thanks guys!
Weird think: Switching from S4 for X10 is a punishment! My old and warrior X10 have no more battery life, like a mini screen now, slow cpu... but its ok, is better than my x810i.
Thank You guys (all people that help me), for everything.

[HARD/SOFT-BRICKED after System Wipe]

Hey,
today I changed some settings in my phone and then I got a systemUI error, which I couldn't close etc., so I had to factory reset, which I did, but it didn't worked.
As I had the EchoeRom on my SD-Card, I just decided to flash it with TWRP-Recovery.
I don't know how or why... but somehow I did a system wipe too. This shouldn't be a problem as I just were about to flash the new Rom.
After flashing the EchoeRom I had some trouble with recognizing the SIM-Card, so I removed this ROM too..
So I flashed the original stock ROM with Odin and the S4 boots up and optimizes the apps.
THE PROBLEM NOW OCCURS:
I get into the language selection screen and it doesn't care if i hit anything or not. After 3-5 seconds the phone shuts down by itself and gets into some weird boot-loop with vibration, shining samsung logo and also blinking soft-touch keys.
I think I messed up something with bootloader etc.?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

Just reflash the rom or try a different rom and you will be fine.

This ended up being sorted for me, as it just booted after about a half hour. But how, if you hit this red screen can you reflash? You aren't getting to dowload mode or recovery with that perma-red screen

lol, I spoke too soon again, was reflashing twrp after going back to a stock rom, this happened again for me only its not budging from red screen now. I can't get into download mode as I mentioned above too

hey guys I have the same
the phone dont even switch off

then I flashed the version 3.0.0.0 of TWRP and it worked !

I didn't, ****ty Rom just bricked it.
Just reflash the recovery or flash stock. I can't, my pc doesn't recognize my s7 anymore.
