Bricked I/O tab 10.1?

[SOLVED] Okay so I got my i/o tab back up and working. See this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14586131&postcount=2.
1. I downloaded those 2 things.
2. I booted into odin mode by powering off the device and holding the power and the left volume (volume down) until it brings me to a usb and a triangle sign with an android figure.
3. Press Right volume (volume up) to select the right icon on the screen.
4. Plugin the tab to your computer and load the odin3 v1.85 application.
5. Press PDA and find the PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5 file
6. Click start and let it reboot and it should be fixed! (well that's what fixed it for me)
So I tried installing the starburst rom on my i/o tab that I won (from phandroid!), anyways I was on an unlocked 3.1 rom that was rooted. So I installed rom manager from the market to get cwm on it. After that I backed up my current rom, and then I flashed the starburst rom.
After the rom finished flashing it rebooted and is now stuck in a bootloop of continually showing the samsung galaxy tab 10.1 splash screen.
I can't get back into cwm at all. I've tried getting it back with odin and with nvflash. Also fastboot isn't working for me (says waiting for devices both on my windows and linux machine). I've tried flashing both stock recovery and cwm via odin and via nvflash but nothing is working.
I'm not really sure where to go from here. I've spent the last 5 hours or so on xda and google. Any help would be appreciated.
The first attached files shows what happens when I select the USB image, the second shows what I get when I hold down the power and down volume, and the third is me flashing cwm through odin, but after flashing it, I still can't get into cwm.

I'm not an expert, but you may want to check the file you are trying to flash as it may be corrupt. Maybe try redownloading and flashing with odin. If that does not work you may need to reflash your firmware, I think there is instructions in the dev form on where to download. Also check if the IO edition is different model from the retail WIFI version.
Hopefully this is helpful,if not I'm sure someone else will chime in.

I checked the md5 of it and it matched. How would I reflash with odin? All I can see that I can flash with odin is the recovery. I don't know how to flash anything on my tab in it's current state. I can't get cwm back, and all I get is fastboot usb mode and odin. Fastboot isn't working and odin says it flashes the cwm recovery correctly and everything, but then it's not there.
Thanks for your input, any input is greatly appreciated. Was hoping to get my tab updated to a touchwiz rom, now I can't even use it.

I had same problem happen with mine out of the blue and it's stock I/O.

Maybe the thing i'm flashing in odin isn't for the I/O tab?

Did you fix it? I had this happen once before but I forget how I was able to get fastboot to work to issue a fastboot -w command.

Okay, so I think I made some progress. I was able to get fastboot working on a fresh computer that never had adb, fastboot, or the android sdk installed. I only have fastboot working on it and not adb. :\
So I tried fastboot flash system stockrom.zip but when rebooting it just shows the
splash screen. (I waited like 10mins). I now do have fastboot working so now what should I do?

which stock rom are you using? are you using the OTA 3.1 that is in the dev thread?
try that and lemme know what happens
also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot recovery, ie get back into CWM and load a backup

I think maybe my partition table is effed up? I'm not sure.
I tried fastboot and flashing the backup that I had on my computer (fastboot flash system system.img ; fastboot flash data data.img ; etc), but it just hangs at the samsung galaxy tab splash logo.
I'm using the ota that comes in the files for dummies in the dev forum.

thank you SO MUCH ... I was stuck for hours until I found your thread

you are not in download or recovery mode. turn your tab all the way off, and then use the key-combo to get into the menu where you choose recovery or download mode.
then odin will see it

Jtag will available soon for 10.1

which key combination ??????????
there is nothing shown on my tab
no light
no charging sign
blank black lcd while in """'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices"""""" mode
in device manager
so good to hear that mine is not bricked

So annoying coming back to this thread because my tab decided to randomly boot loop again. >.>

fastboot -w ..
my suspect is data / cache becomes corrupt or gets corrupted easily .. seems like it happens on a few tabs .. I have 3 and only 1 keeps giving me problems ..

Simply doing fastboot -w has never worked for me. It would just bootloop. Only way i've been able to restore it is through the steps I listed in this thread.

did you use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ?
after that you were not able to get into recovery?
Was the 802 ROM a modified stock ROM?
If it was a stock modified ROM then find an original AT&T boot.img, you can download any ATT ROM and extract the boot.img. From there get back into fastboot and flash boot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once you have boot.img flashed you should be able to boot into Android. Do not go into recovery and wipe or format anything.

It was a paranoid android rom. I did what you told me. Now i don't see fastboot anymore. My phone goes constantly restarts itself. I put it into download mode to flash stock through lg glash tool but it still fails. It saying wrong model.

Can you get into recovery? Which recovery you have? If you can get into recovery, then flash the PA ROM again so you can get into fastboot, download CM for the 800, extract the boot.img from CM and flash that boot.img

turn the device on holding the power down key and power button, as soon as the bootscreen comes up...release the buttons and re press them immdeatley.
this should put you on the recovery screen, hopefully from there you can restore your phone.
cheers.

from fastboot flash clockwork recovery if you are not using it and then see if you can mount USB storage. Not sure if it is in twrp or not. Did you use the CM boot.img from the D800 CM 10.2? It should have boot. Did you wipe system?

[Q] [Help]

i have a VS980, rooted and with TWRP
i wanted to update TWRP so i can install a kitkat rom, when i did this, some error happen, and now my phone wont boot and cant get into recovery mode, when i try to get into recovery, a black screen that says flashboot appears
i dont know what to do, please some help

Hmm did the ROM install and once you reboot does the fastboot show? Have you tried using the hardware key method and getting into recovery?

I had the same issue recently (which got me to start posting on here after using this forum for help). If you can get into your ROM regardless of the lack of recovery, that would be a huge plus. The VS980 is not friendly with GooManager and TWRP Manager. However, it's friendly with the Flashify app. Give it a try if you can boot into your ROM.

i was updating TWRP to the 2.7, wasnt changing the ROM in that moment, apparently i did something wrong, and now if i try to get to recovery (with the key combination) it stays on fastboot
if i just turn it on, it stays on bootloop
if i go into download mode, my pc kind of recognizes it, but doesnt let me puso a recovery

hmm ya if recovery is pooched and you cannot use adb to install another one... i think your only option is to use flashtool and install kdz again...

I'm assuming you already finished the KDZ process. If you haven't and can boot into your ROM, you can ressurect TWRP via adb or the flashify app. I went through the same situation as you and could boot into my ROM.

Flash custom recovery

A friend just gave me a G2 because he had some issues. I want to flash stock rom again but I can't enter into download mode. I hold volume up while plugging in the phone to pc and it just boots normally. I tried to flash custom recovery. I flashed CWM via Rom manager, TWRP via flashify but it's not working. When I boot into recovery it's just the stock recovery, no TWRP no CWM. Any ideas? Am I missing something? Do I need to unlock bootloader? I searched for how to unlock bootloader but I can't find anything. (I managed to root the phone)

First, AFAIK, the G2 needs to downgrade to certain build version (???) before able to install custom recovery. In my case, D80020y, all I needed was installing and running the AutoRec app by Cloudyfa (?)
Second, I hope you already know that but worth to remind, you have to enter (press Power button) 3 times from stock recovery to custom (TWRP) recovery mode.

Stuck on Boot screen

Hi
I followed the guide on here to install TWRP on my S8 however for some reason I am stuck on the boot screen I cannot load into recovery I can go into Odin mode I was on the latest firmware G950FXXU1AQJ1
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

re-flash stock rom again

You can just flash the recovery if you don't want to loose everything, if you need a flashable recovery image let me know. Your phones bootloader is most likely locked, same thing happend to my phone when I tried TWRP on it, turns out bootloader was locked.

As advised earlier before doing anything you need to make sure oem unlock is set to on in developer options.

Phones back to normal recovery would flash but would not boot into it by bootloader do you mean OEM?

One other thing, when I got twrp, I didn't want to flash a Rom at the time, I just wanted twrp and the official stock firmware, and I found it would not boot until I wiped data in twrp.

What's your phone model?
You can flash the OEM recovery, the reason I ask for your model is the fact that any USA snapdragon bootloader cannot be unlocked yet so you have no choice but to return to OEM recovery. If you give me your model I'll compile a file to flash that will reinstall your in stock recovery.
It really depends on your model because some you have to insure your bootloader is unlocked, while some varrients are just totally locked.
I can give you a file to return you to stock recovery if you need it.

Reflash you stock firmware but do not nand erase... I think all you should have to flash though is just the BL tar of the firmware....
Your Bl is locked and you cant just flash a recov .img Or at least I dont believe you can
