Hi, searched and found nothing matching my situation...
I'm trying to follow the guide to change my firmware on my Tab P1000 to European so I can use it as a large phone...
In the first step, I loaded all the requested files to Odin, while in download mode, and hit "Start", the result is not good...
Odin is stuck, all buttons greyed out and the notification box states: SetupConnection.
On the screen of the Tab, there is a very small blue indicator below the yellow construction triangle...
Please tell me the best way to proceed. Can I disconnect, power off and not have done any harm....yet ?
I'm afraid to touch anything....the battery will die if I wait too long though, of course....
So, I'm an idiot replying to my own thread, but I couldn't see where/how to delete it....
I took the plunge, hit the red X in the corner of Odin to close it and took the phone out of download mode by holding down the power button...
Thanks goodness it booted normally after that....
SOrry for the idiot thread, mods, if you see this, please delete it for me....thanks...
In case anyone has the same issue, I figured out WHY Odin froze/failed...
The file I was trying to flash was corrupt.
For some reason I can't figure out, all of the files I tried to download to use to flash my Tab were corrupt. It wasn't till I started using 7z to extract them that I saw I was getting CRC recovery errors. Izarc, another free extraction program wasn't showing any errors upon extraction with the same files...When I used files I downloaded that had SHA1 hash verification figures that I could verify the integrity of the download THEN Odin worked without issue.
Flash it again, that happens to me sometimes

NOTE : this is not my own procedure but i just wanna share this with you guys since some tab users here are having problems restocking their tab to gingerbread, i have also added some notes and troubleshooting in case there will be an issue flashing the rom
link to the original post credits of course to the writer > how to restock p1000 to gingerbread 2.3
btw, this is a complete and full tutorial/step-by-step guide on how to restock gingerbread rom, so if you did not download all requirements, restocking wont be successful
my story and experience : hey guys, yesterday night, i softbricked my galaxy tab p1000 which was running cm9, it turned out like that when i went to recovery and wipe all data, cache, dalvik, even system, and boot. i tried reflashing the cm9.zip but as it was installing its update, my tab suddenly boot into battery icon, meaning it was already empty (maybe, dont have any idea), then, since it was already 12 midnight, there were no internet cafes open in our village, so i went out though somehow it might be dangerous for me, then, i found an internet cafe open. i rent a pc, first, i tried to go to download mode, so some drivers will be installed, but it kept showing "unkown device recognized" bla bla.. still.. i didnt lose hope. so i searched on google, and i found this site > http://suzhipackz.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-re-stock-samsung-galaxy-tab.html , when i finished downloading odin, i opened it to check whether it will read my device or not, first three attempts, it did not. so, i thought of downloading samsung kies so the drivers will be installed (safest way really to install samsung drivers), then i still looked for a smaller file (while waiting for kies to complete its download), then i found that there is a smaller zip file for you to install samsung drivers (see attachment below), i installed it, but still odin cant detect my device (try it, might be just on the pc i rented), so i just waited for kies to complete.. after a couple of minutes, successfully downloaded kies, and installed it. i tried connecting tab to pc with odin opened, i rebooted to download mode again and reconnect tab to pc, and voila! odin read my device! so, since pc has already detected my device, i just waited about 1 1/2 hours for the rom and the pit file and the db data file.... after almost 2 and half hours of crossing fingers, i have revived my tab and restocked it to gingebread 2.3!
HOW TO RESTOCK SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB p1000 to 2.3.3 GINGER BREAD STOCK ROM?
HERE:
- ALL REQUIREMENTS
.......Samsung KIES > LINK FOR SAMSUNG KIES
.......ODIN3 v1.7 > LINK FOR ODIN3 v1.7
.......p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjpz < THIS IS STOCK ROM > LINK FOR STOCK ROM
.......gt-p1000_mr_PIT > LINK FOR PIT
.......dbdata.zip > LINK FOR DBDATA
.......place it all in ONE FOLDER in desktop "unzip it all"
PLEASE DOWNLOAD ALL OF THIS BEFORE YOU CONTINUE..............
PROCEDURE:
.......Turn off tab
.......open ODIN3 v1.7
.......click on the PDA and select - p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjq1_p1000xxjpz in your computer
.......clink on the PIT and select - gt-p1000_mr_PIT
.......Check only RE-PARTITION, "uncheck auto reboot and f.reset time"
.......in your tab press and hold "VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON"
.......if DOWNLOADING APPEAR leave it like that
.......now, connect you tab in computer
.......if ODIN detects your phone PRESS START in ODIN
.......wait for it until success, after that disconnect your tab
(if for an instance it stuck on downloading mode but you have already finished flashing, do not worry, you just have to manually hold the power button for it to boot up, it might get into recovery, so please reboot the system (it might also be a touch recovery so please tab the home touch key to continue) then if it keeps on booting on "samsung", do not worry, you are not done yet with the restocking procedure, so please proceed to the next step)
.......press and hold power button until it will turn off
.......open ODIN3 v1.7 again
.......UNCHECK it all "re-partition, auto reboot, f.reset time"
.......click on the PDA and select dbdata.zip
.......press and hold "VOLUME DOWN AND POWER BUTTON" again

.......if ODIN detects your phone PRESS START in ODIN
.......wait for it until success, after that disconnect your tab
(again, if it is stuck on downloading mode but you have successfully done the flashing, hold power key to turn the tab on, and if it keeps on booting to "samsung" again, do the next step)
.......This time we will go to CLOCKWORKMOD by holding "VOLUME UP and POWER BUTTON"
(then wipe data, and wipe cache, (volume keys to scroll up or down, and home touch key to select) and reboot system, wait for a minute or two and home screen will now appear)
.........................................NOW YOUR IN STOCK ROM AGAIN 2.3.3 GINGER BREAD
another note : when there is an error for example that flashed on your tab screen like a color red "E:\ " something like that, do not worry, it is the external sd card (i dont have one so it was an error then but not a problem, no worries) just let it be, wait until it finishes
some files are already attached below coz they are just small in size
clicking "thanks" button is enough for me..
just sharing this with you guys...
happy restocking!! :laugh:

Samsung Tab P1000 stuck in nowhere!
First of all thanks the OP for the brilliant post on how to re-stock GB on P1000.
Earlier today I was fooling around with my P1000 to update it from CM11 to Omnirom 5.0.2, troubles started there. I was trying to install the TWRP recovery over CWM, and that is when all hell broke loose.
1. P1000 couldn't mount my internal SD. The tab was perfectly booting to a previous version of JB CM sapir, which I don't have any clue appeared where from. The storage showed the 2 GB internal memory, but the 12GB internal SD was missing out.
And the CWM errors were E:/can't mound internal SD
2. Now, after wiping data, dalvik, battery stats, formatting and all that, the tab doesn't even boot into the OS. The moment the power button is on, CWM initiates a count down saying, trying to mount SD, but unable to do so. After 20 seconds, the tab starts this whole process again, and thus a loop.
3. I tried to re-stock to GB; but my tab isn't being detected by Odin in download mode. Odin detects the tab when it is turned on and when the tab is on countdown-restart-countdown loop; but not in download mode.
I am a total noob, and I don't want to throw my tab away as I am a student and can't afford to get a new one Someone please help me to fix the issue. Thanks in advance!

Can you try booting the Vol- or the Vol+ button until you see the flashscreen?

Well yes, Vol+ takes me to CWM recovery and Vol- takes me to download mode. Odin detects my Tab on CWM; I tried flashing the PIT which resulted in a failure. And on the download mode as I mentioned earlier, Odin doesn't detect my Tab
Well, I am all ears about the mod you're mentioning about, but let's just hope for now that I don't need that

I have tried the recovery batch file for cwm and it results in the same thing. Tried flashify and flashing twrp and still have the same thing. Please I have no idea what else to do.

I ended up flashing back to stock and then rooted with ioroot15 and then followed these instructions http://www.android.gs/install-twrp-recovery-lg-g2/ It worked.
But me being an idiot didn't take my titanium backup off the phone before the flash so I lost all my settings. #draganddrop #oopsies

Hello,
I am on VS98012B as well. I rooted with 'ioroot24' .. That all went fine. Now when I am trying to install a custom recovery (got botched the first couple times) ... now I can not get the phone to pop up the RSA fingerprint and when I try to boot into recovery using ADB commands or quickboot the phone just goes to a black screen and if it is plugged into the computer (windows 7) it pops up a bunch of different drives at me like endleesss was having. I could use and would appreciate some pointers!
Thanks!

I am getting this exact same problem, I used ioroot25, which also went fine. When I go to reboot into recovery I just get a black screen. When I boot into recovery with it plugged into my computer I also get Windows telling me that I need to format a bunch of drives before I can use them. I also get one drive that lets me open and it has a "images" folder in it, with a bunch of other files inside that. Not sure what is going on but any help would be awesome.

Seeing this exact same thing after going to a 4.4.2 ROM. I was coming from a 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7 and now cannot get back in to recovery mode. I get just a black screen and also see the multiple drives popup when I plug in USB to the pc. I've tried flashing different recoveries with no luck. Hope a fix for this can be found.
Same problem but worse
I have this problem as well and have known that it needing fixing. Problem is the phone tried to auto-update to kitkat at night and now all i get is lg logo some commands in the top left then it tried to install via stock recovery. I can't get away from this as far as I know yet. I can't get to dl mode to just flash stock. I feel i might be completely boned. I tried pulling the battery ribbon to see if that would kick it out of this commanding it into recovery but I really don't know what to do at all at this point. Can someone help please or atleast tell me im boned so i can try to salvage. maybe do a warranty replacement. Thanks in advance
This thread will help with the "drives popping up", "black screen" etc..
--------------------------
For the ones with fastboot issue who can't enter dload mode:
download yor corresponding laf.img
Download this
extract it, put your laf.img inside(rename laf.bin to laf.img if needed), run "run this", you should be able to boot to download mode.

I was able to follow all of the directions in that post though it doesn't seem to have done the trick. I have left a post in that thread asking their opinion on things but idk if it will be answered since it is such a large post.
If you have any experience with these partitions, could you direct me to a way to stop the device from trying to run the OTA. This seems to be the largest problem as to why its not working since it pushes itself into recovery every boot, though it seems the recovery partition flash didn't take for some reason.
I am using 64-bit Ubuntu could that be an issue?

I'm not sure what type of "bricked" this would be but, I tried to flash my Canadian Fido S4 I337m with a MF3 modem. I did this through Odin Mobile Pro. At first it was all good, it started to restart with a blue android figure. It started to take a really long time and nothing was happening so I decided to turn the phone off. Now the phone won't turn back on and it won't connect to the PC. I have my backup saved on my sd card but I can't get the phone to load at all.
It's currently stuck the battery charging power up screen. I can't post a picture since I haven't posted 10 times apparently... So it's the grey battery icon, the circle in the middle isn't moving whatsoever.
Did a battery pull, tried starting it in safe mode, and tried to restart it in the download mode. All of which have failed.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks
*Update*
The blue android figure is back. Does anyone have any information on how long this little android guy is supposed to be around for?

Download Odin 3.07 for the PC.... you flashed the wrong mode... I believe you flashed a US modem not a Canadian on... suggest NC1 can be found in the forum...
With the phone unplugged, press volume down +home+power if you get a warning, release buttons and press voulme up to go to download mode...
Start Odin.... important... take off auto reboot....
there are instructions on how to properly flash the modem... likely in the same thread you found the file.....
Flash only the modem.bin file inside the folder... do not flash the nonhalos file....
Most instructions sau flash once... reboot to download mode.. flash again....
Basically let me know if you can get to download mode... I tried to google blue android on screen but didn't find anything yet... first I have heard of blue... I have seen green dead ones though....

No, I can't seem to get into download mode. It just keeps heading on to the the blue android. I purchased a dongle jig to get it to download mode on ebay hoping that would work.
Method 1 Odin Mobile
Extract TAR and place modem.bin on Internal or External SD Card
Open mobile Odin (free version works but pro is awesome)
Select modem 2 and find extracted bin file
Press flash firmware button
System will boot to download
Hold power button for 10 seconds if download mode in green comes up.( should be blue)
Odin will install modem files
Done
This is what I was following. It said if it comes up as a blue android it's good.

If you put the modem file on an external sd card.... maybe you could pull the card, put it in a usb reader and put the proper modem.bin file on the card and put it back in the phone and power it up.... see what happens. I am guessing it couldn't finish the process because you have the wrong modem file...... Okay so now I realize you are stuck on the mobile odin logo... (blue guy) search google for how to get out of that or go to the mobile odin thread and ask chainfire... it is his app....
I've got the problem fixed. I re-flashed my whole firmware and managed to get the phone into download mode using a USB Jig. This is for reference if anyone encounters the same problem in the near future.
Thanks for the help and advice though.
Hello all, so today I downloaded 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sammobile site, flashed it without backup or any **** (I've done it before on my tablet and worked like A CHARM) and "finally" got KitKat on my Grand 2 Duos. Then it all started happening after that:
I first started noticing some strange and weird bugs, like I can't lock the screen, notifications never get cleared, it felt like the phone got frozen.
It is known for sure that after I installed the firmware, the recovery mod that I had is gone and replaced with stock one, so I tried flashing a .tar file for rooting my phone (It was actually to use via recovery, not via flash... I lacked information back then), after flashing it, I could boot into recovery mode no more. Even after flashing the 4.4.2 firmware again, I even saw it installing a "recovery.img" file but with no good. When I try to boot into recovery mode it writes at the top "Could not do normal boot" and then "ODIN Mode" and the rest as I used to see before.
Then I started searching the web for solutions relating to the bugs I noticed earlier, found a thread instructing to remove battery, SIM card and microSD card, then re-installing them again except the microSD card... It actually fixed the stated bugs! But I still don't feel relaxed. I want to fix this (idk if this is called "bricked" or no!) issue about recovery mode, and get back to 4.3 as this scared me as f**k.
NOTE: I flashed CWM and TWRP .tar files that I already had, to no avail.

Well I already stated (if you read my whole thread) that it works normally, running 4.4.2 atm without microSD card inserted, it works like the past except for two points:
1- My root access is gone.
2- I can't reboot into recovery mode at all, no matter what I try.
Wow u screwed up ur recovery itself ....wow u r awesome ! Just check if it goes to download mode if it does then flash it again with the latest firmware .... After flashing immediately try going to recovery and if u do ..... do the reset and wipe cache

After I flash the firmware it automatically goes to a recovery screen, a progress bar gets filled then opens the Android system normally. After that when I try to go to recovery mode again it goes back to download mode again with the error text "Could not do normal boot".
Problem.... Fixed? .___.
Well for some reason on the third (and thought it's hopeless) attempt to flash the firmware again, I managed to open recovery mode after it, I was kissing the Reset Factory button.
As long as I find this weird, working on many attemps (maybe Samsung software itself fails?) I find this thread useless, thanks given to Sanjuujosephh! I inserted my microSD and it's working now, rebooted again into recovery and it's working as it should be.

Hello all, so today I downloaded 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sammobile site, flashed it without backup or any **** (I've done it before on my tablet and worked like A CHARM) and "finally" got KitKat on my Grand 2 Duos. Then it all started happening after that:
I first started noticing some strange and weird bugs, like I can't lock the screen, notifications never get cleared, it felt like the phone got frozen.
It is known for sure that after I installed the firmware, the recovery mod that I had is gone and replaced with stock one, so I tried flashing a .tar file for rooting my phone (It was actually to use via recovery, not via flash... I lacked information back then), after flashing it, I could boot into recovery mode no more. Even after flashing the 4.4.2 firmware again, I even saw it installing a "recovery.img" file but with no good. When I try to boot into recovery mode it writes at the top "Could not do normal boot" and then "ODIN Mode" and the rest as I used to see before.
Then I started searching the web for solutions relating to the bugs I noticed earlier, found a thread instructing to remove battery, SIM card and microSD card, then re-installing them again except the microSD card... It actually fixed the stated bugs! But I still don't feel relaxed. I want to fix this (idk if this is called "bricked" or no!) issue about recovery mode, and get back to 4.3 as this scared me as f**k.
NOTE: I flashed CWM and TWRP .tar files that I already had, to no avail.

Dear friend,
Try my rooting thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ps/galaxy-s5-mod-apps-kitkat-grand-2-t2821638
This is made specifically for the KitKat Grand 2.
The message "Could not do normal boot" came as a result of using 4.3 recovery on 4.4.2.
Do not ever attempt to revert to 4.3 as this will HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE'S MOTHERBOARD.

Well I already stated (if you read my whole thread) that it works normally, running 4.4.2 atm without microSD card inserted, it works like the past except for two points:
1- My root access is gone.
2- I can't reboot into recovery mode at all, no matter what I try.

Bro, please don't use king root or any other root.
Solution
Please download the stock firmware and then go to download mode flash the stock firmware and root your phone again. Then recovery mode will work.
Thank you
Sorry for errors.

I'm a newbie but I fixed mine...
I've had this happen and it is frustrating to say the least. But I fixed it though. This is what I did: CAVEAT: Please read up all the FAQs, search the right firmware for your phone and the appropriate versions, KitKat vs Jelly Bean, etc. otherwise if your phone is bricked...don't blame me.
I have a 2nd-hand Galaxy Grand 2 and so warranty issues are a non-issue for me. All the files I've found were downloaded on this forum. I flashed ROM with my PC with Odin program installed.
I used Odin3 (v.3.07). (To install Odin program search the this forum). I also reflashed the recovery TWRP file "twrp_ms013g-build2.tar" Including the firmware G7102 Stock. My file was: G7102DDUBOB1_G7102ODDBOB1_G7102DDUBNK1_HOME.tar.md5. (Search for it.) Oh, you may want this file: CF-Auto-Root-ms013g-ms013gxx-smg7102.tar.md5 which may help with rooting your phone if you haven't already done so.
I did the Recovery 3-button Samsung phone groping procedure (you know what I'm talking about Volume Up/Down button + power + home button)... but to no avail...I keep getting that boot loop (Unable to normal boot...etc). You know that stupid "Downloading" Android logo (with the blue worded script on the top left-hand corner) with message ..."Downloading ...Do not unplug source..." Well, I plugged the USB cable to the phone to my computer and Odin program recognized it (it'll read "Added"). The phone didn't give any indications that it was doing anything. Btw, if your Odin program doesn't recognize your device then you should find out why it doesn't. If it recognized it before and you flashed with the Odin program before, I don't see why it won't recognize it now? Some say it's the USB cable but I can't logically accept that kind of superstitious BS. Come on, it's a copper/aluminum wire cable wrapped in pvc -- not a script. A cable is a cable is a cable. If it worked before, it'll work again unless it's cut inside the pvc tubing. You can use a digital multimeter to easily test that for continuity (albeit with really tiny leads to be able to connect to the mini USB side). Anyways, if your Odin program won't recognize your phone, maybe try using a lower version, or re-installing, or another similar type of program that will work. I'm assuming you did install the Samsung USB driver for your PC (e.g. mine is -v1.5.61.0 -search for your appropriate version) so that your computer will recognize your phone when cable is hooked up.
DON'T FORGET TO have the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" boxes checked on the Odin program. Then select PAD button and browse for your TWRP file (above) and hit "Start." The Odin will flash it and you'll see a light blue bar under the Android logo (on your phone) that will go from left to right and when finished....whooooohooo the phone auto restarts back to your last OS state without losing any info on the phone. At least it worked for me. Hope that helps. Sorry for the long post.
hi i am in official android 4.3 on my g7102 and i wanna install a recovery file. but every recovery file i tested dosnt work on android 4.3. can you help me?
If u have knox bootloader do not try to downgrade just get kitkat one and in odin check phone bootloader update
Seems like u really guys screwed up the recovery. Somehow on my first try of flashing a zip file (recovery), i got stuck on download mode and wont boot normally. When I fixed the problem, the phone boots normally but the recovery is the only problem I got. I fixed this problem for about 10 days ago, all i did was to reflash the recovery again, orrr flash other version of the recovery (if the downloaded recovery version didnt work) or flash other recovery if the another recovery didnt work. Make sure the recovery is working on the version of you're phone (jelly, kk, lollipop, marshmallow or nougat) and working also on the model version.
I know this is an old thread but I hope this reply helped
hello guys.
first i will start with the beginning. i have a grand 2 duos g7102 phone. i rooted the phone and installed CWM recovery in order to flash custom rom CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 everything was running well until i upgraded to CM 14 Nougat 7.0 COSMO, i didn't like it and when i wanted to get in recovery mode again it stopped working. Now i can't boot in recovery mode at all. Not showing CWM recovery like before only recovery booting for few second and after that the dead android and No command and there is more writing down the screen like Supported API: 3 but it is hard to read because the screen is always flashing.
i someone faced this problem before please help !!!
thanks in advance
Guys guys i had the same problem with my grand 2 7102.
I rooted my phone and flashed a recovery via odin.
But as i press the button combos it says. Could not do normal boot.
So, i found a solution for it.
Downloaded flashify for play store.
Extracted img. File of twrp recovery provided in the grand 2 thread 😬,
Flashed it with flashify
And guess what i was in the recovery and after that no problem came with the recovery flashing 🙂
If you guys keep having problems with no-pc flashing, try the pc flashing cause this is the better way of flashing other than apps.
I had the could not do normal boot problem
Do this ...
Google cwm test 4.4 ms013g.tar and download it
Put it in PA or PDA uncheck autoreboot keep freset time checked
Flash the file then when you get pass message in odin , remove battery and reinsert it and go to recovery mode directly with vol up + power button.
NOTE : Don't try to normal boot to system
