Hi all,
I recently decided to upgrade my 1 year old Samsung GT-P1000 tablet from its stock Froyo to a newer Gingerbread-based ROM. The tablet is not SIM-locked.
I tried using Heimdall to flash Technomancer's CM7 beta but I ended un in the CWM 5.0.27 recovery screen every time. I tried rebooting a couple of times, repartitioning and not, formatting EVERYTHING (/system, /data, both SD cards, etc) and I always end up in the recovery screen.
I also tried installing MIUI from the available CWM and again I ended up in the recovery screen. The only visible effect was that it downgraded my CWM version to 4.x (which I can upgrade with Heimdall flashing CM7 again).
While in the recovery screen I can connect from my computer using ADB and get a root shell (at least whoami replies with root).
I'm probably missing something really basic but I've been looking at many other posts and haven't been able to figure out what. Is there any extra step that I need to take in order to get a bootable system?
Thank you!
Wipe data in recovery

Already did that :-( I tried wiping data, cache, and still it goes back to recovery after rebooting.
Try flashing again with a different rom and telk me what happens

Press two times on the home button if you are in recovery

Frank2623: I tried doing that and the home button only moves the cursor. I tried other buttons as well but to the same effect, they only act as cursors and OK/back, no other effect observed.
YoshiFan501: After flashing CM7 for GT-P1000 I did try with MIUI 1.11.4 (Final Update), only I didn't know how to flash it from Heimdall and I just ran the update from recovery. I am also trying to locate other ROMs for Galaxy Tab. Any suggestion?
I did the exact same thing this guy did and have the same problem. Stuck in a recovery boot loop.
Did the same things, wiped everything, flashed different roms, miui etc, can't get out.
Can anyone provide a solution to this or tell me how to flash back to my old T-Mobile stock rom? I didn't brick my device did I?
Solution
Ok so I managed to get at least a stock 2.3 ROM, which is better than 2.2 and much better than not booting!
Here's what I did, in case someone else like Lucifus comes here with the same problem:
* Google for a stock GT-P1000 ROM like 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5.zip. Unzip it in a directory and untar the bundled GB_Stock_Safe_v5.tar as well.
* Install Heimdall v1.1, NOT v1.3 and open Heimdall Frontend (on 1.3 it wouldn't let me perform the following steps, maybe you get luckier)
* Turn on the tablet in download mode (with VolDown + Power)
* In Heimdall, select the PIT file from the 001001-GB-Stock-Safe-v5 and also the rest of components: primary boot (boot.bin), secondary (sbl.bin), factory FS, ...
* Choose a modem file (the Start button will remain disabled until you do). A quick google showed JPZ being the correct one for Android 2.3 and I for me it actually works.
* Recovery can be left blank
* Flash the whole thing
* It will reboot in recovery and output text on screen, including some errors
* Select factory reset, otherwise when you reboot again it will be stuck in the blinking Samsung logo (but you can power off, reboot in recovery and select factory reset then).
* Finally the Android OS boots
Not Detecting in ODIN/ How to use Heimdall
Hello xda users,
I need HELP !
I have a galaxy tab P1000
currently froyo 2.2
wanted to upgrade to GB
Tried the Odin way from another link on this site (MANUAL updation for galaxy tab(p1000) into 2.3.3 gingerbread ), it failed and the Tab got soft bricked,
somehow managed to unbrick it, now its back to its original fw, but it keeps restarting in a loop until i swith the damn thing off completely
I have tried to go in download mode. odin doesnt reognise it , tried differnt computers too, no use.
I have gone in recovery mode, hard reset, wipe cache , still when i switch it on, it goes in a reboot loop.
tried to use heimdall. cant get sucess as i might not understand how to use it properly
Please help.
Sincere thanks to you if you can help me get my tab up and running., if not in GB atleast back in froyo.
(PS i im not worried about my data , and i have not backed up the rom etc before doing any of these)

Hi,
I have now rooted my phone and seemed to have removed the issue I was encountering. (IMS Framework)
However I have a few issues since rooting and am a bit unsure if what to do next
Any help to the following points is greatly appreciated. I am complete noob so only plain English and links to idiots guides please!
1) as a recent post states, I am also suffering from frequent restarts. They are quick restarts, only a few seconds (not like a hard reset etc) however there seems to be no specific reason or app causing it.
Posts suggest removing Knox might help?
I have a few root removal apps installed now so can someone tell me which Knox apps/programs can be safely removed???
2) when I press side button to unlock the phone, the screen sometimes freezes and doesn't respond. I have to press lock button again to lock, again to unlock then it works again
Not a major problem but annoying none the less
Any ideas??
3) I rooted to save battery by deleting the vodafone virus IMS framework however battery is still not as it good as it was before IMS framework. It doesn't drain within a few hours but again it's annoying.
Android system and OS are currently using more battery than the screen
So being a noob I'm. It sure where to go from here....
I've done a backup from nandroid manager app (in a cwm format it seems) and downloaded rom manager however CWM installer hasn't worked (something on the install guide says something about Samsung devices needing to install something but I can't find a guide on it)
(Please also confirm, the back up I did to external sd card has a few files including an md5 file, a few tar files and recovery img file. Is this correct? Is this the folder I would use to restore if I encounter issues later on??)
So I'm thinking I unroot and reinstall factory settings through kies etc (guide how to do this would be useful??!!)
Then root again and install a new rom (a nice clean one without the bloatware etc)
EDIT. IVE READ HOW TO INSTALL CWM FROM ODIN SO WILL TRY THAT.
QUESTION THEN BECOMES : WILL INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM FIX POINTS 1,2 and 3????
Am I overthinking this or is there a quicker fix to my issues above?
Any help appreciated!!
1. If you have a custom recovery then flash knox removal script. Then you don't have to delete it manually. For example > http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/scriptknoxout-complete-brutal-knox-t2807172
2. Could be related to point 1.
Flash the script and it should solve most of your problems.
For your last question. There is no point in unrooting and using Kies if you want a custom rom. A custom rom will fix point 1, 2 and 3.
HELP!

Either reflash the stock rom you are on
or
Flash a custom rom that you want.

(or could i put a ROM on my External SDcard and flash via TWRP?)

Stock ROM (download it on your pc) -> Flash it via ODIN
or
Custom ROM having it in your SDCARD -> Install it via TWRP (Custom Recovery)
Took a while messing around with sd card but managed to flash liquid smooth and all working
Annoyingly Odin didn't recognise phone but that's ill sort that out another time
Thanks for help
Hello,
Like the title says, I have a Samsung J5, I rooted it as soon as I got it maybe a year or so ago.
I never had any issues with it. This morning, however I made a (now in hindsight) bad decision by factory resetting, dont even ask me why I thought I needed to factory reset it, I already did it.
Anyways, I did the factory reset from the phone and it instantly rebooted into TWRP, and here's where I got lost. I don't know what to do from here.
I assumed the phone would just reset itself, but it always reboots in recovery mode.
I thought maybe I had to flash a ROM again (I flashed a custom one and then stock back when I first rooted it, but my memory is terrible and I just have faint memories of it), I looked that up and found I needed Odin, the stock rom I wanted to flash and to reboot into download mode. So I got all I required and I don't think Odin is finding my phone.
My phone just has the blue screen saying downloading... and do not turn off target. Nothing else. and Odin doesn't show anything (I think it's supposed to show the device somewhere? Anyways, I'm super lost and I have no idea what to do.
I mostly just need someone to point me in the right direction, maybe some instructions I can follow or something, I'm not super experienced as you can tell but I can follow basic instructions when I'm not being dumb.
TL;DR: Did factory reset on rooted J5, now it only boots into TWRP, no idea where to go from here, stock rom flash?

Try factory reset in TWRP under "wipe" and try rebooting then.
If that doesn't work download a rom from xda for your device onto an sd card. Then put the sd card into the phone, Reboot into twrp and flash the ROM.
The reason odin isn't picking up your device is more than likely USB debugging isn't enabled which you can only do from inside the phones settings. Enable it once you flash the new rom and then flash your old firmware using odin afterwards if you wish.
Do you know what model it is?
Or even what year model it is? 2015?/16?/17?
If you can boot into twrp you have nothing to worry about as it can be easily resolved

Hey
I have already tried doing the factory reset from TWRP, but when I reboot after that it goes back into recovery mode, if I try to reboot from recovery mode into system it just goes back to recovery mode as well.
I'll try downloading another rom, I got the stock one in there but it doesn't flash it from TWRP, which I'm pretty sure is expected behaviour anyways.
The model is SM-J510MN 2016, I'll start looking for a rom.
Thanks

You can't flash the stock rom in TWRP because it is a .zip.tar file and twrp can only flash .zip files or .img files

Yeah, I may or may not have already tried hehe.
You wouldn't happen to have a rom that's not being hosted on Mega would you? I exceeded my limit when I was 95% done downloading one of them.
I think I found one, whoops.

maybe install usb drivers and try this: disconnect device, hold power, home and vol up key, connect device and then press volume up to enter download mode

Yep, I tried that, although I'm not sure the USB drivers I downloaded were correct, since the official page isn't working at least for me. So I downloaded what the websites claimed were the correct drivers, I went into download mode that way, which has some debug info on the top left stating it's in Odin mode, but Odin still didn't recognize it.
I'm pretty sure usb debug options were turned on before this, but I'm not sure if the factory reset could've messed with that, thought I'm assuming it could be part of it.
I'm currently trying to download some custom roms to follow garylawwd's advice, I'll reply once I've got results.

So I downloaded one, wiped everything, installed it via twrp, it apparently installed it correctly, rebooted the system and it went straight into recovery mode again. It's not letting me reboot into anything that isn't download or recovery. Any other ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Uhm, so after doing that I flashed the latest twrp version (I had 3.0.2 or something), rebooted after flashing the image, did a wipe from there, rebooted and it now didn't boot into recovery mode but instead I'm now on a white screen with the samsung logo in the middle looping from light grey to black. I'll look into that I guess...

Go into twrp and go to wipe. Click advanced wipe and wipe system, internal, data, dalvik cache.
Then flash the ROM again and reboot

Tried this just now, it rebooted twice and on the second reboot it got stuck on the logo once again.
I think I'm done trying to mess around with it, I'll take it to a repair place :/

Why would you try a ROM which has not been updated for months,get a recent one like Lineage OS just to try if it works,its also small in size.

He wants to just enable USB debugging in devoloper options because he wants the stock firmware and his pc isn't recognising his phone because this option isn't enabled.
He has twrp so flashing any rom will do just to get into the phone and enable USB debugging so he can flash the stock firmware through odin

Hey, so yeah, I was just looking for any rom, didn't really look for anything in particular, just got the first one I found in order to just get into the phone.
I ended up just taking it to a repair place after not having much luck myself, I don't know what exactly they did, but I now have that ROM flashed and I have access to the phone, I'm not sure if I want to try flashing either a different custom rom now, stock, or just sticking to this, since I'm sorta scared it will get messed up again and I'll have to go back to that repair place.

Nope, I'm on Extreme ux 8.0, which is what I downloaded to try to get into the phone to turn on the usb debugging option, the guy that repaired it must've noticed it was already on my SD card and flashed it without telling me.
Like I said, I kind of want to go back to stock but I'm sort of scared of touching it and having it get stuck again, I've kinda got used to this rom's little issues by now though I suppose.
