Im pretty sure your rom that you are running is corrupted, this has happened to me
when this happens recovery will not let you run that ROM. So it will
keep rebooting into recovery. Try this, go into recovery Wipe Data,Cache and Dalvik
then reboot, if it still doesn't work try flashing a Rom.
my rom is the orginal sumsung rom that came with the device only rooted.
i will try wiping the data/cach/dalvik and then maybe restore an old backup that i have.
thanks for the advice.
well it didnt work.
i also tried to recover a working version of my rom and still boot loop to recovery.
plus when i power it off and connect the power cord it startup automaticaly to recovery.

I think The onlyest way is to flash a Stockrom to your Tab.
Then try to flash a Recovery to your Tab again, but i prefere CWM or Philz Touch not TWRP.
maybe i should install philz on top of twrp and then restore old backup?
i dont think i can get the orignal frimware form samsung in my country.

The prob is, only with CWM or Philz you restore Backups froh there, is The backup froh TWRP you need TWRP as Recovery.
Download from sam The Version what is in The box .
well i found the orginal rom in .img file at samfirmware. i belive its pure stock - i know that someone of you can confrim this - but how to i flash it?
i belive is with odin buth as for the instracion. is it like flashin recovery with odin? if so i will follow that instracation and give it a go.
I have the same problem, did anybody figure this out?
ended up just reflashing the stock rom from odin instead of twrp and it worked.
Fix

So I've done this before, attempting to install a different type of ROM, the only way to repair this is to return to stock via Odin. Download the stock rom in the 10.1 dev thread, reboot into download, and flash via Odin.

Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards
So after i flashed a rom on my P5200 i always bootloop to TWRP
and i tried to wipe all data but no use
so please someone help me
oh and i can access download mode
TWRP causes problems...at least it did mine.. Restore the backup (hopefully you made one) with TWRP and flash a different recovery, like clockwork mod (CWM).

i did not do a backup !!!
what should i do?
Power it off completely boot up in Download mode. Then connect it to the PC and use Odin to flash CWM on it.
For future reference, always make a backup before you do ANYTHING.
So I followed the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2674649 to install CWM and it went fine but when I got out of the CWM recovery menu and rebooted it just rebooted back into the recovery.
Then I guessed it was fine because I was going to install this rom anyway so I followed the instructions and did a factory reset and then tried to install the rom from the zip.
But then the installer failed saying "format() expects 5 args, got 4 - Installation aborted" and I'm stuck with just the recovery menu.
Does anybody know how to bring it back to life?

Thank you so much. This post should be mentioned in the troubleshooting or something I guess it's not that uncommon
EDIT: The ROM flashed correctly but it still loops into the recovery

one question, have you install the quick boot app?
I think the onlyest way for you is flash the stock rom with Odin.
full reboot
flash the recovery with Odin,after flash boot with the button comby into recovery and flash the superSu.zip from chainfire
reboot your tab
open SuperSu.app and you have got root
Dont install the Quick boot app !!!!!
That was the way what works for me.

I don't know what the quick boot app is so I guess I don't have it.
How do I flash a rom with odin and where do I get the superSu.zip from?
Solved
Okay I solved it.
I flashed the stock rom from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780068 (the full version no the lite)
using Philz Touch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50922322&postcount=4
And then I just rebooted the system and it took a long while but it finally went past the welcome logo and started fine
I flashed a new rom yesterday and tried to go back and flash a kernel but I can't get into recovery. Just a black screen 705 fastboot
I installed twrp and tried reinstalling recovery but still didn't work
Ideas?

Twrp should still be there. That rom you installed probably had a incompatible kernel which is what is sending you into fastboot. If you cant get into recovery for some off the wall reason flash back to stock with a tot or kdz.
any off the wall ideas on how to get into recovery

Am I to understand this as you installed the TWRP Manager apk? Or do we read this as TWRP is the recovery you had originally installed? (Not trying to be funny here)
If the TWRP Manager was used from within the ROM, instead, use Flashify to reflash the recovery, not TWRP manager. Get the IMG file from HERE first, and tell flashify where you saved it.
If you are completely unable to boot as well as not access recovery, you will have to start from scratch. Follow THESE instructions to get back to stock and start over. (Choose Restoring Stock/Removing Root Flag)
First time flashing ROMs, installed resurrection remix tryed to install Gapps which failed, yet RR booted up on its own just fine. Then tried to flash a new recovery on it (TWRP 3.0) yet the phone would just never boot up to complete the recovery install. So now i have a phone which wont enter recovery mode and cannot complete the download of the new recovery.
TLDR: Phone wont boot into recovery as ROM is broken so download cant be fixed?
Previous: recovery TWRP 2.6
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19195
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Are you sure that you have flashed the right Recovery for your Phone.
Normally the way is.
Boot into Recovery
Install the Recovery .zip file
Reboot into Recovery.
Reboot into System ( ROM )
Can you post a link where you download the Recovery and which file.

That would only work from TWRP ver 2.8.4, I think you missed he is still on very old TWRP or maybe he edit later , he would have to install with Odin method
@Spec77
If you can boot into download mode you should be able to flash new recovery with Odin method (NOT use zip file).
As Bierma suggests maybe you flashed wrong TWRP does your phone have another letter and after gt-19195 if so it is a different phone & you need different TWRP. Or maybe you just tapped wrong link.

This way works also if you come from a CWM or PhilzTouch Version.
If you come from TWRP =>2.8.4.0 than you can flash an *.IMG File ,but you can flash on all Versions a *.zip file.
Managed to fix the brick
Thanks for the help, I managed to fix it by installing TRWP 3.0 from ODIN, and now that i have that I'm fine
Thanks!
