Hello everyone I'm Italian and I have problems with my stock galaxy tab 3 7.0 T211.
Often when I turn on the tablet the process systemui crash, then while using, many other app randomly lock, and I must open them 2-3 times to be used in normal way.
It happens also that the tablet will block for a couple of seconds and restart it automatically, but restart is not normal but is much faster.
I tried to do a factory reset from recovery, I installed with odin before the stock firmware 4.1.2 (XXAMK6) and then the 4.4.2 (XXBNI1), but in all cases nothing, the tablet gave me the same problems, particularly the problem of the process are terminated .
It also happened that during the first configuration (language, time, wifi network password, etc.) the configuration process crash, and I had to start all over again. All this even though I had just installed the firmware with odin.
I do not know what to do, it seems to me absurd that despite I start from a clean base and I use odin to flash a stock rom the tablet gives these problems, I do not understand what could depend.
I hope you can help me, any help or advice is welcome.
Many thanks to all!
Been there, done that

This happened with me too but only after updating to KitKat 4.4.2 with Odin, I tried a couple of times and even used firmwares for other regions (mine is international version unlocked so it should work with no problems), I then Initialized the device using Kies 3 to the latest firmware available for my region for the SM-T211, it went OK, I still get crashes, I mean the problem hasn't totally been solved, but it's much much less crashes now than before when device was flashed with Odin (may I say that it was the same stock rom with the same build number from both Odin and Kies 3, still the one from Kies 3 was much more stable)

I have read around regarding this problem without luck, and hope that someone can advise if I have missed anything.
I used to use this phone and as I liked to tweak it was running a custom rom (think it was Wanams). Anyway I got an upgrade ages ago, and my wife carried on using the phone for a while. As she just needs a standard rom I recently decided to factory reset and use Odin to flash the newest stock rom (N7100XXUFNE1 - UK). This is when the problems started. Initially the Wifi wouldn't come on, but after factory resetting and using the Samsung Updater in Kies I finally managed to get Wifi back. Then, while setting it up and installing apps from the Play store it started freezing and had to be rebooted every 5 or 10 mins. Finally after doing this a couple of times, all the apps were installed and after leaving it to "settle" it seemed to be better. Now however, 2 or 3 times a day, when playing games or using other apps, it will just reboot.
What I have tried is:
* I have tried clearing cache through the stock recovery
* Tried a number of Factory Resets
* After reading about the SDS problem I have tried running the "dummy file generator" to fill the internal memory and this completes ok. I guess this means that although I have memory that is/was susceptible I applied the original SDS fix early enough with the custom rom that all the memory is still ok?
As I have the newest bootloader I can't downgrade that, but as I don't care about triggering Knox I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if any of the other Kernels help?
Has anyone got any idea's what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
Hi,
After upgrading OTA to kitkat (australia version) one of my favourite apps stopped working and caused constant reboots to my tab3.
I tried to downgrade with odin to the stock 4.2.2 (auatralia, from sammobile) but I could not. After flshing, the "samsung galaxy tab 3" logo appeared but the tab never turned on, it kept rebooting and rebooting from ours. I tried the same with other 4.2.2 roms with the same results. However I was able to flash any 4.4.2 rom from sammobile.
After that I tried to flash some 4.2.2 roms using twrp and bindroid, I had the same rebooting problems. However, with twrp I can flash 4.4.2 based roms as pimpdroid.
So, I do not why, apparently my tab only accepts 4.4.2 roms... Any suggestions about what should I do to go back to 4.2.2?
Thanks for your time,
A.
Bootloop in P5210
Hi I'm trying to get back to 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 works because although there are excellent applications like Facebook that are causing me problems. But in trying to make the retoroceso as I usually do with ODIN stock form and I was left in a permanent reboot and does not pass the SAMSUNG logo .... solution? Thank you!:crying:
@planinsky, Have you tried a firmware for another region in the world? I live in the United States but have found firmware for the United Kingdom or Canada works best when I flash. There should not be any difference in the firmwares except for regionalization, but it seems some work and some don't work for me. Regional settings can always be tweaked in the Settings panel after install. Do you have a nandroid backup made in TWRP? Those usually always recover a device. I too had a problem having anything flash when I first started making my rom. 3 weeks I had a device that would not boot. So it is recoverable. Odin will save your device.
@planinsky and @MDCB try to download this firmware from Sammobile. This is for the UK 4.2.2 version. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/28243/P5210XXUANB4_P5210BTUANB1_BTU.zip/
I usually use ODIN 3.07. I assume you know the following but just in case. Remember to flash it in the PDA slot. Only have "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset time" checked.
Using Odin will reset anything the 4.4.2 builds have done to the partitions. If it doesn't work, I can only suggest to try again. When it comes to flashing, sometimes the TWRP builds for our device can be a little goofy in writing. I have not investigated completely. In the 4.2.2 roms I have flashed pimpdroid and cagrom, they seem to flash good with Moonbutt77's philz recovery with very little problems. I however cannot get 4.4 roms to flash in philz but only in TWRP. So sometimes the recovery itself seems to have a problem with the android version, or so it seems.
The above is only written from my experience on this device and cannot predict every situation.
Good luck.
Hi! Thanks for the tips.
Ufortunately, I have already tried 4.2.2 ROMS from different countries (from Sammobile): Australia (the original country of my Tab), UK, New Zealand, Belgium and US. None of them worked. I'm still downloading other ROMS but I'm startin to lose the faith... The custom ROMS I have tried, neither work and get into the bootloop.
The backup I have from TWRP is from a 4.4.2 so it's not a solution.
On the other hand, I can flash almost any 4.4.2 ROM with odin and/or TWRP. So I'm afraid I'll soon give up and I will accept that my Tab will not longer run the app I loved (Movistar TV)... Hopefully with the arrival of lollypop the developers will update the app and the bug which causes the crash will disappear.
Here's the story. I purchased a factory refurb'd Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520NZKAXAR) on Woot a few weeks back. I live in Canada, but it is a USA tablet, if that matters. It came with a 90-day Samsung warranty. As soon as I got it, I started looking at custom ROMs. I have experience with custom ROMs on my HTC One m8 (and old m7), but not with any Samsung devices. I wish I had kept it stock for a few weeks first to check it out, but here we are.
I created a nandroid backup of the stock firmware, however I quickly deleted it during a wipe when flashing my first custom ROM, which was GraveD's v3.0. It seemed to go OK, but then it would start to freeze up and reboot on it's own. This seemed to happen mostly under load, and especially when trying to install apps from the Play store. I tried going back to the stock kernel, thinking that could be the problem. It stopped the crashing, but then wifi wouldn't work. So I could choose between having a tablet that crashes all the time, and has difficulty installing apps, or one without wifi. Both were basically useless.
I tried installing another custom ROM, GigaWatts Pro. Again, flashing seemed to go well, and the ROM also seemed to work very nicely for a couple of days. No random reboots, and wifi worked great. I spent a few days downloading all of my apps and getting things set up the way I like, when yesterday something went wrong. Perhaps the tablet lost its root (is that possible?). All of a sudden, apps are crashing all over the place (Unfortunately, [insert app name] has stopped). Titanium backup hangs at "Asking for root...". Installing apps is also difficult again. The tab doesn't reboot on it's own, but Play Services crashes constantly. Whenever I try to get into developer options, the Settings app crashes. I'm not even 100% sure USB debugging is enabled right now, although I'm still able to flash using ODIN.
I tried doing a factory reset and re-installing GigaWatts. Same problems. Tried making sure the root was OK. Same problems. I've tried using twrp 2.8.0.0 as well as 2.7.1.0 with no luck.
Right now, I've downloaded the stock firmware for Canada T520UEUANI1 4.4.2 (although the tab was bought from a USA site). I assume this also installs it's own Kernel. It shows Kernel version:
3.4.39-2776001

I'm experiencing the same problems. Google Play Newsstand crashes every 10 minutes or so. Settings is almost useless. Installing apps is problematic.
Can anybody tell me if there's something I'm missing? Anything left to try? Does it sound like a hardware/ROM/kernel problem? If it's hardware, can I still utilize the Samsung warranty after trying to flash custom ROMs? I'm going to try to download another Cellular South stock ROM, but it seems like the problems are persisting regardless of which ROM i have installed, so I think it's something else (kernel or hardware-related).
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. My new tablet is basically useless, and I've run out of ideas.
Try this latest firmware since you mentioned your tablet is the XAR model the firmware should be cellular south (wifi)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/39630/T520UEUANK1_T520XARANK1_XAR.zip/
If that doesn't help then it could just be a bad tablet .
(btw when you flashed a custom rom you probably tripped the hardware knox flag and voided any warranty it had, I guess you could play dumb if they ask and say it came like that since it was refurbished, and hope they still repair/replace it)
I just tried the USA cellular south firmware. Still experiencing the exact same issues. I'm completely out of ideas. Does anyone else have any ideas? Otherwise I'm going to have to try warranty service and hope for the best. Is there anything I can do to restore the Knox flag before I send it in?
Also, in download mode the tab is recognizing the system as custom. Is this normal after flashing a stock image?
So do a factory reset in recovery, and clear the cache also. Then load the cellular South file thru Odin. Then factory reset again. See if this clears your problems.

I've tried the Cellular South firmware to no avail. I'll be trying to warranty the tablet now. Fingers crossed!
looking for some suggestions as to what I can to to correct these issues. I have a 210R that I screwed up probably flashed something I should not have... to restore I went to sam mobil and downloaded the latest firmware ( T210RUEU0COB1), installed using Oden and restored the Tab. since I have done this (and yes I redownloaded the firmware and reinstalled to make sure it was a good file and installation) the tab now will boot up fine, but will come up with the error messages Process com.androis.systemui has stopped and often com.sec.android.flashbarservice has stopped as well clicking ok will sometimes let me continue, other times will simply reboot. If it lets me continue whatever app I am using will quickly stop as well and the tab reboots. in addition to this the WiFi barely recieves any signal unless I am almost on top of the router. it is currently stock. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.
Having the same problems minus wifi issues

Dude my tablet is in the same state I use. The many reboots. All apps/process stopping for no reason. Funny thing is this started happening to me after I received an OTA update for 4.4.2 and flashed it. So basically the official update released by samsung messed up my phone. Somebody please respond with suggestions/solutions.
Sigh.... guess I'll just use it as a paperweight ..
Hello,
I was facing some of the problems everyone is reporting here about random restarts and bootloops even (and mostly) using stock firmwares. As many of you started to have the problems after updates my problem started when I tried to root for the first time when SuperSU was not totally working yet. These problems didn't stop even flashing everything to stock (bootloader, modem, firmware, csc) and other stock firmwares from other countries so I was thinking that my phone was faulty too.
Every reboot my phone asked me for a password that I never set, so there was nothing to put there and I always had to reboot into recovery and flash the "no-verity" script or else I would get stuck in a bootloop or the phone asking me for a decrypt password (that didn't exist).
Sometimes when the phone randomly restarted gave me the "verity encryption" error at the beginning when using the stock recovery, if using TWRP it asked me for a password after semi loading Android (since it didn't found the official recovery to show that error from it), so I always suspected that the Samsung encryption was causing all my problems. Tried everything and even made a post about it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/help/random-restarts-password-doesnt-exists-t3450678)
So I kept waiting for something that disabled the phone encryption to verify that this was the real cause of this random behaviour before going to Samsung for warranty. Finally @Tkkg1994 came up with the Hydrakernel that disables the encryption so after trying it and formating everything MY PROBLEMS ARE TOTALLY GONE.
My suspects were finally confirmed..... The Samsung encryption was causing all these sh1ty problems (at least in my phone).
So everyone that is flashing stock firmwares even going back to old ones, it seems that doing this doesn't fix anything once you got into this problem for the first time, only disabling the encryption solves it. So my recommendation would be to disable the force encryption from Samsung by using the Hydrakernel and testing again (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-7/development/kernel-hydrakernel-v1-1-t3452433)
I would like to thank all the devs that are doing their best effort to give us a free Note 7 to enjoy. @Tkkg1994 @dr.ketan @Chainfire it is very admirable that common people like them can solve things that not even Samsung has figured them out yet.
PS: Have you guys flashed this ROM and kernel instead of stock firmwares and continue to have problems with your Note 7??? Give your feedback!!!
Interesting, keep us posted with your phone status...
nice job keeping on testing & we waiting your next result
