[Q] Urgent Help! Bricked Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10in - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all i have bricked my Samsung Galaxy tab 3
I have tried rooting but it ended up giving me a boot loop
Nothing has worked, I have tried flashing a stock ROM, it was unsuccessful, i have tried a rooted ROM, it was successful though i was still stuck in a boot loop, so i flashed Philz recovery and that worked but it didn't clear anything.
I'm currently downloading another Stock ROM and I hope it works.
I also tried adb and that didnt work either.
How can I stock recover this device.

Have you tried using Odin to return to stock? don't forget to "uncheck" auto reboot. After flash completes, shut down, then restart.
Here's a thread for using Odin to return to stock
...and wipe/format system, data, cache etc before flashing

Which version? P5220(the LTE version) P5210(wifi only version) p5200 3g version
you can try out odin, flash everything including stock rom and recovery. Start everything all over.

[Q] Having flashed a stock ROM via Odin, my N7105 will not boot

Hi, I'm fairly new to Rooting and ROM flashing but having successfully flashed a few ROMs to my N7105 (Note II International LTE), I decided to go back to the stock firmware.
Having flashed the stock ROM for my region, my phone now does not get past the Samsung logo. It appears as though everything went ok in Odin but the phone just won't boot!!
Having done a bit of searching, I think it might be that my data/dalvik cache needs to be wiped (if I've got that wrong, be nice - I'm new to this!). Thing is, I can't find a way to wipe this cache without loading in to CWM recovery or similar. The recovery that I can currently boot in to does not allow me to wipe cache, only to go in to download mode or to reboot.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Never mind, just discovered holding Volume Up, Home and Power boots in to the actual recovery mode from which I did a factory resst.
Told you I was a NOOB

[Q] Stuck in a bootloop after using odin.

So i tried flashing back to stock from PA 3.99 RC2 via odin this morning and am now stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo. I flashed LK4 via odin, Odin said the flash was a success and the device rebooted but won't go past the samsung logo. I'm capable to get into download mode but not into the stock recovery. I have tried flashing LK4 3 times and each time i get the same issue. My GS3 is from rogers.
UPDATE: Managed to final get into stock 3e recovery, from there did a wipe date/factory reset and phone booted up just fine. Sorry for this post, if mods feel the need to delete it go ahead.

My s4mini needs assistance.please help

ok this is quite the story, so grab some popcorn. ok so i rooted my s4 mini(SCH-r970) and i wanted to install a custom boot. so i used flash gordon, flashed the zip from rom manager (app) the boot animation enabler for samsung, but when i rebooted the s4 mini logo booted then the screen went off in a loop on, off, on, off so then i decided to use odin to instal cwm recovery then i flashed the samsung qmg enabler from rom manager (app), didnt work. then i went to s4archives and insalled their custom boot file to get by. didnt work. i tried all these other methods like"wipe dalvik cache then wipe cache" nothing works. and now im tring to find a way to fix it.
help?
Try flashing the stock kernel from sammobile.com
Try flashing the stock kernel from sammobile.com. i have duos varient and worked pretty hard to root it (Even bricked once), but then installed stock firmware from sammobile.com and did everything more sophisticatedly.....if your phone isn't hard bricked...keep trying every method you find.

Need expert help getting lollipop working. Tried everything.

Hi all. I've got a Sprint Note 2 that's not active with any plan and I just want to use it as an extra mini tablet.
I want to use it for music and videos as well as for making music with Caustic. For this to work with low latency I need lollipop.
Previously the phone was rooted and was running twrp and various kitkat ROMs.
I found a version of cyanide ROM that's a tablet style rom with no mobile data or calling enable. Wifi only.
plus therebwas this Shift package that would enablenetflix to work. Great.
So i downloaded cyanide tablet version, shift and gapps. Using twrp i did a full wipe and flashed the rom and shift but gapps wouldnt flash.
So for the time being I gave up on gapps (though I will definitely need the play store to load my purchased apps.
When I tried to boot the phone it just hung at the bootup animation.
Someone suggested I use philz recvery. I flashed philz with odin and booted into recovery. Sure enough philz was working. So then i wiped again and tried to flash the cyanide rom again. This time not even worrying about gapps until i could verify that the rom would flash boot up.
Again it got stuck in the boot animation screen. I tried flashing it with odin instead of from the microsd card. Again stuck in the boot animation.
I reinstalled twrp and tried flashing with that again. Same issue.
So then I tried cw12.1. Even though netflix doesn't work on it last I checked. I wiped and flashed and again stuck in boot animation. Though this time its the cm animation. So i know the rom was at least flashed.
This i thought perhaps somehow i lost root so none of these kernels would load. So i downloaded cf autoroot and flashed with odin which said it was successful. Phone rebooted...again stuck at bootup animation.
So basically the phone is bricked. What should I do? Install stock rom with stock recovery, then root and wipe and install cyanide? Or should NOT wippe and install it? How shoud I root it, with what methos and when during the flashing sequence. Ive tried every combination I could think of

Help flashing back to stock, tried everything.

Hi, i'm having trouble flashing back to stock.
I've got the latest stock firmware from sammobile.
Using twrp to install it says missing META-INF as the firmware zip isn't made the same as custom firmware.
Adding the tar.md5 to ap in odin flashes the boot and recovery but goes extremely slow when it starts flashing system (left it 2 hours and it hadn't even got half way) I'm guessing that's not normal.
I took a backup with twrp before I started flashing in twrp which flashes fine but I get endless boot loop when trying to start it.
I've tried fastboot but it doesn't detect the tablet.
I've tried different usb ports, cables, different versions of odin and different stock firmware. I'm ready to throw it out the window.
One thing to note is the [P600][Touchwiz] Marshmallow Rom 20170622 works great but also boot loops when I turn it off and on again, I have to boot into twrp then choose reboot in there and then it boots ok, that doesn't work with my twrp backup though.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.
Well for some reason after installing marshmallow rom again then installing my backup it boots fine, havn't a clue why it failed to boot the other 4 times.
Nope
Back to continuous boot loop after second reboot.
All I did was turned developer options off and it's boot looping again.
Flashed original stock boot.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5 then factory reset and wiped cache but still boot loops.
Is it because I flashed a Marshmallow custom rom so it so you can't downgrade to a lolipop rom even though it's stock? Boot loader changed? Kernel?

I'm not quite sure what your problem is but you should be able to downgrade, I've done it before.
Try this guide first. I've had success with it.
If all goes well you can then try to flash your stock ROM. The one I've flashed successfully in the past is the one in this post.
Good luck!
You may need to repartition your system. Tick the repartition in Odin. **All data will be lost**
