So my buddy has a dead T210 (well, thats what it says on the back.)
When we try to start it it gets stuck on the looping samsung animations.
Recovery generally doesnt boot, but if it does it gets stuck on some android with a spinning cog.
Download seems to work.
Should i just flash this twrp and load a custom rom, or is there something else i can do?
You could flash back to stock with Odin. You will have to get the firmware from either sammobile dot com or samsung-updates dot com......
But flashing a custom recovery and a custom rom will work just as well.
It's down to you whether you want the stability of the firmware or the (potentially) better performance of custom......

So, i have a Samsung Galaxy S III i747... Flashed it with CyanogenMod, and saw horrible battery life, and the phone stayed hot... Flashed back to an older version of CyanogenMod, and it was just unstable and a mess, so i formatted everything from recovery, and installed the stock ROM via Odin... Stock ROM worked, but i wanted back to Cyanogen, so i rooted the phone, downloaded the ROM manager, downloaded the ROM, and installed it... And it failed. So, i figured i'd hit the NAND Erase All button in Odin, and then repartition the phone, thinking the buttons wouldn't blow up the world... Now i'm stuck at the Samsung logo at boot. I've tried several different versions of the stock ROM, i can still get into recovery, and i can still get into download mode, but it always get stuck at the Samsung Logo after the AT&T carrier video.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm really hoping i didn't brick my phone... Odin sees it, and everything still works, i just can't boot the stock ROM, which means i can't get anywhere else.
try a factory reset in recovery after flashing rom

I Odin'd to stock a couple days ago and was at the Samsung Logo for a WHILE (over and hour). It did just go eventually.
Not sure what did it... Got a PIT file, and then did the NAND Erase All bit again when i installed the stock ROM again. Wiped data as soon as install finished, and it booted right up. I'm happy again
Now if i can just figure out the LTE glitch...
was stuck on samsung logo . now the yellow triangle..device wont go into the logo menu again (the restarting part. stuck with yellow triangle telling me to go to recovery)
i tried flashing roms which failed to flash.. i then just restored my tablet
i had access to recovery till i tried installing a boatloader required for another stock rom on the rom section. that lead to the yellow triangle.
so no access to recovery.. i am currently in the middle of emergency recovery..and downloaded stock rom to flash through odin if that doesnt work
i am stressed out right now.. need my tab for school next week.. bricked it yesterday.. worked all day and night .. now i have odin to use after kies doesn't work
i was using twrp 2.5
the roms just wouldnt flash and i restored the system.. about 3 times i tried flashing and failed. then restored.. but stuck at logo
what to do from here?
the kies is at around 50% downloading stupid update of the software..for the note 8

That's suck, download your firmware from sammobile.com and make sure you get correct firmware labelled by country. then open up odin and load the firmware and put your tab into download mode and flash. If you're not sure how to use odin use guide from general section
I have a Note 8.0 that is stuck in a boot loop. It get to the initial screen. "Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110" and then screen goes blank and it starts over again. Never goes past this screen. I have flashed a stock rom (\N5110UEU2COI3_N5110XAR2COI3_HOME.tar.md5) using odin. Odin gives me a pass when it is finished but the issue persists.
Any help with this is appreciated.
Re-flash the stock ROM but, before booting for the first time, boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This may help get out of the bootloop.
audit13, thanks for the suggestion. I tried 3 times with no success. I did see the android with his belly door opened and the blue box spinning. Didn't see that before. However when I boot into recovery the android's belly door has a red triangle in it. A full wipe/reset has no effect and the symptoms persist.
Any other thoughts? Thanks again
I recommend trying again with Odin 3.07.
In Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time. Connect the tablet in download mode, flash the tar.md5 file in PDA. When you see the word "Reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, press and hold the power button to power off the unit. After the unit is off, use the key combination to boot immediately into recovery and perform a factory wipe/reset. If that doesn't work, you may need to flash the ROM in combination with a pit file.
audit13, tried your instructions and still ended up with the same issue. I used odin3 v3.07. Can you point me to the pit file you referred to in your previous post.
I have this file - BL_N5110UEU2CNE2_1498778_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
and this - CSC_XAR_N5110XAR2CNE2_1498778_REV01_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Are they of any use to me in this situation?
Thanks again for taking an interest in my problem, Keith
Did you download the stock ROM from sammobile? If you did, you should unzip the file once which gives you a tar.md5 file. It is this tar.md5 that is flashed in the PDA section of Odin 3.07.
SamMobile has many countries listed but not USA. Do I use Cellular South? The file I have been trying was not from SamMobile.
When you boot into download mode, does it give you the model #? Do you see anything about Knox or warranty bit in download mode?
The firmware named in the original post looks like it matches Cellular South.
I'm not sure if the 5110 was sold in the USA. If your model is wifi only, another country may work. If it's celluar, different countries use different frequencies which means cross flashing may work but connectivity (wifi and cellular) may not work.
Download mode shows this:
Odin mode (in red)
Product name: GT-N5110
Current binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 0
RP SWREV: A2
It's strange that you were able to flash a stock ROM but the system status is "custom".
I suggest trying to flash an entire ROM from sammobile.com similar to the BL and CSC you flashed earlier. It may be simplet to install a custom recovery and flash a custom ROM so you can at least confirm the baseband and bootloader currently installed.
I'll give a custom recovery and rom a try tonight after work. TWRP and any stable build correct?
As for those two separate files, I didn't try anything with them. I downloaded them in case I needed to use them.
This is a board that I got off eBay for $5 and I don't know it's history. Could this issue be hardware related? The board looks good with no signs of corrosion (water damage) of hot spots (electrical surge).
It seems as though it can't find the os on boot.
Thanks again.
Did the board ever boot or was it stuck in a bootloop from the beginning? How did you know which bootloader to flash?
The board has never booted. The only files I have flashed are the one in my first post and the one from SamMobile (Cellular South) as per your instructions. These two files appear to be one in the same. Both files when flashed produced the same result, boot loop.
Do the files contain a boot loader? It sure feels like that is where the problem lies.
Success! Flashed TWRP and then installed SlimKat 4.4.4 and all is working. Need to get gapps installed but for now this board is good.
audit13, thanks again for you interest in my issue.
hi, i just sold this phone and they want it back to stock. It had cyanogenmod on it, but i cant remember which one probably cm11. so i went to odin 3.09 and get a UK (BTU) rom from samsung-updates.com. the phone was stuck at the boot logo. okay. so i had another rom and i was try to use odin3.10.6 with no luck. at this point i tried to Re-Partition the phone because i thought CM using a diferent file system. it is now stuck at the samsung galaxy logo. and odin3 gives an error if i try to flash these 2 roms again. (i downloading other ones but it is free slow speed and 1 at a time)
I get 'Secure Check Fail: aboot' so i think the baseband version is not good. if i get a non uk version is it still be the same and english language? or will it have another network's boot logo or anything?
i still can get to the download mode, i just need to know as long as that works this can be saved. if not then i wont waste my time.
i managed to install latest twrp and then flash lineage os. i had some error messages, but the rom boots up and seems like it is working fine. how can i find out which stock rom i need to get it boot up after odin3 flashed?
so after that i flashed a stock rom with odin, but then i had no wifi. i need a good stock rom for Uk model.
edit: okay i flashed another one and now it is all up and running, probably the modem version wasn't match. so thanks for the help! (for myself )
Maybe it will help for someone in the future, i hope. greetings from the past!
Hello, I have this SM-T520 galaxy tab pro 10.1 that I bought new some years ago. I had rooted it and ran with it for a while until I wanted to flash a custom rom. I can't remember how that went but I assume it went badly, since it hasn't been able to boot into anything for years. It tries to boot up as long as it has power (even without pressing the power button) but it doesn't do anything after you get to the Samsung screen. It just stays on a back lit black screen. I can get into the Android system recovery by pressing power and volume up, then releasing power. It says it has "K0T49H.T520XXUANAE" at the top but I'm not sure if I had changed that at some point. Anyway, even after wiping data/factory reset and wiping cache partition it still cannot boot. I tried updating from external storage a few times before but it kept failing. Maybe I had the wrong file? What can I do to fix this thing? Any help is appreciated.
Go to pc, download odin. Go to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ enter device and look and download lastest offered firmware for your region. Flash downloaded firmware with odin. You should be on a booting stock rom now.
You can do this as often as you like (eg. when device is bad after playing with custom roms).

That worked perfectly... I feel like that was too simple and I should have been able to find this online somewhere. Maybe I just couldn't find the right word combo in google.... Thanks!!
Now to try flashing a custom rom on this, since touchwiz makes me cringe.
