Hi!
So i have a weird situation with Tab 3 P5200.. It belongs to one of my friends and it just got to bootloop with no reason. No root or custom roms installed, not even developer mode on. So i tried to flash official rom with odin but still the same. And weird thing is that sometimes it starts normally but then in minutes it starts the bootloop again.
Then i flashed 4.2.2 china variant with all the four files, pit, csc,pda etc.. And it runs normally. But there is no play store and my friend need finnish language. So now i tried install again that china variant and after that nordic 4.2.2 variant. And it works now.. And finds system update too, don't know will it install it but let's see. And before it started bootloop again after reboot so...
Do you guys have any suggestions..? Or any idea where to find full rom with all 4 files in it for nordic countries?

After an update to Samsung Apps, it disappeared from my phone, so I flashed it with original indian FW but Samsung Apps still didn't come. I tried even Nordic FW but nothing changed. In these two FWs BOOTFILES and FFS files were not there. Today I got European FW which had bootfiles and FFS too. So I flashed using this FW and got my Samsung Apps back. So I thought I should go back to original Indian FW and tried flashing it. Flashing goes successful but nothing actually changes. And Samsung Apps disappears again. Anyone know why this is happening?
Hi,
which firmware did you tried ?

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.
So i tried flashing the pa_n7100-4.6-BETA4-20141009 rom as well as cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-n7100 onto what i'm sure is my note 2 n7100. While installing, at the start, the recovery says the rom is meant for a t03g while mine's a t0ltetmo. There is no way in hell my phone's a t-mobile : firstly , i live in india, a country free from the tyranny of t-mobile, and secondly, it says gt-n7100 on bootup from stock rom. I tried removing the version checking part in the rom, hoping to force install it anyway, but it just popped up 'error'. Then i tried flashing one of the few roms available for the t0ltetmo, the Slim-t0ltetmo-4.4.4.build.8.0-OFFICIAL-6945 rom. After a successful installation, it was just stuck on the boot screen. I'm not saying i dont like the shiny slimkat logo twirling around, but i would eventually like to use my phone too. I'm now back to my stock rom after flashing my friend's n7100 recovery image, and then factory resetting, because cwm 'lost' my backup file. Anyway, i'd love to have the new 5.0 cm12 alpha, but i'm apprehensive now. Help me? :crying:
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!
