I've tried to flash many things using Odin 3.07 to my Samsung Tab 3 (SM-t210r). This includes newer version of TWRP, CWR, BlackHawk Kernel, and stock firmware. Odin says success, and then Pass but when I boot up there are no changes - old version of TWRP still installed, all apps still installed, etc. I've also used two other versions of Odin no luck.
Also, TWRP always errors out when trying to install any ROM. I can communicate vi adb any problems, for example push, sideload, devices, etc.
What lead to this is that suddenly in the middle of the night the tablet started on an endless reboot loop. It boots up to the normal screen and then after 10 seconds reboots. The date that shows in Dec. 31/2011.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

I am trying to fix a Samsung Note 2 (Model No. SGH-i317) that refuses to boot.
When you push power, the white Samsung logo appears and just stays there until you pop the battery and remove USB power.
It will not go into the recovery menu after pushing Power+VolUp+Home.
It will however go into download mode after pushing Power+VolDn+Home. Once in download mode I tried to update the kernel to no avail. I also tried to install CWM thinking that maybe installing a new recovery over an old stock one that was corrupted somehow might help. Both approaches did nothing.
The device was originally running stock Samsung; I never attempted to load another ROM until this problem hit. So the phone was just as it was from the factory two years ago when this problem recently hit and I have been trying to fix it. After trying to flash the aforementioned things, the counter on the download screen (i.e. Odin), now shows the number of different times I have tried to update the recovery or the kernel, which is currently at four or five.
So, some aspects of the phone are working but clearly not enough for me to even get it to recovery, let alone boot. Any advice? Many thanks in advance.

Flashing Kernel did not help

I run Linux and don't really have access to a Windows box and have been using heimdall to flash things. When you said
"Try to odin the stock firmware"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is that the same as trying to loading a kernel image and then going to recovery before it fully boots? If so, I tried that with the following command using the image I downloaded from sammobile.com. This is the command that I ran:
Code:
heimdall flash --kernel KIES_HOME_I317UCAMA4_I317ATTAMA4_578342_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 --verbose
That resulted in the same as when I tried to flash a new CWM recovery. It doesn't allow me to access the recovery, it just boots and shows the white Samsung logo and hangs there till you pop the battery & remove the USB cable.
If what you are suggesting is something different than the flash that I did with the image from sammobile.com, please let me know. This is my first attempt to fix something like this. Many many thanks.
I got the Tab Pro 12.2 a couple of weeks ago (refurb). It worked flawlessly, so I decided to root it, etc. It no longer works.
Two points.
(BOOT 1) - On a 'normal' boot it will get past the blue swirl with about 1 second of audio, then stops with "SAMSUNG" on the screen.
(BOOT 2) - On a Pwr on/Vol- (hard) boot, it will come up with "press vol +)" at which time it boots to ODIN. No way can I get it to boot to TWRP (see following)
Conditions: Windows 10 Tech Preview, Dell XPS 18 (USB 2 and 3), latest USB driver from Samsung, ODIN 3.10, Kies 3. The tablet connects with ODIN.
I loaded CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5). Success, BUT tablet reboots to BOOT 1, above.
I loaded "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar". Success, BUT reboots to BOOT1 above.
If I do a "hard" boot, I'm back with ODIN. TWRP won't boot. Tried the same with CWM (getting stupid here). Boots to ODIN. Basically, I can't boot into any recovery program.
Tried loading "SM-T900_XAR_1_20140508111550_703bt27ewy.tar". Again, loads but no joy.
Loaded the original ROM from SamMoblie. Again, no dice.
Am I screwed or what? Please help if you can. Thanks.

Try a different ODIN version.
I've come up with something similar in the past.
ODIN reports OK but nothing is really written to the Tab.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few versions of ODIN. One or two of the older ones didn't work at all.. Currently using 3.10.6. Maybe I'll go back and retry a couple.
With tablet in download mode: I tried Kies and it reported the tablet as an unrecognized device. Tried ADB. It didn't see the tablet at all.
Any great insights (or guesses) would be appreciated!
Thanks

Plug in the Tab and check in your computer device manager list that the device shows connected to the USB port and the drive installed is Samsung Android ADB Interface, if it isn't change it to this driver.
Make sure you are using the original USB cable and its plugged directly into the PC and not via any Hubs.

Try loading this in odin(P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar) then see if you can get into stock recovery and wipe cache and data to return to default settings. See if your stock rom loads.... If so then
flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 in odin then reboot
If all is working then flash
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-v2wifixx.img.tar
instead of the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar( this seemed to not load on my tablet pro 12.2)
See if it boots up for you.
Then you can install custom rom if you want from twrp.

Thanks for the advice. I couldn't find a download link for the 2.8.0.0 but found openrecovery-twrp-v1a3gxx.img.tar. I'm guessing it's for a 3G version but it works. I used ODIN3 v3.10.6.exe on the PC. So far, I have twrp and the stock ROM running and everything works nicely. I still haven't managed to root it. Keeps getting stuck on cache. Can it be rooted after twrp has been loaded?
I actually may try to use the tablet for a while instead of continually poking and reloading it.
I have a strange boot loop issue (GT-P5210) Tab 3 10.1
I tried Philz CWM and TWRP and some flashes via Odin
I tried to install stock ROM's and pre-rooted Stock ROM's of different versions from sammobile and here on the xda forums and samsung-updates dot com
I tried a few recovery version's as well
And finally, thinking my partition table got screwed up I even looked for hours and found the pit file and tried that along with a recovery
The recoveries I tried are both through Odin and through TWRP and CWM, and my results vary slightly but never result in a good full boot.
Sometimes the tablet reboots upon the Samsung logo
Sometimes the Tablet tries to boot and even gets the Blue splash but just sits there endlessly without rebooting but at the same screen
I am at a loss as far as what to try next, what version, and in what order.
Anyone else experience this or have any direction they can please put me in?
[update]
I found that with latest TWRP 2.8.6.0 and no other recovery can I successfully flash CM12 and have it boot correctly, so how the heck do I get stock back on here? I am completely confused now.
I fixed it, took a bunch of trial and error and trying different ROM's from sammobile but also needed stock bootloader to fix the denied access to \data by properly wiping it, doing so from TWRP and CWM failed to fix it, only fixed from stock.
HELP -SM-T805 (807A for AT&T) failed ODIN CF-AutoRoot now won't boot, can't recovery
Hello Team,
I have 2 Devices, SM-T807A (AT&T USA) running Marshmallow.
I have downloaded the newest CF-AutoRoot and Odin V3.10.6 as instructed.
I attempted to flash the devices using CF-Autoroot.tar by clicking the "AP", I made Sure I only selected "Auto-Reboot" and "F Reset Time".
It loaded the image, started the process and gave me an error, "NAND Write Fail".
I tried the second device now, different cable, different CF auto-root download, same options, same result.
The device rebooted and now I am stuck at the screen asking me to connected to Kies to recover the device.
I connected to Kies and Smart Switch to do an "Emergency Recovery", and both devices cannot be seen to be restored. I used 4 different cables, all ports on a Mac and Windows device.
What I have attempted:
- To refresh a stock firmware, Tried the germany vodafone version and the swisscom, both failed
- Attempted to reflash CF auto root several times with many different ODIN versions, same result
- Attempted to flash TWRP to use a different recovery method, fails as well
What happens now?
- Device won't boot normally
- Recovery mode brings me to the Samsung error screen (Power+Home+Up)
- Download is still working but that's just about it
- Knox has not been tripped
- Device info shows that Official Samsung boot loader and image are both installed
This is not my first rooting, but I am completely out of ideas on what to do to fix this? Any thoughts?

Unfortunately the bootloader is locked on that device, so it can't be rooted with traditional tools.
It's simple enough to recover from this error.
The firmware is available on the forum.
I have a Galaxy Tab3 7.0 SM-T210 that we've owned for a long time, but I now want to use it for more things and find it a little clunky and slow compared to our more up to date smart phones. So i wanted to flash with a newer version of Android, but the tablet now appears to be bricked showing the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and it won't do anything else. It won't enter download mode or recovery mode.
I came across these instructions to take me from a stock tab, and upgrade to Android 9.0 theupgradeguide.com/2019/09/17/install-android-9-0-pie-on-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-7-0-lineageos-16-how-to-guide
I loaded TWRP successfully using Odin and was able to set up a Nandroid backup. I then moved on to part 5 to perform a factory reset of the device, which was successful. This is where it started to go wrong though! I chose the reboot option after the wipe, rather than as per the instructions going back to the TWRP main menu. The tab rebooted and would't get past the Samsung logo. It went back in to download mode when I tried, and then tried to flash with a stock version of KitKat Android. Odin recognised the tab connected, it accepted the .tar flash file, and the tab showed the progress bar showing the download happening. Then Odin failed after a few minutes, and then the firmware upgrade failure error message appeared.
After lots of internet searching I've tried the following:
1. Putting it in download mode, doesn't work!
2. Putting it in recovery mode, doesn't work!
3. Connecting it to Kies, device not recognised and latest version of Kies doesn't have the option to manually select your device to reload the firmware!
4. Tried using ADB, device isn't recognised!
So i'm at a loss what to do to fix it, can anyone help?!
I was just trying to do the same yesterday. It all went fine with backing up and wiping, but TWRP didnt accept the image I downloaded.
It is so sad to have a capable hardware limited due lack of manufacturer care (not even saying updates, because they updated the android version at the time, but lack of optimization and how my tablet became sluggish, gave me disgust of any samsung branded device).
Can't you get to TWRP screen anymore?
If you can get to Odin download mode, trying reflashing Odin (perhaps a different version).
