Bootloop after installing stock on top of CM9 - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

Hi all,
I am trying install the stock rom P7310XXKJ4------2011 October----P7310XEUKJ4-----UK/Ireland on my P7310, via odin
It seems to be successful, and then reboots, but then gets stuck in a boot loop. I can access recovery mode and download mode. I have tried this twice, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Go to recovery and do a factory reset. This will delete everything but it should fix your problem.

Also check "F Reset Time" in Odin and repartition using a 512 pit file. This will avoid you some common errors.

Make sure you wipe data/factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery then flash this should work fine for you maybe even clear the cache's after flash too

Hijacking the thread to the same destination. I was throwing in the towel and about to start the exact same thread, but I'm sill stuck. After researching a bit and trying a couple of things, I seem to be making things worse, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and ask for help while I still can use Odin.
I had also tried to install stock over CM9 and ended up in a bootloop with the blue CM9 guy showing. If fact, I couldn't even shut the tab off, it would power on and re-bootloop. I could get into recovery or Odin mode. I did a factory reset, didn't help. Installing from recovery wouldn't work, as I didn't have anything left on it to install. I researched and the thread with the stock firmware says "Extract tar file from the ROM(remember to extract it till .tar or tar.md5, dont go deep).". When I use 7zip to extract the zip file, I don't have a .tar file, what am I doing wrong? If I take the unzipped file and compress them to a tar file, the installation fails. After reading this thread, I installed the GT89pitfile.pit from the toolbox, and now I'm stuck in Odin; if I try to go to recovery, the icon just flashes and won't go anywhere.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I gave you a link in this post to a thread which contains all ODIN images. Select one image depending on your model (7300 is the 3G model whereas 7310 is the Wi-Fi only model) and then extract the .zip contents and there is your image. The PIT file, as I suggested in my guide, is to be used in conjunction with a .tar ODIN firmware image to Repartition the device in case something goes terribly awry and still, that's no guarantee it will be the ultimate solution. Redownload your desired image.
EDIT: Once you successfully flash through ODIN, in order to go back to stock you HAVE TO do a factory reset in the Stock Recovery menu. Note that you will lose everything including the SDcard contents.

My point is, when I extract the .zip file, there is no .tar file to flash.

My question is, have you downloaded the zip file from the link I gave you, and even redownloaded to make sure it wasn't a corrupted download?

[Q] Custom Kernel flashes via Odin but doesn't download on the phone

[Q] Custom Kernel flashes via Odin but doesn't download on the phone
Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 running CM7 nightly build 04282011, I followed the posted guides and flashed both the Speedmod and CM7 kernel without issue using Odin.
I downloaded the Glitch Kernel V6B, wiped the data cache and davlik cache. I put the phone into download mode, opened Odin and connected the phone via USB. Odin reported the phone as connected.
I place the Zimage.tar which I extracted from the zip into PDA with auto-reboot and reset time ticked. I start Odin, the process is 'successful' but I notice the blue download bar doesn't appear on the phone, anyway I'm just happy I haven't bricked the phone! It reboots, loads CM7. I check in 'about' and the kernel has not changed!
I'm at a loss, as to what I'm doing wrong. I suspect it must be the way I'm extracting the Zimage file from the Glitch V6B zip, because when I extract it (Windows 7) using 7-zip it is just a plain Zimage file. I rename it Zimage.tar and Odin recognizes it. Hopefully I'm being a complete noob, as I want to overclock!
Many Thanks
Turbotab
If Odin does not install it is usually file wrong format /wrong file .
Choosing a very advanced rom to start with .
jje
I think you're right about the wrong format. Unlike the other 2 kernels I mentioned which were just Zimage.tar, the Glitch kernel came in a zip file with lots of other files. Do I have to compile / extract this in a certain way, or better yet is there a guide?, I had a look but couldn't see one.
Cheers
Anybody?, sorry if it's a noob question.
tk-glitch's kernel does not need flashing thru odin.
you simply place the zip file on the root of your sd card and boot into recovery and flash it that way.
extracting it and flashing through odin.... your lucky that you didnt brick your phone.

Soft bricked N7000. How to?

Tried everything I could with Odin and phone still stuck in a start loop.
I was downgrading from checkROM to official firmware ZSLA2 with CWM (I wanted to keep ROOT, so I selected "Keep CF-Root kernel") due to stability issues, after restarting the phone got into the start loop.
I flashed with Odin official ZSLA2 with the same result (looped start). I flashed XXKKA (again looped start). During the flashing process, Odin says the flashing was successful. By the way, both ROMS are tar.md5 files.
I tried to remove the battery for over 30 minutes and charge it for 2 hours, tried re-partition in Odin (it's my understanding that with a stock rom, it creates a clean installation), but Odin fails to start the process.
What else can I do?
I am sorry if this has previously asked, but I've been searching for over 2 hours and nothing similar came. Somebody mentioned to use a PIT file in addition, but the other person who got his phone soft bricked didn't solve the problem either. As downloading a ROM is time consuming and I've got many problems with upload sites in china (cannot access to most of them), I would thank any help in regards this issue.
Sounds like your kernel isn't talking properly to your ROM.
A fresh start is your best bet. Flash a stock rom and kernel from Odin and reroot it with CF-Root.
What files are you putting into Odin? There should be a total of 4.
I'd also avoid the use of a .pit file. I haven't even seen the mention of one in all my time on the Note forum. I really don't think Samsung uses them the way they used to. (I used to have to flash one all the time when testing roms on the original galaxy tab.)
I am using official ROM N7000ZSLA2_N7000ZSLA2_N7000XLA4_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA and also tried ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XEUKK3_N7000XXKK5_HOME.tar.md5, which I used successfully in the past to make root into my phone.
Does it really make a difference to flash 4 separate files instead of a full pack? Where can I find an official ROM with pda radio and kernel separated? Just untar the ROM?

Oh, they do come into the Note; I flashed the Beta ICS, and one of the things they mention is to use the PIT file for the 16GB version, instead of the 32GB that comes with the leaked ROM. Unfortunately I deleted that ROM, and donwloading it is painfully slow and also wouldn't necessarily solve my problem as I couldn't even make a phone call.
True - the .pit file can change the size of the partition data... But that's not your problem. If the .pit file was the problem - you'd boot, but have 0 storage space (or something else wonky pertaining to your disk size.)
Open the tar up and make sure it has all the files in it. Should be 5.
I've attached a screenshot of the 5 file names. Make sure they are all in the .tar you are flashing.
Even i had similar problem after flashing Stock ROM using Odin (PC). Only thing i did is just rebooted in recovery and Wipe/factory Reset and Wipe cache. everything went fine.

Well, I finally managed to get my phone back. I was getting a lot of corrupted ROMS. I couldn't download your ROM as well; I managed to install the Beta ICS 4.0.3 which comes with a PIT for repartition, as I think the problem was that my booting partition was screwed.
Problem now is: that rom screws the phone and the keyboard, but at least I have my phone back.
Thank you

I have just recently dowloaded and installed the rom without problem. What do you mean by corrupted rom?

I too bricked my phone but after reading this guide (ABD wouldn't recognise my device so I couldn't follow it) I understood the partitions had become messed up.
I read somewhere about the PIT files.
I ODINed the ABYSS Kernal and PIT (Q1_20110914_16GB-patched) for my 16gb n7000 ticked the repartition box. It booted into CWM recovery and I used the restore and bingo.
Fix The problem
I had the same problem, the device got into start loop. JUST DO A FULL WIPE..! and the device should start normally. I worked for me.... :good:

[HELP] Assistance please

I fear i may have bricked my phone...
I was trying to create a custom ROM, set the ROM to wipe data. After i installed the ROM via CWM i got stuck in a boot loop.
I am able to boot into CWM as well as download mode.
Things I've tried:
1) Flashing stock ROM - still boot loop after doing this. It also asks to install an un-trusted package after flashing, not sure what this is.
2) Flash PARAM_I8190.tar.md5 - Still boot loop
3) Restore from backup - Gives me an error "Error while restoring /data!"
I've wiped data, cache, everything... but the boot loop persists.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, no i haven't tried that. I remember saving a pit file a while back but can't find it at the moment.
Is there any other way to get one?
Are they device specific?
Thanks,

there is one on here somewhere

Yeah i found it thanks, do i have to flash the pit file along with the stock ROM?
with stock rom or kernal
Hmmm, okay I've flashed the PIT file at the same time as stock ROM, and still it's stuck in a loop
Okay this is sorted, i flashed stock recovery then re-flashed firmware.
Thanks David for you assistance.

HELP! Absolutely CANNOT boot into CWM

I followed everything via this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147852 and successfully flashed CWM to my GT-I8190.
The problem arises when I attempt to boot into recovery mode. Every time I attempt it, I am taken to the stock android recovery screen and not CWM. I've tried different versions of Odin... the touch version of CWM.. using a different computer... all to no avail.
I even downloaded Rom Manager thru Google Play and attempted to flash/update CWM from there (as it said it was, indeed, installed on my phone) but it wouldn't let me reboot the phone into recovery from Rom Manager - I imagine because I am not rooted.
I'm attempting to root my phone and flashing CWM is the first step. Like I said, the flash was, indeed, successful but the problem is that it always takes me into stock recovery instead of CWM.
Thanks in advanced, guys!
try another custom recovery, for example this one.
Wait until Odin says "success" and then reboot into recovery via Vol+ Home and Power

Same deal, xXPR0T0TYPEXx... I extract the .zip to find merely an image file.. I tried it with Odin anyway but Odin will not recognize it.
Hmmmmm.... I may have to go with vROOT if you tell me it's safe to use.
Another way of root is by flashing unsecure kernel. You can do it easily by Android Toolkit.

SM-920T stuck on logo screen

I messed up
Tried to unroot my N5 and ended up bricking it.
I dont have original backup (pc formatted) so i tried flashing another 920T ROM to it but it keepos failing.
When i flash Noble_Kernel_Auto-Root and philz_touch i get a pass on each. Just trying differentways to get in.
I try sideloading and adb says success but nothing happens on the phone.
I've already done a factory reset so nothing to save here, I just want to get it up and running.
I've done quite a bit of reading on here but i know i need help.
Using Odin 3.09, 3.10.6 &.7
Any help appreciated.

Why didn't you use the recovery to make a backup so you could easily restore it when something like this happens?
Download the correct firmware for your phone and then extract it so all of the files are able to be put in the slots on Odin (BL, PA etc etc) because you have to flash them like that now.

Thanks for the reply. Newbie dumbass move i guess. still learning.
Question...when i extract the files, will i have to load them individually to their correct slots or do i just select one file and it auto populates ?
On another note, i managed to sideload a zip just now but nothing came of that.

You have to put them all in the respective slots individually but at the same time so they flash 1 after the other..
Try getting the firmware from here.

Ok, so I'm back......after trying several things which i'll list step by step for someone else who may be frustrated
I got the zip you linked to but i couldn't get the individual files for loading. all i saw was N920Txxxx.md5 and it kept failing when i hit start. (was loading it in AP)
I then deleted the .md5 extension and it became a .tar in Winrar format.
I extracted the files and got the sboot.bin to load in CP, this got a PASS.
Still stuck on logo after reboot.
Next i loaded the .tar file in CSC and Voila ! Wrote, got PASS, phone rebooted and now works fine.
My hat off to you MrMike2182 :good:
Now i'm going to look up how to clear the Knox counter.
