I've been running CM 10.1 on my 7310 for a couple of months - it's slow, but it does the job.
Today it started misbehaving more than usual, so I rebooted. It's spent the afternoon rebooting itself about once every five minutes - freeze and hard reboot (Samsung splash screen). I tried different versions of CM and AOKP to figure out if it was hardware or software, no change.
I wiped it and flashed CM 9 nightlies a couple of hours ago, and got the same behaviour. After some googling I found aLogrec and turned it on. As soon as it boots and tries to start recording the logcat, it hard reboots. I figure the onboard flash storage is borked - is there anything I can do? I can't even get it to boot into Recovery, it just loops forever.
I'm hoping someone out there can give me some ideas before I go out and spend on a Nexus 7..
Have you tried to see what happens if you install official ICS with Odin?

Odin recognised it and has flashed the right ICS official, but it just sits on a glowing Samsung logo.
Odp: [Q] Is my Tab dead?
I will wipe all data/cache from recovery and see if that works, but I'm not so experienced and you should wait for someone with proper knowledge to give you advice But you just might give it a try
First thing I tried, but thanks for the suggestion

It's been stable on the CM10.1 M2 build all day. I don't know why the official 4.0.4 firmware didn't work, but I'm glad I tried 3.2 before giving up.

Be a ninja and paste the link to the rom you used. I've borked my upgrade too. I can get in to loki for oden to send the rom, just need the rom that will work with oden.

I flashed the 4.0.4 from here and it didn't work, so I tried the 3.2 and restored it to shipped state using Odin. After that I rooted and reinstalled CWM with Odin, and then flashed the CM 10.1 M2 build from the Development forum here the usual way (copy to SDcard, reboot recovery).
Good. I should have mentioned you have to start with gingerbread. Could have saved you a step.

On, I flashed overcome, and it gave me a new recovery. I then restored my stock ROM backup. It got stuck in a boot loop
Now I can't boot to recovery!! Help!!
I can get to download now, but how can I get to recovery? Please please help!!

Get the overcome kernel in .tar format, flash it via odin. You should get a recovery mode.
Or find a CWM in the dev section flashable from odin or heimdell.

I love you man. seriously. Your effort is really really really appreciated. I can't express it in words. Thanks a lot man, you're a legend!
So will this definitely fix my problem? So, flashing the kernel should also give me the recovery right? so from there, I press volume up and power, and will that give me the overcome recovery?
then do i just restore my overcome backup, and reboot, will everything be wokring as it should?
Thanks a lot once again man, you have really saved my pants, I feared the worse for my tab!
Btw, when I was on overcome, I never managed to nandroid restore.
Not bootloop, just the result force closes. And I had to wipe data and restore from TB.
Edit: kernel download fine from here.
Have you heard of the anonymouse site?
Sometimes you can use that to proxy.

Thanks! But once I have the Overcome recovery back, will my overcome backup restore? Will that work and be possible?
So once i flash the kernel, can i access the recovery by volume up and power? Can you confirm this please mate? Cause at the moment, pressing it does nothing, but i guess it is because i have no recovery installed, am i right?
cheers

Ok. try this.
If you were in overcome ROM, if you are on the SAMSUNG bootloop and get into download, you should get into recovery by flashing the overcome kernel.
if not we'll try something else.

Funny that you asked. I just bookmarked Priyana's ICS install instruction.
There is no official ICS for our tab and will never be. There is a value-pack update coming, a gingerbread with some ICS taste.
However, there are several unofficial ICS roms around. CM9 and AOKP-SGT7 being the most stable ones (although many people still have small problems with some stabilities and inconcistancies). am on AOKP myself - for the past 3 months - and happy with it.
For AOKP install instruction, refer to this

you are halfway done through installing AOKP, btw.

Woo hoo, brilliant, I might try to install later on when I'm familiar with overcome.
Having said that, overcome was working brilliantly for me, but this morning, my device rebooted 3 time! After that I got random force closes, and now the apps won't load.
Is this due to the kernel being undervolted? Which app can I use to overvolt? SetCPU only seems to let me undervolt, not overvolt... Any suggestions mate?

Probably more like factory reset wipe needed.. if not worse, the problem priyana told you about earlier. On how restoring from an overcome back up may give you force closes on apps.

It was funny that not many people mentioned it in Overcome.
I think it is the CWM in Overcome Kernel that is the problem.
You can try RedPill 2.0.1 kernel.
In my experience the battery drain was better than Overcome, it works with Overcome ROM.
But I think it could be the nandroid backup that is the issue, meaning Redpill recovery likely won't help with backup that was taken using Overcome recovery.

Hi guys,
Just posting to say that yesterday I flashed the ICS from the USA on my P7310XWKJ5 (Europe).
All I needed to do was follow this great instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582943
The file to flash, by Odin, is this one:
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/169458139/5cca4ab/P7310UELPB_P7310XARLPB_XAR.zip.html
Guys... there is no need to worry. This is an official update from Sammy so if you have the Honeycomb stock there will be no problem at all.
I believe that Europe didn't receive the update only to avoid everyone in the world updating at the same time.
ICS with Touchwiz is simply great. The tablet is now much smoother and faster. ICS is much better then HC.
The only thing that you will lose in the update is the config of your 5 homes. Besides that, all your apps will be ok and your saved data.
Don't wait anymore... flashing Odin style and enjoy the best Samsung as to offer.
At least I did...
Cheers! Coragem com isso!
P.S: make sure you have the samsung drivers on your pc... to test it just install Kies and connect your tablet. If Kies recognizes your tablet then you are good to go.
BTW: no need to thank... I didn't do anything... I just pressed my balls against one another (crossed my fingers) and did the update. Thanks for your help almaalma74.

LOL, just gave you a free "thanks" - clicked wrong button.
Anyway, lots of people have done that - well, at least the update using the USA ICS, of course they were coming from a variety of ROM (not only that xwkj5)
Anyway, there's no reason it shouldn't work. A few people (strangely, mostly from Switzerland) had an issue, that the ICS failed to work properly (garbled screen) and found they had to Odin-flash a specific HC 3.2 version, and only then it worked. But that's a minority, and the solution is simple.
future OTA - if you load this ROM, you will get future OTA distributed to the "USA" market. (until you flash another region's ROM)
What to install... if you want to make sure to have the original ICS experience from Samsung (with nothing removed or added), I would recommend to use the stock file for Odin. If you want, you can follow that up with an Odin-flashable recovery & a root.zip flashed from recovery.
see e.g.
for download Odin-flashable recovery (I still prefer the slightly older 5.1.2.6 - for a more complete and logical menu than 5.5.0.4; and more reliable than 6.x)

Thanks guys for the help. With the fingers crossed today I flashed the usa version via Odin. Simple procedure and very happy with the update. It preserved everything just like a normal update. So long any bugs, huge improvement of perfomance, certainly a new experience. I will try to root it in the nexts days when I have time. Thanks to everyone except Sammy

I updated my UK GT-P3710 with US Stock ICS via ODIN. Initially smooth and good update. I have had 3 freezes while updating Titanium Backup Pro around 100+ apps. I ended up restoring apps individually with no freezes. I also noticed some brief pauses while playing Airline Control which I have noticed in the past with ICS Custom roms.
I flashed CMW5.5.04 and then used original root from recovery to gain root. No problems. Camera is working great.
I am now trying to flash A1 kernel ver 1.7 wifi to see if I can overclock. FAIL so I restored original boot.img. Overclock might have to wait.
I am liking ICS so much I might get a Galaxy S3 now with rumours of JB update coming.

I'm still on the original kernel as part of the Slimbean ROM, since I had some odd troubles with the SpeedyGonzales ones (the 1.5 version never gets past the boot animation, and the other one does boot but WIFI is dead).
Is it possible?

I just tried the SpeedyGonzalez_OC.zip kernel again (I think this is 1.4?) that I downloaded from Blownco. It boots and I get all the OC options, but it still kills my wifi. I never loaded the OTA update to go to the UVLG3 update (I'm still on the original). Could that be why my wifi dies with the OC kernel?

Its good to see people still flashing custom ROMs on their bionics. I still have my bionic and its going as strong as ever. My son uses it and he loves it.
I installed Slimkat and I can't get past the loading screen. It just keeps flashing the Slimkat logo over and over indefinitely.
Alright, I fixed the problem. I made the mistake of using the old bootstrap to install Slimkat, so I wound up with a bricked device. Even the recovery was wiped out so I thought I was screwed. I did some digging and figured it out over the course of a few hours...
I downloaded the latest firmware for the Bionic and tried installing them in the command line while the phone was in fastboot. The img files supposedly loaded successfully, but I still couldn't get into recovery to finalize the system installation. Luckily I discovered RSD 5.6. It worked except there were a few problems in the xml file within the firmware, so I had to take out both lines that had "oem" in them to get it to finish.
After that my Bionic was brought back to factory stock condition. I rooted using the Safe Root command line tool, installed Safestrap 3.73, and flashed Slimkat. It worked great!
If you're having similar issues and I didn't give enough info just let me know and I'll try to help.
