GT-P1000 Reboot Loop

Hi,
My dad brought me his non rooted, non modified Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 that is stuck in the famous reboot loop. That is, it reaches the samsung logo and just stays on that animation of the logo glowing and fading.
I've tried various combinations of ROMS, as well as different versions of ODIN and Heimdall. I've successfully reflashed different firmwares but the furthest i get is the samsung logo.
The device was bought out of carphone warehouse UK, for which i found the latest firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se
I can flash this with heimdall 1.1 (1.3 always asks about firmware.xml which i figure is just a way of explaining what's in the tar to save selecting the files seperately). That said, i have tried 1.3 in command line mode on linux.
I get varying results with the flashing process too.
For example, this carphone warehouse firmware flashes fine with Heimdall 1.1 but fails in Odin.
I'm really running out of ideas. I thought it was just that something had got currupt somewhere and a reflash would sort it but no such luck.
Can anyone offer any tips? I've looked around the message board but it's like playing pass the parcel with the links. It seems a lot of people fix their tabs without actually realising what it is that fixed it because they've also gone through a whole load of combinations.
I've tried ROMS from samsung firmware website. Tried JHA from early on. Tried latest 2.2 that isn't tied to a network. Tried ones in the middle. Tried flashing only dbdata. Tried re-partition.
EDIT: I've avoiding looking into rooting it as a solution because my dad is trying to fish out the receipt in case it's under warranty. If it's not i'm prepared to root it. I used to be in the android scene back in the day when the G1 came out. I've programmed applications for Android and written a uni project on it so i am quite familiar with it, just maybe a little out of date with the processes.
EDIT2: Sorry guys just realised there is a galaxy 10.1 section too...
EDIT3: And that i don't have a galaxy 10.1 anyway...i may have flashed my brain with the wrong ROM. Anyone have a "sensible brain" ROM?

Hmmm... you might get helped at the Overcome-site, look for the restock GB v5 in the tutorials...

My gnote issue

hey all,
i'm new to the forums here at xda-developers but i'm in ire need of some advice/help if you would not mind sharing your experience.
Okay the issue.
I have a galaxy note gt-n7000, it will not update via kies or via the phone itself at all for months. I'm from England and i purchased it on contract from carphone warehouse; some vital information about the phone are as follows:
Android version - 2.3.6
Baseband version - N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version - 2.6.35.7-N7000LA6-CL907341 [email protected] #2
Build bumber - GINGERBREAD.XXLA6
CSC - XEU
I have tried several things to fix this such as:
Factory restting everything - the sd card, the phone... No eval.
Attempting to change the CSC to a different one from XEU
Waiting to see if any more updates are as followed
reconnecting/rebotting my phone to ensure the connection is okay to Kies
Another issue of this phone is that it will not download anything from the website such as bus timetable PPFs in which it used to be beforehand, i am completely stumped by it
thanks for your time to read this and hopefully help,
Nozz.
P.S I don't really want to root my phone cause my warranty will void otherwise.

have you updated the kies? use latest version of kies to update it should work.

Since youre factory resetting, i presume you dont care for any data loss... You can go to recovery (turn off phone then press and hold volume up+power+home until the phone turns on) then do the factory reset there... (this is not touch interface.. You have to use volume buttons and the power button to select your option):highfive:
I entrust you to do this since you said youre running 2.3.6 but DONT DO THIS if you manage to get to Ice cream sandwich!!! We can never stop reminding people of this... DONT EVEN DARE to factory reset under settings on a stock Ice cream sandwich n7000..

This method should work if your phone is still a "virgin"

Yeah, according to Kies it is the updated version, and i also updated a galaxy s2 with it to ICS the other day...
Will going into recovery mode then factory resetting it work ?
thanks for your help,
Nozz.

Just factory resetted it, and once again it is coming up with it saying it is not possible tp update Via Kies :/
And Kies is fully updated

Also another thing i forgot to mention, the phone wants an update has it says new firmware is available through downloading from the phone then installing that way, however when i try this, it all goes okay, reboots, comes up with the little andriod symbol then it stops at roughly 20%, reboots and says it was unsuccessful, try updating via samsung kies.
thinking of just getting rid of it, but it's a contract.... Sigh.
nozz.

somebody made a program that you can use instead of KIES, it is called Checkfus.
google for it, or search the forum, i am sure you will find it.

Hi there,
I would suggest not to update more on Kies as Kies sometimes KIES(OTA OR the PC one) is quite not more reliable sometimes, sometimes you can upgrade sometimes you can't.(Just like a woman on her monthly periods )
Anyway, I would you recommend by just flashing it thru PC ODIN. Download your stock ICS software from this page -> www.samfirmware.com and look for the firmware on your region. Flash it and you should be good to go.
:good:

i'm quite new to flashing phones, i've flashed computer motherboard bios, but i can get inside them and change the mobo if it goes wrong however i cannot do that with a phone :/
Which one is safe for my phone, considering it's current build etc?
Advice would be appreciated.
I can't seem to find firmware that is suited for my PDA, CSC and Phone codes... Or will any UK firmware work?
Nozz.

Here you go bud ->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan, of course)
If you narrow down a bit, there's a firmware for UK there(Carphone Warehouse to be exact)

According to CheckFus there is no such ICS update for my specific phone, aka pda/phone/csc.... hmm... and also i can't seem to find any roms for my specific phone either...
I really don't know what to do now
Could someone take alook at my numbers in my first post and help me, as i'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this phone
i'll relist my phones information:
PDA: N7000XXLA6
PHONE: N7000XXLPT
CSC: N7000XEULP4
Build Info: Friday, January 20 05:38:08 KST 2012
That build info looks slightly dodgy considering this is supposed to uk phone, and i'm pretty sure UK gingerbread didn't come out at that point... hmmm.. got me thinking.
anyhow
Thanks,
Nozz

Soft brick update custom rom to stock 6.0.1

I have a SM-G900V that was on a custom 4.4.4 ROM. I'm selling the phone and wanted to give a stock but updated phone to the guy.
I downloaded the latest for 6.0.1 for the Verzion G900V and flashed it in Odin. It got a write fail. I tried again and it went further but then got another write fail.
Now when I try to boot the phone it goes to Software update failed error. I can boot again by long holding the power button. The phone is still recognized in Odin.
The bootloader was unlocked
The emmc was 15.
The build number of the custom ROM was: Build: KTU84P- G900VRU1ANI2
I'll keep searching for a solution but the guy I'm selling the phone to is freaking out so any and all help would be much appreciated.

update
I tried flashing the same build as what was on the phone AN12 and it failed with an Auth fail error in Odin. I did some research and saw that could be a CSC problem. I tried using Kies because I read you can find the CSC code that way. I couldn't get Kies to 'talk' to the phone. It saw that a phone was connected but it wouldn't created the connection. I tried firmware recovery but I need the serial number and Samsung in its infinite wisdom doesn't put the serial number on the sticker inside the phone (at least it doesn't on US Verizon).
It's a phone from Verizon (originally bought on contract) in the US and I have been using US Verizon downloads from either updato or sammobile (for the 4.4.4)
I could realy use some help. I'd like not to bork the phone by just trying hail mary solutions.

Really desperate for some help guys flashing note 8 stuck in boot mode:

MY skill with Android flashing: 3/10
Phone Problem: Boots to the very first screen with the phone model and then turns off itself, vibrates, and relaunches..... (repeat repeat). It did use to reach the Samsung screen before my (what I thought was) successful FW flash!
Hey, so im having a mare trying to flash some firmware on my friends Note 8 using Odin3 and pretty much guessing at firmware to fix this phone. I downloaded the latest version that seems to be available.
The phone Model number is not known exactly but its a single sim, UK spec (Carrier: 02) so am assuming it is the SM-N950F
Im slowly downloading fw files to try and get this phone to reboot - but no such luck! is there anyone with enough patience to try and help me install the "correct" firmwares?
I tried with my first attempt and it fails in odin with a message: SW Check boot loader 14 binary 13 (or something along those lines - which I tried a search for here in the forums and was something to do with the compatibility of the bl and fw not being correct)
My second attempt was a success through Odin (Cleared and Pass!) but now it only gets to the very first screen and reboot loops straight away without getting to the Samsung screen.... so not really a success my end!
Can anyone help a Android noob?
Not looking to keep any data what so ever Just want a full factory reset.
Phone last worked properly on 23/24th December last year and my friend hasn't bothered with it since when it bricked.

Hey bro I am not a pro either at this but doing this since quite a time now,
Your first attempt failed because you tried to install an older version of android whereas your device had a newer version installed previously....SAMSUCK does not allows you to downgrade your android model...
Your second attempt resulted in a bootloop , I will suggest you to reboot the phone into recovery and format it once, it might work.....

Wipe cache partition
Wipe data/factory reset
reboot system now
still stuck in boot loop (1st power on screen)

Like all four options it gives you in Odin. The bl, ap, cp, csc....... using the latest one I could find on SamMobile for 02 carrier U.K. -

It should boot after flashing that, it could be a hardware problem preventing a successful boot :-( Probably worth trying different filmware though, you could try BTU (UK) or XEU (UK & Ireland)

Bro i will advice you to just get over this stock rom and install some custom rom.
You can install a custom recovery like twrp through odin and then using that recovery install some custom rom made for your device.
All these you might find in your device's xda forum.

Brp i just checked and found that galaxy note 8 has plethora of custom roms available just install the one which you like.
You can see the installation process on youtube.

Samsung Note 9 SM-N960U1 Bootloop. Flashed with Odin and still no joy. Please help!!!

So I installed an app called CSWE App Manager and disabled some apps/services. Well, I must have disabled something I shouldn't have and my phone is boot looping. It shows the Samsung splash logo and then after a few minutes reboots and repeats.
Here is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
I have taken out the sim/SD card.
I have booted into recover and wiped cache and factory data reset, but still no joy.
I downloaded new firmware and flashed via Odin. Got a successful flash, but still boot loops even after that. I downloaded this firmware from SamMobile:

I am at a loss for what to do now. Can anybody please help me? I am about to pull my hair out.
Thank you!
I took these screenshots of my wife's phone software info. She has the exact same phone as I do.

Unfortunately you may have to factory reset. Without knowing what the culprit is. If I were you, I would use ADB App Control next time. You can disable and enable with one click. And I would never remove anything unless you are sure, just disable

I tried to factory reset, but no luck. Still boot loops. I didn't uninstall anything, I just disabled. ADB App Control... is that an app?
I'm so frustrated, it successfully flashes in Odin, but still boot loops.

You load it on computer and connect device. It shows every app with the option to ddisable. If factory reset didn't work probably have to flash firmware with odin.

Thank you for the link. I downloaded that firmware and got a pass on Odin v3.14. Still boot looping. What am I missing?

Did you flash BL..AP..CP..CSC

So I flashed via Odin again and this time I didn't select for auto reboot. I powered down after the flash and immediately went into Recovery Mode. As I attempted to do this a blue android logo and status bar came up briefly and then went away, which was weird. Then it let me into Recovery Mode and I cleared cache and factory reset. Still no luck, boot looping.
Yes, I flashed all four of those as the same time.

Since you factory reset, try flashing again with those 4 files. Keep auto reboot selected. Use parched Odin I think 3.13b or patched 3.14
And if you can, show me your download screen

Ok, I did and still boot loop.

No I mean download screen of your device

Mint Mobile

Try to find latest version of odin. Mint Mobile is basically Tmobile. Take sim out and flash the firmware.

I've got Odin 3.13.1 and have the sim/SD card out. Still boot looping even after successful flashes.
Here is the device info that I get when connecting to SamFirm to confirm what my device is currently showing.
Company : TOSHIBA
Model Number : SM-N960U1
Sales Model : XAA
SW Version : N960U1UEU9FVG2
FW Version : 000B
Product : THGAF8T0T43BAIRA
CAPA : 128
DID : 20208BB5CA97FF11
UN : 988F8B48425148474434
I also tried to Boot into Safe Mode. I am not able to shut the phone down while in boot loop, but when booting into Recovery Mode there is a power off selection. When I select it, it just reboots back into Recovery Mode.
When going to SamMobile to download the firmware package, how do I know what country to pick? I see XAA (unknown), AIO (unknown), etc...
My phone is the unlocked US version.
My wife has the same exact phone and it shows this as her software version.
It appears something in my phone is preventing it from booting even though I have successfully flashed stock firmware via Odin. Is there a way to completely wipe my phone via my pc using adb or something and reflash using odin?

I'm not sure what happened. You have done everything that should work. Try different cord, different USB port
A factory wipe should do the trick. Try flashing Tmobile U1 it's unlocked firmware..
Do you remember what you disable? Have you tried your wife's sim? You should be able to flash any unlocked firmware not just XAA they are the same since it provisions to your Sim my play phone is a Note 10+ with mint mobile Sim and it works just fine. Before I unlocked it I used At&t
This is my about phone on my Note 10 + with mint mobile sim
Did you ever use Odin to flash firmware before all this happened?

I have an have always been successful. Its been a long time however, but I used to flash custom roms all the time on my earlier Samsung Notes.
I was told by somebody more experience than I am after trying to flash for me that its an emmc error.
Is this fixable by a repair shop? Worth doing or would it be expensive?
I don't get it. I get a successful flash with Odin.
Is there anyway to fix this? Can the storage on the phone be repartitioned and the stock software reinstalled? I don't see how the emmc could just fail like that. Especially after I was using CCSWE App Manger and disabled apps. Seems very coincidental that the emmc would fail right after doing that. I think I messed up the software with that app. I just don't know how to get it fixed.
