SM-T510 BOOT LOOP issue - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus

Hey guys,
So I'm having issues trying to fix my Samsung Tab A 10.1 ( SM-T510 ).
At first I was trying to install a custom TWRP recovery image, and I had a boot loop where it kept getting stuck at the SAMSUNG splash screen(not the initial samsung boot screen that shows TAB A 10.1). I however overcame that issue by factory reseting and through some additional tinkering.
Now the part I'm starting to regret.
I tried once again to flash the custom TWRP to the tablet, but this time I forgot to tick the "autoreboot" setting off.
So ODIN shows a PASS for the flash, but now when the tablet boots its stuck in the following boot sequence:
START:
Initial Samsung boot screen asking to press power button to continue due to unknown boot image source etc
PRESS POWER
SAME INITIAL SAMSUNG BOOT SCREEN minus the power button prompt, lasts for about 3-5 seconds
REBOOT
Now I have managed to get into download mode with the tablet connected to a computer.
I CANNOT get into recovery mode to factory reset the tablet, which was the solution the last go around.
I am starting to think that the only way I am going to get the tablet back in original working order, or any working order for that matter is to:
A: LOCATE original firmware for my device, I believe it is GTAXLWIFI firmware for my device. However the files I have found don't seem to be accepted in ODIN...
B: Try to continue on with the TWRP process, which I have tried to reflash the TWRP recovery that I have, and it shows pass. But, the issue persists.
Any suggestions or help would be amazing!
Thanks!

Timing is the key
Set your finger on position where you gonna restart the device.
Hold power + vol down
After the screen restart switch soon as possible you finger to set to recovery by
Hold vol up + down + insert the USB C cable
Remember timing is the key. I have done this for several tabs that screw on my home so you are welcome bro

I think "restarts" may be confusing. Switch from down to up as soon as the screen turns off.

You can use frija.exe to get the latest stock firmware. To get TWRP you MUST boot to recovery before system. If you allow the tablet to boot to system first, it will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery. Do this by pressing vol down and power till the screen turns off. As soon as it does, switch from vol down to up while still pressing power and keep holding both till the red warning message appears. You also need to leave the cable attached to the PC while doing this.

[Q] stuck in boot loop P1000

Good day everyone...
I have one Galaxy Tab P1000 here stuck in boot loop... I really don't know what happened before it got stuck into this loop but it was working fine, it got battery empty and when done charging, it got stuck in a boot loop already...
I have tried to go into stock recovery but the sad thing is that I can navigate through the menu but I can't press the OK button (the power button) to select anything to do. So I searched through the forum and tried a few things, the most notable would be trying to go back to safe stock in the Overcome thread, still it is in boot loop. I tried to go further by installing the overcome kernel... skipping the part where I'm supposed to go to the settings (because basically I cant go to the settings menu).... still I was able to install the kernel and even the Overcome ROM, sadly even with the MOD ROM its still in the boot loop , one thing to note though, when I go into the recovery mode in Overcome ROM I can press the OK button (power button), I mean it responds now and I can basically navigate through the recovery menu and select things from there... but It is still stuck in a boot loop
need some advice
Stock 3e OK button is actually the capacitive HOME button.
Your tab was responding the same in stock as in overcome.
Can't help you about the looping though.
Have you tired restocking again with pit file?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda app-developers app
tried the home button too but still no avail it wasnt responsive... i have made all the reflashing with the specific pit file needed it wont get out of the loop

Try: - (good luck)
choice_A
steps
in CWM, wipe factory reset, cache, dalvik, everything that you can find.
flash kernel CWM6.0.4.5 (from download mode)
install a new rom.
choice_B
flash kernel TWRP2.3.5 (I think or some version similar) (from download mode)
it has some extra WIPE to delete BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, etc. WIPE them all. If you can manage this, it doesn't even LOOP.
install a new rom.
problem.
There is a TWRP that can't boot into recovery by VOL+_Power. Only can get in from home screen advanced reboot.
may be some other older TWRP can enter recovery, try to find one. I'm not so sure my self.
choice_C
if somehow you managed to boot into home screen, install apk (bootloader check) by chainfire (I think), I had previously experience some dev uses locked bootloader, which doesn't allow you to flash new rom properly.
btw do you know the 8 seconds power button to get a real shutdown?
thanks cx5 im gonna do try all the choices... real reset meaning a powercycle (8 sec hold of power button)
Good luck,
New advances, TWRP solved, now able to boot from VOL_UP+power. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48418252&postcount=365
Suggest to use @terenceng 's rom too, it has one of the highest free ram 487MB.
Another tip, if you hold power button forever it will boot loop forever.
i.e.
from shutdown
4 seconds will boot up (may be it's 3, anyway)
another 8 seconds will shutdown. (may be it's 7, anyway)
total is 12 seconds.
When I didn't have enough experience in counting the time accurately, I overshoot the 8 seconds shutdown to around 12 seconds and it boots up, and I think it is looping. But in fact it is not. I accidentally made it boot up. Hope you don't fall into this condition.
GT-P1000 are fantastic that it can surely shutdown, as long as the 8 sec rule is properly implemented. no more no less.
Then you can always go to download mode. overcome restock has always save my day. Good luck.

I forgot to say, locked bootloaders will STOP overcome restock. It will not allow it. Must use bootloader UNLOCK apk. Happened to me so many times in the past.

thank you for the help guys but the problem was actually the motherboard

phone is bricked help please

i was planning on flashing a custom rom on my galaxy s6 today but at work i watched a video on how to get twrp recovery, so i downloaded it on to my phone, followed every direction and step using flashify then when i installed twrp and rebooted my phone it got stuck at the boot load screen, i cant even go to recovery mode nor download mode, everytime i hold the power button and volume rockers it just cuts off and boots back to boot loop cuts off boot loop and so on, idk what to do can someone please help
Slow down, take your time. This is not a permi-brick. Just go back, start at step 1, and try again. There is hope. There must be a way to get into recovery.
I'm having the same exact issue, I'm able to get into download mode by holding volume up, home and power buttons. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and I'm going to try to flash it with odin to see if it works.

If you two can't get into download mode for whatever reason get odin to the point it says waiting for phone or connection or whatever it says then let it boot loop a couple times with the phone plugged in (preferably start from a powered off state). This might just have been lg but for some reason I remember odin rebooting my phone into download mode if the program was at that point.
*edit*
I feel like I wasn't clear enough. You want the tar ball loaded and hit start before you plug the phone in. I could be way off but it's worth a try.

S2 810, unusual boot issue (official firmware)

Hello and greetings,
I am looking for some help from the gurus here.
I bought this S2 off of ebay, as broken, no power.
plugged in with adequate power supply, the power button was not responding.
I then tried launch recovery mode, and nothing.
Then I found that this tablet would start with download mode enabled.
naturally the battery was flat, but by cancelling download moded, the tablet booted into the system.
the tablet had 5.1.1 and after allowing the tablet battery to charge up to 100%, I then performed a factory reset from within the tablet, and then restarted the tablet to check for issues.
on reboot, the tablet just went black, and again the power button, nor recovery mode would start the tablet, but here i was again able to start the tablet with download mode (cancelling dl mode when initialized).
(i did manage to enter recovery mode, im not sure, i think i was repeatedly trying the button combos and it worked. the recovery menu is untouched vanilla no twrp was installed. i delete the cache, and again performed a factory reset from the recovery console. still, no change in the power button responsiveness from power off)
the next thing I tried was to update the firmware, by grabbing official firmware from updato, and secondarily from samsung-firmware org as a backup source.
both firmwares are official release, 7.0 nougat.
ran odin, and successfully updated the firmware using the file from updato, and the tablet is now running nougat.
everything works great, except when the unit is shut down the power button alone still will not turn the tablet on. (this was the same issue as before i updated the rom to 7.0)
so the next rabbit hole i dug into was creating a bootloader file to see if that would help this issue (extracted the files and compiled into md5 bootloader using Cygwin), the bootloader flashed fine, but still no change to the power button issue. (the Cygwin method can be used to create samsung 4 files repair, but really doesn't do much if you already have the single fat file (firmware))
a couple other oddities:
occasionally the android system installer will go into erase mode, after performing a firmware install from odin, and not complete or reboot.
the system also for the first few seconds after leaving the download mode has graphical artifacts on the screen, just before the samsung logo appears. usually in the bottom half of the screen which are just random blocky colors.
i am pressed for time, and cannot add any more details at the moment, I'll get back later.
any wisdom or insight would be fantastic,
thank you.

SM-T810 stuck in boot loop, unable to enter in recovery or fast boot

After I tried to backup the device with TWRM, I am now stuck on the boot screen with "samsung galaxy tab s2, powered by android" screen.
I am unable to do anything: turn it off, power + volume up + home or power + volume down + home" nothing actually do anything.
The only think that change something is it to wait battery run out of energy, then the screen turn black but as soon as I plug the charger the same screen "samsung galaxy tab s2, powered by android" come again, I didn't even pushed the power button.
The device was rooted long time ago and was still with the original rom (5.0.1 or 5.1.1 I believe, i am unable to verify).
Any help is welcome!
bump,
I tried removing the back cover, now I can reboot the device more easily just removing the battery connector, before I had to wait the battery run out of power.
I trying the boot the device with the "volume up + home + power botton" pressed.
But still no luck.
Is there a way to boot an alternate rom on the device ?
it turn out that removing the back panel actually disable power or volumes buttons, so putting back the backpanel let the "power + volume down" reboot works, then shortly after doing "volume up + power + home" button let me enter odin mode, now I need a stock rom...
i recovered the device, i just had to install old version of twrp new version did brick the device

I need help lol after flashing in odin

Hi all, this is sadly my first thread in xda, sadly because two things: for being a help-ask thread and because the reason im posting it:
So i decided to flash the new ASIG firmware to my S10, and I don't know what went wrong because odin flashed all right. when i rebooted my device did the key combo to get into recovery mode but it didn't work. Can't pass from the first boot screen because it keeps rebooting
some info to feed your sugestions:
-i was rooted and running a custom rom (August securitypatch on BeyondRom)
-patched AP file in magisk
-ianmacd TWRP
I have tried to get it into download mode, recovery mode, normal OS, magisk boot.... nothing works it keeps rebooting. I remember the battery was like 60~70 % and have been like 7 hours and keeps rebooting.
Also i have tried to get it to boot in download mode waiting till screen goes black pressing voldown and bixby and catching the right moment to plug the cable in it and stops rebooting but doesn't boot either. If i press power button starts again rebooting and the same happen if i disconnect-reconnect or free-press any of the button combo even for one second...
so i have been tweaking my devices like 3 years and this is the first time i think i screwed up one, i always tought it was not possible (hope don't) but this time i think i made it
Do I? there is no fix?
i'm waiting to the phone gets fully discharged to see if powered off can i get it to boot into download mode and fla**** again
is there another way to get it to go into download mode? like old phones with the usb jig
it is a way to turn it off??
do you know what could be the reason to get in this state?
sorry for too much questions but i had a s7 edge before and i messed with it a lot, one day deactivated oem unlock, flashed wrong custom roms and broke it (software way) a lot of times and i always was able to get into download mode and fix it but this time i can't get it to work
so please help me and thanks for read and try to help (if anybody) lol r.r :crying::crying::crying:
FIXED
i'm happy to have been right, its hard to hard brick a device hehehe just after some minutes after (panic atack) post battery went out of energy pressed key combo comected cable to pc and booted un DM im sorprised because did not lost a byte of data
When the S9-S10 Starts bootlooping and won't go to DWNLD mode or Recovery, Just hold Power + Vol DWN + BIX for 5 seconds, release, repeat for ten seconds, release, Repeat,
After that the "upload mode" should appear. and you can just hold Power+Volume Down until the phone reboots. This time the keys will finally boot you into the desired mode...
