It was factory reset before it went to this stage. I downloaded the ROM from sammobile but I keep getting an error in odin. It wasn't rooted annoyingly.

When trying to fix a serious problem with my galaxy tab 3, a problem that a hard reset wouldn't fit, I seem to have made it much much worse. I'm obviously far out of my depth and I have read so much online I'm now very confused. I can't boot into download mode - all it displays is this error...

I seem to have made it worse and now get the error: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" After a lot of internet research is seems the only solution is to get my hands on a USB jig and get it into download mode again.

Sadly it wouldn't connect to my macbook or windows laptop. Hopefully I can get a genuine samsung cable and try again. Thanks both for your help.

Do I really need the original USB? It broke a while ago and I'm not sure where I'd get a replacement.

It keeps crashing though and I can't seem to fix it

I've tried that but it hasn't had an effect. Do you think it is just broken beyond repair?

Yes it will do that but I'm stuck as to what to do next.

No and now it crashes before I get through the 'set-up' screens!

It's not rooted because I didn't get round to it. It is a wifi model.

I'm having problems with my tablet. I keep getting the messages 'contextprovider had stopped suddenly' and 'unfortunately, phone has stopped' so it is unuseable. It just crashes over and over again. I was finally able to do a factory reset but it has made no difference. Is there anything else...

I'm having the same problem with my tab 3 and was wondering if anyone found a solution?

Annoyingly that doesn't seem to have had an effect...
