    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    Did it (by the way, the laptop said that the drivers were already installed), followed again the steps and again nothing..... The tablet still doesn't ''communicate'' with the laptop. So probably its a dead-end now... I know that I have become annoying but is there anything else to do to force...

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    An update about my current progress.1) I downloaded the file from the first link (thanks!) and it's alright and the right type. 2) Inserted it into Odin at AP box. 3) Read the directions in the link of a previous post and followed them one by one. And here the problems started again. I put my...

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    Thanks a lot! Ok, I will try both of them to see if the can be downloaded and if they work and write back the results. But I see that the second link is firmware for GT-P5100. Is it compatible with GT-P5110 divices?

    Yes, it says that you only need to register but even when you try to register for the free membership it asks for your billing and credit card information, so I don't think I'll risk it. Anyway, thanks for the link and response!

    Ok, no problem, take your time. I will wait for any results and in the meantime will also search again for some free firmware. And thanks again for the help!

    It is running 4.2.2 so I downloaded Kies version 2.6, beacause I thought that it was a subcategory of 4.2. Maybe I should try with Kies version 3?

    A quick correction. I found firmware for Greece but nowhere for free download. Even in SamMobile Firmwares it is under premium downloads like all other firmwares for GT-P5110 and in the other suggested site of the Odin link (XDA Forums) the download link is not working for any firmware. Sorry...

    And something more. I can't find the stock firmware for Greece if I am going to try with Odin. Can I download the stock firmware for another European country, or this could result to more faults?

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    There is a problem with Kies. My model type is GT-P5110 and according to the program ''GT-P5110 doesn't support initialisation''. Could I use another model type (maybe not but I am not expert) or another command (eg Emergency firmware recovery) or try instead with Odin? Or even this would be...

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    I tried to do this today and found out something really weird that I hadn't noticed before. The Playstore icon has vanished from the tablet and so the app itself, I even searched for it in Settings>Apps for it and found nothing! So now I think that maybe this disappearance has something to do...

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    I removed SD card and rebooted but again the same. I also tried a hard reset without SD and again it didn't work. Now, about Google Chrome, I can't clear cache/data, because the device reboots before it can calculate those parameters and of course can't delete it either because this forces it to...

    Hard reset doesn't work for samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1

    Thanks for the welcome and the answer! I downloaded it from ebook3000.com. I use to download quite often from this site (mostly via pc and less often immediately from my tablet). Yes, the tablet has an SD card inserted. I'll try to remove it and then reboot and see what will happen. Also, do you...
