Chosen Solution
Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 (GT-N8013) Device hangs at Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 logo. Apparently stuck in a bootloop - will automatically turn on and hang at logo following power off via power button. Able to access download mode, but no recovery mode. Flash with factory firmware (.pit and .md5) files via ODIN with “Pass!”, but bootloop remains. Kies (pre- Note III) fails to connect with device. Program instructs to restart device.
This is an old tablet. ODIN 3.12 likely won’t work. Find an older ODIN like 3.08 or 3.09. Find the OEM firmware from here. Remember before this, you need the latest ADB drivers from here.
Sadly after reading 14 pages on Samsung’s web site of this same or similar issues on the entire 8000 series tablets. it appears Samsung purposely sabotaged these tablets to brick themselves at or about the 4 year life span. Shame on you Samsung.
