Question Keeps Rebooting after update...why?

I tried to update my rooted note but it just keeps rebooting. It goes through the set-up with percentage at the bottom, gets to 100% and then reboots like it's going to start. However, instead of starting, it just instead tries to upgrade again. It keeps going through this cycle.

I started it and used Odin to flash initial .tar with root in it and it's doing the same thing.

Please help!!!

Well, my suggestion would be to load up Kies on your computer. Connect the tablet, and see if you can do a firmware repair seeing as how you seemingly already tried to ODIN in another rom. Maybe you can try to boot into CWM and wipe the cache, dalvik, and factory reset, but I'm not so sure that will do anything for you.

OK. Used the update/tar from this file. Got me up and running but then gave me a message that update failed to install. I did, however, lose root rights.

As risky as I am, I checked software update and found another update--this time smaller in size. Downloaded and installing...Wish me luck.

OK, That's appearing to work! Machine is rebooting and is again "optimizing applications."

Glad to hear you got it up and running!
