Here's what you do.

Download the file linked below
Download ODIN attached below
Once both are downloaded, extract PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar
Boot your tablet into ODIN and plug it into your PC
Open the ODIN program on your PC and check the box next to PDA
Click the PDA button and navigate to the file you downloaded earlier
Press Start and let it flash

Once it is done, it will still boot loop.
You need to go into recovery (It will now be the default recovery) and wipe data/factory reset only.
Reboot and it should load up, however you will be on 3.0.1.
You can get back to 3.1 by rooting and installing recovery again or by using the update feature in the tablet's settings.

Good luck!

You are the man! My IO Galaxy Tab 10.1 is alive again!

Thanks!

Hi All,
I am done the ODIN step, but it still in bootloop mode. I dont know how to do with the Fastboot recover mode. I tried with my Windows 7 and it can't recognized my fastboot driver and stay in the <waiting for device>. Is there any solution for me. Thank you so much.

Hello, I have also followed these directions however I am having issues rebooting into recovery using adb.

When I execute adb devices no devices are found.

Any additional help would be appreciated. Thanks

UPDATE:

Success!! I was able to correct the boot loop problem by installing fastboot on a linux machine and running sudo fastboot -w. Also my tablet was in fastboot mode (Power + Volume down, then Select the usb symbol).

Instructions for installing fastboot were found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...22&postcount=2

boot looping SOLVED! Honeycomb 3.1 google i/o galaxy tab 10.1

[IO TAB] Boot looping? Try this to get your tab back...

I had an issue with my IO 10.1 Tab boot looping. I imagine that this would work for retail as well but have not tried it.

This process will factory reset your device.

You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.

Fastboot & Stock IO recovery comes from this post as an attachment at the bottom.

You need adb to continue (windows).

1. Extract files to where adb resides (platform-tools folder in android SDk main folder) e.g
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools .

2. Plug your tab in to a power source and then hold down the power button until it shuts down. Wait until the tab displays the charging battery.

3. Press and hold the volume down (left button in landscape) and power buttons until the usb and odin icons show up. Volume down to move left and volume up to select the usb logo. Now you should be in fastboot. Plug the usb into your computer.

4. Time to fire up adb!
Start / run / cmd , cd\,
Than, cd to your platform-tools folder or wherever your adb is at. (should be in platform-tools inside of android-sdk-windows)

5. In cmd type "adb start-server" without quotes to start adb. All comands should exclude quotes.

6. Type "fastboot devices" your device serial should appear!If not:
Edit the “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf” file and copy/paste the following lines and add them to the [Google.NTx86] section (for 32bit Windows) and/or [Google.NTamd64] (for 64bit Windows).
NO Empty line above this set, though galaxy tab 10.1v but works for all variants!(tab detected as adb xxx device)

;Galaxy Tab 10.1v
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&REV_9999&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
;
Download the fastboot zip attached to this post (includes both Win and Linux version) and extract the files to your “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\platform-tools” folder

7. Now, type "fastboot boot recovery.img"

8. Now you should boot into recovery. For "adb command lines" to work boot with clockworkmod recovery img (Command and files here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2032)

If you want to try other stuff like push a system restore, kernel or whatever, now you can. If you fail at it, you can always repeat the steps leading up to this point to get back to recovery.

9. Time to just get the tab back! Select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm, clear cache.

10. After that is done select "reboot device".

for rooting the tab install the zip file from this post in recovery mode (loading recovery.img from fastboot):
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2054

P.S don't reboot into recovery with adb command "adb reboot recovery" as it doesn't work, correct way is with fastboot command as mentioned in step 7!

'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
