Tab only boots to recovery and wont flash after dalvik cache clear

---

I was running galaxian soup ROM 1.4 and wanted to flash to 1.5.1. Unfortuantely I was not paying as much attention as I should have been and cleared the cache before doing a wipe cache worked ok, dalvik cache got part way through and tehn rebooted.

Now the device wont boot into the OS and instead reboots into recovery. When in recovery, attempting to do a wipe or a flash or a dalvik cache clear all start and then reboot.

Anyone have an idea on next troubleshooting steps? ANy help is greatly appreciated.

Odin to stock & try again.
I assume you can get into download mode..

Thanks for the reply.
I used odin to get to stock based on the instructions and files in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1406137

The process seemed to work, the odin screen gave me a green pass

and the device reboot but when it did it just reboot to this screen.


Any help is appreciated.

That's a bad flash..
Redownload the ROM and flash again.
Gotta love when Odin brain farts.
;)

Edit; failing that follow the overcome restock instructions and all should be well.
Goodluck!

In my case, usually when coming back from the ICS Betas, some weird stuff happened with my tablet in more than one occasion. Errors with partitions to sum it up. The only way to make the tablet boot once more into Honeycomb was...selecting the nuke (wipe/factory reset in the Stock Recovery) making me lose all SDcard contents. I don't know whether this also applies to you or not, but keep it in mind.
