I'm trying to get you that file and I'll post a link if I get it.
Isn't the pit already set for stock roms? Of the four you say you used, were they official like from Samfirmware?
Also did odin say they were successful?

I'm not positive of the reliability of the source so use at your own risk!
Unzip the file to get the .pit had to zip it to upload it here.
Hope this helps. Took forever to find this file without having to pay for it.

The gt-p5210 pit seems to be impossible to find unless you speak farsi and want to pay a site in Iran for it.
But dont give up hope. I have a couple feelers of there and maybe I'll get a bite for you.
In the mean time you just might want to give the 5200 pit a shot. Cant hurt too much being you're in a bootloop already.
But of course I must say do it at you own risk.

You have not mention why you need the pit. The pit mention before was grabed from P5210 using the following command in terminal or adb:

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176

once you execute, go to your Sdcard folder and look for out.pit.

This is a command many Samsung devices share. I am confidece that the output is correct. But no one has confirmed using it succefully.

In any case I sugest you use that command your self to get your own pit and compare with the one I posted in my original post.

4.4.2 Is a troubled game! You never can be sure what is going on if you change things in system!.
In a worst case a loop-boot can be as result of Lock boot failing dm-verify!

Google suggest Manufacturers to start enforcing on a limited population for testing!. Who knows maybe that is the root cause!
Just as some Galaxy S4, that got screw by Samsung!!!!. Bad weather is coming!

I been adding libraries.ko to mount my wireless hard drive. The libraries do not survive for long and they get purge of \system in short time. New Installed KO's never survive a reboot!

Even compiling the kernel act weird. I can not select all libraries. If I go and edit .config manually, when I execute make, a script revert back what I had change so that the lib.ko do not get build!!!

I have not double check but the wifi symbol at then top keep showing the something is downloading!

This make me think? Did you guys did not forgot to disable OTA updates?

Did you ever get this to work?

I have tried the pit file and different stock versions of the OS but I still keep getting a reset after the Galaxy Tab 3 screen and then it like acts like it's going into recovery and even if i have twrp it'll show it for a brief second and then reboot again.

I am about ready to throw this stupid thing in the recycling bin.

sf bay area, ca
sorry to bother... i just tried to upgrade my Tab 3, and now it is stuck in an endless boot loop.

i've tried flashing my tablet with Odin 3.07 with the factory image, a pre-rooted image and also cyanogenmod 12.1 - all have appeared to be successful, but the result is the same - boot loop.

i've also gone through loading the 3 images on the MicroSD card and installing them via recovery mode. i was careful to wipe the data and cache partitions prior.

still, endless boot loop. i'd really rather not recycle this device... if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!
