Error RP SWREV A3 - Constant rebooting - Unable to reinstall rom

[malim20]

Hi there, yesterday I updated some play store apps and a while later the tablet rebooted, it does it constantly. That is all I did in the past few months, I haven't installed a newer rom for a few months.

In Download mode, I see an error I haven't seen before: RP SWREV A3. I was on Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (android 6). I tried re-flashing the rom from TWRP but I think it reboots before it completes flashing. I tried flashing with ODIN Stock 4.4 and 5.1.1, it finishes installing but it keeps rebooting at the Samsung logo. I don't what to do since I didn't do anything except update my apps... Please help

Here is the recovery.log:http://pastebin.com/raw/Kt5SDECf

Hey mate

That isn't fun but when I have installed stock Rom's via Odin I too have been stuck in the logo. Usually if you then go into recovery and wipe cache and do a factory reset it usually solves the issue, I would assume you have done this, if not give it a go. Be patient sometimes it does stay on the logo for a few minutes whilst it provisions the ROM, best of luck.

I have no idea what else to do, this my last_kmesg and my dmesg and the recovery.log if any one knows please help, the tablet switches off during install in TWRP and `adb`. I get the Error `RP SWREV A3` in Download mode.

You haven't stated if you get the error flashing a stock ROM, irrespective I have found some info on other forums and Google, see below:

I think you should try a stock firmware and I think it a bootloader issue which you can get past with your original stock ROM. What was the last factory ROM you had 4.4.2 or 5.1.1? Download a stock ROM and flash with an Odin version above 3, good luck.

Thanks for your reply,
With a stock Rom, I am able to install completely with ODIN but it still keeps on rebooting, I installed 4.4 and 5.1.1 from my region and other regions, even the last stock one I installed (ODIN doesn't fail, in fact it shows that it installed correctly). Through Recovery, it switches off before the install is complete, and then it keeps rebooting just like when I try with a stock Rom

Mate on the stock ROM you say it keeps rebooting, can you bring up recovery? If so you can wipe cache and do a factory default, this may resolve the issue, Failing that if you can get TWRP on it you can try and wipe all files from the system internal storage. Then try and install the stock ROM and try and load it from there.

I think in ODIN too you can wipe the partitions, you can also try that as a last resort.

You can also wipe away the entire internal storage file system in the advanced system settings and start from new with a custom ROM and install these off the SD card.

Good luck
