"I'm having the same problem. I'm able to turn off the tablet just in time between reboots.

I've tried the factory reset through Settings etc. (i was only succesfull doing it this way once) and tried several times, using the Power and Vol-down button. Did not change anything.

Using Wipe cache data, Wipe User data same story.

Also tried to reinstall the firmware using Odin, also not working.

Does anyone have any other suggestions I could try?"

"Well, without knowing the particular make/model of the tablet, youmay need to search for the exact method for doing this, but... Boot into Safe Mode. This does much the same as with your PC, but prevents ALL user-installed apps from starting/running. So only default system apps are active. This is helpful in eliminating your apps/files as the source of the problem, if the problem persists. The downside is that antivirus / anti-malware can't be run in Safe Mode.

This page has details, plus pictures, of two methods for accessing Safe Mode.

This is easier than me trying to tell you myself, when something with pictures can do it better. :D"

I would suggest taking it to an authorized Samsung Dealer and have them take a look at the power supply. I have a Samsung Galaxy phone with a removable battery that would restart and restart and didn't boot I did a factory reset the problem continued. I took out the battery and rubbed the contacts lightly on a piece of fabric then re-installed the battery, it worked perfect. The only issue with your tab, no access to the power supply. Good luck i hope you can get it fixed.
