My Note 10.1 (N8010) won't boot - sticks at the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1" logo. Power+VolUp does not take me to the recovery (just reboots), but Power+VolDown *does* take me to "ODIN MODE", so I presume my options are limited to things I can do from ODIN MODE. Fortunately there is no data on the tablet that I need.
I would like to perform a factory reset.
My best guess is that I need to erase the cache (and possibly data) partitions. Can I erase these from ODIN?
If I need a cache.img or other images, where can I get or how can I create one?
I use Linux so I cannot use Kies. I have Heimdall which appears to do this sort of thing.
I have flashed TWRP (using ODIN) in the hope that it would boot into that recovery, but it does not.
