Hi.
I hope i'm not screwed now. I tried to root my tab to ics yesterday, but it hang during installation. Now the sd is completely empty, not one file, and the cache partition is also empty. No single file at all.
So how do i do now, the computer won't recognize my tab with KIES. I know how to root an use Odin.
Can i install ICS with Odin? It seems it only accepts, tar, md5 and smd files. All roms i have found are zips and wont be openable with Odin.
So now i really need your help guys..
Thank you.
First of all, sorry for violating the forum rules, but i can't help this guy without posting a link ;/
Look at this thread dude, i guess it should help you: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410752
Greetings and good luck to you

Can anyone help me, I need to know how much GT-p3110 is compatible with GT-3113...?
I have a need for a .opt & .pit file, for GT-p3113 8gb. I have tried other forums, but with no luck in getting a verification email from them yet, as this process has been a couple of days and still waiting. My efforts are not at an all loss, as I have found my answers there, just not able to communicate with other members there, so...?
I have found this .pit file here, and this post has mentioned that is was working on an 8gb device, but just how compatible is this .pit file...???
Here is that .pit file by the way.

Would like a bump, as I am in need of this pit file as well.
What do you need this for exactly...?
Can you just find a Stock Rom, for your device and start from there...?
Again, what is the need for a .pit file..., there may be another work around, by just installing a Stock Rom and then re-root...
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
I've been planning on gathering enough files to make a completely full system recovery in case I mess up my GP-P3110 really bad.
I have finally encountered the factory firmware for my gTab which is has the ZTO CSC but what I really had in mind was to be prepared for even the hard bricks. When it comes to my Galaxy S GT-I9000B all I need is the original fimrware (which I already have for the gTab) and a .pit file, but I have nothing else besides the original firmware for my gTab.
I came across this page (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3110-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96473/) where there seems to be the .pit file for the P3110, but I'm not sure if it actually does the job. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I was wondering what else I should have in order to bring my P3110 back from the dead, since someone said something about a .opt file also. What is it?
Thanks for the time!
Hey guys wassup! I'm new to this forum so sorry if i posted this in the wrong category but here goes.... Basically my wife has a samsung s3 gt-19300 and all of a sudden the phone wasn't turning on, when she attached the charger it just showed the battery sign but did nothing. took it to a few local phone repair shops they told us software or hardware issue and they cant fix it. The more i read online i started seeing how common it is and that people found a fix. I downloaded odin 3.07 and a few pda files and pit files but have no idea what im doing. all i get when i tried following instructions was there is no pit partition and once i got the pit file it said get pit partition. can some one please help me with a step by step guide and maybe even a download link to the right files for this phone. i have no idea about this stuff and would appreciate it. Also please dont send me a link to another thread coz its confusing as it is. hopefully some one will be able to help and i will keep this thread updated. thanks in advance and i look forward to the replies.
Let me first explain the thought process that went on before this all happened:
I wanted to stream my Spotify from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 to my smart TV via BubbleUPNP. But I couldn't do this for a number of reasons: my tablet wasn't a rooted device or running Android 4.1+ or had the Xposed framework. So I set to work trying to root my device and upgrade it to 4.1 in the process.
I used Odin to root my device and install the Xposed framework. This all went very smoothly and was impressed.
But the biggest error of all came when I tried to upgrade my Android version by Odin to about 4.1
+.
I managed to get what I thought was the correct ".tar" file. But part way through I was faced with an error message saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so I tried using Samsungs own "Kies" to recover my device. But I soon found out this would be no help because "gt-p5100 does not support initializing." so this application was useless. I then done a bit more digging around on the internet and found out that I can simply restore my device with the correct file on Odin again.
I don't quite know exactly what happened next but I'm presuming I made a ridiculously stupid error and downloaded and loaded the wrong file onto my device. My device now thinks it's a 7" "GT-P3100."
With the tablet being completely useless because the touch screen no longer works because of the confusion between the models and I cannot find the correct files to load onto Odin for it to work either, mainly because I've given up on things to even search.
I am asking this because I've tried for hours with no luck and need help restoring my tablet back to a "GT-5100" so I can then root it on Odin and upgrade the OS to 4.1+.
Please also note I could not simply upgrade my OS by going into setting/about device/etc.
I can see how this stupidity can being funny to others but my simple accident has cost me dearly and I would appreciate some help from other.
Thanks,
Mike.
Hi,
Normally flashing firmware from another device that's not yours is a brick, especially with Samsung.... But hopefully because it's another tab 2 firmware, you can fix yours. But definitely exercise caution in the future.
The place most are getting Samsung firmware, especially older models is sammobile website.
Other than that, any links I found on XDA for it are dead.
You obviously know how to flash with Odin, so try sammobile and find your correct firmware.
If you have further issues, you should ask for help in your device section, here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Okay I was worried it could be bricked, but if I managed to get an error message on an install to then be able to simply change the model with the wrong file, I hoped I could almost mess up an install to get back to that stage to then be able to completely re-install my original correct files.
Thank you I will try Sammobile. I think that might've even been where I got the wrong file from in the first place.
Thanks a lot for your reply it fills me with hope knowing there might be a way to rectify my mistake.

try using a pit file with odin. im thinking it wouldnt have an error if you had the pit file.
to answer your question "what have i done?" it would seem, you changed things you didnt understand and didnt realize the consequences, resulting in a big @SS mess
dont do that
Like I said odin won't work because of unexpected partition layout.
I'm fully aware of the consequences however I will be the recipient
Of a Samsung galaxy note 4 next week so I was just experimenting
And I will definitely not be rooting that

ill just assume you dont know what a pit file is, and ill move on. good luck!
No need to assume, I'll be honest I've no idea what a pit file is or how to use one
Etc etc, however I'd be interested to learn if you can give me the basics, everybody has to start somewhere and the only way to progress is if people share the knowledge,
So what do you know that can help me??

go to your devices forum where the return to stock post is, and see if there is a pit file for whatever version you have. if not, try a search for pit over your general and q&a forums. im sure you will find some, just need to match them to the stock files.
on odin, there is a pit box, check it and link your pit file.
I'd just like to let you know I have managed to sort my phone out
I got a clockwork mod ,and now I'm using something called CyanogenMod
I'm not quite sure how I have managed to achieve this but I have my WiFi connected
to my phone again, Odin is installed and working with no unexpected partition layout
Problems, however my SD card won't mount and I can't seem to get Google playstore
But for now its a small price to pay considering where I was this afternoon. I think I've done well
Hi,
I've just rooted a samsung J7 Prime G610F using Odin. Primarily because I wanted to recover some deleted files in the internal memory. I succedeed after many times (one click root etc... didn't worked).
Anyway now I've another problem. My phone didn't recognize the pin to unlock. Then I made a hard reset but now the phone keeps restarting!
Please any quick solution to fix this mess?
Thanks in advance
Hi guys.
Please any reply???
May be you stucked into bootloop...so check thread of fixing bootloop in your device...!You can find thread in xda j7 devices
Thanks for your reply.
I've downloaded the stock firmware to recover my phone but Odin failed. It stuck and didn't want to go in download mode.
I've read that it could be that Odin doesn't recognize the file inside the archives. So I've removed the .md5 extension and extracted the recovery image and finally put it in a new archive (recovery.img.tar)
When I flashed again with Odin I only loaded this archive and it reset my phone. It switched on normally.
My question is,
Should I load also all the files (BL, Cp, CSC, Home CSC) inside the stock firmware to recover my phone totally to its original Samsung firmware using the same method as above (remove md5 extension etc..)?
Also I need to say that neither Kies3 nor Smart Switch are working. My phone isn't recognized.
Please help me to get out of this nightmare!
I know that all of you guys are busy inventing new things but please don't forget the majority of us who don't understand so much and need some help.
Finally what is the aim of the technology? To serve us and to make our life easier. Right?
Thanks for your time
Because no one is answering since 1 week, I'll reply to myself.
