Follow the other ICS update threads, and you'll find the answer.

i used this site ( theunlockr.com/2012/05/01/how-to-root-galaxy-tab-2-7-0/).

Solved Root problem.
Eventually got root back after doing a factory reset but when I installed "Titanium backup" it asked a question about my settings whether I want to use old or new and I chose old tablet restarted and then I lost root again. So did factory reset again and after installing Titanium chose new and now am rooted again.:victory:

Firmware changed from DE to WW after unroot

Hey all,
unfortunately I can't post in the dev section yet, so I have to ask here...
I currently have an unrooted TF101 (B50) from Germany (DE). I originally used this one-click-solution to root my device (FW: DE 3.1, no CWM installed). Everything worked fine.
Later ASUS released the 3.2 update and I wanted to unroot my device and update it. So I used the unroot script and it seemed like everything worked fine. I did not revert to stock recovery when I was asked, due to the fact I had no CWM installed before.
After my device was unrooted I put the update on SD and was wondering why my TF didnt recognize it. Long story, short: In the settings I saw that my device now has the WW edition of the firmware. That's why it could not detect the DE update. So I thought, hm maybe the WW is working and indeed it was at least saying "Update available" when I inserted the SD. But after the reboot I just got an exclamation mark after 10 seconds.
I already tried many things, llike rerooting & unrooting with stock recovery to DE. I also tried other root / unroot / recover methods, nothing helped. I'm still stuck on WW 3.1 now. Google also didnt find any solution for DE.
The only thing I found, which might help me, is this thread: http://tabletroms.com/forums/transf...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html
But it's only WW / US, no DE ...
Maybe someone here has an idea how I can bring back my normal stock DE firmware on my tab?
Thanks in advance

P3113 Update

I've noticed there was an update on kies this week (P3113UEBLH1), I'm not sure what it was thought.
I've tried upgrading in kies, it was stuck at 0% downloading then connection timed out.
The OTA update didn't find any updates available.
Then next morning, kies said no update available too.
So, Anyone got the update to work, and if so what changes did you notice?
The update is available for flashing with odin on samsung-updates.com , this is the 2nd 4.0.4 update. (I'm still running the old 4.0.4 (P3113UEBLG5))
I don't have it, but I can look into it...

My device is rooted, and the only backup I made with CWM was after I rooted, if I go to update (if my device can find it) will I:
1) Brick out and be screwed?
2) Have to flash my backup (which is rooted, so would that mean I can't update again?)
3) Be ok and keep my rooting?
4) Be ok, and lose my rooting, and have to re-root?
I realize I am kind of answering your question with a question, but I would be happy to see if I can track it down and see what changes there are, if it's safe to install.

Try backing up your system using clockworkmod recovery first, then go to download mode, flash your firmware version (download from samfirmware or samsung-updates) and flash it with odin.
This way you're unrooted, running stock rom and stock recovery and then you can install the update.
I didn't try to install an update while rooted, but it's not recommended so don't try.
I did a back up after I rooted with CWM

So is my backup going to be rooted? Or will it be the stock? I am currently rooted stock 4.0.4.
Btw, I have found no information about the update anywhere on the net. Maybe they accidently did a push to us, and pulled it back?
Should I wipe cache, dalvik and FDR before I flash the firmware from those sites or use the backup I made already? (which I am unsure if I should even use since idk if it will be rooted or not lol)
I wasn't going to update till it was time to get JB, but this update that vanished is intriguing enough I might lol
As i know yes when you restore backup with cwm the result will be rooted also as the cwm takes image of the system when doing backup and as you when doing backup was rooted so when restore this backup you will be still rooted if you flash via odin no need to wipe cash and dalvik cash i never read anyone doing this
Even if you do this wipe no harm at all
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
As mohamed selim said, but wipe your data and do a factory reset in clockworkmod (after backup)
and why will samsung pull back the update?
There's several reasons why this may happen

They pushed it out to the wrong devices
They pushed it out to early
They found a last minute bug and had to pull back
They are testing it, and not everyone should have gotten the option to get it.
Ok so to get things straight. If/when we go to JB I will need to download a firmware stock from one of the sites listed above, download it.
Do a backup (just to be safe of what I have now)
FDR/Wipe everything
Install the firmware using Odin
If everything looks good, re-flash CWM
Do another backup so I have a clean stock to revert back to down the road if needed.
That sum it up correctly? This way I can bookmark this thread so I don't forget lol.
**EDIT** When I use Odin to restore stock will I lose CWM? If so, what happens if something goes wrong in the Odin restore and I have a boot loop, or etc, what would be my next move since I won't have CWM to restore previous, would I be able to install it like I would if things were going ok?
Sorry for sounding like a n00b, I am still learning all about this, but I think I am getting closer to learning enough to not be a n00b lol. I only have 10 tabs open with this forum instead of 20!

It's not for the wrong device since it's saying P3113, and it's not jelly bean. as I've seen on samsung firmware.com it's 4.0.4.
Well, on my homescreen I put a shortcut for the software update, it still has a circle saying 'N" on it (which probably stands for new), but going in kies I don't find it, It only says it downloaded it but the firmware is up to date.
So probably either they really pulled it back, or it's a bug and they're fixing it. (I really can't wait for jelly bean)
Second, yes it will erase the CWM recovery and go back to stock recovery.
The common mistake people make to get a bootlop is not wiping data/doing a factory reset before flashing a new ROM, so you should go to recovery and do a factory reset, then go to download mode and flash the firmware with odin. If you ever get stuck in a bootloop, try pressing volume down + power key to get to download mode and re flash the ROM. if it's still stuck, try re-downloading the ROM files you downloaded, it could be corrupted.
Awesome!

So the one on the site even though its XAR is us? Can I ask why we have that tag? Not something like US or etc? I mean I don't care, just kinda curious since that would make it more simple to know which region gets what, at least for me it would lol.
Thank you so much for the help and the knowledge, I figured I would end up with stock recovery, which is why I wanted to make sure about what if something goes wrong.
As a side thought, where does the backup that CWM makes located? Can I copy and paste that on to my PC so I always have a back up handy? (I would sync it into the cloud). Can I flash that with odin down the road? Or is that only a CWM usable file?

I tried updating it once with KIES and it got to a point and froze on the screen. I had to force the tablet to shut down and rebooted and the tablet was OK. Being a glutton for punishment I tried again with KIES and the LH1 update successfully updated my GT2 7 and the About screen confirms it. Directly after installing and rebooting I started getting error messages about Chrome crashing. I uninstalled Chrome browser and reinstalled it and all is well. No other problems. Do NOT really notice ANY difference at all.
The only problem I have is that NOW I have decided that I would like to root my GT2 7 and I am NOT sure the methods I see out there will work with the P3113UEBLH1 update.
Does anyone know if my GT2 7 - P3113UEBLH1 can be rooted safely??

Can you please tell me what's different than the older UEBLG5 version? and btw can you upload the stock rom itself without root so I can test it? because I couldn't download :s
EDIT: I downloaded it via samsung-updates.com and flashed it with odin.
It's pretty much the same as UEBLG5 I didn't notice anything different, but I downgraded to UEBLG5 as samsung appears to have pushed back this update (UEBLH1), because when I connect the device to kies, it doesn't recognize it.

Sorry for the question, but what do you mean comfirmed OTA? Once kies told me about the UEBLG5 update, I couldn't install it with kies as it was lagging.
Next day I found it on the OTA update.
This one showed on kies for a day, then next day neither kies or the OTA udpates showed there was an update so it probably got pulled back?

[Q]Stock firmware 4.1.2 problems

Hi, I am using OTA update for 4.1.2 for last couple of months on my GT P3100. Few days back the touch screen suddenly not working, even I could not able to reboot . Anyway I rebooted it and found that I could not able to install any new apps, cancell button works but install button not. Then I performed factory reset. This time I found some graphics problem at my setting menu bar. Now I could not able to decide whether should I stay in this stock Rom or switch to some other Rom. What could be the possible reasons? Someone pl help.

sounds like you had a bad update and not updated corectly. I suggest you flash the stock rom manually.
Where can I get stock 4.1.2? I don't want to lose my set's warranty. I am from India. If I flash any other country firmware, what will happened ?
One more thing 4.1.1 is better than 4.1.2.

[Q] Update stock rooted galaxy tab

Hey all, I have a bought a galaxy tab 2 on android version 4.1.1 a while ago.
Back then I rooted the tablet so I could run whatsapp etc. on it.
After some research last days I noticed there were a few updates for the tab, and I decided that i want 4.1.2, (but still with root)
now my question is(since I can't update over the air):
How can i update my tab to version 4.1.2 while keeping the root acces and without losing or need to reinstall my apps?
because if i download the stock 4.1.2 ROM and install it, I lose all my apps and I need to reinstall it (from my experience with the htc legend).
thanks in advance!
Make a backup in CWM and install the ota; it seems that usually with this device OTA's will install properly when rooted.
You know, it's a sad day when your cellular service is faster than your home broadband.

No, that is the problem. It is not possible because it will say taht my device is modified. But i decided to try cyanogenmod on it. And if it doesn't suit me then i will install stock 4.1.2.
but still thanks

Can't load firmware on Odin phone bricked

I recently rooted my phone to try and recover some deleted pictures after the phone completely crashed and wouldn't load up , I have tried to install an original firmware using Odin but I keep getting the same message about not being authorized . Am I installing the wrong files or am I not doing something thathat causes it to fail?
Where did you download the firmware? Are you sure you're using the correct version?
Are you on a G930T or a G935T?
I had the same problem on mine before, what solved it was downloading a later version of the firmware, as you can't downgrade just like that.
You can download the latest firmware from Sammbile. (I would link but I have less than 10 posts.
The T stands for T-Mobile, and the 930 is the regular, 935 is the edge. If you're not T-Mobile, you're in the wrong section, but I'm still glad to help once I obtain more information.

Always flash the most recent firmware becasue if you don't remember chances are you can flash an old version and run into issues, so to be safe flash the latest available firmware. Also when you first rooted did you change the CPU governor or run/install anything that could have caused the bootloop in the first place?

You can install this awesome rom to speed things up don't worry it's a stock rom so no Knox trip. The link I will provide also has instructions. So to get started I recommend making a backup of applications with titanium backup which might require the pro so unfortunately you may have to buy a full version( if you don't want to spend money you can patch the app with lucky patcher). And I recommend checking out this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...stockdeodexeddebloatedrom-7-10-t3415952/page1
It is somewhat debloated and has the best speed I've seen yet... Ive been using it for a month now and I love it!
