Replacing stock firmware with stock firmare. Different region - General Questions and Answers

this is my first time flashing android with Odin. So I'd like some reassurance from more experienced people..
I have Galaxy Tab 7.7 with stock TGY (HK) version of Android. I want to replace it with XEU stock ROM using this article: http://www.techgoondu.com/2012/07/1...samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-to-ice-cream-sandwich/
I do not want to root my device
Will I be able to continue with 'usual' Kies upgrades in the future?
Also I read a post here that a guy had rather large problem flashing Chinese Galaxy SII with EU firmware. Luckily someone helped him with custom ROM... Is there known problem with flashing Tab 7.7 HK ROM with EU ROM ?

Create ROM with Odin? (purchased P6210 with XXLB2)

P6210 just became available in Canada last week. I purchased one, and it came with XXLB2. I didn't see any LB2 in the stock rom thread.
My question -
Before I do any rooting (and the permission mod of SD writing), is there a way to create ROM, using Odin?
XXLB2 rom for Canadian GT-P6210
Just wondering if anyone has the stock rom for the P6210 Canadian firmware. I would like to flash back to orginal. If you have the firmware please send me a link to get it or msg me.

You can't make ROMs with Odin.

[Q] How to change the CSC on ICS ROM?

Hi,
I have a P6800 with HK vendor code. When the ICS appeared I couldn't wait for the HK version, so I rooted the tablet and flashed first the P6800XXLQ1_CSC_ATO and later the P6800XXLQ2_CSC_ATO, both with Mobile Odin. I did it with the EverRoot option, so the device is still rooted. Since I live in Hungary and the ATO CSC is also for my country, it seemed to be the best choice. And really, the tablet works well, I am satisfied with it -- let alone some minor bugs.
But certainly I lost the possibility to get further updates by KIES. (In fact, since flashing the ICS ROM, KIES doesn't want to recognise the tablet at all.)
I may pass the tablet to someone inside my family and that's why now I'd like to restore the 'normal' state: gain back the KIES connection, the possibility to upgrade with KIES, etc.
The best would be to change the vendor code from TGY to ATO, so that the CSC and vendor code would match. Is it possible? If yes, how?
Thanks
goto playstore and search a software name galaxy s/s2 csc
i manage to change my csc using that software. but the device will factory reset after changing csc.

Yes, thanks, but I knew about that app, I downloaded it and run it, but in my case it wasn't useful. It detected my code as TGY but didn't offer another code to change to. (see attachment)
I guess this app worked for Honeycomb ROM but not anymore with ICS ROM.

Then flash back to HC ? Then look on Sammoble for ICS ROM for your area .
Yeah, I might do it... I just hoped to be able to avoid flashing and flashing again...
Maybe someone, who changed the CSC not before but AFTER flashing the stock ICS ROM, could help me by telling me where the vendor code stored in ICS ROMs.
It is different from the Honeycomb ROMs for sure, because the 'system/csc' folder does not exist anymore in ICS. Meanwhile the Galaxy S/S2 CSC app recognized somehow that my vendor code is TGY, so this information is stored somewhere, but I don't know where... If I knew it, I could try to modify it with Root Explorer, since the device is rooted.
To tell the truth, I'm afraid of flashing BACKWARD a 3.2 ROM and bricking the tablet...
i think that your rom isn't multi csc, only roms with multi csc gives you the ability to change it.
maybe honeycomb 3.2 for your region will fix your problem, do some research here on xda to how restock your tab before flashing, I think there is some problems to get back to hc, but everyone managed to surpass it.

Hi do you know by chance which ICS ROM is multi-CSC? Maybe I could resolve my problem by flashing it and not downgrading to HC ROM.
Thanks
sorry mate, I don't know, i haven't upgrade mine to ics yet.

I fleshed the P6800ZSLP7 ICS ROM (HK, the same as my sales code) with the hope that it's multi CSC, and yes, it is, but ATO is not among the possibilities...
So still no solution for me...
i would suggest to restock it to Honeycomb 3.2, maybe later this year an ATO update will be available directly from Kies.
you can find the stock rom on sammobile. com

Exactly that's what I'd like to avoid! Honeycomb ROM was so slow, lacking the smoothness the hardware is made for, that don't want to use it again. Now I'm with the HK ICS ROM (P6800ZSLP7) that is a little bit inferior than the 2nd ATO ROM, but still works without any serious bug and at least matches with the vendor code.
And I hope that some time a developer or expert will find out how to change the vendor code....

[Q] N8010 stock rom

Hi,
I tried to come back to stock rom, and the sotck rom that I found was a "Store Rom", I mean with no lock screen option and a screen saver that describe nicely the galaxy note 10.1 functions....
Anyone know where I can find a true Stock Rom ??
Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and search in "N8010" then download the firmware for your country. Sammobile is a huge repository of Samsung rom's and contains all of the official ones. I don't think you'll find a single fake on there.
you can also find stock rom for your model here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N8010
8000 is for most of the world and supports GSM/3G phone/data.
8013 is for the US and only supports WiFi.
From what I'm seeing up here in Canada, we're supposed to get 8010 which is also WiFi only
(I have an 8013 because I bought mine in the US a month ago)...
So.. What's the difference between an 8010 and an 8013?

Can i install normally apk on ubuntu image ?

Well, i bought my phone here in the Philippines. Also i came across a thailand firmware while searching and it matches mine, but the link is not available anymore.
So if you can find/give a stock firmware for me it will really help me a lot.
p.s. i cant post links yet so google "s7500dxlb1" and view the one that says "S7500DXLB1 Android 2.3.6 Thailand Firmware Download" to see the link im talking about.

Don't be worry.
I live in Taiwan but I can flash even German version( I've tried before)
This firmware is the latest. I think your version is older one. Samsung released several version to make it stable, so the latest version is the stablest version and it will also add some new features.
Actually, all S7500 firmware is suitable but you have to notice that your area.
Because I found I flash German 2.3.6 stock firmware and I cannot have stock Chinese keyboard in it.
Flash your country version is the best choice.
p.s. if you flash from a custom rom, don't forget to back up data you want and do factory reset. it will make your S7500 work like a new phone
thanks a lot
