I am an IDIOT...Tab 7.0 Plus

I'm the somewhat proud owner of a GT-P6200L in the U.S. who is eagerly awaiting the ICS upgrade.
Obvously, to go through Samsung Kies and to not root or download a Rom requires me to wait until Samsung decides to grace me.
I'm not crazy about doing anything "non-factory" to this device as it is excellent just as it is, but if I were to decide to upgrade to ICS, where can I find COMPLETE STEP by STEP instructions on EXACTLY how to perform the update? Does it even exist?
Your help is much appreciated!

settings>about device>software update.
of by Using Samsung Kies>connect device>check for firmware update;etc.
If you're looking for a guide to install our only official ICS to your GT-P6200L, there isnt really a guide.
I will explain briefly: 1. Wipe 2. Odin 3. Done.
read and search for more details.

Not to be a douche, but look at the stickies or search before asking.

You can use Odin 1.85 tick box auto-reboot and F.Reset Time. click PDA and select the extracted TAB 7+ ICS Firmware. Boot your TAB to download mode. (From OFF, press and hold power and down volume key, once you see the galaxy tab screen turn on, let go of the power button while still pressing the down key until the menu appears telling you to press the volume up key to continue.) Plug in your TAB to the PC (using the stock cable) wait for the yellow ID:COM port number to appear on the ODIN screen then click the start button.
OR, you can also use mobile odin. :good: (The Joy of Flashing.... without the cable juggle )

Here, hope this help, just follow his instruction and you are good to go. I've done it, no flaws, ics is running smooth~
Search for odin via google, it is a small file less than 1mb.

Flashing Firmware with Odin
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Get Odin v3.04 from here:https://androidfirmwares.net/Tools/Download/8
(Just extract the Odin folder)
You will also need to install the Samsung USB drivers for the device if you haven't installed KIES. Get them from here: Download
Just install like any Windows program...
1. Just download the firmware version you want from the second or third posts and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key + press the power button.

}
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin
4. If your ROM is a single .tar.md5 package click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1 and select it. This should like like the image below.
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA/Code, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin like below.
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
Regardless of firmware version it's still the same methodology
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for any required drivers to install and the ID:COM section to turn blue like below
7. Click start to flash. If Odin hangs at setting up connection just unplug the USB cable and re-attach it, Odin should now resume
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.
If the firmware is from this thread it will not wipe your phone if you flash as recommended UNLESS I state that the firmware is a "WIPE" version.

A HEARTY THANK YOU is in order.
I never flashed or rooted anything for fear of bricking my unit. But your post gave me the confidence to try.
And it was simple and wildly successful.
Interestingly, I have a 6200L because it has a different antenna than a regular 6200 right? After flashing, I now have a 6200 but still get the same reception and speeds on the ATT network.
When Samsung finally gets around to "officially" updating my Tab, I will be able to do it via Kies, correct?

Yes, is correct...

I've connected my newly upgraded to ICS unit to Kies and it says that "Your Device does not support upgrading via Kies".
Kies obviously doesn't like the upgrade!

is it rooted? this is usually why.
maybe Kies just needs an update for your model no.

Nope not rooted. It was a stock 6200L

Extract Firmware zip file that you downloaded already from above link, you will get a .tar file and some other files.
Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Power off your phone. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 phone in Download Mode by pressing pressing and holding down the Volume Down and Home buttons while pressing the Power button until you are welcomed by a green robot indicating you are in Download Mode.
Now run Odin3 v3.07.exe (see Step 2) as an Administrator because Admin privileges is required to complete the process smoothly.
Now connect your Galaxy Pocket Duos GT-S5302 with your PC using USB cable. A message will arrive under Odin’s message box in the bottom left saying “Added!!”. If you don’t get the same then you should try another USB port (try USB port located in back in your desktop PC). If that too don’t work then you should then reinstall the driver. If you successfully see the “Added!!” message in Odin then you are ready to go in next step. You should also see COM port with a number in Yellow if you successfully added your device.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs from extracted S5302JPLH2 firmware folder :
Click the PDA Button, and select the .tar file here with *code* appearing in its name
Click the Phone Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the CSC Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (leave if there is no such file)
Click the PIT Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting in step 1 above, otherwise ignore it.
In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Also, make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file (see Step 7.4).
Double check everything that we mentioned in Step 7 & Step 8 above. Now, once satisfied hit the START button to begin the flashing process.
Once flashing completed, you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. The phone will then automatically rebooted and soon you will see the Samsung logo. You can then unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
Congrats! Your Galaxy Pocket Duos, model number S5302 should now run on Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread build JPLH2. Go to Settings > About phone to verify this firmware update.:good::good:

​7. Now switch off your droid and enter into Download Mode. Enter into Download Mode by pressing VOLUME DOWN button, HOME KEY and POWER BUTTON simultaneously. And then, press VOLUME UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode.
​The picture given above is for a generic Samsung droid due to pictures of GT-S5282 unavailable...
But overall the screens will be the same in GT-S5282 with the screens shown above.:fingers-crossed:
8. Connect your droid (in Download mode) to your computer via Data Cable. Check whether a communication port [ID:COM] box is highlighted in light blue. If yes, your droid is now successfully connected with the computer and ready to flash the stock ROM into the device.
​9. Start flashing the stock ROM into your droid by clicking the Start Button in Odin. After sometime a BLUE coloured "RESET!" sign will appear on the upper-left box of Odin. Do not disconnect your droid yet!
​10. A few minutes later, a green coloured "PASS!" sign will appear on the upper-left box of Odin if the stock ROM has been successfully flashed into your droid.
​11. Disconnect your droid from your computer. You have now successfully flashed stock ROM into your droid...!!!:victory:
12. Once your droid boots up, go to Settings>System>About device>Kernel version and check your firmware version.
If I have helped you to flash stock ROM on your GT-S5282, please press the THANKS button...:good:

Root my NOTE 3 SM-N900 Lollipop 5.0 - Problems

First of all, I am newb, kindly ignore silly replies till I am used to technical stuff, Very new to Android World.
I have upgraded to lollipop 5.0 properly from KitKat. Now planning to root my device to try more..
I have succesfully done following with guidance of http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5375117 :
1. I am using following files as recommended, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58648567&postcount=297
Using odin 3.10
2. Followed instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58732404&postcount=345
I used that CF method once and it ended up tripping my knox counter. So I will just stick to the su method I used.
Once you launch odin. Make sure only the Autoreboot and F.Reset time boxes are ticked on the left side of Odin.
Then head over to the right side,Tick the box just before AP and then navigate to where you've downloaded the CWM. select it.
Now boot your phone into download mode (press power+volume down+ home), connect it to the PC and once that part written ID COM on odin goes green, click on start and wait for odin to do its thing.
Upon completion, your phone will reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Was able to complete this task properly, without any issues.
Now make sure you copy the super su zip file to your device storage then reboot into recovery (press power+volume up+home button) and flash the zip file.
Thats it. Your sm-n900 will be rooted.

I got another suggestion:
hat means the zip file is corrupted. Disable signature verification in CWM

Click to collapse
But there is no way I can find an option to disable signature verification in CWM for NOTE 3 SM-N900
Looking for expert advice.
So far, being little more comforable with android compared to my DAY 1 here.
Regards,

You need custom recovery to flash that .zip file via recovery. Stock recovery requires certain signature in the file.
You can use the CF-Auto-Root to root your phone, you can find it in Original Development section. Requires Odin for that.

Dear sir,
Request you to kindly help me through step by step instructions.
I am a newb for sure but will never give up.
User helping me said no to go for cf-suto-root for some knox counter issues.
Kindly help what right file to download and go ahead with right stuff.
We have few more mobile to test everything. We keep getting

SwiftKey keyboard messed around many options SORRY

CF-Auto-Root is pretty much only method for Lollipop at the moment. Yes, it does trigger the KNOX Warranty Void flag though, look it up if you want to know what it means (voids warranty in certain regions apparently, definitely not in EU).
Instructions are in the first post of the CF-Auto-Root topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2466423
I can post better instructions tomorrow, no time today.

I followed the above method, phone rooted properly.
But now I end up with phone not booting.. due to some mistake.

[HOWTO] Total Reflashing of the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite via NAND Erase and Re-Partition

If anyone needs to totally reset their Tab S6 Lite (2020 Exynos Version) with Odin, this guide should help.
​
Code:
**I take no responsibility for any broken devices!** While care has been taken to ensure the steps are correct, **you are doing this at your own risk!**
All files will also be provided at the end of this guide for ease of access!
What is NAND?
NAND and NOR are actually 2 main types of flash memory, that are related to computers, and it stores the BIOS settings to the ROM of a computer. Since Android devices don’t have a BIOS, flash memory, or NAND relates to the bootloader and OS kernel that work together to boot Android devices into the system. Being a non-volatile memory, it keeps the essential OS data even when your Android smartphone is turned off.
You cannot fix a Samsung device after an unintentional NAND erase action by simply flashing the stock firmware. Since NAND erase wipes all existing partitions from the device’s storage, you’ll have to re-partition your device in Odin with the help of an appropriate PIT (Partition Information Table) file.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Re-Partitioning Explained:
NAND memory on Android devices is divided into partitions and block structures. These partitions are essential to the proper functioning of a device. It’s the PIT file that tells Odin how much space to allocate to the boot, kernel, system recovery, data, and EFS partitions. Not just that, it is also responsible for the location and path of these partition blocks on the internal storage.
The Re-partition option in Odin is not meant to be used during a normal firmware flash. If you have to install firmware, just add the BL, AP, CP, and CSC files to Odin and do not change the default settings.
The PIT file determines the structure, location, and size of specific partitions. Since a NAND erase wipes all partitions, the only way to re-partition your device using is to flash a PIT file that is strictly for your Samsung Galaxy device model and storage capacity. Flashing a wrong PIT may result in a semi-bricked device. Moreover, if you flash the PIT file of a 128GB device model on a 256GB model, your phone may be configured to show only 128GB as available storage.

Instructions
Grabbing the right version of Odin is the first step. Due to the fact the tool is never meant to be used by consumers, Samsung doesn't host it on a public download portal. Fortunately, XDA Senior Member realbbb maintains a repository of verified copies of the Odin tool. He also offers patched variants of Odin (known as "3B patched") that are capable of bypassing a number of stop conditions while cross-flashing.
--From this article
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Download the correct version of Odin from @realbbb 's thread, here.
You will also need to install the Samsung USB Drivers. These can be downloaded at this link.
To get the Samsung Firmware files, Samsung Firmware Downloader by Zachary Wander is highly recommended. The link to it is here.
Should you desire to pursue more information about Samsung Firmware Downloader, please use this link.
You will need 7-zip to extract the CSC file. To do so, get it from this link.
Go to Settings -> About Tablet and take note of the Model Number. It should be either SM-P610 (Tab S6 Lite 2020, Wi-Fi) OR SM-P615 (Tab S6 Lite 2020, LTE)
Then, tap on Software Information and scroll down to Service Provider Software Version. At the end will be a string of letters saying something like this: ITV/ITV/ITV. In this case ITV is your CSC.
Unzip Samsung Firmware Downloader. Click the "Bifrost" executable in the extracted folder.
Within Bifrost, enter the Model Name and CSC into the respective fields, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After entering the correct information into the firmware downloader, click "Download" and wait while it finishes.
Extract the version of the downloaded firmware.
Find the file starting with CSC_XXXXX Make a copy of it and paste the file into another directory. Right click on it and choose 7-Zip -> Extract To...
In the folder of the extracted CSC file, find the PIT file; it should be something like GTA4XLWIFI_EUR_OPEN.pit
Unzip the version of Odin you downloaded. Right-click the Odin executable and click Run As Administrator
At the main Odin screen, enter the files of the firmware like so:
AP goes into the AP slot
BL goes into the BL slot
CP goes into the CP slot - (If using the LTE version)
CSC goes into the CSC slot
Now, navigate to Options in the Odin Window and choose NAND Erase and Re-Partition
Finally, navigate to the Pit tab. Accept the warning and add the extracted PIT file from earlier.
With the device powered off, hold down the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. Connect the device to your PC.
Press Volume Up to accept the warnings. At this point, you will see a message from Odin, saying "Added!"
Once you are certain everything is in order, press the Start button.
Wait for the firmware to flash. If successful, you will see a large green "Pass!" notification in the Odin window. Disconnect your device from the PC.
Your device should now be fully reset!
