So I believe I goofed here and could use some help. The tablet still works and boots into honeycomb, but things are not the same. ADW is crashing, home button is not working. I can still open apps and go to settings and get onto the net.
I rooted the device, installed Clockwork Mod and the SDCard permissions fix, but this all happened after applying the SDCard fix.
Now I went into recovery and tried restoring to factory default and used the factory reset through the Privacy tab under settings. Both options do not work. When I say it doesn't work, I mean that it doesn't ask me to create or sign in to my google account, it just goes back to the home screen with the same problems.
I read that Kies can reflash the device, but Kies is not recognizing the device on my mac. I haven't tried it using VMWare with Windows 7. I can give that a try I guess, but I can use some help here.
**edit**
So I logged into bootcamp using Windows 7, Kies shows it's trying to connect but it doesn't go past that point. I have found the odin instructions, but I don't have the proper stock rom to use with it. What now? The multiupload sites don't work, it keeps leading to google can't find the page.
Thanks!
***edit 2***
I need the official GT-P6210 US Firmware so I can recover my tablet using Odin (I can't boot into recovery, so I need to use Odin). I saw the thread with the download links, but they are all broken.
I can really use the help, I've googled all night and day, searched this forum and I'm running to brick walls. I'm at the screen where it says there was a problem updating the os (or something like that) and to use the kies recovery mode?
Thank you.
Have you tried searching for your stock firmware on www.sammobile.com ?
P_
I didn't know that existed, I will give it a try. I'm assuming I use those stock Rome with the oden app?(forgive me if I'm not spelling that right

helps on its way bro......
now follow my steps....
step1. download your required firmware package from the development section.
step2. download the odinv1.8 and then unzip and install to desktop
step3. open odin and select PDA and load the unzipped firmware file. (do not touch anything else at all)
step4. power on the device with volume button down and power on (download mode)
step5. plug in to pc via USB 2.0 as this has less chance of failing then press start on odin it will push the firmware on to the device and them reboot
step6. sit back and enjoy lol.

Yes, I did all this, but when I get to step 5 it says that the rom I used was invalid. Maybe I downloaded the wrong one, I'm not sure. But all the rome on here using multi upload, the links are not working. I just need to find the rom for my US Galaxy tab 7 plus wifi... can you point me to a working link?
At this point, I've been trying to reflash a firmware and it's not worked, it has now kept me at the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus boot screen. It doesn't even play the Samsung animation.
And while I'm in CWM i tried reformatting again and I noticed one error:
"Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure! <new line> Skipping format..."
This is the what I get when I format:
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
Suggestions would be great.
BTW: The multiupload.com url's in the development section is totally not working. I could use a mirror site for looking on the net is not working.
have you tried going to mounts and mounting data?

Well, I'm one step closer to solving this issue. I found a european rom and tried flashing it on my device using odin. It was going all well until at the end it failed when completing the writing part of the flash. When I tried booting the device, I get a graphic and an exclamation point saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again." Sooo, I think what i need is to get my hands on a firmware version for us or something that works.
it may be dangerous, but I thought there was a p6200 firmware and .PIT file floating around. You want to load that in ODIN ( or heimdall ) and choose repartition.
just my advice.
Ya I found a European firmware but it story!!ed at like 98%.

No need for pit, flashed european GT-P6210 firmware once and just some minor system app difference.
And yes, it seems there is no working link of official US GT-P6210 firmware here.
well good news!! Amazon has agreed to replace my tablet, so a new one is being shipped as I speek and should be here in about 3 days. I didn't think they would replace it with what has happened, but I got lucky.
All I can think of is the sdcard permissions hack screwing up everything. I'm just going to accept defeat and go the route samsung wants me to take to load files. Unfortunate, but it's the price to pay for this device. I really like the GT+, light weight, thin and looks great.
hmmm i've being flashing my GT+ many times as i always play with it framework and such... and have use the hack each time i reflash... never got the error
For future reference the 6210 US retail firmware is located in the Dev section under 'official Firmwares' Post #82 (I am a noob so I can't post a link)
I have used it. Once you have it loaded via ODIN then you can upgrade to the latest firmware via Keis.

first you need beni.ops file.. (just google it and download)
and for the firmware either you require a "one package file"(.tar)
or 4 different files BOOT,PHONE,CSC,PDA. You can get a firmware for fit from sammobile.com
last thing you need is ODIN multidownloader 4.38 for fit or later..
open odin.exe
tick onepackage if you have a single .tar firware file.
if you have four files then you need to carefully place respective file in respective option in "select image to download" section of ODIN. leave EFS empty.
Click on start and wait till your phone boots.
Alright! Im back to stock rom

I can't use the cwm because no matter what I try I can't get my goddamn phone to be recognized properly in download mode. It's seen perfectly when powered up on com3. When I go into download mode it's listed as an unspecified device and the usb modem driver doesn't turn on for the phone like it does when it's on.
Thank you for doing this it has been long overdue. Do you think you could provide the recovery image (and other files needed for installation?) without having to use the exe?

Thank you. An alternate way to install for those who are rooted and don't want to use Odin.
Create a copy of the recovery on your sdcard.
In the android terminal or adb with shell type dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
To make the recovery permanent.
Find /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Rename the file install-recovery.sh.backup
Reboot into recovery and enjoy the glory.

I had the same issue, and I narrowed it down to this: If you installed the samsung usb driver WINDOWS UPDATE then you are screwed. What you really need is a laptop with no phone drivers on it, and just plug your phone while it's on download mode and then it will be seen by ODIN. I had to use another laptop to install the recovery correctly.

You could always uninstall the drivers then install fresh ones from Samsung. Or use the in phone method.

Anyone else's recovery think it's march 13, 1970?
Also, I'm curiuos as to why it tries to fix root when I reboot and what, exactly, would it do to fix it. After reboot, root is not broken, so a fix is apparently not needed.

Worked flawlessly on a new phone. A 6 month old one, all appears ok, it sees the phone, odin loads the image, phone reboots ok. When I try try to reboot into recovery mode I get the stock recovery, not CWM.
Any ideas?

Just tried it.
Two things:
1.) The colors are off. I'm guessing it's identical to the issue rdawson detailed in the earlier debugging process. Also, the display jumps from side to side with each display change. I.e. each scroll up or down in a menu, also when the backup moves from file to file.
2.) The date of the backed up file is still 1970. Although, oddly, the properties of the files are dated 1979.

KitKat the EASY Way!!!!
Or, go back to 4.2.2 JellyBean
If you are going to return your phone back to warranty, I would suggest this method in this thread as it does a COMPLETE wipe of your device and puts it back to 'Factory'. It removes Root Flags so it does not show having been rooted, and removes ALL data.
Disclaimer: This is not MY method, but a method I used. The information and files have been figured out over time by many individuals and it's been combined in this thread.
This thread is to help Noobs AND Veterans to flash their ATT D800 LG G2 to KitKat. This will be very spelled out, and I’ve even included a video (see below), so NO Mistakes. Yes, that means you!
PLEASE refer to the Video Below before asking questions, as too many questions get a little overwhelming.
Warning! Please Read!
This WILL erase everything on your phone and put it back to FACTORY STATE, so be sure you’ve backed up!
Ok, first thing you need to do is download the version you want. I’ve got KitKat 4.4.2 version D80020c, and I’ve got JellyBean 4.2.2 version D80010o. These are VERY LARGE files, so be patient, although I am able to get as much as 6MB/s download speeds from this server.
BIG THANKS TO bigfau for the KitKat TOT and DLL files!!!
Download Installer - KitKat 4.4.2 D80020c - This Flashes Stock KitKat, WITHOUT Root, and WITHOUT Recovery. - Use TowelRoot and AutoRec to get Root and Custom Recovery. - Single File LARGE archive. KK MIRROR DOWNLOAD

Now, for the fun stuff (You may want to print this out for reference and check them off as you go)
Pre-requisites:
1. Be sure your phone is currently running a Compatible based ROM. If not, please flash a Custom Compatible Based ROM onto your phone. (ie: If you have a D800, be sure you have a D800 ROM on it. If you have a D802, be sure you have a D802 based ROM on it.)
2. Be sure you have turned on USB Debugging before starting.
Step #1: Program Installation:

13. Click ‘Next’ to start the LGFlashTool Patch. (This makes it so you don’t need to change the date back on your PC)
14. Click ‘Next’ again
15. Click the bullet to ‘Agree to my License’ and then click ‘Next’
16. Don't Change Anything and click ‘Next’
17. Click ‘Start’
18. Click ‘Next’
19. Click ‘Exit’ to finish Patch Installer

3. Hold the Volume UP Button on your Phone
4. While Still Holding the Volume UP button, plug in the USB cable to your Phone
5. Continue to hold the Volume UP button until your phone enters Download Mode

9. Scroll down to ‘COM41’ and select it
10. Click ‘OK’ Button to save that
11. Click ‘OK’ Button to close the Com Port Properties
12. Close the Device Manager
13. Close the System Window
14. Go back to the Desktop

2. In the ‘Model Config’ window, check the box ‘Select Manual Mode’
3. Next to the DLL space, click the Three Dots ‘…’
4. Select the DLL file named ‘LGD800_.....v160.dll’
---a. For 4.4.2 KitKat, select ‘LGD800_20130811_LGFLASHv160.dll’

14. If you DON’T see ‘READY!!’, you may need to start over
15. If you see ‘READY!!’ unplug your phone from the USB cable and Plug it right back in. DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS ON YOUR PHONE. It should STILL be in Download Mode.
16. The LG FlashTool progam will now start flashing your phone!!
17. At around 80%, the program will restart your phone.
18. It takes a while for the phone to restart, but it will boot to Android. Wait for the flash program to finish and it will turn your phone back OFF. And give you a ‘SUCCESS”
19. Close FlashTool
IF for some reason, the LG FlashTool does not finish 100%, and you get a ‘Fail’, as long as your phone has now rebooted into Android, you don’t need to worry about this. Just close the program, and enjoy your Freshly Restored LG G2!
For anyone having issue with the device check not passing due to mismatched device (caused by flashing a Custom ROM with Different device model ID to your D800: ie, D801 to a D800 or vice versa.), try using the attached dll file instead of the device specific one. It has been reported to work for many... You will need to extract the zip file to get the dll.
good stuff bud!
Thanks SuperSport. I have added a link to your thread in my guide.
Can we get an installer for 80100d . It will be easier for newbies
Just so you know, in step #4 you have 4.4.2 twice But great job man! You might want to use the 10d 4.2 as that is the one that recoveries work best with. Just a thought.

Thank you for that. FIXED.
EDIT: Why is 10d easier? Is it due to the script in ioroot22? I keep flashing 10o, then use ioroot22, then use FreeGee to install TWRP. Easy Peasy. BUT, I might have modified ioroot22 script for that, I don't remember ATM.
You my friend are a very nice person lol. Taking the time to put this together.

I haven't had my G2 very long so I haven't been able to test myself, but just looking around the forum seems the 10o firmware causes boot issues with some custom ROMs. I could be wrong though. Maybe the problem doesn't exist anymore and I'm reading old info.

Ioroot and then freegee TWRP route works on 80100o. Unfortunately, flashing ROMs (stock based and flex based especially) causes issues. I do not think anyone figured out the reason but going to 80100d solves the issue.

So I understand... If you flash Stock 10o, then Root and Flash Custom Recovery, you have issues flashing other ROMs? But if you Flash back to Stock 10d, you do not have issues flashing Custom ROMs?
Also, FYI: ioroot23 was just released... I don't know if that will make a difference. It has 10o support built in.
SuperSport bro u made my life so much easier. Thank u for your hard work bro.

Yes that is correct.
I am not sure if rooting was an issue. It was the recovery that seemed to be the issue. Not sure though and I guess since 10d worked not many people bothered to investigate further.

I'm having the same issue flashing any stock based rom on 800o. It throws me in a bootloop. How would I get the 800d fw?

i can confirm this is true. i lg flash tool'ed back to 10o, while i could get root i couldnt get twrp or philz recovery to work. when i went back to 10d with lg flash tool, i could get root and recovery to work. i even loki'd a couple recoveries and the recoveries wouldnt only give me a black screen when i tried to enter them on 10o. and i used ioroot23 to do all of this with.
Is this tool safe to use if the phone shows rooted after you go into download mode? Although I swore I unrooted the phone.
Took a chance and did this anyway and all is good. Upgraded successfully! Thank you so much for providing this tool! It was such a pain searching for a serial for lgflashtool. Will be donating asap for the help. Thank you thank you thank you. Directions were perfect as well and very easy to follow.
Downloads not working for me... 68% complete is furthest I've gotten. Tried seven or 8 times.

Success! after using this I called AT&T and they pushed me another small update then after that the kitkta update. I know there's no recovery available yet right?
Sorry Everyone, I've been out of town and only on my phone, but mostly busy with family stuff.

I'm sorry, I have been away from home. Just read this. Yes, you are fine if your phone is rooted. This Flash will remove Root. As mentioned in the First post, there is currently no way to root KitKat, (Unless I've missed something since last night). So root, then go to KitKat.

Some people have issues with Internet Explorer on Mega Website. You might install Chrome or Firefox and try it that way, or use a Download Manager of your choice.

That is Correct, no Custom Recovery. Not unless something has appeared since last night when I last went through the forums.
Usefull guide thanks
but i think there is not a difference between those Flash DLL i had 20130904 and just freshy flashed KitKat
also if anyone cares about a LG Flash tools "PASS" then while it stops on 80-94% and boot into OS itself, do a Factory Reset of phone and it will check a Factory Flag (it sets to 5) and gives message a PASS

Hey guys, today I tried to root my t-mobile s7 from a random YouTube video I found. After flashing a file from Odin, my phone got stuck in a boot loop.
I did a factory reset from recovery and the phone started up fine.
Now here's my problem, after doing a reset, the first thing I noticed was that while I was booting up the phone. It showed the usual Samsung Galaxy S7, followed by an unlocked padlock with the words "Custom" under it.
2nd issue. My phone just looks a lot different than when I originally bought it. It is also very sluggish, experiencing a lot of lag.
I've looked up how to go back to stock firmware but I'm not sure which one to use.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm currently on the PG1 firmware.
It appears you still have the eng kernal... You can just re-run the root.bat and install SuperSu, or if you want complete stock follow the steps below:
*Also Before you try this turn it off and let it charge for 45 min-1 hour or so...*
1. Volume Down + Power + Home to put it in download mode
2. Then press Volume Up to continue past the warning screen even if nothing is displayed.
3. Grab The Latest Version of Odin here
4. Then Download The Stock Firmware, in this case you will need whichever version you have (if you do not remember you can just download the latest available firmware) Download Firmware and then extract it. (If you have 5 different files in the zip go to step 8)
5. Then install Samsung device drivers(if not already).
6. Start Odin, Plug in the S7, Load in the tar.md5 in the AP/PDA and uncheck Auto Reboot and Repartition.
7. Let the phone restart... VIOLA!!!
8. Alternatively if the zip has 5 files... They should all start with the corresponding buttons in Odin For Example:
AP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
BL_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CP_G930TUVS3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_TMB_G930TTMB3APD8_CL7856276_QB9546176_REV02_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.md5
After they are entered into Odin you hit start and after a few minutes ... It should be fixed....
Let me know if you have any further questions or issues...
The custom is normal since you flashed a modified kernel.
Follow this instructions here for rooting / unrooting.
Most of these applies to Tmobile S7, expect specific ones mentioned for Verizon.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Thanks man, I'm gonna try to finish rooting. I thought my phone was just screwing up and the first part of the rooting process failed, since the bootloader.
I also tried sammobile and the download won't start.
If I were to download an earlier firmware, would I be able to update it to the most recent one?
Is it possible to revert to stock without wiping data?
Can I flash a custom kernel with flashfire?

No you cannot. Or rather, science threw bootloader is still locked, your phone will not boot if you try.

You can just use CSC and not the CSC Home.
Quick question, I bought a used s7 edge off Craigslist and when it's asking me to log in with another guys email. I tried contacting the guy I bought it from but he hasn't texted me back yet. Can I root it and install another rom on it to bypass the lollipop lock? Thanks guys.

Wait did you try rooting the s7 or s7 edge... (Or is the s7 edge completely unrelated to the brick)
