Install custom recovery then flash the Galaxy ROM HD.

also, when making major changes like that, its best to do a "factory reset", which should be an option available in Recovery Mode.
"Why would that help?", well, Android is a modular OS, composed of lots of different apps. Most of these apps store their current settings in your device's /data partition. Generally, when booting up, the various parts all try to launch and then check to see if there are stored settings available for use. If there are, the apps try to load those settings and use them. If you have suddenly changed from one ROM to another, many of these apps are going to be different versions, often different enough to cause the old settings to not work right.
When you do a "factory reset", (among other things) the /data partition is erased, so the apps all get a chance to write their own fresh settings, and thus your device will actually be able to boot up

this doesnt belong in development section..

[Q] GT-P7560

Is anybody familiar with this model?
I want to install ICS on it, but unfortunately am at a loss here.
Some kind of 3.2 beta was installed to it and the "About device" settings menu stated that it was a GT-P6800.
Unfortunately Odin failed write a GT-P6800 firmware on it (PDA only).
It was only then that i noticed that it says product name GT-P7560 in the Download Mode. But I cannot find any firmware of that model.
Which firmware shall I use?

Actually, you are in the proper section.
The following website has the info on your tablet. It is a GT 7+ variation.
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3142&view=1&c=samsung_gt-p7560_galaxy_tab_7.0_plus_16gb
Why not do a factory reset and go from there. If that does not get you to where you want to go, give Samsung support a call.
Keep us posted on what ou find out.

iUnfortunately I can do neither soft nor hard reset.
Due to the failed attempt to install the wrong firmware the tablet does no longer boot.
And nothing happens when I try to access the recovery menu by pressing volume up and the power button.
But even if I was able to reset the device, this would not bring me closer to my ultimate goal of installing ICS on it.
Is there no firmware of another model similar enough to be flashed safely on this model?
Samsung Support would be my last shot.

You'd probably have to as garyd9 or another dev to give ClockWork Recovery support to your model number, install that, make a backup, then you can ask to have your model number added to the what they support in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576553
when your post count is high enough ...
WiFi isn't working in the build, and other minor glitches.
Good luck?
While I personally think that CyanogenMod is great, it is no option in this case.
I need a stock rom.
Samsung gave us this device in order to test our apps on it.
Seems that it is some pre-release device or a device that never will be released.
I guess I will have to get in touch with Samsung support.
Update: The first Samsung Service Center rejected the device, stating that they do not handle unofficial devices.
At the second however (halfway across the city) they told me that they would have a look at it. The technician there said that the IMEI number printed on this device did not even exist.
By the way: I would like to thank all of you for your pieces of advice.

[Q] Stock GT-N8013 Samsung ROM

Does anyone know where or even if there are just plain vanilla stock unrooted Samsung ROMS for the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 (US variant)?? I rooted and flashed a custom ROM to my tablet and after awhile, I decided I wanted to go back to complete stock. I have seen threads with the original stock kernel and recovery, but I sort of wanted a full, 1gig+ stock unrooted ROM offered by Samsung.. I have seen stock ROMs for other series of this tablet, but I have been unable to find any for the N8013. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Sammobile.com has it, but ics only.

Go to www.samfirmware.com and select the firmware tab. Once you enter your tab details, the available firmware is there to download.
Install with Odin and you'll have your stock tab back.
I did that recently having installed the UK JB firmware, but managed to get a binary count of 12 (increased by 2 per flash)
Now I am back to standard and waiting for the official OTA upgrade *yawn*
Good luck

Can't Get Firmware
Unfortunately, SamFirmWare.com won't let me download the firmware. It asks me to log in, and I do. Then when I go to the Firmware page, it forgets who I am, and tells me to log in again. It doesn't forget anywhere else, JUST on the firmware page.
I tried setting up another account, but they want my credit card info for that now, and I ain't giving that out!
I know that this is the name of the file you are looking for. Do a search for it and this will get you back to a stock ROM.
I know because I had to use it once to recover a quasi-brick issue on my tablet.

Not exactly what you're looking for but this one is all stock, latest firmware except it is deodexed and retains root. You can re-odex the ROM if you want. Been running it for a while now and it's been pretty damn good.

It's only needed to reset the flash count, if your not worried about the count and or out of warranty then you don't really need it.

As stated in post #14 above......
Install Triangle Away first then run the app to clear firmware counts.
Connect tablet to a PC via factory USB cable.
Boot tablet into Odin mode, start Odin app on PC and in PDA line direct the app to the N8013UEUCMI3_N8013XARCMI3_XAR.zip
file and press Start in Odin app.
After restart do a factory reset from tablet recover mode.
Done

@OP
I didn't get enough information as to why the firmware upgrade was failing. I was also going you could pull an xml fastboot for me from your existing setup if you are still rooted.
Please download this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox and make an xml backup of you're current phone. I also want the XML backup but it it's very large, so you should break it up into 100mb files using 7 zip and re-compress it. Then post it to your Dropbox. Don't worry this backup doesn't have any personal data.
Then you can download the update file from my Dev-host account here :
http://d-h.st/JNV
And save the file to your external sdcard.
Boot into recovery, then try to apply the update from sdcard, and write down exactly all the information it says (maybe take a picture of it using another camera). And send me all the information.
How to boot into recovery:
1) Power off phone completely
2) press and hold both volume buttons and at the same time press the power button.
3) use the volume down button to navigate the the recovery option, then press volume up.
4) an Android on the side will appear, now tot can proceed with updating
How to apply update in recoveyr mode:
1) press and hold both volume buttons while pressing power button
2) a menu will appear, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option to update from external sdcard
3) find the update file and press the power button on it.
4) watch the update, if it fails please tell me all error messages, hopefully tot can take a picture for me.

Did you try to modify the update package? It looks like the update package doesn't have the same signature as it should.
Do not try to open up the ZIP file provided, just place it on the external SD card without touching it.
If you get another error after that, please the new error.
I'm having the same problem cause I deleted the bloat ware from my Rogers phone. From what I've been reading, I'm thinking about just staying on the 4.0.4.

"FDR" -> Factory/Full Data Reset does not replace applications that have been deleted.
The only way to fix is to put them back or RSD/Flash back to stock.
I hate these threads.
People remove apps and wonder why the upgrade doesn't work.
Don't remove factory applications, freeze/disable them!!!!!
Removing them will remove the ability to upgrade until the OS is back to stock.
The installer checks to make sure that the system and application area is untouched.

hey all, as the title states. cwm 6.0.3.3 is now available to flash through rom manager. just flashed a few new zip's and did a backup and restore without issues. I thought I would create this topic due to the fact there are so many questions floating around about different and stable recovery's for this model. happy flashing!
Thx.
Used SGS4 Flasher to flash it.
Everything works.

Available through rom manager? Bull. I get the "blah blah unsupported blah blah" message.
Downloaded manually from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
It shows 'ClockworkMod 6.0.3.3' (after restart) and it works.
Hi,
I just bought ClockworkMod ROM Manger in the google store, simply to support the great work done.
But now I'm a little disapointed, the 6.0.3.3. supported for my I9505 is not in there, even if it is an official release (not as touch nor normal)
and
I can not find things like the cyanogen mod stuff in the ROMs area like I was used to even in the freeware for my former I9100 before.
Is the support/update within this tool so slow or even have you stopped updating the content of the ROM Manager?!
As I said I'm a bit disapointed now!
Around 5€ for that is a bit much then, isn't it?!
CWM touch you can get for free in here and the reboot to download/recovery can be set by a menue update which can be flushed.
So whats the tool then good for and worth 5€?!

[Q] i9505 restore bloatware for OTA lollipop 5.0

Hi, this is my first actual post. I have searched and can't see this query anywhere else.
Ok I'll try to make this as clear as possible, I have read Lollipop 5.0 has been released in the UK for the i9505 and I want to update OTA (which would be when xPosed framework is compatible) but I have a couple problems. I am rooted and I find out now that you can't do OTA if you have previously deleted the bloatware that came with the phone which I have done. Process I have come up with:
1) Use Titanium Backup to backup ALL apps to SD
2) Restore the bloatware by flashing stock Android 4.2.2 firmware to go back to original (can't remember my deleted apps and factory reset won't restore them)
3) Carry out OTA (using CF-autoroot or SU survival mode to keep root)
4) Restore Titanium backups from SD
My questions:
1) Is that process correct?
2) Would flashing the stock rom get rid of my Custom Recovery? Or anything on my external SD?
3) Do I need to unlock bootloader? How do I know if mine is already unlocked or not?
4) Possibly any way to keep my apps layout on homepage?
Extra info: I don't want to get CM, since I had CM11 and didn't like it, prefer the stock touchwiz and custom ROMs have too many bugs.
Would really appreciate any direction on this issue.
Phone info:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S4
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband version: I9505XXUBMGA
Anyone? :good:
Here is the way
1. Backup using helium app
2. Unroot using SuperSU app (in the setting there is a option)
3. Download stock ROM from sammoble (choose the proper one)
4. Flash it using odin (u need to have stock recovery & bootloader status dosenr matter until u r stock)
5. Before flashing do a hard reset.just to be safe
6. Restore ur app d data using helium(this time u will need a pc)
7. Check for update from settings.
8. & to save ur launcher (touchwiz) there is option in helium
The reason why I don't suggest to keep root cuz at the moment lollipop will run into issues if rooted..later on after u r done with updating u can try rooting.make sure to backup SD just in case something goes wrong
WARNING I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG CUZ ITS U WHO IS DOING NOT ME....well it won't go wrong is u do properly..

Here is the way
1. Backup using helium app
2. Unroot using SuperSU app (in the setting there is a option)
3. Download stock ROM from sammoble (choose the proper one)
4. Flash it using odin (u need to have stock recovery & bootloader status dosenr matter until u r stock)
5. Before flashing do a hard reset.just to be safe
6. Restore ur app d data using helium(this time u will need a pc)
7. Check for update from settings.

Thanks for the reply. Checked out helium app on google play and around the internet, many people are having issues with restoring backups, I'll give it a try while I have a nandroid backup just to see how it works.
Sorry I didn't understand what you meant in the brackets for number 4, can you please elaborate?
Lollipop needs to fix itself! Root is most important for me, I'll update when Xposed is compatible on Lollipop hopefully the root issue will be fixed by then.
It dosent matter what is ur boot loader status,locked or unlocked...if u r flashing a official ROM boot loader status dosent matter.d for flashing a stock rom u need a stock recovery....d for helium if restoring dosent work I move the files manually
Good luck in future :thumbup:

Oh ok gotcha! Hmm since I'll wait until root works I think I might just Titanium Backup since I have the Pro version, might as well use it You say I need a stock recovery, would that appear automatically when flashing the stock rom and get rid of my CWM recovery or is there a certain process to be done in order to get that recovery? (I think it's the former option but just checking Thanksss

Not bad then. Performance and UI is what interests me. The UI looks way better

It's been around 2 weeks since i first started using a custom rom. It's worth to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353
It's running stable and with good battery life.
Give it a try

Please, follow the instructions in this thread:

I can download the latest official firmware at sammobile.com, look for firmwares, and search your device specific rom/carrier.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
Just checked in YouTube the difference between the Google edition and original and the original is much better in my opinion. The main thing is I don't want to lose all the camera features it comes with. And I can't seem to find stock lollipop for the original S4 on Sammobile, have to navigate with my phone since laptop is bust. I'll give it a quick look again.
