- Update - Official P5113 Jelly Bean available http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668
Leave the OTA Leak and flash this one, please (much easier too)!!!
After Jellybean OTA leak update for the P3100 the 10.1 version could not stay behind. This OTA update is not yet available to anyone, but the people of SamMobile managed to find a way to get it.
This update requires a base firmware on which it can be flashed upon and have to flash through the stock Samsung Recovery.
You need to be on P5113UEBLH3.
Because the P5110 and P5113 devices are pretty much alike you with your P5110 can flash this as well. Certainly I did!
-update- Thanks to coolypf you can now upgrade your P5110 device with a P5110 build. Go to his thread for further instructions.
-update- SamMobile released Official Jelly Bean for P5110. You will find this here.
Make sure you perform a backup of your data before installing!
How to Root instructions in the second post.
Flash instructions:
1. Make a backup of your data
2. Download the P5113XARCLH OTA Update (Download it from HERE)
3. Copy the OTA update to your External SD Card
4. Download the P5113UEBLH3 base firmware required by the OTA Update (Download it from HERE)
5. Unzip the base firmware file
6. Open Odin (Download it from HERE)
7. Restart the device into download mode (Power and Volume UP/RIGHT)
8. Add the P5113UEBLH3_HOME.tar.md5 file to PDA in Odin
9. Connect your device with your computer and wait until you get a yellow sign in Odin (Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked)
10. Press start and let Odin install the files until the box turn green and your tablet reboot.
11. Restart the device into Recovery Mode (Power and Volume DOWN/LEFT)
12. Select Apply update from External Storage
13. Browse to the OTA update and flash it
14. After the flash perform Wipe Data/Factory Reset!!
15. Reboot your device and you will have Jelly Bean!

If all goes well your ROM is rooted!
So a very first impression.
It feels snappier, but a little buggy too. Not very annoying though.
The boot animation and sound are not simultaneously. (Removed the bootsound system/media/audio/ui/PowerOff.ogg and PowerOn.ogg)
Still in the build (and in the boot options) is the phone process that instantly forecloses. You cannot turn this off in the boot options despite the option is really there.(Deleted CSC.apk)
I guess that I have to remove the apk once I get root access.
Maybe I'll have something to add later on..
Nice animations
excuse me , i wanna to ask if i upgrade to this leak , will my device locked into globe philipines ?
because i have indonesian-XSE version ..
and then , there is english langguage ? because in your screenshot it looks like not english , i don't understand that language
then the tutorial in the first post is for NON ROOT right ? because i don't want to root my device
hope for your response
thanks
I'm not able to update! I'm on a P5110 with a clean installation of the LH3 stock rom from P5113. But when I try to flash the ota update from the external sd it always give me an error 7 or something like that...

Now you can charge your device through USB.

To gain root access you need to perform the 4.0.4 workaround

I guess you could also use this method (from 9.3 on) to root your tablet http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881675 i.e. flashing SuperSU via CWM?

You might have to remove telephony.apk as well but do a nandroid backup first in case it makes it unstable.

i tried it myself and have to say it feels alot better then 4.0.4 but i can't get it rooted and the 3g signal bar is really annoying.
i gonna give at another try when the officiaal JB is released and when the root works. There's to many crap in the Samsung roms i want to remove
but it looks promising
are you sure you have complete root? i've flashed many a rom and cooked a few, not done too much on my tablet
can you install binaries on SuperSU, or use titanium backup and grant it root access? i can't
but if we are qualifying root to mean i have CWM 6, then yes i have root

Finally, after several tests, experiments, and cursing the Rom ANIMUS 1.1.9 and ready
the rom does not want to be the best rom around for our device
ANIMUS was created to give everyone the chance to cook their own rom modding and staff.
the basis of the Rom is 2.3.6 I think the most powerful device for our
Roma is a technically stocks, but lighter, eco additions:
Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread)
zipalign
Busy box
deodex
enabled bash
app2sd enabled
The ROM is significantly lighter than the basic
installation
1.Download the rom
2.mettere the file to the sd of the device
3.disconnect the device from the PC and turn it off
4.Switch in recovery
5.nel recovery menu to wipe ALL
6.go sd card for installation in the menu and scroll to find the file of the Rom
7.lanciare the installation
8.alla end of the recovery procedure to restart the system
this is the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RSVBW3HS
end!
this rom with the kitchen and customizable dsixdia easily ...
tell you guys .. a small step was taken to work. good luck to all the dev!
I do not assume any liability you do so at your own risk
thanks:
scupinatos for availability and kindness
morfes for advice and pazienzaaaaa
qzem ready for answers to any time of night and day

THIS IS THE EUROPEAN FIRMWARE, there is also a asian one but I don't have the time to search for it now. But because you are flashing later anyway the custom firmware this shouldn't make a difference.
Instruction
1. Go into the Download mode as instructed on top. As soon as the screen with the exclamation mark appears hit the Volume up-button. Now you should be in the download mode Connect your device to the Computer.
2. Download this file https://rapidshare.com/files/2528654376/Samsung_Galaxy_W_I8150XXKK1__EUR_.rar
and extract all the files.
3. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe .
4. click on the OPS-Button and select die Ancora.ops file.
5. Set up the settings as followed:
mark the option: One Package, Protect OPS
unmark the option: Auto Reboot, Reset Time (Sec)
6.Click on the One Package-Button and select the downloaded MD5-file.
7. Click on the Start-Button. Flashing takes around 10-15 minutes. and the first start up takes up to 5 min., so please don't panic.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE !!! YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Good luck and good night, it is 3:30AM in Germany ^^.

now i'm trying to flash to stock ROM .
guys I did not put any screenshots just because it's identical to the stock rom
for jayidoans I did it based on this rom Android 2.3.6 European versiione of this device
I do not know if your problem is due to the fact that you have a device with a firmware Asia
but I assure you that Rom and works I tested myself personally.

as i said before, it stuck at boot looping
and anyway, for App2SD mods,
should i have a microSD card installed ? and should i format it as ntfs and ext3 ?

As Chainfire once said: "However, if you put any trust in Quadrant scores you could use them to prove that dancing naked for 5 minutes in your garden affects device performance."
Hi everyone, I post this tutorial in order to help people (like me) want to revert to stock state, including the "famous" flash counter, and Stock Recovery, in order to install update by official methods.
WARNING
I'm not responsible malfunctions, bricks and other by make these actions.
All actions described were tested by me in the same order in a Galaxy Tab 2 Wifi-only P5110
However, it should work on any Galaxy Tab 2 model.
Requeriments:
You have permission of superuser
Recomendations:
Use Titanium Backup in order to backup your apps & apps data
Step 1:
Install Mobile Odin Pro (by Chainfire. XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899)
and Triangule Away (if your counter's valor isn't zero.) (by Chainfire. XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153
Step 2:
Download a stock firmware from your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668
UPDATE. Android 4.0.4 avaible now for P5110: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877286
Step 3 (here start the hard work )
Use Triangule Away in order to reset your counter. You will can observe that counter is zero after the process.
Step 4
Copy your stock firmware (unzipped) into your Internal or External Memory.
Open Mobile Odin. When says "Open File..." select memory where you copied and then select the tar.md5 file (I don't support (I don't know) other files)
After that, you can observe a section called Everroot. You have 2 options:
-Check all options if you want preserve root (recommended, although that isn't a "truly" stock state)
-Uncheck all options. You lose root, but you return a truly stock state. However, if you want return the root state, you probably will have to use Odin PC again, returning to a "non-stock" state. In addition, you probably won't have access to your backup from Titanium Backup when the process finish.
For that reason, I recommend check those options, and, if you must send the device to Samsung service, you can reflash a tar.md5 file via MobileOdin and uncheck those options.
Step 5
Check all wipe options
(for any reason, when I did this, I DIDN'T lose any data, but that is not guaranteed. Backup your apps with Titanium Backup)
Step 6
Tap "Flash firmware" and wait until the process finish. Device will reboot automatically.
Remember, Mobile Odin NOT increase your flash counter!!!
And enjoy your device with stock state!!
Don't forget press the :good:"Thanks button" !!!
It should work on every gtab 2 , nice work.
Yes, it should work or any Galaxy Tab 2.
I really hope someone can help. I have a GT-P5113 and have rooted and put CM10 on it. The touch screen is broken now and I need to send it in for warranty (broken as in not working not shattered or cracked) and need help! I can still use the power and volume buttons so getting the new firmware on it isn't the issue, its resetting the flash counter. PLEASE HELP!!!
I think you need usb otg cable (so cheap) ,then connect usb mouse (better) or keyboard ,then download triangle away 1.90 app from market (paid) or xda forums (free) ,then use to reset counter ,then boot to download mode by long press power then reboot/download (better) or power off then volume down+power ,then connect to computer ,then flash stock firmware from www.samfirmwsre.com or so via odin

You can prove this tutorial using a mouse with a USB OTG cable for Galaxy Tab 2. You can buy it on eBay or other online shops.
ok, so I am waiting for my OTG adapter to get here to try that out and hopefully that works for getting back to stock. Here is my next big question. I am going to try to send this back to samsung for warranty because the touch screen doesn't work and the lcd is very dark along the left side from top to bottom. I was removing dust that somehow got caught between the front glass and the lcd and in doing so i cut the ribbon cable for the digitizer. (lcd was already really dark before hand, that is a factory defect) being that one would have to cut the seal to see that, is that something that samsung would be able to know? I've reassembled the tablet and you would never even know it was apart, i didn't see any void stickers or even watermark stickers. any thoughts?
Anybody? Please?

Even if they find it they probably won't care. This is from experience with Samsung phones and them not really giving a crap. They'll probably send you a refurb with no questions asked. Can't hurt to try, anyways.

It was "stuck" on the boot logo, so I went into recovery and wiped data, and now it seems fine.

The only thing you can do is try sending it in for warranty. Bte, you can just flash the stock rom via Odin using a laptop or desktop. Flashing stock does not increase your counter.

If I only wanted to reset my flash counter but I am running CM10.1 on my GT-P5113, triangle away will work correct? Or would I expect problems after resetting counter? Tab is running perfect, just want to fix counter
Edit: so I got a response for this in the thread for the CM10.1 nightly build and TA is safe for my device/rom combination.. So I ran TA, and after I run, it went from 10 to 0. Perfect, rebooted into DL mode, and it says 1.. Relaunched TA, sure enough, it said 1 again, so I reran, it says 0, but when I reboot, I should expect to see 1 again? (I thought I remembered reading that it would do this, but didn't remember where, I reread this OP)
This is after using TA to reset the flash counter from 10 to 0, notice it says "0" and "Official binary":

This is after only rebooting, nothing else was done, its like a kernel gets flashed on reboot:
I have a jig too, and I just got some converters to "adjust" the USB port configuration.. I'm thinking about plugging in the usb that came with my tab, converting the reg USB (male) to micro USB (female) and then plugging in the jig. The only thing I would need to know though is if the jigs are device dependant and os version dependant.. (After thinking about it, in order to actually use the jig on an E4GT, I have to restore it to EL26 or 29..) So I guess it prolly won't work on a GT-P5113.. :/

It's because you have a custom rom and recovery
It detects that and bumps up the counter to 1

Hi everyone, I post this tutorial in order to help people (like me) want to revert to stock state, including the "famous" flash counter, and Stock Recovery, in order to install update by official methods.
WARNING
I'm not responsible malfunctions, bricks and other by make these actions.
All actions described were tested by me in the same order in a Galaxy Tab 2 Wifi-only P5110
However, it should work on any Galaxy Tab 2 model.
Requeriments:
You have permission of superuser
Recomendations:
Use Titanium Backup in order to backup your apps & apps data
Step 1:
Install Mobile Odin Pro (by Chainfire. XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899)
and Triangule Away (if your counter's valor isn't zero.) (by Chainfire. XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22463153
Step 2:
Download a stock firmware from your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668
UPDATE. Android 4.0.4 avaible now for P5110: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877286
Step 3 (here start the hard work )
Use Triangule Away in order to reset your counter. You will can observe that counter is zero after the process.
Step 4
Copy your stock firmware (unzipped) into your Internal or External Memory.
Open Mobile Odin. When says "Open File..." select memory where you copied and then select the tar.md5 file (I don't support (I don't know) other files)
After that, you can observe a section called Everroot. You have 2 options:
-Check all options if you want preserve root (recommended, although that isn't a "truly" stock state)
-Uncheck all options. You lose root, but you return a truly stock state. However, if you want return the root state, you probably will have to use Odin PC again, returning to a "non-stock" state. In addition, you probably won't have access to your backup from Titanium Backup when the process finish.
For that reason, I recommend check those options, and, if you must send the device to Samsung service, you can reflash a tar.md5 file via MobileOdin and uncheck those options.
Step 5
Check all wipe options
(for any reason, when I did this, I DIDN'T lose any data, but that is not guaranteed. Backup your apps with Titanium Backup)
Step 6
Tap "Flash firmware" and wait until the process finish. Device will reboot automatically.
Remember, Mobile Odin NOT increase your flash counter!!!
And enjoy your device with stock state!!
Don't forget press the :good:"Thanks button" !!!

That's great to restore stock state for P5110.

Hi, i tried to return to stock with your Tutorial (thanks btw) but it didnt work for me. I configured MobileOdin and taped "flash firmware", everything went very fast and the GalaxyTab2 Bootlogo appeared. A few seconds later there is the blue Mobile Odin Logo and on the left side of the screen it says "Wipe.....done flash.....done, kernel....done its too fast to read any word exactly and then: BOP - Samsung Bootlogo again and again mobile odin and again Bootlogo and so on. CWM doesnt work anymore but Odin-Mode (Download-Mode?) still works.
Is it possible to flash the stock rom with Odin PC in Odin-Mode on my tablet? And is it possible that i downlaoded the wrong Stock-Rom? Im from Germany, using a P5110 and downloaded this one: P5110XWALD2 (4.0.3) - Netherlands April 2012 (Official).
pls help if somebody can help
thanks in advance
edit: ok first i'll try the 4.0.4 Stockrom from the first post via Odin on PC, see if it works...
edit2: WORKS! Even if no one helped (no reproach!): thank you guys, i appreciate your work and time you all are spending for ous!! This is the greatest community
Flash count question
frankdrey said:
Just did this successfully on a P5113 with CM10, using Mobile Odin Lite.
It was "stuck" on the boot logo, so I went into recovery and wiped data, and now it seems fine.

I was wondering, and probably a noob question. Does the flash count increase when installing official Samsungs update OTA? Such as from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1?

No...OTA is official...flash official ROM using Odin also will not increase your binary....as long its official..its good to go...cheers...
Done!
I followed the steps, and was able to go from CWM recovery + CM10.1 to full stock.
Only issue was after it flashed, the boot sequence continued (samsung logo) in infinite loop without responding to any key press, off switch etc. Finally I removed the micro-sd card and tried, it rebooted, now it works fine! Had some tense moments..was that step required? when it is on infinite reboot loop, what is the correct way to reset?
Everything works fine or seems to..thanks very much. The counter too showed zero after I reset it. Now when I go to download mode, dont see any counter stat.
BTW, if the Device status message shows NORMAL that means the counter is zero?

I suggest you add a guide on how to flash this if its proven that this does not need xxkpe to start with. This is really great. Flashaholic members will no longer have a hard time doing a clean flash.

thanks.
using xwlf2 as a base (eastern europe), but I guess that will do
I never checked "Phone Bootloader Update" in Odin. Is it necessary for this full DDLF2 ?
Currently I'm using same old DDLF2 over XXKPE method without using "Phone Bootloader Update" option
Please confirm.
yes bootloader no need after froyo
just for froyo upgrade (to GB HONEY ISC JB uses the same bootloader) no need updating this !!!
it is even not recommended to put bootloader because it is often responsible for Brick
Bootloader is the first step in flash, if you have a conflict on your computer
avoid process, samsung kies, adb, antivirus internet security software and others scan stuff before flash !!!
@LoLaTiOn!
That what i thought so and read everywhere but was bit confused about checking that option. Thanks! for confirming
I would like to go back to GB from Jb only because of the battery.
Im currently in Qwerty
can someone post every single step in a noob (me) friendly way,please?
From what i've read:
1) you need odin 1.85 installed on your pc
2)Start the phone while pressing Vol down+home+power to start in download mode (these has to be with the phone connected to the pc via usb cable or you can plug it in later?)
3)Fill every file category with the corresponding file in odin.
4)Check Box Re-Partition Auto Reboot F.Reset Time Phone Bootloader Update
5)Press Start
7)When it says PASS In a green Box wait Till reboot is done ....
8)thee remove usb cable from phone
Am i missing something? devilhell007 says that you dont need the bootloader file? Is this file necessary only with certains roms? which roms would that be?
and finally, i've read that some roms, change the file system of the phone, and returning to stock bricks it, does this method prevents and reverts that?
sorry for the noobish questions, big thanks in advance!
Load all the files as i mentioned... and flash it... than after paas ur done...

I have this phone which has the GB obtained from Samsung web site. I then rooted with J Scott option 2. Since then I dont have messaging. What can I do to get this back? I have an app that I use but not really satisfied with that. Can I go back to Aroyo, or try to download GB again. I tried Kies again, but it doesn;t give me any option to download again. I have read hundreds of pages w/o an answer, followed many links only to have spam loaded to my computer. Thanks for any help.

You can go back to Froyo using GTG's Unbrick. Link in my sig. And then you can get Gingerbread here. I recommend option C. If you prefer Heimdall to Odin, there are links to those packages in the ISET thread.
Thank you. I'll let you know what happens.

If you're on Froyo and root was successful, then you can stay there. Do the second step if you want to move up to Gingerbread.

Follow the instructions in this thread to move up to ICS or JB. Some of the ICS roms and all JB roms (I think) use the MTD file system so make sure you backup your EFS before making the move upward. There are instructions in the linked thread for making an EFS backup. Make sure to read carefully before you attempt anything.
Of course, the first step is to see if you have a custom recovery. It will be your launch pad to sweeter future.

Power down the phone. Then hold Vol+, Vol-, and the Power button when you turn it back on. Once white SAMSUNG comes up, release the power button. This will take you into recovery. At the top, it will tell you which recovery you have: Android 3e (secure) or red CWM (custom).

My instructions were a little unclear the first time around. Try again with the instructions below.
1) Power down the phone
2) Hold Vol+, Vol-, and Power
3) When the white SAMSUNG logo comes up, let go of the Power button only. Continue to hold down Vol+ and Vol-.
This should get you into recovery.

No problem. I'm not sure why the phone won't boot into recovery. I can only speculate but I'm sure there's someone who can shed some light on the issue. If this was my phone, I would flash the UCBL3 Unbrick in Odin b/c it'll re-establish the original partitions, give you GB and root at the cost of losing all the info on your phone. Then you can use flash a custom kernel to get red CWM. From there, you can move on to ICS or JB. Let me know how things turn out.

This video showing how to upgrade to stock 2.3.6 rooted with a custom recovery
This video showing how to upgrade from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4
This video showing how to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 and up
There is also this Super Everything thread from a while ago with links to everything needed to root and install recoveries with instructions. I highly recommend reading ALL OF IT before proceeding as it answers almost any question you could have and then some

Hello guys, with this guide you can restore Stock Firmware Images for all Galaxy Tab 4 Series.
This is useful to restore firmware in case something goes wrong, if you flash a custom ROM and it fails, or, for example, if Samsung decides to update this devices to Lollipop. For this you also will need stock untouched firmware.
Pre-requisites:
1) Make a backup of everything you consider important: Apps, photos, music, etc.
2) Download drivers for your specific device from HERE, install the drivers and reboot your PC to apply changes.
3) Download Odin 3.0.9, it is attached below in this post, and extract it.
4) Download the firmware image for your specific device from HERE and extraxt the file inside, it should be a huge 1GB+ size *.tar.md5 file.
5) Make sure your device's battery is at 60% or more.
6) Enable USB Debugging on Settings > General > Developer Options (If you can't find Developer Options menu, go to Settings > General > About Device and tap several times on Build Number, then it will tell you Dev Options is enabled).
Lets start:
1) Run Odin 3.09 as Administrator (in Windows right click on Odin icon and select "Run as Administrator")
2) Turn off your tablet and now turn it on in Download Mode (press Home + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the tablet turns on, then when prompted, press Volume Up button to proceed)
3) Now connect your tablet to PC via USB cable. Odin should show a plugged device and an ADDED! message, like this:
If you can't get Odin to recognise your device, check which drivers you installed or try another USB cable.
4) Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are selected, like this:
5) Now check the AP option and press the AP button to find and select the firmware image (the *.tar.md5 file you extracted earlier), when you select the image, Odin will check if it has errors. If everything is OK, it should say it succesfully checked it, like this:
6) You are ready to rock, so, hit the START button and wait...
7) Go, watch TV, chat with friends, make a sandwich or play Chess with your cat.
8) Once completed, you will see the Pass! message in ID:COM section, with a green background. Your tablet should auto reboot automatically.
9) Unplug your tablet.
10) Enjoy all the bloatware once again!

Yes, here
Or here if you've got a 7.0
I cannot for the life of me get my tab to stay in download mode while flashing. It makes it as far as a quarter though the system partition then it just reboots back to the "firmware encountered an issue" screen. As far as I know the battery has more than enough if not a full charge!! HEEEEEEELP!!!!

Will restore of stock firmware overwrite custom recovery
Hi... just finally got my Tab 4 8.0 rooted by using custom recovery and special kernel. I love having root, but in the event i have to send the tablet in for any kind of warranty repair, i just want to know if simply ODIN flashing the stock 5.1.1 firmware will restore the stock recovery and reset my knox counter and stuff... Any details greatly appreciated!

It will definitely restore the stock recovery. Idk about resetting the flash counter, my instinct tells me no but that could be wrong. If worst comes to worst and you do have to send it in under warranty, tell them Kies broke it, that's worked for me and a few of my friends even with the knox counter tripped lmao. And if you want the quickest firmware file downloads, check out this thread. About a 5 minute download versus anywhere from 2-8 hours from any other host (seriously, it's awful).
How can I know when the flash is done?
Thank you for this helpful guide. I used this to upgrade my Samsung Tab 4 8.0 from 4.4.2 KitKat to Lollipop 5.1.1.
May I suggest, OP, adding a note on how to know when the flashing is over. I mistakenly thought that all the boxes on the top half (the row that begins with with a green "Pass" box) would all be colored. But the users should know that the flash is over when you see the green Pass box.
Please see my attached screenshot.
thanks for bringing my tablet back to life!
I played chess with my cat.... and lost. Thank you for this, my Tab has been shut away in shame for a while, and I decided to bring it back out again.
