Help Please - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the US note 10.1 n8013. I screwed something up and would like to restore to factory default firmware but I am confused as to what I need to download. I have searched for the fw but I honestly don't know which one to download. Can someone please be kind and send me in the proper direction. Thanks.

As far as I know, there are no unrooted (or rooted) US stock roms available. I could be wrong though.
You could try using the EMERGENCY FIRMWARE RECOVERY in Kies. If you want to factory reset, you can do that on the tablet or in recovery.

How badly did you screw it up? What exacly is wrong? Are you rooted? Cwm recovery?or completely stock?
I also have the US wifi model. I want to root it, but i havent yet

Boot Loop Samsung GT-S6802

Hello,
I know this problem it's nothing new. I try to explain my problem anyway because I couldn't find a solution yet.
I try to root my Samsung GT-S6802 but when I reboot the boot screen won't disappear. I find on XDA I have to use Odin, but it's hard to find the original rom, it's okay if I use a different one? Please suggest me a rom, because I'm pretty newbie at this.
Thanks.

The only thing i found for this phone besides root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759284 ) witch worked perfect for me, is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1832071 just that this is indian firmware
It sounds like you have a soft brick. Maybe you should try flashing your stock firmware back using flashtool. this will make your device normal again.
Keep in mind that new roms on first boot will take longer to boot up than usual. 10-15 minutes.
I have created a guide for the x8 about getting out of a soft brick HERE
Even though it isn't the same phone, try it.
Please thank me if you appreciate my effort to help.
Try to odin maybe helps.
i think is better to go to the store where you bought it and ask for a new phone or service couse it should be free.... beeing a new phone

[Q] What is the safest way to Wipe/Factory Reset but still retain Stock Recovery?

I want to give my brother my Singapore XSP 7.7, one benefit of XSP is OTA upgrades in the event of a future Jelly Bean release. Technically he is not up to the jumping through hoops that most of us take for granted as part and parcel of Android ownership.
I understand that there are considerable and probably unacceptable risks involved in performing a factory reset via either the device itself or via the Android Stock Recovery.
The preferred method seems to be Root/CWM/Wipe.
The problem with this as I understand it, is that OTA will not complete if a custom Recovery is detected.
Is it possible to revert to Android Stock Recovery once CWM has been flashed?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes, it is possible.
If I have time tomorrow I'll whip up a flashable zip to flash android stock recovery from CWM. I can only test on my P6810, but should only need to check the updater-script for the correct partition Dev/block for P6800 model.
I have done this for my SGS 3, so method is proven.
Which model?

NEVER tick re-partition unless you have a correct PIT file. Many Samsung Users that have no idea have bricked their devices this way........
The OP had never indicated he wanted to also lose root, so using Odin will certainly do that.........

Although untested on my device (P6810), this should work for P6800. After flash, reboot recovery to see the change.
If you want to remove root, SuperUser app & BusyBox - flash the Uninstaller immediately BEFORE the stock recovery.
This process will take just a couple of seconds
You can test with this excellent app: Root Validator
No problem, sometimes it's nice to go that extra step when (trying) to be helpful
Let us know how you went.
Cheers,

I live in London and my brother in Dublin so my ability to help him troubleshoot is restricted.
My intention is to give him as trouble free an experience as possible. To that end then removing Root is probably prudent. So, thank you again.

Thank you for the suggestion but, on account of my basic knowledge level, messing with partitions scares me.
I don't know what your ps means but I assume it is not intended for me.

In preparation, I decided to re-flash with the stock ROM so as to have the o/s like new. I used Mobile Odin Pro for this.
It was beyond my expectation but Mobile Odin Pro also reverted the Recovery to Stock 3e. Leaving just the UnRoot to be done. There are a few Root dependent apps that I want to check out beforehand.
I have archived your files and this will allow me greater freedom for future mods. Not just for my brother's 7.7 but also my own.
The fact that I can change to CWM Recovery and also obtain Root and then return to Stock is very liberating.
Thanks for the heads up on Root Validator.

[DUMP] JDQ39.I337UCUAMDB from Samsung Kies

I have gone through the method outlined in other various threads to get a dump of the AT&T stock firmware from Samsung Kies.
I do not know whether this can be flashed to our phones via ODIN. Others seem to think so [here] but I have not tried it, nor will I.
I do not know whether this can be used to do anything to a bricked phone. Perhaps someone with a brick can try using it.
I am posting this here for reference. Perhaps a developer can use it.
LINK:
https://truck.it/p/BWq0ndiAqI
EDIT: I was able to successfully flash this via ODIN!
Looks like it is also getting uploaded on samfirmware. I'll leave this link up as well.

ITs a very big problem. It sounds like you have fallen into a temporal anomaly. I suggest you hit warp 9.9 and slingshot back to our time frame , where stock is 4.1.2.
THen tell us what you installed to invoke the temporal anomaly and maybe we can help.

OK there isn't a 4.2.2 firmware available yet for this phone unless you have the international version of the device. If that's the case then you are in the wrong thread.
I used to feel sorry for those that flashed an international rom on the Verizon model of the s3 but after seeing all the threads from people doing it I just laugh now and wonder when they will learn to read the device titles.

He might have installed CM or AOKP. In any case b4 you start flashing ROMs on your phone you should know which carrier you are with and what is your phone model, there are 5-6 different models. Each carrier has his model plus the euro I-9300. Then flash the appropriate rom for the phone or carrier, also have backups of the stock ROMs for ODIN if anything like this happens again. And PLEASE read and read and read b4 you flash again.

First, make sure you have the correct Model. Is your tab a P6200 or P6210? Then get a full ROM of Samsung OEM Firmware with the PIT file and flash with Odin and makes sure to check use PIT file. When going between major revisions like ICS to JB the partitions sometimes change . Also hopefully you didn;t do a system reset (clear) from stock ICS, because there was a potentially fatal brick bug in that version. It's ok to use other country ROMs assuming on the P6200 the radio section works for your cell provider.

If it will still charge and boot into download mode, it may not be bricked, it might be that the partitions are just messed up. Worth a try to re-partition with a .pit if so.

Solution....
Relax...if you've searched around....the same thing happened to me and my 6200L. Everything failed except HC....until a fellow member told me to try something and it works like a charm.
For some reason, my 6200L, and many out there, arent too friendly with ODIN, i had tried all sorts of firmwares, PIT and all, but the solution was simple and easy:
Mobile ODIN.
In a memory card, copy the firmware you want, in my case I put the latest 4.1.2 for the 6200L. I flashed HC using ODIN, and then downloaded Mobile ODIN. From there I selected the image for the 4.1.2, and voila. Problem solved.
Hope this helps,
Paul
