[Q] Updating galaxy tab2 10.1 p5113

Forum members:
I recently user rooted my device per the forum excellent instructions but now am unable to to update the firmware for the android OS. When I get the popup notifying me that an upgrade has been downloaded, I go through the drill of rebooting to the Odin screen and then reboot but am then advised that the upgrade failed and something about using Kies. I user rooted the device in anticipation of installing Ubuntu but haven't done it yet. I intended to be able to dual boot depending on what I am working on. I use the android OS most of the time and it works ok but will not upgrade itself. I have searched the posts regarding the inability to upgrade android when the system is rooted but haven't found anything that I understand or that tells me whether or not it is even possible to upgrade the android OS when user rooted. Can anyone answer the question succinctly and if it is possible point me to instructions on how to do it. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

Hi. That's right, you can't make OTA official updates anymore if you rooted the tablet.
You can however download the new firmware version from sammobile (official non-rooted) or some custom version from XDA, then flash it with odin or mobile odin (for official), or CWM (for custom "zip").
Here's a tutorial for Galaxy Note, but it might work for your tablet too - anyway it gives you an idea of how that can be done. The written procedure is here.

going through the same issue...
I am having the same troubles as the person who started this thread. I rooted my samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 from the instructions that I found on this forum. I also installed ClockWork Mod recovery as per the rooting instructions. Now that I am hearing that I will be unable to update to jelly bean (official) because I rooted my device what can i do to work around this problem?
What if we reboot into Clock Work Mod recovery and use the option to restore device to stock firmware? If we did that option it would restore the tablet back to its factory resetting and then could we upgrade to Jelly Bean using the "software update" option?
Or is downloading a firmware from sammobile the best option?
I am really not sure about what to do next...
Hope to hear some kind of response on what to do next...

You can get JB stock from sammobile and flash it with odin. Or you can get a custom JB rom from xda and flash it with cwm. There's nothing complicated about upgrading, both ways are good. I would pick the second one, this way you stay rooted.

[Q] GT-N8010 stuck in logo and won't enter recovery

Hi folks,
I've seen other threads where people report similar but perhaps not quite the same issue I am having with my GT-N8010. For context, I installed 4.4.2 a while ago (February?). This was one of the Omni nightlies, omni-4.4.2-20140210. In preparation for this I had installed twrp-2.6.3.1-n8000. All was well and I much enjoyed kitkat until a few weeks came back from a trip and noticed the device had run out of juice. Connected it to the charger and then...
Symptoms:
* Seems to be stuck displaying the Samsung logo
* Download mode works
* When trying to enter recovery (Power+VOL_UP) it briefly shows the Team Win screen logo and then just reboots
Things I've tried:
* Reinstall twrp, using Odin and download mode; Odin succeeds, the device reboots, same symptoms as before
* Install some other recovery (HighOnAndroidv1CWMRecoveryGTN8000), same result; it is as though NOTHING gets flashed???
* Install stock (4.0.4 or 4.1.2, I don't remember) Samsung ROM; Odin succeeds (it takes a few minutes), device reboots but HECK I'm going insane NOTHING has changed, symptoms as before
Please please can one of you ninja dudes help me out as this is such a precious tablet and hopefully not just a brick now .
Among the things I haven't tried, but heard can do wonders, is to re-partition. So if you happen to have a PIT file from your N8010 then would you mind sharing it through a PM please.
Also am currently downloading the "official" 4.4.2 release for the N8000. I've heard this is NOT for the N8010 but as a last resort, I might flash it??
Many thanks in advance for all the help!
Matt

There is a n8010 release of 4.4.2 for your Device. but Do NOT Flash the n8000 rom on it..
I think you should odin the 8010 rom from Sam mobile and you will be ok . If not browse the forum and find a pit file for that device.. also some have reported Issues flashing with latest odin. try i think verson 2.9 ?

Thanks, have just flashed the 8010 4.4.2 stock fw. Symptoms remain. I'd be very grateful for a PIT file as I've waded through the other threads and not too sure about the links to PIT files there. PM, anyone, please please .

I've got the N8010 PIT file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363703
Sadly, this didn't change a thing. I'm still stuck at the Samsung logo, and still cannot enter recovery mode which still briefly shows the TeamWin logo and then reboots.
This N8010 is just over a year old. Bought in Germany, I wonder whether Samsung would repair under warranty. I guess they won't as it's been fiddled with. I've heard about JTAG repairs but something tells me this isn't going to help as I have a feeling that I just can't flash the darn thing. Eeek, faulty flash memory??

Sadly not. Others have reported that having gone with one of the Omni 4.4.2 builds they cannot get the official 4.4.2 release from Samsung installed, at least not with desktop Odin. They do succeed with mobile Odin but yeah, that's not an option here as I don't get past the Samsung logo and no recovery. This is really frustrating.....

Err well I ended up bringing the tablet to a Samsung service store where it was repaired under warranty, free of charge. Dunno what they did to it but it works and has the latest 4.4.2 firmware on it. Glad I have it back.

I have exactly same problem with N8005!... Can't reinstall twrp or any other recovery with Odin. ( "failed")... Can't enter twrp... Can't boot... I guess my tablet decided to suicide.

WiFi is not working...

Hi,
The first is to apologize for the language used, and the length of the text. I am from Spain and my level of English is low, so as it was a fairly long post I used Google Translator and I know that makes it very literal translation ...
I write this post to see if anyone can help me or give some idea ... I explain the problem.
I own for some time ago the Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) . He has always liked to try new ROMs, so far without much trouble, but .... I tempted fate a lot.
At some point, after changing the Recovery and ROM, to test Marshmallow, the WiFi stopped working, which is a problem in a device of this type, you lose a lot of functionality.
I have tried many ROMS, about 10, and none of them work properly. It is true that some seems, makes the attempt, working. But it does not work.
I have also tried different Recoveries (CWRM, TWRP, Stock, HigOnAndroid, ....), and I have not gotten the Tablet WiFi work.
With all these tests, entering DOWNLOAD mode, it indicates that the device model is the Note 10.1 GT-N8000, the model without WiFi. And when you install a ROM, and go to Settings/Info, the system said that the Tablet is the GT-N8000 model.
This has led me to perform multiple tests:
A- Flash several ROMS by Recovey, usually used the TWRP.
B- Change Recovey installed by Odin 3.10
C- The last thing I have tried, is back to the original ROM and Recovery by Odin 3.10
All these attempts, multiple, have thrown me the same result. The WiFi does not work, and continues to indicate that is the model GT-N8000
The questions are:
1 - Is it normal, even the GT-N8013 model DOWNLOAD mode appears as the GT-8000?
2- Is there any way to get back to its original state, GT-N8013, with WiFi?
3- What Recovery would be most appropriate? (I once used the TWRP)
4- What ROM for this Tablet is the most appropriate? (This question is very personal, I've always liked Omega Rom)

What model do you have .

Samsung Galaxy Note (2012) Gt-N8013

Hi, WiFi isn't working because you probabily stay with a older bootloader but with 6.0. When you flashed the MM rom, your tablet at which version of android was? Maybe i think 4.4.x if WiFi doesn't start. You need to update the bootloader into marshmallow or try look on the thread where you found the rom if there are some modem updates. By the way, if you want to get the stock firmware and install it on your tab, first go in sammobile site and download the firmware ( pay attention to version 4g / without 4g ) and then put your device in download mode->connect to odin-> on "PDA" load the firmware you downloaded -> start -> wait 10/12 mimutes and you will have the tablet as you bought for the first time.
And check if the rom is right for your device( because when kernel is different if the device start it can have some issues like WiFi )
Hope i help you

Hi,
Thanks, sorry for delay, I can solve the isue with another Rom

Odin fails at cm.bin while flashing Galaxy J710FN

I was trying to flash Glaxy J710FN with stock ROM using Odin. But it fails at cm.bin and shows 'Complete write operation failed'. Please do help me with this.

I am facing the same issue, I've googled the problem and Its something to do with the wrong baseband version which cannot be downgraded.
I am on supernova ROM and want to switch to complete stock, unroot for warranty.
DId you find any solution?

It has something to do with the USB cable, USB port and the installed driver versions. Update your driver to the latest version. Try using a different USB port, never use a USB hub. And that's it.

Also check whether you're trying to downgrade to a former version of Android which can't be done using Odin. Try getting the latest version of your stock ROM which you can Google yourself.

Thanks for your reply
I tried with different USB port but receiving same error.
Supernova custom ROM is on Android 6 and the firmware that I downloaded are also Android 6
I am completely clueless on how to solve this issue. I've been sitting and researching about this since 2 days now with no luck

You do have a J710FN right. Even though the downloaded one is Android 6 it has got variants as Samsung provides updations frequently. J710FXXU2APK6 is my current basaeband version. If I try to flash an update below this version it shows the same error. So do check your current version and try flashing an update above that.

Hey,
I tried a firmware of SM-J710F instead of SM-J710FN and odin worked.
I got official full stock ROM.
But issue is the boot screen when you first switch on the phone. It is still of the previous custom ROM Supernova. So it appears as "Samsung S8" Because of the custom ROM
Even though I flashed complete firmware through Odin the S8 did not return to stock
I am on complete stock with no root now
How to change the first boot image back to J7?
Thanks in advance

Are you sure you're on J710FN? The problem with the boot image would be that the ROM you're saying stock is a custom one with the S8 boot image. Try wiping all your data including David cache and flash the ROM again. If it's still the same root your phone and change the boot image.

change baseband and firmware

hello
i have a galaxy s6 920F zerofltelgt
i had first a stock rom with android 6 installed on it
so i've install TWRP then a custom rom
