[GT-P6200] Official ICS 4.0.4 firmware (Nov 2012) [STOCK/UNROOTED]

Just saw the heat on the GT-P6210 UK firmware release and checked on Samfirmware.
Flashed this using Mobile ODIN directly OVER the KL3 deodexed firmware, no major issues so far (unable to set voicemail number).
All settings/prefs/apps preserved

** UPDATE **
Brand new UK P6200 firmware available dated November 2012
PDA: P6200XXLQ7
CSC: P6200XEULP1

Same as previous. I flashed this directly over my previous firmware using Mobile Odin Pro. I had to flash SuperSU binaries afterwards to gain proper root access.

Root is easy for this firmware!
When flashing via Mobile Odin, clear the flash for recovery image (i.e. do not flash recovery)
Then flash SuperSU afterwards via recovery

how much it take time, i flash with mobile odin about 20 minute ago and my tab still on samsung logo !

It should take up to 7 minutes to complete the process, including boot up.

Took mine around 5 minutes to flash, then another few mins to get to the "upgrading screen" (which is simply android creating the relevant dexes).

Should be no issues. I *would* flash the CWM recovery tho.

Uhm, for some strange reason none of my 2 PCs is able to see P6200 while in recovery mode. Everything is working fine if I connect my GS3 to those PCs. Any clue?

Try using Mobile Odin ;-)
It has worked pretty well for me.
Edit : I had a stock ROM / RECOVERY / ... Only rooted my device.

i'm mirroring the ICS Austria Firmware on media fire. Feel free to download.

you need to use pc + odin to flash this firmware. it doesn't require external sdcard. it is different when you flashing custom ROM, you need external sdcard to put the zip file.

Yes it will install custom recovery on your phone and you can install custom roms (if there are any good ROMS out there which are better then stock).
But I wouldnt suggest trying any other ROMS for 3 reasons;
1. The bootloader of a lot of the Sky-850 variants are locked so you might brick your phone by trying to install another rom (I did once took me a good 5 hours to bring it back to life)
2. They are all in Chinese and Vietnamese so you can accidentally flash a wrong ROM without Knowing the right one.
3. None of these ROMS out there are any better then the stock one, not even close so you better stick to the Stock ROM.

I've got an A850S, and the only reason why im looking for a custom ROM is for the SMS fix, I'm using the phone outside korea you see. I'm actually looking for a modded stock rom for the SMS fix, or like a patch i can install for the sms fix, but haven't found any yet.

I also have the S version, Just Install Go SMS or Pansi SMS from the market. You will be good to go.
You can also root the device using the method above and freeze the stock messaging app (which I would not recommend for you).
So the best way is Install a good messaging app from the market and hide your stock messaging app using the hide feature in the app drawer.

I know what you mean by freezing the stock messaging app, thing is, if i use go sms or whatever sms app, im able to send messages with 160 characters fine, but anything more than that, it says unable to send message at this time, please wait until the service becomes available. I can set handcent to break the message into 2 separate ones, but id like it to be just one message if you know what i mean. (sorry kinda OC)

You need a custom recovery like 4EXTrecovery to flash your rom, it will not work with stock recovery.

[Q] Need help, Can't get to CWM recovery

Hey ppl
i followed these steps : " From this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/general/guide-to-running-android-lollipop-t3041413 "
1. Download the latest version of CM12 or any other lollipop rom along with the Gapps package. I recommend that you use this (use 5.0x for CM12). Download Thunderzap 4.1 as well. (Don't ask why, but make sure you have this in your computer.) Place the ROM and gapps zip files in your SD card or internal storage.
2. The best way to install any custom ROM is to flash them coming from a stock rom. (Skip this step if you're already on stock 1.17) So if you're not on stock, go ahead and grab an FTF from my thread. (Latest version 1.17 - recommended) Flash the stock rom. If you don't know how to do that use this guide as a reference. Do NOT exclude anything.
3. Now you need to flash a custom kernel. To do this, locate and extract the thunderzap 4.1.zip you downloaded earlier on your computer. Then pull out (or copy it somewhere else) the bootjbcwm.img file. You'll need to flash this file via fastboot. If you know how to do that, skip the next step and proceed to step 5.
4. Power off your phone. Open flashtool and select the flash icon. Now hold the volume up button and plug in your Xperia L to your computer via USB. Select fastboot mode. Under "By DoomLoRD", select the option, "select kernel to flash". Now right above the open button you should see an arrow where it says *.sin. Select that and choose *.img. Locate the bootjbcwm.img file and select it. In a matter of seconds the kernel should be successfully flashed. Now turn on your phone, and hold the volume up button when the LED lights up. You have now entered CWM recovery.
but at the end i tried " holding the volume up button " and it gives me light but it doesn't open CWM recovery, then mobile open normally, any help plz
Thnx.
Solved, Thnx anyway ^^

some users report a password prompt while in Twrp, just press "cancel" then go to twrp home screen , WIPE-FORMAT DATA, after formatting data , go back to twrp home screen -REBOOT-RECOVERY , after that flash the root file (make sure your root file is on an external sd card .

Just followed instructions word by word and successfully rooted my Asus Max SD 615 !

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

There aren't any custom roms available till now.Try using xposed modules for improved functionality(serves the purpose of custom rom to great extent).

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.

Place the root file on an external sd card.

Thank for your fast reply. By following your steps, I was successful in rooting the phone but when rebooting back to home screen, the black screen's still there.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.

Need stock boot.img
I require the stock boot.img so if anyone is kind enough to upload it, ill be greatful. Or if anyone knows how to extract it from the raw image, that'd also be appreciated.

Download the official firmware from Asus website and unpack the zip file, and you'll see the boot.img file there.
