[Q] GT-P5100 OTA to JB - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I have P5100, PDA P5100XXBLH4, CSC P5100XXBLH3, stock 4.0.4, no root, stock recovery. Can i use German OTA leak (needed PDA P5100XXBLH4 Final PDA P5100XXCLI3) zip from samsmobile to update my tab?

There are guides in the dev section to do this.

But I dont want to root my phone, as well as i dont want CWM recovery, i want it to be stock, and wonder if can I can use this OTA zip update and flash it via stock recovery

so i tried to simply use OTA update zip from samsfirmware, and i got this error:
"Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
what does it mean?
after it i reboot tab and ir turns on normally, all fine, version still 4.0.4

It means you need CWM recovery.

thanks, got it. Just one more thing to clear up, my current firmware is for Baltic region SEB 4.0.4 , and this update to 4.1.1 is German OTA, however the PDA code is the same for both P5100XXBLH4. So question is can I root, get cwm and update with OTA zip, or i should first flash German firmware and then proceed with updating?
thanks again!

[Q] JB Update/Upgrade question

Can someone tell me what's the difference between the OTA Update to JB vs. flashing the .zip from the firmware dowload section on the Asus site? The OTA update is a patch I assume, and the .zip is a full ROM image?
Is there an advantage to using one over the other?
Thanks
I'm also curious as to how this is. I downloaded the JB update zip from asus website. Like before I unzipped it and placed in /sdcard . I was notified of an update, I clicked it and it rebooted into my custom recovery instead of flashing it like it did from .26 to .30 . Did I flash CWM (NONTOUCH JB compatible version) just a little to early?

[Q] OTA Update problem

Hello,
I've been trying to flash the OTA update on my n8010, it was rooted and i had cwm recovery. So i reverted back to the stock n8000 recovery (provided by zedomax) and tried to flash it but i always get :
assert failed : get prop("ro.product.device") == "p4notewifiww" // get prop("ro.build.device") == "p4notewifiww"
i think i've got the wrong recovery for my update.zip or something. Is there a solution ? Where can I get the n8010 stock recovery ? Or is there a good custom ROM based on the new update so i can flash it with CWM ?
Thanks.:crying:
Ensure your running stock recovery and use Ota rootkeeper to save/disable root. If that does not work then use kies on windows / mac.

rootkeeper did not work, i guess i'll have to use Kies. Does anyone know where I can find a n8010 stock recovery ?

P3100 Sammobile German JB OTA ?

Hi,
I'm puzzled noone has tried this so I'm thinking for some reason this might be impossible or a bad idea. Looking at sammobile, there are two OTA files which if applied in succession should upgrade 4.0.3 ICS with P3100XXALD4 to 4.1.1 JB with P3100XXCLI5. Both of these are German.
Now some background - as you can imagine I have P3100XXALD4 and I'm noob with Samsung phones...
I have rooted P3100 with CWM. What I wanted to try is:
- Make CWM backup.
- Make Titanium Backup.
- Restore stock recovery using ADB ( BTW where can I find it ? )
- Copy OTA to SD Card, apply it, restart.
- Copy second OTA to SD Card, apply it, restart.
- Root again ( how ? will root for 4.0.4 work for JB ? I suppose not ? )
- Install CWM.
If something goes wrong, I can use backup to revert to original state... I guess - if I manage to flash it again ?
Am I terribly wrong ?
[EDIT] It looks like Mobile Odin pro might do the trick - it can flash OTA and it can preserve root ?
I have the same version, P3100XXALD4 and I've never got any updates via Kies or OTA. I'm starting to belive that flashing is the only way for this firmware...

The German Ota is not a definite release and may have some bugs.
I recommend to flash the latest Vodaphone firmare which works very well.
Backup your data (Titanium) and your rom (nandroid backup with Cwm). Flash the new firmware with mobile Odin (full wipe, ever root and SU enabled).
Enjoy your rooted Jelly Bean. Restore your apps (only user apps is better) and, if you need it again, flash Cwm with mobile Odin.

There is a official 4.1.1 for the P3100 over at SamMobile - (PDA) P3100BUCLK1 (CSC) P3100VFGCLK1. This release is for Slovenia.
I've flashed this using Odin with a full wipe over my 4.0.4 and everything's working without any problem.
Try this out and enjoy the official release.

Help with returning Galaxy Note 10.1 to Stock.

Okay here is the long drawn out story....
Got impatient for JB 4.1.2 to roll out and flashed the German GT-N-8010 4.1.1 onto device....ran great.
Now I want to get my device back to GT-N8013 4.1.2. so here is what I've done.
Flashed via Odin ICS 4.0.4, then rooted installed triangle reset device.
Now first I tried to flash KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCMA3_N8013XARCMA3_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 however everytime I flash it via Odin it fails and I have to go back to 4.0.4 KIES_HOME_N8013UEALI3_N8013XARALI3_1081475_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 Now when I check my status after reflashing 4.0.4 I'm back to custom custom instead of all stock????
So now I tried this....I flashed 4.0.4, rooted, triangled and checked status...all was back to stock. Re-flashed 4.0.4 to kill the root, when I registered for software updates it tells me I'm custom and cannot get updates????
What am I doing wrong? I'm beyond frustrated right now. I have the latest ROM's but I cannot flash via Odin 4.1.2 as it fails everytime. How do I get this done and back to stock running 4.1.2 Please someone guide me like I'm 4

To my knowledge :
0- full reset and wipe cache
1- root your device
2- install samsung galaxy s CSC and use it to change your CSC to your country or the one you want to get updates from
3- triangle away to make sure to rest the counter
4- download the firmware you need again , maybe from another server and make sure it is fully downloaded
5- try it with another version of odin , and make sure to turn kies off ,and make sure you have latest drivers installed .

Why do you need to change the CSC? E.g. I'm using UK stock JB ROM deodexed, does it mean the region has been changed to the UK? Where else can I download the firmware? I'm in Malaysia and can't find the firmware for download.
had the same scenario....german 4.1.1.....i downgraded to the official 4.0.4 (had to wipe cash and restore device during that process as it got stuck at logo)....then rooted, triangle away, all was stock......then waited for ota update.....nd now i have 4.1.2 all stock

[Q] Update Samsung P5100 to 4.2.2 (OFFICIAL) having ClockworkMod

Hi Guys,
Here is my question:
-I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5100, and I upgraded it to 4.1.2 (OFFICIAL) via ODIN, and after I installed the ClockworkMod v. 6.0.2.3 using Rom Manager. I later learned that a friend had been bricked their Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830m with the OTA update to 4.0, and everything seemed to indicate that the culprit was the Clockworkmod that he had installed.. Now, it appeared to me an OTA update alert on my tablet (which should not appear, since the current state of my tablet is "modified") in order to upgrade to 4.2.2.
Well, my question is if I can upgrade my Tablet via OTA even with ClockworkMod, or is it better to update using ODIN...

Um, I think you should do a full backup with ClockworkMod and start experimenting...

because i cant find it on samfirmware yet
from which location is your current 4.1.2 rom?

No, but Sammobile's team is working on it. My current 4.1.2 rom is from Hong Kong and I downloaded it from Sammobile :
AP5100ZSDMB2​CP5100ZSDMA1​CSC5100ZSDMB2​
sadly i think the update you are receiving is P5100ZSDMH1 which is an update to 4.1.2 (not the 4.2.2 update)
i will try the update on my tab i hope i am wrong :fingers-crossed:
