Hi,
I have a P3113.
I want to be able to receive the OTA updates from Samsung, but their OTA update process invokes a reboot into their stock recovery to complete the update. So, if I replace the stock recovery, the official OTA updates wont be able to complete.
But the only way I have seen to "root" a stock ROM was to first replace the stock recovery with CWM recovery, which is need to install a Zip file that does the actual root.
But, once I replace the stock recovery, I will no longer be able to do official OTA updates because they require a stock recovery.
So, what can I do to have a stock ROM and Recovery on my tab, but also be rooted?
If you have the mobile odin pro (paid) and managed to flash stock firmware (the updated one) that you downloaded from www.samfirmware.com (register first) then you will be able to retain root after flashing if you checked the everroot option in mobile odin pro
Or receive the latest firmware via kies then you could root it afterwards ( root the updated firmware)
Or flash the updated firmware from samfirmware via odin pc 1.85 and then root again as usual
As i know no flashable zip to flash to give you the stock recovery
I suggest update via pc odin and forgetting about update via kies
If anytime you want to use kies for update, you could flash first stock firmware via pc odin then update or flash the updated firmware directly then root

Thanks for the info - very helpful.
So am I correct in my understanding here, I can flash stock with mobile Odin, keep my root have stock recovery and then be able to get ota updates without a problem (or use kies to get the update, either way is fine by me).
If I am correct I love you all more and more everyday I come here
Just trying to confirm my understanding

So this is kind of a bump since I am trying to understand if I am correct here. I am still new to all this and want to learn things.
If I use Mobile Odin Pro to flash stock firmware with EverRoot on my P3113, then I can still receive normal updates either via OTA or Kies (which is preferred?). This will keep stock recovery, for the updates, and preserve my root so I can enjoy the benefits.
Does this plan run the risk of bricking on updating? Due to the fact that it is rooted, I thought you can NOT do a regular update (or was that just because of CWM being the recovery?).
What happens when Jelly Bean goes to roll out, will this brick the device since it is a whole new OS? Will this break root and I will need to re-root?
Just trying to understand everything before I make a decision on how I proceed with my device from here. I have never used Mobile Odin, and this is my first rooted device, so I apologize for my questions, but how else will I learn?
Thanks for your time, and your help, and as I said I love you all more and more each time I come around here, since I usually learn something new

Sorry guys it's right there in development.
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.
Posted from my Galaxy Tab with CM10
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!
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.

Can we not have the Tablet UI in 4.1.1 this Phone Interface is horrible.
What gives? I'm using my P5113 and i want to official stock unroot my tab. So what i did was apply triangle away and wipe to stock ICS firmware via mobile odin (which does not raise the flash counter). I would then upgrade to JB firmware OTA and now when i click for updates i get the "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." message. Even if i check about<status it says my device status is custom. This method should "officialize" my tab 2, but what gives? I need it to be Official unrooted stock firmware with no signs of modification. Please help!
Edit:
I once again did the same method but i am now back to ICS stock where i am able to update to JB but i am choosing not to, If i check the status, it now comes up as modified instead of custom. Is there a way to show stock?
Ummm , yeah, stock is stock , get rid of any crapware or root it , it becomes unofficial

Even if i reflashed the official firmware and removing the flash count?
If so is there a way for Samsung to know the warranty is void? The method i follow is said to work from a guide here at XDA.

Are you using Custome Recovery.?
Flash with Stock Recovery. I think it should resolve the issue.

Thats's right if you need back to orginal stock system easiest way is :
- flash it to official stock samsung rom - (best way by odin so it will also put back default recovery program)
- root this stock firmware
- use triangle away to reset flash counter
- flash it once again with odin to stock rom (to unroot it)

I was thinking of doing that but thought it was a dumb idea (i'm always doubting myself). Now that you mentioned im thinking it would work. I'll give it a try and let you know.

This didn't seem to work, i used mobile odin pro to flash to stock again while i had stock recovery. I think it still raises the flash counter. Do you think it would work if i unroot it with super su?
You are still rooted with stock rom? That will be problem. If you flashed with mobile odin pro there was an option to root rom while being flashed if i remember correctly try to untick that option
I can confirm that the Super SU method works. I am now official. Thanks for the help everyone!

Dude,
Follow this procedure.
1 Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM)
2 Root the Device
3 Clear Flash Counter from Triangle Away
4 Do wipe data/factory reset through CWM
5 Install Mobile Odin
6 Extract Stock Recovery (Recovery.img) from Stock Rom.
7: Flash it Stock Recovery from Mobile Odin
This is Pure Stock Rom with Root. You should be able to Update your device with OTA updates

This is exactly what i did multiple times and i made sure it was an unrooted flash vith mobile odin, it still seemed to raise my flash counter by 1.
So instead i did your method but rooted it afterwards and then resetted the flash counter. Later i unrooted the device with super su and wiped data using stock recovery. I am now back to normal.
I flashed my stock unrooted n8010 with the n8000 leak files using odin, I did not used the modem. All good and everything working.
Now I want to get back to stock n8010 jb. When in download mode the device apears like n8000 and odin is not able to flash the stock n8010 firmware.
I installed twrp and rooted, modified buildprop to apear like n8010 and tried to flash a custom rom for n8010, no luck, I get a message that the rom is for n8010 and to try a rom for my device.
How can I trick twrp or odin to make them flash n8010 fw/rom ?
I don't have a nandroid backup,
Edit : I managed to flash 4.0.4 with odin (N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_COA). After the flash it was stuck at samsung logo, I rebooted in recovery (power+volume up, release only power at samsung...) and wiped cache, wiped data and reset. Now the device booted with android 4.0.4 and I'm downloading a 568.29 MB update. I'll see what happends next...
The goal is to get back to stock jb, official (with triangle away I gues)
Edit: I updated to JB, but when in download mode the device is still N8000, so the problem is still not solved.

What version of Odin are you using ?Did you try to remove micro SD and full erase you tablets internal memory card? And why not 4.1.2 you install and not 4.0.4?
Because 4.1.2 gives me error, tried 3 versions of Odin: 3.04, 3.09, and 1.85. Tried 4.1.2 from 3 different sources to avoid a bad download. I can only flash 4.0.4, android shows me n8010 but in download mode is still n8000. I have no idea why, I just can't get rid of the n8000 in download mode.
Maybe I need to flash separate files, just like I did with 4.4.2, bootloader. Ap , csc but I don't know where to get those files for 4.1.2, I only have .tar.md5 files.
I attached a ss with odin eror when trying to flash stock 4.1.2

Did you have success installing the bootloader of the leak kitkat rom? Cause mine failed always, the AP file is the 1 working on me only. I have downloaded this TAR_MD5_PACKAGER here( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42393470&postcount=2 ) that I'm using to repack the stock and using 7zip to extract the content of the .tar.md5 files, maybe you can try repacking it seperately using this 2 program. And try to install it using Odin( I'm using Odin 1.85). By the way you can still install custom 4.1.2 rom's right, specifically for 8010 ? Lastly why do you wanna go back to stock 4.1.2 do you have problem with the leak rom?
P.S. Did you format your internal memory as I suggested? Cause once I install back to 4.1.2 have error before and have to install twice the rom( that is according to my experience which some think its not relate to installing error).maybe you can try to format all from the system to the internal memory via CWM recovery /mount section.Then try to install again and remove the SD card too.
I had no problems with the kit Kat files, flashed at the same time bl, csc and ap (no modem). I used odin 3.09. I managed to get back to 4.1.2 by flashing stock 4.0.4 then using OTA (im surprised it worked) . Someone else flashed directly 4.1.2 with mobile odin and worked, but with odin from pc you get an error.
The problem is that in download mode appears like n8000; hopefully, when official kk for n8010 is out we'll be able to fix that.

The problem is not solved lol. I just gave up for the moment. It's a miracle that I didn't bricked the damn thing today
I'll stay with a 4.1.2 stock n8010 fw that is using an n8000 4.4.2 bootloader. Sexy

Well from everything I've read it seems the problem is that when we flashed the kitkat leak, flashing the bootloader is what allowed us to flash n8000 over our n8010. This could be why when we flash back using odin we get the error cause the bootloader isn't being flashed too so it's trying to flash n8010 onto what it reads as n8000. It seems that there are only a few solutions. 1we need to find a n8010 bootloader file which so far seems to be impossible to find. 2you can flash an original n8010 cmw or twrp back up it will return you to 4.1.2 n8010 but the bootloader will still be n8000. If this option isn't available to you then you can try 3 download a custom rom I have the darkmans customers stock as a backup and it still works going back to simple stock n 8010 but again the bootloader stays as n8000...
Basically until we can get an n8010 bootloader we are stuck with it...
I even rooted the 4.4.2 leak and tried to flash a custom 4.4.2 made for n8010 and did not let me (based on the same leak i think, so the same bootloader) and failed, twrp sees the device as n8000 and did not allowed me to use n8010 rom.

I think I read somewhere that twrp can have issues with flashing 4.4.2 roms it needs to be the most up to date version of twrp... I tried cm 11 before and had to change to Cwm. But I went back to twrp and now it works
I used twrp 2.7, I think it's the latest.
Edit:
I reached a binary counter of 118
I used triangle away and reset it, however I'm still stuck with the n8000 4.4.2 bootloader.
N8000 bootloader
Same issue here, stuck on N8000 bootloader on my GT-N8010. After endless research I still can't find any solution but now the thing is, the official 4.4.2 KK is availble for the GT-8010, you guys think this is the solution, because I have read that though updating to the official Rom (via Odin Mobile) because Odin desktop fails, the device would still be stuck on the annoying N8000 bootloader?
Yes, even if you flash the n8010 4.4.2 with mobile Odin you will still have the damn n8000 bootloader.

Any way of downgrading the Bootloader, I've heard of a nandroid backup but I didn't do that before updating, is it possible to find one on the web?
You need a nandroid from a similar device, is possible but not sure if it will solve the problem.

I thought the official Rom would fix this but visibly no. So we don't have a choice of being stuck with the damn N8000 bootloader?

N8010 on N8000 bootloader
Hi guys, isn't there a solution about this yet? I have the exact same problem with the N8000 bootloader, my device is a N8010 16GB from mexico and flashed the leaked N8000 kk stock rom. I will still look for a solution. TKS to all of you.
Mean time solution
Hi Guys, I found a way to flash te new N8010XXUDNE4 on the stuck n8000 bootlader, the bootloader problem remains, but it is possible to flash the n8010 stock rom via mobile odin, I did it and it's fully working, But I flashed a N8010XXUDNE4 customized without sboot.bin so it can be flashed via PC odin too, I'm still not allowed to post links here cause I'm new in forums so if you want the link to that rom let me know how to provide it to you.
Possible solution?
Have a look at my thread, does that look a viable approach?
