2 or 3 weeks!? NOOOOOOOOOOO! So I guess I learned a valuable lesson... lol... :silly:. Thanks for finding that out. There has to be someone on here with the same phone as us who can extract the rom faster than that... hopefully.

Just finished uploading stock rom (unrooted/untouched) into my 4shared. Please find these files useful in restoring your device:
1) MT6577 scatter for n8000+
2) original uboot.img
3) original boot.img
4) original recovery.img
5) original system.img
6) original logo.img
Remember to extract and put into same directory/folder before loading the scatter file via SP Flash tool (or need to select manually if load scatter without files in same directory/folder)

NOTE : The original rom doesn't wake up the phone when press home button. Need to root and edit mtk-kpd.kl file to make home button wake up.
UPDATE : Some people are having problem to root the device. Here is my copy of pre-rooted system.img
I only root it from the original and nothing more. Only for N8000+, please do not use on other model. I will not be responsible if you brick your device by flashing into other model.
No mod recovery yet because my current mod recovery will boot loop after factory reset from Backup & reset setting.

For me:-
- After ROOT your phone use "Root Browser"(it's free) to go to the folder: system/usr/keylayout,
- Open file "mtk-kpd.kl" in text mode with any text editor
- move to the line: "key 102 HOME" and add " WAKE" (without quote) at the end of this line
- press "Save icon" to Save Changes.
- Shut down and then restart.
I have done it with my S3-clone (e1901_v77_jbl1_notv) and hope it also work with other model

Does any one know how to root this device??

@aze2learn Could you send me the complete stock rom for N8000+? I need all IMG files, including "preloader, dsp_bl, cache, ebr1...".
I hope your answer. Thank you very much!

The reason why I don't share preloader and dsp_bl because some people are 'brilliant' enough to brick their phone WITHOUT reading and knowing anything by simply flashing every single rom found for the similar model. Wrong uboot is enough to brick a phone but still can be repair by trial and error using MDT ... a wrong preloader will render a phone useless and even TP (testpoint) sometimes won't help. As I understand, some model won't allow preloader flashing with/without TP.
cache.img is not important in reviving dead phone because it has nothing in it. ebr1 is in my previous post. Please contact me through PM if you really need these files and mention the reason why. Have a brick N8000+ do you?
I don't have a 'complete' stock rom. I have a BACKUP from my own phone. Please understand the difference.
ps : the original backup was lost when my 500gb hdd crashed 2 months ago .. the only rom backup I have now is all inside the phone itself.

Root Qmobile A2 V3

Hey and Salam everybody,
important note: i am taking no responsibility if your phone dies or what so ever. do wipe reset your phone through stock recovery before proceeding. only use the softwares i provided. and also only email me if you run into problems using the softwares i provided. and please wipe data reset ur phone before proceeding. all the softwares are in my dropbox
This is my first ever post so make sure if you get your problem solved i would very much appreciate that you help others too.
All the credit goes to rua1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5119815)
I bought the phone a month back and spent 3 weeks trying to root this MTK6575 Chipset.
You can only root this phone through test point from PMT method. Google test point and pmt for more information.
Attached a pic showing a test point cable . people having knowledge of modding 360 will know what a pmt is. its pogo mo thoin. but for phone its bit different.
first of all turn your phone on and connect it to mtkdroidtools and then make scatter of it. and save it for future use . picture attach. clik blocks map and then click create scatter.
its better to go into stock recovery and wipe data reset and wipe cache. take your sim cards out and your memory card. you dont need them.
my phone details.
Model Number : A2
Android version : 2.3.6
Baseband Version: MAUI.11AMD.W11.50.SP.V14.P2, 2012/09/07 10:26
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #1 Thu Oct 11 13:41:54 HKT 2012
Build Number : ALPS.GB2.MP.v2.2
Custom Build Version : S8035S_PP_F1_PK_1.06_V3
Files you need:
1 Drivers For MTK6575 - Qmobile A2 V3
2 Google ADB Latest
3 MTK Droid Tools
4 Smart Phone Flash Tools
5 Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed
you can find all these files in my dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3wjle4gfu9ekc2x/2Y2f1yuZlE
install drivers for mtk6575
open flash tools and select scatter loading. select the scatter MT6575_Android_scatter that was made earlier and click ok. go to second tab in flash tools. now your in read back tab. click add. save the file titled rom_1 in the extracted mkt droid tools folder. then select hex and read page only . in start address write 0x0000000000000000 and in length 0x10da0000 < this is the address of cache in scatter and your might be different depending on the date you bought the phone.
click ok
now click read back plug in the usb cable with no battery in and just touch the needle with the test point in pic. it will start reading back. once it completes it will give you green circle.
now go to mtkdroidtools and open mtkdroidtools.exe turn on your phone normally and let the tools detect the phone. once it detects you will see different information on main screen. now goto second tab (root, backup, recovery) and click " to process file ROM_ from flash tool" at this point locate the file rom_1 you just saved in rom folder of extracted mtk droid tools. once you give it the location it will start processing. it will ask you if you want it to automatically make cwm ? click yes once the process gets complete you will have multiple files in
\MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
your folder name will be different depending on date and time.
inside the folder you will have lots of files. the file you need to flash will be A2_121030__recovery_130415-104113 again the numbers at the end of the file depends on your date and time.
now again open spflash tools on the main screen select scatter loading. locate this folder.
\MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
open the scatter and uncheck all boxes . check only one box that says recovery. double click on and find this file.
A2_121030__recovery_130415-104113
its in \MTK Droid Tools\MtkDroidTools\backups\A2_121030_ForFlashtoolFromReadBack_130415-104113
now click download ignore the warning take the battery out insert the usb cable and make sure to touch the test point after u click download . note that from this method ur phone is in bootrom mode. if everything is successfull youll get a green circle.
you might get errors and for that your scatter must be edited for example adding __NODL_ before CACHE in scatter. if that doesnt work then you might have to add __NODL_ before USRDATA and if still ur gettin error well then email me.
now to test recovery press both vol+ and vol- button at the same time and hit power . go into recovery by pressing vol+. and you have cwm on your phone. now the first and most important thing take backup and save it,
its also better to stay into recovery and open mtk droid tools and make bakcup by going into second tab.
after that put Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed on ur sd to flash through cwm
now flash superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed through cwm
turn on your phone and see if you have superuser on ur home screen
open super user and grant permission and voila your rooted go to info tab and check for updates
thats it your phones rooted.
if i helped you then press thank
in the attachment you can see the cable i made. make yours the same way
UPDATE: SPFT and MTKDROIDTOOLS update versions have been put in dropbox.
again if you encounter pmt layout changed or other errors then email me so i can help you gettin rid of errors with editing the scatter. [email protected]

Code:
[B][COLOR="Red"]I don’t take any responsibility if you brick or damage your
device following any of the steps in this guide.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. You may violate your warranty!
By following this guide you agree to this conditions![/COLOR][/B]

POST #1:
I. How to Root / Backup your CAT B15
II. Enable init.d support (only for rooted devices)
III. Swap Phone Storage with SDCard (only for rooted devices)
IV. Entering the service menu
V. Changing the maximum output volume of the headphone output
VI. Enabling A-GPS and EPO
POST #2:
I. How to flash
II. Legend
III. Firmware links
I. Backup and Root:
Method 1: just for ROOT - Works with all version till now (1.041.0):
I recommend doing a FULL backup before rooting. Check method 2 for backup details!
Update your Android to the latest version
Install Framaroot. For more details see this thread.
Method 2
Prerequisites: Update your phone to the latest version. Download all the tools and drivers for the steps below from here.
1. Only for Windows Vista, 7 and 8: Disable driver signature enforcement (allows you to install the unsigned drivers). This is a very important step. Search google for your windows version!
2. On the phone go to Settings->Developer Options and Enable (put a tick on) USB debugging
3. Connect your phone to the PC and wait until the ADB driver installs automatically. If it fails manually install it from device manager->update driver and select the driver from the “ADB_driver” folder.
Then install the drivers from “MT6577 USB VCOM drivers” folder. Windows will tell you that it cannot verify the publisher of the driver. Select Install this driver software anyway on all the dialogs.
4. Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools”. The device should be detected in about 20 seconds. If it fails go step 1.
Once the phone is detected (picture 1) select Block Maps. Make a screenshot of the Block Maps screen and click on the Create scatter file button. Save the file in a safe place.
5. Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder.
In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created with MTKdroidTools. Then go to the Read back tab. Delete all the entries if any are present.
The click the add button, this creates a blank entry. Double click on the blank entry. You will be asked where to save the file and then to enter the Start Address and Length select Read Method to be Read Page Only.
You find out the values from the screenshot you made before. I created a Sizes.txt file to help you out with the formatting – CHECK if the sizes and start addresses are the same for you!!!!!!!
It’s recommended to add all the partitions (making a full backup) but you can just add recovery.img and boot.img
Turn off your phone. Unplug it from the computer. Remove the battery. Press Read Back button. Holding the Volume Up and Power button together plug the cable to the phone and computer. Once you see a progress in the SP Flash Tool you can release the buttons.
You will see a green circle the progress is complete (Recovery and Boot read back will take few seconds, full backup will take around an hour). Unplug your phone. Make an archive of the backed up files (zip/rar/7zip) so that the files don’t get modified by mistake.
6. Power on the phone. Connect to PC. Adb should be enabled.
Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab and click “Recovery and Boot” button. Select the boot.img from previous step, you will be asked to make a CWM recovery automatically – choose NO and select the recovery.img from the previous step. If it asks to install created recovery to phone choose NO. Close the program.
7. Power off the phone. Disconnect the cable and remove the battery.
Execute Flash_tool.exe from “SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119” folder. In the download tab click on the Scatter-loading button and load the scatter file created in step 4.
Leave the checkboxes on BOOTIMG and RECOVERY. Double click on them and select the modified boot.img and recovery.img (they are located in Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools\recovery). Press the Download button, when a message appears saying that not all images are not loaded correctly press YES.
Holding the Volume Up button and Power button simultaneously plug the USB cable.
After the green circle appears remove the cable.
8. Power on the phone. Connect to PC, Execute MTKdroidTools.exe from “Mtk_Android2.4.3\MtkDroidTools” and wait for the phone to be recognized, in the root, backup, recovery tab the “SuperUser”, “Build.prop” and “Delete china” buttons should be active. Press the “SuperUser” button. Now your phone is rooted.
9. Repeat step 7 but use the files from step 5 (unmodified boot.img and recovery.img).
NOTES: Doing a backup doesn’t violate your warranty. Having a backup is a must. OTA firmware updates checks if some of the system files are modified (build.prop and others take a look at the update-script for details). No not integrate update of system apps to rom (using Titanium backup or similar). If you cannot update OTA the use the backup from step 5 to restore your original firmware.
II. Enable init.d support (only for rooted devices):
Install init.d toggler from Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.broodplank.initdtoggler
Note: If someone managed to get init.d support manually please post the steps so I can add it as an alternative method.
III. Swap Phone Storage with SDCard (only for rooted devices):
1. Make a backup (apps, media, contacts)
2. Do a factory reset
3. Using a root explorer (ES File Browser, Root Explorer or other) go to folder /system/etc

WARNING: NEVER remove the SDCARD while the phone is running!!!! Never power on the phone without an SDCARD!!!!
IV. Entering the service menu:
Open the dialer (where you dial phone numbers) and enter:
*#*#3646633#*#*
V. Changing the maximum output volume of the headphone output:
1. Enter the service menu (chapter IV. In this guide)
2. Select the Hardware Testing tab and navigate to Audio -> Headset mode
3. Select Level: Level 6 and change the Max Vol. field to the desired value and press the Set button. I recommend a maximum value of 150 (the absolute maximum is 160).
You can also edit the loudspeaker volume (from LoudSpeaker Mode) or the phone volume (from Normal Mode).
VI. Enabling A-GPS and EPO
A) Easy method: Settings -> Location access click on GPS satellites (the text NOT the ON/Off button).
Enable A-GPS/EPO.|
B) Service menu method: Enter service menu -> Location -> Location Based Service
Here you have the AGPS and EPO tabs – use the enable checkboxes

Please upload your phone backups and post links in this thread:
I. Flashing firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Check chapter I of previous post for tools link.
II. Flashing pretty much the same as step 7 of chapter I in first post. You load the scatter file and then load the files if they are not loaded (double click and pointing to the corresponding file).
I strongly recommend to do a full backup of the phone before flashing! (If you don't already have one)
You need to flash the following files: MBR, EBR1, UBOOT, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, ANDROID (they must be ticked and correct files shoud be loaded).
DO NOT FLASH: PRELOADER, DSP_BL.
You don't need CACHE and USRDATA (if it's not your own backup)
II. Legend:
EMEA = Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Region Code)
DS = Dual Sim
SS = Single Sim
III. Firmware download links:
EMEA DS.1.041.0 Unrooted (Factory/Virgin/Stock) Thanks to Wedee (TESTED) :

Sorry I haven't tested that. I don't want to customize my phone from scratch.
It should be restored but I cannot guarantee that! Write the default values somewhere to be sure!

How do i unroot? I do not able to upgrade anymore

Nice one mate! I for one didn't know about the service menu and I found the headphone volume with high-impedance headphones to be a bit lacking.
One thing to add: improve GPS performance: http://www.gizchina.com/2013/07/23/how-to-fix-poor-gps-on-mediatek-phones/
A-GPS and EPO are disabled by default on some phones -_-
Another thing: you can tweak the camera output to "raw" which apparently gets rid of most compression, and the overzealous noise reductio:
Service menu>camera>raw capture mode: capture mode
Service menu>camera>raw type: pure raw
Currently experimenting with this.
EDIT: camera settings are only honored in the debug camera app.

Could somebody upload EMEA dual sim stock recovery to i.e. dropbox or somewhere else? I am not able to upgrade after root anymore. Tried to flash back original boot and recovery and remover supersu. No lucky :crying:

pubbapubba you have modified some system files that's why your phone fails the update checksum progress.
Sorry I don't have a phone without root, but you can update to the latest version (1.041.0) from the second post of this thread (just uploaded minutes ago) but it's ROOTED.
Flash ONLY the following files: BOOTIMG, RECOVERY, ANDROID, UBOOT, LOGO, SEC_RO!!!

Citruspers, I will add the GPS and other tweaks when I have time to properly describe all the options

Thanks for the detailed guide!
When I am running the flash_tool two things happen...
1. My "Read Flag" column is a check box radio with N/A beside it. Not like what your screen shot shows.
2. I can add the starting and length for each item, but the last errors out saying "[Warning] Read back address is adjusted to 512 byte alignment. For the last item "bmtpool" (I have manually typed the values and also cut and pasted your text file entries. My scatter file has the exact same start and length as your guide.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
EDIT: I tried several times and with changing nothing I now have the Read Flag choices and was able to set page only. I am still getting a Warning on the last item, but the values stuck... am now going to perform the backup and see how it goes.
Ahh... the selecting of the scatter file is the difference. If I load the scatter file first I have no Read Flag choices, if I leave it blank I do. The scatter file changes to EMMC and gets rid of the Read Flag choices.
EDIT: Also just realized I did not upgrade the firmware to 1.41 so am doing that now. (My original CATB15 came with 1.41, this is a replacement brand new out of box and it needed to be upgraded. Will see if that makes any difference.
EDIT: I upgraded firmware and ran it anyway. Was able to root the phone following the steps... Thanks for the guide.. Only thing I saw so far is I would not load the scatter file first in step 5.... as this removes the ability to set the Read Flag choices, although they get overwritten when you do load the scatter file in your screenshot as well.

1. Which method. Famaroot or the tested one?
2. If you want to put the factory version you must have a backup of a factory firmware. I'm waiting for factory (as I call them "virgin" firmwares)
3. You SOULD (not 100% guaranteed) be able to update after root IF you don't modify the build.prop, the framework and library files (in system) and the /system/apps folder. You can add files to system but DO NOT replace, modify system files! Do NOT integrate system app ugrades to system. I'll add the full list of files that SHOULD NOT be modified for the OTA updates to work - when I have time!
EDIT: Unrooted firmware added to second post. It's EMEA DS 1.1041.0. Thanks to Wedee. Please confirm if the firmware works (on DUAL SIM phone It may brick Single Sim)

friend all cat b15 is EMEA???? as if my cat b15 is EMEA?
thanks

Go to Settings -> About phone and Check the build number:
If it Says EMEA_DS.1.1041.00 Than its EMEA region, Dual SIM and the version is 1.1041.0.
I don't know what are the other regions? Maybe there is an version for the Americas?

Please upload your phone backups and post links in this thread:
I. Flashing firmware with SP Flash Tool.
Check chapter I of previous post for tools link.
II. Flashing pretty much the same as step 7 of chapter I in first post. You load the scatter file and then load the files if they are not loaded (double click and pointing to the corresponding file).
I strongly recommend to do a full backup of the phone before flashing! (If you don't already have one)
You need to flash the following files: MBR, EBR1, UBOOT, RECOVERY, SEC_RO, LOGO, ANDROID (they must be ticked and correct files shoud be loaded).
DO NOT FLASH: PRELOADER, DSP_BL.
You don't need CACHE and USRDATA (if it's not your own backup)
II. Legend:
EMEA = Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Region Code)
DS = Dual Sim
SS = Single Sim
III. Firmware download links:
EMEA DS.1.041.0 Unrooted (Factory/Virgin/Stock) Thanks to Wedee (Untested) Should work. Please confirm!:
Original link (zip)
Mirror (I have removed the preloader and dsp_bl but haven't tested this backup):
Zippyshare Part1 (7zip)
Zippyshare Part2 (7zip)
EMEA DS 1.041 Unrooted (Factory/Virgin/Stock) Thanks to tedy_lv (Untested) Should work. Please confirm!:

Method 1: just for ROOT (UNTESTED) - PLEASE CONFIRM IF IT WORKS:

Camera fix?
Hi vinylakos,
maybe you can help me.
I have the THL T100S international version. It is rooted with SuperSU and running stock rom.
Yesterday, when i opened the native camera app, it froze. So i thought i would just restart the app. After that, it immediately showed the error
"Can't connect to Camera". So i thought i would just reboot my phone and everything would be fine again. But when i did that, the camera app completely disappeared from the phone! Maybe you can help me, as it seems that you are quite familiar with the phone.
Thanks in advance! Buster
EDIT: Maybe someone can upload all the camera and gallery APKs that i need? So i can reinstall?

Hi Vinylakos,
thx for your efforts, I found out, that the gallery2.apk is in place and has the correct permissions. Now I suspect, that I compromised the driver of my camera by flashing a firmware that was too new. Now since I don't know which camera is built in my phone, I cannot flash the correct driver.

[Q] Can I Flash my device without any problems with theses steps?

Greetings XDA-members !
I'm a total noob in flashing devices under Android..
I already (by the past) flashed many devices but no one under Android..
In fact I haven't the need for doing it..
BUT now, I'm really disturbed with intepestive reboot (due to some I/O errors in Internal Flash Storage)..
I know this can mean my devices is good for garbage throw.. BUT..
I want try something before.
So for that, I want root it !
Well, I want use this (it seems to me) clear tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957165&highlight=cf+root
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1'', all stock, never rooted, with no custom firmware, with Android JellyBean (not KitKat).

INFORMATIONS:
I must say that I never wiped the data or the cache.
Never format anything.
Never reinstalled the system.
I have already unlocked the USB Debug Mode on my Galaxy Tab 2
I haven't External SD Card (but I can buy one if required!)
Click to expand...

This is the steps I want to do (please tell me if I'll be on the way to doing wrong steps, I don't want brick my devices..):
Create on my Windows a folder called : C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN
Downloading the file Odin3-v1.85.zip and store it to the path: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN
Downloading the file CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110.zip and store it to C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN
Unzip only 1 time the zip CF-Auto-Root-espresso10wifi-espresso10wifixx-gtp5110.zip, so now I end up with a CF-Auto-Root-*.tar.md5 file in the location: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN
Unplug the Galaxy Tab 2 from my PC (if plugged in one USB slot)
Unzip only 1 time the zip Odin3-v1.85.zip, so now I end up with a Odin3-v1.85.exe file in the location: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN
Run on my PC the exe file located here: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN\Odin3-v1.85.exe
In the Odin3 window, I will click on a button which may think like a PDA, and then, a Window Explorer will occur, letting me choose a file
File I will choose to load is located here: C:\SpecialAppDevelopers\AndroidFlasher_GalaxyTab2_ODIN\CF-Auto-Root-*.tar.md5
Boot my Galaxy Tab 2 in DOWNLOAD Mode (this can do it like Recovery mode BUT this time by holding the Volume Down physical button instead of Volume Up).
When the Galaxy Tab 2 is in DOWNLOAD Mode I can plug it to my PC with USB.
If now I see the "Repartition" ticked, I untick this right now!
Next, on the Odin3 software Window, I click on the "START" button to flash with CF-Root
I wait some seconds (30 per example) and then my Galaxy Tab 2 should reboot Android
End.
Now, If you see one step which can be harmful for my Galaxy Tab 2, please tell me
For running commands as root, Will I be able to make this when in recovery mode (on a CommandLine interface through my PC):
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
** at this state, will I be able to acquire the root permissions?? So Will I can run any root command I want run?**
And for finish, three last question...
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause incapacity to login to an existing Google Play account?
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause crash or brick or other things like that when I update my Android Versions from Google Play ?
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause wipe my datas OR NOT ?
THANKS if you answer me ! Really !

Next, on the Odin3 software Window, I click on the "START" button to flash with CF-Root
I wait some seconds (30 per example) and then my Galaxy Tab 2 should reboot Android
End.
Now, If you see one step which can be harmful for my Galaxy Tab 2, please tell me
For running commands as root, Will I be able to make this when in recovery mode (on a CommandLine interface through my PC):
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
su
** at this state, will I be able to acquire the root permissions?? So Will I can run any root command I want run?**
And for finish, three last question...
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause incapacity to login to an existing Google Play account?
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause crash or brick or other things like that when I update my Android Versions from Google Play ?
WILL using Odin + CF-Root cause wipe my datas OR NOT ?
THANKS if you answer me ! Really !

Your method should work, but you will still have stock recovery. Which won't let you flash anything. Following basically the same steps, use the files here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535083 and you'll have custom recovery so you can do whatever you want afterwards. I personally prefer TWRP, but this will get you started properly. If you want to try TWRP you can flash the zip after your done, here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548476

Hey, thanks for answer wolfclan68 !
I don't really understand clearly what are the steps in your given link.
Better explained on the CF-Root page.
You know, I want only be able to run root commands, I'm totally lost in all theses methods...
So... can you answer me in some steps (according to what I wrote on my first thread post) ?
Or at least explain some "points" through a better clearview?
Example:
1) Download "GT-P51XX_XXXX-SuperSU-1.94-BusyBox-1.21.1_universal.tar.zip" and extract it once (you need the *.tar.md5 inside)
> What are the differences betweens each version of recovery?
2) Flash the *.tar.md5 file as PDA
> How? Like the steps [mean: Use ODIN, be in recovery mode on my Galaxy Tab 2, and click on the PDA button in odin window, after selected the right .tar.md5 file ?] I described in my first post?
3) Make sure "Re-Partition" and "F. Reset Time" UNCHECKED,
> I know what is Re-Partition, but, what is F. Reset Time ??
Please answer me:
If I flash my devices in theses steps, will it auto-wipe my data ??? (meaning losing (by formatting) Game saves, Photos, Videos, Screenshots, Game data, Apps, SQLite datas of apps, Games Licenses obtained through third apps like AppGratis, 365 apps ?)
THANKS FOR ANSWERS !

And, this is why you can't simply answer to my questions?
Correct me if I'm wrong but.. We are on a specialized board oriented to flashing, pda, smartphone and development of the technology no?
This is why I prefer ask here instead on Youtube/Google which aren't specialized...
