Android 4.1-Jellybean - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys can anyone help me out? I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 from ICS to Jellybean. However, I dont really like Jellybean's interface and want to rollback to ICS. Is there anyway I can do this?
Thanks,
Akshat

You could try to download the ics Odin dump and flash it onto your device. Your post doesn't contain the model number so I couldn't find the specific one for you. (Wifi or wifi +3G)

Wifi+3g

Model No. GT-P3100

You could try downloading a launcher and then finding a similar interface as to the ICS one.

Here is a 4.0.4 (probably)leaked firmware found on xda:

Your device has also an active sub forum in which you can find custom roms and other stuff.

we need insecure kernel ? any one know where get it ?
The first site you linked is crap. All they did is get articles of the S2 and change that term for R.
However, I am cooperating with another person to build an insecure kernel for this device (well, to be fair, he is doing all of the work. I am only providing the info that he needs of the phone and trying out his theories). The thing is that we hope that in a near future we will be able to root the Galaxy R with the file we are making and an app called S2 Root, which allready supports our phone.

Hey Guy's!
Just found that Samfirmware made a firmware 4 the asian version of Samsung Galaxy Z/R....
The Z/R is called Samsung W GT-I9103 @samfirmware's site
But things r starting to happen with our beloved giz.....(mo)
fan vad skönt!
I bought my R two days ago, and I started to worry that...there was practically no information about our device even on official samsung website. I even sent an email to them and asked how it was possible that they sold phones and there wasn't any single picture on their homepage.
I hope they'll root it fast, and we'll get some nice custom roms soon!
Vote for own category for GT-i9103 on xda!
Let's have own category for our device! click on this link and leave a comment in favor for galaxy R/Z. This is how it works!

somebody is developing a root?
Please give a link to a working firmware.
And the instructions for flashing the phone.
I killed the firmware after an unsuccessful attempt to gain root
I'm new to Samsung, have you tried update your phone with Kies?

Yes.
Kies can not connect to the phone.
I expect that you need firmware with Odin.
But there is no firmware file and instructions.
I'm afraid that there are only asian roms on sammobile.com now.
Interestingly it has an English language?

Is it a Galaxy S or a Galaxy S 4G? Either way, I believe you can download Kies Mini from Samsung and get the update that way.

I hope I didn't misunderstand what you were looking to do. The only OTA or Kies update you can get from Samsung is still Froyo. It's the KD1 update.
If you're looking to update it to Gingerbread, there is not an official Samsung release yet. You would have to install one of the many leaked versions or custom ROM found in the Dev section of this forum.
Good luck

To add on, you need to have the bootloaders from a leaked ROM to run GB properly. Afterwards, just root by flashing drhonk's GB kernel and flash your custom ROM through CWM.

There are many guides on the dev forum. Specially look on the Blaze Bible as it gives links to those tutorials..

There is no official firmware for 4.1.2 for the blaze. The last official is 4.0.4. If you haven't done it yet, I would upgrade to 4.0.4 before rooting, but rooting with 2.3 is on there as well. As soon as your rooted, make sure you have the proper recovery flashed for whatever firmware you choose! The Bible is the best place to start! Any questions, let us know!

[Q] Possible to install android kitkat from another country on Galaxy Tab 2 3G?

Hi,
I'm trying to help a friend who has a Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5100 3G 10.1
Her tablet is having some software issues, so I looked in Sammobile and found out that the firmware from her country (Egypt) is only 4.0.4
and for the same tablet in the UK section is 4.2.2
So, my question is, if I install for her a software which is meant for another country, is that gonna be a problem?
If the tablet was 4G, then installing the UK version would be bad idea because the 4G won't work, but it's 3G only as I mentioned.
I also know from my S4 that kitkat comes with special security software + knox of course (I think so!), so downgrading is out of the question, so I don't want to do wrong by her.
The tab is not rooted
Thanks guys for the input!
You should be able to flash an aosp kk rom with no issue as long as its for the p5100

Thank you very much :good:
I forgot to mention that the version for BTU in the UK section is only 4.0.3 and only O2 has 4.2.2
so obviously I chose O2
I'm downloading it as we speak
