[Q] DOWNGRADE GT P3113 from JB (OTA) to ICS - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I made a mistake..................:crying:
I let one of my tablets (Galaxy Tab2 7.0 P3113) Wi-Fi only do a upgrade to JB from ICS.
Well...............I HATE JB ok, it's way too funky and does not seem to work right (Swype 1.4 keeps popping up saying Not working or something BUT it still works).
Google search for me (IMHO) sucks on JB (with the Samsung UI overlay of course).
So I have been looking, I called Samsung, they said they would re-do my tablet with a 7-10 day turn around to downgrade it (free I guess) if I ship my tablet to them.
OK BUT I would like to see if there is a STOCK Samsung image of ICS rom from the GT P3113 Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 out there that I could get.
I hope I am getting the correct one now but not sure.
Is there a way to just flash the firmware rom from a sd card? The tablet is NOT rooted.
If anyone can help me I app it.

You should be able to flash these with odin.
Edit: but be sure to backup your stuff first as this will factory wipe your tab.

You can flash the firmware yourself using Odin, but this will void your warranty.
Unless if you give it to samsung.

Note 10.1 s pen not working at all

Hey guys, been a long time lurker here and just encountered my first issue, so made an account to hopefully get some advice.
I received the note 10.1 8010 (UK) as a gift for Christmas. I was disappointed to see it was running 4.0, when devices like the Nexus 7 are already on 4.2. And Germany had the 4.1 update for over a month. Samsung as always refuse to give a solid answer.
I followed a guide to install the German 4.1.1 update. I first installed the German version of ICS via Odin. I then applied the update.zip from here:
HTML:
d-h.st/lLB
Prior to this, I rooted the device, but I believe the above process removed the root anyway.
After my device rebooted, the S Pen isn't working at all. It recognises when I take the pen out, but I cannot use it. It doesn't do a thing. I've read about 1,000 forum threads and cannot find an answer, as to how I can get it working again.
I tried deleting cache and user data, then reapplying the update.zip to no avail.
When I boot up in to recovery mode, it does come up with a message about CSC and then the little drop falls over and I have the usual options.
Any idea what I need to do, to get my S Pen working again? Or what I've done wrong?
Many thanks
This is how I rooted the device.

I have a feeling this is the "root" of the issue. I'm not sure how to remove it.
I know previously I wasn't able to change my CSC via CSC switcher, but I am now.
So I guess installing the German ICS and then update.zip, hasn't completely undone whatever rooting it above did.
Removed the custom recovery and the pen started working again. At this point I was back on ICS, trying to see whether JB was the issue.
Now update.zip will not apply, despite the fact I'm on the German ICS stock. I get an error status 7 in package.zip.
This is the worst experience I've ever had, with any device in my life.
If this wasn't a present I'd have smashed it in to tiny pieces. I will never buy a non Nexus device ever again.
I know this may seem trivial, but when I'm running 4.2 on all other devices, I don't want to be stuck on 4.0 with my brand new tablet.
Samsung have really put me off ever buying their devices in the future.

This a pretty bummer situation. Sorry you're dealing with it.
I find this interesting, as I followed the exact same procedure to root as you. I haven't experienced any pen issues though.
Could it be the 4.1 you flashed?
This is one of my fears too, so I really hope this can be solved.
I finally managed it.
I downloaded a different German ICS from a different guide and this time it worked no problems.
The one that worked, had a file name: N8010XXALI3_N8010OXAALI3_DBT
Update.zip worked first time after I installed the above ICS.
Hope that helps.

[Q] Pushing 4.1.1 ROM on 4.1.1

Hi,
I have Samsung Tab 2 7" P3100
Originally had 4.0.4 which worked great.
But got OTA update n upgraded to 4.1.1
& Now it started giving me trouble, Wifi Connection is very unstable.
Connected to Wifi Network keeps popping up every 5 mins.
I cant even install things properly without worrying of it will fail or success.
so i rooted the device and reset the whole thing (Rooted to make a Titatnium Backup n all)
Problem still persists, Still the Wifi Trouble.
Without a Proper Wifi its not even worth having a Tablet.
So my Question is: Can i Push a 4.1.1 ROM from Sammobile on my current 4.1.1 ??
or should i just downgrade it to 4.0.4 & than do a upgrade via Kies rather than OTA update.
( I am thinking something in OTA messed up, so a proper ROM from sammobile might help)

Yes, you can trying to download them from sammobile.com and start to installing from odin. Make sure you have backup for your ICS 4.0.4 before replace with JB 4.1.1
Good luck..

need help installing update on Galaxy Tab 7.7 SCH-i815

Hi all, I need some help with this. I have the Galaxy tab 7.7 SCH-i815. It's not unlocked or anything, because I'm not sure how to do this.
Anyway, for the longest time now I'm getting a notification prompting me to update the software, but when I try to do this, it will say that it was unsuccessful. The current Android version is 4.0.4. See the attached photo for details.
How can I get it to install the update? It's driving me nuts!
The same thing happened to me. LP11 (the new update for the i815) is not better than LP10 (the one you have now)
So just ignore it, you dont need the update, they are both android 4.0.4 and LP11 has worse battery life.
But if you really want to get it, you need to reflash the stock 3e recovery.

[Q] Update stock rooted galaxy tab

Hey all, I have a bought a galaxy tab 2 on android version 4.1.1 a while ago.
Back then I rooted the tablet so I could run whatsapp etc. on it.
After some research last days I noticed there were a few updates for the tab, and I decided that i want 4.1.2, (but still with root)
now my question is(since I can't update over the air):
How can i update my tab to version 4.1.2 while keeping the root acces and without losing or need to reinstall my apps?
because if i download the stock 4.1.2 ROM and install it, I lose all my apps and I need to reinstall it (from my experience with the htc legend).
thanks in advance!
Make a backup in CWM and install the ota; it seems that usually with this device OTA's will install properly when rooted.
You know, it's a sad day when your cellular service is faster than your home broadband.

No, that is the problem. It is not possible because it will say taht my device is modified. But i decided to try cyanogenmod on it. And if it doesn't suit me then i will install stock 4.1.2.
but still thanks

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113

As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
