Hello All,
Please look at these steps, is it will work?:
1. Root tablet without flashing CWM ( [HOWTO] Root the Galaxy Tab 2 7" without flashing the bootloader )
2. Install Mobile Odin and flash CWM (Without increasing custom count)
3. Backup current firmware in CWM (Because I cannot find original firmware for my region (SEK)
4. Install CM9/10, any other custom ROM
5. Restore backup of original firmware with CWM
And now is one more question: How to flash original bootloader (and where to get it?) without increasing custom counter?
I just rooted and flashed CM9 with my Tab 2 7.0. few days ago!!
Here is the steps I would like to share with you:
1. Use Task Manager to kill all Kies background programs, e.g. Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, KiesPDLR.exe...
2. Enable USB debugging in the Tab and connect to PC
3. Use the DebugfsRoot_v1.8.n95.zip from this post
4. Run RootDebugfs_n95.bat in command prompt with administrator right
5. Just few clicks and wait for the Tab to reboot twice
6. Now the Tab is already rooted, install Mobile Odin from Play store and install the CWM recovery by Mobile Odin
7. Reboot Tab in CWM and flash CM9 & Gapps

Sure, but there is no ROM for Ukraine . Also looking it on the samsung-updates.com with same negative result.
If you have p3100(wifi+gsm) download P3100XWBLF5 (it's Russia 4.0.4 ) extract with winrar,and you will find recovery.img inside,and flash it with Mobile Odin.It works 100% ,I have tested myself.You can flash with Mobile Odin any recovery you want,not only CWM,you can flash any official recovery.img ,just extract it from your rom with winrar.
Cheers!
Thanks!
I have GT-P3110, but i think that recovery same for all regions and it can be extracted from any ROM for 3110. Is i am right?
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
Yes,unpack any rom for p3110 ,and extract recovery.img from it,put on your sdcard (internal or microsd) open Mobile Odin,and select Open recovery,and flash it.It will work 100%.
Cheers!

*.md5 file is tar archive. You can change extension from *.md5 to *.tar and unpack it (for ex; with using WinRar). Also you can use Total Commander for unpacking.
P.S. Will try this method in a week or little bit later. (I am on Vacation and dont have any laptop)

Do you have the Stock ROM for GB 2.3.6 (SkyRocket) which i can flash using TWRP? My PC doesn't recognize my Skyrocket. The only way for me is to flash using TWRP but I can't find the GB ROM for it. There's a lot of ROM of GB but it is for ODIN (with extension .tar.md5) instead.

invalid zip
I am a mac user without access to a PC (no odin). I have TWRP recovery installed. I used android file transfer to move the stock firmware zip in the download section to the internal SD (root folder). I wiped the system and cache, then install zip - but it fails every time with "invalid zip file format". I have tried a half dozen other versions of the stock ROM from various sources and they all fail with the same error. ZIP signature verification is disabled. Just when I thought that i was doing something completely dumb and not flashing correctly at all - I tried re-flashing the lineageOS ROM i have and that worked fine. I've read a bit about unpacking and re-zipping these zips to get them to work, but that requires 7zip (which I don't have on mac). Help! am I doing something dumb or do I not have the correct zip files? I really need to get back to stock so I can activate my cellular service.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you mean this zip file when you unzip it show you 5 files that you can use with Odin?
I tried and says fail , why would tarp fail to flash a stock firm ?
Q. Why there is a need to repack the firmware?
A. As you may know, the stock kernel in the stock firmware has the emmc hard brick feature enabled which is believed to be the reason of 2 hard brick incident reported in the forum. And even worse, the emmc hard brick bug (mmc_erase) can be called @ anytime after the system is booted with a buggy kernel, which means that your device can immediately get bricked after the first reboot.
Q. So is it okay to flash the ROM via odin with a different bootloader (i.e. boot.img)?
A. Theoretically, yes. But the problem is that when we repack the odin package with a modified boot.img. The download counter will rise and a yellow triangle will appear on every boot.
Q. So is there any way to flash the stock bootloader but without letting it get booted?
A. Yes. There is a way to do so. After you have successfully flashed a package via odin, the odin bootloader (based on BCT partition) will invoke the recovery bootloader to finish the install process. And if you are not using the stock recovery, the process will get halted and then leave you at the recovery (CWM) screen. And then you can flash a kernel via CWM at this point.
Q. Is there anything that I should aware of?
A. Yes. Just like flashing any firmware, After flashing the ICS package, it is important for you to backup all the important files before flashing.
Guideline 1 [For people who is willing to use CWM6 (provided by Adam77Root)] (prefered way) :
1. Turn on your device and connect it to a computer
2. Place the kernel file, superuser file (which can be flashed via CWM) and new_sec_csc.zip into your internal SD card first and make sure all your important data on /sdcard are backed up (You are free to select any kernel but make sure the mmc erase part get disabled from the kernel completely)
3. Turn it off and remove the external sdcard from the device
4. Download the ICS firmware files which contains GB kernel and CWM6
5. Put the device into download mode and flash the above package via odin 3.07. Place the package file (*.tar.md5) into PDA part (You can now flash with pit file as well, however the internal sdcard data will get wiped so it is important for you to make a backup for important files before flashing) (DO NOT attemp to flash any ICS package via odin 1.85 as there is a high risk that the download process get stuck in odin v1.x series, and you have to unbrick your device with nvflash tool if error occurs)
6. After the device is restarted, it will get into recovery (CWM) mode. And the script provided by Samsung will be failed to execute due to a assert call. (Don't worry, you can execute the script again by using the patched new_sec_csc.zip)
7. Backup any important data in /sdcard (external sdcard) now if you didn't do so. You can do this @ 'Mount and storage' -> 'Mount USB devices'.
8. 'Wipe cache' and 'Wipe data / factory reset' (make sure you have all your important data on /sdcard backed up and your have removed your external sdcard device)
9. If the above stage has wiped your CWM flashable zip file as well, you can mount the device to a computer via mount menu and you can place the zip file to the phone as mass storage again.
10. Install the CWM flashable zip file (superuser, new_sec_csc.zip and your kernel file) from sdcard (For an unknown odd reason, all the packages you gonna install in this step will have signature verification error, but it is safe to proceed. Just switch off the signature verification from the menu or choose to 'Install untrusted package'.)
11. After you flashed kernel, you are free to flash anything and free to reboot now.
12. If you have used a pit file for flashing the package in odin, a message will be appeared in notification center telling you the filesystem on /sdcard cannot be recognized. Just click on it to format the sdcard and then you are free to use anything now.
13. If you are still afraid of breaking system integrity as you were not using the samsung recovery script to finish the update process, navigate to 'Options -> Back up and reset -> Factory data reset' and totally reset the device there.
P.S. If you accidentally pressed reboot the system now in CWM 6, don't worry, the system will not be able to boot into normal mode. And you can redo all the things since the beginning.
Update #1 : During testing the flash process, I have found that the repacked firmware cannot be flashed with odin 1.83. It is important to get all the ICS firmware being flashed with odin 3.07 (or 3.x sereis) instead v1.x series. Otherwise you have made a risk that your partition (PIT) table is messed up so srsly that you have to use nvflash tool to restore everything. I will tell this to cooleagle to get everyone knows of it.
XXLQ9 :
Stock package with GB kernel and CWM6 which is based on safe stock GB ZSLE6 kernel (just extract the file in the splited zip files) : http://www.mediafire.com/?uq5tg9o7nli04b2 and http://www.mediafire.com/?b5i571br0x07c38
CWM flashable package :
- Superuser CWM flashable package : http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip or Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip in attachments (But you will be unable to update with the 3.2 RC3 build, use 3.1.3 one if you want)
- My own kernel (flashable via CWM) : UnknownzD_Kernel_with_superuser.zip (with superuser, good for first time install) and UnknownzD_Kernel.zip in the attachments
- Patched Samsung install script (the one which failed to run) : new_sec_csc.zip in the attachments
Odin v3.07 : Odin307.zip in the attachments
Credits go to Adam77Root for his CWM image and someone(!?) who has uploaded odin 3.07 to xda forum. Will try to check his name later.
Short change log about my kernel (The longer one will get posted when I start another thread for it) :
4 IO scheduler added
Voodoo sound patch added
Full fp calculation based on hardware fp opcode only (which should makes the device consumes less energy while providing the same performance level)
MMC erase function tootally disabled
Default.prop get modified to increase the performance
Based on ICS 3.x kernel src code released by Samsung
If you gonna use my kernel, please make sure that you have efs_backup.img backed up safely after flashing my kernel package, as it contains your device's IEMI info, which can save you from future disaster as you can use the unbrick tool with it. You can backup the efs_backup.img by :
1. Flash my kernel in CWM
2. Mount and storage -> Mount USB devices
3. Copy the efs_backup.img from the sdcard to your own computer (it is vital for you as you can use the unbrick tool later)
Now I am stuck @ finding a proper file host to upload the files.
waiting for this!

You can root it on your own with superuser zip file. And busybox binary is not yet dropped into /sbin/ as I believe it comprise the system integrity back in GB kernel. Init.d will be supported in near feature. All the things that I changed is just inside the kernel and recovery and provide a safe envrionment for user to continue to flash their own desired kernel. Nothing more.
For kernel development, I will make a separate thread in dev section later.
Sorry I have to postpone the release as I have to repack everything with the nordic release (XXLQ9) now.
Ok, I'm sure you know I asked just for general information. I supposed your answer yet
Anyway, I'm sure its a good job. With the new version (nordic) I suggest you to upload releases to dropbox our something easier. Anybody could make a mirror in other servers later :thumbup:

Yea I just saw the PM, it is really useful for me tbh. Thanks for your help.
Okay after many hours of testing, I am happy to release the ICS XXLQ9 package with GB kernel and CWM 6 (based on the one posted by Adam77Root) that should be able to let you flash your own kernel after flashing it. Download links will be up shortly.
So after 5~6 times of srs bricking, I finally get it working correctly after working overnight.
Ok I have released the ROM already, please try to use it if you know how to use the unbrick tool. This is because I want to ensure that the package can be flashed safely in Odin v3.x instead of v1.x series.

4. Now only i will wipe data thru CWM...
is this ok ?? i am concerned with Austrian firmware currently..rooting is not possible in nordic ROM due to system partition space...

Rooting Nordic ROM is quite easy, that is if you are on GB (if you are on ICS you will have zero free space in system space), so when you are on GB you need CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1839900 use CWM to wipe data and format system.
Flash Nordic ROM (Odin), than CWM, go to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and download binary only (ARM), now use CWM to install SU binary.
You need SU app from Play Store and you are rooted.
Nice work! Thanks!

Basically the things you mentioned above are included in the package / guide already. Tbh this should not be dangerous. But I want more people to test it first because last time when I released the GB kernel, a lot of people complained about the things that do not occur on my phone.
oh btw about the zero free space in system space, I believe it is just a bug in the filesystem. You can fix it easily by using e2fsck, which is actually included in my kernel script.
This is just explanation about staying stock. Your work and effort is well above this. Thanks in name of all flash addicts
So after many times of tests, I guess it is safe to use the build already, just make sure you have everything backed up before updating (actually you should do this for any fimrnware update). If you have found any problem, just report the problem here. I will repack every stock firmware following the same method until Samsung acknowledge that the MMC_CAP_ERASE is removed from stock kernel.
If you have found your device bricked after using any ICS update (for example, unable to flash the device any more via odin protocol), please let me know via pm please so that I can guide you to fix your phone in IRC.

What happens if I don't use data wipe and factory reset? I didn't so it for the CWM installation while upgrading from GB. Is it really necessary?

When you are updating the ROM from GB to ICS better to wipe data or else you face some Force Closes and other issues....

The wiping cache part is actually a part of odin download process. Everytime when you flash a new firmware in odin, the odin bootloader will invoke some scripts stored in /cache within recovery mode, and then wipe out these scripts / the whole partition as they are no longer needed.
However the wiping /data part is actually an essential part of firmware update and you should do it on your own if you are using CWM based firmware. This is because if you flash a firmware via odin, the data partition gets wiped after the device rebooted.
tbh it should be safe if you didn't wipe the /cache partition but not for the /data partition. Just some usls scripts and T9DB left behind in /cache. But incompatible binaries may still stays in /data if you didn't wipe it.

I started experimenting with my old P3113 last night and ran into a bit of a problem. I successfully rooted using Odin 3.09, verified with root checker. I also successfully flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 via Odin. All root and TWRP install/flashes were successful via Odin.
Following these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...m-dhollmen-lollipop-5-0-2-2015-02-02-t3020849
I downloaded the Dhollmen-P31xx-Kernel_20150215.zip and saved to the Download folder on the tab. From TWRP I ran a wipe and installed the .zip. I reboot the device and I am returned to TWRP recovery. TWRP tells me that the installation was successful however the log says "no MD5 file found". Does this have anything to do with why my device isn't booting properly? I've rooted other devices and flashed ROM's before but I don't understand what I missed on this one. Do I just need to try a different ROM? For reference I am still able to access download menu.
Any help would be appreciated!
Well, the "no MD5 file found" just means TWRP cannot verify the MD5 hash of the ZIP file - that's actually a security meassure to ensure the ZIP file didn't get damaged during download or transfer onto the tab.
Now ... once you flashed TWRP (which you obviously already successfully did) and flashed the Kernel (which you obviously also already successfully did) it would be about time to flash the actual Dhollmen ROM that goes along with the Kernel ... I doubt the Kernel will boot up your vanilla Samsung stock ROM.
In short (haven't read the ROM thread nor did I ever use Dhollmen, so check back to make sure it's about right): Download the ROM, download the GApps package for the ROM and download the Superuser package (if not already included in the ROM) of your choice. Put the files onto either a FAT32 formatted SD card (if you can't put them into the NAND "SD card" partition at the moment) or onto a FAT32 formatted USB stick (given you have a USB-OTG cable), plug it in (if you use a USB stick make sure your tablet is CHARGED!), boot into recovery and flash the files in one go ... ROM, Gapps, SU.
Run a wipe (Data and Cache) when everything is flashed to nuke any left-overs from the Stock ROM and reboot to system.
Keep in mind the first boot can take quite some time ... don't panic if the boot animation "just sits there" for 5<->15 minutes.
Easiest way would be to actually use a ROM that doesn't require a extra Kernel ... like Android-Andi's CyanogenMod 12.1 or Omni ROM 5.1 (use the 3110 versions for your 3113).
hi

Hi
Try downloading your firmware from sammobile.com based on your country code and flash it with Odin while your phone in Download Mode, in Odin, check f.reset time and auto reboot, don't check any thing else.
The firmwares link:
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/sm-n7505/SM-N7505/
SAM MOBILES FILE FAILED BUT "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip "
The file from sammobile (dot-com) did NOT FIX the issue of my note3 neo sm-n750; but with the old file, i tired before, ( "Galaxy-Note-3-Neo-SM-N7505-Full-Factory-rom-4.4.2.zip" from filehost(dot)com fixed the issue.
Why i failed before with the same file?
Actually i copied the "...full-factory ROM.. .zip" into an sd card and tried to 'install from the external sources' option in phone's recovery.
why?
As you know, the Odin only allow .tar,.md5,.smd .gz, .tgz formats; NOT ZIP file. I thought the recovery program can extract the zip file from the external SD card and do the rest . So i didn't try to extract it manually.
The zip file from sammobile contains only one md5 file. I tried it with odin's AP button and executed but failed with some error messages.
So I extracted "...full-factory ROM.. .zip file" (once i left), and I got AP, BL, CP, CSC files. then I selected and executed each file with ODIN's desired buttons and It gave my SM-N7505 a new life.
Anyway, Thank you very much dear Mr.MigoMujahid for spending time to help me
God Bless you

Hi Mr-Shihab
To flash a zip with recovery, then it has to be a flashable zip, it should be built in a specific way so the recovery can work with it, and the zip you have is a normal compressed files, so it can't be flashed at all with recovery, also note that the zip you downloaded from sammobile might be corruptedly downloaded, because sammobile offer a clean roms, anyway, you can also use samsung-firmware.org, it's a trusted site as well.
Ps: that md5 file you got works the same as the 4 files you downloaded after.
God bless you too
Had the same issue with a note 3 neo once, completely bricked it and couldn't flash stock firmware. Went to odin recovery mode as it is called (or something like that) and just put in some information found once you take the battery out and it did its thing and bam it is working.

There is Odin download Mode and there is Recovery Mode!!, which one do you mean?! ?
Also Recovery Mode is to flash files or wipe, and Odin Download mode is to flash files with Odin, how did you input anything there?!!

There is a recovery mode (not the one where you flash your roms and replace with twrp) in kies (my bad for not saying that) that reflashes the whole phone, you could literally erase the recovery or the kernel and you'd still be able to recover it which you can check out here
