I'm seeking help regarding the bootloader for my P3110:
>I can not install any new 4.1.2 roms because the bootloader fails in Odin (these new 4.1.2 firmwares seem to flash bootloader 1st)
>When I install older 4.1.1 firmware, the rom installs but the bootloader fails at the end although the device will boot normally after that.
>Codeworkx's bootloader (from CM10.1 page) will not install on odin either.. I just get an error message.
>Using triangle away on stock 4.0 and 4.1 will not work properly because of my bootloader issues.. (Modified status always comes back)
Maybe I could try flashing a CWM zip of the JB bootloader?? Could someone make or show me how to make one??
I've tried the obvious such as flashing back to ICS stock etc
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to return the device to its original form... but I cannot do this as the device will not let me achieve any OTA updates (always says device has been modified)
Thanks
Matt
AW: Bootloader fail
CWM cant Flash the Bootloader, so a zip is useless. Choose heimdall for flashing the bootloader.

But I think that ODIN does not flash a bootloader because my existing bootloader is damaged

Thanks for your reply.. I've done that but even though the firmware installs fine... "DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED" always comes back when trying to OTA update.
When gone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 the bootloader fails to install... even though the rom itself has installed and runs
Modified status always comes back and all bootloaders fail to install
Oh.. Then flash any rooted room, use triangle away to reset counter (run the app then go directly to download mode), you will notice that counter and binary should be now 0.
Get 4.0.4 for your region and tablet. ( samfirmware or Samsung-updates). Flash it. Status should be official.
Get any csc chanter from play store and change CSC to your country (not all roms need this).
Update with kies or OTA and hope for the best.
Good luck.

P3113 bootloader instead of P3110
In the 1st few weeks of owning the device I accidentally flashed P3113 firmware instead of a P3110.
So ever since then, when in download mode, PRODUCT NAME = P3113
Do you think I have a P3113 bootloader instead of a P3110??? Is this why I cant flash a new P3110 Firmware (with sbl) because they clash???
P3113 bootloader instead of p3110
Ok so I'm getting closer to understanding why my device is behaving the way it it...
My bootloader shows that it is a P3113 device (the display in download mode)
So when I try to flash stock P3110 roms... it fails on the bootloader... because they dont match.
(My device is the P3110 by the way)
So why cant I flash a P3110 bootloader???
SO CONFUSED!!
Anyone got any more ideas??

I have a gt 2 7.0 p3110 . I need to go back to stock /out of the box status. If I have the firmware,can I just do so by flashing said firmware from recover menu?
I also have a custom kernel. Will it get rid of the kernel?
I have searched the threads but haven't found anything corresponding to this specific tablet .
There is a great YouTube video showing the steps. Starting with flashing a stock ota ROM using your cwm or twrp recovery then he shows you how to install Samsung stock Odin recovery using the desktop Odin application. Unrooting it may not be so important but that will be somewhere during the restore I believe. Search it the YouTube links come up. There are a few of them!! The kernel is most likely part of the ROM. So stock ROM should have a fresh kernel with that rom

You could flash it via odin for pc or heimdall not cwm
If you flash stock firmware, yes the custom kernel will be gone !!!

hi guys, im new here
just have a few questions
i have a bell samsung s3 model SGH-I747M , i have android version (stock) 4.0.4 , i have rooted my device
however, i want to update to jelly bean 4.1.2 , i was wondering, do i update using the stock software or will that cause my phone to trip since it is rooted? or do i use a jellybean update made for rooted devices? should i even update? or use the ROMs for the current version ?
also, what is the best ROM for s3? is there one where u can control CPU usage on board ?
thank you
anybody :/ ?
Well if you like stock unroot your phone and put stock recovery back on to get the ota update. You need stock recovery to get it. So if you haven't installed clockworkmod or twrp recoveries and are still on stock you're fine, just unroot. You can always reroot. If you'd like to try custom ROMs go to search your phone up top and you'll find ROMs made for your phone.

Ok. qbking77 on YouTube probably has a video out showing ya how to do it depending on your model of phone. Just search his videos "how to flash stock recovery" and "stock jelly bean" with your carrier varient. they are the easiest to follow. Make sure its your carrier or youll brick your phone. Once you flash a stock ROM that specifies "not rooted" you won't have to unroot.

When you install stock ROMs your phone will no longer be rooted. Some roms were created with root pre installed. So if you use them you will have root. If you want to update your phone with an "over the air" update, you will need stock recovery And a stock ROM . But if it were me I would just keep custom recovery and find a rooted stock ROM to download. Sorry I didn't reply sooner

Hi.
I rooted my Note 8010 using Zedomax' method. All has been fine. My note has now downaloded the JB OTA update, but it fails to install.
I assume I need to restore 'stock' recovery to install the OTA update? But where can I get this from.
Also will installing the OTA remove root? And will Zedomax' method still work to re-root after applying the update.
Regards
Installing the OTA should not remove root but if it does just use the exynos abuse patch app to root that is the simplest and safest method.
Thanks Samir_a
Do I actually need to restore stock recovery? If so, where can I get that?

Ok I ran the CF auto root to restore stock recovery.
But now I have downloaded the ota update 3 times, and on clicking install it fails immediately.
Previously it rebooted into CWM recovery.
Any ideas what's wrong now? I'm guessing I can download a full update and flash it another away, but I assume that will erase all settings.
Try to flash via odin or if u r rooted use mobile odin . Im now on jb 4.1.2 i flashed my note via mobile odin in 5 min
Thanks mexman_2010.
However if I use odin that will trash my settings won't it?
Is there no way of getting the ota update to work?
You dont need to retore stock recovery or fiddle with odin. Just use kies on your computer and it installs the update for you. All your data should still be intact after the process but it is recommended to backup first
Keep in mind that updating using kies removes root
The ota's are using the patch method;
effectively what they do is work out the difference between the new binaries and old binaries and just send a patch that changes the old into the new.. this is done to keep the ota as small as possible I presume.
so if the binary isn't identical to what was shipped with the rom its trying to update then it will have to fail, otherwise you'd end up with an almighty great mess of non booting or corrupted devices.
if they used the file method (complete apks etc like an cwm style zip) then it shouldn't matter, but as it is, the only way to ensure a patch will work is to make sure the files are identical to what the patch was generated against, root allows you to change system files, so root is the primary way of checking if the system has been altered.
ergo if you want otas then you're most likely going to have to run them from a stock rom.
Thanks for all the info guys.
Bizarrely though, having left the Note overnight. It downloaded the OTA update itself and this time when I clicked install it worked perfectly, so
all is well again.
Thanks for the help everyone.
Please every one. I need help with my n8000. Currently i am on stock ics rooted with zedomax cwm installed. Is it safe for me to install OTA update or can i just switch back to my stock recovery by flashing it through odin? I have downloaded the stock recovery so im waiting for your replies

Yes you can do that, install stock recovery using ODIN, you will need to use triangleaway to reset your binary count though.
Also make sure the stock recovery is for your devic
I am looking for some help regarding my Tab 2 10.1.
My tab was rooted and then flashed with Cyanogenmod 9.1.
Also ClockworkMod recovery 6.0.2.7 was installed.
What I want to know is how do I restore it to its stock firmware and have it as if it was new, root free with no evidence of custom firmware i.e reset flash counter
All help welcome!
I was in the same exact situation, i am now back to official stock rom with no signs of mods. Here's what i did. This works on all galaxy tab 2 devices by the way.
-First download stock official 4.1.1 p5110 rom and flash it with odin.
-Start up your tab to see if it's back to stock rom.
-Next you have to root it with CF-autoroot and flash it with odin.
-You should now have stock official rom with stock recovery and a rooted device.
-Now download Triangle Away app for free over at the XDA forums (google it) or support the DEV by purchasing it on Google Play.
-While using triangle away, reset the flash counter, the app would then close after it's done. Make sure that triangle away did the job by opening the app and viewing the status Official with 0 flash counts.
-Now open SuperSU and go to settings and select full unroot, your device would then be unrooted.
-Lastly, put the tab to stock recovery mode and factory reset the tab.
You should now be good to go as if you have never modded the tab, to confirm, go to settings<status and check what it says on the status. If it says official than you are done.
NOTE: Be aware that Triangle away is said to hard brick your device if mishandled, according to the DEV. However i have never bricked my device over the dozens of times i have used this nor have i seen anyone brick because of this. For more information view the XDA Triangle away post.

If you have a stock ROM, it will run /system/etc/install-recovery.sh which will re-install the stock recovery. If you're rooted, that's the easiest way to get the stock recovery back (chmod 544 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh then /system/etc/install-recovery.sh)

The firmware should come with Stock Recovery. If ODIN do not flash it with Firmware then you try to flash the Stock Recovery only..If still not done then use Odin mobile ver and try.
Since upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I am not able to downgrade to ICS. After the flashing ICS via odin or for that matter mobile odin, is complete, it goes into a boot loop. Only way way out was again flash Jelly bean, it worked. Is there any firmware with full components like pda separate file, CSC separate file and phone separate file? I have heard that we need to flash these separate files via odin to downgrade. can anybody give a download link for the same?

you must go to stock ricovery ( with power + volum up ) and then wipe data
( your data are remove ( factory riset )
sorry for my bad ENGLISH
But I have heard that if one wipes factory reset through stock recovery, I am afraid one is liable to get bricked devices.

I would research the factory reset option. It shouldn't brick your device.

Just to make it clear.. wiping from stock is Safe IF you are in HC or JB ( someone said its safe ) but a big NO in ICS because it causes the tab to be bricked.. wiping from CWM on all roms is SAFE.. pls.. get your facts right..

If you want to downgrade from official JB to official ICS, you have to have .pit file
You can search pit file for P6200 in XDA and using odin to flash official ICS with option re-partition checked
First time, when my friend downgrade without .pit file, tab got stuck at SS logo even wipe everything fully. With .pit file, it succeeded

Did you check option re-partition in Odin?
By the way, stuck at SS logo is quite often happened if you did not wipe. You should try to perform full wipe.
There is an issue related to wipe using ICS stock recovery, you should use Odin to flash CWM recovery (without .pit file) and use CWM recovery to wipe.

when you are stuck in bootloop flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe..that will fix it...avoid full reset using stock recovery to prevent brickbug
