[A700] [HowTo] Update German Version to JB

Hi!
Just found a way to update to JB from the 1.053 version (Acer_AV043_A700_RV22RC03_EMEA_DE) on wich every other update failed for me. But runs with the other versions, too.
Unlock Bootloader
Install CWM (6.0.1.4)
Visit this german forum
get the file A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02.zip
flash it via CWM
DONE!
Just tested and it's working.
Credits go to those who deserve it.
I deleted CWM and a mate let it where it was and both A700 are running fine [*] (see below!)
... now waiting for root
----------------------------
[*] New info:
My friend, who kept CWM, unlocked the bootloader again after the update and now has a bootloop. So my advice is to kill CWM after the update.
I don't get into recovery too (with locked bootloader) it says "recovery image verified failed". But system starts normally afterwards.
------------------
More info:
I had CWM on the tab too, because i misunderstood the question:
When asked
Code:
ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?
No
No
No
Yes - Disable recovery flash
say NO! to kill CWM.
------------------
Still more info to come:
(4.10.2012)
The bootloop was fixed by flashing a propriate recovery after beeing able to enter fastboot using the right key combination.
andiby left us a JB stock recovery: recovery.img and he build a CWM 6.0.1.4 with JB Kernel: recovery-a700-6014JB.img which runs fine for me.
Use the CWM with JB Kernel only to flash files and not to WIPE, FORMAT or RESTORE a backup, because there were issues with a different JB based CWM and I can't guarantee this one to work, because I have not tested it.

I'm on FR Firmware, can you tell me how should I proceed?

If you want to keep the FR firmware you will have to wait for an appropriate update file.
If you want to switch to Germen I think it should work with this method, because the zip file contains everything from bootloader to system files.

Do you think I can here: https://app.dumptruck.goldenfrog.com/p/GOKKb2PavJ download an install then install Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC03_AV043.RV07RC06_EMEA_DE thereafter this here JB?

I would not recommend it, because your file is only 340 MB while the one from the thread above is nearly 400 MB.
I think you only need the file from my post, because there is everything in it fpr JB afaik, but I can give no guarantee, because I only used it to update my German version.
PS: Might it be posible to reduce the size of your signature a bit? Threads are much more difficult to read if a signature is almost always larger than a normal post. Thank you to give consideration to my request.

Yes but i can from FR Firmware to DE and install first update (5MB) and this is 1.053 => finally JB or i think wrong?
PS: Nope. These are my projects

update or flash total
Is it an upgrade or full flash?
Did you delete all data you had or upgrade your system?

It's an update. Everything is on the tab as before.
@DakiX: all I can say is that I would not recommend using this method with any other file than the one mentioned in the first post, because this is the one I tested.

Thank
Thank you. I will flash now.

I just don't get why you want to flash anything else before the "A700 JB Full ROM AV051_1.028.00_EMEA_DE RV09RC02.zip" because it is a FULL ROM and should be flashable over ICS 1.023, ICS 1.027, ICS 1.053 and ICS 1.055 to get JB 1.028.

Works great ! Thanks !
But for me, recovery 6.0.1.4 is KO after the update. I need to use the one with "the brick bug". Not good at all
I will wait for Pawitp before using it...

Can you get into recovery mode using "adb reboot recovery"?

Nope.. failed but its understandable because CWM must be made for 4.1.1

Based on Latest firmware version : PDA:LI8 / PHONE:LI2 / CSC:LI6 (TGY)
Just like ausdim's deodex package, this is not a full ROM, it will install and replace only your system/app and system/framework folders so please make sure you are on the above stated firmware before continuing.
Tested on my ZHALI8 based GT-I9305 (TGY Hong Kong unit).
You need to have CWM Recovery installed.

That's the method I used. make sure after first odin flash, you let your device reboot twice before u apply cwm tar file.

我按照之前给的连接的办法，在odin界面刷入cwm包，之后重启机器，结果进入的还是3e的界面。之前机器到手的时候是li7，后来连接wifi之后，强制升级了。

Sorry one more question HK brother,~
if i use this package on ZHALI7, will it wipe my existing data ?
also if i use this package, will it upgrade from ZHALI7 to 8?

You can use this package on ZHALI7, however it will not update your modem/csc/boot to ZHALI8. I don't think it's a major problem though, as it is just a software package modification and it should work properly.

Same here. Same as Asiafalcon Talking about. After flash the recovery.md5. Then reboot into the recovery mode, found that it still show me 3e.
I haven't give up so I tried the way from the galaxy note 2 topic from this forum, used the recovery and root file which is for the note 2. I though it may be the same thing since both of them are also using 4.1.1. Unfortunately, I've failed flasing and popup the yellow triangle on my i9305.
Finally, I tried to using the i9305 root/recovery file to flash once again on it and it can boot up well. At the moment, I found my phone can not detect my micro sim even if I've the newone. Does any one know how to fix this? Do I need to re-flash the original rom (with re-partition from odin) once again?

I'll state carefully and again, do not ever re-partition the device UNLESS 1) you have a backup EFS copy and 2) you are sure that the partition PIT file you are using is for i9305/T AND your specific model (16/32/64 gb), and nothing else.
I'll also re-elaborate my steps - after you have first flashed the Odin rom , make sure you install the CWM through odin AFTER at least two reboots. 3e will be gone once you do so.

Re: Kazumi
So the above step could fix my currently problem? Can I get back the 3G signal and detect my micro sim as normal?

should be, unless the device's NV data area (IMEI) is corrupted. Otherwise, I would suggest you to reflash the official rom first and check whether your device has a signal or not.

Doesn't matter in This case

These task were better done by mobile odin and no need the separate recovery and kernel. Run mobile odin, touched on the kernel field and selected the full rom file here. Then touched on the recovery field and selected the rom file here. Mobile odin will extract the kernel and recovery data on it. Touched flesh firmware. Once completed, the stock kernel and recovery were installed. This operations all done by phone, no need to use pc.

[Q] Downgrade from 4.2.2

If got the update and 4.2.2 is terrible. So I would like to know how to downgrade back to 4.1.1. There probably is a way to do it through Odin (which would be preferred) and if there is, can you give me the links to the downloads.

Did you try a wipe data/cache in recovery mode? This should help a lot, after I did the new 4.2.2 is not so bad, is at least "good" ad the 4.1.2.

No root before flashing. But if you flash the stock rom via Odin, you will need to root it again.
If you can find a flashable zip, then yes, you can use a recovery.
But OP simply wants to return to stock 4.1.1. You can get back to complete stock setup with the Odin process.
Search online for exact procedures.

Q: update to JB to Lollipop

Hello All,
I want to install lollipop builds on my tab 2 7" (Gt-P3100) now i am on Jb 4.1.1 can i directly flash LP after i root and install philz. or tell me how to do i saw jb 4.2.2 update file but when i download it says site blocked. so please help me how to do in step by step

It's better if you download any 4.2.2 firmware from sammobile and flash it through Odin, because it will make sure that you have the latest bootloader, then you can root it, flash custom recovery, and then you can update to lollipop, any doubt or help? Feel free to ask me and make sure you go crazy on the thanks button ?

You can flash the latest bootloader from codeworkx dev-host folder, make sure you are in your device folder!

Here is the link to file you need to flash :-http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/17730/P3100XXDMG6_P3100OXADMG6_XEF/
I am also posting the steps:-
How to Update Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 to Official JB 4.2.2 XXDMG6 Firmware
Odin can be properly used only if your Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 drivers are being installed on your computer. If the drivers are not there, get them manually or use Samsung KIES.
Download Odin on your computer.
Unzip the file on your PC and install the same.
Also, run Odin on your computer.
Finally, go here and download the Jelly Bean 4.2.2 file.
Place the file on desktop and on the same place unzip the package.
Enter the Tab 2 in download mode.
For download mode first turn off your handset; wait a few seconds and then press on Power, Volume Down and Home buttons at the same time.
Connect your device with the computer via USB cable.
Odin will recognize your tablet and on the program you will see the “added” message displayed and the ID:COM section blue or yellow.
If not, resolve the problems by reinstalling the drivers on the computer.
From Odin click on the option named “PDA”.
Pick the update file from your computer.
The re-partition section and the f. reset time box should be unchecked.
Click on “start”.
The XXDMG6 Firmware will now be installed.
In the end on Odin the ID:COM section will be green and the “pass” message will be displayed.
Then, you will be able to unplug the USB cable; also reboot your device.

You don't need to update bootloader if you are on 4.1.2 as it has a lollipop compatible boot loader,
You can get the custom recovery file from here, I am posting of my favorite recovery that is TWRP
Just click here :- TWRP
Of course you need a rooted tab for flashing it, you can just download it to your tab and flash it by using Rashr (it's a app available on playstore, just click on it to go to the google play page to download it) or existing recovery, that you most probably don't have.

If @Er. Abhi doesn't already have custom recovery installed, he can flash TWRP with Odin or Heimdall. I can confirm the Heimdall will flash the twrp img file.
