Total Reset/Wipe of device - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running CM10.1, I encrypted my device in order to use BYOD from work. After encryption I now have a significant lag (2+ seconds) when using device and want to reset phone to stock. From the guidance I have found ODIN is the only way to complete this task which requires a *.PIT and the *.BIN from Google. The problem I'm having is I cannot locate any *.PIT file for the Nexus S i9020T, all the links are broken or the file is no longer hosted on that site. A post I found on another site said that the PIT file is the firmware, is this correct? My current firmware is I9020XXKI1, which of course I cannot locate the current firmware either. Any guidance would be very much appreciated!

I guess this forum is not very active anymore, was really hoping there was someone that has experience with Odin and the i9020T that could give a little insight. I keep reading and there is conflicting info everywhere and cannot take the chance of bricking phone because of work. Thanks in advance for your help!

How to return Inspire 4G to the way it was when I bought it, stock rom?

Did some searching and found a page using Google that linked to this file, RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe. It's my understanding that all I have to do is run the file and treat it as though it was something like the Odin one click method. What I want to know is the following:
- Is what I have the correct file?
- Are there any other methods to return the phone to stock should I have any warranty issues?
I appologize if this has been covered, I did search and wasn't able to find out any concrete advice.
well if you have s off then you have to run the s on tool.
The way i did it:
used the bubby one click to flash the downgraded rom. thenn in terminal, i typed these certain commands (i forgot what they were but i will get back to you on it). that enables s on. then i flashed the stock att non rooted rom in hboot. i will find the link on those in a little. as far as the ruu above, i bel;ive that it is the correct one.
Thanks a ton, if you have a link to the steps that need to be taken that would be great as well. All and any help is appreciated though.

Back to stock - Issues.

I have a I9020T, I was on CM7, Oxygen etc.. for the last few months. But i had some stability issues, SOD's , reboots, freezes etc.
So i thought I'll go back to good old stock. i downloaded the stock rom's from the general section, and flashed them
Now i notice that i lose signals, phone's display is messed up during incoming calls( I can only see the the status bar, Below that everything is black, But i could just answer the calls by swiping the screen), Losing signal happens almost every alternate day.
So all i wanna know is, Are all these known bugs or is my phone screwed up due to too much flashing?
I am totally unrooted now.... I wiped everything including sd card and have tried atleast 3 different stock roms already.
Anyone else having these issues? Any solutions or fixes.
Hi,
Have you already try ODIN ?
He's able to put your device as it was before all changes.

I thought odin was not safe? That's a last option right because its the same as flashing the stock rom through recovery?
I've already use it a lot of time. I was using it on my spica by thé past.
With thé good files and the good tuto it might work.
Here, in France, we use Odin to restore a clean phone.
If you decided tu use it, you will put your device like ait was new . And you will have to flash thé recovery and root him.
I late you search for some comments from over users.

can you supply links for the nessesary files for i9020t???
I'll find the folder to download here (need to register for DL) : http://www.samfirmware.com/mobile.htm
I'm looking for link for ODIN download.
I just talk about a way to might resolve some issue, use it a your own risks.
Be careful with your device version. Save your data (SMS, Pictures, Music...)
Using Odin shouldn't remove data from "SD CARD" but might be safe...
Edit : The link of download ODIN is in the same line. (FLASHER).

Can you give me link of proper instructions for ODIN, I searched here and the thread in Android development doesn't seem to have the necessary files for I9020T.
I don't know what kind of difference there is between i9020 A and i9020 T.
I'm running a i9023.
In the website I'd give the link, you'll find a FlashGuide with explain what is necessary to do in order to use Odin.
If you register there, you'll able to download the guide and more informations about the way to use.
I can't give you more answers, sorry.
Try Matr1x v11.0 CFS ;D
Do you think i9023 & i9020T are running the same build ?
I wonder.
Because, I've just get a look on the following thread and the two devices seems to work with the same baseband.
Look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
I let you wait for another feedback from users. I just should want to give a way.
I hope you'll manage to get back to Stock.

Samsung compatiblity with GT-p3110 & GT-p3113

Can anyone help me, I need to know how much GT-p3110 is compatible with GT-3113...?
I have a need for a .opt & .pit file, for GT-p3113 8gb. I have tried other forums, but with no luck in getting a verification email from them yet, as this process has been a couple of days and still waiting. My efforts are not at an all loss, as I have found my answers there, just not able to communicate with other members there, so...?
I have found this .pit file here, and this post has mentioned that is was working on an 8gb device, but just how compatible is this .pit file...???
Here is that .pit file by the way.

Would like a bump, as I am in need of this pit file as well.
What do you need this for exactly...?
Can you just find a Stock Rom, for your device and start from there...?
Again, what is the need for a .pit file..., there may be another work around, by just installing a Stock Rom and then re-root...
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
I've been planning on gathering enough files to make a completely full system recovery in case I mess up my GP-P3110 really bad.
I have finally encountered the factory firmware for my gTab which is has the ZTO CSC but what I really had in mind was to be prepared for even the hard bricks. When it comes to my Galaxy S GT-I9000B all I need is the original fimrware (which I already have for the gTab) and a .pit file, but I have nothing else besides the original firmware for my gTab.
I came across this page (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3110-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96473/) where there seems to be the .pit file for the P3110, but I'm not sure if it actually does the job. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I was wondering what else I should have in order to bring my P3110 back from the dead, since someone said something about a .opt file also. What is it?
Thanks for the time!

[ROM][ODIN] P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware

P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SPH-P500 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the Sprint model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 firmware.
Details:
P500VPBMB3 Stock w/ MB3 Modem
Package Includes: BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, MODEM AND CACHE ZONES
Download:
P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com
How To Flash:
BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.
Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site. We also offer repairs on a number of other issues.
27 downloads and nothing? I'd love some feedback so others can be confident in the firmware.
It´s a disease from all P31XX and P51XX useres don´t hitting the thanks button and don´t giveing feedback... maybe they don´t want any support.... (?)...
i don´t have a P51XX - i can´t give other feddback then this... sorry....
Haha it seems that way! Well thanks for your response. Nice to hear from somebody about this. For some reason the Tab 2 10.1 forum members seem to be dead but want development anyhow without any input!
There are a lot of people here in a german forum there is mostly nobody ...
i hope you get some feedback! if not: there is not problem first things that will reported are problems
Haha, how true! No news is good news right?
problem and feedback if it works...
Hi. I am pretty new here (although I have been a member for a while, I have not really been active). I do have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 inch display model P500VPBMB3. Perhaps I can try out what you are talking about if it helps me with my problem below and then I will be more than happy to give you feedback.
PROBLEM
I never really rooted a device before but I am at a loss here since the current version of Android that I have on my device is 4.1.2 . It's working OK but I run out of space very often since I only have 16GB of main memory. I would love to upgrade to 4.2.x so that I have the option of storing apps on the external SD card. I am not clear exactly what you are giving us here on your thread. If you can explain it to me and especially if it does what I am outlining above I would want done, I would love to give it a shot and then give you some feedback.
Either way thank you for helping is Sprint tablet people whether or not what you have above will help me.
Thanks

You will actually want to look into custom recovery combined with a custom ROM to enable this type of option. What I have provided here is a stock firmware (stock operating system). This is actually already what you have installed on the device.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. You seem to be a helpful sort of person. I am sorry to be so dense but I have no idea what those things are. Is there a place where I can, sort of begin from scratch to learn all about these things or can you please fully explain what I need to do here?
I get that yo said that what you are offering is what I already have. What I don't understand is what exactly what to look for. I do know that if I install the wrong thing, I can brick my device. What I don't know if how to find what I am looking for. I already tried it in the search box-that's how I got to your thread.
This is honestly a very tough section as the P500 is a rare unit that has little to no development. You are in the right sub-forum but finding any mods for your unit may not be possible at this time unfortunately.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! You can root with Kingo root and make modifications with xposed. I just have been so busy with work.
I will flash this when I have time. Now I can be more risky with flashing because I can now go back to stock ROM.

Hello, I know its been almost a year, but I tried to flash this ROM and get stuck after the tab reboots with the message "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", is there anything I can do to restore the tab (I did not do any backup).
Thanks a bunch
Do you have the Sprint model? If so, try re-downloading it and flashing again. Afterwards, perform a factory data reset.

The tab comes from China but in the options i've seen SPH-P500 so I supposed it was a model made for Sprint.
I did flash again and reset factory but nothing changed.

That is definitely unusual though the fact it came from China. This likely is NOT the right firmware for your model. The back of the unit should have the model number. See what it says...

Indeed the back says P5110 ... Chinese devices ... Thanks a lot ! :good:
P500
Wow!! I made a mistake!! I bought this tab to have some fun rooting and installing custom roms. I should have checked the forums first to see if there was any support. Thanks for what you've provided here. I'm going to at least try to root and install xposed.
I have a sprint gtab2 10.1 that's out of contract, so i'm willing to start working on things if needed.
if we no longer need to use the Sprint data can we flash a SPH-P5100 rom for wifi only ?
resurrecting an old thread. Need to find the original firmware for sph-p500. This appears to be it, but I can't find or get the password to the .rar file. I can't find the firmware anywhere else after a TON of google searches. any help appreciated in either getting the password to the .rar file, or a different place to download the firmware.

What have I done??

try using a pit file with odin. im thinking it wouldnt have an error if you had the pit file.
to answer your question "what have i done?" it would seem, you changed things you didnt understand and didnt realize the consequences, resulting in a big @SS mess
dont do that
Like I said odin won't work because of unexpected partition layout.
I'm fully aware of the consequences however I will be the recipient
Of a Samsung galaxy note 4 next week so I was just experimenting
And I will definitely not be rooting that

ill just assume you dont know what a pit file is, and ill move on. good luck!
No need to assume, I'll be honest I've no idea what a pit file is or how to use one
Etc etc, however I'd be interested to learn if you can give me the basics, everybody has to start somewhere and the only way to progress is if people share the knowledge,
So what do you know that can help me??

go to your devices forum where the return to stock post is, and see if there is a pit file for whatever version you have. if not, try a search for pit over your general and q&a forums. im sure you will find some, just need to match them to the stock files.
on odin, there is a pit box, check it and link your pit file.
I'd just like to let you know I have managed to sort my phone out
I got a clockwork mod ,and now I'm using something called CyanogenMod
I'm not quite sure how I have managed to achieve this but I have my WiFi connected
to my phone again, Odin is installed and working with no unexpected partition layout
Problems, however my SD card won't mount and I can't seem to get Google playstore
But for now its a small price to pay considering where I was this afternoon. I think I've done well
