I tried this in my Focus but it doesn't work. I got the following message on the attached screenshot.. any ideas on this? it seems that the installer doesn't recognise my device as a Samsung Focus therefore it doesn't continue with the flashing procedure..

There are two versions of I8700 (Omnia 7) firmwares
one for Retail Devices that are signed by "WP7_PRODUCT" and one for Developer Devices - signed by "WP7_ENGINEER"
For Focus me dont have any "WP7_PRODUCT" signed firmwares, so i am not sure if that one me put online today (signed by "WP7_ENGINEER") are suitable for Retail Phones that AT&T sells.
So its about to check all and get the best from this....its better to have something that nothing (some people will be VERY happy to see even maybe not flashable ROM)...
where did you find this ROM? do you have the other one also?!
He already said he doesn't have the WP7_PRODUCT release.
BTW, thanks, if this is the real thing it will make a lot of people happy!
you are right.. excuse me.. do you think is possible to alter or tweak few things on this one and make it workable to the retail devices as well?
The rom loader appears to be for a different phone. I tried using the demo mode rom loader to load these rom files, as each tmp file corresponded with one of these rom files, but when i replaced the demo rom files with the legitimate rom files it would not move forward with the flash. Perhaps someone will figure it out.

Thanks but did not work, Its not the Retail Rom wish if u could find one. Thanks again

How can you say the rom is not retail... the loader surely is not, as it is looking for an SPH-i350 when it should be looking for the focus (SPH-i917)
If I was a little better with ollydbg id already have a solution but I am not very good with disassembly.
the rom is clearly not retail, but it is for this phone, and i would not mind testing it, as i do not use my focus for service right now, just my epic 4g
so probably what we need is someone to change the loader? could be a good idea to post this thread in a less specific forum as maybe someone should be able to do that..

M dying to get Samsung Focus ROm
Guys my problem is I have a samsung focus which was unlocked with a code. i was on 7004 and i used Chevron Updater to update it by mistake I chose UK instead of US and now though the Phone has got the NODO update and works well but I can't open few applications like Phone(call), Text, Email etc and those applications are just crashing the moment i click them.
and worst thing is I can't connect it to ZUNE because the initial setup can't be completed (the setup of accepting terms and opening LIVE ID) and the ZUNE says that "PHONE SETUP INCOMPLETE"
Plese let me know if there is any way to connect the phone to zune so that i can update it through zune
first of all please read the rules, secondly, do not double or cross post ( this is the same with most forum), and lastly post in the right thread.
back to the subject, apart from this rom, has there been a non branded rom available, the last time i was gonna buy a i917 from expansys hk, i did remember that the phone boot up without the at&t logo, does this mean the f/w is non branded or simply the logo was just removed.
No there is no Samsung FOcus Rom (Retail) available on net!!!!!!!!!!
I can confirm that this rom does in fact work. Not all devices are recognised (I suspect the update tool looks for a developer device). But on a recognised device that I tested, this worked flawlessly and successfully reflashed the device to 7.0.7390.0
For those that want to force the rom to your phone, you may want to try the command line "UpdateWP" found under Program Files\Zune. Note, I haven't tested this method.
what application did u use to flash the focus as the one with it reports error..
Anyway thanks for hopes

Are you saying you used the attachment in the beginning of this thread to flash a samsung focus of yours? And if that is what I am to believe, was this phone to your knowledge a special model, or a model meant to be used as a dev device?
Hello all, I'm new to this forum, and new to Android. However I recently purchased the just released Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
I want to root the device, but so far am a bit leary to try anything since nothing specifically states the Player device.
In any case, info is here:
Model: YP-G70
Firmware Version: 2.3.5
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-G70UEKI8-CL566269 / [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UEKI8
Thanks.
I still have yet to see anyone report a successful root with the 2.3.5 firmware, unfortunately(I'm also looking/trying to pull it off, but no luck so far).
Thanks for the reply. Guess it's just wait and see then, eh?
I guess so.
I know it wouldn't take long for a dev to figure out how to root it, but they need to find out about this device first! No one seems to know it exists.
It's a shame, because it's a really nice machine. Samsung should put more resources on advertising about this product, it's way superior to an iPod Touch in many ways.

And we just got root!! There is another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141893&page=4 that will explain how.

You should be able to use the Kies 2.0 software to reload the firmware. Not sure but I think this would work.
I have the same device as you and I rooted. it with superoneclick 2.2. Hope that helps!
Got Bricked
Need help! My Samsung Galaxy Player YP-G70, the Korean version hs only download mode on the screen everytime I plug it into the computer. I tried to update it to a gingerbread from a froyo using odin, but it got screwed up. Please help. Any tech god out there that could help me.
korean Samsung Galaxy
Hey everyone, I also have a Korean Samsung Galaxy YP-GB70 and I tried superoneclick (2.3.3) and easyroot. With superoneclick it starts off well enough but the program freezes at step 7 and is unresponsive, then I see 2 adb running in the task manager altough i dont know if this is normal. With easyroot, it runs and there are some lines that say something about not being able to copy superuser.apk and something about read only files, it reboots the galaxy player but when it restarts it's not rooted, all the drivers are installed (did it with kies) so I don't know what the problem is...help and thanks in advance
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...

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.
Let me first explain the thought process that went on before this all happened:
I wanted to stream my Spotify from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 to my smart TV via BubbleUPNP. But I couldn't do this for a number of reasons: my tablet wasn't a rooted device or running Android 4.1+ or had the Xposed framework. So I set to work trying to root my device and upgrade it to 4.1 in the process.
I used Odin to root my device and install the Xposed framework. This all went very smoothly and was impressed.
But the biggest error of all came when I tried to upgrade my Android version by Odin to about 4.1
+.
I managed to get what I thought was the correct ".tar" file. But part way through I was faced with an error message saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so I tried using Samsungs own "Kies" to recover my device. But I soon found out this would be no help because "gt-p5100 does not support initializing." so this application was useless. I then done a bit more digging around on the internet and found out that I can simply restore my device with the correct file on Odin again.
I don't quite know exactly what happened next but I'm presuming I made a ridiculously stupid error and downloaded and loaded the wrong file onto my device. My device now thinks it's a 7" "GT-P3100."
With the tablet being completely useless because the touch screen no longer works because of the confusion between the models and I cannot find the correct files to load onto Odin for it to work either, mainly because I've given up on things to even search.
I am asking this because I've tried for hours with no luck and need help restoring my tablet back to a "GT-5100" so I can then root it on Odin and upgrade the OS to 4.1+.
Please also note I could not simply upgrade my OS by going into setting/about device/etc.
I can see how this stupidity can being funny to others but my simple accident has cost me dearly and I would appreciate some help from other.
Thanks,
Mike.
Hi,
Normally flashing firmware from another device that's not yours is a brick, especially with Samsung.... But hopefully because it's another tab 2 firmware, you can fix yours. But definitely exercise caution in the future.
The place most are getting Samsung firmware, especially older models is sammobile website.
Other than that, any links I found on XDA for it are dead.
You obviously know how to flash with Odin, so try sammobile and find your correct firmware.
If you have further issues, you should ask for help in your device section, here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Okay I was worried it could be bricked, but if I managed to get an error message on an install to then be able to simply change the model with the wrong file, I hoped I could almost mess up an install to get back to that stage to then be able to completely re-install my original correct files.
Thank you I will try Sammobile. I think that might've even been where I got the wrong file from in the first place.
Thanks a lot for your reply it fills me with hope knowing there might be a way to rectify my mistake.
Howdy
Not sure where to start asking for help. Here is where I'm at :
Twrp (2.8.6?) works great... Too good
Used it to create a complete Nandroid of my original (jb) system.. I backed up everything I could see.
Installed a blisspop rom that also worked.
Decided to return to the original system .
In twrp did factory reset, advanced wipe of dalvic cache, data, and system each time.
Did restore with md5 check. 6 md5's all good, no failures
Restore from Nandroid file on ext micro sd. Everything successful. No fails reported anywhere.
Reboot. System tries to start but returns to twrp instead of booting to system. Have done this 3 times with same results.
My stock was something like UEUCOI1.
I hate to have to start over but will if that's the best I can do. If so I don't know where to proceed from here. Where to locate a stock room
Any suggestions are much appreciated,
Best regards,
Dr Dan

Ok, I have seen what you have done. You installed and did too many things at once on TWRP! If you do that you will get a bootloop or a soft-brick which is very common. If I ever got stuck I just downloaded Samsung Smart Switch for Windows.
1st: Turn off your tablet/phone.
2nd: Press More then Emergency software recovery and initialization.
3rd: Press Device initialization.
4th: Take off your cover of your tablet/phone and see the sticker for the Model Number and the Serial Number and type it in.
5th: Sit back and wait for 10 - 120 minutes and it should be done!
(Not all steps have been written down in this post. You'll see it in the Smart Switch app for Windows.)
That should do it!
Hope I helped,

Hi Jonathan,
I got the back cover off and found something that I suspect is the serial number. It is SNR32CB01G4SN. Does that seem right to you? Inside the back cover (plastic) is KIGDSW1102 504B. Regardless it never asks for a serial number.
Your instructions call for a model number. I could not find one inside the back cover. The smart switch PC app is calling for a model name. There is no place for a serial number. The app will not accept GT-N8013 in the name space nor will it accept Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.
I don't know what other info I can give it. What do you recommend?
Thanks for helping me get started,

Update :
After experimenting and pushing a bunch of buttons I was able to get it to accept the model name as GT-N8013 and the serial number as written above except that I omitted the first 2 letters (SN). The search then reported...
"'GT-N8013' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."
Looks like I'm still up the proverbial Creek. Stuck in TWRP never never land.
Thanks for trying ,

Update. Upon reading about smart switch it says it is only good for devices with android 4.3 or higher. This tablet in its last update was 4.1.2. The last rom I had (Blisspop) was 5.1.1 but I doubt samsung would accept that as valid software.
Conclusion, smart switch is a dead end. I'm hoping to make either gnoba or hyperdrive rom work but am having a hard time getting the files needed. Also cannot make Sammobile site work so I cannot get the original firmware to flash.
I'll keep swinging as long as I can.

I actually starting to think that twrp is just not the right recovery for Note 10.1. When I was trying to flash the original software it happened to me too. It just has a bug or insufficiency to install system on some roms. Here is what I did:
-Installed gnabo rom for a system base. I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU FLASH THE SAME BASED ROM WITH THE ROM YOU WANT TO FLASH.
-Wipe everything EXCEPT system.
-Flash the rom you want. In my case it was the stock rom.
Well, not a proper, solid solution but if it's working, who cares?
Hi furkey,
I also saw the gnabo room. I got 6 files...
Gnabo room v8
N801x+v6. Zip
Update-supersu-v1. 99.zip
Gt-n8013-kk-WiFi -fix .zip
Stock-gt-n8000-leaked-kk-boot.img-cwr-installer.zip (really a convoluted name?)
V8-final-fix.zip
I was unable to get the kernal. Each attempt sent me to the playstore to install Mega drive. I have it already installed and am fully subscribed but...
I wrote Mikyno (the creator of gnabo) asking for help but never heard back.
The morass of gnabo files is bewildering. I don't know what I need and don't need and how or with what tools to load them.
I'm pretty sure I need the kernal as I understand it the kernal is the interface between hardware and software. Without it and without some guidance or support from the creator I gave up.
Then I spent a couple of days trying to locate a 4.1,2 stock firmware (ready to give up on roms altogether) . There were several published but all links have expired and the posters do not respond. Sammobile requires a puzzle be solved to register. I spent several hours trying to make my tablet move a puzzle piece. No success.
Finally I gave up and reloaded the blisspop I'd installed to start this journey. It is a bit flakey at times but it's all I have. I cannot go forward and cannot go backward.
Any directions you can send my way are much appreciated.

Hello,
I too am experiencing this. I really can't throw this device away. I have even tried a stock rom from high on android. Downloaded and used odin to flash to no avail. I hope anyone will have an answer or another stock rom or anything!
Thank you!
Tony
Hi badteddy,
Perhaps we can work this out together. I'd like to try out the stock rom you have. I went to the site but was unable to search very well at all and could not find any stock roms. Can you send me a download link to it? I assume it is for the UEUCOI1 build. I think anything close should work. I also assume your tablet is the GT-N8013 Wifi only version.
Have you loaded the blisspop rom and twrp both? I have both working as advertised with a minor improvement.
Looking forward to hearing from you ,
Dan

i have not tried the blisspop rom. I believe I was using the latest twrp.
Just do what I said in the first place. It worked out for me and I have a strong feeling that it will work out for you too (well, hopefully). You can use just the main rom file, not thinking others are required too. Or you can simply flash the tab s sensation rom instead of gnabo rom. It can be found in this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/gnabo-rom-x-tab-s-feature-t3164779. Notify me if you succeed or not.
And do not forget to mention me otherwise I may not notice that you have wroten to me.

Hi Tony,
Thanks much for the links. That site has always given me grief. When I select download it simply takes me back to the same page to select download again etc. This time your 2nd link worked! Great day. I got the file, unzipped it, removed the ". Md5" extension and ran the md5 Checker. It failed. I hope you checked yours before installing it. Is there any other place I can get that file. Upon returning to the same page to dl the file again I got stuck back in the old circle I have always found myself in.
On anther note; I think furkey is stepping in to help. He wants us to try the gnabo rom. It looks good but there are 7 files needed. I don't know if furkey was referring to you or to me in his last post. I'll ask and see. I think he can easily clear the air on what is needed to load gnabo.
I also am using the latest twrp (2.8.6 I think).
I'll get back when I learn more.
Dr Dan

Just do what I said in the first place. It worked out for me and I have a strong feeling that it will work out for you too (well, hopefully).

Hi furkey,
Thanks much for stepping in. I'm assuming you mean me instead of (possibly in addition to) badteddy.
I'd never heard of the tab s rom. It looks really good. The gnabo scares me a little. My concern is you likely have flashed more support software than I. What works for you may well crash mine.
The tab s rom was given without an md5 so I can only hope I got a good download.
Once I've rebuilt my courage I'll give it a go and report back to you (and badteddy) with results.
Best regards,
Dr Dan
I don't recall a stylus on the tab s. Does this rom support the active stylus? Do you know if there is an addon that will include support of not? I'll also ask the creator but I've yet to hear back from any rom maker save the sweet lady that made the blisspop rom.... Needy blonde.

It's not a Tab S rom. It's a Note 10.1 rom with Tab S features in it like new touchwiz, file explorer and etc. Your s-pen will work on this rom.

Hi badteddy,
Perhaps we can work this out together. I'd like to try out the stock rom you have. I went to the site but was unable to search very well at all and could not find any stock roms. Can you send me a download link to it? I assume it is for the UEUCOI1 build. I think anything close should work. I also assume your tablet is the GT-N8013 Wifi only version.
Have you loaded the blisspop rom and twrp both? I have both working as advertised with a minor improvement.
Looking forward to hearing from you ,
Dan

OK. I tried out the Tab S Sensation Rom. It is outstanding. Here is a link that shows what I did,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67440486&postcount=342
Furkey recommended it and he was spot on!
I was never able to dl the link you gave but I did find the file and checksum on a different mirror. I finally got it but have no use for it as the tab s room works better than the stock.
Enjoy,
Dr Dan

You are the greatest. That rom is everything you said it would be. Wish I'd found it 2 years ago.

Update :
After experimenting and pushing a bunch of buttons I was able to get it to accept the model name as GT-N8013 and the serial number as written above except that I omitted the first 2 letters (SN). The search then reported...
"'GT-N8013' does not support initializing. Please contact our service center."
Looks like I'm still up the proverbial Creek. Stuck in TWRP never never land.
Thanks for trying ,

Update. Upon reading about smart switch it says it is only good for devices with android 4.3 or higher. This tablet in its last update was 4.1.2. The last rom I had (Blisspop) was 5.1.1 but I doubt samsung would accept that as valid software.
Conclusion, smart switch is a dead end. I'm hoping to make either gnoba or hyperdrive rom work but am having a hard time getting the files needed. Also cannot make Sammobile site work so I cannot get the original firmware to flash.
I'll keep swinging as long as I can.

Hello, drdan123,
I am Jonathan Kang, and I'm using my secondary account.
So try to use Samsung Kies because it probably supports older devices. Smart Switch is for the newer devices. I hope I helped!
