[Q] Still stuck on stock Honeycomb.. - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

Hi..
my dad bought galaxy tab p6200 a year ago and now he gave it to me and its still on stock honeycomb, but when I check for update through settings it states that there is no update available but when I connect my tab to pc via USB it does not recognize it. Even after installing samsung drivers and kies it still does not recognize my tab..
Is there any other way to update my tab???? any help would be really helpful..

You won't see the update available unless it has been released in your area or by your carrier. However you can flash 4.1.2 official from above link by using odin.

You might be able to use Mobile ODIN Pro, but I'm not sure it works with Honeycomb

I'll give that a try.. and thx
If it works can I directly flash JB over Honeycomb or I have to first flash ICS..

Yes you can flash direcetly to JB:good:

Mine also is finicky with being recognized. Make sure you're using official samsung cable, and plug into a rear usb port. Are you putting the tab into download mode?

Turning tab on with Pwr + vol down should put it into download mode then flash via Odin, if that doesn't work then I'm stumped.

If you want your PC to recognize the Sammy, First remove uninstall KIES and all old and other vendors Android drivers. HTC especially will interfere with the SAMSUNG. Make sure NOT to attach your tablet yet. Then install the latest KIES or Samsung USB drivers. After rebooting, then attach the Sammy Tablet and don;t touch anything until your PC is finished updating the drivers and your tab appears as a media device.

[Q] Phone not showing up on pc while in download mode

I have the samsung galaxy s 4g. First off it can get into download mode, with the yellow triangle. Second, It's recognized in normal mode i.e., mass storage, samsung kies, media. Odin also recognizes it in normal mode as 0:COM. Though when starting in download mode windows tries to install it but fails and says usb not recognized. Also Odin no longer shows it as 0:COM. Any suggestions?

It is not as easy as just using ODIN to flash back. Why do you think it is messed up?

The answer IS out there, I found it when I first started... But, here's the spoon:
1 Start Odin, plug in phone while it is off and battery out
2 hold the volume up/down buttons and insert battery
3 If Odin does not recognize phone then, reinstall the drivers
4 Repeat steps 1 and 2

Can you see enough of the screen to root your phone? I would recommend rooting it, downloading sgs kernel flasher, downloading a cwm kernel, flashing it, then reflashing through cwm stock gb and see if it fixes it. It might be a hardware issue though. Have yet to hear somebody say their screen stopped working after using kies.
Use the first link in my signature for detailed directions, links and downloads.
You don't need to **** with ODIN. I recommend my method. No ODIN
It's a bad download... Happened to me when I first updated to 2.3.6 via kies...

What won't let you root? SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse? I just did it today.
Make sure you are patient with it.
---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------
Just dawned on me... You need to make sure you have enabled USB Debugging Mode for SuperOneClick to work.
On the device, go to Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging

Besides samsung kies, you should also uninstall and reinstall the correct drivers from the samsung website. Also sometimes something as simple as getting a new usb cable will fix this probem. Sounds kinda dumb but ive had samsung phones that work with one cable and are not recognized by another.

I've had that cable problem too, it was due to a cheapo "charge only" USB cable that came with a free charger... lesson learned!
[Solved] Odin doesn't detect your phone. Drivers error. Blah Blah...
Folks!
Your phone BRICKED???
ODIN Doesn't detect your phone???
Shows Driver Error Code 37???
Stuck in bootloop???
Well Well!
Everything is fine.
Don't just try all the solutions online.
The problem is installation of samsung drivers over and over again is replacing the existing drivers instead of wiping them out. So, the drivers have become incompatible with your device and as well as ODIN.
The solution is very simple.
Just reinstall your operating system of pc, install drivers and then You will definitely find what the magic with the drivers.
Hope you found it helpful...

[Q] odin won't recognize my galaxy p5100

Hi guys. I have a problem since months and I couldn't find an answer. When my tablet is in download mode it 's not recognized by Odin (3.04 or 1.85). If I connect it in normal mode to my pc it works fine both with kies and pc. I tried to enable disable debug mode, enable disable mtp, I tried on several pc's with the same results. I am using the cable that came with the tablet. I have tried running odin without running kies. Please advise.
Try reinstalling the drivers if still nothing get mobile odin use that to root and flash roms

Make sure Kies isn't running at the same time as using odin too, there's a conflict between them. Which version of Odin are you using? Version 1.85 is what i use.

I have tried on several laptops (win 7 X86 and win 7 X64). On all of them I installed a fresh kies. The same problem. BTW i use the cable from the box that came with my tab.

Didn't help. I tried with and without kies. I am using odin 1.85. I begin to think there is something wrong with my android version. My tablet isn't rooted.
can't think of much more to help you, apart from delete everything off the pc. Everything!
then follow this guide without installing kies - just the smsung usb drivers. all else failing ??? that sucks!

Odin not detecting in download mode

Odin will recognize my phone when booted normaly but, when in download mode odin wont recognize my phone
I have CWM recovery 6.0.3.8 installed if it makes any difference.
Any help is appriciated, thanks
Are the drivers installed? This is usually the problem. If that is not the problem, it may be the USB Port or the USB Cable. Switching ports usually helps.

Unfortunately, i have tried both of those things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled samsung drivers from both kies and the samsung website. I have also tried switching ports with no avail. I have found out when i connect my phone in download mode in one port there will be a sound as if a device is connected but i cannot see the phone on my computer, on all other ports it will sound as if the device connected and then disconnected immediately. I have also tried using multiple versions of odin.

Yes! You hear the sound of the phone being connected. Have you checked any processes on your computer when that happens? Download Mode needs certain drivers (downloaded automatically) to be able to work with Odin.

The 1st installation method did not work, so i went on to the the 3rd however when i look on device manager my phone is listed as an Android Device>Google Galaxy Nexus ABD Interface, when i try doing step 8 my computer says the drivers are already up to date. Going on details for the driver says its from ClockworkMod(my current recovery). Might this be why Odin cannot detect my device when in download mode? And if so how would i go about fixing this? Thanks for your help by the way

Hmmm. Another option could be just flashing to stock rather than using Odin. May I ask why you want to go back to stock? Are you returning your phone? If so, flashing a stock ROM should suffice..

Well yes, im soon going to be getting a new phone in May(any suggestions?? lol). However, since flashing Cyanogen Mod 10 i have had trouble getting calls. I cannot hear when the phone is dialing and if someone picks up on the other end i dont hear anything. Also, recently texts have not been working. I have seen that I am able to send texts but not recieve them, or if i do they will take a LONG time to come through and usually i will get all the messages at once.

[Completed] HELP me unbrick my GT-I9300

Hello xda members
I have an GT-I9300 device which stucks on TWRP Recovery (teamwin logo excatly) and flashes about after 4 or 5 seconds.
No twrp options , my pc doesnt react when i plug in my phone , only download mode available and an SD Card.
Can i unbrick my phone or not ?
Hello,
Yes, you can flash your stock firmware through Odin 3.10 and fix your device. Look in the thread linked below for instructions, if the download link for your stock firmware is dead then try going to Sammobile.com and search for your stock firmware using your model number GT-I9300, download it and then follow the instructions below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
Good luck.
styno said:
Hi,
you can recover the GT-I9300 completely with Samsung's own Kies. It will ask for the serial number of the phone and will download all files needed and flash it for you.
You'll end up with a complete stock phone (but with latest modem )
Good luck!

Power the device off (pull the battery, then put the battery back in), then hold VOL DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY
Once in download mode plug into your PC. Also make sure that you have the Samsung drivers installed. Check your device manager on your PC to make sure Windows is seeing the device.
