Stock ROM - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After a long battle (don't ask) I got CM running. Along with the other stupid mistakes I made I didn't make a nandroid of the stock ROM. If I need to revert to stock, where do I find it? Googling got lots of hits but they all pointed to international versions (p5110 - I have the p5113)

My point exactly! LOL I have a GT-P5113 and I know it was identified that way even though it now says it's a 5110 in the "about" section. If I install a 5110 ROM even if it's stock it won't be back to the way it was.

Well I didn't think it was since the regions are all international but if it says GT-P5113 it is ok? I don't need warranty now but I want to be sure I can revert if I need to. Thanks!
Edit: I've tried multiple times to download this (hotfile). It gets about halfway and fails. Is there another source and which region do I select for us?
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda app-developers app

Both sites have links to Cellular South which is USA. What are you looking at? Where did you get your tab? Hotfile links are as good as they get. Are you using phone or pc to download? Downloaded well over 100 ROMs from hotfile and never had an issue yet.

Thanks I didn't know cellular south was for all USA. My tab's from Amazon. As for hotfile I'm trying to download directly to the tablet. It gets halfway and fails every time. Trying again...

Well don't let that Tab fall asleep either. Not sure what the region code is with the one from Amazon. It could be Cellular South, from Singapore, or that XAC region which is listed as N/A. Maybe by N/A Samsung is calling it unbranded. Do you remember anything dealing with branding on yours? Any info on the box?

I think I still have the box. I'll look for it tomorrow. In the meantime I did get a completed download from hotfile but it must have been corrupted. It failed the install. I'll see if I can get it on the pc tomorrow.
I installed zapblaster to try it out (made a full nandroid of my cm installation!) Wish I knew enough to help with development lol. Certain features I love in this one and others in cm10.1 that I'd combine if I was a developer.

here i started this thread not too far back http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2342136... i think its exactly what you are looking for in regards to the p5113 and stock firmware
also in regards to the zap blaster rom, i think its terrible... nothing beats the UI in 4.2.2 .... if the IR capabilities is what you are after go here and try this rom http://d-h.st/OTW its cyanogenmod 10.1 .... its not official but does have a working IR blaster. just a few minor bugs you can fix on your own.
anyways hope this helps

Did you install that hotfile with odin? First you uncompress the zip to find a md5 file inside. You install that md5 file with odin.

Yes wI tried. There is something wrong with it. I'll try another download(s) today. Maybe I'll make myself just let the whole thing until/unless I actually need warranty service. It's just frustrating!

aah... i think it is a waste of time... best if the developers jump directly to ICS... Honeycomb is just a tablet testing platform by Google and ICS is where it all comes together...
Yellow Triangle
If I install one of these ROM will appears yellow triangle at startup ??
This 3G version works with the model with Calls capabilities ??
I have this version GT-P6200L
Thanks.
If you flash this on your 6200L, it will **** it.
It is for the 6200, not the 6200L. They are NOT the same.
Thanks Acolwill.
I supose that but i want be sure.
I have problem with my Tab Plus, some system programs crash (Messages, Apps Admin for example) , the same for some of the system keyboards.
Also the Polaris does'nt work.
I need to wait the correct rom upgrade for my device.
Thanks again.

Can't Update! No Firmware Version In Kies??

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

Bricked P-6200 Advice Please

The worst has happened and it's all my fault
Having not used my Galaxy Tab for some weeks (I've been using my SGS III) I updated to the latest Brazillian ICS firmware and for a stupid reason did a factory rest which has resulted in me bricking my Tab.
I am now getting a boot loop on the screen that states it's a Galaxy Tab Plus, I can get into download mode but not recovery.
Having read a number of posts of similar problems, have tried flashing a .pit file and firmware but still no joy. It seems that it may have to be a trip to the Samsung Service Centre. Thankfully in download mode it is still showing a stock firmware with a zero counter.
Would be interested for any experiences on people who have had to return it to a service centre and whether I may get any potential problems as it was bought off ebay around 6 months ago and is the P-6200L model.
Any help is appreciated :good:
I'm not sure about this but u may try to flash cm10.. firstly download pit file and Odin then u flash the pit file.. also download cwm and cm10 then flash cm using cwm.. then wait for the device to reboot.. it works for me.. ^_^

Dude I had the same Problem. Flashed I've again with odyn and wiped everything 4-5times
I've given up... device will be sent back to service desk today for repair. Hopefully under waranty as I didn't root yet nor flashed a custom rom... I did, however, install CWM 6.0.0.8, but I guess that is not an issue (can anybody confirm?)
U need to change to stock recovery, my waranty was void and need to pay $170 due to there change to the new board.

S3 - Not registed on Network after Jelly Bean Flash

I'm getting a Not Registered On Network error on my phone since I tried the official Jelly Bean update.
The IMEI seems to ave changed too and I've a serial number of 00000000
I had a look at other threads but this only happen after I did the flash - I've tried going back to stock but it seems to be there too
Theres an official jellybean update for this device? *headscratch*
I'm going to assume you flashed the update for the international variant on your d2vzw. Odin back to stock.

In the dev section there is a tutorial on how to backup and restore your IMEI. I still *knock on wood* haven't run into that issue yet.

Did you properly backup your IMEI as described in several threads in the development section? If so, restoring your IMEI is simple.

No, there are several unofficial Jellybean roms for our phone. They are based on the T-Mobile leak from a while back. We're a ways away from an official jellybean OTA. The OP wouldn't be able to boot their phone and discover their IMEI changed/phone number reset had they flashed an international rom.

No, there are several unofficial Jellybean roms for our phone. They are based on the T-Mobile leak from a while back. We're a ways away from an official jellybean OTA. The OP wouldn't be able to boot their phone and discover their IMEI changed/phone number reset had they flashed an international rom.

Right, but if you read his post he said official, not unofficial.

Idk how I missed that smh. Well, we'll see soon enough what exactly they flashed.
OP, could you post where you got this official update from? Link? Cuz there are definitely no official Jellybean anything for our phones as of yet.

I'm getting that sinking feeling...
I tried posting the link but as I'm a new user I'm not allowed - it's the Polish update - google will lead you to it

Sadly you flashed an international rom. Sorry. I thought this would be a hard brick. But since you can boot you can odin back to stock.

Its not a hard brick since he is able to boot up, but beyond that IDK. OP, when you said you tried stock and still no go, did you mean that you used Odin to flash a stock image? If not, that is your best bet.
As long as you can odin back to stock and you have a Verizon device, there is a tool in the dev sections stickies that can restore your IMEI even without a backup.
Now that u r back to stock do a search for IMEI restore on xda to restore your phone.
For future reference note that there are several GS3 variants and u can only flash the one specific to your carrier if u want to have a functional device. The international version doesn't even have the same processor.

You are correct, but I think you mean more accurate not precise
THanks for all the pointers - I'm a bit confused though and possibly I haven't given enough info...
The S3 was originally running on AP i9300xxalef CP i9300xxlef CSC 19300OJVALEC and it was rooted - I'm in Ireland so it appears to be an international phone.
I can't get a product code because when I try it gives me NOt Registered On Network
Previously when ever I tried to update it via Keis I never could and it always showed the serial as 000000000 I also think the IMEI as different.
I did try to flash it previously and it failed I but it kept working - So I wonder could the IMEI switch have come from that - as I do seem to remember the 000000000 from before I tried Jelly Bean.
If I put it back on the same AP CP and CSC would it work again - and how would I go about it?
Thnaks
Brought it back to the original firmware - and getting a no signal icon now!
I don't know of any tool for the international model's Exynos that is like the tool for the Qualcomm processor.
Everything I've seen, says in order to restore it on the Exynos processor, you need to have backed up your EFS folder. There are a couple threads in the International GS2 forum (not the GS3 forum) detailing how to repair it, but that entails you having have backed up your EFS folder.
Not sure if there is a way to fix the problem if you are able to get the IMEI number from your box or behind the battery.
Edit: I just did some googling and found there is some kind of Samsung tool for repairing it. There are a couple youtube videos that I found as well. Some tec site is claiming that once you restore to stock, you get a new EFS folder on your phone and although the information will be incorrect inside of it, you may be able to edit it. :shrug: You would have better luck in the international forums though if you have an international phone.

Maybe you should post this NOT in the Verizon section to avoid confusion.

[Q] Note 3 need help (Canada)

So i have a Canadian Galaxy Note 3 (Sm900w8) and i decided to root it. It is the first thing i've rooted so i'm a total noob. I wanted to get rid of some of the samsung bloatware so i deleted it with some app but it wouldn't let me restore it after. Only then did i realize that i wouldn't be able to receive ota updates so i want to find out how to get it back to stock when the day comes that the next update for the note 3 comes. So i did a factory reset thinking that it would bring back the stuff i deleted which it obviously didn't. I've been told that i have to "Flash the factory image" or something like that so i've been looking for the stock firmware for my carrier but i just cant find it. My carrier is MTS ( a manitoba carrier). If someone could please tell me where to find the firmware for MTS and maybe walk me through how to flash it that would be amazing! keep in mind i'm a total noob :laugh:

Thanks for the reply! the website you gave has a bunch of firmware options but none of them are carrier specific. what exactly has to match for it to be compatible? the version of the firmware on the website matches the baseband version on my phone, is that all that needs to match?
