Ok, I've tried connecting to my Tab 2 7.0 via Kies, and it won't ever connect. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, etc. No luck.
Anyway, my Tab 2 is JB, with CWM installed. I'm currently downloading P3113UECMH2_P3113XARCMH2_XAR.zip via Sammobile.com now. Since I can't check via Kies - is this the correct file for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for USA? (My model is GT-P3113TSYXAR, with original ROM of UECLK7, so I'm assuming this is the "correct" version. Yeah, I know it doesn't really matter - but I'd like to have the "real" version for the Tab).
Can I just place the unzipped file onto the micro-SDHC card, and reflash via CWM by going into recovery mode? Or do I have to go into Odin to flash?
Does this replace the recovery area (in other words, CWM), so I have to re-install CWM?
I know it will remove my JB, and I'll have to re-JB, does it also remove the flash count? Or should i reset the flash count BEFORE flashing?
Oh, and is there a quick way to reload my apps after reflashing? Something like an app that will make a list of all the apps I have installed (and versions), and then re-install them as a batch? I've got "App Backup & Restore" loaded, and have all the .apks saved on my micro-SDHC.
When trying to use Kies make sure you disconnect the Tab from Windows down in the task bar. As long as mine is connected to Windows I can't connect with Kies.
I don't know about a manual flash but when I updated with Kies all my apps were reloaded. In any case I use Titanium Backup just in case I lose anything. I've even used TB to restore an older version of an app because I hated the update.

Hi! I am new to this forum, and I searched for all the threads related to the problem I have, but they didn't solve them, so I am posting a new thread.
I live in India, and I bought a Samsung SGS2- GT i9100 from here itself back in June 2011. I updated it to 2.3.6 back in December, and rooted it in February.
Samsung hasn't released any ICS update here, so I changed my CSC code from INU to NPL, where the ICS update had been launched. After I updated my phone to ICS 4.0.3 XWLP7 through Kies, I decided to root it. After rooting, whenever I connect my phone to Kies to restore all my data, which I backed up using Kies, I get this error message "Cannot start service on the device. Please disconnect and reconnect the device." All of my data- my contacts, messages, memos, everything, is backed up via kies, but it fails to connect my device. I really want the data back.
I believe that because of the root kies fails to detect my phone.
I am considering to flash the latest stock firmware (Gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKL1) available in my country, but I read somewhere that if I flash any firmware via odin, kies will neither upgrade my device's firmware, nor detect it.
Is there any way I can unroot my phone, or flash an original firmware but still use all the features of kies like nothing happened?
An early answer will be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance!

By 'full reset', do you mean a factory reset? I already tried that, didn't work.
I also tried unrooting using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719.
It uninstalled the superuser, but when rebooted, I still get the yellow traingle and the CWM app on my app drawer.
By the way, If I flash a stock firmware on my SGS2 using Odin, will I be able to use Kies like before, that is backup and restore my phone using kies?
Still using KIES should be possible, see http://www.dialandroid.com/2012/03/how-to-gobackuse-kies-update-after.html
Generally, I would recommend to stop using KIES for backups If you want your data back you can still try to connect your phone, go to wireless settings-> usb settings and try switching between KIES and usb storage.
What also helped in some cases is to activate debugging and then deactivate it again.
After you got your data back you can still update your firmwares without KIES.
If you have still problems with KIES you can try maybe this programm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477991

After i tried to unroot using the above method, the superuser app was uninstalled, however i still get the yellow triangle on boot, and the CWM app is still present on my app drawer. when i open it, it say superuser app not found. when i try to download the superuser app from the play store, it is unable to update the superuser binaries.
You'll forgive me I don't have a galaxy s2. What I meant was unroot back to official ics or the process that will restore your phone back to warranty conditions... (is that what Odin is for?). KIES should behave then,also,when my friend's galaxy pop isn't recognised he turns on and off debugging and it works.

I first flashed the official gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKL1 on my phone using kies, the used the www.dialandroid.com link to enable using kies. then i restored my messages and contacts from the backup. then i changed csc code and updated to XWLP7 ICS 4.0.3 firmware. Now I have my contacts and messages back, and everything is working perfectly. I still haven't rooted it again yet, should I do it?
And another thing, now news started coming up that the new SGS2 gt i9100 handsets, which were imported in April 2012 have ICS 4.0.3 preloaded (links- http://bit.ly/Kih0tL , http://bit.ly/K5sQY6 and http://bit.ly/Kb96m2).
The new firmware which comes preloaded is the same build, and has same baseband version, PDA, CSC and PHONE codes, so is the firmware I am currently running, which I installed using Nepal (NPL) CSC official, and do I still have my warranty?
P.S. After updating for the second time, all my contacts and messages were there thankfully, but when I connected it back to Kies, the same error message of 'Cannot start service on device. Please disconnect and reconnect.' appears.

Hi,
You could try this:
- open kies, connect phone to the computer (ignore kies for now)
- while the phone is connected power off your phone by pressing 10s on the power button, and after this power it back on without disconnecting.
- kies should now see your phone
If you have the yellow triangle displayed or the hardware counter incremented chances are your warranty is void. However you can flash a stock firmware and use a USB jig to reset your counter (you might need to flash another bootloader though, Samsung fixed the latest bootloaders to ignore the jig).
Cheers,
Stefan.
P.S.: if this helped please use thanks.
(sorry for the late reply, was out of town for some days )
thank you all for your help!
I finally cracked it, and ICS was officially launched in India!
I changed my csc code back to INU, reflashed GB 2.3.6 XWKL1, and used this (http://www.dialandroid.com/2012/03/how-to-gobackuse-kies-update-after.html) method to get kies to recognize my phone. then i updated to the official Indian one with kies, and now everything works fine! Thanks once again!
I own a GT-P6200L and upgraded to the Samsung GT-P6200 Austrian ICS via Odin. Everything including wi-fi works well except for the occasional random reboot.
I've connected to Kies to see what would happen and it says that my unit "cannot be upgraded via Kies", so it doesn't like my upgrade via Odin.
What happens if I need to "factory reset" for any reason? How about if an "official" upgrade comes for my 6200L? Can I factory reset and then upgrade? Or should I just leave well enough alone?
If you would like to make a "factory reset"there are no problems..... Finally, in order to be able to update without problems with the tool journal Samsung there is a requirement that many neglect themselves and to which do not lend themselves never attention.
Kies allows you to install updates only if the firmware currently installed on the device coincides with the one provided for your Product Code...Another fundamental element in order to complete the procedure for updating the Galaxy is to have a firmware entirely original.
If you have on your phone a test version, root permissions enabled or a modified kernel installed (e.s. , CF-Root) will be unable to update.
Kies in fact, in these cases will not be able to recognize the correct version of the software installed on the Galaxy.

Thanks for your response. Why do I hear about folks bricking their units on a factory reset? Is it just rooted machines only? Because I have not rooted, simply upgraded to the "incorrect" version of ICS...
I performed a factory reset and I have not bricking my tablet......ICS 4.0.4
I wonder if samsung really detects if we have control of root permissions or if it marks our firmware as "dirty“ after manual flashing any kind of zip package using recovery(as our method for rooting).

So, you had Honeycomb as standard on the tab, then you upgraded to ICS via Odin, then you did a factory reset to Honeycomb? And everything went well going back to your original Honeycomb?
Is that correct?

It will not reset the device back to Honeycomb. It just resets the device with ICS still installed.

what does it reset to? when upgrading to ICS via Odin, it kept my apps, etc. So what does it reset to?
I installed CWM 6 then tried to restore an earlier backup which only partially worked (I couldn't use Google Play anymore so wanted to go back to the beginning) and now my Transformer is currently un-usable (now stuck at "eee Pad" screen).
When I did a restore to before I started messing with it, it says it can't find the .android secure file that I apparently need and bombs the rest of the restore out. It looks as though it's hard coded to only look for a specific directory for the file so it never finds it on the Micro SD card.
Any way to get this running again?
UPDATE: Got it running, used a later backup. unfortunately that means that the Google Play store does not work. How do I fix that?

Make sure that you can log into Talk, I think it is required for Play Store to work. If you are not able to log into Talk successfully, then you may need to wipe completely with something like the Superwipe Full script from Revolution thread or formatting partitions in the CWM mounts option. I had this issue before where Talk wouldn't log me in and therefore Play Store wouldn't work properly. As far as your backup goes, there are only 2 or 3 recoveries available, this being one, that can also back up the boot area which includes the kernel. Is it possible that your old backup was one that didn't backup the kernel also?

How would I be able to determine that?
AFAICT I don't have Talk installed (I might have un-installed it at some point) so maybe I can re-install it and then play might work?

You said you went back to stock HC and Talk is part of the stock ROM, i.e. not normally uninstallable. What recovery did you use to make the HC backup? Also, you would have seen which partitions were being backed up before you allowed it and may have had to choose 'boot' along with 'system' and 'data' to get a backup that when restored would be the proper system setup, i.e. HC ROM with HC kernel, etc. If you uninstalled Talk you would have had to do it with Titanium backup or some other root app.

It is rooted and I used CWM 6 for the backups. Would finding a factory stock ROM and flashing that be my best bet then?

If you can find an nvflash version of whatever ROM you want, then that would be the best choice. You will lose your data because everything on internal will get reformatted. It requires you to be able to connect to a PC through adb and in APX mode. I used a tool from BRK (his latest I think version 8 or something) that will let you take whatever ROM or firmware you want and it will fix it up for you and nvflash it. It has the necessary drivers for the PC also and can do a custom recovery and give you root also. I did it with Asus stock ICS 9.2.1.27 and all went well. His tool applies an older recovery though which you will want to update right away to something newer. You can choose to do everything stock first including recovery and then root later when you have stuff working. Here is the link to brk's tool:

You can download the latest firmware from Asus.
Unzip it to get teh 2nd zip file from inside.
Flash that with CWM recovery. After it's done you'll be on stock, unroot with stock recovery. Just start over with the root process but you'll be up to date with the latest available ROM from Asus.
Another option is Easy Flasher.
I rooted my Galaxy Note 10.1 about a year ago. I want to bring it back to original unrooted factory settings. I assume that I need to remove the following apps:
SuperSu
SuperUser
Titanium Backup
Triangle Away
I ran the triangle away program and now when I hold down the power and volume down buttons until I get to an Odin screen, it appears that I have no counter problems, it all shows "official", which I guess is good.
I am not sure what steps I need to take next. Should I be uninstalling the above software in any particular order? After that, how do I go about getting the original stock software reloaded again? There is nothing critical on the device that I am worried about from a backup point of view and I know that I can have all of my apps recovered from Google Play.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Run TA flash stock rom via Odin and factory reset is the basics .
Check custom in download mode and in settings about device Status .
What do you mean by "TA", Titanium Backup? In any event, It appears that I was successful in removing SuperSu and all of the other root related apps and I was able to get back to the stock rom. I would, however, like to understand your approach for future reference in case I decide to root again and then need another return path back to stock.
Thanks

It maybe better to get a 10 GB free storage account on pCloud before downloading as you could then just do a transfer (much faster) and have the file on your own account.

It looks like Sam Mobile has the firmware data base working again so go to this link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/and use the firmware checker to download your file.

Hello all,
I was stupid enough to not have secured my taken pictures to OneDrive / Dropbox, but I thought a single TWRP backup (on a USB OTG) would be enough.
I was using Edgar28's XtreStoLite 2.1, and wanted to put 2.2 on the S6.
I knew v2.2 needed a new bootloader and modem to be loaded in ODIN, so I did.
Before I did that, I made the TWRP backup on the usb stick, so if anything would happen I could go back.
Well, as I usually did with my Note 4 when installing a new ROM, I completely wiped everything except for the microSD card and the USB OTG.
But at that point I forgot the S6 doesn't use the microSD so I would probably be lost of all the photo's (yes because I also forgot to set up OneDrive).
Then I realised I had to go back because I forgot about my photo's. So I put back the modem and boatloader for XtreStoLite 2.1 and loaded the TWRP backup in the restore.
I hoped it'd start right up, but it does not. It comes in a bootloop, even before the animated samsung logo.
So then I tried installing XtreStoLite 2.1 without a wipe, and the system started but I couldn't see my photo's, the were gone.
Then I loaded the original firmware via odin over the backup, and I did see the photo's, but they were all grayed out. Like they were there but you wouldn't be able to see them.
What can I do to restore the photo's from the TWRP backup? Is that even still possible or am I ****ed?
Did you set up TWRP to back up your internal memory.....I didn't realise you could.
Your best option is to connect phone to a PC and use a file recovery program to see what you can rescue.
