[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.

Need some help as a nood for my HTC One S

Hey all this will seems to be quite an odd thread to all. but its been long i have been using generic HTC one S and i know this site very well since i bought my phone 3 years ago!
Very well, I need to know some basic stuff so i can get perfect mod and upgraded without making it available for my younger brother to play with it by throwing it on wall.
So a good help will be really appreciated.
Only couple of questions:
1. Best ROM that support Indian HTC one S models.
2. Best and 100% working method to get this done successfully.
3. Any way i can backup the generic ROM and framework and get things moving ?
please don't get angry on me, just help me to get my phone renovated.
Thanks XDA

Hi there,
Im a One S user, so PM me if you need anything or reply to this thread so everyone can see
Answers:
1) This matters on opinion, but I would recommend cyanogenmod 11 (or 12.1 as Lollipop). Don't do this yet, see answer 3 to back up.
2) I would just follow my next answer here but if you need a detailed reply, reply back.
3) Unlock bootloader, quite easy, and S-OFF first, in case you lose any data. Any music/pics/etc pls transfer to pc first . Then, after S-OFF (or unlocked bootloader) install a custom recovery TWRP by getting the img file, booting to FASTBOOT mode (If you are on stock OS then go to Settings -> Power -> Uncheck fast boot (This will allow you to boot into fastboot)) .
Then, if that's all succesfull, the rest is easy . Download a new rom (like my answer 1 suggests, CM11 or CM12.1) then flash it . I highly recommend making a nandroid backup in TWRP after this is done transfer to PC. With TWRP 2.8.7.0 you can enable MTP mode in recovery, and then transfer whole TWRP folder to PC. Then, give a full wipe twice for all partition in TWRP (except for USB-OTG obviously).
Any more questions please contact me or reply to this thread, thanks.

GT-N8000 downgrade and no update.

I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks

Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!

How do I turn my VZW into a normal phone?

Hi,
A couple of years ago I bought my HTC One m8 via eBay. It did say it was a VZW one, but me not being a US citizen nor living in the US, it didn't set off any alarm for me...
And so it took me by surprise that I am unable to tether my internet connection via bluetooth nor wifi, and that VZW went the extra mile to disable the FM receiver. Further more, living outside the US, I'm still running the Kitkat version, since no OTA update can reach me
And now to my actual question - I have bought a sunshine licence and got it running but I am not sure what are the next steps. My goal is to get the regular stock ROM (perhaps still rooted), so ill be able to enjoy FM, tethering and regular updates.
I'll much appreciate your help, and though I'm sure this kind of question has already been asked, I was unable to find it.
Thanks,
Saar.

If you are on KitKat you can get S-OFF using sunshine.
If you already bought a license then you may already be S-OFF. Check in bootloader. Power down device. Then turn back on using volume down + power to check in bootloader.
If you are S-OFF you can update to latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and flash a stock rooted ROM to enable tethering.
You could flash the RUU or flash firmware + ROM.

I'm also unable to connect to the LTE network, so I'm on 3G. What should I be looking for, if I want an RUU (I'm a total noob around the whole flashing and ROMing territory... seems to me the RUU is the "safer" bet), FM, tethring, LTE, and preferably staying with Sense? I read a bit about the GPe port, but I guess it wouldn't have Sense.
I'm sorry if that's the wrong place to ask.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about LTE, as you're not on Verizon network.
but GPe ROM is great now that we have the Marshmallow firmware.
FM Radio was removed from Verizon devices, but great Devs have gotten it working again I do believe.
Anyway, IF you are S-OFF, which you haven't confirmed yet, but I am going to assume you are, as if you aren't you shouldn't have any issues getting to S-OFF (and for $25 it's very much worth it).
Ok, once you are confirmed S-OFF, you want to flash the new MM firmware.
This can be found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62734094&postcount=2
flash this one:
"6.21.605.3_FULL_firmware.zip"
You will need an SD-Card or know how to use adb - guide will be in thread I linked above.
After you are on the latest firmware, you want to fastboot flash the latest TWRP custom recovery found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2717928
Then you can flash a stock MM ROM, a GPe ROM, or a custom MM ROM.

This is because you only flashed the Marshmallow firmware, but are not on a Marshmallow ROM.
You want to hold volume up + volume down + power for about 10-15 seconds, the phone will reboot, let go of all except volume down, this will get you back into bootloader.
Now you will need to flash the TWRP custom recovery I linked to you above.
Then in TWRP recovery you will flash the Marshmallow ROM of your choice.
There are a number of great ROMs out that support Marshmallow, and I'll be kind enough to link you all of them.
Lyapota Jazz #10 Marshmallow - SENSE ROM
- Lyapota is one of the nicest and smartest Developers.
-- his MODs are found in many many ROMs, including mine, he used to put out MOD Packs, but now he releases ROMs, and they are top notch, I highly suggest one of these
Lyapota Blues #021 Marshmallow - Google Play Edition ROM
- again one of the best ROMs you can flash, this one is Google Play Edition, the one above this is Sense.
Google Play Edition Marshmallow 6.0 MRA58K.H10
- stock based ROM ported from the HTC One M8 Google Play Edition Phone with Verizon support.
Pure Stock Verizon Marshmallow ROM
- stock pure ROM made from the latest Verizon Marshmallow OTA
-- the best choice if you want something stock
ViperOne Marshmallow
- one of the most customization Sense ROMs ever made.
-- also is very stable, but this has basically every tweak you can dream or think of, worth messing around with.

I need more info, how are you flashing the ROM. is it saying successful after flashing, which ROM are you flashing? are you wiping before?
I just put the rom onto a sdcard, find the rom on sdcard in TWRP, wipe and flash.
as long as you are on the correct MM firmware, and one of the linked MM ROMs there won't be any issue.
I've tested each ROM I posted for you to make sure to run into as little issues as possible.
that or you can always flash the RUU

i read online this error has something to do with the TWRP version, so i downgraded and it went away...
any how, I tried another ROM first, (dont remember which one now) and it seemed to work. It booted, asked me a couple of questions, and then went crazy, so I wiped it.
But now i cant seem to be able to copy the lypota zip to the SD card. Windows says it seems as if the device is unplugged or unresponsive... I made sure to wipe beforehand, but no luck.

You want the latest TWRP3.0.0
If you can't figure out how to flash ROM, ID suggest running the RUU so you at least have a working device.
:good:

OK.
So I switched back to the latest TWRP, and was able to upload lyapota's ROM and flash - and finally it worked!!!!! ? I'm not sure what the problem was with previous ROMs, but I'm happy it finally worked out.
Walking to University, listening to live FM radio and being able to share my mobile data with my tablet... Finally I got what I paid for.
Thank you!

Blu C5+5 need rom.

Hi,
I have a blu studio c5+5 and I really need either a complete stock rom or custom rom.
I want to unlock it as its currently locked to my Local network provider. The current model says D880L.
If someone knows where I can possibly get an unlock code to buy that would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

I also really need this my phone is bricked.

Unlocking the D880L
The D890U works perfectly well on the D880L. In fact, I was able to unlock my phone from my local network by replacing the D880L stock ROM with the D890U stock ROM and gain access to the other sim card because the C5 + 5 is a dual sim phone. Finally, this particular phone gets errors with the MTK Droid Tool when you try to back it up and replace the IMEI number. You will have to definitely replace/ repair the IMEI number of your phone if you flash this phone with the D890U ROM. However there is another tool that I had to use to get the job done which also does not require root. It is called MTK Engineering which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
My next task is to find a suitable CWM or TWRP that I can use with this phone to create a backup.

i've gotten my hands on a pure factory stock rom for the c5+5. i went to post it but it said i didn't have enough posts to be able to post download links. Do any of you guys still need it? I know that the D890 ROM going around the internet is pre-rooted and damaged under the surface.

HEY
