Mobile Odin now supports tab plus

I sent chanfire a 'dump ' of my tab+ a few hours ago and he has already added support for us just now!
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&hl=en
Mobile ODIN - Full firmware flashing straight from the device itself!Mobile ODIN is the on-device firmware flasher of choice. Just throw those firmware files on your (internal or external) SD card, start Mobile ODIN and flash away.!!! Your device must be rooted to be able to use Mobile ODIN. Check the list below to see if your device is supported !!!If you use the EverRoot option, Mobile ODIN will root the firmware while you flash it. Checking out that new leaked firmware? No reason to lose root!

Is this a "safe" method to do Odin install?
Just curious, because installing firmware via an app is not recommended, in my experience. I.e. Installing ROM via ROM manager.

Just tried it. Worked flawlessly.

Hey. I've been trying to flash ICS (official UK rom) to no avail. I have used Mobile Odin exactly like shown in all videos/guides I have come across but whenever I hit flash everything goes well except that when my GT-P6210 gets restarted it goes into Recovery Mode but that's it. It doesn't install anything. It just stays there.
I am still able to use the tablet like before. Basically, nothing is happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

One guide I saw said to clear system and I got the same result you are getting. Don't clear system, and flash will go through. You will loose CWM but retain root. This is a fantastic upgrade to the Tab Plus.

Thanks! I moved the tar.md5 file to the internal SD card and it finally worked.
I'm loving the speed and responsiveness of ICS but I'm really disappointed by the aesthetics of it. I really don't like the way the tablet looks anymore. Can't wait to find a working Jelly Bean 4.1.1 ROM without TouchWiz.

anyone know how to flash CWM using mobile odin? can give instruction?

Phone did not upgrade to ICS properly

First of all I apologize if this has been brought up before in other posts. I am in a mixture of frustration and panic right now because I tried upgrading to ICS on my Rogers SGS2 LTE, and it failed.
Using Kies, I followed the prompts, and for whatever reason it didn't finish. Now when I boot up the phone, it keeps telling me to use the recovery mode option in Kies. However, if I do try to use recovery mode, it always times out and tells me I may need to contact a Samsung service center. The computer has no problem communicating with the phone, AFAIK.
Basically, I'm here to ask what options I have. Currently, i'm trying to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 , but because the stock TAR is taking a long time to download, I'm asking if I have any other options. I would like to keep the data on my phone, but if I have to wipe it to return it to normal I'm willing to do that.
Please help.

Reboot and try again

Are you rooted? Are you running the stock recovery that came on the phone? If your rooted and have apps that are froze or your running a modded recovery like cwm you must flash back to stock or kies will not ever work

I've tried rebooting the computer I was using, and I've also tried another computer with no luck. I got the latest Kies on the other computer, connected the phone with no problem, and tried recovery mode on THAT 2nd computer, but it didn't work because it didn't recognize my recovery code that the first computer gave me.

I *think* I was rooted. I remember doing something a long time ago involving odin. I never installed Cyanogenmod or any other 3rd party roms.
I had Superuser under my apps, if that helps.
I wish I could reply sooner but this board is making me wait 5 mins between posts. Sorry. It's like I'm in the emergency room with a gunshot wound and I'm waiting for the doctor to finish his smoke break, then his coffee break, then washroom break, jesus
by CWM, I think you're asking about Clockwordmod? If so, yes, I had that on my phone. Does this mean I can't use the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 to fix my phone now? Or can I still proceed.

If you have superuser then most likely you are rooted and since you have clockworkmod especially then kies is not gonna update your phone. Your on Rodgers so you need to find the stock firmware and flash it. I'm on att or I could link you to one that would work. I got my stock firmware from Samsung website. Try going to sammobile and see if you can find the stock firmware for your phone. I'm sure since its Samsung they should have Rodgers firmware to. Download the stock firmware and flash it in Odin onto to your phone and then kies should work. If you can't find the stock firmware at sammobile then look for the stock firmware here on xda I'm sure someone on Rodgers has it....
Edit. The link up there to Odin back to stock should work. Just download the file and follow the steps in order and don't leave one out. There are no shortcuts when it comes to flashing a phone or it could be rendered useless for anything more than a paperweight. Konane is real good and would not lead anyone wrong....

Just flashed it via Kies, had to use ODIN by flashing stock, Odin wouldn't work till I rebooted my computer, then once Kies updated, I had had a error ( com.Android.phone stopped) but I cleared data and cache in 3e, then everything worked.

I just wanted to post a follow-up. I followed the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348 and it fixed me phone. Best of all, I didn't lose anything.
I would still like to get ICS on my phone. I noticed on Sammobile's site that there is a firmware for 4.04 that was released recently. Would I somehow be able to use that, combined with Odin, to get ICS on my phone? In other words, follow all the steps in the aforementioned thread, except, use this newer firmware file? Sorry I realize this may sound like a dumb noob question, but I want to make sure I do things right.
Thanks for all the help btw.

If you're back to stock and on Rogers, you should be able to update using Kies.

The thing is, when Odin fixed my phone, it didn't remove Superuser, so doesn't that mean my phone isn't stock anymore? I was expecting Odin to basically reset my phone back to factory settings, but it seems to have just reverted it back to before I tried updating to ICS with kies.

If you go into 3e or cwm if you still have it, you should be able to clear cache and data, so after that Kies should recognize it and start the download

I haven't used the stock 3e that much always just flash cwm but I would suggest that you do a factory data reset to from the recovery if 3e gives that option I've never used it so I'm not sure. But if you are still on cwm recovery kies will not ever update your phone until you put everything back stock. You must have just flashed the kernel only. Flashing just the kernel does not wipe anything you need to flash the stock firmware from sammobile in Odin and that will do a full wipe and restore everything to stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Sorry but what is 3e? The only place i see cwm mentioned is under the rom manager app, but when i launch it rom manager says i don't have a rooted device and super user can't be found. Weird thing is i see super user as an app on my phone.

Turn the phone off. Hold both volume up and volume down and hold the power button do not release the volume buttons yet. Pressing all 3 buttons when you first see the screen come on mine shows an att logo then release the power button only. The phone will then boot into either 3e stock recovery or cwm recovery
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

OK, I did what you said, and I see 3e and the option to wipe data/factory reset. So you're recommending I do this BEFORE i try to use Odin and the latest firmware for Sammobile?
Just out of curiosity, if I didn't do a reset before flashing using Odin, what would happen?

[How] to unroot samsung galaxay tab 2 7.0 P3113 Enjoy :)

how to unroot samsung galaxay tab 2 7.0 P3113 straight up without any guessing
but guess what i am not the one to be mad at or responsible if anything happens to your device
backup your data of anything
lol had to put that
making this because i was up for like almost 3 hours trying to figure out how to get this done.
first you need 3 files
the latest Jelly Bean stock
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/188869946/30f5c4d/P3113UECLK7_P3113XACCLK7_XAC.zip.html
the odin with root
http://download.chainfire.eu/256/CF...fi-espressowifiue-gtp3113.zip?retrieve_file=1
and
Triangle Away this is where i got the app from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
i put the files in order of size so you can download the files as you go
for extra guidance watch
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzydHUG7XZE
its for s3 but the concept is the exact same
I started from a stock rooted rom i backed up thats what the Triangle Away fourm said to do
Ok while rooted go install Triangle Away once installed boot in to download mode. By turning off the device and holding (Power + Vol down button).
when in download mode press up to enter it this is so you can check your flash / binary count. Once you found out boot restart by (Power + Vol up button) when fully booted
go into Triangle Away before you click reset counter make sure its the same number you saw in the download mode once matched then click the button.
Next after the stock firmware is downloaded extract the file then go back into download mode and press Vol up button to enter it connect device to Odin dont touch or look at anything just click on the left where it says pda click on the md5 file that was extracted from download then click start. Dont touch or look at device until its done because you can possible brick it while in download mode
After flashing let it reboot then skip threw set up to see if superuser is still there. if so (like mine) install Triangle Away app again check the counter. (should be on zero) now go back to download mode and reflash the stock md5 again
and now should be fully stock with no root and no binary count. Take it back to store!! lol or just enjoy stock for new OTA.

#1 this is for the Canadian version of the tab 2. you need to state that.
#2 couldn't you have uploaded this to somewhere else other than hotfile?

First of all, thank you for posting this, wealthy23!
Second, I see fix-this! said this is Canadian version of stock ROM. Is this different from the US version? If so, what's the difference and where I can find the US stock ROM?

I am not sure what he is talking about but it worked on my tab 2 which is US version and

I didnt mean to be rude but the file you uploaded is for the canadian version. I double checked on google with the build number. Theres also a US version but with a slightly different extension. Im not at home or i would upload it.

I think I found a way
The thread is a month old, so please forgive the necromancy. I haven't noted it elsewhere, so I post in hopes it will help somebody else out.
I found that this works if you flashed via CF-Auto-Root-espressowifi. In triangle away, I reset the counter. Rebooted and clicked "system modified workaround". Rebooted again. Immediately checked the status and after mauling that matter over a bit, it decided "Official" and let me update. (Or, rather, told me I was up to date) Note: probably a good idea to disable the system modified workaround before upgrading. As of yet, it still says "Offical" after disabling modified workaround & reboot, but from what I've read, it will eventually change it's mind. Hence, using this, I imagine you should be able to keep root and use Triangle Away to check for updates every so often. Not stock flashing required.
If you find these instuctions helpful, pay for the App - he deserves it.

Question if I boot into clockworkmod recovery and do a factory reset, wipe cache portions, & dalvik cache then boot into download mode and flash the stock rom will I still be rooted?

Most likely you didn't change back the recovery plus root still might show up after you flash stock rom did you flash with Odin or cwm?

[Q] Flash custom ROM on stock with dead USB port.

So I bought my Skyrocket about a year ago. It was rooted and running Embryo 3.0.
I upgraded it to Embryo 5 and even 7.
When upgrading to Embryo 7, my computer wouldn't detect the phone. I ended up deciding that the USB port on the phone was dead. So i just pu the ROM on a SD card and flashed through CWM.
Last week, I got a call and when I tired to answer it the phone froze. Upon reboot the phone got stuck on the Cymbaline logo.
I then decided to try and get it back to stock. I put it into ODIN mode and connected it to my PC. The ODIN software recognized it and i was able to flash it back to ATT stock JB.
Now Windows again fails to recognize the phone. Which is strange to me as I was able to flash through USB with ODIN.
My question is, how can I get a custom ROM such as Embryo 7 which I like a lot, onto the Skyrocket without being able to root the phone?

ByPlease try searching before posting. I found this page using the horrible search on the xda app.

I think embryo 7 has problems with the partitions getting corrupted somehow, so if you wanna be in the same boat again go ahead, but I suggest flashing something else. Does your phone still charge with a broken USB port??

It charges fine. Just when I connect it to Windows I can hear it connect, and a second later it disconnects.
It seems like a software issue though, because ODIN recognized the phone phone in Download mode. And I was able to flash to stock.
Ill have to check out some other ROMs then, I really liked Embryo.
Looks like I can put CWM back on through ODIN and then flash a ROM through CWM.

Yeah sounds like a classic hard brick. Do the sdcard method or send it in for jtag.
A lot of people seem to have issues using that method. I remember I tried it once and it didn't work. Luckily it didn't result in a brick for me. I remember invisiblek once saying that flashing bootchains is very dangerous and an easy way to brick should anything go wrong during the flash.
What I do now and recommend everyone else do is just flash one of these root-injected stock roms in ODIN, then boot up and use EZ-Unlock v1.2 to unlock bootloader then you are free to flash anything you want.
