[Q] Another firmware question

I bought a US refurb P6210, I am in the UK.
Using Kies it doesn't state a current firmware version - is that a problem?
It also states there are no updates available - fine if true, not needing one.
How do I know what software I am using so I can get a Stock image for recovery purposes?
Android Version: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build: HTJ85B.UEKJC.P6210UEKJC
Which doesn't seem to tie up with any of these:

It looks like I have a North American firmware October 2011 version C
The guy below me has European firmware Dec 2011 version 4

I too seem to have an unknown Firmware
Model: Gt-P6210
Android: 3.2
Kernel: 2.6.36-P6210XXKL4-CL604657
[email protected]#3
Build Number: HTJ85B.XXKL4 P6210XXKL4

UEKJC to UEKL1
Has anyone succesfully flashed the full P6210UEKL1 package over the P6210UEKJC firmware?
I'm starting to think UEKJC is a very early or slightly unofficial firmware as Kies doesn't recognise it (Current firmware version: BLANK) and the OTA never finds any updates.
This seems to be the firmware coming on the US refurb units from Digigood on eBay.
I'm tempted to start from fresh and flash UEKL1 using Odin and then see if Kies and OTA start to pick up the real updates from there.
For Odin flashing would this be the right process?
1. Start Odin 1.85
2. Load P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5 into PDA section
3. Turn on P6210 with Power and Volume Down and choose Download mode
4. Hit Start on Odin
Any advice/help appreciated

Yup. That's the correct process. This should bring you back to stock. I don't know what's been done to your tab's ROM in order for KIES not to recognize it, (I'd probably need more information, but it's not at all important,) this process should give you a clean slate from which to start. Good luck!

[Q] Galaxy note 10.1 (N8000) HardBricked after failed 4.4.2 upgrade

Hello Everyone
UPDATE
So, it turns out that the Original Stock Android rom fixes my problem.
I had issues downloading this file several times and I kind of held my breath while it was installing, as I have gotten the failure message right towards the end of it all.
But the stock rom did it for me, so if anyone has a seriously bricked device and all you can do is go into ODIN mode, this might solve it for you:
I still cant link outside of XDA so, go to "World Wide Web" . TheAndroidSoul . com / ddalh1/
That is where I found the original stock rom. Download it, and keep it safe!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (N8000) and two days ago, I was running the stock Android 4.1.2 version. The ROM that I had installed has this information: (Downloaded from sammobile.com and installed via ODIN.

I then decided that I was excited about the new 4.4.2 version and decided to give it a go. So I downloaded the stock from Singapore

I got a fail from ODIN, I do not remember exactly what the problem was, but then I decided to try the Indian version

And that one did not work either. I then went on to install KIES and sure enough, it gave me the option to do a firmware update. So I tried that, but after waiting for a long time it just wouldn't install in the end.
I guess I tried to install one of the downloaded roms again, and I am not sure why, but now the tablet is more or less screwed. I can boot into ODIN mode, but I cannot flash any new roms (usually files at tz.img or nand write). I can install TWRP recovery and I have tried installing their OMNI from from inside TWRP and it installs, and the tablet will proceed to the omri ROM boot screen and then never move on from there.
I noticed inside TWRP that I can mount every partition of the internal SD card except for preload and I get E: Unable to mount error message every time I do a command in TWRP.
I can Flash CMW Touch recovery as well, but I cannot boot into recovery mode. I am trying to attach a link to youtube, showing what my tablet looks like when I try to boot it up.
Seems I cannot link to the Youtube video, that's a little annoying.
Go to youtube and in the address bar, after (.com) insert this: watch?v=YskciilkaSk&feature=youtu.be
In the video it starts from the OMNI rom boot screen which never ends
First I try just to reboot with the power button
Go to ODIN mode
Then I try to start Recovery mode and I get into TWRP
I then try to mount the preload partition, try to install the OMNI rom again, do a wipe and reboot.
I am pretty much lost. I have never had any trouble flashing a rom before, and even when I did, I could always just flash my previous rom and save the day. I am currently downloadid the stock N8000DDALH1 to try and flash that one last time.
I'll be happy to try and provide more information if needed. I have tried re-partitioning which doesn't work either. I am begging for help at this point!
Thank you for your help!

try to install the latest twrp recovery and ver. which is exactly for your device. KK always has some mess ups so its normal...
Samsung definitely can not make anything normal (any update..) that can work w/o problems and more exactly On time...so calm down its just normal again...
for root use only cfauto and dont flash any custom recovery after this if u dont wanna have headaches with extsdcard (blame KK and google for this, not samsung) although both are in competition to be the worst developer company...so just try and post your experiences here...and accept all these headaches normal (if u can) or know that all are caused because of incimpetance of many many inexperienced (roughly: dumb asses of the nowadays tech industry, that can only exaggerate stock values, w/o being able to do anything usefull in real).

[Completed] [Q] Install Lollipop on SGH-I337

I have a S4 that I am trying to upgrade to Lollipop. I tried through the AT&T Software update and keep getting "Software Update Interrupted." I remember I had rooted it quite awhile ago (towelroot)? But I am selling the phone now and just want to restore it to stock and upgrade it to lollipop. Kies says it is updated (which of course it's not). I do not have an external SD card. I did a "Factory data reset" from settings to see if that would allow me to update but it didn't. I did some reading and a lot of old Google posts said just to bring it to Best Buy. Are there any other options as those are outdated and I am doubting BB will be willing to help. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks!

Really, no one? All I need is someone to point me to the proper thread so that I can get this thing back to stock without bricking it. Someone out there has to know the thread!

Hi, xml to put for using XDA Assist. If you're rooted or made any system changes the ota will not work. You probably have to flash the nb1 tar file in Odin and start over.

Software update PDA and CSC?

Hello all! I have a rooted Galaxy Tab 4 (full details at bottom). Since I'm rooted, I can't do software updates from my tablet so I just said "Eh, whatever" and didn't worry too much about updating. However I recently downloaded Samsung Kies3 to my PC and much to my surprise, it says there's an available software update (for my tablet, not for Kies3) that I can presumably apply directly to my tablet via USB connection (see below for what appears on my PC). Problem is, I have no idea what it means. I've seen posts that show how to read a firmware number for some of this info, but where to go from there? I have no clue. What exactly am I going to be updating? Will I lose root? That's a pretty sizeable update so I'm assuming it's something big. If you could provide any info, it'd be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is it impossible to unlock A750G/DS' OEM?

I recently bought a A7 (2018) A750GN Dual-sim, but the OEM Unlock option doesn't even appear!!
I waited the 7 days period to see if the Unlock OEM option appeared, I already factory reseted it and the problem still wasn't solved.
Plz help, does anyone had this same problem and could solve it?

Crazy question, Did you go into about phone, then software information, then tap on build number until it says developer mode turned on??? if not do that and go back to settings and tap on developer mode. thats where youll find oem unlock option..

Yes! The first thing I did when I Bought the phone was enable the developer mode, but the OEM unlock option didn't even appear, it just isn't there. I was just like
But still, I waited the 7 days period ...and nothing. I did the whole date and automatic download thing and the OEM unlock option still wasn't there.
This is really frustrating. Any suggestion?

If you boot into Download Mode, what does the "KG State" show? if it's on "Prenormal" it's still locked and if the trick with the time and date change doesn't work you'll have to wait another 7 Days, also, make sure you keep your Phone connected to the Internet throughout those 7 Days.
You can also try to re-flash the Stock ROM with Odin, maybe you'll have the option there for a while.

Software update processing failed???
What can i do???
