You can get it from samfirmware.com
It comes bundled with the firmware files in a zip.
Cheers,
C.

I have downloaded the firmware from samfirmware only and in the bundle there is no pit file.

Hi,
I recently got my p3100.
can you give me the firmware flash file for India please.
Please i am in need of it.

Hey mainak
Just follow the guide here:
http://www.tsar3000.com/Joomla/inde...tab-2-7.0-firmware&catid=57:how-to&Itemid=104
Alternatively: Search for P3100 (login to downlaod)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
I am not 100% sure - try at your own risk - but I read that this does infact work.
Also you can use odin to flash. Check out the procedure from the first link.

Actually no need .pit file for flashing, repartition not always safe.

[Q] VERIZON Samsung Tab 2 10.1 sch-i915 Hardbrick help

I have an incident that I have accrued myself so no need for those comments. The history of the hardbrick i created. If any information regarding anything feel free.
First of all i rooted my device using towelroot. It works for alot of devices and runs as 3rd party apk installer. Created by the infamous Geohotz. Godbless. https://towelroot.com/ for those of you who do not know.
2nd i was looking and trying to swap my extSdCard with my internal /sdcard. I edited the vold.fstab and the vold.conf files thinking hey i can use the external as full internal to have the devive install apps on properly w/o manually moving and use the internal remaining sdcard memory as virtual Ram. I have not completed this process yet. Ill explain.
After mounting the internal as external and vice. I ended up being stuck in a boot loop. NOTE: i did not have custom recovery(was one of the oopsies) so was stuck with basic android recovery. Reset device did not fix. Was going to Odin flash the stock rom and/or CWM Recovery, but there is absolutely NO STOCK or LEAKED rom anywhere for the verizon model. I also pulled those 2 files off of my other tab 2 10.1 NON VERIZON *vold.fstab and vold.conf and places it into zip file and signed it using signapk.
which now i feel like an idiot finding this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/themes-apps/tutorial-making-flashable-zips-edify-t1611615"
NOTE: I used a different post somewhere that didnt explain to have the right binary so it gave me a signature mismatch error when trying to flash. Use above post to make sure you use propery binary.
Luckily i did some research and knowledge of what i actually did to fix it and plus my addiction to play around and learn things. I manually duplicated the vold.fstab/vold.conf files from my one device to the bricked one
Boot up device in Android recovery.
installed and loaded up ADB.exe from command line.
Code:
adb shell
su
echo *yourlinehere*> /system/etc/vold.fstab
echo *yourlinehere*>> /sytem/etc/vold.fstab
the first > rewrites the file from start black document and inputs the first line
the 2nd >> note the double >> appends to the next line.
i rebooted and VOILA FIXED!!! but wait....theres more ><
So knowing the troubles i had to fix my lil play around mistake. I wanted to get custom recovery partition installed. Used Rom Manager to install CWM Recovery. I picked the wrong rom for my device and flashed it. The one i used was for the international Tab 2 10.1 the gt-5100. It said it successfully flashed so i figured wth it couldnt hurt right? WRONG i clicked reboot to recovery to check it. and here is where I lie. HARD BRICK. No boot up at all. Plug in charger to outlet or PC i dont even get the charging device battery image. So now here we go more research fun!!!
I looked up some information on how to fix a hard bricked device. some posts say using a jig to bypass it and get into download mode. Ok this is a 30 pin connector not a 4 pin like most the android devices. I could do some research on this and probably rig a jig to convert and match the pin layouts but meh my problem still lies within not having stock firmware for this model. I also learn of Jtag methods. Oh all well and handy but buying the Riff Box and all this gets your device bootable, but hey guess what? it would allow me to boot into that download mode or android recovery. Which still bottom line fails as i dont have a stock rom to flash. OH the dilemna.
What ive come up with. I plugged in my device into my pc. Well what do you know i can actually get recognition. but this is where i am stuck at.
I figured out that the device is recognized and i needed drivers. I found this handy site
https://developer.qualcomm.com/forum/qdevnet-forums/general-discussion/9428 Which also explains that i messed up my boot partition.
I download and installed the QPST program and installed the drivers on win7. I had to reboot and use advanced options to disable the unsigned drivers check. OK sweet connection is up!
I tried using ADB shell but device isnt connected that way.
In the QPST program it shows my device on com10 in download mode. I tried to retrieve some data or partition information from the device but it says i cannot when device is in download mode. So no pulling files and fixing and reflashing them. Back to the same problem before NO STOCK ROM.
So here are the questions I have regarding my situation. The android device im playing with has the base partitions. As an example of this http://www.all-things-android.com/content/review-android-partition-layout
I do not have my partition layout for my device as its bricked. I dont even know if it needs to be repaired yet. If any of you with a verizon tab 2 10.1 sch-i915 has a rooted device and can get me this table or a pit file for this device it would be appreciated
2nd firmware vs firmware. As previously stated I do not have firmware for this verizon tab. HOWEVER i did find firmware for the Sprint version of this exact tablet. My question is, could these stock firmwares be exact duplicates with the exclusion of the boot up screen bs and the /misc partition containing the imei phone stats and carrier information?
3rd Flashing just certain partitions of this firmware. Is it possible if the above is feasible considering i know my /boot partition is messed up and my /recovery partition is messed up to only flash those 2 partitions with the one from sprint. The stock kernal should be the same in both devices for the /boot and the /recovery partition should hold the same android recovery should it not?
4th. If anyone has a rooted sch-i915 device would you be willing to make dump of the partitions using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045. That would be appreciated.

Let Me Work On That
You Are Possibly In Luck. I Know Somone That Has That Tablet. Problem Is It Is My Mom's And Well She Rather Beat Me With It Then Let Me Touch It. I'll See What I Can Do And Will Post Back.. Wish Me Luck i Will Need It :fingers-crossed:

Appreciated good luck.
If not possible and i get it fixed ill post how i did it and such. and also post up a JB 4.12 stock/updated leaked rom of this device which apparently seems to be missing in the world for some damn reason.

I Got A Question
Sorry I Been Busy, & Google Has Not Been Kind 2 Me. I Did Find The California Lottery Vulnerability Report Generated By Nessus. But If Someone Could Please Point Me In The Right Direction Or Just Break It Down For Me As Quickly And Light As You Could, Short, Straight Forward, The LIghtest Kliff Notes Ever Would Be Appreciated.

1) Aboot partition is basically your "Odin Downloader" protocol. while booting pressing power + Vol Dwn will put your device in this mode.
2) The kernel/ramdisk is stored in the /boot partition
Note Primary Bootloader and SB* are secondary bootloaders 1,2,3 those are loaded up as well to set certain params + setup/initialize hardware as far as im understanding. and loads up the kernel/ramdisk.
3)Ill quote from another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582811

As far as im understanding these partitions hold carrier information/imei and all other sorts of GRPS information in regards to connecting your devices radio to Service. Sorta like your network card drivers and Mac Address
I looked at another persons rom dump and I seen only these partitions in the archive. Sadly I dont remember where i found this but is from a guy who JTAGS devices. So im pretty sure its legit. Its from the Sprints version of this device.
/system.img.ext4(going to be the biggest dump)
/recovery.img
/cache.img.ext4
/boot.img

[/QUOTE]
So basicallly special request if you could is mainly dump those partitions above
This Romgen seemingly looks to dump what is needed for the rom. It also makes and update-script flashable Odin file. Never tried it myself. ive used cygwin/kitchen personally.
If you would do that would be sufficient as a stock rom. Granted if the rom is updated its not stock.....BUT at least it will be an updated stock vwz sch-i915 out there in public finally.
AND...extra special request is a pit file. Reason being is i need to attempt to flash by other means not via odin.(more personal use than general public) and i need the block information to flash partitions to the chip at the certain points. Im extracting the *.img/bin files and compiling *.mbn files and going to attempt to flash directly to the chip. As far as ive seen its worked on a few other devices and i might as well try considering this is a Qualcomm device and it is recognized in QPST. Maybe the security on the bootloader may not allow it but what could it hurt? its already hard bricked right? lol

Much appreciated ][NT3L][G3NC][ your making my day :laugh:

happy new years intelligence since it seems ur the only one to view this thread.

so did you ever get a good romdump? I have been trying all night to do it to mine but can not get it to work.

[ROOT] - lafsploit - H918 (any version up to and including 20h) - now n00b friendly

WARNING​
This should go without saying, but you MUST have your bootloader unlocked (check OEM UNLOCK in developer options AND fastboot oem unlock).
If you don't, you WILL brick your phone.
If you don't know how to FULLY unlock your bootloader -- search. This thread is not here to educate you on unlocking your bootloader.
If your bootloader isn't unlocked, you will get a RED warning that your phone has been modified, and will refuse to boot.
If your bootloader IS unlocked, your will have a YELLOW warning even if you haven't modified your phone yet, and your phone will still boot. This is normal!
If you use this on any model V20 besides the H918, you will be stuck in a bootloop, and you will not be able to fix it since you will have wiped out download mode!
There is NO fixing this!
You must be on version H91810p or H91810q
This is now completely safe. It will either work or it won't, but it can NOT brick your phone if you meet the requirements listed above, and you follow the procedure exactly.
If it DOES brick your phone, I am not responsible.
If you deviate from this procedure, and think: "I can just skip a step, or I can do this on my own Linux install". Don't complain if you brick your phone.
This ONLY replaces download mode with TWRP. If you want to root, you can search for how to root. If you don't know how to use TWRP -- search.
PREREQUISITES:
If you aren't on 10p or 10q, grab the H918 10p KDZ: here.
This is NOT a guide for flashing KDZs -- there are plenty of those out there -- search.
You need to grab FWUL (version 2.7 or later) and burn it to a USB stick: link
Even if you have Linux, and you think you can install the dependencies, don't. I know this works from FWUL.
If you choose to press on in expert mode (using FWUL in a VM, using your own Linux install, using WSL, etc), don't get upset if I don't answer your questions.
For Windows you will need Rufus to burn FWUL onto a USB stick.
If you have questions about FWUL, please ask in the FWUL thread.
Installing TWRP
Again, this will ONLY install TWRP onto download mode. What you do with TWRP when it is done is up to you. Flash Magisk or SuperSU. Flash a ROM, or just make a backup of your phone. It is up to you.
I would suggest flashing TWRP onto recovery as well, otherwise you will need to use the vol up + USB cable method to get to TWRP. There is no key combination to get to download mode.
Boot from your FWUL USB stick.
Put your phone into download mode. With the phone powered off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable. You do not need to touch the power button -- the phone will power on and enter download mode.
Once booted, login. The password is: linux
Double click the LG folder that is on the desktop
Double click on LG LAF (runningnak3d) icon and you will be at a terminal prompt.
The following are the commands that you enter into that terminal. You can copy / paste them if you like.
Code:
git pull
git checkout h918-miscwrte
./step1.sh
When you are told to, pull the USB cable, and the phone will power off. You now have TWRP on your laf partition.
It must be said again, flash TWRP onto recovery so you can easily get to TWRP.
OPTIONAL
If you would like to restore download mode onto your laf partition AFTER you have installed TWRP onto recovery:
Boot to TWRP that is on recovery
Flash this zip: laf_restore.zip
This can be done at any time after you are rooted. About the only reason you would want to flash laf back is if you use LG Backup.
TWRP has the ability to backup your phone, so I am not sure why someone would want this (maybe you are more comfortable with it?).
Also, flashing back to 100% unrooted stock can be accomplished by flashing a zip in TWRP, you don't NEED to flash a KDZ, but again, maybe you are more comfortable doing it that way.
The bottom line is TWRP on both laf and recovery is FAR FAR more useful than flashing laf back. You can test new versions of TWRP while keeping your old known working version (for example).
If you are having problems flashing a ROM, ask in the appropriate ROM thread.
If you are having problems with Magisk, ask in the Magisk thread.
If you are having problems with SuperSU, Lineage, or even TWRP itself, ask in the appropriate thread.
This thread is ONLY for problems if TWRP doesn't boot when you are done.

Congrats been following your work since day 1 man the effort paid off. Thanks one man that took on the whole lg dev team.

Will there ever be a chance for the US998 (US Cellular) ?

Awesome can't wait to build lineage for the v20! Now that I have a spare device it'll make learning a lot easier. So now I can test on my current daily driver before adding the mods to my v20 builds. I can't even begin to describe how much this means to so many of us in the community! Especially myself.
That said I'll give it a try tomorrow after work assuming I have friday off & l'll report back asap.
If installing python 3 on windows 10 will the default install settings work? Just wanted to double check. & thanks again man. Amazingly awesome work!

He is also working on the locked bootloader devices. I'll let him explain most of the details if he has the time. However if you want to read up on the progress check this thread:

Even though the US998 isn't officially unlockable yet, you can follow this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/how-to/us998-bootloader-unlock-achieved-t3743359

Thanks @dudeawsome and @Zacharee1 I fixed the link.

using the instructions provided, I'm consistently getting a usb device not found runtime error, any advice?

If you are on Windows, did you install the LG drivers?

WARNING to G5 and G6 users. I need a partition listing before you try this to make sure misc is in the same location. You can brick your phone if misc is in a different location than the V20.
I am splitting this off from the main laf thread because that thread really needs to be cleaned. It was supposed to just be for development, and now it is impossible to find some valuable info
I say this is for the H918 only, but it should work on the H830 (G5) and H872 (G6) as well. I don't have those devices, so I can't test it. The H830 has a TWRP build, but the H872 doesn't -- so someone would have to risk using the US997 build.
Anyway, if you aren't feint at heart....
Here is a much more detailed guide that @Zacharee1 put together: link.
Enjoy your now rooted H918...
If this scares anyone, I will make it easier, but for the hardcore people, I wanted to get it out there.
I will clean this up and make it prettier when I have the chance.

I am trying to download source to build twrp for the g6 but I am on my backup dsl (762kb/s) which sucks majorly.
If you are in an IRC chan I will be more then happy to join and give you access to my device remotely if need be.

on windows 10, latest insider build, all drivers installed, v20 detected in normal boot, download and fastboot modes. I'm reinstalling ubuntu just in case something weird happened with it..

What I need is the GPT -- start LBA / end LBA of misc.
You can get that by running ./partitions.py --list

So after entering Download/LAF Mode and plugging in to computer, I get the following error when running the first command in step 6 of @Zacharee1's guide:

Getting the same backend error. Trying to reinstall just throws up an already installed reply. Windows 8.1
That is, trying to run the ./ cmds and the already installed elements are pyusb and crypt

I take it you aren't on Windows 10 so you can't install Ubuntu from the app store?
I can see now why @steadfasterX pushes FWUL (a Linux VM) for things like this. WIndows is such a freaking PITA
Hopefully someone that has Windows can help you, otherwise I am going to grab FWUL tomorrow and maybe change the procedure for people that aren't on WIndows 10.
-- Brian

ok, just tried the whole procedure from start to finish exactly for the second time and am getting the same "usb device not found"
I also tried the non windows 10 method and ended up having the same issue that smtb1963 has, including the laf crypto failed to import message at the top and I do believe that when it says no backend available under usb lib, that these ar basically the same error, no usb communication. I think i am going to try this on a unbuntu virtual box install and see if I get the same error

K1 Not booting after flashing stock image

Yesterday I flashed BitO-KU kernel with dtb and blob file provided in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh.../tweaked-kernel-nvidia-shield-tablet-t3069776 on my Shield Tablet K1. Since then the problem started and my tab didn't boot.
How problem started?
Flashed BitO-KU kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/sh.../tweaked-kernel-nvidia-shield-tablet-t3069776
Reboot (working fine)
Flashed dtb file "tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb" (provided in same thread)
Reboot (stuck on bootloader)
Flashed blob file (provided in same thread)
Reboot (stuck on bootloader)
After that I flashed factory images provided on Nvidia official site for K1 Tablet but still not booting. Although many times I have successfully flashed firmware images before, but only this time it's not booting. I think that the dtb and blob files I flashed previously with BitO-KU kernel were for Original Shield Tablet not for K1, that's why my tablet bricked.
What's working and what's not:
Bootloader is working and able to flash files using fastboot. But it's niether showing any error nor booting after flashing firmware images.
Recovery Not Working. Flashed various versions of TWRP from official website, none of them is working. Even tried directly booting to twrp recovery instead of flashing, still not working.
Any help is appreciated.
Sorry for my bad English!

Did you flash the stock system file and the stock blob? I think the instructions (recovery image) say to flash a few other things (recovery, userdata) but I was able to just flash the system and blob (flashing stock recovery might not hurt either).
Also, please don't apologize for your bad English. Your post is very well written, and I never would have guessed you are not a native English speaker.

Hi @redpoint73, thanks for your response. Yes I did flash the stock system file, stock blob file and stock boot file. Still it wasn't booting.
And thanks for your compliment about my English.

Hello,
I was in a similar situation but finally managed to fix this boot issue on my K1.
What I have, Nvidia Shield Tablet K1
What I did wrong, flashed via fastboot a stock ROM image from Nvidia GameWorks - SHIELD Open Source Resources and Drivers
But not the correct one for Shield K1
I had the following steps for this recovery ROM (not for K1 tablet...):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash dtb tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb
fastboot reboot
Flashing them failed on userdata (not enough space) and results in K1 to be stuck on boot and the Nvidia logo for ages.
(For a K1 tablet, you don't have a userdata and dtb flash image steps). I think what messed up my K1 is the dtb flashing step because formating, erasing and flashing recovery, boot, system and userdata partitions didn't have any effects on being stuck at boot.
What I did to get out of this mess and what you need:
Stock ROM K1: nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-k1-factory0_0_0
fastboot + adb
twrp for K1 for revovery partitions
And know your K1 partitions
Via adb shell:
cd /etc
cat recovery.fstab
shieldtablet:/etc # cd /etc
shieldtablet:/etc # cat recovery.fstab

MAP boot, system, blob (staging) partitions with corresponding memory block
Ex: boot -> LNX -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Via adb shell and using the images from K1 ROM nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-k1-factory0_0_0 (check if your tablet k1 has the same partitions)
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12
dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16
By getting from another ROM: tegra124-tn8-p1761-1270-a04-e-battery.dtb (renamed tegra124.dtb)
dd if=tegra124.dtb of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Still failing... and stuck at boot so I decided to restore nv-recovery-image-shield-tablet-k1-factory0_0_0 via fastboot a last time but cleaned everything first:
twrp wipe all system cache data
then
fastboot flash system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot
fastboot erase staging
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot reboot
And my Shield Tablet K1 was working again!! And very happy to have my Nvidia Shield K1 back (with latest LineageOS 15.1 ROM and working like a charm)!
I did a lot of stock ROM erase / format / restore on these partitions before and they all failed before. But I thing here the main difference is around the DTB partition.
May be the dd if=tegra124.dtb of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 step did properly restore the dtb info and partition or actually "corrupt" it in a way that cause the K1 to properly boot back. I don't know.
Hope that can help someone in the same situation!

MAGISK - How do i proceed in this situation?

Phone: TCL C5 with Android 8.1
i have tested mtk-su and it works
i can make a copy of the boot partition and everything
i have unlocked the bootloader
for some reason i have 2 boot files ( or more )
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2020-12-03 16:24 boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p31
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2020-12-03 16:24 boot2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p32
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2020-12-03 16:24 boot_para -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2020-12-03 16:24 preloader_a -> /dev/block/mmcblk0boot0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2020-12-03 16:24 preloader_b -> /dev/block/mmcblk0boot1
i don't know what is going on here but i can patch boot and boot2 with magisk
the files goes from 24 MB to 7.7 MB so i think this is kinda weird
i want to know how i can make a good backup of everything before trying to flash anything
so i can prevent bootloop
and i want to know if there is any way to test the boot.img before flashing it
if not i would like some help to backup everything before flashing it
i patch the boot.img and try doing "fastboot boot boot.img"
but the magisk manager doesn't show installed or anything so i don't think "fastboot boot" works in this situation
is there anything i can do to be sure before flashing?
Update: seems like i only need boot and boot2
maybe patching both and flashing it?
seems a little risky, they both are the same file with the same md5sum hash
