hi everyone i am sorry about posting here but i truly looked hard across the forum and could not find any help.
My problem is simple i have an asus nexus 7 as brand new i opened the box turned it on it states it needs to update flash pro so the process gos turn on choose language pick wifi as you must before anything else , it states flash needs update before you can do anything else, loads flash install page you lick install nothing at all happens. and there i am stuck .
please help
Please finish setup of the tablet before attempting to update flash. You can and should be able to ignore that warning till you are setup.
since Adobe has ended support for Flash Player on Android, future updates to the flash player must be sideloaded and not directly like other apps. Please follow [Guide][Flash]How to play flash video on Android 4.4 Kitkat
even though the Guide is for Nexus 5, it will work for you.
If in case you have additional questions, please post in Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting so that the right experts may be of help.

Let me first explain the thought process that went on before this all happened:
I wanted to stream my Spotify from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100 to my smart TV via BubbleUPNP. But I couldn't do this for a number of reasons: my tablet wasn't a rooted device or running Android 4.1+ or had the Xposed framework. So I set to work trying to root my device and upgrade it to 4.1 in the process.
I used Odin to root my device and install the Xposed framework. This all went very smoothly and was impressed.
But the biggest error of all came when I tried to upgrade my Android version by Odin to about 4.1
+.
I managed to get what I thought was the correct ".tar" file. But part way through I was faced with an error message saying "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" so I tried using Samsungs own "Kies" to recover my device. But I soon found out this would be no help because "gt-p5100 does not support initializing." so this application was useless. I then done a bit more digging around on the internet and found out that I can simply restore my device with the correct file on Odin again.
I don't quite know exactly what happened next but I'm presuming I made a ridiculously stupid error and downloaded and loaded the wrong file onto my device. My device now thinks it's a 7" "GT-P3100."
With the tablet being completely useless because the touch screen no longer works because of the confusion between the models and I cannot find the correct files to load onto Odin for it to work either, mainly because I've given up on things to even search.
I am asking this because I've tried for hours with no luck and need help restoring my tablet back to a "GT-5100" so I can then root it on Odin and upgrade the OS to 4.1+.
Please also note I could not simply upgrade my OS by going into setting/about device/etc.
I can see how this stupidity can being funny to others but my simple accident has cost me dearly and I would appreciate some help from other.
Thanks,
Mike.
Hi,
Normally flashing firmware from another device that's not yours is a brick, especially with Samsung.... But hopefully because it's another tab 2 firmware, you can fix yours. But definitely exercise caution in the future.
The place most are getting Samsung firmware, especially older models is sammobile website.
Other than that, any links I found on XDA for it are dead.
You obviously know how to flash with Odin, so try sammobile and find your correct firmware.
If you have further issues, you should ask for help in your device section, here,
> Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 > Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
Okay I was worried it could be bricked, but if I managed to get an error message on an install to then be able to simply change the model with the wrong file, I hoped I could almost mess up an install to get back to that stage to then be able to completely re-install my original correct files.
Thank you I will try Sammobile. I think that might've even been where I got the wrong file from in the first place.
Thanks a lot for your reply it fills me with hope knowing there might be a way to rectify my mistake.
Hi!
I really need help with this one (Not much sleep has been had). I'll start at the beginning...
After owning my Nexus 5 for about a year, I did all I could with an unrooted phone. I wanted more, so I rooted it (Successfully on Android 5.0.1). Then I wanted to do a dual boot. Ended up going for MultiROM manager installed from the play store.
Long story short, the phone wouldn't boot back into stock Android OS, tried to remove MultiROM manager from recovery mode... and managed to format the entire disk...
Every guide I follow, I get stuck on getting my device to be recognised by adb. (I've installed Java JDK, Android Studio and all relevant SDK packages... i think, but worth a check)
Fastboot works fine however.
Is there another way that will work in my situation, I can't have been to only one to do this!?
Thanks in advance for any help!!

I have a 2012 nexus 7 (the old one with only one camera) I rooted it right after I bought it in 2012 and put cyanogenmod 10 on it. I decided it was time to update my cyanogenmod to 12. Everything went well at first. I was trying to download Google play and it tried to restart but never did (4 hours later). Now when I boot into recovery it says it has no OS?!?!?!
Is this thing a isles paperweight now? Is there anything I can do to get it up and running again? I was thinking if I could find an OS I might be able to download it to a PC then load it on to the tablet and install it. Where would I find a OS I can download without a million hoops to jump through?
Thank you in advance for any help I might get.

Hi XDA Community!
I can find information to about almost single topic, but the big problem is, i dont know where exactly to start with and the correct order of all of these steps.
What i wanna do is, like on a pc, format the whole phone, delete everything and set up a custom rom and root the phone.
My first step was trying to root it because i dont know if the root is related to the OS or to the phone kernel.....
I tried the CF-Autoroot procedure from XDA-Forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803 but i experience the same issue as many other users. When i click start the process starts, but gets stuck immediately when it comes to the imaging step. Then i get no response from my phone or Odin anymore, the bar wont process for hours.
I tried different USB ports, same result. But i can exchange data from phone OS to pc via USB without problems !
So im kind of thrown back now and i dont know what to do or where to start. Can anyone help me ?
5 Years ago i cooked a rom for my Sony Xperia X1 and put it on my phone without any problems lol, and now with Samsung i get only problems.....

Hey people,
I have a big problem and I am a big noob what contains to software, hardware is my thing.
Lets get straight to the point......
I have rooted my device(Kingzone K2) with Kingroot on Android lolipop 5.1.
the first time i tried to root it would not work because my phone had a unknown version of android or something like that, so i reported that to kingroot and a month later they made it possible to root on my device.
now I have rooted my device but I started up my phone and all of a sudden my phone was reset to factory setting.
I thought it would have been a accident with android devicemanager.
And up following I wanted to download apps and stuff but it gave me the error that Android.procces.media was stopped.
And the apps wont download I tried everything to download them, also camera and gallery wont work for the same reason.
So can someone please help me with this problem.......
Thanks.
