Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.

Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update

Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Yes ota means over the air.
Yep, most rom developers strip the bloatware from the firmware and put in all kinds of optimization.

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.
Guys update software button is not reponding in my tab settings. Anyone got solution for that?

This one is not a US firmware so that might be the problem. This did confuse me before.
I'm getting a Not Registered On Network error on my phone since I tried the official Jelly Bean update.
The IMEI seems to ave changed too and I've a serial number of 00000000
I had a look at other threads but this only happen after I did the flash - I've tried going back to stock but it seems to be there too
Theres an official jellybean update for this device? *headscratch*
I'm going to assume you flashed the update for the international variant on your d2vzw. Odin back to stock.

Did you properly backup your IMEI as described in several threads in the development section? If so, restoring your IMEI is simple.

No, there are several unofficial Jellybean roms for our phone. They are based on the T-Mobile leak from a while back. We're a ways away from an official jellybean OTA. The OP wouldn't be able to boot their phone and discover their IMEI changed/phone number reset had they flashed an international rom.

Sadly you flashed an international rom. Sorry. I thought this would be a hard brick. But since you can boot you can odin back to stock.

Its not a hard brick since he is able to boot up, but beyond that IDK. OP, when you said you tried stock and still no go, did you mean that you used Odin to flash a stock image? If not, that is your best bet.
As long as you can odin back to stock and you have a Verizon device, there is a tool in the dev sections stickies that can restore your IMEI even without a backup.
Now that u r back to stock do a search for IMEI restore on xda to restore your phone.
For future reference note that there are several GS3 variants and u can only flash the one specific to your carrier if u want to have a functional device. The international version doesn't even have the same processor.

You are correct, but I think you mean more accurate not precise
THanks for all the pointers - I'm a bit confused though and possibly I haven't given enough info...
The S3 was originally running on AP i9300xxalef CP i9300xxlef CSC 19300OJVALEC and it was rooted - I'm in Ireland so it appears to be an international phone.
I can't get a product code because when I try it gives me NOt Registered On Network
Previously when ever I tried to update it via Keis I never could and it always showed the serial as 000000000 I also think the IMEI as different.
I did try to flash it previously and it failed I but it kept working - So I wonder could the IMEI switch have come from that - as I do seem to remember the 000000000 from before I tried Jelly Bean.
If I put it back on the same AP CP and CSC would it work again - and how would I go about it?
Thnaks
Brought it back to the original firmware - and getting a no signal icon now!
I don't know of any tool for the international model's Exynos that is like the tool for the Qualcomm processor.
Everything I've seen, says in order to restore it on the Exynos processor, you need to have backed up your EFS folder. There are a couple threads in the International GS2 forum (not the GS3 forum) detailing how to repair it, but that entails you having have backed up your EFS folder.
Not sure if there is a way to fix the problem if you are able to get the IMEI number from your box or behind the battery.
Edit: I just did some googling and found there is some kind of Samsung tool for repairing it. There are a couple youtube videos that I found as well. Some tec site is claiming that once you restore to stock, you get a new EFS folder on your phone and although the information will be incorrect inside of it, you may be able to edit it. :shrug: You would have better luck in the international forums though if you have an international phone.

As usual kids, if you've rooted and put on a custom recovery or otherwise modified your ROM, DO NOT UPDATE.
And if you plan on rooting in the future, I also advise you to not update. See if the new version can be rooted with the current tools. Loki and the adb exploit have changed on some of the later versions.
LOL
Updating from 10o to 10q.
I don't have high hope seeing KK anytime soon.
Let's see.
Anyone have the radio from the update? I read that there is a new baseband...
I just got this also. Don't see much difference

Just when i was about to root and install a custom rom too....i'll see how this version is. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain AT&T background apps have been causing.
Anyone know how to turn off the auto update? I just downloaded like 750mb without realizing it. That's not cool.

Auto Download & Install
My G2 automatically downloaded this update and tried to install it, but caused a boot-loop with TWRP.
It was charging in another room so I had not accepted any requests to update, if there were any.
It is fixed, but I am angry that it downloaded and attempted to INSTALL the update on its own.
This is true!!! Only message I got was installing in 30 sec
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
the update only has the support for future updates for the g2,meaning, that it is most likely setting up for the 4.4 update. who knows when thats gonna happen though. hopefully soon
I guess this explains why my phone mysteriously booted into TWRP and i went into a bootloop while the phone was in my pocket during a meeting. I was able to fix it by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 Hope this helps anyone in need.

Well, I'm from India.. Got my phone off eBay, shipped it to a friend who brought the phone for me. I'm not sure if any retail stores still sell it. You can find one on eBay for about 200$. And if you don't mind used mint condition phones or so, they cost only about 150.. Worth every single penny IMO.
Leftovers
You won't find it in retail stores ever... Only used on Ebay or in stock leftovers (if succeed)
I bought my second Relay in http://www.gsmnation.com/ couple of monthes ago. In a brand-new condition. Now it is out of stock there but you can follow this site and check the availability regularly
i bought it trough ebay, its says new in box plus they will unlock it for free so it should be good
we'll got back to the forum when i'll get ti.
by the way if i will vhange the rom to an AOSP one will it break the factoy sim unlock?

Dude... there are plenty of new, unused Relays on eBay, im getting one next month.
well i reciveid mine and its unused and factory unlocked as promised. i also got the t-mobile sim card its like i bouht it strait from them, will find a use for it for sure.
i'm still on the stock 4.1.2 rom. the baseband is T699UVBMC5, kernal version of 3.0.31-995683,and the build number is JZO45K.T699UVBMC5.
is this the offical lastes modem/baseband that will aloow me to install the latest 4.4.4 based rom?
i already install CWMR and rooted my device but my question is
if i wil install a 4.4.4 based rom like liquidsmooth or CM11 can i roll back to the orginal rom via a simplae restore operation within TWRP?
as for now the stock rom works preety much prefect. the calls are great, the gps lock i great. no problem with any feture that i use exepet
for a random restart of the device once in a couple of days if i overload it.
i don't want all the t-mobile crap so i'm considering the alternative.

You can always go back to stock, the firmware is available on the sammobile website.. U'll have to use odin to flash it though.. As for the latest baseband and modem u're running the latest official software, so flashing over it should not be a problem. Works fine for me..
thank you all for the replies.
i will have a twrp backup and do an odin backup via: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082288
and install liquidsmooth after it.
i still prefer backuping my own phone retaher then flashin frimware from sammobile as it will probley lock my sim back.
Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

Thanks. Can you point me to where I would find some detailed instructions?
I finally traded in my unlimited data plan for the 10gb family plan because it's cheaper and they allow tethering with it.

Im aware its a hardware issue, I was just stating my experience as the op claimed it was a new update that caused it, although that is perfectly understandable as he states the service rep stated this was the issue...but how often do those service reps reall know what they are talking about lol.
As far as taking it to a store...I have spilled water on the table my phone was on...and now my water indicators are pink, so I havent taken it in cause I figured they would deny me due to water damage even tho the problem existed long before that happened

i had this update 2 days ago for me~ it forced updated/ restarted my phone and TRIED to update but FAILED
i 100% thought my phone was gona brick or boot loop and what not but it restarted fine !
I am getting the update as well now. I have delayed it but I need root and have unlocked the phone. 4.3 mk2. But I use mdl modem to access service mode.
Can I just freeze the files to prevent the update from happening?
