Hi there,
Long time lurker, first time poster and overall Newb.
I was wondering if anyone could please provide concise instructions on How to restore my phone to stock Galaxy 3 2.2 Firmware.
I have it Rooted (via super one click), OC3 Mod 2.6.32.9 and Kyorarom Infinity (v0.4.1 JPU) currently and am having major issues with stability.
Yet How can I restore it to Factory so that Kies recognises it?
Ive tried the hard reset with the button pressing but it just loops back to oc3 mod. Do i need to "unflash" it somehow or reflash it to a base package?
Please Help.
Regards
Take a look at the stock ROMs here & download suitable one for your region.
BTW, you should have posted in the Q&A subforum.
Yep cheers, ill give that a crack, and copy that on posting elsewhere. tyvm
Hi guys. The link provided above seems to be broken, well the links embedded in them are broken. Can anyone advise me, which stock firmware i need for a Samsung Galaxy 3 bought in New Zealand, and provide an active link?
Thanks a bunch
look over here
Is there a way to tell, which firmware i need as stock from the above link, by looking at my phone physically? Or checking somewhere in settings? Im guessing its region should be North America...
physically theres no chance given
just use the settings -> scroll down -> telephone info
you see the versions here

flashing any of these will allow you to connect to KIES, that will tell you if you need another version

KIES:
in my former days I had the thought that KIES is really necessary and tried a lot of eclair FW versions from the link above (samfirmware), but none of them established a succesful connection with KIES.
Therefore I upgraded manually with ODIN and uninstalled KIES.
I dont miss a thing until now.
Good luck in finding a fw which connects with KIES.
I read anywhere that XXJG1 or XXJG7 is one the rare fw which could establish a KIES connection. Maybe I am wrong...
A feedback from anyone which of the fw versions can connect to KIES would be very helpfulin this topic.
Cheers

Can anyone help me, I need to know how much GT-p3110 is compatible with GT-3113...?
I have a need for a .opt & .pit file, for GT-p3113 8gb. I have tried other forums, but with no luck in getting a verification email from them yet, as this process has been a couple of days and still waiting. My efforts are not at an all loss, as I have found my answers there, just not able to communicate with other members there, so...?
I have found this .pit file here, and this post has mentioned that is was working on an 8gb device, but just how compatible is this .pit file...???
Here is that .pit file by the way.

Would like a bump, as I am in need of this pit file as well.
What do you need this for exactly...?
Can you just find a Stock Rom, for your device and start from there...?
Again, what is the need for a .pit file..., there may be another work around, by just installing a Stock Rom and then re-root...
Sent from my GT-P3113 using XDA Premium HD app
I've been planning on gathering enough files to make a completely full system recovery in case I mess up my GP-P3110 really bad.
I have finally encountered the factory firmware for my gTab which is has the ZTO CSC but what I really had in mind was to be prepared for even the hard bricks. When it comes to my Galaxy S GT-I9000B all I need is the original fimrware (which I already have for the gTab) and a .pit file, but I have nothing else besides the original firmware for my gTab.
I came across this page (http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3110-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96473/) where there seems to be the .pit file for the P3110, but I'm not sure if it actually does the job. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, I was wondering what else I should have in order to bring my P3110 back from the dead, since someone said something about a .opt file also. What is it?
Thanks for the time!
P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SPH-P500 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the Sprint model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 firmware.
Details:
P500VPBMB3 Stock w/ MB3 Modem
Package Includes: BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, MODEM AND CACHE ZONES
Download:
P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware
Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com
How To Flash:
BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.
Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site. We also offer repairs on a number of other issues.
27 downloads and nothing? I'd love some feedback so others can be confident in the firmware.
It´s a disease from all P31XX and P51XX useres don´t hitting the thanks button and don´t giveing feedback... maybe they don´t want any support.... (?)...
i don´t have a P51XX - i can´t give other feddback then this... sorry....
Haha it seems that way! Well thanks for your response. Nice to hear from somebody about this. For some reason the Tab 2 10.1 forum members seem to be dead but want development anyhow without any input!
There are a lot of people here in a german forum there is mostly nobody ...
i hope you get some feedback! if not: there is not problem first things that will reported are problems
Haha, how true! No news is good news right?
problem and feedback if it works...
Hi. I am pretty new here (although I have been a member for a while, I have not really been active). I do have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 inch display model P500VPBMB3. Perhaps I can try out what you are talking about if it helps me with my problem below and then I will be more than happy to give you feedback.
PROBLEM
I never really rooted a device before but I am at a loss here since the current version of Android that I have on my device is 4.1.2 . It's working OK but I run out of space very often since I only have 16GB of main memory. I would love to upgrade to 4.2.x so that I have the option of storing apps on the external SD card. I am not clear exactly what you are giving us here on your thread. If you can explain it to me and especially if it does what I am outlining above I would want done, I would love to give it a shot and then give you some feedback.
Either way thank you for helping is Sprint tablet people whether or not what you have above will help me.
Thanks

You will actually want to look into custom recovery combined with a custom ROM to enable this type of option. What I have provided here is a stock firmware (stock operating system). This is actually already what you have installed on the device.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. You seem to be a helpful sort of person. I am sorry to be so dense but I have no idea what those things are. Is there a place where I can, sort of begin from scratch to learn all about these things or can you please fully explain what I need to do here?
I get that yo said that what you are offering is what I already have. What I don't understand is what exactly what to look for. I do know that if I install the wrong thing, I can brick my device. What I don't know if how to find what I am looking for. I already tried it in the search box-that's how I got to your thread.
This is honestly a very tough section as the P500 is a rare unit that has little to no development. You are in the right sub-forum but finding any mods for your unit may not be possible at this time unfortunately.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! You can root with Kingo root and make modifications with xposed. I just have been so busy with work.
I will flash this when I have time. Now I can be more risky with flashing because I can now go back to stock ROM.

Hello, I know its been almost a year, but I tried to flash this ROM and get stuck after the tab reboots with the message "POWER RESET or UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE", is there anything I can do to restore the tab (I did not do any backup).
Thanks a bunch
Do you have the Sprint model? If so, try re-downloading it and flashing again. Afterwards, perform a factory data reset.

The tab comes from China but in the options i've seen SPH-P500 so I supposed it was a model made for Sprint.
I did flash again and reset factory but nothing changed.

That is definitely unusual though the fact it came from China. This likely is NOT the right firmware for your model. The back of the unit should have the model number. See what it says...

Indeed the back says P5110 ... Chinese devices ... Thanks a lot ! :good:
P500
Wow!! I made a mistake!! I bought this tab to have some fun rooting and installing custom roms. I should have checked the forums first to see if there was any support. Thanks for what you've provided here. I'm going to at least try to root and install xposed.
I have a sprint gtab2 10.1 that's out of contract, so i'm willing to start working on things if needed.
if we no longer need to use the Sprint data can we flash a SPH-P5100 rom for wifi only ?
resurrecting an old thread. Need to find the original firmware for sph-p500. This appears to be it, but I can't find or get the password to the .rar file. I can't find the firmware anywhere else after a TON of google searches. any help appreciated in either getting the password to the .rar file, or a different place to download the firmware.
If so, would you mind sharing the procedure? I've tried flashing the 4.4.4 firmware in 3 different computers, with Odin 3.4, 3.7 and 3.9, using several cables and several USB ports, but it always results in a <ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth) or stuck on aboot. I've done factory reset, wiped cache, turned on debugging. Lollipop sucks the battery harder than a truck stop hooker, and would love to go back to KitKat. Thanks for any help thrown my way.
Not everybody at once, people! That's what I get for buying a phone only 3 other people own. It's OK, I still love you, Edge.
I was able to downgrade as were a few others with Edges. A little searching and you'll find all the answers you're looking for.

Is your Edge from Verizon? I found information for other carriers (which I assumed would be the same procedure, obviously with the right firmware), but since my downgrade failed miserably, I want to know if anyone else with a Verizon Note Edge has been able to downgrade.

Check your PM's
Please share this info
Please share on how to roll back to kit kat on the Verizon note edge. I upgraded to lollypop and do not like the battery life and a few other things that have come about because of this upgrade. I have tried using Odin to revert back to 4.4.4 but keep getting a failed message. I would be forever great full if you could please send me or post this information.
Thanks in advance for the help!
If I am ever able, I will. Still stuck with 5.0.1.
Hi gang. FYI... In trying to help MEXICO downgrade his Edge, I sent him a PM with information I thought could be useful for downgrading his Verizon version. Apparently this was something he had already seen and was of no help to him. I have been searching for the tar files for Verizon edge kitkat to no avail. I will continue to research, but at this point I cannot offer any help as I am on AT&T. If I come across something that may be useful, I'll let you know. I encourage you all to also keep searching and share any information you might find. I'm sorry that I'm pretty much useless at this point.
Bootloader TAR File
I have managed to find a sample of the TAR file for the 915F version of the Galaxy Note Edge. I have also been able to find this thread that details what info needs to be made into the TAR file from the downloaded 4.4.4 Verizon Firmware file but I have been unable to create the TAR bootloader file correctly. I keep getting individual files in a TAR and not an MD5 in a TAR. It is a start and hopefully someone with greater knowledge of creating said TAR file can take this info and run with it.
Sample TAR file Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...15f-kitkat4-4-4bootloader-tar-unlock-t3063928
What needs to be in the TAR file:

Here is the place to download the stock firmware:

Hope this is the beginning of something that can work. Please let me know if I can be of further help.

try using a pit file with odin. im thinking it wouldnt have an error if you had the pit file.
to answer your question "what have i done?" it would seem, you changed things you didnt understand and didnt realize the consequences, resulting in a big @SS mess
dont do that
Like I said odin won't work because of unexpected partition layout.
I'm fully aware of the consequences however I will be the recipient
Of a Samsung galaxy note 4 next week so I was just experimenting
And I will definitely not be rooting that

ill just assume you dont know what a pit file is, and ill move on. good luck!
No need to assume, I'll be honest I've no idea what a pit file is or how to use one
Etc etc, however I'd be interested to learn if you can give me the basics, everybody has to start somewhere and the only way to progress is if people share the knowledge,
So what do you know that can help me??

go to your devices forum where the return to stock post is, and see if there is a pit file for whatever version you have. if not, try a search for pit over your general and q&a forums. im sure you will find some, just need to match them to the stock files.
on odin, there is a pit box, check it and link your pit file.
I'd just like to let you know I have managed to sort my phone out
I got a clockwork mod ,and now I'm using something called CyanogenMod
I'm not quite sure how I have managed to achieve this but I have my WiFi connected
to my phone again, Odin is installed and working with no unexpected partition layout
Problems, however my SD card won't mount and I can't seem to get Google playstore
But for now its a small price to pay considering where I was this afternoon. I think I've done well
