I have a 7" Galaxy Tab 2 (P-3100 I think) and I am planning on finally getting rid of it. I am on Lineage 13 right now and I want to return to stock. I would use Odin but the problem is my USB cable is dead.
What should I do? Does anyone happen to have a TWRP backup of clean stock or something? Or is there a .zip version of stock lying around somewhere that can be flashed through TWRP?

Install the Flashfire app from play store. It allows you to flash the stock rom without a pc.

That looks great. By stock rom do you mean it can flash .tar.md5 files just like Odin?

Don't unzip it ... Copy the zip to your sd card and flash it in CWM
Those roms are made in Linux which diffrentiaite between small and capital letters..
How do I un-root?

That depends on a lot of things.
Are you stock rooted, or are you running a custom ROM?
If you are stock rooted, do you have a custom recovery installed?
There are a bunch of ways to unroot. If you are stock rooted with stock recovery, you can remove SuperUser and the files associated with superuser in (going from memory) xbin.
If you have a (working) custom recovery (that you did not use ROM Manager to update) then you can simply flash the stock firmware in recovery (unzip the file from Asus 1 time).
If you have a TF101 (non-3G version) you can use NVFlash or EasyFlasher to flash back to stock in APX mode.
I am running KatKiss and CWM. I have superSU, and there is an option for "Full Unroot". Not sure if this would work, since I need stock rom. Would I do the full unroot, then just flash the stock rom? what would I do with the custom recovery then?
If I were to flash the stock rom, wouldn't it still be rooted, and also have custom recovery? I need to set it back to all stock and factory defaults

If you flash the stock ROM, it replaces recovery and unrooted as well.

Yeah, that is a good guide.
No, you don't need a microSD card so long as your recovery can see the internal storage.

That is Stock Recovery. You can only flash the currently installed version of the Stock ROM or a newer version of the stock ROM with stock recovery.

i wasn't planning on flashing any roms yet. So this is normal then? just want to make sure everything is working fine, and is at stock now.
I thought maybe it was broken, or I did something wrong, that this is showing up.
Yup, that is normal.

I've had this problem for a bit. I can't install most any apps on my Tab 2. I guess it's from an auto-update to 4.2.2?
Is it easy to downgrade? I just had to flash this ROM to get it back up and running but I'm stuck with this issue of not being able to install anything.
Can I just flash another ROM in Odin and get to an earlier version? If so, can you link me to it?
Nothing?
Go to samfirmware.com and download the 4.1.2 firmware. I believe that had app2sd. You will need Odin to flash it.
If you want KitKat with app2sd, you will need a custom recovery to install it. Just reply and tell me which way you want to go.

I can't get any of the GT-P3100 4.1.2 firmwares to download. They are all bad gateways.
Where is another place to download the 4.1.2 firmware?

Assuming that you at least have stock os on the device you can install Samsung Kies on a pc, plug the device in and use Kies to restore your os to stock.
Note: This will not hide the fact that you have altered your phone and your warranty will still be invalid.
As I am new to the forum I am unable to post a link so my recommendation is to google "reinstall stock rom kies".
Good Luck.

Hi mate
Try this
Thanks, guys.
So long story short, I deleted the system completely and I have no backup. Don't ask how or why because I was stupid. Really stupid. Flashing doesn't work , idk why. Tried it a million times and nothing. I found a thread somewhere where a guy fixed a problem like this when he used someone else's backup to restore the system, so if someone could upload system backup for my A8 (SM-A530F/DS) so I could try to fix it that way I would be really grateful.
Where you rooted do you twrp you can flash with that or use Odin for flashing.

I used the latest version of odin for flashing it fails every time. I've tried everything except using someone else's backup. That's my last hope before replacing the MB (or buying a new phone).

redownload a frsh copy of ther tar.img for your phone from sammobile.com, get a fresh download of Odin as well. I assume that Odin shows your device as COM# in the dialog box when its in download mode and connected via USB?
this is also assuming that your battery hasnt gone completely dead, in which case youll have to either perform surgery on it to remove the battery and put in one that has a charge as it requires at least a bootable recovery to charge the batt
