I think this is what I needed. Just wanted to make sure I have everything when I brick my tablet and need to claim warranty. I hope the Baseband and Stock Recovery need ODIN installation and the installation steps for both are same.
I could not find out any tutorial here, how to use ODIN. If can somebody made one, bcoz there are peoples who wants to go back to stock ROM and this will help them.
Baseband
Version: P3100 DDCLK1
Android :4.1.1
Downliad link:

Stock recovery:

Firmware:

BTW: I am presently with Adi's SungSonic HD Rom:good: and it is better than CM10.1 (My experience, no offense)
@ Adi
Can you please guide me step by step flashing Stock ROM using ODIN.
I googled and know little bit of ODIN flashing..Just need to select PDA and flash it once my phone detected by ODIN.
But I have 3 diff package here..
Recovery
Baseband
Firmware
How can I flash all of these by ODIN?

Firmware is an total package that contains all elements.......including bootloader. ...
Flash it via pc Odin pc Odin. ......
Before flashing whole firmware it is recommended to flash stock recovery and kernel via mobile Odin. ....
I have provided baseband and recover separately. ....
Because some people may need only baseband and they don't want to flash everything. .....

So if I download the Firmware then I will get stock recovery and Kernel as well...Am I right?
Can you please tell me file names for those?
So after flashing Stock Recovery & Kernel...I have to flash the firmware which will again flash Stock Recovery & Kernel..
Edit: I have flashed stock firmware.

Well, I just brick ... Flashing error that's not a brick. I'm writing this is that I do not flash. And today I have written and the way it was not you that the kernel and recovery not flashing with them even though I did not do anything. system.img which I rebuild flash with no problems, but no kernel 4.3 it does not make sense.
And all that we are doing, on own fair and risk...
You should edit the OP and just replace the content with a "Please close" so no one else flashes this.

No, it is not possible, they have a different offset and the bootloader will not miss them. I was hoping that this is possible because you talked about it. But experience has shown that it isn't so.

just unlock your bootloader before flashing with sp flash, you can use third party tools like this cannot attach link here it will be removed, go on google and search for mtk client tool.
just power off your mobile, click driver install button
, then click unlock bootloader then connect your phone...
after unlocking bootloader error will disappear.

you dont need to unlock the bootloader if your just going to flash a partition or the whole rom if the error still occur then you can use mtk client(terminal version and gui version) the tool will let you flash a partition and the whole rom without error

Also I never found GUI version of mtk client tool that can flash partitions , ..
And cmd ones not user friendly.

I have unlocked the bootloader using MTK client tool
But
Can I flash a stock rom using sp flash tool without getting " please find *-verified.img" or disable secure boot " error ?
+ also , can I flash a patched boot.img by Magick with the whole rom
And why I don't flash the preloaded with the other files ?????

first of all yes you can flash the whole rom without getting the error that you mentioned if you will do a clean flash ( i assume that you know what is clean flash ) base on my experience flashing the whole rom while the old rom is still in the phone will result to the error that you mentioned but this depend in the device though but mostly there is always an error if you do that, second yes probably you can flash the patched_boot.img along with the whole rom but i never tried that before but to be sure you need to flash the patched_boot.img if your going to root your phone if you dont want to get some error, third if you do a clean flash then you flash the whole rom along with it you defenitly get the error that you mentioned for some reason i think when you flash the preloader along with other files it will create a conflict resulting to that error thats why if ever you want to flash a rom always flash the preloader first or flash it last after you flash the whole partition.
1- the error was in md1.img file
2- brooooo , my phone is in security patch a.46 and I downloaded the a.42 version so what I mean is my phone is updated to the latest but I want to downgrade it
Soo , I'll flash the opporeserve2 file but without the preloader file ( but flash it with unticking the other files)

You might need Auth bypass tool, if your phone pops up in device manager (windows) and then disconnects and pops back over and over, you need to bypass the protection with Auth bypass tool. Hope that helps

As far as I understand, you can't downgrade binary. I think now you need flash phone with original binary and Android version you had installed... but please do research as I'm not 100% sure.
If you find the way, let me know as I will attempt to flash mine again shortly.

You might have wiped your partitions, I think that's what I did with mine.
Is your error:
"Status sec imghdr type mismatch" ?
My advice, stop flashing and start trying to read / back up anything you can.
I made the mistake to go ham (crazy) with trying different things and flashing different files which broke it completely.
Take screen shots of any errors if you can.

So, how big was the file that you flashed?
If what you flashed is smaller than the partition then the old AVB0 footer from the stock recovery is there.
That wouldn't agree with the position of the new AVB0 header for TWRP.
Or maybe you're supposed to defeat AVB somewhere?

the file weighs 50 kb (I don't know what to do because it's the first time I enter the world of modding)
@gerryscottiano instead of asking this question in a new thread, it would be a better idea to ask in the thread where you got TWRP from.
Also, the TWRP image for this device is about 42MB, not 50KB.
