I decided not to throw away my Note 10.1 GT-N8000 because of its quadcore 1.4GHZ (or whatever. i found that in a spec video) I have the custom ZIP. Odin didnt work as the ZIP to TAR converters didnt support more then 300mb but my ZIP was 512. Did I get the wrong ZIP? I'm flashing it V.I.A Android Recovery. because it is hard as HELL to unlock this bootloader. especily when download links are outdated. Basically I just flash ZIP. reboots as normal. Is there a recommended ZIP to flash?
Odin works for stock firmware .
Custom Recovery TWRP or Philz is required to flash zips .

Hi folks! It has been a while since I have been on this forum; and I have a question about how to update from 4.1.2. to 4.2.2.
The process is not quite clear to me. Can I just download the Asus Firmware and flash through existing TWRP recovery (4.1.2 version)? Do I have to flash a kernel and new recovery using fastboot first? I see some step-by-step guides but also a view warnings. It is a littlebit vague to me what to do.Can anyone guide me through the process please?
I am on Hydro 7 but looking to update preferably to another custom 4.2.2. base rom. Tips are welcome
Best way is to download the firmware from asus website extract it (theres a zip inside the zip) and flash it with twrp, this will get rid of twrp so after the first boot find the approprate version of twrp and reflash it with fastboot, from there you can flash custom roms/ kernels at will
goodluck
I'm not sure if twrp will work. My upgrade path was to use fastboot the official zip from the Asus website, then fastboot twrp. Be careful which version of twrp you fastboot because it will cause a brick. I think twrp-2.5-4.2 should work for the US version for the official blob from the Asus website. For the WW version of the blob I used twrp version 2.4-4.2 successfully. Good luck!

Hi
I'm also still running 4.1.1 on my TF300TG (WW-version).
The bootloader is unlocked with the asus-tool, cwm-recovery (CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.3) flashed with fastboot and the system is rooted with supersu.
Now i want to update to 4.2.1 but it won't work. neither with the SOP for manual update nor from cwm-recovery.
From what i found it should work like this:
- download the 4.2.1 (10.6.2.6) rom file from the asus website
- extract the zip (once)
- open the second zip and open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
- delete everything except "assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));
set_progress(1.000000);"
- save file and save the zip
- put zip on sdcard and install from cwm-recovery
can someone tell me, if this is correct? or if i should only flash the blob with fastboot?
any help is appreciated!
thx!
in an attempt to install lollipop, I flashed Android Andi's Philz recovery. I read in one of the posts how he mixed p3100 and p3110 files. Now my recovery only read p3110 files. What is the solution?

try to re flash stock rom, then the recovery will be back to stock recovery, then reflash root and custom recovery by odin/heimdall.
P.S.: By the way, wrong post place, it will be in Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section
Is there any other way to do it?
Can I force flash CWM or TWRP to replace Philz?
Find proper recovery zip and flash using Philz recovery, if not use Odin with proper Odin file (TAR? I think ) .
You can use one recovery to flash another.
Pp.
Or force to flash proper recovery via Mobile Odin. .Tar recovery file is what you need. And of course Mobile Odin and root access.

Hey im sure that this is my fault. But i odined back to mk3 on my p3113 (tab 2 7.0) and rooted with cf auto root. Worked fine i have root. Flashed android andis twrp 2.8.7.2. Im able to boot into twrp but everytime i flash a zip the recovery just restarts. Then i tried philz touch and after flashing zip it fails and says (bad). Ive tried multiple zips. I could use some advice. Thanks
Update; Ive found that after odin my device is saying when failing to flash that device is expressorf rather than expressowifi. Thinking thats the issue, having trouble finding any other odin package. Could someone direct me to the usa package or tell me what im doing wrong. Also build prop says correct expresaowifi
Sigh.. 12 hours later... Im a dumbass. P3110 and P3100. Mixed up the files
I had some issues with ROMs, so managed to revert back to stock. Now using TWRP, but only after trying with CWM, all ROMS get error 7, "can't install this package on top of incompatible data", and CWM said something about it being the wrong firmware for a "note4" or something.
I don't know what to do, can you flash roms through ODIN? Please note this is an N8010
Thanks for your help
NOTE 4 suggests you are flashing a wrong file for another model .
TWRP CWM and Philz Recovery and High On Android recovery work on N8010 tested all within the last month .
can you flash roms through ODIN? >> Custom roms no only stock tar files .
I've tried the CM 11, the CM 12 and Android revolution ROM, all supposedly work with the N8010. Revolution Rom was the first, installed but made a boot loop after I applied the N8010 compatibility flash. After that the file structure seemed to double - there was a new folder with all the other android directory inside it. I deleted the doubleup, but now I don't know what to do, it's back on stock.

Hello,
I have got a problem to do anything with my tablet N8010. Some time ago I flashed custom ROM Lineage 14.1 (android 7.1) using custom recovery TWRP. Everything works fine except on some bugs in the ROM. These bugs convinced me to flash good old stock Kitkat ROM. But there is a problem. My USB port is somehow broken - I bless god that it charge battery at least but data communication is dead even when using different accessories. Problem is even worse because I managed to flash stock recovery over TWRP. If I recapitulate this, I cannot flash stock ROM over odin because USB data transfer does not work. I am stuck with stock recovery which allow me to flash only Samsung signed ZIPs.
The target is to either root Lineage ROM or get back custom recovery somehow.
What i have tried already:
LineageOS - addonsu-arm-signed.zip
This ZIP should be flashed through custom recovery to achieve ROOT access but thanks it is unusable unfortunately thanks of absence of Samsung's signature
All kind of ONE-CLICK-ROOT-APPS
Since i cannot root device through USB cable I have to use applications to try to reach root state. I have tried most common apps for this kind of purpose but non of these worked.
Ideas to solve this kind of problem
ADB-ROOT option in LineageOS
I can enable ADB-ROOT access in developers settings. I know there is a way of connecting to ADB via Wi-Fi. This I have tried already and I was successful.
Questions:
Will the Wi-Fi connection persist event when going to bootloader?
Is it possible to flash custom recovery at least from booted Android through ADB?
Is there any other way to flash or root recovery not from bootloader?
Use stock TAR.MD5 file
I managed to get all IMG files from stock firmware .md5 file but is it useful somehow? Can i just put them into ZIP archive and flash it through stock recovery or ADB-ROOT?
Prepare ZIP for stock RECOVERY
I would either need custom recovery ZIP (not IMG or tAR.MD5 file) to flash it through stock recovery or create / change / delete some attributes in ZIP file to be able to pass the signature verification of stock RECOVERY
This is my situation. External SD and Wi-Fi are only friend of mine in this situation and I am asking you kindly if I am stuck with ROM I have or if I have a chance to resolve the issue and flash stock ROM.
Thank you
Have a look and see if Mobile Odin or Flashfire work on this tablet .

Since i am stucked with stock recovery, the signature verifying fails. I does not work.
I have managed situation by following this article. Also, do not forget to type adb root before typing adb shell
