Unlock the bootloader if you haven't yet, If you are unlocked, wipe data from TWRP.
Extract CSC.tar, BL.tar, AP.tar from the archive and flash them with Odin in the respective partitions.

Not my rom btw, and yeah it's just barebones; but you should be able to change wallpaper form gallery or google photos or just any other wallapper app. Plus, you can just install the missing apps from galaxy store if you need them.
GSI Flasher is reported to work with M31 and A51 too but again, it's not mine, so I can't post it

[Q] Need Official P6210UELA3/P6210XARLA3/P6210UELA3/P6210UELA3 (XAR) Rom

I factory reset my tab plus because I deleted some system apps which I needed. When I did the setup for the tab, the keyboard did not come up. This is because I deleted all the original keyboard apks and replaced them with a keyboard app from market. When I did the factory reset, the keyboard was deleted and the tab didnt have a keyboard to use.
Now I cant do anything (cant go into market because I cant enter wifi key, dont have any file managers installed and the tab isnt picking my sd card so I cant go into recovery and install zip from sd card!)
Im looking for an original official rom so I can restore it using kies. Kies is saying that my firmware is P6210UELA3/P6210XARLA3/P6210UELA3/P6210UELA3 (XAR)
Here is a screenshot from the about section of settings and its saying that the firmware is P6210UELA1!

Please can someone put up the correct rom or a link to it.
Many thanks
Can't you just go back to stock firmware and update again? That's where I'd start
I deleted the keyboards from the system/apps so I can use the tablet but I can only use the stock apps because I cant login to my gmail to activate market!

I understand. Have you tried flashing the stock rom with odin or hiemdall and then updating to LA3?

I would do what Vivified suggested. Go the Dev section and 'Official Firmware' post and look at post #82 (I can't post links yet since I am a noob). Flash it using ODIN and then you can use Keis to update to the latest firmware.
From one Noob to another - Make sure you use the search function and read through all the posts before you go asking for a link.
thanks. all sorted!

I found the link and downloaded the file. I extracted and it had 2 files: "P6210XARKL1_P6210UEKL1_HOME.tar.md5" and "SS_DL.dll". I am a noob also. Do I use Odin3 v1.85 to flash back to stock? I currently have a GTP6210 with CWM. I would like to get back to stock to get a keyboard that I uninstalled b4 doing a Titanium backup and before CWM backup.
Do you have any suggestions on how to pick the right files? Is there another method to get back to stock?
Many thanks,

Colors Lockscreen Theme

WORKS WITH:
Unlocked bootloders only. If you are locked pray Dan releases an unlock tool or look for the china mddleman thread.
This should work on any Moto X, running stock or a stock based ROM. It may work on an AOSP ROM as well. To verify this simply check to make sure Keygurad.apk is located in /system/priv-app/. If its there flash away.
ZIP TYPE;
The flashable zip file is vrTheme zip. Flashing it doesn't overwrite the whole Keyguard.apk, only the images ive modified.
UNDO:
Reverting back to stock should be easy peasy. Look in /storage/emulated/0/vrtheme-backup/system/priv-app and you should find your original Keyguard.apk. Simply overwrite the one in /system/priv-app change permissions and reboot.
TUTORIAL:
If anyone would like to know how to make their own lockscreen theme let me know and ill post a mini writeup.
DOWNLOADS:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44601870/Moto_X_Mods/colors_keyguard_1.1.zip
INSTALL:
Flash in TWRP
CHANGELOG:
8-11-14 - Colors_keyguard.zip - Initial Release
8-12-14 - Colors_keyguard_1.zip - added better support for AOSP ROMs. Larger unlocked activated button.
8-12-14 - Colors_keyguard_1.1.zip - Fixed the unlock normal image to fit with AOSP ROMs better.

While this modification shouldn't cause any problems, things go wrong sometimes. Flash at your own risk. I am not responsible for what you do to your phone.

Out of curiosity, are you stock or running a ROM?
Issues with stock with xposed and gravity box 4.4.4 VZW. The lockscreen disappears and home button stops working. I'll try complete stock and then the new Krypton 4.4.4 since I'm planning to switch to that.
OK. So it seems to have been a xposed module that had conflict with the mod. Works on stock 4.4.4. I love this lol

Can you post were i can download the costume rom? Above showing baidu and cant understand it its chinese
I too have a Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 smart phone, SM-G3858. The latest official ROM from Samsung (released around 2014) is Android 4.2.2 with code G3858ZMUANJ1. There are numerous problems with this ROM, including regular errors while data is connected, an inability to use the Google Store, and the browser locked to Baidu for search.
All I want is an updated ROM with fewer bugs and good English support.
Your man who started this thread has gone to great lengths to make it happen, and I'm really impressed with the effort. My plan is to try to replicate that and I will post my findings here.
Firstly, getting the ROM is no so simple. The link posted above redirects to a Chinese website. I can't post the link here to add clarity, as I'm a new member, sorry.
The #1 ROM on that page is this one: 30890. I can't post the link here to add clarity, as I'm a new member, sorry.
The ROM description can be easily translated to English using Google Translate:
"Samsung Galaxy Beam 2 (G3858) recommended long-term use of the official purity and stability
OF: youth
ROM size: 622.89MB
Android version: 4.2.2
UI Type: TouchWiz
Release Date: 2015-04-21
high-speed download
Normal download
(Please QQ login)
9.3 / 10
Comments: 22 Download: 1376 has been certified by Tencent ROM Security Alliance"
Sounds pretty good. To download you need to sign up with the QQ people, which requires giving them your mobile number so they can SMS you a login code. I'm going to start that process now and see how far along I can get. Once I have the ROM I'm also happy to re-host that file for others to download without the hassle.
hey guys.
is there any internatinal/global custom rom for this device..?
Unofrtunately Not
Sorry mate, I couldn't find one. I have the Chinese ROM and it does work (WiFi, GSM, camera, projector) but it does not have Google Apps installed, so it can't run the useful Google Apps stuff like Google Play store or Google Maps. I can side-load *.apk files without issue, but have to use 3rd party APK download sites, and I suspect some of them may not be wholesome. Otherwise, I've pretty much given up on this awesome phone due to lack of software support. Sad but true.
Download Link not Working
Hi Bro!
Your Download links not working can you please edit your download links
Hi. I realise this is an old old old thread. But if anyone still has the CWM/TWRP for this It would be a big help.
Thanks

K3 Non note question. (K30w)

By mistake I ordered a K3, not the note version.
From what I came to know is that this device is intended for the Asian market only.
The phone has really bad software, and after a bit of searching on this forum and Google I have yet to find an answer to the following questions:
Is it possible to install another rom on this phone?
Are there any out there?
Is it the same phone as the A6000 (or does it accept the same roms)?
I have rooted/installed firware on phones before.
I am sorry if I overlooked any relevant information.
Nobody?
I managed to get a custom rom working, i'll make a post in this topic to help others out.

On your current (stock) rom:
- Download all the software needed: https://ufile.io/a8497
- Enable USB Debugging after connecting it to your pc.
- Download TWRP for A6000 (unzip on your pc)
- Download K30-W_MIUI6_5.1.23_liuxingghost-0501251930-RUS-UK-MIUI.SU_v2.zip and place it on your phone's SD-card!
- Open "Boot-TWRP_A6000.bat"
- Phone will reboot into recovery
- Wipe > Advanced wipe
- Select first 4 options and wipe
- Go back to the main menu of TWRP and "install zip"
- Select the rom, and install.
After the rom is installed, the boot will take LONG to the point you will think the flashing has failed. Don't worry, it will boot, this is only the first time.
If it asks to update, don't it will fail.
OPTIONAL: After rom booted, put Google_installer.apk on your SD and run it from the file explorer, install ALL parts of the software to get play store working.
OPTIONAL: Install galleryGoogle.apk to get the standard android gallery, the one provided sucks imo.
The rom is only in chinese/enlish, but the standard software is so crappy and bloated, that this is a hell of a lot better.
After a bit of configuring I managed to get it all to proper English, and got play store working. The phone runs smoothly, and everything is working fine (even 4G).
ROM VERSION: 4.4.4 KUT84P
MIUI version 5.1.23 | Beta
I am not responsible for bricking your phone!
If anyone could provide me with a better rom I would be very happy, although this one is working fine for the moment.

Hi,
I searched a solution to run my phone correctly without ads, unwanted downloads and errors for days and your work seems to be awesome on that device. Unfortunately the link is dead now. Could you update it please ?

You may want to read through this thread, the ROM linked above is in post #25(message#25) in the thread linked below. There are also many different ROMs there that you might can use with a little bit of work to set it up.
