THIS IS THE EUROPEAN FIRMWARE, there is also a asian one but I don't have the time to search for it now. But because you are flashing later anyway the custom firmware this shouldn't make a difference.
Instruction
1. Go into the Download mode as instructed on top. As soon as the screen with the exclamation mark appears hit the Volume up-button. Now you should be in the download mode Connect your device to the Computer.
2. Download this file https://rapidshare.com/files/2528654376/Samsung_Galaxy_W_I8150XXKK1__EUR_.rar
and extract all the files.
3. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe .
4. click on the OPS-Button and select die Ancora.ops file.
5. Set up the settings as followed:
mark the option: One Package, Protect OPS
unmark the option: Auto Reboot, Reset Time (Sec)
6.Click on the One Package-Button and select the downloaded MD5-file.
7. Click on the Start-Button. Flashing takes around 10-15 minutes. and the first start up takes up to 5 min., so please don't panic.
I DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE !!! YOUR OWN RISK !!!
Good luck and good night, it is 3:30AM in Germany ^^.

I had ..
Wipe all + another wipe before doing the update from SD card ..
and the result is Boot Looping.
now i'm trying to flash to stock ROM .

guys I did not put any screenshots just because it's identical to the stock rom

for jayidoans I did it based on this rom Android 2.3.6 European versiione of this device
I do not know if your problem is due to the fact that you have a device with a firmware Asia
but I assure you that Rom and works I tested myself personally.

as i said before, it stuck at boot looping
and anyway, for App2SD mods,
should i have a microSD card installed ? and should i format it as ntfs and ext3 ?

Hello guys, with this guide you can restore Stock Firmware Images for all Galaxy Tab 4 Series.
This is useful to restore firmware in case something goes wrong, if you flash a custom ROM and it fails, or, for example, if Samsung decides to update this devices to Lollipop. For this you also will need stock untouched firmware.​
Pre-requisites:
1) Make a backup of everything you consider important: Apps, photos, music, etc.
2) Download drivers for your specific device from HERE, install the drivers and reboot your PC to apply changes.
3) Download Odin 3.0.9, it is attached below in this post, and extract it.
4) Download the firmware image for your specific device from HERE and extraxt the file inside, it should be a huge 1GB+ size *.tar.md5 file.
5) Make sure your device's battery is at 60% or more.
6) Enable USB Debugging on Settings > General > Developer Options (If you can't find Developer Options menu, go to Settings > General > About Device and tap several times on Build Number, then it will tell you Dev Options is enabled).
Lets start:
1) Run Odin 3.09 as Administrator (in Windows right click on Odin icon and select "Run as Administrator")
2) Turn off your tablet and now turn it on in Download Mode (press Home + Volume Down + Power buttons at the same time until the tablet turns on, then when prompted, press Volume Up button to proceed)
3) Now connect your tablet to PC via USB cable. Odin should show a plugged device and an ADDED! message, like this:
If you can't get Odin to recognise your device, check which drivers you installed or try another USB cable.
4) Make sure that Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time options are selected, like this:
5) Now check the AP option and press the AP button to find and select the firmware image (the *.tar.md5 file you extracted earlier), when you select the image, Odin will check if it has errors. If everything is OK, it should say it succesfully checked it, like this:
6) You are ready to rock, so, hit the START button and wait...
7) Go, watch TV, chat with friends, make a sandwich or play Chess with your cat.
8) Once completed, you will see the Pass! message in ID:COM section, with a green background. Your tablet should auto reboot automatically.
9) Unplug your tablet.
10) Enjoy all the bloatware once again!
Thanks for reading and if you have doubts, let us know in the comments.
Cheers!!!​

Thank You!
Thanks Man! Custom ROMS are fun but it sucks when something is not working right that which was working perfectly in the Stock ROM. Will wait patiently. hope Lollipop comes to SM-T230NU soon

Yes, here
Or here if you've got a 7.0

I cannot for the life of me get my tab to stay in download mode while flashing. It makes it as far as a quarter though the system partition then it just reboots back to the "firmware encountered an issue" screen. As far as I know the battery has more than enough if not a full charge!! HEEEEEEELP!!!!

Will restore of stock firmware overwrite custom recovery
Hi... just finally got my Tab 4 8.0 rooted by using custom recovery and special kernel. I love having root, but in the event i have to send the tablet in for any kind of warranty repair, i just want to know if simply ODIN flashing the stock 5.1.1 firmware will restore the stock recovery and reset my knox counter and stuff... Any details greatly appreciated!

It will definitely restore the stock recovery. Idk about resetting the flash counter, my instinct tells me no but that could be wrong. If worst comes to worst and you do have to send it in under warranty, tell them Kies broke it, that's worked for me and a few of my friends even with the knox counter tripped lmao. And if you want the quickest firmware file downloads, check out this thread. About a 5 minute download versus anywhere from 2-8 hours from any other host (seriously, it's awful).

How can I know when the flash is done?
Thank you for this helpful guide. I used this to upgrade my Samsung Tab 4 8.0 from 4.4.2 KitKat to Lollipop 5.1.1.
May I suggest, OP, adding a note on how to know when the flashing is over. I mistakenly thought that all the boxes on the top half (the row that begins with with a green "Pass" box) would all be colored. But the users should know that the flash is over when you see the green Pass box.
Please see my attached screenshot.

thanks for bringing my tablet back to life!

I played chess with my cat.... and lost. Thank you for this, my Tab has been shut away in shame for a while, and I decided to bring it back out again.

Does anyone know if this will activate knox if I revert to the original firmware? T530NU

* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

Why use TWRP ? Why not just use some rooted firmware which keeps my warranty safe?
TWRP is a custom recovery. Thus, it has many more features than stock recovery, such as making full NAND backups, flashing zips through recovery, ADB sideload, and more! Plus, if something goes wrong while flashing something, you can always restore from a backup using TWRP, meaning you're much safer when flashing new ROM's, etc!​

Instructions
Follow the instructions carefully.
DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE UNDER THE "WITH PC" INSTRUCTIONS. A SEPARATE DOWNLOAD LINK IS PROVIDED UNDER "WITHOUT PC" FOR THE .IMG FILE YOU NEED FOR THOSE INSTRUCTIONS​
WITH PC:
Step 1 :
Install Samsung Drivers and connect your device to PC. Let it install the drivers and any updates that may be required. The device drivers should install without failure.
Link to Samsung Drivers
Step 2 :
Download Odin 3 you can use 3.07 or 3.09
You can download Odin from here
Download the TWRP Recovery ---- Google Drive Mirror for TWRP
(DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NOT USED GOOGLE DRIVE EXTENSIVELY FOR FILE SHARING, SO THERE MAY ALSO BE A BANDWIDTH/DOWNLOAD NUMBER LIMIT PER DAY, SO IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO USE EITHER LINK, TRY AGAIN THE NEXT DAY FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL WE DECIDE ON A BETTER FILE HOSTING SERVICE.)
Step 3:
Power down your device, then when turning it on hold [ Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time) ] in order to boot the phone into Odin mode. Release it when you see the warning about entering "Download Mode".
Press vol up to confirm
Step 4:
Now that you are in Odin Mode, connect your device via USB cable.
Now open Odin 3.09 or 3.07 that you have downloaded.
If there is a pop-up regarding Installing ADB drivers let it finish, it usually updates.
Make sure the COM : xx (xx is usb port number it can be any number so don’t worry about it, just verify COM is lit up)
Now select AP and browse to where you have .tar file and select it
Make Sure only Default Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time is ticked and nothing else. Very important! Double check that only these are ticked.
Untick Auto Reboot if you are installing recovery for first time!
Click Start and wait for the process to end. DO NOT Interrupt during this time.
Once it says PASS. BOOT INTO RECOVERY USING VOL UP + HOME + POWER BUTTON.
Done.
OR ​
WITHOUT PC:
Instructions:
1. Make sure you have temp root available (Yes, this means likely using Kingroot one more time).
2. Download the recovery.img file (essentially what is in the Odin flashable .tar file) from here. Make sure you are aware of it's download path to find it with Flashify.
3. Download Flashify from the Play Store.
4. Open Flashify, grant root access, and click Recovery Image. Navigate to where you downloaded the .img file and select it.
5. A dialog should pop up asking if you want to continue with flashing the recovery. Click "Yup!" and wait for it to finish. Afterwards if it doesn't ask you to reboot, do so yourself into recovery (Vol-UP+Home+Power in case you forgot). If things went right, you should boot into TWRP smoothly!
A few helpful things for the "just in case" moments(most of these require a PC with Odin, unfortunately):
* Stock Recovery Odin flashable .tar
* Stock Boot Odin flashable .tar
* Both of the above are flashed the same as the instructions above detail flashing TWRP. Use either depending on what you've flashed/messed up, or flash both if you aren't sure. These are NOT a replacement for flashing full stock firmware through Odin in case of a thorough brick (I.E. combinations of boot/recovery/system/etc being corrupted together). Use these when you're flashing TWRP or the root zip, as it's faster and you shouldn't need to flash full firmware if you didn't brick your device in some other way.
* Raw kernel source for anyone wanting to start their own project for this device.
Credits:
TWRP Team i.e. @Dees_Troy for his awesome recovery!
@androidlover5842 for compiling TWRP, and for creating the flashable supersu.zip to give us PERM ROOT!

*** IMPORTANT UPDATE: WE HAVE SOLVED THE ROOT PROBLEM ***​
We have a working permanent root solution available for testing by anyone who would like to give it a try and get back to me with your results. So far on my device root has persisted through several reboots. Make sure you pay attention to the instructions when you flash it, and you should be good to go! Download the following file and flash it through TWRP, and make sure you DON'T let TWRP flash it's own supersu when you reboot. SuperSU TWRP Flashable ZIP

We're working on it, currently flashing supersu through TWRP still causes a bootloop similar to when using super sume to get rid of kingroot. More work is going to be done on it tomorrow, and hopefully we will solve the issue with either custom kernel, or he was maybe porting CM13 to here and thatd fix it straight away.
In short dont let twrp flash supersu just yet. And have odin backups just in case. Might see if we can link to the stock files later.

Ok sousnds good

Glad to do it! It actually got me to stop being lazy and clean up the thread in general, plus I want to make this available to as many people as possible, since this is the FIRST real progress on this device, I want everyone to hear about it! Too many owners of this device have probably given up hope on root solutions so far, which is just tragic for what is a genuinely good device.

Glad to hear it! We're working hard to finish things up, once we get custom ROM working things will be so much easier with this device!

Hey! So I followed the instructions for hooking it up with no pc. But after I typed reboot recovery it rebooted to the J3 logo and then to a black page with a big yellow triangle sign that had "!" in it and on the top it said something like: custom binary has been blocked by FRC. so I flashed the stock rom back into it (had to go to someone's house to use their pc). Didn't lose any data though after it recovered everything was still there on my phone.

That's odd, we didn't run into that on my device, but I was using a pc and Odin, though there shouldn't be any difference. Would you be able to borrow that person's PC again to try to flash it with the .tar file through Odin? AL is asleep atm but I'll direct them to this post when they wake up.

Eek, that doesn't sound fun! Alright, keep me posted as to your success with doing it through Odin if you are able to. Hopefully in a few hours AL will be up and I can mention it to them.

Awesome thanks I'm sure it will work itself out. Could be that I did something wrong while using the console although I'm not totally sure

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this is so weird. I tried the PC method with odin and on my phone screen where it says in the small text what Odin is doing, I'm still seeing "Blocked by FRC". weird. I might have to do a factory reset and then try again or something. what does FRC mean?
---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------
Ok! I figured it out. Turned on OEM unblocking flashed it and it worked. But I accidentally forgot to untick auto reboot (whoops!). It booted up fine but now I am worried. What happens if you forget to untick that?

Good to hear! I dont think its absolutely necessary to untick that, I didnt when I first flashed it through Odin, just reboot into recovery to make sure that it worked (Turn phone off, then turn it back on holding power + vol up + home) and you should boot into TWRP if it worked correctly.

Thanks so much for doing this!
Before I jump in, I want to make sure I have the proper firmware to restore the unit via Odin, just in case. I was able to download the file "J320PVPU1AOL2_J320PSPT1AOL2_SPR.zip" from a source (with a MD5 value of 008D7C9916FCAF885C811ABC3E55F01A), which when unzipped shows: "J320PVPU1AOL2_J320PSPT1AOL2_J320PVPU1AOL2_HOME.tar.md5" (with a MD5 value of 2C92F5AED197619F6AE8A86DBCB76B8E). Is this the correct firmware to restore a Virgin Mobile Galaxy J3 (SM-J320P)?
If this is not the proper firmware to restore this phone with Odin, can you please indicate where I might download it?

How To Guide [CLOSED] Bypass the region check in Lenovo p12 pro 12.6(CN version)

Having had a long research after I bricked my lenovo p12 pro 12.6(the CN version) ,I thought I finally figured out what is happening when boot ROW firmware on my tablet and a method to bypass such region check. Here is detail procedure:
First of all ,you DO NOT need to return your bricked tablet back to the seller or manufactures, any of which costs time and patience.
1、Download the super partition image file Mod edit: Links removed ,and extract super.img from it using 7z x ... command.
2、You can choose to use my bash shell script (flash_stock_firmware.sh)or your manual instructions: to flash the stock firmware
Bash:
bash 'flash_stock_firmware.sh' 'PATH/TO/THE/STOCK/FIRMWARE/FOLDER'
,it takes about 5 minutes to end.

}
After it booted to framework ,the init process will play a bootanimation ,in my case it shows :
This is exactly what we should to remove.And now you could reboot the tablet into fastboot mode
Code:
fastboot flash super PATH/TO/EXTRACTED/SUPER/IMAGE
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot reboot
In my case ,my tablet successfully launches the SetupWizard for registering device to google:

Wow fantastic work? Any chance you can elaborate anymore in your instructions for the more novice users? I've not used ADB before. When I tried and the tablet was broke ADB couldn't see the tablet where as QFIL could.
Does the boot loader have to be unlocked?
I'm still waiting for mine back from china but depending on the stability of the Global ROM I may move across.
Is the above doable only with ADB or can it also be done in QFIL?
Does the Global ROM successfully OTA for you or does it fail after download? Can you search from the settings menu?
Going forward are you able to use the Lenovo Recovery Centre to flash updates Global ROM's without having to do the steps above again?

Thanks for this. Its the info I think a lot of us have been waiting for.
Did you find the following issues with your global ROM the same as the video below @ 27:14

That is some really good news, great work!

Thanks for sharing your work. However, could you kindly make the link available without requesting permission asking to share our gmail address with you?

Thanks!

Download link was updated

Thanks for updating download links.
Once these changes have been updated can we simply download and flash newer ROW ROM's?
How is your device performing, any glitches?

Thanks … but even the other website requests mobile number or email address to download.
Too much work and privacy exposure to take. I would wait for someone else to re-upload the file to a more straight forward user friendly site.
Meanwhile, what have you changed to the super.img to make it bypass the region check? Do you have the CN full firmware file?
On the other hand, with your fix, will the tablet update firmware OTA without any issues?
Thanks again.

So far so good, all works fine ,120hz refresh rate,precision 3 pencil ,precisicion keyboard,fast charging,etc...

There is a brand new ROM out today. Are you able to flash that now? Have you tried changing the region code via a hex editor?

Is that via QFIL or OTA and also can you check if the search box works within the settings menu.

Wow it seems you've cracked it even better than the Ali Express sellers. Most of the reports are that it can't OTA and the issue with the Settings search bar.
If mine ever clears Chinese customs (been stick there for 12days now) I'll get mine back and be able to play.

Ok I'm looking at your instructions.
The flashing of the stock firmware is the easy bit.
Once you do that you get the not compatible message as per your original instructions.
At this point the tablet is stuck in a screen similar to below. It does not matter which option you chose the tablet will reset back to the same screen.
What exactly do you do from this point to flash these instructions and your Super Image.
fastboot flash super PATH/TO/EXTRACTED/SUPER/IMAGE
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot reboot
If I try and run abd I get the following:
Sorry these are probably a no brainer with your capabilities but this is all quite new to me.
Basically I can see the tablet when Android is up and running but not from fastboot mode?

UPDATE... Fast boot commands do actually work. Even though it wont list devices commands like reboot work fine.
Did you have to unlock your bootloader for this? Have you kept widevine L1?

@ZTE AXON 7 you seem to be using Linux like me, mostly. I've used QFIL to flash the ROW ROMs but never did it from Linux. Do you have instructions on how to do that?
Oh wait, I reread your post. That script is for flashing the stock ROM, just like you said. Sorry about that.

Thank you for your work
I don't understand this very well. Do you have detailed operation steps?

Help, I have a redmi 9a and after trying to downgrade a version of miui it gave it hardbrick and when flashing it in sp it gives me a status error

Download latest china rom then use sp flash v5.2020

I don't know but i think because when you have like data from miui 12.5 and want to downgrade to 12.0.10 your miui 12.5 data will be there and this will not work properly, and yeahh.... You can't do that if u don't format ig

i see i understand.
I have 12.5.4.0 RCDMIXM --
How can i flash a custom recovery in it ? I try flashing orange fox but it gives me a dm-verity error, and even if i get to the recovery, it gets stuck on the loading screen.

My last stock ROM was 12.5.7 A11 based.
I tried twrp 3.4 and .5 and both work good.
In second time I flashed orange fox with success (despite android 11 not supported) and everything works fine.
However I suggest first to flash stock 12.0.10 and after.flashing OF to see working wifi and BT.

I tried flashing 12.0.10.0 and phone would never boot, i'm not very tech savvy, i ended up deleting that ROM by mistake one day. So i dont have it anymore, 4.2 gb i lost there. In regards to the custom recovery, i'll maybe try twrp, thanks
(it all sounds too risky and problematic, im not sure if i want to continue with this phone, for now i just keep it off, its so bad, i dont use it, no custom recovery, no roms, nothing, everything bugged, it gets bricked easily, xiomi cloud, xiomi login, 3 different security methods, SLA, DA, im so overwhelmed by the amount of sh!"# it has, that its just not a pleasant experience, i haven't been able to use a single custom rom, and i have downloaded around 11 GB's in files with mobile data, i haven't been able to do anything, and i have been trying to mod it for the past 2-3 months and no progress. The rest of the phones i've had just , sudo fastboot flash system <image name> and its done, simple to use recoveries, everything easy. This one is a puzzle saying
" Do not buy me or use me " Going back 20 versions to flash a rom , what a joke, what did they smoke? kornflakes?
The Pinephone allows root on the default Rom, just simply go to developer options, and toggle
" Root Access " And the integrated options will give it to you, no google in it, nothing. Many phones like that one allow OEM unlock (Bootloader- Unlock) Natively, integrated without adb or fastboot. This Xiomi crap sold its soul to the china president and the gouverments, and to google. Bloated with crap, no freedom(they try to tie you to a MIUI account), No proper user control/autonomy, no capabilities, a cpu older than their previous releases.
I honestly feel like an old man trapped in 1980 with an old Commodore 64 , not knowing how to program anything with it ,or how to make a command work. Everything just gives error. And most importantly i feel i own a product worst than the Commodore 64.
I feel like i will have to wait another 20 years in order to see improvements, some kind of Windows, or more advanced version of Linux on the phone, polished ubuntu touch, or Fedora in it. Because right now it just sucks. The whole playstore structure, and the whole default OS is garbage on 92% of the phones.
I quit on them for the next 20 years.
WE should support the Pinephone, Oneplus, raspberry, in any case, Good Companies, not this Xiaomi crap.
