Hi, I was searching for a long time how to unroot my T-mobile 10.1 Galaxy tab, and I couldn't find anything. Only for the 10.1 wifi only. Didn't find one for T-mobile USA so I just made it! (BAWZ!!)
So here you go!
***Disclaimer: I am NOT responsible for any damages you cause to your device what so ever. This method worked for me but ultimately it is your responsability if anything unexpected occurs while doing this process***
Now that we got that out of the way
*Download original T-Mobile 10.1 firmware from here!
Or from here:
Mirror 1
PREP:
*Basic knowledge of how to enter Download mode and Recovery with and with out CWM.
Just in case: if your already rooted with CWM turn your tab off, press and hold the volume down first and the power key until you get to the Recovery/Download screen.(Remember use volume down (left) to navigate back and fourth and Volume up(right) to make your selection in this screen.
*You must have ODIN on your computer. (you can find this in the development section if you don't have ODIN, which you should if your rooted but if not its back in the development area.
*Need Winzip/7zip or something to extract the zip file. (When you try to unzip it's going to ask you for a password "samfirmware.com" without the quotes.)
credit to who ever uploaded this file. Not really sure but Thanks...
* USB cable/Windows (I used windows 7 32 bit)
*Make sure you have enough battery power on your tab. Mine was at 99% not sure what the minimum required is but I didn't risk it.
3. Extract the zip file you downloaded
4. Open ODIN (I use version 1.85)
5. Put your 10.1 into download mode
6. Connect your tab to PC via USB cable (ODIN should recognize your device in the COMM box, should be in the first box to the left marked with com and then a number)
7. Then check mark PDA and press that button (PDA button), now direct to the MD5 file you extracted. Open it
8. Hit start (Make sure you do not interupt the process by removing the usb cable or anyother thing just wait!)
9. Once ODIN tells you everything was successful you can unplug your 10.1 from the computer
10. Be patient let the tab restart,your going to see the original boot animation from T-Mobile.
***Note***
If your stuck in a boot loop:
1.Press the power key until the tab turns off.
2.Press and hold the volume up, volume down and power key until you get to Recovery/Download screen (let go of all the buttons)
3.Using volume down make sure recovery is selected then press the volume up key to select it.
4.Wait while your tab sets up recovery properly
5.Once you see the recovery menu wipe data/factory reset (I did it three times)
6.Final step select reboot system now. Be patient at this point your tab should restart itself normally.
I wasn't able to find any help on this so I did some looking around and now I have my TAB 10.1 back to original factory without root. I came back from CM9 ICS (needed a working camera) so I'm sure if you do this properly it will work for you to!
You can use this method if you want to change roms from ICS back to honeycomb or what ever. It is highly recommended by the DEV's to unroot and reroot if your gonna be changing roms.

Ok, I have rooted samsung tablet 8.9 and made CWM back up. Tablet went into reboot and it having distorts at the boot up power. I pressed Power + volume up for recovery holding 15 secs until you see Package and download.
I pressed volume down at download section and continued to go into odin mode, but nothing has been appear nothing but black screen and then tablet reboots itself and having distorts loop again right after samsung logo. (power on then shows samsung logo goes into distorts then tablet power down and power on repeat same thing)
tried package and it crashed.
Looks like i am unable to have this tablet recovered?
if no fix, I'm returning to best buy store and play dumb for full refund/exchange.
Thanks for your help.
Hi, did you ever get any help for this. I just had the same thing happen (except that I don't know what cwm is) and I haven't gotten a response to my post. It seems that those who install ROM Manager on the 8.9 and enter recovery mode are having this problem - that's what happened to me while I was following instructions on this site. I found the unbrick thread in the andriod development section but the system won't allow me to post there because I'm a noob. There is some terminology I don't understand from the thread, so I need some assistance.
What I'm reading is that I need to find the rom for my device GT 8.9 wifi only (P7310) and flash it to Odin. Where do I find this rom - does it have to be stock? Can it be one of the custom roms from these pages? How do I flash it?
Thanks in advance for the help of some kind soul out there. I'm kind of panicking here. Please help.
Thanks!
If anyone has this problem in the future and has the GT-7310 Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 wifi only. This is what I used to unbrick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406137
More precisely, I downloaded the link at the end of the page, downloaded the link that says: KJ5 for the 7310 (there is also a link for the 7300 version). I only used the sections regarding ODIN3: "FAQ regarding ODIN" and down further in the HOW TO section: [Using ODIN 1.85].
Install Odin via the link downloaded at the bottom of the page.
Download the firmware/rom that is given through the KJ5 link (it takes over an hour to download FYI)
I did not have or use any PIT or CSC files
I booted the tablet into download mode: press power button until Samsung logo appears -> Press the left or upper portion of the rocker button (depending on the orientation you are holding the tablet in) until two icons appear -> press the right/bottom portion of the rocker button to select DOWNLOAD mode -> connect tablet to Windows PC with ODIN3 installed and ON.
In Odin3 select PDA button and look for the firmware you downloaded via the KJ5 link (you will have to unzip the file first using the password: samfirmware.com), click on the .tar file (P7310UEKJ5_P7310XARKJ5_XAR\P7310XARKJ5_P7310UEKJ5_HOME.tar.md5).
With tablet connected to computer and Oden set up as indicated, Oden should detect the tablet and indicate with in yellow in the ID:COM square on the Oden interface. At this point I pushed the start button and let it run until ODEN says "PASS". Then I disconnected and allowed the tablet to auto-reboot. It was a little slower than usual to reboot and I had to manually shut it down and reboot again to get mine to work and the system to fully boot again.
Anyway, I had a lot of trouble sifting through all the terminology and figuring out what was right for the scenario I was experiencing, so I hope this helps some noob out there that was in the same boat I was. Firmware/roms/flashing/etc. I didn't know what any of this was, so someone saying to flash my drive was of no use to me!
Anyway, good luck!
Hi,
I need to upgrade my Galaxy S.
Currently, I have this:
- Model number: GT-I9000
- Microsoftware version: 2.1-update1
- Bandwidth version: I9000BVJF3
- Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
- Version number: ECLAIR.BVJG2
Can you let me know how I can upgrade this ? How do I have to start ?
I have installed Samsung Kies and sync the phone with it. I expected to be able to do a firmware update thanks to Samsung Kies. But Samsung Kies doesn't seems to offer any firmware update !?
Can you give me links for dummies on how to flash my devices?
I dont know if it works fine when you are still on Eclair.
I've updated first my sgs to 2.3.6 with kies. You must open Kies in admin mod then it should works fine. If it doesnt you can backup with Kies, or rather kies restores it. Or you flash a firmware with odin. Unfortunately I dont know a guidance in english, but here in the forum there are certainly many of them.
If you are powerfull in german language, you can use this one: Here
It is for CM9, but it is the same approach for another custom rom.
If you want to stay stock (that's official firmware), then download samsung kies and just connect your phone to your pc using a USB cable. A message will pop up saying there is a new updade (Gingerbread 2.3.6). Back your phone up, then click install. Easy!
If you want to go for a custom rom, I suggest you download CyanogenMod 10 stable from CyanogenMod.org (once downloaded, don't try to unzip or extract the file, leave it zipped!) The ROM is based on android 4.1.2 Jellybean. It's a great ROM and also very stable. You will need to root your phone first though before installing it. But before you do anything, you will need to do a factory reset, and wipe your phones cache/partition first. Just turn your phone off and press and hold the power button + home key + volume up button (all 3 together). A menu will will pop up with the options to 'wipe cache/wipe partition' and perform a 'factory reset'. Use the volume up/down buttons to navigate, and the home button to select each one.
Once you have done a factory reset and wiped your phones cache/partition, you will need to find a root file for the specific firmware that is on your phone at the moment (look in Chainfires CF-root thread here on xda). After downloading the root file unzip/extract it. Next, download odin. Almost any version of odin should do, but try finding (again on xda) odin version 1.85 or 1.87. Once you have downloaded the root file and odin, open odin, then put your phone into download mode (press and hold the power button + the home key button + volume down button. A yellow android should appear. Then, connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable.
In the bottom left corner of odin, you should see the word ADDED! in a small box (providing you have the right drivers installed). This just means your phone is now connected to odin and ready to flash. To the right you will see a button called PDA, click on it and it should take you to your root file (provided you extracted/unzipped it). Double click on it, and it will automatically go in the PDA box in odin.
Above the PDA button, there is a 'start' button. Click that, and odin will do it's magic. After your phone has rebooted it should be rooted and ready to go. Next, close odin and take the USB lead out, then plug it back in. An autoplay box should open. Click on the option 'open folder to view files'. In the left pane, click on 'removable disk (G), and look for your external SD card folder. Click on it to open, and drag the zipped CyanogenMod 10 stable folder there, then turn off your phone. Wait until it is completely off and vibrates, then press and hold the power button + home button + volume UP button together. Your phone should boot into recovery mode.
Look for the option 'install zip from sdcard'. Again, use the volume up/down button to navigate, and the home key to select. After you have selected 'install zip from sdcard', there will be another option that says 'choose zip from sdcard'. Click that, and you should see a long list of folders. Toggle down to the 'external_sd' folder, and open it. The zipped CyanogenMod 10 stable folder should be there. Use the volume or up down button to select it, then hit the home key button. It will then install the ROM. When it's finished, just select 'reboot phone', and you are done!
Hello,
So I have a galaxy mini s5570i version and I tried to flash recovery on it. As i realized Odin can't seem to identify this version, I might be wrong tho, god hope so. So i tried to find another way of flashing it. I managed to get root on it (with an update.zip) but I couldn't find any cwm for it, so at last I tried my luck by putting the s5570 cwm 5.2.0.8 touch recovery on it via the original recovery.
Now the phone hangs on boot logo, I assume it can't find the system partition or something like that.
I'm still able to get into stock recovery and download mode.
What are my options?
Can I get custom recovery on it via odin or sd card or somehow?
Can I get back to original Android at least via sd and downloaded stock ROM and update that?
Thanks in advance

If your phone can go to odin mode, (Vol. Down + Home Button + Power Button) you are saved.

Yes this will trip knox, but you can use Triangle Away to reset the counter
If you are thinking of changing to custom ROMs then use CyanogenMod installer

Credit goes to @SeyMedia for original aid, I just made this into a tutorial. Good Luck!:good:
root/recovery won't work that way for 4.4
as soon as you let the phone reboot into system after flashing custom recovery, it will get overwritten by original one; so after you turn the phone off and reboot manually then, don't be surprised to see stock recovery
After flashing custom recovery don't turn the phone on. Just return with 3combo to recovery and flash su. This is how worked for me
Regarding the rooting process:
- just untick F. Reset Time in Odin when you flash philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar;
- when flashing is done, disconnect phone from pc and pull up the battery for a few seconds;
- put back the battery;
- enter in recovery mode (you will enter in Philz Touch);
- flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.
This will do the trick!

Why you use “philz_touch_6.26.6-i9305.tar” and not more new "philz_touch_6.48.4-i9305.tar"?
