The official firmware can be used to restore your tablet to its factory state, which means that it can be used as an escape route if you ever need to revert to stock firmware. For instance, this can be very handy if you stumble upon an bad or misbehaving custom ROM that makes your tablet malfunction.
This guide shows you how to revert the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 to Android 4.0.4 ICS build UEBLH2 (stock official firmware).

Select Reboot system now to reboot the tablet
Congratulations! You’ve successfully reverted your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich build UEBLH2.

"Disable my AV/security" before I download from unknown links ?
Cool story bro. :laugh: General tip for PC users , scan everything you download onto your desktop no matter the source with your AV. Especially an ".exe "
Nice guide apart from that.

thank you.. I didnt think of wipe data/factory. I was stuck on samsung logo. i wanted to return to stock since I'm giving the tablet to my nephew and don't want him doing crazy stuff. :victory:

NO, not disable before downloading, disable your AV before using Odin to flash, as IT IS A WELL KNOWN FACT that some AV programs can cause issues with flashing ROM's.

Did you actually read what the OP posted ? Nah didnt think so . So why exactly do you need to disable AV/Secuirty for a USB file transfer ? Please enlighten me with your facts.....

If you are having issues disabling your antivirus software, then don't disable it. I never disable mine. The only reason I added it to the post is because in rare cases the AV can cause issues for some reason or another.

I think you misunderstand, when flashing files VIA ODIN certain antiviruses have been known to cause issues, personally I never have but it is a standard disclaimer on ANY Device to computer connection, when doing debugging or flashing not file transfers, I see the same disclaimer on all the Droid Razr Utility builds, and most ROM's being flashed via ODIN, it's rare but it could happen.

I think the reason for disabling your AV,is because it and your pc dont know the difference. When you run a program that flashes 'firmware' like Odin,it can be detected as malicious and blocked.HTC recommends the same thing for flashing with their exe files,and thats the same reason why its recommended during most rooting process'.

dude I thank you for this... I bought a gt 3113 3 days ago and it came with jb out of the box, dont get me wrong jb is awesome i run it on my sgs2 only thing is id like to use my tablet for streaming online content and most of the sites i view still use flash which jb no longer supports so i been looking for ways to revert it back to stock ics cause i love the ir function of the stock rom and most custom roms bork the ir blaster as per my research. anyway anymore details i should know before attempting this?? thanks in advance

Flash works perfect on every jelly bean rom I have tried just simply sideload it but I suppose thats of topic.

yup sideloaded it and even running the older version of the browser to ensure flash support and its laggy and stutters lovin the tablet though

Yes.... some of these are preloaded with 4.1.1.
I bought 2 of these for my daughters. 1 was defective. When I took it back, the store didn't have anymore so they sent me to a store in another city.
I ended up with one running 4.0.4 and one running 4.1.1.

Following the instructions there, I can confirm that the versions are the same now. Both of my tablets are 4.1.1. In addition, KIES recognizes it as a valid version.

[Q] Flashing Stock Rom

I'm currently running CM9 on my tab 8.9, and while I'm generally happy with it, now Samsung have (finally!) released stock ICS for the 8.9, I'm tempted to just install this and be done with it (I'd also likely get a working camera!)
As I can't flash using Kies, I'm going to use Odin. I've downloaded the stock rom from SamFirmware, but just want to check on the process for flashing a stock rom using Odin.
I assume I just click PDA, select the .md5 file, and make sure 'Auto Reboot' is checked, but do I need to do anything else in Odin to make sure this works ok?

Jusy like this picture and click start....

Finally got round to trying this (! Better late than never).
Using Odin 1.85, the download seemed to work ok, and completed with no errors. The tab then rebooted, and after some screen flashing, the Samsung boot screen appeared, then the logo (which started pulsing). I then left it, and left it, and left it, but I just get the logo flashing on the screen, and it doesn't get any further.
I reset the tab, went back into Download mode, then tried again. Odin completed the download (again), the tab rebooted, but the same thing happened.
Am I meant to clear the cache using this method? I did have CMR 5.5.0.4/CM9 installed before trying this, but I thought this ROM overwrites everything and reverts it back to stock.

Ok, thanks. Took your advise, and cleared the cache (had to re-install CWMR first though). I then used Odin to re-install the latest ICS from Samsung, which installed ok this time.
One problem though, when you put the tab to sleep, then resume (using the power button), the screen just goes totally corrupt and unreadable. You can see something is happening on the screen to key presses, but you have to power off using the button. From a cold boot, everything is fine. It's just when you sleep/resume by the looks of it!

Mmmm. Being in the UK, I first reset everything, then installed XXKJ4 (3.2). This went fine, and a quick test with the suspend/resume showed no screen corruption. I then did the reset/cache wipe, and installed EULPO (4.04). This went fine, but a quick suspend/resume test showed the same corruption. As EULA3 is for the US only, I think I did the right thing.
I'm inclined to try re-flashing XXKJ4, and see if Kies updates it ok.

Ok, getting a bit frustrated now. From a stock 3.2 build (with no screen corruption problems), I just did an ICS update from Kies, which worked ok, but STILL had the corruption issue when resuming from sleep!

Still working on this if you can believe it!
According to the thread, people who've experienced this say that flashing the stock 3.2 ROM (EULA3), followed by ICS fixes the problem. As I said though, this is a UK model P7310, so I tried flashing the UK 3.2 ROM (XXKJ4) followed by UK ICS (EULPO). I think EULA3 is the US 3.2 ROM, so will there be a problem flashing a UK 7310 with this ROM, and afterwards will I have to flash the US ICS ROM, or can I still use the UK ROM.
The solution sounded simple, but I'm guessing these are all US based forums.

Thanks. Where do I get this?
R u saying that I should install HC 3.2, then the ICS Bootloader, then ICS full? Odin's got the option to install a bootloader, but I wouldn't know which one to use or where to get it, unless you mean CWM, but this doesn't have a bootloader file in the archive.
Getting desperate!

I think you have to extract the bootloader.bin out of the correct hc stock Rom. If I remember the Rom was for the Hong Kong rom
I don't know if this will work or will brick your device but out of curiosity I downloaded the P7300 HC rom and extracted the bootloader.cin. You can find it at http:\\d-h.st/8tF

I'm having the same issue. I'm in New Zealand, my guess is that the NZ firmware is based on the UK one.
1) Flashed firmware using odin
2) Wouldn't boot, got stuck at 'Samsung' load screen (the one that kind of pulses)
2) Installed Clock Work Mod recovery mode using odin
3) Booted to recovery mode
4) Reset to factory defaults
When coming out of power save mode the screen is garbled. I've read an earlier post about clearing the cache, do you mean the option in CWM called "wipe cache partition'?
Thanks in advance.

There have been others with the garbled screen issue. Search kalt kaffe and bootloader.

It must be a bootloader problem. I've tried every combination now, even now I'm running CWM 6.0.0.8 and AOSP 4.1.2, and while everything installs and runs ok, I STILL get the garbled screen after resuming from sleep. Just trying to search the CM10 thread for bootloader, but search is currently down.
I'm just concerned that flashing the bootloader stands a real chance of bricking the tab, but I'm hoping if the loader works on CM10 it will work on AOSP.

Jeez, I love this forum. There are some great people here. Thanks to suggestions, I finally have a fully working tab 8.9, that you can put to sleep and wake up without any garbled screen. This is a UK spec 8.9, so I've been very careful on what I flashed
Stock HC always worked fine, but compared to ICS/JB, it's horrible. I got fed up with waiting for Samsung to release ICS for the tab, so tried flashing CM10, but had big problems. Eventually I got CM9 working ok (using CMR5), but this had bugs, and wasn't reliable. Then ICS was released properly, but after flashing this using Odin, I got the garbled screen problem. I went back to stock HC, and this worked fine. Tried re-flashing ICS using Kies AND Odin, but garbled screen. Tried ASOP JB, but still garbled screen!!!!!
Eventually, having nothing to lose, I flashed UELA3 as suggested, but on reboot this went into a boot loop at the Samsung loading screen. Tried re-flashing 3 times (with clear/wipe cache), but no change, BUT, EULA3 does install a new bootloader (I could see this during the Odin flash). So, I then re-flashed stock ICS, and bam, it works.
So, you were right, EULA3, despite the fact it doesn't fully load, was enough to install the correct bootloader, then flashing XEULPO ICS on top fixed the problem. ICS may not be quite as slick as JB, but it's not far behind. Guess we'll never see a Samsung JB for this tab, even though it's easily capable of running it, but for now, I'm ok with this.

Thanks for reporting back. It'll help the next person.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 freezes after around 30 seconds from reboot.

Hello everyone, thanks for taking your time and reading this.
I've owned a Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 for about two years now. This phone is not my primary phone, as I just use it as a secondary phone for different apps/backup, most of the times the phone is turned off.
But a few days ago, I turned the phone on, and once the homescreen had loaded, around 20-30 seconds later, the phone will freeze, and there's nothing else you can do other than take the battery out to turn it off.
A few details about the phone: the phone has never been flashed, and the OS has never been touched. It's basically at stock, but the only thing I remember is updating the official firmware through the Samsung link in the settings. The phone has never been modded, and that's what bugs me the most. (I've never had experience with 'modding' phones with custom ROMS and such)
So, after sitting at home all day looking for a fix, I couldn't find anyone else in my situation. There are a few similar situations, but I am yet to find something that replicates my problem exactly.
I've also tried rebooting the phone in many different ways, for example, taking out the memory card, then taking out the sim card, then taking them both out completely.
That's when I found a link which gave me information on how to factory reset the device. Since nothing else was working, I decided to go for it.
I held the VOLUME UP button + the HOME button, and hit the power button and got the menu up.
The menu works fine, I was flicking through the options for 10 whole minutes just to check if it freezes or not, and it works perfectly fine.
So then I factory reset the phone, wiped the system cache, and I also formatted the internal SD card.
Still, the problem persists. This time, the phone will reboot for a little while longer, since I expect the system files are getting set up, then it asks for the language, and before I can hit English, it freezes, and the screen stays like that until the battery is dead. All the hardware buttons don't do anything, it's basically fully dead with the screen still on the OS menu.
I was wondering if anyone knows what I should do?
I can provide more information if needed, and I can even upload a video to YouTube if you want a better aspect of the problem.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

is it i9000 or 9100?

Ah, sorry, got the title completely messed up there.
Yes it's the GT-i9000 and I think it had Froyo 2.2.1, forgot to include that in the main text.

Could try Rooting the phone and wiping all options in Recovery and Reboot
or
Could be that something maybe corrupted which is halting the system
Upload a video so that we can offer better advice
Which Rom / Firmware are you using?
Last option.
Would Recommend Downloading Rom (whichever you choose) and go from there....

Major UPDATE:
Okay, so after sticking at it the whole day and trying to get a better understanding of this situation, I've managed to work around the problem slightly. It's not fixed yet, though.
So after the screen had frozen for the (insert number here)th time, the battery was starting to go empty, so I stuck it on charge, but I forgot that I had left the frozen screen on (currently frozen on the 'Language Select' set up menu).
After about 20 minutes, the phone vibrated and a little message popped up, and it said that 'the process Soundhound.com.xxx.xxx was force closed', or something along the lines. I can't remember fully because it popped up for only around 4 seconds and disappeared.
As soon as I saw that, I quickly went to the application settings and deleted all of the soundhound cache/data and then removed the app completely. After that I thought it was fixed for sure, so I was messing around with the phone and using different apps to see if it freezes again, and it didn't.
But I had to restart the phone to see if the freeze issues happened again, and yep, it was there again, this time the same as the first issue, where it used to freeze up in the home screen. AND, I let it sit on the frozen screen for 15 minutes and it was that SAME soundhound app that got force closed, so once it got out of the frozen state, I quickly went to the application settings and the app was still there, it was like I didn't even delete it?
This leads to my new problem, the so called 'hard factory wipe/reset' doesn't actually reset EVERYTHING. As seen in my other post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305825
Now I'm completely confused as to what I should do.
I've pretty much tried everything, and i'm sure a FULL hard reset where EVERYTHING gets wiped out might just fix it? The thing is though, I don't know how? I've been trying to fix this phone for about 7 hours straight now.

My opinion Flash a Stock Rom or what ever you wish and then Root it...
If selling it just dont bother with Rooting it.
As you say you have been at it for Several hours and flashing takes less than an hour even for a newbie if following the procedure correctly
As going by what you say it seems that files are messed up on the phone and better to start fresh

Is there a legit way to flash it, maybe through Samsungs website? I don't want to mess around with custom files, as I would like to keep everything clean.
Oh, and also, I just went through the media files and found some of my old pictures too. So for some reason, the 'format internal SD' option in the recovery menu isn't working.
If I flash it, will I have to flash it to Froyo 2.2.1 which it is currently in right now?
Here's information I found on the 'About phone' menu:
Kernel version:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] # 1
Build number:
FROYO.XXJPY
Baseband version:
i9000XXJPY
Thanks for all the help so far.

Legit way your on XDA!
Flash a Stock 2.3.6 (Clean) which is the same as Samsung Site its in my How to Guide if you wish to follow it
Its the exact same Rom just not on there Site

Briefly read your guide, and it's all mind boggling to a newbie like me :silly: lol
I might just have to flash it, because this problem is getting a little bit annoying now.
Which parts of your guide should I follow exactly? And shouldn't I be sticking Froyo 2.2.1 back in? Won't a newer firmware (such as the 2.3.6) make the phone slower/drain more battery than usual?
Oh and one last thing, what's the difference between rooting and flashing a phone? Cheers.

Rooting briefly means :
Giving yourself root access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only
This allows you to change all kinds of things that normally you wouldn't be able to
Flashing : Erm.. Flashing a new Rom on your Phone or the process of over-writing your internal memory
2.3.6 will be ok for you if you wish to stay just Stock on your phone.
Plus the fact if you wish to move to another Rom later on its just a matter of Rooting the Phone and installing the Custom Rom
Just follow guide from the : HOW TO GUIDE : TUTORIAL TO FLASH 2.3.6 JVU + ROOT BEFORE INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM
and you will be ok.

So the 2.3.6 Firmware you provide, is that known a 'custom firmware'?
I've been searching for YouTube videos with people explaining how to flash, but all the videos sound like they're speaking about some rocket science sh** lol
Now I'm super confused, some guy on YouTube is flashing to 2.3.6 JVT while you're doing JVU, I don't even know what that means haha
I just don't want to brick the phone and make it completely dead, that's why I'm just making sure I understand the basics before I go ahead with it, sorry if I'm starting to sound annoying lol

You wont brick it if you follow it correctly...
2.3.6 JVU is the basis for all custom roms been flashed unless stated otherwise by Rom Developers.
As its basically a stock 2.3.6 then when you want to flash another Rom its just a matter of Rooting the 2.3.6

Ah, okay.
Well, I'm in the process of downloading your files, THANKS for ALL the help you've given so far, sir!
I'll flash once all the files are downloaded. By the way, does 2.3.6 have Google Play store, and not the old Andropid Market?
I hope I can get this done before I head off to sleep in a few hours, been a very long day haha
I'll let you know of the results, cheers and have a good day sir.

No problem hope it all works out for you :good:
Not sure if Google Play is on it as its 2.3.6 Stock ...just upgrade it if possible

Back again, haha.
I was just wondering, did you say I should root or not? As rooting it seems like a bit of a hassle? Plus, it says that I should install a custom rom zip file if I decide to root it, but I don't have one? I am using your 2.3.6 which was in your Odin Files download link, right?
So if I root, what do I do exactly?

Okay, so I've rooted it also now, and unplugged the USB.
Now it's restarted, and the language set-up page is there, and guess what? .. It froze again :|
Exactly the same way before I flashed it :crying: :crying: lol
I actually feel like crying right now haha, I think the phone may be completely dead? Something is seriously corrupt with it I'm guessing?
I've never dropped it, or accidentally dropped liquid on it or anything like that.
I have absolutely no idea what to do now. Sigh.

[Q] Yes i know ill be laughed at

OK so got a little ahead of myself this afternoon and thought wth its time to root. Only problem was i did not properly identify my model number. So basically i rooted a n910t with the n915t root i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
So after i already flashed it i noticed something was wrong with my screen. Then i realized my mistake (shucks) what s a guy to do except ask an expert.
Basically it was on nk3 and i could only find nk4 so i tried to see if that would help it did not.
To the real issue! So i loaded nk4 on it and it loaded fine but the problem is my screen touch is off. This started after the attempted root with the files for the wrong phone. To give you an idea in order to press a correct button i have to press about an inch or so above the button i am trying to press. However that only when the screen rotation is normal. When i flip the screen rotation landscape it work fine. (in other words when i turn the phone to the side homebutton to the right). I am super mad i just bought the dam thing outta contract so you can imagine how i am feeling right now. If any one can help or tell me if there is a kernel i can download i would appreciate it. I dont have the insurance either cause i never break or brick my phones (ha) thanks guys for reading

I knew this would be confusing. I bought the n910t. Tmo version. What i did was accidently flash the 915t root files. This is what messed up the calibration. I have wiped and reinstalled to no avail my theory is that there is a kernel or a patch (dont really know the lingo) to fix the display. Thats what i am looking for. There is no odin fw for 4.4.4 nk3 so i flashed nk4 hoping that would fix the issue. I know what i did sounds noobi, but i am not totally a noob.

i tried that as well hoping for the best it did not work though

just wanted to clarify your Exact model#.
Im puzzled as to why odin is not wiping you clean.
You should be starting over fresh and not having ANY remnents of this pre-existing flash still intact after flashing stock firmware...
Try downloading the completly stock from sams mobile or from the first post.
And just pull the battery and flash the stock firmware again....

im dl it now i am going to give it a try. I just cant really imagine what i messed up that cant be fixed with a fresh install. I know there are phones out there thaat when you root it and odin a kernel it messes up the display,wifi,bt ect. that why i was thinking i would need a kernel to fix it.

After you Odin to stock with the downloaded file from Samsung.
And doing a factory reset.
If your calibration is still screwed up.
You could try flashing a rom.
Maybe firekat or something aosp like cmRemix and see if the rom doesn't overwrite the remnants that are killing you.

Problem after playing with Galaxy Note8 ROOT [SNAPDRAGON]

I rooted my phone as the title says. I ran into a few complications but nothing major. After I got used to verything I went on to download a few things. One of those things was V4A and I set it up, installed the drivers, etc. Something weird happened and it turned all my audio into a slower audio. It changed my entire phone sound. The boot animations to text messages. Well, I tried to fix it and couldn't figure it out. Nobody seemed to have the problem before so I took matters into my own hands and decided I was gonna try and go back to stock. That failed badly. I figured reflashing with odin would maybe reset my phone but I think it soft bricked it. It wont boot up. I'm sure its an easy fix I just need help. I don't know how to get back to stock and its really bothering me. If anyone knows wtf to do I would seriously appreciate the help. I have no idea how to get the stock files either. I think I downloaded them but I'm not sure.

Not the answer you are looking for but this should be in Q&A

Not sure if you're still needing help, as far as the issue after flashing V4A....prior to that while doing the root process did you do the 3rd step? (The fsck.ext4 push with adb)? If not that probably explains the weirdness you experienced.
As far as the phone's current state, are you able to boot into download mode (volume down+bixby button+power)? If yes that is a good sign take a breath of relief. If it boots to "upload mode" just long press and hold the same 3 buttons on phone and you'll be in download mode.
If none of that is "working" you can also try to repair phone with Samsung Kies program. Google or youtube it to get an idea of how the software works then give that a shot.

Woooowwwww the man himself lol. Honestly I did that. I didn't realize how messed up it was until I did the flashing again and noticed my phone not booting up. I just wanted to fix the sound problem. I did get everything up and running again though I'm going to root again and do that step with the ext file or whatever it is. I didn't do that after the first time I rooted because I was under the impression that my phone was fine. Boy was I wrong. I appreciate the hard work put into this for Snapdragon users. Its nice knowing android still has something to offer. I actually left apple because the pretty much out lawed jailbreaking. Oh well. Thanks!

The way I've done it is copy fsck.ext4 to the phone where you can find it. Navigate (use root explorer) to the file location and copy (or move) it to the folder (/tmp)
On first run root explorer will open on the systems "root directory" scroll down that initial page to /tmp and place file there.
After that (assuming you have adb installed on pc) connect phone and launch the cmd terminal. Then type "adb shell"
followed by "su" (no quotes) for either command. Then enter the info in the OP of the SamFail thread line by line hitting enter after each line.
Other option is to run a terminal app on your phone and enter the same commands from the thread.
Once you get to the end where you are told to enter "y" do so followed by "a" for the next question proceeding. (Will make more sense when you see it)
