I have a Tab S2 model number: sm-t813nzksxar and i cannot find any firmware for this device. It will not boot past the Samsung splash screen, no recovery and only goes in to download mode. i think it last had 7.0 on it. i sold it to someone and it had lineage. between him getting it and customs playing with it it seems all software has been wiped. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi
I'm new to forums. But I like this one. People are discussing stuff instead of complaining about their devices. I'm learning a lot. But I still need an answer to my question. And I don't think it's very complex. So I thought maybe I'm posting it wrong. Is there anything else one should do to get there post replied to. Like tagging it in some way. It's not a complaint. I really wanna know to be able ro enjoy the forum fully.
Cheers
You don't need to do anything special. What is your question?
Oh cool
Hi
Thank you very much indeed for replying. I was just wondering if it was safe to update a rooted galaxy 8.9. I got the update message in my settings so it's a proper factory official update but I've never done it before so I was a bit worried after having read about some bricked phones and (don't even know what bricked means but sounds scary).
And if you could answer another question as well please that would be really nice.
Recently my tablet crashed in a weird way so I had to reinstall every single application on my tablet. After the crash every single app was force closing and it asked me for the date and the region. Since then it crashes not very often but regularly. So I thought maybe I need to do a hard reset or even reflash the rom. But now, as far as understand, updating my firmware should sort it out for me. Am I right in thinking so?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have not heard of anyone who has bricked their gt8.9 updating a rooted device. You possible loose root when you update, but you can just flash the root.zip again. In worst case you end up with a soft brick, this can be fixed with flashing stock firmware with Odin.
If you are having random crashes, i would start with factory reset. Please dont forget to backup before, because factory reset will delete everything on your tablet.
Update to latest version. Latest versions are a lot better then early builds.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much indeed.
Will I be alright following the instructions in this forum's guide on how to use the ODIN?

Yes, but i don't think you are going to need Odin. Just click update. If you get any problems, then let us know and I'm sure that there is someone here who will help you restore stock firmware if needed.
This thread has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to contribute other than to say that you're a class act, poisike. Too many people on XDA think it's OK to be rude to newcomers and that obnoxious comments about using search add value to the board. +6 internets to you.

Hi everyone,
First of all I'd like to say I'm new to the wonderful world Android so please forgive me if my question is a simple one.
I'd like to know how i could revert my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i) back to the stock ROM.
I would like to do this as i recently rooted and installed a custom ROM, thinking that this would enhance my phone. It did not turn out this way and now I'm left with a buggy and less functional phone.
I know that it is custom to search the net before posting and i have done this. I believe that I am supposed to use a program called 'Odin' and i need a ROM for my phone. I have searched and searched all day for the relevant ROM but have had no luck.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, if anyone could offer me any help i would be so grateful.
Thanks, Curtis.
P.S. (almost forgot)
The details of my phone are below:
Make: Samsung
Model: GT-S5830i
PDA(Don't know what this means): S5830iXXLA2
PHONE: S5830iXXLD2
[quote="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552792]
If you have "bricked" your s5830i a.k.a stuck at samsung logo just download Odin and flash PDA.tar form the link.

Everything you're doing is up to you!I'm not responsible if you don't read!There's a binary counter on s5830i so be careful with flashing!

Or you could go here for a more detailed explanation that should also get you the latest official FW, but just use the instructions above if you want to keep it simple: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551156.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply!
The second link you provided has helped me boat loads, thanks.
I've downloaded the checkFUS downloader and managed to get the correct ROM. I then installed cygwin (with the zip component) and attempted to run the command but its throwing me the error "File In Use" but i ran the prgram "Unlocker" which checks if a file is in use and it reported that the file wasn't in use. Very confused.
Thanks again for that reply!.

So uhh, I installed the Resurrection Remix ROM onto my Rooted I9305 and I've pretty much bricked the phone (i backed up before I did this) but I can only go into download mode, but not into CWM Recovery. I'm not quite sure what to do. If anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: For some reason I can go into recovery mode now.. ;S

If you're going to post, at least help a newbie out.
JxCarr - try this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa
That's not even a question that should be helped. 1 post, and joined this month. I read my ass off for about a month before jumping into anything. It's called LEARNING. They would like you to do it for them. We were all super noob once. IF the question was: "Hey, I did this, this, and this. I'm at this point and I tried this, but now its doing this? I tried fixing it by doing this. And I don't know what to do." That deserves a pointer/answer/help.
Hi.
I have a problem with my Mini 2. I had "cm 10.1" Everything worked perfectly until the Polish stock software upload. My phone caught 'bootloop', and when I'm trying to enter into recovery pops 'RAMDUMP MODE'. I tried to install cwm but it did not help.
Please help. (Sorry for my bad english. I'm from Poland).
Edit: I was able to fix it with a different thread. I had not noticed it before. Subject can throw away and I'm sorry that you bother your head. Thanks.
