I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE (32gb) and I have searched everywhere for a solution to my problem. I was able to root and flash CWM without much of a struggle but I jumped the gun on installing a rom (since I was used to the phone side of android where not having a rom installed on your device seems like torture by comparison).
I installed Starburst rom (very stupidly and without backing up since I never even had the slightest interest in returning to the stock rom on my DX)
After some tweaking and a lot of trial and error I was able to get it to boot and run smoothly. The only problem is that I now have no LTE radio (or any radio other than wi-fi for that matter).
The long and short of it (I think) is that I am in dire need of the stock 3.1 rom specificallly for the LTE GT 10.1 (or any rom which was designed specifically for the LTE version). I have been looking for days to no avail.
Where can I find one?
Help?
Yes, I also need the stock rom for GT 10.1 LTE.
Does anyone have a LTE stock odin file? If not, is anyone able to pull the stock radio from the LTE tab? I used this file "samgtab10.1_lte_root.tar.md5" via odin to root my device. Ever since i did, my tab doesn't get 4G service anymore. Seems like it was the wrong radio in that odin file or something. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Forum,
I'm having a difficult time with my retail 10.1 wifi tab. I had previously rooted using odin and instructions on a website so that I could load an altered wpasupplicant file. However, I noticed that touchwiz ux wouldn't install yesterday (it would download, restart, get to 13%, then boot and tell me the update failed; happened many times).
So, I unrooted using this method:
"watch?v=xiSXcMbYqfs" (comes after the slash in a youtube.com url, I can't post links apparently)
and did a factory reset. When I went to update, it loaded "P7510UEKG4" (the 11 something mb update), which provided me with a "movies" program. I was under the impression that this update was for the I/O tab, which I don't have. Now, the touchwiz update is unavailable.
Can someone explain to me (or direct me to a site to) return my retail tab back to 100% stock settings? I don't know what is going on with it, but I just want it back to how it came to me.
Thanks!
Jim

Exact same position as you.
I tried the OTA 3.1 (KF3) and only got 11mb update that locked the bootloader.
I am currently trying to go back to 3.0 then update.
same thing happened to me and I have not found a solution sadly. i just installed the rom posted for UEKMB as that puts you back on a retail ver. just it is rooted and such.
I'm back at 3.0.1 but still can't get an update using kies and through settings
I was in the exact position also. Reinstalled CWM, installed stock ROM with TW-rooted, from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198921
Everything is perfect. Movies show up in market, Netflix still works perfect. This is how Samsung should have released this tablet. I really like TW and the additional apps preloaded (swype, media hub, etc...)
I'm in the same boat as well. B00sted, did that rom you mentioned work for you? Where did you get it if it did.

I guess I'm gonna have to use this, I just wanted to go back to stock so i could get OTA updates without hassle.
I felt the same way also, but with the eaze of using Clockwork Mod, this is really a non issue for me anymore. This is the first Android device I've doing any hacking on and it is so easy I will probably do my HTC Incredible soon.
Thanks gpgofast, I took the route you suggested. Everything's in order. Only problem is that now my wpa_supplicant replacement doesn't work and I can't connect to my droid's ad hoc network (which is why I rooted the tab in the first place). Oh well, that's a topic for a different thread.
Thanks,
Jim
Why don't you just load up the this stock rooted rom and use Netflix, Samsung Media Hub(Google market movies) and your wpa_supplicant.?
ALso,here is the stock firmware that Samsung provides go to bottom of page for all the info you need. You could also go to the first post in Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android Development and go to this link from there. Its in big red words after the CWM recovery menu list.
Hi tdavis, that's what I did (loaded up the stock rooted rom at the link you pasted, and replaced the stock wpa_supplicant). When I do this, wifi won't start, it says "error". Maybe it's a touchwiz thing? The wpa_supplicant I used was created pre-touchwiz. Here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1083182.html
Note: this worked just fine when I was using a previous (non-touchwiz) stock rooted rom. This was the previous rooting method I used:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQDP7xYlWg
Any thoughts?
One other thing... I did load the stock rom that you mentioned in the second part of your post. With it, I couldn't get the touchwiz update, which is why I installed the stock rooted touchwiz rom you mentioned.
OK, nevermind, the modified wpa_supplicant works fine on the stock rooted touchwiz rom
If you find yourself in the same position as me, remember you have to change the permissions for the new wpa_supplicant file so that it can execute. Also remember to put your tab in airplane mode while swapping the file, and to restart when you're done. (I didn't change the file as suggested by the original poster, I just used root explorer to swap the file).
As noted by the original poster of the wpa_supplicant file, after you disconnect from an adhoc network, you should restart wifi (or else you can't connect to other networks, at least I couldn't). You may also have to "forget" your ad-hoc network before you connect to that network on subsequent occasions (had to do this on the last stock rooted rom, haven't tried on this one yet, but assume it's the same). Small price to pay, works great.
Thanks everyone, thread SOLVED.
Nice. Glad you got it working. I hardly get an answer from one person its always a pieced together answer.
Hey everyone. I have a friend who has been attempting to root and install roms on his i777 device for a while now and every time it seems like something else gets screwy. I have an HTC so I know little about the process of working on his Samsung device, I thought it would be about the same but it seems way more complicated... Anyway I think all his problems started with a bad ROM he installed unknowingly when he first attempted to root his phone. And since then he has went to ICS then back to Gingerbread and it keeps getting more crazy. He has tried to do a factory reset on it but it fails half way through now so it wont even let him pull that off.
So my two questions are:
1) What is the best way to get this phone completely cleared up?
2) And what is a good/dependable Gingerbread ROM for this device?
I did a bit of digging on ROMs and found several in the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII i777 Index" thread. But since I dont have this device I cant try any of them out for him, and like I said early I know little on Samsung devices.
Thanks for any help!

1) Full wipe in CWM.
2) No one uses Gingerbread ROMS anymore (for the most part). As a matter of a fact we'll be getting Jellybean soon! Stick to an ICS rom, I recommend either AOKP or CM9.
EDIT: If he wants more of a stock feel, try out Mystics Glory.
Ok. Number one, if he wiped with the stock ics kernel installed, there's a chance he messed up his phone. The stock ics kernel had a severe bug in it. Number two, after he's no longer in ics stock kernel , do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, and run kernel cleaning script. Thirdly, there are a number of roms out there. Tell him to try them and see which one fits.

I thought about doing all the wipes as well. I wasnt sure if they would work or not though because he cant backup and the factory restore isnt working. I told him to try it through CWM and recovery apparently neither are working well.
And he doesnt want ICS anymore because they changed how the phone connects with tether. With Gingerbread he just had to freeze Tethering Manager to get it to work in ICS Tethering Manager doesnt exist anymore so the same process doesnt work.
However Im sure he would like an ICS ROM if it unlocked tethering for him. The illuminati ROM on my Vivid unlocked the tethering for me, is there something similar for the i777?

In AOKP you can tether with no issues(it also unlocks it). As far as the other stuff, if he did a full wipe like the post above said, with stock recovery. His phone may be messed up
Alright thanks for the help. I'll see if we can get anywhere this afternoon with AOKP. I'll be back after we see where that gets us! lol
So, I had a rooted, stock install of ICS (FF18) as well as AGAT. I decided I wanted to try out Cyanogen, so after trying unsuccessfully for a number of hours, I discovered Resurrection Remix, installed it, and it was working great. Only problem is, I had no base band and could not connect to my cell network or use WiFi. I tried installing it a few more times with different modems and none worked, so I flashed back to FF18 and got that all set back up. I read somewhere that you should try using a stock JB install before installing RR, so I flashed a JB ROM, and had the same issues with no working modem/baseband. So now I decided to just give up and go back to ICS, but I'm having an issue doing that. My USB does not function at all. It charges, but does not show up on my computer, nor can I ODIN it. I've tried all the tricks on here (Re-installing drivers, different cable/computer, *#87-whatever) and it still will not work. I can't exactly reflash it without ODIN or CWM, and am at a loss as to what to do. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I should mention that this JB ROM is rooted, but I can't seem to access anything on my SD card, so transferring files seems to be out of the question.

Based on your reference of FF18, My guess is you're trying to install CyanogenMod for the I9100 to your SPH-D710, aka. the Epic 4G Touch.
Check your phone model. It'll be on the label under your battery. If it says "SPH-D710", you're in the wrong place.

Yeah, I do have an E4GT, couldn't find the forum for it, thanks.
I have used an uinlocked tmobile vibrant for a few years now an have had various ROMs inbstalled. However several mo0nths ago it came up semi-brain dead after running Team Whiskey.
Since restoring to what I thought was an original image downloaded from the web, I soon discovered that I could no longer access Google Play/ Android Market. I tried everything and could no longer even restore previous ROM images. I have since discovered that the image was for a T959V and this identifies itself as 4G when it is ion fact not.
I am convinced that there is something fundamentally wrong with file system or the like. Over the months I have also had an increased lag and just weird things happening like the Edge network icon appearing wile connected to wifi , frequent hangs, etc.
I would like to achieve the following if possible
A complete reformat / restore to a more recent ROM in as few steps as possible.
A ROM new enough to hopefully run XBMC on my phone if possible
Update modem firmware??? As I am in Mexico with this phone and would like to access TelCel 3G band and can currently access only Edge
Rooted
unlocked
relatively bug free
Front facing camera hack support as I would like to add hardware
Questions
What is the recommended newest and most stable ROM? Will it run xbmc on this phone?
Can I do a clean install to a third patty ROM?
Will modem firmware get past the frequency band limitations to use the 3G network on TelCel Mexico?
What is the critical stuff to back up?
On an unrelated note does anyone know if the T959V (4g) case will fit on the t959 (3g). I ask this because the lense cover on my case has become fogged. I need to replace this part, and the cases I find on ebay that have this part are for the t959v . Those for the t959 do not have this part. Maybe someone knows where I can get this?
Thanks in advance
Mark
I would use the toolbox, revert to stock, your play problems should be alleviated, however when using odin use Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar. Eclair is dead to playstore and Rom manager. always keep a backup of your IMEI on your sd/card and computer its important. Use the Update .zip for root its all in the search.Try ics zen if you can find it, verrrrry nice. ciao
pm me on the photo prob, I have a toast vib thats in the desk, it may have more parts than the photo screen if you need it.

Thannks for the reply
Correct me if I am wrong but stock is Eclair. Are you saying that I should revert to a stock Froyo via odin? Everything I have read said I always had to do eclair first. Should I ODIN directly to this Froyo image
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/thread/3
??
I tried that download and from mexico it said "this offer is not calid in your area" neither selecting skip ad , nor waiting resulted in anything. I then went through a USA proxy and all I get is a download manager windows exe file. Wonder why people post importyant files to sites like this when they are so often problematic?
What toolbox do you refer to?
Do you mean ICZen as found on this page?

Hi,
I have used XDA for a while now for useful info on rooting and customising my phones with custom roms.
I am looking for some help.
I own a Galaxy Mega I9205 and have just installed the Note 4/S5 rom by bevin.
Wasn't easy as there were 2 different threads and 2 different methods.
First way of flashing the rom followed by a fix for I9205 users didn't really work. The fix pretty much wiped the rom and phone wouldn't boot. The thread stated to flash a stock modem of which I can't find any (not that I'm 100% sure what I'm looking for).
Found a .bin file HLOS-BIIN and flashed this after flashing the rom but without the fix and pretty much had same issue.
I tried the method on the second thread of downloading his backup file and restoring that. Had to re-flash stock rom first before this to get everything working again but all is pretty much good. Rom is near perfect and looks great. I have mobile data working and seems pretty stable.
The issue I have now is that my WiFi will not switch on. I flick the switch and it immediately deactivates itself.
I have tried several ways mentioned on here to sort it out but nothing works.
I tried the vcore2 root but that pretty much wiped the rom so yet again had to go through the whole process.
I believe the kernel controls WiFi functionality.
Does anyone know of any decent kernels for this device or any ways of fixing this WiFi issue?
I don't want to go back to stock because I love the whole look and functionality of the note 4 / S5 rom and looks great on this big screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Likely a rom/kernel incompatibility.
Did you see from http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-mega/development/rom-t3023133
i9205 Users. Soon after you download and install the above ROM from the links, flash this fix
File Name : i9205_New_Fix_13FFeb
New Fix : https://www.mediafire.com/?6la12p1y9s3cr45
After you flash this Fix, flash a Stock Modem for i9205
Reboot to setup and then Update SU binary when it asks and reboot again.

only custom kernel I see is [KERNEL] [4.4] [Multiboot] GraKernel by Grarak
and may not be compatible with current rom.
This thread will be moved to Galaxy Mega Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hi thanks for the reply.
I have already tried that fix but it just wipes the rom from the phone. When I reboot after flashing the fix it just boots into recovery mode so have to flash the rom all over again.
I'm sure there must be a way of manipulating the root files but just not sure how.
I compared the root files on my mega to those in my note 2 and it appears I have no binary files in my root wifi folder. This may be the cause.
I just need to somehow find the correct binary files for this particular phone.
