Hi everyone sorry if these questions have been answered. I a very new Galaxy Tab owner (I got it maybe 5 minutes ago) from a trade on the XDA Market. I have a question.
Can I safely flash from ICS ROMs to a HC ROM? I know on some tablets you can and some you can't but I can't seem to find anywhere that'll let me. While I love AOSP, some apps I use aren't compatible with them so I need "official software" plus I want to be ready for the official ICS update.
Yes, you can pass from ICS to HC ROMS, the only thing you need to do is a full wipe.
If what you want is go back to stock (start over), here is a good guide (is the last part "Re-“Stocking” Yer System…"): The Guide

Awesome first question answered everything. I can go from ICS to HC ROMs. thank you so very much. i'm midway through downloading the root and unroot stuff that s0ckm0nk3y posted, but i should probably keep that around anyway huh never hurts to have the root and unroot tools at your disposal.
You can also unroot with superSU from play store!

Thank you for your response I have all the root and unroot tools on my computer already so I'd probably just odin back if I had to unroot. I don't mind my binary flash counter climbing my epic touch is at 60 already.

I would like the files to ODIN the stock Touchwiz update from late 2011.
I would then write a guide for everyone on how to return the tab to stock... this is asked way too much.
I do NOT want to write the guide updating everyone to the old honeycomb.
Anyone have ODIN files for returning to stock touchwiz?

"Stock" and "touchwiz," at least on this forum, are mutually exclusive. I honestly have no idea what you're asking for. Do you want android 3.1 or 3.2? If you want 3.2, you're stuck with touchwiz; there is no stock 3.2 ROM available. If you want a stock 3.1 without touchwiz, that can be found in the dev forum.
If you want a guide on how to return a tab to stock (and the only reason I can imagine someone would want to do this would be to send it in for warranty service), theres a guide in the sticky in the dev subforum, and also team overcome has a great method with all the downloads both on their ROM post and on their website (with great instructions too).
Simply asking for an ODIN version of the TouchWiz update. That is stock... not rooted/tweaked.

I think you need to read up on this a bit more because that doesn't exist.
Here's a little history for you: Touchwiz was an update to samsung's android 3.1 build that came out after 3.1 was released (so you can get both stock 3.1 and touchwiz 3.1 builds). Touchwiz was integrated into the 3.2 build. So the only "touchwiz upgrade" i can think of was an OTA upgrade to 3.1. I don't think flashing that will get you anywhere. If you're looking for the stock 3.2 build from samsung (and I suspect you are), go to samfirmware.com. If you really did search the forum you'd have found this everywhere, including in the sticky in the dev forum.
But there's no need to write a guide. Use CWM to flash the stock ROM, and then use ODIN to flash stock recovery. That's all it takes; you now have a stock tab.
^ I appreciate your response... I am just pointing out that I have never seen the touchwiz stock ODIN that one could flash... only honeycomb.
edit: and considering that almost daily there is a post about getting back to stock, I would say a guide is warranted.
If you can help do that, great.
coming from this same line its also helpful if the instruction would be basing from the download of the recent or older firmware, which should be from the downloads from sammobile.com that we all know provides all the stock roms, latest and versions before.
reverting stock means, the latest official: recovery (not cwm), kernel, and the firmware (rom) itself. these all 3 components, not kernel or firmware only. nothing straightforward is provided here, all bits and pieces on scattered threads but don't coherently work well with each other, mainly because they're abandoned or not updated anymore by their OPs.
another reason for reverting back to stock aside from warranty chase, is so that kies will be able to just update the tab to its latest firmware, or even ota. this is basically how the tab provided by samsung should be for a really basic end user without even knowing what root is.
then above average users can always do their rooting and after mods cleanly, knowing they came from the real clean stock and can always go back either by cwm backup/restore or manually everything from scratch.

This is not intended as a flame, but from what you've written I am not certain you understand what you're talking about. Touchwiz is basically Samsung's theme running on top of honeycomb. No honeycomb = no touchwiz. Also, you still need to make a distinction between 3.1 and 3.2 ... Regardless, as far as I know there is no touchwiz-enabled ROM that can be flashed with ODIN.
Anyways, there is a very good guide on teamovercome's site which is unfortunately down right now. Here's a link to the site; since it's down I can't link directly to the guide:
http://www.teamovercome.net/
^ I am perfectly aware of what TouchWiz is.
I am simply trying to find the files to load in ODIN that would allow someone to boot up to the stock (not rooted or debloated) setup of the TouchWiz update in late 2011.
I do not want to go back to honeycomb 3.1. Not sure how I can say it more plainly.
Does this exist? If not in ODIN, in a flashable zip?

The 'touchwiz update" was for 3.1.
3.2 came with touchwiz baked in.
If this is what you're looking for, then you're looking for the samsung android 3.2 update, not the "touchwiz update." I don't know how I could say this more clearly.
If you read my posts, I answered your question. What you're looking for does not exist. If you need stock (god knows why) just follow the many guides that already exist (or the instructions I gave earlier).
Anyways, I can't help you any further without pulling my hair out. Maybe someone else has more patience. Good luck.

Honestly man, it may be better to not answer at times.
You do not understand me. Perhaps I am not saying things clearly enough. O well.
I want the files to return a device to STOCK 3.2.... not 3.1 Honeycomb which is all I see. I consider "stock" to be an unaltered version of the update (or original) firmware... I also prefer to go to the latest "stock" setup, not 3.1 HC.
You said it does not exist, I laugh at that.
I would like this because many people:
a - ask this all the time
b - want it for servicing/warranty
c - prefer to return to stock before switching to a new rom.
I prefer to use ODIN since I know and like ODIN.
If this does not make sense, do not respond or sound rude please.

I believe this is KMM not KMN. If so you may get an update to KMN after you flash this
it is labeled as KMM but this would be the stock first instance of 3.2

I did check out that zip... It looked like it was the one Samsung pulled for wifi issues. I know like a week or so later they rolled it out again, but I did not know if there was a different build, I assumed so.
Thank you for posting that by the way, got carried away with all the other madness. Thanks!
note the wifi problem was due to the installer not the rom itself. if flashing and not installing via OTA or Kies - it should not have that problem

So yeah... I was in a rush to fix my phone and I followed this tut due to its simpleness (don't know if that word actually exists.)
http://www.blogotechblog.com/2012/03/samsung-galaxy-s2-i777-official-ice-cream-sandwich/
Thing is it actually fixed the phone and installed the OTA ICS. But it goot unrooted again...
Now, I know I deserve it for wandering out of your ever mercyful xda-comunity noob poultry yard. But I was wondering if you guys know a way to root this thing again.
Tho, I do like the interface I'm curious about the full and pure Google experience.
Thanks in advance my fellas. I'm counting on you as always.

Next time, stop rushing and do some research first. There is no official "OTA ICS". You used a leaked unfinished build, and the wrong one at that. If you found XDA, you should've been able to find all the info you needed in the Development forum.

You should probably Odin back to stock first. Then if you want the AT&T ICS leak, use my guide to install a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled kernel, then flash the UCLD3 leak package by Task650.
No, the OTA ICS cannot be rooted because you can't root that which DOES NOT EXIST.
Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to the back to stock file so I can unroot this galaxy tab 10.1 I had a friend root it for me, but I honestly, at least for this tablet have had nothing but problems. I cannot stand the inconsistancies, and lack of camera use. I did a restore to what I thought was stock, but the tab is still rooted and while I have functionality of the camera's back, the pictures are terrible and grainy.
If someone has a link, or anything helpful to get this tablet back to stock/factory settings for I'd love it. I have been currently trying to fix this. I loved this tablet until it got rooted. Please help.

Uninstall superuser.
And use root explorer to remove "SU" file from: /system/bin/SU or /system/xbin/SU
Howndo you uninstall superuser. This whole rooting madness is driving me crazy. Ive yet to see any real benefit to it. At least on my tab.

download & flash ICS 4.0.4 released for italy via odin.
you can google how to get into download mode and flash via odin.
after flashing, go to recovery mode and wip/factory reset -> reboot.

Or just get the OTA version available now.

I've flashed from rooted ICS to HC 3.2, and then updated back to ICS via OTA with no problems.
Unsure if this thread will even be seen anymore, but I just saw an article for the program triangle away. Since I have flashed this tab several times, I am about to send it into the mfg for repair for the cable charge problem it was having. I'm wondering. Will I need to unroot this tab again, use triangle away and reflahs again? Or is this model exempt from the flash counter?

i don't think there is a flash counter, but i may be wrong. someone nice enough to check?

Actually, yes, yes there is a flash counter. It says
Custom Binary Download: No (0 counts)

Uh oh, looks like I gotta do a couple things before I send it back then. Thanks!

I just got a GS3 and was immediately given a notification about a system update. I know these can sometimes making rooting a pain, so I wanted to ask if it's ok for me to perform this update or if I should just ignore it if I plan on rooting.
2nd question is whether, like previous Android phones I've had, the GS3 has several rooting methods or just one that everyone uses.
Thanks!

Preform the update or not, it will not make a difference when it comes to rooting. If you plan on installing a custom rom or updating to JB then save yourself the time and forgo the update. As you will be doing this when you install a custom rom or JB stock.
There are a few methods out there for rooting, just search around here on xda. The easiest method I have found is CFRoot using ODIN. It is packaged together, just do a search on xda for the thread and download. Really easy should take no more than 5 minutes.

Awesome. Thank you! I'm sure there has to be an I9300 non-SFR flavoured ROM out there. Any idea what the closest thing to Vanilla is for this phone?
After updating to I9205XXUCML1_I9205OXXCML2_I9205XXUCML1_HOME I can't root anymore unless I install a custom rom, are there any pre-rooted stock roms?
If not which PDA from SamMobile is rootable?

bro, u know how sometimes u read an instructions article in a hurry and sometimes dont finish it thinking your common sense will seal the deal. thats what happened with me, better to be near sure about results then taking chances and regreting it. im positive I wouldve saved alot of time if I stopped for a while and read carefully. atleast I can say I learnt a few things here and there, still dont know whether I can root this rom. frankly cant be bothered to try anymore, developers on the mega section could make their rom introductions abit easier to the common user with simple background knowlege, especially regarding going back if not happy. I was planning to install linux with my root, but after all thats happened these past months i cant be bothered to even adjust settings according to my taste, e.g. my keyboard is still vibrating when i type. the notification bar on top is to far on this tabl...smart phone and settings gets lost in the stock cloud wallpaper. im just gonna roll with it, maybe samsung does know whats best for their phones, if they'd only let us move the app drawer to the centre of the dock dammit.

There is thread about rooting ROM with KNOX from ValenteL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574953
As I am afraid your counter of unofficial installation is tipped to 1 and you are already void your warranty, maybe try a shoot for it. Anyway if you want to stay with new ROM it will be sensible to made factory reset of your phone and installing on it newest ROM once more, but this time through Odin from your PC. Lets read about how to use Odin (there are several threads on forum) and download from Sammobile newest, not branded ROM. In this manner you can make fresh start. Then if you dare you can try to root it using method from link above.
Me I am very careful about upgrades and do not decided to flash in blind newest ROMs when they arrive... and all for better, because new ROMs comes with new bootloader (which prevent to downgrade to previous versions and when you try you can brick your phone) and with dreadful KNOX... Now i will wait at least for KitKat to upgrade.
Knox
I really hate it when Samsung went for Knox.. It made life harder for our devs
