ICS won't load - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
since yesterday I try to flash the P7510XEULPH ROM on my GT-P7510. Unfortunately, for no I ended up having to flash an 3.2-ROM (XWKL1) which in Kies now says I am not allowed to update. CSC has been changed to NEE, and I actually don't know what CSC I had before (coul have been SEB, I'm not so sure). However, any attempt to flash the XEU-ROM ended up stuck in writing the "system.img" - and nothing else would happen. For the flash I use Odin3 v1.85. Can anyone give me a hint as why it doesn't want to load ICS to the tablet? Should I go for "Re-Partitioning" (which I didn't have the guts to do)?
thank you

[Q] Odin freezes while installing official roms.

Hi,
earlier I was using MIUI and I thought I will come back to TouchWiz, but while installing official rom ( branded and not branded as well, tried both ) using Odin it stops ( Odin ). In this state i can only install rom that wipes all data while installing. However that doesn't satisfies me. Anybody know solution? Also i want to say that I searched and didn't find anything that would help me.

Sounds like you are trying to go from MIUI back to stock without wiping data. I don't think you can get away with that.

I have tried to wipe data but only using normal recovery, would using custom recovery change something?

You don't want to wipe data, you tried to wipe data... which is it?
Oh right, that seems confusing. After installing rom that wipes data in installation process I had wiped it again in recovery just before turning on download mode and using Odin, which frozen while installing normal, official rom. I don't want to use one that wipes data.

I may still be missing something here...
If you ALREADY wiped it in recovery just before this last flash attempt, why does it matter if you use one that wipes data or not??
Main reason is that rom that wipes data is older than one I want. I would also like to use branded rom and I just want to know an answer as it may became usefull in future.
My reasons aren't really important.

Maybe not, but your shortage of details is what is killing me.
What is the exact model of your phone? GT-I9100? GT-I9100G? GT-I9100T? GT-I9100P? SGH-I777? SGH I727?, SGH-T989? SPD-D710?
What are you wanting to flash to, and what is the version of the wipe version you don't want to use? What is your carrier? Or do you just want to use any old branded ROM? Heck, what COUNTRY are you in??
GT-I9100, I want to flash branded rom from PLUS, Poland.
I have tried to flash it simply from MIUI, it failed, frozen at factoryfs.
Also from "Frankestein" from Intratech's thread, failed same way as from MIUI.

Intratech has a carrier branded firmware thread. Only one for PLUS / Poland I see in there is XWKF3, which is 2.3.3. Unless you have a package from somewhere else...
Unless otherwise stated, those firmwares are all non-wipe.
Just follow the instructions fully in post 1 of Intratech's main official firmware thread.
And by "flash it simply from MIUI", what do you mean, "flash it from MIUI"? This is not clear.
I think I didn't wipe the data before trying to install it while MIUI was actually installed rom. And the branded rom from Intratech's thread is the one that I'm trying to install but without succes. Odin simply stops at factotyfs.img.

Did you Wipe data/factory reset AND also select wipe cache partition in recovery? Also, make sure Kies isn't running when you have Odin running. They don't play well together.
Yes i did both and i uninstalled Kies before trying.

What OS are you on? Vista? Win7? Someone somewhere said that he had this issue and got past it by running Odin as an administrator.
Win 7, 32 bit. I haven't tried running Odin as administrator yet.
Edit: Didn't help.

Sorry bud, I'm fresh out of ideas now. Good luck.
EDIT: actually, one last idea. Well, three actually. Have you tried a different cable? If so, have you tried a different USB port on the computer? If so, have you tried a different computer?
You were right! My cable was plugged through keyboard but now when I connected it directly to computer it worked! Great thanks!

Yeah, sometimes pass-through ports and hubs do weird things. Always plug directly into a port on the computer.

How did you get 4.0.3 software on your phone, the S3 comes with 4.0.4 firmware!
Afaik if you`re rooted and use a custom kernel upgrades will not be installed. The best thing to do is download the new rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and and unstall it with Odin. Or unroot and reflash the original stock rom and to try install the upgrade.
Before unrooting reset the flash counter with TriangleAway 1.70, available on playstore and chainfires`s thread.
thanks.
it is not a custom rom it is the original rom just rooted it
when i reset it it kept the root so actually i just wiped out all content but root was still there
any thing i can do ?
thanks

You have to flash the whole original rom or the original kernel and than do a factory reset. Reset the binary flash counter first, see 2nd post.
thanks,
are you saying that just because i rooted the device i will not be able to update it and i will have to reinstall it all ?
it sounds a bit odd, as most of the devices are rooted and as far as i know they are getting updates.
i wouldn't want to start it all over from scratch and flush a new rom etc if not really needed
and then what ?
every time i will need to do that ?
so what's the point in rooting it ?

Once you root it, and update root will be overwritten and is gone.
What for me works best is to buy MobileOdin Pro and flash the latest rom of your country and by doing so you keep root. Uninstall Kies (exept the usb drivers) and forget about that. Just update your phone yourself when an upgrade is available
Apps and data can be stored with Titanium Backup.
not sure i understood what you're saying, sorry...
could you please try again ?

- Go to www.sammobile.com/firmware and download your latest rom from your country
- Uninstall Kies except the usb drivers
- Buy Mobile Odin Pro
- Flash the rom you downloaded, extracted once and placed on your sd card (md5. file) with Mobile Odin
- Done
still i don't get why ?
why did it happen?
everybody roots the device - are all resetting and flushing on each update?

You have a different kernel, not stock so updates will not be installed
If you update yourself with Mobile Odin Pro you don`t need samsung ota updates.
When in the future opdates are available you download the rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and flash it with Mobile Odin
Settings will not be removed, unless it`s a major update like jellybean.
no, i said it is the original rom just rooted

CF Root 6.4?
ZeevG, I am in the same situation as you.
Because of the method required to root the S3, we have the clockwork mod installed, I understand that this is the reason the update is not being installed.
I will be doing it manually today with Odin
thanks pal, it is now OK
i used Kies from PC and it went like charm - it is now updated and all as said is OK
thank you for your kind assistance and good will
cheers pal.

I've also had the OTA update automatically download into my phone, and it keeps asking me if it's OK to install it - but as I'm rooted, I don't want to!
I'll upgrade it myself via Odin at some point, but short of continually pressing 'Later' every three hours for the rest of my life, how do I kill and fully delete this pending OTA update?

[Q] Kies does not show firmware

Hi,
I just unrooted my phone Galaxy S3 and install original rom for my country.
Everything is fine except kies does not show any firmware information on firmware section..
Why this happens and what can I do for this?
Thanks
I had that as well after reflashing a backup. I reflashed the stock rom through odin without a wipe and it worked fine after that.

it is possible that your csc doesn't match to your firmware. you can only make kies updates if phone, pda, csc match together.
if this is not the reason you can try to uninstall, clean your registry and install kies again.

[Q] i9300 Soft Bricked! Odin and Kies Won't Work! Please help!

Hello there, I have a i9300, currently soft-bricked. I tried to flash stock firmware with odin, but I'm just getting the "NAND write start!!" stuck. I also tried to save the phone by Kies, but it did not work. Please help me, I can't afford a phone like this.
You need a new motherboard if Nand is damaged .
Suggest download another stock firmware and Odin flash to be sure Nand is damaged .
Which Firmware did you try to flash exactly ? I suppose MG4 or newer ?

Bricked Galaxy S4 GT-I9506

***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards
Tesius

Make sure your firmware downloaded right, because it is saying it is corrupt. (redownload and rerun Odin).

Tks - I have tried many ROMs from different counties (other ROM or even Kernel, etc...) and upload does not seem to work in ODIN. When you find the right country ROM, did it suddenly work in ODIN?

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...
