Hello,
well, i'm beginner in all the android custom stuff but yesterday, I wanted to try jelly bean on my galaxy tab 10.1 wifi version.
So I've installed a rom custom with this tuto androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-p7510-paranoid-android-2-custom-rom-114133/
But i'm not satisfied with it and i want to go back on the previous version I had : official ICS.
So i've a question : are the firmware (download on sammobile for exemple) simply updates or complete ROM that we can install on our devices?
In both cases, i would like to find a way to get back an official rom...:crying:
Can you help me please?
First rule of Android modding. Always make a backup in recovery. If you had you could just boot to recovery and restore the backup. To answer your question the firmware downloads from sammobile are indeed fully stock roms. They are designed to be flashed with Odin (.tar.md5 files) flash them in Odin the same way you flashed a recovery, point to the .tar file with PDA slot in Odin.

Tanks for reply,
Actually, I did a backup before, like the tuto said, but when i want to restore, i've an error during the restauration of the data so it stop and don't restore.
And like you said, I've flashed the file from sammobile with Odin and the installation seems to work but when I reboot in normal mode, I'm stuck at the Samsung logo screen.
So do you know a way to reinstall proprely an official ICS ROM, even if I have to format my tablet?
thanks for help

After downgrading, it's a good idea to wipe data/factory reset from whatever recovery you have (stock or CWM). Factory reset may resolve this.
Note that the first boot after an installation is slow.. the logo screen stays around for several minutes if I remember right.

boot to recovery,wipe cache and factory reset.
EDIT:Hold "home+volume up+power" all at the same time until recovery menu appears.
reflash with odin some stock firmware if you don't want to wipe, if there is no problem with wiping, just go to recovery and do a factory reset...this has a strong chance of success.

dont bother wit finding of exact fw. for you, find something that is for your region....
Is it flash it by using odin?
apsolutley with odin, since I suppose that you don't have cwm packed rom on SD card, because in that case does not matter if you have cwm recovery or not..., dont know if you have done it before...bat after beginners fear, it is actually peace of cake...dont be afraid, just follow instructions to the letter...

After I flashed it, it turns to the CWM screen and install the Multi-csc..something like that..and it reboot..after it reboot..its still turns to CWM and install the multi-csc.
So what should I do now?
you have done something wrong, or taken wrong rom image, since after flashing with ODIN stock rom you WILL ENDUP with stock recovery! Dont know what you flashed, but it was not stock rom.
What rom you took exactly??
"GT-I9100_SIN_I9100DXKI2_I9100OLCKH1_I9100DXKI1"
I flash this..is this a boot loop or other problem?
Hey dude, thanks for helping me so much..
My phone is working now..but I have to download my things again..=(
Alright. Thanks!
no problem, been in that situation. check some custom roms when u have time....you'll be amazed what this device can do.
and in clockwork recovery you have backup and restore, setup phone just how you like it, make a CWM backup and you are always sure that rescue is there....don't need odin or PC for that.
Flash Supercore with odin as PDA or some other kernel that has CWM recovery
The problem occured again just now, its after i dpwnlpad some apps from market..and its still not completely remove the hanging problem..And my laptop died. LOL.
Anyone here?
May i sugest u reflash stock rom and return it to the store.
If u have random reboot after flashing stock rom there is obviouse something wrong with your device.

help me out guys, i can't flash any custom rom.all i can get to is, the first boot, that says Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, i don't even pass into the boot animation, help me out, all i can flash is stock rom and via odin, help me out guys,
Hmmm. Do you wipe data/cache/dalvik after flashing?
i do wipe everything BEFORE flashing, but i did tried to wipe cache/dalvik after flash, i did everything, i waited for 30mins for it to boot, i also flashed a rom that worked for me, but it still goes stuck on galaxy logo, all i can do is a nandroid backup and flash a stock rom via odin. help me out guys, don't know what to do with it.

You mean that it used to work and now it doesn't?
let me elaborate it, so everything was working, i can switch to different roms, i'm actually on Toldo's Jellybean version 6, so what i did was update to the latest version to version 7, and that is where this started, all i get from it is on galaxy tab logo, so what i did was go back to stock and tried to reflash it again, ( i did install cwm and root, of course ) and it still persist, so i did was flash a rom that i know is working for me, tried 2 roms that used to work for me but no luck, what happen to my tab? did version 7 of jellybean rom have to do with it? i did a normal wipe. and i know what i did with it, so what happen?
and now kies don't recognize my phone for update, what happen to my tab??????????
I really don't know... Did you ask in the rom's forum? Listen, try to use a pit file with odin and start over!
http://www.mediafire.com/?7obe8a5ne0tgc4p
can you please give an instruction? what do i do with it? re-flash my stock rom and this pit??

Tab in download mode, just like you flash a rom. But use only the pit file and put it in the pit section in odin! After the flashin is complete, then put the tab in download mode again and flash the rom!!
if i may ask? what do the .pit file do?
and should i wipe it before installing the stock rom?
btw, thanks for shedding some light, if this does not work, well gonna stick with ics stock rom

pit repartitions the tab. Flash it, then close odin, then fire it up again and then flash stock ics.
oh my................ dude, i had a heart attack on this one, i did was wipe the tab, then do pit file, and then tab restarts back to download mode, then flash stock rom, then it like hang on the samsung logo after the boot animation, so i did was reflash rom and it magically says pass. is that okay??
Well, if it finally boots up, yes!
well i thought that will solve the problem, but i can't still flash any custom roms, so anyone have an idea???????????????????????
Did you tell your story to toldo? Maybe he can help!
i can't actually post on the thread, because of i'm a new member, but i pm'd him, he told me to go back to stock and just reflash v7, i did that just now after the repartion of .pit file. but no luck, oh my, i'm running out of patience here, saw a thread about unflashable gs2, but don't know where to find the bootloaders, kernel, phone and csc for the tab, or that's in the tar file already on stock rom?
They are indeed in the stock.tar
is there anyway i can put my tab into a full stock?? i mean back on state where i like first bought it? maybe that's the only way to make it work? if now, well i need to face the stock roms.
Well maybe flash a honeycomb rom from www.sammobile.com??
i did that too, no luck, ohhh. am i the only who encountered this?
I am a newbie from Nepal. I dont have much knowledge of flashing. A week ago i tried to flash CMW recover while i was in resurrection remix JB rom. Till then i am not able to start my phone because it freezes at "Samsung Galaxy S2" logo... Now i dont know the CSC, PDA and kernel version of my mobile. So please help me solve my problem, how can i make it work?
Boot into recovery (Turn phone off. Then hold home/power/volume up) & do a wipe/factory reset. Or if you have a recent backup (or any backup) restore that from recovery. I've done this a couple of times over the past few mths when my phone has spontaneously bootlooped.
didnt help

In that case flash any stock rom you like. I gather you'll be going back to a custom rom pretty quickly in any case (?) so it doesn't matter. Whatever you do tho, do not flash a PIT.

All I can do is download a rom which is in zip format, but i know odin does not support .zip but it supports .tar, so how can i download rom in .tar, also does it matter if I flashed the rom which is not meant for my region?(I mean I dont know my phone's PDA and I am not able to decide which firmware to download since every firmware has its own specific PDA)... Yes, I'll be going back again to custom rom after I make it work...haha
AFAIK a rom for another country wont break your phone, but be careful with 4.0.4 roms because of the brickbug

go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 and choose the stock or even another stock rom you wish, download it.
Boot into download mode and flash the single .tar file through odin, flashing instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
PD: if the downloaded file is .zip and not .tar, just extract the zip and u'll get the .tar

He means don't do a wipe/factory reset from recovery while you're running that kernel. Once you switch to a custom kernel you can relax tho.

Parameter is incorrect error can be caused by either of two reasons
1 . something is wrong with the file you downloaded try re downloading
2.Kies is interfering with Odin, terminate Kies from the background by using the task manager.
Using GT - I9100

Hey everyone. I'm hoping that someone can help me out.
I rooted my daughter's YP-G70 without issue and then tried to install a custom rom. It appeared to go okay but upon reboot, it just hangs at the Samsung logo and then reboots again about 5-10 seconds later in a loop at that point. I searched around and tried to restore to a stock rom including the PIT file using ODIN but that hasn't worked (even though is says that it completed successfully).
My other daughter's YP-G70 is still a completely stock ROM. Is there a guide somewhere that I could take a full backup of her Player 5.0, ODIN it over to the soft bricked player so that I can then just do a data wipe and have it back to stock?

I guess you could still flash a custom kernel with CWM, then do a nandroid backup and restore that backup over the soft-bricked device. It could work.
You might want to try wiping data via recovery after flashing the rom.
For some reason, Odin didn't work for me either. I had to factory restore it with Heimdall.

The one that Meticulus posted (http://www.4shared.com/rar/XkZ-pDCc/...EKI8_MIN.html?) in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361763
-Add the pit file from the "Flash" tab (top)
-Change the partition name "FactoryFS"
-Click "Browse" (top)
-Add the previous pit file that you just added (bottom) (ignore the message that pops up)
-Click on "Start"
After that, it should boot and everything should be fine (and nothing was wiped, may I add). You may want to add recovery, too.
Like I told the OP where I posted that file. You should boot into recovery mode and do some wiping!
Hey,
I have since become a S3 ... I have rooted it and wanted to play another Rome.
First I flashed my Carbon ... that was wonderful, but I had no wifi. Then I tried another Rom (with aroma installer). When I had WiFi, but since I have the menu did not like it and it was me too many Samsung Apps.
Now I have flashed me the Resurrection Remix, but the S3 boots constantly new to the CWM.
The same I have with CM11.
What am I doing wrong please?

You need to install exactly like below don't miss any steps
-Installation-
1.- Wipe data / factory reset (mandatory if you coming from STOCK OR 4.2.X version or another ROM)
2.- Install the Main ROM
3- install gapps
4.- When you're back on recovery go to Advanced
5.- Wipe Dalvik Cache
6.- Fix Permissions
7.- Wipe Cache Partition
8.- Reboot
If it still not working flash TWRP recovery and use that to flash the rom
Hey,
I just did it. Then came the Samsung logo, phone restarts and I'm back in the CWM.
Have just flashed TWRP reboot (via CWM) Recovery and but still have CWM.
Grrrrrr ...... what for now
Better download official firmware from Sammobile and install thru Odin. Then Root and carry on with your favorite custom rom.
Yes I agree with KSKHH if problem still there return to stock with odin and start again..
