Hi guys,
Can anyone provide a flashable 10.1.C.0.370 FIRMWARE for SGP312 US Version? (32GB, Wifi only). CWM flashable file prefered, but I guess .ftf file will do as well. Thanks in advance
Ping....anyone?

There is a UK version for SGP312 in development section, but I'm not flashing that either. You lose your TV providers for built-in remote control app, and some other US specific apps and settings. There are millions of people with this tablet in US - I'm amazed that no one wants to help. Very much unlike XDA.

It's because most of the people don't bother modifying tablets unless they're Asus or Sammy tablets. Sony tablets and phones really aren't that popular, in the US, yet in the modding community cause they had crap products for years and now that their products are good and they're offering the best support out of any of the other OEMs.

XDA doesn't allow 4shared as a file host. Could you use another like mega or Google Drive or dev-host? I'm not the one behind the link being deleted (in case you were wondering ), just chiming in about the file hosts thing

On several occasions in XDA's Sony Tablet S forum, I used 4shared URLs as a file download source and the forum's participants could download the files without problem (except for the registering thing and free download speed).

I deleted the file last night because I did not like the bump it hit during its first upload. I was too tired to upload the file again last night, so I waited until this morning to re-upload the file. The download URL appears to be working now. I apologize for the confusion.

Yes, 4shared is not really recommended precisely because of the registration requirement. It's much preferred if you use one without such a requirement, like mega, Google Drive or dev-host

Thanks for the information. I have never used dev-host, so I will investigate and if possible, upload the file there.
Edit: I joined Dev-Host and donated $25.00. Big mistake! Worst web site interface ever! And slow! After four failed attempts, I am now trying to upload the file a fifth time.
2nd Edit: Finally got the file uploaded to Dev-Host. Took 3.5 hours. Unbelievable!
It still requires registration, in order to download. I'm not going to register with my real email on a public web share like that, just to download a file. If someone could upload the firmware to a host with no restrictions - would be very much appreciated
@Cat McGowan: can you post a MD5 for the file, to make sure it didnt get corrupted during upload? Thx

I uploaded the file to Dev-Host. I changed the URL and added the MD5 Sum to my OP.
Thank you very much. People like you are an asset to the XDA community....I will test it and will post the firmware to the development section, along with the instructions on how to flash FTF files
I lost root after flashing the update. Still investigating...
UPDATE: After flashing LK bootloader TWRP 2.6 started to work and it's so smart it recognized I don't have root and offered to install SuperSU and root the device without me even doing anything. After doing all that my device is rooted again and running .370 update + newest TWRP 2.6.0.0. Mad props to TeamWin. I will post the firmware and instructions in the dev section after I wake up

I lose root access every time I re-install the firmware (done several times using Sony Mobile's Update Service), but I expect to lose root access because Sony Mobile's Update Service does a "clean install". Losing root is no problem for me because I can quickly and easily regain root access using DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit.

I appreciate the update and details of your actions taken. I am going to avoid doing anything beyond gaining root access until Sony releases their official version of Android 4.2 or better.
DooMLoRD's XTZ Easy Rooting Toolkit didn't work for me on this .370 update, but since it's possible to flash custom recovery like TWRP - that's no biggie. TWRP handled gaining root access very nicely. I highly recommend LK bootloader, now that I've played with it for a while. Right now it's the only way to run TWRP 2.6, which is awesome.

I wanted to install final "bull" release for Gen8 but openAOS.org is down and I can't seem to find any other place to get the files announced here: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/archo...ngerbread-update-gen8-openaos-cm7-final-bull/
Updated CyanogenMod7 files for Archos Gen8 on OpenAOS web site:
kernel_gen8_20120409_002900.tar.gz (contains initramfs.cpio.gz, zImage and modules archive)
openaos-gingerbread-bull-gen8-121502.img.gz

I have an older version on my 101 Gen8 that has massive problems with the number of app due to 256MB limitation, even more than stock fw. Do I understand the gen8_data.img.tar.bz2 - file right as being an easy way to lift app-filespace to 1GB?
Also from the description it sounds promising that this version seems to have included the partial UBS-failure-fix from the newest stock fw.
Any input on these issues anyone?

openaos.org is down due to hardware problems. The owner is waiting for new parts to arive. I will ask him when he expects it will be up and running again.
gen8_data.img.tar.bz2 will only increase data storage for gingerbread (CM7) not for the original firmware.
It will fix usb host when booting into stock android from openaos multiboot menu, you will need to flash the kernel which comes with the download.
USB host, slave and mounting the sdcard (not internal storage) on your pc will work on the next CM7 release Crow.

Good to know, then I'll just wait.... Increasing storage for CM7 ist just what I need, I want to make CM7 my default because GB is so much better on the 101...

Hello
Since the site is down, does anyone happen to have the MultiBoot Gen7 instructions?
I have to do a resinstall on my Archos 5IT. I saved the wrong instructions.

This should be the latest kernel files

And I think this is the right image(may be one I built - so not sure if it boots as have extracted it to a partition on my A70S) due to my linux partition dying I don't have anything newer - so hope these work for you.

Thanks a lot It looked like the standard "slow download for free" - but then it requested a premium for € 2,90 anyway...
Box is much better; downloading...
Is there an installation manual somewhere inside XDA? I did this some time ago but forgot the details... I have a GB and latest stock-ROM on the 101 with multiboot. Though the booter is kind of messed up, I once chose the shortest wait-time by accident and now it won't let me go back to a humanly usable value... I hope to fix that by installing this freshly...
Not sure if there is a manual anywhere, but on my A70S I have to hold Vol- down whilst powering on, you then get a mini menu from which you can get to the recovery menu -> developer edition menu.

Present to you the Russian official firmware 4.1.2 "La Fleur" (2-file) with a three-button activation mode
How to flash your smartphone:
- Open Odin, attached to the archive
-- In the "PIT" open "goldenxx.pit"
-- In the "PDA", open "CODE_I8190XXAMA2_809600_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
-- In the "CSC" open "CSC_QXE_I8190QXEAMA1_20130109.163004_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
"La Fleur" completely put, in contrast to the single-file. Maybe it's because I ruled "Build.prop"? This is the official firmware, which is about 25MB of updates. Now facepalm
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I8190
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (1 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official

Not really development as it is a stock firmware and belongs to general section

I know I meant great work in finding it.
It's simple, reflash a pre-rooted ROM faria's or Infected's, then install ROM Manager from Play Store and flash CWM via ROM Manager.
And yes 3 button combination will still work.
Three button combo works on my end after flashing the LeFleur ROM. Reflashing Infected_'s 4.1.2 ROM then reflashing TWRP to see if it sticks.

Guys. I don`t ask to delete any posts. I just ask to add some references to the author of the ROM.
I have spent few days for investigating service firmware and I asks to respect the work of others.
That`s all.
Anyhow, the thread is made not by you, Benzonat0r and not by you, mermigas.
My message addressed to the thread owner. I ask to add references and author information.
Also, correct information about binary count. and there are 2 mirrors where you can download it:
Yandex.Disk
Dropbox
Listen man, we can all clearly see who made it when we click the link Original thread and we all immediately know it wasn't made by him. So no need to be difficult here.
Now it is all clear and the author has his rights.
Anyhow I installed this ROM.
Copied through root explorer the appropriate csc files to system and through CSC selector I installed EUR CSC.
Results no binary count and Official
PS Asphalt6 is included. Through root explorer Ozon.ru and Pogoda ;;; were removed

Hi, i'm having some issues with this official Samsung firmware download (Lollipop 5.0.1). (from Sammobile.com)
My problem, mainly, is the speed/instability of my internet connection. Yes, problems of the third world, I live in Venezuela; So I want to see who can help me with the download of this ROM, and, for example, upload it as a Torrent file (would be the most optimal solution), or simply upload it to a service like Mediafire, Mega, etc. So I can download it easily. I would be grateful if you would help me, as I urgently need it. Thank you.
Since I cannot post links, first I just need you to tell me if any of you can help me; Then, I can share the link via email, for example. I leave it under your choice :good:
Hi. You could try download from updato. They got official Samsung firmwares just like sammobile, but with fast download without registration.

The same happened with sammobile ones. And the worst thing is that downloads cannot be resumed.
The only solution seems to be to download the firmware as a torrent, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

Thanks, I'll consider this option to be able to face future file download issues. But i've found a solution: a software called SamFirm.
It allows you to download Samsung official firmware downloads, and when a problem like the one that has occurred to me happens, solves it by appending corrupt downloaded file with the rest of it, that, obviously will start downloading instantly. No need to re-download all the entire file, just the necessary fragments.

Same concept with Ninja Download Manager - whatever works best for you
You can download any OTA from Firmware finder (android or pc version) and flash it !
Currently it works 100% if you follow the instructions below to the letter
Warning !
Keep in mind that you are going to flash a newer version that is not yet released for your region.
This could result in having to reset your phone or a unstable system
Also the firmware could not be verified yet by google, so some apps could stop working.
Most of the time it is safe to flash a newer version when you read that someone has received it by OTA in a different country.
When i flashed the 185 firmware no wipe was done. I was coming from 178.
This is no insurance that it will never wipe your phone, so backup always !!
Check this youtube video for the entire procedure (for mate 20, but everything else is the same basically) https://youtu.be/g9pPi7I1SNc
This guide is based on the Mate 20 guide but modified for some parts, the only thing i have invested is the time to create this guide and my P30 Pro for countless flashes.

1. You need version 9.0.2.301 from hisuite (or the version from my package, is is slightly newer), if you are already using the newer HiSuite version 9.0.2.305 then uninstall this
2. Use Hisuitepatchinstaller found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/how-to/hisuite-patch-hstool-t3910147 after installation of the correct HiSuite version
If for some reason you cannot download HiSuitepatchinstaller then u can use the FHHiSuiteInstaller, You can find under the "HiSuite Method" menu HERE, then unzip en run this''.

Create a folder on your laptop/pc on the C: drive called Hstool and put the downloaded "Hstool.exe" file in it.
4. You need to download firmware using Firmware Finder from GPlay or site and NOT the ones from dload folder.
This will ensure that you download the correct version for your phone.
Put the downloaded file also in the "c:\Hstool" folder.
5.. Instead of downloading (step 4) you can also use this OTA file (it is version 185) this version
VOG-L29 tested, for other versions maybe it is better to use firmwaredownloader from step 4
6. Grab the file from here and replace the file in C:/Windows/User/yourusername/AppData/HiSuite/userdata/UpdateDogDev/HiSuiteConfig.xml
7. Put the full OTA file inside the folder where HStool tool is located and start HStool and follow the instructions
BUT when it asks to put a # before the entry 127.0.0.1 query.hicloud.com, change it to 159.138.6.23 query.hicloud.com
Known issues :
1. Sometimes the XML is being replaced automatically by HiSuite. So make sure you update this just before you start flashing
2. Do check if the hosts file is correctly edited just before you start the final step. You can do this by doing a "ping query.hicloud.com"
Thanks to @SLVMSF for the info and links
Thanks to @mikeos for HStool
Thanks to @Zanr Zij for the modded XML file to make it compatible for the P30 pro

This guide is work in progress and has been updated on 04-08-2019

Cheers,

Thanks for sharing, yesterday's dream become true today. One request to change thread title for Bootloader Locked devices. This guide will save lots of time to restore device after every full wipe. No more factory reset pls... ?
Thanks,

It's the same thing, Huawei is releasing international versions. The versions for dload method are different, but what i had linked it's what you need. You can flash without any doubt LGRP2-OVS.

That works on the VOG-L29 just perfectly. I have one myself
Got myself a laptop here on my site's work and tried to update using HSTool without Fumky Huawei servers, but with no luck . I get the No Internet Connection problem.
Maybe someone who installed without FH could enlighten us
I tried different hosts, including official query. hicloud.com, still nothing

Yes, Need help to understand what's missing from FH side. Same issue here as well.
Also, Check this Post made by me a while back. I Got ahead of the internet connection step a while back.
However the firmware didn't pass to the device.
The correction was in the hosts file, Check the hosts file I have attached in that thread. It has the correct FH Entry.
Did you guys try the sideload file i also posted in the FP not from funky ?
And did you replace the xml file ?

I think this is all done in the XML file.
But yet not sure how to edit this

The xml file gives either No internet connection or this device is not supported.
