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:

Note: this worked just fine when I was using a previous (non-touchwiz) stock rooted rom. This was the previous rooting method I used:

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.
Hi guys,
I just scored a refurbished, but like-new, Galaxy Tab 10.1 ($265 from The Source clearance center in Barrie, Ontario, Canada) and I am unable to update it from 3.1.
When I try to update using the OTA nothing happens. The update appears to want to start and then it just loops back to a message to start it again. I tried clearing the cache and force-closing the update from Applications, but that's only made it worse (nothing at all happens on the update screen under 'About' now).
So then I tried Kies, which tells me KL2 is the latest FW. However while Kies is downloading the FW the tablet loses connection. Eventually Kies gives up and the tablet reconnects, and I can do it all over again if I want but it never gets anywhere.
Since I want 3.2 quite a bit I've rooted the tablet and I've downloaded a few ROMs. My problem is not knowing which stock ROM is really the latest.
I am debating between KL2 and KMP. I've also downloaded Galaxy Task to play with.
Based on dates, KL2 seems newer than KMP. But based on the alphabet, KMP should be newer than KL2.
Anyone know which is truly newer and which I should go for? I am leaning towards KL2 since Kies was going to give me that one anyway.
Here is the list with latest stock firmwares, version depends on you're region. Canada is the second in the list..

Ok, I have a what i think is a rooted droid razr. I was on jelly-wizz rom and i went back to my stock rom with safestrap 3.11. My phone told me there was an OTA update that i did successfully and brought me to 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US (4.1.2). I had already manually updates the xmas leak so I was on 4.1.2 before the OTA. I erased the jelly-wizz rom slot and wanted to use the new Eclipse Razr JB v1.1 so I went threw all the steps and that and installed and activated the new rom. That put me into a boot loop. I then activated the stock rom and figured that I would start from scratch and unroot then root and start all over. The problem is i uninstalled Safestrap and didn't remove the recovery. I tried to reinstall safestrap and it takes but when i try to launch it it says safestrap has stopped and wont let me in. When i reboot, I get the safestrap menu saying it is disabled and can get into safestrap but any rom i install just puts me in a boot loop but I can boot to stock fine.
I just want to unroot and start from scratch and deleting all rom slots and factory reset does nothing. Any Ideas????
Use this to get you unrooted. It will take you back as if you never rooted, it will also delete your apps so back them up.

That was actually my next plan of attack. Worked like a charm. Made me unrooted and just had to start over from scratch which is fine. Nice that Matt has a root process built right into the app. I found out that the Eclipse JB Rom v1.1 can only be used on the xmas leak and if you do the official OTA then it just boot loops. That was the other half of my problem. Will just have to look for a new rom for the time being. Thanks!!
I think Jelly-Wiz has the same problem as the Eclipse. It just puts me in a boot loop as well. Guess I'll stay with stock for the time being
I had the same exact problem with the bootloop after updating to the Verizon OTA. I guess the kernel had some minor changes or something because any ROM built for the Xmas leak caused the same issue. I've been very happy using one of the CM 10.1 nightlies. Works like a charm even with the OTA update. I also heard of a ROM called FlyingJelly that works with the OTA update but I haven't tried it myself.
How do you do the cm10 mods. I've heard about them but haven't yet. Are they any different or better. I'd assume you use cm for them instead of bootstrap?
[Edit] I found out on droidrzr.com that there are actually 6 roms that work with the .16 kernel.
Aviator
Cyclone
Black Widow HDish***
Flying Jelly***
Rage ROM
Breakneck Blur***
*** These three have the circle widget from the Razr M (I'm guessing) I'm using the Breakneck Blur one and its really nice. Just over one page of installed apps and everything works great on it so far. I hate all the bloat that Verizon and moto put on these phones that you never use and cant uninstall.
Hi XDA,
For the past several days I've tried to Safestrap a custom ROM to my phone. I'm running a rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 with ME7 (Verizon), Android 4.2.2. It's worth noting that the phone has not received an official Verizon update since August; I tried using Loki back then before knowing about the locked bootloader, and it has not affected anything except that the phone softbricks into the ODIN screen whenever it tries to install a Verizon update. (I hope this is not the cause of the problem, but let me know if you think it is.) It's also worth noting that I deleted the stock messaging app (SecMMS.apk and SecMMS.odex.) I am using Safestrap 3.65.
So far, I've tried three different ROMs (Hyperdrive RLS10.2, Jelly Beans Build 7, Google Play Edition for 4.2.2.) Each install produced the same results: it installs just fine in the ROM slot (along with the ME7 modules afterwards), but when I reboot the system, it shows the Samsung logo, the Safestrap splash screen, and then the screen goes black indefinitely. A battery removal is required.
I've tried every trick I could find to get the ROMs working. I've done a full factory reset each time (data + both caches), tried downloading each mod several times on both my phone and my computer (verified MD5 each time) and same with the modules, waited at least 20 minutes during each boot attempt, tried installing each ROM with default settings and minimal apps, used Stock kernels each time, made sure the modules are installed before rebooting (I also tried without the modules to make sure they weren't the problem--same result.) Each time I try an install, I delete the ROM slot and format it again (usually a 1GB-2GB-300MB split.) I've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone with this problem that hasn't solved it through one of the fixes I've unsuccessfully tried.
I'm plum out of ideas now, and am hoping someone may have more wisdom to share. Please help!
Background:
I was previously rooted and even after disabling root I could not do the OTA (it kept giving me a status error 7). After researching I decided to use ODIN to try and restore to a stock ROM for the upgrade.
I initially tried to use CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user as the firmware, but it caused my device to go into a firmware upgrade error.
I then used I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME which got me back to stock 4.2, I OTA'd to 4.3, and using a previously downloaded OTA copy of 4.4.2 I booted into recovery mode and manually installed the OTA.
The Problem:
Since going to 4.4.2 (and I noticed it in 4.3) the Google Play store seems to load EXTREMELY slowly. I have Frontier FiOS and speed testing the connection shows a minimum of 25/11.36 Mbps for my connection. 4G does not appear to work so well either.
Could I have messed something up? I do not know why my stuff is working so slowly...
