So I am trying to repair someones Galaxy Tab 10.1, this one came from Videotron, a provider in Quebec Canada. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me find the stock firmware for it. I've tried several others in the GT-P7500 range but I just get stuck on boot.
The complete model is P7500W4VTR (not one google result).
Does anyone have any idea what I can flash to this thing that won't result in a soft-brick?
Thanks
If you don't want to go back to stock, maybe you can flash twrp and install CM? If successful, your phone will revive as well.

so ive been reading and looking around a lot, eventually decided to go with the overcome experience and everything is running great, xcept for the ebooks app not working on it for the 3G rogers tab
but what ive been trying to find now is the stock Rogers kernel and recovery files in case something does go wrong with the tab and i need to get it back to stock to submit it back for warranty work
the best ive been able to find is this...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405324
which is a stock 3.2, and in the thread people are claiming that it is a Rogers version and has the unnecessary Rogers apps on it
i downloaded it and tried it out, and its not a stock Rogers version, doesn't come with the Rogers apps, and when plugged in to Kies it states its not a version that supports updates through Kies, therefore it definetly isn't a stock Rogers version
Just wondering if anyone knows where i can get the files to be able to get my Tab back to Rogers stock version in case something does happen, or do these files simply not exist and since i already flashed over them it's too late to ever go back to stock?
Thanks
That RUXKK2 is exactly the rom I have right now on my Rogers Tab.
I simply assume it has to be flashed through Odin only;
Kies is for "legit" updates only (and sync) ; it is not a dev nor a recovery tool. Maybe it stated updates were not supported because you are rooted.
Doesnt matter anyway; you will receive updates through Samsung Updates anyway directly on your tablet; you'll simply loose root.
i did use odin to flash that stock rom, and no i wasn't rooted, as the rom itself doesn't come with root by default
all i did was flash with odin, it rebooted, then i completed a factory reset/wipe
and then plugged it in to Kies to see if it was in fact a retail stock version and could get the updates through Kies
i dont really care for updating through Kies as im perfectly happy with overcome mod atm, but i would like to have all the stock rogers files (recovery,kernel and rom or w/e else i need) just in case i ever need to revert back to stock to bring the tablet in for warranty issues
the RUXKK2 rom may be stock, but it definitely doesn't include the stock rogers kernel version
any ideas where those could be found? or if it could be extracted from a nandroid backup? i completed a nandroid backup of my stock device before i flashed overcome
Flashing your Nandroid will get you back to stock no? Thats the purpose of it I thought to get you back to your previous state in case something goes wrong. Nandroid backups are flashed through CWM though not Odin, under Backup and restore options.
Nandroid does not backup the kernel.

Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
yea, nandroid doesnt back up everything :/
i think the stock kernel and stock recovery files to flash through odin is what would be needed, and judging by the replies im getting i don't think those exist out there for the rogers tablet :/
i even checked http://www.samfirmware.com and couldn't really find a rogers or Canadian version, but sure did find ppl on the forums asking about it
if any1 knows how to maybe get those files off a stock tablet, i do have a 2nd GT 10.1 Rogers that has not been changed or modded in any way that i could attempt to extract the kernel and recovery file from if i knew how
I also am looking for a stock rogers rom. I currently run overcome with no issues, but should I need work done under warranty, I need to flash back to stock before I send it in. The link above was what I also found during a forum search, which kies does NOT recognize. Has anyone been able to find or extract the stock rom that comes with a Rogers 10.1 out of the box?
Ooops mistaken threads..
So recently my phone for whatever reason just decided to restart itself, but it got stuck on the 'samsung gt-i9300t' part and I have no idea what to do. i read some threads about flashing roms and things but i'm new to it. I was wondering how I could restore it back to the original firmware.
I bought my phone unlocked from Telstra and the model is GT-I9300T i went on sammobile to find the australian rom but there wasn't any there.
I've read tutorials that also provided links to the australian rom and they didn't work with odin it would be stuck in the 'setup connection' then fail a few minutes later
First, sorry if this is the wrong place, etc.
Here's what I got. I have 2 identical s3's. They are the Ntelos version, sch-r530x. One is rooted, custom recovery, and is flashed to hyperdrive verizon rom. Most of it works fine, but there are certain bugs and I need full function back.
The other device is completely stock and received an OTA update to 4.3 the other day.
I need to extract the stock 4.3 and flash it to the rooted phone to get back to a stock version and get back the functions that wont work. My phone being ntelos and the current rom being for verizon has caused quite a few issues that didnt immediately make themselves known. So I just want to be rid of the custom rom.
Now here is where I am finding a problem. My phone is sch-r530x. The verizon rom has it thinking it is an sch-i535. So when I try standard methods, like using KIES, the phone wont be recognized.
I am thinking the best option is to extract the stock rom from the completely stock device and flash it, via odin or cwm recovery, onto the rooted device. I realize I may have to root the stock device to do this, which is fine, I found a method that works for this model, the trouble only began when I flashed the hyperdrive rom (because someone else had reported good compatability....LIES).
ANY HELP HERE IS APPRECIATED!!!
Also, the reason I need to extract the stock rom from the stock device is because being a regional carrier, the ntelos rom is NOWHERE to be found online. Nobody has heard of them from what I have found, and my last 3 phones through them I have basically had to create my own root methods by piecing together bits from tutorials for other models. I have a good track record, and was able to pull it off again with this model, but I screwed up when I flashed this custom rom for the wrong model number, now nothing works quite like it should.
PLEASE HELP
Wrong forum, read the very first thread about US phones.
I wanted to flash a aosp rom for my gf on her galaxy s5 tmobile, but somewhere along the line I bricked it. I used Odin 3.10.7 to flash twrp. Then I realized I hadn't rooted, so I flashed cf-autoroot. Now It won't get past the Samsung splash screen. I can't mount the filesystem to my computer or else I would try to flash a rom with twrp. And I can't find the stock firmware that is compatible with odin (they're all zips with no md5).
Can someone point me to a stock firmware I can use with odin? Or better yet an aosp rom I can flash with odin? Or maybe I'm missing something completely. I have flashed dozens of roms with my nexus, bricked and unbricked many times. I am just not used to samsung/odin plus using windows is a pain cause my windows box is pretty old. Thanks for yoru help!
Got it straightened out. For posterity: found the firmware at sammobile, flashed with odin, back to stock. Guess xmas morning is not the best time to try something new! Happy holidays everybody.
great.
everything went smooth then I go to boot in DL mode to see... the CHN verison is different! what the hell!?
is it possible to flash a international rom on this? I tried step one... but it got stuck and wouldn't clear the first stages...
****, exact same phone parts too.
heres what phone info tells me... busted white s3 made in korea.... new motherboard s3... made in china...
You won't be able to use Odin to flash a stock international ROM as far as I know as Odin's security won't allow it but you may be able to run an international custom ROM.
The Korean phone is original the Chinese phone is a fake. As far as i know they were all coded moxx, not mozs..
Not sure if you can flash a btu firmware to it, if it's locked to network or branded you'll kill it anyway. Flash a Korean firmware made for that device and go from there.
korean firmware eh... keep in mind the "made in korea" is a regular i9300 S3
I also noticed what looks like... a Chinese CWM on there for custom recovery. This phone has been flashed before and the flash counter is at 4.
I'm not sure what to flash without it not working... not sure if switching to Twrp will even work. if I can get it to a custom sammy rom working with an english custom recovery I'll be super happy- this phone with its Chinese motherboard seems to work in every function (stock sammy keyboard will occasionally go to Chinese characters) but I just couldn't get ODIN to flash the BTU firmware- it failed but thankfully didn't crash the phone.
also the FM radio currently works. this is a big feature for me I don't want to lose it... along the modem and kornel screwing up.. what can i do to back it up in its weird stock state? not sure how to act on this one without hard bricking the unit.
