Hello all...
I am new to the Android platform.. Bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7500
Android Version: 3.1
Baseband Version: P7500XXKI1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3
Build Number: HMJ37 P7500DXKI2
Bought it in Singapore, and noticed that the "Dutch" language was not available. I tried using these locale changing programs, and they work, but only change parts of the OS.
Is it quite straightforward to install another firmware to make it a Europe model? If yes, which firmware do I actually use. Have been reading in the other forums, but really cannot find which one to use.
I do understand that it is only this Odin program I need to install another firmware and it works? Can I use the same program to first backup my current firmware in case something goes wrong?
Sorry for all these questions, but have been reading through many threads now, and all seems to be for the professionals, and in Android it is not me at the moment.
Hope someone can help out.
Thanks everyone.
hi man regarding the firmware if you want a stock firmware you can go to samfirmware.com and search for the one of your model and area or you can take a look on the android development area of the forum and see if there is a firm that you like to try and regarding the odin thing you can read the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and have the last version of cwm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090289 you will now what it is once you read the first post oh and yes with this you can make a back up of the original firmware in case you want to go back
hey,
thanks for the links already.
however, still not 100% clear to me.
I have downloaded the Open Europe firmware for the GT-P7500, but still it is unclear on how to exactly do the change through Odin.
I can simply load the downloaded .TAR into the option CSC of Odin and push start? The TAR itself contains .bin and .img files
Any options that should be selected or not in this Odin software?
Sorry for the stupid questions people... Really new to this, so some detailed procedure should have been great..
And for newbies not that 100% clear that thread, at least not for me..
If it's a single tar file, flash as PDA.

Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA App
Thanks.. Noted.
And do I need to do the procedure first to root the device or not?
Then last question, do I leave the default options "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" on, and all the rest off? (Re-partition / Flash Lock / Phone EFS Clear / Phone Bootloader Update)
Sorry for the questions, but once I am set want to try, and afraid I might destroy it so...
Thanks to everyone for the help already...
Hello,
I just installed the new firmware without doing the root procedure first.
All seems to work fine, and now I have all languages available.
I cannot update it through KIES, will look some more for that.
But wondering, can I download and install an update directly on the Galaxy Tab? It says one 99Mb update is available for the system.
Wondering if this will destroy it or not....
Anyone who can answer this?
Hello,
I am trying to root and install Marshmallow on a Zenpad z380C, which uses a different processor from the Z380KL.
Following the advice on this forum, I googled Root and the model (in various formats). The searches mostly lead to sites that look like scams - some of them even claim to have gleaned their info and roms from XDA!
I am still looking to root and a marshmallow rom.

-Download the z380c-v2.img file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65188654&postcount=45
-Download root kit and follow instructions from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-10-z300c-t3214802/post71685863#post71685863
It's very easy, it took me less than a minute to root my Z380C.
Have fun, and please post results.
i need to root this tablet please ANSWER
Check out this post (the first post you see in the link) and follow the guide it links to. That's how I rooted mine.
This is the primary one I used after using Frija 2.0 to download my firmware. You'll need your model number and CSA code for Frija,

As the information you seek is readily available, I am closing this thread.
Given the pain of trying to make this phone somewhat functional and something that resembles the level of customisation that I am used to I am thinking I might attempt to root my device. I am pretty sure by doing so I can get Android Auto working, utilise a better launcher along with change my default sms / dialler and then hopefully also shut down a lot of the other limiting Oppo Security functions.
I am just wondering whether anybody has installed a custom recovery and rooted their Find N yet?
The only functionality I am worried about breaking would be my mobile payments / banking apps, but I am 99% sure there are ways to avoid this..
Any help / advice is greatly appreciated!
Interested to see how you get on with this
The main issue I see is that Google Pay would likely stop working on a rooted device; and whilst I can deal with Android Auto not working (though a deal breaker for some), and I'm pretty happy with the default launcher and default dialer/sms apps, etc.; not having Google Pay working would be a deal breaker for me.
Before doing the root, we need to have the boot.img file so it can be patched. The issue I encounter is that I didn't find it anywhere. Has anyone managed to find the official Find N firmware yet?
Ok and its an old version but i Saw those links onnanother websites (kiné ofnarabic one) but cant found anymore
I tried with the Oplus Upgrade Tool but i cant find downgrade option or link
That's a shame. Not sure how to get an invite...
I purchased an invitation code and got access to the site, however the file is actually for an OPPO A93, haha. Hopefully they respond to my post with an accurate link

Thanks konkoro! I actually managed to get a copy of this last night. Also, was it you who just responded via email to my request to ask for it to be uploaded? If so I really appreciate your efforts in organising that..
I have managed to extract the boot.img from this firmware (along with a previous version), although I am still trying to confirm that they are actually for the Find N (peum00). Details within the firmware suggest that it might not be (although I realistically do not know what I am looking at / for..) Also, my phone doesn't recognise this firmware when I attempt to locally upload it for a software update, but I understand that could be because I could be already on a later release of it. However, both of the firmware files names don't appear to match in any way (or even seem similar) to what the device says it has installed
Are you able to confirm with certainty that this is in fact firmware for the Oppo Find N - peum00?
Thanks again!

No, I found it by chance and just informed.
I'm not sure whether it's a real.

Yeah I can see that.. My confusion is due to a couple of things, but as I was discussing with you the other day - I just want to be 100% certain
Realistically the dates of the firmware look right (mentioned within the name), the firmware also references the Qualcomm SM8350 processor which is reassuring. However it does also mention Samsung a lot.. (Quite possibly referring to other hardware within the phone though). Also as mentioned above, my phone doesn't recognise it, but that is probably due to other reasons.
Realistically until someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader the firmware isn't much use yet anyway.. However once this can be done, it will be critical that it is the correct firmware so the right boot.img can be patched / flashed to prevent bricking the device.
Yes it’s 100% for PEUM00.
Regard SM8350.. are you trying with firehose..? Oppo has used sign firehose so you can’t use with other model firehose and it’s also have to be same hash.

Awesome
Yeah I have looked, but I cannot find a signed SM8350 / PEUM00 / Oppo firehose file anywhere. I think this is where the root process is likely to stall for a while (if not forever )

This may be a stupid question, but did you enable "OEM unlock" on the "Developer options" ?

Unfortunately there's a bit more to it than that. That setting is pretty much irrelevant these days, as Oppo / Qualcomm have disabled the ability to be able to unlock the bootloader in the traditional fashion.
Here is a great article on the situation we are faced with: https://lineageos.org/engineering/Qualcomm-Firmware/

Damn, I read the article and in fact, it is almost impossible to unlock the bootloader.
But I was reading the step-by-step "How to Install Magisk on your Android Phone" document (maybe a "little" outdated) on https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/ and that left me thinking: what if we decompress the OFP firmware file, patch the boot.img file using Masgisk app, create again the OFP firmware and flash it again the OFP using the Realme Flash Tool?
Do you think this is doable?
I was able to decompress the OFP file and patch the boot.img file, but I didn't search how to compress again the files into OFP format.
Hello, I have a question...
I have a Vivo smartphone.
I have been hacked and had spyware on my smartphone even after I did factory reset.
I realized I have to flash the stock rom again.
Problem:
1. I have come across many websites claiming to provide official stock ROM...

Where can one ACTUALLY find the official stock ROM files?
2. How can one find the files on this website XDA because this is my first time using the website?
3. how can we confirm files found on XDA have not been tampered with?
Thank you in advance for posting your replies...
Hm it has been very easy to register to this website XDA and post a question... Really pleasant experience. Usually forums are so annoying with millions of rules on how to ask a question, what to ask, in which subsection bla bla bla... Confirming the account etc etc....
I am really pleasantly surpsied.
I look forward to receiving some constructive replies because I am indeed quite frustrated having spent 4 hours googling "vivo official stock rom" and having actually found absolutely nothing reassuring.
I have basic knowledge in python, mysql and php so for me as an amateur programmer, it sounds crazy to just go and download an OS from a random website and install it on your smartphone.
I don't understand the implications very well but that seems rather wild to me...
It's like downloading your microsoft windows iso image from whatever website you found somewhere?! :S
