how to factory restore the tab...i saw many flashing guides bt the problem is i downloa the firmware files...bt dont know where are the other files like PDA, CSC and PHONE files....plz asap...
To check your version of these files just type *#1234# in a dialer
what i mean is whn i try to flash...in the guides i saw that i have to put phone csc n pda files also...bt i got only the firmware file...i dont have these files...so where can i download them??
my system files are
PDA DDJK3
PHONE DDJJ1
CSC DDJJ1
If all you want to do is perform a Factory Restore then all you need do is either go to Settings/Privacy and where it says Personal Data select 'Factory Data Reset', or with your phone switched Off put the phone into Recovery Mode using the two button press method.
Press and hold both the Volume Up & Power button. After a brief period you should then see a menu appear with options. Now using the volume up/down keys select from the options 'Factory Restore and hit the power button'.
Your Tab will then be restored.
Well i tried that...bt the problem is i have rooted tab n i deleted many system apps which r creating for my tab now...so i want a complete firmware restore...i read guides so i think i have to flash it now...bt i m nt able to finds proper guides for it...they say in Odin first i have to select .pit file thn phone pda n csc files,..so my question is where ill get this files?
Try this I did and it worked to get mine booting after a bad update.
I messed around with it using several methods of getting it to boot into download mode until I finally got it to do it. I think I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file for your phone
I found mine here
http://www.droidevelopers.com/showthread.php?11722-Download-OPS-amp-PIT-files
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did it took time but I got all the files together over several days of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running, nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.
And if your so happy your phone is up show your appreciation by buying me a Pepsi

hi, I have just registered and looking for some help if at all possible,
I have a galaxy i9505 S4 and recently the Home button seems to come and go, and the power button the same, and also the screen keeps lighting up every minute for about 10 secs, if i remove the battery I can restart the phone, and also the home button works to start the phone in factory reset mode, so i feel it might be a software problem rather than hardware.
is there any way to get the phone to reinstall the firmware, as factory reset didnt help
the phone is on orange (EE) UK
thanks for any advice or help given.

hi, thanks for the reply,
the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine.
on and off the power button dont work, and i have to remove the battery to restart it.
the screen just lights up every minute for about 10 secs as if it has a notification, but there is nothing there, it drains the battery to empty in about 5 hours.
cheers.

Download yr stock 4.2.2 firmware from XDA/Sammobile. (make sure it is in .tar.MD5 format)
After finish downloading yr firmware version, open odin.

Load extracted file (.tar.MD5) as PDA in Odin.
Turn off your phone, press & hold POWER+VOLUME+DOWN buttons until phone boot into Download Mode.
Connect phone to the computer and wait for the drivers to be installed. You will see blue or yellow indicator in left top corner of Odin, with phone connected to port: COM:x
Click START and wait until you see GREEN indicator [PASS], flashing is finished.
Then, it will reboot itself. U can unplug yr USB cable.
That's it.

hi, I have just done upgrade and initialisation from Kies, and it redownloaded and reinstalled the latest software, took ages, and the button is still not working, so i guess it will have to go to the shop.
cheers for all your help, the button only works before the OS has started, as i can get into recovery menu.
thanks again.
mechanical or hardware problem
That seems pretty much a mechanical problem (button broken) or hardware issue (shortcut somewhere? could explain the screen problem...)

the buttoon does work, but only to get the phone into recovery mode at startup, so physically the button works, just not when the phone is powered into the android os.
Im a bit out of ideas.

It's a faulty button mate.
You don't need to use the home button to boot to recovery or download mode on the S4.
You can simply press volume up+power (recovery) or volume down+power (downloadmode) no need for home button at all.
This is why you think it works.

It's very true mate.
YOU DO NOT NEED HOME BUTTON TO BOOT TO RECOVERY, SIMPLE.
Your issue sounds different to the OPs.
If you refer back to his first post, he said his power button doesn't do ANYTHING.
"the home button just dont work, single click, and holding it in for the task manager dont do nothing either, but if i turn off the phone and hold the home, vol up, and power button, it boots into reset menu fine"
Yours works.

26.now ur phone will restart and in my case it didnt unlock my carrier. what a bummer but fear not we shall continue..
27. Now you have to root this phone, iv downloaded kingoroot for this..use whatever method u like to root ur phone.
28.now assuming ur phone is rooted, download regionlockaway follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470551 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2370437&d=1383564029
