[Guide][P600 Only] - Guide to return to stock with links to files!

I created a spot on my website for the stock Odin Tar's that I use for the P600.
I posted the US / XAR Region Stock Odin. I also posted the ML1 Asian base I used as well.
As I gather newer ones I will put them up and updated this thread.
Although this guide is written for the p600 it would, in theory work on any P60x device so long as you have the proper Odin files!
Note: This will not "untrip knox"!!!!!!!!
Here is the download page on my site:

How to Return to stock
This mini guide assumes the following...
You were able to root and or install a custom recovery or ROM therefore the drivers are installed on your PC for the tablet. So here we go...
Download Odin from the links in the OP
Extract the the .md5 file from the zip file you downloaded above.
Boot tablet into "Download" mode. You can do this by holding Power and Volume - (down) when the device is shut off. I note on this device it can be a little trickier so you may have to try a couple times. You should now see this on your tablet

}
Connect Tablet to PC using known good USB Cable
Start Odin and Press the "AP" button to load the tar.md5 file. This may take a minute as it is also calculating the MD5 to ensure you have a good file. A bad file means bad issues and it wont let you flash it (good fail safe).
Once Odin sees the Tar and loads it completely AND Odin sees the tablet press the Start button to begin. Can takes about 5 to 10 minutes so be patient. Do NOT check or uncheck mark ANY other Options in Odin unless you know what you are doing!
Once it complete you will have a factory image on your tablet. Yay!
But we are not done. You may also want to, at this point, reboot to recovery and do a full data wipe. This method of Odin leaves the SD card and user data intact. To get into recovery hold Power and Volume + until you see the stock Android recovery. Select format Data, reboot. Boom, your tablet is like brand new!

Guided added!

I'm glad you bumped it. I still haven't tried to install any custom ROM in this tablet, but this post will sure come in handy soon!

Indeed!

What happens if I failed to root (according to TWRP) and am stuck in the Samsung splash screen? I was obviously able to install TWRP so hopefully that is enough for Odin to get me back to stock
Will this work?

If you can see samsung screen you can odin back to stock.
The directions I posted should hold true about getting to Odin / Download Mode

Thanks for this guide, I agree, it should definitely be in the development section.

Hello
So will I get the OTA updates after this? How do I untrip knox?
thanks

Thanks for this Scott and a great ROM!!!!

Yes, this is returning you to stock like when you turned it on for the very first time.
No one knows how to untrip knox.

Is it Knox that blocks the ota updates, or is it the rooting itself?

Not sure. Never tried to Ota with KNOX.
Maybe ask in the Q/A forums.

Just to be safe, and If I do this the tablet will be as if it was completely new, right? I'm going to exchange it for another one and I want to be sure it's as new. Are there any flash counters or stuff like that I should be worried about?
Sent from my Nexus 5

So when a system update comes out we could use these directions to flash the stock rom with out loosing data, apps, settings, etc? Then be able to get the stock OTA?
Coming from the Nexus world, This is a bit different. Google seems to have no interest in the 10 inch sector though, so here we are.

Never have we had a tablet so heavily defended with so many issues. 6 tablets and this one stands out.

Tripping out?

I think I understand what you are saying, but I'm new to Android, and would appreciate a sanity check::cyclops:
1. Knox "trips" (i.e. opens a fusible link in the hardware) if you root the tab and (or?) boot with a non-factory ROM. Once it trips, it cannot ever be "untripped", even if you return to a factory ROM image. (Hence the emphatic statement in the quote.)
2. Question: If a tablet is currently, and has always been, unrooted and stock, will using Odin and these instructions with a factory ROM trip knox? For example, to upgrade to the factory KitKat image
3. Follow-up question: If I flash KitKat as above, can I return to the original release by following your guide, again without tripping knox?
Thanks for the guide and software, and for your help.

1. As far as anyone knows, Knox cannot be untripped.
2. If you Odin a FACTORY IMAGE it WILL NOT trip Knox. Only custom roms/rooting trips AFAIK.
3. I'm not 100% sure as I haven't tried, but I think I've seen discussions where the bootloader wasn't changed so you could go back. Again, I'm not 100% sure. Maybe we could get clarification from someone who tried.

Made a mistake, will pay someone to help me fix. {Fixed}

I'll cut right to the chase, I've soft-bricked my Note 3 (sm-9005). I bought it off Newegg and received it Friday. I proceeded to use Chainfire's root, and then installed TWirp which worked without incident. My problem started after I installed X-Note. My system was unstable, had no sound and would make calls but not receive them. (I'm in USA, on AT&T network).
I know I should have made a backup but I didn't. (Im a Samsung fan, have owned the Note 1, Galaxy 3, and now the International Note 3). I went to sammobile and the started to realize I was in trouble. (I don't know the original CSC) It was not printed on the box, and on the back of the phone my info is the same as The guys in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2628435.
Long story short. I've tried multiple stock recoveries. Some are stuck in a bootloop (at the Samsung screen). Some will appear to work but have no sound, camera doesn't work, etc. I can still get iinto Download mode, can even reflash Twirp after screwing up. When I try other custom roms they either bootloop or half way work (no sound, crashes, etc.)
I know NewEgg won't take this phone back, and honestly since i'm still able to access it via odin I dont want to send it in IF someone here can help me get it back, and I'll pay someone $100.00 via PayPal if they can.
I have TeamViewer / Skype, or will get whatever you need to help me Via / video call, over the phone, etc.
It is 10:00am (CST) right now. I will be back here at 12:30pm (2.5 Hours) I hope someone is willing to help me with this issue. 2 days working with this and i'm at my end.

If anyone is willing to help please let me know I'll keep this page open and will be refreshing it often, in the mean time I'll keep searching forums.

Was it JB or KK when got it?
Maybe you're trying to run a KK rom when you have a JB bootloader still?
Is the knox tripped?

Is on KK 4.2.2 Bootloader from Factory. I'm sure Knox was / is tripped because I had used ChainFire's root Friday night after getting the phone. Things went bad when I tried to flash X-Note yesterday.
I have reinstalled a Polish Rom (N9005XXUEND3_N9005XEOEND2_N9005XXUENC2_HOME), and it's booting up, but no sound at all, camera, etc. Also just checked, No modem, (IMEI or BaseBand) even though I flashed the above file thru Odin 3.7 [But WiFi, GPS works]
Edit #2: Downloading UK recovery firmware now.
Not that this will help, I do NOT remember anything about the country code, but /I can tell you the sticker on the back has some spanish on it, and when I started the welcome screen Friday I had to change the language from Spanish to English.
Heres a picture of the Sticker, sorry for the bad quality.

What do you mean by no modem / IMEI. If it doesn't show any IMEI number with Sim card inserted than it's probably due to corrupt EFS. Do you have a backup of EFS?

No I didn't make an EFS backup When I had my Note 1 there was never any mention about EFS on any rom I flashed and they all worked without issue, but i'm having a heck of a time.
Right it's showing Unknown BaseBand / or Imei under system / about.
With the UK rom it seems stable / not crashing, wifi works and I can surf, but No Cellular service, or sound, or camera.

hello there, as far as i know , csc is just customer service code or something like that, just bloatware and other stuff loaded for a specified region, an example, my device is for UAE, csc is xsi or something like that, but whats installed on the device is the polish firmware and the device is functioning properly
from what you stated that you had no idea which firmware version was installed prior to flashing the custom rom,
the following steps (may) be helpful for you
search the forums for these separate files and flash them separately, start with the modem/baseband as this is more important than sound and camera at the current time being
modem:
http://www.4shared.com/file/4YUQQVkYce/REPACK_DXUENE3_MODEM.html (credit goes to @SERGiooooo and those who extracted to files)
to flash modem go into download mode on the device and in odin select CP and unselect autoreboot, then reboot manually again to download mode and repeat and select autoreboot this time (flash it twice)
then you need to search for a compatible or recommended bootloader for your rom and flash it
and finally do a standard wipe and reinstall a rom of your choice which is compatible with your device
please keep in mind that you should only flash roms which are made for your variant( n9005 rom for n9005 and n900 for n900 and so on)
also keep in mind that some roms from sammobile.com wont be compatible (eg: hong kong nf1 is not compatible with other n9005's because of the diffrent pit )
make sure your device is 32gb n9005 and re download the rom again
finally, may i suggest to try this rom (stock based de-odexed based on ne4 and all the extra files like bootloaders and modems are included separately) and hope it solves the sound and other issues as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2649176
apologies for the details, this is just a suggestion coz I had the same issue with the IMEI and baseband problem
and always always do backups

I flashed singapore (NE4) stock rom (supposed to be international) from sammobile. After that, when I tried to go back to older modem my imei would be unknown, sound was messed up, and dialer would take a long time to start, but after flashing singapore modem back my imei would be there again.
It looks like that samsung is trying to block flashing of older versions of anything... Try that singapore rom (which is almost the latest available, and should flash latest everything bl, pda, csc, phone) and see if it works.

Downloading Now. IF you are my savior give me your PayPal Address and you'll be $100 richer. Quck question, first time I flash using Odin, just put .tar in PDA then flash, right? If I need to just flash the modem back, how do I do that?

PM Sent, your $100 is waiting.

Easy with the money and carefully with flashing.
Yes, put it in pda, make sure that only auto reboot and f.reset time are checked, nothing else. Modem is included in the rom. If you are flashing only modem you put it in phone field. The thing is I'm not sure You'll be able to go back to old modem after you flash this one (NE3), when I tried flashing my old modem it messed up things, and flashing whole older ROM would skip flashing modem because it would detect newer already there.
Put your phone in download mode (make sure that battery is at least 60%)
Start Odin and open tar file in pda, wait a minute or two till md5 is checked when it says it's checked an ok connect your phone. I'll assume you installed samsung drivers previously. Wait a few moments here because windows might install drivers (if you have never connected your phone while in dl mode). Now there shoud be device added in ID:COM field in Odin and it should be blue/green. now you can press start.

You both helped me. I am thankful to have it back up and working. I don't understand why on my Note 1 (AT&T locked), I was able to flash every rom on that forum with no issues; Every Rom on this forum gives me BAD issues, could I have got a bad phone or something? (It was new in box, ordered from Newegg.com), but could it be defective somehow?

@ciribic I sent you a PM,
OP allow me to clear any misunderstanding with fellow members and please give all credit to him as I did nothing
now back to your question , you probably flashed roms based on recent stock TW roms and those require you to be on recent bootloaders and modems, reason for this difference is that rom builders take into consideration that the user does not want to trip his KNOX flag and may use other methods to flash the rom without using custom recovories like TWRP/CWM (ex mobile odin, safestrap) so most custom roms come without modems and bootloaders and if you unzip the x-note rom you will see that there are no bootloaders and modems included if im not mistaken
Now to get rid of any OCD related to the your device whether its faulty or not, try flashing back x-note <after> you make a complete backup in TWRP(my personal favorite) and im 95% sure that you will not have these issues anymore

Making that Twirp Backup as I type this, got an SD card just for that purpose now. TBH, I could care less about warranty because it won't cover Water damage, drops, misuse and that's where 99% of my past problems have happened. Knox is annoying to no end, I just got through running System Uninstaller to pull all the knox libraries / apk's and modules out.
I think i'll just stick a better optimized / open kernel on it and launcher, and call it quits. I'm 42, after these past 2 days, I feel 82.

good decision and hope u enjoy your new phone :good:

[GUIDE] Baseband/Radio "stuck" and not updating? Here's how to fix it!

Okay, so I've had this issue for a few months now where no matter what I tried, I could not update my Baseband. I tried everything I could think of - flashed the full stock Rom, used mobile ODIN, flashed twice, etc. but no matter what, the baseband would stick to the old one. I tried googling and looking around but the same tricks as above were posted again and again to no avail.
I eventually found the answer, it was a single post buried in a thread on here. As I keep seeing posts from other users with the same issue, I figured I'd write a quick guide so that hopefully those searching for the problem will find it.
So to reiterate - you've just updated to a new firmware (custom or otherwise) but your radio (aka baseband) has not changed. You then try to flash the radio directly but it still won't change. What gives?
Well to fix it, you're going to need the following:
Odin 3.07
Triangle Away (Thanks to Chainfire, as always)
A Method of rooting your device (I'm leaving this up to you as it's a warranty voiding experience and I presume you know how to do that by this point).
An official Samsung firmware containing the radio you want to update to
If you're currently on an AOSP based ROM, then I have bad news - you'll need to flash back to touchwiz to do this. Once you're done, you can flash back though.
Remember to make a backup of all your data, as you will be doing a lot of flashing here.
Note: You may be able to fix your stuck radio problem without flashing back to a completely stock firmware and cutting corners elsewhere, however I wanted this guide to be bulletproof, deviating slightly may produce different results. If all else fails, follow each step below exactly!
Remember: This guide is specifically for those of you who have tried other methods and are still stuck on an old baseband. If you're just looking how to flash your radio, there are easier and less involved methods that don't require any wiping - I strongly advise you to try those first.
Okay, by this point I'm going to assume you've done all your backups and are ready to start flashing.
Step 1: Reboot your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (aka Odin). To do this, hold down POWER, VOL-DOWN and HOME at the same time until you see the following screens:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Remember to let go of the above buttons and press "volume up" to continue.
Step 2: Open up Odin 3.07, click on the "PDA" button and select the stock firmware file you have downloaded (file should have a ".tar.md5" extension, if you downloaded a .zip file you'll need to extract it but DO NOT EXTRACT MORE THAN THIS, you want a single .tar.md5 file).
Step 3: With your phone connected to your PC running ODIN, click "start". This will take a few mins, so be patient.
Step 4: Root. Now your phone should be rebooting into some pretty awful stock Samsung firmware. Boo. However this is a necessary evil. Here you need to root your phone. CF-Auto-Root is my preferred method but this trips Knox so do what you feel is best.
Step 5: Install and run Triangle Away. Triangle Away requires a Stock samsung kernel, which is why you've just flashed a full Samsung firmware. Triangle away requires root, which is why you've just performed Step 4.
Step 6: Install the Stock Firmware. Again.
That's right, repeat steps 2 and 3 once more to flash that stock Samsung firmware all over again. Except this time, your system is reporting that it's "official" and TriangleAway has cleared some flags that were preventing the updated radio from installing. When your phone reboots, your radio should have updated.
You're done! From here, you can do whatever you like - flash another custom ROM (you're still rooted at this point), wipe and restore a backup you made earlier, switch to AOSP or whatever. Personally, I would go buy Chainfire a beer as TriangleAway is what makes this all possible.

Nice....it helped me :good:
Thanks :highfive:

No need this，too complicated。
Only turn off the phone, then remove the battery ,
install it
and get into download model ,
Flash the radio.
that you can update the baseband

Turn off your phone manually. Leave it for 10 sec, dont need to remove battery, Put the modem on Phone, NOT PDA connect your phone and flash it. It is simple.

Believe me when I say that I tried that, I tried just about everything before it would finally stick. Removing battery, leaving it off for 10s+ (I did this numerous times as TriangleAway demands it due to the risk if bricking your phone and one time left it off/unplugged for a good 20mins to no avail). There was some kind of write protection in place, Mobile ODIN (yeah tried that as well) mentioned it when trying to flash the Radio - hence why TriangleAway is needed.
Before it got "Stuck", I had manually updated my Modem a few times without issue. I've had the Note 3 since launch and voided Knox within about 2 days of getting it - believe me, I've been there and done that

Nothing worked for me also until I tried this method...

Here's what I don't like, and what I "Do" Like...
Like....
1) A post in the proper forum that seems to help a few people fix their issue when other methods didn't seem to work.
Dislike...
1) Somebody coming in touting their own method (which may or may not work for a particular user). This, believe it or not, only adds to confusion when a person looks for an answer. Now there are different methods in the same thread topic.
2) 2 pages of back and forth arguing as a result of the above ^^^
So, I'll delete all posts concerning this debate on procedures.
Folks, don't go poaching other users threads please. If they provide a solution that helps a few users, then that is GREAT!!! Not all normal solutions work for all users. Stick around long and you will discover this on your own one day.
Cleaned thread, please don't make me come back and do it again.

Thanks Moscow. I apologise for what happened, I didn't mean to cause a fuss.
To show there's no hard feelings, I've updated the OP with a warning that this is specifically for those who are still stuck after trying out other methods. Hopefully that's enough to keep everyone happy.

Guide Odin Flash / Update firmware ODIN
You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.
Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray!
0. Download and Install: Mod edit: Malicious links removed.
1. Just download the firmware version you want from this posts[/URL] and extract the .tar or .tar.md5 file in the archive and save it somewhere.
2. Reboot your phone to download mode. To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!
3. Start Odin 3.**[/URL]
If your ROM is a single .tar.md5 package click on the AP/PDA button and browse to the .tar or .tar.md5 file that you extracted in step 1 and select it.
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA/Code, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin like below
BL = Bootloader
AP = PDA (CODE)
CP = PHONE (MODEM)
CSC = CSC
4. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
5. Connect the USB cable and wait for any required Mod edit: Malicious link removed. to install and the ID:COM section to turn blue like below.
6. Click start to flash.
7. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device once the flash has started, it will reboot when it finishes.
*Note PDA/AP/CSC/CO/MODEM/etc
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
.tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the CSC bit of the package
.tar with code/PDA/AP in the name is the PDA/AP part of the firmware package

Will this wipe the phone or just root it?
Can I just flash the recovery and SuperSU to get the root?

The 930FD dual SIM uses the same firmware as 930F single SIM. More discussion here (not a link to firmware). Did you try unrooting with SuperSU? Knox is already tripped by the way and that's irreversible.

Ok I was just making sure, what firmware would I use for an international phone being as I live in the USA.
Thanks

Apologize if this is a noob question (i searched) . I have a G930F in the U.S. with AT&T , Will any of these firmware versions improve cell reception etc? If I switch firmwares will it allow UK version of Samsung Pay?

As far as I know, if you flash your phone with another rom is because you have rooted the phone. If you have rooted the phone, then of course you have tripped Knox and therefore Samsung pay wont work, let alone android pay

No firmware from the link

Your first question, don't know. You'll have to experiment.
Your second question, if Samsung Pay comes to the UK in May as predicted, it will probably only work with select UK financial institutions.

Flashing ROMs and rooting are two different activities independent of each other. Flashing a ROM doesn't necessarily root the device. Flashing official Samsung firmwares don't root the device or trip Knox.

[GUIDE]SM-T710 6.0.1 Marshmallow Installation and fast DL link

This guide has been made for sm-t710, but you can follow it for any model (t715, t810 and t815) by just using the right Odin flashable TWRP file and Odin flashable firmware file for your device.
Here you have the link(for sm-t710):
T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_BTU.zip
Just downloaded from www.sammobile.com T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_BTU/ and re-uploaded to MEGA.
Tested and working on my spanish sm-t710, in my case I had my device rooted and with TWRP, as well as a 5.1.1 Optimal Rom.
After following this instructions, somehow i didn't loose any personal data or installed aplication, so this guide will just update our device from lollipop rom to Marshmallow BUT we will loose root AND TWRP, just follow the guide to reinstall TWRP and root after update. If you didn't had root before following this guide, you can root the tab before of after it, but I recomend you to first install TWRP and backup personal data before following this guide.
Instructions:​Requirements:​->Root the tablet. (Recomended)
->Install TWRP (Recomended but I think it isn't needed)
->Enable USB Debugging on your tab.
->Make sure you have Samsung drivers installed on your PC.
->Download and extract the zip file to get the firmware file which is in .tar.md5 extension.
->Download and extrat Odin from here: Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
Installation:​1->Turn off your tab and boot it into the Download Mode. To do this, turn off your device and then press and hold Volume Down + Home + Power buttons simultaneously for 2-3 seconds. When you see the warning screen with a yellow triangle sign, press the Volume Up/Down key to enter Download/Odin mode.
2->Download the required Odin.zip file and extract the file on your PC. You will get the Odin3_v3.10.7.exe file. Open it as the administrator to get to the Odin window.
3->Connect your Galaxy device to the computer using the USB cable.
4->When you connect the device, the ID: COM port on Odin will turn Blue. You’ll also see“Added!!” message to indicate successful connection. If Odin des not detect your tab, try to reinstall drivers, try another usb cable and another usb port.
5-> Check "AP" box and click on AP. A window will pop up, just go to the folder where you extracted the firmware and select T710XXU2CPD9_T710BTU2CPD9_HOME.tar.md5 file (name may vary according to device model)
6->Now Odin is checking MD5 and will freeze for a minute or so, but don't worry, just let Odin work.
7->Click on the "Options" section and make sure that only the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time boxes are checked. (Do not, in any case, check Re-Partition box).
8->Now, click the Start button on Odin to begin firmware installation.
10->Once you get a PASS! message on Odin, your device will restart. It’s the green signal that indicates a successful installation.
11->Once our device restarts, you can disconect it.
12-> Enjoy Marshmallow :fingers-crossed: on our Tab s2 (First boot will last for some minutes, just be patient! :laugh: )
TWRP installation:​1->Download TWRP from this THREAD according to your device (Lollipop 5.X.X just works fine). Thanks to ashyx.
2->Flash with odin following steps 2 to 11 from above.
12->Enjoy Marshmallow with TWRP!
ROOT:​1->Download the SuperSu TWRP flashable ZIP from this THREAD (don´t extract it) and put in on the root of the internal sd by conecting the device to pc.
2->Turn off our device.
3->Hold HOME+VOL UP+POWER until TWRP screen apears.
4->If it says something about reading-only mode, just swipe that whtie triangles from below.
5->On the main menu, select "Install" and click on the SuperSu zip, then swipe to confirm flash.
6->Reboot and enjoy Marshmallow with TWRP and root! :highfive: :good:

Hi, this isn't a modified (untouched)firmware file, so if you flash with odin it may not trip knox warranty. I'm not completely sure, as I had knox warranty void before. The problem comes when you try to flash anything non-official files with Odin (modified roms, root or twrp), these files will trip the knox flag for sure.

thanks for the replies im new to flashing samsung devices (coming from nexus)..
one other question...my CSC is XAC (canadian) will that stay the same if i flash this UK rom? ive read some have had issues with wifi with flashing other region roms...TIA

I recommend you guys try out http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...elease/good-lock-24-0-7-android-apk-download/ . It is awesome. Tablet feels like a Nexus.

Just upgraded my T710 from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 with user data untouched. TWRP, root and Xposed all reinstalled successfully. One thing worth mentioning is that for SuperSu, Latest version (BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip) instead of Stable version has to be used.

If you bother to read the thread you'd know it won't trip knox if it's unmodified Samsung firmware. Also, telling people to answer quick is rude. Please learn to read the thread before you ask questions, and learn this is a forum, people will answer as they see the question and when they have time.

Can you install this on the t810? Might be as dumb question but they are identical?

If you FACTORY RESET AFTER installing SuperSu, You will need to reflash the marshmallow image again to re-root.

there're no news for the T810?

No files available for T810 yet... Just wait a little longer

You may not be able to connect to any Wireless N 5G networks as the UK uses another frequency range for that, however mine keeps appearing, then vanishing, so I'm not sure what that's all about
Another thing I noticed, it does NOT allow you to format your SD card as internal storage. I'm running Cm13 on an LF v400 that allows formatting a fast enough SD card as internal, so I'm not sure if that's some work done by the CM team or if Samsung has disabled this feature. It was my understanding that even Lollipop was supposed to do this but neither tablet will, so I thought at least Marshmallow 6 or 6.0.1 would, but with this UK ROM, I am unable to do so.

I rooted mine without tripping Knox... at least until it asked me if I wanted to disable Knox alerts, then it tripped the flag. I had rooted it twice before, without disabling and Knox was still flagged 0, so if you root it, DO NOT CHOOSE TO DISABLE THE WARNINGS ABOUT KNOX.

I believe it the update app checks the model and build number, so it's most likely you'll get the UK updates. You can always reflash the official US one once we get it (or which ever country you're from) and then it'll update the proper region

My gripe about not being able to format the SD card as Internal is pretty legit. Other devices it gives you both options when you format the SD card: Portable or as Internal storage.
The Galaxy Tab S2 with the UK firmware does NOT have the option.
You can, however, turn USB debugging on, authenticate the computer, and:
adb shell
sm list-disks
take note of the disk named, it should only list one like "disk:166:190"
type sm partition disk:166:190 private (To utilize the whole disk as internal)
or
type sm partition disk:166:190 private mixed 50 (To use 50% of the disk as internal and 50% portable) This method will show two disks when you plug the device into the computer, while the other aforementioned option will only show one - the now larger internal disk.
