Help returning to stock.

I unrooted the tab and returned it to stock by flashing the stock rom in cwm. I then replaced cwm with the stock recovery. Now when I try to update 3.1 to touchewize kies says the model can't be upgraded. The in tablet update option says it is updated.
How do I fix this?

Really could use some help,
Thanks

I've heard of this happening to a few people.
Don't quote me on this because I'm not sure, but I THINK what happened is that there is a version of KF3 (the stock, shipping firmware on the retail 7510 WIFI) going around that was either a pre-release version, or toyed with in some way so that it does not appear as an officially-released Samsung firmware.
In other words, there's no update path from this ROM using the OTA method or KIES....OTA will fail and KIES will say it's an unsupported firmware.
Your answer would be to try finding another version of KF3 somewhere, clearing all caches and flashing that, and seeing if that would help.

I totally forgot about this until now, but I have a Nandroid backup of the stock firmware right after a Factory Data Reset. So it's clean and I KNOW it's the right one since it came from my unaltered device before I rooted.
Only problem is, I have NO idea how to turn a Nandroid backup into a fully-functional CWM flashable zip or as an ODIN file. If someone can give me some directions on how to do, I'd be able to upload it somewhere for you.

This would be great....I need to get this thing completely stock...
I appreciate the help

Your other option if you want the latest official release, which includes Touchwhiz, is to flash back clockwork, flash the the TW ROM, and then flash the stock recovery back.

Teamovercome created an ODIN version to flash stock KME without root and has the stock recovery.
Check out this page: http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=20 and look for ROM | 001002-P7510_KME_Restock.zip and download.
They have instructions on how to flash it with ODIN here http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 Scroll down until you see installation for restock.

i messed up bid time

so I have been on vision x rom for last couple months. I had a guy flash the stock rom back on my phone and now I have an att update aprox 359mb ready to install BUT I cannot update it. after update completes it boots into twrp. how can I uninstall twrp or is it something I missing. thanks for your help in advance. NOOB here

Do you know what firmware you're on? I don't what stock rom the guy flashed but it must not have been the stock firmware or you wouldn't have twrp.

Your are on mdb firmware. If flashing custom roms is important to you what I would do is use Odin to upgrade you to mdl firmware. That is probably the same firmware that you have the update for based on its small size. If you use Odin you will lose root and twrp. But you'll be able to put those back on.

If you run into problems just ask. The firmware you can get from sammobile.com. You have to register but it's free.

Are you sure you want to take that update (I'm assuming it's the MF3 update)?
If you do, you will be limited to using safestrap and the custom roms you can flash in the future.
If you stay at MDL, you can still install a custom 4.3 rom (or the stock 4.3 release without bootloaders once it's available).
You can even install stock MF3 without the bootloaders from the dev section to get the update.
If you want to have an unlocked bootloader and have complete freedom to flash whatever you want on your phone, you only want to update to MDL as mentioned above and not take the MF3 update.
Once your at official OTA MF3, your bootloader is locked and there is no turning back (just trying to help and make sure you are aware of what happens if you take the OTA and upgrade to MF3).
Good Luck

NB1 to MK2

i tried the NB1 to MK2 method. the odin failed for no reason, saying that "Completion(write) failed". i tried several times and tried again after rebooting the computer and it worked. but the problem is that my phone wont boot. it's stuck on the samsung screen. how do i fix this? i did everything right! i double checked before initiating the odin. the phone wont even go to the downloadmode. Can JTAG fix this? JTAG worked last time when my MF3 got bricked.

also it wont even get to the stock recovery

Ijust saw that there isnt a root method yet for NB1. If you haven't upgraded to 4.4 yet then you should try to get flashed back to MK2 and root it until there is a reliable rooting method for 4.4

i'm now on NB1, and i heard that the root method for NB1 should probably come out before verizon's NB1 release, so i'm just gonna wait until the NB1 root comes out. Because i seriously messed up my phone twice, so i'm not trying to do complicated things now.

I bricked my phone by that method. but since there is NB1 full tar, i'm gonna give it another try if the root method doesn't come out. I don't know what the problem was, but anytime i do something, i screw up my phone. I was a dev for Galaxy A in Korea, but now things have changed too much and now i barely install a rom.

Yeah, rooting was so much easier back in the day of unlocked boot loaders. My Galaxy Skyrocket just demands to wear a new rom every chance it gets. The Galaxy S4 on At&t is more difficult & the instructions must be followed exactly when flashing custom roms or it's Odin tar file party time. All in all, it's so worth it. The Kit Kat roms that are out thus far are just amazing. Thanks XDA!

But still i cant install AOSP roms. I like AOSP better

Why do you want ota when you can flash via odin?
Use wanam xposed while being on root and change the thing to official (xposed->security) Might work.
Plus see if your custom counts are nil. (That's not possible as of now i think.)

There are not much changes with everytime.
Im on NH4 till date and did not bother to flash things.
If you want to try a rom relating to a particular firmware..you can just flash/update the bootloader of your phone
And most of the roms function on the same firmware. A few of the devs use different bootloaders.
And yes. If youre on an updated bootloader, you cannot downgrade
Rest use wanam xposed to change your value from custom to official. That is the only way I can think of. You need root.
Flash philz. Flash deknox script. Reroot via philz. Use wanam xposed.
Because maybe under settings-->about phone the official thing is set to custom.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------
Ohh and i forgot to mention.
If an OTA stops in between a flash (very common and frequent). You still need an odin flashable file
And generally samsung sends OTA updates when most of the world is done with the upgrade via Odin. Nobody gets it on day one of release (a few of them are lucky lets not talk about them)
And we know what samsung does to its Indian customers.
(Ive just received OTA twice. One on Note2 when I had it and the other on S4 relating to knox 1.0 to 2.0)
They fool the sh|t out of you at times.

So, I have the MF3 firmware and wanted to update it to the latest version. I backed up my phone, went to settings->Accounts->Backup and Reset->Factory Data Reset

I'm aware anytime you mess with these kind of things, there is some risk, I just want to know it should be safe, it's been tested before, and I'm not just rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

Using TriangleAway app might brick ur phone and it might affect our phone, if u try it and it is Hard Brick and thats will be a problem over there.
Hard Brick and Soft Brick are different
Hard Brick is your phone is dead can't turn to recovery or download mode and you need to change ur motherboard
Soft Brick is usually just when you're phone is stuck in a bootloop, and as the name implies, is caused by a software error, usually the lack of a system to boot from or some other minor software bug that glitching boot. They are easily fixable by reflashing your ROM in recovery.
