I want to downgrade my Tab2 back to 4.1.1, I loved the tablet when I first got it but I have had so many issues with 4.2.2 that I just want to be done.
I have searched everywhere and either the link to the file is dead or I can't find the right file for my model number. Does anyone know where I can get the 4.1.1 firmware.
What model number is your Tab 2?
I'm sorry, i was waiting for a reply i didn't see you update the title.
I can't link to the files because they are too slow for XDA to allow links. However, if you go to SamMobile and click on firmwares you can put P5113 in the search box and they all come up. Be aware though, they are very very slow downloads and you need to become a member (free) to get the link
Like you i can only find dead links apart from this site. Good luck

This morning connected my Galaxy Tab to KIES and it prompted that there is an update !!
it took ages to download its binary files then finally after it got done, it gave me a decryption error !!
I have changed my sales code to gain access to market, could this be the problem or do i redownload the files !!
Isn't there a way to UPGRADE fw via OTA? or placing update.zip in root of sd nd flashing from recovery? (similar to HTC devices)
how do I upgrade to the latest version? help please
Cheers
Jackie
PS: Please find attached the firmware code : current and new !
Are you UK based Jackie? Just guessing as you said cheers! I've seen nothing this morning though have read there was an Android Market update which I had already downloaded and applied, maybe why I'm seeing no update.
no I'm based in UAE !! that's just teh way I speak !!
Ah right, nice to read it all the same, Cheers!
so anyone has any idea?
Jackie,
I don't bother with Kies.... It put my SGS in a right mess and couldn't be used until I sorted it out with another ROM and a different PC software upgrader by the name of Odin.
Your best bet is to go on over to samfirmware.com and check out the latest ROM's available.
I'm sending you also a link which although was written for the SGS and Froyo it's still relevant for ROM files for the Tab and how to use Odin.
See here:- How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo

First, what ROM version do you currently have installed?
Next, look at the list of ROM's available see here.
You need to find out if you are on a European, Asian, Arabic, etc ROM and decide if you want to stay on that list or opt to another nation list.
For European lists JMA is the latest. There's a topic on JMA here.
PDA: P1000JPJJ2
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000OJPJJ3
is what is being reported on *#1234# and samfirmware says this is the Arabic firmware and the latest for Arabic is P1000JVJL1 December 2010, not that I'm interested in any of the region specific apps - just wondering what has been fixed in these firmwares and also if flashing would delete all my data (I'm guessing it would)
I don't mind flashing a European firmware too, so which would be best?
PS: Tab is currently rooted with OCLF set ! =)
Cheers
Hi may i ask if you do firmware update does the tab have to be sim free not lock to a network as im on t-mobile uk, i dont want to brick my tab
thanks

It should not delete any data.
The browser and camera have been improved.
The browser now scrolls smoother.
The camera focus's much better.
No idea what other improvements have been made.
It does not really matter which firmware you wish to use BUT bear in mind a number of users who have performed a lagfix have had issues in upgrading the ROM.
You MUST ensure you remove any lagfix applied otherwise you stand a good chance in bricking the phone.
Also, ensure you have access to the Recovery and download mode.
You will need this if you 'brick' the phone.

You need someone who is on a T-Mobile locked phone to answer this. I have heard of users on carrier networks who have run into issues.
Basically, unless you have a sound knowledge in what you are doing I would not attempt it until you get good solid advice.
seems like a long procedure, I'll hold off until i'm done with my exams....
also should I try KIES again? just in case ?? o.0

You can try but I'd still make sure you have access to recovery and download first, just in case anything goes wrong.
Aight !! thanks a bunch !! will do
Got a similar problem... info says its P1000XXJID, valid euro firmware... Bought the tab in Hungary (Middle of europe), carrier free, and after looking at samfirmware.com's ROM list I was wondering about the updates.
Kies tells me this version can't be updated...
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Many, Many of us here in UK are having problems and are unsuccessful when trying to update/upgrade using Kies.
Hopefully Kies will get fixed properly to allow us all to use it.

Even ActiveSync was better... at least it didn't offer the SW update...
to trick kies to update u could use kies registry patcher. I have sucsessfully updated via kies from jj3 -> jj7 (when no updates was availible)
read thru this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863386
Use the info from check fus and paste it in registry patcher, reboot pc - start kies - connect phone - something should happen.
Dear All,
I have the following phone:
Model number: GT-I9100G
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100GZCKI1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD-ZCKI1
This phone is original bought in China Mainland, so, no google sync, no market, no Whatsapp... Even no useful GPS...
I was reading lot of posts and I decided to change my firmware into a european one...
I get the open europe version, download Odin, put in debug mode...
SOFT BRICK! (Now I know perfectly the meaning of this).
PANIC MODE ON!
Cold sweat running my back, ashtray full, 2:30 am... Nothing.
Next morning, after a hard night full of nightmares with my phone, I was searching information how to get it back... so I get the official chinese firmware.
Download again, use Odin, Start... NOTHING!
I was searching a JTAG service center in China when OMG, a clever malasian guy said:
"The secret to the sauce: The correct PIT file should have been included, and "re-partition" option is ticked and the correct PIT file for I9100G is as attached."
**I can't post the link**
(PS: THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!)
uffff! Saved.
As now I have the key to come back to the original status... Let's try other options...
I tried superoneclick: Blocked on step 7
I tried another post here suggesting use the I9100ZNKG5-ownhere-v1.2.4.Odin:Success, but, can't turn on. Stops at the beggining with our yellow triangle friend...
Oh, I've forget to say that I'm in china, so search and download firmwares is an epic task! hotfile, rapidshare and so on are blocked! At least I have a VPN, but I'm sure that not everyone have...
So now, what can I do? Is there any solution to take the chinese firmware out?
I was wondering maybe the .pit file is the solution to use ZNKG5... but I can't find it anywhere.
I have read another post from a Colombian guy (sorry, I don't have the link) that there is method changing the modem in a clockwork orange... really, too complicated to me.
My intention is keep a post with all the files needed to change the firmware if is possible.
You can put here your links and I will upload the files into chinese web storages, because the problem is from phones bought from China, so I guess people will be living in China...
I get the open europe version, download Odin, put in debug mode...
SOFT BRICK! (Now I know perfectly the meaning of this).
PANIC MODE ON!
Usual is not flashing G Model firmware but flashing i9100 firmware .
PIT files are dangerous do not use or repartition as that may brick your phone .
jje
So, can I use any firmware meanwhile is G version?
Maybe I've downloaded the not G one...
Well, try is worthy.
You need to use i9100g firmware, I9100 stuff will not work.
Now to root you can flash this kernel, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369977
There is a custom rom for the i9100g, let me just find it and I will come back and link
Edit: rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374135
You can also check http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for stock unmodified roms, but make sure you use one for i9100g, that g is important, it's almost a totally different phone than the international version, only the name and screen are the same.

To be honest I don't know that much about the i9100g, download your stock firmware, from sammobile or elsewhere, (I tried looking but the results where mostly in Chinese which I don't speak, sorry) so if the version you flash does not work you can jump back
Here is more info; http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2068824/all
Also Google for checkfus as it should allow you to download the firmwares from Samsung.

FFS, G model has a different CPU do not use any NONE G firmware.
Chinese model has different signed boots which will reject any firmware which is NOT for the Chinese version.
Double Trouble
Take it back, go to a black market and buy the international version
or just enjoy the phone as it was meant to be.
But we are speaking about software right?
I mean, must be a way to change the boot right or something right?
And hope I could turn it back, but too late... And I'm sure that more people should be in the same situation.

You could use JTAG and change the boots to the normal G version instead of the Chinese G boots.
Hey! I have the market on my phone! and Whatsapp!
As soon as I can link webs I will put all of the information!!!
Yujuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
It's like have a new phone!
Ok, I can paste links.
I will upload the files and share them next week.
Ok!
As promised here are the files and guide about how to change your chinese i9100g into a "civilizated" phone:
STEP 0 (SECURITY COPY)
Make a security copy of your contacts, pictures, movies.... This process will delete EVERYTHING from your phone.
STEP 1 (ODIN)
Get Odin from below link and open it
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677120037/Odin3-v1.85.zip
STEP 2 (ROOT)
Download below link and root your phone with Odin.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677118927/I9100G_ZCKH4_KERNEL_ROOT.tar
There are several guides on this forum about how to do but moreless is:
Take out the connection wire if you have it
Turn off your phone
Put it into download state (volume down+home+power)
Press volume up to confirm the download state
Turn on Odin
Connect the phone to the computer
on PDA use the KERNEL ROOT file that you have just downloaded
re-partition must be UNchecked
START
STEP 3 (ROM)
Download the link below and do the same procedure as above but in the PDA put the file you just have downloaded.
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677117442/I9100G_ZCKI1_MIC_03.tar
STEP 4 (WIFI & Yellow triangle on start up)
Download below link and same as before (Put this file on PDA and START).
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677119517/i9100G_ZCKI1_KERNEL.tar
Your phone will be in chinese as when you bought it. Just change the language.
ENJOY!!!
Oh, in case of failure or just "in case"...
Original firmware:
http://www.wupload.com/file/2677126677/I9100GZCKI1_I9100GZCKI1_I9100GOZHKI1.tar.md5

Suggestions are accepted!
Google navigation not work is normal , because only work in europe or usa , asia and hong kong can't use it

Hello All
Just joined this site in the hope the experts maybe able to help.
I have not altered changed or modified my Tab in any way, mainly because if i tried i would probably blow it up. I currently have Version 4.0.3 on my Tab and never seem to get an upgrade in Kies for it. I am seeing on a lot of web sites that JB 4.1.1 is now available for it, ON KIES, but I can't get it.
I live in Spain and Spain seems to be listed in the locations where the upgrade is available.
I also have an Sll, which has upgraded to JB.
Anyone got any ideas please?
Thank you in advance.

I tried that before, but where the instructions say, look for the file with 'CODE' in it, wasn't there. So couldn't get any further.
Can anyone recommend a *reliable* download source for the sm-p580 firmware? The link in my newbie guide is no longer working.

I am still waiting for SamMobile to have the firmware available for download before I attempt anything. It's has been months. I won't download a firmware for my SM-580 from a untrusted site.
I live in India but I purchased my Tab A 10.1 with S Pen from the US. Recently I read on the Internet everywhere that Nougat has started rolling out for SM-P580, but I don't know, I don't seem to receive it yet. Tried manual pulling of the OTA as well. But of no use. Tried connecting using VPNS but still no update. Did anyone in the US receive it yet? If yes can you please post the screenshots and also how did you receive the update ?

1) Mine is an SM-T520

On a WiFi Tab you can flash every FW you want !
