Does anyone have a copy of the stock firmware for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 SM-T537V that wont take me 2.5 hours to download? The FirmWare is T537VVZW1ANE2 not the current ANK1 firmware. Im trying to root my tablet but need it on the old firmware.

Did my link really say it would take you 2.5 hours to download? Because that's really disappointing for android file host, it usually takes me 15-20 minutes, absolute maximum. Check your inbox, I'll PM you another link to the file shortly.
Edit: Oh wow I'm sorry it would help if I actually read carefully, you needed the old NE2, not NK1. Crap yeah the only source right now for that is rapidgator, will take me about 9 hours to download (hideous, I know, that's why I was motivated to start my thread in the first place). I'll start downloading it now, add to my thread and PM you a link but it seriously is going to take ~9 hours or so. Sorry I forgot to actually check which build number you were after; I had a private link all ready for you, but for NK1 not NE2 :crying:
I got it.

These are links to factory images that I have pulled from different sources and have posted here for you guys to use to to restore your tablets to factory out of the box status they all work. Personally tested. If you have any problems its usually a bad download. So just redownload and you should be okay then. I regularly use these files when I experiment and they all work. I will update the thread when new firmwares are released. The latest was released June the 13th and seems to help with the battery drain issues. Im getting 7 hours screen on time now whereas before I was getting maybe 4.
Those files....ALL OF THEM ARE FOR THE N5110 ONLY. N5110 US VERSION ONLY. MEANING THE WIFI VERSION. SO PLEASE PLEASE DONT FLASH THESE TO ANY OTHER DEVICES. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESTROYED DEVICES. You have been warned.
You will lose custom recovery and root access when you flash these, remember its putting your tablet back to how it was when you bought it. The easiest way to regain root access is to use mskips toolkit. Its a great tool and works 100 percent of the time. Hes a highly skilled developer and I stand by everything he puts out so check out his thread in original development and download his toolkit. Another benefit of downloading his toolkit is that it contains the ODIN version you will need to flash these files. So check him out. You wont be disappointed.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Below is a small 6 megabyte file update.zip pushed to United States n5110 devices this morning.
Must be flashed completely stock. This brings your firmware to ueemf2.
REMEMBER THIS IS A PATCH OTA FILE I GRABBED FROM MY DEVICE WHEN IT WAS PUSHED OUT TO MY US N5110. Gotta be completely stock to flash.
Change log for ueemf2 is
"Stability improvements“
But there does seem to be faster ui. Tell me what you think. Link below.

Never use Dropbox public links for sharing to masses. They will block these after a certain amount of traffic. Instead use the sharing function, which will lead the user to the dropbox site from where you can download as easy as with public links.
Thank you. Looking forward for your post
Does anyone know how to use Google drive to upload. I keep getting but o see nothing happening. Nothing no progress bar nothing
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2
Just open the browser, and go to Google Drive. Select the file that you want to upload and drop it in the browser. Once it finish to load the file you need to select the file, right click and share it.
Yea but it just hangs at waiting for upload
I know I sound stupid but I've been trying all dn day to get it to upload. Just hangs at waiting to upload. Then sometimes it starts stops and disappears then notification comes up saying I have no more space on my phone which has 8 gb free. This is weird

Newest firmware released and uploaded check OP FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS. hopefully this will help those of you out of a pickle. Remember restoring to factory stock may remove root access and erase data . It will also replace custom recovery with the standard android recovery. So no complaining about lost stuff...
But this will save you if you borked up your nice shiny tablet. Guaranteed.
Yourrrr welcome. Pm me for questions help and concerns. A question not asked is the only stupid question. Oh and " use the search function" replies that are frequently told to new users are not allowed here. Period. Respect all.

Hi, I just received my Note 8 and want to confirm if those original images are for any 5110. Are there many different models or I can just install the newest one.
Thanks,

Hi! I have just 8 days with my galaxy Note and I have already install civato's rom and that kind of things. So my question is if I can install this firmware to revert all to stock, but my device says: N5110XXBMC9.
So that's what I'm asking!

Probably not. This firmware is for the UNITED STATES version of the galaxy note 8.0. I am not sure if you can or not. You may need to look for a firmware for your country.
Heres a helpful link.
Sammobile.com
Click firmwares fill out the click box forms and it will pull up whatever is available for your country or region. Then youll be able to download the stock firmware for your specific model.

I bought my N5110 in Canada and it came with XXBMC9 stock. I later flashed Civ's custom kernel and Rom which was the US version XXBMD1. Then yesterday I flashed the new UEEMF1 firmware from Beanstown's thread and it's all working great for me.
I recently bricked my tablet and I eventually fixed it by installing the other version of the firmware for the Tab 4 7.0, and I realized that I have lost the Nook features of the tablet. Is it possible to get them back?

Tab 4 7.0 Nook Edition Firmware File
Yeah i got the same thing. I really really despise RapidGator
Thanks for the help I installed the firmware successfully.
As of 10/26, Sprint rolled out the latest firmware for G930P (Galaxy S7), G930PVPS4APJ2. I have been searching everywhere since then and it has been 3 days without any luck. Since by mistake I loaded the G930U's API3 with the latest bootloader 4 and I am not able to downgrade to any of the older G930P firmwares. The worst part is that it also destroyed my factory SIM unlock. I want to go back to the G930P firmware and request to have it unlocked again. Someone please help. If this firmware is not yet available for downloading yet, any idea normally how long it takes from the day a firmware is rolled out until it is available on the web for downloading?
Thanks in advance for any help or info.
I'm glad someone posted this. I tried downgrading so I could root my S7 but it failed and now I'm assuming the only way to fix it is to flash stock firmware.
Has anyone had any luck getting the firmware for PJ2?

Search for SamFirm. It's an executable you launch on Windows and search for the firmware for your model and region you need and download it. It's the quickest I have seen so far.
This... I also need. Stuck until I get it. Bahhhhhh I don't like the s7 after 4 days. Didn't realize these updates pushed new bootloader version. Trying to build a ROM here... Dafuq?!?!?! -.-"

Do i have to flash these files in a certain order? or all at once? And, do I use the HOME_CSC or the CSC file?
Edit: **** yeah! I flashed the BT, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC all at once in Odin v3.11.1 and it didn't wipe data, just updated my phone to PH7. I am now updating via OTA to PJ2.

You're supposed to flash all at once... Careful going to PJ2 though. bootloader version changes... And they haven't released flashable firmware for PJ2. I found a workaround flashing some U firmware (PI3) with new bootloader 4. Here's the link i went to. And i might add this is a worst case scenario. There's no going back due to the 7's locked bootloader. Of course this is only if you brick your current PJ2 somehow. Which i managed. Developers at work! Anyhow, wish you luck on PJ2, and i'll start development on it (depending on the nougat drop date) once i get a firmware release. Cheers!

*Long post incoming...
The OTA update to PJ2 went fine, no problems. Currently running smooth. My initial issue was I was previously rooted, and decided to go back to stock. When I went back to stock I flashed the PG1 firmware but it wasn't from Sammobile. I downloaded all the firmware files separately from an XDA post that the root post linked too (big mistake). I then didn't flash them all at the same time, and I don't think I flashed the HOME_CSC file, just the CSC one. It went fine and everything but when PH7 dropped everytime I tried to OTA update to PH7 it would fail at 32% every time during the bluescreen/android guy screen. I'm not sure what's being checked at 32% to why it failed there, but my guess was that the files I flashed did something that was invalid and the updating process wouldn't continue becuase of a validation issue, probably from flashing just CSC file and not HOME_CSC file, just a guess.
After I flashed PH7, I was so happy my data wasn't wiped, and was also happy when PJ2 updated just fine. Though I was bummed, I thought PJ2 was the Nougat update...
You're a life-saver dude! And, thanks for the website you gave me to download the firmware, took like 15min to download a 2.5GB file, compared to 5 hours when downloading from Sammobile and other sites. Thanks a bunch!
I had an S2 and S5 for 2 years each before the S7 and damn were those easy to root and flash ROMs/Mods on. Damn locked bootloader! The one thing I think Samsung fcked up on with this phone. I should have waited for the Google Pixel... I'm with Sprint (obv) and re-newing my contract I get a discount off the phone, and having an unlimited data family plan, plus a discount on my bill for where I work made me stay and renew my contract with Sprint.
What exactly are you working on? A way to unlock the bootloader, an easy way to root (the current way is tedious and laggy), or a ROM? I'm interested.

Glad you got squared away... I'm not really working on much. Just going to Mod a Stock ROM again, to start. I'm probably not the guy who will figure out custom recovery on the phone. lol But I'm going to dive into some documentation on the topic, and get acquainted. That's a far reach, though. I just don't see a lot of support or development for this phone series. So I want to put some stuff out there. Maybe even slim down and automate the rooting process. (Think SkipSoft Android Toolkit)
I don't know. Any ideas or requests are always welcomed.

If you're on the latest (PJ2) stay right where your are. There's no going backwards from there with the release on bootloader 4. You need to wait out the PJ2 firmware release.
I have a g930a with the basband version G930AUCS4APK1 and I have done all OTA updates.
Is it still rootable? Am I on the new bootloader?

go to the root thread, follow the instructions and give it a shot. That's really the best way to find out...just make sure you have the APK1 firmware on standby in case it doesn't turn out well.

Pretty much this. Backup files you don't want to lose, download the stock Odin files, and give rooting a shot. Worst case, you just gotta flash stock back via Odin. You may be able to flash an earlier firmware via Odin and root from there. Though I doubt Odin would let you. If I were you, I'd download all the applicable files, backup my data, wait until I've got a good chink of time ithat I don't need my phone and start playing around with it. I had all sorts of complications rooting mine s{ I was phone-less for like an hour

I'm still trying to learn the nomenclature....so, i'm assuming by the PK1 one part of the version that it is new than PI3?
Just wasn't sure about UUE part. Sorry, noob in this dept.
But, wanted to at least share that I had successful root with OP baseband.
Now to figure out how to make the battery last more than 10hrs and respond a little quicker.
The V15 fix hasn't seem to do much in comparison to stock OTA.
Hope this helps.

(for the others that may not know too)
The last three characters of the release are the ones that matter.
* The P indicates the year (P=16th letter of the alphabet, 2016)
* The K indicates the month (K=11th letter of the alphabet, November)
* The 1 represents the release number (to allow for more than one release each month)
Keep in mind that once you flash a newer firmware on the S7, you cannot go back to an older one. Odin will not let you flash it. Even if you could, it would most likely trip the KNOX flag.

Samsung firmwares are probably one of the easiest to find. Be thankful they allow easy access to their firmware.
Many sites host Samsung firmware such as updato, it can also be downloaded direct from Samsungs servers via Samfirm.
