No CP File - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

I downloaded the original firmware from SamMobile, but the .zip file does not have a CP file. Any idea where I can get one for the SM-T580 (WIFI)?

You have a WiFi Only version of the Tablet. It does not have a radio/modem installed by default. So the firmware will not have the Cell Processor file.

I suspected that, thanks!
Quick question, if I go into TWRP and format data, then advance wipe everything and flash stock will my device be brand new and clean of any potential malware? I have unistalled magisk and done this recently.

Well generally speaking yes, especially if you use the nand erase all button in ODIN. But I've come across 2 different things that could create a persistent partition that could survive a data reset.

Did the firmware work for you from Sammobile? I have the custom binary blocked by frp and can't seem to flash the files with odin

Thanx for asking this particular question! I've spent the last 3 days on the Internet, trying to find that information. Many thanx to Delgoth for that answer.

Here you go:
"single-file" flash-file; data should stay intact when flashing this...
G935FXXU1APC8 (Germany - DBT)
UN-RAR, place TAR-file in AP in Odin 3.10.7
Could you make screenshots of "version info" (*#1234#) and software-info when flashed?

Sorry, I could not find the thread. Already tried to install with home_csc which ended in a freeze during Odin installation. And the above version of henklbr does wipe data.
Can you point me to the correct post, please?
Did anybody upgrade his rooted phone without wipe?

Do you mean that my single-file wiped your data?
I think, that's because you flashed the 1st time with HOME_CSC, and then the freeze of Odin -> THAT wiped your data!
If you flash again now, with my single file, I'm sure it WON'T WIPE your data!

Hi Hektor,
No, the freeze regarding home_csc was solved. I recovered my data from TWRP backup.
Today I flashed your single file with ODIN and it removed my files. I had to run through setup again, so I again recovered through TWRP backup.
Dont really know what is wrong.
Here is my original setup:
Odin: Installed firmware SM-G935F DBT G935FXXU1APAW
Odin: Installed TWRP 3.0.0.0
TWRP: Installed 3.0.0.1
TWRP: Installed BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
And as I mentioned, today I tried to upgrade with your file (G935FXXU1APC8 DBT) through ODIN which caused a wipe
Best wishes,
Scrato

An OFFICIAL ROM-flash always removes your ROOT; I think, that's the reason you've to "set-up" again!

I thought you can keep your data somehow. Before I bought the Galaxy S7 Edge I used a S5 with Omega Rom.
Any Omega Rom update kept my data, so I thought this can be done with the original firmware for S7 as well as long I root the phone.
Here is a way that works. Did that yesterday and no issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/install-ota-rooted-s7-flashfire-t3357065

Need Help Extracting PIT FIle for Verizon Variant of the S7 (Non Edge)

I seen on other forums you can basically create a working PIT (Partition Information Table) From a Working Device, obviously based on the Same Firmware set you are running, now that root is up and running, the idea is which mmcblk to dd to get it done
Here is a link for reference I found on older Galaxy Models, id assume the process is the same but again not sure about whick block device i need to copy
Pit File Extraction
Nvr Mind Found the pit file in the CSC Section of the Stock FLash Files, doesnt exactly tell me how to generate my own but does provide a working solution if ever needed

Did you ever extract the PIT file? I need one to fix my phone and I'm on the latest update that came out a few days ago. I don't have root and my S7 is stock.

I'm on PF2. I've never used a pit file with ODIN so what does it do exactly? Could you maybe help me?
I'm getting an error when rebooting in recovery saying "failed to mount /data (Invalid arguement)". I can't notice it affecting anything though. It only pops up after I select power off, reboot, or wipe cache. If I do a wipe data/cache and thrn reboot it doesnt pop up. My phone still seems to perform right but this error worries me.
Like I said, I've never tried to root or flash my phone but this is happening.

I've downgraded to PE1 seeing if that what fix my issue, but it didn't so if you do have the PE1 version that would be fine for now while I'm on this version.

if the stock files don't work i can extract a master PIT file from the phone but i need to make sure it covers all of the relevant partitions first, basically preventing you from getting an erroneous file, as they lay out how the phone should partition the emmc chip basically acting as a flash memory version of a hard drive

Its not necessary to flash stock, simply reflashing the engboot will suffice, and does not wipe the device.
First of all you wanted to Flash SuperSu.... Did you enable Android Debugging.... Then check OEM Unlock?
If not you messed up there...
Next You need use Odin to flash CF-Root. You are now running a patched Kernel and SuperSU
Use TWRP app to install twrp for your device.
i have the same exact problem, been trying to flash stock firmware but cant get it to work. help please!!!! which firmware? can i get a link please!!!!!!!!!!

Hello, having same issue. Didn't realize you can only make backups with flashfire, not actually flash them back with the program too...
I have the original files I installed with Odin, are one of these the engineering boot file? (BL, AP, CP, CSC?)
Or are you talking about something else...? Thanks!

You flash the engboot file you used to root the device, the one you placed in AP and is around 20 mb in size (not the actual firmware) .

How to reinstall firmware on S7 edge?

Hi everyone. I am having battery drain issues after i installed the September security update. I want to reinstall the firmware on smart switch by connecting to PC.
The last time i tried it through emergency software recovery in fownload mode, I almost bricked my phone. Can i reinstall using device initialization option? Which one would be better?
Thanks in advance.

When you brick your device it has nothing to do with Odin (use the latest version)
Make sure you install the right firmware for your device
Import the appropriate files to Odin exactly where they supposed to be
You'll have five files when unpacked downloaded package
Installing CSC will wipe your device, to avoid that you have to install HOME_CSC instead
You may also need to set a password for a secure startup as it may ask

Hey again, @Geoz
I have two questions:
1. I can't get FOTA on my S7E, I think because the CSC file. Can I really flash the "HOME" one and not wipe data?
2. If I want to flash another Stock ROM, I must set secure startup? And if I forget, there is any solution?

If you want to flash different stock firmware other than your region, flash the three (BL, AP, CP ) and use your original HOME_CSC (you are aware that you have to start all over), installing your region stock firmware with HOME_CSC will not wipe your device.
If you forget password use (default_password) without the brackets but it's important to set it before and use it only if you forget

But if I will flash other region FW and my own country CSC, I won't be able to get FOTA. As far as I know, The FW and the CSC has to match to get updates.
About password for secure startup, I mean, is it really necessary to set it before flashing new ROM? I must set it up?

Yes. I've tried with v3.13.1 which is latest afaik. But I've figured out that my phone has hardware issue. I'm trying to get my files back without flashing ROM.
