Nope. But Samsung doesn't appear to be bothered that all their other firmwares are being hosted somewhere. I'd say throw it up on Mediafire, or Hotfile, BayFiles, etc.

I found it on hotfile but it needed a password. I'll try to upload it some ware when I get back to my laptop. Maybe a torrent or something.

Pass: sampro.pl

Actually, here is how and where I found it. I don't know how I kept missing this post every time I looked through this thread. The US firmware is the _XAR_P6210UEKL1..... Link and you will need the password: sampro.pl to extract the rar

Heimdall packages for stock firmwares

I just started a thread over in General for Heimdall packages of official firmwares:

[P6200][Heimdall] Firmware packages for stock ROMs

Heimdall is a free, open-source tool for flashing Samsung Galaxy devices (Galaxy S, Galaxy S2, etc), but it does work on the Galaxy Tab P6200 (and most likely the P6210). It is similar to Odin, but Odin is a closed-source, Windows-only, internal Samsung tool. It works on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. There is zero reason to use Odin these days. Go give it a try...

Cheers...

too bad heimdall increases the counter even with the official firmware.. so, its not an option for the "virgin" devices...

If I recall correctly flashing through Odin also increases the flash count. The point is that Heimdall is safer, and open source, and Heimdall firmware packages aren't "protected" with some stupid password by some guy trying to inflate his ego.

btw, there's always Chainfire's TriangleAway... it can clear the flash count. I assume we'll be able to use this when we finally move to Ice Cream Sandwich.

Hello. Does anyone have the P6200UWAORL firmware? It seems to be a custom Orange build, Google search returned nothing :/

motohip · Mar 4, 2012

Can someone help me? I think I bricked my tab. I can still go into download mode but it won't boot up.

I have a P6210 Wifi US version.

yes you have bricked it by the sounds of things.
follow my steps bro il help ya

step1. download Odin v1.8
step2. download Samsung keys
step3. reboot PC
step4. download required firmware or an equivalent if your region is not here and unpack it
step5. open Odin then select PDA button on Odin choose the unpacked firmware file then press start.
step6. now listen very carefully as this bit is essentially once you have finished installing the firmware reboot in to recovery mode (which will now work but the tab wont until you wipe data) so navigate to wipe data and reboot it will now work.
thanks me when its done bro

Wait, how/where did you download your firmware? I can't download the US firmware...the page leads to unreachable in my browser.

Hmmm...downloaded it to my phone, but without an actual computer to unzip and look thru the files, I can't say whether this is legit or not

odin won't increase the counter if its the original firmware package from samsung.. to use heimdall you need to unpackage everything first if i'm right.. heimdall will increase the counter even with samsung's official firmware. i might be wrong though. about triangleaway, untill it's useable, i won't say anything.

bdds13 · Mar 11, 2012

Has the latest LA3 firmware for p6210 been posted yet? I've searched through this whole thread but I haven't seen it.

Yeah, kinda. From what I've seen the counter only increments during kernel flashes, and only when flashing kernels which are not signed by Samsung. Kernels from Samsung firmware releases can be flashed like this without incrementing the counter:

Code:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

Samsung firmwares contain many files, such as boot.bin, zImage, recovery.img, factoryfs.img, etc. Each of these files gets flashed to the corresponding mmc partition.

i just flashed the recovery.img using heimdall without increasing the counter. not the original recover.img, but the one with cwm.. then i flashed root.zip to root.. all without using an external sd card. woohoo!

Yes, this is certainly a good way to flash recovery without an external SD card. I'm telling you guys, Heimdall is good stuff.

Regarding the flash count: I guess that confirms that the only partition which gets "counted" is the kernel/"boot" partition. Not particularly helpful, but good to know. There seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around XDA's newbie population.

no more worries~ a good software indeed.
