[Solution] HC 3.1 OTA Difficulties 13% + Stock ODIN

SS2006 · Jun 11, 2011

Here's a solution that worked for me

Flash the below with ODIN (thanks to bonzai3558), extract the .md5 file from the zip, and in odin choose PDA and point to that file, keep everything else blank/default. Connect Tab with USB (after it is in download mode by power on +Volume down then volume up, so it shows the yellow android with shovel) then hit Start.

this ODIN version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DDN6BYB2

and this pda md5: http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c

Now when you check for OTA once your back up, itll work fine and get past 13% and go all the way (it is normal for it to stay a long time on 76%)

Best of all tablet is ROOTED

so this odin file is surely stock (and plays nice with the OTA update)

-PS: This odin file also will save your device if it is bricked or frozen (boot into download mode) power button + volume down button, then press volume up to select

*thanks pershoot for help as well

Work in the v model ?

Thanks

this version of odin isn't seeing my tab. I have the samsung drivers installed. :/ But it still says unknown device when I go into fastboot mode and odin doesn't see it

edit: not sure what it is, my gigabyte mother board seems to hate samsung android devices. Worked like a champ with my wife's laptop. Thanks!

Does this work with retail 10.1?

SS2006, you are awesome! Thanks for posting this. I flashed recovery.img, flashed boot.img, and restored all the original apps from the system dump, but I was still stuck at 13%.

Was totally WTF...?

Then saw this thread. FLashed the zip file, and BOOM. Software update success!

Pershoot is the man!

Anyone tried this on the v model?

Does this work on retail 10.1 tab

Can we odin back to stock with this image if we have the retail tab? Can we replace the retail bootloader with the I/O bootloader?

doesn't work on retail with that ver. of odin (and trying to flash in a tar'fyed cwm).

either it too is locked, or there is another means of interacting with it.

ill kep my eyes peeled for retail.

So I did this to a retail locked 16gb. I get force close messages like crazy now. Any idea on how to get back to stock?

I tried this after an adb reboot,,, sent me into a boot loop and it did not clear it up so i did it the old fashoin way, hopefully can get it to work later would def help!

This saved my LE I/O SGT! Was stuck in boot loop; couldn't connect with adb or fastboot, but could get into ODIN download mode. After flashing a couple other versions that either didn't work or had other issues (no USB, accelerometer, etc), I finally found this thread. Flashed this PDA and now I'm back up and running!

However, I had already messed up my bootloader. I flashed it with this version: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1083517 which is from the 10.1v retail edition. Now when I try to do the 3.1 OTA update, it won't boot into update mode. It fails and says to try doing the update with Kies. Do you have a bootloader that I can flash with ODIN for this same PDA version?

media_11 · Jun 26, 2011

It did same for me, when i tried to do OTA update, it says failed to update and try to update with kies. I ended up factory resetting the device. Its still rooted and now I am trying to update again. Hopefully it works this time. For some reasons I can't launch any apps. They are all crashing. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Any luck? I haven't had the app crashing problem, but it seems pretty common from reading around the forums.

I was able to install Kies and get it to recognize my tab (had to disable USB debugging first), however, it gives me the following message: "This version of the device cannot be updated." So, it seems I am still unable to get the HC 3.1 update... Anyone have a solution? I still think the original ODIN flashable bootloader from the same PDA as the OP might do the trick for OTA updates... Just not sure where to find it.

FWIW: Kies reports my current firmware version as: PDA:KE3 / CSC:KE3 (XAR)

It doesn't work for me either. I get the same error and when I tried to do OTA update, it reboots after the download saying it couldn't be updated. I think we need PDA with 3.1.
I haven't been able to use anything on my tablet. every app running in the background crashes and theres. I did system reset and factory reset but no luck.
Any help would be really appreciated.

SS2006, you are a god send! I was in a boot-loop somehow on my Android 3.1 10.1v after trying out the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1130574 thread..

Flashed with this ODIN package (that is Android 3.01) and did the successful upgrade back to 3.1! Sweet!

So does anyone have more details on these ODIN packages and how they are setup?

odin is crashing es soon as i open it, anybody having the same problem?

update: nevermind, im using odin 1.82 and now im rooting my tab.

robobear · Jul 7, 2011

hey i got a stupid question:

i got tab 10.1 P7500 already on 3.1 HC

can i just flash the root exploit? using stock recovery?

just wanna make sure before i did something stupidly irreversible.

EDIT:

for those of you on locked 3.1 P7500 (indonesian edition) you can just skip the Odin flashing and directly place the root exploit to your root sd and then apply the update (just tried it and it works) i have root now.. moving on to CWM
