Help to restore tablet **update - I just need us firmware download please

groovdafied · 5th March 2012, 09:49 AM

Well, I'm one step closer to solving this issue. I found a european rom and tried flashing it on my device using odin. It was going all well until at the end it failed when completing the writing part of the flash. When I tried booting the device, I get a graphic and an exclamation point saying "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try again." Sooo, I think what i need is to get my hands on a firmware version for us or something that works.

it may be dangerous, but I thought there was a p6200 firmware and .PIT file floating around. You want to load that in ODIN ( or heimdall ) and choose repartition.
just my advice.

No need for pit, flashed european GT-P6210 firmware once and just some minor system app difference.

And yes, it seems there is no working link of official US GT-P6210 firmware here.

well good news!! Amazon has agreed to replace my tablet, so a new one is being shipped as I speek and should be here in about 3 days. I didn't think they would replace it with what has happened, but I got lucky.

All I can think of is the sdcard permissions hack screwing up everything. I'm just going to accept defeat and go the route samsung wants me to take to load files. Unfortunate, but it's the price to pay for this device. I really like the GT+, light weight, thin and looks great.

For future reference the 6210 US retail firmware is located in the Dev section under 'official Firmwares' Post #82 (I am a noob so I can't post a link)

I have used it. Once you have it loaded via ODIN then you can upgrade to the latest firmware via Keis.

I seriously don't know how I missed that post. I'm looking it up now.
