SM-P601 & want kitakat ?

hpblze · Apr 26, 2014

So I see a lot of people from the sm-p601 group complaining that they dont have KitKat yet ...
Well not to worry if you are willing to let go of 3G until a Stock Rom is released for the device
Also it would be cool if someone could find a way to enable 3G on these roms .

Following is a list of Roms and Kernels that I have been using for sometime & they all work grreat !!

I have flashed them all with TWRP

Wait. Is this really possible??? I don't even use 3g, I just bought it because it was the only option avaliable at my country (Brazil).

EDIT:
Let me see what I'm supposed to do: root, flash custom recovery, flash the roms plus gapps? Just these things or there is something more?

EDIT AGAIN:
Can you please show me your screenshots?

Same here , I dont use 3G , I tether it with my phone . But its good to have phone calling option

What I did -
1. Flash Twrp , when in TWRP , when you select reboot it asks if you want to root .. select yes
2. Download the ROMS to your External Sd , FORMAT everything except external SD card using TWRP, Install the downloaded ROMs using TWRP
3.Enjoy!

It works cuz both p600 and p601 are Exynos.

Yeah, I'm so lazy, I remember that I've ask myself if both had the same specs a very long time ago but I never have search it, anyway, now I know. I'm pretty much excited then, lol. Maybe I'll do video tutorial if possible otherwise I'll just give my report.

But, I don't have an external sd card, well, I think I don't but it's probably hidden somewhere deep inside my bedroom, I'll try figure out some way to get done it otherwise I'll find one sd card for me. Pretty much thanks! :laugh:

You can do it without an external sd , wipe everything except internal sd where the downloaded file is.
But I feel fully deleting keeps it as an clean install

Thanks for this info....but I would like to flash stock kitkat, how can I do it via Odin? It says fail whenever I try

hpblze · Apr 27, 2014

no odin here too ..

Yep flashing through odin dint work for me either .
I believe something tells odin that the device is p601 and not p600, I found out this workaround by chance , so thought I'd share :silly:

thanks buddy, very usefull, in India its same situation, stupid samsung thinks they can just fool ppl by not relesing updates on time or with their other versions...anyways, I have few questions pls

1) the rom thread says its only for wifi model...so is it safe to flash those roms on our P601 ?
2) can you pls give link to TWRP recovery you flashed and steps to flash it for the first time on stock unrooted p601 pls ?
3) link to ODIN which will work to flash TWRP and stock roms
4) is flashing custom kernels really needed and does everything else work except 3g ?
5) last but most importantly, can we flash stock indian rom when we need to revert back to stock and sell device...roms are available in sammobile.com

Yes its safe , I have been personally using P600 roms for quite sometime and except for 3G all is well . ( Though I would love it if some one can make 3G Work too )
You can download Odin and TWRP that I use from this link -
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/iiaw32zz04gm1zj/Cxj7NdCJHI
Flashing Custom Kernels is not mandatory at all , tho they do have some good stuff like some touchscreen tweaks , and Ram tweaks & other complex tweaks .
Yes , when you want to sell your tablet you can flash using Odin any Stock Rom from sammobile . I have done this too :good:
