::: I WILL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE :::
Hi everyone! Today my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G) has been updated to Honeycomb 3.2 via Samsung Kies.
During the update, i saved the Kies download folder containing the firmware.
I've uploaded to 4shared on this link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/IvMsjSLY/P7500ZVVKL1_P7500UBKL1_P7500VI.html
- Its about 727MB.
- You need Odim to flash (I cant help you with that).
- Is a Brazilian VIVO 3G version, and "i think" will work on any 3G Galaxy TAB 10.1.
- I've updated this morning so, not tested enough.
- Is more fast than the original 3.1 but, not fast enough We really need ICS.
Great job tonywalker!
Samsung released updates from gt-p7500 but vivo doesn't offer support.
Many people uses task650's roms, and look very awesome, but most of task650 updates and others works only in "gt wifi only". Is there any way to use these roms and apply 3g support on gt-p7500 from vivo?
Probably not. Developers would have to create a ROM specifically for gt-7500.
After a few days of use I can say that I really liked this update to 3.2. The most annoying problem was resolved, and now just the slowness of the tablet bothers me.
I think you should try.
Thanks a lot.
Searching an restock way for a looooong time, thank you.
which problems and apps?

I´d like to know what kind of problem did you find on 3.2 stock? Is it slowest than 3.1? Yesterday i rooted the tablet (3.1 os) and also overclocked, after these mods i realized that honeycomb are more fast and flow now. Honestly i dont want to create new problems that now.
Some apps are very usefull and cant miss on this tablet like:
- Folder Organize (u can use lite version)
- HD Widgets (improve time and weather with a excelent widget)
- Hide bar (the propose is: hide system bar every time you want, but bottom restore didnt work as the program promess)
- wifi ad hoc enabler (this app are really getting me nervous!!! I´m looking for a app that enable ad-hoc network and share files between pc and tablets (option locked by samsung). This is a new app and most os people are leaving messages saying that its perfect. After follow all the instructions i cant share my files.
** I tried to download 3.2 stock but i think that only 4shared users are allowed to download big files. Please, split the rom in two small files and reupload

Just to confirm, I flash this by putting my tablet into download mode, then selecting PDA in odin and then search for the .tar.md5 file of the ROM right?
I have decided to create this thread due to extraordinary success of my unofficial builds that I recently put in this thread
Main properties:
- PC Odin flashable (*.tar.md5 file)
- pure stock, NOT rooted, the only change is replaced CSC pack (unbranded multi CSC OXA package instead of original)
- contains CSC: BTU, CPW, DBT, ITV, KOR, XEF, XEO
- can be flashed on ANY N910F without a pit file
- it will NOT trip KNOX if you still have 0x0
Downloads:
>> N910FXXU1COH4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z << (Android 5.1.1)
>> N910FXXU1POI4_N910FOXA1BOC3_alexndr.7z << (Android 5.0.1)
>> Recent unofficial builds for SM-N910F <<
Important notes:
- I do not have much time to expand this thread, so only multi CSC OXA builds will be available here
- I am not able to fix any bugs as all builds contains only ORIGINAL, unmodified partition images (to let you keep KNOX 0x0)
- Unofficial builds means => no OTA updates available (to restore OTA updates you just need to fash OFFICIAL firmware from Sammobile)
- In theory it is not possible to brick your phone or trip KNOX using these builds, but I have to write it (just in case) - I am not responsible for anything that will happen to your phone

because it can happen that in your country the latest firmware is available 1 month after another lucky country (or operator)

Another thing is that you probably just can't flash original BOD2 firmware due to different partition layout than in case of typical, unbranded phone. Read here for more info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60603630
Great work, tried to install the BOD2 from Sammobile yesterday but obviously ran into the EXT4 error.
How does a person go about a repack? As I still don't know if the EE BOD2 build includes wifi calling. If it does, then I'll be needing to flash it, but it won't be repacked as it isn't Multi-CSC - but won't flash on my phone due to the large /preload partition.
Flashing now. Interested to see if this firmware fixes the problems with the BBC Media Player. Samsung have fixed it on the S5 and S6, according to the Play store page.

Yeah, just tried iPlayer on BOD2 - still broken Serious PITA not having access to BBC content on the move. Even radio streaming is glitchy.
Was trying to listen to the football at the weekend, and even with full 4G+ signal the sound kept breaking up. Switched to TuneIn Radio Pro - flawless! Crazy.

I'm struggling to see how it can be Samsung's fault when all the other players seem to work just fine.

That was also my view (i.e. the BBC are at fault) but if you read the info on the Google Play store for the BBC Media Player, it says:
"Users of Samsung Galaxy devices - especially the S5 and Note 4 - may be unable to play content after the upgrade to Android Lollipop (5.x), and may find that the BBC Media Player app crashes after a few seconds. This was due to a bug in the Samsung firmware which has now been fixed. Please ensure you update to the latest version of firmware (G900FXXU1BOC7) for your device."
G900FXXU1BOC7 is a Galaxy S5 firmware though. I wonder what version of the Note 4 firmware will have the same fix?

Yeah, I had read that, but it does make you wonder how every other media player managed to avoid the "Samsung bug", but the BBC fell foul of it.

Indeed! I mean even Sky Go still works!
I just emailed the Media Player dev team and suprisingly got an almost immediate response from the Product Manager:
"We've been trying to get an estimate for a fix from Samsung for some time, and contacted them again yesterday. We'll keep pushing – I'm sorry it's taking so long for this to get fixed. We're also looking into whether we might be able to create a workaround to resolve the issue. In the long-term, of course, the goal is to remove the need for the separate Media Player app entirely; we hope to have achieved this in the native BBC iPlayer app within a few months."
<Apologies to the OP for veering off topic!!>
Hi Alex,
Any chance of a N910FXXU1BOE2 (0x0) Repacked Firmware?
This is exciting, all these NEW firmware being released.

BOE2 is an earlier build than BOD2, the changelist is less than BOD2. The BOE2 seems to be just a naming convention.

You are right that the changelist seems the same as B0C5, but the build date is much later - I'm wondering if the changelist for B0E2 is just a typo, and it is a newer release?
When we flash this rom then we have official update over OTA?
EDIT-I found answer sorry.
OP,
have you plans to repack with BOC4 instead of BOC3?
Cheers.
Samsung Galaxy Tab3 lt02wifi SM-T210R 4.4.2 Debloat Script v4
I've tried finding other debloat scripts but unfortunately they either removed too much, or not enough.
This one removes everything that's junky, but still leaves some OK apps such as S Memo, Calculator, etc.
This checks for presence of lt02wifi device, but you could edit the script and make it work on other devices ...
This should be run on latest 4.4.2 firmware, and it should be run from TWRP recovery.
Please have a current backup in case something goes wrong, although it really shouldn't
I've also kept Samsung Account, yes it's needed by some stuff in the Settings menu, and yes you can freeze it,
but it really doesn't do much if you just tell it to go away after it wants to setup a new Samsung Account.
You can also reset the device to factory settings after running this, and nothing will crash on first run.
v4 - added some more stuff to remove,- keyboard languages.
Note: If you've run a previous version, you can still run v4,- not going to hurt anything.

Thanks OP. It worked on my SM-T210R except that it did not remove Dropbox & ChatOn.
Think I can live with that.
Thought about putting another ROM but this is all needed.
Hello.
My phone is a SM-G903F with an android version of 6.0.1 and with an architecture of armeabi-v7a.
After flashing the xposed-v76-sdk23-arm.zip into my phone using TWRP (I also tried newer versions of the xposed framework) I end up getting a blue light and the samsung logo breathing constantly in a loop.
I can flash the xposed unistaller zip using the TWRP in the recovery mode and the phone works okay. But I would like to be able to install the xposed framework and make it work.
Can anyone help me or suggest anything I can do?
Thank you very much for your time,
Enrique
Try latest v86. It should works....
Samsung devices running TouchWiz have a tendency to bootloop when installing Rovo89's version of Xposed because it is developed for AOSP/Google Edition ROM's and their respective version of ART, whereas Samsung has made several changes in 5.0/5.1 that put it's functionality and code structure somewhere between 5.0/5.1 & 6.0, Vanilla Xposed v86 will likely not solve this issue, instead try flashing arter97's Xposed v79 (or v85 if you prefer, however I have not tested that version) of Xposed for Deodexed TouchWiz ROMs running on 5.0/5.1 (API21/22). If you are running 6.0 (API23) I am fairly certain you are out of luck as I don't believe a version of Xposed for TouchWiz 6.0 exists yet.

Go to your device's board and search deodex (odex is a android function that creates executables out of app files)
Read this
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-odex-and-deodex-in-android-complete-guide/
It's not so important to understand the hows of it, you just need to find a ROM (there are many) that is deodexed. There are likely even a few completely stock touchwiz which have been deodexed. You should go to the XDA board for your device and should be able to find a working ROM
When a ROM is Odexed it means that a system application's cache files will be compressed in a separate odex file, so /system/priv-app/Email/Email.apk would also be accompanied by Email.odex in the same folder. The advantage of this was back when the Dalvik interpreter was used, it would speed up boot times. Deodexed on the other hand is the opposite, it stored the cache files inside an application's APK file, so Email cache would be in Email.apk/cache/com/google/android/Email.dex. Again back when the Dalvik interpreter was used this would slow down boot times significantly. However I believe that since ART became the new runtime the only time boot is slowed down is the very first one after a ROM is installed (albeit by about 15 minutes). If you aren't familiar with modifying ROMs (assuming you want to keep TouchWiz) I would recommend finding a Stock TouchWiz ROM that comes Deodexed, and pre-rooted with SuperSU already installed, make sure you backed up your data (either through google or manually) and install the Deodexed TouchWiz ROM, wait a while, as I said first boot with Deodexed ROMs are about 15 minutes slower than normal, and restore your data. After that you should be good to install Xposed for TouchWiz (beit Wanam or Arter97's is dependent on your OS version and what recovery you're using.) ?
just a question i got the same problem but i flashed my s6 with TYRANNUS ROM v28.1 and keep getting a bootloop when i try to flash xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64
Recovery is twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte
I did all the same like in the tutorial shown
and i dont know why can someone help me ? just want that xposed framework works and im stucking since hours of trying :/
As I mentioned before if you are running TouchWiz 5.0/5.1 you will have to use Arter97's Xposed for TouchWiz v79, API 21 if 5.0, API 22 if 5.1, Wanam Xposed for TouchWiz v79, API 23 if 6.0. ROM has to be Deodexed either way, use FlashFire version 0.24+ if flashing Arter97's Xposed, use TWRP 2.8.4.0+ if Wanam Xposed. Do keep in mind Rovo89's Xposed will not work with TouchWiz on 5.0+, you will have to use one of the above two alternatives.

Would you have any suggestions on where I can find ROMs like that? Is there a main thread or a portal somewhere that lists all the popular ones?
And I have another side question if you don't mind me asking: The device I'm playing around with is a Canadian Galaxy S4 [SGH-I337M], does that mean the ROM I use needs to be compatible with that model specifically? Or are ROMs inconsiderate of the exact model and would work on all Galaxy S4's?
(There's also the different processor issue that depends on the S4's model; Snapdragon 600 vs. Exynos 5 Octa).
Thanks for the descriptive difference between the odexed and deodexed btw, yours is the best I've read so far

Hmmm, seemed a bit off at first since I see the American AT&T everywhere, but then I noticed the thread [SGH-I337M] CF-Auto-Root there and realized the I337 and I337M models are put together.
So I see ROMs under all of the following:
AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 ANDROID DEVELOPMENT
AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 ORIGINAL ANDROID DEVELOPMENT
SAMSUNG GALAXY S 4 UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT
Does that mean there's no main thread which keeps track of all the popular ROMs?
Also, since you linked me to that portal, does that also mean (for my second question) that the ROMs need to be designed for a specific model? It's not generic that any S4 can use any ROM designed for S4?
Thanks!

Correct, as far as I remember the s4 was carrier dependent. My s4 for vzw was cdma only so only vzw roms/mods would have worked. Your device is GSM and Canadian GSM followed the AT&T device build (as far as I could tell). What I did was (on the XDA website) type I337 into device search and only that device shows. The name of that top board was AT&T, Canadian, Rogers thus it confirmed for me this was your phone. There is usually in one of those boards a curated index. There are dozens of ROMs, you just need to read, nobody here (worth a salt) will be able to just give you "the best" answer. You need to read, and understand what you are doing. If you do anything wrong, especially with Samsung touchwiz devices, you will void your warranty (samsungs have a hardware fuse that burns out if you Root or modify incorrectly) and could even hardbrick your phone. But if you just use search while in the forum I pointed to you should easily find what you need. (Hint, type xPosed into the searchbox on the website I should limit the search to your device's forum if you are already on the page I posted)

And I understand it's not appealing to read 450+pages on threads but just skim through threads, 99 percent of problems you'll encounter will have been previously reported and likely solved. I lurked on XDA for at least a year before I spoke and read (at least topic titles of) every topic for both the devices I've had and read/subscribed to topics for every xPosed module I use.
Ok done preaching....sorry

Correct, as far as I remember the s4 was carrier dependent. My s4 for vzw was cdma only so only vzw roms/mods would have worked. Your device is GSM and Canadian GSM followed the AT&T device build (as far as I could tell). What I did was (on the XDA website) type I337 into device search and only that device shows. The name of that top board was AT&T, Canadian, Rogers thus it confirmed for me this was your phone. There is usually in one of those boards a curated index. There are dozens of ROMs, you just need to read, nobody here (worth a salt) will be able to just give you "the best" answer. You need to read, and understand what you are doing. If you do anything wrong, especially with Samsung touchwiz devices, you will void your warranty (samsungs have a hardware fuse that burns out if you Root or modify incorrectly) and could even hardbrick your phone. But if you just use search while in the forum I pointed to you should easily find what you need. (Hint, type xPosed into the searchbox on the website I should limit the search to your device's forum if you are already on the page I posted)

I'm not looking for the "best" answer, most likely there isn't one "best" ROM anyway I was just wondering if there's a portal somewhere for all the popular ones where I can browse through them, maybe with a description for each with links to the original posts.
Reading and understanding is what I've been doing, to some extent at least, if someone wants to dig into the details it could take months of testing and source code reading to understand everything that's going on under the hood
Thanks for the warnings and hints

I've seen both of those, they're both for AT&T [I337], which have a locked bootloader. Mine is an I337M, which has an unlocked bootloader, so the steps probably differ a little
But thanks for the links! All appreciated

Would you have any suggestions on where I can find ROMs like that? Is there a main thread or a portal somewhere that lists all the popular ones?
And I have another side question if you don't mind me asking: The device I'm playing around with is a Canadian Galaxy S4 [SGH-I337M], does that mean the ROM I use needs to be compatible with that model specifically? Or are ROMs inconsiderate of the exact model and would work on all Galaxy S4's?
(There's also the different processor issue that depends on the S4's model; Snapdragon 600 vs. Exynos 5 Octa).
Thanks for the descriptive difference between the odexed and deodexed btw, yours is the best I've read so far

I do indeed have a recommendation, assuming you want stock TouchWiz (newer versions are growing more like Google edition) I have the SGH-I337 and am running Albe95 ROM (the port of S6's stock 5.1 firmware), now I have a unique copy of the NB1 bootloader but for that reason this OS should also work for you, it comes with all S6 features (theme engine included, but don't change your model number from SM-G920A or you wont be able to connect), can be installed from flash fire, is Deodexed, comes pre rooted with SuperSU installed, is fully compatible with the API21 version of Arter97's Xposed, and wont delete any user data during the pre-install wipe. As a bonus its also compatible with most AOSP tweaks and root modules including Android-Nify (so you can use some Nougat features before its released, though we obviously already have multiwindow and single row quick toggles, but still ).
BTW I do believe its for both SGH-I337 and SGH-I337M, or at the very least there is a port for it, however I do believe it works on both (again, it is Stock TouchWiz so locked or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter and it expects Flash Fire rather than a custom recovery either way as well ;P).

Albe95 sounds really good! Will give it a try, thanks
I have never used or read much on Flash Fire, so that will probably be another whole day of experimenting and hoping my device doesn't brick lol. Will make a nandroid backup and give it a shot, thanks again!
Hello,
I am new to this platform.
I would like to update my Galaxy from 4.1.2 to Android 7.1.1 for new features I get from that version, but also to
freely cut away all unnecessary components supplied by Samsung.
Please list me all I need to get a rooting.
Please where can I download those elements?
A list of elements of system components that are erasible without hindering functionality.
I am so new, I even stumble over ROM and recovery and terms like this.
Please help me.

Hi Arriyel, You should visit Bauner's thread about CM 14 (Lineage14.1) and there you can find how to update your ROM to Android N
7.1.1
