So I have the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 wifi (sm-t210r). It is running 4.1.2. I noticed that there is a Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 LTE (sm-t215) available, which is running 4.2.2. Other than mine being wifi only, and the other supporting phone data, what is the difference between the two? What would happen if I downloaded the LTE's firmware and tried to flash it to my wifi tablet? If it were to brick it, would I be able to flash the official firmware back onto my wifi tablet and have it working again?
Don't do it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45469891&postcount=5
t215 & t217: 1.7 GHz Qualcomm snapdragon 400 processor, 1.5 GB RAM
t210 & t211: 1.2 GHz Marvell processor, 1 GB RAM
also, they have different partition layouts. the firmware from the t215 definitely won't work as-is on a t210r. it probably wouldn't be to hard for someone who has a t210 or t211 to port it, tho.
Well alrighty then. I'll just have to wait until either an officail 4.2/3/3 firmware comes out, or a modder comes out with a custom firmware for it then. Thanks for the informative replies guys.

Hi guys,
currently i own a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) - SM-P605, so is the variant with the LTE connectivity.
While i like to have mobile connectivity on my devices, i don't necessarily use it all the time, so i'm thinking if it is possible to install 4.4.2 android version for SM-P600 on this LTE variant, and reinstall the LTE variant later, when available..? Of course i assume only wifi connectivity until than...
If i remember well, i think i did once this on the first variant of galaxy note 10.1, by mistake, obviously, but it worked...
I'm looking for an advised opinion, please let me know what you think!
thanks a lot in advance,

I would be really surprised if you flashed the P600 firmware on the P605 and it worked. The P600 has an Exynos CPU, the P605 has a Qualcomm CPU and if you flash the wrong firmware you will most likely brick your device.
Advice: Under no circumstances try to flash a P600 firmware on a P605 or vice versa!

Ohhh, in this case, of course...
I was convinced that there is a wifi version of the tablet with Qualcomm too...
thanks a lot!
HI,
Could anyone suggest the a good KitKat rom for overclocking the 1.01 2014 tables. I installed the kitkat hyper drive a few weeks back but no custom kernel. I tried downgrading to an earlier rom but it wont take so looking for a kitkat one.
thx in advance
Bobby
Curious- do you have an Exynos or Snapdragon (LTE) Note 10.1? (This is the first device that I'll be doing a custom kernel for that I won't try and overclock, as the (Snapdragon) Note 10.1 just seems SO fast already.)
Samsung 10.1 2014 CPU

I believe it's the 1.9Ghz/1.3GhzExynos CPU.
i just bought a galaxy tab s and i wionder can i downgrade the current version that is 4.4.2 kitkat to jellybean 4.1.2. if possible, where can i download the correct rom?
Unable
Sorry pmso but you won't be able to downgrade for 2 reasons, firstly, the firnware/rom doesn't exist for an older version of the OS on the Galaxy tab S, and secondly, and I don't know the reason behind it, but once the 4.4 version is installed onto a device, it locks the device from ever being downgraded to a lower version. I have tried many of times with my old Galaxy S4, but once I was on 4.4 there was no going back.
So I just bought a tab s 10.5 t805 with lte.But to my surprise when I checked its cpu with cpuZ..It had a exynos 5 octa,not the snapdragon one and that has got me really worried...So I wanna ask that which ROMs i can flash on it?The t805(snapdragon) ones or the t800(exynos) ones...As a guy over internet told me that installing t805 roms will brick my tab since they are meant for the tabs with snapdragon.Are there any stock ROMs for this device at samfirmware?...Plz help me.thank u
Well there are no ROMs for snapdragon chipsets and not even a recovery. Most Lte models ship with exynos and some snapdragon ( depends on your region). Since you have a exynos octa, you can do a nandroid backup in case some goes wrong, and install iron ROM with twrp. So far iron has been getting updates and is very stable. Its compatible with the T800 and T805. I'm about to install it for my T800 as well in a couple of days lol. I'm pretty sure it won't brick anything because all the roms\ kernels we have are only for exynos octa. Hope this helps!

Well there is cfautoroot for the T805. Check the root thread for links to your device. I can't confirm if firmwares will work but as you will need to pick the T805 firmware from your country
How do you guys think? Does this tablet gonna get the KK update or not? The SM-T210 has KK, and it's same as T110 but t210 has 3G, and i think exonys CPU 1,2ghz and T110 has Marvell PXA 986 1,2ghz. I think it's not that much of a difference in a CPU, and samsung can do a 4.4.2 on Sm-t110. How do you guys think? Will Samsung do 4.4.2 for SM-T110?
