This thread contains the stock ROGERS firmware that comes with the GT-P1000R.
Andrew_Low has provided a copy of his stock FROYO backup, which I tested on my tab and confirm that it is working. The kernel is rooted, other than that it is a clean ROGERS rom. For further details on this refer to post 2.
He was also able to capture the GINGERBREAD update (which I have not tested as of yet, any testers please post your results).
This is the stock update available from KIES. For further details on this refer to post 2.
Many thanks to him for this, if it helps you, hit his thank you button. If you find this thread helpful as well, hit my thank you button.
Instructions on flashing are not provided. If you need these files it means you know how to flash your device, have flashed a custom ROM previously, and require this to return to a stock state.
As usual FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK, don't blame ANYONE here for ANYTHING.
PLEASE NOTE: The FROYO stock ROM is currently unavailable, will be back up soon.
Downloads can be found here
Further more, I would like to thank kpetrie77 for setting up a wiki on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, the wiki is full of great links for all things Galaxy Tab. You can find it here, and if you have anything to contribute please do so as it helps everyone here at XDA.
Thanks to theREDlegion for putting this together. Happy to try to help others both on P1000 series.
The FROYO version was rooted with SuperOneClick 2.2 - if you use this utility and unroot it will remove the superuser.apk and after a reboot, adb won't connect as root. Before you do that reboot, you'll want to remove the busybox binaries /system/xbin to reach as 'near a stock state as possible'.
The GINGERBREAD version was snagged from Kies during the update process. It seems the Check Fus Donwloader doesn't know about Rogers (but it knows about Bell?!).
Real life gets in the way for hacking, but I'm motivated to make the Tab (mine included) as useful as possible beyond stock.
Thank you. This will come in handy.

Was hoping you could answer this question. I am currently running stock froyo on my Rogers Tab. If i update to Gingerbread is there any negatives with me wanting to upgrade in the future to other builds. Does it lock the bootloader? or is the bootloader already locked?
Thanks.

Sorry to respond almost a month later but I have not been checking my PM's regularly for the past little bit with so many other things on the go. It is better to post these kinds of questions in the thread itself, as this would help other members with similar questions. That is why I created the thread, and this is a good question to ask and answer in the thread. It is a REALLY GOOD QUESTION, that I'm sure others would be interested in and therefore I will post it in the thread. If you would like me to remove your username please contact me.
The Samsung Gingerbread release is not locked, it is signed. You CAN flash custom kernels and ROMs, DO NOT use the PATCH tool that Chainfire has provided, if that is why you ask, see that thread. That patch is an amazing tool provided by Chainfire, there is nothing wrong with the patch it just does not apply to us. If you use it, the tool will ask you to patch, DO NOT PATCH. You will screw things up with it and have to re-flash, re-stock and re-do everything just to fix it.
If you are uncertain if you should flash anything, than DON'T FLASH ANYTHING. Read, read than read some more before continuing any further.
These stock ROM's are not SamFirmware downloads, they are STOCK Rogers firmware from the device and from the update from KIES.

I haven't had the opportunity to restore a tab yet. One of these days someone will lend me one for testing and I will try test these files.
Looking at the files, these will need to be restored via heimdall correct?
Also looking for the Bell Froyo rom. Any suggestions?

Heimdall is correct.
Have not come across a stock BELL Froyo ROM (haven't even looked really). Will see what I come across and post back.
How to flash P1000R to stock Gingerbread
I wrote up how to take the Gingerbread firmware in the OP and flash it to your device.
http://lowtek.ca/roo/2012/restore-rogers-galaxy-p1000r-to-stock/
It's short and sweet. Ubuntu (Linux) as my desktop, heimdall as the flashing tool. Key is really mapping the files in the firmware to the heimdall partition names and getting through the boot sequence (flash, recovery and allow update, reboot).
Rogers CWM flashable modem UXJJ6
Following instructions found here http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...t/540640-make-my-own-cwm-flashable-modem.html I created a CWM flashable modem of the Froyo Rogers ROM.
Why? Well, this modem didn't appear to be available in this form - so here it is as an attachment.
Anyway to root Bell Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE???
I cannot find anything on google or in this forums.
Thanks!!!
yea me either ive been searching for a couple weeks now.... it sucks
Rooting i757M
Am also still looking how to root this thing. The Skyrocket HD is merely the same phone, branded on AT&T carrier and this article made it clear that the phone has been silently put to the side, in favor of the coming S3. (phonesreview.co.uk/2012/05/10/samsung-galaxy-s3-buries-att-sii-skyrocket-hd).
That is, even on samsung online personal profile page, you can even find the SGH-i757M in the list of phone version, to add in your owner's page.
If anyone of you manage to root the phone, thanks to let me know.
Correction: The SGH-i757M can be found in the BAR model section on Samsung profile page and not under Smartphone. Hmm... weird categorization. Are those bar phones not smartphones? Oh, they are mini tablets.
Here is one.
Do you have any procedure to use that files? I just don't want to brick my phone
There's no any special procedure other than flash it with Odin
There're many tutorials about it here and there like that for example.

Has this been tested and confirmed to work? I don't have the device yet but this may make my decision to buy one.
dsixda, well, all I can say is that I flashed it personally (into E120L though) and it worked (including root).

Hey that is great news. I wonder if the CWM for the E120L is compatible then?
I wonder if this works to root the device, as I've read it worked for the Asian versions of the GS2 HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
dsixda, I guess it won't be too hard for you to check that as you're recognized developer
You can download the stock I757M firmware with the CheckFus using advanced tab (or using cli only version) with the following data:
Model: SGH-I757M
Product code: SGH-I757ZKMBMC
HIDSWVER: I757MUGLCA/I757MOYCLCA/I757MUGLCA/I757MUGLCA
Yes, I'll try all that as soon as I get my device Always nice to have the stock Odin firmware so that I don't need to dump everything beforehand in case something goes wrong.
Thank you again
Just FYI, the stock firmware is now available at sammobile.com. Grab an account and search for SGH-I757M. The download is much faster than using CheckFus.
Dsixda! So happy your getting this Device, I also want to say thank-you for your Kitchen you created!! Amasing work. Used it all the time with my Evo 3d.
Just got the Samsung Galaxy s2 hd lte with the Bell network, Do you have any plans to incorporate this into your Kitchen??
Also is there any easy Root anyone knows of yet that doesn't involve Odin? Like superoneclick...etc

Try the Zergrush method which I linked in the previous page.
I haven't decided 100% whether to get it, as I still love my original S2. But if I get it I will incorporate it into the kitchen, once we figure out the custom recovery method.
I'm assuming any of the Tengrak GS2 HD recovery images (Odin .tar) will work, as long as you don't flash the associated Tegrak kernel for the ES120L/S/K?
You can always flash the stock firmware above in case you mess up.
Tried the Zergrush method, I had no luck. Oh well no big deal for now

Or flash the first link provided by rxulan in page 1. It's the stock ROM but the system.img has superuser injected in it.
And/or Google for the Tegrak custom recovery in Xda. Just flash one of those recovery.tar meant for the HD, but not the kernel.
ODIN ?

ODIN does not recognise .img or .ext4 files. I understand those are recovery files that CWD can restore but your device should already have been rooted. This is exactly the purpose of this thread, rooting the device first of all. This have been difficult for us to find the right .md5 files to use in ODIN. The device we're trying to root, SGH-i757M.
@ezechias
Odin doesn't recognize the files inside the rooted tar archive (the one linked on page 1), but you can flash them as a tar.md5, which you already know is a preferred format. There are guides online on how to convert it to tar.md5, you can Google it or I can post it later.
First, try to flash the TAR file as is; if it doesn't work then convert to tar.md5, then flash it.
Anyways, it's strange that nobody wants to be the lab rat to test the rooted TAR or the custom recovery that we have already discussed. We have the emergency stock ROM to fall back on if anything goes wrong. Looks like I'll have to purchase this device soon and try it out myself I already have all the files and stock firmware downloaded and ready to go
ICS for E120 K/L/S has been released.
I'm sure the same will happen with I757M pretty soon

Before you get started, you should know that the Root Image is 500+ MB so be warned if you're on mobile data. Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687. Under "Wind Image" you select download. You will need to grab the file named "root66_GLW_T99VVLALE6 .7z"
You will also need to go to this thread and download the drivers and Odin: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1728605
Transfer all these files to your laptop and start by installing the drivers. Then follow the instructions in the thread with the root image
Hello mates, has anybody here tried using heimdall for our device?
Recently i want to learn some development on ubuntu and have little space on hdd(culprit:android source code ). So i plan to completely remove windows but then i can't use odin. Also, we all love open source
If anybody knows how heimdall works or already using it...please make a guide for it.
I actually tried it myselves by reading documentation but while selecting firmware it searches for .tar.gz in stead of .tar.md5.
I also renamed it to .tar.gz but then it freezes and then force closes(atleast on ubuntu).
So i think some changes are need in firmware package?
If anybody knows how to flash, please share the knowledge.
Thankyou in advance.
And for those who dont know what the heck heimdall is, look here

I've been reading the forums searching for help downgrading from Lollipop to Kitkat, but I haven't found much. A few threads say that there's some other thread with all the information, but I haven't been able to find it. Any information you can give me would be helpful: things I'll need, steps to take, link to a tutorial, etc.

there are some things i can't fully access from my work computer but i`ll try to help the best i can until someone else pitches in
first thing i recommend doing is setting usb debugging on your phone, you can google how to do that if you haven't already
second is to install your phone drivers on your PC (for me it's typically just plugging in my phone and letting it install)
third download the stock at&t note 4 kitkat firmware which can be found here. just click the link until you find the download option (can't access this further), i've used it to downgrade a couple weeks ago.. if the file is a .rar/.zip/.7zip unzip it, if its a .tar or .md5 you are good to go.
fourth download "odin" you can do a google search for it, i used odin 3.09 and 3.10, generally 3.09 is recommended. odin is what you will use to push firmwares on galaxy devices (and some others)
fifth once all of the above is done, open odin as admin w/ your phone connected to your PC already and you should see a "COM" port thats visible, that means your device is recognized. click the "AP" spot and find the .tar or .md5, once that is done click start and do not mess with any other
options - if you still feel uncomfortable do a google search for a youtube video on downgrading
also downgrading will remove anything on your phone excluding your micro SD card
warning: i know there is another link someone here that has more steps in odin for doing a downgrade so i apologize if the link is that one.. also, once you downgrade your phone will start the OTA back to lollipop at some point, i advise you learn how to freeze the update if you don't know already, myself personally i used greenify but there are other options
lastly, there is a thread with the stock lollipop update you can push to your device using odin as well, if you want to upgrade again & not take the OTA to do so.. hope this helps somewhat and good luck!
You could always take a quick trip to att device service and they will downgrade it for u or even best buy too if your scared to do it manually via odin.
