This is the right firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Check the MD5 of your download. I have a link to an MD5 checker in the OP; compare that to the MD5 on Android File Host.

Hmm.. not sure about that.
I upgraded using Kies.
I just used Odin 4.43 today to install CWM and it works.

[Q] TWRP 2.3.1.0 TAR through Odin MD5 error?

Hi all,
Trying to figure out why every tarball I download from Goo.IM for the I747M d2can gives a checksum error when trying to apply it through Odin. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!
Ate you changing the name of the tar file before you try to Odin it?

Unfortunately learned that the hard way with CWM backups, but no I downloaded it directly and put it right onto C:\, so its not a renaming problem. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[Q] Cannot flash Stock Rom n5100

Hi,
I am trying to flash stock ROM on GT-n5100 with no success. I will first recap what I did:
1. Tried to flash N5100XXBMD1 EUR version from samsung-updates with odin and it failed with invalid volume size
2. Recovery was not working, I flashed CWM and recovery mode was still not working, only the gt-n5100 logo.
3. Flashed stock recovery, and recovery mode still not accesible, stuck in the same logo.
4. After flashing recovery, device booted in normal android. Tried to root using galaxy note 8.0 toolkit 1.1 and insecure boot method and now the device doesn't boot at all, it gets stuck in gt-n5100 logo.
5. I can enter download mode, but every stock firmware I try to flash fails with invalid volume size message on the tablet.
So, I think I may have a problem with the partitioning. I may have got broken somehow. Does someone have the pit file for N5100XXBMD1 ? or a 3 part stock firmware I can try to flash?
The pit file can be extracted from a working n5100 using Heimdall Suite in download mode. Maybe I can use a .pit file from another n5100 running N5100XXBMD1 ?
Also can you please tell if I'm doing something wrong? I double and triple checked all options in Odin.
Thank you.

Tried from a different PC and same problem from Odin "Invalid volume size".I can't seem to find the serial number on the device to use Kies Firmware Initialization, but as I recall, yesterday when Android booted, Kies said that initialization is not supported for this device.
Anyway, can anyone extract the pitfile from their n5100? Or give me a serial number that works in Kies?
Thank you.

I checked from Kies with the serial number that I got from the box and it says "GT-N5100 does not support initializing".
Can someone with a N5100 extract the .pit file from it's tablet? It would be very helpful. I can guide you through the process using Heimdall 1.3.1. It is done in download mode.
Also if anyone has another idea on how to revive this tablet I would really appreciate it.

For anyone that can help me with this .pit file, It will not harm your tablet in any way. The procedure does not write anything to your tablet, You just nee to install Heimdall Suite on your pc, put the tablet in download mode, connect it and the app has a buton that says Download .pit file.

I guess no one has a couple of minutes to extract a .pit file from it's N5100
Ok then. I'll look into the option of sending the tablet to Samsung. Too bad I can't get help here, but at least I tried.

thats correct, when flashing .pit file nothing is checked-its not repartioning , after it passes (if) , go ahead and flash firmware, dont disconnect.
uvkl1 was the gingerbread these phone came with, but i was told this would work with ics.(uvli4)

Try using Heimdall. Use this pit file ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53455783) with the 4.0.4 stock ROM from samfirmware.com and flash it using Heimdall with repartition checked. This is what worked for me when nothing else did. I was using Linux, but there is Heimdall for windows. Make sure you install Heimdall and Heimdall frontend as the frontend makes it a lot easier. Run the frontend for the above steps.

There are good videos on YouTube, but basically decompress the tar file to get more files. All the file names match the names in Heimdall except modem which I believe is amss.bin.

I don't have a link for the drivers (I use Linux, so there is no need for drivers,) but a Google search should lead you in the correct direction. Also, make sure you run Heimdall as admin, or the device might not be recognized. To get the individual files, decompress the tar.md5 or .tar file.
You do not want to use "Load Package." Go to the flash tab. First try it without repartition checked. Use 4.0.4 from samfirmware.com with this pit file. I have an image below explaining everything hopefully.
I just saw the Windows 8.1 part. Windows 8 can sometimes cause problems with Odin, but it is worth trying Heimdall. If you have a Linux machine and Windows doesn't work, I would try that.

Flashing Question. Please Help.

Hey guys. Got my ATT fold today and would like to flash the 'unlocked' firmware onto it. I've downloaded the newest ODIN file and the U1 file for firmware. I have my phone in download mode and connected to the PC.

Any help? Thanks.

Are you trying to flash "U1"-firmware to an "U"-device?
THAT's the problem: NOT possible!
actually U1 to U is possible using patched Odin. I just did the conversion using an Odin version that I used for a Note 9 that I had. i can't remember where I got it from but here's a thread that has the same version (per the file name) that I used: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Hello,
Where can I download the firmware?
Edut: found it in another section. Thanks anyways.
