Want to restore back to original rom, and have spent a good hour hunting, only to end up at either samobile who want to charge e15, or some other shady sites where y ou have to pay for access...
Is this just the way things are?
Anyone able to share this rom?
At https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-tab-pro/SM-T520/ I do not see anything telling me to pay.
If you actually select a rom, you see this below the file...
This archived firmware is only available for premium users.

Which sort of contradicts the info on the previous page:
Here you find all the latest firmwares for the GALAXY Tab PRO SM-T520, if you want to flash your device with the newest Samsung software. Before downloading, make sure your device has the exact model code SM-T520. You can download the most recent GALAXY Tab PRO firmwares for free, or check out our cheap but fast download options.

I know the firmware is old, but its still the latest!
Did you log in. I registered long time ago at sammobile to be able to download. That worked for about 8 years without paying anything, but downloadspeed is anoying low.
Ok, I just logged in and saw , you have to pay. Free firmware downloads for members are only for recent firmware. Cause we're far from recent, we have to pay for the archive files. F...k you Samsung.
As I said in another thread some years ago, this tablet was my last Samsung device I bought, due to their superior support.
Here's a link for the German (DBT) and the Dutch (PHN) stock firmware. I think the dutch one was newer, although there's probably not much of a difference.

I have been thinking of a side project i can start and since i recently acquired a wave and have a SGS myself it seems like a fun project. I found out that it has a hummingbird processor and may not be much difference from a Galaxy S in terms for hardware. Right now I'm just collecting as much information as i can about the device and what similarities the Wave has to a Samsung Galaxy S i9000.
So throw me what you got, its not an easy task and will need help, i have started another thread to see if i can get some Devs interested in this project and are willing to help in the android section
The idea is to port the Galaxy S i9000 firmware to the Wave that way you still have the samsung feel and since its made for the hummingbird processor. We will first need to see if we can get access to hardware and use that to inject code etc. This is in the research stage as of now.
THIS IS JUST A START AND MAY DIE BEFORE IT EVEN BEGINS. SO DON'T COMPLAIN WHY IT WAS STOPPED. I AM DOING THIS ONLY TO SEE IF I CAN DO IT AND NOTHING MORE.
If only i know C++ language, ican help you but i don't know. I'll follow and wait your results.
Keep going my friend. If you success (i hope) i will pay you to get the firmware!
thanx for starting this. i have visited forums where people are trying to port android on wave. And there biggest problem is bootloader. they cant dissemble it, just want to provide you this info. i will provide more info as soon as i get on any forums. This is the only way i can help, as i am only a application developer.
adfree is working on bootloader. Please, contact him.
@ jebise101
But you read this first?

I9000 stuff is available... but remember Baseband is Infineon... not Qualcomm...
Aplication Processor is identical...
Maybe more luck with Galaxy K M130K Firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12083886&postcount=7
But I can't find Firmware for M130K
Go find Firmware from M130K with BootFiles.
it says original firmware for M130K but not sure
pspmaster. tistory. com/48
looks like it is the firmware you wanted adfree
here is the link righ here easier http://pspmaster.tistory.com/48
use google chrome with this page as it is in korean
Well, if you google M130K-KIES, you can get the firmware via 4share, but the file it got was without the boot.bin :-(. But I'm not sure about the firmware from pspmaster.
whats with this project ?
http://www.androidport.net/
pawlakpl this site androidport.net never end this project becouse no money.
Here is an app someone created i will try it when i get home to see if if i can get it to download the Korean SGS firmware (use to use it all the time back when i had the O2, if anyohne wants to give it a shot feel free

I've downloaded M130K-HOME-REV04-EA29.tar
Thanx to hsingh56 and mylove90.
As I've searched several hours via Google with no success...
Now I have also Bootloader files from M130K... but looks totally different as I thought...
Anyway... I9000 and M130K have similar folders/files...
factoryfs.rfs.img
Rename into *.img like above. And extract with WinImage for instance...
Then use open eyes.
1.
Few Images are QMG... for PowerOFF QMG Animation...
2.
*.so files
3.
lib\hw
...s5pc110.so
But anyway. As long NOBODY try with JTAG (RIFF BOX) + Wave S8500 + knowledge different combinations. If Boot area is secured?
We will NEVER see Android on Wave...
Best Regards
So the wuestion is....
Whos have JTAG+S8500+Knowledge+Free time to help the bootloader creation?
Yes,boot and sbl is secured(e-fused)

Euhmm. If you guys actually READ The site it shows we are working. Only we PROBALY need IDA. But we're in touch with Dopi from IDA. if things work out we will have the bootloader disassembled within 2 weeks and we can start testing the modified FW from the Galaxy S

Please, STOP. I won't comment on that nonsense. Let me just say good riddance to you and come back with the results. We already had enough talking and it's time for you to show whether you can distinguish ARMv4, ARMv7, decrypted, encrypted executables and any basics of code signing.
great initiative...keep it up the work and never give up...
Please, anyone, I can't seem to find a mirror of a working Odin package anywhere out there in the ether. It doesn't matter what firmware revision it is so long as it is a full package that can restore and repartition. I will also provide a mirror to the file when I receive it.
Thanks,

You want the over come package.

I've shared it. But unsure if it's for the sch-i8000, i have the p1000 GSM version. You may want to look at the documentation for the overcome wipe (it's very popular to get your tab back to stock or for flashing new roms or unbricking soft bricks) to see if ti's compatible. There is a PDF somewhere in the xda forums here for tab that recreates the instruction for Overcome.
EDIT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881981
There someone has recreated. And looks like GSM only, so I think you're out of luck there.
So I did a quick search of sch-i800, and bam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275031
Looks like some stock stuff for that is listed there.
Thanks dardack for the try but I don't think that any GSM or Sprint files are going to work properly.
Last night I started working through a stack of HDD's and think I found what I need. I am planning on testing today and if it works I will post a mirror.
Problem with all of this is that the Verizon tablets, I don't think, where very popular, and since 2-3 years have passed since release it's almost impossible to find working links anymore.

Hello everyone, this is my very first post here
I hope I posted this in the correct section of the forums. If not please point me out where I should place it! And sorry for the intrusion!
So basically my S20 Ultra ( Exynos variant SM-G988B/DS ) is stuck on February 1st, 2020 Update. My current version is G988BXXU1ATB3 /G988BOXM1ATB5 /G988BXXU1ATB2
I am pretty sure there have been tons of updates mainly to address the early camera issues, but I can't seem to make it visible to my current device so I can upgrade.
Is there a workaround in order to 'force' an update or I am missing something there?
Excuse my noobness
And nice to meet you all!

There are few threads crated on a daily that ask for the same. Just learn to flash it on your own via odin. No problem if you are noob... the problem if you don't use the search function and learn and move on from your noobness.
Download the firmware via SamFirm and flash it with odin. Stop waiting to receive OTA. Stay up to date, if you see there is a new update repeat those steps and you will always have the newest firmware.

Thank you very much for directing me to the right path, I was not sure of what search criteria I should type to find my solution Sorry.
These solutions will void my warranty or anything? Also as I am noob, is there danger to destroy my phone?

This solution will not void your warranty. After you downloaded the firmware via SamFirm you will have in the extracted folder two kinds of a file that's called CSC. One of them is called HOME_CSC you need to flash/choose the HOME one in order to keep all your data.

I doesn't matter anymore, G988BOXM1ATB5 they put everything in one pot, OXM is generic. And you can't change that that easily or for free anymore.

Fantastic, thank you. So that means I can download whatever GSC I want and it should work perfectly with my phone?
trying to find out which is the best for my Exynos s20 Ultra but being a noob is very hard
SamFirm does it for you. Just enter G988B in the device slot and OXM for the CSC slot. It's going to show you the right/newest one.
Just an update, I successfully updated to the latest firmware using ODIN, I was nervous at first but the process is really straightforward. Still having focus problems with my s20 ultra tho, but that is a story for another
Thanks, everyone for guiding me to the right path!

Yeah, I saw it was about 3 bucks, not much, but those sites were, how should I put it, debatable.
I need this file cuz my watch won't detect any new firmware, I am stuck on bta1, beside Samsung support said that for my particular piece should be an update available, reset didn't do the trick.
also stick in bta1

Have tried odin several times and first 3 it said failed and then last time it di nothing just stayed on writing for 30 mins or more before I stopped it. Gonna try some more. Stuck at abl.elf on the odin prg.
Since it appears that getting it to flash is not going to happen is there anyway to make/flash knox updates, thanks.
Couldn't get it to work so decided to restore my backup from pc to phone using smart switch but nothing is happening, says preparing the restore process for .5 hour and nothing. How long does it take and is there another tool that can restore the data I backed up. Progress 0
Can the S20 be jailbroke and what program do I need. If it gets jail broke can I then put in new os, thanks.
New question since no one answered previous one. If I got the bootloader unlocked and loaded a new android 12 version on it, would it then resume normal updates or just stay on stuck on 12 like it is now on 10. Would it make it a non tactical version or remain same.
NEVER SEEN A FORUM WITH SO MANY HELPING PEOPLE.
How did you get this device? These are generally government/military only, and are destroyed when retired. If you happen to be government and/or military, modifying your device without explicit approval is forbidden and could result in severe legal consequences.

Are you sure a software update is available for your device? If not, your options are limited without unlocking the bootloader.

Jailbreaking applies only to Apple devices. Android phones by default allow installing apps from sources other than the Google Store; rooting depends on the device. Have you enabled Developer Options? If so, do you see an OEM Unlocking toggle?

Per my first answer, if there were an official update for your device, then you should be able to update without unlocking the bootloader. If not, then no - installing a different Android version will not be able to use normal updates, outside of GSIs such as LineageOS.

This is unnecessary. You have a device that simply isn't very popular, so there isn't very much support for it. Further, you posted in the wrong section - as a Galaxy S20, you should have posted this in the Galaxy S20 Questions and Answers section. Posting in the right area gives you better chances of getting help with your issue.

I thought SURE THAT I posted in the right place but if not I apologize and I thought I answered the questions about how I got it and if it has updates available. I know the TE mdl has been updated to A 11 os but don't know if any further. Also what I was asking is if it was flashed with A 13 os would it get updates like a normal S20 mdl would. This was not issued to me but rather purchased online from a seller who sold around 20 of them and the box does not indicate its a Tactical Edition; when I tried to get money back he closed his/her account, so stuck with it.
sorry but i have not find any firmware for your special device
Thanks, that must be why odin won't write to stock firmware. I'm thinking that u must have to have the stock bl firmware to get it to write the rest of the os, not sure of anything. except won't update on it's own.
