I flashed DRL7 a while back to get Pie early., It worked fine with only a few issues. Now I'd like to get back on track since the official release. I assume I'll have to Odin back to CRL1 or something similar. Does anyone have a link for this older version? Oddly enough, it seems that it's not easy to find or hosted on some site with mounds of ads and slow download links.

Ok, so I attempted to download a couple of roms from this site, used Odin to install TWRP recovery. Problem is every rom I attempt to download is hosted from an incredibly slow site, so it takes 3 hours to download a single rom. I would like to return to stock, BONE STOCK. I remember with my Sprint Epic 4G I was able to download a tar/pit file that had the original modem and rom in 2 files: a PIT file, and a TAR File. Using Odin to flash this would return my phone to factory/bone stock configuration getting rid of all recovery/root/ect. I would like to know if there is such a file for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S-2.
Anyone know?
My phone has been useless for the last 9 hours and every rom ive downloaded has not worked at all. (No Signal, No gapps, Not booting/black screen hang, ect)
I know I can download a similar app from HTC that will restore an HTC phone to stock settings, what about Samsung?
Also, does anyone know where I can download the latest ClockworkMod RECOVERY from so I can try to flash roms with that? I was thinking this TWRP recovery is the issue.
Thanks!
Have you read the stickies?
[HOWTO] ROOT, Install ClockworkMod Touch Recovery & get into Download Mode for newbie. It also has instructions for using Odin to get back to stock.
For the latest CWM...have you searched in the dev thread? Used Google/Bing?

I have read the stickies, in particular the one you attached. I also searched google (and bing, its still default on this pc) for the latest version of CWR, links I found are dead. Still didnt see anything in regards to what I asked specifically. Is there a way to restore, VIA ODIN, a STOCK ROM (PIT and TAR Files) similar to what was available with the older samsung Galaxy? I just downloaded the Jedi ROM and it actually booted with a signal, so Im giving it the "10 minutes" before I touch it. (Bummer everyone uses this wierd Dev Hosting site to host the files, download speeds of 37KB/sec are crazy slow with a 400+MB File).
I Thought about using Kies to restore to stock, not sure if thats even possible with a phone that has no rom installed since Ive never used Kies before. Guess I'll find out how well this rom works.

Im not trying to be a **** but you couldnt have searched. If you followed the link for an Odin file in the page I linked earlier, it would have led you to THIS page which has a working download link for stock Odin (Gingerbread).
If you would have Googled exactly what you want, the 2nd result would give you the ICS download.
And Google also returns the main page for CWM
Hope that helps.

I dont think your trying to be a **** at all so its all good, id tell anyone the same thing, I did do several searches searches, but sifting through 900+ pages in one of hundreds of threads is a little daunting...
Also the link I believe your referring to (http://www.technoxide.com/2012/11/galaxy-s2-jelly-bean-4.1.2-I9100XXLSJ-update.html) <<No 2 in google results for a Samsung i9100 SGS2, I downloaded that one, installed it, had a black screen after the samsung logo and the phone started getting very hot after I let it sit for 15 mins or so. Tried rebooting several times, same thing.. The model number for mine is a SGH-T989, are they the same? I tried that link and followed its instructions anyways, and like I said, no go...
Thanks tho man I do appreciate it, all is well with the Jedi Rom, seems to be working awesome without the bloat.. (Just took 3.5 hrs to download from that janky hosting site its on.)

Erm...the 2nd result was THIS thread, and partway down the page is THIS link listed as "T-Mobile SGH-T989_UVLI4 (Stock Odin ROM)" on the page.
Glad Jedi is working for you.
edit: oh. You dont have a T989 looks like you have an I9100? Might poke around the I9100 forum to find your Odin image.
I've gone through 3-4 different posts/guides that supposedly have links to the tar file to go back to UCDLK3. But in the links are broken.
I did go to Sammobile, and it only has a Kies version (I don't even know how to use that).
Can anyone point me to the .tar download?
[EDIT]
Never mind. I found my file. I thought I had it...but it wasn't where I expected.
Hi, I'm looking for the US version of the latest stock firmware for the P5210 United States version. I've looked at sammobile.com and tried to find it there but it seems EVERY other country in the world is listed except for US versions. Is there a reason for that? Some weird laws here that prevent that? I've wondered that for a while since my original tab 7" days and I could never find US firmware for that either and had to use the UK version.
Anyway, I'm trying to install Grievous 5.0 rom and this is the first ROM i've tried putting on it. Was rooted for a while, just flashed TWRP, that went fine, made a backup. Tried installing the rom, it said successful but when I went to re-boot it, I keep getting two boots to the samsung logo then right to the TWRP main menu.
Yes... I did follow the devs installation instructions exactly. Two or three times. Tried different resets, and installation combinations with no progress, and the same result. If it matters, the file I downloaded was the android file hosting one... currently downloading it again from Mega in hopes it was just a bad download. As of right now, this thing is pretty much dead in the water.
The stock firmware is linked in the OP of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2421594
Flash it through ODIN and you should be good to go, I had a similar issue previously.
Thanks, did you ever get any ROM to install and load on yours? I'd really like to try one but so far this whole thing has been a mess. This is my first go at doing any modding on a Samsung device, I've done plenty of Motorola stuff, that just always seems to work for me with no issues. Thanks again for that link. I might have to play with this a little more when I have more time.

I was attempting to flash Pimpdroid when I had the problems, and it seemed like every time I tried to wipe/flash something went wrong. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I ended up just flashing over the stock rom. That was a couple months ago, though, and I'm not sure if flashing techniques have changed or if it has gotten any easier.
Hey man , you have not looked the firmware properly. First of all , US firmware on sammobile is always written as the country 'cellular south' . So , buddy on sammobile firmware section type p5210 and then look for the country cellular south . I was also confused first but then I found my tab's pda code and csc code and then looked for the country and it matched with cellular south . So buddy search for cellular south country . And if you don't want to download from sammobile or you have any problems downloading from sammobile , here is the link https://mega.co.nz/#!sJZCxQ7T!hdJXKXTVZe_Rx63CYE3xPESxxNr9FWqgGQgmOz1DH3A P.S. - It the latest US stock firmware for GT-P5210. And the link which darthjader has provided, the firmware is of any European country because US firmware starts from UEU. And the latest U.S. firmware is P5210UEUAMK1 . I have provided you with the link of latest P5210UEUAMK1 . And to the answer for your 2nd question , Yes, I flashed the pimproid rom without any glitches and problems. What I did was that my tab was rooted and TWRP was installed . I just placed the pimproid rom in my tab's internal sd card , booted into TWRP recovery and then without any wiping I just installed the rom because TWRP automatically wipes the data and dalvik cache . I haven't tried the grevious rom . Ok my friend , after writing such a long post I hope that you find my post useful .
PLEASE HIT THANKS IF I HELPED YOU .

This is very interesting. When I go to the OP listed above, the file name is P5210XXUAMG6_P5210OXXAMG3. However, when I look at my firmware in the device, the Build Number is JDQ.P5210UEUAMK1. Not sure how Samsung Build Numbers relate. They could be country specific like mentioned above, or something else. I just don't know.
My concern is loading a build that is not the same as the one on my Tab. I have backed up the device using TWRP but I am not sure if that particular build is included in the backup as part of the system.
I too am not sure if I have loaded stuff correctly. I know I am ROOTED because a Root Check said so. I loaded a new Rom but really saw no real difference. So I am not sure if I have done things right. I did follow the letter of the procedures to the T.
added: you can also find the firmware at this address.

Hi all.
Couple things.
1. I'm a noob here and to tweaking anything Android.
2. From all the forums I read you're all a lot smarter than I am.
-------------------
Issue: I bought a Samsung S6 (Sprint SMg920P) in June. Got it wet in July, not a lot but enough for Sprint to send me on my way to deal with it on my own.
I did let it dry out and it's worked fine all the way until about a week ago. I'm not even sure the water is really related to the issue. However, The phone began to boot loop and would not come out.
Recovery mode would only display the initial splash screen then freeze, and has never been accessible.
Download mode IS accessible.
I've downloaded ODIN.
I've tried downloading some files; G920P_SPR_G920PVPU3BOI1-G920PSPT3BOI1_Original, G920PVPU2BOF7_G920PSPT2BOF7_SPR and ran them per some tutorials, but that didn't help.
Again, I'm new and don't know if those files are even right. (ignorance is bliss I suppose - unless you want to accomplish something)
I'm hoping someone can spoon feed me the knowledge here based on your experiences.
What files should I be downloading (links(?)) and do you have any tip/tricks on resolution?
I appreciate any help here as I've had to downgrade to a Moto Photon from 2011 and it's absolutely excruciating to use.
Thanks yall!

Sounds to me like you might have an unfixable problem. Is the water damage noticeable, that Sprint won't touch? If not, take it to another and don't volunteer that information. If they are able to detect water damage and won't touch, you are kind of SOL. Make an insurance claim if you have it or try Samsung.
This is where to get the latest firmware for your device. The download is very slow. Some guys on here have uploaded for a faster DL. Look around or just wait on one of these.
Flash one of these with odin, if it doesn't work, you likely will have to replace.

Thanks todivefor! I'll give that a shot and if unsuccessful follow up with Samsung next. Appreciate the reply.

The two latest TAR files for Odin.
I would use OJ7 as it is newer and if you have taken an update, you would need that one. (You can always use a later TAR, but not revert back to an earlier.)
Use an MD5 checker (like this one for Windows: http://www.winmd5.com/) to make sure that your download is complete. Every file has an MD5, check that it matches what appears on the Android File Host page.
Best of luck.

I'm so lost on how to use this forum, and I'm really stuck. I've got an sm-g986u on at&t, it's not got an update since June. I'm trying to update it via odin. I don't use a sim card in it as it's not my main phone so I can't get ota updates, and smart switch doesn't work either. I would just throw a sim in it but I guess I bought a blacklisted phone, I didn't realize until long after I couldn't return it. Anyway, if I use frija it detects a T-Mobile update for it, but it won't download. It goes for a bit and then drops to zero mb/s. I downloaded the update myself and when I enter the files into oidn, it freezes after I select the cp file and says not responding indefinitely. I just want to get this thing to one ui 2.5. I cannot find any guide for how to do this. I've managed to confirm odin 3.14.4 is the right version of odin to use, but I can't find what the correct update should be, or a good source for it, as sam mobile's free server has been down. Can anyone help? Thank you in advance.
EDIT I found a thread explaining the process pretty well but now I have a new problem. I downloaded the suggested 3.14.13b version of odin, which is fine, and I downloaded the latest u1 update from sammobile. I'm getting an error when unzipping the ap file. I've tried the stock windows unzipper, 7 zip and 9 zip, all three error out. I tried to add the file in odin to see if it would go through it not and it just freezes, as it did before. Any help?
