Lately they've been bringing me more and more often android devices infected with viruses. Moreover, the classic factory reset does not solve the problem, because Viruses infect files in the recovery partition and are saved during the recovery process. And so they brought us just such a Samsung to the SC.

So. The first thing I did was perform a control factory reset. Did not help. Then I went to the official Samsung website, where in the download section there was only Kies (the standard utility for working with the device), through which, by the way, you can also flash the tablet. I installed it, tried to run the firmware, Kies wrote that the firmware was up to date.

To flash the firmware for a Samsung device, you need special utility Odin (link after article). You also need a firmware file and switching the device to firmware mode, the so-called ODIN MODE. And so, further in order.

Then you need to install the driver for the device without connecting the device to the computer. To do this, you can install either Kies or just one driver (link at the bottom). You also need firmware for the device (link below to version 4.2.2) and the Odin program. More about it below.

How they write thematic forums the most stable versions are 1.87 and 3.07. But version 3.09 is available for download. I started with it, tempted by the novelty. But when I connected the device, I was still unable to pair them (the indicator in the program was always blue, which means that the device port is visible, but it is impossible to connect to it). Then I installed version 3.07 - same story. I started looking for problems elsewhere - I changed the cable, changed the computer with a different OS (win 7 64, win 7 32, win XP), downloaded about seven different drivers - zero results. Finally, I tried to install Odin version 1.87 and lo and behold, everything worked - the indicator turned yellow.
Then it's a matter of technology. For Samsung there are one and three file firmware. In our case, it is just a single file. Check the boxes on the screenshot, click on the PDA button and select our firmware. Then press the start button, which will start the process of flashing the device. Also above the yellow indicator there will be a green progress bar and information about completion. After flashing the firmware, the device will reboot and the process can be considered complete.

Step-by-step instruction

How to flash Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 tablet

The idea to flash the tablet came to me after updating it, to put it simply, my beloved Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 became simply stupid, under heavy load it just stupidly froze and hung on one picture for 10 hours until it ran out, and so on Hard Reset There is no button to restart, there is no option. In short, I was thoroughly upset. In general, of course, there can be many reasons for firmware, and since you are here, it means you don’t need to explain them all.

And so let's start from the very beginning, what we need for this...

  1. SAMSUNG USB Driver Mobile Phones v1.5.33.0()
  2. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 firmware itself ()
  3. Firmware program Odin()
  • The first thing we do is install the SAMSUNG USB driver (number 1) on our computer.
  • Next, install Odin (number 3)
  • Now the most important thing is to put the tablet into download mode using the top two buttons 1+3, holding them down simultaneously for several seconds (see the picture below)
  • Next, after the menu appears, press button 2 from the picture above (the sequence is in the pictures below).

  • This window will open, this is exactly what you need

  • Well, we are all ready to flash the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT-P5100 firmware
  • Let's take it USB cable connect our tablet to the computer
  • Open the Odin program that we previously installed
  • The program should determine the port to which our device is connected (circled in red in the picture below)

  • Now all that remains is to specify the path to the firmware itself. Since I have a multi-file service firmware, there are several files in the archive and I need to specify the path to all of them. Pay attention to the name of the file; it usually matches the name of the buttons. Most large file indicate in PDA, indicate the path there if you have only one file in the archive.
  • The green scale in the picture shows the loading process and the most top button in the left corner too.
  • When everything is ready, just press the Start button and wait for the firmware to finish.
  • Next, the tablet will reboot....give it time to boot.

Now there are rules that should not be neglected....

THE TABLET MUST BE CHARGED!

IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU CAN DO, DO NOT START

KNOW YOUR TABLET MODEL

If you previously unsuccessfully flashed the tablet and it no longer works boot menu and does not respond to the power key, perhaps the firmware did not suit your tablet. Press all three buttons at the same time and on the second button logo as usual, perhaps this will help you enter the desired menu.
