Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Flashing Samsung firmware with Odin is straightforward once you have the correct files. I have put everything together on this page: the right firmware file for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105, the correct Odin version, and the steps that work.
One thing to do before you start: if your device has a Samsung account signed in, sign it out before doing anything else. Knox will trigger if this step is skipped, and dealing with a KG lock after flashing takes extra time. Also, Samsung firmware comes in .tar.md5 format, after extracting the ZIP, you should see files named AP_*, BL_*, CP_*, and CSC_* (or HOME_CSC_*). If you do not see these, you have the wrong package.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 was originally released in 2012, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play. As a Samsung device, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 uses Odin for firmware installation. This is the same tool Samsung service centers use, and it works with all Galaxy devices regardless of chipset. Only one firmware build is currently available for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105. This is the stock ROM you should use for recovery, unbricking, or FRP bypass.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 was released in 2012. This page is maintained with the latest available firmware builds as they become available. This firmware was sourced directly from verified repositories and checked for integrity before being listed on this page.
Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. After extracting, you should see files named like AP_*.tar.md5, BL_*.tar.md5, CP_*.tar.md5, and CSC_*.tar.md5 (or HOME_CSC_*.tar.md5). If you do not see these files, you may have the wrong firmware package for your device.
Flashing replaces your current software completely and wipes all personal data. This is by design, it is what clears out FRP locks, bootloops, pattern locks, app crashes, and other software-level problems that a regular reset cannot fix.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Google Account Bypass After Reset
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 is to use a free Android apps launcher that lets you access settings during the setup wizard. After flashing or performing a factory reset you may see a Google account lock (FRP). Our free Android apps launcher is the fastest way to get past it. This is also why I always recommend removing your Google account before flashing, it avoids this problem entirely.
Factory Reset Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Without a PC
To factory reset Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 without a computer, power off the device completely, then hold Volume Up + Power (for older models with a Home button, use Volume Up + Home + Power) at the same time until the recovery menu appears. Use the volume keys to navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.
A hard reset erases all data and restores Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 to its original factory state. This fixes most software problems, slow performance, app crashes, forgotten screen locks, and bootloops. If the issue persists after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using Odin is covered in the following sections.
Which Firmware Version Does Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Need?
The single biggest mistake I see people make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Identify Your Exact Model Number: Go to Settings › About Phone and note your full model number (e.g. GT-P3105). The letter suffix matters, U/U1 = USA, W = Canada, N = Korea, B/F = International/Global. Flashing firmware built for a different variant can cause issues.
- Match the CSC (Region): The 3-letter region code in the firmware filename must match your device. Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or look at the Service Provider line in Download Mode. Common codes: XAA (US), BTU (UK), INS (India), SER (Russia).
- Check the Binary Level: Look at the version string in your current firmware (e.g.
XXU9BZDP, the number after the letters is the binary level). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher firmware. - Confirm the Build Date: The last 4 characters of the PDA version encode the build date, first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), second is the month (A=Jan through L=Dec).
- Verify in Download Mode: Power off, hold Volume Down + Power to enter Download Mode. This screen shows your exact model, CSC, and current firmware version, use this to confirm before flashing.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
This is the question I get asked most often in the comments, so I put together a simple guide. Find your situation in the table and go straight to the right file:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | the latest version, download this one. It is the latest Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Not sure which region/CSC to download | Check Settings › About Phone › Software Information for your current CSC, or enter Download Mode (Volume Down + Power), it shows the CSC on screen. Match the 3-letter code (e.g. XAA, BTU, INS) to the firmware filename. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. Make sure the binary level is the same or higher than what your device currently has. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash the latest version first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| the latest version failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your AP/BL/CP/CSC file assignments in Odin before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | the latest version, clean state, fresh start. |
To tell which Samsung firmware is newer, look at the last 4 characters of the PDA version string (e.g. S938BXXU9CZDP). The first character is the year (A=2024, B=2025, C=2026), the second is the month (A=Jan, B=Feb… L=Dec, Z=final stable), and the last two are the revision (0-9 then A-Z, where Z is highest). But before comparing dates, always check the binary level: the digit just before the date code (e.g. XXU9CZDP = Binary 9). You cannot downgrade to a lower binary level. If your device is on Binary 9, only flash Binary 9 or higher. Also make sure the 3-letter CSC code in the firmware matches your device region.

Important: The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 (GT-P3105) should not be confused with other Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “GT-P3105” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Confirm your exact model is GT-P3105, check About Phone, not the marketing name on the box.
- Your device must have a TI OMAP 4430 chipset. Boot into recovery mode to verify if unsure.
- Only use files downloaded from this page. Third-party mirrors may serve modified or incomplete packages.
- Compare the file size against the download table. If it does not match, the download is likely corrupt or incomplete.
Prepare Your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 for Flashing
Go through this list before you open Odin for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105. Two things that commonly cause problems with Samsung devices: a Samsung account that was not signed out before flashing, which can trigger KG lock, and a USB cable that works for charging but drops the connection mid-flash. Always use a proper data cable, not a charge-only cable.
- Record IMEI Before Flashing: Dial *#06# and save both IMEI numbers somewhere safe, a screenshot works. If flashing corrupts the baseband, these numbers are what you will need to restore cellular connectivity.
- Unlink Google Accounts: Go to Settings, then Accounts, and remove all Google accounts. This prevents Factory Reset Protection from activating after the flash. It is the single most skipped step and causes the most post-flash headaches.
- Remove Samsung Accounts: Sign out of all Samsung accounts to avoid KG lock.
- Full Data Backup: Flashing erases everything. Transfer your photos, contacts, app data, and any important files to your computer or cloud backup before starting.
- Charge the Battery: Make sure you have at least 50% charge. A dead battery during a flash can corrupt the system partition and turn a fixable problem into a much bigger one.
- Windows PC and USB Cable: You will need a Windows computer and a data-capable USB cable. Cheap charge-only cables are the number one reason flash tools fail to detect devices.
- Driver Installation:
How to Install Firmware on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105
We are using Odin for this. A quick tip: keep “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” both checked in Odin, those two options together give you the cleanest flash result. If you are not sure which Odin version to use, check our Odin versions page. Some older Samsung devices work better with older Odin builds.
- Download and Extract:
- Download the correct firmware package from the links above.
- Extract the ZIP to a simple folder path, avoid paths with spaces or special characters, as some flash tools have trouble with them.
- Install the Listed Drivers:
- Confirm all drivers listed above are installed and that your PC has been restarted since installation. Skipping the restart is a common reason drivers do not work correctly.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In Odin, click “BL” and select the BL_*.tar.md5 file. Click “AP” and select the AP_*.tar.md5 file. Repeat for “CP” and “CSC”. Use HOME_CSC to keep data, or CSC for a clean flash.
- Connect Your Device:
- Enter Download Mode: Turn off your phone, then hold Volume Down + Power (add Home button on older models) until the warning screen appears. Press Volume Up to confirm and enter Download Mode.
- Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Odin should show “Added..” in the log area, this means your device is detected.
- Start Flashing:
- Click the “Start” button to begin.
- Do not disconnect, move the cable, or touch the device until the process is fully complete. Disconnecting mid-flash is how devices get bricked.
- Wait and Reboot:
- Once flashing finishes successfully, disconnect the device.
- Power on your device. The first boot will take longer than usual, give it up to 8 minutes.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Flashing Problems and Fixes
- Odin Shows “FAIL” Instead of “PASS”:
- This is usually a mismatch between the firmware region or model and your device. Confirm your exact model number in Settings › About Phone before selecting the firmware. Even a single letter difference in the model code matters.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Not Recognized by Odin:
- Reinstall the Samsung USB drivers. Make sure you are in Download Mode. Try a different USB cable, Odin can be sensitive to cable quality.
- KG Lock / Knox Triggered After Flashing:
- This happens when a Samsung account was still signed in before flashing, or when unofficial firmware was used. Always sign out of Samsung accounts before flashing. If KG lock is already active, a professional unlocking tool is generally needed.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode (Volume Up + Power) and perform a factory reset. This clears any leftover data from the previous firmware that may be causing the conflict.
After Flashing: What Happens Next on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: Odin will show “PASS.” in green text at the top-left of the log area. If you see this, everything went fine.
- First boot takes 3 to 8 minutes, do not force-reboot the device. The operating system is setting itself up from scratch. Interrupting this is how devices end up in bootloops.
- Battery percentage may seem inaccurate for the first day. The battery statistics are calibrated during normal use. Charge the phone fully once without interruption and the readings will stabilize.
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data should all work right after setup. If mobile data is not connecting, go to Settings, SIM and Network, and re-enter your APN manually, the flash sometimes clears carrier APN settings.
- Notification sounds and ringtones will be back to factory defaults. Any custom tones you had set before will need to be re-downloaded and re-assigned in Settings.
- The phone may ask for language and region again, this is normal after a flash. You are starting from a clean state, so the setup wizard runs just like when the phone was brand new.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security settings.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Samsung device after flashing usually points to a corrupted EFS partition, this is the partition that stores your IMEI and carrier settings. Note that restoring an IMEI that is not your original number is illegal in most countries, so only do this if you are restoring the number the device had before you flashed. Tools like ChimeraTool or BFT can help with this. Check your local laws before proceeding.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 Flashing FAQ
Q1: Is this firmware compatible with other Samsung models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 GT-P3105 running on the TI OMAP 4430 chipset. Even variants of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
Q2: What should I do if I encounter an FRP lock after flashing?
A: Use our free Android apps launcher. FRP lock activates when a Google account was still signed in before flashing. This is why signing out of your Google account before flashing avoids this issue entirely.
Q3: Will flashing void my warranty?
A: Flashing official stock firmware generally does not void your warranty since you are restoring the device to its factory-intended state. However, some manufacturers may flag that the bootloader was unlocked or that the flash counter increased. Check your specific warranty terms with Samsung support if you are concerned.
Q4: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with Odin restores the device to factory state, including Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich), upgradable to 4.2.2 (Jelly Bean), TouchWiz UX UI default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q5: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some Exynos builds, but downgrading can cause security issues and app compatibility problems. If the latest version is causing trouble, leave a comment below, there is usually a better fix than rolling back.
Q6: Can I flash this firmware if my phone does not turn on at all?
A: Yes, in most cases. Samsung devices can usually enter Download Mode even when the screen is completely dead, hold Volume Down + Power for 10 seconds. If the battery is completely drained, charge it for at least 15 minutes first.
Q7: Is it safe to flash during a power outage risk?
A: It is best to avoid flashing during unstable power conditions. If your PC shuts down during the flash, it can corrupt the write and leave the phone in an unbootable state. If you are in an area with unreliable power, use a laptop with a fully charged battery instead of a desktop.
Q8: How do I enter recovery mode?
A: Power the device off completely, then hold Volume Up + Power at the same time until the recovery menu appears. For older Samsung models with a physical Home button, use Volume Up + Home + Power. The recovery menu displays the build number which you can use to verify your firmware version before flashing.
