If you are the owner of a Chinese tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8000 and you need to do a hard reset (return to factory settings), then read this article.

There are times when you need to reset your settings due to an application error, a virus being introduced to the operating system, or you simply want to delete all information from your tablet.

The reasons for system failure may be due to memory overload (many applications, games and other programs were once installed). Also, the tablet may, in addition to errors with the OS, simply not turn on or turn off. The gadget may freeze, load slowly, etc., then resetting the settings will also help.

There are several ways to perform a hard reset: software and hardware reset.

Difference between reset methods

They differ in that during a soft reset you can select deletion items. The information will be deleted from the memory card and from the operating system memory. With a hard reset, you cannot select uninstall options. Thus, it is always better to save information from your tablets on media whenever possible, because... All installed applications, account data, personal data and settings are deleted. And even if you want to return your firmware later, this will not be possible unless you “reflash” the tablet again.

Do not forget that you do all these actions at your own peril and risk; we recommend taking your tablet to a service center where specialists will help you.

Soft reset

A soft reset is much easier to do than a hardware reset. To do this, you need to go to the menu, then to settings. Find the item “accounts” or “personal data”, click on “backup and reset”, or on “restore and reset”. Then go to the “reset settings/data” item. This way you can reset your Samsung n8000 to factory settings and delete all data.

Hard reset

To perform a hard reset, you must hold down the “Volume +” and “Power” buttons from the off or on state, holding them for about 5-7 seconds. After the “Android system recovery” window appears, stop holding the buttons. Next, select the “wipe data\factory reset” item using the volume key and confirm with the “Power” button. In the same way, confirm the item “Yes – delete all user data”. All. Factory reset has started. You just need to click “reboot system now”.


There is another interesting way to hard reset Samsung n8000. In the phone number dialing field, enter: *2767*3855#. After some time, your tablet will return to factory settings.

Counterfeits of popular tablet models appear on sale not much later than the official start of sales. Large brands suffer the most from the actions of such “craftsmen.” Buyers who receive a counterfeit under the guise of an original Samsung Galaxy Note H8000 tablet may be forever disappointed in the brand. What can you do to avoid falling for scammers?

The level and quality of counterfeits is constantly improving. The first versions of fakes are so crude that even an inexperienced buyer can spot it. All the tips listed below are general and will certainly help you identify a fake. But do not forget that you may have a fake tablet of the highest quality in your hands, and in order to determine its authenticity you will need to show more attention to details and characteristics.

The photo below is an example of an original tablet and a fake. In our case, it is very easy to identify a fake, even by appearance. The size of the tablet does not correspond to reality; the Samsung logo is smaller in size. The display diagonal of the counterfeit tablet is about 9 inches. At the same time, the diagonal of the original Samsung tablet is 10.1 inches.

The fake that ended up in our hands is radically different from the original in the arrangement of ports and connectors. This is clearly visible in the photo below. Any comments here are unnecessary.

The charger of this Samsung tablet has a Micro-USB connector. Our fake is equipped with a connector of unknown origin, and this is clearly visible in the photo of the plug from the charger. If you try to buy such a charger in a store, you will fail, which once again confirms the fakeness of the tablet as a whole.

The back panel of the Samsung GalaxyNoteN8000 branded tablet with a diagonal of 10.1 inches is smooth. In our fake it is stylized to look like cheap leather. Here we see the camera lens shifted to the corner, while on the original tablet it is located in the center.

After turning on the planet, the fake will allow you to calculate the low quality of the matrix and color rendition, including noticeable pixels on cheap copies. The display resolution of the original Samsung Galaxy Note tablet is 1280x800 pixels, while the fake one is only 800x480.

The fake tablet runs on the cheapest Chinese Allwinner processor. For example, the most expensive processor from this company costs no more than $4. It's not difficult to guess what quality our processor has. The original tablet uses Exynos 4412 processors.

The camera is another weak point of any fake. In our case, the tablet manufacturer installed a 0.3 MP camera in his “work of art”.

Also, a fake can be identified by the small amount of built-in memory, the appearance of icons, the desktop, installed applications and similar little things.

    A lot has already been written here about the advantages of a working device and I agree with everyone, so let’s go straight to the disadvantages. The only thing I want to add is that I really liked SPen.. Writing texts, at least for me, was inconvenient, so after several attempts I abandoned this idea, but I really liked sketching out a primitive diagram of a room or a kitchen cabinet with dimensions.. much more convenient than do the same on a piece of paper, and then look for it.

    I bought a tablet as a gift for my wife in December 2012. Therefore, the maximum configuration with 64GB was chosen. In April 2013, at one point he died - multi-colored ripples appeared on the screen and none of my manipulations (reboots, an attempt to completely reset, etc.) had a positive effect. I took it to the service center under warranty. Where they replaced the system board. After that it worked great for another 4 months. And so, while abroad, where it was especially needed as a navigator, a cartoon player for my daughter. a means of accessing the Internet and as a telephone (a local SIM card was inserted into it), for no apparent reason he simply passed out. Today I took it back to the service center, where in a conversation with the technician I found out that this problem periodically occurs with these 64GB tablets and is caused by filling the internal

    Life time. Exactly equal to the warranty and that's all...With very careful handling, it turned off, discharged and no longer charges or turns on. They said it was a motherboard defect. At the service center, repairs cost 15 thousand. They offered to buy it for spare parts. Moreover, the connector for the pen was bent. I called the Samsung company, they told me (literally): “What do you want, this is technology...” This kind of treatment is visible to everyone. I don’t want to buy Samsung equipment anymore, especially expensive ones.

    It is impossible to flash the 64 GB version (and downloading it from the manufacturer’s website will not help you) - if the firmware fails, then the tablet becomes a piece of iron, suitable only for selling the matrix.
    After six months of use, large black squares began to appear on the display.
    The stylus is difficult to use, so it is practically unnecessary.
    The tablet itself is heavy.
    Adobe Flash Player, even if installed, does not work, so the video can only be watched on YouTube and on some sites.
    When running text files it sometimes crashes.
    When charging or accessing the Internet, it heats up quite noticeably.

    1. The appearance is not very good, in my opinion it’s just not good. The design is essentially from GalaxyTab. But Note is a flagship, it simply has to look beautiful and expensive!
    2. I think the price is too high, I took more than the third stub. Well, this is not normal, the Koreans are crazy!
    3. The charging cable is very short - 96 cm, it is missing everywhere, it is very annoying! When charging from the outlet, the tablet lies on the floor, from the computer - on the system unit.
    4. Expensive branded accessories. They even sell the docking station without a wire! Considering the length of the included cable, the docking station should be located almost on the power source (computer outlet), which is simply absurd. You can't put a tablet in a case in the Dock. The docking station is an expensive and useless thing, I don’t recommend buying it.
    5. There are many complaints about defects in the top version 64GB.

A hard reset did not help (resetting to factory settings), this was the first time I encountered such a problem, so the first solution was to seek help from experts. I took it to one miracle workshop, where it lay for almost half a year.. They couldn’t find the firmware in any way.. My patience came to an end, I took it away. On the way home I picked up a few more pros. They promised to do it within a day. To come pick it up in the evening - it turns out they didn’t ask for it. The answer is the same - they can’t find the firmware. They returned it in the same condition that I gave it to them.

Well, it wasn’t, I thought and decided to make my contribution to the repair of this unit, it can’t get any worse. After rummaging through the forums at home, reading how and what they use to sew such devices, I realized that the most important thing is to guess the firmware version. There were a lot of firmware options online for similar Samsung Galaxy Nout counterfeits. So I started downloading and trying them.

The most popular firmware for this device on the network turned out to be this: MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.1os_Root_Firmware_D20130601_UP And MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.2_Os_Root_Firmware_J20131101, but they completely lacked touchscreen support. That is, everything is beautiful, even if it’s in Chinese, but you can’t move your finger across the screen, you can only control the tablet from the keyboard, which turned out to be very inconvenient. I started looking for other options. On the site w3bsit3-dns.com and other similar sites, I found a lot of useful information. And having tried 100500 firmware, I never found one that would work with the tablet normally. Some worked with the touchscreen, but it had a dead zone about a centimeter from below, others had the calibration of pressing the screen knocked down, that is, you had to point your finger a centimeter below, others did not have a motion sensor or accelerator, some were in Mexican or completely in Arabic languages ​​and so on. In general, I was tired of looking for a pig in a poke and I remembered that when I disassembled this tablet, I took several pictures of its insides and decided to look at the markings on them. The fact that there was a miracle processor there

All Winner A13 I remembered, and it didn’t give me anything, but what other inscriptions were there... After looking through the photos, I found this treasured inscription on one of the boards of the nameless tablet: “For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4”.

Well, now at least there was some other clue. Having gone to the software repository on mail ru through the same wonderful site 4PDA, I found several firmware for "For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4". Well, there was little left to do. Having downloaded the one that weighed more, 624 meters, I uploaded it to my tablet, waited impatiently for it to reboot, and was upset, the tablet froze on the same inscription “android”, on the second try I was lucky, downloading this “ZET6223WTAROM” weighing in 446 megabytes, firmware, I got 100% results! The tablet started working. Everything, absolutely everything worked as it should. Loading speed, screen, touchscreen and Wi-Fi - everything worked perfectly. I didn’t even imagine how it would be possible to upload a lot of cool applications to this China! The firmware turned out to be compiled on Android 4.0.4, which also pleased me, that is, it was more recent.

Well, now, in order, how and with what I did it all.

What we need: a computer with the Windows XP or Windows 7 32-bit operating system, the Phoenix suit program, a cord for connecting the tablet, firmware and the tablet itself.

First, you need to make preliminary preparations - setting up the tablet driver, both turned on and in firmware mode.
To do this we do the following:

1) install the Phoenix suit program on your computer (download)

2) We connect the switched on tablet, we hear the sound of the connected device, we see the ANDROID device in the equipment


we right-click on it Shki, select - Update driver

In the next window, select what is shown in the figure below

click next:


then "Install from disk":


then click on button "REVIEW" and indicate the path to the folder with the installed softwaregram Phoenix Suit\Drivers\AW_Driver



And click "OPEN", select usbdrv from the AW_Driver folder, click on "Open" again



and then to "OK"



The following window will appear with the driver that needs to be installed, ignoring the warning that it does not have a digital signature, click "NEXT"



the equipment will be installed and a message will appear indicating that everything is ready.



All the same actions need to be performed with the tablet in UPDATE mode (this is when it is turned off, press the "Volume +" button, hold it and connect it via a cord to the PC, the red indicator on the tablet lights up, but the screen does not light up. The device will definitely be like an unknown one , perform all the same actions described above). Otherwise, Phoenix Suit will not see the tablet and will not be able to flash it.

We launch it, and do not forget to make sure that no errors occurred during the installation process, the goodle driver was installed

2) download this firmware (download) or another.

Now the actual firmware:
We launch the Phoenix suit program, click on the “anchor” icon, select the firmware, connect the cord to the computer via USB, then with the tablet turned OFF, press the “Volume +” button, hold it, connect the cord to the tablet and quickly press (without releasing the “Volume +” button "Back button, the firmware will start automatically after detecting the device.
