[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] meganda:
This is for those who wants start from stock rom(GT-N5110)

Hi, with what I did on my borther's Note 8. I used kies 3 to return it to stocks before doing RGIB custom rom.

It works better that way without root.

1.) How to unbrick/Restore android devices using kies 3?

This Takes 20-1 hr(Depends on your net)

Serial Number(S/N) is needed for this. I opened the back of the tablet using a card since I didn't find the right S/N on the settings. I found the S/N on the battery.

What kind of card? Card like hotel key card or similar to that(credit card or similar to that).

This link isn't using a card but its how you slowly open the back of the tablet for it not to break.

Important: After you returned to stock. Please input your google email on set up wizard. If there are updates for your applications kindly stop it since it won't matter since you're going to install a custom rom. Kindly go to developer options by pressing the build number 7 times then enable USB Debugging before going to the next step. Double check if your computer sees your device once you connect it using the usb.

2.) Follow RGIBs Post. (I suggest you put this in a single folder on your computer)

Download everything on your computer first for smooth process later.
