Many users have been searching for the stock ROM for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as they want to return back to a fully working firmware or for warranty reasons (your warranty gets voided if you flash a custom ROM or root your Samsung Tab).
In case you are running a custom ROM, you must flash this stock firmware to make the UMS flash storage utility work on the Tab 10.1 (as that utility does not works on many custom firmwares).

Fortunately, the Galaxy S3 UMS mode has been adapted to work with the tab 10.1. The utility is straight forward – it allows the user to mount the external SD card as USB flash storage device.
