Hello everyone,
I have a noob question about OTA updates after unrooting my Tab 10.1 Wifi.
After Samsung fixed the 3.2 update I updated my Tab not thinking that it was rooted. I don't necessarily care about loosing root as I really don't use it all that much. After the update it was acting strange and being really sluggish with certain things so I figured I would flash it back to stock and unroot the device and update from there. Well I used CWM to flash back the stock 3.1 ROM and then Odin to put the stock recovery back on. All went well with this and as soon as I rebooted I got the first update which was the to the market for movies. After it updates to that it stops. It's been sitting here for a couple days now without being able to update any further to TouchWiz or to 3.2. Is there something I missed that would prevent me from updating further when unrooting or am I just going to have to wait a really long time to update again?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Cody

Right now I am running stock vibrant software with the kingklick oc kernel, oncl, and stock 2.1 unlock screen.
My question is when froyo comes out (hopefully soon) will I be ok to install the ota update. Our do I need to uninstall the lag fix and other mods.
Thanks in advance.

You would have to change your kernel, and it's best if you do a wipe when installing any new rom, especially a new firmware.
Does a froyo update not replace the kernel?
I had a similar question. Stock, unrooted Vibrant.... I got the JI5 update last week over Kies. Then I read that T-Mo had said not to install it. Are the odds good that I will have to jump through hoops to get the OTA when it finally comes?

The odds are you will need to Odin back to JFD to get the update via OTA.
However the odds are also that you will find it packaged here ready to Odin before you get it via OTA. OTA's are pushed out in batches, not to every single phone at once, so it can takes days or weeks for an OTA to complete for every device.
If you're already here (and it appears you are), you will know what to do when everyone else here does.

I'm in the same spot as you. I've got a vanilla Vibe and jumped on that Kies update =)
It's a great update and fixed the GPS issue but regarding the OTA, I'm sure we'll find out what's going on once the T-Mobile updates start rolling. Fear not, you're in the right spot.

Thanks for the info.
I've been around a while just lurking & learning. I've been dieing to root this phone (first android) but didn't want to do it and turn around after and return to stock for 2.2. It does look like we will have a rom before it comes OTA anyway.
I'm sure someone will take the Froyo OTA and make a Clockwork Flashable Rom if you dont want to ODIN. So hang tight and check back because believe me that as soon as the OTA goes out, it will be on a download mirror for all us in less than 24 hours.
Its a game.
They come out with something
The Devs make it flashable

I recently rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 32GB WiFi, tried to install BusyBox (from here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtnYqAQa0ek&feature=channel_video_title) but it ended up screwing up my display on boot with all kinds of random colors making the thing useless.
So I went and returned to stock from here: http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/
This worked, then I went and checked for updates and it installed a ~11 MB file but it does not have touchwiz. Before I screwed my tablet up I did have touchwiz. What gives? I keep checking for updates but it says there's no updates. Why do I not have touchwiz?
I had this same problem and it forced me to have to put on someone's stock rom again when I really just want the REAL stock rom like I had never tried to hack my tablet. Is there anyone who can offer a walkthrough of how to do this process properly because as the original poster says, if you follow the link above, you end up not getting TW nor any further updates. If you follow the link above, the tablet ends up in a Google I/O tablet updates state and that's not what we want. We want our retail WIFI tablets back to fresh out of box status.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
I'm in the same boat. I unrooted my tab to send it in for repair. Now, it just says "No Update Available".
Yip I have the same problem thanks for bring this up to community hopefully someone can help us

I think I've found the solution.
Follow the instructions on this website http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 but stop at the section that begins Installin’ The Overcome ROM…
This worked for me

There is no such thing as someones stock rom. Its either stock(not altered, not changed, untouched) or it isn't.
You can get stock roms either here at xda or on www.sampro.pl or www.samfirmware.com and flash with odin.
A bit of a nooby question, but I've never come across it or had to do it before.
I know I could flash a custom ROM but nothing quite stands out just yet, waiting for S3 USA release. There should be a lot more action on the ROM side then.
But at the moment I'm on stock, rooted and woke up with an update on my phone yesterday. From what I've read there's 2 updates 1 after the other and 1's a new kernel. I'd rather not update and root again if there's a simple way of removing the update e.g. like say delete a file from somewhere. After all my phone's running 100% as is.
Anyone know the answer? Its bugging me now, you can only perspone it for 3 hours at a time.
If I don't get rid of it by tomorrow I'm going to reaserch if i can just update over a rooted stock ROM. Find out about the new kernel build make sure I can root after updating and reluctantly update.
Thanks in advance

Hi mate
I have the same problem and can't get rid of the OTA update available message, if you find a solution then please post.
Many thanks!!
download the 'update' from sammobile.com it's the LF2 rom, install with mobile odin and tell it to keep root.... problem solved
I just used titanium backup to delete the updater. Seems to be working fine for now.
despite how easy it is to just root my tab 10.1 and just slap the 4.0.4 update on there, i've been holding out for the OTA.
the problem is, it seems like everyone already has the GT-P7510 OTA, but i'm still getting nothing when trying to get a software update
might there be something wrong with my tablet (partially why i'm hesitant to attempt root and flash)? or will i just be the last guy to get the update in the world?

Why wait, just root and get going..........the Samsung stock build still isn't as good as the custom ROMS.

I was going to answer..but then saw this in development. Post in the right sections.
Search has only brought up users unrooting from CM or other versions, sorry if this has been covered... long story short, I rooted my wife's GNote when she first got it while on original firmware at the time of release and she hasnt been interested in flashing a custom rom. She recieved a message from ATT stating that an upgrade to JB was available via Kies. Im assuming since the device is rooted I can't upgrade it that way so im hoping someone can provide with the link to unroot from gingerbread. Also, would like to unroot it for the simple fact that Time Warner Cable's live TV app detects if the phone is rooted and its a pain to keep up with all the new detect methods with their updates..any help would be appreciated... thanks

I believe this is the method you are looking for.

Why unroot when you can flash the stock ROM?
The new rom will flash over your gingerbred and leave it unrooted jb, with all your apps and data intact. Root wasn't an issue.
