[Q] GT-P7510 OTA never arrived? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?
demographic wise; i'm in the USA, state of Mississippi

Well according to sammobile there is a USA 4.04 update for the P7510 on Kies servers. Have you tried plugging into Kies and see if you're prompted for an update? You dont need to root to flash with Odin anyway.

thanks for that, i didn't realize kies did sanctioned firmware upgrades
but apparently my device "does not support software upgrading via Kies". oh really, samsung?
what would even prompt a device to not be supported?

Rooting it for one... But there are so many reasons for the OTA/Kies not to work, it is stunning...
You should have been able to get the OTA for almost a month now in the US, if your tab is an US one...

Kies UGH *Facepalm*

Hello everyone, as most of you know, today, March 10th, the official ICS was released on SGS2. I was previosly on CheckROM HD v6, i flashed a stock Firmware(KH3 1 file thru Odin), connected to Kies and i get the stupid error, your device does not support software update via Kies. Question is, why doesnt it still allow me to update even though im not on a custom ROM? Which firmware do i have to be on. in order to update to ICS??
Are you sure You expect official ICS to show up on KIES today..?
The latest is.. No dates for ICS yet..
Regarding your current ROM.. you haven't flashed the right one.. KIES will only recognize the official ROM for your region... As per it came installed when you got the phone
kies sucks, i have never got any service out of it other than drivers, didnt support my samsung tab nor my s2 on stock rom, they just say its not supported, downgraded to kies 1.5 or 2.something and it just says you need to update your kies lol,
i hear it looks for updates based in your region so its best to wait till theres a recovery version or one extracted from kies.

ICS hasn't been released yet
I recommend you flash a 3 file ROM, to be as stock as possible, such as XXKI3
Who needs KIES? If you already flash with ODIN/CWM, having ICS in an ODIN flashable form is a matter of hours after the KIES version is released

Are you stupid? or just plain retarded?
On every single ICS related thread, you will find that, that announcement was cancelled.....I hate it, when people don't read.

Thank you for the breakdown. The way i saw it was, KIES will be the fastest way to get ICS, even before the file gets uploaded to XDA, thats why i went with it. Checked the Official Firmware thread, didnt see anything except the BETA 4.0 and tried KIES which didnt work. So its been moved back to the original date, March 15th? 15->10->15

We don't know the exact date yet... It's still better to go with ODIN. Kies is a piece of goddamn crap. Seriously.

How fast will it be ready to be downloaded on XDA of the moment its released? Approx a few days?

Less. Usually, Sammobile gets the hold of files as soon as they are released on KIES or even before.
My guess is ICS will be a staggered release by region.
so unless you're lucky enough to be in the 1st region xda will have it before you get it via kies.

A couple of questions.

got my s3 yesterday and I thought I would try to upgrade officially rather than root straight away. tried kies first but wouldn't work and then I thought I would try the update through the phone but my phone doesn't have that in the about device bit.
so my questions are is there something wrong with my phone? and should I just use odin and flash the latest stock firmware? or which is the best custom firmware that keeps all the stock functions?
my apologies of this has all been covered before.
thanks
First we need to know what firmware have your phone preinstalled.

Your phone should be able to receive OTA updates, Kies is for most users a pain in the xxx. Best way to update is to flash the updated rom through Odin (see item 2 and 3 in my signature). For custom roms see the developers thread, there are many good rom`s with all the stock features. My preference is what you see in my banner. First read up about rooting, flashing, CWM and stuff to avoid problems
Well, since you are asking in XDA, YES don't wait for OTA or Kies. Use odin to flash original firmware.
Root it as fast as you can
Try every custom roms until you found the one you like the most.
Happy flashing

I appreciate all your answers. I'm not new to to flashing as my last phone was an S2 running wajk miui, just curious as to whether there was something wrong with my phone as it doesn't have the update in about device.
didn't want to root straight away as I'm not convinced I want to keep this phone yet, not impressed with it as I thought I'd be.

You say Kies does not work ???
No update well that begs the question is their an update for your phone .
No OTA in settings About Phone System Update that suggestions that the vendor has removed OTA updates .If so firmware updates are via Kies when the vendor decides to push them out .

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

[Q] Factory Unlocked S2 and official jelly bean update

Hello to everyone. Sorry if the post does not go here.
I have a factory unlocked Galaxy S2 and wanted to know if there is a way to update it with the official jelly bean update, since the roll out started for some countries i thought maybe i could do the update too. My country didn't recieve the update yet, and when i search for updates, it obviously says theres none. But wanted to know if theres a method, that does not involve rooting or something like that.
Thanks in advanced
Just flash some other countries rom
I.e Spain
Yeah i heard that, but i wanted to know if there was a way to updating it without flashing some rom. Because i cant understand why i can update since my phone is unlocked. I even tried to search for updates without a sim but with no luck.

No.
If you want JB now then you will need to flash Spains or some other countries stock rom via ODIN or flash a custom rom via cwm recovery.

It's about the firmware, not about network status (locked - unlock).
Judging by your nick you are from Argentina-Uruguay. You'll get the update in march.

hahah gastonw you are correct about the country! My phone is from eeuu, but it was updated with ICS from my country, so I suppose I´ll have to wait till march.
Thanks to all for the help

Just flash it via Odin / mobile odin so you can show off running JB while your friends run gingerbread or ICS (or iOS, they always look away going like "argh...I got nothing to show against that spaceship", luv it )

[Q] {Q} Official Updates in the uk?

Hi,
My gf has the same phone as me, but I've rooted mine and got Ultimarom 10.1. However she only has ICS. I would like to avoid rooting it, and I'd also like to keep it all official so her insurance will pay out. she does drop it every now and again,
anyway the main thing im concerned with is she keeps having random reboots and she is most likely vulnerable to sds, and less serious problems like media server draining battery. (EDIT:all fixed in my rom lol)
I want to know what is the latest OFFICIAL update for the UK, i9300, using only kies or ota or any other official channels? I would prefer not to use sam mobile.... anyway before i tell her i need her phone for several hours (update restore tidy n setup) I'd like to know if there is a jb update for her available on kies or ota
She's 100% stock.

latest is emb5 for uk which is based on 4.1.2 if you didnt know already
ok but will that actually come up on kies? because it deffo doesnt come via "system updates" in settings like i said i want to avoid unofficial channels

which carrier is the phone on or is it unlocked? emb5 is the latest unbranded fw im not overly sure in terms of carrier branded fws the only way to check that would be the carriers forums, other people on here with the same carrier or check on sam mobile, but im sure there will be an update to jelly bean if you plug the device in through kies i would have thought because everyone in the uk should have jelly bean by now
Not being funny, but I would trust the Odin flash method far far more than I would trust Kies or OTA
Simple connect to Kies update for that phone is a yes or no .
No then flash latest UK stock from General Firmware thread .Or wait and wait and wait for Kies to get the update for that phone .##
Stock Samsung firmwares via Odin do not invalidate warranty .

She's on O2 and i suspect it's locked. Not checked...
Like I said I don't really want to set her laptop up with kies n everything unless I know there is one... However it's good to know that it won't void the warranty, would her insurance still pay out presuming that I don't break it in the update process?
