finally appeared to have successfully gotten jh7 ota via kies mini earlier today but not sure everything is 100% as should be. Everything processed and said installed succesfully.
Phone and PDA show as JH7
CSC still shows as JF6?
can someone else on jh7 check theirs?
my csc should be jh7 too right?
Samsung Kies webpage mentions update to JH7 via Kies Mini.
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=338212
Meh.. read the details.
* Does the JH7 update contain an upgrade to Android 2.2 (Froyo)?
o No. JH7 is maintenance release.

MEH! what are you talking about? OP wanted to know what the CSC field should read - I see no mention of Froyo in this thread. Your link has no mention of CSC versions either. Are you even answering the right question?
OP, CSC should be JF6 still.
thanks...had finally found another post stating csc should still be jf6
glad to see a confirmation
Hello all,
like many users i've forced the mango update on my Omnia 7.I ended up with firmware version 2424.11.8.2.
However, i read that most of the users that got the update the "normal" way got firmware version 2424.11.8.5, so i rolled back to NoDo and updated again - still i get 2424.11.8.2.
So my question is - is my firmware ( 11.2 ) mango, or do i need to update my phone manually somehow?
Anyone knows what's the difference between 2424.11.8.5 and 2424.11.8.2 ?
My samsung now app doesnt auto-refresh also..could this be related to the firmware ver?
When you say "forced" the update, what do you mean?
Also, when you rolled back and then re-installed, did you need to do anything special to re-install?

2424.11.8.5 is the Mango update with Samsung drivers and 2424.11.8.2 without.
If you wanna enable Internet Sharing feature you need firmware 2424.11.8.5, this you can also do manually with Cab sender... just search here in the forum.
I flashed back to a branded T-Mobile rom for getting firmware 2424.11.9.4, with my unbranded Samsung rom I couldn´t update the firmware.

I mean i used the cable trick (google it) to get the update b4 it was available for my phone through zune.
After i rolled back i installed in the normal way - didnt use tricks, zune said there's an update, so i updated.I guess this is the official update for my phone.But i dont get it, why it comes without samsung drivers..
Unbranded phone
As I understand it if you have an unbranded Omnia 7 then you will only have 11.8.5 and that does not give you tethering. For me to get tethering I need the firmware update that only seems to come from the carriers themselves which leaves me in the lurch.
I do not want to faff about with unlocking them especially as I have 3 unbranded phones I guess I will just have to wait and see what Microsoft push out to us plebs. You can of course install the firmware if you phone is unlocked and you will find plenty of instructions on how to do this.
Hey guys, im new.
Got a question if you dont mind? (hope this is the right place to post)
I have a Galaxy S2 GT i9100, im on the network 3 in the UK, and the phone is unbranded and unlocked.
i recently flashed the Polish version of the official ICS because i am impatient. (3 released their version 3 days later )
so, i began the process of flashing an older rom, KE7 to be exact, just so Kies can accept my phone to back up and to receive the latest official UK release of 3s ICS. I have successfully flashed and kies recognised my phone, but the version it is suggesting to update to is KI4??
Do i need to update the firmwares previous to ICS before i can actually get ICS?
Any help will be appreciated.
thanks
You need to flash the 3 branded firmware in order to get the recent 3 update. If that's what you did then I don't know what's wrong. If you didn't do that then go get the correct firmware from here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
Thanks for the reply,
foolishly i never checked what the original firmware was, but i never had a '3' logo on the boot up of the phone, i didnt buy it from '3' either, i got it from an online based contract provider on '3'.
So i just assumed i could reflash a sim free firmware then kies would recognise my number as being a '3' number - or is this not the case?
Do you think i should download the KI4 and see if it recommends a futher update?
Cheers
will do, il report back.
Officially updated through kies to 2.3.4 KI4, but no update to ICS. hmm, not sure what to do next, try another base firmware?
Any suggestions?
If you have an official 3 firmware then it should be offering you the update, as far as I'm aware. I suppose the fact that it came from a non-3 supplier may make a difference.
The alternative is to just download and flash the latest 3 firmware yourself, which you can get here...
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=1
Just scroll to the bottom of the list and you'll see LPQ for 3 customers.
ahh, that was going to be my next question 'would the fact i got it through a third party vendor determin whether i got ics through 3' i cant find a clear answer for this.
so if i take the bloatware on the chin and get ics through odin on 3, would kies recognise this and enable me to back up?
Turned on my tab this morning before work and after a few minutes a pop up displayed a message indicating a firmware update was available. Didn't do anything 'cause I'm rooted and customized and wasn't sure CWM would remain to get me back to where I was. Looked here expecting to see everyone talking about it and disecting it and am suprised to see nothing. Maybe this is old news and I missed it? I keep this site up on a browser tab 100% but it is still possible. I searched and went back a few and didn't see anything. Anyone else getting this?
i saw the update late last night, and tried to do it, but it kept giving errors when i tried to install it both from kies and ota. My firmware wasnt listed in the stock firmware list so i used odin to put in stock firmware, amd now the update isnt showing.
The update was 150mb and said something about updating the market.
Heres hoping i didnt delay ics for myself
On my end both kies and the built in updater are telling me there is no update so maybe something strange happened on their end? Or maybe they are getting ready to release it
150MB? doesnt sound like ICS. I would expect it to weigh in over 400MB. Hopefully Im wrong. Maybe its some "prep" update to fix someting for the coming ICS.
What build number are you on? The latest for the P6210 is LA3. Since you can't update with a custom recovery in place you may be behind a version or two and thats why Kies is telling you an update is available. To get any update, including ICS, you will have to put the stock recovery back, this is all covered in Gary's post for rooting and installing CWM Recovery. No device I know of will accept a carriers or manufacturers update with a custom recovery in place.
My GT-P6210 is stock, and neither Kies nor the device shows a firmware update. Kies says current firmware is PDA:LA3/CSC:LA3 (XAR).
I'm not sure what firmware I was last night. I did a search for the firmware version it said I had, but I was only able to find one or two references to it.
I am currently on LA3 and not seeing any updates available.
Yeah, I feel like an idiot. I upgraded to LA3, couldn't use Gary's kernel (and I had to have it for my project) so I downgraded with my nandroid. I used Kies to get the upgrade, was not prompted, and forgot about it. So...sorry, fellas! False alarm. Feel free to ignore my future outbursts.
The P6210 I purchased earlier this week came with LB2. Is this newer or older than LA3?
LA3 is the third firmware build in Jan 2012. LB2 would be the second build in Feb of 2012 (so LB2 would be newer.)

I supposed it is not possible to extract the ROM file out of the tablet, as I didn't get any response here.
Could LB2 be for Canada only (since ikeny's P6210 was bought there)? Would that explain why U.S. customers aren't seeing it as an available update?

Could be. But interestingly, there is no "English (Canada)" or "French (Canada)" in the language selection. Hopefully it's not any hardware differences.
[Update] In the other thread about the IR port, it's been pointed out that the Canadian version does not include the IR port. I don't get Samsung, it's like they think the fragmentation problem is not bad enough (GTab 7, 7.7, 8.9, 10.1, 7.0+... ), they want to introduce more different variants (P6200, P6210; now P6210 with IR and without IR). No wonder why it is taking so long to release ICS for all these devices !!!

Kies wont' display my firmware version, which is annoying. Can I find out from the device itself? Navigating to About Device shows no "firmware" but mentions "Kernel Version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728 [email protected] #3" with "Build Number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC". What the <bleep> does *that* mean??

KJC:
K == 2011 (K is 2011, L is 2012, M will likely be 2013)
J == October (10th letter of the alphabet, 10th month of the year..)
C == 12th revision (1,2,3,...8,9,A,B,C,D)
hmmm, not as recent as LB2 then
I guess I could always take it to an authorised service centre for an official firmware upgrade...
A couple of quick questions:
1). My GT7+ build number is P6210UELA1 and it's rooted with Gary's method. Will the firmware update remove the root?
2). What does this firmware fixed? The only problem I have are:
- Lag after using the device for certain time (moving screen, etc.)
- Apps that are tablet-optimized is not shown as such (Mint, TripAdvisor) and shown in "phone" mode.
1. AFAIK, none of garyd's root options are compatible with standard firmware updates. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
In order to upgrade your firmware, you'd need to restore your tablet to stock first and then upgrade to the latest firmware.
2. AFAIK, the issues you are experiencing will not be remedied by updating the firmware.
Thanks for the information. Do you know if I can re-root once I downloaded the latest firmware? I.e. download latest firmware, lose root, with new firmware re-root.

Yes.
Before I recently switched to an older firmware (so that I could use garyd's custom kernel), I had updated to the latest LA3 and rooted using p6210_CWMR_20120107.zip from [GT-P6210][CWMRecovery][ROOT] ClockworkMod Recovery and Root (07-Jan-2012). My tablet was running fine.
OK, after having waited and waited (and then waited some more) for an official update to my GT-6800, it's still running Honeycomb and all attempts to upgrade either directly from Tab or via Kies result in either "no update available" or ""Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies" - it's time to risk the brick bug and do a manual upgrade.
This raises a few questions:
- What's the best method to update - 'Mobile ODIN' or is there a better way?
- Should I go to ICS 4.0.4 first and then update to 4.1.2 or can I go direct?
- My Tab has been confirmed as vulnerable to the brick bug - what measures can I take to minimise risk?
- And why the hell have I not got an official OTA or Kies update after a year of it being available? My tab reports firmware of:
PDA:LA2 / PHONE:LA1 / CSC:LA2 (XSG)
.. do I have some sort of weird development version that isn't supported for official upgrade or something? AFAIK the Tab was untouched before I got it and unrooted (it was advertised as 'brand new' and certainly seemed so when I unboxed it so I doubt someone has been on there and rooted it, plus I did a root check and it ain't showing as rooted). It was bought via eBay from a UK supplier but is definitely a grey import as it came with a two-prong European type power adaptor and not the 3-pin UK plug.

First... KIES and the OTA upgrade system both suck. However, it's not their fault in this case: your XSG tab has the latest firmware available for that country code (XSG means your tab is from the UAE).
But save yourself from the trouble anyway. You're under HC, so the brickbug-trigger isn't set on your kernel. This means you can consider yourself safe. AFAIK JB is also brickbug-safe, so going straight from HC to JB is probably your best bet. If you do it like that, your tab will never be running under a kernel that does the secure erase that triggers the bug.
If you're not rooted and you don't intent to, just use Odin (PC Odin, not the Mobile Odin). That will factory reset your tablet, which is probably the best for stability.
