My TF101 shipped wiht 8.2.3.6 (04142011) firmware.
FOTA search says no FOTA.
I tried manual update and it picked up and rebooted but stopped with an exclamation.
Then it rebooted after some time and said update was successful though it was not. In 'About the Device' it says the build is still 8.2.3.6.
How do I make it update properly to 8.2.3.9?
I would just try to run the manual update again. It worked fine for me. Are you sure that you downloaded and installed the launcher update first? I believe it will fail if you don't install the updated launcher first.

I finally update to JH7 - what a pain in the A$$!
I removed lag fix and flashed back to JH6 then tried the update - failed at 50%; set the date forward and it failed again. Did a master reset on the phone - wipes all data - this lets you redownload the update without waiting 24 hours - failed at 50% again, tried one more time, same result.
So i turned to Kies. Kies would not detect my phone until I turned on mass storage, then back to Kies. But then Kies wanted to update itself and nothing. So back to an old version of Kies and I got some error in the middle of the telling me there was an update.
Finally I found this thread:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/185812-jh7-firmware-upgrade-successful-through-kies.html
He says that 1.5.3 version of keys works and the update from kies to get to this version is broken (yes I had this experience) - but the download link to Kies in Korea is slow.
So i found this link to Kies on the AT&T forums:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=17489KPQ
I did not registry cleaning, but i did remove old Kies, delete directory, reboot and install this new Kies. My phone was detected and the update was pushed down to the phone via Download mode.
Kernel is the same, so I will probably put voodoo lagfix back soon.
Exchange works fine for me, so not sure what others see as an issue.
Don't update QuickOffice! The one in JH7 is newer and better.
I can personally verify that this worked. Flashed Odin3 one click to get back to JF6 stock, then followed the directions. Works perfectly and I now have the official JH7 update on my phone
It Works!
This method worked for me as well!
I had originally rooted/sideloaded/removed AT&T bloat on my original stock firmware. OTA update wouldn't work. Restored original stock firmware with Odin and master reset, but update would always fail at 50%.
Using KIES to update worked, and it is the actual AT&T firmware update since it installs QuickOffice (I don't believe the JH7 on samfirmware.com adds QuickOffice).
GPS also works after the update with the "wireless network" option enabled, but the test mode appears to be locked with this update.
OTA update didnt work for me but Kies did. thanks to the OP.
Hi guys, earlier i tried updating my phone to 2.3 gingerbread. And some reason, when finish downloading and was checking for approval package or something like that told me failed. Now im trying to update it again, and just tells me "Current version is the latest" I was rooted but i unrooted my phone before i did the updated, even did a reset factory on my phone. Any help on this?
I just today checked via software update and my P6210 model had a firmware update so I installed it. I have yet to see any changes though.
I unrealisticly was hoping it was ICS, but hopefully it is at least a peroration for ICS.
yes, there is an update, something around 19 mb, device failed to update (tried twice)
any possible reason (may be root)?
it also failed when I tried it at first. Then I followed the instructions and connected it to my computer to have Kies manage the firmware update. Its currently updating and seems to be going fine. I'll report back if it fails.
EDIT: worked like a charm. wonder why it can't do it without kies.
Firmware update took away root, replaced my kernel. garys root still works though, so whatevs.
Ics should be coming soon this year.
I have a notification that there's a firmware update but when it proceeds to install it gets stuck for hours with the message "checking the integrity of your firmware file"
I'm on stock JB 4.1.1, unrooted. I tried rebooting but same result. Any ideas?

Have you tried deleting the cached firmware update yet? You could use the manual update process referenced in the relevant sticky thread (you do not need to be rooted or unlocked, nor do you need to have a custom bootloader). Do you have a clue on which update it'd be? (I'm asking because you seem to be on the latest and "greatest", and it might be a small firmware for the camera, and therefore not immediately super-duper-significant).
I was able to install the first of the two updates earlier for the 5.1.1 update on my Verizon Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. The second downloads, prompts for install, reboots and begins installing but errors out and reboots back into the OS home screen. The Verizon software update manager shows Failed software update error code 402. I have factory reset my tablet a couple of times and still same issue. I do not have my tablet rooted and no apps disabled.
I downloaded the latest available Samsung firmware md5 file, version VZW-P905VVRUANK1-20141205133604 and tried flashing using Odin 3.07 while in download mode. It starts and after a few seconds, Odin fails and on the tablet screen, I get the error, SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1. I have re-downloaded the firmware along with older versions and still same issue.
I was reading somewhere that my tablet could be "soft bricked" and that is why it will not install the second part of the OTA. As for the Odin/download mode error, I had read that the firmware version I am trying to flash in Odin has an older version of bootloader than my current and Samsung does not let you downgrade the bootloader. I may be wrong on both accounts, which is why I am seeing if anyone else has had this same issue or have any advice on what I can try.
Thanks in advance!
Same here. I unforze all the apps unintstalled SU and factory reset still no dice. VZW repair assistant wont work or smart switch. RA says device firmware not supported and smart switch says im up to date. The first part of the update installed no problem.

I had the exact same issues. Here's what I did with my 4.4.2 Rooted NP. I wiped it completely from within the device, then connected it and to the VZW software and let it do a "Repair". After that, my tablet also said that it was up to date, still on 4.4.2. I let it sit overnight and tried downloading the software update the next morning from the tablet, and it took both of them. My NP is rocking 5.1.1. now, much faster. No root but that's alright for now. By running the repair assistant from VZW, it also got rid of the Unlocked Symbol, which may have prevented the upgrade in the first place.

I was able to get mine to update using ODIN and the firmware file from sammoble. Factory reset on the tablet, factory reset in recovery and finally ODIN worked.
I was having the same problems as the OP listed. Once I decided to live without root and I would be okay with wiping the tablet, I performed exactly what dansto82 said he did and I'm now on 5.1.1.
Now hoping someone comes up with a way to root.
Hey, I have the p905v and it is running 4.4.4, I rooted it with towelroot and it was completely fine. I then tried putting twrp recovery on it the wrong way through flashify and now I don't have a recovery mode and can't update it to 5.1.1. Other than that the tablet runs perfectly fine. Is there a way I can fix it?
