Hello All,
I just received my transformer back from RMA yesterday for a screen defect. Anyways i now have a build number of US_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730 (I'm in Canada), isn't that build number suppose to be for the WW version?
Having said that I am not getting the OTA update, and i cannot manually downgrade to a US firmware. Anyone else seen this issue?
I am also in the same boat. I am going to manually apply the new update now that it is on the FTP server, if it ever finishes downloading.
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.
I kept pressing check update but it still says "there is no update available"
Yes, I'm in Ontario and I'm currently installing the WW firmware update.
Downloaded it 15 minutes ago in Ontario. US version.
I checked my u11+ for updates (for a laugh) last week - nothing.
Today, there iss an update waiting which is 2.19.400.2 - the same as what's installed?
The only thing I can think of is that I tried installing TWRP once but if failed so left it for another time as thinking of the project treble updates.
Anyone else had this? What should I do?
Hi, I also received this update notification today.
I'm also holding off on the update for now as its been a while since the HTC U11 plus received any updates....
just received update notice 2.19.400.2, also holding, was thinking about pulling it out, but don't know how, am still pure raw unrooted.
I just received an update notice for 2.19.401.2 (502.4 MB).
Not enough for an OS increment. I'm waffling.
I just received this notification too.
But I'm reluctant to install it because I'm rooted, and it seems too large to be just a security patch.
I hope someone did not hack HTC's update servers !?
i recieved a similar message today has any one figured out whats up with this out of no where update?
my version is 2.19.401.2 which is the same installed version ..

Ecause you are rooted you .ay be able to safe the update and see if there's actually something new in there.
I am tinkering with my newly acquired U11+ and did many attempts to install a GSI and noticed the same update. The update didn't actually change anything for me as far as I can tell. Mine is a EU version with the last update: Pie, security update July 2019.
Hello,
I've changed my S22 Ultra 128/8 with 256/12GB but for some reason my new device can't find any new updates. I am stuck with S908BXXU1AVC6
My old 128GB version is fully updated to the latest S908BXXU1AVDA (Europe EUX)
The phone is bought from official mobile operator so this can't be an issue.
Can you help? thanks.
EDIT: I can see the update and do it trough Smart Switch... very strange.
Hi. I have the same issue.
I have a 256gb version on O2 UK and up until last week was still on initial firmware with January security patch. Last week I downloaded Smart Switch and there was an update waiting, I am now on the latest build for EUY csc, AVDA.
When I manually checked for updates it came back and said that I was up to date. The "Last Update" section is greyed out.
Samsung and O2 have been no help at all, both telling me contact each other.
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
I've used Smart Switch to download and install the AVDA update and I hope that the next one will be downloaded on my phone.
I am not sure but I think that the issue could be coming from the differences in the updates. My phone was shipped with the S908BXXU1AVC6 update and since I've missed the S908BXXU1AVCJ it couldn't find the 908BXXU1AVDA update but this is just a theory.
Anyway it is annoying and I hope for the next one, I will report here.
Hi, just to let you know that I was able to update to May security patch via OTA update today. All seems ok now, strange I've never encountered this issue with any other Android handset I've owned. Hope you get yours OTA with no issues
Hi, yes, I did.
Today I've received the Ota with no issues
