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 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.
I just recently managed to wipe my TF when I was rooting it, and had to go back to the stock firmware from the ASUS site.
The ASUS site only has the HC3.1 firmware on there and it's dated 7/25/2011. However, I know that when I got my Transformer 2 days ago, that it updated by it's self to HC3.2 the second it got an internet connection.
Now, when I got to look for an update in the "About Tablet" tab in settings, it says there are no updates available, even though my tablet is only on 3.1.
Did they pull the latest update?
3.2 has not been posted on Asus's site yet. It is only available via Over The Air...
And, after rooting mine (3.1) and restoring to stock I also do not get the 3.2 availability message.
I think that I will have to wait for Asus to post it.
Ah okay, that explains the website.
However, is there a reason my Transformer wouldn't be picking up on the update even though I'm on the official stock ROM?
from what i have observed, once you update, you will no longer get the update back by ota.
it must be a type of monitoring they have with the serial; number maybe.
when i received my tab(2 weeks back), i updated to .11 too and rooted. however upon unrooting and going back to the 8.4.4.5 version, i never got back the .11 ota. Yesterday i got the 3.2 ota directly. this what made me to come to the conclusion stated above.
That makes perfect sense, thanks.
I suppose I was going to root for Netflix anyway!

I noticed the same thing on mine. I updated, tried to root, bricked it, nvflashed back, and I haven't gotten the OTA again since. Thankfully there are other ways to upgrade.
To update from kies, do i need to be unrooted (running stock rooted)... If so, how do you unroot GT 3113??

Nope, you don't have to do anything. Just connect your tab via usb cable and run Kies. If a FW update is available you will be notified as soon as the Kies start...

bro no matter rooted or unrooted when connected to kies it will show update if available.and disconnection problem is with most of tab 2 user.so there are two ways wait for fota or go to service center and get tab updated.
I've tried to update my rooted P3113 from wifi download, not by KIES.
No success! It must be because of the CWM recovery installed, since the tab automatically boots to recovery after downloading updates from samsung. I think the samsung official update scenario stucks at this point (because there is no standart android recovery after CWM installed).
When i'm trying to update rooted P3113 from KIES - no success too, because of "disconnection" problem.
So, we waiting for the stock 4.0.4 rom file for CWM recovery.
Root or unrooted doesn't matter. My tablet is stock and never rooted and Kies was still messing up. Luckily I finally got the OTA this morning.
When I checked for update from my device. It says no update is available. How to get the update?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 that was rooted and the other day when I turned it on it started updating my tablet. However, the update failed. Probably because I was rooted. So I unrooted the tablet and every time I check for updates it says there are NO updates. I installed Kies on Windows and (after connecting to it with the GTab2 7) it shows me that there IS an update for it. However, every time I click on update it disconnects after a few seconds and and goes back to the initial screen saying there is an update.
So, I can't install it via Kies. And now I when I check for updates it says there are NO updates. Am I totally screwed OR what.
When the update failed, I think when it rebooted to install it THAT it came up to CWM and that is why it failed BUT now CWM is gone and I am definitely NOT rooted with stock ROM on the machine.
However, I see in the settings under STATUS that is shows "modified" instead of "normal".
Is there any way to reset the status? Or is it necessary?

You don't need to unroot, just flash 4.0.4 firmware with odin as i described in this topic
Download firmware from http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
You will have unrooted stock firmware after flash complete. And after that you install cwm and root just as you did with 4.0.3
One way is to just flash it in Odin.
I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645295
This seems to be a pretty foolproof "restock" method.
The only UNROOT method that worked for me!

The only METHOD that UNROOTED my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 was the instructions at this web site :
http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-tab-2-7-0-p3113-root-clockworkmod-recovery-96474/
It's a 2 step process. I tried several other places that had similar instructions BUT this one worked. You have to download several files and the recovery rom file has 2 different versions and you choose the one that is appropriate for your situation. I was NOT sure which was appropriate so I tried both and it finally worked.
And it DOES unroot it.
And later that night JUST after midnight I was AGAIN notified on my GT2 7 that I had an update. This time it downloaded the 200+ mb file and rebooted and came up and installed it perfectly!
And every thing is working well now and I am on 4.04. It is SO much smoother than 4.03. A real keeper until Jelly Bean comes available.

Ha ha well I should have read this thread before I did a factory reset and installed kies on like 5 computers. Come on samsung.

The samsung-updates.com link does not work.
Please give link to any working GT-P3113 firmware download please.
I have been anxiously waiting for asus to post the jb firmware (us tf300t). I found it today, but now realize if i flash it manually i lose my root, backed up with voodoo and superSU or not. I then was reading about this dlpkgfile thing. Am i understanding this correctly?
It is the file that gets downloaded from asus when you check for an OTA, or when an OTA is pushed to your device
It then reboots, and uses the file to update the device.
It does not make u lose root?
So theoretically, I should be able to put it in /cache/directory and then`reboot my tab and it should start updating right? I know i need to make sure i get US version, backup root, etc. But will this work how I am thinking it will?
Oh and, I am not sure why my ota failed in the first place, i think i might have uninstalled a system app by accident without thinking. I am just plain rooted stock, NOT unlocked. I had also run the firmware for ics from asus website yesterday to get all the stock stuff back on my tab, then rerooted, and am waiting for JB update now
I have a Galaxy 7.7 6810 (originally purchased from Hong Kong) and a few weeks ago, I tried to go from ICS 4.0.3 to Jellybean using OTA. Unfortunately, I had forgotten that I was rooted and the OTA would not install. I then tried using Odin to flash Bodivas 4.1.2 and totally screwed up. Odin would not complete the installation - stuck somewhere in the process and I couldn't figure out how to safely get out. Soft brick! I finally (several days later) managed to get back to stock 3.2 using Odin 3 version 1.85. I ended up with build "HTJ85B P6810XXLB4, which seems to work just fine, but now I would like to get back up to JB. I was hoping that I could do OTA, as I'm not rooted right now, but I can't get past the registration page from Samsung. It asks for my country and by now I've tried many of the countries on the list and always get the message "Registration failed." The problem must be due to my build version.
Any suggestions for what I need to do in order to get Samsung to recognize my 6810 so that I can get the OTA update? I'm reluctant to try Odin again because of what happened last time, although I guess I can root and then try Mobile Odin this time around.
Sorry this is so long.
