What Android version should my 7.7 be on?

I bought a P6800 in Kazakhstan. I have no idea which region it originally came from - its in a bog standard Samsung pack with English documentation and no regional labels or languages evident.
The P6800 is on Android 3.2.
I have tried to make it update software (by wifi and 3G) in Kazakhstan, Russia, UK, Denmark & Spain so far.
Each time, after the "connecting to server" dialogue, it returns "no update available".
KIES/internet doesn't indicate an available update either.
Any idea what Android it should be updating to, and/or if there is any region specific issue?
This is the data listed under "about device":
Baseband version:
P6800XXLA3
Kernel version:
2.6.36-P6800XXLA4-CL616407

if i'm not mistaken... its either from portugal or rusia firmware...
anyway you can download the latest firmware which is Ice Cream Sandwich from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469635
and learn how to update your device via Odin software.
oh... one more thing... you can actually use any region firmware on your device

Update availability is determined by csc code not by country you attempt to update from. You can always update via odin if you want ICS and it isn't available for your tablet, there are plenty of guides around on how to do this just search the forums.
If you want to check your csc open phone app and dial *#1234#

The *#1234# does not work; gives "connection problem of invalid MMI code" (the phone app works fine otherwise)
Kies reports: "your device does not support software upgrading via Kies".
Kies shows the firmware version as: PDA:LA4 / PHONE:LA3 / CSC:KL1 (XSG)
Seems strange that there is no official Samsung way to update other than by using a third-party app such as Odin.

your CSC is XSG = United Arab Emirates...
Kies can only upgrade via region... as the smart software detected that you are not in the support region... that's why it report you dont have any software update.
so go and read my last post and download the firmware from that site and use odin to update...
btw... odin is not a 3rd party software... it is a maintenance software leak by samsung staff.
Code:
Odin was software that was first leaked back a couple years ago from Samsung. Samsung uses or used it to "flash" or "install" firmware/os/kernels/radio's onto the devices. Samsung still uses it or a form of it in certain releases as a Window's Upgrade Tool as its been known. Its still basically old Odin underneath a custom Window's UI skin.

Better stick to Honeycomb...
I made the mistake to update my P6800 to ICS with the result that I have endless troubles with WiFi now. I contacted the local Samsung Service Center and on monday I will be there to downgrade again and get back usable WiFi again. Looks like Samsung is not willing to fix the broken WiFi Stack in ICS on the Tab 7.7...

you can use ics but using HC modem files... you need to extract modem.bin files from HC firmware and flash it with odin.

No wifi probs for me on ICS

Me either. You are better off giving ICS a try, the performance improvement alone is worthwhile. If you happen to have wifi problems you can always downgrade to HC.

G955f ota update

Hello, I have a problem with my SGS8 + (G955F), unfortunately I'm not the first owner ... I have FW 7.0 (G955FXXU1AQDD) .. and I did not get any OTA updates, manual check: The system is up to date. When I check sammobile 8.0 is for all countries.
Does anyone have a similar problem? My cellphone is not branding. Is some way to fix without using odin?
Thanks for any information and answer

Update firmware using ODIN

Hi folks,
I'm using SM-G950FD. I have not received software updates in recent time. I'm still having August security patch but when I checked in Sam mobile according to my region, October update is out. Therefore, I thought of updating the firmware using ODIN. But I'm having certain doubts as following;
How to select the correct region and firmware from Sam mobiles? (I live in Sri Lanka but should I install firmware according to the country or if not how?)
Are there any alternatives to Sam mobile because the downloading speed limit is considerably slow.
Please help me to proceed further. Thanks in advance.

Help Needed Regarding Updates.

Hi Everyone.
I'm currently using a refubrished Galaxy S8 plus, the model is SM-G955U.
As you can guess this is a phone destined for the USA market but currently I'm using it in Bangladesh which is in another continent.
As a result i didn't receive any updates after purchasing the phone and whenever i try to download update manually it says, "Registration Failed"
Can anyone help me to update my phone? I have attached screenshots in which you can see the current software version of the device.
Also if updating to official Samsung software isn't possible then can anyone suggest me custom ROMs for this model!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You should get updates automatically irrespective of your location. Try the site https://firmware.science/ and select your phone and firmware version and follow the instructions .

Failed registration may be because of the fact you aren't using a US SIM card.
U models also.. don't have much custom ROM abilities. It's a locked Snapdragon. You can use firmware sites to be able to download updates respective of the model number.
