Hi...checked out the answers and they don't seem to answer my question, so here goes....i have a 7.7 galaxy tab purchased in UK but now in Saudi Arabia...it's running Android 3.2...i've been told, if i was still in the UK it would have upgraded by now to ICS but as i'm not i have to upgrade via Kies...i downloaded Kies to my laptop and awaited for the ICS install package but couldn't find it. I tried looking for updates but it says i have the latest....is there anything else i can do to get ICS.....i guess when i return to the UK it may upgrade...i don't know but there must be a way now....thanks for all your help...from a newbie...Mike
the ICS update for UK is not release... yet... so if you are waiting for the official UK firmware... you need to wait more... currently there is Austria,HK,India,China and Asia release.

Never been a real fan of Kies. Mobil ODIN is the way I have found to be almost "idiot-proof". Actually it almost won't let you do bad things like re-partition! Has Everroot so you can flash and inject root saving re-rooting.
Actually you need not wait from region-specific firmware. I flashed the Austrian ICS firmware and it runs beautifully!

What is this Odin...will it mess with my o/s...i like my tab the way it is....what does Odin do? Can someone explain please...thanks..Mike
Mike..Odin is a program that you use to 'flash' your software (HC, ICS) up-grades yourself, instead of waiting for the OTA (over the air) or via Kies.
There's PC Odin which is a windows based PC program and there's Mobile Odin which installs to your phone via Google Play Store.
You say that you are happy with your tab just the way it is...??..??
If so... then dont worry about up-dating your tabs software.
good luck...
ICS for Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Singapore and using it in India.

Hi,
I had purchased a Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Singapore and I have been using it in India ever since. I have been hearing that the official ICS is out and is available through KIES, but I have tried several times and it still shows Gingerbread as the latest firmware available. Also contacted Samsung support but they are unable to help . Please suggest what do I do ?
Cheers

I'm in Dubai, no update here either...
This is why I MANUALLY installed the rom here in XDA Developers & installed ICS myself. If you wait for Samsung you'll wait forever.
Best to download it yourself & install.

i am in Algeria and i have a Hong Kong galaxy tab 7.7, av got the update on Kies but i won't use it, ics still has some issues, am waiting for a stable version enchalah.
if you want it so bad, look into the development section, you will find how to update your tab to the latest version of ics, which is the Indian.

Thanks
So its better to flash my tab better than waiting ? and i use the Indian firmware ?
will i be able to still use my Tablet as a phone like put my simcard in it and everything ?
yes you can use it just like you did when you were on honeycomb, but!
1 there is issues on ics, read about it before flashing! if you don't mind... well, next >
2 there is a big problem with ics which is the brick after a wipe! read about it, if you're ok >
3 the modem included in the Indian firmware may work or not work correctly in your hometown
good luck

Yes, better to flash your tab rather than wait months for Samsung to release the update for your country...
If using the Indian Firmware gives you Arabic language then go ahead & use it...
You can use your tab just like a phone by inserting your sim into it...
what so called hard brich is also within HC too! the fix for this is available in the forum just search for it > upgrade to ICS the austrian latest rom is working in good order except for wifi.. get wifi extender and connect through it .it's the best solution i've used so far .. actually the official roms are less bugs than the modified ones .
now u said the word " Brick "
im afraid of doing it because i jsut go the device i dont want to brick it X_X!!
i hate HC its slow and laggy X_X
i'll guess i'll just wait for the official release :<
Malaysia
India
Thailand
Philippines
ICS are all out for them
Damn Samsung is SLOW on update s
Iam flashing my device and every thing is ok you can flash it by odin and then flash cwm to wipe data without the bug if you need to wipe
And i think there is no need to wipe your device

hello mates,
i have an issue with samsung kies, i'm trying to update my skyrocket's firmware from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 and when i connect it via USB, kies recognizes it perfectly, the problem comes when it says the following: ''your device does not support software upgrading via Kies'', theres a picture on attachments showing what i'm saying.
does anybody has a fix for this? i really want to upgrade to see if i can use instagram, because the application crashes when i attemp to upload a picture.
thanks.

I think your going to need to use odin to flash to 4.0.4 because that firmware was a leaked build aka not supported. I can't find it right now but I think there was a one click odin for the final version(if you want to stay stock).

hello and thanks for the reply, i want to stay in stock version, mine is not even rooted, i just need to upgrade because that instagram issue is pissing me off, but i saw some people upgrading to 4.0.4 via Kies, so what's going on here?
oh by the way, is there a 4.0.4 official version for skyrocket? or it isn't out yet, because my friend just upgraded his atrix 2 to that version.
I have the official 4.0.4 version on my skyrocket.

The problem is you upgraded to a leaked release at some point. If you were on a official version you could have used Kies to upgrade to 4.0.4.
I think your best bet now is to flash I727UCLF6 with odin. that's the official version that Kies would put on your phone.

Hi,
bought my N8010 last week in Switzerland. There is no OTA upadate, nor from kies for JB. Does anybody know when or if it is coming? Could I root my tablet to intall it manually?

I'm in the USA and got a N8010 from canada.It showed a software update immediately but of course it didn't work.I think the device gets confused when it leaves the designated country even though it is eligable for the update.Follow this guide and you will have the JB XXBLK9 update in no time.I don't know how OTA's work for a device out of it's country code but I think it may have to be done like this every time.Very easy to do,just check the forums when you know there may be a new update.Take Care

Yeah I thought uk got JB back in January, those specs are from the settings/about device aren't they? Did kies update, I just noticed that when I updated kits had to update first maybe there's something else stopping it? Don't maybe some one else might have a better idea.
You have no update then ask the seller when they will update.
Or join XDA users and flash latest stock JB rom via Odin.
