Can't Update! No Firmware Version In Kies??

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!

Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.

# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.

I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.

Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?

Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.

I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update

Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!

Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David

no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.

Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Yes ota means over the air.
Yep, most rom developers strip the bloatware from the firmware and put in all kinds of optimization.

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

Guys update software button is not reponding in my tab settings. Anyone got solution for that?

This one is not a US firmware so that might be the problem. This did confuse me before.

USA Galaxy Tab Plus firmware update via Kies is live

I just plugged my Tab Plus and was notified a new firmware is available. I can only guess that it's ICS since it's still updating, currently at 60%. At last!

Success flashing
I notice that the update is also available at sammobile I did flash from ICS UK to ICS US without problems, the only thing that I don't like is that the ebook app is now not available at my country (Costa Rica)

Which is US wifi only? I see Cellular South but nothing else. I had flashed the UK version but would like to use US. I tried update on the tablet and received "process failed" for the update

here for the us wifi only

If you encounter problem with stock browser after update, you have to clear data in application settings.

Is there any difference between the UK and US version?

Ohhhhh that means the update will soon hit for the P6200 model! Awesome news indeed! Can't wait for it

Not really, I notice that Readers hub was removed (That means Kobo and zinio are not installed by default) beyond that is "visually" the same, Not sure if there are some "internal" improvements, but it's just 0,07 Kb bigger than the latest ICS UK firmware

German OTA update N8000XXALI2 Is this...?

Hey guys!
Just looked over at sammobile and discovered an Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 OTA update like this Germany 11 Sep 2012 4.0.4 From N8000XXALGB To N8000XXALI2 95.1 MB
i KNOW that this is NOT the JB update but is this update similar to the N7000 Germany Update? where N7000 got a couple of new note II features like noteII gallery and so on..

Ok just went on samfirmware, didn't see the german version you mentioned, but saw a Spain version N8000XWALI2 70 MB, that needs N8000XWALG9.
Might try it out later see, if theres any goodies, but I'm doubting there is. :/

As far as I can tell, India is the only one getting the JB leak. I hear they curried favor with Samsung.

You might have a look at the ota first, see what files are touched. Though, guessing from its size, there's quite a bit of changes... But I don't expect much visible changes, probably mostly under the hood...

Checked the file integrity? Maybe the download messed it up.
Are you on unmodified stock? No system files deleted or changed?
You might have a look at the updater script, maybe there's a hint on what error 7 is trying to tell us.
Other than these, I don't really know where to look...

Just tried it, and it failed with some system files not matching (code 7). Didn't investigate further, probably flashing the prerequisite ROM would let it pass (might have a mix here).
Taking another path now, though, given that there's a bunch of OTAs today. Going for the Philippines, starting with XWALH1, OTA to XWALI2, then OTA to XXBLI2 (4.1.1!).
Thus, topic XXALI2 closed for me...

You might save yourself the trouble... The update to XXBLI2 fails for the same reason. If I got it right, it's due to different CSCs, which in some stage causes system files to be changed in a way the OTA doesn't expect... the annoying part is, that it's files that nobody cares for, but alas, unless you want to dig them all out and adjust the ota correspondingly or change your CSC, it's a no go.
Thus, back to what I had.

Yeah, it seems we both feel for it again. Doubt I can be bothered to look through it though. Think I'll just be more patient now until someone says they've managed to get something to work.

I just downloaded the LI2 OTA update from sammobile for my LH2 (DBT) (got the LH2 via Kies update). Using Odin Mobile Pro, I flashed that OTA update without problems, LI2 (DBT) is up and running fine so far. But stick to the instructions and flashing is always on your own risk.

Thanks for pointing this out to us! These ota's are new today, yesterday there was only the one starting from XXALGB, which I hadn't a clue where to get. I'll try the one corresponding to my actual rom (XXALGA) - should also work for you, KingRamo - but wanted to ask something before:
When I tried the Philippean way, I saw that SNotes turns screen brighness to FULL whenever you start editing a note. This is fatal, as I normally don't write my notes in bright sunlight... Does this also happen on the German LI2 update?

I think snote has a separate brightness setting. when you start snote it will revert to the brightness last used when running snote.

I don't see why not. The Blaze was released in March of 2012. The T989 also a Tmobile branded phone is running Jelly Bean and its older than our model. Presumably based on little differences and what nots it only makes sense for them to give the update. They are still marketing and selling the device so, yeah.(Hopefully)

Yep, shouldn't be an issue - I'll check again tonight, and like I said if no one else gets to it by the time I get my hands on it I'll post some stuff.

If I'm reading this right, the update to the new baseband is OTA if you are running non-rooted UVLH5 stock. There's nothing on samfirmware.com for this update to be available via KIES, so I would think that it's just OTA - that and it's only a 20 MB download. I'm going to go back to stock to see if this is OTA only and post my findings...
Nope. No OTA or KIES update available for me.

My interpretation of the T-Mobile info was that it was either - but you are right that it's not available via KIES currently so I could be wrong lol! No OTA has been pushed to the wifes phone yet, but that doesn't mean much for others of course.

Might be great if you could supply use information, you gave none.
What model device do you have, what version of Android, what's the update number then maybe you will get replies

The most recent, known update simply added the 'Birthday' card template to S-Note. (Scroll down to bottom when creating a note), changed Polaris Office a little (reportedly), and just very minor stuff.

I must admit that without Kies this table is impossible to do an OTA update.

what are you talking about? Mine updates fine over wifi.

What he is talking about is the fact it keeps saying to wait in line to update OTA and it can take days if at all, whereas through kies it is fast and easy. About the only thing kies is good for .

Just updated and installed small update on my 8013. It said it was for stability and speed improvements. Build also changed to ending in MC2
