I think you must root it again, when you flash a official ROM.

Android 4.1 update to GT-P3100 in Spain?
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain, running stock Android 4.0.3 plus CF-Auto-Root.
I understand that Android 4.1 has been available for sometime across Europe .. but the Software Update button in Settings says that no update is available for my device, nor does Kies find any update.
What's the path to get Android 4.1 on a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain?
And, is there anything special to do/ avoid/ know about applying the 4.1 update to a CF-Auto-Root'ed device?
Thanks,
-Jay

Your country???
And to update you can use kies(if not rooted)
Else if rooted my suggestion would be go to samfirmware download latest version for your location and flash via odin.

Dude, wait for it to be available in the philippines.
I already tried JB but a bit buggy that why i reverted back to ICS.
And so far my choice is right.
Also not all apps works on JB yet.
Be patient or try some JB custom rom.
Thats what xda for, to give us what those gadget companies denies.

Same thing here in Portugal: P3100 8GiB Wifi only and no JB update... Tried Kies and still got the message that no new Firmware available...
I always use English UK on my device, identify myself as UK in Google account, used a Proxy for UK ip and still no go...
Does anyone knows if Samsung is not giving JB to the 8GiB WiFi version of P3100??? (if that's so i'm gonna root and flash)...
Lets just hope they release that much awaited JB but i think its gonna take a while since their still releasing gadget in ICS mode, IMO they are more focused on the Note family.

Getting OTA updates after Rooting

Well, this is My 1st post around
I got N8013 that have been rooted with CWM and flashed the rom with 4.1.1 Jellybean , since then I cant get the OTA updates
and the device is lagging wihile typing on S-NOTE app
any Suggest how to recover the tap to original statue to get OTA updates ? that may fix the S-Note problem
You could try 're-flashing' using Odin with the stock firmware downloaded from Samfirmware.
You might have to do a factory reset as well.
There is no OTA update available yet for the N8013
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
You will not get any OTA bec you have flashed a rom that does not belongs to your region so that wont work
No JB update for 8013 so just stick to what u are on and when the update is out just install that and your ota will start working
I have the update available on a stock 4.0.4 android gt n8013.
Had rooted through exynos without using the patch.
Device status is 'normal'. Can i just do OTA?
Regards,
Deborah

Samsung official updates are not via Odin either Kies or OTA or both .
Root and or wrong CSC is liable to block OTA update .
CSC changer wipes the phone .

I don't believe you can OTA if your csc and firmware don't match up. if you flash the correct firmware for the region that you tablet came with originally you may be able to OTA. I flashed the German 4.1.1 onto my 8013. I went back to the original ICS for my model and was unable to OTA, but was able to update to 4.1.2 successfully through KIES. my system status was custom tho .
Any update requires the codes to match firmware on the server .

Just root it, and install a custom rom. I find it much more reliable to myself being responsible to update my phone, rather than relying on samsung or your carrier.

Thank you for your tip but really I have a bad experience with rooting from my old motorola razr to xoom ( lag, freezing, etc) :/

I checked at sammobile.com for the UK 4.1.1 firmware under info you can see the pda and the csc of each firmware I checked my tablet also and they are the same as uk
That mean they match and I can recieve ota ?

Hi, my device info that i can see on my phone is,
Model number : SCH-I535
Version : 4.0.4
Baseband Version : I535VRLHE
To play one of japanese game, I have changed my build.prop to galaxy nexus, and I changed them back to verizon galaxy s3 (above info) today in order to update to 4.1.1 (jelly bean i guess)
Whenever I try to update to latest version through "device info -> software update", I see a update failed message.
Can I get any helps? I have searched for a while, but couldn't really find any related issue
thanks in advance
Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

I believe so, yes. If I remember right. kies was able to update my wife's. Give it a try!
ok. I will try using my sis' laptop to get kies and download ICS. thank you
Edit: she has a macbook with kies 3 for her gs5, and it just didn't show the firmware no or something… is there a way to root it without computer? I am on 2.3.6 gingerbread UVLF5 and tried other root apps and dint work. I don't wanna use odin
