I've seen a lot of discussion on the forums about JB for the Note 10.1 but I can't find the update anywhere. I've checked with Kies and the updated on the device itself and apparently, I'm using the newest version of Android (4.0.4). Is JB a custom ROM for it or is it official? I've seem some tech sites reporting the Note 10.1 is getting JB but I've seen nothing of it yet. Or is it some stupid region restriction thing?
It's not out yet. The one everyone is installing is the german update. To get it you need to install the german ice cream sandwich rom via odin, then install the german update onto the ext sd card and update via the recovery menu.

That seems like a lot of hassle for JB. I think i'll wait for it. Any news as to when it's going to be released?
Some people have reported it on Kies, but trying to track down a Samsung update is like hunting for the lesser spotted golden haggis in the wilds of Scotland.......I think BOTH were last seen riding the back of the loch ness monster

I updated my tf101 when the ICS update was released using an all in one CWM zip. It is now telling me that there is a firmware update available. Was there another update released after the main ICS update? I am planning on flashing AOKP, do I need to update first?
I am currently on build number IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.11-20120221.
Looks like I'm looking for 9.2.1.17, will try flashing that first. Sorry for jumping the gun on the question, let me know if there is something newer.
Even after updating to 9.2.1.17 it still says there is firmware update avaiable, any ideas why?
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...

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

Hello i have a i535 Galaxy s3, with 4.1.1 jelly bean, and i want to update to 4.1.2 right now but it doesn't allow OTA updates right now, i have clockwork recovery mod installed and i am rooted right now, could anyone help me guide how to update to 4.1.2? also would i lose all my apps/settings/data?
Also i did try updating from samsung Kies but it said it did not support a update. but i did manage to backup my data/settings from samsung kies.
Sorry im kinda a noob with this stuff, i'd need a full guide to updating if that's possible, i rooted it myself by following a youtube video and it has worked well since.
Thanks
You can't update because you are rooted.

so what can i do so i have the latest jelly bean?
You can flash the ota in the bonus files section of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
If that doesn't work, you will need to Odin back to pure 4.1.1 stock then take the official ota that way

If you are looking for the latest JB, and you're rooted, why not install a 4.2.2? There are tons of awesome ROM's out there.

i'm just not very educated in flashing roms and such, but if theres a good guide for a 4.2.2 update i'd be happy to go to that. But id like to keep my applications/data somehow (i have backed them up on samsung kies and i've learned how to make a full backup on clockwork recovery) i'd just rather not re-download all my applications.

There is no 4.2 update released for this phone yet. What Mr. CJ meant was that there are AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs out. The Android OS is currently on version 4.2.2 but not every smartphone has it officially.

ah well, id like to stick to whatever the official update is out right now, for the i535 which appears to be the 4.1.2 jelly bean, is it worth really updating from 4.1.1?
Hey Guys,
yesterday I needed to unbrick my device. I took the uploaded stock from this thread . It's an US stock 4.2.2 firmware but I got a huge update via Kies after flashing. And now guess! Yeah I'm on absolutely official KitKat 4.4.2 . I'm from germany and tested one another right before matching to my location, just to check but it's not available here (yet).
Yeah Its out for a while
@NeoPreacher & @LegendSmoker
It is true KK is an old story. But still I find interesting what NeoPreacher is saying.
One he may be telling others that even when you could be in a region without an update yet that if you install a US/Canada version you can get the Kies upgrade. Now this is not that important to me.
But I am understanding that when he said "I needed to unbrick my device" that he has some sort of a MOD Rom! Is this true? So then I find interesting that by uploading the file he mention he got Kies to upgrade him. I was in the confusion that once you mod your firmware you could not get OTA nor Kies to upgrade you. So @neopreache could you confirmed that you had tested any of the posted Roms here or had Custom Recovery or Roorted your device previous of recovering with kies? Thanks
Yes I tested some other stuff posted in dev section. But I did something very wrong so I needed Odin to unbrick.I own my tab just for a few days, so it was more a playing around than knowing what to do.I often read about an unstable 4.2.2 stock, so I thought it might be interesting for people in regions out of north America to see that there is another possibility to stay on official stock and get an update for their machines.
Hi
I have a UK Wifi Xoom MZ604 and was wondering what the latest official Android version is? I am currently on 4.0.4 but seem to recall some UK Xoom users getting OTA updates to newer versions than that. My Xoom has not been modded, rooted etc in any way, but I've never received any further OTA update notification.
It was suggested somewhere that I reload the original stock firmware and go through the OTA process again to get the latest release, but after doing this I'm just back to 4.0.4 and seemingly going no further. I would like to get to 4.1.x as my wife watches alot of Demand 5/My5 which isn't supported on 4.0.4. I don't really want to go the root/custom ROM route as some of the apps that we use on the tablet don't run on rooted devices (All4, I'm looking at you).
So was there ever a UK OTA update beyond 4.0.4? Or am I stuck with it? Or any other suggestions?
Cheers!

Only for the MZ604 US version 4.1.x JB in OTS not yours.
It's stupid but like this.
If you flash your xoom with the stock HWI69 (android 3.0) your tab upgrade in OTA to 4.1

Thanks, I came to this conclusion and flashed HWI69 the other night. Pretty simple to do, now OTA'd up to 4.1
