Hello I am looking to get the 7.7 tab but then I noticed this one is almost 2 years old now. I want it to work on the Verizon network like this does. I have searched all over and cannot find anywhere that says if Samsung will be releasing an updated version. Does anyone possibly know?
The only model thus far with JB released is the P6800 (SEA firmware). It's been sadly 2 months since, and no other model, including my P6810 has a JB update (for any region). Many are losing hope....
But to answer your question directly, I have not seen any information anywhere for JB update for any model except P6800. I search on almost a daily basis. No one knows.

Yeah, it does seem like you are in for a long wait for an official update from Samsung for a Verizon 7.7.
It would appear your best bet would be to install a customs ROM for Jellybean.
I'd recommend this one and you may wish to read up on it to determine if the update would work on the device on the Verizon network. I believe it does.

Good news for some Canadian Samsung Galaxy owners today. I just received an email that Samsung and respective carriers will start to push out the long awaited upgrade to Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich today. Samsung stated that “the upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.” There’s no word on which carriers or devices will be getting ICS today, just a confirmed list of devices, including various smartphone and tablets. We’ve reached out to Samsung for a bit more clarity, but they do note that “The availability and scheduling of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer.”
Here’s the complete list of devices that will be graced with Android OS 4.0:
- GALAXY S II
- GALAXY S II LTE
- GALAXY S II LTE HD
- GALAXY S II X
- GALAXY Note
- GALAXY Tab 7.0
- GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
- GALAXY Tab 8.9
- GALAXY Tab 10.1

That is a very odd statement for alleged updated that are landing "today" with no details on which devices are being updated "today".
We would have at least expect them to say which devices are starting the roll out today and which are "coming soon".
Is the P6200 being sold in Canada or is it the Wifi P6210?
I think its just the 6210.
the best good news!
well, at least we are getting some "roll".. though the "soon" is still there, it's stil a much better news than before.
What doesn't sit well with me though is that it has Galaxy Tab 7.0 in the list. I thought the regular 7.0 wasn't getting the update or am I terribly mistaken?
Update: We’ve heard back from Samsung and it looks like the rollout will start later this week: “The ICS update will be available this week and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.”

I agree. It was always pretty clear that the original Tab's hardware would keep it out of the running for an official upgrade to ICS (or so said Samsung). Something seems not quite right here.
By the way, at my local Best Buy, as of last weekend, all the Samsung tablets are on clearance.
But the update is rolling out:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/30/samsung-canada-ics-touchwiz-rollout/
Ah that is a bit more definitive that something is happening. Guess that is good news in general though.
No updates available as yet.
My build is Canadian: P6210XXLb2
If I can't update, which stock ROM do you guys suggest I install before trying update? Screenshot of "about device" attached. Thx.

That's probably the 7.7. The GTab 7.0 was never on any of the lists for upgrade I've seen.
Not to ruin the party, but they will probably start with updating the Galaxy S II (like they did in Europe) and then slowly, through the end of quarter add additional devices.
If you read the press release closely that's what it probably means.
Don't expect to see an update before the European unlocked (of Hong Kong) version get it.

-galaxy TAB 7 (P1000 2010 VERSION) = ICS will not released (maybe a ginger value pack)
-galaxy TAB 7.7 (P6800) = ICS will be released (probably te last on the list...)
Where are the custom ROMS?????
I like ANDROID stock ROMS like Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS , but how about the custom roms for this device?? I do not know what happen to the developers of the devices to build a nice one. I have installed at least 20 different custom ROMS for my SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE smarthphone, but I only found a custom Rom for the galaxy tab plus that is called OMGBQROM. Where is the cyanongemod 7 or MIUI Roms????? That is a pity because this device is excellent for a person who wants to carry it into a pocket or small bag.
Oh god, so excited! When will this come in europe then? Anybody know that?

Ok so i have the Galaxy
S2 skyrocket for att and i realize other people have this phone (outside att) and they say the ics update is already available and in att.com its available for the Samsung Galaxy S2 (first one launched), when i connect my phone to Samsung Kies on my PC it says that the phone does not support updating via kies.. i was wondering when the update would be available for the phone and how in att cause damn its the second best phone of samsung in ATT ><
We don't know exactly when the official date it, it was speculated around the end of this month and some say maybe a different month.
We did get a recent leak from Design Gears on a later build of ICS which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719432 Thats the closest ICS stock you will get to with it being ATT (has ATT bloat :good: ).
Other options if you want to have ICS on the phone is getting a custom ROM based on ICS and there is plenty on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1383 (SKY ICS is a favorite one)
There is also other ones that have no bloat but are still in testing such as CM9 (what I currently use) and AOKP which recently got an official for Skyrocket.
http://get.cm/?device=skyrocket (CM9)
http://aokp.co/index.php/news (AOKP) (Unicorns anyone? :silly: )
But to answer your question. Samsung Galaxy SII has official ICS release while Skyrocket is still on the waiting list.

Has samsung released when they are planning on releasing the ICS update for the wifi version? Or is it possible to make an ICS rom for p6210 from what they have released?
Best to wait for an official release. From what I've seen, there is a lot of bugginess in the current CM9 builds. It can't be too far off now.
...I hope

There has not been any specific date announced for Samsung's US 6210 release. Apparently at least one UK user has it already.
CM9 is really close. WIFI should be working now.
Samsung US is the slowest of the slow
It always takes Samsung US the longest to release updates. They are horrifically slow so just hang in there. A concept Samsung (overall) has never grasped is that these user forums do not differentiate between the the different country models when they create a forum for a device (which the forums shouldn't have to do anyway). The problem that Samsung seems oblivious to is that if you perform upgrades to the devices for Asian countries but neglect to do so for Europe or the United States in any type of timely matter, it just creates very ill will on the parts of the world that they seem to be ignoring. It becomes a case of the "have's" and the "have not's". Unfortunately the upper management at Samsung are "have not's" when it comes to brains and I doubt they will ever figure out that they give the appearance of screwing over some of their customers. This is not to say that the P6210 will not get its upgrade. I am sure it will. You just have to wait for the incredibly slow and somewhat brain dead people at Samsung. Isn't their company motto...."We love your money, we could just care-a-less about you?

Where did you read that a UK user has it already? I'm in the UK and my P6210 is decidedly un-ICSed!

Really? Its not even that big a deal. If you are going to lose your cool, just Odin the stock firmware that has been posted. The stock ICS experience is awesome.
yep... used Odin to put on posted firmware and this thing is NICE now
finally it matches the experience of my phone (galaxy nexus on 4.x)
As of today Samsung has started rolling the 4.2.2 update for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. They also started to update the Galaxy S2 Plus.
It seems they actually do intend to upgrade most of the dual core Galaxy devices to 4.2.2.
Hopefully this indicates that an update is coming for our devices in the near future.
Our hardware is for sure more powerful then what is found in the Tab 2 so we will be able to call bulls**t if Samsung decides to not release 4.2.2 for our tab ... not that this will make things better in any imaginable way.

The Tab2 usually gets things about 3 - 4 months ahead of the P62xx series. Rumors have been flying that Samsung might skip 4.2.2 and go straight to 4.3 updates. We will see. Not a lot of visible changes in 4.2.2 or 4.3, but some nice bug fixes and behind the scenes improvements.
At the moment Samsung has yet to release 4.1.2 fully for the P6210 and its somewhat disconcerting that they appear to have removed the UK 4.1.2 ROM for the P6210 from KIES.

Because the tab 2 has 3,000,000 users and we, the 7 Plus crowd, have about 150. That's why.....
When I had to call Samsung for something a while ago I asked about the new update schedule and the rep told me that they're not updating past jellybean for our tablet. Hopefully that lady was just a regular rep who only knows about as much as we do but it still surprised me when she said it so matter of factly. Has anyone seen an official Samsung update schedule posted anywhere like they had when they were first getting ready for the ics updates? Now that i think of it I don't remember seeing one for the jellybean updates, at least not with our device in the list.
This might be a dumb question but Has the official update for 4.1.2 came out for U.S. yet?

Since Goggle hasn't announced anything past Jelly Bean how could any vendors announce anything about something that doesn't exist?
There is no official US P6210 4.1.2 yet, but the official UK version works fine on the US model.
Samsung might skip 4.2.2 and go straight to JB 4.3 but there are no visible to the user changes in 4.3 so I don;t know if it makes any difference.
I have been relatively happy running on Stock Rooted 4.1.2 on my (2012) Verizon GN 10.1 (SCH-i925) for a while now. This device, unfortunately didn't get much love due to the very few people that bought it. After having a couple of Verizon LTE tablets I've about decided it's not worth buying from Verizon since you get almost completely different hardware from the rest of the world. In any case I digress.
What I want to know with 4.3 or is it 4.4 for these tablets showing up is anyone working on a stock rom higher than 4.1.x? I like CM and all that for about anything except a Note tablet. Unless something's changed since last time I looked for this there is no way to get the samsung features and frameworks in there to do multi screen etc on the CM roms right? Anyone out there still wanting to breathe some more life into these VZW tablets now that the new ones are out?

Just curious, but how did you get it rooted? There is no known Root method on 4.1.2, at least that I know of.
It's been quite a while but if I'm not mistaken I was on an earlier version and then there was some upgrade path to keep root. Found it here on xda
