I get same message in Kies with Windows 7 x64.

Just in case you don't know, that's not how you update the firmware guys. As far as I know it's how you restore a dead or bricked device to the condition that it was shipped in.
Hopefully, the reason it's failing is that your tablet is not dead yet.

Thanks.
I never updated with kies, i used OTA one time then odin to put jb and root for a wile, then i got back to stock (when jb for my region arrived). My tablet is fine, binary counter is 0, staus official. For some reason kies sees the tablet as BGL instead of COA (region).

Why can't it be updated via kies? I thought it was for any samsung devices. Only phones can?

The screenshot shows a message that the Tablet does not support initialisation. Hence my statement that initialising the device is not updating the firmware. Kies can update the device. I prefer to use Odin however

Yeah I see that but kies is crappy. I've gotten that message with my phone and after reinstalling kies it worked.

I was able to update my 8013 today. I had to reinstall kies to get it to work. It seems that if you use one device with kies it doesn't want to work with another. I have had this problem before using different phones. Kies is garbage. Odin is easier if you haven't already got it to work yet

When I was on Nexus S , the ICS 4.0.3 OTA was around 128mb size (sure skyrocket ICS would be bigger), which is big file size for an OTA (I installed it using fastboot and CWM recovery) so when it will come for the skyrocket it would be difficult to do from just the phone itself...

Everything is stock un-touched !!! just got the SR a week ago , no mods (and no custom recovery what so ever)...and just updated OTA 2.3.6 yesterday
It's fine, don't worry about it

4.0.4 is not ota. Use kies, if you can get it to work, or Odin it.

I have the same problem running the rogers ics rom and can't update to rogers jb.
Do i have to have stock recovery or do i have to update keis to 2.5.2.13021_10?
If a stock recovery is the issue, is there a flashable zip of stock recovery :3
You need a stock recovery for kies to update yes. Sometimes to get it to recognize you need to have kies troubleshoot drivers.

For stock recovery you'd have to odin back to stock rom.

Odin all the way...kies is a stupid software

Finally it ICS official on Tab 7 plus GT-P6200

Some screen shot.
evrything work.
wow, from which region? update from kies?
everything is OK...Open Austria LQ1
no root with Mobile Odin Pro
Any idea if this has the famous emmc bricked bug that is found on gs2 and gnote?

@fatbuccha
This is an official release not a leaked ROM as the buggy XXLQ5, if you look at Sammobile the fault GS2 ROM is marked with red alert :
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=-1#modelsa
Do they not release updates for the same device in every country at once, or is it all staggered?
when the rOOT?
There are 2 files in zip. Where do I put them in odin (I've done it via odin before on phones but there were 4 files)?
just dropping by to say WooooHooo!
and also Jelly Bean AOSP just released as well.
now all we need source code from Samsung.
6200L
will it work also on 6200L?
i hope the root file will come soon. i already try this ROM.
and i hope custom ROM like aorth's will be developed more for better battery and performance.

Nice, I've got 775 MB now on HC.
I was worried it will be less coz I think I saw 6xx on Tab 2.
Nothing for P6210?

Google "how to root galaxy tab 3 8.0". Make sure it's the right carrier and model number (in settings>about).
Cyanogenmod is essentially a new operating system for your phone.

If you have odin on the laptop, yes. Lite version should be just fine, remember to check install drivers if it asks you. Also, one issue I had with my tablet is that it was still installing the drivers .

Galaxy tab 2 install question.

I just got a galaxy tab 2 7" and was wondering do I have to have a computer to update to a higher version of the android operating system. Now it's 4.0.1 I believe. Thanks for any help and also is there anything I can download that doesn't need a computer?

Not necessarily but it always helps. One choice to use is mobile Odin from Chainfire. Make sure you read before you try to use it however

Thanks for the reply I read some of the attached thread and it said the device must be rooted. The tab is not rooted. I don't have a pc to root the tablet.
You should have an over the air (OTA) update available to either 4.1 or 4.2.2.
Just go into settings>About device>Software Update

The last post makes a good point you should have an ota available. The latest version is 4.2.2

I checked it and it is 4.1.2. If I want to update it to the latest is there an ota version or do I have to do it on a computer.

Lol I don't remember what I was running on mine as I'm not on stock anymore. I thought 4.2.2 was the newest version but of course I could be wrong.
If you tried that and it's the newest version then the only other way is rooting it. You have which version of the tab? Meaning what model number

I tried again to check for an update but it says its up to date. The model is SCH-i705

Ah the Verizon variant of the tab 2. Check this thread out. I'm not sure what you can update to, the version your on was basically determined by VZW.
EDIT: make sure you read before doing anything regarding root

Hey guys. Just got an LTE version of the Notepro. I went to update it, first thing. It says that my software version has been modified and that updates are not available. Having just unpacked the device. Is this something i should be worried about or just send it back?

Basically its a german lte version. They all seem to be affected. If samsung does fix this, could the update go through, despite this message?
Checked knox and its stil 0x0. So this is a bug.

But in the case they fix this could an update go through via Ota or kies, even when it says this.

All my Samsung devices are rooted, and none take the OTA with the same "your device has been modified" error. All are upgradable through Kies without any issue. Just went to KK on my S4 and Note 10.1 (2014) via Kies without any problems at all.

KK is KitKat (4.4.2 for the S4 and Note 10.1). Yes, Kies seems to bypass even the knox counter. *IF* it is confirmed that all the German LTE devices are doing this, I would not worry. If it's just yours, I'd send it back. But if it is all of them, you will always be able to update via Kies and I would suspect the first update would fix this OTA issue.
I have the same problem with mine, Italian Note Pro LTE. After the first OTA the status changed to Modified. I have also tried with ODIN to reflash, but it is still Modified. Obviously the Note Pro has not been modified or rooted in any way.
It seems a common problem.

Hi. If we want to update thorough Kies and we are on custom recovery, should we first flash stock recovery?? Thanks.

I read in the Singapore hardware zone forums that they too had ths problem with the LTE version. With the latest March (Singapore is one of the first to get it), the problem was fixed. They were able to fix it with an OTA update. So my advice for now is just hang in there untill the update arrives. I for example just returned my unit and waiting for the update.
