Salam and Hello xda community. As you may know that Samsung has not yet sent the OTA of JB 4.2.2 for Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P3100) in middle eastern countries like Saudi,Egypt etc. It's not available through Kies or Sammobile. Even though its been more than a year since the tab's release here.
I think we should bomb Samsung Arabia's twitter account and maybe even start a petition so they will roll out the OTA atleast. Anyone with me?
Please someone point me in the right direction if I'm doing something wrong here.

Wow Samsung should be ashamed of themselves. I mean why the hell do they behave like this with Middle Eastern countries only?
My friends have a Note II and 2 S III's that are still on JB 4.1. I wonder if this is the case with the Note 3. If so I may have to get it from somewhere else

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

Anybody there who can confirm when the Jelly Bean is coming to Saudi Arabia for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000. I am waiting eagerly for that, but found no clue when it will be released for our region.
I'm new to Android so I can't risk for rooting (I can't even do that coz never used android before)...
Thanks in Advance............
Well it should be out soon that all that we all can speculate, the update pattern of samsung is sick to say the least
You are better installing the german rom

you might have to download Samsung Kies (From your computer, its officially from samsung) and use that to update your phone, and Android 4.3 is not kit kat, it still jelly bean i understand the installation of kies takes forever and is unbearable but the 4.3 update is worth it!

I don'f think there is one for Egypt yet... You can flash it manually with odin from another country, but it will be difficult to go back afterwards, because of Knox (if you still have a warrenty)

Check this website in chrome its in Japanese or Chinese so you can translate it, gonna have to test it you guys i have exynos and its up to you guys to try and install
Just wanted to share
Thanks to @Tetraguy
Did somebody found download link ?
The guy i mentioned found this and i'm an exynos user i wish i could test this 4 u but i cant
no download link.....
Like the thread title said "Claimed" maybe download link will be available tomorrow
I'll contact a mod to move this to general section
If i don't understand false, it is an OTA Update. Only the HongKong user can download it.
I don't know, how we can get it. I would like to test it too.
If i don't remember wrong, isn't the HongKong Note 3 different than SM-N9005?
I am sure that in some days, we will get it.
I really dont understand too much too, its an OTA update link will be posted hopefully and the method as for the variant i really dont know :/
There are so much questions. I think so, we have to wait a little bit.
What about BootLoader? What about system partition? The HongKong version has a 16GB internal storage.
Maybe we can make a softbrick. Better wait a little bit.
Untill we are certain and till i can find some link i'll tell ya
But if someone is gonna test this its gonna be someone with a jig just in case it gets bricked

It is for Qualcomm. Hong Kong SM-N9005 is a Qualcomm Note 3 too.
It has only a little bit different storage structure. The Hong Kong SM-N9005 has a 16GB internal storage. The international SM-9005 has a 32GB internal storage.
I don't know so much about the bootloader, if they have same bootloader or not.

From what I read on their forums, some people got the OTA update on NJ1 firmware while others didn't.
Hide the contents of this post
1: 9005 Hong Kong version has begun to push Samsung 5.0 lollipop, and upgrade ota. Want to upgrade 5.0 9005 oil, you can brush about the latest family of four nj1 9005 twice. Until at odin mode, there is no custom in English, the system will support the ota. In order to upgrade, and wait for a push on the line. The following screenshots have been painted custom official. Popular talk has painted the official system from a third party ROM.
2: About the Hong Kong version 5.0 Push 9005, ordinary engine oil is not recommended blind ota, Samsung upgrades generally can not downgrade. Once 5.0, means that the software is not compatible with all kinds, especially games. So I do not know what they are doing oil caution ota. Oil and recommend future ordinary brush card pack. . . Card brush package will not upgrade bl, so much safer.

The screenshots from the original link in the opening post of this thread clearly show it's running on the N9005, not the N900.
Here are the same news in vietnamese.
So, the OTA is rolling out in HK actually. I can't read vietnamese, but the google translator is showing, that there will be a tutorial soon. But maybe the translator just translated it wrong. xD

Through Google Translate. I can't vouch for the accuracy though. But fingers crossed they'll have a working release of this for 32gb units over the coming days.

Same! I hope it is also true! Call Samsung in within of your country, if you live in the U.S.A, call them at: 1 (800) 726-7864

I think that means it isn't coming and that the person (or bot) you were chatting with is expecting questions that are more like "How do I turn on wifi?" or "How can I update my phone?".

Samsung has confirmed that it is out. Many devices are still getting it.
Yes... devices like SM-T237, SM-T235, all LTE models. But SM-T230 or SM-T231...
Nice job being a troll samsung hasn't released an update for about a year now for the SM-T230NU and they are never going to update it to lollipop. Samsung is a very ****ty company and they only care about money unfortunately and new devices as they keep making way too many of them. Why would you even want 5.0.1 if anything i would want them to give us 5.1.1 lollipop that would make much more sense but best buy is not installing any lollipop update on your tab and im sorry if you think they are but they aren't. There just pulling your leg. You can even look on sammobile there is no update on there which is lollipop
Moderators please close this thread as it's against xda rules

Here i am in March 2018, Samsung did not released Lollipop upgrade for Tab 4 SM-T230NU, and will never do. The latest official firmware from sammobile for this device is 4.4.2.
