Galaxy tab 2 install question. - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
Sent from my Wicked S3

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.

I did, thats how I know for sure it's the 4.1.2 version. I would just like to update it to a newer version.

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

US version of ICS firmware

Where can I find the US version of ICS firmware for my galaxy tab 7 plus wifi. Pls, help. I am new member of XDA community
Well, in theory, it should arrive via KIES for the PC or you can check for it using your tab. Go to Settings/about this device/Software Update and check their server.
Personally, I'm still waiting for the update. I chatted with Samsung and they said that they were rolling out the update in batches and to be patient. grrrr.
An alternate way is through some celluar site. You'll have to dig around for that thread.

Use Kies, then. It is pretty straightforward - I was brand new to it, downloaded it from the Samsung website, installed, plugged in my device, waited about 2-3 minutes (didn't need to "sync" anything), and it said there was an update. I hit "ok" through the process, and in about 15 minutes or less, I had ICS.
It is now official. Just check your updates now.

Customer base and update cycles are two completely different things. And judging by my coworker who has a gs3 and doesn't even know what a premuim suite update is and doesn't care, I think Verizon will be fine sending out updates whenever they want.
Were probably going to skip straight to 4.2

I apologize in advance for this noob question...
I rooted my s3 a couple of months ago. Now that 4.1.2 is out, how do I update & re-root it? Do I just download an updated rooted image & boot into recovery mode and flash it, or is there more to it than that? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just flash the rooted stock, then flash the radio and rpm. Much easier than updating and rerooting.

well, that didn't quite work
so I downloaded the file CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3zh-gti9305 (hopefully that was the right one for 4.1.2 rooted). I booted into recovery mode, started odin. Chose PDF and selected the file, hit Start. After about 15 seconds I get a "Fail" message. Phone won't boot at all. Did I select the wrong image? How do I get my phone back?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking that this was the wrong file, I went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439
and downloaded the For VRBMB1 (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) file. That updated correctly via Odin, and phone now reboots. Looks like it's still at 4.1.1 however....

[Q] Official Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Update

Most people have know heard of the Jelly Bean update for the GT-P6200 which should be released today (22/02/13) but does this include the Wi-fi Version (GT-P6210) or will we have to wait even longer for this update to come out?

Works great! Flashed with Odin. After confirming everything seemed to work fine, I reflashed clockwork Mod and Superuser zip. I am now rooted again and working fine...
I flashed this via mobile Odin and got a bootloop. I had to reflash via pc Odin and everything is fine. Jellybean is way smoother than ics.

I would like to update my phone with the latest updates and I do not know where to start, I am still pretty new to all of this and would like to get the most out of it without missing out on anything.

CM11 is 4.4. To update to 4.4, just do the same thing you did to get CM10. EXCEPT, you need to update your recovery (in the op of the CM11 thread) and the newest gapps (also in op of cm11). Just follow the instructions of the CM11 thread and you'll have it! Keep in mind, CM11 is in the early stages, so there will be bugs. Need anything else, don't hesitate to ask.

I was able to get rooted w/ TWRP using Odin 3.09.
I followed these instructions, but i did not use the android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip, i used a different one I had on my sdcard already. I dont think it matters.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514821
the first time i attempted it failed and replaced TWRP with the stock recovery because i forgot to un-check the automatic reboot box.
My second attempt i *unchecked automatic reboot,* unplugged the tablet from my computer *before* rebooting it into recovery, worked just fine!
Got TWRP installed just fine, but when I open SuperSU, it says there are no binaries installed.
