Are you completely sure about it? I thought Tab 2 was forever stuck on 4.2.2 which is the latest available firmware over at SamMobile (released on September 2014)

AM not def sure as going on what friend has said...Have asked for a screen shot etc and still waiting.
But he's positive it's 4.4.2! I have asked are you sure it's not 4.2.2 but says that updated to that last year!
will post back asap.

Well, I did a search for newer firmwares on SamMobile and there's nothing. The latest firmware is 4.2.2.

I m sure its not kitkat as they officially said that they will stop support after 4.2.2
Maybe its not tab2 but other tab like tab3 or 4!

USA Galaxy Tab Plus firmware update via Kies is live

I just plugged my Tab Plus and was notified a new firmware is available. I can only guess that it's ICS since it's still updating, currently at 60%. At last!

Just finished. It is in fact ICS 4.0.4 :good: I notice the smoother UI operations right away. This is a USA wifi only Tab Plus by the way, all stock.

Yes I was very surprised this morning to see this and am installing it as we speak. I was getting pissed off as the TMo version was to start updating today too. Version PDA:LPC / CSC:LPC (XAR)
Good to know. I'll try it when I get home later today. WOOT!!!!

Success flashing
I notice that the update is also available at sammobile I did flash from ICS UK to ICS US without problems, the only thing that I don't like is that the ebook app is now not available at my country (Costa Rica)
Which is US wifi only? I see Cellular South but nothing else. I had flashed the UK version but would like to use US. I tried update on the tablet and received "process failed" for the update
here for the us wifi only

Thank you
If you encounter problem with stock browser after update, you have to clear data in application settings.
Is there any difference between the UK and US version?
Ohhhhh that means the update will soon hit for the P6200 model! Awesome news indeed! Can't wait for it
not really

Not really, I notice that Readers hub was removed (That means Kobo and zinio are not installed by default) beyond that is "visually" the same, Not sure if there are some "internal" improvements, but it's just 0,07 Kb bigger than the latest ICS UK firmware

Official: Jelly Bean for the GT 7 Plus coming in the next weeks

Samsung has just made the announcements, and among the listed devices is the 7 Plus.
This time around they have promised a faster deployment than with ICS, saying it's coming to all these devices "within the next weeks".
Great news =)

He said "Next weeks" with an S, not week. :silly:
impossible you say? I would bet ours devs.. given full samsung source, binaries, blobs etc, working full time, could build official JB in a matter of days. Testing does take time though.
Id bet on before February from Samsung.
just like sammy siad we will get ics,
i am living in South Africa and we all did not get ics.
i had to root my tab and flash open austria firmware.
i will do it again when open austria jelly bean firmware is out.

i'm not sure what you mean by "every firmware has a kernel...counter" thingy. i've flashed more than three times using odin, and my flash count is still 0. i think that it will only count if you flashed a custom firmware. just my thought though
What i want to said is, u dont need root for flahing firmware via odin and dont take hard way and use mobile odin...and it will not count up ur binary...believe me..this is not 1st time im using android and flashing firmware...tab plus is my tenth android device lol...

I am predicting a late January test build showing up on SamMobile with a OTA of late Feb or March.
I base this on the historical release rhythm for Samsung tablets and the P62xx series.

probably, i hope by late january or early febuary we could get at least one jellybean build for p6200. the blobs might help a little for cm10(or 10.1 by that time), but i don't know how much it will help, perhaps the video playing problem could be solved, and maybe a smoother "buttery" jellybean.

Yes the libraries and kernel would help with other ROMs, but I want the stock version unless someone adds IR blaster support to CM10.

n8010

Hi,
okay why is it that their are ...pretty much NO roms for my tablet n8010? All the roms I see posted for the note 10.1 are not for my model, I have seen one which is stable for the jelly bean update but It wasn't running that well on my tablet, why is their such little choice for my model and also when will jelly bean be out for my version?

1. The devs are likely waiting for JB to compile ROMs for your device
2. Only Samsung and Jesus know when JB will be out for the N8010 (and N8013)

But its risky to try out roms which arent specifically designed for your device, right? I used a rom from this site and it changed the model nunmber to n8000, even though the rom was supposed to be for my device...lol...I guess Im just going to wait for the official jelly bean rom out here..

Not if you know what you're doing.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using XDA Premium HD app
The reason you do not have roms for 8010 is because none are available the jB for 8010 is out for Germany but an OTA and hence the complete firmware is not available but there are some post where you download the OTA and follow some steps and install it.
Would I recomend you to do that no, if it was the complete firmware i would say go ahead.
Wait for sometime it should be out soon ( I have been waiting for couple of months form the Indian firmware of Note 800 to be out still no signs)

[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.

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

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

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
