help in updating this tab!!! - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,,
I have purchased galaxy tab 7.0 ,, p1000 yesterday !
I know its too late but its OK , its not for me any way
but I tried to update the tab to android 2.3 , but it seems something is wrong
I have downloaded the latest kies from Samsung website , then I have connected my P1000 , and every thing is going fine , but the kies says this is the latest firmware!!
what does that mean?
I know how to root the device and how to get the update but I don't want to!
why I can't just update it officially from kies?? I live in Saudi Arabia , but is it really a problem?? as far as I know its available for everyone now
any suggestions?

keis looks at your model number. so it's saying you have the latest software released for your model. most of what you see on here is people rooting and putting whatever they want on thier tablets. rooting is when you hack your computer to get low-level system access. which voids your warrenty. and android is linux so you should be familiar with how a linux os works and your tablets hardware.

ok thanks for replying ,,
I know all these stuff , and i am familiar with Linux also
but isn't this update officially released?
why does it say this is the latest firmware if it looked at my model number?!
does that mean some models don't get the update?

It's wierd. is it a import from somewhere else?
Keis would only reject models from certain places.
or your model is not on the roll out yet too.
samsung is a wierd company. good but wierd.
go into your configs and look at about your device,
and see what model and revision it is.

I'm in Saudi Arabia too and i'm also not getting any update while other people in Saudi Arabia have updated their Tabs from KIES

check this thread u might some answers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086484

Gingerbread is definitely not available everywhere just yet. Unavailable here on my Aussie Tab for example.
It's possible that you're Tab is coded to a carrier/region and would therefore be ineligible. For example, I have a GT-P1000T (nothing on the outside will tell you this. Try checking the box) which means I can't get the upgrade. Same goes for other models such as the 1000R/B/K type models. This could be an issue.
Also, if you're Tab is locked to a network, your carrier might have to sign off on the upgrade first.

Yeah, got the ****s wirth waiting for Telstra to release an update, went with ODIN instead, never looked back...
Apparently as I was browsing the telstra site yesterday, there is an upgrade available for the Telstra GT-P1000T now available for download through Kies.... If you are game...

Kies + update = new FW ?

heya fellas
just a small Q regarding Kies and how samsung works with it.
Does every kies update = a new FW release thru kies ? or do the FW updates have no relation to kies updates ?
I just randomly start kies from time to time and check my phones FW for any updates , iv done like a total of 2 kies updates ever since i got the kies software and currently upgrading to version 1.5.3.10093.31 . was wondering with the often so fast FW updates u fellas get in uk/europe , asia and the rest of the world. The middle east / africa hardly got any updates and all i know is ever since the original FW we only got the jpjg8 eclair version as a test FW which i have on my SGS right now and is considered the latest according to samsung. will samsung keep us hanging like with my HD i8910 depending only on custom fw from amazing people like faenil, HyperX who did almost if not all the work for samsung fixing their mistakes
Is that a Middle East specific release? I have v1.5.1.10074_45. Not heard anyone mention yours before.
@mazroui: kies and FW updates are not generally related, but might be a hint for an upcoming FW update.
@Tehpries: the version is new there are already at least two threads about it.

If you look at the times the other threads were started you will see they were begun later than my post.
Well one of them says: Today, 01:09 AM and your post is 14 hours later.
But never mind. My point is that new Kies version does not mean new official FW.
And I also hate the way Kies updates itself. Slow and unreliable. Resulted in an error at the end. As AllGamer said, it's a piece of ... kies
yup, this one came before the other ones
it just got lost in the pile
nope, i tried to upgrade for the same reason
to see if it was coming with the new ROM

thank you for the fast reply fellas, i sure hope we do get the update not so long after the international release if not with it ^_^
well my version 1.5.3.10093.31 i sure dont know how long ago came out since my auto update is off but today morning checked if kies had an update and it did but took way too long to download 68mb's and disconnected every 500kb or so
keeping my eyes on kies on daily basis starting today for any info regarding 2.2 or whatever they throw at us
P.S
no test mode now with this new version of kies T_T and it does a contacts backup before starting the FW check , very annoying >_<
i also have
Eclair - jpjg8 with arabic persain urdu
Could someone please post the download link for the very latest kies version ? Browsing the samsung website is a pain. Google search takes me to samsung site pages but I can't find any kies download link.... Is it just me ?

[Q] It's my tab cant upgrade gingerbread?

Hi, it's my tab cant upgrade to gingerbread? Even the when the official firmware available in malaysia?
Coz my fren using galaxy ace, is show diff from me
"This version of device is the latest version"
Mine
"This version of device cannot be updated"
Current firmware version: PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)
Thanks!
You have to manually flash gingerbread. It may not officially be available in your country yet, but you can still get gingerbread. Search tab development thread for gingerbread rom.
Hit thanks if i have helped.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
Thanks.
But I'm confused tat, if when my country available the firmware update, i still cant upgrade it?
I'm scared tat i cant upgrade the official firmware, cos mine still under warranty so plan to upgrade the official if can.
I get the info from some others chinese forum, some of the version cannot be upgrade to gingerbread. It's true?
The case may be that the country/region server does not yet recognize the
current firmware version (PDA:KM3 / PHONE:KM1 / CSC:KM2 (XME)) that you have. i also get that notice when i tried KM3_KM1_KM2 on my tab. i'm from the philippines and as per experience the only firmware that my kies recognizes for is the one that came with my tab when i bought it which is p1000dxjk2.
hopefully, when they "officially" roll it out for SE Asia, we will be able to update through kies. but for now i'm enjoying the stock gingerbread + CF-Root by chainfire.

[Q] update for Tablet Latest firmware version - PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 ( CPW )

Hi everyone...
what is the update on KIES likely to be called?
I can see on KIES
Current firmware version - PDA:JJ3 / PHONE:JID / CSC:JJ3 ( CPW )
Latest firmware version - PDA:JJ7 / PHONE:JK5 / CSC:JJ5 ( CPW )
I am not sure why it shows ( CPW ) and get the feeling it is not the Gingerbread update.
Any advice much welcomed!
Ofiaich
This is same as mine that's a update to froyo I have the cpw aswell
thanks jutley!
I bought mine from Staples
So waste of time to do that update?
Ofiaich
Just wait. I went from JJ3 to JMI the other week (tesco tab)
Was that a Kies update or OTA (or did you manually flash)?
I'd not heard of anyone in the UK getting the update through Kies/OTA yet.
Guys, Gingerbread is only available in Italy at the moment. If you are waiting for Gingerbread you need to keep an eye on your countries official site, Until its on there you wont be able to get it via Kies.
Just connected to KIEs and got the following firmware update:
PDA:JMI / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM2 (CPW)
Am I right in assuming that this is a Froyo release?
Yes that still is froyo-released in January for Europe....
I have my tab since December. It only updated to JMI/JMA/JM2 (CPW) via Kies today (June 21st).
Got it from the UK and am in Portugal.
Any idea why it took so long to get an outadated update? It was updated to JJ7/JK5/JJ5 (CPW) since January, I think.
I was really looking for GB here :-/

NOBODY EXCEPT SAMSUNG KNOWS ABOUT UPDATES.....and they also have pulled out the previously leaked(take note-leaked-not officially provided) Italian gingerbread without any reason.
Note: CPW is sales code for UK-no updates for UK......
Yesterday I connected to Kies and got the prompt to update firmware to Gingerbread.
I thought "great" and followed the on screen instructions. Anyway, the update failed, probably due to me running other programs at same time and not turning firewall/virus settings OFF.
So I did the 'emergency recovery' and ended up back where I started, with
PDA:JMI / PHONE:JMA / CSC:JM2 (CPW)
Now Kies says there is no update available, in so much as onthe Basic Information tab, it says the above firmware is the 'latest' one.
Anyone know why this might have happened, and how I can get Kies to recognise the Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) is due a firmware update ?
I'm reading a lot of cloak and dagger stuff coming out about the Kies system and updates. Does this update come and go from the Kies system ? That would be odd....
cheers
Tony
We in Asia just got our second gingerbread update-from DXJPC to JPD.......!

I understand that Samsung is the only one knowing when updates are done. My question was because I got an update yesterday that everyone got in January, for what I read in the forums.
Just found it weird and hoped someone had a clue!

Weird indeed-that Asia got 2 gingerbread updates in a span of 2weeks while the rest of the world had none since January.

[Q] I9305 still on 4.1.1

hello,
i got a question, I wonder why my s3 is still on android 4.1.1. I cant update via kies or ota, it just says i already got the latest version. Does it have something to do with my provider (proximus) or the fact that I have the 4G version, that I seem unable to update to 4.1.2? also, i never rooted my phone and im not planning on rooting it either.
thanks

I can't see any firmware from proximus on sammobiles, so there is a chance that it has not been updated for them, if you want 4.1.2 I would download the latest unbranded rom for the i9305 (be 100% sure that the model number is correct) you can then proceed to flash this via Odin, you will not need to be rooted and it will not affect the binary counter.
I suggest the unbranded rom because that comes straight from Samsung, and contains no carrier bloatware.
Next time please post your questions in the Q&A section, as it's against the rules to post questions in general discussion, I will report the thread and ask for it to be moved to Q&A for you

Sry but you didn't read it right and it was not a Samsung statement (just a rumor), for now we wait for 4.2.2 or 4.3 on S3 and only in like 4-8 weeks at least.

I would really prefer to not do anything with my phone, I tried rooting and custom rom and all that stuff on my transformer prime tablet and that didn't end good at all, so I really dont want to ruin my S3, as I have no idea what unbranded and Odin and carrier bloatware is... And sorry for the wrong section
Also when I look on this sammobile site for firmwares, I do not see my PDA number. My Baseband version is I9305XXALJ2 and buildnumber JR003C.I9305XXALJ3. I do not see those numbers anywhere on the site, and since you said I had to be absolutely sure I have the firmware with the right number, there is no firmware for my device or..?
latest is 4.1.2 on sammobile .
Updates Kies OTA are via your vendor . They may choose not to update .

The roms on Sammobile are completely stock, but if you have a carrier branded rom, and they haven't updated you to 4.1.2, and you don't want to mess around there isn't much you can do except wait.
But if you have the I9305 you can flash any I9305 rom.
Odin is a program leaked from Samsung it's what they use to flash test devices at the factory, unbranded is just a rom that has come from the manufacturer rather than carrier, and contains no carrier based boot animations or apps etc. Bloatware is unnecessary system apps (for most people) some examples are apps from your carrier.

Man, just download generic (not branded ROM) for your region and flash it via Odin 3.0.7. It takes about 5-6 minutes to flash and you'll be OK afterwards...
I never use branded fw. Every time I buy a new phone, put it to download mode right out of box and flash generic ROM.

The Luxembourg version is now on sammobile and you should be able to update your phone via Kies. This is the version sold by Belgacom in Belgium as they also own Tango.

[Q] Updating Non-U.S. Galaxy Gear to Tizen

I just recently purchased a Galaxy Gear online and apparently it isn't a US model. I don't think it's a fake, it's just from another country. It runs Android with no problems, but I would like to upgrade to Tizen. When I connect to Kies 3 however, it doesn't show that there is an updated firmware available. I'm not afraid to flash Tizen manually, but so I need to flash the ROM specific to the country this device was made for?
