Thank you. However is there a method to getting the update without rooting the phone? I'm not really comfortable work this.
I presume I'll need to need to just wait until it appears when I hit update via settings > about phone > software update ?

using odin doesnt root the phone or need the phone to be rooted

Hi, I've got a galaxy note here in the philippines, I bought it from someone who got the unit from I believe somewhere in europe, because I'm not getting the XXLA# updates, I'm still stuck at the KK5 update.
But since last week there's been and LA# OTA update for my friend's galaxy note which was purchased at a local samsung store here in the philippines which i'm not getting on mine when I press the Software Update button on my note.
My question is if I manually update via Odin to the same firmware as my friend's note. Will I still be able to get future OTA updates? and if I do which updates will I be getting in the future, will i get the one he gets too, or will it still be from whatever country my unit came from.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks!

[Q] galaxy I9000 2.3.3 update

i have the international I9000 (from israel) and was wondering if the new update thats due to come soon will be international, will all the owners of the galaxy s get it? if so are there any exceptions to this? and on kies i used to have a update section when i had my phone connected but now its gone, anyone knows why?
I'm having the same question regarding SGS-I9003. Anyone?
Eventually when the upgrade is rolled out across the networks .
Its the individual networks that can be slow to upgrade their firmware .
But really only Samsung can answer the question .
jje
thats what im asking
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
and about the networks.. i wont be able to get the update from kies anless my provider had the update ready for itself?
did samsung have some kind of anouncement regarding this?
NO No official release yet to the public that is .

same when i connect my phone stock jpy it used to say this version cant be updated. it now has vanished that only means 1 thing official 2.3.3 is coming within the next 3-4 days
Make sure you have the new version of kies. When you click on your phone in the navigation lane on the left, the first tab that opens shows your current firmware and the newest firmware... for now they are the same. However this is the first kies version I have gotten to work in israel. All previous versions refused to see the phone.
Rumor is that gingerbread will roll out to all international users on the 30th... which may be true or not but the fact that kies does NOT show that our israeli galaxys are unable to be updated gives me hope.
In the meantime if you want a good custom mod based on FROYO check out SimplyGalaxy in the android development area. The dev has posted an addon with israeli cscs (Pelephone, orange and Cellcom).

No one will know anything solid until Samsung makes an announcement (which I doubt they will do) or the update starts appearing in Kies.
No doubt if/when this roll out begins someone will very noisily post a FIRST thread, a few dozen posts will go up telling us the version has been released, lots of people will yell at those posters for making multiple posts, then several threads will start tracking it around the globe and the Modders will start to spit out new ROM versions. Rinse and repeat.
For now, the rumor is still that it will hit on the 30th, so we will see on Wednesday, baruch ha'shem.
Okay thanks for the reply, i guess we just have to wait for it to come and hope the rumors are true

[Q] official gingerbread update with kies and status of simlock?

Hello All,
I have one noob question!!.. I have a vodafone galaxy tab (Spain) and I had it unlocked (from simlock). My question is that when the official gingerbread comes out and I update, will I loose the unlock?? (as in the case of iOS devices).
pardon me for my ignorance on android os.
thanks in advanceee
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
I am amazed to see no reply..
Really!!! Noone here has any idea regarding this!!
maybe I need some other forums apart from xda..
I havn't gotten the update yet, however, I'm thinking that if you receive your update on-air from vodafone, then simlock would be reactivated. If you update through kies, there's a good chance that your tab will remain open. Just my opinion. Cheers!
Just to confirm from Italy if kies updated only unlocked tabs and not the ones sold by mobile service providers. Just to know if I should wait for the official release or go the overcome route.

If you flash an official samsung rom it will stay unlocked. I don't know about a vodafone.
For your second question I'll suggest you to flash with the italian rom, that's what I did with my french tab.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I've Have my own with vodafone too (unlocked), And I installed the las overcome ROM with gingerbread... It's amazing...
Looking at kies, it says that our tablet can't be upgraded ^^
thanks orion,
I was just being lazy to carefully follow the instructions to flash it myself (fearing to brick it and then post on the Q&A on a bricked tab!!..).
I will try to read the instructions and do it.. can you point out the exact link (as you get a million hits on the subject with google and it becomes hard to choose the right one)
cheers
You'll have to revert back to stock in order to receive an official OTA update. My tab keeps reminding me to update my software but I'm rooted and can't install it. If I do install...it bricks my tab and I have to start all over again using heimdall. Odin to you...
Tbolt meatclaws-talkatap
i.e.. to sum up.. maybe I shall wait a few days/weeks before going the odin route!!

[Q] Stopped working after upgrade to Gingerbread.

Hi.
We have two galaxy tabs and was upgrading to ginger bread. One of them was succsesful, but the other one dosen't start anymore.
Donno what's wrong with it?
How can I get it working again?
Thankful for any help. (Excouse my bad english.)
Regards Christian.
You can put it into download mode and flash it with odin. Google download mode galaxy tab. Then download the stock gingerbread firmware from samfirmware.com or xda download site. On youtube there are good tutorials how to flash galaxy tab firmwares. WARNING: you will VOID you WARRANTEE
Sent from my GT-I9100
Okey, thanks for a quick answer. Is there anyway of doing this and not void warrenty? Some recovery thing or something?
Well the download mode is the recovery and kies doesn't provide this as far as i know sry you could send it to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9100
But i am not sure if an official rom will void your warrantee. How did you update it?
Sent from my GT-I9100
flashing official firmware in no way would void any warranty.
You need to find the stock firmware (rom) for your Tab and then flash it via Kies or Heimdall depending on which tab you have, that should get you back up and running unless there's an actual hardware issue.
Thanks alot for your time.
There is no hardware error, this is software.
Can someone please explain in steps how to do this and where to get the firmware and roms or is there any good how-to to do this?
Official firmware is availiable on samfirmware.com registration is free. They also provide flashing tutorials. For any further problems ask me, i'll help

Thanks alot, i'll try.
I appreciate you keeping and eye on this post if i run into some heavy problem

Okey, I changed pit file with odin and after that it works again. I'm in keis with the device connected and in there it says this deviceversion can not be updated.
I would like to be able to update it to gingerbread in keis.
I have to devices and they are both galaxy tab 7" gt-p1000 and one of them is updates, why can't i update this one?
I get this.
PDA:JJ7 Phone:JK5 CSC:JK2 (TPH)
So you have one on gingerbread and the other one is on 2.2, right?
Did you buy them both in the same store/ county?
What is modem etc on the gingerbread one?
Sent from my GT-I9100
The one that I was able to update to gingerbread with keis is bought a few weeks before the other one. Not in the same store but in the same country (Sweden, I live here.)
I don't have the other one at home right now. so I don't know modem (by the way, what is modem?)
Thanks in advance.
Hmm modem dont really know should ask google but i'm too lazy. Maybe these two devices are a bit more different than we think... I really have no idea why kies wont let you update it, sorry. I have no galaxy tab (but maybe in some months?) but you could download the 2.3.3 from samfirmware and flash it. The only problem would be that this firmware (marked red) is unofficial. Means that you might void the warrantee.
By the way 2.3.3 is only official on italian galaxy tabs
I personally live in Austria and bought a Galaxy S2 about a week ago. I think that if it would need a repair i could easily flash it to official 2.3.3 (i am 2.3.4 unofficially) and i dont really think about warrantees.
I am not sure if you would not void the warrantee with an unofficial but not rooted os.
But if you want i can help you to get on 2.3.3. It is your choise.
Official 2.2 or
Unofficial 2.3.3

It showed you because its the latest F/W for your location.As far as rooting,simple search would do.Go to dev section and search.Or read this.
Basically, most ota updates will lose root. Safest way to keep root on update is use mobile Odin on device and download update package from samfirmware or Dr. Ketans guide.

Any love for us with Korean versions?

I've tried to do a bit of deserving to see if anyone had rooted a Korean 8.9 but haven't seen anything yet. Could probably find pity in a Korean forum but my Korean had a long way to go Just looking for some advice. I don't want to messed around if I can't even find a stock ROM to go back should things go wrong.

oh man!I bough one,no proble,.here's some of my experience:
Shv-e140L cannot flash rom for AT&T version or P7230 version
You can root and install CWM by using P7230 kernel (read the tutorial)
Backup before doing anything
Kies if you need stock rom! follow my instruction:
- Connect Tab with kies to update 4.0 firmware
- download firmware
- when the download finished, go to the folder: C:\Users\[ur user name]\AppData\Local\Temp\Binary\SHV-E140L\LGT\KR
- Copy the zip file and extract it you will have ICS stock rom (.md5)
- Flash this rom if tab is bricked
P/s:do it before doing anything
Cool, thanks.
Just so I am clear, in your steps, you said "update firmware to 4.0" and "download firmware" I take it you meant "download firmware to be installed(i.e. Cyanogen...)".
Also, in order to update to 4.0 firmware, I am a little confused. I just recently received my first firmware update from Samsung last week. When you say firmware, do you mean Android version? I only have 3.2 and there are no further updates for my device I see.

Also, can you still use the DMB for watching TV? Would still like to keep that option.

Firmware means you can unbrick your tab by odin(named UH02 for 4.0 version) ,not the update pack!That firmware is base on ICS.
