The only update I did was one year back through the update available on settings. Android 3.2 kernel version P7300 JPKL2.
I didnt do much else because I was concerned about the safety and reliability of other softwares. Am I missing out something huge really by not updating? Is Android 4.0 or 4.2 or whatever is latest compatible with my device? Is it better to update through Samsung dealer or it makes no difference doing at home ?
The ics update is way better than what you have now, honeycomb. If your still stock you should be able to get the OTA. Not sure where you are but its in most places now.

The easiest thing would be for you to do an ota update. Make sure your tab is well charged, then go to settings, about device, and select update software. Follow the prompts and you should be updated to android 4.04.

I am currently residing in India, but I brought my device from the middle east. I tried the update option available in settings but it says "no updates available". :crying: I then sent an email to samsung support.
PS: I don't know what "stock" or OTA is.

OTA is the upgrade On The Air
stock firmware is the original samsung firmware
OTA updates (using the settings > update to download update direct to the tablet, and not using a computer) requires that Samsung is ready *in your region*, or specifically in the region the tab's current software is linked to.
You could just grab any package from sammobile, and install with Odin. There is a variant for India available.

Is there a way to change the region my tab is connected too? From the firmware site, India does show up a ICS. But the country where I brought my tablet from , United Arab Emirates, don't have one. Maybe thats why I get "no updates available" message.
And do I loose some kind of a warranty if i update using Odin?
Thanks.
Yes, technically that would void your warranty. Some people who don't mind sticking Samsung with the bill will still send there tab back when they break it. The problem with that is that eventually device manufacturers may see that a lot of the devices that they are replacing were messed up by android enthusiasts taking advantage of the open nature of the platform. That gives them a financial interest in making closed platforms, and the community looses.
The upside is that if you do screw up your tab, the community has gotten really good at figuring out how to fix these problems. A little (or a lot) of reading is all it takes to find an answer to most problems.
I definitely think you should read up on odin, clockwork mod, and the roms available. You could have ics or jb on your tab with relatively little work, and it will be like having a whole new tab.

Installing a rom on this tablet seems more complex compared to what I used to do on my windows mobile. Is there any way to install the rom without the need for using a PC?
As far as i know, from ics, you need to use odin to flash cwm.

When i contacted them though mail, they said middle east OTA would come in 2 weeks. I decided to wait for that.
But i was wondering would there be a jelly bean OTA update for 8.9, now that 10.1 got a jelly update? http://www.ibtimes.com/android-412-...-available-us-how-install-it-tutorial-1018162
That article is for the 10.1 note, not the normal 10.1. As far as everything I have seen, it seems there will be no official JB for our tabs.

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.
Yes it has.
http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=80103803112d158012cbdd098960077e2
He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

I did the *2767*4387264636# in my dialer, and for my Pcode i got i9000HKDAUT...
1. how do i find out what country that is? I can't find a reference to it on anywhere other than here
2. How do i tell what firmware and ROMs I can load on it?
3. Is there another way to get 2.3 for this model other than kies?
link to where i purchased it from
Thanks so much for the help, it really means a lot
HKDAUT is unbranded in Switzerland. I have the same.
As for what ROM you would like to have, the possibilities are endless with Odin. If you want gingerbread, there is a leaked version or a Cyanogenmod 7 test version. I'm running CM7, there are a few bugs but overall I find it stable enough!
Just be careful before doing anything with Odin, as if you don't read carefully and follow instructions you risk bricking your phone!

very unusual seeing as i got my phone from a chinese seller, but thanks. How did you find out yourself?
Also, is the "i9000" an international model, or is there a specific product code which makes it one?
One more thing, how do i find the release date for my... swiss.. phone ( i still find it weird considering i'm in australia) for the official 2.3?
No release date yet for 2.3 .
Product code is tied to area country continent and network supplier of the phone .You get official updates through Kies for your product code when that network upgrades the firmware .In your case its whenever the generic/unbranded Swiss models get the update dont matter where in the world you are .
Unofficial channels firmware etc i would lokk on the Oz posts .

Stock firmware with a new an improve ROM, better theme with bigger "fonts"
Google it, I'm sure you will find it aesthetically pleasing.
Seriously though, i'm not sure what to look for when looking at ROMs. Do I need to look for compatibility our should I assume that they're all automatically compatible? Do I see if it's compatible with my product code or my firmware version or what? I'm at a loss so as to how to start searching for a custom ROM.

First of all i bought my first Android phone about 10 days ago, so I'm new to this world. I want to update my P880 to jelly bean, but I'm too paranoid to use root. The update should be out by now, so my question is: is it really out, and if it is can i update my phone directly without my pc suite? Also, i want to Know if there is a way to flash a rooted phone to the original version?

You don't need root to flash.
You can re-flash your original room.
Read more about root, battery drain and how to flash.
There are several methods, choose the best depending on your needs.
Be sure that you know what you're doing before you start.

Nope, the official release isn't here yet. And yes, you don't need your PC to update your phone providing that you have decent Internet connection. You can always go OTA, it's available right in your phone setting.
As of flashing a rooted phone, you can actually unroot it, without the hassle of reflashing your phone . There's a feature in the app for you to do so.
Anyway, you don't need to root your device to get JB, just download the kdz and flash it with kdz updater. The walk through is in general thread. A word of caution though, rolling back to ICS might be quite a task.
Btw, what regional rom are you on now?

Wrong, go back to ICS is easier as any other flash. The difference is that needs to be done with LGFlash Tool. Takes about 5 minutes, less than with kdz.

I installed the UK MK7 update weeks ago and want to switch back to the US now that it's available to get Exchange previews back. What's the CSC code for the US? Kies won't update since it says I already have MK7. Is there another place to download the new ROM? Can I downgrade to an older US ROM and let Kies update that way? I would, but I can't find even the old US ROMs.

Yes you can downgrade, Here is the thread where you can get the USA version. (OLD)

Also you can go here and get the current version, Currently the top one in the list.

Was thinking the same thing but wondering if it even makes sense to do? If the UK gets another update (which I assume will be before the US again) won't Gear Manager download it to my UK rom first?
I decided to reload the old ROM and re-upgrade not being sure if were differences. I had some wierdness after loading the old ROM which I suspect was program updates intended for the new ROM. You might want to do a reset to wipe the gear before dropping back to the old version.
Having done so, though, I used Kies to upload the new US ROM and it all went fine. I am now on the US MK7 and all seems well.

Thanks for this information, as I was not sure I was on the UK or the US version, having flashed the UK rom, but then being unsure if what appeared to be an update recently actually was. I am in USA and on the XAR version now. All have been working great with Exchange and other notifications.
Same size
I opened both .tar files (XAR from USA and BTU from UK) and they have the same exact size on all their subfolders (not a single Byte more, not a single Byte less) I assume they are the same firmware. Why Sammy took too long to update USA firmware? Weird right?

It flashed with a custom rom. I have seen so many F versions with this issue. You should be able to factory reset then use Phone Info app. Do a refurbishment check with the app and also check what firmware. Find out what model and region..get the firmware and flash with odin. Whenever I have purchased a device off line I always ask seller to send a pic of the software screen.

I'll do the factory reset tomorrow, its getting late in my time, and I have to sleep early cause I work as retail morning shift.
The app that you're talking about is Phone Info, made by uax.io correct? The phone I'm sure is brand new because I remember discussing it with my sister and talking about just getting a brand new phone and not wanting to deal with returning it due to the current pandemic situation. The big problem I seem to have is that I'm not sure exactly what firmware I should use, since the Sammobile admin said my phone is using a mix.
