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.

On this forum, or Google, you will find info on how to use odin

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.

I have googled and looked around all over XDA. I cannot find accurate data regarding updating to 5.1 from 4.4.4.
I've been a huge fan of XDA and the devs for years. I've always been able to find what I'm looking for within minutes. But this time.... I can't. The biggest issue is when I do find something, it's either missing details or missing working links. I'm not very good at this and don't know how to find the files needed on my own. Can I get some accurate help with working links on this issue? Thanks guys!
I have a Moto X 1st Gen, Dev eddition. 4.4.4 - rooted. TWRP (can't remember what version) I had Xposed installed, but uninstalled it recently (and the modules). Do I still need to do anything to further remove Xposed?
Is your first gen dev edition an XT1053/GSM model, or XT1060/Verizon model?
I ask because the 5.1 update for the Verizon model hasn't been released yet.
As for conditions to update, see the link in my signature, it explains it all.
Hi,
i recently installed Chinese rom of Android 5.1.1 on my nubia z9 mini indian device.
Most of the things work fine so far only issue I have is one with mobile data.
I'm not able to get mobile data working.
Network gets selected fine but internet does not work.
I have read multiple threads and looks like this is known issue. Someone did mention that he found solution but I did not find link to his ROM.
I want to know how to fix this issue.
APN is correctly set.
Thanks,
Dilkush
I faced the same problem in Indian Version but after coming back to indian version, I placed only that sim card in which net plan is active. Then after that i place the second sim now both r working and with data connection. Try this. Let me know if it success.
Mine is working
way beyond testing this options!!!!

Hi everyone !
I just add a misadventure with my Honor 5C (bricking it, basically). Since I didn't remember which firmware was installed beforehand, I went ahead and downloaded the latest build number proposed by looking for NEM-L51 in Huawei Firmware Finder. I didn't have any OS installed on my phone after bricking it, so I couldn't do an OTA and had to download a full version instead.
Now I have the build number NEM-L51C432B141. I know for sure I hadn't this version before, since I noticed some minor changes in the settings. Now is it a good thing ? Why didn't my phone updated to this version before ? Was it even supposed to ? Everything seems to work just fine, but...
I'm pretty confused about this whole build stuff anyway. What does it refer to ? I read somewhere that the C432 part had something to do with the location... If so, what about the rest of the number ?
And how to know which build I should be using ? If a new one is available ? Should I download them manually or just let my phone update at its own pace ? So many questions I'd be glad to find answer to.
Thank you for reading me. Hope someone can help me to understand, at least, a bit more.
Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
