[Q] how do we upgrade the Bell Canada Galaxy Tab - Galaxy Tab General

Very simple question:
How are we supposed to upgrade the Bell Canada Galaxy Tab?

Either Bell will issue an update or you can flash the unbranded firmware and get the updates as Samsung pushed them. People correct me if I am wrong but I think this is how it will/does work.

That's correct. Though they never notify you about Kies updates.

So you would do it through Kies?
The problem is that I can't Kies to recognize my Tab.
Or is it over the air?

Kies doesn't recognize your Tab because Kies hasn't been updated to recognize your Tab. Before they roll out a Bell Tab update, they'll roll out a Kies update, and Kies will let you know there is an update for it.
TLDR; You're not missing anything yet, and there is no OTA for Galaxy devices in Canada (or most of the world, for that matter).

Thanks,
I'll try to make Kies work on my win7 pc and then watch for updates.
(unfortunate that they don't have a Mac version)

Use Kies Mini, its the Samsung recommended method to update.

I know i can use kies mini because i dont know if i will get the froyo ota. Maybe you can use kies mini when froyo comes out.

If not then they will issue a new Kies Mini specifically for Froyo. Either way I wouldn't worry about it.

As far as i'm aware, no GSM Tabs have ever received an OTA update, as it is all done through Kies.

Dave
We learn a new thing every day. Never knew some tabs even had OTA option.
Thanks all.
Its just my 3rd day with TAB. Had HTC desire HD before it.

download kies from samsung uk
i had to download the version of kies from the samsung uk site. everything works after that. the version from samsung us said that phone not available.
I connected to a netbook running windows 7. It connected but said this item is not suitable for upgrading with kies.
Maybe i just have to wait for samsung to update kies etc.
Thanks.

Not supporting Windows 8 (Develop Release). Double Click leads to nothing.
When something's function as simple as that can went wrong, that's a piece of ****.
i'll stick to wifi file explorer

Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies

Brand new Note 2 .Not rooted. When I connect to Kies I get the above message.
Wont be such a problem I guess as I will just download from Sammobile and flash with Odin. Just curious as to why I get that message.
The phone is a EU Spec model (French) and I am in UK. That would have no bearing on it would it?

Try reinstalling kies, i had same with SGS3, just reinstalled kies and after that worked without any problems.
The same here even after clean installation of the new kies
Only updated Kies this morning as I wanted to flash latest official update on my S3 in preparation for selling it. Like I said it probably won't be a problem as it willmore than likely be rooted before an update is released. I just like things to work as they should.

Kies will work when there are roms on kies, at the moment the samsung kies servers have no N7100 roms at all.

Thanks, so i need to re-install KIES or re-initialise my phone in download mode or when the FW is ready to be downloaded from KIES, it will change the status? Right now it is showing not supported for upgrade via kies...hmm but irrc my previous S3 (telco set) will show " your phone is running the latest firmware" in KIES rather than showing not supported (when there is no new FW).
A day back I had done a nandroid backup of my phone using CWM and flashed a custom rom, the the very same day i restored the nandroid backup because i didn't like the custom rom, now there is JB update available for my region ad whenever i connect my phone to kies it says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" ... I tried reinstalling kies but it didn't help. Help!
I have the same problem. Installed ICS from odin and its over, kies wont recognise it anymore. I have tab 7.7 P6800 and its for a birthday gift so rofl. It would be great if someone have any sugestions. Thanks to all.
