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

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)

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

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.

Tmobile 4.1.2

For us uk locked Tmobile (EE) users they have released XXELL1 4.1.2 on Sam mobile. Downloading now.

After a problem with Kies updating the Rom ( my laptop ) it's was over to Odin 3.07 to do it. Everything is working mainly mobile data, any other Rom thats wasn't TUM caused the Data to break as it's locked to Tmobile (EE).
I haven't rooted it yet as I don't want to get that red triangle to popup. Will I have to change the bootloader for the cure?

My father's S3 is on EE, has the 4.1.2 update been released officially on Kies yet? It's so silly how they have blocked the OTA option on their roms

Yes, if he connects to Kies he will be offered 4.1.2 but after my problems with Kies use Odin to flash it. Goto Samobile to download.
