Cannot update Galaxy Tab !

This morning connected my Galaxy Tab to KIES and it prompted that there is an update !!
it took ages to download its binary files then finally after it got done, it gave me a decryption error !!
I have changed my sales code to gain access to market, could this be the problem or do i redownload the files !!
Isn't there a way to UPGRADE fw via OTA? or placing update.zip in root of sd nd flashing from recovery? (similar to HTC devices)
how do I upgrade to the latest version? help please
Cheers
Jackie
PS: Please find attached the firmware code : current and new !

Are you UK based Jackie? Just guessing as you said cheers! I've seen nothing this morning though have read there was an Android Market update which I had already downloaded and applied, maybe why I'm seeing no update.

no I'm based in UAE !! that's just teh way I speak !!

Ah right, nice to read it all the same, Cheers!

so anyone has any idea?

Jackie,
I don't bother with Kies.... It put my SGS in a right mess and couldn't be used until I sorted it out with another ROM and a different PC software upgrader by the name of Odin.
Your best bet is to go on over to samfirmware.com and check out the latest ROM's available.
I'm sending you also a link which although was written for the SGS and Froyo it's still relevant for ROM files for the Tab and how to use Odin.
See here:- How to use Odin to Upgrade the SGS to Froyo

First, what ROM version do you currently have installed?
Next, look at the list of ROM's available see here.
You need to find out if you are on a European, Asian, Arabic, etc ROM and decide if you want to stay on that list or opt to another nation list.
For European lists JMA is the latest. There's a topic on JMA here.

PDA: P1000JPJJ2
Phone: P1000JXJJ1
CSC: P1000OJPJJ3
is what is being reported on *#1234# and samfirmware says this is the Arabic firmware and the latest for Arabic is P1000JVJL1 December 2010, not that I'm interested in any of the region specific apps - just wondering what has been fixed in these firmwares and also if flashing would delete all my data (I'm guessing it would)
I don't mind flashing a European firmware too, so which would be best?
PS: Tab is currently rooted with OCLF set ! =)
Cheers

Hi may i ask if you do firmware update does the tab have to be sim free not lock to a network as im on t-mobile uk, i dont want to brick my tab
thanks

It should not delete any data.
The browser and camera have been improved.
The browser now scrolls smoother.
The camera focus's much better.
No idea what other improvements have been made.
It does not really matter which firmware you wish to use BUT bear in mind a number of users who have performed a lagfix have had issues in upgrading the ROM.
You MUST ensure you remove any lagfix applied otherwise you stand a good chance in bricking the phone.
Also, ensure you have access to the Recovery and download mode.
You will need this if you 'brick' the phone.

You need someone who is on a T-Mobile locked phone to answer this. I have heard of users on carrier networks who have run into issues.
Basically, unless you have a sound knowledge in what you are doing I would not attempt it until you get good solid advice.

seems like a long procedure, I'll hold off until i'm done with my exams....
also should I try KIES again? just in case ?? o.0

You can try but I'd still make sure you have access to recovery and download first, just in case anything goes wrong.

Aight !! thanks a bunch !! will do

Got a similar problem... info says its P1000XXJID, valid euro firmware... Bought the tab in Hungary (Middle of europe), carrier free, and after looking at samfirmware.com's ROM list I was wondering about the updates.
Kies tells me this version can't be updated...
Can anyone help me with this problem?

Many, Many of us here in UK are having problems and are unsuccessful when trying to update/upgrade using Kies.
Hopefully Kies will get fixed properly to allow us all to use it.

Even ActiveSync was better... at least it didn't offer the SW update...

to trick kies to update u could use kies registry patcher. I have sucsessfully updated via kies from jj3 -> jj7 (when no updates was availible)
read thru this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863386
Use the info from check fus and paste it in registry patcher, reboot pc - start kies - connect phone - something should happen.

Need official PDA, MODEM & CSC version of India.

Hi,
Anyone pls help me. I need the official PDA, MODEM and CSC files for my Galaxy S. I tried flashing it and by mistake i chose wrong CSC and MODEM files. Since Froyo is officially launched in India, i want to install the official version through KIES. But I think i just messed up with the wrong files.
Pls help..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913

I referred to the same thread and flashed my SGS with this link
ASIA
I9000TGYJH1|2.1|2010 August|Download
Now the phone language is Chinese.! I think the MODEM and CSC files for India are different.
Pls help.

2.1 = Eclair anyway.. think the ones for India are in:
I9000DDJP6|2.2|2010 November

try to change csc from phone
type *#272*IMEI#
where imei is your imei code, from there select your csc, phone will reboot and make a factory reset.

Tried changing CSC from phone..
It says "UNKOWN APPLICATION" after entering the code.

Any help corgar?

Firmware version - 2.2
Baseband version - I9000DDJP2
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number - FROYO.DDJP6
i guess this is indian version of froyo

I9000DDJP6|2.2|2010 November|Download Link1 or Link2
but i can't check if it's a full package, if not you need to flash first another full rom like jm9 then upgrade to ddjp6

Thanks corgar,
I am downloading the same package. Lets see if it has the MODEM and CSC.

another way you can take is using kies registry hack here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
choose your csc and patch registry. After open kies and try to flash. But for me kies is evil i still prefer flashing via odin

after some searching product code for indian is I9000 [India] = GT-I9000HKAINU
you need to patch INU then.
hope this will help

Downloaded the I9000DDJP6 firmware but it doesn't have MODEM and CSC.
Downloaded the KIES Registry hack and Spoofed it to INU. Which you said is India.
Now KIES says Firmware upgrade is available. And its showing,
Latest Version: PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5
Is it correct? Is this the one for India?

try to search in general section but i think it's the indian one.

Its kind of weird that i m spoofing KIES to India only and it says Update available and without spoofing it says no update. Kies is really evil...!

Checked in the general section. Its the same PDA:JP6 / PHONE:JP2 / CSC:JP5 for India.
Dont know why i cant update without Registry Hack.! Weird.
Thanks Corgor for your time and help.
Have a good day.!

The one you downloadedis a single package if its named JP6_JP5_U_JP2.tar. You need to put in in PDA in Odin with re-partition checked & flash.

Thanks Ragin and Corgar, the issue is solved now. I m back on Froyo.
But the usual problem of SGS is not fixed. "Lagging"! Any help which lag fix i should install? I searched a got many results but since i am new in this, dont want to take risk again.
Thanks for the help..!

Search for a kernel and flash it as pda in odin. I'm on speedmod atm. Enter recovery and choose lagfix and tweaks.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Search for hardcore's speedmod kernel in DEV. download the latest stable Odin version. Put your phone into download mode & flash via Odin. Pull the battery, & go into recovery, & apply first the Tweaks. Reboot & check if you are satisfied with the snappiness/speed. I am sure you will be. If not, go into Recovery again & enable lagfix.
You can also try Trasig's kernel based on VooDoo.

Try another video, could be a file problem. If it keeps rebooting, try a factory reset.

Well my friend this is one of the oldest firmware and almost all the issues are already solved with the new firmwares
U connect the phone to Wifi and search for OTA and update
Or connect the phone to PC and check update using kies and see there will be new update
Note once u update the device do reset the device for error free experience
for that go to setting / accounts / back&reset and reset the device
All problem will be solved

Thx my friend
i try it but i get message : the latest update have already been installed
what can i do now

Try this from Sammobile for Telnor
If you want a Generic Norwegian version change TEN in the firmware to NEE, you will need to register to download
Download the zip, extract the md5 and flash with Odin PDA

- Can you show your CSC? It is important thing to check when you want to download the firmware. Check your CSC with Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
- You can also open this Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser' to download the firmware for your device.
