Updated to 2.2.1

Previously when i updated to 2.2. It lagged very much every where. Even the virtual keyboard used to open with a short delay but now finally updated to 2.2.1 Baseband I9000XXJPY and believe me its fast. All the lag problems are almost gone. Option to update firmware directly from handset now available.

What is your product code? XEU ? mine DBT and i'm desperately need to update to 2.2.1

off update or flash?

Be interesting to know when this will be implemented. Currently only shows "unable to connect to server". Elsewhere on the forum there is a thread on a new version of Kies. http://tinyurl.com/368p4a7
Anyway I agree it is fast, pretty well lag free and I am getting satisfactory battery life after dumping some apps that I no longer needed after update. I do use Juice Defender BTW.

Mine connects to the server (you must have a Samsung account) but reports no updates available.

Have you logged into that at the Update section? I only got the error message you mention prior to entering that information.

Have you reseted the phone after 2.2.1?
I haven`t, the phone was very fast and every apk was working then after swapping batteries it freezed on boot for 2min then reseted itself, all numbers gone,
I`m really affraid this gone happen again, because I switch often between batteries.

Yes I am logged in. Just tried again as a matter of interest and it spent 2 mins "connecting to server" and then disconnected with a brief message flash which said "connection failed". Maybe it's a regional thing. I'll come back to it in a week or so.

No problem. Froze on one app (now uninstalled) and had to remove battery to reset and boot.

Could be regional. Where are you? I'm in the UK. This update seems regional specific as, when I did a factory reset, UT asked me which SIM scheme I was on; o2 postpay, o2 prepay or Tesco.

I'm in Finland. Certainly sounds regional and/or operator. Seem to remember reading that one of the US versions used OTA updating.

mine wouldnt reset after removing system apps.. (boot loop). so i reflashed and reset immiately after install.. someone else pointed out that factory reset does not work if you have removed any system apps.. so that couldve been the reason.. havent retried cause dont want to reinstall everything.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 LE (Google I/O) Android 3.1 update is out!

Thanks to Samsung for the prompt update! Thanks to Google for the free tablet!
To update, just go to Settings->About Tablet->Software Update->Check for Updates.
If you don't have a Samsung account, you will have to create one. I'm in the US, but there wasn't a choice for that so I chose UK and it worked just fine.
It will download the update and reboot to install it. The download is pretty quick, but the update takes quite a while to apply. Once it gets to about 73% complete or so, the update inches along very slowly. So just be patient.
After the update, the lock screen background is different but all my settings were preserved.
About tablet (after upgrade):
Android version: 3.1
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build: HMJ37.UEKF3 P7510UEKF3
EDIT:
- The upgrade does not make you loose root access. This tablet really is a dream for developers.
- I don't see any evidence of any TouchWiz components anywhere. It still appears to be stock.
- Since this is a WiFi tablet, there's still no access to the Android Video Store (plus I'm rooted). Supposedly that is only enabled on 3G tablets for some reason. Oh well, who cares.
Have fun!

Hi, has it got the awful touchwiz built in or is it still "vanilla" android?
My thanks, like you, to samsung for the update and the tab

I have rooted my IO tab and froze some of the samsung system apps with titanium backup. I'm hesitant to update until I get some more information.

I don't think if touchwiz is ready yet. It will be updated later...

Does this break root or CW recovery? Or can you boot into fastboot after the update?

Same here, rooted, apps frozen with TB.... not at all worried at the quality of 3.1 update versus 3.0.1 delivered on the tab at IO but would have to fall on my ceremonial sword if I updated and ruined a lovely piece of kit by subjecting it to touchwiz... More than my honour could handle
No disrespect but not interested in comments repeating ill informed speculation from" uninformed" blogs, just want a straight answer, so if you are still online ageitgey can you tell us yes or no as regards TW - thanks

Thanks a ton!

Downloading as we speak.

There is no sign of TouchWiz in 3.1. It looks completely the same as before, except minor differences (new lock screen background, slightly different wifi icon, etc).
Root was preserved after my upgrade. RootExplorer still works fine and was granted root permissions.
I didn't have Titanium installed, so I can't comment on that. But I doubt there would be an issue.

anybody else having issues updating?
I am getting
"Failed to update firmware. Try again useing PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre."
not really sure what to do from here.

Concur, no sign of touchwiz, root preserved, titanium works fine. Bizarrely background color of text box when writing this has changed from white to blue and font is dark blue. Apps seem to work ok.
Well report other changes as and when found

onovich, you are not alone. I get the same thing.

Maybe try what it says and try kies ( latest version of course and make sure you have installed latest drivers for the tab in kies- tools menu-" install driver")

Kies says that "This version of the device cannot be updated".
OTA update doesn't work because I've rooted the ROM and installed busybox.
Probably after reverting to stock ROM via Odin OTA update will work?

Updated here, not too many changes noticeable to the end user. Wonder about USB Host - I suppose we need an adapter of some kind because of Samsung's proprietary 30pin port?

so whats the official word on updating
will it work if you are rooted , or unlocked bootloader, or both

After Update No-wifi!?

Hello, today I got my Amazon Kindle Fire! After starting an connecting to my Wifi network, I made an update, wich was available! But after installing the update I can´t find any Wifi-network! Also tried the factory reset, but didn´t work!
Can anybody help me? Is it possible to downgrade or something else??
Thx Chris

Try contacting tech support they might have something for you to flash. And if they do, you should post the files and process here. Unfortunately without solid kernel, or recovery information there's little we can do.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Hopefully, cause I don´t want send it back

After chatting with Amazon, the problem wasn´t solved! But I looked a bit more on the Amazon Homepage and found where I can download the Software Update to 6.1:
Download Link
And here is the instruction:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620
I will try it now and report what happends!

I think you already have that don't you?
When I got my KF, it immediately before I did anything updated to that version.
Code:
Current Version 6.1_user_2017120

Yes I have the one but I´ll try to run the update again manuelly, or do you think t wont work?

Masterc, didn't you say in another thread that you are in Austria?
You should mention that here if it is the case as it might affect the responses you get.

Yes thats true, but Wifi worked before I downloaded and installed the update! It also showed my name... the Amazon support told me it should work abroad..
I tried to install the update again, but it didn´t solve the problem.

So after playing around a while, the network pops up (yeahh) but when I enter the (right) passwort it always shows:
Error in conncection
unable to connect to selected access point. Please check the password you have provided
the kindle found my hotspot from my galaxy note (without password) and it connected just one time for arround 10 seconds..
Now I can´t connect again... quite intressting
Hopefully it is not the hardware - but I don´t think so otherwise I couldn´t download the update.

[Q] Android 4.4 OTA: Verification failed

I have waited all long to get this official ota update. Now when I get it, it downloads the whole 185 mb update and at the end shows 'Verification Failed'. It then gives me one option 'check now'. When I press that, it starts downloading all over again. I've downloaded this over 5 times and still getting the same thing. Please help!
My device is completely unrooted, running stock recovery, stock rom, even didn't install an app from other than Play store.
And I'm not the only one with this problem. I've seen others with this same problem in Nexus community. But no one has got any solution. Only a few of them were lucky to get it verified properly after downloading the update a few times.

My completely stock Nexus 4 has done this about 15 times up to now. Perhaps this is a country/zone issue, since I bought the phone in the UK and am using it in India?

I haven't done anything like that, though its true that I bought it in India when just one batch came imported. So it may happen like that they are thinking that my device was bought in US when actually not.
But I want a solution! Tell me if you find one.

I've finally gotten it to download and verify. I simply installed TunnelBear (VPN with monthly 500MB free), chose the UK server option, and waited. This could potentially have been a coincidence though, in which case you may have received the update as well. Have you?

[Q] Kies "cannot access the model information server"

I've been trying to update to lollipop via Kies3 for an hour or so now and i keep getting a "cannot access the model information server" error message before the update can begin. After googling the error i have disabled my firewall, tried without SD card, Sim and even tried it in safe mode with networking! Has anyone had the same issue when trying to update and if so how did you fix it?
Thanks

I'm having exactly the same issue.
I'm guessing it may be due to a large number of people trying to download lollipop at once?

Me too
Me too, exact same error, anyone got any ideas what its all about?

Been trying all day now - same thing here...
Guess it must be due to high number of concurrent users !?
Read that OTA will be available here in the Nordics in about 15 days or so - lets see if we can beat that with Kies! :fingers-crossed:

Has anyone successfully updated to 5.0 today using Kies?
