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")

I did, it doesn't connect via kies. It just spins saying connecting. although windows has no problem recognizing it.

oh thank god, ive been checking everyday for a month
any ideas on how to get the android video store working

any official change log
is usb host mode enabled

mine says the same thing are you rooted with clockwork as your recovery?

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

IO Tab - System Update to 3.1 - Connection Failed

I can't seem to get my update to go for anything. Not rooted, no custom recovery etc.
Went to check for the update, picked UK, made a Samsung account etc. It tries to connect then I just get "Connection Failed" after it told me an update is required.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
JD

connection has been up and down tonight

same here. sometimes you get the feeling that its your tab doing this but I guess its total server failure.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118132

it seems that the servers are working now. I successfully updated my galaxy tab 10.1 to android 3.1:
http://twitpic.com/59i50t

Yep, it is working now. Woke up this morning and it had downloaded it. Just got it applied.
Time to get CW and root back..
Thanks,
JD

so we DO have to re-do the root process once we apply the update via OTA ? Dammit.

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.

Still can't enable WIFI on 2.3.5 or Aurora

Hello.
I'm sorry if it has been already discussed before, but i couldn't actually find a solution for this in here.
I got a brand new U8800 (2.2). The WIFI was working properly.
So i installed the official 2.3.5 version required to get Aurora installed. At this time i couldn't enable WIFI anymore. I did try to wipe everything more than once before and after upgrading, same story.
I saw people saying that it might be a missed IMEI problem, but i didn't lose it, but the MAC addresses for WIFI and BT are "Unknown".
After root the phone i tried to set the MAC manually using terminal emulator, and it didn't work either.
Upgrading to Aurora also didn't solve the problem, still can't get either Wifi or BT enabled.
Is there anyone who could actually solve it?
Thank you

If the MAC address for wifi and bluetooth shows 'unknown' that indicates a configuration problem because of a somehow faulty update. I do not know how to solve this problem, but in case there is no quick solution I suggest that you install the official Huawei-Gingerbread-ROM and have the unit returned then.
It is not likely that this problem occurs on the next device too - as long as the file you downloaded (the huawei update) is not corrupt. As long as you can unzip it without any error message the file should be alright and the update process should not break anything. If you know that your harddrive is very old and you believe that this could be the problem, get this checked out.
XphX

search in the forum i think there is a way to put again mac adress again with some tools... but 4 that you need to have a backup of them...

No wifi on stock ROM and MAC address reads 02:00:00:00:00:00

My G4's been working fine since i had but about a week ago i noticed it wasn't connecting to any wifi networks. It was searching but couldn't find any.
I did a hard reset and now can't get past the android set up page, as soon as it starts searching for a wifi network it locks up and then reboots after about 10 seconds.
The MAC address is listed as 02:00:00:00:00:00
I've reflashed the Stock ROM that was already on it but it's made no difference,any ideas???

Have you got root?

No never been rooted

You could try rooting your phone and changing manually the MAC with some app.

Can't get past the android setup so I can't install any apps!

Give more detailed info about your problem
Bootloader unlocked or not
before flashing on whick rom you were?
What flashing instructions you used and what guide you followed?

The bootloader isn't unlocked.
Before flashing it was on NPJS25.93-14-13/3
I reflashed using https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Just to clarify the wifi wasnt working before the flash hence the reason for reflashing

Just tried unlocking the bootloader so i can try other roms but it wont let me. Keeps telling me to tick allow oem unlock. Cant do that as i cant get past set up screen!!

are you sure you are flashing the right version for your device??? flashing wrong firmware causes the MAC id issue most of the time!

Yes definitely the right version. The MAC id problem was there before any flashing was done.

at setup screen skip the setup, if you can. I am not sure, if you can skip it or not..I don't know, what other way you can do things without unlocking the bootloader

There's no option to skip the setup unfortunately, It locks up and restarts once its trying to connect to wifi. I've tried using the mobile network but it still crashes and restarts (I'm assuming that this is because wifi is still being turned on).
I'm at a bit of a loss what to do really???
I'm not sure whats causing the issue with the wifi,flashing stock ROM hasn't helped and i'm unable to unlock the bootloader because i can't get it to boot! Any help greatly appreciated!!!

Im beginning to think that there's no way to fix this,what i can't understand is why the wifi still isn't working after reflashing stock ROM surely that should clear everything back to factory including whatevers stopping the wifi working.
Could possibly be a hardware issuei suppose ,is it possible to replace the wifi chip?

I still have the original stock rom and exactly the same problem!
The last update ****ed it over!
I will now try cache clear on stock rom before I go further
Edit - No change! Definately need a solution for this
As I have the same problem I will wait for further support so that worst case I can provide help for the other user.
Mobile Data still works tough
Phone: never rooted, after cache clear it doesnt ask for update anymore which helps
EDIT 2: Got it to work. I wsa able to get into a public wifi download the new update and all is fine.
1. Clear cache
2. public wifi or download the latest update from XDA and start manually
This should fix it!

Just to share what helped me to recover Wi-Fi and solve the MAC address 02:00:00:00:00:00:
A. Get the apk file of the Wifi Mac Changer app and install it in your phone without Wi-Fi.
B. Open it and grant root access. You'll see that your "Real" MAC address will be 02:00:00:00:00:00.
C. Then you have your "Fake" Mac Address. Copy it into the line "New Mac" and press "Hard change" button. You don't need even to reboot to restore your Wi-Fi.
D. For me, it worked at the first time, I can also uninstall the app later. Later dirty flashes of ROMs got Wi-Fi without issues.
Hope it helps.
