Following the recent success with updating my UK model P7500 to ICS using the German official software and Odin, my brother in Canada has asked me if the same sort of thing can be to his P6210 Canada version. It appears that Canada is another Samsung Tab drought area, and he says that his battery life is below expectations. - the saesman in Future Shop told him months ago when he bought it that the upgrade to ICS was only days away - pretty much the same story that I was told in the UK, but as usual Samsung have let us all down.
There is a UK version of the ICS upgrade for the 6210 that was released months ago I believe, so I was wondering if someone out there could tell me if the update is suitable for his unit... The build number of his is HTJ85B P6210XXLB2...
I found Odin a delight to use for the non-technical like me, and he is much the same - so an Odin based update procedure would be ideal.
So...... Which is the best update to use for his machine?
Thanks
This is not the correct section as this is for the original 7" tab the P1000 and variants. You need the Galaxy Tab Plus forum and they should be able to help. Also when posting questions please check if there is a Q&A section before posting in General as if there is they belong there.
Thanks

Well, now that so many have flashed their at&t tabs to the euro version, how can we be kept informed as to when a new firmware is available and do we flash the tab the same way using odin?
I am looking forward to gingerbread but am concerned that after flashing, my device may be left behind.
Thanks
You rely on the fine folks at XDA. You won't be left behind, you'll be ahead.

I am about to get a GT-P6800 from the Netherlands.
I live in Portugal.
The firmwares seem to be very "country specific" and even "carrier specific".
I'll be buying a carrier free version.
What problems can be anticipated for my usage?
Thanks

As I am sure this thread will be moved to Q&A, where it belongs, I will quickly answer, my device is also carrier-free, but it is from Hong Kong, and came with ZSLA TGY firmware (Hong Kong-based). However, I was able to flash several non-Hong Kong firmwares without any problems. SOME users, mainly from the middle east, but from other places, as well, have had problems with flashing firmware not intended for their device. I have built a ROM based on XXLA4 firmware, from Switzerland, and it appears to work with most, if not all, GTP6800's, so, if you are planning on switching firmware, XXLA4 firmwares would be a good choice. If you don't switch firmware, you should be fine...
Also, one last note, the non-ODIN ROMs in this thread will not change your radio/modem, so that relieves a major concern in terms of switching firmware.
Hope this helps.

Do not post questions in the development section!​
Thank you. It does help.
So, may I gather that updates via Kies do not correlate where Kies is being run from (i.e IP from Portugal) vs. the firmware version, in what relates to release country?
I am thinking mainly of the stock ICS upgrade, which is just around the corner...After that, it's no problem, as I intend to customize the device.
I am just worried that Kies just won't offer the ICS upgrade, if it detects the discrepancy.
(Sorry, for the wrong forum posting...Noobs will be noobs, I guess...)

I believe that is correct, although I am not a Kies user. It is correct with OTA updates...
Last weekend I bought one in the Netherlands and it had out of the box thx XXLA4 version.

Hello all!
I posted the questions below on the UK/Ireland thread yesterday, but havent had any replies yet, so trying here for better luck!
My 9505 arrived today, and cant wait to get busy with it! So reposting my questions here, in the hope that i get the answers!
I really need to find out which rooting method is suitable for this device, so I dont screw things up.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
Hi guys and gals!
I was a long time serial HTC user, and now finally have jumped ships over to Samsung , so going through a learning curve here, please bear with me!
Waiting for my S4 on OrangeUK upgrade to arrive tomorrow, so getting ready for the usual initial steps and have a few quick questions:
1 What is the model sent out by Orange, 9500, or 9505? Its a GT-I 9505
2 On XDA, what is the difference between the "Galaxy S 4 i950x Android Development", and "Galaxy S 4 i950x ORIGINAL Android Development" sections? I dont get it...
3 Is the Orange UK S4 all ok to root, sim unlock etc as we currently stand? Which method is the recommended one?
(I ask, since having trawled the forums previously, have seen that this changes according to latest software versions etc until devs catch up; easier to ask quickly here than read 300 pages and still be confused )
4 Which is the best/easiest method to unbrand and change the carrier designator, so I end up with an unbranded stock/sim free model designator and ROM? Is it worth doing?
Want to get rid of the Orange crapware, AND be able to get future updates, since on my HTC Sensation removing the crapware changed the hash value of the system software, and subsequent updates would never install anymore)
Thanks in advance guys, looking forward to your replies and starting off with my S4!
OK, after playing around for awhile, it seems that happily ive been sent a stock version! ie no Orange crapware etc... :good:
Ive updated the software to i9505xxuame2, with OTA.
Still uninformed as to the best root method to use, so any advice will be appreciated!
Well, no one answered so I tried the following method and it worked great!

Hi all,
I am in Australia have got an i9300 Galaxy S3 I bought from Kogan.com.au.
They source their phones from somewhere in europe, I think it may have been France, as a result I'm not sure what modem firmware I shuold be installing. I managed to connect the dots to upgrade to the version I am now on, but don't want to install the wrong firmware and risk bricking my device.
Current Baseband: i9300BVELK1
I am having extremly bad issues with the phone constantly freezing when I try using it, this appears to be a common issue with this phone. I had zero issues with it when I was running a 10.1 nightly from March this year, since upgrading 2 weeks ago I had to upgrade the radio to get the signal strength to appear, now the phone is buggered!
See attached 'about phone' screenshot.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello
I am new to this forum and definitely to the aspect of upgrading the OS. I own Note 3 SM-900A which I bought online. It is factory unlocked. I am using it in India since 2014. There has been no problem ever since. But I have now realised that many apps don't work including Google Assistant on current OS 4.3. I wish to upgrade it. However I face a problem when I try OTA upgrade that no upgrades are available. This is understandable as I am not part of AT&T network.
I guess the only option left is root and upgrade. Therefore my queries:-
1. How does one go about it?
2. Which version of OS do I install and where do I get it form?
3. Do I have to install custom ROM? Can't I simply download pure OS and install it?
Sorry for sounding like a newbie... I am one thought.

Are you sure you are pointing me too the right forum. They seem to be discussing about spotting the difference between the real and fake phones. Mine is not such case.
You need to read that post .
Models are listed and forums linked.
