http://www.samsunghub.com/2011/05/16/samsung-announces-android-2-3-update-for-its-galaxy-devices/
Guess it's on its way. I'm wondering how the update will roll out to Wifi only versions or the tablets that aren't currently using a carrier.
Today i got a message thru Kies that i could update my firmware to gingerbread (although the message gave a series of numbers and letters). I tried to update my Tab, but after downloading, the installation of the new firmware failed. Could that be because i have my Tab rooted? How do I solve this problem. Your help will be much appriciated.

i think you should go to samfirmware and flash your old rom then maybe u can update
or if u've already ur stock rom and u just root it . u just do hard reset factory , then am sure u can update

Agreed. Let us know if you have any more issues.
Thanks for your quick help. I will do a hard reset as i have stock rom witch i have rooted in order to make backups, use droidwall and Samba. Titanium backup can prove its use now :-D
Hope the upgrade will work, thanks anyway.

Pardon me for the possible ignorant question, but how can I update my Sprint Tab since I won't be activating it on Sprint?

Hopefully, Samsung will push it over WiFi... If not, the good people of XDA will inevitably provide a ROM on here. You will either get it in a timely manner or have to hold your balls and ROM it (if you haven't done it before). Even if you have, it can sometimes be a scary procedure.
Short answer... Yes. Long answer... Above.
hmm any word on how far the update is? is it still only italy that got it?
Dont really wanna use odin to update our 120 Galaxy tabs (or the 300 that we are getting in ~1 month time).

The only qualm I have is loosing the phone function of the tab if we ever get a honeycomb update. I hope samsung provides an app for that.

I use sipgate with the sipdroid app to push calls over VOIP. Works well enough for me. Can send and receive calls. I am only on WiFi so I imagine, it'd work that much better over the 3G network.
As far as a possible release date? No idea... Their words are that they'll start mid-May through Kies in Europe and it'll feather out. Since Sprint versions don't work with Kies, it may up to Sprint to push the updates here (which may take a long while) or if Samsung is really aggressive, maybe we'll see it through them.
Since Kies is the main avenue of pushing it, I wouldn't anticipate it soon. May be worth following the Honeycomb ROM (DONATE TO THIS CAUSE) and taking the time to flash it. Then brag that you have cheap Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs for sale in your store.

I'm also curious about this, but perhaps it would be better in a new thread for people to post their country and a confirmation once it's available over Kies.
I've started a thread to list confirmed countries here, please add to it as and when it becomes available in your country: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1086484
When are we going to have something to convert our i9505 to i9505g google edition? That supports OTA.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i understand that OTA functionality will bring updates easily but i think that if you already have the technical know-how to be able to convert a i9505 to a GE, OTA updates would be the least of your worries...

I have an int. 9505 on order, I want to run on it stock Google edition Android Un-Rooted with OTA capabilities too, I understand the friend and I share his interest, I'm not a fan of custom roms, no argument how *safe* it's android, I favor stock Un-Rooted rom on devices I use every day with all my personal info like passwords, credit cards, pins, etc
Sent From my Un-Rooted GT-N7100
really don't understand everyone's obsession with OTA... chances at the moment are very slim, due to different bootloader and partitions... however this may soon change. In the mean time there are plenty of Google Edition roms available.

The 4.2.2 rom is official. But why do you care so much about OTA? there will be a OTA every 3-4 months. Not daily,weekly,monthly.
ALot of people think Nexus devices get alot of updates but thats not the case. Last update for My Nexus 10 + Nexus 4 was 4months ago -.-

OTA updates will be so few and far between they're a complete irrelevance. Look at the Google roms on here, some of them have received over ten updates already. As for being 'Official', exactly why does that matter? Do you think having an 'Official' Google edition rom on your I9505 will make getting it repaired by Samsung any more likely should something go wrong? You will have still voided your warranty regardless.
We want stock I9505GE so we can use the full memory of the phone. So complete official and new partitions..
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition from the Play Store in the US; the thing is I'm going to use it in Europe (in Italy to be precise), so I was wondering whether or not it's fully "compatible" with the standards over here since I know that the US & EU versions are slightly different especially for what concerns LTE and the # of cores.
Will the battery be drained by the absence of the LTE network (like 3G does when the connectivity is low) or not?
Further and most important, does the S4 sold onto the Play Store have the SIM card or what?
Is it slower than then the EU edition (non GE, obviously) as it apparently has less cores?
Is there any other drawback that should prevent me from buying it?
Thank you!

Hardware wise is exactly the same, so no worries here. Just tell me how are you going to buy and ship it to Europe?. As far I know the play store is region locked.

Still, I thought it might be more convenient money-wise to buy in the US. Further, isn't the bootloader blocked in the ones that are NOT Google?

Hi MaKTaiL
Will it be OK for me to flash a USA Google edition rom on my UK I9505, i.e.. what about the difference in basebands (radio part)? would my 4G still work?
Most of the Google edition roms on XDA seem to be experimental or pre release roms at present?
Thanks in advance bud.

Yes, it will work just fine. I'm currently using the 4.3 leak, everything is working perfectly, despite it being a leak.
I'll PM you in a few minutes with the download link for an untouched Google Edition ROM (no mods, no root, simply stock) and all the instructions.

Sorry for the late reply, I was at work. I'll PM you both in a few minutes.
I got it from a thread on Galaxy S4 AT&T forums. The guy made an untouched rom for both AT&T and i9505 versions.
The thread got really famous around the internet and Samsung found out about it and asked XDA to close it.
It was sad but I had the lastest version here with me already, so I uploaded for you guys. :good:
PS.: And no, you won't get updates directly. You will have to wait for the system dump and for someone to make a flashable zip of it.
I'm sure it won't take long for it when the update comes. Hahahahahaha. People on XDA are really fast.

I dont know how to flash the Odin version though. You cant flash bootloader nor the modem for example. It is safer to flash the zip. But do as you like and tell us if it worked.

You are running a custom ROM. Do not take an official OTA update for a device it was not originally meant for. You have to wait until a DEV updates the ROM you are on or until another custom ROM comes out built on 4.4.

Either it won't let you take it or soft brick. You have the same hardware as Google Play Edition, so a hard brick shouldn't be a worry. I read earlier in the T-Mobile s4 area of someone trying to take the update. I forget the exact result, but I know they were unsuccessful
