I'm trying to update my Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the latest firmware (PDA:KME) that includes TouchWiz (I got mine recently right after they halted distributing that firmware and it just became available again). I've tried OTA and through Kies, neither of which is working.
My device was rooted. I'm running the stock ROM with a custom kernel, and ClockworkMod Recovery.
When I try to update via Kies, the firmware is downloaded at which point the device seems to reboot into ODIN3 Download Mode. There is a green Android guy and it says "Downloading . . . Do not turn off target". In the Odin log it says "Connected! Press the Start of Odin3. I press Start in ODIN but nothing happens nor do I expect anything to happen since there is nothing selected in ODIN to upload to the phone. So I have to hold the power button and reboot without any changes.
If I try to update via OTA, I can initiate a Download. I then can click Install. After a few seconds I click OK to reboot the device. The update goes to 13% and then stops. The device reboots and I'm back with the old firmware still. I eventually get a message that the firmware failed to be updated.
What should I do?
Part of Kies update process is to boot the tablet into download mode and Kies, not ODIN, will push down the firmware bits automatically. You are not supposed to launch ODIN at all. Keep the Kies running and it will finish all the process for you.
You only use ODIN if you want to flash a firmware you already downloaded manually.
Kies and OTA updates will probably be similar. So, if your phone is rooted and can't update OTA, you will likely get the same issue via Kies.
Hmmm. Not sure what to do then. I'm not launching ODIN myself on the Tab. When the Tab reboots after downloading the update via Kies, it goes into ODIN download mode by itself. Using OTA, it reboots correctly but just doesn't finish the update process.
I tried reflashing the stock recovery but that didn't change the failed result.

That is correct. And Kies should supposedly begin sending down the firmware after it sees the tab is in download mode, not before. Here is what Kies does in order:
1. Detect your tab's current model # and firmware version and check to see if there is an update.
2. Download the update from internet to the PC.
3. Reboot the tab into download mode.
4. Detect your tab is in download mode and start to send the firmware down to the tab.
5. Upon receive all the firmware bits, tab will start the update process by itself.
It is called download mode, not ODIN download mode. ODIN is an unofficial tool to flash firmware (there are other tools that can do exactly what ODIN does), not related to download mode although it requires download mode to push down the firmware.
There are instructions for finishing up the OTA update when you have CWM installed. You need to boot the tab into recovery mode and clear all the cache data.
Thanks for trying to help me through this. Still not getting it to work.
I didn't see any specific instructions for updating via OTA with CWM installed. What i did was boot into recovery, wipe the cache, wipe the dalvik cache, reboot and download the update again. Clicked install, OK to reboot. It went through 13% of the install process and then stopped, rebooted, and indicated the update failed.
Perhaps I should just run a custom ROM instead. That's what I've done on my original Droid but I haven't had a chance to look through the ROMs for the Tab to find a suitable one.
Quite frustrating.
Well, if you ever installed custom bits (kernels and CWM), you should not expect OTA update be successful at all. You have to stick with custom ROMs.
Personally, I see no value to install CWM on the table if you're not flashing custom ROMs since it has been proven not working well with OTA updates.
I'm running a custom kernel, just not a ROM yet. But I think I'll just try to find one I like and do that instead.
I have received the OTA update for my stock rooted 4.3 device. When I tell the system to update, it reboots into recovery, which for me is TWRP. If I go to "install" it defaults to the sdcard/downloads folder and there is a file there called: ota_M7_UL_SENSE55-MR_TMOUS_4.19.531.10-3.24.531.3_release_351678 If I choose to "install" this, there's a bunch of error messages, first with "unable to locate zip" (references a specific file), followed by an "assert failed" and the "error executing update binary..."
I will assume that this is because of the fact that I'm rooted and have TWRP.
It's important for me to be stock (I need the TM WiFi calling) and I want to retain root. Given that, how can I update to Kit Kat?
You'll have to flash back to stock recovery and redo the OTA (or, if you know where the OTA file is on your device, boot into stock recovery and select that file for the update).
You will most likely loose root, but it's easy enough to reflash TWRP and superuser to get root back, I would imagine.

I found and flashed a stock recovery and then reran the OTA update. It appeared to have gone all the way through the process. When I reboot the device I get a pink screen that blinks with white dashes, and it does get to an HTC One splash screen with a blue beats audio icon (different than in 4.3). It never gets passed there.
I am able to adb and fastboot at that screen, so I was able to reflash TWRP, and tried rebooting, but get stuck at the same spot. I had done a TWRP backup a couple weeks ago, so I restored that so that at least I'm functional again.
Any advice on how to get 4.4 on this device?
When I was unlocked and rooted on 4.3 I relocked the bootloader, ran the 4.3 RUU and was able to get the OTA update then re-unlock and re-root
Basically, I did the same thing gwingzero said he did in this post
I rooted and installed TWRP recovery. I want to update my stock rom with the OTA update. The update is downloaded to my phone, but won't update, re-boots and goes into TWRP. I think I need to first install a stock recovery, but I can't find one. If I find the stock recovery will that allow me to update OTA.

As long as you haven't modified your rom you should be able to take the OTA with a STOCK recovery. You can find them here.
Also you might want to unroot before taking the OTA then reroot afterwards.
Got the ota and clicked install by mistake with stock recovery and root. It failed and had to do a battery pull to get it to boot. So yeah I'd unroot just in case.
I unrooted and installed stock recovery, but update failed?
I think I f-ed up. I wanted to do a clean firmware install, so downloaded and installed the full OTA package from Firmware Finder for my current FW (C636 119).
The phone installed and boots/reboots/works fine. But when I try to get into recovery mode, I get an error message: installation failed.
Any idea what I can do? Will this affect future OTA updates?
I received the recent ota update but I'm not able to install the update. As soon as the download finishes and proceeds with installation, the error pops up "system update installation failed"(picture attached). Tried downloading and installing the update multiple times
