[Q] Is my Tab's firmware genuine? - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone
So I have Tab 10.1 which I bought in June... Later on I rooted it, a while ago before the touchwiz firmware update came out. Once that came out, I tried to update it numerous times (im not sure whether the tablet was still rooted or not when I tried to update) and the update failed continuously... Anyhow, don't ask me why I did this but I erased my system in the bootloader!!! I didnt realise that it was literally the OS I was clearing.... Eventually I found a firmware file on the internet for it and flashed it... Previously my Tab was running the HMJ37 UEKMB firmware, now it is running the Europe HMJ37 XXKFC firmware which has touchwiz already...
Now what I want to know is, is this firmware genuine, and will I be able to recieve future updates on it such as ICS when they are released? If not is there any place where I can find the UEKMB firmware to flash to my Tab??

It doesn't matter if it's genuine, don't use stock firmwares anyways. Custom ROMS are better. Wait till someone on this forum develops a sick ICS ROM.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

So, what is the coolest rom available at the moment for my Tab?? Just rooted it but duno what rom I could install.... Preferably one with more customized UI on top of TW... I saw a few pictures of home screens set about the windows phone 7 look... Is there a rom for that?

please refer here mate..

You can get samsung official firmware from them: http://m.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
But I prefer "In Paris" by Task650 and Phantom.

Why does my tab think it's a I/O

I had some fun messing with some other roms but would like to get it back to stock to get the official touchwiz update. I took all the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 to take it back to stock and i can only get the 11.22mb update that includes movies. I can't get the touchwiz update. I have the U.S. Retail Wifi 16GB grey model. Any help would be great. Sorry in advance if this is a redundant post but i could not come to a solution that worked for me from any of the other posts. Thanks
EDIT: When i connect it to Samsung Kies it says "This version of the device cannot be updated" Current firmware version: PDA:KG4 / CSC:KG4 (XAR)
Im begining to think this may be a blessing in disguise lol. It seems that not many people like the touchwiz update so maybe i should be happy with my tab thinking it`s an i/o tab. Im guessing if we eventually get the 3.2 update, i should still be able to get it this way.

It's because, the only OTA version available is from the I/O tab. Therefore, whoever, initially rooted the retail version to installed the TW based roms in the dev section, and then went back to stock, they got the I/O tab version of 3.1, including myself. There are other people who are looking for the retail version of 3.1 in odin form. Anyway, I have backed up the rom in case there's an update for i/o tab. In the mean time I'm enjoying the deodex version of TW posted by doc.

I had this issue as well, fortunately I had made a backup of my system before doing anything with it, so I was able to restore to that and have the update become available.
That said - I'm running Doc's slim and it is leaps and bounds snappier than stock.

[Q] Cannot update 10.1 WIFI to Touchwiz UX

I recently got a 10.1 Wi-Fi. It came with the TouchWiz update preinstalled. I rolled back to stock 3.1 to see what it was like and now am trying to go back to TouchWiz.
The tablet updates from stock 3.1 to the build number UEKG4 (an ~11MB update)
After this, the tablet says No Update Available when checking for updates. Plugged in USB using the Samsung Kies program, the tablet is recognized, but there is no firmware information listed.
Stock rom, stock recovery and cannot update any further? Anyone have ideas or somewhere they can point me to resolve this?
Thanks

I believe you used the stock 3.1 ROM of a I/O tab. not the retail one.
I/O tabs have not received any TW update till now.
If you want to go back to touchwiz please flash the "ROM | 001002-P7510_KME_Restock.zip" from http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=20 using ODIN
Worked perfectly!
Thanks a ton!
i have a stock tab that i've had since a few days after they were released and dont have touchwiz and every time i look for an upgrade it says that nothing is available.... shouldnt there be one out? Am i doing something wrong? thanks for the help.

[Q] HC 3.2 update still not available for my Canadian P7510XXXKG6

Hi Guys, I've been waiting for the HC, anxiously for a long time now, but some how I still can't see it being available on my SGT 10.1. I bought mine from Canada but now I have it here in Finland (it should not make any difference), but thought I'd mention it.
My model No :- GT-P7510
Build No: HMJ37.XXKG6 P7510XXKG6
I've had my Tab for a few months now, and love it. Its rooted but haven't loaded any custom Roms. I know that I can use the CWM to flash the many optimized HC 3.2 ROMS out there, but I wanted to know why I am unable to see the 3.2 update OTA or using Kies. I just get a message that no updates are available, and I am running the latest version. I tried searching for the issue, but it seems not many ppl have this problem.
This is getting annoying, so if anyone has any ideas, please let me know (I am getting desperate ). I was thinking of Fac reseting the device, and creating another samsung account (maybe). What do you all think. But I dont want to screw up the tab, by messing around too much, so any help would be appreciated, thanks
From what I understand 3.2 is still not released for Canada
Sent from my GT-P7510
Canadian firmware has a history of being as much as 6 months behind on Galaxy i9000 -- could be the same for the Tablet
Thanks guys I guess I should just wait; on the bright side, atleast now I know what the issue is, thanks again!

Trying to unroot...but won't update.

Hi all, I successfully unrooted using this guide here:http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/
But my problem is that his "stock" file that I flashed is an I/O Stock rom, so it won't receive any official updates after the first 11mb update. (won't update to 3.2 Touchwiz)
I would like to give this tablet to a family member and I want them t receive official updates (Like ICS) in the future, so I basically need to get my Tablet back to the point where it can receive official updates.
I did a little more digging trying to find a stock rom and found this rom "hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip(StockROM)", from this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 but it appears to be the same file for I/O as before.
I then found this link here, to a European Stock Touchwiz update rom, "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250" But I'm afraid since its european, it is still not my original stock rom I had for my Tablet I bought in the USA.
Can anyone help?
i have the same problem... but i'm from Malaysia..
although from one of the guide, it says Asian Stock TW, after odin, my device doesnt seem to be recognised by KIES for any official update... also notice that the build number is different from actual Asian version (compared this with my friend's tab)
btw, from samfirmware, the zip file contain 3 files (data, csc and bootloader)..
i only flash the data and csc(as suggested in the guide)... do i need to flash the bootloader too? could that be the reason why i cant get KIES update?
btw, if your from the US, hav u tried the guide from "filesfordummies"?
i think thats the stock US version of the tab...
Do you have a nandroid backup? if you have restore that backup and you have an actually.
Sorry but my english is very bad

[Q] How to Unroot Or Upgrade to 3.2 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi Only (GT-P7510)

I'm new to this forum & to android systems.This is my first android device.
I bought a Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (wifi)GT-P7510 recently.Since I could not find my language on it I rooted it .But after I installed tiff files by replacing the existing one/s I couldn't boot the tab.So I had to use a backup(given on the rooting package) that has been saved on my tab. As a result now I have a rooted tab with HC 3.1 . I want to have 3.2 which I had when I bought the tab. I cannot get updates since its rooted.I cannot return to stores bcos its rooted.I cannot sell it for a reasonable price b'cos it has an older version.
Could someone help me please either to unroot in 3.1 or to updagrade to 3.2 (rooted) or to android 4.0
Thank you
Details of my device:
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi (GT-P7510)
Build number HMj37.UEKG4
Kernel version:2.6.36.3
I think the answer most people would like to give you: use the search function!
But since I'm in a good mood today.. go to sammobile.com, register and go to the firmware page, search (!) for "p7510" and get the firmware you desire (version/country). For the flashing part, well.. let's just say you can find that out yourself, maybe there's a guide on the same site as well.. (could it be?)

thanks for your advice.
I checked for the firmware of my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (UEKG4)
I could not find the firmware .It was bought in The Netherlands.

Well, for The Netherlands you should take the latest firmware for Europe (or Open Europe, don't know the difference, just take most recent). After you flash that, you'll probably get XEN as your code.
