Hey all!
So I bought a Galaxy Tab 10.1 on contract a week ago. Since it's stuck with Honeycomb 3.1 my goal is to update it to 3.2.
The problem is 3.2 isn't available for my operator, that is VIP Croatia. I've tired using Kies to update it but it says I already have the latest software available and it says (VIP) at the end of the name of software version.
I'm aware that I could root it and install a generic one but my concern is that I won't be able to return it to the firmware bound to my operator in case I need to turn it in for something and using my warranty.
So if I do root it and install a generic 3.2 and I decide I want to return it to the Honeycomb 3.1(VIP) will I be able to and not lose my warranty? Will the (VIP) indicator that shows in Kies stay even if I change the software because the tablet will still be locked to my operator?
Install clockworkmod with rom manager and make a nandroid backup.
With a nandroid backup you can restore your default rom.
Save your backup to a computer to be save.

Thank you! I will try it.
Ok it worked. I just have another question. I installed this version of 3.2 which is suppoused to to be the stock one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405324
If you look at this link it was supposed to contain some of the apps like Samsung Media Hub, Amazon Kindle and this Live Panel feature. It's also supposed to bring HW Acceleration to the UI, but it still lags like before on 3.1 and increase the performance of tablet in general.
So did I install a wrong version of the firmware? It says it's 3.2 in the about section.

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.
I have been looking for answer for this for too long... so here's my story:
I got my Gt P7510 for christmas.
Background:
I rooted it with the galaxy tab hacks root(not easy way), then I messed it up and unrooted it, then I rooted it again with the easy way, then I unrooted it because I had firmware for a different region, so then I tried to update to 3.2 but I still had the wrong region so I used the 3.1 ROM from the "Messed up by 3.2? Here's a way back." post on XDA. Then I updated it to 3.2 via Kies.
Problem:
Somewhere I lost Polaris Office, and I am looking for one that was exactly like the default (had a UI with docs spinning in the middle, with new file etc. buttons on the bottom) but I don't know the build.
The ones I have found on the forums have all been for rooted and not had the UI I was looking for... So I have two questions:
Do I need to root it again to install it properly?
Can you give me a working link for the apk/necessary files and recommend a Canadian build for my GTAB(If i have to root)?
Sorry for Bugging you guys, thanks.
You have to be rooted to install this one:
http://dev-host.org/22nzqkzdaw9z/Add_Polaris_Office.zip
Just put this zip file in the "sdcard" root and install via recovery mode (CWM).
I hope it is the version you are looking for. It shows up as Polaris Office 3.0 build 5r8323-FV03
BTW, I am using Task 10 ROM and highly recommend it - in my opinion it is by far the best ROM available for the GT10.1

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.
Hi guys,
I have a p7500 16gb 4G(well in fact 3G++) and wi-fi (p7500ruxkh4)
Im in canada (quebec province) and am with rogers

honeycomb 3.1
kernel is 2.6.36.3
i rooted my tab when i got it, i remember also that i did a backup in case i would have to sent it to repair
i have superuser installed.
Now i saw a way to get ICS buy doing this :
[...]So go grab a copy of 4.0.4 for your tab by hitting MENU / SETTINGS / ABOUT DEVICE / SYSTEM UPDATE and click “check for updates”.
I use my tab a lot for work, i got plenty of apps and i need to know :
if i should do another backup of my tab now before trying to update?
if i have to reinstall everything after the update ?
if i have to unroot before trying to update?
am i gonna be able to root it again after update?
am i gonna get any real improvment on my speed/quality/daily usage with ICS ?
thanks for your help

When I upgraded to ICS all my apps and data remained intact. But since you are already rooted, go ahead and do a backup of all your user apps with Titanium Backup.
I think as long as you are still using Samsung's recovery image, you will not have to unroot your device.
From my reading of other people's upgrades, they lost root after upgrading. But you can regain root afterwords.
As far as improvements in speed/quality/daily usage; my opinion is yes. Other will argue differently but I have enjoyed ICS on my Tab.
Good Luck and click my Thanks button if this helped.
thanks for your help, am doing the backup with titanium atm
u said i could regain root after upgrading, do you have any link ? i know i know, am a bit lazy to look around sorry
i remember that it was really easy with honeycomb, i hope the maniplation is as simple with ICS

Take this with the knowledge that you are in Canada and I have a true 4G Tab. I do not know what this will do with your device but here is the procedure I used to upgrade to ICS and root my VZW Tab. I would suggest seeking the assistance of someone with the same device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444714
actually i havent lost my root
i still have superuser and titanium backup installed and working
all my apps are still there too
i only have to redo all my personnal configuration on the 5 diff homescreens (with is long but easy)
so far, combined to advance task killer, my tab is freaking fast
thanks again, i appreciate it
My sister has an original galaxy tab 10.1. I noticed it is running Android version 3.1
The tablet was purchased in the US, though she's not currently in the United States. Not sure if that matters, but she's not received any OTA update.
This is a WIFI only tablet. How can I remotely upgrade it to ICS 4.0 or Jellybean. She doesn't want any customized ROM on it.
Firstly, where can I get stock ROM for ICS 4.0?
Secondly, if I remote into her PC, I am able to see the contents of her tablet, when it is connected to her laptop. Does that help?

The link above has all the stock roms but prerooted. I flashed the rogers one for my dad through CWM the other day worked very good.
You can flash CWM recovery through odin and then update it through ROM Manager app.(That is how I did it)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
this is for the wifi version, if you have any other version you have to find the model number and search how to root it.
at the end, you will have a tab that look like stock but is rooted.
