Hello
Sorry for starting a new thread - I have looked over the site but finding it overwhelming and not able to find a specific answer.
I have also spent hours on google. I am a Mac user in an out, and have no PC in the house, so apologies in advance - HOWEVER, I use a HTC 1 phone and also a Galaxy Tablet 3 Lite SM T110. (Currently on 4.2.2 Android - I have downloaded Kies and there is no further updates for my device)
My question is, is there anyway to update from 4.2.2 to atleast Android 4.4.4? My google searches have brought back firmware matching the Galaxy tab 3 lite SM T113... I am not sure if this would still work on mine? (Sorry - Mac user )
As I am able to understand so far, I am able to use Kies to manually flash firmware onto my device? But does 4.4.4 firmware exist for it specifically, and if not, would the firmware for the T113 work...?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks!

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.
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 everyone. ...I am not sure I am posting this in the right section and if I am not I apologize. This may be a long shot but I had just acquired an RCA 7 Voyager II tablet Model # RCT6773W22 and it came with Lollipop 5.0 preinstalled on it and I cannot get it rooted at all. I tried pretty much every method I'm guessing because it's a fairly new update and no one came up with a workaround for it to root it. So my request is does anyone possibly have the factory image of KitKat 4.4 or earlier for this tablet and if not would anyone know a source where I can attain this image? Because I would like to roll it back to KitKat and root it because I know there are a few one-click programs that will root it with the older KitKat updates. And also another question I have is will I be able to use Odin to flash the image to the tablet or will I need to use another program or method? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hi, i wanted a little help from the pro guys out there.
I recently bought a Galaxy s6 (sm g920f). It was on Android 6.0.1 and i should be able to upgrade to Android 7.0. However, the software update button doesn't respond i.e it doesn't even open at all like no response at all. Then i used Smart Switch. No help there too. Then i decided to update it manually(my first try). Downloaded the firmware from Sammmobile for g920f and when everything was ready then i discovered in the download mode that the device is G920P, not G920F. I almost flashed it. Then i went to check if there were updates for the firmware of G920P. I found them and i discovered that most of the G920P were the American models of Sprint and Virgin etc but i couldn't find any sign of the Sprint/Virgin apps or logo etc. Then it occurred to me that the phone might be rooted but my brother also has an s6 which is rooted and samsung health doesn't work on it because of it being rooted. But my Samsung health app works just fine. I downloaded Root checker and it says "root hasn't been installed properly". So now i'm confused as to which firmware should i download from SammMobile and will it affect my root? If the phone is of Sprint(which i think it is) will i be unable to use my local SIM.?
Thanks in advance.
