One last thing maybe resetting your Samsung account and making sure it syncs. There are a few threads here about that, and this may affect update roll out.

Otherwise, I'm out of league. Sorry I can't be of more help. Always hard to understand how manufacturers decide these roll out sequences ....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jye75:
Forgive my ignorance, but what Samsung account are you referring to to sunc with the gtab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Absolutely, all hacked ROMs in the dev forum are complete failures. Countless issues and crashes.

This oiffical TW ROM from Samsung is far superior to anything the amateurs can do in the dev forum and it shows.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jye75:
Seems clear, throughout most of your posts, that you have something against xda devs... So, if that's the case, why are you here?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Im not against anyone I just find it annoying that these "devs", if you can even call them that, post these hacked bug ridden, unstable roms and dont even acknowledge or list ANY of the known issues in the OP so that people can make a decision to flash or not. IMO if they listed all the known issue those ROMs have no one would even think about flashing that junk onto their units.

Its sad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordscipio:
Hum, well the easiest way to root your tab is here, watch the video and it will all make sense, it literally takes like 5min:

http://www.galaxytabs.com/2011/07/how-to-root-the-galaxy-tab-10-1-video/

Once you have rooted, simply:

1. download the ROM from the OP in this thread

2. put it on your SD card

3. go back to cwm like you did when rooting (cwm is the orange menu where you can flash stuff)

4. Create a backup. This is a backup of everything in your system and you will use this in case you need to go back to your system the way it is now.

5. Create a backup of your apps using Titanium. This will back up each app plus the data associated with them, once you install the new rom, if you wiped/factory reset all your apps will be gone, so using titanium to restore them will bring them back the way you had them set up.

Then you can install the rom following the instructions in the OP (clearing cache, ets)

You will not lose anything on your SD card, it will be safe. When you wipe/clear/factory reset it doesnt touch your files in your SD, it only clears all your apps and the data associated with them, hence why you want to back them up and restore them with Titanium. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] lordscipio:
Im in phx as well, the update was available for me this morning, not sure why you would ever want to take the ota as it unroots your tab and locks the bootloader, go with starburst instead, you can always go back to stock if you made a backup and dont like it.

rooted 32gb retail, stock rom, grey silver
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] K Rich:
Kind of a silly question, but if I have ROMS on the sd that I have no use for, I can delete them without any harm, correct?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Well, the official update instructions here:

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...=2&PROD_SUB_ID=2098&PROD_ID=2103&AT_ID=380498

(Says you need samsung account and have to remove pulse, contact widget, etc)

And samsung account registering guide here:

(Also search this forum if you run into problems, %s sosome have)

Good luck!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jnn1:
Yes. (And xda demands i write more than a simple yes)

Thanks for the quick reply!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MMcCraryNJ:
Just got done flashing the newest TW from the Development section using CWM. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but for me, home screen transitions lag a ton more with TW than it did with stock. This is even after I let the ROM sit for 10 minutes and removed all of the widgets that were all over the place. Lots of stuttering while switching even blank homescreens.

Window transitions are a lot slower too I'm finding. Bringing up the settings panel on the bottom right seemingly takes forever to pop up, whereas on the Vanilla rom, it just appeared.

I don't know, I'm going to give it a little while, but I'll probably end up going back to my nandroid backup sans TW.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jye75:
Can anyone verify, is this update ONLY for WiFi only GTabs? Or is it for 4G ones as well?

Edit: just read an article that hinted this update might not be for Verizon 4G tabs, and that ours would come at a later date possibly...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] merophosis:
I think that some things got better, but I really dislike that you can't uninstall apps from the app "drawer" like before (by long pressing and dragging to the upper right corner to uninstall the app).

Also, what's up with Words With Friends?? I don't want it on my tab and can't uninstall it? This is the kind of stuff Samsung does that's really annoying and unnecessary. I wish we had an option to avoid the update and wait for a different update from Google. Honeycomb will keep getting better viz Google, not Samsung.

I agree that screen transitions got smoother in the app drawer and homescreen, the browser was worked on to be a little more like Chrome and stock browser..but then there's that ugly grey bar and really cliche nav keys..

There are definitely pros and cons to this update, but I wish some things were more customizeable/untouched from stock Honeycomb..

My two cents..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ianken:
Install failed for me. Presumably due to the alternate recovery...

Wondering if diceplayer and 720p high profile is broken like on the leaked versions.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ianken:
I generally stay away from 'cooked' roms as a rule. Repackaging bits frequently results in weirdness...

But its not sad. It's just folks sharing their enthusiasm.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NPuter:
Huh? I'm 100% stock right now... so far today I have had the browser crash about 20 times along with two soft boots...

Thank you - I'm going to try it out tomorrow.

And did you mean the op in the stock touchwiz thread I posted?

Edit: I assume I don't have to root my current rom (only flash CWM) - I would rather have a 100% stock backup...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] capufo:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HUNZwiebel:
Can I update later?

Hi guys!

I have a question about this touchwiz update. I checked whether I can update my Tab or not. It showed that I can, so I pressed later. (I fear of this update, because some of the negative opinion, like faulted screen...) One "two-side-arrow" appeared on the notification bar near the clock. Now it's disappeared and I got an dialog box, what warned me that it's downloaded the update. Will I am update it now? I pressed later. Now can I update it anytime? Or for example if I restart my Tab will it update itself automatically?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
It downloaded it. If the arrow goes away, then just do the settings and check for update again. If it sees the file preciously downloaded it will prompt to install now. If not, it'll redownload it.

I installed mine once it went live at 1140pm (CST) Thursday and didn't go to sleep until 2am. Lol. So as you can see I didn't take the route you did. However my first attempt failed before it started. I hoped it would just allow me to retry but since it had already unpacked the file.... I had to redownload. At least that is what I assume. It would be good if you could report the experience when you reattempt to update. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HUNZwiebel:
Ok thanks! So I can update it when I'm want, but it won't update itself automatically?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
Correct. It prompts you before it will attempt to install the update.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] K Rich:
Gotta say, I'm not crazy about the colors, but everything is so smooth and working flawless right now!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djchad72:
I sorta like the new scheme. Its cool and fresh looking. It seems more modern computing to me. When Android gets all dark and such, it reminds me of old mainframe CRT displays. Lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
48 hours on and still no sign of this for I/O tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HUNZwiebel:
Thanks!

I read on the Samsung's update site that I must't plug it to the charger while it's charging. What do you think of it? Only because I thought that it's more safer if I plug in it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] amos.max:
Font size in Widget

Hey, thx for the tip, but that only seems to change the font size in the app - not in the Home Screen widget.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] NPuter:
So I just flashed touchwiz and I'm not 100% sold yet...

I hate the new look. The dark styling look a lot better in my opinion.

however, the speed improvements and bug fixes are amazing... finally the typing lag is gone - however, the new browser is ugly...

I miss the old notification bar - this one is too big...

I'll keep it for a few days and then flash back to vanilla honeycomb and see which I like better.

Like most others, I would love touchwiz with the default AOSP theme - Samsung went a little overboard in changing the graphics..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] capufo:
Im getting tired i mayjust say F and live my life with out touchwiz. I cant get the update and samsung just keep telling me thatthe server is down
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kritonas:
I then tried kies, it failed, and i had to do an emergency recovery whoch failed too. I did a cwm restore, it worked. But booting without the padlock. So back to square one with a locked tab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] datapunkk:
Yes. I had to do it manually. Who wants to wait for an OTA when its on XDA lol
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cosimoss:
I presume people are still waiting or is just the ones with the I/O?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Googamooga:
I have a Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy tab, still waiting. Can't get it via Kies, either.

Im tired of trying to update, it seems like its not only us but a few other ppl too. I called samsung on saturday, all they said to me was. The servers are down do to the masssive downloads, s o try tomorrow. I tried again on sunday n nothing its monday already n nada here. I know there is a rom made by the developers with the new tw update but i have no clue how to install it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] leo876:
I am truly enjoying my GT10.1 especially after the update. Screen transitions are buttery smooth and apps open almost instantly. I have about 140 apps loaded up on my device and I am experiencing no slowdowns. I am a strong advocate for home replacements but in this case I really have no need for one. My only minor complaint is the color scheme for TWUX but I just simply used TW widgets sparingly (just mail and social hub), found an accommodating wallpaper on zedge, and placed the Samsung apps in the nicely redesigned folders from Folder Organizer. I even experimented with Wallpaper Wizardrii to see if a non scrolling wallpaper would actually improve the fluidity of the device but it actually made it lag so I guess I am one of the fortunate ones to have had a successful update that provided what was promised...improved performance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mughalgxt:
Try asking in respective thread of the firmware you wish to flash, as for suggestion try docs firmware for pure tw closest to OTA update.

Procedure: copy the firmware zip file to internal memory > power + vol down combo > recovery(left option)> install from sd card> choose the copied zip file... Done! More related questions and answers in respective thread.

In there you will find ROMs created by devs that have included the TW update.

TThanks for the update. Which one should i download?How would i know which ROM suits my tablet? Any idea why am i not able to receive the update from Samsung? Is it because by tablet is rooted?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Infobits:
FYI, I had my tablet rooted and with CWM Rom Manager installed on default Android 3.1, 32GB, retail, locked version of Tab 10.1 and was able to update with no problem at all.

Why yours won't update I have no idea other than maybe the Samsung servers are overloaded with folks updating their tabs. It takes a while to download the large new firmware file (about 188.xxMB in size) and then it takes even longer for it to install itself.

Are you just waiting for your Tablet to automatically update on its own or are you manually inititating the update by going into "Settings"->"Tablet info"->"Check for Updates" ?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Infobits:
matt_1224, if you have an all stock retail Tab 10.1, you should be able to get the update. Are you waiting for the tablet to automatically receive the update on its own OTA or did you try to check for updates manually? If you want it right away (and it is available in your area) then you should should manually initiate the update by going into "Settings"->"Device Info"->"Check for Updates" and "Check now". If its available it will let you download and install it.

Do not back out of the downloading screen once it is download in progress or it will cancel the download! I did that near the end of the long download and wasted time having to restart the download all over again.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joeski27:
Yeah I'm curious about this too. I mean we've all heard that it supposedly re-locks the bootloader, but as far as root is concerned thats the question. And for that matter does it replace CWM for those who have flashed that in place of the stock recovery? Because if we still have CWM then all we'd have to do is reflash the root tools if we lost root, correct?
