Go to http://www.u-file.net/

go to the top of the page and hit topfiles.

In the search textbox enter : p6800zskl2

Download the files...

You'll need a program hjsplit to join the files into one zip file and after you join them, unpack the file. It comes as an .exe file so you double click it and then it says where you want .tar file to be unpacked. A bit complicated but that is how I got it from sammobile forum. FYI I tried to flash this via odin but it failed to flash it! I guess that is because I don't have a .pit file! Anyway this is what was written in odin during my attempt:

Thanks, seeing as i already have this current build on my tab, what build do you have.? and pardon my ignorance but where can we get this .pit file.. also is this .pit file exclusive per device or is it just a signature file if i may that "announces" the rom package as valid to a given device family.? Thanks

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Wizard8125:
So I just dated via kies on my pc it wont update on a mac... tried it on my Macbook air. Plugged it to a pc and firmware update pops up... if you are rooted it breaks root so you have to re apply the root. The same old root.zip file method for galaxy tab plus still works. I just reused the old file that was sitting on my external sd card. Works fine. Notable difference seems smoother, pattern lock screen slightly different. Will post anything other noted changes.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maconsultant:
What was your build number before the update.? What is your build number after the update..? id like to know as my tab already seems to be running this P6800ZSKL2 build.. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
Well I do not know much more than you. I would like an answer regarding this .pit file. I have bricked mine device and now I am trying to find a way to revive it. It was xxkj2!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maconsultant:
My tab says XXKL1..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Wizard8125:
When i checked on the tab itself it showed no updates but when i plugged it up to kies on a pc the update showed up.

Where does everyone go to find the latest firmware? I mean, apart from Kies that is. Not a fan of Kies personally (really prefer Odin). Samfirmware hasn't been doing a very good job of staying current lately, not with all the latest stuff anyway...

ARRGH! I wish the US version would hurry up and get released!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
From what I have seen of both models, editing the mini apps tray is only available on the 3G model (P6800). As there are less mini apps available on the WiFi only model (P6810) - no dialer, no SMS - the mini apps tray cannot be edited.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] onicrom:
just got mine today (6810)

it is beautiful

BUT

the honeycomb and touchwiz are buggy as hell and slow as ****.

maybe its because im coming from the galaxy nexus and ICS

but I am really let down by how terrible honeycomb is on this, even my xoom ran smoother than this.

hopefully we can unlock the bootloader and get some real development started.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raptor1956:
I see that Anandtech is saying the Verizon version with LTE will have the Exynos SoC -- is that so? If it is I may wait for Verizon to offer them otherwise I'll have to import. I know Sammy couldn't swing Exynos in the ATT Note or the SGNexus so how did they swing it with the 7.7 tab?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5344/samsung-galaxy-tab-77-lte-headed-to-verizon-wireless

I have the SGNexus with LTE from Verizon and have the hotspot feature so I don't see needing more than a WiFi tab but I doubt Verizon will offer WiFi only.

OK, once again, can anyone confirm that the Verizon version of the 7.7 tab have the Exynos SoC...

Brian
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Wizard8125:
Really? I dont have the same experience on my p6800... yeah honeycomb has a few hiccups its really not that bad. And i have a galaxy nexus so while its not as smooth as ICS its really isn't bad for me at least.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
That's why I am in no hurry to buy the Tab. My original Tab 7 will ast until we start to see some custom buillts out there :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Raptor1956:
I've been waiting for the 7.7 since I first saw it in September -- in the tech world waiting 4 months to release something is just not acceptable. Yeah, I know, Apple played the lawsuit card but still...

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Just an update on my upcoming tab and im getting it next Monday :-/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] onicrom:
forgive what may be a silly question...

but when i held volume down + power i was prompted with enabling the ability to install a custom OS...

does this effectively unlock the bootloader?

if you select yes does this wipe the device?

btw 6810 (wifi only model)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Bah! Screw that! Buy unlocked! It's just better... Plus, US carriers don't like devices that do everything in one nice neat packaged device, so you'll never see an American tablet capable of making normal phone calls... Deal breaker for me.

Got the P6800, and haven't looked back! Best device EVER!

Why not the 3g+wifi
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
I've got 4G Mobile Hotspot and Unlimited Data on my Verizon plan. Don't really want another plan. ;)

WiFi only is all I need. Just not sure if pulling the trigger on one from Negri is a smart move. Now...if I knew when VZW or when the WiFi US versions were set to release in the US, and at what price, that would make my decision so much easier.

Also, I really want the Exynos chip and it appears to be up in the air whether the US ones will have that or not.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] onicrom:
i prefer wifi only

my 4g phone tethers and i have unlimited data

the wifi version is 5g lighter

and dont need to worry about the extra radios consuming additional power (or worry about turning them off)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] morkli:
You can only add/remove from a select list of mini apps anyway, not any regular app, so it's not really that useful.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
I used checkfus and then checkfus downloader to check what is latest and then download. I believe this tool checks and downloads direct from samsung update site. However, once you have the rom file, i havent seen precise instructions for the 7.7 to flash yet. Checkfus has xda thread.

For other devices eg galaxy s2, an xda dev often provides the downloads so others can easily access latest.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kazuni:
Actually, the HK version is not 2.5G

(21Mbps HSPA+)

It fully supports 21Mbps connection here in Smartone Hong Kong.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Paten:
Maybe it is but if it doesn't support T-Mobiles frequencies then it will be stuck on

Edge speeds and won't be able to use HSPA+.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kazuni:
Nice.

My 6800 has always been silky smooth since day 1. HK version :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] u24me:
i will get mine in about 3 weeks till it arrives here in east europe, can't wait :) (btw it will be my first tablet, since i waited for the SuperAmoled display so i can see it properly in sunlight ) hopefully till then the 7.7 will have it's own forum on xda (already voted for it here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416406 ) .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] paulikxp:
It seems that only works on the GT-P6800, at least it does on mine. No launcher apk as my tablet isn't rooted.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] paulikxp:
Yes, that's one of the very few downsides. The text size should be adjustable. I had the opposite problem with the old 7" Tab and used LCDdensity to decrease density with getting appropriate text size. Bummer is it only works on rooted devices (where you also could adjust using build.prop).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] paulikxp:
I don't think they ever planned to equip the 7.7 with the needed active digitizer. A standard stylus for capacitive screens works alright, the one from the Note doesn't, I tried it.

The book case is not too bad, I also asked myself why I have to open the book from the back?!? (aka left to right). It also doesn't enclose the Tab fully, the corners next to the bending strip remain exposed as the top and bottom sides do. I've ordered the leathee pouch, it'll hopefully protect the Tab better.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] cx5:
Tab 7.7 P800 changed dpi to 240, stuck FORCE CLOSE unable to launch Touchwiz.

Thanks so much in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] davp:
Anyone know how to enter secret codes on WiFi only devices with no dialer? Is there a suitable dialer in the market that is confirmed to work with the codes?

The codes go to the service menu features. eg on some phones *#1234# gives version strings of rom, csc, build date. I'd like to see this info for the P6810.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
Exactly that's the point.

The HK version doesn't have the 1700Mhz band. believe me I lived in Tokyo, HK, NYC and Paris and still travel to these cities. Got used to che for the compatible radio bands on my phone for full 3G...

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] spridell:
I just updated the software.

I went into settings> about phone> software update and the update was there ready to be downloaded. Takes about 3 minutes.

I have to agree that its much much smoother now after this update. Even with all my widgets the page transitions are much smoother and the whole device feels snappier.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Just updated OTA too. Don't notice many differences on my P6800 so far. Still smooth as silk all around really.

Still have root access after the update too FYI.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ffletchs:
Just got my 7.7", love it! only gripes are honeycomb lags sometimes and I wish I would turn of the honeycomb status bar, specially when playing videos (stupid dots at the bottom)

Anyone found some good case for it yet?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
God I hope they make some good cases for this. I hate folio style cases and silicone "covers" as neither offer any type of screen or drop protection. Gumdrop and Otterbox are really dropping the ball with tablets cases.

I think as time progresses there is a big market for solid, rugged cases. Case choices truly reflect my decisions to buy certain electronics. I don't buy phones I can't have an Otterbox Defender for. And I'm finding myself more and more basing my tablet decisions on cases. My SGT10.1 resides in a Gumdrop. My SGT resides in an Otterbox. My HP TP resides in a TPU case but honestly that isn't enough.

WE NEED cases with durability plus built in screen protectors. I like being able to throw my tabs into my bag or the seat of my car w/out a care in the world.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Ahh that simple cool, but u guess when I get mine and try to update it will take for ever since ill be using it on Ymobile and can only get voice+edge
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I think that the market for cases pretty much follows demand. Most people want as minimal a case for their thin tablet as possible so they can enjoy the thinness while having some scratch protection and the capability to prop it up for viewing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maconsultant:
yes that is the case...

So now that some of you have had them for a bit....any burn in on the screen for you guys?

Like the other poster, I am a bit worried as it is a well documented problem.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Nope! And I've been pawing at mine a few hours every day for the past few weeks. I've also had the Galaxy SR phone with the SAMOLED screen for a month and have not seen any issues with the screen (although some report lines or blobs in certain conditions, but that's not burn-in). I don't think the OLEDs suffer from burn-in like plasma can. Or, it may just take a lot longer for it to happen.

Question for all, I have read from many of you that you are quite happy with the performance and the tab seems to be pretty responsive as is, will you guys be doing any flashing if any roms become available? Or will you just wait for an official ics update?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] got556:
Which format did you guys format your SD cards to?

IIRC it has to be FAT32, but don't quote me on that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ozren:
You can't even imagine how much, but I have none else to blame but myself, and now I can only wait and hope someone bothers to make a rom or official rom comes out. And mine was a test device with working IR, 3G, WiFi... everything :(

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

I formated my card in tablet onece and in card reader the other time (both times FAT32) but untill I rooted the device that error appeared. I could read everything from sd card, I could copy from it to the device but not other way around and I could not delete anything from it. (At the time I thought that something was wrong with the sd card itself but the same thing happened with different card)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I was seeing that in AndroZip Pro trying to copy from internal to external SD. What method were you using?

Galaxy Tab 7.7 and USB

Hi guys,

got my USB adapter cable from Hongkong today, it was only $4.99 from ebay user hk-welcomeshop. The advantage to the Samsung adapter is the flexible cable instead of that awkward brick on the bottom of your Tab and of course the price.

It works as it should but USB devices which draw a higher current are not supported by the proprietary connector and need external power via a USB hub (which I don't have). If anybody wants to use the Tab with a mouse: it works fine as does a 2GB USB stick. A 16GB stick was recognised as a "high power USB device" and didn't work and also two harddrives (500GB and 1.5TB) didn't work, I have yet to test a 2.5" 80GB drive but I need a powered hub first.

I also got Samsung's "brown leather pouch" today and can only say: forget it. Quickly. Very quickly. It's extremely cheaply made, very soft, feels cheap, too. And of course it's not made of leather. It protects only from some dust or scratches on the screen but doesn't keep any impact away from the Tab. If only the sturdy d30 sleeve from the 7" Tab was available, that's sooo good!

Here's a new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKJQPa4pOdw

Oh, man. That official Samsung Pouch is embarrassing. I've got their bookcase cover on order and will post a pic when I get it.

Sharing my mistakes / lesson learnt, hope you all don't repeat.

Hi guys

But 1st, thanks and credits to all the devs and members whom are so kind to email their tab 7.7 original build.prop and give instructions, solutions, ideas and advices.

You all know who you are and truely ANGELS of this community to have you all. I've personally replied your emails individually and wish you all well.

Regarding my 240dpi changed FAILED and request original build.prop matter.

I used a build.prop from HK user, due I'm in HK, at least compatibility is exactly same. No regional issue.

at the end I resorted to: -

recovery mode, plug in USB, adb push build.prop /system --> reboot --> show Tab 7.7 then BLACK :(

recovery mode, wipe/factory reset + wipe cache --> but no improvement. Boot up show Tab 7.7 then BLACK :(

Odin 1.85 flash

PDA P6800ZSKL2.TAR --> success back to factory dafault.

got it from

________________________________________

Go to http://www.u-file.net/

go to the top of the page and hit topfiles.

In the search textbox enter : p6800zskl2

________________________________________

So I confirm it's correct for P6800, not fake. and the download speed was crazy fast, nearly 10M bytes / second. I'm in HK, my ISP is HKBN, subscribe to 100Mbps local, 20Mbps international.

Well, hope my stupid mistake at least give you some information to avoid problems in the future, at least make all this effort worth some while, and somehow share with others.

I checked the original HK build.prop before adb push. It does NOT contain LCD_DENSITY=160dpi

So the way Tab 7.7 sets dpi is different from original Tab P1000.

There is a fix for the write to external storage in this thread:

Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus->Galaxy Tab Plus General->unable to write files to external sd card

Requires root to apply fix.

There is a new permission that older file managers aren't asking for yet. The stock file manager knows to ask for it.

Fix worked for my P6810 wifi.

@got556 - thanks for congrats, I have to thank alterbridge86 and kazuni and others for thier kind help and assistance for saving the machine.

@maconsultant, I didn't use any .pit file during the flash in Odin 1.85 - Just pure PDA TAR file and flash away according to the instructions from the original xda post.

@GideonPrime, you only need to perform my item (3), ignore the points 1 and 2. They were just some of my random attempt to save it without resorting to a full FLASH ROM.

Pls follow instructions in http://bbs.sdapk.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&action=printable&tid=435563

Oh, it's Chinese,

basically

Odin 1.85

ensure connect succesful = yellow color background with word COM?? appear in Odin

select auto reboot and F.reset time

select PDA = p6800zskl2.tar

hit START

done

Now that Cx5 has given us the steps to flash, should we check that the rom tar files we might use have similar content.

I have the tar for KL5 XSA P6810 (Australia), it contains

boot.bin,cache.img,factoryfs.img,hidden.img,param.lfs,recovery.bin,Sbl.img,zImage

I assume for a 3g model there will be an extra file like maybe modem.bin.

Could someone with a copy of Cx5's KL2 tar have a look and see if same files exist?
