Okay, downloaded & installed "Samsung Smart View" (a 29meg dl btw) to the tab via Google's Play store.

Had it up & running in two minutes after installing. Saw my D8000 straight away, answered the prompt & watching TV on my Tab, volume working as it should. Changed inputs on the TV & after a slight lag the tab changed as well
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shaady:
Typical the day after flashing CM9 it comes out...

Not that bothered tbh, the CM9 version is wicked fast and running without issues.

Here's hoping for some custom ROM's for the 6810 now!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rockid:
:fingers-crossed: Sounds great! Will cross check it myself after flashing to ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Hmmm...

I extracted the tar.md5 file and flashed via Mobile Odin. I ticked ever root and wipe as I was coming from CM9.

The tab stays stuck on the falshing on SAMSUNG....

Anyone anyideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
No it's not working for me, i just have odin mobile app but not root.

@palexr, try a reset factory via the recovery, or try going back in 3.2 stock rom and also a reset factory (it will be stuck).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
OK, panic over. I rebooted into (samsung) Recovery and wiped, reset, etc.. and it rebooted OK.

I was probably being impatient....

BUT... no root.... even using the "ever root"option in Mobile Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] feenty:
Maybe we should try this method: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28495466&postcount=232
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
I am just about to.

Doesn't like that CMW...

EDIT

Ignore the village idiot here - I hadn't realised this new version of CMW was "touch". Don't trry to navigate with the volume rocker, use the screen and your finger!

I have done it now and Rootchecker tells me my P6810 IS rooted!

Yeah! Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] feenty:
Thanks for the try...

Now i'm going to upgrade then root! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Hmm my 7.7 wifi shows still nothing for an update :/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
It's on Sammobile, UK version I think.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] feenty:
The same was here. Try with KIES.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I did try kies, nothing either, it keeps showing me the older S2 firmware update.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Im kinda new with this device. Can you install the official ROM only to official UK device or?

I used Odin to install over CM9 and got into a bootloop, then tried to install official HC rom and bootloop again, installed CWM recovery and CM9 and all is working again.

Does it work with mobile odin only? or only from official rom?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] heelerdog:
Anyone else found GPS not working now?

Cheers,

Heeler

EDIT: its OK, just needed a reboot....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I would flash with the UK firmware but personally I am not sure if that is a good idea.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Did you wipe and reset etc....?

I downloaded it from Sammobile used Mobile Odin including wipe. Before flashing anything I went into Recovery made a CMW backup, rebooted and copied that file over to my sdcard so that i could restore even using Samsung's own Recovery if needs be.

I don't think it matters much the region it is released in. The 3G version came out as an Austrian release first and people were flashing that. Check the threads though.

I then used this to restore Root

Make sure you copy the two files over to the root of your ext sdcard as Samsung's Recovery doesn't allow you to scroll beyond the first screen.

Remember that the CMW used here is "touch", it doesn't work by using the volume controls.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jonamafun:
Cheers dude worked perfectly here too.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Thanks for the info, I guess I will have to try with mobile odin tonight, maybe regular odin is not wiping old stuff on the tab (or I dont know how to do that lol).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
I can confirm this method works for root. I also recommend a full wipe. I had to to get it to work. Working great now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nudger:
Downloaded P6810 f/w from Sammobile used Mobile odin with root option and no wipe. All working well so far ... sweet :victory:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Astrix Ashburn:
For sure that root method will work! Originality of the rooting steps is here: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/showthread.php?p=222957

There are other steps for flashing of permanent cwm recovery and update of Supersuper to SuperSU

Note: Steps for flashing Locerra's CWM v5.5.04 is the same as indicated at the link.

The only diff is the version cwm P6800 and P6810

Why the link show flash using Mobile Odin? As to support the developer. Yes you can flash using PC Odin.

With that steps, I dont own any credit.

It works...feel free to thanks Chainfire, Rachmat3 and Loccera as they are the tools developer in that rooting steps.

Enjoy your rooting and flashing.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
I have gone back and forth from HC to ICS three times trying wipe no wipe with MobileOdin and no luck getting root. Have Ever root option checked. Where am I going wrong. :confused:

Ignore me. I just tried the above and success!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jimmyjack72:
Flashed UK ICS with odin (pc not mobile) without a drama. I now have a smooth, rooted and very usable p6810.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Thanks to bokyako from sammobile, I also flashed using Odin and all I can say is wow, this is what this tablet needed, smooth, quick and responsive. :good:

It's like a different device :D

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] choypaul:
how can i upgrade my wifi version using PC? my tab is not rooted. it's a stock version of 3.2
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Choypaul, grab the firmware off the sammobile website and then follow the instructions here

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ics-android-4-0-4-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-p6800-guide/
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] choypaul:
is it safe to upgrade my tab using this version? let me try this later. and i'll keep you guys posted. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Choypaul, do not use the firmware on that website. Use the firmware from this site

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/

GT-P6810	United Kingdom / Ireland	2012 July	Android 4.0.4	P6810XXLPK	P6810OXALPK

download it from the link above, but use the guide from the android soul, just replace the P6800 file with the P6810, if you don't you will brick your device.

I did the flash myself, and it went smoothly.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] choypaul:
ahh yes bro ofcourse. :D i'll be using the P6810 version. not the one from the abovementioned website. i will just follow instructions using that link you provided.

thanks! i will keep you posted. it's a large 500mb to download the firmware hehe :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] richB7:
Soft bricked my tab with mobile odin apparently because the download of the zip was not complete. Used normal odin this morning with newly downloaded file and all is good.

Everything running smooth even with touchwiz where before I had to run an alternate launcher.

Can anyone post some initial feedback?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Dammit downloading again, tried with mobile odin from CM9 with wipe and all and still stuck on samsung logo... Still not booting... tablet has been at the pulsating samsung logo for 10 minutes... Ok had to do a factory reset from stock recovery...grrrr
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] acid123:
Just updated my one and so far so good,

No issues that I can see all working fine
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I would recommend using normal Odin to flash.

I've only encountered one issue with my tab after upgrade, I can't seem to locate the stock android keyboard, I only have the samsung keyboard and swype and I am not a fan of the sammie keyboard

USB on the go works, Kies Air works, I didn't do any backup before flashing but I would recommend people do that. All my files were still present there after flashing. Accessing the SD card is no longer a problem unlike before. Touch is more responsive, swiping between homescreens is fluid and instant like on my S2. Maybe almost buttery smooth :P

I am glad samsung opted for a target UI on the 7,7 rather than the lighter one on the other tabs. Compared to the tab 2 7, the widgets seem a bit small due to the higher resolution, this is no biggie. The higher resolution also makes some of the on screen fonts look smaller, like the clock in the taskbar and names under the icons in the app menu. The menu in the lower right corner pops up in a blazing fast speed, almost scary fast. Unlike in the tab 2, you can delete extra homescreens which is nice.

I've yet to run any benchmark tests, but I might just do that now.

Ok some benchmark results

Antutu

total score - 6590

CPU - 3381

GPU - 1475

RAM - 1217

I/O - 517

Quadrant

3944 (just a bit under the asus transformer prime tf201)

Vellamo

1320

Benchmark Pi

468 (lowest score I had)

Sunspider

1881

Browsermark

129450

Nenamark2

42.3 fps which is a tad lower than before I had

I can post up images of the results if people want me to. This is all on stock 4.04 from samsung, no overclocking or any other mods. I will mention that ram management is also highly improved.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] QwaarJet:
Anyone able to compare locerra's ICS build for our P6810 vs the official build? Other than touchwiz, bluetooth & light sensor working, pretty identical?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Ok, the ICS P6810 (wifi only) for UK is out ... Now I have a question and please correct me if I'm wrong...

I have the Hong Kong model, whould installing the UK Stock (P6810XXLB3_P6810OXALB3_XEU.zip) with Odin do the trick?

after that use the CSC app from Manniakk to change the CSC to UK and then just use kies to update to ICS?

Is this correct?

Or do I have to change something else?

Please let me know..

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rockid:
Flash worked like a charm.

"Samsung Smart View" works as well :good:

Finally the 7.7 works as intended!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I personally did not change anything on my tab, I just flashed it to ICS using Odin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Oh.. ok so it doesn't matter what country my tablet is from as long as I install the UK firmware with Odin?

Would Kies still recognize the tablet ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LonestarROB:
New guy thats probably going to get blasted for asking this, but here goes.... :fingers-crossed:

I'm in the US. Ordered my 6810 from an import seller that resides in New York. Have no idea where it was imported from(How do I find out). No root, just bone stock. Can I use the same DL link/s from this thread to upgrade to ICS? Will I get an OTA update sometime? I get a little paranoid when updating anything. :o

Rob
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] acid123:
You should have no issues flashing this firmware
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Locerra did a fantastic job, but I feel that the official build is at least as fast if not faster, everything works and important for me hardware video playback works properly. Locerras build has that official android look going for it though.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
After flashing to the new firmware the tablet is recognized in Kies no problem, but it mentions that the firmware is not supported.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LBN1:
Just an FYI, my p6810 - I was rooted on HC with NooB's 1.0 Rom, with Clockwork Mod Recovery installed.

Flashed the ICS stock firmware thru MobileOdin Lite, worked flawlessly. This does lose root, and does overwrite Clockwork Mod Recovery with the a stock recovery.

So thru Stock Recovery, then followed these steps:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28495466&postcount=232

This is a temp Clockwork Mod Recovery, but does give you root. Once rooted, I was able to use MobileOdin Lite to flash permanent Clockwork Mod Recovery from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542897.

So now I am running the latest ICS 4.0.4, with root, and with Clockwork Mod Recovery again. Bonus - I did not lose any of my data, or apps!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Mmmm ok, I wonder if that has something to do with the CSC ....?

Thanks for your time man... If I can figure out something I'll let you know....

I guess I'll flash it anyway tonight.....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LonestarROB:
:o Just to make sure...

This is the correct firmware DL?

....P6810XXLPK_P6810OXALPK_XEU.zip

And then follow this walkthrough?

...theandroidsoul.com/ics-android-4-0-4-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-7-7-p6800-guide
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LBN1:
Yes that is the correct firmware for the P6810. You can follow that guide as well, though I personally used Mobile Odin Lite instead (per my previous post one page back).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LonestarROB:
^^ Thanks! Updated and everything seem A-Ok. :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] estelgrace:
Thanks you guys!

Just flashed via the steps in the Android Soul link. Everything works great!!

My only gripe is that the Samsung ebook app doesn't seem to be working, but oh well. It's awesome! Definitely a BIG improvement (even if I wish Sammy had stuck with the vanilla ICS look)!

BTW, mine is the P6810 HK variant from Negri Electronics.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Ok, For whoever that wants to flash your 7.7 P6810 to the UK ICS update via Odin and still be able to have Kies working OTA, (in other words, recognizing your firmware instead of showing you a message that your firmware isn't supported)

This is what I did:

(Just in case: I'm not responsible for whatever happens to your Tab following what I did)

0. Note: my original (stock) firmware was Hong Kong version.

1. Obviously downloaded the new UK ICS firmware

2. Flash it via Odin

3. After this step, all the apps I have were working Ok, pictures, etc.. and the settings showed me ICS 4.0.4 Then I connected the Tab to my computer to check if Kies still recognizes it, and it does BUT it tells you that doesn't support your firmware (I don't remember exactly the message) so it will not check for firmware updates (OTA)... and it showed my device as KOR firmware (Korea?)

4.Next thing I did was download an app (in Google Play) called "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC" (by Manniakk) I know it sounds like its not for this Tablet... but it works, I ran it and changed the CSC to XEU which is the one for UK, BFORE YOU DO THIS back up all your data because this will erase everything, this took like 3 minutes and booted the Tab like it was brand new with ICS on it :)

Note: I backed up the programs settings that I wanted to save to the SD card using Titanium Backup

5. When the Tab turned back on I had to enter all my info again, set up google account, country (US or wherever you are), etc...

6. Then I connected the Tab to my computer again to check if Kies recognizes the firmware now and YES it DOES!!!. I got the "this is the latest firmware" message... and shows the firmware as LPK (XEU) which is right now.

Now... I have to install all my apps again and restore their settings that I've saved on Titanium Backup....

Thanks for reading... Good Luck and have fun.

anyone experiencing tab gets very hot while charging?

and battery drains more than before?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FionaKyle:
Hello,

After the update I tried Samsung Galaxy S/S2 CSC as Dusko75 described. But in my case, I don't see any choice for XEU.

My Tab is also from Hong Kong (CSC=TGY). There is only one black option that I can choose and if I choose that it says that I need to input 3 letter word which is impossible. Does any one know any other way to change the CSC of WiFi only version? All the other information assumes that the Tab has a dialer which my tab doesn't have becuase it's wifi only.

Thank you for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orrelljet:
Niggles post ICS

A big thank you to all the posters on this thread. I now have a 7.7 running ICS :-)

Two things though...

First, HD video, specifically MKV files now "skip" every 5 seconds or so, almost like the screen refresh rate is too low.

Second, has anyone else noticed the fonts in the default browser (internet) being "fuzzy"?

Is it worth trying a factory reset?

Cheers,

J.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
Mmmm.. There's something wrong here... did you use the Samsung CSC app before you flash the firmware with Odin? or after? you should do it after.... It showed me like 6 options when I selected the only button the app has (something like "change CSC")

Again, just to make sure, the app its called "Samsung Galaxy S / S2 CSC" and the developer its called "Manniakk". THAT is the one I used.

Did you flash this firmware: P6810XXLPK_P6810OXALPK_XEU.zip ?

It looks like we both have the same Tab (Hong Kong) so let me know the specific steps you took if this is not helping.... Anyway this should work for any region...

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

No, the tab doesn't get hot (not mine) and the battery life looks better, another thing to mention is that I had problems with the WIFI disconnecting itself very often, now it works PERFECT!

Used Mobile Odin Pro

FWIW, I used Mobile Odin Pro to flash ICS to my GT 7.7, which was on HC and rooted. I only ran into two problems (a positive for me). First I didn't understand the need to extract the downloaded zip files before opening files and flashing (I guess I assumed Mobile Odin would do that.) Once I figured out that I needed to extract the firmware, Mobile Odin was able to see the files and the rest was easy. Because I had purchased the "Pro" version I went ahead and checked the Ever Root option (and the other two options below it). ICS flashed fast and smoothly. This is where my second problem occurred. I lost root. This morning I worked on getting root back and followed the directions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1780140. That took me longer than it should have because somehow or another, the root zip ended up on my internal sd card, not the external, where I kept searching for it.

I thought this might help someone who is as inexpert as I am.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zapzog:
I haven't charged mine yet, but i noticed that the battery went down about 25% overnight, whereas before it was about 5%.

P6810. Any fixes available?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FionaKyle:
Yes, exactly the same firmware and app and I followed the same procedure. Probably the only thing I did differently is I did a "wipe data/factory reset" after flashing the firmware. At that time I saw some messages like Multi-CSC or so but can't remeber the exact phrase. Anyway the tab is working fine except that I can't connect it to the Kies.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bangkenny:
does anybody happen to have a 32GB .pit file?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dusko75:
I think that's the problem, because that firmware is Musti-CSC, I have no idea at what point of the factory reset did it ask you to change something Multi-CSC related....?

I didn't do a factory reset, so I don't know.... If I were you (unless you don't really care about Kies recognizing your firmware) I would re-flash it again to have it right and remember that when I changed the CSC it wiped everything on the Tab so that process is doing a "reset" anyway....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] smallkeung:
Does any guy get WIFI issue after updated to ICS 4.0.4 ?

My Tab is 6810 Hong Kong version. After I upgraded to the tab, the WIFI get on or off all the time.

Sometimes it got the WIFI connection, but it will drop few second. It is unusable. Finally, restore back to the old firmware.

I also found that the MAC address will change after the upgrade. Is that normal?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] FionaKyle:
For now, I don't think Kies connectivity is that important and my tab is working fine otherwise. I'll try that when the new version of firmware comes up.

As for battery and wifi issues, I'm not experiencing any and MAC didn't change either.

Thank you for all the help.

"Sleep of Death" solved by ICS?

Maybe others have noticed this? With HC, if wifi was set "always on", then randomly standby would freeze the tab (no wake up) and tab would get quite hot. After forcing restart, I would notice ridiculous amounts of battery was lost. Setting wifi to off during standby prevented this, but then obviously I could not sync in standby - no alerts, etc.

With ICS, wifi always on, no problems yet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I actually never had this issue with my tab. Although my tab did show as being awake since last night so that drained the battery a bit, but when it is not awake there is little drain. But after a reboot the problem disappeared.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Hi, quick question. I have managed to mess up some of the Samsung apps (the clock specifically), what would happen if I flashed the Samsung stock ICS FW over my existing Sammy stock ICS without wiping? Would that restore the app?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orrelljet:
Factory reset looks to have cured it so you can sleep easy :good:

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

This was a big one for me, as I had to use the "Airplane Mode" app so stop mine succumbing to the "sleep of death".

Haven't reinstalled the app since a full factory reset, post ICS upgrade, and no issues so far.

Nice!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orrelljet:
Transfer over USB (MTP) = CRASH

Since moving to ICS, I'm having issues transferring files over MTP, to both the card and the tablet itself; as soon as I try to copy a file over, explorer crashes.

At first, I assumed it was an issue with the files I was copying but have since tested with files I previously had copied using the same method but the outcome is the same. The files I'm copying now (720p .mkv) work perfectly on the device and although I can remove the card and transfer using a card reader I'd prefer to leave the card inside the tab, as it saves my spot in whatever I'm watching.

Anyone else seen this?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] levky:
I have the same issue as well. Virtually identical to your situation. I have not checked to see what my MAC address is changed or not after the update, since I did not check in the beginning.

Anyone else has similar issue?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jonamafun:
That's rather strange because I had the opposite situation. Could never get MTP to work under HC (Explorer crashes) but now under ICS it works perfectly.
