Yup. The 4.0.3 rom is very laggy. 4.1.1 is a tremendous improvement in terms of smoothness and touch sensitivity.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] bodger122:
I got the UK OTA update last night - it really has smoothed out the scrolling and the whole tablet seems to be nippier now, Apps open & close fast and opening/closing the main menu is faster and smoother.

I also like the new folder icons that samsung has created. Google Now is fab and Voice Search ROCKS (although im used to these im my Galaxy Nexus)

Samsung may have been slow with the OTA, but their appear to have got it right, ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HAKANN:
Allright downloading the rom, going to flash it with odin pc.

Can you please tell me the steps to flash it?

I would like to keep my data as you! :)

edit: is your device detected @ kies?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
First of all, download Kies and let the program download and install the drivers of your tablet (You have to connect your tablet to the pc and then wait until Kies recognize your tablet... then you'll know that the drivers are installed correctly).

Then download the 4.1.1 rom and unzip it. You will have two more elements, a .tar file and another one that doesn't matter at all.

Fully charge your tab.

Download odin 1.85 or another one (I used 1.85 without issues in windows 8 pro)

Open it (don't plug the tab to the pc yet) as admin (just right click and then open as admin).

Put the PDA file (the .tar file that was unzipped) on the PDA slot. To do that just click on the PDA button and search for the .tar

Make a backup JUST IN CASE. When I flashed, my data was still there, but I cannot assure that the same would happen to anyone else.

Make sure that ONLY auto reboot and F reset Time are checked. Repartition will probably screw all... uncheck repartition if autochecked itself.

Then power up your tablet with the combo volume up + power, and you'll be at the download mode. Press down (if I remember well) to continue (just follow the instructions on the screen) and then plug the tablet to your pc.

Wait a minute there just to be sure that the pc recognized the recently connected tablet.

Odin must say "added!" at the text box.

Then push starts and wait for 3-4 minutes.

After that, when your tablet reboots, you can disconnect your tablet from your pc and you'll be with stock Jelly Bean =D.

If you have any questions, just ask ;)

Allright succesfully updated to 4.1.1!

But i can't register my device to update ota for later?

i don't know why ..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
I have no issues with the OTA...nor for the registration for later OTAs. Try restarting your tablet, maybe could fix it.

Feels way better than 4.0.3, don't you think? =)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HAKANN:
Yes ICS was worse! Jb is much better, allright my device isn't registert it says device is changed no update available..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
I have no idea why is that happening. Try to forget the wifi connection and then reconnect it again... maybe is a internet issue. I'm from Chile, so I don't think that is a regional issue.

Did you install a custom rom before?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HAKANN:
Even Kies isn't working it says that my device doesn't support it.

The weird thing is I got my tablet for just 3 weeks..

And I'm from Holland and I flashed the UK JB, I googled and it says that why

realy weird I hope when it's rolled out for Holland I can flash it again and this time getting it worked..

But thanks for the help I got jb for now:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] takerhbk:
I haven't tried update via kies yet. Lemme see if it is available. I expected it OTA
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] r-l:
Oke, tried it for a few days and it's absolutly better then the 4.0.4 but i'm going back to cm10. Cm10 is for me smoother and i love the vanilla android look (and i'm a flash-a-holic :P)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] MJRL:
Multiple users only in 4.2, or this rom also have?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HAKANN:
My tab is modified.

If I flash it when it's available for my country, can I get OTA worked? so my tab is registered?

changing country to the UK?

Hi there!

So here's the thing: normal galaxt tab wifi (5110). Not modified on any way (not rooted or flashed, or anything).

I'm on spain, and I'm running 4.0.3 (there have been no updates here). So what shall I do to obtain this? I have tried to change the language on the tab to english UK and nothing, I have connected it to KIES (I'm using the mac version), and still nothing.

Is there anything that I can do to make the tablet believe that I'm on the UK so it updates itself?

Cheers Mates!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
Nope, because it has the regional code inserted on the rom. The only way to have jelly bean right now is by flashing your tablet via odin (desktop or mobile)

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] extensa30:
That's unfortunate. I had aleready prepared some afternoon tea and bisquits to convince it...
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] uberNoobZA:
As far as I know, if you set your tablet to UK by changing its CSC to BTU then you should be able to upgrade via Kies. You can change CSC if you are rooted and you will not need to format your device.

I used this link as a guide when I changed my CSC - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31472104&postcount=2

Hi,

I purchase 2 Galaxy Tap 2 GT P5110.

One white and one grey.

On the white one, after updating to JB I have the lockscreen shortcuts.

On the grey one NO!

Can be any explication for this?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] HAKANN:
That's the weird for me to!

My friend got lockscreens but i don't have them.

Also guys with modified tab, just wait for your jb update of your country then download it at sammobile and flash it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] antonio1475:
In case you need them and don't have them yet, check [JB][XXCLK7][How-To] Shortcuts in Lockscreen

:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
It may work, but in order to follow the steps to change the CSC, he MUST be rooted (you can see that with the very first line that requires superuser).

If that's the case, I still think that the odin way to do the update is a shorter and still very secure way to get JB.

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] uberNoobZA:
Notice I said "you can change the CSC if you are rooted" ? Why make a point of saying he needs to be rooted? As far as I can remember, when I rooted my tab 2, I did not need to do a reset. However I think that Odin will reset data, will it not?

And I can confirm that after changing my CSC to BTU, I was able to upgrade 404 to 411 using kies.

Either way will get you upgraded.

Flashing a rom with mobile Odin also requires root (but it allows the option to not wipe data)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Barktooth:
Ops!... I didn't saw the root part that you mention. You're right, when you root you don't need to reset, but when you flash the rom via odin it will not reset your data either. I kept all my data while flashing from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1... I did a backup just in case, but nothing happened. When I flashed from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 through odin, it didn't reset my data either. In both upgrades, android detects them as a upgrade... at least that happened to me.

Finally, you have the three methods... all of them works and all will make your tablet fly with JB (in comparison to ICS).

Cheers!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] macbrovin:
I upgraded from stock rooted 4.0.4 via mobile Odin. Everything went well, apart from in between the Samsung logo and the animated Samsung logo, my screen does this....

....for about 3 seconds.

Anyone else had this, and more importantly, does anyone know of a solution?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] uberNoobZA:
Scrollback and you will see others also have this issue. I had It and fixed it by reflashing 404 and doing upgrade again.

Oh reallly? Didn't see that. Thanks for your reply. I'll do that when I get in tonight :thumbup:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dave106:
Somehow got my lock screen shortcuts settings to come up, purely by accident. After reading just above about solving the graphic glitch, I installed the 4.04 ROM for the 5110. Then went to install the JB rom , but as this doesn't flash through Odin on the 5113, I extracted the tar, deleted the boot loader (SPL.bin) which stops Odin flashing it, and re-tarred it but replaced the stock recovery.IMG with a CWM touch one. After flashing, the lock screen option is back ?! But it didn't solve the graphic glitch problem lol. I know the cwm recovery bit causes the shortcuts to come up as I re tried it but without replacing the recovery and using stock and they didn't show

Hello,

I want to install a clean Jelly Bean ROM to my sgs2, and I have been browsing around trying to find information, but it is really hard to filter out what I actually need!

What ROM would you recommend? Is JellyBam a good one?

Does anyone know a good guide(s) for rooting and installing a ROM?

Thank you!

I am sorry. Should have posted in Q/A. How do I delete it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
If you want to root your device you'll have to search and read for yourself, as there are enough guides here in xda, or via google.

JellyBam is good, but so are other ones otherwise nobody would use them so it's up to you to decide. If you want a clean rom, try CM10.

so just so i can verify. i tried out the svtp tehter app. and it changes the name of your tether id. its not an actual tehter app just gives you access to the hotspot app already baked in android. its more for verizon users that have the app disabled. ANYWAY suddenly i dont get the upsell page. so just to make sure (because the app is $15) i uninstalled and ran native tether and still no upsell page. so i tried it on my wifes phone (just changing the name of the tether), keep in mind my wifes phone is completely virgin so its not rooted, and BAM it works on that one too. so if anyone has time to try this out to confirm it for me or maybe i just flooked out twice lol

Edit: decided to just buy the app but it didn't work after the few times I changed the names manually on the phone so I just returned it. Changed the title to a question to stop confusion. Maybe someone else made more progress.

T-Mobile sucks for this crap
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
BTW im using chrome now and tried it in IE both got through

also its not tied to the name. just change it tether and change it back and the page is still gone. just got and upsell text but i usually get 2-5 before seeing the page and thats after i stop the tether and re-enable it later.

never mind upsell page is back but it did last a bit
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
One thing which was working for me up until a few days ago, was using Firefox Aurora (an alpha, but very stable, way more than nightlies). But at random that stopped working. Of course I installed some updates so IE 10 would work on W7 and it was after that I was blocked on FF. One other thing to note is that I can run a torrent client with no issues, so if it's possible to route a web browser through a different port, that would also work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
thank for the reply. im wondering if there is a way to hide the tether SSID from tmobile or even make it dynamic name. honestly im trying to get all my free DLC for Halo 4 on my xbox and its driving me nuts lol. the way i figure that tmobile blocks us is that they packet sniff and when there is X amount of data flowing through a port then that is when they flag your ssid (or hash tag) and sends the upsell page. im not claiming to know anything about network security but that is how it seems to be. im going to see if i can change the port that tether uses to send and receive, as you said torrenting works with no problem as does mine but they also dont use a UA to work. that is really the only way for them to find out you are tethering, otherwise they would be blocking normal traffic from our phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khanh1289:
why dont you guys just use a user agent extension and choose safari? works perfect for me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
that is what im using now but my xbox wont connect for updates, it did before i got the upsell page
[T-Mobile LG G2x] khanh1289:
well t-mobile block tethering based on devices they have set up to use their towers. So you have to "masked" it as another device. If Xbox, or IE explorer (I'm assuming this is what Xbox uses) is on their blocked devices list, then you can't use the internet from their towers. Is it possible for you to download the update on a usb drive then update it through that? Sorry, I don't own an xbox so I don't know.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] beccadevin:
get fox fi app and use the proxy add on and connect through the proxy and they can not detect it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
You can download the updates but only major ones like ui updates not fixes or security sweeps. And if I don't at least do the security sweeps I can't play some of my downloaded games because this isnt the original Xbox I downloaded them to. I have tried foxfi with no luck. Perhaps you have a better tutorial I could use?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xura08:
Why don't you tether your phone to your computer then hook your Xbox's Ethernet cable into your computer and bridge the connection between the Ethernet connection to the Xbox and the tethered connection? Would that work?

i would if i could. But i have the unique problem that the only phone signal i get is in my window, the complete other side of the room of my 360. i cant get a repeater from tmobile because its not my house and i dont have $600+ to spend on one without a contract. i also dont have a 30ft ethernet cable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hairycheapo:
What is this upsell page? Do you see this when you use the portable Wi-Fi hotspot, or just when doing USB tethering? I heard about a year ago that T-Mobile would be charging $15/mo for these capabilities. I do not pay for it, but I still use my phone as a hotspot once-in-a-while. In-fact, I am using it right now! BTW... I am on a "Classic 1000 Ulimited Plus" package that does not show the"Mobile HotSpot Service" of the "Ulimited Premium" plan. I use CM7 based ROMs. I use the hotspot functionality that's already in CM7 based Temasek135.2.:confused:

I've been using the user agent switcher since the new unlimited plan with no issues till 3 weeks ago.everything works fine between Firefox and chrome except I can no longer watch YouTube videos. It has to be something between the agent and T-Mobile ( flash player?) because I can use a VPN and YouTube magicly works again. Other wise I get a black screen in the YouTube video that says error occurred:please try again later.

Would be nice if there was a hotspot app out there that would fix this without having to use agent switcher.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrindsted:
EDIT: The headline is supposed to say - 'Flashing a stock rom to a BRANDED phone'

Hey guys!

I've recently acquired a Galaxy S3 yet my carrier has decided to brand the phone (Three). I've been talking to them about getting them to debrand it but they will not do it for free, and they say that once debranded I won't be able to receive OTA.

My question now is: Will I, if I do it myself, be able to flash an unbranded stock rom located on the internet using ODIN and still receive OTA updates, or is there something preventing me from doing this?

Cheers

Mikkel
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motogp1:
I had the same issue (orange),

Go to SamMobile download the latest unbranded btu (uk) version 4.1.1 and flash with odin.

As you flashing the official stock firmware you don't need to be rooted and your counter won't change.

You will then get the ota updates from Samsung and not your carrier or you can just keep flashing the latest versions as above.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgrindsted:
But I suppose I have to find one that comes from my country, which is Denmark. The only one I can find on sammobile appears to be a branded version from Three.

Does it make any difference if it is an unbranded stock rom from another country Than where i live?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Go to the Sammobile.com site then the firmwares link and select

Type - Smartphone

OS - Android

Model - this will be your phone for example GT i9300 - Galaxy S 3

Country - and from the drop down lost select Open Europe OXA

That is non branded European version 4.1.1, it should work fine for you.

Totally up to you this is just a suggestion to get rid of the branding from 3 which is the only version listed under Denmak itself in the country list
