SamMobile claims they've already received OTA update to ICS!

There's a button in Odin that's labeled "PDA".
Tap that button, and you will then get a browse window.
From there, browse to where you saved the firmware file and select the file.

Exacting the info I needed. Too bad that is not in the instructions. Worked perfectly and everything works great. Thanks.

Glad to see.
I just flashed the update here, and all went well.

Did that too. Still nothing. How does Odin know where the firmware is? I think there may be a lot of "assumptions" that you already know what to do & how to do it.

I don't think flashing ROMS is for you since you can't seem to understand the directions. You may be better off waiting for the OTA update which should be coming soon.

Can this be done on any version of the us tabs? I have a Verizon 4G tab and don't want to screw it up.

No, as stated it's for the WiFi only tabs. If you flash it you'll lose your 4G connection.

How do you get Odin on the Tab? Never rooted before. Thanks.

You don't. It's for your computer.

Flashing was no problem once "all" the steps that were left out of the Odin instructions were explained. I can understand instructions if they are complete. I don't like to make assumptions on what to do next. It went very smooth and everything works fine.

Something must be set wrong then. I installed the update, and it works perfect. Everything is in English including all new email I've received. Check your language settings.

I was joking about the Gaelic!!!

Couple questions:

does flashing the UK version void the warranty at all?

will I receive the OTA update to the US version whenever it comes out?

I just flashed the UK ICS update and everything went smoothly. Thanks to everyone for posting directions and hints, made it easy. So far it looks good.

One question I have, I don't seem to have an option for the standard Android keyboard. My options are only Samsung and Swipe. I like the standard ICS Android keyboard on my phone and was hoping to use it on my tab. Anyone know if I should have the Android keyboard as an option or if there is a way to get it? Otherwise I guess I can look for 3rd party options on the play store.

Thanks,
Peter

Does CM9 stable build work for the 32 gig version also? Only reason I ask is because on their site it says only for 16 gig.

For some reason they eliminated the Android keyboard.

 

[WordPainter]

Yes the Android keyboard is no more. There are several great options in the Play store though. I use Go Keyboard Pro.

First time flashing anything (or anyone). Stock 3.2. Unrooted.
Tab is on the downloading screen, last line on tab says to press start on Odin. Odin has the yellow go-ahead box, browsed to the right file in the PDA box, hit start, series of messages, the last being "boot.img" after the firmware update start message.

Problem being it's been 35 minutes with no discernible movement on my computer or. Thanks. tab. Any suggestions? Anyone out there ?

 

[johnnex72]

Well, that was easy. I just needed to plug into a different USB port. Also pressing the up button after connection with the cable PC may be important.

It's worked flawlessly today. thanks to everyone who posted info and tips.

I just checked for updates and it gave me the updated option. I have a 10.1 wifi 32gb tab!!!!! It's installing as we speak. The total file size is 254.01 mb.......

All right!!!!!
