SM-T900 Lollipop upgrade ETA

[Chad Boudjouk]

Does anyone know when SM-T900 (Wifi version) is getting the Lollipop upgrade? I mean we're approaching Sept 2015. I think we're due, c'mon Samsung. I've already opened a case with tech support but have not heard back. Please provide an update ASAP thanks.

You didn't tell us where you live. Lollipop has been out for weeks now in the US and some other countries.

I think you mistakes Galaxy Note Pro (SM-P900) with Galaxy Tab Pro (SM-T900). The Tab Pro is still at Kitkat 4.4.2 NK1 while the Note Pro is at Lollipop 5.02 OH2, the latest build for the two similar tablets 12.2.
Based on alphabetical order of US version:
NK1= Version 1 released on November 2014, Kitkat 4.4.2
OH2 = Version 2 released on August 2015, Lollipop 5.0.2

Thanks Beut. I didn't know that there was two different dates for both tablets.

It's very easy to see when the build released based on alphabetical order:
0= 15 or 2015
H= 8 or August
The last number is version
N= 14 or 2014
K= 11 or November

You only need to look at the last 3 characters of a build, like AP_P900UEU1COH2_CL5574008_QB5982961_REV00_user_low_ship.tar

Correct, I have the Tab Pro 12.2 (T900) and live in the US. I am still running KitKat (confirmed no updates on Kies). So again, when is the expected lollipop ETA? I've read Q3 2015 online so that would give Samsung until then end of this month (Sept). Any ideas?

It's just starting to roll-out with the UK receiving it first.

Here's the link to download it...

Firmware archive | Samsung Updates

You need to install it via Odin. How to do that can be found by searching. You should be fine running a UK ROM on a U.S. device since there's been no carrier molestation. You should really continue this conversation in a Tab Pro forum. Good luck.

I flashed 2 Tab Pros today over the Kitkat NK1 of US

Does anyone know when the SM-T900 will receive v5.1.1 in the US? Either via OTA download or Kies. Thanks in advance.

If you want to experiment with Lollipop, upgrade your tablet to UK version, there's no difference except it has more languages for Europe's region

 

[Chad Boudjouk]

I ended up loading the UK firmware as well. It's running great now thanks.

Re: SM-T900 Lollipop upgrade ETA and language support

Those languages are already on the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition (for the USA and Europe region models).

Model: SM-P6000ZKVXAR running Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H.P600UEUCOI1)
