The Gingerbread update has been out for weeks now, but I can't get my Tab to update. I've tried rebooting numerous times, but it still thinks it's up to date.

How can I force it to update? Or can I manually install the update from somewhere?

Thanks
 
try calling CS and see if they can push the update to you...probably a long shot but who knows. I only suggest it because I was looking for a way to force the update and my google-fu came up empty.
 
Would rooting affect whether or not you get the update? I'm rooted and I've not gotten any updates.
 
Just talked to Verizon and they said they can't do anything about it, and to try calling Samsung.

If I had bought the tab from them, they offered to swap it out for a new one, but I bought it used, so I'll probably just root it and flash a ROM of my choosing.
