Galaxy Tab 10.1 LE (Google I/O) Android 3.1 update is out!

Thanks to Samsung for the prompt update! Thanks to Google for the free tablet!
To update, just go to Settings->About Tablet->Software Update->Check for Updates.
If you don't have a Samsung account, you will have to create one. I'm in the US, but there wasn't a choice for that so I chose UK and it worked just fine.
It will download the update and reboot to install it. The download is pretty quick, but the update takes quite a while to apply. Once it gets to about 73% complete or so, the update inches along very slowly. So just be patient.
After the update, the lock screen background is different but all my settings were preserved.
About tablet (after upgrade):
Android version: 3.1
Kernel: 2.6.36.3
Build: HMJ37.UEKF3 P7510UEKF3
EDIT:
- The upgrade does not make you loose root access. This tablet really is a dream for developers.
- I don't see any evidence of any TouchWiz components anywhere. It still appears to be stock.
- Since this is a WiFi tablet, there's still no access to the Android Video Store (plus I'm rooted). Supposedly that is only enabled on 3G tablets for some reason. Oh well, who cares.
Have fun!

Hi, has it got the awful touchwiz built in or is it still "vanilla" android?
My thanks, like you, to samsung for the update and the tab

I have rooted my IO tab and froze some of the samsung system apps with titanium backup. I'm hesitant to update until I get some more information.

I don't think if touchwiz is ready yet. It will be updated later...

Does this break root or CW recovery? Or can you boot into fastboot after the update?

Same here, rooted, apps frozen with TB.... not at all worried at the quality of 3.1 update versus 3.0.1 delivered on the tab at IO but would have to fall on my ceremonial sword if I updated and ruined a lovely piece of kit by subjecting it to touchwiz... More than my honour could handle
No disrespect but not interested in comments repeating ill informed speculation from" uninformed" blogs, just want a straight answer, so if you are still online ageitgey can you tell us yes or no as regards TW - thanks

Thanks a ton!

Downloading as we speak.

There is no sign of TouchWiz in 3.1. It looks completely the same as before, except minor differences (new lock screen background, slightly different wifi icon, etc).
Root was preserved after my upgrade. RootExplorer still works fine and was granted root permissions.
I didn't have Titanium installed, so I can't comment on that. But I doubt there would be an issue.

anybody else having issues updating?
I am getting
"Failed to update firmware. Try again useing PC software (Kies) or visit a Samsung service centre."
not really sure what to do from here.

Concur, no sign of touchwiz, root preserved, titanium works fine. Bizarrely background color of text box when writing this has changed from white to blue and font is dark blue. Apps seem to work ok.
Well report other changes as and when found

onovich, you are not alone. I get the same thing.

Maybe try what it says and try kies ( latest version of course and make sure you have installed latest drivers for the tab in kies- tools menu-" install driver")

I did, it doesn't connect via kies. It just spins saying connecting. although windows has no problem recognizing it.

oh thank god, ive been checking everyday for a month
any ideas on how to get the android video store working

any official change log
is usb host mode enabled

mine says the same thing are you rooted with clockwork as your recovery?

Kies says that "This version of the device cannot be updated".
OTA update doesn't work because I've rooted the ROM and installed busybox.
Probably after reverting to stock ROM via Odin OTA update will work?

Updated here, not too many changes noticeable to the end user. Wonder about USB Host - I suppose we need an adapter of some kind because of Samsung's proprietary 30pin port?

so whats the official word on updating
will it work if you are rooted , or unlocked bootloader, or both

After Update No-wifi!?

Hello, today I got my Amazon Kindle Fire! After starting an connecting to my Wifi network, I made an update, wich was available! But after installing the update I can´t find any Wifi-network! Also tried the factory reset, but didn´t work!
Can anybody help me? Is it possible to downgrade or something else??
Thx Chris

Try contacting tech support they might have something for you to flash. And if they do, you should post the files and process here. Unfortunately without solid kernel, or recovery information there's little we can do.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Hopefully, cause I don´t want send it back

After chatting with Amazon, the problem wasn´t solved! But I looked a bit more on the Amazon Homepage and found where I can download the Software Update to 6.1:
Download Link
And here is the instruction:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620
I will try it now and report what happends!

I think you already have that don't you?
When I got my KF, it immediately before I did anything updated to that version.
Code:
Current Version 6.1_user_2017120

Yes I have the one but I´ll try to run the update again manuelly, or do you think t wont work?

Masterc, didn't you say in another thread that you are in Austria?
You should mention that here if it is the case as it might affect the responses you get.

Yes thats true, but Wifi worked before I downloaded and installed the update! It also showed my name... the Amazon support told me it should work abroad..
I tried to install the update again, but it didn´t solve the problem.

So after playing around a while, the network pops up (yeahh) but when I enter the (right) passwort it always shows:
Error in conncection
unable to connect to selected access point. Please check the password you have provided
the kindle found my hotspot from my galaxy note (without password) and it connected just one time for arround 10 seconds..
Now I can´t connect again... quite intressting
Hopefully it is not the hardware - but I don´t think so otherwise I couldn´t download the update.

Samsung Galaxy Sky J3 SM-S320VL TracFone not flashing....

Here is the issue. A friend of mine had gone a bought a Galaxy Sky SM-S320VL from TracPhone. And had been using the phone without any problems until a couple of weeks ago. Then he decided to do a Factory Reset. Instead of doing the software reset, from with in Settings, he went and did a HARD Reset without unlocking the google account. And guess what, he can't remember the account information for that phone. And came to me to reset the phone. (As I had to deal with this problem in the past with other people and their phones.)
I have downloaded the only stock rom I can find for this phone and flashed it with Odin3. But for some reason the flashing of the rom is never done. By this I mean, the phone downloads the rom as Odin sends it. Odin reports a Success with the flashing. But, when the phone reboots. The system has not been reset and FRP is still active.
I have flashed only the AP, and the phone reboots directly into setup and shows a message about an unauthorized Factory Reset.
I have flash all 4 files in the ROM set (BL, AP, CP, and CSC). and Odin states the flash was a success. The phone reboots, goes to recovery and states Starting System Update. Goes so far into the update, then stops and shows Erasing. After a short time of showing Erasing it reboots to setup. Where again the phone shows the message about authorized Factory Reset.
I have used Odin3 v3.9.0, v3.11.1, v3.11.2, v3.12.5. And I have updated to the latest USB drivers from Samsung.
So my question is this. Has anyone had come across this behavior before? And how can I get past this?
The phones particulars:
Name: Samsung Galaxy Sky
Model #: SM-S320VL(GP)
OS v: 6.0.1
Firmware #: S320VLUDU2APJ3
Model #, as reported by Downloader: SM-S320VL
Note: As a strange side effect of when I flash all 4 rom files. For some reason once the phone has failed the system update, erased and has reboot. I have complete access to the phones User data area from within my computer. But, I am unable to access the phone with adb.

Hey folks,
I'm having the exact same issue as the OP. Odin does a successful install on the phone but I get the unauthorized reset message and then Wifi does not work when prompted on the next screen.
Is there a tracfone version of the rom or a fix that anyone here knows of? Thanks!

@drasnah
I have yet to get any kind of reply from anyone on this. Either now one knows, and is not stating so, or doesn't care.

I have seen the wi- fi fix in another thread.
Modify /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Hope that helps!

First this is not a wi-fi problem it is a re-flashing of the rom problem.
Second, I do not have access, root or otherwise, to any of the system files on the phone.
Third, with the first two in mind this possible solution is of no help.
Fourth, Re-read my original post. I have given complete detailed information as to what I have access to and what I have done.

Can someone send me a download think for this phone i downloaded one but it won't flash it keeps failing

This device has been locked down by Tradphone and Samsung. It gives errors flashing even the correct stock firmware. It's a piece of garbage. NEVER buy anything from Tracphone. Garbage company. You'll never fix this issue. Only pushed updates will flash via software from sammy and tracphone that is built into the rom..

Not sure if that's correct? It depends on the firmware and odin version being used.

Post more details on the error, screenshots, firmware and odin version used.

J3 sm s320vl... tracfone root availability? Just bought phone hopefully got a good one to root? Or maybe someone knows who maybe be able to... please help

No updates? Interested, I have the same phone.

There is no solution for this phone. It will forever be a Trac-phone.
Yes, it nice to imagine what could had been. If there was a fix for the locked bootloader. Its encrypted, and is highly unlikely to be broken by anyone.
Do not flash the boot.image that some people have suggested
Although that method works on some devices such as the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S5. In this case flashing the boot.image from an unlocked device does nothing but places the phone into an even more precarious situation, that makes it unusable even as a Trac phone.
While its true that this very low budget phone could had been decent with a custom Rom ,
You will not be able to get it working.
I have one that belonged to my daughter a couple of years ago and I managed to get it boot into the system again.
Its only function is as a calculator, or preschool game, the cellular reception and Wifi connections are highly unstable and will not stay connected.
Now it serves as my nieces play toy. I would donate to some poor person at the Salvation Army it if it was useable.
By the way, for anyone reading this.
If you have an old phone that is useable. You could dramatically help a Homeless people, by gifting them with a phone especially, if it has some minutes on it.
This gift will help them schedule job interviews, doctors appointments , etc and you will feel good knowing that you helped someone in need.
I have done this before, and will be dropping off a Blu phone, and Kindle Tablet this week.

I have permissible SE Status but can not achieve root on this device. Also, I have not found that anyone has had success rooting this exact model.
To be clear my device is the 2016 TracFone Samsung Galaxy J3 Sky model : SM-S320VL
Build S320VUDU1APG2
Hardware Version S320 VL04
I have found reports of people with S320VLUDU2API3 stating that the were able to achieve root and then assumed that it must also be possible with S320VUDU1APG2.
I am usually the guy that can figure these things out, very often before others. But I have had no success gaining root on this device using published methods. Also, I have not seen one example of someone with this identical device who gained root.
You are apparently the Wizard of these Samsung phones, so if you know of a definite way to root it, please point me towards the solution. I would really appreciate it.
I would love to root this phone, get it working again, and gift it to lady who was beaten by her husband and she is now living in a homeless shelter with her two children. She could use a phone to help with her job search. She would appreciate it.
At the moment this phone can will not keep a signal and I can't attempt the build prop solution without root.
Thank you.

See the thread below. Root was gained, albeit temporary. However I believe this is due to kernel panics which may be solved by a few build.prop edits. We had to do the same on the J327T1.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/help/samsung-galaxy-j3-sm-s320vl-rooted-t3561762
Also if you firmware S320VUDU1APG2 then why not just update it to the firmware that has been reported to work?

I have found one these phones left on a table of a food truck area, screen was cracked - the device was only getting the android guy with triangle on it, I done some research and found the stock rom and flashed it with odin; as some have mentioned in comments above I also experienced wifi issue, so I thought I had installed incorrect rom - downloaded a different one this was a combination file that was the factory repair rom used for testing the device, but wifi worked - it wasn't a fully working telephone it didnt have the app store, well it really didnt have any apps, but I found I could copy over apk files from my PC to the device and then install them, so the phones not completely useless or junk --- it could be used for something. I myself am using that device as a security camera using IP CAM app works great. I was actually using this device for quiet some time as my roku tv remote, because my actual roku remote grown legs and walked off... i havent tried this, but I am sure you could install a launcher apk such as "apex launcher"
well i wasted enough of your time today...

New Galaxy Tab S5e user - Not pulling updates

Hi everyone.
I just recently got a used S5e, mostly for the Dex capability. I am a consultant, so sometimes I'm in a location where I need a desktop, but don't always have room for my 15" laptop. I haven't had a Samsung device in years... preferring brands with easy root and a nearly limited skinning (currently, OnePlus devices... basically).
I had kind of resigned myself to not having root on this device, since it is a Samsung, so I was surprised when I came on here to see if anyone else was having the update problem, I found root threads. Currently, my device looks like it's on the May 2019 update (One UI 1.1, Android 9, Build PPR1.180610.011.T720XXU1ASED).
Still trying to resist rooting the device, especially since I saw the no-root debloat thread. But I would like to know how to get this stupid thing updated. From what I've read, it has to do with an XML file containing a Samsung URL that returns a 404 when queried manually. The software updater doesn't reflect that, though... and just says you're up-to-date.
So if I can root this and flash a debloated ROM, that would serve a few purposes. Otherwise, if there's a way to force an OTA (or find it and download it to the SD card), that would be fine, too.
Any advice.

If I'm understanding you right, you just want an OTA update applied? If that's the case, Frija is what you want to get the latest firmware for your device, and Odin will be your flasher. For stock rom flashes you don't even need an unlocked bootloader, much less root!
There are a ton of guides for Odin available, but still, if you have any questions please post!

Thanks for the reply!
I've used Odin quite a bit in the past, but I do know different situations need different files, so I'll probably do a quick refresher.
As for root, it definitely is a nice-to-have, mostly to remove bloatware, but if the debloat thread here works pretty good (and someone has info on just how much I can remove and keep Dex functionality), I would love to know that as well.

So, I am having a new problem. Using Frija, I downloaded the latest update. However, no matter what I do, I can't get a PC to recognize the tablet in download mode. It just says something about Windows not being able to recognize the device. In Device Manager, it says: "Device descriptor request failed". I've tried with and without the Samsung drivers, with three different USB cables, on two different PCs.
I'm worried that something is physically wrong with the USB port. That doesn't really make sense, though... as it charges fine, and shows up in Windows correctly once it's fully booted to Android.
**EDIT**
False alarm. I needed to press "up" again after getting into download mode and connecting the PC. So odd. It's updating now!

Fossil Gen 6 flashing Wear OS 2 instead of Wear OS 3

Hey! This is my first time here, sorry if I'm doing smth wrong, I just really need help. My fossil gen 6 is kinda useless at this point after updating to Wear OS 3 and I would like to flash it back to Wear OS 2, since I don't get any notifications & I can't even sync my notes at this point without connecting to wifi (not even through mobile data, which is pretty annoying -> my phone & watch doesn't connect to each other through bluetooth)
thanks, for any guides in advance!

You will have to perform a factory reset and repair the watch and phone again. Only option at the moment.

Did that 3 times already, nothing changed. Thanks for your answer though!

Did you get anywhere with this? I also want to go back to wear os 2. I hate the fossil app

I'd like to know too. I just came back to Android with the S23 Ultra and wanted to pair my Razer x Fossil watch to it. But I decided to update since I was doing a factory reset/disconnect anyways. Big big BIG mistake.
There has to be a way to flash wear OS 2.3 back to the watch and re partition it as stock. I'm able to see my watch as a USB perhp on my machine without BT or wifi connection.
Anyone have the old firmware for these watches? Short of buying another Razer watch for $600

I do have all the required files to go back to wearOS 2, but wont suggest it might brick your device. Have a partition backup first.
For OTA add the hash in the placeholder.

From what I found, the original cable with 4 spins (2 on each side) should be used to connect your watch to a PC and use the USB debugging.
So I bought one but nothing happened. I'm just able to use Bluetooth or WiFi debugging and these can't be used to unlock the bootloader as WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled on bootloader mode. So fastboot can't detect the watch.
So I'm stuck and that sucks, my duck.
Another way is to remove the watch's back and tweak the USB connectors but I'll not do that...

I see. I have been able to make it farther, but I also was running into problems getting the USB connection to work. Most of what I did was under Linux instead of Windows but I found that after enabling USB debugging I often had to remove the watch from the cradle, put it back on, then run 'adb devices' from the connected computer to get the daemon going. That usually got the adb popup on the watch to show, then I can select the 'always allow' option.
All that said, at the moment I'm not currently able to boot my watch unless I have the bootloader unlocked. I have restored the stock recovery after using TWRP and unsuccessfully flashing anything via that adb shell or from the bootloader with fastboot. Even worse, some things are not working properly, such as automatic brightness and some of the wireless capabilities. I might need to see if I can work something out with Fossil if I'm unable to resolve these issues.

You guys seems way ahead on me in the downgrade process...
I made Wear OS 3 update but the Fossil app used to pair the watch won't work with Oneplus 8 Pro (Android 13), gotta go back but i have no idea how...
Yet i flashed a lot of custom roms and stuff in the past, but now.. kinda lost
Im looking forward to see news here
Good luck guys, i'll keep updated if i somehow manage to flash the OTA posted ahead
Edit : well i was on Apkmirror to try an older apk of the app, and found out their app targets android 12 but not android 13..........

Most of what I did was under Linux instead of Windows but I found that after enabling USB debugging I often had to remove the watch from the cradle, put it back on, then run 'adb devices' from the connected computer to get the daemon going. That usually got the adb popup on the watch to show, then I can select the 'always allow' option.
All that said, at the moment I'm not currently able to boot my watch unless I have the bootloader unlocked. I have restored the stock recovery after using TWRP and unsuccessfully flashing anything via that adb shell or from the bootloader with fastboot. Even worse, some things are not working properly, such as automatic brightness and some of the wireless capabilities. I might need to see if I can work something out with Fossil if I'm unable to resolve these issues.

I do have the TWRP but need to find it, took some tweaks from Ticwatch 3 pro. I didnt pushed it on the repo tho. I didnt what made me do it, but I wiped my system partitions and had to rebuilt from the OTA only. But after getting the watch working again, I had few functionalities broke, including the OTA updates. If you can social enginner your way thru fossil to get files such as stock rom and other files for qualcomm software like rawprogrammer and firehose files it can be great help.
