This is How We Do It: Update Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Jellybean



We don’t know when will the most anticipated Ice cream Sandwich will arrive for Galaxy Tab 10.1, but Android 4.1.1 is here. The latest Android v4.1 aka Jellybean is now available for Galaxy Tab GT-P7510 & GT-P7500 and SCH-I905. XDA developer MapleSyrup developed an AOSP ROM for GalaxyTab 10.1, but they will run on the other two devices as well. The ROM is in its ALPHA BUILD, ie: is experimental so some of the things might not work.

NOT WORKING

– Camera
– 3G (for the P7500)
– 4G (for the SCH-I905)
– AGPS (network based location)

WORKING

– Wi-Fi
– Audio
– HW accelerated video [Just GT-P7510, at the moment]

DISCLAIMER: Install or Not is not responsible for any damage that happens to your device. Flash this at your own risk.

Before starting with the installation process make sure you backup everything you need, in case something goes wrong a factory reset is needed. If you are not already on a custom ROM, remember that root system access is required.

Check that you have the latest and correct version of the recovery for your model. If you don’t do this you’ll get assert error 7 when trying to install.

A full wipe is recommended, also formating /system . (Do this before reporting problems)
