As many of you know, the official ICS Android 4.0.4 for Galaxy Tab 10.1 was pushed out last night. For those of you who have updated, you should be good to go. For those of you on a custom ROM, here’s how to unroot/update your Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500 or P7510) to the official ICS.
Also you can use this method to update your Galaxy Tab 10.1 on a stock unroot/rooted ROM.
If you are on a custom ROM, please MAKE A BACKUP OF EVERYTHING ON YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE, as doing a “Factory reset” (at the end of the video) will erase all contents of your internal storage including photos and videos.

(Don’t have unzipping program? Download and install 7Zip first.)
If you don’t have Windows, you can use Mobile ODIN PRO (available on Play Store) to unroot/update to official ICS.

hi there max!
thanks a lot for this, i was waiting so much time and i finally it came! one question, is there any way for rooting the tab on the ics or we have to wait? thank you very much
Hi… finally… everything is working fine? Camera etc?
Yep. Everything works fine. You just have to update adobe flash, that’s all 😉
oh sorry max i’ve just checked you home website and realize that you just made it again! you’re big my man, really big!!!
all good! 🙂
Hi there Max,
You are great! !!!
Everything is working fine
What is the best custom rom for the p7500 with ICS and with a working camera?
Ive got a gt-p7510 in the uk, but the ota update option is reporting no update available. Any one got it to work?
My tab is gt p7510 from us and when i checked the ofi update it didnt find anything so, just do this metod, its simple just do it like on the video and everything will be fine!
Mine too is from the usa. Just updated over the air as now available. Benefit of this method is that it is an upgrade so you dont loose any apps, or settings. Differences seem to be speed, fonts and colours. Wifi reconnection on wake much more reliable too.
Hi there max!
I have a P7500 tablet and i didn’t install any custom ROM on my tablet and i only rooted it.But now when i check for update it says there is no update.also when i’m in Odin download mode on my tablet it says Current Binary: Samsung Official.Do i have to download this stock ROM for my P7500 to upgrade to Android 4.0.4?
No you dont have to go to stock ROM. I came off of galaxy task straight to 4.0.4 with no problems.
hey i appreciate your every tutorial,and thanks for the guide and the tricks.
i wanted to know if this works for galaxy tab 10.1 P7500 3G version as well.
yes i followed this instruction and my 3G 10.1 tab updated to 4.0.4 version.Thanks a lot Max
So this version supports camera?
And does anyone know how to make backup directly in a penfrive?
I am just a new user so plz help me with these stuffs. 🙁
Thanks***
Hi there
it went very fine for me on the 3G version ..
however, now the tablet is locked on – i guess – the italian carrier network and i can not use my own simcard ! any solution to that ?
thanks a lot !!
Hi, The same has happened to my 3G version it is now sim locked!.
Have you managed to remove yours?
not yet ! havent had much time since then ..
and you ?
I had to pay for it unlocking to any network again. Called Samsung UK but that was a waste of time. I have read this has happened to a few people, strange why it does it. BTW i used mrunlock to do it.
Hi Max!
Thanks a lot!
This’s working fine!
Not a bad little ROM, have found the ALL SHARE App is’nt supporting AVI/XVID/DIVX files thouth, back to using MX Player…
I still think JellyBean (CM10) is smoother and faster, I think I’ll go back to it once the next revision comes out with more functionality.
does this JellyBean have camera support ?
No it doesnt, i have tried it and really runs fast and smooth but it still has some crashes and no camera, but dont worry, now that the drivers are out theres no doubt that it will come 100% working in a few days/weeks. I cant wait for it!
Than you! This is very cool! 🙂
I have one question. Actually I have my Galaxy tab 10.1 Overclocked to 1.4 Ghz. If I Do this, can I keep this overclock or not? I mean, ICS can be overclocked? (Sorry, my english is not good).
You can install custom kernel to get OC.
Max could you please share a link to an oc kernel 100% working?
I had always use this one; Works just perfect

Hey thanks a lot i will try it when i get home! does it work for sure on ics with working camera and that things? that would be awesomeeeee!!!
thans a lot again dude
i have try this . but cnt turn on my tab. it stop on boot screen.
It runs fine, but Netflix and some videos are not working/running well. Anyone with the same problem?
Not bad on my device.maybe it’s your connection issues
I dont mean connection, its things like vídeo hanging but áudio and subtitle keep going.
same goes here. netflix not running well. it stop after 2-3 mins run.
i update the rom from 3.1 task650 . no need to perform factory reset.
Thanxz works well for me,pretty smooth and fast..now waiting for the custom ROMS to get in ready with all the features working properly along with the camera..
And for the official jelly bean aswell,coz it is more smooth then ICS, as i found.
Appreciate your effort Max, thanxz alot..
One question: can we overclock stock ROM, i mean this one…?
Thank you 🙂
Tested this ICS and is awful, dull and slow. Only good thing is working camera. AOKP ICS ROM Milestone 6 is way better. Waiting for AOKP to port camera app to their ROM. Then AOKP will be perfect.
Hi, where can I download AOKP milestone 6 for P7500?
i have GT-P7510MA from us, i have never ROOT my device
i try to run this update ICS Android 4.0.4
and when the device is reset i do not get the download screen
only the samsung logo
Is this update suitable only for ROOT device?
You should enter recovery mode by pressing power and volume down then perform a factory reset.This will fix your issue
ye that what i did, and when the device is reset i get only the samsung logo for few minuteand than its reset again and again..
Someone having the same problem?
Finally it worked for me!! Even all My file and apps was stored on the tablet.
Installed from stock 3.2. Works really well. No need factory reset.
Verdict : Totally worth it. UI & performance a lot smoother than honeycomb.
Thanks Max for the guidance!
can it overcome to 1.4 ghz ?
So, does this work with pershoot overclocking kernel?
i want to know also. reply pls 🙂
No it doesn’t. I’ve recently tried, and just freeze on the boot.
i have try also..it also freeze on the boot. and i try other version ,than i can turn on my tab . …but wifi does not work.
but, max say can.waiting for he reply.
Yeah i m gonna try it when i get back home i m over at my parents house without my tab but will have an update for overclocking.
thx bro 🙂
waiting for ur good news 🙂
ok .thx 🙂 waiting for ur good news 🙂
I tried this update and now it will not boot. When I try to recover I get the recover icon but when I select it the tab just shuts down. Help !!!! Also when I plug into computer it is not recognized.
hi max
thanks for your step, i success upgrade my galaxy tab
Would you try to overclock ICS and then publish which kernel you use?
I had try with Pershoot, but nothing. Just freeze on the boot. An overclock would be great for gaming.
ya.. me too. and i try pershoot for ics it can be turn on find. but wifi cnt work. any stable kernel version ? pls help.:-)
Already installing ICS…. manually.. get the file from XDA..
Also rooted succesfully..
Only got some market problem..
Is it bcuz Im from Indonesia? where ICS official update not start yet?
Trying to connect my tab 10.1 to kies (to get ics update) but just keeps saying connecting. Any advice.
What is ur country? UK and Italy officially get ice update.. other country soon in august get too..
But if u too curious… just manually install it from XDA..the instruction is pretty easy
Excellent, i’ve updated my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi GT-P7510, and everything works, no need to do the factory reset. And after begin it automatically detected to Portuguese-pt-BR. I recommend, much better the sistem, much faster. Thanks.
I can’t seem to get my WiFi tether to work with my phone on this ROM. When I scan to try and find an available network on my Galaxy Tab, it does not see my WiFi tether connection on my Sprint 4G LTE. Please advise.
This is a re-post because Admin has not replied…I can’t seem to get my WiFi tether to work with my phone on this ROM. When I scan to try and find an available network on my Galaxy Tab, it does not see my WiFi tether connection on my Sprint 4G LTE. Please advise.
Hi…It asks me for a password to unzip the file for 7500…?!
Hello,
Thx so.much for the image
It.turned.my tab to.be very.smoth and fast
But.i have two issues if any one can help
Am.not able to brows anything.via 3g sim card
It was.working.propely with the.old rom but after the upgrade it catch the signal but without any response. To browsing !!
The 2nd issue that swype arabic keyboard disapeared and.am.not able to find it again
Any help ??
Did you flash P7500? If so, try APN settings for 3G.
Reference:
http://androidroothelp.com/android-custom-rom-questions/after-installing-custom-rom-i-lost-data-3g-and-4g-not-working/
thx, i managed to fix it
for some reason the APN proxy settings and authentication was changed !!
anyway its working propely now
but i still can’t find swype arabic keyboard, it disappeared for every where 🙂
appretiating if you can help in finding it
Hey like me.After Update i cant use my MTN sim card internet and i checked anything in APN but i don’t know maybe this update doesn’t support MTN sim cards :).I changed my operator and it works good now.also i had Persian Keyboard on Honeycomb,because this update doesn’t release for Middle East so it doesn’t contain Persian,Arabic,etc… i download GO keyboard with Persian Support.
are you able to download from google play?? Cuz i am also in south africa but i am using 8.ta
Thanks, the update worked great on my rooted custom rom P7500. Camera works, and lost no data at all.
is there another place to download the rom from?
This server is MEGA slow. It’s gonna take 10+ hours to download and my connection is fast
Can any of you confirm that the ROM includes Scandinavian keyboards (Danish/Swedish/Norwegian)?
The official update is not available from Samsung, in India yet – so this was a godsend!
Worked like a charm, thanks! :o)
Only wish the onscreen keyboard were as nice as the previous one…
hi max
I have gt-p7500 3g running official 3.2 rooted by ur method software.
I’m average with this hacking stuff. So plz guide me.
I am not sure this hack is good my tab. not sure the 3g will work.
And when i check for update software it say no updates.
Would you be kind enough to make another video for 3g version. Or just explain in detail will this work for 3g
Install stop missing out, i have a tab 10.1 3G and everything works, no need for factory reset so no data loss and all apps work
So there is no need to root? just install this rom direct?? Inteesting…. Cuz i dont wana do the update and then the tab wont download from google play. To all who have updated using the P7500 3G plus wifi is it able to download from google play using carrier network?
As i rooted my galaxy SII (no regrets) to ics using salmans rom, it works perfectly but i cannot download from google play.
Is the tab working?
Does the update have to be completed through ODIN, or can you do it through CWM recovery (like other zip file ROMS)?
yes, you have to use odin due to it being stock + unroot. Remember that stock roms do not use cwm
I kinda thought that may be the reason, thanks.
This new software is magic, been running now for over half an hour and i am loving it. So much smoother interface is great, the problem of downloading from google play is fine, actually its wirking pefectly, tab is much quicker, colours brighter and deeper, i have the P7500 (3G + wifi) and its working on 3G lol i am using it now to post here…..
Max dude you rock, i am sorry i took long to find this page, i thought you only do galaxy S2 phones and have been following you closely and boom found this. tab 10.1 on ICS. ?……… Whatttt……. Yeah thank bro you rock. Anyone with a not rooted tab just install all apps and data remain and it booted one shot lol i think maxes tab was giving errors due to him running a custom rom. Thanks again bro for all your posts and hacks, tips and updates, i done know what i would have done without it…. Max respect. Peace!
hey!!thanks a lot!!!works for me,
just one thing, im not getting that effect when i scroll my applications..its just same as before.help, how can i set this up??
Hi,
I have a rooted GT-P7500 and it has cloakworkmod recovery installed
can I follow this method to unroot it???
Go ahead straight with that procdures.it works for me.i got gtp7500, rooted.and i just followed the instructions and now im enjoying t tab more than ever.just having problem with the display effect.
By the way if I use this method to flash 3.2 is it ok???
Pls reply as fast as you can!!
As long as you have a STOCK ROM remember custom roms work with CWM but stock roms need to be OTA (over the air) or using ODIN. So if you have HC v 3.2 than go ahead
I followed exactly what the video said and reinstalled android 3.2 and unrooted it!!!
Awesome!!!!!
like the tablet is all brand new!!perfect!!!even mu brother is enjoying it
hey max!
i want to add kernel to 1.4gHz.is it possible in this rom??will it work fine??and, how??
SORRY, i cant just wait for more of your vidz…=) its sooooo helpful!!
You should wait until max return home.He is at his parents house atm 🙂
I’ve tried this one. There are two versions. The first with 1.2 ghz (That’ve work in my tablet) The other with 1.4 ghz (That’s have not u.u)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833136
Sorry; both work just perfect. If it doesn’t just install again and again. It should work.
Hey max!im ur fan now:-)
Hey people! The overclock kernel to 1.4ghz is out for the sock ics rom. Just search for voodoo kernel xda galaxytab 10.1 on google. Now this is fast! 🙂
Did you try it?
Are you using it?
Must i root?
Yes im using it and its going perfect, not a problem. yes you must ve rooted and have cmw. make a backup and then just flash it 🙂
Instalei em meu Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi GT-P7510 e está perfeito!!!!
A câmera está funcionando…está tudo funcionando…reconheceu o idioma e minha rede wifi automaticamente… está mais rápido e com novas funções… excelente!!! 🙂
im not able to downoad multiple apps from the play store.one download and it takes a lot of time, and while its downloading, i cannot browse for other apps.
Help please!what should i do?i hope max is here right now
i have the galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 3g and i cant get 3g
is this the right rom for me ?
how should i get 4.0.4 official with 3g
Did you already flash a rom?
Or is your tab just not working properly?
For v4.0.4 just downliad using the provided link from max thst reads “stock rom for wifi p7500” also make sure you have a p7500 not ANY other variants. Once download is complete unzip the files, run odin and put ur tab into download mode. Go on odin and hit pda search for the .tar file and select it. Then just hit start. I did that to my tab and its working great… Everything works.
i flashed the rom for my p7500 but i think the rom contains a modem firmware that is not supported where i am im in Egypt so i think its like lock now
any ideas how to unlock it ?
I am not too sure, do me a favour, go into stock recovery and wipe data and clear dalvik cache.
This is for your tab not network dependent, as long as you have a P7500 that is not network locked but it seems to be us/uk networks that do that.
i did that and still same issue
so im going back to stock 3.2 that is from Samsung for Egypt
i might take the Modem.bin file from 3.2 and replace it with the one in 4.0.4 it might get the 3g to work
Wait before you do that, the tab works but says “no internet connection” at the bottom of the screen?
If yes go into settings and check mobile networks/mobile data check GSM/WCDM settings cuz mine did that once and i figgitted with that and it came right. If you need apns holla and i will mail.
it says Authentication failed through the Proxy server !!!
but the signal is 3g
do i need only APNs to get pass that ? 😀
Yes you do. I thougt you did not get any signal at all.
Your problem is that lack of apns.
If you have an android phone or have a friend that does, just download my back up (trial) and back up his apns, zip and send it to your tab, unzip the file into your tab directory reding “rewire” and us my back up to install the apns into your tab.
Sorry for the late replay….
Download link doesnt work, any alternate links?
should be working now.
Max, I copied this overclock kernel to my tablet, but when I go to flash it in recovery I don’t see the file. Please advise…
Excelent! I’ve done in my Galaxy Tab 10.1″ 3G P7500 and it works perfect! My carrier data is Personal Argentina and after flash to ICS it´s works perfect!
Thanks
Max thank you for your hard work, but I’m very disappointed in how the Official ICS Android 4.0.4 works…
I’ve upgraded automatically via standard checking for updates
How to downgrade from Official ICS Android 4.0.4 to Official Android 3.2? help please 🙁

Did anyone who id using a non-englidh alphabet language keyboard try this? I mran what if i have an arabic letters keyboard (or arabic support natively) because i bought my tab in the middle east, will i lose this keyboard and arabic support after using such method? Also anyone know when is it officialy coming to places like middle east?
Hi Max, i wonder if i can use CWM v6.0.1.1 for install ICS on P7500? thanks a lot Max
Hi guys,

Hi I’m new here. I just root my galaxy tab 2 gt p5100. But I can’t access my 3G . It say no connection at the bottom of the table. PLS HELP!
Hi,
did anyone of you experience higher battery drain rates after update to ICS? I think my battery discharges faster now, although i’m not 100% sure.
I tried re-calibration as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16771651&postcount=41
But i think drainage is still faster than it used to be before the update..
Any thoughts?

yes.
if i do factory reset afterwards is it okay?im thinking of starting it freshhhh.
Hi Max, thank you for this. I was unable to accomplish it though because the recovery file I put on my desktop, but when I go to flash using odin it does not see the file. I assume this is a problem with odin because the file is there. Please help Max! Thank you.
Make sure you don’t unzip the file.
i have a galaxy tab 10.1 7510 the wifi version , i got this problem i tried to OC changing the kernel A1 well now doesnt came out of the galaxy tab logo ….. i got stock! do you know any method wich i can use to get out that logo?
Do you have ICS stock ROM? If not, that might be why it got stuck, if on CM10, simply flash the ROM over without wipe to get the original kernel back.
To fix i had to install the rom u post in this pag with odin lost all my spps bu i got my tab back .. this is a grest page
