Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6810 Gets XXLPM Based Android 4.0.4 ICS Update [How to Install]

Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6810 owners have been able to update to official Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) firmware from Samsung since last month. The XXLPM ROM based Android 4.0.4 ICS update is the latest official update for the 7.7-inch tablet device. However, there is still no word on an official Jelly Bean update for the premium Samsung tablet.

This guide takes you through the procedure to install the XXLPM based Android 4.0.4 ICS firmware using ODIN.

Key Points to Note

  • ?The ROM and the instructions given in this guide are applicable for the Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6810 model only and will not work with any other device. Verify your device's model number by navigating to Settings > About phone.
  • ?As the firmware is based on an official Android 4.0.4 ICS update for Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6810, you will lose root access soon after installing it on your device. You need to root the tablet once again to recover full system access to install root-based third-party apps and tweaks.
  • ?The instructions provided in this guide are meant for reference purpose only and do not cover any warranty claims involving device damage or issues arising out of installing this ICS update. Users are advised to proceed at their own risk.

Prerequisites

You may do an automated data backup through Samsung KIES or employ a manual method for more flexible options.
