The first Samsung Galaxy Tab hit the market back in late 2010 with Android 2.2 Froyo, then Google launched Android Honeycomb optimized for tablets so I was a little behind in terms of OS. But for those who have their hands on a Samsung Galaxy Tab now reached an unofficial update to Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

In the Forum Galaxy Tab found this update Android 2.3 Gingerbread but be aware that bootloaders are signed but not insured so the Kernans custom firmwares can be flashed yet.

The Android 2.3 Update for Samsung Galaxy Tab is only compatible with the GSM version of the tablet and as a disclaimer as we always say we are not responsible if something happens to their tablets so we recommend it only for experienced users.

Is now available to Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread update for the Samsung Galaxy S, which fixes some bugs and improves the overall performance of the phone. Here is a tutorial to install Android 2.3.4 on Galaxy S! Moments ago I comment that’s already a new firmware Android 2.3.4 update for Samsung Galaxy S, which fixes some bugs of previous version 2.3.3 but unfortunately does not include Google Talk. Since it is not a file flasheable. Zip, the update must be performed by Odin.

Here ‘s a tutorial to upgrade the Galaxy S to Android 2.3.4 with Odin. Update Samsung Galaxy S to Android 2.3.4 (JVP) with Odin. Before you start make sure you have installed Odin. If not you can download from the following link: Download Odin 1.7.

Then, with the Galaxy S off, we need to connect via USB to your computer and turn on the phone in Download mode (volume down + Home + Power for a few seconds until a Android with a shovel).
