Galaxy Tab 10.1 is one of the very first Android based tablets that Samsung released last year. Even though its quite old it still packs in a punch with a decent Tegra 2 chipset by nVidia. Back then it was launched with the (buggy) Honeycomb OS, but Samsung has now updated it to a much better Android 4.0.4 XWLPD official firmware. Just in case for whatever reason you didn’t get this update, the steps below will guide you how to.
