(This applies both 7500 7510 and was writen when we didn't had the wifi only version, so for 7510 ignore the mention steps)

On step 1, you can use also:

ODIN->PDA->SELECT FIRMWARE AND AFTER PUT TAB IN FLASH MODE CLICK START

NOTE: Obviously I shouln't have to say this but... WiFi only guys may run into a bug of some sort if trying to apply this. I haven't had any prblems yet. Everything works: WiFi, GPS, Camera, Auto-brightness, G-Sensor etc. If something wrong happens, then it's not my fault!

That said there are a few things going on because of running a P7500 ROM on a P7510. Like there is a signal indicator in the status bar showing no signal. There are mobile data options in the settings menu. The device is recognised as a P7510, i think you get the point.

Now to the actual instructions.

Step 1: Putting ICS on
- Create a Nandroid backup!
- Download & install Mobile Odin by Chainfire. [Redistrubution is not allowed so I've linked to his thread] <- Read that properly before you go onto the next step so it's istalled properly!
- Download the firmware and unzip
- Move the file P7500XXLQ8_P7500OXALQ8_P7500XXLQ8_HOME.tar.md5 to the root of your Tab.
- Open Mobile Odin
- Select the .md5 firmware you just put onto your Tab
- *IMPORTANT FOR WIFI TABS* Select Modem and press Clear
(there's no need to select the option of auto root or odin insall 'cos it wont work! )
- Select the 2 wipe options
- Plug your tab into the power supply
- Press the fflash firmware button

---------------------------------------------------
LET IT DO IT'S OWN THING. LEAVE IT AND WAIT FOR IT TO RESTART TO THE SETUP SCREEN
---------------------------------------------------
Done now your running ICS, but wait - you don't have root! or CWM recovery for that matter! Don't worry, keep reading!

CWM Recovery and Rooting:
- Download this update.zip for rooting your tab and move it to the root of your tab
- Put your tab into download mode
- Plug it into the computer
- Let the computer install the drivers (Automatic on Win 7 - unsure about other OS's)
- Download and unzip Odin 1.85
- Download CWM Touch Recovery & save to same folder as Odin 1.85
- Open up odin
- Click PDA and select the file named recovery.tar.md5
- Click start
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LET ODIN DO IT'S THING & WAIT FOR TAB TO RESTART
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Put the tab into recovery mode.
- Select install from sd card and select Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_10.1_root.zip
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LET RECOVERY DO IT'S THING
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tap go back and then reboot now


There you have it stock ICS for P7500 & P7510 rooted.

It works for me. I restored my apps + data using Mybackup Pro. Thanks for your work!

Cool! It may be possible to install the CWM recovery during the ROM install by downloading it from the Cwm website and using that recovery . I'm under the recovery option in mobile odin and skipping straight from initial reboot to putting it into recovery mode and installing the root update.zip. However I forgot to do that so I'm not sure if it'll work or not!

So the firmware is for the UK. What happens if I flash this on my US tab?

If anyone has the issue where it just sits at the Samsung logo just reboot into recovery and do a data/cache wipe.

I assume the camera works?

Everything works.

After pressing flash firmware, I have the odin logo on my tab for 10 mins now.

Is this normal?
If not, what should I do now?

Thanks for bringing this nice guide.
So do I get this right that there is no way to flash the rom without wiping?
