I know this is odd but Samsung has this setup strange...
If you are on OH7 and want a newer firmware but do not want to Odin the firmware here you are.
First if you download SmartSwitch directly from Samsung it will give you BOJ1.
There really is not anything to it except for downloading and installing the PC software.
Get SmartSwitch here http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
Once you connect the device with SmartSwitch open it will prompt you to update to BOJ1 5.1.1.
If you would like the LATEST firmware for the Tab S2 T710 directly from Samsung you must use Kies 3.
1. Download Kies 3 for PC http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201601/20160113145814167/Kies3Setup.exe
2. Connect your device and ignore any suggestion to download SmartSwitch. (Kies keeps complaining and suggesting you download SmartSwitch)
3. Once you pass all the SmartSwitch suggestions you will be on a Kies screen that looks like its not detecting your Tab S2. From here Click "Tools"
4. Select Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
5. Type your model name "SM-T710" (Make sure you type this in capitol letters)
6. Type your serial number when prompted.
7. Click OK when asked if you "want to proceed with the firmware upgrade and initialization" (all settings and data will be deleted but not after you press OK)
8. The next popup will be another to confirm the upgrade to OL6. (This is the last chance to abort the flash)
Notes:
-It should be noted that once you upgrade to a particular firmware you might not be able to downgrade to the previous ones.
-I am not exactly sure why OL6 is not available via SmartSwitch. Perhaps it is because SmartSwitch is new and they have not linked the update with the servers yet.
-OJ6 is also available via Sammobile as an Odin flashable TAR.
