Install/Update P6200XXLQ7 XEU UK Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-P6200 Official Ice Cream Sandwich Firmware

An ice cream Sandwich Upgrade for United Kingdom's Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus GT-6200 is now officially released by Samsung.  UK's update takes for awhile a delay since the ICS began rolling from July which started in Austria.  Now, UK users can finally upgrade to its official firmware build with default XEU as CSC file. This United Kingdom's firmware build number is P6200XXLQ7, which got the modem version of P6200XXLQ1, but this one is the most latest build among from earlier builds like P6200XXLQ1, P6200XXLQ2 and P6200XXLQ6.

If you previously tried out the XXLQ2 and XXLQ6, this firmware looks similar and there's no major changes and features noticeably added. When it comes to battery consumption its almost equal from other ICS builds. I can't say that this one is much more stabler, but you can try this one if you had experienced some random reboots and force closes from previous ICS builds.
