Samsung tablets are often left out in the cold when it comes to firmware updates, it isn't unknown for one of its flagship tablets to be 2 or even 3 versions of Android behind Google's latest release. I'm sure that owners of the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition will understand where I'm coming from seeing as that device has languished on Android 4.4.2 KitKat since its launch (unless you had the T-Mobile variant). There is cause to rejoice for some, though, because the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update is finally available to download for the SM-P600 (WiFi) variant.
The Android 5.1.1 firmware update comes in at around 1.3GB and is aimed at the Spanish model with the PHE product code. The update has a build date of October 23, with a change list number of 101969629 for what its worth. Because Samsung doesn't hand out change logs, it's virtually impossible to figure what they have changed or fixed in the new firmware.
If you have the Spanish version of the SM-P600, it might be worth your while going into Settings, About Phone and tapping the Software Update tab to see if the update is available. If it isn't (or you have a model from a different region but with the same model number) and you are impatient, you can always just download the firmware(here) and flash it manually via Odin.

Ever since the update to lollipop my S Pen only works if I put it back in & then remove to get the Air Commands. It no longer works by pressing the button while hovering over any page. Any suggestions?
When will Samsung release the update for the us?im dying here.
how do we root this XUDOJ3 firmware? CF-autoroot method sends me bootlooping.
Thanks for the link, I’m thinking this is the way to go, what’s the worst that could happen?
Famous last words.)
Yeah just use the xda forums and watch videos if you have any doubts about anything. Follow directions to the letter also.
There is slight risk involved, but only if you’re careless.
actually i just realized that rooting to upgrade to 5.1.1 is unnecessary. you can download the 5.1.1 and then just install it via download mode. even if you got root access, once you upgrade to this firmware you will lose it anyway.
Thanks again for the info, good to know.)
I hope its coming this way in the U.S., this is still a beast of a tablet stuck on 4.4.2, I don’t root so I’m stuck.
You suck Samsung I paid 550$ for this and got one update, if not for the s pen I would have kicked Samsung to the curb long ago, just I love my notes after the 2014 edition I was hooked made me buy the note 4, and now I just want another oem to start using active digitizers.
I got this update on my note 10.1 2014 from T-Mobile months ago. Battery life is great
