Hi Jules,
You need to be sure that you are flashing the correct firmware. Check you model from Settings> About and try the compatible firmware. If you tab did not come with SIM support, it not have this feature vy a firmware update.
Thank You very much for this tutorial!

No need not then install the drivers but do not forget to close Kies while installing via Odin.
Hello? There’s no Ripple Lockscreen so you can scratch that in the updates section of this post
Why no Ripple Lockscreen?!
Downloaded the UK firmware! Little lag in opening the app drawer. Same when returning to home screen. It was my first time flashing my Tab! THANKS!
Nice!
One problem. I do not have the Ripple Lockscreen.
This update work on the GT-P3113.
Thanks
I remember a user flashed it on P3113 but he got a few issues. I would not recommend it to you. Currently there are no FW updates for the device.
