[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] iRock48:
So the directions indicate this can be done using a "one step" process.

I downloaded the file: Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N8010-DBT-KIES-1354341369.zip as indicated on the first post. Is this the JB update file that is discussed below? Do I use this file or the graffixnyc file below???

Now according to the directions, the process described in the quote box details a "two step" process... I have no frickin idea which steps are not necessary in the first post, or how to install the update.zip file, etc.. The directions may be simple, but they are not intuitive..

Here are the directions (w/o the images):

So the steps I need are the following:

1) download and install ODIN (Blue text below)...

2) Install Kies on my PC (dont know how to do that yet)

3) Not sure what step 3 is...do I install the the base German ICS ROM (CSC=DBT, N8010XXALI3) or skip this and go to #4

4) Move the update.zip file you downloaded to the root (upper most) directory of an SD card and insert the SD card in to your device. ---again, is the update.zip file from the Samsung-Updates.com-GT-N8010-DBT-KIES-1354341369.zip or the graffixnyc download???

When do I use ODIN and where do I install Kies??

Any help would be most appreciated..

Basically what you’re doing is replacing your current PDA (MD5) file with the version that the just-released N8010 German JB update’s looking for in order to run. To do that, you’re going to install two files: 1) The German N8010 base ICS ROM followed by 2) the German N8010 update file that updates ICS to JB. The way the two files are installed is different and explained in two steps below.

For the first step, getting the base German ICS ROM installed, it’s easier for those that are stock to use desktop Odin. You can download Odin 1.85 here…

Make sure you’ve got Kies installed on your PC because it installs the Windows drivers necessary for Odin to see your device.

Download the base German ICS ROM (CSC=DBT, N8010XXALI3) here…

Download the JB update file that graffixnyc posted here…

Unzip the German ICS file you downloaded. After it's extracted you should see an MD5 file. That's what you're going to install in step one. Right-click on the Odin EXE file you downloaded and run it as administrator.

Put your device in to “download mode” by turning it off and then restarting it by pressing the power and volume down buttons at the same time. You should see an “are you sure?” message from Samsung. Accept it and your device is now in download mode.

Connect your device to your PC via USB. If the connection’s successful it should look like this…

next, click on the PDA button and locate the file you extracted (the German ICS ROM) and then click start...

You’ll see the update’s progress in the message box in Odin and via a progress bar on your device. When Odin signal’s it’s finished disconnect your device and it will finish installing the new files.

Now that your device is on the German ICS ROM you can go to step two, applying the JB update file.

Move the update.zip file you downloaded to the root (upper most) directory of an SD card and insert the SD card in to your device.

Turn the device off. This time, when you restart it, you'll press power and volume up at the same time to boot your device in to recovery mode. On the menu of options you should see "update from external SD card." Select it using the volume switch to move up and down and the power switch as enter. Once you select the option, the device should find the update.zip file and install it. If it can't find it it's probably not at the root level of the SD card.
