It actually does complete, it just doesnt give you a success! Statement. At least in mine, it didnt. I could move aroumd and back out into the stock recovery and rebooted, and voila! 4.1.1 at last. I did notice different font and slightly different icons...did they change dpi? Im going to have to watch those videos that king ramo did now that shows me all the different features. Thanks Barry and all those that made this possible. Now its time to download some new multi window apks. Does netflix and crackle work multi window?

Ps there is a considerable amount of time with the update from applying update.zip. there should be approximately 15 lines of "updating ...applying" etc. End result of update will still show a filled blue bar. Oh, and before and after update.zip (and right as you reboot) Andy the android will lie flat with a red exclamation point. I think this happens in non 8010 devices though. Correct me if im wrong
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] andreazd:
I followed the instructions, and all went ok....thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
The reason it didn't work the first time is because I downloaded the wrong German ics rom. If you download the lg3 one it will fail. I would add that because if you aren't looking closely they look the exact same.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kabar03:
yes, I did try to boot into JB after 15 min twice, figuring there was no success message. I was greeted with boot loop both times. Wiped Cache and tried also, no go. My only success was my above method after putting the fresh German Rom on again and continuing with CSC to DBT method. So it seems this method is hit or miss from other posts I've read. My Titanium BU was fresh, so I was not worried about wiping the device with this method, regaining root is a 5 min. affair also. JB is running very nice and

OTG USB works like a champ.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
Maybe the csc changer step is required only for 8013 or non EU devices (i have COA). I had no trouble at all, but I have to say that before installing the update from sd card I did wipe data and cache from stock recovery. I did that becouse I wanted not becouse was a necessary step (at least I don't think it is)

The sick android with the triangle is nothing to worry about, we all have that :)

I have an N8000 so I'm going by what people with N8010/3's have said and experienced in the past. Here's a thread that talks about flashing N8010 ROM's to the U.S. N8013. Just like the Turkish N8005 is the same as the N8000 h/w wise (s/w wise, the dialer is disabled) the N8013 appears to be an N8010 with s/w modified because of U.S.-specific patent issues. N8013 folks haven't had problems in the past with N8010 ROMs.

The last message displayed is "Patching remaining system files". There is no completed message

Once it gets there you just use the volume keys to get back up the menu to reboot

Worked first time for me on a UK 8010, thanks.

I have a question, does the GERMAN JB have CHINESE language?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] id10terrordfw:
After a little bit of my namesake, this works amazingly. So quick I think it reads my mind!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
I was wondering about this as well. Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Its not. I tried. It only looks for external SD updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cmccracken:
I have a US N8013 with the stock ROM, and this method seems to have worked flawlessly. I followed the instructions exactly as given in the first post, and the whole process took about 15 minutes.

The only problem I've seen so far is that Google Now tells me there is an update available for Google Now, but the Play Store tells me that Google Search (Now) isn't available for my device.

Oh, and Ingress still doesn't work since I don't have an invite code (anyone care to help me fix that?). :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Don't feel bad about the Google Now/Search update; I just uninstalled it. It borks voice recognition both in Google's apps and Samsung's. I couldn't get either my N2 or Note 10.1 to unlock using custom voice commands and it was driving me crazy. Someone in the VZW N2 forum was having issues with voice recognition when not on Wi-Fi. Unistalling the Google update made both problems go away. Feel better? ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
two questions: Can we go back to stock 8013 for future official updates if we'd like?

and

Do you have a link to the specific German JB thread you mention in the OP or have the exact name of it to find it easily?

P.S. I'm rooted with the smaw's Something JB rom. Should I follow these instructions or is there an easier method for people who are rooted already?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Yes. And you should. Look at the German ROM as a "loaner." Using a device with a mismatched CSC/ROM combination prevents you from getting updates via OTA/Kies. Also, if you ever need repair/warranty work the correct CSC/ROM for your region has to be reinstalled anyway. I'm going to update my Note when Brazil receives JB in 2014. ;)

There are a bunch of options for people that are rooted in the German thread. The good stuff's toward the end. Here it is...

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Hmmm.. did the update and it seems to have worked perfectly... just one odd thing.

When it finally booted up, it startedplaying the "Over the Horizon" theme and there's a message about a change to the updater's policy.. and if you click accept, you get another message saying that your system has been modified and that you can't get updates.

I suppose this makes sense - when the 8013 update comes out, I assume I can reflash back to that and get back in synch. Mind you, there haven't been a ton of updates for the Note...

Finally, after many many attempts I have managed to download the dbt update and it has flashed successfully , so thank you to the uploaders:)

Only problem I have is I have lost root. I am sure I read a way of rooting without a pc but can't find it now, does anyone have an idea how to do this please?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
I'm looking in that thread you posted but the only thing I see is posts about your method for non root.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
If routed on ics and have cwm, just flash the 8010 rom, you'll find it in the development area.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mo1991:
works

thanks to the people that did this how to. everything works fine very first try. Using an 8013. Jb much faster. the only part I did not understand of the instructions was clearing the cache for the Samsung keyboard I did not find an option for this.if someone can please explain where I can find this option it would be great. Thanks again

Working great at the moment, thanks again

If I wanted to return to UK ICS what is the easiest method?

Can it be done without rooting?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Itchiee:
I'm thinking its referring to Settings>Application Manger>All>Samsung Keyboard>Clear Data and/or Cache

(You can use this method for apps when they act unruly at times to restart them, or clear them out)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] :
I am on a stock 8013. I am having a problem downloading the stock N8010XXAL13 ICS File from hotfile. Would I be able to use a deodexed version I found at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1925720 that includes root and then still do the JB 4.1.1 update over top of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
It was noted that when you do this, you'll get a card on Google Now saying that there's an update - but if you click it, it takes you to Play where you're told the update isn't compatible with your device.

Just go to your installed app list in Play and you'll see Google Search listed as having an update. Do the update THERE and it'll work - the card will be gone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheOneChristo:
From recovery mode, I get "E:signature verification failed"

Using a US 8013 and was able to flash to JB without any issues for the process.

For those who want to know about using the AllShare Cast Dongle (to connect to HDMI) - my experience is that it DOES NOT work when using the Non-US ROM. Tablet would connect, display on TV would say connecting and then tab would disconnect. Previously had no issues using the dongle. Sadly will go back to US ICS version and hope JB comes soon!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MentalWarp:
I just followed the steps and ran this successfully. I'm stoked to have JB on my Note! Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Look for posts from graffixnyc. He's got links to pre-rooted and deodexed versions of the files. Check his posts in the dev section also.

Some folks reported issues going back. Personally, I can't imagine why anyone would want to because of the added features and performance boost. When a complete BTU JB ROM is posted just update to it via Odin. That'll put you back to "stock."

Wow, that's odd. I'm using a mismatched CSC/ROM on both my N2 and Note 10.1 and don't have any issues with the dongle. Samsung released an update on November 30. Try installing that before going back to ICS.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thas5:
Kind of hesitant to do this. The actually guide seems very straight forward(huge thanks to the OP for that), but going back to my region's ROM will probably be the problem. I've heard virtually nothing about a XAC ROM. Not even entirely sure if that's specific to Canada or not. Sammobile has no info on Canada's version of this tablet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] optimus43:
Im in the same boat with no firmware on Sam mobile how will the Canadians go back to stock in the future?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] lm that guy:
Worked for 8013. Now that I'm on stock 8010 I can't seem to get cwm recovery to stick while flashing via Odin. Any ideas?

Edit: never mind figured it out. Make sure that when flashing in desktop Odin auto reboot is unchecked. Flash recovery and once that's done hold volume up+power and boot into cwm. It will stick then :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
Which one? The custom one?

Edit: Never mind.

So is there only problems going back to ics or will there be problems going to official jb after doing this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] S.Phrenic:
Just wanted to thank you....

Thx, worked like a charm.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wagman67:
Worked like a charm...8013!

So far, no issues.

So, I guess we will get our 'official' update anytime, now that I have updated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's an explanation of what we're doing by changing out different s/w versions between regions. Samsung modularizes their s/w and there are four components as shown below. The h/w for a specific device (EG: 8010/3 and 8000/5) are all the same. So any of the four s/w components (regardless of version or region) are compatible. All we're doing by using ROMs meant for different regions is changing the user-facing s/w (PDA); not any of the underlying components like the sales region or radios. So our devices are still "official." You can stay this way forever without any repercussions. The only negative is that you won't receive updates either via Kies or OTA because the region (CSC) is a mismatch for the ROM (PDA). You also should return the PDA file to the region it shipped with when sending your device in for service or repair.

Here's what I typically do. Since it's not like Samsung pushes out updates weekly, not getting updates via Kies/OTA doesn't bother me. Either someone here or Samfirmware will upload the update(s) if I ever want them. My N2 shipped with a 4.1.1 ROM with a build number of 261101 and a packaging date of October 12. To get the latest updates to all the s/w packages contained in the ROM I immediately replaced it with a non-carrier ROM with a build number of 333280 and a packaging date of October 15 from another region. They just released 4.1.2 in Poland but it's a carrier ROM with a ton of bloatware. As soon as a 4.1.2 version is released for another non-carrier Western (not Asian; their h/w is different) region I'll move to that. Eventually I'll replace it with the 4.1.2 version for the region my device shipped with. Unless there's a newer version for another region.

For the Note, I'll do the same thing. If a newer non-carrier (I have a N8000) JB version with a later build number and packaging date comes out I'll move to that. If in between a version of the current JB ROM comes out for my region I'll move to that.

Some regions have different features enabled/disabled so that's something to consider when picking a ROM to use. There's no effect on usability by using a ROM from a different region than what your device shipped with.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
How come there is always an update notification every time I put a new rom on here? I just did all these steps and I'm on the 8010 jb stock but it shows that there is an update at the bottom in the status bar.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] optimus43:
Thanks for the summary that explains it well. My only hesitance is that there is no posted firmware for my region (8010 Canada) I first day it odd that there is not even an ics firmware for Canada posted. Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Skizzy034:
What 8010 stuff in the build prop needs to be changed to 8013. I'm using rom toolbox pro but I don't wanna change the wrong thing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] henreeg:
Let's say the N8010 gets the 4.1.2 update... does anyone know how we N8013 users update? ODIN or an update.zip [if someone is kind enough to create it for us noobs].
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Moricon:
Thank you for this information. I will admit I did not complete yet. Was about to flash the update zip and chickened out. Going to wait a little longer for Samsung in the US. Regardless all steps worked perfectly.

N8000 3G - Hongkong based device

Good day,

I'm from the Philippines but I believe my N8000 unit came from Hongkong basing from the info on the device's settings. will this work on my device? or should I follow a different guide with the correct firmware for my region? Thanks in advanced!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tsnstuff:
Thank You for this. Got tired of waiting so I went ahead and followed the instructions. My Note 10.1 is like a new device now with JB. The only problem I had during installation was my own fault, I didn't close Kies so it apparently was keeping some connection open. Once I closed it everything worked fine.

I didn't lose any information and again the device feels like a brand new tablet. Love it so far.

Hitting a brick wall!

Galaxy note 10.1 GT-N8010 WiFi

Current firmware : PDA:L14/PHONE:L14/CSC:L12(BGL)

........so, followed instructions precisely (I think!) - 'update.zip' found ok and begins installation, halts at 'E:error in/tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)

re-downloaded the JB update file and cleared cache (I assume this instruction refers to 'wipe cache partition' item in the system recovery.) All to no avail.

Tablet still seems to be running ICS fine but will not allow updating on Kies.

If all else fails is it possible to get back to the original UK firmware - if so, how?

So any help / guidance would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
I think you did the same thing as me. You downloaded the wrong German rom. Don't download the one at the bottom of the list, download the one in the middle that is li3.

Going back and reflashing the correct one fixed sector 7 for me. Hopefully that helps.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] methaq:
Does the German ROM include Arabic support?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] troakie:
Think you might be onto something! Looks like I may have downloaded the one above it 'Hungarian'!

Currently downloading the (hopefully) correct one - fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jeggen:
I do have the update. I winder if my single is a different firmware. Did you let your note update the firmware of your single after the update?

Just had a baby... so will wait and test again when we are back at home!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
I seem to be having an issue as well. First let me thank Barry and gang for this thread - especially for those of us who don't want to wipe our device (although now it looks like i will have to).

I followed the instructions just fine. I'm not a flashaholic but I do love Odin. I know how to work my way around in stock - no issues. i even cleared my cache before doing the update.zip.

My big issue seems to be web browsing. Before, web browser was a speed demon. Now, half the time it won't even load the web pages - as in it will start to load, then clunk out and stop halfway through. i'll have to go to my multi-task window and swipe it away, and start it up again.

I've cleared the Samsung keyboard, that didn't help. i even cleared my cache on the web browser which i swore i wouldn't do because i saved too many links to this device - only to lose them and the problem is not solved.

When i press enter within this editing window, from an Apple bluetooth keyboard, the on screen keyboard pops up. in addition, previously while using the Apple BT keyboard, it would capitalize the first letter of every sentence for me. It does not now (not a huge issue).

Further more, i am having double applications show up in the application manager. 2 dropboxes, 2 S notes, etc. i wish it was 2 internets then i might try uninstalling one and see if that corrects the issue. sometimes the stock browser will also FC for no reason (say reading an xda thread).

Any ideas before i try wiping? should i try to odin back to LI3 of the 8013 blend? i love the new features, but it's not killer yet for me - i really depend on the stability of this tablet and it's not stable right now. i should also mention the youtube app will rotate full screen all 4 sides even if the button for screen rotation is not pressed.

If anyone could suggest steps AFTER FLASHING i might have missed - say disable some apps or clear cache *or data* of some apps that would really help me. i've tried using both US and UK English keyboards as sometimes typing just freezes....and stops for 10-15 seconds. any suggestions would be appreciated
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Wierd. Browsing improved in JB for me. Are you sure it's not an app conflict of some kind? If you have some older less popular apps loaded that may not have been JB-optimized you might want to do some digging to check compatibility. The browser, keyboard, and clipboard are kind of intertwined. You might want to clear cache/data on the keyboard and empty the clipboard. Also make sure a language is set for the handwriting-specific keyboard.

Both my N2 and 10.1 have that too. If you look at the icons they are different for each of the duplicates. Just Samsung being Samsung. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
My tab has developed the browser fc issue as well. Downloaded Chrome, but I prefer the stock browser, cleared everything but it still does it. It is another in a growing list of annoyances that is putting a damper on owning Samsung products. Don't get me started on the exploit :o

To the guys having issues flashing the JB rom, hav e you got an SD card in? My install went a bit odd on me so I whipped the sd card out and it loaded. Maybe try it without an SD card.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] panoz:
You sir have my thanks for an excellent guide! Got no problems whatsoever so far and I have to add that contrary to other cases after finishing the update.zip flashing I got back at the recovery menu and could choose to reboot.

One question though, what's the best method to root this rom?

Using it on an uk n8010 btw..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Some people in another thread are having issues with S-Note. The version in the German update is newer/different than the one in the N8000 JB ROM. It seems odd with the first wave of JB updates being succesful that Samsung would change the s/w and app versions in later ones and make it worse. I'm assuming there will be a complete MD5 file for the N8010 posted soon; maybe for additional regions. When it comes out people that flashed the German ROM followed by the update should replace the entire MD5 file with a complete JB ROM.

Has anyone with issues tried a hard reset? If so, did it help?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dual_Everything:
First of all thanks for all of the information posted here it has been very helpful.

The files installed and updated with no issues on my new unmodified 8013.

I am having the same issue where the allshare cast donge will not connect. Also I can't install Bn Nook app from the play store.

The only cause I can find for this is that device status in settings shows as "custom". Which is strange because I thought the only values used there were

modified and normal.

I don't know if triangle away would help here or not. The 8013 is not listed in supported devices and also I think root is required.

Is anyone else getting that custom setting in their status? For those that have said the allshare cast dongle doesn't work for them what is your

device status in setup?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
My status shows custom. Allshare cast works fine. Im on the german jb rom N8010UK.

Try triangle away it might help, use the exynons exploit by chainfire to get root, do triangle away then unroot. Also, try booting into recovery, and clear cache. Then in app settings clear ALL the data and cache for allshare app.
