[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevessvt:
Just to make sure before taking the plunge, I am not rooted, and dont plan on rooting, and if I do this there will be no ill effects to my 10.1, and if I want to I can just Odin this file:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1847706 back and be stock again, which will then update to the newer LI3, correct?

Please and Thank you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
These are all stock ROMs so no root is required. The only issue seems to be that N8013's show "custom" as the device status vs. "official." I'm guessing that's because, while the ROMs are interchangeable, there must be some unique h/w or s/w code on the N8013 that causes the N8010 ROM to show as non-standard. Once the official N8013 ROM is released and you install it the status of the device should go back to "official." Most of us here haven't changed our CSC and are using a mismatched CSC/PDA file combination. The consequence of that is that we can't receive updates directly via Kies/OTA. Re-installing the official ROM for your CSC (or model) when it (eventually) comes out corrects that and everything will be back to stock as it originally was.

Problems discovered so far with this German JB: In youtube app, even if the screen is locked, the image will rotate.

I have this problem also with my Nexus 7, which has 4.2.1, so i believe is not Samsung's fault.

Nr.2: if i watch one video online on main browser, the screen will turn off after 2 minutes (if it seton 2min etc).

So basically the tablet won't recognize the browser activity. I hadn't this problem before on 4.0.4.

Nr.3: the zoom in browser is ackward, i don't understand the actions, if i scroll down it will zoom, etc.

I did a full factory reset and wiping data/cache before installing the rom with odin, i did't modify the CSC, and i don't want to use another browser, chrome, dolphin etc, i need flash for online videos, and i don't like firefox. It says official on status i don't believe there were any problems with installation

Did you also find these problems with your tablets?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevessvt:
So I did this, and now my binary count is at 1, and current binary and system status say custom. I thought this wasnt suppose to trip the counter? This was on a completely virgin 10.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] RandomAwesomeGuy:
That is the exact same thing that happened on my virgin tablet, too :(. You can always root it and install "Triangle Away" from the play store to reset the binary counter. I haven't tried it yet.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevessvt:
Well, I found this, which AFAIK is the latest official for the US 8013, http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N8013&pcode=XAR&os=1&type=3#firmware and I flashed it, but I dont know why, maybe because coming from a 8010 rom, but my binary counter said 2 now. But after the flash it said Official Samsung again, but still 2. So I flashed the ExynosAbuse APK found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050297 and rooted that way, took all of 2 seconds to root. Then downloaded Triangle Away, reset the binary counter, unrooted through ExynosAbuse, uninstalled ExynosAbuse and Triangle Away, did a factory reset, and everything appears stock again, including Normal under Device Status, Binary Count says No, and Official
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stevessvt:
BTW, how come the 8013 firmware I linked to above isn't stickied any where?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheOneChristo:
Pardon my ignorance but where can I find the official 4.1.2 German ROM?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Dual_Everything:
No what I am saying is that when you factory reset from the recovery menu you will still be on German rom but your status will be "Official"

and not "Custom". At least that's how it worked for me.

What are you talking about? If you would scroll down the page at all its sitting right there. Thats the file I used the upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] loribuono:
Yes, but that's for the N8000. Anyone know if there are any issues using the German 4.1.2 update for the N8000 on N8013?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mixalismi7:
I have a problem in the whole procedure..i was stuck on step 1. I have connected my N8010 and set it on download mode,used odin and I was waiting almost an hour and then i checked again and it was saying that it failed.now I got this message on the tablet : Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

i tried to use kies but i couldnt to anything.I selected emergency firmware recovery but i dont have anything in the list to choose or any code to st.. Any ideas what should i do??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
There are not any problems flashing this 8000 rom to 8013. I have done so and the only thing I had to do is put it in airplane mode. Don't worry, wifi still works. It is definitely worth upgrading to. Let me know if you need help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ToonTonic:
Installed and running great..EXCEPT for the Gallery app. Regular force close and OMG it slows everything down big time. Practically unusable :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheOneChristo:
Awesome! I'm going to give it a try right now. Just download and flash in Odin?

I'll let you know if I run into trouble.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
I flashed in mobile Odin. Not sure if it's required, but I cleared cache before. Good luck!

Need some assistance here.. using n8013 n flashed to german jb rom.. everything is ok except the camera failed to start, keep showing camera failed message, any ideas? Btw, after re-do one step update, still showing custom in device status..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] :
Because you have applied a N8010 rom to a N8013. When you get the N8013 rom installed then it will revert to 'official'.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bosley97:
Um.. for me this caused a boot loop. And then after a while it just loaded into stock Android system recovery after showing the : 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ' initial boot screen. What do i do?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Well, did you root with the exploit method? I know that causes my camera to fail.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Got it. Thanks for clarifying..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jkei85:
You mean the exynos abuse? I did applied when was on ics, then used the anti exynos after that. At that time the camera still working fine.. btw, if due to that issue, how to solve? Anything can be done to clear this problem?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Go into the exynos abuse app, and turn off prevent exploit. You have to choose between protection and camera
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] elitechairmaster:
Worked Great!!!

Followed this thread using the one step ODIN method. First I wiped the cache on my 8013, then proceeded to upgrade. This firmware actually fixed my wireless range issues in ICS. I tested issues, such as german writing in S-Note, Keyboard sound and others and have yet to notice anything wrong. I did the OTA 8010 firmware first, had a few issues, reverted back to stock LI3 until the full 8010 firmware was out. Thanks for your work!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dnanj:
Does this rom support the IR port for smart peel remote app?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
I had previously used the two step method on my non rooted 8010, I have just updated it with the complete update and I can confirm it now says "official"

Also my OTG is now working again.

Thanks.

Im experiancing the same issue. Flashed succesfully (netherlands) everything looks fine except gallery. Its really slow when it works. Else indeed lots of FC.

Annyone knows a solution for this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sy Borg:
Peel remote works for me after one step upgrade for 8010
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jkei85:
Thanks, solved my camera problem...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
If you look at the photos folder(s) in an app like Astro you'll see that the Gallery creates a slew of thumbnails to better index your original photos for display They have a long numeric file name and are very small files. You might want to try deleting them all which will cause the Gallery to re-index them.

You might try change the content displayed to "content in device" only in settings to see if that makes a difference.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] GETCASHMONEY:
Yes. I use it all the time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] elitechairmaster:
Yes it supports the IR app peel. Tested it on my Sony tv and worked perfect.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] steefzz:
Thanks for your reaction. However in first place i cant find those thumb files (i can find them on my phone) with astro and als not with es file explorer (i turned view hidden files on).

But i allready backupped my photos and files en then put my n8010 back to factory defaults. Then move back photos. Initially gallery still was very slow, but when i tried about half an hour later it worked pretty well, still some lag when swyping through my pictures but workable.

Hopefully other people can use your tip if they experiance the same issue ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] redcom7:
Can anyone tell me if this german rom has the option of Greek language?

Or at least English?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Ναι ρε Θρύλε έχει.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] pwatkins:
Absolutely. Where the firmware is issued makes no difference to language choice. I am running "German" 4.1.2 and I have the same 58 languages as any mainstream android firmware, including Greek and a number of English variants.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] rikjonno:
Thanks

I followed the guide and worked brilliantly on my UK N8010. I have one question when the UK 4.1.1 is released (:D) can I just flash that back over the Germany one to get my csc back for ota updates?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JSale:
Yes you should be able to, if for some strange reason you cannot get OTA updates, just reflash your original ics firmware.

Yes, that was my mistake.... I'm not having a good day it seems. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fards:
Ll3 is out for the Taiwan/china/hk 8010s, not tested that one, but ll3 on the n8000 is 4.1.2, so it's not a huge leap of imagination to presume it's the same build.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Beards:
Just about to do the German update and an OTA just popped up.

Now on UK 4.1.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheOneChristo:
You can flash the N8000 on a N8010. I've done so without an issue, just make sure to turn on airplane mode (so your tablet isn't constantly searching for a cell signal) and then you can switch on WIFI.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] triciens:
I flashed the Taiwan LL3 on my UK 8010 and it's 4.1.1
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nrfitchett4:
just installed the german jb 4.1.2 via mobile odin (had to unzip file first) and it seems to have worked perfectly on my 8013 usa note.

Do I need to factory reset in recovery? I did the everroot option and have root and have had no force closes so far.

It seems to have factory reset anyways. Had to re-install everything. Just curious if i need to reset once more before setting up.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JSale:
Just extract the .zip you downloaded and flash using odin.

Remember you need to be in download mode.

P.s kies is only installed for the drivers by must be fully closed before flashing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] iRock48:
The original "step 1" instructions call for installing the the new ICS rom, etc.. this is what has me confused...

What exactly are the steps again? I can't seem to sus out what they are from your original post and what all I need to install (ODIN, Kies, etc)..

Thank You!!!

I downloaded and unziped the 1 GB file to get the KIES_HOME_N8010XXBLK9_N8010OXABLK9_541027_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 file, so I guess now I just have to figure out how to install it..

Do I copy the .md5 file to an SD card then insert the card into my Note, then put it into recovery mode then "update from external SD card."

Or is using ODIN easier? Do I select the md5 file from somewhere using ODIN?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
1) Extract the file you downloaded. You'll be looking for the large file with an MD5 extension.

2) Download and install Kies from here... [ http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ ] That site explains what it is and what it does but for the purposes of installing a ROM via Odin all you need are the drivers that it installs on your PC.

3) Right click on Odin and run it as administrator.

4) Put your device in to download mode by turning it off and, when it's restarting, press volume down and power at the same time. You should see an "are you sure?" message. Answer yes and "Andy" should have a gear in his belly and a "do not disconnect message" should be showing.

5) Connect your device to your PC. The com window in Odin should turn yellow like in the example on the first post.

6) Click the PDA button in Odin like in the first post and find the MD5 file you downloaded.

7) Click start, wait for Odin to finish, and when it does disconnect your device.

When it reboots you should be on JB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] planetf1:
Installed this earlier on my UK 8010.

Initial little "panic" (well not really, things backed up). Wouldn't boot after flash, stayed on logo screen. Then I realised. I'd put the firmware into the "phone" section in Odin not PDA. Silly me. I've done plenty of s2/3 flashing to know this. SILLY ME.

Reflashed properly and all came up ok and data/system seems fine - though not used much

As expected the no sim/signal warning is present, but that's a minor cosmetic change.

Will be interesting to see what performance, especially of the browser, is like.

Never looked/needed to root thus far.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Sy Borg:
Why do you get that error? Surely the 8010 firmware shouldn't warn you for that?

I've flashed the full JB for the UK 8010 and don't get that error, however I am seeing a message in KIES telling me that "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies" and current firmware version PDA:LK9 / PHONE:LK9 / CSC:LL1 (BGL)

(I would have posted a screen shot but I can't grab a screen of KIES regardless of what I try to do).

Time to restart both PC and Note and try again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] gpgalanis:
Does your otg usb work fine?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cpwshf:
I just got my GT-N8013 the other day and decided to try this form the OP. Everything seems to work fine, however has anyone else lost wireless N after doing the upgrade? I can still connect using wireless G, but it also seemed slower as far as downloading after I upgraded.

I went back to stock this morning and I am able to see my wireless N network and use it without any issue. Also download speeds are working great.

Should I now install the official update

I installed the German version from this thread on Saturday 29th December, and since they have rolled out the UK version, should I now install this update.

My Tablet is running fine on the revised German JB Update, but when I go into kies is states

"current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies"

Current frimware version: PDA:LK9 / PHONE:LK9 / CSC:LK9 (BTU) - as shown on the Kies firmware information page

What should I do please, as I thought from what I read on this thread, I would show as supported by Kies and ota for updates - which it does not, the software button in settings seaches for the update but states "the latest updates have already been installed."

It does show as "official"

If left as it is what happens when the next updates are due?

Thanks

Graham

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hygradeb:
If you are in the uk you dont need to do this.

The JB is now in the UK goto update on your 10.1 note and it will download

If you still have problems use kers.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
You have some choices. Which one you pick depends on how you feel about future updates in general.

1) You won't receive updates automatically from Samsung if your CSC (Region) and PDA files don't match. Loading the UK PDA file to match your UK CSC resolves that and you'll receive OTA and/or Kies updates as their dispatched. There's a lot of update activity now because of the move from ICS to JB. Once that's done it'll most likely be months between updates for any one region. So you'll have the abilitiy to receive updates but they'll be few and far between. Samsung doesn't ever issue a single "global" update in an attempt to get all their devices on a single ROM. So newer ROMs are created that update features and some of the included Samsung apps (EG: S Note) but there's no guarantee the UK will receive it or, if they do, it could be months after it was first launched in another region.

2) There are no side effects of using a different CSC/PDA combination and leaving your device that way permanently. The exception being if the device needs service you should re-load the correct CSC/PDA combination before sending it in. If the device dies and you can't there probably wouldn't be a warranty issue because it still shows "official" which is all Samsung cares about. They are also pretty liberal and don't try to blame the user for a h/w problem clearly not s/w related (EG: display dies). Here’s what I tend to do. With umpteen regions, Samsung’s usually issuing an update somewhere as due course. That update could have newer versions of Samsung and Google’s apps which could add features or correct previous issues. Sometimes new functionality is also thrown in. Provided it’s a Western regions (EG: EU, LatAm) I’ll update to it. I don’t do Eastern Europe and Asia. Right now, my Brazilian Note II and 10.1 are running French and German versions of 4.1.2 ROMs. If a new Western 4.1.2 ROM with a later build number’s released I’ll update them to it. If /when a Brazilian 4.1.2 update’s released I’ll update them to that but only until an even newer ROM’s released somewhere else. In other words, I put running newer build ROMs ahead of being able to get updates directly from Samsung. Especially because their update schedule by region is so scatter shot.

Hope that helps...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] chart8006:
Barry, thanks for all your work. Could you comment on whether you are using a stock 4.1.2 or one of the custom roms that others have so generously shared in the Development section. Thanks Again.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I travel a lot internationally and roam on tons of different carrier networks. I've never used a custom ROM that didn't have issues allowing me to register on one or more networks. When processors were weak, RAM skimpy, and overlays bloated I used to install custom ROMs anyway because the trade-off in performance made it worthwhile. Both my Note 10.1 and Note II run well on 4.1.2 stock so that's what I'm running and most likely will be for the foreseeable future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aletheus:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Andy847:
Never got "officail" status and binary count changed

Hi, thanks for the great instructions, this was my first time doing something like this to one of my devices. The 8010 4.1.1 German Update works Great on my GT-N8013, no problems so far. The Other night I did first the Two-Step method, then later going back saw the One-step method and Flashed the full German ROM. Both Ways had no problems. Only thing is, I never got the "Official" Status, plus last time when I flashed the One-step method, I saw my binary counter was set at 2. After reading most of the thread, I realize that the status Is "Custom", because I didn't change the CSC code and it doesn't match the PDA. Also, Tried to Wipe my device through system Recovery, but still showing "Custom" and nothing else changed.

So When the U.S. gets the Official Jelly Bean update, will the "Official" Status be brought back to my device and will the Binary Counter go back to what it's supposed to? I'm new to this, so have no Idea what the Binary Counter is supposed to be set at. I know I will have to flash back to U.S. ICS ROM first, before trying to get the U.S. Jelly Bean Update.

Also, Is there a way using this method to get the German 4.1.2 update? I really don't want to Root my device. Just glad had no problems using your instuctions. Thanks, for all the hard work you Devs do!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
It's been confirmed that the U.S. N8013 is shipping with JB. XDA member vskakkad provided a system dump last night. What needs to happen next is the dump has to be converted in to a TAR file in order to use Odin to install it. One of the four files vskakkad posted is borked so he'll have to re-upload it for the TAR file to be created. Once the TAR file's created I'll link it here along with instruction for how N8013 users can use Odin to install it. I know some N8013 users that followed the original instructions here are now showing "custom" for their device status and/or have had their flash counters tripped. I'll also post instruction on how to reset both. In the meantime N8010 can still follow the instructions here as provided and I'd suggest N8013 users hold off and wait for the TAR file specific to the N8013 to be created.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] demandarin:
good work Barry. very useful guide. excited now to see jb for 8013 is now becoming a reality. as far as the u.s. version is concerned.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
And just think about how great it will be that all the conspiracy theories as to why the U.S. wasn't getting JB will now die. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] aletheus:
But not because samsung has done anything to put them down... only because the community was able to benefit from their botched rollout.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
The roll-out isn't botched. Some people are pissed off becuase due to the order the update is being released some got it earlier than they did. It took Samsung two months to fully update the original G-Tab 10.1 to ICS once they started. It's only been four weeks since the first N8000 ROM was released and even less than that for the Wi-Fi version.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Noxey:
Does this method work on the 4.1.2 German release for the 8013?

Is there any special considerations needed for the 4.1.2 to work?
