There is no official 4.1.2 ROM for any of the Wi-Fi models yet. You can load the N8000 4.1.2 ROM on a Wi-Fi Note but you'll have issues since the s/w's searching for h/w that doesn't exist. There's a thread going discussing it. If you're on a N8013 you're better off waiting for the TAR file to be posted and use the official U.S. 4.1.1 JB ROM. Using the N8000/10 ROM on a N8013 appears to trip the s/w counter and the device shows as "custom" rather than "official" which can screw up DRM. The differences between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 aren't that great. The keyboard uses SwiftKey predictive logic and there are some minor feature and cosmetic differences. The one big difference that some folks pointed out is that the method for enabling all apps to be multiview capable takes less steps on 4.1.2.

That's what I'm looking to have. =s That's too bad. Maybe i'll just do it manually for my apps and not update them.

I corrected dump links on my post and we redumped more files and added new links.

Darkman_RS says this will not be odin flashable since cwm was flashed over the original recovery. Although stock recovery was restored by using cf-autoroot prior to dump. I am not a dev, just letting you know what we did.

There is a rom in upload status - for CWM / TWRP flashing - links will be posted
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Rootuser3.0:
I'm running 4.1.2 no issues at all no FC nice and smooth so I guess it depends on how you flash it. I was on stock ICS N8013 and flashed the Tar file with PC Odin nice and smooth
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Noxey:
Noob question here, but when you flash with Odin, does it require a clean wipe, or can I keep all of my data from before the whipe.

Also, will it trip my flash counter? Does triangle away work on the note 10.1?

Sorry for the collection of noob questions. I'd search myself but I'm lying on the couch feeling like I'm about to die. =p

Pitty me! Aha
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
No.

On the N8010, no. On the N8013, based on reports from people who've done it, yes.

Yes.

I'm not sure if you mean what I think you mean.

If you load a ROM with a different CSC or PDA, from the original, then you want to change back to the Original CSC/PDA, you can always load the ROM that's from the Original CSC or PDA.

This should revert you back to the Original CSC and PDA

Correct?

Also, is it possible to change the CSC directly in the ROM File, before loading it with Odin?

So I want to change the German CSC to Canadian CSC before loading with Odin, that way the CSC and PDA match.

As described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1913034

Is this possible?

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

I opened cache.ext4 in DiskInternals, and found the CSC folders.

However, none of them was Canadian.

Would it be possible to copy my existing CSC folder from my 4.0.4 Note 10.1 and replace and repackage the German 4.1.2 ROM with the Canadian CSC?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mikemod:
After doing this I have now flashed the UK JB release hoping to match the CSC again but the CSC in KIES is now BGL

It looks like you cant go back to your own region after flashing the German JB on a UK device..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] smrsxn:
I sure wish there was an odin way to get completely stock, unrooted 4.1.1 on 8013. I don't want to mess with CWM, as i have no clue what it is.

Hopefully this backup will be useful for hard-core dev community to get jb on 8013. But hey that type of users would already have had jb on their tablets... ironic.

For noobs like me... back to waiting for samsung ota.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
Just decided to check my flash counter (I think that's what I've checked - if you go into Odin mode, there's a Binary Upload count - I assume that's the flash count) and it's showing 2 and everything else is showing 'custom'.

I've only ever flashed the German 8010 .. oh wait - I did it with the two step process (German 4.0.4/German 4.1.1)... That would account for the 2. Not that worried - everyone seems pretty confident these can be reset so I'll wait for the proper 8013 ROM to become available before fiddling. I think the actual rule is: if you update the ROM with a ROM for any country using the same model (ie: Any 8010 can take any 8010 ROM) then the flash counter doesn't change. But if you do this on a different model (any 8010 ROM on an 8013), it'll trip the flash counter.

One weird thing - it's reporting my CSC as 'KOR' which I assume is Korea... but this is an 8013, which afaik is only available in the US. Is this normal? I've never changed my CSC.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 AM ----------

Technically, they won't. In fact, it'll get worse. The issue is that the 8000s and the 8010s for countries OTHER than Canada have been getting updates while North America seems to be completely missed. The fact that they're shipping 8013s with 4.1.1 says that the update is available and could be shipped now.. so the question becomes: why hasn't it?

Now there are lots of possible answers that are simple: like, it's in the queue, but way more 8000s and 8010s are out there than 8010s (Canada) and 8013s, so they're going first, the fact that it's shipping now on the 8013s is going to make a lot of people worry that Samsung has decided to abandon them. It doesn't help that Samsung first said 'by the end of the year' (which has passed) and then for some reason updated it to 'soon' which implied more like November or December at the latest. It also doesn't help that the Nexus line got updated fairly straight forward across all systems, Asus updated their Transformer line and so on.

In the end, the griping will end when we see 4.1.1 (and then 4.1.2) show up on OTA (and those of us who upgraded via your Odin update trick are back to a normal state). That's not meant as a criticism of your excellent work, btw - you've done an exceptional job documenting and keeping this up to date.

I'm just saying that people will be people. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] RonJohnson4164:
Me too. Too new, too nervous to try it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dtl:
Its is not that bad actually. I am coming from the HP Touch Pad which I flashed like crazy after rooting and changing system from WEBOS to Android. However the difference is 1) the TP will not be getting any official HP OTA upgrades to worry about and 2) a 100$ unit verses a 500$ unit. If this could be done without the rooting and associated issues I might have considered diving in now. So I know I can do this (rooting) but am going to wait for awhile to see if Samsung sends the US updates.

It is curious to me why Samsung is sooo silent. I hang in many techie forums (cameras, phone, pads) and there are always "leaks." none here however.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] klau1:
Damn, this is going to throw a wrench into my Germany ROM flashing plan.

Now that you confirm it's impossible to revert back to original CSC even with the native region ROM, I don't think it's worth the risk of losing the CSC forever.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] thedegg:
my n8010 uk, i update first german 8010 rom 4.1.1 single method, not double method with ics first. everything run fine and kies not let me update as said modified but csc still says btu

just put uk n8010 4.1.1 over the top via odin , everthing fine kies says i have latest version now. all good back to normal btu still.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
i'd figured that would work. i've never used kies and don't have it intalled on any computer.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
My guess? Being a monolithic company it takes a great deal of time and coordination to update infrastructure to support a new release. In updates I've launched getting the online materials revised, training the contact center agents, and orchestrating timing and staffing around the roll-out has been a *****. So either the products folks jumped the gun by deploying new units with JB before the operations folks were ready to support it or it was done as a calculated risk (people receiving products Samsung's not ready to fully support) with the support scheduled to be in position soon. Either way I'd assume it's positive and that the update should be pushed soon.

I've posted this before so forgive me if it's a repeat. Samsung's update process is asinine. Every other OEM goes out of their way to have as few s/w versions as possible for a single device and, where they do, it's for specific regional requirements. Once a major update has been pushed all devices should be running the same(ish) s/w. For a single device Samsung can easily have two dozen versions of s/w all deemed "current." There are 4.0.4 updates with later build dates than some of the 4.1 ROMs Samsung's released. There are some Note's (based on region) where the latest s/w is 4.0.4 with a July build date. Other regions are on 4.1.2 and have had six different versions of s/w released. All for a single product with a single launch date. In Samsung's twisted world that's fine.

I'm not defending Samsung's practices because I think they are stupid, needless, laborious, and frustrating. But it's always been this way and I've yet to figure out any rhyme or reason as to why they make the choices they do. Historically, even though it's a large market, the U.S. always seems to lag behind other regions. It's worse with Samsung tablets than it is with phones. So if their reason for delaying the U.S. Note update is nefarious it's at least consistent. ;)

So I installed JB the first way and had mentioned here having problems with AllShare Cast Dongle. So I checked my flash count and it showed Custom and a flash count of 2. Per these instructions I installed the complete JB PDA and instead of getting a flash count to 0 now I have a flash count of 4. Here is exactly what my tablet says when I'm in download mode.

To clarify, I'm still using the German 4.1.2 rom for the 8000 on my 8010 which adds a few nice changes and is working well for me.

I am no expert but was playing with this. I never new the Note 10.1 had a counter so I was putting different roms on and the count was at 6 with custom.

You have to boot into recovery to see this information. Turn off your tablet, hold the power on and volume up at the same time until the Galaxy Note logo shows up.

Flashed UK firmware

Hi.New to forum

Using the N8013 in the UK and downloaded the ICS UK firmware from Samfirmware

Used Odin to install the firmware - binary count = 2

Connected with Kies and updated to JB - binary count = 4

Used Samsung Galaxy CSC to change country code to BHT (UK) - binary count = 6

JB firmware worked without any issue, but just because, decided to re-install ICS using Odin

Binary count changed to 8

Finding that count kept increasing, and didn't reset when ICS installed, decided to revert back to JB

Tablet didn't restart so re-installed JB again

Found I had to reset tablet (power on and volume up) to complete installation - doh!

I've just checked the binary count by holding power button and volume down

Odin mode

Product name: GT-N8013

Custom binary download: Yes (12 count)

Current binary: Custom

System status: Custom

Was going to root, use triangle away, unroot to remove custom marking, but will now wait for N8013 JB firmware release and put back to standard

Not sure why binary increased by 2 with each mod but any advice welcome!!

Need some help. I was on the German 8010 4.1.1 JB update, and tried to flash back to the U.S. 8013 4.0.4 ICS ROM Twice using Odin and it said Pass, Now I keep getting stuck at the Samsung Logo when the Tablet reboots. I don't know how to fix this. Should I just try to Root instead to get back to stock? I don't know what else to do. Since today the U.S. Jelly Bean is out, I'm hoping to get that. I hope there is a fix to this.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
As I said in your other post, no one has said they've succesfully used the MD5 file that Q9Nap has uploaded. For people on a N8013 using a non-US ROM your best bet is to re-load the U.S. ICS ROM via Odin and then use Kies to get the U.S. JB update installed. Once a complete U.S. JB MD5 files that's been proven to work is avialable I'll update the instructions in the N8013 "flash counter/non-official" thread on how to use it get whole again.

P.S. - If anyone's successfuly used the MD5 file Q9Nap posted via Odin to update a N8013 from a "non-official" N8010 ROM please chime in.

This thread was originally for U.S. users to apply the German JB update. That's no longer necessary. I updated to first post so it's now just instructions on how to use Odin to replace an existing U.S. ROM with a complete version of the new JB ROM in case anyone's having issues with OTA or Kies.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ExploreMN:
So if I am rooted but used Triagle Away to reset my counter to 0 and my status to official, will I get the auto-update?

If not, and I go the Odin route for 4.1.2 does it apply it as an update, or does it nuke the whole system requiring me to reinstall all my apps and lose all my configs, setup, etc?

If I need only be "unrooted" is there an easy way to do it or at least make the system thing it was never rooted? Can I use OTA Root Keeper to get it back after an update?

I have the Jelly Bean 8013 German 4.1.1 rom By: smaw51 on my UK n8010 but want to go back to using the Samsung UK officials stock jellybean rom firmware release so my question is do I have to go back to official ICS (ice cream sandwich) using PC Odin [Method 2 - ClockworkMod Recovery] By: OP, before using kies to download the official firmware OR is there a official UK jellybean 4.1.1 ROM, by a kind XDA developer, I can flash using Odin to save me having to go back to ICS first?

I'm currently downloading both stock official ICS 4.0.4 and JB 4.1.1 firmware from Sam mobile.com which I'm hoping I can use PC Odin method in the first post here to reflash JB 4.1.1 firmware and keep all my data, keep my unit rooted and use triangle away again, or am I being too optimistic?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Typically, using another region's ROM on your device has no ill effects provided the model numbers are the same (EG: N8010). While the N8010 and N8013 are physically identical the differing model numbers caused the device status to change to "custom" (vs. official) and advance the flash counter for U.S. Note owners that used N8000/10 ROMs. Following the instructions will get your U.S. Note back to "official" status as others have reported. It doesn't reset the flash counter. If you send it in for warranty service Samsung will know non-standard s/w has been run on the device. There's a good chance that won't affect your warranty as Samsung's pretty liberal and doesn't typically look to blame s/w for h/w defects. You can root it an unroot it following the instructions to reset the flash counter but it appears most people are just living with it. Hope that helps.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] vypor87:
Follow the instructions and you should be good. Don't bother with going back to ICS first. Use CF Auto Root and Triangle Away to clear the counter. You'll still have a custom status probably from root but the counter will be cleared and it will say stock rom. Pretty sure either factory reset or one more stock image flash would clear up the rest.
