The Link for the Samsung Note 10.1 (N8000) Firmware is down.....

Anyone can help to fix it?Thanks
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
I'm sorry :( but you can try to Google it or download from Sammobile if possible. Make sure to watch out on what country version u are downloading for your own country.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] nilknarf:
Just to say a big thank you to TenchuXDA for this thread!

I was worried that rolling back to JB would be a faff due to changes in the bootloader, but thanks to this post I was able to go back to 4.1.2 on my UK N8010 quickly and easily with Mobile Odin, which I'd never used before today. The only slow part was downloading the firmware from Rapidgator at 50kb/s! Once it was on a micro SD card however, less than five minutes later I had a fast tablet with buttons in useful places again! Newer isn't always better.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
Thanks for the feedback, your feedback to me (and also everyone, I believed) is appreciated :D. Also, sorry for the inconvenience of the "Rapidgator Issue". But I've find everywhere for the firmware (besides Sammobile), this is the only portal I can find :(.

If you think I had helped you, you can reply your kindness to me by clicking the THANKS button. (Also appreciated)

why must downgrade?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
Hi, thanks for viewing my post anyways, but please don't misunderstand me. This post is only for those who regret upgrading their device to Android 4.4.2 (as stated in the first page), an option to downgrade back to 4.1.2. If you don't have any issue or you're happy with your upgrade to android 4.4.2 KitKat, you may ignore this post. :)

PROBLEM charge battery after downgrade 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 GT-N8000

hi guys,

i'm italian, i have a problem after downgrade to 4.4.2 KitKat to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean firmware with the charging battery when i turn off.

(in my opinion the 4.4.2 Kit Kat is very bad interface for the galaxy note GT-N8000) :(

Charge when turn off with 4.4.2 Kit Kat ( it's OK, good)

Charge when turn off with 4.1.2 Jelly Bean After the downgrade (NOT OK, Bad)

the display stays on forever

My Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N8000 10.1 has more than two years is out of warranty. (sorry for my bad english)

Please can you help me for this??? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
I, myself had this charging issue too, but I didn't complain much because when the device is turned on, it can still charge it.

I hope you can understand that some of the good things, must be sacrificed with another thing. I'm very sorry about this but I can't do anything either, I'm also waiting for someone to give this a better solution.

Hope you can understand about it :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] williamvivian:
Regarding Battery error, it is not that the battery does not charge. It charges, but only the icon doesn't show that it is charging. Just charged my note (downgraded to 4.1.2 using a different 'without root' method) switched off, and when I switched it on, the battery level shows that it has increased (even though during charging the icon was stuck).

Charging is a function of hardware (i.e., circuits and battery), and software (OS, bootloader, etc.) cannot 'stop' a battery from charging, when current is applied.

In short, this is a very minor GUI issue and should not hold you back from going ahead with the downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sten_amund:
williamvivian: which method did you use to downgrade; official stock with sboot removed and flash via Odin (the "regular" way)? Which tablet; 8000 or 8010? Which FW version did you have before; official stock or leaked 8000? Any culprits or did it work flawlessly?

Thanks - I'm considering doing the downgrade. Mine is N8010 - all official (has always been).

Rgds,

sten_amund
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] no_cannabis:
There is software involved too. I'm not sure how it's done on Notes, but should be something similar. I once experimented with a Chinese tablet, and they kept battery charge level value in a separate NAND partition. Sometimes when that partition got corrupted, the tablet behaved similarly to what the guys described above.

When you charge your device, the device boots into a some kind of tiny kernel, and this is how it can display charging animation.

I think something similar may be happening here, Samsung might have changed the partition structure in KK.

I hate this update, and I really want to get back to JB, but can hardly find any time to read this thread.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] williamvivian:
Not sure I know enough to answer all those queries, but let me try:

1. I used the method in the sammobile site, under the heading "Downgrade KitKat 4.4.2 to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (WITHOUT root)". It involves downloading the relevant firmware and flashing over ODIN.

2. tablet was N8000

3. Before I had official stock (auto-updated) 4.4.2

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

That is interesting to know. Do you think the kernel is just for animation or can it directly or indirectly affect charging of the device?

What I can report is that I charged my tablet switched off, and though it was stuck at the charging animation as decribed in earlier posts, when I unplugged and booted my tab, the charge level had increased [from 67% to 100%].

It would be interesting to know more. I was concerned that if the tablet could only charge switched on, what would happen if the battery got completely drained?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sten_amund:
Thanks, williamvivian. I assume then that sboot.img was not removed from the firmware you downloaded/flashed.

Does anyone have an updated link to the N8013 4.1.2 rom? The rapidgator download on samsung-updates is broken and their other mirror doesnt work.

Orrrrrr...... is there some way I can contact the folks at samsung-updates.com and tell them their link is busted? I cant find contact info for them though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mundodisco:
Sten_Amund,

What do you mean with "sboot.img removed"? From the firmware 4.4.2 already installed, or from the 4.1.2 to be installed? If the answer is from 4.4.2, is there any way to remove it? If the answer is the second one, how do I get an "official" firmware just without that file? Anyway, is this tested? Can anyone assure that this way the charging animation will show correctly??

Regards,

Gabriel
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] cemilmustafa:
I have the same problem on my device.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sten_amund:
Hi Gabriel!

To me personally it's not a problem that charging animation is not showing as long as the charging works.

I was referring to the sboot.bin (sorry, I wrote sboot.img in my previous post) removed from the 4.1.2 about to be flashed. I was/am trying to figure out an alternative way to downgrade as Odin fails when trying to flash official/stock 4.1.2 over the official/stock 4.4.2, at least on my tablet.

There is a way to unpack/split, remove parts, and repack the roms (unfortunately, I have lost the link to where I found the software needed for that). I tested by unpacking the official 4.1.2, removing the sboot.bin , repacking and then flashing via Odin, but no success. Flashing gave no Odin-errors, but the tablet ended up stuck on the splash screen and would only allow me to enter 'downoad mode' (lucky me... :)). So I ended up reflashing the official 4.4.2 and the tablet now works again.

I might have misunderstood some things, but I thought that removing the sboot.bin from the 4.1.2 would leave the bootloader as 4.4.2, which would then allow the downgrade as there would be no "wrong", downgrade-preventing 4.1.2 bootloader included in the rom to be flashed.

I would be grateful if any of the more experienced members would enlighten me on the issue :)

All the best,

sten_amund

Big Thanks!! But my Mirrorcast does not work anymore

Hey there,

first of all I want to thank you for presenting this guide to downgrade my device. On Android Kit Kat my Tablet could not play any HD online streams without problems. No I am able again to watch HD without lags, which I am very greatful for.

My problem though:

I can´t Mirror Screen (Allshare Cast) anylonger.

I downgraded my device mainly because I wanted to be able again to watch HD Streams on my TV.

I tried everything, from resetting TV to installing Allshare Patch, even "Triangle away". Nothing worked.

My Data:

Device: Samsung Note 10.1 GT-N8010 (rooted and downgraded)

Kernel: 3.0.31-805288 , se.infra@SEP-40 #1 , SMP PREEMPT Wed Nov 20 16:24:52 KST 2013

Buildnumber: JZO54K.N8010XXUCMK2

Status: Custom (Triangle Away does not work) [Any other options?]

TV: Samsung UE40F6470

Error: AllShare Cast Connection Fails after 5-10 Sek (I am able to screen via youtube app or other apps but AllShare Cast does not Work anylonger)

I really want to be able again to stream Movies of TV-Shows via my Browser and Mirror Casting it on my TV.

Please Help me!!!!!

Thank you in advance!!!

best regards

Andy

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] quails:
Thanks for this tutorial, it totally saved my Note N8010 which was totally ruined by KitKat, so damn laggy lately that tempted to bin it - which maybe is what Samsung want. I cannot adequately express how terrible KitKat was for this device, especially when it was updating apps, unusable.

Previously I was totally stock N8010 KitKat, after an hour with this guide I have a usable device again, and even when I told it to reinstall 20 apps it was still usable, its like I have a whole new tablet again.

Samsung, I hope you are ashamed of your updates here - it stank.

BTW I saw some reference to people with charging problems after doing this, mine seems fine, but like I said it was 100% stock to start with, maybe thats why.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
Glad to see your device OK. I appreciate your feedback too, it makes me happy to see one's device recovered from the problem I faced before.

Mobile ODIN Pro, no run with firmware 4.4.2?

Hello. Thank you for your information, but when I went to download "Mobile ODIN Pro" I see a message that says "IMPORTANT NOTICE: DO NOT USE ON RECENT AND 5.0 4.4 FIRMWARES YET WE ARE WORKING ON AN UPDATE."

For that reason, I have not yet installed.

Will it work with version 4.4.2 that I have currently installed? Is there another version of ODIN work with 4.4.2? Could you make this process ODIN?

Perhaps that message refers to other devices.

Thanks again for your help. I too was very disappointed with the upgrade to 4.4.2.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TenchuXDA:
Well, should not be a problem i think, because I think most people here (including me) used Mobile ODIN Pro to downgrade, their 4.4.2 version of android.

Make sure you have 4.1.2 firmware downloaded first before you use Mobile ODIN Pro because heard many said that is hard to download the firmware.

FOR OTHERS WHO DIDNT USE MOBILE ODIN PRO, PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACKS TO MAKE THIS GUIDE MORE BETTER, THANKS!

Looking for firmware

You can find your firmware in others web like "sammobile", though, they have a quick payment option payment, and another free slow.

In almost every web put the two options.

There you go looking on the internet. You can try on Russian websites.

My Galaxy Note 10.1, the battery does not charge

Hello again.

I'm trying to upload my note 10.1, after reinstalling android 4.1.2. and no load. Only it is shown on the screen drawing without battery charging animation.

When you turn off the drawing back out even without inserting the USB cable. I fear that the battery is discharging, unable to do anything about it.

Finally, I had to go back to 4.4.2

Finally, I had to reinstall the version 4.4.2 because the battery ran out. :crying:

I could make it in time, and now my tablet has returned to recharge and work, but with version 4.4.2

I do not understand why some users have fared well and not others.

Perhaps the routear program is different in each of us?

In any case, we will look for someone to find a solution and we do know.

I would like to know how they could solve the other users who also had the battery.

Hi guys, I succeeded to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.1.2 stock firmware via Heimdall from PC with linux. If anyone is interested here are the steps:

1. Install Heimdall;

2.. Download 4.1.2 firmware from SamMobile to the PC;

3. Unzip the firmware archive, then extract unzipped tar.md5 file.

4. Backup important data from the device.

5. Connect the device to the PC via usb cable.

5. Reboot the device into ODIN mode -> Volume Down + Power button;

6. Check device compatibility with Heimdall :

6.1. "sudo heimdall detect" -> should see "Device detected"

6.2. "sudo heimdall print-pit" -> should see "PIT file download successful" and long list with device partitions.

7. If everything looks fine flash all of the extracted files except sboot.bin and tz.img, because the bootloader from 4.4.2 is locked and can not be downgraded.

7.1. "sudo heimdall flash --BOOT boot.img --CACHE cache.img --HIDDEN hidden.img --RADIO modem.bin --RECOVERY recovery.img --SYSTEM system.img"

8. Reboot to Recovery -> Volume Up + Power button;

9. Perform Wipe data / Factory reset.

10. Reboot device.

That is the way I succeeded to downgrade, because of the locked bootloader who fails install of the entire stock 4.1.2 firmware via ODIN.

If you want more detailed info, pls ask :)

I am getting these errors in Odin.

The problem happened after I read something over XDA.

I had flashed a custom ROM onto the tablet and then my tab kept crashing over and over again. So I wanted to install the stock firmware onto the tablet.

When I used Odin and tried to flash the ROM, the tab went into boot loop. It kept looping the first logo "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1" over and over again.

I really want someone to help me out.

I have noticed that there isn't such a big community for these models of devices. And I really want to bring this tab back to normal. It meant a lot to my mom...

My device needs Loki Doki. I've never had a SafeStrap device. I wonder if the ROM you're attempting to use doesn't work for your device type. Try using ROMs like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2468860 wich are made for devices uing SafeStrap. Most ROMs on here are de-bloated so whichever one you choose, it'll be better than the original one your phone came with.

Firmware/Radio shouldn't affect your phone's ability to install a ROM, just affects your performance (i.e. signal quality, etc.)
