Hi all
Sorry to bother you. I upgraded my UK Note to the German JB 4.1.1. a few weeks ago and it's been flying since. I noticed today though, that SamMobile had the German 4.1.2. version available for download (N8010XXUCMA5 / N8010OXACMA5), so I'm now in the process of downloading it.
What I need to know is, is it simply a case of me doing what I did to upgrade to JB before? I used Odin if I remember right, and pointed it toward the ROM I wanted to flash with. Is that all that's needed?
Also, do I need to backup my present setup or won't it affect my present apps when I flash with 4.1.2.?
Many thanks guys

Odin flash --> User Data/Apps is not deleted --> reroot (if you want)
Backup is always a good idea
Backing up your current setup is always a good idea, but I had no issue when I flashed it.
Assuming that your not rooted, use Odin or use Exynos Abuse to root and then...
If you are rooted then get a copy of Mobile Odin and select everroot.
Thanks guys
I'm not rooted at the moment. Do I need to root? I haven't felt the need to do so until now, so I'm not really bothered about rooting...

No pressing need to root so if you don't want to, then just use Odin to flash it.
You do not need to root to flash using odin just go on the link on my signature to get the tutorial

Great.
One more question. I swapped from a UK ROM to the German JB one. Is it an easy procedure to go back to the official UK ROM if and when ver. 4.1.2. is available in the UK?
Cheers
Yes it should not be a problem the same procedure but make sure you take a back up
Thanks all
11 minutes and counting before the new ROM is d/loaded...
Just had a look at the rooting guide (thanks Samir) and the first option looks very easy (ExynosAbuse app). If I was to use this method would I lose any functionality of the Note at all? Also, if I have to send my Note back, would Samsung object to the note having been rooted?
Cheers
I dont think mobile odin will flash the hidden or bootloaders, odin or heimdall is a better option
the exynos abuse patch doesn't work on the MA (4.1.2) builds, if you want root use cfautoroot through odin on those.
Rooting will cause issues with samsungs warranty. If you need to return a device to samsung then you need to restore it to stock rom, with no root, they are using a binary counter though that you can get rid of by using triangleaway.
don't forget to use the search on the forum for these topics, there's been quite a bit about them
Well I've followed the instructions like last time, but it won't update - it keeps saying the process has 'FAILED'
Can anyone shed any light on why I can't update???
Confirm that Kies is not running
Sent from my GT-N8000 using XDA Premium HD app
Can you post a screenshot ??
What version of odin are you using
Hi guys
Thanks for the quick replies. I must admit to being a plonker of the highest order - I never put the tablet in d/l mode did I
It's doing its business now. Roll on 4.1.2. goodness!!!
Thanks to all of you for your help

So I am currently on the CM10.1 nightlies on my Canadian N8010. I'm now trying to reflash the stock rom back onto it, but I'm not sure which one to flash. samfirmware has stock roms for almost every contry, except for teh Canadian one. Does anyone know which rom i should be flashing, ie is there no Canadian one, and where i should find it?

Ah thank you.
I will update you if i find your stock firmware.
You Can Use ODIN On Your PC, Or Mobile ODIN On Your Device To Flash The Stock .tar Files....
I'd Try Sammobile.com For stock firmware...

Hey, i just chatted with a samsung support guy. He said there are no firmwares available on the website nor anywhere else.
You can only get updates with kies. but that is not the way you want it.....

you could try using a different language. but i dont know if it can damage your tablet.
Sock roms are interchangeable through regions. That's how most people got JB when it wa first released for Germany only....
Just be aware however that flashing a stock rom will change your CSC (region code), you will need to change back with the CSC Changer app available in app store HOWEVER, make sure to backup the contents on your Internal memory first or you will loose it.
i have a new att sgh-i497. I want to make the stock tar.md5 so if I make a mistake i can use odin to restore it. How does a noob do this?
I have no custom recovery. its a total stock device. I am also trying to host it for all the members who have a soft bricked att sgh-i497.
also do i need to factory reset it first?

you're right, i've (tried) to help people with your tab I497's and can't find the original firmware anywhere. a few people state that the Jamaica firmware works (though i know that's not what you're after) i'm just googling ways to make backups from CWM backups.

Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.
same here. where can we get it from?

Just downgrade to an older version via Odin if possible. It can be done on Verizon so I don't see why not on yours.

I tried the previous version while in download mode using Odin. Loaded the stock rom in the AP slot and started it then it failed pretty quick. The com shows connected before I hit start but it still fails.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
I just bought a galaxy s8 plus phone. The Wi-Fi keeps saying turning on, but doesn't actually turn on. It's not my router because I can get my galaxy s7 phone to connect no issue. It's a Samsung G955U and 7.0
Any thoughts?
You can try a factor y reset and or stock firmware
Reinstall. Sometimes stock can be broken as well.

First you need your firmware. Which can be found in about phone and baseband.

Only other thing I know to do is try a couple firmwares and maybe one of the combo files around. If none of that works then a ram with Sammy may be the only option. As this is about everything you can try on your end.
Unless some one else wants to chime in with something I didn't think of.
Ps I had this happen on my LG g3. Camera could not connect. Flash many roms. Flash this that. Nothing. And all because they used apparently the same base I had. I bricked. Or something downloaded a new firmware from a new site and flashed and bam. No camera issue from there on out
