Hey guys!
Just looked over at sammobile and discovered an Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 OTA update like this Germany 11 Sep 2012 4.0.4 From N8000XXALGB To N8000XXALI2 95.1 MB
i KNOW that this is NOT the JB update but is this update similar to the N7000 Germany Update? where N7000 got a couple of new note II features like noteII gallery and so on..

Mmmhhh... Anybody has N8000XXALGB (the base version)? I have N8000XXALGA, and that's the only one available at samfirmware, too...
Still on XXALGA, no OTA, NO KIES update. Where the heck comes this info from ?

Info is from samfirmware, you can download the ota there. However, you need xxalgb as base to instal it, which I haven't seen anywhere yet...

Ok just went on samfirmware, didn't see the german version you mentioned, but saw a Spain version N8000XWALI2 70 MB, that needs N8000XWALG9.
Might try it out later see, if theres any goodies, but I'm doubting there is. :/
As far as I can tell, India is the only one getting the JB leak. I hear they curried favor with Samsung.

You might have a look at the ota first, see what files are touched. Though, guessing from its size, there's quite a bit of changes... But I don't expect much visible changes, probably mostly under the hood...

Oh! Wasn't aware it's already you reporting back, sorry, and thanks for sharing!
Checked the file integrity? Maybe the download messed it up.
Are you on unmodified stock? No system files deleted or changed?
You might have a look at the updater script, maybe there's a hint on what error 7 is trying to tell us.
Other than these, I don't really know where to look...

Just tried it, and it failed with some system files not matching (code 7). Didn't investigate further, probably flashing the prerequisite ROM would let it pass (might have a mix here).
Taking another path now, though, given that there's a bunch of OTAs today. Going for the Philippines, starting with XWALH1, OTA to XWALI2, then OTA to XXBLI2 (4.1.1!).
Thus, topic XXALI2 closed for me...

You might save yourself the trouble... The update to XXBLI2 fails for the same reason. If I got it right, it's due to different CSCs, which in some stage causes system files to be changed in a way the OTA doesn't expect... the annoying part is, that it's files that nobody cares for, but alas, unless you want to dig them all out and adjust the ota correspondingly or change your CSC, it's a no go.
Thus, back to what I had.

Yeah, it seems we both feel for it again. Doubt I can be bothered to look through it though. Think I'll just be more patient now until someone says they've managed to get something to work.
I just downloaded the LI2 OTA update from sammobile for my LH2 (DBT) (got the LH2 via Kies update). Using Odin Mobile Pro, I flashed that OTA update without problems, LI2 (DBT) is up and running fine so far. But stick to the instructions and flashing is always on your own risk.

Thanks for pointing this out to us! These ota's are new today, yesterday there was only the one starting from XXALGB, which I hadn't a clue where to get. I'll try the one corresponding to my actual rom (XXALGA) - should also work for you, KingRamo - but wanted to ask something before:
When I tried the Philippean way, I saw that SNotes turns screen brighness to FULL whenever you start editing a note. This is fatal, as I normally don't write my notes in bright sunlight... Does this also happen on the German LI2 update?

I think snote has a separate brightness setting. when you start snote it will revert to the brightness last used when running snote.

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Yes ota means over the air.
Yep, most rom developers strip the bloatware from the firmware and put in all kinds of optimization.

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The most recent, known update simply added the 'Birthday' card template to S-Note. (Scroll down to bottom when creating a note), changed Polaris Office a little (reportedly), and just very minor stuff.

What he is talking about is the fact it keeps saying to wait in line to update OTA and it can take days if at all, whereas through kies it is fast and easy. About the only thing kies is good for .

Hi,
I just got my 4.3 update on the VZW SCH-I535 phone! Then I decided to try CM10.2 and didn't realize that my phone was re-locked because of the OTA update! Now my phone is stuck with the message "System software not authorized ..." To move past this issue, I have tried (and failed) the following:
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN (withSamsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535_VZW_1_20120705143513_fti2qg2lmf-stock-rom-4.0.3). It goes all the way through and I get a PASS! But after the phone reboots I get the "System error ... " again
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN with stock.vzw_root66.tar file and got the same result as above.
- I have also tried installing with Nand Erase All and Re-Partition checked, with PDA selected using the first rom, but I still get the same error
- I have read and tried some of the thread on this site with no luck either.
Any clue how I can get past this issue? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Turns out, after working with the ATT folks for a while, that the IMEI number that my phone has comes up incorrectly in their database. It shows up as a Samsung Tab. Checked with Samsung and my IMEI number is correct, so ATT will have to fix it on their end to get my phone to work correctly. I don't know why they make it so hard to migrate phones across service providers.
I've got my phone bugging to update but I haven't done it yet because I don't want to lose root. if I understand this right I can update and then re root with that download? or is there another method?

From my understanding u can root it and safetrap (I read not that stable) but you CANNOT flash a custom recovery nor Rom it will brick your ffone I j

The only working root method is currently saferoot if you take the OTA. Personally I wouldn't take it. I'd suggest keeping your unlocked bootloader in tact and running a custom 4.3 rom.

You van root 4.3 after ota or that link, but if I was you I would try to use the ota first. If it works you will keep all installed apps and settings (but it might be buggy). If you follow that link you will loose current setup, apps and it will format internal sd (but it will be clean and hopefully bug free ). Make sure you are home with access to a pc before you try ota. If you changed to much of the workings of your phone the ota may not work or could even brick you. In that case you will need to use that link.

Honestly I'm glad I took the ota on accident. The past few weeks my phone has worked without a hitch. Some people just do not need custom ROMs and I think I am one of them. I'm pretty sure everyone who complains about how 4.3 is buggy and a battery hog just needs to use Odin to get a clean fresh start. I am disappointed that I can't install cyanogen when I turn this into my mp3 player after I get a new phone but its not like tw is bad. It just has a few annoying things that I can change with root access.

I dnt hate tw ..I think is a good Rom in general .all that bloatware what got me to root and then lead to custom roms .like mention not everyone needs cuztom things.I do agree that a clean install of TW runs great .but I like options .and to each there own

That's good. I've seen the OTA in action as my girl has it on her phone and she's complained about it every day since she took it. I've running wicked sensations 4.3 and it runs like a champ.

OK I just installed safestrap and I kid you not the theme of wicked sensation made me swap back to my stock slot immediately. I'll use it all day tomorrow and tell you what differences I notice. Right off the bat it just looks like a ROM made from a recovery backup and customized with xposed. I can't wait for beans to make a 4.3 rom.

Seriously? They put a ton of work into theme on this rom. I've seen 4.3 stock and I'm not impressed. It's boring and pretty basic. Wicked is an awesome rom. I've run just about all of them. Beans rom isn't bad at all but I seemed to have a ton of issues with it

I like it, but it certainly doesn't have quite the same cleanliness as a good AOSP theme. It's all personal preference.
At least we know safestrap is working consistently.
