Hi there:
For people intending to upgrade their GTN8000 bought from a region other than Germany to the officially released 4.1.1 JB, From what I have read i just concluded the following :
1- the only way to do the upgrade is via Odin
2- after performing the upgrade you won't be able to receive any new updates OTA or via Kies.. The only way for any future update will be only via Odin.
3-after getting the upgrade you won't be able to sign with your Samsung account because it's linked to your region
My questions areb
1- is that true?
2- and if all that happened, do we have any smart ways to overcome other than to wait for our region release?
Appreciate your replies mates
Me and hundreds of more people are awaiting for some clear advices.
You won't get ota, butt when the jb update comes out for your region just flash it with odin and you'll have ota again.

You can always update with odin and reset your csc to Germany by opening phone app and typing *#272*imei# resetting csc should make your Note believe it is from Germany and should allow updating via kies. WORD OF WARNING resetting your csc will wipe apps and data.

Hi all,
I am trying to follow up on the rumours of ICS being released in the UK via Kies. However, I have a US firmware on my SGT 7+ (P6210UELA3) and I'd like to get the UK version (or EU if there isn't a UK one) on there to see if I can grab the ICS update.
Does anyone have a link to the official UK/EU firmware from which I can grab and flash the ROM?

He heard it here from qubeuk user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28725729
It may be a short-term released firmware he accidentally updated to, but it's not available yet. According to its build time, it was compiled some hours after the P6200 firmware.
I understand Samsung strategy. Releases only one firmware per device per week, only for one small region. They know xda members will jump on it, install it, and besides Austrian users, experienced users will stress-test the firmware. Maybe they solve bugs, too, like the P6800 WIFI bug (and I bet this can be applied to P6200 users, too, check P6800 forum). After testing that, they will fix all errors and release firmwares for all regions and all models in a few weeks.
And, they're right. No better and cheaper testers than experienced users. And this way, simple users will just get a stable version later.

I don't wanna get into a useless fight but think it over again. Open your eyes and see what happens when a device like tab7+ comes to surface months after ICS is introduces with HC installed and almost a year is needed to get ICS in a very limited region first, but letting experienced users to install it on their device. Why? Money?
Believe me, this is the strategy. This way, major bugs affect only a few "official" users (Austrian people), but experienced ones can find all bugs by using and testing devices for free. Why? Less investment?
So, "sorry", but believe this is how it works. And I believe your opinion is based on decades of software production knowledge, but mine is.

You are completely wrong about the ICS timeframe just so you know. Its only been on the street for 7ish months. And on tablets for farrrrr less time.

You're completely right! I remembered that G7+ was released in February but now I see it was released in last October. Sorry, my bad. Anyway, it doesn't change my opinion on Samsung firmware upgrade policy.
Official UK ICS 4.04 GT-P6210 Firmware
Here is the link for the official UK 4.04 ICS firmware for the P6210 I've downloaded and installed via Odin today on 2 6210's no problems and much better than honeycomb. I also change my CSC as mine was set to France and now set to UK so updates via Kies work etc.

Hope this helps

I used a program from the play store which change the CSC from XEF (France) to XEU (UK) link below. It didn't state that it work for the GT-P6210 but did work fine with a little messing. If I ran it from 3.2 Honeycomb it didn't come up with any options to change the CSC and just showed I was on XEF (France) CSC so what seemed to work for me is to factory reset 3.2 (or 4.04 if you have already installed update)and leave it at the language selection screen do not enter any set-up details then turn off and enter download mode and flash 4.04 firmware from Odin. Once that's finished complete initial set-up and get into the 4.04 OS and install CSC selector from the Play store and run it selecting XEU (UK) from the list and install the new CSC. This will automatically do another full reset on the device changing the CSC to the new region and will now updates OTA or through Kies no problem as your CSC matches the firmware (this is confirmed when you open Kies as it shows the CSC on the initial screen).
Whenever you change the CSC it always wipes the device a little annoying but only needs doing the once so not a big problem to get the device right.

I bought the SGS2 rooted from Hungary and when I connected it to KIES it still recognised the software as official and when I went to my home country Malta it managed to upgrade to ICS. Since that time I flashed other roms and never went back to samsung official roms (unless they are not modified).
The other thing you should think of is you can always revert back to the official GB if something goes wrong. Just be sure that you can download the official firmware for your country so that you will have it when you need it back.
Good luck with your flashing If you need something do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to help
Hello everyone,
I live in the UK and got my Note 10.1 Wi-Fi N8000 for last Christmas from my brother who worked in South Korea. Everything was in Korean and I switched it all in English and everything works fine.
The thing that bugs me right now is that I would like to upgrade to Jelly Bean but nothing new is detected when I hit the Software Update button... Do you have any idea why?
Is it simply not available for me yet and should I just wait more? That would surprise me as I noticed that JB has already been deployed in many countries now, and 4.1.2 update seems to be on the way...
Or more likely in my opinion, does it have anything to do with my tablet coming from South Korea?
In any case, what should I do to get Jelly Bean?
For now, my Note is working under the original ICS 4.0.4, and is not rooted. I am ok with rooting my Note if need be but if possible, I'd prefer not to use Kies...
Thanks for your help!
root and update with odin to get the latest 4.1.2 check the step by step guides first though so you know what you are doing.

you can't update OTA because the firmware that you are using is of South Korea.. so the only way to get JB is to flash it... and don't worry everyone here don't use kies... we use ODIN...
what you shoud do first is download these necessary files:
1. Odin - the flashing tool
2. the firmware you wan't to flash
optional:
3. root
4. custom recovery..
here's the link for guides and downloads - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080366

Thanks very much!
I would have a few more (newbie) questions still:
- Once I flash a new ROM, will I be able to get OTA updates or will it be never possible?
And actually I don't understand why using a South Korean firmware prevents me from updating OTA... How do the South Korean do then, they can't update OTA? If I got a South Korean IP by connecting to a South Korean VPN for example, would OTA updates work? Or am I totally wrong? :silly:
- About choosing the new ROM (I'll stick with the official ones for now), does the country matter or can I choose whatever I fancy? (I live in the UK right now but I'm from France so I don't know if I should choose one version over the other)
- And one last but not least thing: as my Note is from Korea, my device model is actually SHW-M480W and is not like N80XX.
As it is Wi-Fi only, it should correspond to N8010 but are you sure that flashing a N8010 firmware will actually work?
Hi guys,
I have to sell my note 10.1 n8010, it's running android version 4.1.2, ROM Android Revolution HD 5.1 by mike1986. I'd like to reset it to the default software, like it was back when I bought it, so the buyer would have a working warranty. Thanks in advance! :victory:
Reset binary counter and use the nandroid backup if you have one, if not get the stock firmware from sammobile and flash with odin.

Thanks for the reply, but I have a couple of questions. How do I reset the binary counter and do I reset it after flashing the stock firmware? And if you could tell me which version of odin to use and which files from sammobile exactly, because I've never searched or flashed stock firmware before.
Use triangle away for binary count reset before flashing the stock firmware. Search on sammobile for the fw. for your region. DBT, bgl, coa etc, chose the right one for you. Use the last version of odin, can't remember the number.
Ps: please read the "how to" topics, you will find everything much better explained there.

Not sure if it even matters as the warranty states............
Standard Limited Warranty
What is Covered and For How Long?Samsung Electronics America, Inc. ("SAMSUNG") warrants to the original purchaser ("Purchaser") that SAMSUNG's Tablets and accessories ("Products") are free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the period commencing upon the date of purchase and continuing for the following specified period of time after that date:
So does that mean a used one carries no guarantee or warranty?
With that said the process is very simple.
First you need to download the firmware, I looked up your profile and I would guess you need the firmware for Croatia http://www.hotfile.com/dl/241152426/f08e361/N8010XXUCMG1_N8010OXXCMG1_TRA.zip.html
Next get "triangle away" from google play and reset the counts.
Then go to "How to Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy Note 10.1!" http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-2/how-to-unrootunbrick-galaxy-note-10-1-factory-firmware/ follow exactly. After restoring to factory firmware you will need to then do a factory reset.

Hello, I have a problem with my SGS8 + (G955F), unfortunately I'm not the first owner ... I have FW 7.0 (G955FXXU1AQDD) .. and I did not get any OTA updates, manual check: The system is up to date. When I check sammobile 8.0 is for all countries.
Does anyone have a similar problem? My cellphone is not branding. Is some way to fix without using odin?
Thanks for any information and answer
