Anybody there who can confirm when the Jelly Bean is coming to Saudi Arabia for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000. I am waiting eagerly for that, but found no clue when it will be released for our region.
I'm new to Android so I can't risk for rooting (I can't even do that coz never used android before)...
Thanks in Advance............
Well it should be out soon that all that we all can speculate, the update pattern of samsung is sick to say the least
You are better installing the german rom

Hi...checked out the answers and they don't seem to answer my question, so here goes....i have a 7.7 galaxy tab purchased in UK but now in Saudi Arabia...it's running Android 3.2...i've been told, if i was still in the UK it would have upgraded by now to ICS but as i'm not i have to upgrade via Kies...i downloaded Kies to my laptop and awaited for the ICS install package but couldn't find it. I tried looking for updates but it says i have the latest....is there anything else i can do to get ICS.....i guess when i return to the UK it may upgrade...i don't know but there must be a way now....thanks for all your help...from a newbie...Mike
the ICS update for UK is not release... yet... so if you are waiting for the official UK firmware... you need to wait more... currently there is Austria,HK,India,China and Asia release.

Never been a real fan of Kies. Mobil ODIN is the way I have found to be almost "idiot-proof". Actually it almost won't let you do bad things like re-partition! Has Everroot so you can flash and inject root saving re-rooting.
Actually you need not wait from region-specific firmware. I flashed the Austrian ICS firmware and it runs beautifully!

What is this Odin...will it mess with my o/s...i like my tab the way it is....what does Odin do? Can someone explain please...thanks..Mike
Mike..Odin is a program that you use to 'flash' your software (HC, ICS) up-grades yourself, instead of waiting for the OTA (over the air) or via Kies.
There's PC Odin which is a windows based PC program and there's Mobile Odin which installs to your phone via Google Play Store.
You say that you are happy with your tab just the way it is...??..??
If so... then dont worry about up-dating your tabs software.
good luck...

Hi,
I had purchased a Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Singapore and I have been using it in India ever since. I have been hearing that the official ICS is out and is available through KIES, but I have tried several times and it still shows Gingerbread as the latest firmware available. Also contacted Samsung support but they are unable to help . Please suggest what do I do ?
Cheers

To root, use CF-Auto-Root. It's easy to do.

Salam and Hello xda community. As you may know that Samsung has not yet sent the OTA of JB 4.2.2 for Galaxy Tab 2 (GT-P3100) in middle eastern countries like Saudi,Egypt etc. It's not available through Kies or Sammobile. Even though its been more than a year since the tab's release here.
I think we should bomb Samsung Arabia's twitter account and maybe even start a petition so they will roll out the OTA atleast. Anyone with me?
Please someone point me in the right direction if I'm doing something wrong here.

Wow Samsung should be ashamed of themselves. I mean why the hell do they behave like this with Middle Eastern countries only?
My friends have a Note II and 2 S III's that are still on JB 4.1. I wonder if this is the case with the Note 3. If so I may have to get it from somewhere else
Just curious, I have an N8013 2012 edition, can that be upgraded to 4.4 without rooting, I I don't want to have to setup the whole tablet again, but would like to have 4.4 on it because a few 3rd party apps I use require minimum 4.2
If possible can someone guide me, cheers
Wow i guess not possible, 90 plus views and no replies, I guess I have no choice but to root.
Just flash a 4.4.2 ROM from GT-N8010 with Odin. 8010 and 8013 have the same hardware, wifi only...

Should be possible...

If you use the 8010 kitkat version you will have issues with the mobile addons unless you root and remove them. Kitkat will NOT be released for the n8013. Samsung has no intentions of upgrading the wifi only US tablet EVER.
They released 1 update for the tablet and that's it. No security updates or bug fixes. And that is due to Apple suing them. The N8013 is one of the tablets Apple seems to think Samsung copied even though it has a pen.
You might as well root your tablet. The bloat on the stock rom is horrid.
please help me root

I have heard that n8000 and n0813 has the same firmware ? if then please tell me how you rooted it ? I am having the official firmware.
Samsung never released 4.4.2 for the US but everywhere else kthe world they did. In Germany it hit in summer 2014 after the tablet was a little over 2 years old. In Luxembourg it got 4.4.2 less than a year ago. The latest update in the US was a security patch in late 2015. Samsung said the update would release the the US eventually but it's been over 2 years it's been out. Where is the damn update. I've been spamming support trying to get ahold of the team in charge because I want the official ROM because KitKat makes it way smoother and handle ram better and every app requires atleast KitKat now. I know I can flash custom ROM but that's not something I want to do on this tablet. So has anyone found a way to get n8010 KitKat on n8013. I always get an error in Odin. I'm looking for a n8010 device or motherboard for sale as well in case I can't get it in mine. Thanks
Its not listed for 8013 and i dont understand your released in Europe when its a USA cellular model .
I'll clarify, n8000 is cellular model, n8010 is international wifi, n8013 is Us wifi. It does up as Cellular South CSC but it's wifi unlocked. They all got KitKat except for the US wifi variant which I expected it would get first, don't know why the CSC is XAR but that shouldn't matter Samsung
As posted no update for 8013 .
Others yes see identical posts .
Yes I know I'm asking if anyone was and to get n8010 running on n8013 since they are same hardware, I hope Samsung responds

Samsung isn't here and they aren't going to support an ancient device and they won't support it more than they have when it was still relevant.
sammobile.com doesn't have 4.4.2 for the 8013.
There are a plethora of ROMs to choose from that will meet/exceed your requirements (well, the 4.4.2 part, not an 'official' 4.4.2).
I ran Omni for years; it's a wonderful ROM, only surpassed by the currently-maintained CM/Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1).

I wanted official but I may give that up, I have never rooted and custom rom guides are way to brief I want someone to show me how to do it. Also do they have s pen support and all the apps and play store apps on custom roms, I want it also to be smooth as ****

Omni and CM/Lineage are far smoother than stock. Both have full S-Pen functionality (use Note Buddy app if you have to, has nice extras also) and both have full Play Store access (install gapps, per instructions) and with root, you can use F-Droid.
