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 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.

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

So we should expect test releases very soon
This could very well be an OTA file, instead of a full ROM tarball.
We would need to find the base Ukranian firmware. Maybe keep changing CSC on Ukraine stock until it shows OTA available.
Thanks for the news, GOD I hope its in a few weeks..

Could,be,but the update will have to be extensive, since we need a new kernel, and boot (to fix the brick bug) as well as OS

For the Galaxy SII with similar hardware, the updates are full updates (over 580 MB)
Heads up last night I saw Japan Tab 7.0 Plus Kies Update from @SamKiesUpdates,
Japan SC-02D Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus update SC02DOMMP4/SC02DDCMMP4
edit: thats the tmobile Note getting JB not Tmo tab plus..
Rolling out.. Confirmed here.....
http://www.pocketdroid.net/samsung-...d-receive-jellybean-updates-japan-ntt-docomo/
Edit: may be reported incorrectly other people reporting its 4.0.4 with a build.number of IMM76D.OMMP4 instead of beginning with J
While I dont think we should start ripping this apart and bricking devices attempting to port,
I think our JB is on its way soon..

Yeah, haven't seen anything yet on SamMobile, but we should expect to possibly test releases very soon
The release of official JB will help with the CM based ROMs too, they can update their libs and kernel and fix some of the bugs

Don;t be silly, the 6210 will probably be one of the first to update, they don;t have to clear with a cell provider first.
The UK P6210 was the fist to get ICS 4.0.4 , so we will be watching for a UK update to JB
Welp, I searched for a base Ukraine firmware previously and there was none not even HC.
Samfirmware just posted a 4.0.4 Ukraine (Kyivstar) firmware and Kazakhastan 4.0.4 firmware.
They are dated Sep/Oct though..
good news to me..

That is indeed good news. Samsung is trying to get everyone (P62xx) up to the same baseline before the JB update.
There is also a recently posted China update for p6210
PDA: P6210ZCLPC
CSC: P6210OZHLPC
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2013-01-28
I would expect the updates for P62xx Tab 7 plus to come out about the same time as P68XX Tab 7.7 since the hardware is very similar.

Samsung is pushing out all the 4.0.4 builds to get everyone on the same baseline before JB 4.1.2 starts rolling out.
Although not the quickest release (us customers are never happy) I am glad that Samsung is pushing out something for the p6200 - I am glad we have not been forgotten....
I bought just yesterday a samsung galaxy r9103, all good and in order but i have a lillte problem.
In Csc i only have CHN and CHZ.
I`ve downloaded and flashed using odin and guide ( 10x for that) Gb 2.3.6. Non branded and all region PDA, MODEM and CSC files.
After that i used that code*#272*IMEI# but also got just those 2 Sales codes like i said.
And who sold that phone to me didn'ttold me that this phone is boght form China, and i dont like those stck apps that are installed after i flashed that rom ( and also i can`t use gmail .apk, playstore.apk, gmaps and so on).
tell me is there a solution that ca can fiind to this problem.
I want toinstall a allreagion CSC so my problems will be solved, but i didn`t find anything ( tutorial, guide, thead) about my problem.
I hope someone can help me to solve this problem.
Thank you so much!

If you are rooted & want to do..then root your phone & switch to CM10.1. It has all solutions.
So a solution to remain on actualy rom 2.3.6gb all region u dont have?
See pictures.!
which region are you in? Which region rom would you like to use? You can flash any stock 2.3.6 Official Samsung ROM from this link
Welcome to the SGR Family
You will have to download Odin in your PC and flash the stock rom you want via that software. Then you will have another region's CSC in your phone. The current bugfree and stable 2.3.6 ROMs are the austrian "3" provider rom. To be honest, the reason why most of us here recommend CM10.1 is because of its awesomeness. Another point is that Gingerbread Roms (2.3.6) and ICS Roms (4.0.4) which were officially released by samsung are buggy for us. For eg, in GB Indian CSC version Rom the data counter doesnt work properly and in ICS the games do not work properly, there is frequent stuttering etc. Hence we moved to jelly bean 4.2 in cm10.1 which is just beyond amazing.
However, if you use GPS often or skype/other voice calling apps over the internet they may not work properly yet. GPS is sort of moody and is working for some and not for the rest.. not sure why.. but i'm sure all these bugs will be squashed out soon..
Happy flashing
Hello,
I've had my GT-N8000 since 2013 it has 3G option and is ulocked.
I remember when i got it it had a baseband N8000XXALI3, i remember cos I wrote it on the box! Back then it had the very first rom edition of 4.0 something and wanted to update the firmware but no updates were available at the time. I waited a couple of months and after that i flashed on it the german 4.1.2 stock rom using Odin. My Tablet is unlocked so all went well and it still runs very well. It's not rooted.
Currently my tablet has the following info:
AP: N8000XXCMA1
CP: N8000XXCLL1
CSC: N8000XACMA1
Now when looking for updates, none show up on OTA or KIES, and i really need to update to the latest official rom which as I understand is 4.4 but I don't know which file to download. Can you help me? Anything I need to do before that? Backup a Nand or EFS? I don't really know what those are!
Any advice on which rom to use and keep the s-pen functionality and 3G? Are there any new roms for marshmallow?
Thank you kindly in advance.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-N8000/
Baseband is modem not firmware .
Thank you for replying,
I have already went to that page and I wanted to make sure which rom to download, there are many 4.4.2 but none of them are for my country. And to tell you the truth, this tablet was offered to me as a gift back then from overseas and I'm not sure of its country of origin. I there a way to know that?
So I'm not sure which rom to download and flash without messing something up!
Sorry for the noob questions, the more details you can provide will be appreciated. And thanks again.
Download for your location/network/model.
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
My device is unlocked as in not bound to a cell carrier and neither my location nor my provider are available in that list of roms.
In that case what's the best option?
Thank you kindly.
