1- Download and install Odin 1.85. Make sure you have Kies installed first because it installs the necessary USB drivers.
2- Extract the ROM .zip file and put it on your desktop or somewhere easy to find.
3-Run Odin as adminstrator.
4-Click on the PDA button in Odin and find the ROM file you want to load on to your Note. It's an MD5 file. Leave everything else as-is.
5-Put your Note in to download mode by pressing power and volume down at the same time. Use the volume up button to select download mode. A little green Android should show up on the Note's screen.
6-Connect your Note via USB to your PC. The box under ID:COM in Odin should turn yellow.
7-Click start in Odin. Odin will show you what it's doing in the message box and you'll see a progress bar on your Note. When it's done, disconnect your Note from the PC and it should reboot itself with the update?

Latest Firmware: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1847706
I used this procedure to update my note 10.1. It worked perfectly, just like an update from kIes. Make sure you are not rooted before you do this. Your note must be bone stock with no modifications. This procedure did not wipe my note, all my apps and data were intact after the update.
Make sure you read up on using Odin before you try this. Also, read up on the ota to make sure you want it. It fixes a lot of problems, but some people don't like the new s notes. For me, the ota makes the note so much better that it's a complete no brainer.
There is also a pre rooted version of this fIrmware in the development section.

Hi this is how to root your s4.
Pre-requisites
1) Install USB Driver for Samsung Galaxy S4 to transfer files between the Android device and the computer.
2) Enable USB Debugging Mode on phone to connect it with computer and use Android SDK with it. [Press Menu>> Settings>> Applications. From there navigate and click on Development option and check USB Debugging Mode.]
3) As the tutorial might wipe out all data of the phone, create a backup. If the device is having any custom recoveries such as ClockworkMod/TWRP already installed, backup data using the recovery.
4) The Galaxy S4 should have above 80% battery charge.
5) The phone should be factory unlocked and not locked to any particular carrier.
6) The device will lose manufacturer's warranty once it is rooted. However, users can reclaim the warranty back by unrooting the handset later.
7) The CF-Auto-Root files work only on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 and GT-I9505. As applying these to any incorrect variant might brick the device, verify the model number of Galaxy S4 by navigating to Settings>> About phone>> Model number and install the root package accordingly.
Steps to root Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500/I9505 on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
Step-1: Download CF-Auto-Root file for Galaxy S4 to computer (Download link download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
Step-2: Extract the downloaded root zip using Winzip, 7zip, winrar or any other extracting tool to get a file with .tar.md5 extension
CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5
Step-3: Download Odin3_v3.07. Extract the Odin zip to get Odin3 v3.07.exe file
Step-4: Switch off Galaxy S4 and wait for five to six seconds for vibration to confirm complete power off
Step-5: Place the phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power buttons together until the construction Android robot icon with a warning triangle appears on the phone's screen. Then press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode
Step-6: Run Odin3 v3.07.exe as Administrator
Step-7: Connect the phone to the computer using USB cable while it is in Download Mode. Wait for some time until Odin detects the device. When the phone is connected successfully, an Added message will appear under Odin message box. Additionally, the ID: COM box in Odin will turn blue with the COM port number indicating successful connection
Note: If the Added message does not appear, then try another USB port, try the one located at the back side of the computer. In case Odin still fails to recognise the device then reinstall USB driver.
Step-8: In Odin, click the PDA button and select CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 or CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 file according to the variants
Step-9: Ensure Auto-Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes are selected in Odin
Step-10: Click the Start button in Odin. The installation process should begin now and would take few minutes to complete
Step-11: When the installation process is completed, the phone will restart and soon a PASS message with a green background in the extreme left box at the very top of Odin. Once the home screen appears, unplug the USB cable from the phone to disconnect it from computer
Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500/I9505 running Android 4.3 should now be rooted successfully. You can now install any app that requires root permission. To verify the root method is installed and working properly, install Root Checker app from Google Play Sore.

So if you fire up ODIN and then put your phone in DOWNLOAD mode and plug it in to your computer, you do not get the com port showing as yellow with a random port number shown?

YES

nevermind i can now use odin properly but i think i got to wait for the 4.3 official firmware to download and use it for odin right? i need the 4.3 OFFICIAL firmware file thts model is sch-1535

Yes, with ODIN you have to use the official firmware releases.
Just remember if you flash the official 4.3 release it will update your boot loader and you won't be able to ODIN back to a previous release and clear your warranty void counter.

N8010 Problems

Hi,
Figured id start off by explaining the history on my Samsung Note N8010
A while back i installed Hyperdrive Rom RS8 (i think), no problems, flawless. However it did change my device id to an N8013, not sure why.
Recently i wanted to use SkyGo Tablet app, however root cloak and Voodoo does not cloak SkyGo Tablet app on this specific rom so i figured id revert back to the original 4.1.2 stock.
I used Mobile Odin, grabbed the zip/tar from the Sam-mobile and hit go.
On reboot, it would not load in, stuck on the Samsung Note 10.1 splash. I do have access to download mode and recovery mode, but it's labelled Android System Reocvery <3e>.
It is worth noting that USB debug did not work on Hyperdrive, so currently no matter what computer i connect this tablet to Odin, Kies or anything will not see it.
When trying to "apply update from sd card" i get E:\ mount problems, it pretty much fails every time.
Any suggestions?

The original issue is probably one of two things. If you downloaded the rom directly to your device its Likely a bad download. DID YOU CHECK MD5 Before flashing. There are also limitations to Mobile odin.
What i would suggest is to uninstall Kies . Make sure you have no other android devices installed on your computer .Download the older version again from Samsung website. Install on your computer. Download odin again i think you want the one a version back as well NOT Latest.
Reboot into download mode. Run odin. if it still does not see your device check Device manager and see if its showing up with a yellow mark. Look for a post i made last week explaining how to correct usb driver for windows.. Download mode should work with out usb debug on if i remember correctly..

Hi, cheers for the response,
I have tried all of what you have said but unfortunately no PC will see my device, not even an "unrecognized device". I have access to android system reocvery <e3> and Download mode (Odin) but the pc just won't recognized, tried new leads and so forth, nothing.
