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.

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 restart problem after update to JB

I updated my galaxy tab 2 7.0 p3100 to JB using this steps:
Pre-requisites
1. Install USB Drivers for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on the computer.
2. Enable USB Debugging Mode on the phone by navigating to Settings >> Developer Options.
3. Make a backup of all your important data before following the guide.
4. The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 should be factory unlocked and not locked to any particular carrier.
5. Ensure the battery of the phone is charged more than 80 per cent.
6. The Android 4.2.2 XXDMG6 Jelly Bean firmware is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100. Applying this to any incorrect variant might brick the device. Verify the model number of the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 by navigating to Settings >> About Phone.
File Required
1. Android 4.2.2 XXDMG6 Jelly Bean Firmware (Mirror) for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100
2. Odin 3.07
Steps to Update Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3100 with Android 4.2.2 XXDMG6 Jelly Bean Firmware
Step 1: Extract Firmware zip file that you downloaded already from above link using winrar/7zip/winzip or any other extracting tool, you will get a .tar.md5 file and some other files.
Step 2: Extract Odin zip file and you will get Odin3 v3.07.exe along with few other files.
Step 3: Power off your phone.
Step 4: Boot the device into Download Mode by pressing and holding Volume Down and Power buttons together until a construction Android robot icon with a warning triangle appears on screen. Now press the Volume Up button to enter Download Mode.
Step 5: Run Odin on the computer as an Administrator.
Step 6: Connect the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 to the computer using USB cable while it is in the Download Mode. Wait until Odin detects the device. When the device is connected successfully, the ID: COM box will turn blue with the COM port number. Additionally, the successful connected will be indicated by a message saying Added.
Note: If the Added message does not appear, then try re-install USB drivers or changing the port on the computer.
Step 7: Choose the following files in Odin from extracted P3100XXDMG6 firmware folder by using respective checkboxes:
Select the PDA checkbox, and choose the file named .tar or .md5.
Click the Phone checkbox, and choose the file with 'modem' in its name (ignore if there is no such file)
Click the CSC checkbox, and select the file with 'csc' in its name (ignore if such file is missing)
Choose the PIT checkbox, and choose the .pit file. Use only the file obtained during extracting in step 1 above, otherwise ignore it.
Step 8: In Odin, enable Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes. Also, ensure the Re-Partition checkbox is chosen only if a .pit file was chosen in the previous step.
Step 9: Verify everything suggested in Step 7 and Step 8 is done correctly. Then hit the START button to begin the installation process.
Step 10: Once the installation process is completed, your phone will restart and soon you will see a PASS message with green background in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin. You can now unplug the USB cable to disconnect your device from computer.
The tab was very slow after rebooting with JB but after an hour it worked perfectly and fast. but in the next day it start to restart on it's own endlessly for about 2 hour than stopped restarting and work fine. But now every time I use the tab for no matter what I'm using it for it's begin the restarting loop for an hour at least.
The tab isn't rooted.
What I should do know to stop the restarting loop?

where did you get it the firmware?
what jb version is, 4.1.1 / 4.2.2 / 4.3 ?
my suggests is you have to download firmware from the official samsung sites, if you wanna use the stock rom, then install like you have did it
but if you wanna use the custom rom, you can root the tab first, than install the custom rom, which is included more features, more speed,

did ur problem solved???? i too facing similar issue after upgrading the software.. mine too restarting often. cudn do cache partition... any solutions u got?

I think I read somewhere that if you are installing JB rom, your bootloader should also be for JB. I believe one has to use ODIN and use the PDA option to update bootloader. Do you remember doing any of that?

I used ODIN to update to official samsung JB for my device but I didn't update the bootloader using PDA option.

I did a downgrade to JB 4.1.2 but the tab stuck at samsung animation boot screen but I did manged to enter recovery mode and do a wipe cache partition and restart to know if it gone boot but it did stuck at samsung animation screen than I used odin to but it back to 4.2.2 and it worked fine with no restart for the first 24 hour but it did restart once while I'm using it in the half of the second day and two while I'm recharging it at the end of second day.
And here we are at the third day with no restart for about 15 hour since the last restart.
I hope it's the end for this problem.

Hi guys that xda and you my fellow
Honestly never update when you have a low battery as I did. It causes small booting issues.
Also using Odin I ensured that the firmware updated and then it restarted twice. This happened since I was low on juice.
Later it kind of hung when I restarted. Was a bit upset when it did.
So charged the Phablet p3100.hard and volume up and main key performed a hard reset to the boot. Wiped cache and restarted.
Day 3 since then. Updates are perfect and smooth as ever.
Most of all looks great to onto 4.2.2..looking to see what's cooking in the kitchen and much more even BBM which I had to install from an earlier thread now was accepted from the playstore.
What else.. I'm reading and will keep you posted incase of any failure

ROOT Samsung galaxy s4 canadian variants running stock/custom rom on 4.2/4.3

I created this thread just because i feel i should hare my knowledge and this is the best way to do it. i am new soo please bare with me
Ever since the 4.3 update for galaxy s4 i9505 came out, i was soo eager to get that on my samsung galaxy s4 shg-i337m which is a canadian variant. I am not the type of guy to run stock roms. i am currently using Foxhound 3.1 diamond dog (very impressive if i say so myself). when i installed it i lost root. i did have to run around to get the method to actually root it once again. i thought i would save peoples time by putting it where it belongs.
Everything below was not created by me. Original post by VINOD YALBURGI from International Business Times (ibtimes.co.uk)
but the download files are easily obtainable (google is a mans best friend)
Downloads Required

Yes, I do need this too!

not so easy as OP posted
once u have root and knox tripped, you cannot flash a firmware older than what u are currently running, the odin gives error while writing to nand.
so if u rooted on 4.4.2, u can only flash that, not 4.3.
FYI even if one is not rooted, u cannot downgrade
