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.

Hey Guys,
yesterday I needed to unbrick my device. I took the uploaded stock from this thread . It's an US stock 4.2.2 firmware but I got a huge update via Kies after flashing. And now guess! Yeah I'm on absolutely official KitKat 4.4.2 . I'm from germany and tested one another right before matching to my location, just to check but it's not available here (yet).
Yeah Its out for a while
@NeoPreacher & @LegendSmoker
It is true KK is an old story. But still I find interesting what NeoPreacher is saying.
One he may be telling others that even when you could be in a region without an update yet that if you install a US/Canada version you can get the Kies upgrade. Now this is not that important to me.
But I am understanding that when he said "I needed to unbrick my device" that he has some sort of a MOD Rom! Is this true? So then I find interesting that by uploading the file he mention he got Kies to upgrade him. I was in the confusion that once you mod your firmware you could not get OTA nor Kies to upgrade you. So @neopreache could you confirmed that you had tested any of the posted Roms here or had Custom Recovery or Roorted your device previous of recovering with kies? Thanks
Yes I tested some other stuff posted in dev section. But I did something very wrong so I needed Odin to unbrick.I own my tab just for a few days, so it was more a playing around than knowing what to do.I often read about an unstable 4.2.2 stock, so I thought it might be interesting for people in regions out of north America to see that there is another possibility to stay on official stock and get an update for their machines.
Hey guys i have bought n8013 last week and google+ and talk was installed on it but when i updated them via playstore, they do not work anymore because when i open them they tell me to update my system even though when i check for updates it shows i have the latest version.
Please help guys its been a week im trying to solve this problem.
Thank you
You'll either have to put a custom rom or roll back versions. Check out gapps early on g+ (use web browser) for previous versions. The n8013 will not get official kitkat (not confirmed but Samsung has proven it by ignoring us for months)

You're running Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916? This is the latest version in the play store. I am running N8013 stock rooted and I got this after I updated to the latest google plus:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnWolf_PDX/posts/dAsRmkuPT2c?cfem=1
Do you have a link to the Android Central leaked Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916 apk that works on 4.1.2? I looked and couldn't find one that worked.
Also, the latest version of hangouts(not sure of the version, I don't have my tablet with me at the moment) just crashes constantly when I open it up.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset...

I Think I Installed this then installed the latest google plus from play store. This Is the Hangout Dialer app. But if not mistaken its been updated since release.. Sorry im Vague .
I have a similar problem on the N8010 (Belgium).
Hangouts crashes and Google+ asks for an update. Even worse, some Samsung apps (video editor, store) have been pushed last week from samsung themselves having the same problem.
The root cause is that these are applications pushed for android 4.4 (a galaxy s2 gets the same new apps, but compiled/modified for Android 4.1).
In my case, the 4.4 update for the note is pushed to all countries around me (Netherlands, Germany, France, UK,...) but not Belgium yet. Somehow there is a mismatch between the region the play store (and samsung store) thinks should be on kitkat compared to the real rollout.
NOT AT&T OFFICIAL FIRMWARE
The ROM in question is a 5.0.1 Android build and according to the original source should be good for GT-I9500/9502/9508/9508v versions. The nice folks over at XDA have been playing around with the new software for a few hours now and it appears to be a legitimate official Samsung firmware as opposed to the recent Aurora ports of the leaked Note 3 software.
A few things need to be noted about the Galaxy S4 ROM, though. First of all it has a Chinese region, so even though English is available as a system language, along with two variants of Chinese, some system messages will remain regionalized and so will some functions, like the weather widget.
A stock English keyboard is also missing, but that is easily fixable. Other than that the build seems to be doing well in terms of functionality. NFC, sbeam, GPS, Bluetooth, 3G DATA, Wi-Fi, all sensors for motion and light, hotspot function, Multiwindow all seem to be in working order, as reported by various early adopters.
If you are feeling adventurous and decide to check out the leaked Lollipop software remember to back everything up, as update will almost definitely wipe your internal storage. And if you are a little bit skeptical and wish to wait for the official OTA to start seeding, it shouldn't be long now, as the ROM seems to be just about ready for public consumption.
~~~ FROM THE MODERATOR ~~~ This is not as easy as some may Think...... Caution and an advanced understanding of your phone is recommended before flashing anything "Cutting Edge" releases as this is ....... Caveat ..... Remember you, and only YOU, are responsible for what you do to your phone...no one else.......... ~~~ oka1

This isn't as easy as it sounds... for several reasons.
I'm not going to really go into the details but basically if your not a firmware with LOKI support you won't getting to run a 5.0 ROM on the S4 for the time being. Updates to Safestrap, among other things need to be made, and with the changes in Lollipop it remains to be seen if it will work. Not to mention the build is Chinese, would be better of waiting for the official update for the U.S, Canada, or the U.K
We'll see what happens though ~

It appears to be a ROM that you flash through ODIN. Would Safestrap and LOKI even matter at that point?

Even so, flashing it to your device will likely cause issues when trying to go back. If someone is brave enough to take the plunge go ahead and pull up terminal and check the aboot increment. Mind you, this isn't for our model and may brick your device.
We hopefully wait for lollipop for our beloved S4 it's matter of days already so we have to be patient

Its also for the Octacore variant I believe, NOT the i9505 which is similar to our i337 (minis it has unlocked bootloaders). So ATT Variants I HIGHLY suggest not trying to flash this

I337 is non compatible with this rom.. After install you reboot to recovery.. Appears there is now a i337 edition bootloader providing..
As this is not working for this model before someone damages their phone I am closing this thread
Please don't post firmwares as "Official" if they are not meant for the exact model phone
Thanks

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...

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

Hello, everyone!
Brief history:
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, 8", model SM-T330, which I basically use for work. Lately, the app I use the most has launched a new update which only works on android 6.0 versions and newer. Since the latest update available for my tablet is the android 5.1, I tried searching online for alternative ways to update it, so it can suit my needs (which is btw how I ended up finding this forum). However, I only seem to find the updated kernel (6.0 and 7.0) for the SM-T330NU. I have done some research on these models and it seems that the only difference between them is that the later was designed for the north american market, although all the specs are essentially the same.
Quick question:
Anyway, is there any possibility to update my tablet with the SM-T330NU kernel? Will it work or is it more likely I'll have my tablet bricked?
PS: I don't plan on buying a new device if there is a slight chance I can get it updated by any means necessary.
Thanks in advance!
You could think to flash a custom ROM. Which app is this? If it's an app of videocall, neither custom ROMs can help since blobs are of lollipop and can't support Android 6.0+ apps.
