Galaxy Note 10.1 - GT-N8013 - Newbie

Hi folks, I hope I am in the correct forum ?
Well i am a experienced Moto X user (rooted, boot-loader un blocked, etc.) and never bought a Tablet, but a friend brought me a new Note 10.1 to Argentine and i gladly bought it. So here are some questions.
1. I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 only Wifi, not the 2014 edition?
2. Second my OS is 4.12, is there any official KitKat 4.4.2 available? At least i do not get a OS update when i check.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?
One more.
When trying to launch Google+ i get the message that the software of my device is not actualized. Google+ closes and send me to the configuration to check OTA, but there is no.
Thanks and be patient as i am new to Samsung and tablets.

1. Yes
2. Kitkat is available in a some of countries, you will get update soon. But I recommend you to install official rom via odin, not from kies or system update
4. Yes, if you want to customise UI or delete ads. I think you know what root is it.
Sorry for my English

So is there a place where KitKat is awailable for download or hasn´t it be published yet? I have the 8013 (US Version),
Any clew why Google+ is not running on my 4.1.2?

If it's a GT-N8013, it's not a 2014 but a 2012 edition.

I don't know about each device/country but generally yes there is an official update available. If your tablet doesn't update automatically, the KitKat stock Roms are even linked somewhere in the Note 10.1 forum. sammobile.com also has them. You will probably need to use Odin to flash.
3. If "no" to Nr. 2 any recommended Roms?

I'd recommend to check out gnabo.
4. Rooting makes sense on a Tablet?

Sure. No difference to a phone. It's more about Samsung Note devices. Rooting makes about as much sense as anywhere else but custom roms only make limited sense since most roms can't include the s-pen stuff. BTW google KNOX if you like your warranty.

I don't know about 8013, but for 8000 is publishing now on over the world. I hope 8013 will have an update soon.
You can delete G+ and download it again. Maybe error will disappear. Stock apps is so stupid.

Thanks,
yes I saw the updates for N8000 all over the place. I hope also that N8013 will get those soon. I saw that some people flashed successful the 8000 UK update on an 8013. Maybe an alternative if 8013 won't get an update to 4.4.x. Any info regarding that?
Ok,so some more questions.
1. What is the recommended way to root the device with 4.1.2?
2. For flashing Roms Odin Pro for Android? I like flashing Roms from inside the device instead via PC, so I would buy Odin Pro.
3. TWRP Recovery is working fine with the device? I would love to use it as I also have it on my Moto X.
Ok, that's all for now, and thanks for helping.

Clarification on what you have and options
To clearify what you have.
you have the us version of the 2012 wifi tablet same as n8010. The 8010 roms with Boot-loader removed will Run on your device. Your play store issue can prob be solved by going into settings and location. fix to your location But i am unsure exactly. or do a Factory reset by going to
settings backup and restore. i think is where its at.
This Device Same as i have has been left behind by Samsung. it has not been upgraded above the version you have. Samsung WILL NOT UPGRADE IT OR they would have by now.
Two best options in my Opinion.
To upgrade and Stay totally stock You can use his Rom. Or Download the Rom for n8010 for your country from Sammobile and follow instructions on the like below to remove boot-loader.

Its a samsung touchwiz rom. So you only loose the Apps he removed from the rom. But you can put them back in the link on second post on his thread. I Been using the rom for over a month. I get a bit less battery life But still does Great for a tablet i have been using everyday for two years.
I MUST HAVE Fully working s-pen snote and i use Office suite 8. I use my tablet for onside Estimates and Billing. as well as Contracts . Get the Customers hooked before they have a chance to think twice.. Hehe . but seriously It works good for me.

Ok,
so as i have a long weekend here in Argentine , Monday is holiday - lucky me - I will root my device, flash a Recovery and flash Gnabo
Last question for now..jajaja
What is the suggested root method and Custom recovery for the device (stock 4.1.2) , to flash the Rom later?

Here is probably the easiest one. But there is a link in the gnobo rom thread on what he recommends.

Thanks, will search that thread.

[Q] Note Edge SM-N915G

Does anyone know where i can find ANY custom roms for the SM-915G? Ever since I've brought the Note Edge, I feel like it needs alot of enhancements as I absolutely love using custom roms.

My advice is keep wait for more developers . Same here "G"

Same boat as you both , 915G waiting for some good custom rom developers to release their amazing roms

Me too. 915G stock firmware + root + CWM from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993. Now can not pair with my Moto 360 anymore as bluetooth problem. SuperSU takes very slow to response. Installing any softwares on Play Store or apk files are the same, it took 5-10 minutes to complete installed. Boring... Waiting to a custom rom from developer to save me. Now, it is a nightmare...

Yupp didnt see the firmswares section when i first check, its alive again... now wheres the source

Hello. I bought a Samsung N915G from Saudi Arabia and has not in setting European languages (German, Roamania ...). Please give me details how to proceed to install another version from European soft (N915FY) on my phone. Thank you in advance.

As we have no Rom's to flash, I decided to try and flash the most recent no carrier firmware from SamMobile. (N915GXXU1ANK4)
I was on the Original Vodafone firmware and I have to say the non-bloat version is much snappier. I needed to factory reset and set everything up again. However now I feel like the phone is performing more like it should with theses specifications.

[Q] Questions with Flashing, Please help!

Hi guys I currently have a Z3 D6653 with firmware of 23.1.A.0.726 Taiwan (all original, no history of flashing)
I am so disappointed with the update cause I don't have a CLOSE ALL button and MESSAGING crashes whenever I'm on ULTRA STAMINA mode.
I want to flash my phone back to kitkat and re-update it again HOPING that I'll be able to get those 2 functions working.
Please take note that I did a factory reset after and nothing happened
So upon researching I came across XperiFirm. I found out that it has all the latest firmware. I'm planning to install Customized PH D6653 23.1.A.0.726.
Now here are my questions before I do so:
1. Is it better if I downgrade/flash my phone to kitkat first then just do a system upgrade?
2. If I choose to upgrade the latest LOLLIPOP firmware from XperiFirm, what are the chances that I'll be getting the 2 functions I want? or Is it a good idea to do so?
I'm not sure if my questions have already been asked/answered before.
It would great if you could direct me to an existing thread with such issues.
I'm a noob so please be patient! Haha
Thanks in advance for the help

uppppp please

Rooting

Hi everyone!
I recently got my hands on a s8+ (G955f) and i'm trying to root it buy i'm really lost.
I did try to root it one time, twrp+no verity+magisk while on Oreo, then i installed magisk manager and both things seemed ok (at least to my knowledge) but the second i take my eyes off the phone, "only official released binaries...".
After that i installed Pie stock firmware since i couldn't use Oreo.
I'd like to try again but theres a lot of info (new and out of date) and i don't even know whats good and what isn't.
TL;DR: Want to root the phone but i don't know what to do, can someone kindly point me out on what to do/share me a link?
Thank you.

Is it Possible

Hello All, I know I'm late to the party but I just grabbed a Tab Pro 12.2 VZW version(SM-P905V). I am desperately trying to root to eventually push Linageos. I searched here and there but no luck.

Thank you for responding. Sorry it took so long for me to do so. I had all but given up with the possibility of rooting the device and sent it back. But I ultimately do want one. With your information I now know which unit to look for. Thank you once again, much appreciated.

Imo best would be a P905 without "V".
Effortless rooting and flashing.
The qouted post only refers to V models.
