The official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware update has just hit Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Wi-Fi GT-N8010. The firmware, however, is currently available for the users in Germany only and the OTA file consists of 300 MB. The update will be rolled to other countries very soon. The 4.1.1 Jelly Bean firmware update will bring with a number of new features as faster and smoother UI (thanks to the Project Butter), enhanced TouchWiz, enriched Notification Panel and much more.
The new firmware version N8010XXBLK9 is an unbranded one and therefore it can be flashed on any carrier-free international version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi. If you happen to be one from any of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, and United Kingdom. You can install the update even if you are one from any other country and own an International version of the device. You can download the firmware file and flash it manually on your Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi.

i downloaded everything you stated above . when i enter the recovery mode there is no ‘the download mode” please help me urgently
Recovery and download modes are different things. Volume Down+ Power button takes to Download Mode. And Volume Up+Power boots device into recovery mode. To install a firmware, you need to enter Download Mode, not Recovery mode.
could you please give the Jelly bean update of Sri Lanka
It’s not available for Sri Lanka yet.
DROIDVIEWS “Hmm. It does not matter in that case too. With the German firmware installed, you will still be able to get the future updates via Kies and OTA (of course, the German). So don’t worry about that. :)”
I am one who had the N8013 and successfully went to the N8010 4.1.1 Now that the 4.1.2 is out how do I get it? Is there a way to go back to the N8013 and get the over the air update or to update the N8010 4.1.2? My device now says that because I have modified the device software updates are not available.. Thanks!
Try changing CSC: http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
You can also use the Triangle Away app to reclaim the warranty and OTA.
this works, really it does.. i had an issue with the camera.. it didnt work at all till i tried it again.
Now im rocking android 4.1.1 on ma galaxy note 10.1
successfully completed the updated, however i lost my multi screen function after this?? Why would that happen?
Many gains and some loss. This happens in the ROM update game. Cheers!
I’ m getting an error when flashing the update.zip ..( I already did the firmware update with ODIN ) .. The error says ..
failed to verify whole-file signature !!
build number : IMM76D N8010 XXALI3
no probs…i changed my CSC and got da OTA update 😀 😀
Hello!
I have a question.If i have a romanian n8010 device, should i update my device to the german ICS first ? Or can I use the “short way” ? 10x
You must install the German ICS version before installing the update.zip.
or
You can change the CSC of your device to DBT and then you can directly flash the update.zip

thanks
Mergi pe varianta lunga , functioneaza si nu e greu deloc . Cu schimbarea CSC nu merge , sau cel putin eu nu am reusit .
Thx for this great tutorial , it works great .
Multumesc! Dupa ce termin update-ul la JB, pierd toate datele existente pe memoria interna?
Theoretically, it should not, but one should always backup important data stored on internal memory.
Hello guys just wanna say im brand new with using odin and all this stuff but i done step by step and big success.I get my note 10.1 from tesco in uk.

Big Big Thank You Guys
🙂
Hi which app did you use? :o)
See here: http://droidviews.com/2012/how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/
Tried it with the NL version, build number, IMM76D.N8010XWALI4 – no go with the German Update, complains: … verifing update package, assert failed: file_getprop(“/system/build.prop”, “ro.build.fingerprint”) == “samsung/p4notewifixx/p4notewifiw:4.0.4/IMM76D/N8010/XXALI3:user/release-keys” || “samsung/p4notewifixx/p4notewifiw:4.1.1/JRO03C/N8010XXBLK9/release-keys”
so I am guessing NL is XWALI4 where XXALI3 is needed.
You will have to take your device to the German ICS version XXALI3 first. Only then will the update.zip recognize it and you will be able to flash it.
i think at some points you start talking about the tab not the note 10.1?
Ah, I might be. It happens when you do several things at a time. Thanks anyway!
Sorry should have said 8010 UK version
I get the same error message as Fabien and the error is about “package.zip” not “update.zip”. I have checked the MD5 sum and that verifies so it’s not a faulty download as far as I can tell.
Hi David,
Did you try flashing the Update.zip after upgrading to the German ICS firmware? At least five guys in my circle 3 of which happen to be from UK, US and Canada whos have installed successfully.
No, not yet, I wanted to take the minimalist approach first. As the Update.zip has all the main European countries built into it I was interested what needed to be changed to make it into a UK update rather than a German one.
OK, now done the 2nd option and that worked. I also used CSC Select app afterwards to reset back to BTU!
You can overwrite the German firmware with UK by flashing the official firmware when it is available.
After the CSC reset Kies tells me I am on the UK CSC so no need to ovewrwite 🙂
Nice!
Will this harm my device if it is model gt-8013?
Also, will there be any difference between this and the US release?
Is there a new link somewhere? Both the previous download links no-longer work.
Hi Chris, I have just checked both the links, I mean the Update.zip and N8010XXALI3_N8010OXAALI3_DBT.zip, both are working.
Yes it must have been just a temporary glitch.
Will this update install directly onto a UK Galaxy Note 10.1 or will I have to put ICS on first?
Also will installing the german update mean that I will be forever constrained into downloading and installing updates rather than getting them over the air?
The reason I ask about future updates is that I will be giving this tablet as a present to someone, and I won’t be there to perform any future updates if needed.
Hmm. It does not matter in that case too. With the German firmware installed, you will still be able to get the future updates via Kies and OTA (of course, the German). So don’t worry about that. 🙂
Yes, since the update.zip is for German versions, it might not recognize your device to be eligible. Install the German ICS then flash the update.zip.
In fact, in recent days the Germand and Polish have been the first to receive the latest updates from Samsung. But if you wish to install Android 4.1.2 for UK, you can later install the UK version when it is available (in a few weeks, I hope) and then you can receive updates via Kies.
doesn’t work for me : french n8010
error in package.zip
The error in zip package points to a corrupt zip that has not been downloaded properly. Re-download the zip and try again. There is no reason for the firmware not to install. Update your device with the German ICS firmware first and then upgrade to JB using Recovery as directed. It has been tested.
Will this also work for the Canadian 8010 WiFi?
Yes, it will.
Worked great! Thanks!
Enjoy JB, Jay! 🙂
