It's here for phones with the XEU CSC. If you're on a Carphonewarehouse (CPW) CSC I guess there's no update for you yet.

On my 2.3.6 LA6 ROM I've got JKay's mod, everything's super stable and there are no issues with Recovery turning the phone into a brick. Does it really make sense to upgrade just now?

Well I took the plunge. First I tried Criskelo's ICS V5.1, but I didn't like the theme and very quickly found things that didn't work properly, so then I tried stock LQ2, using Mobile Odin Pro to keep root and the CF-Root V5.6 kernel.
It's early days, but so far I'm happy. Getting set up was a pain - it was only after 2 attempts that I discovered that Bookmark Sort & Backup isn't ICS compatible and was screwing up my Browser. I therefore had to do 2 complete wipes using CF-Root v5.6. This claims to have (probably) fixed the superbrick bug, and it certainly worked fine for me - whew!
I'm missing all the toggles of Jkay because there isn't a version of the 15 toggle mod for stock LQ2, but hopefully that'll come soon and SwipePad replaces the quick launcher panel nicely.
So no regrets yet, but there's still the odd lag here and there, and I can't say it's a significantly better experience. Also I can't sketch to save myself, so the new S-Pen applications aren't important to me. Still, got to move with the times! There's still nothing to replace my wonderful Note.
UK ICS Build (Carphone Warehouse) for Note is super stable
DQ of the day?
Downloaded & installed N7000XEULP4 via this site.
I intend to root again as mobile odin failed to inject root - yes I followed the good Dr's direction.
I used PC Odin, reset to factory in stock recovery (post flash) after 15min wait at the Samsung logo (very tentatively re-set due to massive information about deleting killing partitions, mmc sections etc & the unit is now one stock ics 4.0.3
So after I have rooted following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360.
I wish to re-load a previous ics (paranoid android) am I likely to hit the 'brick-wall')?
Need to ask I killed one note already :mad,

It is non wipe version, just flashed with Mobile Odin, my data still intact. My first impression, very smooth rom version..
Changes :
1.The word "Swipe screen to unlock" appear on lockscreen
2. New Phone Icon
3. Torch widget
4. Wake up significant faster than prev firmware
5. One hand operation option under keyboard
6. Levels of brightness control for browser
Nice!!!Thanks for sharing!!!
Where it released???
For Germany Debitel.
Is this an OTA update which will hit WW? Is it english, not sure if that's a silly question just don't want to download and flash something that is useless!
Need more information really, is it any different? What has changed?
Cheers Merry Christmas!

Have flashed it and it had no bloatware at all. Just a standard Samsung firmware. And it does not lock your phone. I am in Sweden and using it with Three without any problems. But it has the same market problems as KL3 that some local apps might not be available in the market.

I agree...i also got kl3 working with market....but only with step of kka before and not with full wipe...so i will try....but i will earliest find time for it in a few days...and i am sure someeone else will do a deodexed version before
the prob for me to solve the market issues is that i never had it....so i always need testers

Just updated my DBT Note via Kies (in the US). Thanks.
Updated in US via Kies, no problems. I don't see that anything major changed. Anybody see something?
In Aus, downloading the latest Kies... then the Phone update should show.. as I too have a DBT German model.
Took two tries...failed 1st one, nice lump in throat!
Passed 2nd time. MAYBE someone can get this one to root easily
anyone know what it does?

Update done and seems a bit snappier, but that could be confirmation bias
Updated from la4 via mobile odin. All went fine. Kept root as expected. Snappy

Who are having device rooted n wants to keep Root intact, shouldn't update it using KIES/OTA, you will lose Root. N again have to downgrade to get Root access.

heh, I'm not really fussed.
I will only need root when I decide ICS is stable enough to use and then I'll downgrade first and apply root if I have to.
BTW I have bough Mobile Odin Pro. I just haven't used it since I lost root on my last update.
I don't really miss root anyway...
new update via KIES
OK got the new update via kies, OTA didnt work for me..
live in finland and had the stock german la4 (dbt) installed.
Now on LB1
no major changes in this version in my opinion..
got somekind of freeapp website preinstalled.. useless
maybe a little faster, the gallery for sure is loading alot faster for me
also contact list scrolling seems faster and doesnt lag
benchmark showed a average of 4000 same as on LA4
browser is also faster and doesnt lag on pages as it has done on la4
Is it available for download and update via computer based odin as i dont wanna root am on xeu unlocked uk version white note and updated to la4 via kies as samsung cant be bothered pushing out to uk. ...

Yeah, kinda expected. Hoping that the official Indian version of ICS releases soon.
Strangely No OTA notification and when i check manually in settings still shows no update. Currently updating from KIES but it deadly slow.
I am willing to wait for ICS till the samsung owns up the EMMC bug and fix it.

Considering the large number of S4's in India, I guess we will have to wait patiently if we want it through OTA.

Hi Bala,
I installed Russian firmware yesterday,.... some times i am getting Roaming symbol now i am plan to install India version.... Do i need to install India modem separately to avoid roaming symbol..?
Updated to 4.3. Phone seems really snappy, and text looks good and sharp. Camera opens fast.
The only problem that I have (and had in 4.2.2) is that when I take photos in HDR mode, phone shuts down when it shows "Processing".
I thought update will solve this problem but damn. Anyone else having same problem? please report.
I'm in Australia, and i'm pretty sure we're the last lot of Note 3 owners to get the 4.4.2 update.
Is there an OTA that we can use to update to 4.4.2?
Currently on 4.3 still MJ7.

You could flash any of the 4.4.2 firmwares available via Odin. Depends how you feel about tripping the Knox counter.
I'm in Australia as well and after my s3 I knew we would be one of the last to get any updates so I just went straight to 4.4.2 via odin.

If he allways install a new oficial version from odin it will never trip Knox counter, i´ve done it myself, i´m using a version from the Netherlands. it will change your csc though...
Also from Aus here. Gave up waiting officially as of yesterday and installed the UK (BTU CSC) firmware via ODIN with no issues at all. I didn't need to wipe my data, it all just worked as though it was a standard upgrade.
Next time I will just import one. Especially with trigger-happy KNOX I couldn't be bothered worrying about whether my Aus warranty is intact (I pad $300 "Aus tax" to buy it local vs import - not worth it). I doubt I tripped my Knox flag as it's an official unmodified first party firmware from Samsung that I installed..

So it didn't wipe apps or anything? Did it install any other boot logo? Or other provider bloatware? Or is it a plain stock Samsung UK firmware? Can you roll it back later?
Just trying to work out if its 100% worth it or if I should wait. I am getting antsy though.

Wait for the official update, or flash another firmware with Odin.

Well - that was less than helpful.
I would actually like answers to my questions directed to zetsurin.
Also, my life WOULD get better in ways you probably couldn't fathom.
You know nothing about me, so nyerr.

Agreed. I'm also waiting on this update and getting tired of waiting for an official OTA..
There are a number of features in 4.4.x I'm waiting to try out

Which provider are you?
So it didn't wipe apps or anything? Did it install any other boot logo? Or other provider bloatware? Or is it a plain stock Samsung UK firmware? Can you roll it back later?
Just trying to work out if its 100% worth it or if I should wait. I am getting antsy though.

When flashing other regions firmware, sometimes it comes with the additional bloatware from the region. It's normal.
You can just disable the bloatware from apps manager.
If u tired waiting and wanna try kk, just give it a shot.
Once ur region comes with kk, u can always flash back from odin.

I'm on Optus, but pre-paid. I bought an unbranded phone. Do you have a carrier branded model?

From what I remember I don't really notice a difference in boot logo. But then again, I've always had the unbranded XSA version. If you have a branded version, it will likely revert your boot logo to an unbranded version which may/may not be desirable to you.
