Hey Fibercoax i'm from Belgium running the Luxembourg firmware from april the first one the phone had... and i wanted to update to the I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_NEE.zip ( Nordic ) ....did that update change anything for u? ....Maybe it resolves the lag and or other stuff?

The .zip file probably wasn't a flashable zip file. Check if it has a .tar file inside it and just flash that using Odin.

Univer_Sam , the only thing you realy notice that the camera firmware is being updated when you start the cam.
For the rest the firmware feel pretty same like the original ones (maybey little smoother though) that was from the begin on it "XXUAMDM2"

Try installing the jb firmware from here, kies never works for me
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You sure its stuck? Its seems to take forever, and does halt for a considerable period halfway, but I should complete
Forget about KIES.
Go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 (link is for the International version), choose ANY ROM you want, or the ROM for your country/operator, and flash it using Odin3.
KIES is evil and I don't know why people insist on using that P.O.S.
But will i have any problems in future if i want to upgrade if i flash it using odin?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I updated yesterday using Kies. Make sure your battery is well charged (70% or more) and let it run. It looked like mine had stopped after downloading the components. After 20 minutes of looking like nothing was happening, the firmware proper started to download.
With all the downloads then flash, it probably took just under 2 hours (not the 5-30 minutes that Kies claims).
Most likely the download servers are just busy.
previously was root with stock rom...(unroot usin those root keeper) and proceed to update JB.
Looks good but root is lost.

4.1.2 Jellybean seeding to Note2 now

I read on the internet that the Jellybean 4.1.2 update has started seeding. If you have already got the update please share your feedbacks and reviews about the new update. I havent got the update yet. So, it seems that the update hasnt started seeding in India.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
It has been seeding to Polish devices at the moment.
I'm on a German Unlocked DBT device and still nothing as of 15 minutes ago when I checked . haha.
it was only released in Poland.. all other countries and their carriers are on pending status.
And remember if you have a carrier branded device then you could be waiting even longer.
That's not true . 4.1.2 released in Poland is carrier branded.

Directions for how to flash 8010 firmware onto the 8013, then get JB over the air?

Could I please get directions for how to flash 8010 firmware onto my 8013?
I hope that by doing this, I'll be able to update to Jellybean over the air. Is this possible and is it a good route to getting JB on the 8013

You can't. You have a U.S. CSC and the update is for the German CSC "DBT." So with a German ROM on a U.S. CSC you won't receive any updates (ever) via OTA or Kies. There are instructions for both rooted and stock Wi-Fi Note's in the big thread that explain how to load the German base ROM and and then apply the update for people with non-German CSC's. If you decide to install the German ROM you can replace it with the U.S. version when it finally comes out and then you'll start to receive updates again normally.

You need to have a german base rom to do the update Anually but you have n8013 which has different software and the jellybean firmware isn't yet avaliable on samfirmware, so the only way to get it is by flashing the ics then change csc and then get the ota to jellybean
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Alright I just followed your PM directions to change the firmware and switch to German ROM. It reset my device, as you said. When I check my device settings --> About Device, it now says "8010". When I go to software update though...it says "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later." Arrggghhhhhhh!!!!
I connected the device to my computer and open Kies, but also no update.

Have you changed the csc to dbt? Also which one did you download the august or September rom, it happened for me once and i changed the csc to dbt and have done full factory reset from recovery and ota worked after that

I got the September ROM: "KIES_HOME_N8010XXALI3_N8010OXAALI3_1081475_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5"
I also used the suggested program to change the csc to "DBT"

There's no reason to change the CSC. You can just flash the German (DBT) ROM and update and leave your original CSC as-is. Changing the CSC wipes the device and you'll have to change it back if your device ever needs repair. People are better off keeping their original CSC, using the German ROM until JB for their region comes out, and then flashing to it and replacing the German ROM. And none of what I described requires the device be wiped. I don't understand the sudden fascination with changing the CSC. The Note's no different than any other Samsung device.
BTW, how to check cdc on this tablet?
Barry, just saw this post from you : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35431458&postcount=179

yes, the ones I have tried work quite well.
Although, I cannot get gmail, youtube, maps to work beacuse I cant figure out how to completely uninstall them before reinstalling the modded apks
Is there any downside to doing this while waiting (not so) patiently for the official 8013 release from Samsung?

I was very worried about this as well, afraid of ruining an already great device. I have been playing with my tablet all night and so far have not seen any downside. Tablet is much smoother and has really nice new multiwindow functionality, apps, etc

Which region of Leaked 4.2.2? U can backup game data from helium app. This app is useful to backup data without root. So I don't have idea about 4.2.2 official.. May be its stable.. If u r using 4.2.2 Russian firmware so u cannot update Indian firmware through ota.. I think its better to flash via odin.. As I don't know about running tracker on triangle away..
