your OP is OTA for Note 10.1 DDALI1.
But your thread subject is OTA for Tab 10.1.
Which one is the correct device, sir ?

I remember changing it. Not sure what happened, I have changed it again. It is for Note.

bug
Some problem occur when try to chose wallpaper.
And there are no pen options in settings .
I know no one asked for this but just in case if some developer is looking for this.

nice ! if someone could extract RIL+modem as a cwm zip or odin flasheable its should be nice to try and replace the old LD3 modem running on my neat 4.3 LSD :laugh:

I've uploaded a faster download link for this (Canada) JB update here:
http://d-h.st/users/dsi

It also appears that ExynosAbuse can't root my phone anymore. Exploit fixed I guess!

I'm running neatrom 4.0 based off the jellybean leak and love it. Would it be a good idea to flash the modem from this rom since I'm on virgin mobile in ontario and if so how do you do it?

Flash LQ6 Modem is the best for us in Canada,better then MUGMA5:good:

Where you find that modem? I'm running a pretty old one... Don't remember which one as my mom uses the phone now and not me.
I wonder if we'll see ROMs based on this firmware... Man I miss my S2 now. So much more fun and stable than LG Optimus G, custom ROM wise.

Pulling the battery out with it on still results in a bootloop. Looks like that is not fixed.

SIM network unlock pin
just updated mine to JB via kies and now its asking for a SIM network unlock PIN... I can dismiss it and access the menu and homescreen and all but I cannot make or receive any calls. There are two other people who seem have the same problem
Please help!

As mentioned in a few threads, download GalaxSim Unlock from the Play Store. This will fix your problem.

Official Firmwares for the Samsung Galaxy Grand DUOS GT-I9082L (Latin Variant)
These are NOT all the firmwares; here will mainly be base, unbloated, unbranded, universal ROMS.
LATEST BUILD
BUILD: 2212586
FIRMWARE: I9082LUBUBMK2
OS VERSION: 4.2.2
REGION: TTT - Trinidad & Tobago
Carrier: Unbranded
Notes:
- UNBRANDED/UNBLOATED!
- New "Galaxy GranD" Splash Screen
- Brighter Display

- Better/More Readible Text Layouts: Weather widget, Settings/Menus, Google Search bar
- Minimum UI & Sound changes (Notification/Pop ups, Keyboard sound, Gallery Swipe sound, etc.)
- Homescreen Lag Fixed

- GPU driver upgrade: Images now are displayed with higher resolution.
Samsung seems to have done some upgrades to the GPU, for in the past I'd load a High Resolution Wallpaper and it would pixelate, now, it looks great, the same goes with the lockscreen light effect, a bit smaller effect, buta noticeable higher resolution. Overall... this factory firmware feels like its a custom ROM. Touchwiz feels light, the notification pane is silky smooth. Nice. So far, the best one yet.

*** I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS RESTORING TO THIS BUILD: I've always used Titanium to restore My Apps and Data, but this build, and for the first time, it completely lagged my device. So if you install this and want to restore, do not restore it's data.***
Install Update (1/10/2014): I figured out that by 'upgrading' from any of the previous build to this one, no such lag is present. A fresh install from a fully wiped phone has yielded several devices to lag, but after several tries as an "upgrade", no lag issues have presented.

And no problem with it, but with I9082LDCAMF1 I cound not find spanish language, so I've installed and app that turned my phone from english to spanish but no idea how to change the language in the keyboard cause there is not a spanish dictionary to use so I had to install the I9082LUBAMC2 cause this one comes with spanish language system and keyboard.
If you have any idea about how to change or add spanish dictionary to use it on the keyboard plz tell me how
Sry for my poor English.

Yes, this is the reason why in the forum we post the latest firmwares.
There are several ways but the most common is with ODIN (Samsung Firmware Update Utility).
Odin Thread:

Example Odin Flashing Guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46440034
Basic Walkthrough:
1. Download and Decompress the firmware
2. Download and Install Odin on your computer (if you dont have Kies, it would be wise to install it for it's driver, option B: download Samsung device drivers.)
3. Load Odin, select the PDA tab and find your firmware, it should be in ".tar" form
4. Boot device in 'Download Mode', (Press VOL- / Home / Power)
5. Connect USB Cable to device and PC, press VOL+ to continue
6. Once a YELLOW Prompt shows up with a COM port displayed, PRESS "START"
7. Let ODIN Flash the firmware until the YELLOW Prompt displays "PASS" in GREEN.
Read the Guide first, this is just a quick walkthrough.
Good luck,
Paul

Factory Firmwares have everything included (kernel too), so you dont need to flash anything else. If you choose to flash a third-party or modded kernel, then you follow the same steps.

any one updated via this rom

Yes , I updated using this ROM and it didn't delete anything , all my apps were intact. Before updating i unrooted my phone ( reset using triangle aways and then unroot from super su app , i don't know how much this affects this). Before all of that i replaced my recovery to stock recovery.

Is this the official update from Samsung? The final build of it as well? I read in a swedish newspaper the 4.3 update had started rolling out officially from Samsung. Any critical bugs in the update so far?

I can install this one on my swedish note2 then? Doesn't matter that there is no swedish language since i use the english one.

Hi. Can I flash n7100 4.3 rom to dual sim N7102? Thanks!

Thanks A Million
I cannot tell enough how much I appreciate these resummable links. I hate sammobile and others so much for their hotfile, etc links. Some of us are from countries where we cannot easily subscribe for such services and also have bad internet as well. So most of the time we are left to search high and low for resumable links. Once again, thanks a million.

thank you for the links.
Quick question ----> I've restored my Note 2 to full official (system status normal, stock rom, stock recovery, counter 0 etc)
If I flash this official firmware via odin, will it increase my counter and or status?
Thank you in advance

I uploaded the file to another dropbox account as thank you, the current dropbox link is down.

I don't understand why Samsung doesn't add Emoji support like they did on Note 3 and Galaxy S4 update.

[Q] After latest firmware update - Wifi will not turn on

Firstly some details....
Galaxy was rooted but was still stock ROM. The ONLY change I did was install Adaway - nothing else
Anyway, I used Kies v2.x today (25/11/13) to backup my phone - when I started it up it said there was a new firmware update. I did a backup & then like a idiot - I decided to accept it.....
... everything seemed to go OK... it installed, rebooted etc etc & when I checked all the apps still worked, home screen OK etc etc.
I then decided to do a bit of Browsing - so dragged down the notification bar & tapped the Wifi.... It didn't turn on.
It moves over to ON - then moves straight back to 'off'
Instead I get a silver shield pop up, & a 'Security notice' stating - 'your device's security has blocked an action that is not permitted. No further action is required'
Long tap on this brings up a [App info] box & tapping this shows 'Knox notification manager'
Tried googling this & I find it's part of Samsung 'security', so started trying to find how to fix/bypass/stop it from blocking me from turning on my Wifi
Some suggestions were ..Softreset,reset data/cache, pull battery - even hard reset... nothing worked (couldn't 'freeze' the app(s) as Titanium need to be brought for that feature)
Now I thought I'll just restore the backup I did for contacts etc, so I can at least use it as a phone & hope that Samsung DID **** up with the firmware & a new firmware will fix it
- but re-starting Keis & it tell me v2 is not compatible with my phone & I have to use V3, so I downloaded/Upgraded it & it sees the phone, but trying to restore the backup & it fails
I checked my 'rom' counter & that's is set to 0 & device status shows 'samsung' - however doing a 'update check' (from within phone) states my phone is 'modified' (I guess it's sees SuperSU or the modified host file)
I managed to restore my contacts using GPRS (but it cost me a package as I'm on PAYG), but why cant I get my Wifi to turn on ??
Without that I can't restore any apps (easily)... or update or do anything
Is it a cockup by Samsung with their firmware update ??
Is it this dam 'Knox' thing..??
Is it because of the 'altered Host' file from adaway ??
Is it because it was 'rooted' ??
I've seen posts about restoring the stock firmware, which directs me to Sam's webpage - but the only GT-i9505 I found there for a UK unlocked/unbranded phone is a GT-i9505 LTE (I guess I should use the BTU & not Branded ones) which I'm pretty sure isn't mine (I may be wrong) & apparently I have to sign up to download it anyway
Has anyone else had this problem ??
What can I do to fix it ??
Can anyone help ??
I've only had this phone for a couple of days & I hate to think it's been buggered up by Samsung Firmware Update

I'm not being funny but if you use the search feature in the Q&A section there are loads of threads to do with WiFi not working and multiple solutions. Its hit and miss which solutions work and which don't, so go through them and come back when they haven't worked.

And you think that I haven't used search ??
I have, but I've only tried the 'simple' things (soft/hard rest etc) since for a newbie like me many posts are very confusing
for example this one (although its for rooting) has a bit about
FYI: ODIN has problems with flashing latest FW's and if WiFi doesn't work you MUST flash ROM again or use matching WiFi-FIX (post #2) to make it work.

however looking at 2nd post & there's a link to WiFifix where there are many files, which I am unsure which one to use.
Kies 3 tell me I have PDA:MK8 / Phone:MH8 / CSC:MK5 (BTU) & there a MK8 AND a MH8 file there - so which one do I use ? (BTW, I updated the firmware originally using Keis so I don't think the WiFi fix is really relevant, but reflashing the ROM with Odin MAY be useful to know.. if only I know WHICH rom to use) I won't be able to use keis since v3 tells me that 'Your device current firmware is not supported to update via Kies'

which I cant download because I have no Wifi (& it costs a FORTUNE to do so using PAYG)

In second post there's quite a few United Kingdom BTU (I assume I need a BTU for an Unbranded Sim-free phone) with different version.. I I assume for the latest version it's the first one in the list
United Kingdom BTU (November 2013) (NO DOWNGRADE)
PDA: I9505XXUEMK8
CSC: I9505BTUEMK5
MODEM: I9505XXUEMK8
Version 4.3
but how do I find out if the Modem is correct ??
& since I have problems with the Wifi with the latest version - perhaps there's a problem with it in general,
can I downgrade back to 4.22 ?? I've not seen any mention if this is possible & once again - WHICH one do I use ? there like 3 or 4 different ones

You find it yourself, they're all over the place. SamMobile being one.

Download the APK file to your PC, plug your phone in, transfer to phone's memory, using a file browser/manager on your phone, install it?

I don't get what you mean. Correct for what?

There is a massive problem with the updates lately, Samsung have pulled almost all of the 4.3 updates in UK and US from what I've read.
I think you can install a 4.2.2 version but that won't get rid of KNOX, people are still trying to work out a way of getting rid of it.

Thanks for replying & yes I know that many things I've said do sort of confirm what I think may be the right ROMs etc..
But I would like to be ABSOLUTELY sure I use the right one. Many posts say you can seriously brick your phone using the wrong files
> I guess the modem files are somewhere in the forums on Sammobile then ??.. I never look that hard there
> In download mode - the text in the corner is so small I can barely read it.. guess I have to get a magnifying glass to see that
> Had a derpy moment about the download via PC & transfer over.. & as said I would still need a paid version of Titanium to freeze apps.
Yes I could google & download from suspicious sites (there's no way to get it from Play store for example) but that's one thing I REALLY hate doing - you never know whats been added
The bit I mentioned about 'modem' - Can you get 'stock' roms with different modem files ?
.. I know you can get customized roms of stock . but worried that using the wrong file can seriously brick your phone
All I wanted to know is how do I find out what Modem is installed atm on my phone to check its the same as in the ROM download
About the downgrading/unrooting - Yes I know it won't get rid of Knox, but at least I could switch on my WiFi with (one of) the previous 4.2.2 version (whatever one I had before). Even reverting to a working unrooted older ROM would be better than no WiFi at all (especially if I have to send the phone back to Samsung service for example)
As for the Sammobile details & my phone details, I was a little concerned with the differences shown between them
For example: I updated my Firmware yesterday (25th) & my phone shows Baseband version : I9505XXUDMH8
There's no 'UDMH8' shown in the latest rom on Sam's: only PDA (UEMK8) ,CSC (UEMK5) or Modem (UEMK8)
Although there IS a 'UEMK8' under my phones Build Number: JSS15J.I9505XXUEMK8
(& I always thought 'E' came after 'D' so if the latest sam rom came out on 22nd & I updated later than that .. why didn't I get the 'E' instead of the 'D' ?)
Also there is no 'UEMK5' shown under My Phone details (that I can find). Since there's no '5' in my phone details I was (once again) worried that using the wrong file would brick the phone
- Can I assume then that 'PDA' shown by Keis is the same as the last part of 'Build' ?? & as long as they are the same then the ROM's the same & is safe to use ??
- What do the CSC (UEMK5) and MODEM (UEMK8) numbers refer to then ?? & should I be worried if they are different than what (may be) on my phone
Oh - one last thing IS my GT-I9505 phone the same as a GT-I9501 LTE ??? - I thought there was a difference between a 'normal' and a 'LTE' phone (just not sure what)
Thanks again for taking the time in answering my (stupid) questions.For a newbie, this type of thing can be a bit nerve wracking.. I would hate to see a expensive phone being totally bricked
EDIT : just found out about *#1234#.. STILL not sure what these refer to (compared to Keis) but at least I now see a CSC, & there's a 'UEMK5' and 'UEMK8' there - what the hell is CP - boy is THIS confusing
