I am having the same problem and have tried several ways to update.
I flashed 3.1 OTA (KF3) then tried to update with KIES but no success.
Will update you if I figure out a way
If someone is successful, please let us know
Thanks

I guess, for some reason 3.1 OTA is an I/O update. So far I/O tab owners haven't received the TW update yet other than that 11 MB update that locked the boot loader. I don't know if there's an 3.1 OTA for the retail version, that can be ODIN to get back the unlocked boot loader and then update the TW. In the mean time, you can install the TW posted by Doc, as I did and wait for the next update for the I/O tab owners, and flash that update when it's available. .
So far everything is working fine, even the Google movies, except for Plex. One of the guy, Darrin at Plex forum said that the fix won't be coming in near future. May be they should share their codes with some dev on xda, and I'm sure the issue would be resolved a week or so.

I was looking for a stock retail OTA too but can't find any except for an I/O OTA.

The one there seems to be from the IO version. Once you flash that one, you get the update for google movies, but not the touchwiz update.

I tried this stock 3.1 several times already but always get the 11mb update. I'm going to return CWM to stock and see if that changes anything.
I'm going to give it another go!

Please let us know as soon as you find out

Had the same problem after installingfile called hc ota 3.1 from one of the forums.
I had to restore to my last backup (original 3.1) and then declined 11.2MB update, connected my device to kies and getting update throw it.

Same output. Still getting the 11mb OTA and Kies does not allow updating or even transferring files.
I finally gave the UEKMB+ROOT a try but I deleted the superuser.apk to unroot it
Works perfectly and KIES does say I'm running the latest firmware version and now able to transfer files using it
Hopefully when they release the next firmware I can use OTA.

Now, I'm wondering where the movies tab on the market section?
Not that I'm going to use it but just curious cause I heard some people have them already

i baught my tab yesterday from bestbuy and i directly got a 181MB update... i dont know if thats what u r talking about but i could notice some difference before the update and after it.

I got mine at BB when it first came out but I installed the Touchwiz ROM from here and then decided to go back to stock so I could get the official OTA but unsuccessful.

I'm using UELMB+Root, and I have the movie tab in the market. What you can do is, go to accounts and sync in the settings, remove the account and add it again. Also, clear data for market and videos application. Then open the market app, follow on screen instruction. Then open videos and choose your google account. I guess this should fix it. If not, go to CWM, clear cache and dalvik cache. Then reboot.

New Firmware Update 8.6.5.18-20111028

I just got this update today. I noticed a new market and an app called App Backup. Any other changes?
If this is a duplicate or doesn't belong here....then sorry and please delete.
Edit - cannot get App Backup to work successfully....multiple tries and nothing doing.

I am verifying the existence of the update and am downloading now.. hopefully this one fixes the deep sleep problem at the very least. Thanks for the heads uo sir!

Apart from the changes mentioned by @weaseltt the browser seems to be properly recognized with 'desktop' user agent string.
Seems to be all positive for now.. I docked mine and re-ran the update but there seems to be no update for the dock firmware.

Market seems to work fine so far. The app backup has failed on four tries, however. Will investigate further.

Yes, got the update n HK......

I wonder if App Backup is prepping us for the upgrade to the TF2?
"allows user to backup apps and app data, then restore to another Asus tablet."

No update in Norway yet :-(

Absolutely, and it's brilliant. This kind of thought process is what has me hoping that they've managed to make the current dock compatible with the Prime as well.

Took quite a while to check for updates, and then came back saying no update is available. Servers must be getting hammered.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but the browser seems much faster and responsive loading pages and typing on web pages. Before the lag was atrocious, but it's muuuuuch better now. Pages seem to load more quickly and scroll smoother. Can anyone else confirm?

I am rooted & I was able to download the update. However, the updates does start & the screen shows the file unpacking with the little Android dude. Then the the install fails. There is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the center with the Android dude. I am assuming that this means that the update failed. I am able to reboot thankfully. However how can I install the update?

Maybe you have changed some system file and now the sanity check of the update fails. You have to wait until someone upload the update .zip file.

Can you copy 'dlpkgfile' out of /cache and post it on here please mate. Then I can mod it so you will be able to flash it and still keep root. The other devs could make use of this too.

I can't really speak for other users, but the stock browser is definitely working and responding faster for me. It could have something to do with the wifi being upgraded in this latest firmware or something they fixed with the browser, but it's definitely noticeable on my end since I use the tablet daily to surf the web. Also it used to take forever to type in text boxes on the stock browser and now for me it's almost instant. Also EVERY user experience is different (most likely since May), so ironic or not it's still a good thing for other users to report what they're experiencing with new firmware upgrades.

UK Note from Clove Just Updated to 2.3.6

I have just received an OTA update to 2.3.6. I have been connecting my Note to my laptop using Kies for the last few days to see if it was available that way but there was no mention of an update. So I was pleased when I did an update check using Settings on my phone and discovered one was available OTA. It is good getting OTA updates just like on the Nexus One so there is no risk of installing the wrong firmware or making a mistake using Kies.
So what difference does the update make?

received my note yesterday and had OTA 2.3.6 XXKKA also 15 megs size.
also interested to know the differences

i bought from carphonewarehouse and got OTA 2.3.6 this morning too.
ps. its stock phone with no root.

So this removes root and CWM?
Edit: apparently root and apps are not touched on this update according to the other thread about this.
Just downloaded and install failed, it said to try using kies...

That may be the case, so I'll probably do this later today since it's almost 3am. I don't want to set everything up tonight.
Or we can just wait for a custom ROM that will have the update.

Thanks for the thread! I've nicely updated my phone

Also got 2.3.6 OTA today. Phone is from the Polish Plus+ telco. Seems much snappier all around. Will be interesting to see if battery life improves too. Also the stylus seems more accurate but it's hard to say...
Bring on ICS!

mine fails the wifi update. tried 3 times. my phone is rooted.
fire up kies and says that kj4 is the latest

perhaps its to do with the method you used for rooting.
iirc, there are a couple of different root methods, some of them seem to affect the tamper counter (cant think of what its really called). maybe the update is only available for those who still have the counter at 0?
dont quote me on this though, im still a nubblet on the tweaking side of android.

I rooted my note with Chainfire's tutorial using the zergrush method and installed the new KKA kernel.

Jb ota n8000xxbli2

This is one of the two versions of JB OTA updates that were released in the middle of september. This one was only releasde by Sammobile and it gave an error trying to flash it thru stock recovery. I didnt at the time think about trying with Mobile Odin, BUT I DID TODAY!
N8000XXBLI2 has some changes from the DDALI1 JB OTA update. As i can remember the LI1 version didnt have S-Pen settings in settings like ICS firmware has, XXBLI2 has! It also has something called Cloud in settings, havent tested yet but it seems to be something like dropbox. Also with this JB version gallery is fully functional and its possible to set background thru it with out FC. Its 1 day older then the LI1 but seems more stable. I havent tested any Multiscreen functions yet or any of the S-apps if its any more changes from LI1 version.
If anyone is intrested in flashing this heres a guide:
First you need to be on N8000XWALH1( Philippines, Globe) base, so download that from Sammobile. You also need to download 2 diffrent OTAs: N8000XWALI3 and the JB OTA N8000XXBLI2.
Now Odin flash base firmware N8000XWALH1and root that( if you didnt flash with Mobile Odin and everroot) let it boot and apply first OTA N8000XWALI3 thru Mobile Odin and choose everoot, let it run and boot.
Now apply JB OTA N8000XXBLI2 same here choose everroot. This one Mobile Odin will give some error messages about( one for Modem not being the same as base and one for 8 files of 400 dont matching the check) just ignore thoose and let Mobile Odin run its thing and let it boot.
It doesnt matter if you have CWM installed before flashing with Mobile Odin, it uses its own recovery.
I dont give any support and its not my fault if you destroy your device. Its not rocket science, just download 3 files and apply them with Mobile Odin.
Thought we needed something to do in the weekend and its acctually much more complete then the LI1 OTA.
Good Luck

Thanks,

Like nickwarn says, it works fine.
S-Pen settings are in place but no multitasking and no IR yet.
Base firmware N8000XWALH1 only has a few languages but after flashing the JB OTA you will have many more.

What do you mean with no multitasking? Are you referring to the splitscreen function? If so it is there and working fine, it's just a bit different.

Yep, almost.
Here you have it on the mini app bar. You actually chose a layout there. You can divide your screen in 2, 3 or 4 parts and run the apps there.
The apps on the "previously called mini app bar"-bar has grown from 10 to 17, so you have the browser there and some other stuff.
If you run one of them full screen, and you want to get back to split screen, either put your finger at the top on the screen (then a menu will slide down where you can put it back in split screen) or bring up the mini app bar and chose the layout and it should go from full screen to split screen.
I don't know if you can call them mini apps any longer, they've kind of integrated the mini apps with full apps and split screen..

Help please.

Two days ago I updated my WiFi nexus from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Everything went smooth except one thing. Prior the update I had an app called Hola running. (This app is changing the IP of the device to let you connect with web pages like Pandora radio.) I forgot to stop this app from running before updating my nexus and after the update this app is not working but it keeps changing my IP. I uninstalled it but nothing changed. Checking my IP through pages like whatismyip.com it seems that I am behind a proxy. In this nexus I have a second user accound for my wife without hola app and its IP is the correct one. What can I do to correct the problem? Thanks in advance.

Did Hola require root? You would have lost root with the update. I hope there is a better answer for you, but a factory data reset may be required.

This app requires root but my nexus is still rooted after the update to 4.3. I don' t want to factory reset my tablet as I don' t want to setup two accounts from the beginning.

You're fortunate to have kept root. Most have had to re-root after the update, including me. Have you tried to uninstall and re-install the app? Perhaps the app needs an update. You could check with the developer.

Do you actually have root, or did you just look to see if you had SuperSU/Superuser installed and see a popup? Go into your Superuser app and double check, because there is no way you should have been able to preserve root from 4.2.2/4.3.

After updating to 4.3 I installed supersu update zip for 4.3 and my nexus is rooted again.
I have already send 2 mails to the developers of hola but I got no answer yet.

And you're still having this problem after the update?

As I have already told in my first post this happened after the update to 4.3.
@everyone: Please answer if you have a solution to my problem. Thanks again.

Finally the problem solved after the Hola app Devs released a compatible for 4.3 version. @all: thanks
