Installing Polish 4.1 Release

I want to install the Polish 4.1 Firmware but have some questions.
What's different between this and the U.K firmware? What will be different?
If I flash the Firmware through Odin, it resets and I lose all my stuff right?
(Also I'm not rooted and don't want to root)

I would also like to do this but do not know the consequences

You phone will think it's in Poland and if you use any banking apps you will not be able to use that's why I don't install it

no idea what is the difference between polish and uk firmware, in theory there shouldn't be any.
nop, everything stays exactly the same. i would always advise you do a nandroid backup, just in case.

How do you get the polish fw? Do you change your regional settings to Poland or download it on pc and flash it?

And no, the Polish version doesn't affect the apps that you'll see on the Google Play and won't make your phone think that it's in Poland. The Odin installation will most likely wipe your phone, so be sure to backup everything before flashing. But just to be on the safe side, if you don't know what you are doing, don't flash it and wait for the official release on your region.

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.

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.

Check your inbox + download german rom instead of uk rom in the pm then after flashing download csc changer from market and change csc to dbt and you will get the ota to jellybean (german rom has english and other languages normally)

What is the advantage of changing csc and getting German ota rather then just doing the update manually? Seems like extra work to me.

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

How can I find out if the .253 update is available via OTA in Denmark? I'm on .253 flashed via PCC and I've lost my root access. I want to roll back to .350 via Flash tool and root it. Then I want to update to .253 via OTA and keep my root access. But before I do that I want to know if the update is available in my are - Denmark. How can I check up on that?

Its suppose to have started on Tuesday last week but seems Vodafone UK has it.

So will this be the generic UK version? Should be nice to see a hopefully smoother 4.3 than what I'm currently using.

Maybe its stuck in traffic on the M25.

I think what they have actually confirmed is they have no idea what's going on and they are quite happy to ignore one of their biggest markets.....

I hope we get this by the end of Feb, because after that, their website will be lying.
Cant be much different to the Generic Austrailia firmware. Why is it taking so long !
Does anyone have a link to the Vodafone UK 266 FTF?

Its in a thread soemone started specifically about the vodafone UK version a few pages back now. Id not bother though unless you're rooting straight off, its better than the CE in my opinion but has some voda specific bloat and is still sluggish at times.
Ive decided to just try the Existenz rom which sounds like a nice tweaked version and pre-rooted to boot.

maybe some progress:

Well my number is there as getting it so I will check when I get home but not holding my breath.

Whilst it'd be nice to have a proper Generic UK one id still hold out for the next version in case it has some good fixes in.
