Asian JB 4.1.1 Started rolling out { China & Taiwan }

Seems Asian JB 4.1.1 { N8000} has started rolling out.
Download link for Taiwan http://www.hotfile.com/dl/186166028/25b4525/N8000ZSBLL3_N8000OZSBLL3_BRI.zip.html
Download link for China http://www.hotfile.com/dl/186165326/f7c8c83/N8000ZCBLL3_N8000CHNBLL3_CHN.zip.html.
Will test to see if there`s any differences from the German rom.
EDIT : Had to adjust the Title to Show 4.1.1 as it seems SamMobile is fooling us , on their site is showing 4.1.2 but actually they are 4.1.1

I think 4.1.2 removes some of the settings for the lock screen, not sure though

Still downloading, didn`t test yet.

Might be able to set up the shortcuts on lock screen by changing csc parameters

Sounds good! Hopefully they'll actually roll 4.1.2 out to all those countries they haven't updated since 4.0 too...

It's a mistake of Samsung
I've downloaded the one for China and find out it's a 4.1.1 ROM, not 4.1.2.
So it's a mistake of Samsung.

But they said it is 4.1.1 as shown in Settings.

Also the lockscreen shortcuts are back. You can toggle them off/on as you please.

I haven't been able to find lockscreen shortcuts as you say. Are you using stock 4.1.2 ?
If so, where are those options
Thanks

My settings show 4.1.1 after flashing the Taiwaneses firmware file. I haven't had any luck flashing the Chinese firmware.

yep,still 4.1.1,both of China & Taiwan

The taiwanese and Chinese are the one and same firmware check the info.
What firmware were you on before this and what region are you from.
The reason you are not getting the shortcut icons could be two your note is not from the Chinese region and you flash firmware for the Chinese version.
Your not is a chinese version but you have flashed rom from some other region and also have changed the CSC code.

Nothing for thailand.
Come on Samsung.

Can someone please let me know which region my Note 10.1 N8000 belongs to and whether there is any Jellybean update available for it so far? Screenshot of About screen attached.

yeah i read this thread, but as i am new to quite Android (coming from iOS jailbraking) i am quite cautious...
okay so it'll work
steps for my note 3 will be:
-unbrand by Flash mi7 german csc without Branding
-create mj3 rdlv
-Flash created Firmware
- do the sd Card part
[when mj6 german is out]
-create mj6 rdlv
-Flash created Firmware
-do the sd Card part
?? some ppl said something about other files i had to Flash ??
pls confirm/correct me give newies a chance to get pros

sorry, but as I have written it, my CSC is part of the CSC from the stock BTU MJ6 (XEF) and i won't take the risk to play with other CSC even if it seems to can be done
Maybe someone who has unbranded his unit can help you
EDIT : and for the second part, yes use RDLV and add to the zip the boot, non-hlos, modem and hidden part from the stock MJ6 you will use

thank you, extract the files from the tar.md5 and put them wehre in Odin 3.09 ?
so i wait for mj6 DBT right? dont wanna f*ck anything up with CSCs

rename the *.tar.md5 made by RDLV to *.tar and, with 7-zip, open it and add the other parts from the stock firmware (firmware unzipped with 7-zip)

Has anyone heard anything from DG?
I've created a modified version of URDLV that supports the extra bits of newer firmwares and ideally would like his permission before I post it.
Does anyone know which Forum he's living in now?

Lol, I've added an extra option to accommodate the new firmware requiring the modem and HLOS.
So there is now 3 options.
Full (this is a new modified version)
System (was the old full)
CSC (unchanged).

[Q] Carrier doesn't release updates

Dear all,
first of all, sorry if this question is repeated, but I couldn't find a good answer by searching.
I bought a i9505 Galaxy S4 that came with a version of Android that has been modified by the carrier. There's a lot of bloatware and everything, but worse, they haven't even released the Android 4.3.
Can I install a "default" firmware of a i9505 Galaxy S4, in order to solve this problem? Clean, carrier free?
If yes, can someone post a guide on how to do this? I'm completely new to this subject, have no experience at all.
Thank you very much in advance!

Anyone?
This problem is really annoying me...

Another try...
Is it possible to just flash android again or do I need to root my phone?
I'm new to Android.

You can directly flash a rom from your country free of branch (fob) or unbranched (ub), their updates are faster than carrier ones. You don't need to root the phone to do this.

Great, that already helps a lot. I'll find a way to do that. Thank you!

Well, searching in Sammobile I found out that my firmware is Brazil (VIVO) - ZVV. (Vivo is the carrier)
Can I just flash Brazil - ZTO (which is carrier free) with Samsung Kies?
Thank you!

You can flash that rom, but not with kies... kies will only update your installed rom, it is, zvv firmware. You must flash zto rom by Odin 3.09. It is easy, just search the forum.

[Q] Rooting S4, without installing new ROM?

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the rooting scene so please go easy on me if I sound a little stupid. I've done a bit of reading from time to time over the last few months and it seems like there are a lot of different opinions and theories about rooting to and from the official ROMs with Knox. I'm on the official 4.3 now so I've already got Knox installed.
I'm wondering if it's easy to simply root the phone so I can adjust some settings (Eg. turning the annoying shutter sound off on the camera), but not install any new ROM, without tripping the Knox flag? I don't want to lose any warranty and I want to be able to update OTA officially when new updates come out. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help.

Not without voiding the Knox warranty, no. If that's important to you, forget about custom firmware.

Hmm damn! So it's loading custom firmware even without loading a custom ROM?

No way around that if you already have the Knox bootloader.

Well this is part of my problem, I'm hearing a lot of different things from different people. I'm on i9505, so is there anyone else that's been able to do this without tripping the Knox flag?

Yes, search for "s4 vroot" in Google, there are several blogs with instructions. Only works in i9505.

Thanks but these quotes are a worry:
"I DONT SUPPORT NOR DO I USE THIS ANYMORE."
AND
"Kingo and vroot have been determined to be malware and unsafe for use, as such all threads will be closed and links removed.
Thank you"
The links provided for alternate solutions aren't making much sense to me.
