Did anyone else got these OTA update? I got it today (I am in India, have a GT-P3100). It just mentions "stability improvements" in the prompt before the OTA is applied. Things do seem a bit faster now.
One welcome improvement was this option to change the screenshot QuickLaunch softkey to other things like Applications/Search/Camera or get rid of it altogether. Anyone else found any extra tweaks yet?

I am rooted on a custom ROM, so of course I didn't get it, but those changes to the screenshot button are pretty awesome! At least Samsung listens to us... A little.
Checked samfirmware.com and saw 4 asian countries listed with this update to 4.0.4
Pretty fast update.. guess I'll have to wait here in the Netherlands

Can you crossflash P3113 to P3100?
To answer my own question yes you can crossflash 3113 to 3100 but the phone functionalities wont work (says no network)
Other than that everything seems fine.
did it have english language?
i want to download it from sammobile and flash it.
Yes it is English.
IR Blaster / Peel does not work though as the P3100 doesn't have IR Blaster.

Did you flash it or are you just guessing?
I ask because, I don't use the IR anyways and wouldn't mind checking this out.

I flashed it on my P3113. Peel complains it is incompatible (As the model number changed to P3100 which doesnt have Infrared)
Additionally there is a phone icon on the homescreen which P3113 cant really use (lack of hardware) although you can disable that.
Not perfect, I'd wait for a proper 4.0.4 for P3113.

For me using Kies wasn't necessary. I was using the device while connected to Wifi and it downloaded the update via OTA on its own and asked me to apply it. You may want to check "Update" settings to make sure OTA is enabled. FWIW, I also had a Samsung account setup (for Samsung Dive), not sure if that affects things.
just a quick question!
i got my tab2 P3100 (4.0.3) monday morning and saw the update notif, but dint update to 4.0.4, cos i wanted to check how good i was getting battery wise etc.
Will update probably this Saturday.
My question is will this 4.0.4 work on P1000? i do know that the arch is different, but since the update installs Peel w/o the India P3100 having IR, is there a possibility that this may work?
My device is rooted, ive downloaded the new fw through Ota, but when the system reboots it comes to cwm, how can i apply the update?

Hello all,
I have the GT-N8013 (US Version), and decided I wanted to get Jelly Bean on it, since Samsung hasn't really said anything about an update for the USA.
I just flashed the German 4.1.1 ODIN last night as per this thread. I was under the impression this would not affect the binary counter or the firmware status. However, my binary count is now 2 (I've never flashed anything else), and the firmware status is Custom, rather than Samsung Official/Normal.
As such, I can no longer receive OTA updates for this device. I wanted to keep myself in a position where I could still get OTA updates one way or another.
I've seen things about changing the CSC, but I'm not sure I want to wipe the device, especially if I wouldn't be guaranteed to get OTA updates afterwards. (Or would it be guaranteed that OTAs would work if I changed the CSC to DBT...?)
What is the best course of action to get back to Samsung Official/Normal status (USA or German), or can it even be done?
(If I can't get back to Samsung Official, is there somewhere to download GT-N8010 German update.zip files, rather than the 1GB ODIN files?)
Thanks in advance for any help!
You'll need to root and then use TriangleAway to reset your counter. Then you can unroot and reflash official 4.1.1 from sammobile.com or just keep your root. Either way, you have to root to reset your counter. I recommend ExynosAbuse. As for OTA updates, you'll have to unroot and flash back to stock for that. To accomplish this, I recommend bypassing ODIN and using MobileODIN to flash, just in case the 8010 firmware is what tripped your counter to begin with... you know, cause you put it on an 8013.

Strange - Mine didn't do that for 4.11 or 4.1.2. It only changed when I rooted it. How are you checking that the Binary count is 2?

This will be because there is a mismatch between the devices CSC and the Firmware that is installed. You WILL lose all data if you wipe the device (Yes I've done it - No ROMS for UAE either)

Personally I'd wait a few days. JB is rolling out now, and I don't really believe that the US (8013) version will be that long behind the others. So if you can wait, then just download the 8013 JB ROM when it arrives, flash it with Odin and you will be back to official. I would tend to ignore the Binary count for now (see question above) and then fix it when you get the 8013 JB and your ready to go "Official"
Thanks for the replies!

I'm just looking at the information at the top left of the screen when the device is in download mode.
Thanks for pointing me to ExynosAbuse. That will definitely make life easier when I go to reset the binary counter!
I'll probably just wait to flash an 8013 JB ROM once one is available. The 8010 firmware doesn't have 5GHz WiFi support, which I use frequently.
Thanks for the advice!

That's funny. My 8013 on 8010 firmware works perfectly on 5 GHz wireless n.

Same thing happened to me. My counter is up to 2 now, one for the German ICS and one for the German JB.
My hypothesis is that you can swap ROMS within the same model - so any 8010 ROM works fine on any 8010 without upping the count, but that going between models (8010 -> 8013) trips the counter.
However, as far as I can tell, everything works fine except the ability to update OTA and it might even be better since you're getting the version that's not been modified for the US market to get past the legal issues with Apple.
The only iffy part is that you're going to be stuck relying on XDA for updates.. but to be honest, the gang here has been pretty reliable in that area for years.

I also installed the 8010 JB and now wi-fi direct between my GS3 and the Note doesn't work anymore.
I'm not rooted, will having the flash counter at 2, if I have an official rom flashed (and it says official in download mode), prevent me from getting an OTA?

WiFi issue are VERY common when flashing roms from different regions. Every country has different frequencies & bands that can be used publicly & in the UK & Germany, they differ from here in the US. If you change your CSC files in system to identify as an en_US device, or more precisely, change the line in the wifi config file from ccode=gb to ccode=ALL , you will then get 5Ghz. I have no issues with AllShare or WiFi direct, but I changed the wifi config files & edited the csc files to show XAR region with all wifi channels open (ccode=ALL).
BTW, there was an 4.1.1 region XAR leak recently, a few days ago I think. I am also pretty sure someone, maybe Darkman, released a deodexed version of it. There are also dumps of it in the Dev section of the Note 10.1 forums.
This might b a dumb question but if I root my Verizon note 3 NC4 will I b able to fix the known signal and GPS issues associated with the new 4.4.2 Ota software update? ? Had the note 2 i605 and it had a lot better signal before I rooted it !!

Update your modem by flashing the latest firmware. Or try a factory reset. Rooting alone does nothing.

Yes you can.
This is a possible fix for common GPS issues on 4.4.2.
Use a root explorer and browse to system/etc. Find the file "GPS.conf", long press it open in text editor. Change the 0 to a 3 at lte position profile. Save and Reboot.

My wife just got a notification this morning that she has a system update available on her vzw s5. Does anyone know what this is? Is it marshmallow? Just trying to be cautious, she uses her phone extensively for work and I don't want to tell her to accept an update without knowing what it is.
Don't think so. Friend of mine has a note 4 and had the update last week, now his phone will reboot when not plugged in and won't reboot when plugged in. Idk. But I think it's just and update for 5.0.1
I had similar update on my note4 but havent done it yet as not sure to what it was...
Is there anywhere to find out (from vzw) what the update is?

2 questions:
1. The update notice says that it is a security update. Is this code for "the OS will be even more unrootable?"
2. The messages are somewhat insistent that I update. Should I try to block this? If so, could someone explain how to stop it?
It seems a new update is about to roll out. The build is BG1.
Maybe just a security patch containing update, but the thing is, the odin TAR is available already.

I rooted using a custom script someone made in the att thread. It fixed the cpu frequencie issues and adjusted each governor of the small and big clusters. So far so good with only minot hiccups once in a while. I haven't noticed much of a difference with the pg1 firmware if any. If you need help rooting check out the att forum or i can help when i get back home.
if we are already rooted on PD8, can we just flash this ontop of PD8 and retain root? What about user data?
I got this update on 2 S7's and on both of them, I now have cellular data issues. Wifi calling will keep giving me a notice that my phone is going to use wifi for calls when the feature is set to prefer Cellular for calls. Rebooting doesn't help, it will eventually say it again. I have to keep turning off wifi to force the message away. And during browsing on cellular, it drops a lot even though I know I have great coverage where I use it. With 2 phones, and only have this update, I think something is wrong with this firmware.

I haven't had any issues, everything works fine. Here go down till you find generic galaxy s7 after root process and flash the zip he made via Flashfire. See if that helps. Did you factory reset after rooting btw?
I am not rooted. I just saw this Firmware thread and figured this was a good place to talk about my issue related to this firmware. I will update my previous post to show no rooting. All stock.
