Newest Firmware OTA 4.1.1 was out, India build: N8000DDALI1

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-N8000&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware
Thr original build was N8000DDALH1, 4.0.4
and a OTA files build N8000DDALI1 ,4.1.1
Is this the first stock JB firmware?
I'm downloading now,but i don't know if it's multi language or not.
Sorry if i posted to the wrong place...

Looks like it. There is clearely 4.1.1 stated. Can't wait until I can update to it... Or maybe I can do it now using that file?

Wow sounds awesome.
I am hoping that we are going to also be getting the Note 2.0 goodness with this OTA.
P.S. If you are rooted always run your OTA through Kies to prevent bootlooping. To play it really safe just wait on the devs to clean it up first.

Can you use this file to update GT-N8013? Or just 8000?
Thanks

Yes. I was just wondering because I want Arabic language support and it does not come in stock build for our region.
Many thanks.

But how do i install it? i have a stock out of the box n8000

I believe the MOST reliable way to update an OTA is through Kies on your desktop. If Kies doesn't show it is available to you yet it isn't. Just Google Kies if you want to install it on your desktop.
Don't try to force an OTA not made for you and don't use the software update feature on your tablet if you are rooted. Will break things.

i have found a way, flash the india 4.0.4 version thru odin and then connect thru kies voila..

Whereas rom development for the SGN10.1 has been a little slow to catch fire I believe it will accelerate appreciably once Jellybean is out. No reason for a top developer to spend a lot of time on an ICS rom.
Cm10 seems to be going very well but for those of us not anxious to give up the various S-goodies we'll just have to wait.

I have tried that and all it says is that im on the latest. Not that good on kies but is there a way toi force kies to check for firmware update? In older kies i think there was a button called check for firmware updates. Cant find such a button now.

People I am telling you you are asking for trouble flashing an OTA not designed for your device. Just be patient. Samsung devices are hard brickable. Just wait. If Kies doesn't have it you aren't supposed to have it.

wanted to update via Kies but it says i that have the updated firmware (eventhough in the system-about device it still shows 4.1.2).
if i were to update manually by flashing the update from sammobile, will i void my warranty? or set off the counter?
thanks.

you can flash back to 4.1.2, if you rooted it you can use triangle away to reset your counter then unroot your device...

works here too, Even with the first 4.2.2 German Update: Just had to hit menu button to start it up. :cyclops:
for anyone else , in the menu just select and set it to while charging from default dock mode , as most did not notice it because likely no one was using a dock.

Updated mine the other day. I noticed lower benchmark score (from 18K+ down to 17.5K+). Anyone with same experience?. Also, I have to uninstall some updated apps from playstore and install it again before they function right. (Case in point, Google Chrome, Drive, G+, and WeChat).

Use CF-Root, that works fine.
You'll need to use Triangle Away to clear the binary count once you've rooted the device.

So may be this is the real problem for flashing stock rom by odin as bootloder is modified. So we should see bootloader for effected member and non effected member.

Considering the large number of S4's in India, I guess we will have to wait patiently if we want it through OTA.
For today, the limit is over I guess. So Kies is the only way out.

Just a bit of help please. I'm currently charging phone to be ready for update via kies (currently only 20% battery). I have a lot of apps that may not be compatible with 4.3 I guess. As this is a major update, will kies show an option of Resetting the device while updating OR I have to manually reset first?

Hi Bala,
I installed Russian firmware yesterday,.... some times i am getting Roaming symbol now i am plan to install India version.... Do i need to install India modem separately to avoid roaming symbol..?

Updated to 4.3. Phone seems really snappy, and text looks good and sharp. Camera opens fast.
The only problem that I have (and had in 4.2.2) is that when I take photos in HDR mode, phone shuts down when it shows "Processing".
I thought update will solve this problem but damn. Anyone else having same problem? please report.

1. Make a backup of your Internal memory.
2. Make a factory reset (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.)
3. Dial *#1234# and attach what appears.

Flashing new firmware won't lock ur phone if your phone is unlocked legally by IMEI (no for service mode coz this only worked in android 4.2.2). You can update directly to android 4.4.2 if you wish without problems

But remember verify your CSC with Kies3 before flash any firmware if you wanna receive OTA updates in future and avoid problems with other firmwares. Attach one screenshot of Kies 3 and I will help ya better.
