Security warning for all Note 10.1 devices

As many of you know, all devices that have a Exynos processor have a security hole, called EXYNOS EXPLOIT.
Basically, this security hole allowes apps to have complete access to everything on your device.
For more information on this security hole, click:
http://www.google.com/search?q=samsung+exynos+exploit
Samsung has released new firmware for exynos devices, these firmwares close this security hole.
For your own security, every Note 10.1 should change to the latest 2013 firmware.
2013 firmware has a code that ends with M** for example:
N8010XXUCMA5 (4.1.2)
N8000XXCMA1 (4.1.2)
N8013UEUCMA3 (4.1.2)
You can get the newest firmware on samsung-updates.com and samfirmware.com.
Firmware on these sites is official Samsung firmware from Samsung Kies.
About country versions and OTA updates:
Experience shows that the waiting time for your country firmware version or an OTA update for your country depends on the priority your country has for samsung (waiting time of 1 day, many months or possibly never get an update for your country).
Samsung firmware for the Note 10.1 includes all languages and is almost identical in all country versions (with exception of the China version).
Also the Taiwan version offers all languages at setup. You just have to select Samsung Keyboard in your language version in settings and the firmware will be like your own country version.
You should backup all your data/apps/settings with something like Titanium backup, install the new firmware and then do a factory reset.
You can also not do the factory reset, but you may have compatibility problems.
To install firmware on your Note 10.1 you need Odin.
You can download it here:

They are not mirrors, they often have one rom, that the other one does not have.

No. It is not related to the android version. the patch is in the boot image. Also the 4.1.1. ending with M** is fixed.

What you posted does not contradict me. you refered to 3 roms and say they are 4.1.2. They are not all 3 4.1.2. The fix is in the boot image, not in android. If you take your 4.1.2 and change only the boot image, you are again with security hole.

I'm saying, I've been to both Samsung-update.com and Samfirmware.com, neither of which have the updates you have posted in the op. The hotfile links you posted take you to a d/l site that has the N8013EUCMA3 firmware that is the same as the 4.1.2 build number you can see in my screenshot.

Yup, just like my screenprint

will there be an official update?

Legion, can you update the first post with some more specific advice. Is this THE ota exynos update? Are Sammy going to release this OTA or is this it? Is this image for ALL devices irrespective of country. How it affects region specific devices. Also, flashing details etc.
I was under the impression that Bri was for Taiwan specific devices only! But I read somewhere that this update can be flashed regardless of region.
I think a little more advice on the first post would help users here.
I'm downloading now and will update as soon as, but a lot of users won't download based on the first post being unclear.
Riki

As per I know all patches will be release via OTA, the US 4.1.2 rom is already patch the German 4.1.2 rom has received the patch via OTA. Others I am not aware of but yes it will come out in form of an OTA. The OTA should be around 10 - 20 MB

So this download is NOT needed then? Is there any point downloading the ROM Legion has linked to?

The roms he has linked are stock firmwares for regions like Germany, US which have already received the patch. If you are on stock rom for your country then wait you will receive the OTA soon, if you are on a stock rom from another region then you will not so it makes sense to flash the German rom.
Also a question to all those how many device have been harmed because of exploit till date I have not seen even a single member posting about it so I do not think it is as serious as we make out to be

Well, downloaded and installed on ma tab UK 8010. Been messing around with it for the last half hour, checking everything works as it should.
Device OFFICIAL status.
Allshare Cast works fine.
No issues with language.
Seems slightly smoother and faster.
All tested apps work as they did prior.
Still 4.1.1 as expected. Exynos exploit fixed.
So, I would say given my previous thread, IF you have issues with Kies or OTA I would download and install.

Absolutely agree with Samir. Why would you downgrade to 4.1.1 just to fix a feature which seems never to have caused a problem!
Other than allowing the Note10.1 to be much easier to root for the hundreds (probably thousands) of users who have used the simple rooting method using the Exynos Exploit?

Compared to what - original 4.1.2?

I think I would rather wait for the "official" OTA update than download from a unknown source, thanks all the same.

Dont worry his source are geniune as they are the samfirmware stock rom links so do not worry about the source

I agree, but I was on 4.1.1 anyway. So closing a potential issue is a no brainer for me. It may well be the best/easiest way to root the tab but having such a potentially dangerous exploit there is not worth the risk.
Just because no one has been affected (or reported having been affected, or even knows they are affected) doesn't justify keeping it open. Especially IF you use the tab for banking, or other financial or work purposes!
My thoughts anyway.

Well its not that someone can use the exploit by magic they need a disguise to do that in form of an app or something else so if you are using it for banking then you would anyways be extra sure of the source of apps you install or website you browse.
Also once you patch it does not mean that your device cannot be hacked there are many other ways to it may be the above one was the easiest.
Again I am in no advocating not to patch the exploit but just putting some facts. Infact there was an article which said there were may fishing apps on google play itself

Way I see it is simple. The tab has a major exploit, the option to fix that exploit is now available. Folks can argue semantics/doomsday scenarios all day long, but it don't change the facts!

Installing now, let's see how it goes...

changelog same as the last update for 551ml
update file size 42.06 MB

I won't bother with this one - I gather I wouldn't need to unroot first because used root method 3, but I probably would still unfreeze apps and unroot just to be safe. Too much hassle for this OTA, which does nothing relevant to me as far as I can see.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM!!!
I am rooted with method 3 so I wasn't afraid of updating the OTA, I saw the update came, downloaded it and installed it quickly.
But then I remembered that I had some ASUS Apps and Bloatware frozen, I thought I would get a Bootloop and then I would have to downgrade and lose all my data, but once the update was installed, I couldn't boot normally even from the recovery mode, it forced me to install the OTA, after the bootanimation I saw Apps being updated x out of 128... Hope it works well even with frozen apps, am at App 93 out of 128 now, wish me luck.
Maybe there is a 50%-50% chance to get Bootloop with frozen Apps.

I received the update too. Can anyone notice any difference?

thats amazing news :good: there is this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61717428&postcount=380 and this guy is also reporting the same thing....no bootloops after update even without un-freezing the apps...If a new update arrives will try to update my phone without un-freezing the apps and will confirm whether it is really needed to un-freeze apps or not

So, battery drain fixed?
.22 was awful, before that I got through the day with 20-30% available at night, but .22 crushed my battery.

Is it available for 551 as well?

Trust me, don't do it..probably he is not getting bootloop because .23 is not upgrading apps but only something in the code, if arrives an update that updates the apps or parts of them, you will get bootloop.

On the 551 they released the .22 update that added this:
"1 Add kill switch (Anti-theft) function for US and Canada regulation.
2 Improve modem capability in India
3 Fixed the issue that cannot phone with Tailand True Provider SIM1."
As you can see, they didn't update translation (for example) or anything regarding the ZenUI (probably this .23 is the .22 we received on the 551).
In the past Asus released updates that included upgrades in apps like "power saver", or updated transations in other apps, if they are frozen, when the phones tries to create the new cache for the app, it will bootloop.. this update doesn't touch your apps.
You understood now?

Ohhh i didnt thought of that :good: thanks for the save... btw does the bootloop occur only on this device or it happens with all the android devices? For samsung and other devices if u freeze the apps and update via ota does it also gets into a bootloop or is it specific to this device?

I think it's the same, the system needs to create the new caches and finalize the update, I can't test it but I think it's the same, because it's android related and not Asus only.

Same for me on 2.13 on my 550. My battery life has been generally decent, but it's terrible today! Ignore the red mobile network bar (that is because I use a data-only sim), but what the hell is going on with all those wakes (the phone was in my desk with the screen sleeping and no apps running nearly all morning). And the weirdest thing is the bar of WiFi activity around lunchtime. My WiFi was turned off!! Sort it out ASUS ffs.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0_4.4 with ODIN and had no issues getting it to stick. When the device reboots after the ODIN flash, make sure you are immediately holding the home button and volume up button. As long as you can get it to boot into TWRP immediately after the flash, it will stick.
However, flashing SuperSU resulted in a bootloop immediately after. Guess we need a new root for this firmware. If you care, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-2014/help/twrp-4-4-build-5-1-1-rom-t3216561 is a thread I started for this. Post there and subscribe, maybe some experts will come along to help us...

Any feedback on whether it includes the new snote and new spen features like smart clip from Note 4 or Note 5

In p605 now is possibile write a note in lockscreen

The pen window has these commands now:
Air Command (no change)
Smart Select (where old Scrap Booker was)
Image Clip (where old Screen Write was)
Screen Write (where old S-Finder was)
Pen Window (no change)
So I think the answer is "Yes" depending on what you mean by "Smart Clip"

Root!

I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

Were you able to install the SuperSU beta via TWRP? I just get that the file is corrupt and can't go any further. I was able to flash the new ROM and TWRP using the first few steps.

Yes. I am not sure if a final version has been released.

Has anyone here observed that ever since updating to lollipop that it won't store Wi-Fi credentials through reboots? It seems every time I reboot my tablet I have to reconnect to my Wi-Fi...
Edit... it seems that it's not just reboots that causes the WiFi to forget the saved networks. Turning WiFi off and then back on again will also cause it to forget all saved networks. Not sure what to do to fix this this time...
Just tried a factory reset to see if maybe I just had a dirty flash or something... Didn't help. Is anyone else having this problem?

Should have asked first, are you on stock, or did you try to root using the P605 guide? If you are rooted, then open up /system/build.prop and change ro.securestore.support from true to false to fix the wifi issue... If you are on stock, read on for some suggestions...
I do not have this problem. Based on other people discussing something similar on OTHER devices, few things you may want to try are below ... Please note that I am NOT an expert and there is a good chance I am citing discussions that have NOTHING to do with your problem. 1 and 2 should be safe and not do any damage to your device, but 3 might be risky. So, please try solutions at your own risk ...
1) Forget/Delete the connection once and connect to it again from scratch by entering the password. Right now you reenter the password when the device forgets it, but some people seemed to be discussing how deleting a working connection and reentering password manually seems to fix it. No idea why this would work!
2) Since you already did a factory reboot, one suggestion I saw elsewhere was to flash the new ROM with ODIN, then reflash it again right away. Again, absolutely no idea if or why this might ever work!
3) Are you sure you updated to the RIGHT LL ROM for your device? The most frequent reason I see for this is if you flashed the wrong device/region ... For example, if you are on the P607T (T-Mobile) and flashed the Nordic (NEE) ROM that is listed in the root guides on this site, that might mess up your wi-fi. Some discussion I saw on this suggested flashing the correct MODEM file manually.
If you ever figure it out, please come back and share your solution!

I actually have the SM-P607T and I downloaded the stock ROM from Youmobile and flashed with Odin because Kies and Smart Switch kept locking up on me. I started fresh and only restored apps after flashing an unsecured boot and rerooting.
This suggestion worked perfectly. Stored WiFi passwords now survive reboots and turning WiFi on and off.
I would have quite literally found that. Thank you SO much! That little problem was wildly inconvenient but it's fixed now.
Thanks again.

No problem! This is apparently quite a common issue and you would have bumped into a discussion sooner or later... I noticed that even the thread with the unsecured boot image has now been updated with this information
Thanks for that link btw ... Does everything else work alright with that kernel on the P607T? The P605 is AT&T, if I am not mistaken and I am unsure what changes exist between that and the T-Mo version. Its strange that Samsung has released so much on its opensource portal for the 605, but literally just one source for the 607T. Perhaps because the base code is the same? No idea, but if you are happy with your performance out of this kernel, let us know...

I'm actually quite pleased with performance and usability of my P607T with the stock 5.1.1 ROM installed. Everything works as expected except for that wifi issue and that's now fixed thanks to your info a few posts up.
I can't speak to whether or not the base code is the same or not I would imagine that the code is likely very similar if not the same because I had "[ROM][P605][5.0.2] Besonderes; a Touchwiz Lollipop ROM for Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 LTE" which is made for the P605 installed on my P607T and everything worked except wifi direct which is actually very important to me because my work program requires it.
Now I can't keep my tablet rooted because the program I use for work won't load with the tablet rooted. This has been the case since 4.4.4 too so no big deal..
What I have to do is go into supersu and turn root on and off as needed. A bit inconvenient but it works...

Good to know everything works well ...
Blue Cat has been sharing his source files and config and suggested some ways to compare P605 with P607T to figure out if they are the same or how similar they are. Its been a while since I tinkered with linux, but as and when I learn something, will update.

What process did you use to root p607t with 5.1.1?

I followed the instructions from this linked thread, substitute p607t firmware for the p605 in step 1.
Key is to not let it auto reboot after Odin flashes twrp, if you miss that step then you have to reflash it as it will be overwritten.
Once you are in twrp then you flash supersu and boot up.

I tried the instructions on Post 144 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lollipop-5-1-1-galaxy-note-10-t3215876/page15
It works without doing Step 1 (i.e. on the Stock Tmobile ROM)! All credit goes to @bluecat for doing the work and @M3r71n0 for the English translation!

I was never able to get Knox disabled from supersu and was constantly getting the security check notification(I had frozen parts of it in the past and now it won't thaw no matter what I have tried, FULL wipe and reflash, check w tibu and still frozen... No idea). I used titanium backup to freeze "securitylogagent" and everything has been fine since, including WiFi credentials sticking

Need help updating baseband/modem on I9505

Hey guys,
I've had my S4 for a while now and I've been happily switching around between ROMs and getting the newest versions of Android ever since Jelly Bean. Now I've recently been noticing that my wifi and 3G is acting up. I constantly lose the connection (shows up as a small exclamation mark on the wifi/3G symbol) and while sometimes I can fix it simply by switching to airplane mode and back, it often requires a reboot to get things working again.
While I have been updating my ROMs quite frequently, I've never actually touched the modem firmware, which makes me think that it's probably the reason for these problems. Which leads me to the following questions I have:
1) Where can I find the right firmware version? All I know is that my phone is a I9505 from the German carrier 1&1 and that the baseband is XXUEMKF (I vaguely remember that it may have been a different baseband in the past, I may have fooled around with it back when I was completely new to custom ROMs).
2) Is there any way of updating the baseband without using Odin? My USB connection has a loose contact. Charging still works, but data transfer only works if the phone is ABSOLUTELY not moving. Even so much as breathing on the phone will cause it to lose connection. I do most of my data transfers over wifi with Airdroid, so this hasn't bothered me until now. Any way to get around using Odin?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running Resurrection Remix 5.5.7 (Lollipop 5.1.1)

I'm in Sweden and wishing someone with experience made it easier to find most up to date firmware and maybe even a brief explaination on fixes. Also I'd like to know for all these roms if there is a possible ROM + FIRMWARE package possible so you always have the correct firmware for your rom, i.e running Lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or 5.1 or 5.1.1 seems to be needing different f/w's (or am I completely wrong?)
I'm currently running [JDCTeam][STABLE][5.1.1][1 November] Optimized CyanogenMod 12.1 build with latest update and I'm getting the "known" black screen in calls which is so annoying.
But when I run Aurora S6 Port 5.2 [OTA Update 1.6 by JASONRR] I have NO ISSUES what so ever.
Please someone explain this!

You guys probably need to update bootloader and modem. You can manually flash them or flash a stock Lollipop rom.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505
Try this version. I9505XXUHOJ2
It doesn't matter from which country. Flash it using Odin (you can only update modem and bootloader using Odin). Afterwards you can restore you rom.

Since I'm still less then 10 posts I can't post external links...I have that and "sammobile dot com", but what I didn't know was that you could flash from different countrys, this is new to me. So a new question arises and that is why in several posts here on XDA there are lists with multiple selections depending on location like this thread [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025 ].

It's only used as a reference to know where a firmware was released. It doesn't matter if you pick a firmware released in for example Germany or one released in Sweden. Same firmware but different label. Just ignore it.
ps the black screen will be solved after you update modem+bootloader.

*Update*
Updated the Bootloader (BL_UHOJ2.tar) and Modem (CP_UHOJ2.tar) but blackscreen in calls persists
And since I know that it works 100% in Aurora ROM I'm guessing it's a software issue (I presumed it was fw but maybe not). Running "Proximity Fix" doesn't fix it either, sensor still shows 0cm! It isn't a bad sensor i.e no air blowing issue!
Please advice!!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm still a little intimidated by all this. Which firmware version should I flash? There's the HOJ2 version that seems to exist for many different countries and carriers and some are described as being for branded (simlocked?) phones. My phone is unlocked and I'm using the carrier 1&1 in Germany. Which version do I download? And why is it a 1.5GB file? I thought this was just the modem and bootloader? Or does it only come in combination with a full stock ROM?
Also, any tips on where to download, all the links I find are for filesharing sites that throttle non-premium downloads to ridiculously low speeds.

Howto: Load International Mate 8 Software on Chinese Mate 8.

This is a very simple guide to load the International (NXT-L29) software onto the Chinese version (I have NXT-AL10 with 128GB and it works for me.) Please try at your own risk. If anything goes wrong you can always do the Wifi recovery.
Prerequisites:
Bootloader Unlocked.
Fastboot, ADB, Drivers (I can't do a tutorial for this, please google for how to get these set up.)
Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B79PB4FhWfJAVXpUaGpmS3pyd28/view?usp=sharing
You should get a RAR file with a bunch of IMG files. These are extracted from NXT-L29_C900B133_Firmware_global_Nonspecific_Android6.0_EMUI4.0_05013HRE
Boot the phone into fastboot mode, using ADB or holding power+volume down.
Run the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash cache (PATH-TO)cache.img
fastboot flash cust (PATH-TO)cust.img
fastboot flash system (PATH-TO)system.img
fastboot flash userdata (PATH-TO)userdata.img
If everything went well, everything will work when you boot it up.
It cost me $20 to download the firmware from an unscrupulous Iranian site, but I pass along the gains to everyone at no charge
Differences from the Chinese version:
1. Google apps and services.
2. Voice wakeup is no longer very powerful. If you speak Chinese, you can ask the Chinese version of HiVoice the weather, play music, etc. The International (English) version only lets you make calls and find your phone, so it's less useful.
3. Missing various Chinese apps.
For me, in a lot of ways the Chinese version is better. It makes me want to learn Chinese so I can have some hands-free assistant compatibility But things like Google Now on Tap are working in the International version, so it's useful in its own ways as well.
UPDATE: Wifi restore might not necessarily work to revert to Chinese firmware. So please be very careful. I was able to revert by using flashboot to put back the Chinese firmware, then using the wifi restore once my device was recognized as NXT-AL10 again.

Only if you unlock the phone first, though. For example, when I'm going to sleep and I have the phone nearby, I might ask the weather for the next day, etc. If I theoretically spoke Chinese well enough to do that, I could
I can use the voice assistant to wake the phone, then use "Ok Google" to activate google now, but google now's voice response only works if the phone has no lockscreen set. I have no idea why.

hey duraaraa, so u managed to get to those firmwares after all, congratz! and big big thanks for making it available free of charge, kudos for taking one for the community! much appreciated
so hey, questions: did u notice any difference between the two firmwares concerning the ubiquituous notification issue? and why did u flash right back to the chinese firmware? are u so set on learning chinese? haha

Maybe a 3 party lockscreen app can solve the problem.

It will not fix push messages. The push messages issue can be fixed with Doze settings or by disabling Phone Manager. But please note, you can't fix the push messages by installing this. I tried and failed

The reason is the Chinese firmware has more unique Huawei features. Feels like (although Google stuff got added) more got taken out than was added, and I can add the Google stuff myself, to the Chinese ROM.
The permission manager also became Google's version (I somewhat preferred Huawei's version), and there just didn't seem to be any reason to stay on the international firmware. The only thing I could think of is if I could somehow use international modem to enable Band 28 for Japan where I am currently, but since Band 1 and 3 are covered, I'm generally okay in that regard too.
As for learning Chinese to use the HiVoice assistant, I think it would be very fun to learn enough to communicate with my phone
To be clear, notification issues are exactly the same on Chinese and on International ROMS. Please don't get your hopes up You can fix them with Doze settings editor, though, on either.

I noticed that the file manager is missing on the internal rom. The yellow Pages App was removed and unlinked to the "call" app, so you won´t get any chinese numbers as recommendation if you start dail a number.

*** ROOT ***
i tried rooting the Mate8 with International (NXT-L29) Rom successfully. After setting up the device with the files from International rom, i sent it to twrp with the Mate8 root tool. On exit custom recovery, you may choose to install superSU script. After reboot into normal mode, superSU script appears on the screen and can be used to auto-Install SuperSU (again via twrp, but automatic mode).

@duraaraa Can you post Contacts.apk of international rom, I hate some chinese yellow page

@duraaraa Thanks for your efforts! I do not own a Mate 8. Still deciding between Mate 8, Blue XL pure and the new Letv Le Max Pro (which isn't out yet).
I also admire your willingness to learn Chinese to take advantage of some of the Mate 8 features! I was wondering, on the international version, is recovery in English?

true, good point, recovery in english would be another argument to switch to the international rom i guess im gonna take my time and check both the original chinese and the international rom, see which one serves my needs best just several days to go now, my mate 8 should be arriving next week

You will need to unpack it. Use this tool:
http://fs1.d-h.st/download/00173/wwfQ/HuaweiUpdateExtractor_0.9.9.3.zip

I would like to note that I have not been able to successfully get notifications working with the screen off (in doze IDLE state) with the international rom, regardless of doze settings. I'm working to figure out the root of the notifications issue. It looks like despite the timer, the phone never goes from IDLE to IDLE_MAINTENANCE in both the latest Chinese version and in the international version I posted in this thread. When I find the answers (I'm currently testing with an older Chinese version I had notifications working on before) I will let everyone know!
EDIT: I made a post about this, so please refer to it. If anyone can help me figure out why these phones (except for one firmware version) don't get out of IDLE when they're supposed to, we can solve this for everyone
