I have updated my GT-N8000 successfully using this method.Now my tablet looses WIFI passwords after a reboot. Can I repeat this update to get this issue resolved?
For some Reason after I installed the 4.4.2 on My Galaxy note 10.1 ..i can no longer download whatsapp from the store..it tells me that my device does not support the version of whatsapp !! any idea what to do ??
I followed your instruction to recover my note 10.1. I hold power+volume up button but the unit does not go into recovery screen as you showed. It blinks and show the samsung galaxy not 10.1 and keep flashing that. I have another one and it does go into the recovery mode but this bad one does not. I also tried Odin and tried to flash the rom but it failed after some time and the message was ” can not open the serial ( com) port.
Any help please to fix this issue?
Hi there, just had some questions. Im on the build number N8000XXCMF1 (4.1.2) (united arab Emirates) Variant. Flashing thif update using odin won’t be any trouble right?
Following the steps, it works flawlessly. I’ve read that you can’t go wrong if you flash the firmware which matches the region/country where you bought the tablet (In my case, used PHE_N8010XXUDNG1), and OBVIOUSLY, the tablet model. Nothing impossible to find with some quick Google search.
Hi there. It’s not working for me. I can’t acess the developer options, but I think that debbugin is on. After all the steps above, it just fails and says in Odin “There is no PIT partion”. What should I do?

Press the buttons for longer time until recovery menu appears. If it doesn’t then reflash the firmware following the same steps. Agin go into download mode and flash.
Sorry New to this, I want to update my N8000, the product code refers to Germany (language as well), I am in South Africa, does this update allow English and will it work in SA? Assistance is appreciated
Dear Faiq, thanks for this helpful post, before I start with the procedure I want to be sure that I will not loose any app that I have installed, can you tell me if it will be so? I have many games where I have reached high levels and prizes that I do’t want to loose. Thanks in adavnce for your reply
Hello My Galaxy N8000 stuck on samsung logo after updating and I can t access recovery mode. I tried Volume UP + Power On many time, no recovery mode. Any suggestion ?
I have a problem on Step 5. I’ve managed to call system menu but it looks differently even though I have Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000. There are few oprions to choose:
– reboot system now
– apply update from ADB
– apply update from external storage (I downloaded all needed files to the SDcard as well just in case and I can see them there)
– wipe data/factory reset
– wipe cashe partition
– apply update from cashe
Dear Droidopinions,
Thank you very much for your guidance! I really appreciated you for putting together and publishing this very useful topic. I have been waiting for a such guidance since awhile. Now, with the help of droidopinions, I succeeded and upgraded my N8000 tablet.
Thanks ! Never knew my tablet could be THAT fast. It seemed like it was a potato instead of a processor, because i had this tablet for 3 years. But now, it is reaaaly fast. Can’t be happier about it !
Fantastic info. Thanks a lot for the guidelines .My galaxy note 10.1 N8000, was a dummy after an attack by a virus. I kept it down for 2 months out of frustrations. Now it’s working incredibly on kitkat. keep up the good work buddy.
I tried the above : “HOW TO FIX IF YOU ARE STUCK AT BOOTLOOP OR SAMSUNG LOGO” – thinking my tablet would return to original.
After wipe data and wipe cache my tablet worked like a charm – WITH KitKat 4.4.2 🙂
Disconnect the device from the computer. Close Odin, run Odin again and repeat the process. If still problem occurs then download the firmware again completely and repeat the process again using the newly downloaded firmware.
Dear Faiq, my N8000 10.1 keeps getting stuck and most of the times it automatically brings up wi-fi and mobile data. So frustrating. I don’t know if carrying out the update procedure will make these to stop.
Thanks.
Hi Ameh Chris, You should reset your tablet as it solves most of the problems. Save all your data first before resetting your tablet. Updating your tablet may solve the problem but it is up to you. However you can always downgrade your tablet if you don’t satisfy on kitkat update.
Dial *#1234# on your tablet and see if all the three files AP, CP and CSC are present. If any file is unknown then reflash the firmware. This might solve the problem of unrecognize simcrad. I had this problem once on my phone and I did the same thing and it solved.

This is the problem with your USB Data cable. Use any other USB cable.

Hello Faiq!
Good instructions.
I have a GT-8013 model. It is stuck on the first screen of Samsung Logo.
Can you, please, help me to recover this one.

Don’t worry. Follow the steps carefully. Nothing will go wrong. Everybody succeeded using this procedure.
Dear author,
I have a problem on Step 5. I’ve managed to call system menu but it looks differently even though I have Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000. There are few oprions to choose:
– reboot system now
– apply update from ADB
– apply update from external storage (I downloaded all needed files to the SDcard as well just in case and I can see them there)
– wipe data/factory reset
– wipe cashe partition
– apply update from cashe
What should I do?
My n8000 update failed in between. It says complete write operation failed.
Does this work for the N8013?
Hi, Scott
This won’t work on GT-N8013 model. N8013 model didn’t receive kitkat update.
Darn…
Will anything take my 8013 out of 4.1.2 “dark ages”, or should I just trash it and get a new tablet?
You can install a custom rom. There are many kitkat and lollipop based custom roms out there.
Thank you very much for this post .i install this firmware after see ur post
now my tablet firmware changed onece again thank you so so much
work on a GT-N8013?
No, mate. Unfortunately it doesn’t work on N8013.
Excuse me! Should I download “odin” and the other file on my pc or on tablet? Please help me….
Download both Odin and firmware file on your PC. Run Odin on your PC and select the firmware file to install it on your tablet.
Thank you …dear faiq ahmed

Hi,

SingleDownload.

After updating my phone fail to recognise my sim it just bring up emergency service only
