Hey folks! Are you using Galaxy Note N7000? We have a good news for you all. Samsung has released Android 4.1.2 official Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLT4 Firmware. But don’t consider this new update as a significant change for your smartphone as it comes to solve some bugs existing in the old one.
This tutorial for all those who couldn’t receive yet this new update by OTA or couldn’t install by using KIES app. This new update is simply a bug fixer which has been reported from the previous Android JB available for Galaxy Note N7000.
With new Firmware, better options for the camera and probably faster performances for your device can be experienced. But that depends on how our readers of this manual guide respond after following this tutorial.
Understand this tutorial carefully and don’t skip any step otherwise you may not get the desired result.
Pre-requisites and Guidelines:
- You don’t’ need to root your device or to install a custom Recovery tool for installing this update.
- The warranty of your Note N7000 device will not get void by installing this update.
- If you have root rights on your device, after you apply this latest firmware, the root rights will be revoked, and the system will be relocked. If you’re running a custom ROM in your device, this is a good occasion to install an official version to the stock with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean OS. Another advantage for the users are: if they have a custom ROM inside their Note device, the warranty will be restored after they apply this new official Firmware.
- A manual procedure sometimes is risky, and that’s why we strongly recommend you to back-up all your data stored into the device’ internal memory. If some issues appear and you need to reinstall the update again, a wipe is required, and that will erase all your data from your device’ internal memory.
- When you’re starting to back-up your personal data, I recommend you to back-up the SMS, the call logs, EFS folder, sync your contacts with your Gmail account, copy your images, music, videos, documents files to the local or in the cloud and also back-up all data that you might need.
- You need a windows computer along with your device and an original USB cable.
- Your smartphone must have at least 65% power left in it. Otherwise it may experience sudden shut down during the flashing process.
- Uninstall or deactivate the security programs as Antivirus and Firewall from all devices being used in this process like the PC and the Android device, these kinds of applications can interfere with the installation process.
- Enable the USB debugging option on your Note N7000 device following the next path: “Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”.
- This tutorial and all the instructions listed here, are compatible and can be used only for the Samsung Galaxy Note model no N7000. Don’t try to install this latest update on any other similar device. This may damage it.
