Latest Stock firmware versions - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi just got my note 2 today.
and checking to see what the latest Stock firmware version is?
my phone currently says:
Android version: 4.1.1
Baseband versoin: N7100XXALIH
kernel version: 3.0.31-259982
Build number: JRO03C.N7100XXALJI
is this the latest one with multi-screen feature already??

Mine got the same updated too, but no multi windows function yet
Stock Hong Kong firmware.

If it is ALJ1 then it wl definitely have multi windows.
Hold the the back button. It will introduce a "blue lip" on the left side of screen. Pull that drawer, and you will find a alot of apps in a list. Drag any two apps from there to main screen and viola~! Multi screen

The Official JM1

As you guys knew that Kies was offering JM1. I decided to upgrade anyways (despite getting "dont update" comments in other post here).
just finished updating my phone and the lag is minimal.
The details in "Settings > About Phone" gives me this
Model Number : GT-19000
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Baseband Version: I9000XXJM1
Kernel Version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build Number: ECLAIR.I9000XXJM1
and the *#1234# gives me this:
PDA: I9000XXJM1
PHONE: I9000XXJM1
CSC: I9000OXAJM1
New Features:
the first thing I've seen is the new Sweep Lock Animation. (its the same as the old one but with animated arrows on each side).
faster media scanning?
new notification for fully charged battery. (there was a popup earlier, now the notification pops up in top bar with a sound).
new Task Manager! (yes a Task Manager from Samsung!)
The quick toggle keys in notification list has been changed! a new GPS icon has been added.
a notification(?) appears when USB is connected asking to close all apps before trying to start up MTP mode.
[*]MTP mode starts automatically instead of menu.
[*]New notification sounds.
[*]Larger speakers/mute/headset buttons during call.
[*]Customizable fonts via FlipFonts.
the phone feels slowish when I press "application" or "home" only due to the animation. If there was no fade in/out animation, It would have been awesome!.
will check the battery life tonight when I go to work.
till then ciao!
If we only could get it in norway too.. :/
I don't get it. Is JM1 newer than JM5?
All those features exist in JM5!!
JM5 is newer than JM1
JM1 is official where as JM5 isnt.

Hi,
You can download the official firmware from Samsung Kies Software
My quadrant score is 896
I haven't applied any lag fix as of now. But my phone is reasonably faster.
When I ran quadrant, the Task Manager showed me that I had around 110MB free memory left in RAM.
updated my first post.

Maybe you can enter *#*#44336#*#* to see the build date/time too. And I'm wondering if you got a changelist entry there (a number).

Interesting to know that this fw version also has a changelist nr. It seems that all official releases have a changelistnr, whereas test versions don't.

One more observation, the battery icon on mine doesn't turn to yellow and red anymore as it empties.
Could U upload the backup form ROM Manager?
Posted this another place too, but didn't get any answers. Is this official jm1 different from the unofficial one? Are they IDENTICAL?

Thanks, but that wasn't my point, I was just trying to add an observation to the changes seen in the official JM1 firmware.
Besides, that mod doesn't have a version for the JM1, so I couldn't use it even if I wanted to.
I was on jm1 before I flash with jm5. I think I notice, jm1 allow me to response to exchange meeting invitation where jm5 doesn't. Thinking of flash it back jm1.

I managed to finally update the firmware from a non-stock JF3 rooted firmware, on a German phone with UK firmware, in South Africa!!!
I tried all kinds of things and could not get KIES to update to the new firmware, no matter what firmware etc I used. Here is what finally worked for me :
- Flash with JF3 from Samsung-firmwares if you are not running this already, does not matter if rooted.
- Start KIES without connecting the phone, open firmware upgrade and hold keys ctrl+alt+u+p to get it to go into test mode
- Connect the phone and viola, you can upgrade!
Note, this does not seem to work on the newest KIES version. I tried this on both my netbook (old KIES) and my pc (newest KIES) and only the old version worked. I am ugrading as I type.
Note this may not work on branded phones. I own an unlocked SGS
which ver.?

Update for W

Got info via Kies that there is a new update for my phone just want to check what version it is. Kies says:
On my phone: PDA: KI8 / PHONE: KI7 / CSC: KI3
And new one is: PDA: LA2 / PHONE: KL3 / CSC:KI3
I guess its only the 2.3.6 update?
This update was released before christmas. I'm currently running it and it is still 2.3.6. Just minor UI smoothening and slightly improved battery plus updated Android Market(3.4.4) and Google Books also installed by default. There are other minor changes like with a few icons. Its works fine for me so I'm sticking to it till ICS ROMS are released.

Does it tell you that the tablet has been changed or that there are no updates? If it is the first one, its probably because its rooted. If it is the later one i dont really know what could cause it, might be a branded tablet or something. Never been without Root so i have never done OTA updates on the Note8
1. It should be completely OK to flash that ROM
2. I have flashed several ROMs and kept the modem files and it works fine, tho with the ROM you are about to use you can flash it all without any problem as it is made for nordic countries
3. I have read the same, I have not tried to go back from 4.4 so i can not say if it is possible or not. But i am sure there are loads of threads about reverting and the KitKat bootloader.
4. Welcome to a really sweet tablet, tho there are not many custom ROMS developed for it, but those that are, are working really well
Thanks my savor for the answer
about my no update thing , if i checked for updates i got
"The latest updates have already been installed "
it was a crazy offer from Elgiganten nearly 50% off price i got it for 1990 sek although due to web error on elgiganten site i managed to buy it Electroword
so this not branded ?
and about bootloader thing , as i read we cannt replace it back , we can flashi4.1 or 4.2 with odin but still the bootloader will be 4.4 and many have issues with this combo
i read that 4.4 cause some problem for some users like spen 2mm off etc so i like to have to the option to completely downgrade or at least i will update to 4.2
what do you think
by the way did the Nordic version got 4.2 update ? i cannt find it on sammobile
and again thank you very much

I dont think we got 4.2 at all, i used Civatos ROM during 4.2 and now i use rooted stock and i have no problems at all actually. S Note might be a little bit more sluggish to write in than before but nothing major anyways.
I have also read about the 2mm off center Spen, i had that in 4.1, and then it was more or less than 2mm depending on where on the screen i pointed.
I it were up to me, i would upgrade, but if you want to be able to revert back to 4.1 that would be a problem. Maybe try a custom ROM first? But that would mean breaking warranty and if something happens you will have all the hassle of returning it to stock with no trace of custom ROMs I have done this three times so i know how frustrating it is,
The problem i had then with my Note8 was that the Spen would not register on a 2-3cm wide strio on the upper part of the screen. I think this was because i used a magnetic case (non OEM). and the two times following it was the service station that messed things up so that i had to revoke the purchase and get a new Note8 So i would suggest that if you want to protect your Note you should get a good backcover and then buy a tempered glass screenprotector from ebay. I work at a wire rod mill and i have the note with me everywhere and it doesnt have a scratch on it (plus it fits in the breastpocket of my flameproof jacket). I do not work directly in the production line but i am at the factory floor more than half my workday
A little sidetrack from the ROM-talk but i thought i should give my 2 cents on the Note, now i have to sleep... even tho we get a "free hour" I dont want to be a wreck in the morning
Thanks again and again
and i think i will try a custom first as you suggested , i read that i can have 4.4 room based on 4.1 bootloader
so i can check 4.4
and thanks about the case and protector advice , my main use for the tablet is in home so fro now i got a samsung book cover for it it is not the powerful protection but i liked that it is thin .
i was afraid of magnetic cases -non oem - as they have strong magnet so i bought the oem
have a nice dreams and for me it is custom room searching time

If you want official 4.4.2 install Samsung KIES (download), and plugin a cable between PC and tablet, then install the update through Samsung Kies,

I found the file myself and have uploaded on the cloud to help others in need. In fact this is a newer version of the firmware and working great. I am using this version on the mirror that looks like the one in attached pic.
The firmware can be found at the MEGA link below. Just use Phoenixcard software to burn the sd card as "product", insert the card in mirror and boot. It will load the firmware, takes about a minute, and will turn off. Take the card out, turn on the mirror and all set. Reformat the card as normal and continue using it. If phoenixcard doesnt run on windows 10, try to run in compatibility mode for windows 7.

I dont know why there is a space coming before 0NVc but if you remove that, it will work.
thx thx thx

Tengo una table china android estaba dando todo tipo de errores de firmware. Ahora no consigo el original ...
La version original del firmware era:
v2.0 astar_botton-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20150407 test-keys
I have a mirror (identical to RT01 or Phisung Q7) with a newer version of the same firmware (astar_evb-eng 4.4.2 KVT49L 20160510). However, it´s also acting up I'm getting a very basic UI with no app management function or even system info. Can't even select more than one song at a time or build a playlist. CarService stops frequently. Maps and Waze hang all the time. 491 error when trying to download anything from Play Store. Other times I get the "your device isn't compatible with this version" message when trying to update things like Chrome or Google Play Services. Will this older firmware provide a more functional interface and better performance despite being a month older? Thx!

Would the version you uploaded work for me, and could you explain how to do this please?
Many thanks in advance! I want to let my 6 year old use this tablet, and it crashes all the time, and when I connect a pc to it, I can't connect.

Green lines on videos

Hey everyone, in the last few months, I have a weird problem on my HTC 10 phone - green lines and split screen when I recording video.
When I see it on the phone it works fine, but when I share it on whatsapp,facebook,instagram, etc.. All the other devices see it with green lines (If I see what I shared it looks fine too). I tried to change ROM,Kernel but without success. Any suggestions?
Example in attachments.
Thanks!
Android 7.0
Current ROM: Viper10.5.11.0
Kernel: 3.18.31-ElementalX-HTC10-1.08-Sense
Build number: 2.41.401.41 8.0_g
I believe you are probably still on Marshmallow firmware, and Viper10 5.11.0 is Nougat based. You need to update your firmware.
What does it say next to "OS" in download mode? That is your current firmware version. Build number in settings > about is the ROM base. Also, are you S-On or S-Off? With that information I can direct you on the best way to update.
