Yes, 4.1.2 was pulled off (im in malaysia btw) due to battery drain issues.

I don't think it is pull down but something wrong on samsung server
If latest was pulled down then prior to this should show as latest, as of now i have read many review, watever ROM you are having it says you have latest ROM.
e.g. India have latest LL7 before it LL4, LJ3, LJ1, and LIE was there.
if LJ1 user connect device to kies/check OTA it says your ROM is latest. So if LL7 is withdrwan then he/she should get LL4
So i assume its server issue but bot pull down of ROM.
@furrr Anyway what you are getting by dialing *#1234# from which i can say which country ROM you may have now.

With reference to Singapore,
An update for 4.1.1 was available OTA, which was 4.1.2 (LL7) at the end-of-Dec 2012. It was pulled down later. Again we have a new 4.1.2 (MA6) at the end-of-Jan 2013 now.

Battery issue might be the reason for delaying 4.1.2 BTU UK update ? Any ideas ?

AP: N7100 XDMA6
CP: N7100 DDDLK6
CSC: N7100 DDDMA1
Now wheres my phone stands? Do samsung rolled back the last upgrade or this is new upgrade that I got.it shows 4.1.2

Actually today there was two update rolled out
First update you got 57.69mb was ma5
And then 35mb update is ma6 and that is latest.
So you are on latest indian rom.

Your probably right, i contacted samsung uk about 4.1.2 week before last and they had no eta available for 4.1.2 and just told me to watch their fb page!!!

Hello. I'm new user. My phones CSC: N7100OJVALJ2 CP: N7100XXALJ2 AP: N7100XXALJ3. I don't know my phones country and how to update 4.1.2 multi-window. Pls reply for me...

I still don't understand why theres no UK release considering all the other ota updates there has been since beginning Jan 13, just seems very odd.
Having said that I flashed back to 4.1.1 BTU yesterday and my phone is much better, faster smoother and battery lasts better, maybe something to do with UK networks?

New update?

I'm currently on N7100XXDLL7 and my phone is downloading a 99.72MB update. Is this new or am i just getting a previous update that everyone already got. This is in Malaysia.

Extremely sorry but I don't understand what's added! I don't see anything new, nothing. Maybe this update will bring back the battery backup like before, but I can't confirm that as I've flashed just 2 hours before.
'Flowed' from my GT-N7100

Thanks Jujuburi.. Just checked for the update and have received two updates.. 1. 59.7 mb DMA5 and another 34.x mb DMA6.. I hope the battery drain would be resolved by this.. I guess this shd be the last update on 4.1.2 and then we might get a taste of 4.2.1 etc... Although I can skip the 4.2.1 update for key lime pie wenever it gets released.. I just hope our friend Sammy releases it as soon as google does...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

let us know
Please when you have some information about if it fix the battery drain in 4.1.2 let me know because I am quite interested in updating but I don't want to have the incredible battery drain that is posted in the 4.1.2 forums
TY

hmm, i just checked and im getting the update pushed to me too. wonder if theres a changelog.
hopefully its not along the lines of what sammobile has posted here

i dont much like the idea of having to be in the device's country of origin to be able to update my device. i bought my device online and it happens to be a european device. i generally dont like buying device's from australian resellers since australian firmware devices tend to be the last to get updates.
edit - using complete stock unrooted rom after update, quadrant score went up from 6900 to 7100. antutu score dropped from 18300 to 17950. i'd consider these score differences to be quite negligible though.

Dial *#1234# from your stock phone dialer. This will let you know your CSC. That is your country. You can find the update on xda or plug the phone into Samsung Kies on your computer to check for the update.

I've been with 4.1.2 since it came out and I've never had a battery drain issue, infact my batter is lasting longer with the batter hardware acceleration from the UI/apps/livewallpaper.. though i understand that the vocal minority (extreme minority) are having battery issues though I've never experienced it.

Mine is a SDS issue bug chipset

Hello I m on SDS bug chip Type: VTU00M, FwRev: 0xf1.....
but can anyone please make me understand actually what is sudden death issue????????
please someone helo as I am so much worried

99% having it, just flash latest 4.1.2 (LL7 and up) it is believed to be fixed this issue.
SDS - device can die without any reason, like you have keep device on table and just auto reboots and never turns on.

Thank you for the quick reply bro...
but when I was checking my chip model with eMMC app then it shows like my chip is "sane" like this attachment..
So is there any way that my chip is unaffected :S
Thanks in advance

It was stater that "sane" remark worth nothing. Pay attention to the chip revision.
I myself can hardly believe the whole f1 batch is affected equally. But better be safe...

Chip is hardware and you can understand fixing with SW it doesn't change your hardware. it will remain same, but once you flash latest ROM (having fix) it will block commands which can damage device.

[Q] Should I update?

I just bought an international Galaxy Note 2 and it came with 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ1 and I can update it to 4.1.2 N7100XXDMA6. I'm asking you should I update because I've read very bad reviews on this forum about bad battery life, problems with microSD cards and Wi-Fi issues. Thanks in advance!

Well you missed very bad reviews about sds bug. You could be the next anytime.
Other than that flash dma5 for your country. It has a good battery life imao. Never been on 4.1.1 so can't tell.

Bro please download "eMMC check" app from play store and then see what is the "chip type" and "FwRev"...
If your chip type is "VTU00M" and FwRev is "0xf1" then u are a victim of SDS issue :S

Victim is when he will have a sudden death.
Currently there is a high probability of vulnerability to sds bug.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

So should I update to 4.1.2 N7100XXDMA6? I don't know if I should because of the bad battery life, problems with microSD cards and some Wi-Fi issues users are reporting.

What about "VTU00M" and FwRev "0xf7"? Is it safe?

Yeah dma6 does have a bad battery try ubdll3 or xxdma5.
I tried all 2.4dll6 2.5ubdll3 2.6dma5 and 2.7dma6 of wanamlite and best was of 2.5 and 2.6
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

ubdll3 won't help, battery is poor either

So I guess it's best for me to stick with 4.1.1 N7100XXALJ1.

I thought Samsung fixed SDS bug in one of the more recent kernels?
If not just root and flash Perseus or one of the other custom kernels that has been patched. No need to man the life boats

Yup, too many people going crazy over this.... yet has a single Note 2 owner even suffered SDS yet?
Also, I wouldn't place too much trust in Exynos Abuse app on Play Store. Even on patched kernels it still reports vulnerabilities, or so I hear.

Stuck on bootscreen

Hello!
So now for a few days my phone has been acting weird. When I wake up in the morning, I see that the phone has restarted under the night and now today, it is kind of dead. First it wouldn't open when pressing homebutton or powerbutton and then I took out the battery and put it in again and then the bootscreen showed twice and after that the phone worked for about 5 minutes to later be frozen again and now it only shows the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" bit before the Samsung logo and won't proceed.
I have rooted my phone and I have Clockwork as recovery and also the mod app2sd to change so my sdcard is the default one. I can access download mode but not recovery.
So I'm hoping for a answer from you guys, how should I "unbrick" it? I still want to keep the stock Samsung ROM. I might agree to add a custom Samsung ROM that only have been bricked because I kinda like the Samsung ROM. But mainly, I want my phone to start!
Regards, DarknessSky

My warranty is still "active" but I have a rooted phone with CWM and the mod "app2sd". I have used Triangle Away to change the flash count to 0 but when I was "inside" the phone and viewed the phone status it said "modified". Will Samsung notice these things or might they just flash a "working" ROM and then send it back?
Thanks in advance!

It's sds. It can't be booted up without replacing motherboard.
If the counter is zero and binary is official then there should be no issues. If they asking you questions related to rooting which they probably wouldn't just act like a complete ass.

I've got another question that is related to Samsung... When I send my phone in my motherboard then is "broken", right? Do they actually take the time to replace it or do they just send another one? How likely is it that they just send a new one? I've also have a problem with my 3,5mm input because it is too big.

i never rooted it and to my surprize when i enter the download mode i find ODIN!!!
so does this still mean it's an SDS with the motherboard thingi? or can i just flash my first custom rom and get thru the day easily? please advise!
