[Q] Update to Official 4.3 via Kies (or other) - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Its to my understanding that samsung released the 4.2 update for the galaxy note 2. I have the international verison. When I connect my device to kies it doesnt recognize my firmware version. I think they have been rolling out based on country my concern is that because it is an international verison and the only news that I've heard about the update for that note 2 in the U.S is the carrier verisons, is there a way to update officially?

Wait for it to come out for your country and flash it with odin.
You can check here: www.samfirmware.com/ or here: http://samsung-updates.com/
Keep in mind that you will get the new KNOW boot-loader and the up-mentioned update is 4.3 not 4.2.x

I forgot that 4.2 was skipped. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep a look out.

I have GT-N7100 international version. I'm in UAE. I want to update to 4.3 which is out for other counties. Is there any issue of I download firmware from sammobile for India region and install on my note 2? My phone is rooted. Please check the attached picture for my build and details. Little guidance is appreciated as I'm still newbie.

[Q] Kies also doesnt upgrade the version

I have N7100XXALJ2 Baseband version in my phone and even if I connect to Kies then also it says its the latest OS whereas its only 4.1.1
Im sorry if I am asking a very stupid question here.
You have to wait - the update is only pushed out to few countries. You can follow the update periodically at samfirmware site - type 7100 into search and look for 4.1.2 update in your country.
N7105zhalj4
yeah, mine's an N7105ZHALJ4 and I too am waiting.
Mine came from Hong Kong via Kogan.com.au, and if I factory wipe it then it comes up in Chinese. I really want it to come up in English by default.
If I flashed a European ROM, would that fix it, or do I have to do some magic with the CSC?
thanks
2 of my friends have 4.1.2 stock through kies in the uk yet im unable to get it nor from samfirmware hows that work all phones are sim free

i had 4.1.1 and all went fine but stuckd at download mode ,thts the finall stage on kies upgrade..my xda frnds suggestd me to use odin and to suprise even odin dint recognize my phone in down mode...."and my drivers were all correct"...then i jus connected to my other port and it was all set to flash..iam on 4.1.2.....
If your phone is a brand one, it may take a long time for the carrier to make an update. I'm with Orange/Sosh in France, and my device is always with 4.1.1, no available update. But it's not that important, i use Exynos abuse to pach the infamous exynos memory exploit, phone works very well and is root, so i don't really need a new firmware.

My Samsung galaxy note 2 Android 4.1.2 not receive

Hello, I heard that some Samsung galaxy note 2 were receiving the new version of Android 4.1.2. I have the international version of note 2 and I did not receive the new version and I was wondering why this is happening and when will the new version arrive to my note 2. I think that this note 2 was imported from United Arab of Emirates. Please guys help me. I have been waiting for this version of Android for a long time.

You can manually download and flash from sammobile if your device rooted. Or else
Just wait for OTA.

I want to wait for the OTA but I don't know if the update will even release to my note 2. If you guys could find me a list of the update that will come depending on the country.
Try to update via kies.
Ota doesn't always show latest updates.
Also if you still can't get update, just dial *#1234# and take a pic of the screen and then upload it here.

Yes screenshot suggests your ROM is UAE(or one of gulf country), and that is latest for UAE.
If UAE is not your home country then better flash a ROM from your home land, which give you better language and play store support
Download latest ROM from below mentioned thread and flash using Odin, all the instruction available in OP

M at the end is just the model number for canadian variants. For instance, Rogers has the SGH-1747M model while AT&T has the SGH-1747 model. You can use AT&T roms on these devices though.

Well... if you have the carrier network aplication on your Note, then you have to wait until they release the update.
If not, I don't know what happen, because my device always on root condition and hit 21 counters, never got the OTA.
Try download from Sam if you like to.
Sorry for my bad english my friend.

just download the files at sammobile and flash it thru odin... kies kind of useless... or if you near any SC.. just go there and ask them to update for you.. they will do it for free

Easy, just download other country firmware from sammobile.com (middle east if you prefer arabic language) then download odin3.04, put your phone into download mode, open odin and check pda, choose the firmware and flash it, this can loss your data, backup it first.
