The update, which has been rolled out in various countries, including the Netherlands and Switzerland, can now be downloaded and installed on to the handset manually. The new firmware brings bug fixes and performance improvements to the Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100.
Users who are unable to get the new firmware by an over-the-air update or Samsung Kies can perform manual flashing on their devices using Odin. However, users should note that flashing official firmware restores kernel, which voids the root access on the device.

Modem: N7100XXUENA3
Android Version: 4.3
Build date: Fri, 07 Mar 2014
