Download the new firmware, flash it with odin. Otherwise, upgrade via kies.

don't stress yourself about soft bricking your phone it is repairable
take the time to search through the various forum sections that are some useful "how to" guides on installing / upgrading your phone's firmware

Well said. Also, Odin isn't some homemade crappy software. It's acually a samsung flash tool made by samsung.

If it can't be updated by kies its probably OTA update.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software update (or simmilar, i use Croatian language so idk exact name in english).

chances are your phone is in a region that has not been given the latest firmware update yet
this is fairly common
your best bet is to use odin and do a manual update to the latest firmware version
make sure you pick the right one for your model of phone

As much as I know there are p3100, p3110 and p3113. I think a read somewhere that the last two are for Europe and USA. The first one is 3G.
Is there a way to find out are these two the same? Will I be able to install stock rom because mine is some other one as u can c from picture? I'm not that good in these thing,(I know how to flash that's all) maybe some adb command

Is there a way you could share your rom with me? This is the original stock rom version I had on my tab 2, but flashed over it without backing up.

I am a little confused on how to check what the firmware is.
Is it the build number as shown in the settings/about phone (attached) or is what Kies state when tab is connected

Just received an OTA update on my 3113, but could not install it as it does not work with CWM recovery.
Based on the info message, it's 4.0.4 based + some app updates.
Base on the files inside the update, version should be P3113UEBLG2.

(I think) if your not rooted the ota update should self install. You can't flash an ota through CWM but can through Odin.

To unroot, flash the UnRoot-i9001-signed.zip
To go back stock recovery, flash the 9001_stock_recovery-signed.zip
Don't want to do all this, simply download a stock ROM that suit your region and flash with Odin 4.43 or upgrade your firmware by Samsung Kies.
All of the information you can get it from the Wiki page
Search from there I think all the information that provided in the wiki page is more than enough and easy to understand.
Ok, thanks, now I know
I am living in f***ing Serbia separated from the rest of IT world where everything comes last or doesn't come at all.
I don't have official Gingerbread above 2.3.3 so my only option is to backup my current ROM which is stock and to restore it one day if needed...

But it doesn't matter, I will backup the current which is stock and save it if it's needed in future
Have you search in SamMobile Firmware?I found one,it have same PDA as you and the build date is September 2011,for more information you can check in SamFirm page.BTW,here the download link : http://www.hotfile.com/dl/156719871/41e0c70/I9001XXKI2_I9001SEBKH1_SEB.zip.html
I found it, but the CSC is not the same. Btw is CSC important to be the same?
I don't know,i still new to android & samsung rom.I think PDA is more important:silly:btw,only this rom has have same PDA as your.
CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code (not sure exactly which it is, both kinda make sense). It contains the files for customisation for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. Some CSC files contain a lot more than others, hence the file size differences.
Mixing different PDA/PHONE/CSC files is certainly possible, although it might be best not to stray too far on the PDA and PHONE side. The CSC isn't really very important in most cases - at worst you'll probably just have to set up the APN manually

Help! No 4.0.4 update still in my Note 1.

Hi Guys,
I've searched everywhere in the google about upgrading my note to 4.0.4 (currently i have 4.0.3) however, some of the users suggest that i should have rooted or flash my phone. (I dont want to risk my phone) One article that ive seen is, i should change my CSC code to DBT by doing *#272 so i can have an update..... I tried to do that but there is no DBT in the selection. So here are my questions:
1. Aside from DBT, what are the other CSC codes that comes first available whenever there is an update?
2. If i change my CSC, do i need to change it back after i get the 4.0.4 update? Or not necessarily?
Thanks in advance.

hi
why all this ? CSC change and ...
just download a stock rom and flash it with odin PC it is safe just like with kies
I flashed my note like 100 time in the last 3 month and I have no problem

Firstly have u tried

2. Did u check setting >about phone>software updates.
These are basics n company recommended. then if still nothing works n you want to be on safe side. visit customercare n get it updated by them.

First of all i want to thank you guys for your patience of teaching me how to update to 4.0.4. It was a success! Thank you!
However i just have a quick question, i tried checking the CSC in *#1234# and im showing that my CSC is DBTLRT, however when i checked in *#272*IMEI, there is only one sales code and its ATO, so does it mean that my CSC is still ATO? Or DBT? So can i just disregard the ATO in *#272*IMEI?
i would like to think that this is the official 4.0.4 in DBT that i just installed and im happy because i didn't root it
Cheers!
Your csc is not properly set, as it is a ATO not DBT, though if you don't have any issues continue as it is, check for sometimes it may give null typing on Samsung keyboard.

Thank you Dr Ketan, i will do that.
At first, i thought the reason why my Sales config shows ATO because i didn't factory reset the phone after i flashed it. ehehe! So it is kinda weird that i have DBTLRT CSC in *#1234# but when i checked in *#272*IMEI, it only shows ATO in sales config. Thank you thank you
*#1234# shows info according ROM you have flashed
but that CSC is not applied still so no update on *272...code
It is issue related to applying CSc post flashing, not with factory reset.

Lastly, is there a Thank you button here? I can't thank you enough
There is no special thread for that, but when i see multiple issue (this happened to DDLR9/LRQ/LRT) at that time/if i get personal request, then only i do upload it.
BTW, you didn't mentioned have it solved your issue or not.
