Proud owners of the original Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 will be happy to hear that Jelly Bean 4.1.2 has just been leaked via SamMobile. But before you jump up and down to celebrate, do note that this is a test firmware version, which means that it has a couple of glitches and that it cannot be accessed via KIES. SamMobile says that the N7000XXLSA Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean test firmware version is the first ever for the international device.
However, it added that a lot of work has to be done by Samsung in order to roll out the final Jelly Bean update. The official Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update is expected to be released sometime in December or January. First leaked a couple of days ago on XDA-Developers, the N7000XXLSA test firmware has been downloaded directly by an insider from Samsung’s servers.
It has been fully tested and should work on your device. Enhancements of the firmware include Google Now, a new notifications bar, multi-views, page buddy, smart rotation, new widgets, Samsung’s Cloud services, and Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play Features. You can download the firmware here. The flashing instructions are as follows:
