An Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update is already rolling out to Galaxy Note 3 users in Europe, no doubt garnering envy from Note 3 owners in other regions. For those not fortunate enough to get the latest build via Samsung KIES, a manual installation method is available and outlined below.
The firmware build is designated N9005XXUDMJ7 and is meant for Galaxy Note 3 handsets with the model number SM-N9005.
As always, DroidReport assumes no liability for the firmware installation. Proceed with caution.
Before Getting Started
Before you get started, make sure that your Galaxy Note 3 is unlocked and rooted. As always, you want to backup your device and charge it to at least 80 percent.
Finally, enable USB Debugging mode by navigating to Settings -> Developer Options.
