download and extract that zip.

usually u get 5xxMB zip then extracted may go to 8-900mb
like this gNote ROM

Hi Guys,

This morning at 730 am i was prompted to download the new firmware by my phone so I downloaded it using my data (3G). Never once did the download got interrupted or shown any issues. After installation, the phone hand at the Samsung logo and wont load.

At 11am, I sent it to the Lowyat Samsung Service Center.
First, the guy at the number ticket counter told me that me its known issue that download update over wifi/3g is unstable and can cause issues so we must use KIES. No one ever told me that as all my previous updates were done via wifi/3G. Got a feeling that if I told him I updated over KIES, he would have told me the opposite. I didn't want to waste my time talking to him.

When my number was called, I explained to the CS lady again. She was more friendly and told me that they will try to flash it but no guarantees. She said its known the new firmware is unstable (unstable official firmware, great!). If they can't flash within an hour then it could be hardware issue. As my phone is no longer under warranty, I will have to pay.

Now patiently waiting for 12pm.

Back in February, I had a similar issue and they had to change the motherboard but it was FOC due to still having warranty.

But why do I have to pay for Samsung's own mistake?

Hi guys, if i want to install SlimBean rom(which is in zip form, not pda,tar for Odin) can i use Framaroot? or i need to install CWM?

Guys, where can I find latest FW to be flash via odin? .md5 format is it? Check at sammobile looks like .zip format. Currently downloading. Maybe need to extract it first. I don't want lose my root when upgrade. How? Is this the correct way?

After the latest update, my apps crash, nfc and s beam can no longer be used. Cant transfer files. Aiyo. Still figuring out what other problems will this update give me.

Post some feedback for the rom yo!

I got my Nexus 7 the other day, stock 4.1 then OTA said got update, I update but it got stuck @ 4.2 only.
After messing around with Google framework force close and clear cache I got 4.3 via force update.
Last night I left the device then pick it up to use, extreme lag! I guess it's the file management / defrag or whatever doing its job and I interrupted. Only for like 5 minutes or so, then it went speedy again as normal. I got 2 profiles loaded on it. 

For reading no need fast2 one. ..lolz
