Step by step instructions

We have the steps for your tablet’s upgrade to the new OS.

  1. The first one should be performed this way: download the and Odin v3.09 on the notebook. When these packages are on your device, they must be extracted with 7Zip or WinRar. Odin v3.09.exe has to be open on your laptop and the tablet will need to be booted in Download Mode.
  2. The latter is a step which requires you to press and simultaneously hold Home, Power and Volume Down, then wait for a boot message to be on the screen. Volume Up has to be pressed next. Go to the tablet’s box and take its USB cord out.
  3. This cord will be the tool which connects the gadget to your laptop. After a very short while, Odin will go searching for your tablet; as soon as it sees it, a blue sign will be revealed.
  4. The next step has to be done like this: once the the firmware file is added to AP / PDA, F. Reset Time must be checked. Auto Reboot should also be checked, but Re-partition should be unchecked. “Start“ is the option that plays an important role now; tap it to begin the flashing of the new firmware.
  5. If the tablet comes up with a message that says “Pass”, expect it to automatically reboot afterwards. When the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 SM-P900 comes back to life, it can be unplugged from the laptop. Do this by removing the USB cable.
  6. [sc name=”banner-jos”]The Android 4.4.2 ZCUANC1 can be launched on your tablet now. This operation is done as such: tap Settings and then About Tablet. If the new OS is on-screen, use it for a day or so and see if you like it more than what you were used to.
