Review the risks:

• Note that we are talking about the official Android 4.4.2 KitKat XXUFND3 OS version, so features are supposed to work properly, but don’t forget to do your job correctly. Don’t skip any step and pay attention!;
• Even more, applying this update won’t void the warranty in any manner;
• This firmware that we are talking about is released only for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 model, Please do not try this update on any other Galaxy variant, as this could brick the device. If you are not one hundred percent sure, just verify the model number of your handset by navigating to Settings>> About phone>> Model number;
• Any damage caused to your handset is your responsibility; we can only tell you to follow all these procedures and steps carefully in order to avoid breaking your handset. However, if this happens, Androidflagship.com has nothing to do with it!

Preparatory steps:

• As this update procedure is likely to wipe all data, make a backup of everything that might be important including the internal SDcard;
• Disable the security protection on your laptop and prepare the original USB cable;
• Install Galaxy’s Note 2 USB drivers in your PC; skip this step if you already have them properly installed;
• Check battery percentage before it is already too late; your device should have at least 70% battery left before starting the update; if not, it might be the time to charge it and avoid any unpleasant later surprise;
• Enable USB Debugging mode just as you always do, by going to Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging.
